Did Anyone Else Have to Update Manually?

I've been playing my game most of the day. I took a small break to check the forums, since I had asked about another singer mod I could use while awaiting the one I love to be updated. Then I saw the double It's Patch Day! I also saw the Twitter from the Sims' Community that it was no joke. I'm guessing that there is a patch, but the joke was in finding it! Clever, EA. Very, very clever.

I clicked on my game cover in the Library in Origin and selected update. It did something, but I noticed the wording was updating game files. If that's always been the wording, I've never noticed it before. LOL (Wouldn't be the first time.)

At any rate, I do hope I'm all patched up for the moment. I have to admit it's been making me nervous. I have a tendency to save after my Sims have done something by way of progress, be it in a skill, or work, or whatnot.

If this truly is a Code:0 fix, then I thank you so much, EA. And I'll take it and the MWS fix as an early birthday present. :)

    My updates are auto but yesterday's didn't show but today's did.


    So, I presume you got both at once? I do hope so.

    I just now launched the game for the first time all day and no update. I had one yesterday, but nothing today. It's not indicating there is any update ready to install. Nothing.


    See? That's what happened to me, so I came back here to find out what is going on. LOL Then an idea sprung into my head. I clicked on My Library on Origin, did a right-click on the cover of the Sims4 game, and selected update. Something updated. I already had updated on the 31st, so that likely wasn't it.

    Did you go into My Library on Origin? Right-click the cover for Sims4 and select update. It will take it from there. That's how I found it. As I stated to another player, I think that was the April Fool's joke. Hiding it the way they did. ;)


    I never would thought of that. Thank you! I will go take a look. I would be so mad if I had gotten that bug thinking it had to have been fixed in the patch from the 31st. Next time I went in the game I was going to fully unlock Neighborhood Stories.
