Base Game Update

  • [EA Forums] Opening clothing categories in Create a Sim wasn’t jumping to the clothing currently being worn by your Sim, this has been addressed, making it easier to get that perfect look by knowing which pack a clothing item came from.
  • [EA Forums] Using the eyedropper tool in Build Mode will take you to the Build catalog listing for that item.
  • [EA Forums] During Gallery uploads, players could encounter a timeout error. This has been addressed and should no longer occur.

Console

  • [EA Forums] Controller using Simmers reported that scrolling within Create a Sim was failing when entering different categories. The scrolling behavior has been addressed and you should be able to navigate properly once more.

Benji's basic traits are creative, goofball and foodie, but he likes to think he's unlocked a few others already. Born, raised and still living in São Paulo, Brazil, Benji has been playing since the day The Sims came out in 2000, and he likes to spend his time equally in live mode and build/buy, where he usually honors his heritage and creates lots inspired by Brazilian Modern architecture.
