Critical Updates for Top Community Issues
Update 3/6/2024 PC: 1.105.345.1020 / Mac: 1.105.345.1220 Console: 1.89 Sul Sul, Today’s update contains a number of critical fixes addressing the community’s top reported issues over the past week. In the interest of deploying these fixes faster, this update will follow a staggered release cadence. The update is available immediately on PC, Mac, and Xbox, and will arrive on PlayStation soon thereafter. Thanks for your detailed reports via our AHQ forum that allowed us to investigate these issues quickly. -The Sims 4 Team Bug Fixes The Sims 4 Updated some performance optimizations that had caused certain moodlets to inadvertently be removed from Sims on load. Fixed a crash that would occur if a tooltip was triggered when in the hover state on objects within a Sim’s inventory. Fixed an issue with object picker UI menus that - when certain conditions were met - would interfere with Sims’ ability to run various “Give” interactions (interactions where objects would be given to other Sims). Once learned, the WooHoo Interests of other Sims will once again be displayed accurately in that Sims’ Profile Panel. For Rent You should once again be able to successfully open the Profile Panel of another Sim after Eavesdropping on them and see any secrets that were learned about them. Crystal Creations Corrected an issue where Sims’ bodies would gradually change in size each time a Sim put on or took off crafted jewelry. This issue primarily affected Teens, Adults, and Elders. There was minimal impact to Young Adults. While this issue will no longer occur, this update does not retroactively fix the appearance of Sims who had already been altered. There are two methods we can suggest for manually restoring your Sims: You can restore an older save file that was saved prior to any crafted jewelry being worn by your Sims. On PC/Mac, please visit our video guide or text guide for instructions on restoring older save files. On PlayStation/Xbox, select “Load Game” from the main menu, and choose an older save file. You can take your Sim into CAS by using the “Change Sim” interaction on a Mirror or Dresser object, and then manipulate your Sim’s body to reasonably approximate their prior appearance. For players with The Sims 4 Get to Work, crafted jewelry can now be sold at Retail businesses without being returned to the business owner Sims’ inventory when traveling away from the Retail lot. If a Sim dies while wearing crafted jewelry, that jewelry will now be disassociated with the now-dead Sim when the jewelry is returned to the household’s inventory. Updated some combinations of crafting jewelry that were resulting in a gemstone color that did not match the crystal that was selected when crafting.Fixed Flashing

