The Sims 4 Laundry List for June 23rd, 2026<\/p>\n
Hi Simmers!<\/p>\n
Welcome to the Laundry List, where we share the top community concerns that we\u2019re currently investigating and plan to resolve. This update includes over 10 fixes for the most-voted issues on the EA Forums, improvements to Live Mode notifications and phone calls, a move of scratch files to AppData for Mac users, and addresses a variety of other bugs and issues reported by the community.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Sims Team<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s the list of the top community concerns we\u2019ve addressed for our next update:<\/p>\n
Fixes for Most Voted Issues:<\/p>\n
[EA Forums<\/a>] Windows and doors now display correctly and remain properly aligned with the walls across all graphics settings (Low, Medium, and High), without clipping or glitching into the walls. If occurring during Low Settings load, please follow the prompt and restart your game to see the update.<\/p>\n [EA Forums<\/a>] We fixed an issue where partnered Sims could form an unexpected relationship upon leaving Create a Sim. This fix isn\u2019t retroactive in Saves where the relationship change already occurred, but it is retroactive in old saves where the relationship change hasn\u2019t yet occurred. Note: There is still another cause of this behavior that we\u2019re still investigating.<\/p>\n [EA Forums<\/a>] We addressed an issue where the game could become stuck on the thumbnail UI when a user clicks on a gallery item after changing the filters.<\/p>\n [EA Forums<\/a>] The game will no longer soft lock when attempting to download a Custom Tattoo from the Gallery.<\/p>\n [EA Forums<\/a>] We fixed an instance of endless loading (save corruption) that could occur when trying to place certain lots from the Gallery. This was happening because these lots had an overuse of placement cheats that were corrupting the lots\u2019 footprints. We adjusted how Navmeshes behave to account for these instances.<\/p>\n [EA Forums<\/a>] A top community concern around \u201cSims performing Mean interactions\u201d was investigated. We found while this was previously happening, these were old bugs that we\u2019d previously addressed in past patches. When we investigated new reports and player saves we found this was being caused by the \u201cVicious Dynasty Ideal\u201d from Royalty & Legacy and was by design. We wanted to address this feedback however, so Sims with the Vicious Dynasty Ideal will no longer autonomously run Mean interactions. They will still get Prestige Points when a player manually runs Mean socials.<\/p>\n [EA Forums<\/a>] We fixed an issue where Child Sims could be automatically added to a Dynasty, and players would receive the \u201cJoined Dynasty\u201d notification on repeat when entering or leaving Create a Sim. (Legacy & Royalty)<\/p>\n [EA Forums<\/a>]\u00a0[EA Forums<\/a>] Fixed an issue where Doctors couldn\u2019t perform interactions with their Patients or use the \u201cDeliver Food\u201d interaction. (Get to Work)<\/p>\n [EA Forums<\/a>] Fixed an issue that was preventing Sims from adopting Cats and Dogs. (Cats & Dogs)<\/p>\n [EA Forums<\/a>] Fixed an issue that was preventing Sims from performing the \u201cFeel the Love\u201d interaction properly on a cat or small dog. (Cats & Dogs)<\/p>\n [EA Forums<\/a>] Fixed an issue that prevented Sims from bathing small Dogs. (Cats & Dogs)<\/p>\n [EA Forums<\/a>] Sims are once again able to complete the Hair and Makeup task on an Actor Career gig. (Get Famous)<\/p>\n Improvements for Live Mode TNS Notifications & Phone Calls<\/p>\n We\u2019ve taken a thoughtful pass at Live Mode notifications to make everyday gameplay feel smoother, more intentional, and less overwhelming. By reducing repetitive phone calls, giving you greater control over festival and phone notifications, and adding meaningful story context to who calls and why we aim to cut down on spam and keep immersion front and center.