The Sims 4’s fix for unexpectedly rude Sims has been delayed until DecemberThey’ll be rude jerks for a while longer

They’ll be rude jerks for a while longer

In a flashback to their high school years, some iconic Sims demonstrate the new wants and fears system in The Sims 4. At a pool party, Eliza is afraid of getting in the water, while Bob just wishes he could go home. Bella and Mortimer have messing around on the brain, while Geoffrey dreams of romance (but can’t get Nancy to look up from her phone).

At this point, I’d consider the wacky bugs continually introduced toThe Sims 4as more of a feature than a bug. For example, a recent update turned previously placid Sims into moody, argumentative jerks who were constantly scrapping with one another. That sounds great to me, although if you disagree there’s bad news. EA Maxis say that their fix, intended to release this past week, has been delayed until early December.

The Sims' Direct Communications Twitter account, an official game account that tweets about patches, announced the slip:

Simmers, our tuning fix for overly aggressive/mean Sims was intended to come out today however the fix will be delayed to early December. We sincerely apologize for the delay.https://t.co/u4ZfPVRfQF— The Sims Direct Communications (@TheSimsDirect)November 17, 2022

The Sims 4 is no stranger to odd bugs, even this many years after release. Patches were released back in October to fix severalwerewolf related issues, and to once again kick the accidental incest can down the road.

I can understand, of course, why these sorts of bugs are endlessly frustrating for Simmers who use the game to roleplay and tell stories, rather than just building nice kitchens.The Sims 5 is in early developmentand hopefully it’ll prove more robust.
