The Sims Franchise is 21 Years Old and, to commemorate, in collaboration with a group of creators from The Sims 4 Community, EA just released today's patch, version 1.71.86.1020, which brings...
A bunch of new furniture items in multiple colors for you to enjoy!
š± This is just a sample of what you will find, I didn't share everything to avoid spoiling your enjoyment, but there's also Create a Sim items, a cute set of mirror and much more! I am quite happy to see the variety of items and with the fact that they were collaborations between Electronic Arts and many of our favorite Custom Content creators like HeyHarrie, peachyfaerie, storylegacysims, peacemaker_ic, Luumia, icemunmun, grimcookies, FeralPoodles, and AHarris00Britney! š„°

Patch Notes
Coming of Age at 21 in 2021!
As of February 4th, The Simsā¢ is officially 21 years old. To be quite honest with you all, I have a lot of feelings regarding that as not only it confirms that I'm getting older, but also it makes me think about everything that The Sims has meant to so many people over these past 21 years.
My own personal - professional - journey in The Sims started in 2010 and since then I have seen every pack, every feature, and every comment from our wonderful community. Most importantly I have made great friendships with coworkers (former and current) and I have enjoyed a lot of the content our community shares and talks about on a daily basis.
This year we have nine amazing creators from The Sims community sharing their talent with all of us in honor of this joyous occasion. As of today, you can see in your game 21 new creations present in your game, some in Build Mode and some in Create a Sim, designed by these members of our community. They are in both game areas with a Green Icon representing a present and they are tagged with the Special -> Birthday filter.
We have partnered with the wonderful HeyHarrie, peachyfaerie, storylegacysims, peacemaker_ic, Luumia, icemunmun, grimcookies, FeralPoodles, and AHarris00Britney. They have created unique and fun items for everyone to enjoy, so we hope that you like them as much as we do.
Along with these items we have a number of fixes and tweaks that we managed to deliver in this update. So thanks as always for your patience and support in reporting and helping our Live Operations team review and set these fixes in motion.
On behalf of Maxis I want to wish everyone a Happy 21st, and remember that You Make The Sims!
Happy Simming!

Fixes
Sims 4
- Fixed an issue in Create a Sim that did not allow Body presets to be present as an option for Children and Toddler Sims.
- For Simmers that experience a Last UI Exception error in Create a Sim while selecting Skin Tones, the issue has been resolved.
- The UI team has fixed a few imperfections in Create a Sim/Pet:
- Pet breedās thumbnails will no longer look disproportionate in the Coat Color/Pattern section in the case of Simmers that own Cats and Dogs.
- Simsā makeup sliders will no longer overlap with color swatches and highlighting color swatches will no longer make them look offset.
- Fixed an issue in which the Skin Tones sliders didnāt appropriately hide when changing to other parts of the Sims to customize.
- Saving customized color swatches will no longer create duplicates of the base color swatch used to create the custom color.
- The Save button will no longer function inconsistently when utilizing the opacity sliders. Did it save? But did you save it? Did it actually save? But did it save?
- Gallery Notifications on the Main Menu needed to be more opaque as they were a bit unreadable and quiteā¦ ghostly. Good to know that was the resolve because this editor was second-guessing her contactsā prescription for a while there.
- As always this editor and the Localization team made some adjustments and perfected some of the text in-game across all packs and previous updates.
Get to Work
- They (EA Devs) were contacted by the Aliens, and they have "helped them" reinstate their missing Skin Tone color in Create a Sim. Now all 8 Alien skin options are visible again.
Cats and Dogs
- Robot Vacuums will actually clean up messes instead of just roaming around your Lot. Especially those created by Children and Toddlers - Big Yikes! Glad that the warranty was still in place though.
Seasons
- Was your game save feeling the pressure to not continue with the Winterfest spirit? This fix that should help with the culling of extra Father Winters... affecting some saves. The Culling (itās like The Happening, so something will happenā¦ we hope) should start when loading into a Lot. Simmers with low-end machines and many, many Father Winters... in saves, may take some time (possibly hoursā¦ that is real-life hours, not Sim hoursā¦ just in case) for The Culling to complete. Afterward, Simmers should see an improvement in performance when playing these saves.
Eco Lifestyle
- The āStore No More Home Fabricatorā will now properly display the number of Bits and Pieces that are owned by Sims.
Nifty Knitting
- Children will no longer look like they have put a leg through a rocking chair when reacting happily to rocking. Nothing to see hereā¦ nothing to see here folks.
Console
- Fixed an issue in the control scheme screen - if you are not familiar with this screen, press L3 (Playstation 4) or LS (Xbox One) itās awesome... anyway! The issue is that the screen did not display the āEdit Colorā option when in Create a Sim. We also fixed an issue in which the options for the L1 (PlayStation 4) and LB (Xbox One) were not showing up on the same screen.
- When randomizing Skin Tone colors, pressing the X Button (PlayStation 4) or the A Button (Xbox One) will select and apply the correct tone.
- Cleansed the Create a Sim of the āPlay buttonā control option that would appear randomly in the dynamic controller layouts.
- Alignments on the Main Menu Home and Packs tab as they were not looking quite right when Simmers switched to Mouse and Keyboard.
Hi after the update my games says cannot start because the below file appears to be corrupted. Ep08\ClientDeltaBuild0 (2).package. In yandex that file has a red x next to it.
Hi! Right click the file, select "keep online only". Right click the file again, select "save to computer" again.
Wait for it to sync. Let me know how it goes. But you might not even need to do it because it might be synchronized already?
I fixed it somehow lol
Yay! Sometimes it does that, then it synchronizes after flipping between red/blue. Happy simming!
cant we download it without all in one automatic?
No.
