The Sims 3: An Unexpected Patch Surprise After Years

- Advertisement -

Long Time, No Updates!

In a surprising twist of fate, fans of The Sims 3 were left scratching their heads this week as the game received its first patch in over a decade. That’s right, over ten years since the last update, which was way back in January 2014! Just as players were gearing up for all the excitement surrounding The Sims 4 anniversary updates, their beloved predecessor sneakily slipped in a little surprise.

What Does This Patch Mean?

While Electronic Arts (EA) didn’t provide a detailed announcement about the update, a vigilant player on the EA Answers Forum offered some clarity. Apparently, the patch addresses an ongoing issue that prevented The Sims 3 from launching on newer Intel processors. Thanks to this patch, those players can finally revisit the quirky lives of their Sims without any more of those pesky launch failures.

Potential New Features?

As intriguing as this patch sounds, it’s worth noting that it appears to be specifically for the EA app version of the game, leaving Steam users in the dark without a corresponding update. After the update, players might encounter a new popup asking for product activation the next time they hit play in the launcher. Don’t fret! One savvy simmer suggests simply clicking “exit” to bypass this and get back to building dream homes and managing chaotic households. I had no issues myself after entering my EA app credentials, and all was well!

So here’s to unexpected patches and the continued love for The Sims 3. Who knows what other surprises await us in the future?
