Assuming all goes to plan when the next free base game patch arrives on July 21, players will soon be able to enjoy The Sims 4 without constant fear that a sudden crash or corrupted save file will destroy their progress.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The upcoming patch approaches the saved-game struggle from multiple angles. The first is the implementation of an auto-save feature. That&#8217;s right&#8211;over a decade after its 2014 launch, The Sims 4 is finally getting an auto-save function, and players can tweak how frequently the game auto-saves via the settings menu. Additionally, &#8220;save reminders&#8221; will now pop up from time to time to remind players to save their games.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Together, these features help reduce the risk of lost progress while giving you the flexibility to save the way you want,&#8221; EA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ea.com\/games\/the-sims\/the-sims-4\/news\/laundry-list-july-14-2026\">shared in a blog post<\/a> announcing the patch.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, the days of spending hours building an elaborate house&#8211;only to lose everything when the game crashes and you realize you haven&#8217;t saved even once&#8211;appear to be coming to an end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EA has just given The Sims 4 players a look at the next item on its laundry list of upcoming bug-fixes and game improvements: making sure the game actually saves correctly.