<\/p>\n Control Over Notifications<\/p>\n We\u2019ve added a Festival Notifications section to the Game Options menu that will allow players to determine which Festivals they receive notifications for on a pack by pack basis. (Multiple Packs)<\/p>\n The \u201cSilence Phone\u201d button should now properly prevent all phone calls. There were some that were slipping through. (Base Game)<\/p>\n Notifications Make More Sense for Story<\/p>\n Gone are the days where Sims would call for dating advice when they barely knew you! Now, only Friends will do this. (Base Game)<\/p>\n Actually\u2026 Why not do this for all Neighborhood Stories? All Neighborhood Stories phone calls will now require your Sims to be at least friends before they reach out. (Base Game)<\/p>\n [EA Forums<\/a>] Sims in the Freelancer Career will no longer receive Gig calls and pop ups from careers they are not in. (Base Game)<\/p>\n Sims should now need to be Friendly before they call to invite your Sims to a Festival or Getaway, adding story context to these calls. (Multiple)<\/p>\n [EA Forums<\/a>] Stay Over calls can now happen multiple times. They may occur any time after fourteen days have passed since the initial call. This fix is retroactive in old saves. (Growing Together)<\/p>\n Sims that are\u00a0actively present on the lot\u00a0will no longer\u00a0call\u00a0to ask about your adult Sim\u2019s childhood for the Formative Moments feature. It was a little weird. How were they even doing that?! (Adventure Awaits)<\/p>\n Good O\u2019l Grim is a little pickier on who he\u2019ll try to recruit now. He\u2019s the Grim Reaper after all \u2013 he has options! He\u2019ll only call Sims to offer a job if they are Macabre. (Life & Death)<\/p>\n Less Spam<\/p>\n [EA Forums<\/a>] Hey, we heard you just became friends with\u2026\u00a0JUST KIDDING. We\u2019ve removed some repetitive phone calls in Live Mode based on feedback from Reddit, Discord, and the EA Forums. Players will no longer receive the following phone calls:<\/p>\n Hey, I heard you became friends with {0.SimName}! {M0.He}{F0.She}\u2019s pretty cool! (Get Together)<\/p>\n Hey, I heard you became enemies with {0.SimName}. That {M0.guy}{F0.girl} is a jerk! (Get Together)<\/p>\n Hey, I heard you and {0.SimName} are good friends now. You\u2019re getting more popular \u2013 clearly you\u2019re a good person to know! (Get Famous)<\/p>\n Do you want Earbuds? Great! They are still available for purchase from the computer. We will, however, no longer be reminding you about them.\u00a0<\/p>\n We\u2019ve decreased how frequently players will get dancing and Bar Night invites from other Sims. (Get Together)<\/p>\n Bess Sterling will not call as quickly or as frequently anymore. However, once she does call \u2013 if you accept, you are still at her mercy. Good luck. (Eco Lifestyle)<\/p>\n We\u2019ve decreased how frequently players will get Community Closeness Calls. (Eco Lifestyle)<\/p>\n We\u2019ve removed the \u201cCome check out ThrifTea!\u201d TNS notification reminder. (High School Years)<\/p>\n We\u2019ve decreased how frequently players will get romance-related phone calls. (Lovestruck)<\/p>\n The Discovery Quest for \u201cStarting a Dynasty\u201d should only occur once per save now. (Legacy & Royalty)<\/p>\n In general, we\u2019ve decreased how frequently players will get invites from other Sims. (Multiple Packs)<\/p>\n Scratch Files Move to App Data for Mac Users<\/p>\n As part of\u00a0our investigation into Save Corruption<\/a>, following our\u00a0March 10<\/a>\u00a0update, we moved Scratch files from Documents to AppData for PC players to prevent conflicts with cloud backup services. Since the rollout has completed, we have observed improvements in Infinite Load occurrences. For this June update, we\u2019re making those same changes for Mac users.\u00a0<\/p>\n General Bug Fixes<\/p>\n Alongside our improvements for Live Mode notifications, this update will address 50+ highly voted community issues across the Base Game and packs. Key fixes include:<\/p>\n [EA Forums<\/a>] Stacked items, Photos and Paintings become stuck to the cursor when attempting to move them to the Sim\u2019s inventory.<\/p>\n [EA Forums<\/a>] A series of fixes for duplicated Sim issues.<\/p>\n [EA Forums<\/a>] A fix for Sims doing limited romantic interactions.\u00a0<\/p>\n![\"Sims](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ts4-laundry-list-jun-23-asset-1-1024x576.jpeg\" "\\"The")
