The latest Sims 4 patch fixes a few of the bigger glitches in City Living, the game’s most recent DLC. Players have reported over a dozen glitches in the new expansion pack. The Sims team addressed four crucial problems with City Living (and finally fixed Sims who won’t stop dancing.)

  • Sims will no longer continuously eat and order food at the food stalls.
  • Babies no longer get stuck in apartments. Any babies currently stuck get unstuck.
  • The Trophy of 73 is no longer locked in Build/Buy. (The only way to get this award is to win 73 basketball competitions.)
  • No more homey lot trait buff quickly cycling when performing related activities.

Other City Living fixes include:

  • More than one Sim in a household can now get festival whims when traveling to a festival, even if it has already begun.

  • Ladies, outdoor bathrooms are now open.

  • The Pufferfish death is active. And now, all trait images will appear for a ghost who died by Pufferfish when you add the ghost to your household.

  • Politics buff now has words. The best words.

  • If your child Sim is nice, and plays well with others, the neighbor child Sim might come over to visit.

  • Have no fear, you can ignore a neighbor’s complaint without affecting your relationship with your roomie. And, that’s not all… your Sim will listen to complaints and the interaction will not drop from the queue.

Some players are still reporting their Sims are coming home from work/school right after leaving the house, Sims endlessly painting, apartment neighbors complaining about non-existent noise and landlords never leaving the apartment, but the Sims team did take care of the most problematic bugs.

More General Fixes:

  • Get To Work related-The Police Chief is squeaky clean and is beyond reproach. He can no longer be a suspect in a crime.

  • Improved general performance when having a large number of files in the Tray folder.

  • Fixed an issue causing some save games to return immediately to the map screen when attempting to enter a lot.

  • Your paintings, photos and terrain paints will now persist when transferring from the Gallery.

  • Addressed an issue that was affecting some players’ saves where restaurants / retail lots could not be open/closed by pressing the open/closed button.

  • Stats for an adopted Sim appear in their Simology Panel.

  • All you kleptomaniacs out there: If you don’t get caught, the stuff will now appear in your inventory, if you do get caught, do the right thing.

  • Call Jasmine. It’s ok. She will no longer knock endlessly.

  • If you’re running Windows XP you can now use the Gallery again, but seriously, you should really consider upgrading.

  • Food can be dragged into all worlds now. Dragged food… sounds yummy.
