Maxis has pushed out The Sims 4 update 1.77 and this is for a short list of fixes that include issues associated with the Gallery and more. Read on for the official patch notes below. The studio has also issued an updated statement regarding the issues with the Gallery as well.

The Sims 4 Update 1.77 Patch Notes:

PC: 1.98.158.1020 / Mac: 1.98.158.1220

Console: Version: 1.77

Bug Fixes

Base Game

• We have some good news for El Capitan and Sierra macOS users. This update re-enables access to the Gallery, so be sure to try it out. It’s so fast!
• Some Simmers on the new generation of PlayStation and Xbox could find themselves in a loop where the game would shut down before reaching the Main Menu if the console wasn’t set to be offline first. This should no longer occur, and you can now launch The Sims 4 while remaining online.
• Removing an upload from the Gallery will no longer leave it as being in your profile if it was part of your Showcase.
• When filtering on Households in the Gallery, selecting Size of 1 Sim would show all Households with 1 or more Sims. While it was technically accurate, there was 1 Sim in the results, it was meant to, and does, only return Households that have 1 Sim total now.

Per the dev team:

As part of our roll-out of the updated Gallery servers, we are continuing to monitor the system health as well as continuous work on addressing your feedback and issues, such as duplicate thumbnails showing up from one upload in the Gallery.

Once a new update is out, we’ll let our readers know.
