When is the next The Sims 4 Update?

For Rent is the final release from the most recent roadmap for The Sims 4. It is also the final of three expansion packs for 2023! Pre-pack release patches tend to be slightly larger in size as they bring not only bug fixes but it can also deliver new Base Game features in internal coding that prepares the game ready for the expansion pack.

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.

This is the first release since The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack, this is going to be the pre-expansion update but will also include a number of bug fixes too. We will likely see this next Sims 4 Update on Tuesday, December 5th, 2023.