Base Game / Multipack [AHQ] Error Code 121 no longer occurs when moving in a household for the “Finding Love After a Breakup” Scenario. [AHQ] Error Code 123 no longer occurs in certain circumstances when traveling to another location. [AHQ] Cost of living just went back up: Sims once again can pay bills when they are due. [AHQ] Previously distorted glasses are back in shape. Improved interface for the Safe for Streaming Music options. Songs that aren't safe to stream should be grayed out, while available songs can now be previewed. Sims rejected from being asked on a date through the Relationship Panel now are firmly rejected with a Notification. Just to make it official. "Start a New Relationship" is no longer a Want for Sims with the Noncommittal Trait. You might have seen the option to "Lecture About Responsibilities" twice in the interaction menu when a parent is talking to their teen Sim. It should now just appear once, so enough with the nagging. Seasons With Lovestruck… The Dr. June’s Weather Control Device no longer offers snow in Ciudad Enamorada. Winters are warm here! High School Years Married Sims no longer propose to other Sims. Growing Together With Lovestruck… Sims asked on a date from Cupid's Corner only have three Traits now, leaving room for new Traits through Self Discovery. Sims found previously through Cupid’s Corner still will have more Traits than average – overachievers. The text for the Self Discovery moment of swapping the Unflirty or Romantically Reserved Traits to Lovebug now accurately reflects the traits being swapped. Lovestruck Live Mode [AHQ] Gallery Sims are available again in Cupid’s Corner and the game no longer sometimes infinitely loads when traveling after adding one to your Sim’s contacts. [AHQ] Sims from Cupid’s Corner whose location was listed as “Not Shared” now can be socialized with on a Lovestruck Date or Hangout. Ghost partners can go to Cupid's Counseling. Their partners could see through their excuses and are ready to remedy their relationship! Ghosts are available for Seductive Dances and “Watch Stars/Sky with…”. Sims no longer stargaze indoors at Rattlesnake Juice Bar in Oasis Springs. These interactions have more versions of Simlish for variety: “Play Woo-Who!? With…” on Who's Up Party Games, “Steal from Fountain” on the Fountain of Dreams, and “Rub Ring”. Look for Sammy The Ring Bear around that fountain for more information. [AHQ] A Sim who was met on a Blind Date and then canceled on (rude!) now can be asked to Create a Date. Previously, the interface was blank. Sims no longer read “Seduction by the Sea” indefinitely. Must be a real page-turner! Sims now autonomously seek sleep when they are low on energy. Flowers given to a Sim now show up in the recipient's inventory. When selecting a single flower for “Give Flowers…”, the Sim now bestows a single flower instead of a whole bouquet. Sometimes a single bloom says more than an entire bouquet! When selecting “Cuddle in Bed” multiple times in a row on a bed, Sims no longer lock up with their arm outstretched. When selecting “Cuddle in Bed” multiple times in a row on different beds, the Sim now successfully reaches the first bed. "Ask to Create a Date..." with a new Sim from the Gallery now results in that Sim showing up properly at the edge of the Date or Hangout location. The Unflirty Trait icon looks clearer. Create a Sim Lovebug and Romantically Reserved Traits are available as Likes and Dislikes plus Turn-Ons and Turn-Offs in Create a Sim. [AHQ] The short, curly beard (ymFacialHair_EP16BeardCurly) no longer changes the shape of the Sim’s jaw. Build Mode Spot-tangle Light (lightWall_EP16SULTuplight) no longer steals the spotlight by turning off all other lights within a room when placed. Couples Crest Bench (sitLoveseat2x1_EP16GENartistic) now has collision and cannot be placed where there is no space. Ciudad Enamorada The camera moves more freely now around Calle del Ensueño in Plaza Mariposa. [AHQ] The door of the Nadir household's penthouse office has returned, so poor Aziz can get back to his writing. Casita del Amor’s Lot now shows the correct view when saving to the Gallery. A missing curtain in Mirador del Amor has been re-added to the venue. The rooftop of the López household now has all of its walls painted. Dine Out Waiters bring out food and clean tables more reliably without resetting. Vampires [AHQ] Teen Vampires now can complete a regular Date. They deserve a chance to find love, too! With Lovestruck… Vampires without Sun Resistance now can go to Cupid's Counseling regardless of the time of day. No more using the sun as an excuse to get out of the hard work of a relationship. All Vampires are available for Seductive Dances, not just Vampires with Sun Resistance. Non-sun-resistant Sims deserve Seductive Dances, too! Realm of Magic [AHQ] Sims are once again able to read Magic Tomes. Time to get back to the spellbooks! My Wedding Stories [AHQ] Just a Spot of Tea now stays put instead of disappearing when returning to a rental lot from a wedding venue.Embrace A Change of Heart
Update 09/18/2024 PC: 1.109.185.1030 / Mac: 1.109.185.1230 Console: 1.99 Sul Sul Simmers! This patch is a big one and brings many new updates and fixes into the game that span across different packs, including improvements to apartment walls, ceiling lighting, and a whole host of fixes for our recently released expansion pack, Lovestruck. These, along with so many more across both Base Game and Packs, can be found below. Thank you for your continued reporting efforts at AnswersHQ. It really helps to let us know the issues you care most about. We hope these fixes keep improving your game and allow you to keep having more fun! More to come. The Sims 4 Team What’s New in The Sims 4 There’s a colorful update to Build/Buy items! 650 color variants have been added and there are new items such as archways, doors, and even ground covers to spruce up your terrain. Check out the vibrant colors and new items in the video. For more details, scroll to the end of the patch notes to see a list of all the Build/Buy items. We can’t wait to see how you mix and match! Performance Reducing Memory Usage: Frequent Memory Updates - Increased the frequency of memory usage data updates to prevent out-of-memory crashes. Improving Simulation Performance: Streamlining Data Storage - We restructured how we store game data to reduce the overhead of using Python objects, making the game run faster and use less memory. Efficient Buff Generation - Reworked how temporary data is generated and stored to fix previous issues and optimize memory usage. Reducing Load Times: Optimizing Render Target Allocation - Stopped unnecessary allocation of large color targets during certain rendering processes, now saving valuable memory especially in high-resolution settings. DirectX 11 (DX11) Updates We’re pleased to announce improvements to the DirectX 11 executable for PC users. While these updates are focused on Windows PC’s, Xbox Simmers will also see benefits from these changes as the Xbox runs a console-based variant of DirectX 11. Here’s what to expect: NVIDIA and AMD NVIDIA and AMD Graphics Cards - Players using NVIDIA and AMD GPUs will now automatically default to the DX11 executable. Players on other GPUs like Intel, will continue to enjoy The Sims 4 on DX9 until a later update. DirectX 11 Enhancements - Faster Graphics Processing - Implemented changes to how graphics data is updated, reducing delays between the CPU and GPU for smoother gameplay. Performance Boost with Constant Buffers (cbuffers) - This enhances performance by reducing overhead and managing memory more efficiently. Users with mid to high-end GPUs should notice improved performance! New DirectX 9 Option in Graphics Setting - By default, Simmers on NVIDIA and AMD GPUs will launch The Sims 4 using DX11. If you prefer, you can switch to DX9 via Game Options > Graphics and enable the DirectX 9 toggle before re-launching The Sims 4 to play using DirectX 9. Intel Ongoing Intel Development - We are continuing development on bringing DirectX 11 to Intel GPU based PC’s but it needs a little longer before we can bring it to Simmers as the default option. For now Intel based Simmers will continue to use DirectX 9 when running The Sims 4. DirectX 11 Opt-In - DirectX 11 is available for those Simmers who want to try it, including those using an Intel GPU, you may experience visual issues with mods. We recommend disabling all mods while using the -dx11 command line argument. For detailed information about DirectX 11 and instructions on how to enter launch arguments for both the EA App and Steam, please visit here. If you encounter any issues with DirectX, you can find assistance here. The Gallery Pack filters now properly work for Home Chef Hustle in The Gallery and library. No more hiding.

