It's never an easy patch release for The Sims 4. The Sims Direct Communications announced today that they'll be releasing a new The Sims 4 Hotfix Update
The Hotfix for a Quality of Life Update is on the way for next week.
It’s never an easy patch release for The Sims 4. The Sims Direct Communications announced today that they’ll be releasing a new The Sims 4 Hotfix Update across both Computers and Consoles next week. Proving that there’s more to fix for this game rather than just scrolling CAS issues on Console.
The highlighted fixes include Create A Sim, eye dropper tool and controller scrolling issues.
Simmers, We are currently testing fixes for recently reported Create a Sim, eye dropper tool, and controller scrolling issues.
We hope to release these in a small Base Game update across all platforms next week. Thank you for your EA Forums reports, and for your patience.
Question: What about the soft locking for tattoos in the gallery for consoles it’s a very big bug you can’t use tattoos at all
Direct Team: We’re tracking that one on the EA Forums at the link here, we’ll update you as soon as we have more to share
The upcoming Sims 4 Hotfix update will arrive just a few days after the big Quality of Life Update. It sure wasn’t a small patch considering several new issues popped out from it, but it makes you wonder if every The Sims 4 patch will be met with the same question — Will it break something else?
Let us know what you think about the latest Sims 4 Hotfix Update announcement and stay tuned to Sims Community for more Sims News and Updates!

Well, they broke the Doctor career, Actor career and loving, taking care and adopting pets to name a few, so yeah they better get their s*** together as soon as possible.
Sans oublié le fait que le nourrisson ne peuvent plus dormir, l’action reste bloquée. C’est un vrai plaisir (ironie bien-sûr) !

This is so embarrassing. At this point, please, ask players to test these updates in Beta in exchange for Moola or whatever. AI Quality Assurance is useless.

You literally broke the ‘adopt a dog’ option. When you try and adopt a dog, when the adopter comes over, and you click ‘adopt’ the sim just walks up to the dog, picks them up and doesn’t allow the adoption! Wth! Please fix this!

Let’s hope cas gets fixed to immediately move to the item a sim is currently wearing. But at this point hot fixes are feeling like a standard routine in sims 4.
