2025 felt like the year EA finally looked at The Sims 4 and said, “Okay… maybe we should fix this.” And yes, we got patches. Big ones. Useful ones. But let’s be honest: The Sims 4 is still The Sims 4. Stable-ish, chaotic-ish, and a little too comfortable making our Sims walk into walls.
✅ What EA Actually Fixed in 2025
🔹 The Big Bug Purge
Crashes? Reduced. Save errors? Calmed down. Freeze-ups? Better.
🔹 New Skin Details & Body Options
More freckles, wrinkles, stretch marks, scars — plus better body sliders.
🔹 Pack Selection Toggle
Turn packs on/off without uninstalling. Revolutionary (but also: why now?).
🔹 Gallery Improvements
Better sorting, fewer disappearing uploads, and no more helium-voice male Sims (in new saves).
🔹 Businesses & Hobbies Fixes
Routing, ghost customers, disappearing objects — all improved.
🔹 December 2 Patch
- See-through clothing glitch fixed
- Travel loading loop resolved
- Gallery voice glitch patched
- Save corruption bug handled
❌ What’s STILL Broken
🧍 Routing Issues
Sims still stop dramatically in doorways.
👶 Infant Glitches
Bassinets glitching, animations freezing — the usual.
🧙 Occult Bugs
Werewolves acting wild, vampires glitching, spellcasters disappearing.
💡 Build Mode Lighting
Lighting is inconsistent and stubborn across modes.
🧱 Terrain Paint
Still disappears after reloading lots.
🐴 Horse Routing
Teleporting… moonwalking… wall-phasing. A lot happens.
😧 Random Sims Reactions
They panic at nothing. Classic Sims behavior.
💖 Modders: The Real MVPs of 2025
MCCC, BetterBuildBuy, TOOL, CC creators — they carried the entire game.
🎯 State of The Game at the End of 2025
The game is more stable, less chaotic, and finally playable again. Still messy — but functional.
🔮 What We Need for 2026
- Better routing & AI
- Lighting overhaul
- Gallery stability
- Infant/toddler fixes
- Build mode improvements
💬 Final Thoughts: 2025 was messy but productive. Here’s to 2026 treating our Sims better than pathfinding does.
