Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the game could crash on launch for 2% of players using specific types of custom content, under certain circumstances.
• Resolved an issue that caused a main menu message to appear more frequently than intended.

CC and Mods Should Work Normally Again

One of the biggest highlights of the Sims 4 March 23 Hotfix is the fix for players experiencing launch issues tied to certain types of custom content.

According to the official update, around a small portion of players were affected by crashes when starting the game. Now, that issue has been resolved, meaning your CC should finally load properly and behave as expected.

For many Simmers, this is a huge win. Mods and CC are such a core part of how we personalize our games, so having them back without issues feels like everything is right again.

Smoother Main Menu Experience with the Sims 4 March 23 Hotfix

Aside from the CC fix, the Sims 4 March 23 Hotfix also tones down an annoying issue in the main menu.

Some players noticed that a certain message was popping up way more often than it should. That has now been adjusted, making the overall experience feel less repetitive and a lot cleaner when you first load into the game.

Final Thoughts

All in all, the Sims 4 March 23 Hotfix may be a small update, but it fixes some pretty frustrating problems that were affecting everyday gameplay.
