Hey Simmers! ✨
We’ve got some important news from The Sims Direct Communications about a patch coming tomorrow (July 16th) for The Sims 4, and it’s something many have been waiting for.
👶 Pregnancy Bug Fix Is Coming!
After the July 1st game update, a lot of players noticed strange issues with Sim pregnancies. The devs have confirmed these problems were caused by performance optimization changes made in that patch.
To fix this, tomorrow’s update will revert those pregnancy changes, which should bring things back to normal. 🎉
✅ This means no more weird pregnancy bugs caused by the July 1 update.
Thanks to everyone who shared reports on the EA Forums, your feedback really helped get this sorted quickly!
🌿 Enchanted by Nature: Ailments & Tuning Being Reviewed
If you’ve been playing with the new Enchanted by Nature expansion and noticed that ailments (like Balance & Imbalance effects) are a bit intense or happening too often, you’re not alone.
The Sims team is currently looking into it.
While they continue investigating the tuning, there’s a quick workaround you can use right now:
Go to Game Options > Pack Settings > Enchanted by Nature
and uncheck “Enable Balance & Imbalance”
This will reduce (or remove) the frequency of ailments related to that system. 🧚♀️ It’s a great temporary fix if you feel like your Sims are getting hit with too many effects.
You’ll also find other toggles like:
- Limit Fairies to Inisgreen 🌲
- Enable Luck 🍀
Check them out and see what works best for your gameplay.
That’s all the confirmed info for now!
Happy Simming! 💚
