Hello,

Before the 29th June patch, I was doing the tutorial (I just bought the game on steam). I saved my game and quit. At the next start, I had to download the new 29th june update.

And after installed this update, it seems the tutorial is no longer available at all. I tried to load my saved game, it works but the tutorial is no longer present.

I try to start a new game, no tutorial proposal.
I uninstalled/installed the game and still no tutorial proposal.

I took a look in option, but it seems the option to restart the tutorial is no longer present.

Please EA, fix this, I'm a new player and don't know how to play ! I can see tuto on youtube, but an interactive tutorial in game is more usefule.

Thanks

    Hey all, 

    The Sims 4 tutorial was intentionally removed, and players can expect new and exciting introductions to our game that we’re working through now.

    @estellabuns , the tutorial was removed because it was broken. It was very easy to get stuck in it, not allowing you to finish the tutorial . 

    @Nakashimafied , the tutorial only existed for a short time ... the Sims 4 existed for several years before there even was that tutorial that they have since removed! 🤨  However, the game has always had in-game lessons.  See the paragraph below for how to access it! 🔽

    @1suyvsvwc6vh , according to the post from yesterday by @EA_Cade on the last page of this thread, EA is working on some sort of replacement for the tutorial.  Meanwhile, there are Lessons in the game .  Go to the Options Menu (upper right , icon with the 3 dots) and then the box choose the button that is the 5th one down called Lessons. 

    I know this isn't quite what you're are looking for, but it might do in a pinch! 😉  The only other thing I can think of are some YouTube tutorials (such as Carl's Sims 4 Guide , who has a How to Play video tutorial from 2019 If You're a Sims 4 Beginner, Watch This - YouTube ).  There might be some other YouTube tutorials around, but since you said it was for your kids, you might want to watch them first to make sure they are something you wouldn't mind your children watching. 
    Best of luck! 😇
