The patch to fix the patch borked my game (Nov 17)

Yeah, I just closed my game for the day and saw the word update. Oi!

There was a patch today? I'm on auto update as far as I know, I'll go and check what my game is doing (I'm on PC).

Origin won't even let me open the game unless I update!! Also on a Mac. I'll update this post when I open the game after I install the hotfix.

Edit: 2 days later and now we're having issues. It was fine, and now it's not. Every time I travel it's an endless loading screen. I've taken mods out, repaired my game (which took five minutes for some odd reason) and I'm still having the issue. Ugh.

RESOLVED: Repair Game in the Origin Sims 4 game settings got me to the map. Hopefully that was the last of the problems.

Thanks for letting us know!

I didn't even know there was a patch today. I've been so afraid to update my game...

I wasn't even having the crashing problem, my game has been playing fine. I installed the update today and now it's stuck on an infinite loading screen. Needless to say, I'm not happy.

About to try that...

I didn't seem to have any problems before, but after this patch for the patch, entering game was "laggy" for lack of a better term. I was able to enter game, but I don't recall it ever hesitating like this. It only added a few extra minutes, but it left me paranoid. :#

I'm hearing that a lot of people on Twitter are experiencing the same issue. This is insane. I don't understand why there are so many issues coming from these updates.

1. the developers I believe are still working from home during the Pandemic making it harder for them to do their job.
2. EA doesn't give the developers time the need to create anything. It's not just the Sims but other games they make as well. They care more about making money rather than creating good games.
3. Usually those of us who occult players are hit the hardest.

I practically ran to update this patch, only to find that it’s waiting for approval for consoles.

I know it’s a Microsoft/Sony thing but “UGH!”

Forget free the babies, free my Sims from this patch!
