The new Sims 4 Update has arrived, bringing The Marketplace and Game Improvements!
Electronic Arts has just released a new The Sims 4 Update exclusively on PC and Mac platforms. The Sims Team confirmed that this is due to The Marketplace having a different date set “for the next few months” for Xbox and Playstation players. During this time players are expected to encounter a version mismatch when using The Gallery feature, as confirmed in the latest Sims 4 Laundry List detailing the next game improvements included in this Game Update.
Please note; this Base Game update will launch on PC and Mac on March 17th, with PlayStation and Xbox coming later. During this time, console players may experience a temporary version mismatch when using the Gallery.
Although not officially confirmed by EA / Maxis, the latest Sims Insider report claims that this happened due to Sony putting a pause on new feature releases until The Sims 4 game stability improves.
Sims Insider: Doesn’t shock me at all. EA wanted to rush this out in time for the acquisition. Ironically, they’ve had to delay it on console because of an investigation by Sony about the stability of the game and that was the platform they were mostly targeting with this storefront.
Moving onto official information, you should now expect to purchase all The Sims 4 Kits, including Maxis-Made and Creator Kits within The Marketplace user experience. This DLC type can now only be bought using Moola virtual currency. Purchasing Kits is now done exclusively in-game rather than using official store platforms.
Here is the Moola coin price structure. You should be able to purchase Moola coins through in-game or using game launchers and official store platforms. Including Amazon too!

The Sims 4 Mods & CC Being Disabled
Several players are currently reporting that The Sims 4 disabled their Mods & CC. Even after enabling them in the game settings, the pre-installed Mods and Custom Content still doesn’t show up in the game.
None of my CC or mods besides script mods load into the game after the update…?? I’m going crazy here, am I the only one with this issue???
The Sims 4 Country Kitchen Kit has been marked as a “Free” official Kit for claiming through the Marketplace.
The Sims 4 Kit Sales
The new Sims 4 Marketplace allows for Kits to seemingly have their own occassional sales. The Sims 4 Golden Years Kit is currently available for 20% off…a whole dollar!
Manage Storage Menu
There’s an internal memory storage for The Sims 4 marketplace content. Including Maker Sets and items!
In-Game Downloading of Sims 4 Kits

So what I gather is, pick up the free kit if you don’t have it and just ignore the marketplace

Have they bothered to fix the game breaking Noble Residence lot trait bug or are they too excited to extort their player base with micro transactions? I don’t even have the trait on any lots anymore and my sims still get stuck in infinite confetti animation loops.

Non-script mods aren’t working! Funny that this happens when the Marketplace launches. What a coincidence. How convenient is that?
