The Sims 4 Quality of Life May Update is on the way!

On May 6, 2026 at 7:00 PM, our dev team will be live on Twitch to walk you through what’s coming, including Infant Improvements, new Base Layers, Backup Save options, and over 150 bug fixes. Since we’ll be spending some time with our littlest Sims during the stream…we need your help!

Share your best (cute, dramatic, legacy‑worthy!) baby name ideas in ⁠#sims-posting, you might see one pop up on stream.

Are we possibly getting both the update and the livestream on the same day…or just the livestream? Maybe it’s just our wishful thinking. Discover where you can tune in for the livestream and when it begins in your area down below:
