Hey all, Today's patch was focused on bug fixes so not much to give feedback on this time in terms of new content. Please share any feedback here so that I can forward it up with the next patch release. :)PS: We are still investigating the issues with Sims being mean autonomously after the Oct. 11th patch. We're tracking that here on AHQ.

Thanks a bunch for fixing the no running Sims bug. That one was driving me nuts.

Hi, I made an account to write something here... so, I introduced my friend to the game a few days ago, he's never played a Sims game before and i watched him play and helped him when he got stuck. I noticed through this experience how broken the game currently is. action queues rarely get followed all the way, often times an action needs to be spammed before the sim does it. there is also a lot of afk standing around before the sim performs an action. the random insults make it near impossible to build relationships for a new player like my friend. I've personally noticed a lot of animation bugs, one that always happens is misplaced positions when having a water balloon fight. following action queue, socializing and animations working are basics to the game, come on :c it makes me sad cause it caused my friend to have a really bad experience with the game as a first time player. i really hope you look into these things in a timely manner, thank you for your time and efforts

Even with a married couple it’s hard to cancel all the times they go to auto argue. Then there’s the angry sentiments as well. Have your Sim buy lots of decorations for the home. A good painting provides a happy buff that overrides any anger emotion. Hope your friend wasn’t put off and keeps playing.

The automatic mean behaviour is so frustrating. I’ve had to spilt households up and play single Sims and watch them ?.

My last play, I was yelling at the screen;

No Nancy do not argue with Geoffrey! Stop it! ??‍♂️
Eliza, Bob is your partner do not antagonise him! ??‍♂️
Bella would you eat the salad and stop annoying Vlad, that’s not a good idea!
Travis would you stop trashing relationships you’re my legacy Sim!

Am I becoming a Sim parent? ??‍♂️?

Good news, we're in the final tests of approving a fix for the mean Sims bug introduced in the Oct 11th patch now. :)

Hopefully I'll have something to share on it very soon.

Hey all,

The fix intended to go live for this issue with today's SDX drop will now be going live in early December, we sincerely apologize for the delay.

We understand that this issue is a major pain point right now and it's very frustrating attempting to play The Sims 4 around it, but please keep discourse civil.

I’ll keep playing my single Sims households for now. ? Thanks for the update ?

It’s obviously more complex and early December isn’t that far away.

I appreciate your patience, the whole team was extremely disappointed that the fix wasn't able to go live today.

@EA_Cade I can be patient a bit longer. Still setting up my gameplay for the holidays and building. December is less than 2 weeks away and I will be busy anyway, with getting ready for Thanksgiving and then decorating for Christmas. Won't be much time to play. I would rather wait longer for a fix that works well then have one that isn't quite ready. Thank you for letting us know.
