We just received a new update that added DirectX 11 support to The Sims 4 and, with EA Changing policy requiring all users to keep their game updated (it was my understanding it was already a requirement to play on line, but not off line, EA App also didn't allow the game to be executed from within itself otherwise, so I am still unsure about what changes now) there's some sort of patch scheduled for June 6th, 2024, but with the same version number 1.107.112.1030...
The Sims 4 Update 1.107.112.1030 - Console 1.92
Hello!
The content for the patch seen below is still the same as the previous one, as they "both" have the same version number. I'll update this page accordingly as soon as I have more news. Maybe they will just patch a couple of defective files that were causing glitches to some users? Maybe the patch will change a setting or two? I noticed they'll force Origin "In Game" back on. Maybe that's related to the in game advertising they have planned? Stay tuned for news!

A message to our loyal community 💚
To our community,
We know that technical issues with The Sims 4 have interrupted your gameplay over time and we recognize that this has caused you much frustration.
Today, we can share that we have assembled a team to invest in the core game experience, including tackling your reported concerns.
This newly formed and focused team means we'll be able to increase both the number of fixes and the frequency with which we ship these batched updates.
Our first release is scheduled for the next patch later this month (May 28th, 2024), with others following roughly every two months. The details of this month's release are in the "Laundry List", which is available now on The Sims 4 Newsroom.
Additionally, we'll continue making core improvements to the performance of The Sims 4.
Our next patch will include some optimizations across platforms so the game uses less memory. As a result, you may experience fewer crashes, a better frame rate, and/or a more responsive simulation.
Thank you for continuing to play and invest in The Sims 4. Our team is more dedicated than ever to developing great The Sims 4 gameplay experiences into the foreseeable future, and we appreciate your support as these critical improvements roll out.
Dag Dag,
The Sims Team
The Sims 4 Update 1.107.112.1030 - Console 1.92 - Laundry List
Sul Sul Simmers!
Welcome to this month’s Laundry List, where we share the top community concerns we’re currently investigating and aim to resolve in an upcoming patch.
You may notice we’re investigating more issues than previous months; this is because we’ve assembled a team to invest in the core game experience, including tackling technical issues within The Sims 4 . We have continued to review reported concerns that have interrupted your The Sims 4 gameplay over time, and we recognize that this has caused much frustration. It’s why we have set out to form this focused team, which will be able to increase both the number of fixes we can address and how often we ship these batched updates. Our goal is to fix more reported concerns, both big and small, over the next six months and beyond to check off more boxes on our Laundry List. This is our first release, with others following roughly every two months. Keep an eye out for future Laundry List announcements for the latest run down of fixes.
We genuinely value your input so please continue to report any issues you experience via Answers HQ. This remains our primary source for information on player experiences. Any and all details are helpful, especially those surrounding where the issue was encountered so we can reproduce it as a part of our investigation. As is the case with any patch, please remember to remove any external game mods and custom content as they may conflict with the updates.
For our next patch, read below for the list of the community concerns we’re investigating and aiming to resolve.
- Note, this is only a list of topics from AnswersHQ and community-sourced feedback with upcoming fixes; there are more improvements to the game and topics reported by players that are not listed here but still being worked on.
- Additionally, we hope you can understand that some topics can be tricky and may require an extended investigation on our end, so even though we are actively reviewing, it’s not a guarantee that we’ll have an immediate total fix in the upcoming patch.
Thank you for all your patience and valuable help in reporting!
We’ll continue to check in, and together we can make this game the best it can be.
Happy Simming!

The Sims 4 Update 1.107.112.1030 - Console 1.92 - Patch Notes, Bug Fixes & Updates
Sul Sul Simmers!
It’s time for some late Spring cleaning! Let’s fix some things and make a few improvements. We’ve got quite the spread, with a host of resolutions for base game issues as well as addressing a wide assortment of packs. There’re also some performance gains, gallery updates, and DirectX 11 previews. We squeezed lots into this release, but there’s still more to come! Talk to you soon!

The Sims 4 - Base Game
- Oh you thought you could hide, dishes? We will find you and we will wash you. Dishes left in corners will no longer be ignored when cleaning up.
- Begone weeds! Plants won't grow weeds when Out of Season. If a plant has them when it becomes Out of Season, the weeds will be removed until it’s In Season again.
- Campfires will stop causing so many fires on the lot. Campfire spreadfire was triggering a 50% chance every 10 sim-minutes to burn objects other than chairs in the area. We removed that to only focus on when Fireworks trigger (which we all know is the real danger).

We would appreciate your feedback and any issues you experience on our DirectX 11 Answers HQ thread.
- Simmers running Windows and have DirectX 11 compatible hardware can now enter the argument -dx11 into the EA app or Steam to switch to using this renderer.
