Game Update Incoming (6/30/26)
Update coming tomorrow, big enough that they got in-game pop ups about it. If it's that serious, you know it's gonna break things.
Friendly Reminders:
Back up your Saves and Tray Files: copy them to another folder elsewhere on your computer, or to Dropbox/One Drive/wherever you save things you don't want to lose. So if something breaks, you can replace the broken folders.
Clear Your Cache: in the Sims 4 folder, delete localthumbcache and any old lastException and lastCrash files.
If you don't want to update, Go Offline: In EA App, go to the hamburger menu (top left) and click Go Offline. It will ask if you're sure, tell it Yes. You can play the game while you wait for mod updates.
If you are online when you try to open the game, it will automatically try to update. If you want to stop it, in EA App, go to the downloads manager (bottom left corner) and hit Pause before the download is finished. Then hit Cancel, and Go Offline.
Hopefully it's not a big deal this time, but better safe than sorry. I'd be furious to lose our game files to a broken update. Be safe y'all!
