\n \t\t\tNew Sims 4 Packs Met With Ridicule and Disappointment<\/p>\n<\/h5>\n
A vocal segment of The Sims 4 community is unhappy with the game’s latest DLC packs, voicing everything from ridicule to disappointment.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
A December 2 update for The Sims 4<\/em> is believed to have broken the CAS icons for Turn-Ons and Turn-Offs. That’s according to dozens of user reports posted to both social media and Electronic Arts’ official forums in the days that followed, complaining about the inconvenient bug. “We\u2019re aware of an issue in CAS showing the correct icons for Turn On\/Turns Offs,” a Maxis representative nicknamed Mindy wrote on the official Sims<\/em> Discord server. “We\u2019re currently investigating a fix and will update this thread when we have more info.”<\/p>\n\n How Sims 4 CAS Menu Currently Handles Turns-Ons and Turn-Offs The December 2 update appears to have inadvertently removed several of the Create-A-Sim menu’s Lovestruck<\/em>-specific elements, namely the likes and dislikes icons. Or more specifically, it stopped them from rendering correctly, thus obscuring which categories are marked. The bug seems to be purely cosmetic, as clicking the preferences in the Turn-Ons\/Offs menu still yields the expected result by adding or removing a selection, player reports suggest.<\/p>\n\n\n

We\u2019re aware of an issue in CAS showing the correct icons for Turn On\/Turns Offs. We\u2019re currently investigating a fix and will update this thread when we have more info.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
The CAS bug is understood to affect both console and PC players. The latter group reports encountering it regardless of any mods or other types of custom content. The issue reportedly persists even after cache clears, installation repairs, and complete reinstallations. While it doesn’t prevent players from setting Turn-Ons and Turn-Offs in The Sims 4<\/em>, it does inhibit the process. Losing this kind of visual feedback in CAS at the very least complicates challenge runs that rely on min-maxing and clearly marked romantic preferences.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n December 2025 Sims 4 Update Seemingly Fixed More Problems Than It Created Given the current state of affairs and taking the timing of these user reports into consideration, the bug appears all but certain to be linked with the game’s latest update\u2014version 1.120 on desktops and 2.25 on consoles. CAS UI issues aside, the latest patch is believed to have resolved more problems than it added. Among its fixes: Sims no longer display clothing behind privacy mosaics, sleep sessions are no longer interrupted by background radio, and teens now retain their non-teen-specific aspirations after aging up.<\/p>\n
The 1.120 update also corrects multiple visual glitches with textures and animations. Among them is a duplicate color swatch (resembling bush green) for the “Arrrmed Living Chair” furniture. As removing the dupe would potentially break existing builds, Maxis opted for a more indirect solution: replacing one of the swatches with a new variant. Things snowballed from there, resulting in two more swatches being added, and since the Arrrmed Living Chair was part of a nine-object set, the remaining eight items also received the new color options. The patch additionally eliminates several save-corruption bugs, including the one responsible for the infamous “Error Code 109” message, among other novelties.<\/p>\n
