Patch Day is Here, And Here’s What To Expect
Sul sul! Today, at 10 a.m. Pacific Time or 1 p.m. Eastern Time, we are expecting a patch! We’re looking at some huge changes that are expected to create a better playing experience. A big target of this patch will be autonomy. Console players can also expect this update to affect how they play, as the marketplace has finally come to console!
A large part of this community plays with mods, so if you are a mod user, it is important to back up your saves and mod folder before updating. This will save you from a possibly corrupted save file. If you don’t know how to do that, it can be as easy as simply moving the ‘Mods’ and ‘Saves’ folders from their place in ‘Documents/Sims 4’ and placing it on your desktop! Super simple! Then you may update!
What if I don’t want to update my game because of my mods? No worries! Go to the EA app, click the stack of lines at the top left corner, and click ‘Go Offline’. It is important to note that you must go through the app to start up as opening it from your desktop will force it into online mode, therefore updating your game.
As always, please be patient! Do not harass modders as they take the time to test which of their mods are broken. Do not assume a mod is fine, as doing so can potentially cause harm to your game. So how can you check the current status of a mod? Easy! Sims VIP is a great, user-friendly place to check not only the status of a patch but also your mods. Simply clicking on the ‘Broken/Updated Mods’ associated with the current patch will guide you to a full, searchable website that tells you the exact status of a mod currently, even providing links. How helpful!
