October Patch Speculation 2019 (Patch Is Out)

Seems we have a Patch coming this Thursday. This was very short notice but your quick guesses as to what could be coming.

And speaking of updates the Holiday Update is only 2 months away. ;)


Dear Simmers,

We hope you’re all doing well. If you are a Mac user, please read the below!

If you currently play The SimsTM 4 and run macOS Lion (10.7) there will be important changes you need to know about. Starting next month, we will be unable to support macOS Lion (10.7). On October 3, 2019 we will release a patch update that will no longer support The Sims 4 on that operating system.

If you wish to continue playing the game while running macOS Lion (10.7), do not update The Sims 4 with the October 3 patch, or any future game patches. To prevent the update, you will need to disable automatic updates on Origin. This will allow you to continue playing the game, however, you will not receive any future updates for the base game or be able to play any additional packs released after October 3.

    I've always had the bowl out and decorations up, active household in costume etc. No one ever comes to the door :(

    I actually am currently having Spooky Day occur in my Super Save save. I had the Trick or Treat tradition along with a bunch of others because my sim Barbie (it seemed fitting for a Super Sim lol) currently lives in an apartment and I figured she wouldn't get anyone since she couldn't place it outside her house but I had her get a candy bowl so I could have her interact with it and then suddenly at like 5pm I started to have a whole stream of kids/teens start streaming uninvited into her house cross over to use the candy bowl and then leave after they were done. It's the most I've ever had in a game too so that was interesting and unexpected. She was dressed in costume so maybe your sim has to be in costume to trigger the trick or treaters to appear? She didn't interact with them at all but they did count for the tradition though she'd already completed other traditions for the holiday.

    I think the trick or treating in The Sims 4 is Bugged. It's not triggering for a lot of people even with the candy bowl. Prehaps one of the patches broke that feature.

    By the way I see the quoting feature is broken.
