‧₊˚✧ Patch Day Survival Guide ✧˚₊‧

Hiii 𖹭,

Tomorrow 1/13, there will be a base game update for The Sims 4.

Please back up your Saves and Tray files, especially your Saves. This update is expected to address several long-standing save file issues, so protecting your data first is non-negotiable. If you want to know more essential fixes, check out my latest Simmer Talk: IYKYK.

Also, please refrain from downloading any of my content (or other creators’ work) tomorrow until the update dust settles. Your future game will thank you.

Here’s a little guide for you babes:

• Grab your favorite bev, because we’re staying hydrated while saving our games. 🍵ྀི ₊ ⊹

• Backup your saves + Tray files. Don’t risk your legacy family for the bit.

• Play offline if you’re not ready to update.
Here’s how:
 ❶ Open up your EA App.
 ❷ Click the hamburger lines (top-left corner).
 ❸ Go to Settings → Downloads.
 ❹ Toggle off “Update games automatically.”
For my visual learners, there’s a gif below showing exactly how it’s done.

• Check Scarlet’s Realm for mod updates before hopping back online.

ᯓᡣ𐭩 Lastly, please be patient with creators. This patch is a big one.

May the odds ever be in your favor,
