The Sims 4 My Wedding Stories pack received a patch from EA on March 31, 2022, that claims to have fixed the problems within the latest expansion kit. The patch has focused on improving the gameplay surrounding wedding ceremonies and addressing other reported issues.

EA and developer Maxis delivered the news on Twitter that the patch for The Sims 4 was now live for PC and Consoles. The patch reportedly fixes some of the biggest known issues with ceremony activities not working properly during vow renewals, receptions, and wedding ceremony parties. Sims will also now be able to go up and down short, medium, and long aisles during the Gather at Aisle interaction.

RELATED: The Sims 4 My Wedding Stories is Getting Fixed

The news will please The Sims 4 fans as the My Wedding Stories pack has been significantly broken since it launched on February 23, 2022, with players reporting a smorgasbord of issues with the new DLC. Some major issues reported by players included Sims not walking up and down the aisle correctly, guests showing up in improper wedding attire, guests performing inappropriate activities during the wedding ceremonies, and many more.

Some of the more amusing issues that have been addressed in the patch are either the bride or groom not showing up for their own wedding ceremony, the ability to be able to ask children to partake in alcoholic beverages at the bar, sims with a larger backside experiencing clipping issues, and not enough sunshine in Tartosa. Here is the full exhaustive list of update notes:

  • We fixed some issues with Ceremony Activities not working properly during Vow Renewal, Reception & Wedding Ceremony parties.
  • Sims will be able to go up and down short, medium, and long aisles now during the Gather at Aisle interaction.
  • Partners will show up for wedding events now.
  • Center park - Myshuno Meadows is listed among the venues in the wedding event planner now besides other additional venues.
  • Sims will no longer set their bouquet aside before walking down the aisle.
  • Ring Bearers and Flower Pals will no longer refuse to walk down the aisle after running any interaction from the "Ceremony activities".
  • We adjusted our recipe for wedding cakes, so they should last much longer. And we made them Vegetarian-safe! :)
  • Everyone will be excited for Cake and Dessert at Wedding Ceremonies now.
  • Wedding Guests and Officiants will "Gather at the aisle" properly now.
  • The "Cut Cake with <Sim>" interaction is no longer available on cakes that were already cut.
  • Officiants will not just stand there any longer, but will actually do their officiant job.
  • Sims who bend to their spouse when performing a "Spousal kiss" will no longer rub their ear into the other Sims face, but will use their lips to kiss their spouse instead.
  • Some curtains have been updated to cast a slightly less dramatic shadow when placed indoors.
  • Sims will react more appropriately when running romantic socials while Slow Dancing going forward.
  • We added some clarity to the tooltip of Wedding Cakes by including further details about eligible spots for wedding cakes to be placed in.
  • Sims will receive the "Not selected as a sim of honor" or 'Wasn't invited to wedding" sentiments only when appropriate moving forward.
  • "Let's Get Drinks" is no longer available for Child and Teen Sims on Bars during Rehearsal Dinner, Family Gathering, or Engagement Dinner parties.
  • Engaged couples will no longer be able to perform Wedding related actions on Wedding Cakes they do not own.
  • Sims will cut their wedding cakes even if it has a cake topper; Sims will simply remove the topper from the cake and place it in their inventory before cutting the cake with their couple Sim.
  • We also fixed an issue with Cake Toppers floating above Cakes after Sims "Take a Piece".
  • When selecting guests in the Wedding Event Planner it will show all the sims that are related to both individuals of the couple now. So guests should no longer get uninvited after editing the guest list with a Sim who was not the original host for the event - both couple Sims will be considered the host now.
  • Guests' attire Dress Code and Color will no longer reset after editing a Wedding event.
  • Simmers will be able to choose which aisle Sims should gather at and Sims "Gathering For Recessional" will be able to go up and down the aisles without issues now.
  • We taught Sims some manners, so they will pay proper attention to Toasts now and will stop chattering.
  • Sims with a larger backside will no longer experience their derrière to clip through.
  • When Engaged Sims perform the "Exchange vows and Kiss" or the "Exchange Vows with Officiant and Kiss" Ceremony event, Sims will complete both interactions now and will no longer forget about the Spousal Kiss.
  • We made some tweaks, so you can expect more sunshine in Tartosa moving forward.
  • Officiant Sims will now give the wedding couple their full attention and avoid talking to other sims during their speech.
  • Sims will wear their existing formal outfit for weddings if it is appropriately colored.
  • For Engagement Dinners, Sims will wear their party outfits and for wedding reception and the vow renewals events guest Sims will wear their formal outfit moving forward.
  • We caught some mischievous gnomes who added superglue to wedding chairs, causing Sims to be unable to get up after taking their seats. We cleaned those chairs meticulously and advised gnomes to be more prudent, so Sims will be able to get up to do other wedding-related actions after sitting down.
  • We added some musical backdrop to accentuate important wedding moments.
  • Also, we improved an issue with arms clipping during Paired Dancing.

Despite all these fixes, players are still reporting problems. Some guests still do not pay attention to toasts and speeches. There continues to be an issue with the couples' first dance where surrounding sims can be distracted by the stereo system. The bouquet toss still doesn't function correctly. If there isn't enough space then the bride simply will not toss it, and guests will not gather in the selected area for the bouquet toss. The Sims 4 players will certainly be hoping that EA and Maxis address these remaining bugs in a future patch.

Apart from all the bugs found in The Sims 4 My Wedding Stories, the game offers players the ability to hold same-sex marriages. As a result, EA announced that the expansion wouldn't be available in Russia due to the country's restrictions on LGBTQ content and its federal anti-gay laws. However, just days after that announcement, EA made a U-turn on its decision to release the pack in Russia after coming under pressure from the fan campaign #weddingsforrussia.

The Sims 4 My wedding Stories is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
