When You Can Expect Sims 4 Patches to Roll Out

by

EA releases new Sims 4 updates and patches every third Tuesday or Thursday of the month. This day is known as Sims 4 Patch Day and starts at 10 AM PT, which is 1 PM ET or 6 PM BST.

Usually, the game gets one big update each month. Sometimes, if there’s an urgent fix needed, EA may release two updates: one on the first Tuesday of the month and another on the third Thursday.

Checking for Sims 4 Updates

To see if there’s a new Sims 4 update today:

  1. Open the EA app.
  2. Go to your Game Library.
  3. Select The Sims 4.
  4. If there’s a new update available, the EA App will inform you that you need to install it before you can launch the game.

If you want the most reliable info about when updates are coming and what they include, the best place to check is EA’s official Sims 4 News page. That’s where the accurate schedules and patch details are posted.

Sims 4 updates are delivered through the EA app, and the game will download and install them automatically unless you turn off this option.

You can also check EA’s official blog for the latest news on Sims 4 updates. Visit the News section to see details about recent updates.

Each Sims 4 update comes with detailed patch notes from EA. These notes list what’s new, what’s fixed, and any known issues. Check the patch notes to understand the changes made in each update.

There’s No Rollback Option

The EA app doesn’t offer a rollback option to previous versions of The Sims 4 game. If an update causes problems, you cannot revert to an earlier version directly through the app.

Problems After Sims 4 Updates

Before applying major updates, it’s a good practice to back up your save files. This helps protect your progress in case the update causes issues with your game.

Sometimes, Sims 4 updates can cause problems. Many mods may stop working after you install the latest patches.

This happens because mods and custom content (CC) might not be compatible with the new version of the game. Mod and CC creators need to update their content to fix these issues.

If you notice any glitches or errors after an update, report them to EA.

Happy Simming!
