Please also read this post carefully: In Preparation for patching
Today’s patch brings several adjustments for console and some bug fixes. The gallery is being moved to new backend systems. This will lead the gallery being unavailable for an extended period of time. Some features will also be temporarily missing once the gallery is back up.
Milestones will no longer go missing when you play another household, washer and dryer should no longer break all the time and the issue that you need to pick a season all the time is also fixed.
Complete changes below.

Hello Simmers
Kicking off with the ongoing maintenance, we know you are probably missing the Gallery right now – we promise it will be back up and running as soon as possible. The extended maintenance is part of an initiative we have to move the Gallery to new backend systems and services which will bring with it additional flexibility and future feature updates.
Don’t worry, all of your creations, comments, likes, and downloads will be coming over to the new Gallery and will be there waiting for you when the maintenance is complete.
- At launch, PC and Mac Simmers may notice that the News tab isn’t there and the Gallery Newsfeed is not feeding anymore. This is temporary and we will be looking at bringing them back, in some form, at a later date. Console players will also get these features when they return.
- Trending Hashtags will be unavailable but you will be able to search by hashtag as usual. The Hashtag panel will return. #Hashtag (wait, is that like Googling Google?)
- Commenting from thesims.com website will be temporarily unavailable when the Gallery returns. Our focus is on bringing the game systems back and running smoothly. This means that you will be able to read comments on the web Gallery but you will need to be in The Sims 4 to leave new comments
- Due to technical issues, the Gallery will be temporarily disabled on Macs running El Capitan (10.11) and Sierra (10.12). All items previously downloaded will be available in My Library as usual. We will be bringing access back to players on those OS’s as soon as possible.
For updates on Gallery availability be sure to monitor @TheSimsDirect on Twitter.
While this update is available to download and play, the Gallery will be unavailable while the team works behind the scenes on bringing the new services online. When the Gallery returns, you will not need to do anything additional as long as you have installed this update.
One returning feature is that The Sims 4 will automatically connect to the Gallery when the game launches rather than connect on demand which we added when we invited more Simmers into the game by offering The Sims 4 for free. Console Simmers will need to link their accounts to an EA account either during game launch or by opening Options > Game Options > Other and selecting Link EA Account.
Simmers will need to update to this version of The Sims 4 to access the Gallery; the older clients will not be able to connect.
Wow, all that and we haven’t even started on the What’s New? and Bug Fixes – let’s go ahead and jump into those.
