7 Things You Need to Know About The Sims 4’s June 30, 2026 Update

The Sims 4 Update for June 30, 2026 is here, and these Sims 4 Patch Notes are packed with fixes players have been asking for. Ever had a Sim you just met call you out of nowhere for dating advice, or your phone blow up with festival invites you never asked for? The Sims 4 team heard you. This update is not about a new pack or a flashy gameplay system, it is a big batch of fixes the community has been asking for on the EA Forums, Reddit, and Discord.

If you play on PC, Mac, Xbox, or PlayStation, here is everything worth knowing about patch 1.125.59.1030 / 1.125.59.1230 (Console 2.35).

1. Live Mode Notifications Get a Major Cleanup

Random phone calls interrupting your build session are getting toned down. A brand new Festival Notifications section has been added to the Game Options menu, letting you choose which festivals, events, and fairs you actually want alerts for, pack by pack.

The Silence Phone button was also fixed. It should now properly block all incoming calls instead of letting some sneak through.

2. Phone Calls Finally Make Story Sense

Sims used to call for dating advice the moment they met your Sim. Not anymore. Now they need to actually be Friends first, and the same rule now applies across all Neighborhood Stories calls. Freelancers will stop getting gig calls from careers they are not even part of, and festival or getaway invites now require a Friendly relationship before they happen.

Even Grim got pickier. He will only call to recruit Sims who have the Macabre trait.

3. Twelve of the Most Upvoted Community Bugs Got Squashed

This patch tackles twelve of the most requested fixes from the EA Forums, including the long standing window and door clipping glitch that showed up across all graphics settings, plus Gallery issues with thumbnails, endless loading, and Custom Tattoos.

4. Mac Players Get the Fix PC Got Back in March

Following the same change that helped reduce Infinite Load issues on PC, scratch files are now being moved from Documents to AppData on macOS too. This should meaningfully cut down on Infinite Load occurrences and graphical flickering for Mac Simmers.

5. Occult Sims Stop Glitching Out

A handful of visual and crashing bugs tied to occults across three packs have been fixed. Mermaid tails no longer vanish, fairy wings stay visible after traveling, and werewolves keep their nose color options after a trip to school.

6. Marketplace Buying Gets Simpler

A new Buy button now automatically redeems the closest amount of Moola for the Kit or Maker Pack you want, so a 300 Moola pack can be purchased directly for its MSRP (like $2.99) at checkout. Nine new Moola bundle options were added too: 300, 400, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1100, 1200, and 1300.

This is live for PC and Xbox right now, with PlayStation getting the same option in a future update.

7. Over 70 Additional Fixes

On top of everything above, more than 70 general bug fixes made it into this patch, covering things like Royalty and Legacy’s repeating Dynasty notification, Doctors not being able to interact with patients, duplicate NPCs, and rent calculation issues in For Rent.

None of this changes the core Sims 4 experience, but it smooths out a lot of the small annoyances that build up over time. Fewer random calls, more control over festival alerts, a more stable game on Mac, and dozens of long standing bugs finally put to rest. This is exactly the kind of patch that makes everyday gameplay feel less like a chore and more like, well, actually playing The Sims.
