Maxis drops an official bug fixes list coming to The Sims 4!
The latest Sims 4 Laundry List is finally here! EA and Maxis have released an official list of bugs and issues you should be expecting to get fixed with the next Sims 4 Base Game Update. Including fixes for Base Game and DLC content!

It appears that the issue with Sims 4 Residental Rentals is not getting fixed yet though. However, players should still expect a bigger Sims 4 Update release in the coming days thanks to the release of Businesses & Hobbies.
Take a look at what’s coming below:
The Sims 4 Laundry List

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.
The list below is part of our effort to tackle technical issues, and is directly influenced by the amount of community reports through AnswersHQ and The Sims 4 EA Forums. We have now fully moved all bug reporting to the EA Forums, so please continue to upvote or submit any issues you are experiencing to help us populate future laundry lists!
While some issues may not be listed here, they may still be in the process of being addressed. Some topics can require an extended investigation on our end, so even though these fixes may be in active review, it’s not a guarantee that we’ll have an immediate fix for it in the upcoming patch.
As with each new patch, please remember to remove any external game mods and custom content if you are experiencing issues as the first step in troubleshooting, as they may conflict with the updates. Happy Simming, vadish!

this feels like crumbs when “For Rent” is currently breaking the game
It’s not For Rent breaking the game, the problem existed before it. For Rent just made the issue more visible for more people. And I would like to remind everybody that instead of fixing this huge bug they just removed visual indication of the bug in the game and now you can’t even check if your save is corrupted. F them!
so its still going to be raining inside my sims house
I’m so sad that’s not on the list, it’s ruining gameplay
Are they going to fix the missing clutter? The base game spice rack and several other items have been missing for weeks now. There’s even an ea form about the issue.
Right. The ghost in the jar from the life and death pack is missing too. I know more items are still
“‘Grim Reaper arrival for the Chickens‘ Notification is no longer triggered when ‘Animal Aging’ is disabled.” doesn’t sound like they fixed animals still aging even though Animal Aging is disabled. It’s not just chickens.“‘Grim Reaper arrival for the Chickens
I just want it to stop raining and snowing in my houses please!..
They have no plans of fixing children of Grim that become DISTORTED after becoming a teenager. Their faces shrink and each time you fix it, they become distorted OVER and OVER again.
To be fair it took months before they fixed the frame issue listed. So not surprised.
still no fix for the sims wearing their underwear while nude
Rain and snow needs ta go! PLEASE AND THANK YOU.
