New Hotfix Patch has been released for The Sims 4 across Computers and Consoles.

The Sims Team announced late last week that they’ll be releasing a new Sims 4 Update to fix some priority issues and bugs, including CAS, eye dropper tool and controller scrolling issues. The patch shouldn’t be a big one like last week’s, considering it’s just a hotfix release for Computers and Consoles.

Find out what’s been improved in the patch notes release below:

Base Game Update

• [EA Forums] Opening clothing categories in Create a Sim wasn’t jumping to the clothing currently being worn by your Sim, this has been addressed, making it easier to get that perfect look by knowing which pack a clothing item came from.
• [EA Forums] Using the eyedropper tool in Build Mode will take you to the Build catalog listing for that item.
• [EA Forums] During Gallery uploads, players could encounter a timeout error. This has been addressed and should no longer occur.

Console

• [EA Forums] Controller using Simmers reported that scrolling within Create a Sim was failing when entering different categories. The scrolling behavior has been addressed and you should be able to navigate properly once more.
