If you're getting daily updates - are you sure the update installed properly? Maybe it's the same one over and over getting stuck...
I usually get only one or two a month. And if two, one will be small. While I do generally spend a day or two testing after each update, usually I can just put my mods back in and keep going. Updates big enough to break all my mods are generally only a few times each year.
For this past week I've had SDX notifications daily and on Monday I had one when I opened up my game and then another one mid game that stopped me playing and told me to restart. I'm on Xbox Series S. It's never interrupted my game before so I think it's possibly a technical glitch with SDX. I was just about to ask around on here to see if it was a problem or if it's all working as intended.
I hoped at first it might be adjustments to the console controls that we'd asked for and that maybe they were just fixing it in the background. I'm going to adjust my settings as it is currently set on checking for SDX hourly. So I'm altering that if it's going to start interrupting my game.
@ImDepressedOk are you on console or PC? Is this the same thing you are getting?
I wish we got comprehensive SDX info on here, like the informative patch notes so that we know what each one is for and so that we know if we are supposed to be getting them or if it's just having trouble installing them.
@simsplayer818 @ImDepressedOk I actually don’t remember any SDX drops at all this year? There was one at the beginning of December with the mean Sims fix and I think some CAS with logos for other games.
No, I’m on PC / Laptop.
I don’t play it as often anymore, maybe thats why I get bulk updates every time I play?? Or maybe because I put it on the external hdd, when my laptop loads the EA launcher automatically opens and it recognise the game as uninstalled?? so when I restarted it by plugging it in and let the launcher reloads, it re-verify the files.
Whatever it is, my issues is that its just has frequent updates and I barely see any fix or changes. Maybe I just don’t pay enough attention to other details or I just don’t counter the bugs they are fixing meanwhile the ones I do have its just not fixed yet.
Today at least I noticed they patch the interactions panel (which I don’t understand why they don’t do it in the first place), they put it in sub - category like Talk > Jokes > Jokes About Fashion or Talk > Jokes > Silly Things > Give Silly Gifts (I can’t really recall it but I think thats how it goes), which is very neat and easier for me to navigate. Usually the interactions is just all over the place.
@PipMenace thanks for the info that's both interesting and concerning to me. The message I get says, to paraphrase that new content has been installed but that it won't be available until the game is restarted. If I don't restart and try to play my game it doesn't work properly and is really glitchy with sound issues and slow, flickering graphics. It happens a lot and with more regularity recently.
Unless it's working as it should but is only specific to players on my particular console. I'm going to ask about it on the thread for console feedback and see if it's linked to our ongoing technical problems.
