The Sims 4 Update 1.53.115.1020 - Patch Notes
What’s New?
Create a Sim Stories
Is your Simming stuck in a creative rut? Try crafting a story within Create a Sim! By starting a new household, or adding a Sim to an existing household, you can take a fun quiz to determine your Sims personality and starting conditions. By creating a story your Sims will end up starting out with a career, various skills, and different levels of starting household funds! Of course, this is just an additional option that’s now available -- you’ll still be able to also create Sims the same way you always have.
New Look
The Sims 4 has a new look! Now that we’re entering the fifth year of The Sims 4, and the twentieth year of The Sims, we wanted to continue to invest in The Sims 4 so that it remains fresh and relevant for years to come. You’ll quickly spot changes like a brand new cast of Sims, new intro videos, new loading screens, new cover art, and new pack icons. The main menu has received the most significant additions; not only does it show off our new style, but you’ll discover the ability to play trailers from our most recent packs, and access quick links to The Sims on your favorite social platforms.
New Customization Options
Our new cast of Sims has some fresh new clothing and accessories to wear, and you’ll find all of their new content within Create a Sim. Check out their group shot by clicking through the art on the main menu! The base game has received new tops, bottoms, accessories, hairstyles, and a hat. Players who own certain packs will receive new swatches on some of the clothing and accessories they already own from those packs.
New Cheat
We’ve added a new cheat to the game! Open the cheat console and type in "bb.showliveeditobjects" to enable the cheat. To disable it, type "bb.showliveeditobjects false".
Enabling the cheat will unlock a new set of objects in Build Mode to decorate your lots with… rocks, trees, bushes, signs, and all sorts of environment objects. I lost count, but I think it’s somewhere around twelve-hundred new decorative objects. These objects are environment objects, which our artists use when creating worlds. As such they are not optimized for on lot use, so please be aware when using this cheat. The most obvious issue you may notice is that Sims will walk through these objects.
Hi! Hope you can help.
I followed the tutorial to my knowledge as instructed, for the 1.52.100.1020 PORTABLE download.
However, when I try to open it the pop up says 'unable to start: the contents of your user data directory were created by a newer version of The Sims 4 and cannot be loaded please update your game via origin to play."
I don't have origin running but I do have the bought base game installed, should I uninstall that? Please help! I've seen your normally quick to respond <3
Hi. You likely ran a newer version from another source (origin, for example) and it saved the information in your
Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4folder.You can delete the file GameVersion.txt inside your
Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4folder. Be aware you might break a couple of things here and there if there's any incompatibility.A safer option is to rename the current folder and run the game to create a new one with the "older" version until the new release 1.54 is available.
Hi! I've just downloaded the files but when it comes to install the visuals 2015 it gives me an error saying that file is already installed but as a different version and it can't be installed again. Instead, I've tried to install the visual 2017 and it gives another error stating that it could harm my pc. What can I do?
It's all good, you don't need to worry then. Weird that you got an error when trying Visual C 2017, but you don't actually need it, so it's all good, just ignore and move to the next step of the tutorial.
Thank you for your help! May I ask you another thing? I've tried to use the cheat code "bb.sholiveeditobjects" but it worked one time only and now I've tried to enable it again but i can't! Even other cheat codes don't work. Do you have any suggestion?
What's more, I don't have the possibility to create a Sim story, is it normal?
P.S. Thank you A LOT for the download and all the help! <3
That sounds weird, because those features came with version 1.53. Maybe try restarting your computer and check you're using the right key combination. If the worst happens, 1.54 will hopefully fix it.
Hi Sim Architect. I am trying to run the game but an error message keeps popping up saying "The code execution cannot proceed because OrangeEmu64.DLL was not found". i tried reinstalling the whole thing but the error message is still coming up. What should i do?
Your anti virus removed or quarantined the file, you need to open it and restore.
I successfully restored from my anti virus, it does show up when i search in the folder but the same error message is still popping up.
Weird. The problem should be fixed once you restore the two files the anti virus usually marks as a false positive. You also need to set it to allow the item. Besides that, it's wise to exclude the folder where your game (and your installer) is from the real time protection.
Thank you very much this game is very good..I literally have no complaints and Im enjoying playing the game,keep up the good work its appreciated
🥰 Thanks!!!
