Sul Sul, Simmers!

This update covers a series of quick fixes for issues reported on the previous update.

As part of the migration, we've also moved the open reports and their corresponding "me-toos" to the EA Forums. Visit EA Forums to share with us any issues you might be experiencing. This is the primary source for information, troubleshooting, and gathering information on issues being reported.

Thanks for all your reports!

Bug Fixes & Updates

Base Game:

[EA Forums] Addressed multiple cases where festival objects from different events (Romance, Flea Market, Spice, and Humor and Hijinks) overlapped on lots in San Myshuno. Additionally, rogue objects such as coffee cups, plates, flowers, cupcakes, crates, and boxes will no longer appear randomly floating or scattered around the city.
Fixed an issue where the full-body outfit (ymBody_SP60RobeBoxers) was wearable for female Sims.

[AHQ] Casanova Cave Top (ymTop_SP60Vest) now tucks in properly.
We missed these in the last patch notes!

Hovertips will show up a bit quicker when moving your mouse around the HUD.

Lessons Improvements: fixed side bar indentation and linking issues.

You can now update traits and aspirations after finishing Create a Sim Stories.

A couple of travel improvements! You can click on your Sim to travel, and the interaction has been moved up in your phone.

Grim has a new ghastly look! His tattered robe has additional detail, exposing his skeletal ribcage, and he has skeleton fingers to match.

Base Game & Affecting Multiple Packs:

[EA Forums] Clutter items that were not showing up under the clutter tag in Build Mode have been fixed. Let there be clutter!

Try loading EA App first sometimes the App will say can't get on server or something and you'll have the option to restart the EA App. I had to do this twice now on two different days.

[CMDR Nova]

Yeah thanks guys, can't even open the game now

I'm running Sims 4 through Steam on Proton because I'm on Linux, there is no "open the EA app first"

It worked fine, then an update came through and everything stopped working. This is on EA to fix

Ea knows something broke hopefully they fix it soon.

I can't open the geme

[Bandit]

I updated and got in game then it crashed and now can't get back in.

[Caseoh]

Thanks EA now we cant play YOUR game. ♥♥♥♥ you and bring battlefront back from the dead

[axel.rogat]

After the update, the game says my graphics card (GeForce GTX 1650) is suddenly below the minimum requirements for The Sims 4 and sets all settings to "Low".

Even with these settings, I now only get about 0.5 frames per second, i.e. one frame every two seconds -- compared to 30 frames this morning!

Unplayable. Unbelievable!

Thanks for this update - it's made launching the EA App impossible and therefore made the game inaccessible. Great!

Somethings up it seems this link is now dead.

I can get to the EA site but once I click on The Sims 4 no page loads up.

UPDATE: It seems The Sims 4 page loads now but the update link is still dead.
