The Sims 4 June patch will quiet notifications and fix doors, windows, Gallery
The June 23 Laundry List pushed more than 10 player-voted fixes toward the next patch, led by quieter notifications, cleaner phone calls, and Gallery changes.
EA’s official Sims news feed posted the June 23, 2026 Laundry List under the title “Laundry List: Upcoming Bug Fixes - June 23, 2026,” with more than 10 fixes pulled from the most-voted issues on the EA Forums. The biggest everyday changes target Live Mode notifications, phone calls, notification popups, and the first round of Gallery improvements.
The patch is a practical quality-of-life reset rather than a flashy content drop. If your household has been getting buried in constant alerts, the notification changes cut down on interruptions while you are trying to manage a family, travel, or build a story without clicking through a stack of popups. The phone-call adjustments make those calls feel less intrusive and more useful.
The most concrete fixes go after bugs players will recognize the second they load a lot. Windows and doors are being corrected so they display properly and stay aligned with walls across Low, Medium, and High graphics settings, reducing clipping and odd placement problems that can make a build feel broken even when the lot itself is fine. EA is also addressing the unexpected relationship change that can happen after leaving Create-a-Sim, though the fix only reverses the issue in saves where it has not already happened. EA is still investigating another cause of the same problem.
Mac players also get a platform-specific cleanup: scratch files are being moved to AppData.
EA’s February roadmap said the studio was prioritizing reliability, reduced gameplay friction, and feedback from EA Forums and The Sims Discord, and it set expectations for roughly 55 fixes in the March batch. EA’s May 5 Laundry List promised more than 150 fixes and new features in the May 12 base-game update, including infant, toddler, sleep, and autonomy improvements, more frequent automatic backup saves, an Infant Playmat, and Base Layers in Create a Sim.
