Sul sul, Sims Delivery Express, or SDX for short, will be able to make Sims Deliveries without needing a full game update. But what does this mean? What kind of things are a Sims Delivery? Well, let me tell you: A Sims Delivery can be a Create A Sim or a Build Mode asset. A Sims Delivery can be small pockets of gameplay that don’t require a Base Game update to be accessible by you all. A Sims Delivery can also be tiny, little fixes that don’t need a Base Game update to release. A Sims Delivery is always Free. If you have any questions / comments / concerns about SDX please post them in this thread so we can best address them 🙂

Hi @IrisuChan, Great question! This is a fairly new concept and at the moment there is no "new" indicator on items added to the base game, this is something the Sims team are exploring options with at the moment to find ways to make it more clear what items are added in these drops. Best advice is to keep an eye on the News page here as well as on the Sims 4 Main Menu messaging for the most up to date info.You can also follow our socials on Twitter and Instagram for updates that may be posted there. 🙂

@lunitina2408 I don't think that's necessary. It's possible that a mod is blocking it from working though so first step if you do have issues is to remove your mods. (I think TOOL and other mods by TwistedMexi have in the past)The chances that a mod stops working because of the SDX is very small. This is just like when we get small patches that don't disable the mods. If something isn't working as intended, test without but until then, it's fine to just leave them in.Backups are always a good idea though.

Thank you for SDX! I wonder if items added into the game will be indicated as "new"? Such as when you buy a new pack and the items are marked yellow in the build mode? And same for CAS items?And if it's gameplay related, will there be a message online about the details? If so where exactly to find it, so we can look out for future updates. Thanks in advance!

@EA_Cade Hello! Thank you very much, this is really helpful! 🙂

Can you answer this question: Why did you choose the name "Sims Delivery Express" when it at first glance indicates to most people new gameplay revolving around babies?

Sims Delivery Express, what is it?

It was said that the first SDX was going to be a hairstyle, which one is the new one? Is it an adult hair? Kids hair? Toddler hair?

@LeissaMyst I would have to argue that to most people the word pair "delivery express" associates to delivery in the logistical sense. At first glance it would indicate something that delivers stuff fast.

I really hope I am not necroing this since the last post was a month ago. My question is "Would it be suggested to remove the mods folder while SDX is making an installation and/or restarting the game?" I have read a few topics and pages of threads about this. However, I have not been able to reveal the general consensus about what is recommended. Also, I really, really loved the idea of Sims Delivery so thanks for creating it.
