In honour of Hispanic Heritage Month in the US, The Sims Team has released an update adding a variety of Hispanic-inspired Build/Buy objects, CAS additions, and new food recipes.
Build/Buy
A total of six new Build/Buy items have been added to the base game, pictured above. Each item comes with a variety of colourful swatches.
- 1 dining table
- 1 dining chair
- 1 decorative pot
- 1 grill
- 1 wall mural designed for the shortest wall height
- 1 outdoor pergola
CAS Additions
There is one new feminine top and one unisex top for adults. Both tops come with a large variety of different designs and patterns. The designs were created by Chicano artist, Mister Cartoon, in his distinctive artistic style.
Mister Cartoon also designed one new unisex top for children in the same colourful patterns and styles as the adults.
Since Mister Cartoon is a tattoo artist, it only made sense to add a new tattoo designed by him to the game as well. The tattoo features an edgy Freezer Bunny design and is enabled for both masculine and feminine Sims in CAS.
NOTE: While not new additions to the game, some existing assets have been updated to be more inclusive. All existing skin tones in the game are now uncompressed by default for a smoother appearance, and two base game African hairstyles have been retextured. The Sims Team says this is just the start of their efforts to further embrace diversity and improve on representation.
New Recipes
In addition to the new objects and CAS items, a total of seven new recipes have been added to the game, inspired by various Latin cuisine from around the world. All the new recipes can be cooked on the new grill that comes with this update (or any grill, for that matter).
- Choripán
- Elote
- Chimi
- Chicken Chimichurri Skewers
- Asado
- Pollo a la Brasa
- Pinchos

Numerous bug fixes were also included in this update. For a full rundown of all the bug fixes, check out the official patch notes here.
I always love getting new recipes. It’s one of my favorite thing about Sims games. I don’t know why. So, that’s probably what I am most excited about. I do wish they had thrown in a new hairstyle or 2 though.
I like the new recipes because in the game there’s not much grill foods but I play on console so I have to wait to see the new updates
It’s actually on there today, it’s just kinda glitchy. It doesn’t work with my old save.
I personally just want cars my sims can be naked and homeless if they would just add cars
Just downloaded the update but nothing changed..no table or anything else appeared:(
Usually I have to reload the game again after updating because sometimes it “doesn’t take?” And make sure you’re online still when you reload the game. That’s worked for me. I don’t know if they changed the splash image (it updates with each dlc) when you load the game up to show new content. Worse comes to worse try repairing the game.
I’m having the same issue. I reloaded, even repaired my game today and nothing.
Love the new items added and those that are fixed. I’ve also been thinking a lot about some other items that should be added to the game, it would be pretty cool to be more diverse and explore those with disabilities as well, you know because not everyone is the same we are all different. And for baby items (strollers) it would be nice to take infants and toddlers on walks with the parents. And also idk if this other idea would work but ASL communication too! I just think that would be interesting to work with 🙂
I highly agree with you. They’re constantly trying to make the Sims more and more realistic and the ideas you have are so on point to making it more realistic.
The update froze my game. I played for the 3hrs then…just…
When is it available in Eurpoe?
I love the objects we got because the colours and patterns, especially the ones with flowers, are really cute and I can see myself using them in certain builds but I’m a little disappointed that they don’t have some normal wood tones like yay they have black and wight but still myself and other simers don’t just use those two colours.
did they add/change something with skin tones?
Yeah they’re revamping skin tones so it broke custom skins and skin details. It’s a work in progress before they add in the additional skin tones.
I have some problem with the new update, i pick my mods on and when i re-opened the game the option isn’t on
This update isn’t that much to be excited about when you consider the amount of content that CC creators churn out. Why is this even worthy of a write up?
I just want a patch to fix what the last patch destroyed- all my CC Windows quit working!!!
they should honestly just add the new swatches to the already existing shit they’re recycling but that’s none of my business i guess.
I was not impressed with this last update
Hey, maybe anyone can help me out? So i downloaded the patch, i don’t use CC, but all the skins and textures just white and red and huge questionmark, and that all. I can’t use cas, also my other sims are look like this too. I don’t know what to do, and i don’t want to waiting till december for the new patch. 🙁
Same. Are some of the trait images just weird llama things for you too?
Yes! The cats&dogs pack and some trait’s image shown as a grey lama. Im kinda mad cuz i just bought the vampire game pack, and i cant even try it.
I have the same problem
Question, before the patch update I was having Issues with my bills being only $1.00, I thought this was repaired with the new update, but I noticed it hasn’t. My bills are still $1.00 but I noticed my tax bill is over $600k
Hey,
So I got the update the day it came out automatically. Since then my custom content refuses to show up despite going through the right process. Every time that I’ve enabled the mods option on my game, I save it and then re-start the game as it says to do. After going in to check it says that I haven’t done this even though I have?? In an attempt to fix this I’ve deleted and re-installed all of my mods. Nothing has happened with that. It sounds silly as I can still play the game but I’m getting really frustrated at not having my CC in-game and my Sims looking completely different. 🙁
I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem and if so how did you solve it?
I have been having the same issue, and I’m searching desperately for a way to fix it. I wish I could be of any assistance but I’m just as confused.
we need more!!! like lower prices!!!!!
This update literally broke my game. It’s not cc or mods, it’s the update. I’ve tried repairing and my CPU got up to 98% before it failed. I don’t know what to do at this point. I’m so sick of having to rely on outside creators to help fix my game every time the sims team makes an update. It’s ridiculous at this point. I’ve been playing sims since 2008
I wonder when they are going to fix that I bought vampires, and it’s installed on my game, but nothing will come up in my game menus:(
This patch broke my sim being stuck at work and only fruit seeds you can order are apples and grapes
I wanted a fix for the freaking CC windows and doors issue! The Heritage thing is not bad, but this patch still doesn’t address what for me is the most annoying thing with the last update.
The sims 4 need to make sims with disability and wheelchair, we need car and vans
