Happy Simming,
SimGuruGnome Ft. SimGuruRusskiiAnd now onto the fixes:
Sims 4
- Fixed an issue with cycling swatch options while using the Numpad + and – keys.
- Fixed an issue which caused Error 122:324a2e8e to occur.
- Fixed an issue which caused Error 134:b378c837 to occur.
- Hello Error 134, was it me you were looking for? I don’t wonder where you are (now) and I don’t wonder what you do (now), I hope you don’t get lonely…
- Fixed an issue in which when two Households were on Vacation (or one of them were), the messages for Vacation Ending were ambiguous or incorrect.
- Fixed an issue for Consoles in which the Main Menu became unresponsive when disconnected from The Gallery.
- Fixed an issue in which if Simmers were offline and they clicked on The Gallery tab or their Profile tab resulted in their contents in My Library would disappear.
- We turned it off and on again.
- Made some updates to some of the icons for Off-The-Grid related Moodlets.
- Fixed an issue in which some floor textures were disappearing if Stilts were put over terrain tiles. Kinda groovy but we had to fix that.
- Create a Sim asset yfBody_EF18SportStriped_SolidBlueTurquoise has been fixed to avoid clipping with all types of shoes. In the same vein, we fixed a clipping issue when top yfTop_EP03JacketTie_SolidBlueDkBlue is paired with bottom yfBottom_EP02SkirtAsym_Blue (for those who own Get Together and City Living).
Get Together
- Corrected Residential Lot status of “The Summer Home” Lot in Winderburg. Against all previous evidence, it is actually NOT an Incomplete Lot.
Discover University
- Fixed an issue in which the game froze when moving to dorms in University of Britechester when giving control to another Sim.
- The University of Britechester and The Foxbury Institute have now associated some of their Degrees with Freelancer Maker and Civil Designer careers! See you next term Simmers!
Eco Lifestyle
- Fixed an issue in which the Fabrication sound effect continued playing even after Fabricator had completed its task. Had the Fabricator become sentient… self aware?
- Sims will now actually receive their inheritance after Marrying within the 7 days as instructed. Marry for love or Simoleons? <insert Telenovela Music>
Next on Pasión de Simoleones.
- -”Roberto Alejandro del Valle de la Mancha – I love you, I’m glad we are finally together after numerous Sim days and nights… even at Super Speed 3… it felt like an eternity not being able to tell you about my feelings…”
- -”Catalina Josefina Martínez Ochoa de la Trinidad, I loved you since you got that phone message saying you had an inheritance coming… my love will be with you always… or at least until my Motherlode cheat stops working and those Simoleons run out…” <looks away>
- -”Oh Roberto Alejandro… <dramatic embrace>
Don’t miss our next episode…
Somebody please stop Russkii.- Fixed an issue in which while playing in Low Medium Graphic Settings, doors and windows would not display in Pinecrest Apartments. Where did they go? What secrets have they unveiled?
- Corrected some terminology related to policies in the Bills and Utilities interface.
- Fixed an issue in which when zooming in Pinecrest Apartments, you could sometimes see a hole in the ground without textures. Nothing ominous, no… right?
Tiny Living
- The ‘All Included!’ Lamp With Storage is no more, it has become the ‘Not All Included!’ Lamp Without Storage as our text writer was deceived and the Lamp does not allow a deco slot. Shenanigans!
Still have a sim that does whatever it wants even though autonomy is turned off.
My pets keep disappearing. They vanish from the lot and their profile goes grey. Calling them back doesn’t work. I went into CAS and when I came back they were on the lot again but vanished within a couple minutes. Please fix! So many people are having this issue.
Same here!
Please ! I’m begging you to redesign console controls ! It’s plain horrible,sims 3 console controls were beautifully done and I expected the same from sims 4 but it’s unplayable.Sims bustin out had better console controls,I’m an avid simmer and I hate I can’t play the new one.
Please update the acting career glitch for Get Famous. It’s been broken for ages. My sim won’t to to their gigs when it comes time and there’s no option to send them. There should be a button in the career tab to tell them to go to work.
Can y’all plz fix the brown skin plz we don’t not have a gray under tone
Is there a process regarding the washing machines and drying machines? My simmers’ clothes never seem to dry anymore, or they do dry but my sims can’t put the finished laundry away. They can only put them down on the floor or in the laundry bin or in a machine (but the machines won’t start anyway because the laundry is clean and dry).
Fixed the random future cubes and lumps of clay issue yet?
Also the Sims randomly going to make destressing concoctions at the grill?
Hopefully my stuff will stop disappering !!!
My plants are not evolving correctly now, nor am I getting credit for them
9y you please add sims 4 on mobile device we cant all afford Pc and other counsels
what about the glitch where my eco footprint bar is fully green (or industrial) and it still says neutral?……….
How about the money trash can?
So… still no access to the eco living apartment patios?
In discover university, my sims fail classes for what seems like no real reason – even if I submit perfect papers/presentations, do all hw, always go to class, and study.
Why not just add a slot to the lamp?
and yet still no patch to stop that dumb celebrity walk, hooray for Mods.
You can just turn it off
When will cars be available!!! This is such a need!!!
No there is not. The game doesn’t even have that many accessible roads, let alone an open world. Why would we need cars?
I’m not sure if this is fixed yet, but the bug in get to work where all my sims get sick CONSTANTLY! It’s so annoying and tbh the patterns on the skin makes me really anxious and disturbed I have to look away to not throw up. Idk if this happens to other simmers and I’m not trying to be dramatic lol but it’s actually disgusting.
The time showing on the clock and the time in-game are never in sync! Anyone else have this problem?
