Hi Simmers! Welkom bij de Waslijst, waar we de community op de hoogte houden van wat er nog meer in De Sims 4 zit! We denken erover om deze serie een nieuwe naam te geven en we horen graag jullie mening! De Waslijst is waar we updates delen over de onderwerpen waar jullie het meest over praten, dus het is logisch dat jullie meedenken over de naam. Moeten we de huidige naam behouden, iets meer beschrijvend kiezen of iets totaal nieuws proberen? Deel je mening met ons op Discord via ons feedbackforum dat nu beschikbaar is!
Nu we met de update van 4 november meer dan 150 fixes hebben doorgevoerd, blijven we ons inzetten om de meest gemelde zorgen van de community op te lossen. Veel van de resterende, meest gemelde zorgen van de community zijn lastiger op te lossen, omdat ze nauw verbonden zijn met andere spelsystemen en meer tijd kosten om veilig op te lossen. Dat betekent dat je mogelijk minder fixes van dit team zult zien, maar dat elke fix een grotere impact zal hebben en zal bijdragen aan een stabielere game. We weten ook dat de community zich zorgen maakt over carrières en dat Simmers hierin hebben geïnvesteerd. Hieronder zie je een aantal investeringen in dit gebied.
Begin 2026 hebben we weer een reeks oplossingen voor je, waarover meer onder de oplossingen van december. Deze oplossingen staan los van het lopende onderzoek naar problemen met opslagbestanden, waarover we hier een uitgebreide update hebben gepubliceerd . Even een korte samenvatting: we hebben een oplossing uitgebracht voor wooneenheden die een wit scherm veroorzaken, en ons onderzoek naar grote opslagbestanden en fout 801 biedt goede aanknopingspunten voor toekomstige oplossingen. We hebben ook artikelen gepubliceerd met richtlijnen voor prestatiegericht spelen en hoe je een back-up van je opslagbestanden kunt maken voor extra gemoedsrust. Je kunt al deze artikelen en meer lezen op onze EA Forums Sims Game Info Hub .
Zoals altijd geldt: als je last hebt van crashes, oneindig laden of veel games mist, lees dan ons bericht hier om te zien hoe je de betreffende opslaggegevens kunt delen. Zo kunnen we belangrijke informatie verzamelen voor ons onderzoek.

Hieronder vind je een lijst met de grootste communityproblemen die in onze update van 2 december worden opgelost:
Top 5 Most Voted Fixes:
- [EA Forums] Child, Teen, Young Adult, Adult, and Elder Sims will once again no longer have clothing visible under their privacy mosaic. However, the cause of the issue is different for other ages and we’re still investigating those instances to hopefully fix in an upcoming update. (Base Game)
- [EA Forums] Sims are now able to travel between world/lots without the Seasons screen popping up. (Seasons)
- [EA Forums] Male Gallery Sims will no longer have high-pitched voices. Their correct voice tone will be used. This fix is not retroactive and will only affect future saves going forward. (Lovestruck)
- [EA Forums] We fixed an instance of Save Corruption that was resulting in Error code: 123:b378c837: In this Save, a Sim was dead, a ghost, and min LOD (Not actively engaged with by the player), which was causing some code around Small Business careers to crash the game on load. We made it so that if a Sim is referenced in this situation the game will not crash when trying to load. (Business & Hobbies)
- [EA Forums] Made progress on Children being taken away despite not being neglected. More investigation is required before we mark this one as fully resolved. (Life & Death)
Base Game:
- [EA Forums] The Nature Soundscapes radio station will no longer wake up Sims when they listen to it while sleeping.
- [EA Forums] Teens will retain their active Aspiration (so long as it is not a ‘Teen-specific’ Aspiration) when they age up into a Young Adult.
- [EA Forums] We rebalanced the “Mental Fog” moodlet to appear after 3-4 days of running the “Work Hard” career tone. It used to appear after 1-2 days of doing this.
- [EA Forums] The Arrrmed Living Chair had a duplicate color swatch. We didn’t want to remove a swatch, because that might break existing builds, so we decided to change one of those swatches to be a new variant. When choosing what color to go with, the artist thought this piece of furniture might nicely match some of the Enchanted by Nature furniture in style. But it felt odd to add just one swatch, so we added an additional two other variants, but then realized the Arrrmed Living Chair was part of a set, and we probably wanted those three new variants to match other pieces of furniture from Base Game—takes a breath—so in total there are a total of 27 new free swatches (9 objects with three new variants each). Here’s a list of the updated furniture pieces. Enjoy! (We know Princess Cordelia would!)
