Almost Patch Day… (Sims 4)

Are you ready for the incoming patch?  It’s planned for December 8, but may come sooner… I would advise getting your game ready, just to be on the safe side.

Regarding the announced makeup sliders, CC makeup might be damaged.  Also, default skin replacements could break again.  

If MCCC needs an update, Deaderpool will, of course, attend to that as soon as possible.

If you don’t plan to patch right away, disable automatic updates in Origin, and also, put the Origin Launcher into Offline mode.  SOON.   (You will not have Gallery access while offline.)

If you don’t know how to do that, or would like help or information on organizing your mods and custom content to prepare for whatever the incoming code changes may break, feel free to visit Deaderpool’s Discord.  

If you wish to appeal a ban, please see this post.

Happy Holidays!

lol hold off on updating.

apparently some ppl can’t open their saves // infinite loading screens / still crashing.

Maybe this helps somebody

For me the game update started with the Licence agreement. After the update, I got the error message. First thing I did, I assumed, my game is broken. My playing days are over etc. For me, the problem was caused by BitDefender. And the solution took like 2 seconds.

SO PLEASE, don’t start panicking right away! Make sure your antivirus/firewall isn’t blocking anything. If this doesn’t help, then HERE (EA forum link) is something you should try next.

I had this too, but I had no issues after I updated the game. 🤷‍♀️

Patch Issues

For those of you still trying to decide whether or not to update (I have not updated), I thought I’d share the issues I’ve seen others talking about online:

Game crashing/quitting randomly (most notably when speeding up the time x3); may be related to sentiments in existing saves

Sims unable to age up via the birthday cake

Missing or inability to place counters, beds, sofas (but this was said to be linked to Basemental Drugs which has been updated already)

Inability to toggle off fame

Toddlers not eating

Digital sketchpad not working

Extreme lagginess

Routing issues and some general weirdness with how stairs are placed now

Some weirdness with platforms

Not sure if anyone else has put something like this together already but feel free to reblog/add to this post so that everyone can make an informed decision!

thinking about... maybe making a simblr sideblog like maxismatchccworld? except that it would be for reblogging challenges and challenge gameplay updates from various simblrs (and would allow submissions, like that blog does) 🤔 i rly love challenge gameplay so it seems like it would be fun to organize, at least!

[valkyrieplays]
