The Sims 4 Player Loses 20 Generations of Legacy to Latest Update – Frustrated Players Demand Fix
The Sims 4, Electronic Arts’ (EA) life simulator, is praised for its depth but often criticized for disruptive bugs that necessitate frequent updates from Maxis. For one dedicated player, Amsxtonn, these issues recently culminated in a major setback. Maxis has supported The Sims 4 for over a decade with regular expansions and items. However, each update carries both financial and technical risks. The For Rent expansion, released in December 2023, introduced a bug that corrupted save files, and a complete fix remains elusive. Amsxtonn recently encountered problems with an update as well. On November 2, Amsxtonn posted a tearful TikTok video explaining that an update corrupted her twenty-generation Sims family legacy. “They’re gone,” she lamented, with the caption: “POV: Your Sims inheritance got messed up with the new update.” The loss of her Sims family after so many generations sparked widespread reaction among players. Despite the setback, Amsxtonn baked a cake to mark the occasion. However, the incident has reignited discussions about The Sims 4’s persistent bugs and mounting player frustration. Players now await a fix from Maxis, who have stated that they are working towards a solution.
