The Sims 4 Laundry List: October 2023

Hi Simmers!

Welcome to the Laundry List where we’ll share a list of the top community concerns that we’re currently investigating and hope to have resolved in the upcoming patch. This is just a top list, there are more topics that we saw reported by players that are not listed and being worked on.

These concerns were reported by players who help us continue our work of improving the user experience on a regular basis.

Please note that some topics can be tricky and require an extended investigation on our end, so even though we are actively reviewing, it’s not a guarantee that we’ll have an immediate fix for it in the upcoming patch.

Here’s the list of the top community concerns we’re investigating for the game update next month:

Mortimer has hidden cloned skin detail

Yamachan bursting into homes

Wrong names and CAS Corruption after gaining a 4th trait

Sims place dishes in another room normally on coffee table

Rabbit gifted debug item Cow Flower

Tense moodlets from Thalassophobia when not near

Sim starts painting and then plays basketball instead

Sims can’t ride together

Thanks for all your patience and valuable help! Please continue sharing with us about any issues you’re experiencing on Answers HQ. We’ll continue to check in, and together we can make this game the best that it can be. Happy Simming!

It does look like Elanor might be calling our Sims just a little longer but at least Yamachan will hopefully stop making surprise unannounced appearances in future!

When is the next The Sims 4 Update?

With the recent return of Stuff Packs with The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle, this is the first patch that the community has received since its release. We also know that there is a new expansion pack due sometime between now and December as stated in the Roadmap. The Sims Team has been relatively quiet since the Stuff Packs release and there is currently no news about the expansion pack and what it could be about. Hopefully we, as a community will hear some news from The Sims Team soon!

Based upon the previous The Sims 4 Laundry Lists, we should expect to see the next The Sims 4 Base Game update in the near future. The last few Laundry Lists have seen game updates released around seven days after publication. However, this is based on the release windows we’ve seen in the past, and this may vary for this next patch.

While there is currently no planned release for October or November, this is more than likely going to be just a bug-fix patch. We will likely see this next Sims 4 Update on Tuesday, October 31st, 2023.
