Back in the last week of May, Maxis released a patch for The Sims 4 on PC. While the developers said it will be released soon on consoles, that timeframe got stretched quite a bit. That finally changed today, as console gamers can finally download The Sims 4 update 2.13.
PC players will also be prompted to download an update today, as console gamers will see the patch apply two sets of fixes – the one from May initially released on PC, as well as today’s patch, which is significantly smaller.
For the complete details head on below. simmer!
