Sul Sul, Simmers!

Thank you for your support as we continue to improve PC compatibility issues and community reported issues. We appreciate your patience and hope you’ve seen some good improvements over the last few weeks. Please continue to report any issues on the official EA Forums.

Fixed Issues:

  • General stability improvements
  • Some players had difficulty setting/changing the game language
  • Several game issues occurred when a University-lot pre-made Sim graduates and relocates to the home neighborhood
  • The game could sometimes take a very long time to launch
  • Restored music tracks from Acceptance and Annie
  • “Wants” go missing after a teen goes to University and game focus is kept on them
  • When a child ages to a teen, quitting without saving would not fully revert the aging process (the teen attributes would now be on a child body)
  • Sims can sometimes become stuck at the hotel when vacationing (“Too many iterations” error on the loading screen)

General notes:

  • There are recurring problems being reported on Intel Arc systems. Intel has recently ended direct support for DirectX 9 and is providing support via a transparent mapping layer. It is possible that this solution can have flaws that may impact any programs that rely on DirectX 9.

There may be issues not listed here that are in the process of being addressed as certain issues require an extended investigation on our end. Even though these fixes may be in active review, it’s not a guarantee that we’ll have an immediate fix for it in an upcoming patch.

Please continue to share and report any issues on our forums, and join our official Discord community for tips, tricks, and news!

Dag Dag,

The Sims Team
