In this episode of The Plumbob Report, Becca and Danny go through what EA has announced for the October 27 base-game update for The Sims 4. EA's October 20 Laundry List post describes the update as food, dining and drinks themed, with more than 150 fixes, including several key Dine Out fixes. They also look at the state of expansions as of late August and at new Halloween content on the Marketplace.
The update has not been released yet, so everything here reflects what is planned, not what is live. The post does not include a fix-by-fix list, and a jeu.video write-up confirms the date and fix count but says no deployment time has been announced. Listeners will come away knowing which fixes have been described, where details are still missing, and how the expansion and Marketplace picture looked in recent reporting.
- The October 27 update: a food, dining and drinks theme, 150+ planned fixes, and several Dine Out fixes, with no deployment time announced.
- Gameplay and stability fixes: Sims reportedly choosing leftovers before cooking a new meal, separate weight and muscle controls (per a secondary write-up), and a Navmesh fix for endless loading screens tied to heavy Move Objects use.
- Expansions: a late-August piece from The Sims Resource, covering only its view as of August 24, noted Royalty & Legacy as the only 2026 expansion so far, with Kits, Capsule Kits and Marketplace content filling the gap. EA's broader strategy remains an open question, not a confirmed plan.
- Halloween on the Marketplace: the Stay Spooky Maker Pack, the Satin Whisper and Summertime Elegant Living sets now on sale, and a Trick or Treat mod guide from The Sims Community.