Update 7/23/2024 PC: 1.108.289.1030 / Mac: 1.108.289.1230 Console: 1.94 Sul Sul, Simmers! We’re lovestruck to share this abundance of new Base Game features and pack fixes! What’s New in The Sims 4? All for Love Romantic Boundaries Real life relationships are nuanced and complex! Romantic Boundaries bring some of that into The Sims 4 by enabling you to define the conditions under which your Sims become jealous. These live in Create a Sim alongside the “Gender” and “Sexual Orientation” options in the Identity Panel and you can change them at any point in time. Does your Sim become Jealous from Non-Physical Romance? Non-Physical Romance consists of social interactions that do not involve physical touch. Examples: flirting and complimenting appearance Does your Sim become Jealous from Physical Romance? Physical Romance consists of socials that do involve physical touch. Examples: Kissing and holding hands Does your Sim become Jealous from WooHoo? This applies to WooHoo for Young Adults and older and Mess Around for Teens. Is your Sim open to changing the factors that cause them to become Jealous? “Yes” means the Sim can be asked in Live Mode to reconsider their feelings surrounding Jealousy for the settings above. The defaults for all of these will be “Yes” for Sims in your existing games so that you can be the one to decide if you want different behavior. New Sims that the game makes can run the spectrum! Hiding Relationships As your Sims are dating or simply going about their daily lives, their Relationship Panel will accumulate more and more Sims. Tired of it being cluttered with random Sims that you met once and have no desire to meet again? Or have an ex that you want to scrub from your contacts? Well, good news! Now you can remove those Sims (who are not members of your household) by selecting them in the Relationship Panel and selecting “Hide Relationship”. Make room for the Sims who really matter! Neutral Relationship Names The language for Sims’ relationships now is more neutral to be more inclusive. “Husband / Wife” → “Spouse” “Fiancé / Fiancée” → “Engaged” “Boyfriend/Girlfriend” → “Partner” One place where you can see this is in Create a Sim. Select the “Identity” button (it looks like three dots) and go to the Household Relationships Panel. Partner Status Previously, the Partners relationship could only be established through gameplay. Now you can set it within Create a Sim between two Sims in your household! Create a Sim Eyelashes Eyelashes now have their own category! As you all know, some eye shapes have eyelashes as part of them. Now, Sims can have separate eyelashes applied independently from the shape of the eye! And since they are in their own category, they also are compatible with other accessories such as glasses and piercings. The base game includes two styles of lashes for a more dramatic look for your Sims! Seriously! It’s for everyone. For free. Today. Right now! “Apply to All Outfits” Button The days of manually finding and selecting the same accessory, makeup, hat, hair, top, bottom, full-body outfit, or footwear for each outfit are gone! Now you can hit this single button to apply the item to every outfit at once! Love that makeup look you just perfected in your Sim’s Everyday style? Now you can apply it to multiple categories! Found the perfect pair of pants for your party outfit, but applied it to Everyday by accident? You can also select specific categories to copy to, as well! This works on all ages and with all types of Occult Sims. We can’t believe it either. Is today the best day ever?! Note: Currently, the Apply All Button adds the selected item to your Sim’s outfits. It does not remove outfit pieces - only adds or replaces. We look forward to any feedback you might have on this new feature, so we can continue to improve it to meet your CAS needs in future releases! Updated Hairstyles Is that a new hairstyle or are you just happy to see me? Yes, we are happy to see you and, yes, it is new hair! Dark and Lovely Hairstyle Partnership And there’s even more hair!

