Patch Day !

🎮 What’s This Patch About?

Today’s patch is mainly a follow-up fix and console update. It doesn’t add new features, but it focuses on bug fixes, performance improvements, and making sure console players are caught up with the last major PC/Mac patch from May 27.

🔑 Key Fixes & Changes

🔁 Console Catch-Up

  • If you play on PlayStation or Xbox, this patch brings your version up to date with PC/Mac.

  • That means all the bug fixes and improvements from the May update are now live for you.

👤 Base Game Fixes

  • Aging Up Glitch Fixed: Sims no longer look distorted or weird if they age up and travel right after. Before, they could get glitched faces or bodies.

  • Career Outfit Portraits: When a Sim starts a new job, their portrait now shows the correct work outfit.

🛍️ Get to Work / Retail-Type Packs

  • Disappearing Employees Bug: Employees in your business (like in a retail store or vet clinic) won’t disappear randomly when loading your save through Manage Worlds or CAS.

❄️ Seasons Pack Fixes

  • New Year’s Resolution interaction now shows up properly.

  • Scout Badge UI: If your Sims were in Scouts, the badge tracker sometimes had blank or broken text. That’s fixed now.

📅 What’s Coming Next?
