The Sims 4's Autumn 2025 Roadmap: A Focus on Quality, Fixes, and Free Content
The Sims 4 team has shared its plans for the upcoming months, with a strong commitment to improving the overall player experience. The focus for the next two months is on addressing technical issues, resolving bugs, and rewarding the community with new content.
September: A Base Game Update
The autumn season kicks off with a Base The Sims 4 Update on September 18 for PC and Mac players, and on September 23 for console players. This update is being released early to ensure the team has enough time to identify and fix any potential issues before the launch of the new Adventure Awaits Expansion Pack. Mod creators will also have a head start, as the TDESC files will be released on The Sims Discord to help them prepare their content.
In a major move to prioritize player concerns, the Sims team will dedicate time to fixing bugs based on votes in The Sims 4 Bug Report section of the EA Forums. This means your votes are more important than ever. The team will be tackling the most impactful, highly-voted issues in preparation for the November update.

November: Fixes and Freebies
Mark your calendars for November 4! This day will bring a significant update with fixes based on community feedback and new, free content for all the Sims 4 players.
How You Can Help
The Sims team is emphasizing the importance of community involvement in the bug-fixing process. To get your issues addressed, follow these steps:
- Report Your Issue: If you encounter a bug, check the Sims 4 EA forums to see if a report thread already exists. If not, create a new one.
- Vote for Fixes: Find a report that matches your issue and click the “Vote ⬆” button. You can vote on as many issues as you'd like.
The team will be looking at the top-voted issues by the end of September for the November update. While they will do their best to resolve as many issues as possible, it's important to note that they cannot provide official support for mods.
Counting down the days to the Adventure Awaits, and then to the free content, right?
