Sul Sul, Simmers,
We have a patch scheduled for tomorrow, August 6. This patch includes a few key fixes to improve your gameplay experience:
Resolves a memory crash that could occur when traveling.
Addresses a bug that could cause manual saves to overwrite the wrong save slot.
Fixes an issue with stuck countdowns for school and careers.
Mod & Custom Content Information This update is expected to have a minimal impact on mods. However, as a best practice for any game update, we always recommend you back up your saves and manage your mods/CC carefully.
We’ll keep you posted right here on Sims Community as soon as the upcoming Sims 4 hotfix update releases across supported platforms. Stay tuned!
