Update Now Available, Tuesday 8/30

Looking forward to it. My game hasn’t had any severe issues but I know many people still cannot play theirs. Hoping this update helps a lot of players.

I'll have to remove all my cc and back up and boycott for it, hopefully even if it's small they were able to fix the noticieable issues.

@simgirl1010 Thank you for the warning. I'm making sure my game is offline until I hear this update is safe. I had some scary moments with my main save after that last update, lesson learned.

I haven't had major issues. Just some little bugs that need to be fixed, like not being able to keep Wants/Fears turned off and a few small issues. Hopefully the bug fix will help those who were seriously affected by the update.

Thanks for the warning. I am still not over the disaster high school years patch and especially how origin forced some players to update by making it possible to play offline. I will not update right away, that is if origin allows me play offline like we used to before the high school patch.

If there is one thing that I learned last month, it is that patches are no longer a fun thing to look forward to but something to dread and avoid if you can. I have little hope for the promised fixes. Just look at how long the rocket bug took to get fixed. And the reverting plant bug has been toned down but is still not completely gone despite the many claims. And even if they would fix the most important issues, I will still be stuck with wants and fears (I just want whims/wishes without fears), body hair appearing on random female townies, distorted age lengths (teens in sims are now too long compared to children and toddlers) and gender preferences. This does not mean I am against same sex relationships, it just means I prefer the old system where gender preference was implied instead of actual boxes to tick. I always admired that until the last update in the sims world gender did not matter and any sim could develop feelings for any sim. I don't like sims turning each other down because they are the 'wrong' gender.

If only this update could undo the last one. That is what I really want.

oh i really hope this helps with saving issues. I have never been so depressed after buying a pack before, I waited four weeks to buy it hoping for the best and still wound up wasting 14 hours trying to get my game to even remotely work. if I can't save, I can't play. Really really hoping this fixes stuff

After the last mess, batton down the hatches and make ready for a storm. (OK, yes, Talk Like a Pirate Day was the last event I played through yesterday... what if it).

I need to back up my saves. I never do this but today I have this weird feeling :)

About time! I'm now so into my Sims3 game though, so I'm not sure I'm ready to come back to Sims4. I will let others test the new patch and see what fresh hell it brings to our games.

I was able to play offline this morning. Hopefully you can too.?
