Laundry List

A Sim points to something on a work table while a second Sim watches thoughtfully.

Sul Sul Simmers!

Welcome to The Sims 4 Laundry List, where we share the top community concerns we’re currently investigating and aim to resolve in an upcoming patch later this month.

In our commitment to resolving technical challenges, our team focuses on community-voted fixes with each update. This is the fourth release in this series, and we look forward to the opportunity to continue to improve the experience for our players.

The list below highlights issues most frequently reported by the community through AnswersHQ. While some issues may not be listed, they may still be in the process of being addressed. Some topics can require an extended investigation on our end, so even though these fixes may be in active review, it’s not a guarantee that we’ll have an immediate fix for it in the upcoming patch.

As with each new patch, please remember to remove any external game mods and custom content if you are experiencing issues as the first step in troubleshooting, as they may conflict with the updates. Thank you for your reports and happy Simming!
