⚠️ Known Launcher Issue

EA is aware of a digital signature issue preventing The Sims 4 from launching for some PC players and is working on a fix.

The Sims Direct has confirmed that the fix will only update the launcher. The game version will not change, and installed mods will not be impacted.

Because the game itself is not being updated, we do not anticipate needing another compatibility review when this launcher fix is released.

As always, after patching:

  • Update your game to the latest version

  • Delete your localthumbcache.package

  • Check your Mods folder for outdated content