I decided to give one of my Sims a birthday party. He’s got a lot of friends/acquaintances. However, the only Sims that showed on the Guest selection panel were those actually on the lot at the time of arranging the party – which excluded all but one friend AND one member of the household (on the way back from work). I don’t remember this ‘feature’ on previous attempts to arrange a social event ‘at home’ – anyone know what’s happened?
P.S. My game runs on a PC/Windows 10 – no custom content that I know of – all available packs installed but not played often this year owing to pressures of real life.
After I updated my game it wouldn’t let me have the base game only the expansion worlds. Is anyone else having that problem?
I have the same problem I have tried everything
Same
Same here
They still haven’t fixed the NAP bugs like the thieving Sims coming in and taking everything and the mass hordes of white cakes. I really thought this update would help fix the problems 🙁
I just noticed that yesterday when there were half a dozen cutting boards peppered across my house. My Sim’s roommate made two cakes? And then just kept going into the fridge and getting the ingredient just to stop and repeat.
Anyone else notice since this update their Sims (and all NPCs) have begun stealing the most insane items? Dissapearing counters and once a whole restuarants worth of stuff was nicked by all the NPCs! Its insane. I’ve been trying to fix it for a couple of days now with no avail.
Anyone have any ideas that aren’t do the repair tool, uninstall and reinstall packs etc? I’ve tried those but no luck and this is bugging me. I miss playing already.
Yeah it’s crazy! I have the same problems with my sims, plus they keeps stuck with no following any actions I have them. I had tried everything to fix but still no change. I’m so sad unable to play at all.
I’ve had similar issues. I know this may be time consuming, but
inactivating Echo in the game didn’t work for me…. I would still have some of the actions being displayed by various NPCs.
What I have done is gone into every world ( ie: I rotate households regardless) and have the Sims repeal the annoying NAPs that are active. You’ll have to check the mailboxes/ boards in different areas of the worlds and play a Sim to repeal in each section. Once those actions have been repealed, the problem seems to be resolved. You’ll have to wait until the end of the voting period to see a change. Don’t have guest at your house or go to establishments until the issues have resolved. Also, you’ll have to repeal during different voting periods for more than one NAP you don’t like.
Keep in mind this is EVEN with ECHO LIFESTYLE turned OFF.
THEY SHOULD REMOVE:
1. CARING IS FOR SHARING (Sims begin STEALING)
2. FREE LOVE (Sims are carefree and your most loyal Sims may now cheat on their spouses!)
3. Some cooking NAP…drives me crazy…. Sims start baking cake and making potions on the grill…wasting ingredients etc. They’ll start, won’t finish and leave ingredients everywhere!
Who thought of this nonsense, anyway?
I’ve been using sims for a roughly a week now and it updated on July 8th 2020 and now it won’t launch, the play button on Origin is unable to be clicked. Any reason why?
my freerealestate.on cheat isnt working and im panic.
it’s freerealestate on, no period.
What about my pets going missing? Or null randomly and constantly. And sometimes they get sick literally hours (in sim time) after they’ve been treated at the vets.
This keeps happening to me too!
Hey, I just realized they replaced the animation for “Getting meat from the vertical meat wall” and they didn’t even mention it in the patch notes? My Sims just grab the meat with their bare hands which seems a kinda unsanitary and barbaric…
There’s also a few other issues I found, the plants (specifically basil and parsley) bug out after being harvested and turn into this weird blob-like thing. I set the plant state back to “planted”, but then it just goes back to it the next day. It also prevents it from sprouting and making the plant.
I also have this bug where my sim gets rewards from his/her job and it goes to not only their household, but all my sims households in my loads.
after the july 8th update I can’t even play anymore. The sims keeps stuck without following any actions. And for sime weird reason the sims steal stuff from the venues. I tried Uninstalling the game and reinstaled all the expansions packs again and still have the same issues. It is impossible to play like this. I hope they fix it quick or I want a refund of all the money I invested on the game over the years.
oh same ive spent hundreds and can barely play anymore bc of all the bugs. bought pets it doesnt even function bc the pets immediately go null and not actually lost or ran away, just null.
i cant creat a new game because when i go to cas nothing appears :((
When is the next sale for console
Has that one triangle window in Eco lifestyle been fixed yet? I really wanna use it in one of my builds but that visible gap is kinda hard to ignore.
I can’t update my game
Really hope they fix the cats and dogs going to null soon, it’s getting very annoying
since the recent update. my Sims 4 is not working properly at all. My sims from a previous save is no longer visible. I have cleared cache and deleted mods etc to no avail. Even if i go into create a sim mode, the sim can be heard but not seen.
Can anyone help please?
Every time I try to launch Sims 4 Origin pops up and says there is an update. I click update and it just shuts down. I have restarted my computer I have tried multiple things but it is refusing to download the update and just crashes.
Very Frustrating
I had this issue, I opened origin instead of trying to play the game and it worked after that.
Same here. No idea what to do.
That may actually be a blessing in disguise, because after I updated MY game it totally ruined it. Can’t even create a sim or see my saved sims on their lots when I go to them.
Like Alison said I just opened origin itself and let it do it’s thing, then it worked fine
I also have a problem where I can’t make a sim not be the daughter/son of another sim
Add to the comment: I’ve had this problem for days
This latest update has ruined my game. When I try to create a sim it won’t even allow me to click on them. The pointer changes to what looks like a plus sign and I can’t do anything. Then when I go to one of my lots, my sims are either invisible OR there are big bright fluorescent colored squares on my floors where the rugs would be that have question marks on them. At first I thought maybe it was my mods so I took them out and reloaded the game but it’s STILL doing the SAME things. So it isn’t my mods. Wtf happened and how soon will this issue be fixed?
