The Sims 4 Update 25/02/2025 Patch Notes
Base Game Bug Fixes
You can now place objects next to raised platforms, even if the platform is on the other side of a wall, without running into the “Can't intersect obstructing objects” error message.
Male Sims with a feminine frame can now wear certain tops without any spine distortion.
Great news, navigators of narrow spaces! Sims have sharpened their obstacle-avoidance skills and no longer find themselves stuck in walls. Say goodbye to unexpected wall-phasing and teleportation tricks!
When placing larger lots onto smaller ones, basements will now stay put as long as they fit within the boundaries. If they’re a bit too big, they’ll just be trimmed down to fit snugly without disappearing. Happy building!
Money matters sorted! Whether you’re pulling a family from the Gallery in Create a Sim or placing them directly in the world, your Sims will now enjoy the best of both worlds financially. No more surprise riches or unexpected poverty—just balanced household funds for all!
Privacy restored! The mysterious disappearing bathroom walls at the Willow Creek Gym have been found. Your Sims can now work out and wash up without any peek-a-boo surprises!
Altering your Sim's look with the Get Famous Stylist Chair, getting a Tooth Extraction from Growing Together, or putting on that fabulous Crystal Creations Jewelry will no longer lead to unexpected body or face transformations.
Renaissance Sims will now need to actually climb the career ladder to complete Renaissance aspiration career level tasks. No more shortcuts through University—time to earn those promotions the hard way!
Upgrade time! Mentor interactions are back for washing machines, so your Sims can learn the ropes of repair without a hitch.
No more fashion faux pas! Nina Caliente's body and clothes textures appear flawlessly across all graphics settings again.
Several Skill icons enjoyed playing hide-and-seek in the interaction menu! They're now back where they belong.
The Cozy Wreaths from the Cozy Celebrations Event have shed their Scroogy ways and now happily let Sims enter your front door to celebrate Winterfest instead of blocking their path.
Enjoy seamless imaginary conversations for your toddlers—chats with stuffed animals are now more performant than ever!
The ElectroDance Floor can now be found in the “Life Event Activities” category under “Activities and Skills” in Build Mode. Dance floor dilemma solved!
Body sliders in Create a Sim are back on track! Adjusting the belly, butt, and thighs of male Sims will no longer transform certain full-body outfits into avant-garde fashion.
This SDX goatee (ymFacialHair_SDX037Goatee) has found its rightful place under the Goatee category. No more hide-and-seek for your Sim's facial hair! (Was there a memo we missed about a great hide-and-seek event? Scratches head)
On the contrary, this SDX scarf (yfAcc_NecklaceSDX037Scarf) really wanted to be seen and appeared twice in the catalog. This has been fixed now.
