On July 25, The Sims 4: Lovestruck Expansion Pack was launched. This additional content received a mixed response from fans, primarily due to technical issues it introduced.

EA Announces The Sims 4: Lovestruck Bug-Fixing Update

On August 6, Electronic Arts (EA) publicly admitted some issues with their game “The Sims 4” and announced a patch specifically designed to fix bugs introduced with the “Lovestruck” expansion. This update aims to prevent error code occurrences and resolve a visual glitch where glasses’ frames appear distorted. This issue, which has been reported by many players on EA’s Answers HQ forums since the expansion pack launched at the end of July, will be addressed in this update.

In the upcoming update, Electronic Arts (EA) plans to correct some unforeseen situations where certain romantic interactions in The Sims 4 randomly vanish from the selection menu. Although EA hasn’t provided specific details, it seems this problem refers to an ongoing issue that players have been experiencing. Players have found a temporary workaround by reloading their saved game from the main menu until EA releases a more permanent solution for this glitch.

According to EA, they intend to release the bug-fixing update no later than August 13 of next week. Before that, they will post a comprehensive list detailing the changes in the patch a few days prior. Since 2021, EA has been regularly sharing “The Sims 4” update lists, which they initiated as a response to fan demands for increased transparency about their work on improving the game.

Player feedback across social media platforms and EA’s forums indicate that the release of Lovestruck has been accompanied by numerous other issues, which the developer-publisher has yet to publicly address. The Cupid’s Corner app seems to have incorrect filtering behavior, while players are unable to add or change holidays on the calendar. Additionally, many users claim that the expansion causes romantic relationships to deteriorate at an unrealistic pace, leading partners to split up even after just one day spent apart for work.
