Notice: A Sims 4 Mystery Patch Rumored for Release (Patreon)

TLDR: A pretty hefty Game Patch is rumored for February 25th, 2025 which might break a lot of mods!

There’s rumors swirling that tomorrow, February 25th, there is a patch releasing. This patch may be a pre-patch for the March 6th Game Business & Hobbies Expansion Pack, which would be unusual for Maxis. Typically, such a pre-patch is released the Tuesday or Thursday before the expansion pack. Still out of an abundance of caution, I’m warning you to please pause updates for the Sims 4 until the dust settles after tomorrow’s patch. You can read more about the upcoming Expansion here: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/buy/addon/the-sims-4-businesses-and-hobbies-expansion-pack

If it releases, your favorite Modders will be working to pick apart the many changes the pre-patch and later the expansion will bring to the game. While it can be difficult to predict how long your favorite mods will be out of commission, it typically takes us (TURBO, Basemental, and me) few hours to about 2 days to release a patch depending on how many fundamental systems are altered... and this pack looks like it may bring many! I’ll be in discord while patching tomorrow for those who want a more up to the moment prediction for how the patch is going, but for those who don’t use discord, I’ll be silently updating this post here as the process progresses, to keep you informed with how the patch is coming.Again, If you plan to play your modded sims 4 while we are working on the patch, then I highly recommend you disable updates. You can do this by opening the EA app, looking for the 3 horizontal bars in the upper left corner -> Settings -> hit the download tab just below settings (It’s not immediately obvious it’s a tab) then click off update games automatically, I’d probably disable ‘Enable Background Downloads’ just to be safe too. Then hit the 3 horizontal bars again and hit ‘go offline.’ This should prevent the sims 4 from auto-updating while your Mod Authors work on patches for you. If you want to be extra tinfoil, so shiny and chrome, you can disconnect your computer from the internet too, but that’s probably a bit cray cray, but we love things a bit crazy here don’t we?

 Thank you for your patience and understanding while your modders work on getting things patched. I want to apologize for the difficulties I’ve been having with productivity and to let you know that I very much appreciate all of your support. I’ve started working on an overhaul to prostitution which will be released in parts. Starting with an overhaul to the debt system which I’m working to release asap and ending with the introduction of a new Escort career.
