The latest Laundry List for The Sims 4 has been published – and it is definitely more substantial than the previous editions. Fair to say that it is growing into itself, so to speak.
The Sims 4 launched the Laundry List in February, aiming to keep players more up to speed with what the team is working on ahead of the next game patch. And this month there will be not just one game patch, but two, according to the Laundry List.
No date or dates were given for the Sims 4 base game updates coming in May 2021, however, The Sims 4 Courtyard Oasis Kit is set to be released on 18 May 2021 and there will be a “Sims summer line-up” announcement the day before.
One of the issues The Sims 4 team already confirmed they were working on is changes to the recently updated Hates Children Sim trait. That will only come with the second Sims 4 update this month, though, which is likely to follow towards the end of May, possibly ahead of a new Game Pack, which was confirmed, but the theme had not yet been announced at the time of writing.
Sims 4: Latest Laundry List for May 2021
Below follows the official May 2021 Sims 4 Laundry List. It is shared verbatim as published by The Sims team and edited only for style and brevity where required.
Welcome to the Laundry List where we?ll share a list of the top community concerns that we?re currently investigating and hope to have resolved in the upcoming patch.
These concerns were reported by players who help us continue our work of improving the user experience on a regular basis.
Please note that some topics can be tricky and require an extended investigation on our end, so even though we are actively investigating it’s not a guarantee that we?ll have an immediate fix for it in the upcoming patch.
Also note that this is just a list of the ?top? concerns. There are more topics that we saw reported by players that are not listed and being worked on.
So, without further ado, here is a list of the top community concerns we?re currently investigating:
For the month of May, we?ll have two updates to the game.
