The Sims 4 has a new game update out, just as the new expansion pack, Adventure Awaits, is released. It brings one tiny bug fix and changed the number of required playground objects from 6 to 4 when building playground lots.
If you have auto updates enabled in Origin’s “Application Settings”, the game will auto-update once you open Origin. If you have auto-updates disabled, you will need to manually update by clicking the game in your library.
To ensure your game is up to date, check the game version found in Documents > EA > The Sims 4 > GameVersion.txt. Your game should now read: PC/Mac: 118.257 / Mac: 1.118.257 / Console: Version: 2.21
Simmers,
We’ve released a small patch to resolve the community reported issues of water damaged Plopsy listings & a tuning change to lower the required items for playground venues from 6 to 4.
Thanks for your ongoing feedback.https://t.co/thFwTNOoIE pic.twitter.com/tmZeFfAb3n
