EA drops a new Patch for The Sims 4!
In a surprising turn of events, in the middle of a big Expansion Pack reveal, Electronic Arts has dropped a new Sims 4 Update across PC, Mac and Console supported platforms.
The latest Patch for the game resolves an issue with the newer Pack Disabler feature, where the button would appear greyed out for some players. If you have Mods / CC installed you shouldn’t worry about updating again.
This update was targeted to a specific issue that did not require us to update the current TDESC version, so it should not have any impact on mods.

Base Game
- [EA Forums] Resolved an issue where the “Confirm” button remained disabled for far too long after players disabled packs from the pack selection screen.
- NOTE: The actual time delay is largely specific to the specs of your machine, though some delay on the Confirm button is necessary to ensure that all selected packs are fully loaded before players can confirm any changes. This delay ensures packs load correctly, which provides a smoother and safer experience for players when managing their pack selections.
The update is around 500MB on Windows PC and Mac.
