    REPORTED FIXED. Close and restart the app to launch the game. There's not an actual update.

    I'm still getting the 'Update is Required' notice. Guess I'll check out the bug report page.

    Decided to play Skyrim instead. Only problem with that is I love Skyrim to the point that once I start playing again I have a hard time switching back to play something else. Maybe I will try alternating the 2 games after I am sure Sims 4 is fixed. In the meantime I am off to adventuring!

    I tend to alternate Sims and Civ 6 depending on my mood :)

    Same for me too even after closing and restarting.

    The EA App problem is fixed. To see the fix on your end, do an EA App Recovery:
    1. Open the EA App
    2. Select the upper left corner menu (three lines)
    3. Select Help
    4. Select App Recovery

    NOTE: If you still have issues, try also restarting your computer. Or go for a walk and try App Recovery again in a while; the fix may still be rolling out. And no, there's no actual update!

    Hey all,

    Sorry for the delay in getting to you all here, I've been all over AHQ this morning trying to get to the bottom of the issue that occurred overnight.

    Long story short, there was no patch today. What we had was an issue with the EA app earlier (I believe the technical term was "shenanigans") that caused the app to think that Sims 4 had an update available when there wasn't.

    Thanks @luthienrising for keeping this thread up to date as well, you can follow along in the thread on AHQ for this issue should the need arise.

    They don't always announce a laundry list.

    No Kit Announcement yet. I'm getting worried.

    But couldn’t the new kits come anytime in September, given that the roadmap was June-September? We just had the SDX the other week, and I don’t think we’re expecting anything else for this roadmap except the kits now, are we?

    Yes, the roadmap is through September, so I'm expecting the kits next month.

    True, but I think some people expected a big surprise for the 9th anniversary on Sep 2. Time is running out!
