Sims 4: New April Update!

The Sims Team is all set to unveil a fresh Sims 4 Update for PC, Mac, Xbox, and Playstation platforms! This latest Patch readies the game for the imminent launch of two new Kits – Party Essentials and Urban Homage. Mark your calendars for this Thursday!

Base Game

• Plants that are alive and well will no longer emit green “stink clouds” as if they were dead. Translations related to this fix will be available in the next release!
• After enforcing regulations with the Landgraab Power Company, power on a Sim’s lot will no longer be unexpectedly shut off when bills are paid in full.
• What an identity crisis! Simmers playing in any language besides English will no longer see the First and Last Name panel blank in CAS for Sims that have selected pronouns.
• Um, wasn’t this supposed to be a group activity? When doing Group Cooking, all Sims will now participate.

Gallery Server

• We have been continually reviewing your Gallery profanity reports, which can be submitted through the The Sims 4 Gallery Profanity Filter Feedback survey, and we have been updating the ruleset to allow Simmer freedom while keeping others safe. A couple of highlights include:
  • Reducing the strictness of how hashtags were handled when listed in specific orders
  • Maxis-created Sims, even from past Sims games, should no longer be prevented from uploading if you choose to recreate one or more

Eco Lifestyle

• We fixed an issue where The Dew Collector was not collecting any water. Now, it will correctly collect water, and the water level will continue to rise.

High School Years

• Timestamps are now updated properly on the Social Bunny App. Phew, talk about FOMO!

Horse Ranch

• While admirable, Sims will no longer express a desire to level up their Nectar Making skill, when that skill is already maxed out.
• Yipee, Horse Riding now helps Sims lose weight!

For Rent

• In this economy?! The maximum available rent value will no longer lower after evicting a tenant during a grace period in 11C Sungai Point.
• Yikes. Now, this is going to require an audit! Landlords who own a Residential Rental Lot and own a business will no longer have fund transfer issues. Transfers from the business to the household will no longer fail, and money will no longer duplicate household funds when transferring to a business.

Crystal Creations

• The shawl sweater from Crystal Creations is now visible when selecting a “Fashion Choice” in CAS filters. Please be advised that wearing this shawl did not grant the power of invisibility.

Realm of Magic

• What a conundrum! When aliens abduct Spellcasters, they will now become pregnant and give birth to an alien baby instead of a Sim baby.

Werewolves

• Tastes like kibble! After taking the ‘Wolf-B-Gone’ drink, Sims will no longer have a fury glow still showing.
• Updated a series of CAS accessories that were originally showing up for werewolves, even though those accessories were not applicable to werewolves.

Grunge Revival

• A texture issue with the chipped nails in Grunge Revival has been updated.

Poolside Splash

• Textures on one of the tank tops have been updated to remove some texture bleeding.

Castle Estate

• Hear ye, hear ye. All Castle Estate Windows have been updated to show up in the correct wall height categories.
• The arrow slit window has been updated to show that it can be placed on curved walls.
• The “Heraldic Crest of Yore” and the “The Eavesdropping Llama” have been updated to appear in Outdoor Wall Sculptures. Your castle has never looked better!