- Arrrmed Living Chair
- Deep Delight Living Chair
- Cuttlefish Love Seat
- Cuttlefish Sofa
- Arrrmed Dining Chair
- Captain Rodrigo de Pablo Dining Chair
- Arrrmless Dining Chair
- Cephalopod Bar Stool with Back Support
- Cephalopod Bar Stool
- [EA Forums] The Main Menu will no longer show “WWWWWW” when there isn’t an active Household to display on the Main Menu.
- [EA Forums] Sims will once again change into their outfits in front of Toddler Sims.
- [EA Forums] We fixed an issue where Moodlets and Quirk notifications could occur for a Young Adult Sim.
- [EA Forums] We fixed some texture issues with the IndustryMatters Brick Facade with Wood Trim wallpaper when applied to wall corners for two of the wallpaper’s variants.
- Sims without the Horse Ranch Expansion were able to get a Fear of Horses, but this can no longer happen.
- Good and Evil Sims will no longer mourn excessively at gravestones.
Adventure Awaits:
- [EA Forums] We partially addressed this Forum Thread with a significant fix. Pre-made Custom venues will now display and execute their premade Schedules in the Release mode version of the game. This means when you load into a premade Custom Venue, you will now see the proper schedules and gameplay. This was previously only working on our internal builds due to some code that needed changed.
- [EA Forums] cfTop_EP20PulloverLayered is now tagged as a Masculine style choice option.
- [EA Forums] All Adventure Awaits Toddler and Child hairstyles are now visible if you remove the Masculine/Feminine Style choice filters.
- The Gran Gran’s Flannel Curtain rods were using a different shader than the curtain set, but we’ve updated them to use the same shader. This was done on purpose since curtains and solid objects use different shaders, but in this case, it caused a difference in some lighting scenarios which made the objects look like they were different colors.
- ymTop_EP20FleeceCurve was missing fashion choice tags. These have been added.
Autumn Apparel:
- [EA Forums] Fingernails will no longer clip through the yfAcc_GlovesSP69Leather asset.
Business & Hobbies:
- [EA Forums] The ‘Stucko’s Top Stucco’ Wallpaper now extends fully to the floor when applied.
- [EA Forums] We added a missing purple variant color swatch to 8 doors and windows.
- Lang's Door
- Double Arched Nordhaven-Style Door
- Single Nordhaven-Style Door
- Arched Nordhaven-Style Window
- Nordhaven-Style Portal Window
- Nordhaven-Style Cottage Window
- Nordhaven-Style Window
- Nordhaven-Style Glass-Block Window
Cats & Dogs:
- [EA Forums] We fixed a situation where it looked like you couldn’t have more than 7 Sims in a Household. This was because the Household had an empty Sim slot ‘reserved’ for an “Adopt a Cat” story arc that the player couldn’t know was happening in the background. This story arc will now just wait until there is an available household slot and not prevent the addition of new members to the Household in the meantime.
- [EA Forums] We added timing restrictions on how often a Pet can explore the PooHoo Bush to every 3 days. Doing this causes them to get sick and was previously happening too frequently.
- Sims will no longer receive a text from their Pet about missing curfew.
City Living:
- [EA Forums] Sims in the Social Media Career will now automatically meet their Coworkers so that they can perform certain work from tasks. This fix will only occur on fresh saves. Cottage Living:
- Added a shadow to the Cottage Living pack icon.
For Rent:
- [EA Forums] Lines will no longer appear on Sims’ arms while wearing either the yfTop_EP15StackedPocketShirt or ymTop_EP15StackedPocketShirt shirt if nails are also equipped.
Get Famous:
- The “Attend Drama Club” interaction is now available as a Self-interaction and on other Household members when a Teen Sim is at max level in Drama Club and has left for rehearsal. This interaction will remain for 90 in game seconds afterwards to allow the player time to select it.
Greenhouse Haven:
- The AirCycler fan will no longer disappear when viewed from a different floor than the floor the player is currently on.
High School Years:
- [EA Forums] The Corndog food object is no longer using a block model (which appeared as invisible in the live version of the game). This also fixes the related issue where it didn’t appear in preview UI images.
