Patch March 17 (Patch Notes Now Available)

Thank you for the reminder! As I do back up my saves before patches/updates.

Thank you for the reminder. I was supposed to have a dr's appointment that morning, but thankfully (and after this is the third time it happened) they changed it to the end of the month. This gives me time to advance the story and still be able to back things up. Yay.

Are consoles getting a base game update tomorrow? I know the new marketplace maker space isn't coming to console for a while yet but wasn't sure if if the whole update tomorrow was just for PC and Mac 🙂

Also I was wondering about the Kits situation on console, with kits being moved to the maker space on PC will they still be available to purchase on the PlayStation store after tomorrow or will they become unavailable until the maker space implementation update is released on console? 🤔

Consoles will receive this Base Game update at a later date.

When the Marketplace launches on PC and Mac on March 17, 2026, Kits will become exclusively available in the in-game Marketplace. Any Kits you already own will remain in your library and ready to play. For console players, this change will happen when the Marketplace arrives on your platform, and we’ll share updates ahead of time.

Kits will still be available on the Xbox/PS stores up until the Marketplace launches for console.

Thank you for clearing this up for me, much appreciated 😁 

Does anyone know when the update will be released for the EST zone?

NM, it released at 1pm here.

I like the new look of the gallery. Too bad I still can't upload anything to it. 

I love the option to dislike phones and computers. However, they did not turn off the idles to "check phone". So my Sims who dislike phone use are still pulling them out to briefly look at them and putting them away again.

Oh, then I have to keep my mod that stops them from doing that, so much for reducing my mods with this update X /
