The “New Year, New Fixes” Update

Maxis and EA have released a brand new update for The Sims 4 across PC, Mac, Xbox and Playstation Consoles.

You can download the latest version of The Sims 4 by checking for updates through the EA App / Origin. If you have Automatic Updates enabled the update will automatically download through your client program.

If you play The Sims 4 on Xbox and PS4 / PS5 you can request a new update by checking for updates under The Sims 4 game tag.

In case you have Mods or Custom Content, the game will automatically disable them for you after first launching The Sims 4 after the update. To re-enable all your Mods and Custom Content, select the Settings option in the Menu and select Settings. Under the ”Other” section you’ll find the ”Enable Custom Content and Mods” option. Check it and restart your game in order for it to take effect!

  • Toddlers were all looking a little too similar to each other. Now, they’ll reflect their parents and account for genetics.
  • Sims will no longer break the space-time continuum by moving when the game is paused.
  • The Mint Green Belted Cardigan (yfTop_CardiganBelted_SolidGreenMintBlack) no longer makes your Sim look like human spaghetti.
  • The Open Blazer (yfTop_BlazerOpenCollarTucked) now covers your Sim’s midriff properly.
  • A Juice Party will now count towards Throw 3 parties in the Party Aspiration.

  • Fixed a crash that could happen when entering Live Mode.
  • The Promise to Help interaction will now trigger in the appropriate situations.
  • It’s now possible to enable the free build cheat (bb.enablefreebuild) while in the Making Money Scenario. This cheat doesn’t even disable Achievements/Trophies on consoles either.

Consoles

  • Adjusting the UI Scale from Game Options > Accessibility while in Create a Sim (CAS) should be more responsive so you can see your adjustments without waiting.
  • The Show: All Households list in the Manage Households menu can be scrolled meaning you can now see all Households as well.

Bust The Dust

Get To Work

  • When your Sim grows up; Alien nose, chin, and eye width will carry over.
  • A respectful introduction will now fulfill the Greet Co-workers/Patients task as a part of the Doctor Career.

Seasons

  • Sims won’t freeze to death in the Summer when interacting with sprinklers. Someone must’ve forgotten to turn the air conditioner off… we’ll be sure to hand out blankets next time!
  • Sims are now able to properly schedule holidays when they have a teen in the house. Scheduling family trips is already hard enough!

Snowy Escape

  • Work Withdrawals are now removed when working during their off hours.

My Wedding Stories

  • Your Sims will no longer talk about planning their wedding ceremony after they are married.

Werewolves

  • Werewolves are now able to change their fur in CAS mode. Furtastic!
