The Sims 4: New Game Patch (July 18th, 2023)
There is a new game update for The Sims 4, preparing the game for the Horse
Ranch Expansion Pack release this Thursday (July 20th).
This patch brings several bug fixes as well as new features, like paintable
ceilings and “free camera mode” on Build/Buy Mode.
If you have auto updates enabled in Origin’s “Application Settings”, the
game will auto-update once you open Origin. If you have auto-updates
disabled, you will need to manually update by clicking the game in your
library.
To ensure your game is up to date, check the game version found in Documents
> EA > The Sims 4 > GameVersion.txt. Your game should now read: PC:
1.99.264.1030/ Mac: 1.99.264.1230 / Console: Version 1.75.
Hello Simmers!
Those horses will be comin’ round the mountain in just a few days. To get
ready for their arrival in *The Sims 4 Horse Ranch Expansion Pack,* we have
rounded up a number of exciting Base Game updates and bug fixes to share
with you. Let’s get into it.
-SimGuruGeorge
What’s New?
First off, let me introduce SimGuruAsh.
Heya, Simmers! Today’s update has an array of new hairs and Create a Sim
presets.
Braids and long, flowing hair is important to the cultural identity of
Indigenous People in America. To reflect this in-game, we are enthused to
add three hairstyles in the form of a Double Braid, Single Braid, and
Lengthened Hair that extends down to your Sims mid-back.
For our East Asian Sims, we have a large selection of new Eye Presets and
Brows in tapered, straight, and wavy shapes.
You’ll also see three new under-eye bags in the Eye Details category.
To bring something delicious to the table, the Three Sisters Chili is now
available to cook on the grill. In Native American tradition, “the three
sisters” are corn, beans, and squash. They grow best together in the same
plot. The eldest sister, corn, provides a strong foundation for the beans
to climb. The beans enrich the soil with nitrogen. The youngest sister,
squash, covers the ground, protecting all of their roots.
We can’t wait to see what kinds of Sims and stories you create with this
update!
SimGuruGeorge back now. Traits have had a bit of a reorganization. You will
now find traits more evenly distributed under the Emotional, Hobby,
Lifestyle, and Social categories
I’m so excited to tell you about Ceilings! The ability to apply colors and
patterns to the ceilings is now yours. When you open up Build Mode you will
find the update where you would previously apply *Floor Patterns* (now
renamed *Floor and Ceiling Patterns*). Simply select *Ceilings by Tile
*or *Ceilings
by Room*. Then select your pattern and apply it to the ceiling of your
choice. This does not apply to the underside of roofs.
You can now enter Free Camera in Build Mode to get the best look at those
Ceilings. Simply enable it as you would in Live Mode.
