The Sims 4 Update 1.86 Patch Notes

Hey fam,

Bug Fixes

Base Game

• The Base Game’s loading screen tip about making cupcakes has been updated to reflect our recently Freed Cupcakes!
• We all know how eager the Landgraabs are for a bit of dough, but after a productive conference with The Landgraab Power Company, we are pleased to share that power will no longer be shut off early if a bill is not paid within the first 48 hours.
• Artists and Authors fear not! Masterpiece Paintings and Best-Selling Books will no longer change to “Excellent Quality” after saving and reloading. Phew!
• To prevent confusion, we’ve updated some error text to mention EA app instead of Origin if you are playing The Sims 4 through the EA app.

Seasons

• We’ve fixed an issue where Sims could not gift honey to wild animals. Now, you may gift out honey to your heart’s content!
• Your Sims will no longer get Canning-related sentiments when Father Winter gives them a gift unrelated to canning. Don’t worry; you’ll always be jamtastic!

Island Living

• Body scars will now appear on your Sims’ Mermaid Forms.

Discover University

• Juice Pong and Keg activities now count as Pub Games during Club Activities.
• The ‘Start Fizzing’ interaction will now be correctly displayed at the Fizzing Station.

Eco Lifestyle

• Sims will no longer have difficulty putting Dye Objects discovered from the dumpster into their inventory.

For Rent

• The Main Menu screenshots for this pack have been updated to the proper resolution.

Poolside Splash

• Our stunning Poolside Nails no longer leave a texture artifact on the open button-up shirt that comes with this Kit.
