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.
Yeah, I only get updates once a month, twice max, and SDX drops aren't that frequent. I think that probably you have a whole bunch queued up--they're not cumulative, you have to install each one individually--and eventually they'll calm down and stop.
I've mentioned mine to EA on the Consoles thread. I'm going to start recording all of them to test if there's a problem. I do know it was twice on Monday 13th. I couldn't play from the HSY patch until January because it just crashed so it maaay have caused an issue 🤔... possibly. I've been playing daily since then and it has been a very regular thing getting these messages. Plus another player mentioned they get them if they do a Quick Resume, so maybe that's a factor. I don't know.
It's something I'm going to keep an eye on.
