The Sims Team has released a new statement about an upcoming Sims 4 Hotfix Update, set to release across Computers and Consoles on August 6th, 2026.
The Patch should address three key game issues currently reported, including a memory crash that could occur when travelling, a bug resolve for manual saves and fixed countdowns for school and careers.
The team states that a minimal impact will be made on Mods and CC.
Read the full statement below:
Sul Sul, Simmers,
We have a patch scheduled for tomorrow, August 6. This patch includes a few key fixes to improve your gameplay experience:
Resolves a memory crash that could occur when traveling.
Addresses a bug that could cause manual saves to overwrite the wrong save slot.
Fixes an issue with stuck countdowns for school and careers.
Mod & Custom Content Information This update is expected to have a minimal impact on mods. However, as a best practice for any game update, we always recommend you back up your saves and manage your mods/CC carefully.
We'll keep you posted right here on Sims Community as soon as the upcoming Sims 4 hotfix update releases across supported platforms. Stay tuned!

Question Everytime I go on the sims 4 it says can’t save data from the Sims 4 on Xbox does it mean my files are gone what can I do

What about the hot tub bug? I’m still trying to figure that one out where your sims won’t do any interactions in the hot tub–they just queue up and go nowhere

When is the marriage bug going to be fixed? Everytime I load a game, my sims are no longer married. I’ve had 4 elopements with the same couple so far

What about infant milestones? My infants have gone from being very smart to not even be able to crawl by their birthdays!

Does this mean the builds that disappeared will come back?

?? Do you mean builds that either revert to their original state of either being the original ea build or empty lot? If so that’s more of a corruption save issue. Memory boost should in some cases help with that. At least in my experience it has.

brother ive been playing all week no problem now since yesterday, i cant load into a lot on any save i have it just crashes. no mods base game, like this is BAD. Not a single save , multiple saves over the course of time. It keeps throwing a renters business exception
Sabrina
Did you guys fix the issue where if you complete a collection it will stop forgetting it is complete. Also weddings! When will you ever fix this?

I’m still waiting for them to fix the Life & Death pack feature that they broke. They broke Rebirth a couple patches back and it’s ridiculous that a feature of an expansion pack has to be upvoted on the forums in order to get the attention necessary to be fixed.

I have been playing the game this week before the update and now after updating the game yesterday its slow I can’t play its also affecting other apps on my pc. What is going on?
i hate you ea
nice “update” making my game freeze and crash constantly. I can’t get anything done and no, I don’t use mods so it’s strictly a base game issue.
Jen

Jemma

Rosi
