New Patch/Update May 27

Update: 5/27/2025

PC: 1.115.216.1030 / Mac: 1.115.216.1230

Console: 2.13

Note: The PlayStation and Xbox versions of today’s update ran into an issue during final testing and will be delayed. We are working hard to get this update to our console Simmers as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience!

Sul Sul Simmers!

Today’s update is primarily aimed at preparing the game for the upcoming Nature’s Calling Quest Event, which begins on June 24. In addition, we’ve addressed some issues with the Sleek Bathroom and Sweet Allure Creator Kits, and fixed a particularly pesky routing error impacting fishing spots in Sulani that was called out in our most recent Laundry List.

Happy Simming!

  • The list of bug fixes is short. 1 fix about a song version. 8 out of 10 fixes are small adjustments to kit items. They make sense but also seem like filler. Only one actual gameplay fix. I have been wanting sulani fishing spots to be fixed for a while but I expected more substantial fixes. Let's hope this means they are making progress on the more critical bugs.

    not sure why they did that, but welcome wagon now spawns at 4 pm (used to be 10 am)

    I always wonder why changes like these aren't mentioned in patches. The entire point of patches is to inform users about changes. 

    As for the overlay with mouse controls, sigh. Yet another setting to turn off.

    I only tested one in Mua Pel'am (the volcano neighborhood) and that seemed to be working.

  • Does anyone have an update on the console update. My game is not updating. Wondering if it might be on my end.
