Sims 4 High School Years Update Fix Announced

gamerant.com:

The Sims 4 launched way back in 2014, but the game has plenty of content. Regular updates, expansions, stuff packs, and other additions are regularly produced by EA and Maxis, ensuring that players can always find something to do in The Sims 4.

Unfortunately, these new content rollouts aren't always smooth. The latest Sims 4 update caused a myriad of issues including the possibility of incest, rapid aging, and unintended fame. Thankfully, EA has now announced a fix is rolling out in the near future.

According to a tweet coming from the official Sims 4 account, EA has looked into the issues that have been reported since the High School Years Sims 4 patch dropped. According to the company, the fix will roll out by the end of the week, and it should also amend some other remaining issues since the update launched, like players not receiving their expected bonus content for pre-ordering the expansion.

Unfortunately, this leaves players in the lurch for now. EA has recommended that players not use the short or long lifespan options in the interim, in order to avoid having Sims rapidly age or even die suddenly. However, there's no immediate advice for avoiding the other issues. While some might be amused by these problems, others are likely horrified at seeing their Sims suddenly grow interested in flirting with their own blood relatives. Many players have likely been looking forward to the High School expansion's release, making it a disappointment to not be able to play their normal saves as they might like until sometime next week.

It's a shame that the game's update launched in this condition, as a widespread issue like this likely could have been caught before