Mix and match with regular corners—let your imagination run wild! There also is a new pool light, Oblong Wall Light, that works perfectly on curved pool walls! Live Mode Relationship Interactions A new “Relationship…” category in the Interaction menu now contains actions across the Base Game and a number of packs that directly relate to relationship status such as “Ask to Join Household” or “Become Best Friends”. Safe Music Streaming The Music section of Game Options now has a “Safe for Steaming” toggle to play only the music that is safe for streaming The Sims 4! When this is checked, you don’t have to worry about your stream or video running into music copyright issues. We’ll be adding more music with streaming-friendly licensing as time goes on. Neighborhood Stories Neighborhood Stories now has two new options within Manage Households: Friendship Changes and Romance Changes. This enables Sims in other households to start and end those types of relationships on their own. You can use the mailbox each day to “Check Recent Neighborhood Stories” for news such as Sims your household knows becoming best friends, breaking up, or getting back together. Conversation Panel We gave a new coat of paint to improve the usability of that panel that appears at the top of the screen when your active Sim is in a conversation! Did you know you can do all these things with it?

Married Sims no longer receive a Want to flirt with Sims who are not their spouse. Teen Sims will no longer feel jealous around a previous Teen romantic partner who has become a Young Adult. Jealousy was getting ahead of itself! Those jealousy buffs were wrongly calling an engaged Sim a spouse. We've calmed things down and fixed the mix-up! Upon learning a Sim's WooHoo interest and opening their Sim Profile, the Sim Profile will no longer say "No One" even when the sim has a WooHoo interest in Men/Women.

Time to kick back and relax! If a Discovery Quest appears during an Event, the Event progress bar will not reset if the Discovery Quest is canceled. If a Discovery Quest appears during an Event that has Goals and Rewards, your Sims now keep their Event titles and the progress remains visible. Sims will be able to "Ask on Date..." without the need for Romantic Relationship. That won't stop Sims from rejecting the date proposal if things are off though.

Haughty Herringbone Wall and Floor Tile’s color swatch for the gray version now matches instead of being black. Don't mind it, it was just going through an emo phase… Teen Sims will only have memories of "First Mess Around" and will not confuse this with "First Woohoo."

The name of the Residential Rental lot will stop reverting back to its default name. The amount of Rent per Day now can be set with a controller on console. Households that do not use utilities such as power and water and owe zero Simoleons will not receive messages that threaten utility shutoff.

Neighborhood Sims now leave the restaurant after completing the eating of a grand meal and will no longer wait until the restaurant is closed.

Star Wars™: Journey to Batuu For galactic safety, scheduling Events from the Calendar while in Batuu no longer is available. My Wedding Stories Wedding Cakes now note that only the Sim who plans the event can select the Cake. "Call off the Wedding" is available on both the Sim and the wedding arch while performing the vows. Never too late to call it off…until it is. Sims who are hungry will not eat the Wedding Cake until instructed. Go eat something else! Sims who travel to Tartosa can now successfully “Get Married to…” their partner at Town Hall.

Sims now stand instead of sitting on the floor from "Please Take Your Seats" if there aren't enough chairs. Werewolves The Sweater (ymTop_GP12SweaterDecal) no longer distorts at the arm for male Sims when viewing from a distance.
