Experience Enhanced Gameplay and Bug Repairs: A Complete Guide to The Sims 4's Update 1.82

The Sims 4 has rolled out a new comprehensive update, version 1.82, addressing numerous gaming issues and bringing enhancements across various platforms such as PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, with the file size differing based on the platform.

The update has implemented several bug fixes, starting with the Base Game. Firstly, having a backpack in your lot no longer impedes your Sim from arranging books on shelves, leaving you with ample room to store crucial items like snacks. Also, while playing the "Aliens Stole My Parents" scenario in Korean, Sims will now be properly informed about the unavailability of the "take a vacation" option. The oddly named error code 123: 4a01697a: 4adea999 will no longer greet you at your home lot; instead, be ready for a friendly welcome from your neighbors.

As for the Stuck in their Shadow Scenario, the game will now smoothly move to the next goal after completing the Au Revoir, Lewis! On a similar note, Mysterious Phone Calls are now accessible without the need to flip back and forth into Create-a-Sim. Moreover, in a delightful change for our little Sims, toddlers can now grab snacks or drinks from the Always Has A Snack-Bag lunchbox without experiencing unexpected growth spurts.

The game now ensures a leveled playing field for all players. Players will no longer be redirected to the map with an exception error code upon starting the Finding Love After a Breakup Scenario. Extra traits will not affect the ability to edit Sims in Create-a-Sim. Also, while writing a book or term paper, your Sim concentrates on the task at hand instead of picking up a random book to read.

The game has also been updated, particularly for console use. The user agreements can now be accepted using a Mouse and Keyboard without the game entering an unrecoverable state. Also, the Controls Legend will not interfere with the Gallery settings if the former is disabled in Game Options > Other.

Several other changes have been made to the Gallery Server, City Living, Discover University, Seasons, Island Living, Eco Lifestyle, Snowy Escape, and Cottage Living to enhance the gaming experience. Finally, in the High School Years scenario, the new update permits Sims to enjoy attractions at the Copperdale Pier either alone or together. However, the romantic Tunnel of Love continues to be exclusive to prospective love interests.

In a nutshell, the Sims 4 Update 1.82 is packed with fixes and enhancements aiming to deliver an improved and seamless gaming experience to Simmers worldwide.