Life & Death:
- [EA Forums] House Parties and Spooky Parties have been added as viable options for the Bucket List goal “I want to throw the most bizarre costume party of all time!”
- [EA Forums] Ghost Sims will no longer appear as a regular, living Sim while in the Reaper Career attempting to collect souls.
- [EA Forums] The Mentor Coworker interaction is available on a Co-Worker while they are performing “Practice Reaping’ on the training dummy.
- The “Ingest Ambrosia” interaction is now available to Ghost Sims when Ambrosia was made by Sims from another Household. This was preventing Sims who were in the Reaper Career from eating Ambrosia.
My Wedding Stories:
- [EA Forums] We fixed an issue where the “Exchange Vows” interaction could become greyed out on the Wedding Arch even though the necessary Sims were present for the ceremony.
Paranormal Stuff:
- The Terrified and Scared emotions are now available in Sim Stats.
Realm of Magic:
- [EA Forums] All variant textures display the logo of the bottle properly on the Classic Apothecary Cabinet.
Seasons:
- [EA Forums] Children and Teens can now donate on the computer when in the Scouts after school program.
Vampires:
- Non-Vampire Sims will no longer autonomously eat Plasma Fruit Salad.
Multiple Packs:
- [EA Forums] We fixed an instance of Save Corruption that was resulting in Error Code 109:4fe45107:239aa048: There was a Clone Sim in this Save game that has a Household with a status of “None” in our code. We fixed it so if a Household is in this state it will no longer crash the game upon trying to load. (Business & Hobbies & Get to Work)
- [EA Forums] We fixed an issue where sand sculptures were auto-generating on beaches when it rained a lot. This is still occurring if the Weather Machine is used by the player, but we have a fix planned for that instance in an upcoming patch. (Island Living & Seasons)
- [EA Forums] We made a change that allows gates with lanterns to have the lanterns light up the area around them. This should now work for the following gates:
- Spanish Inquisition (Base Game)
- Woodn't You Like to Know (Base Game)
- Maiden’s Gate (Base Game)
- Barn Door Double (Cats & Dogs)
- Cozy Craftsman Gate (Seasons)
- [EA Forums] Sims who dislike Mischief or Singing will no longer autonomously do mischievous behaviors or sing. (Basegame & City Living)
- [EA Forums] The Police Station, Foxbury Commons, and other work computers are now fixable after they’ve broken. (Get to Work, University, & More)
- [EA Forums] The Tomarani Introduction will now fulfill the “Greet Co-Worker” task in the Doctor Career. (Get to Work & For Rent)
- Fixed an issue with Temporary Stays where certain Sims couldn’t be invited to stay over from a Residential Rental lot. (Growing Together)
As we head into the new year, our team maintains focus on improving stability and performance across The Sims 4. We’re actively working on the following top community reported concerns, targeting our January Base Game update.
- [EA Forums] [EA Forums] We’ve confirmed that the Makeup Category for Toddlers is currently working live, but it requires custom content (CC) to appear. We’re still looking into reports that it stopped working after the Business & Hobbies release and that there may have been non-CC assets before, so we’d appreciate any screenshots or clues you can share to help us figure it out.
- [EA Forums] [EA Forums] We were able to load these saves using our Memory Boost feature, so it feels like a promising lead or (in some cases) a fix for PC players! However, we’re still in the process of testing this against different hardware scenarios. If you are experiencing these issues, please fill out our Missing Lot Data survey.
- [EA Forums] The server error when uploading to the Gallery or Library is the top community issue, and we’re actively working on a fix—though it has proven tricky.
- [EA Forums] We’ve identified the main cause of Sims standing around instead of caring for infants and toddlers and plan to provide an update soon.
- [EA Forums] Memorial Portraits and Graduation Photos no longer display a Sim’s image and appear blank is another top community issue we’ve made progress on and are targeting for a future update.
- [EA Forums] Sims attending a Work/School Rabbit Hole not remaining in the Rabbit Hole when loading a Save (where the Sims were Employees of an 'Open' Small Business) is another top issue that we think we’re testing a fix for.
- [EA Forums] “Sims using objects obsessively” is another issue we’re tackling. This is a rather complicated issue to solve that might take some time, but we have some creative solutions we’re discussing.
