August Patch Speculation Thread 2024 (Large Emergency Patch Out Now)
I forsee possibly a big update coming in August that will add something new to the base game since August is the last month in the roadmap.
Forum Discussion
Two big patches in a row? I have the impression that there are usually a few months between big patches so I don't expect anything major. Remember the last patch gave us the jealousy options, eyelashes, a copy button in CAS, round pools and new hairs. That feels like a big update. I could see some new items (cas or bb) coming to the game. I think ironing out the bugs from the previous patch is more important now.
They are fixing issues. Right?
Right.
As for the next patch, I just want ALL the major game breaking bugs fixed.
I don’t think there’ll be anything very much in the August patch. I think we’ ve now had everything on the roadmap, and we did just have a huge July patch which added quite a few new base game features. Also, it’s August, meaning lots of people are away on their holidays. It’s always a pretty quiet month in my part of the world, at least. I don’t think there’ll be anything much now until September, when we should get the next roadmap.
I completely agree with Simmingal.
First order of business, should be to fix the God Awefull mess they made of the last patching round.
I haven't even bothered trying to update yet, due to all the bad reports of yet another failed mess of an update.
Have to see the july patch broke many mods if august patch is big i will wait to update this time.
July + LS broke so many big things that uh I just wish they get all that fixed first tbh
can't really play before its safe to load my main save so 😬 and I don't even use mods or cc
I feel like you Simmingal. My main save goes all the way back to 2014, of course has grown a lot since then, but with these broken lots and things., I’m afraid to play it. I don’t use mods or CC either, but had some issues with my last build save downloading rentals and getting a white world. Now with these broken lots with events it doesn’t make it much with playing. But, I think I will get the Lovestruck expansion and update my sims with romance options. And, pray that they fix all of these lot issues.
Ooh it has to be something! It has to be! 💚💛❤️🦁🎸🎵
I am ready to not get anymore updates at this point. Most of the time they don't work at first and require a second round, and we have to spend a lot of time updating our mods folders and stuff. I'm starting to feel bad for the modders bc a part of me (the conspiracy theorist part) thinks the sims is pushing patches and updates to make it harder for the modders to keep up 😂😂😂 but that's just me over-thinking.
i don't think they'd ever do something like that tbh. biggest reason being how easy they made it to download and install mods in ts4. They know a majority of the sims 4 community is playing with mods, and a majority of modded players wouldn't play without their mods.
After the update yesterday my CAS crashes when trying to get into and the screens still take a long time to load. This is frustrating!
Well, the patch seemed to go well.
No major crashes or problems in about 4 hours game play.
All older mods or at least CC are still working. All major important mods like MCCC have been updated and are working fine.
I am getting something odd with the UI, the icons for phone and holidays seems to be mixed and combined somehow, but it still works so I can live with that.
Thanks to those who fixed the bugs, keep up the good work.
Would you believe it?
I updated, played the game for a while, slept the night soundly.
Woke to play again this morning. I now have the damnable Cas stuck on loading bug.
Added my two cents worth in the bug thread about it.
I think I'll go play with the trucks out on the highway for a while.😫
