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.

  • No, please no. I am having anxiety just thinking about it. Just hope i can enjoy playing for at least a few more days. Next winter im going vanilla. I so regret putting mods !

      While I don't regret adding mods to my game, I fully understand having to wait for the mods to be updated, and/or play without them. Vanilla is not going to do it for me, however. Get Famous left out a singer career, so I must have a mod for that. Unfortunately, I had to pull a couple of small mods in order to get my game to play after the patch. My Child Sim can no longer play his guitar, as planned. Luckily, he's almost to skill level 9, so he won't have that much to go to master this instrument.😲

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i am not updatng... im sorry i dont trust it, ima play something else !!!!!!!!!! 

  • Oh maaan, I had no idea a patch was due and I just went to play my game and it is updating... nooooooo!!!!!!! After the last time, I really did not want to update. Where are the patch notes? Never mind, I found them: Update 8/8/2024

      yeah last time i got caught like that, couldnt play for a week after... 😮

  • This was a small patch and didn't even disable mods. I do think some custom eyelashes may be doing strange things after this patch. I was pleased that my game seemed smoother and less jumpy. I wasn't experiencing any of the bad bugs however.

    Next time you log to the EA app, hunt through the settings and disable auto updates, to both the EA app and the games you have. That will save a lot of heartache caused by the bad code.

    As for this update, I have been waiting and hoping to see this one. I just hope it actually does what the notes say it will.

    Takes a deep breath and dives head first into the deep end.

    Small patch?  It must be downloading all the recent patches into my poor game.  EA app shows it is downloading 1.19 GIG to patch my game as I write this.   I need a Big, very Big cup of coffee.😟

      There have been quite a few in the past few days!

  • I'd expect the August patch to be small, just bug fixes for Lovestruck (in addition to the ones they did today). The new road map should come after the Sims 4 sale ends August 19th.

    Yup! I just had a bad feeling that we're not getting new contents this month since the Season of Love roadmap recently covers from May-August this year. I'm sorry y'all! My wishlist is now incomplete. 😔
