Ladders? Flexible Doors & Windows Placement? New Billing System (Water/Power Usage Depends on Your Objects)? Firefighters or new Utopic / Dystopic Worlds? What's the most appealing new feature of today's update, which is available right now?
Are you ready to update your game with this new patch that brings you game version to The Sims 4 1.63.133.1020 and one step closer to The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle coming up in a few days? This update is being deployed to The Sims 4 Automatic as I update this post, and it will not be available as a torrent. So, if you want to update your game today go ahead and install The Sims 4 Automatic right now!
New Features
Free Windows and Doors Placement
Yes! Now you can place your windows and doors without snapping to grid! Isn't this neat? Sadly you are not able to stack them yet:
Still, that's quite nice and very handy if you like to build tiny houses or if you have that door you love so much that won't fit where you want because it was originally designed with the wrong positioning. Plus now we'll be able to center single width doors on walls that have an even number of tiles!
Ladders
Ladders finally came to the game! Even though spiral staircases did not follow suit, the new ladders are not only decorative, but also functional and buildable indoors or outside!
Besides being able to crawl your way up slowly you are also given the option to slide down as if it were a firehouse pipe. Yaaay!
Bill and Utilities
Now, when you click on your mailbox you have access to a new option called "Show Bills Information". It will open up the report above with details of your expenses, and objects now have a power and water consumption rating, plus the more times you use those objects, the more energy and/or water you'll consume. Isn't that neat? If they only remembered to add an auto pay option, so we don't have to bother paying bills manually every week! Well... Maybe someday?
Oh, and now the Repo Men will come for a visit not only if you're late on University Fees, but also when your bills are due for too long!
New Object Details (Power and Water Consumption)
As previously mentioned in the item above (New Bills), now each object will have a power and / or water usage rating. Depending on the quality of your objects and how much you use them, your utilities bills can be higher or lower.
Off the Grid Objects
Now you can also filter objects that work off the grid, on top of the fact that you can also run a power generator if you own Eco Lifestyle.
New Inventory
If you tend to have tons of items in your inventory you are going to LOVE this new feature! Now your items can be neatly organized!
Hello! I'm having a slight issue. I've been using your sims updates from your website for a while now (thank you for that by the way), but with this patch I installed- all my mods aren't even seen by the game. Every time I open the game I check enable mods and cc and script mods and apply the change, but when I close it and reopen it it doesn't save. I do put the mods in the documents<electronic arts<sims 4< mods. If you have an idea of what might've caused that it would be a great help. Thank you
Ok can someone explain to me when i click on my sim to load the game, it takes me back to the world page. I have taken out some of the mods and getting ready to load back in. I wanted to post this question to see what you guys might think is the problem.
Hi, I quite do not get it.
This update is not free, but is it included in the two more recent ones (that are free)? Or is your free cracks service over from this patch on? If it is, why not make the same article or update the current one?
PS: Your subscription thing is interesting (...) People search for mods bc they are free. But it do is interesting, even though I'd rather stick to seeing ads.
Maybe you can do this: premium gives one week early access on the free mod, no ads, on top of being updated automaticaly; while free = ads and one week late on the updates. That is to say, I suggest this in case you do stop the free mod service from this patch on. Bc you will obviously lose a lot of people.
Ads wouldn't be much, but considering the amount of people seeing them, it could be ok! And it would be on top of the subscriptions, so more interesting for you.
Hello, I'm sorry, I have problem with my Zlorigin. After I updated the new patch and downloaded Eco lifestyle via Zlorigin I can't play it. Whenever I tapped play it I got a windo message that I have to enter the serial code. So I restart the computer, excluded the zlorigin from windows defender, and suddenly I can't login to the zlorigin. I already authing the zclient but the zlorigin keeps give me "online login is currently unavailable."
It was normal before the update, I can login like usual. What am I supposed to do??
will there be an all in one portable update?
Hi hi when will the update be available to non premium subscribers? Thanks 🙂
hi when will this be available for free ?
Hihi, I have donated and registered. I have received Yandex shared folder, however my account not upgraded because I want to see the download instructions. thank you very much. this website is awesome 🙂
hey, thank you for updating this news.. I really appreciated your kindness to make me still updated about sims 4, I wanna ask... if the official eco-lifestyle pack just released, do I just have to update my sims 4 till the latest update or there will be a new all in one portable that I must download? (note: I already have all the latest update from this site)
Hi! I have a friend who hasn't updated her game since Discover University came out, but who is now very much interested in getting this next pack when it comes out and I'll be trying to help her remotely lol. How does the update work in this case? Will downloading just the latest patch work or does she need to do it incrementally in some way?
Also, I myself haven't bothered with updates after the one we got with tiny living, so similar case but less drastic I guess. Thanks for your time!
hey i have your automatic which is awesome! question- eco lifestyle isn't installed, it says click to download on my sims 4 homescreen and i can't obviously because it wants to connect to internet. any help?
hi, i pay today for monthly access, but i cant download patch, why? thank you for answer.
Hi! When will it be available as an update only (not the sims automatic)? thanks!
Hi I’m just wondering when the sims 4 automatic will be updated.
Love this site 💗
Hello! Do you know when it is going to be avaliable?
When is this patch available to download?
Hi, I have the latest all-in-one version, with Tiny Living, do I have to download the all-in-one version with Eco Lifestyle or will there be an update only version that I can download? I love this new update, do you know when it will be available to download here?
(Also I love your website)
I'm SOO excited for the free windows and doors placements! And the changes to the inventory are honestly my favorite edit. That's going to make game play so much better. I'm stressed for the havoc this is going to cause all my mods and cc. I have 4000 to deal with 😔 and I'm about to download more. Thanks for keeping us informed!
