In the past few years, live events in “The Sims 4” have become more frequent. These events have received mixed reviews, but many Sim enthusiasts were thrilled about the rewards associated with the “Enchanted by Nature”-themed Nature’s Calling Event. However, persistent connectivity issues have made it challenging for players on consoles to participate in “The Sims 4”. Now, Electronic Arts (EA) has announced that the live event will be prolonged while the developers work on a fix for console connection problems in an upcoming update.
The Nature’s Calling event in The Sims 4 was initially planned to conclude on August 5th. However, @TheSimsDirect on X announced an extension of the event, which now lasts until September 2nd for all players. This gives more time to everyone, even those not experiencing console issues, to gather and collect the rewards, including the sought-after Shrek toilet.

The complete four-week journey of challenges and rewards for the Nature’s Calling event is accessible now. This means even if you haven’t begun participating in this event yet, the extension offers you ample opportunity to finish all the tasks and collect your rewards. Apart from console connection troubles, the Nature’s Calling event has been remarkably free of bugs compared to previous live events in The Sims 4. Many players have appreciated this nature-focused series of quests that aligns with the Enchanted by Nature pack. However, those who continue to experience connection problems might not find the extra time particularly beneficial without a simultaneous solution. Fortunately, they are also addressing this issue.
The Sims 4 Promises Another Update for Console Concerns
In addition to prolonging the “Nature’s Calling Event” in The Sims 4, @TheSimsDirect mentioned that developers plan to roll out an update to tackle some console connectivity problems shortly. Recently, several patches have been implemented in The Sims 4, fixing a variety of bugs like the ones concerning Sim pregnancy and customizing werewolf noses. However, despite these adjustments, many Sim enthusiasts continue to request further improvements on the ailment aspect.
Despite the recent updates, none of them have resolved the widespread console connection problems that Sims players have been encountering. Gamers playing on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S have reported difficulties in connecting to The Sims 4 online. These issues have persisted for some time, but they appear to have intensified following the July updates of the base game. EA has now acknowledged that they are working on a remedy, with an anticipated release “soon.” Although the specific date is uncertain, it seems likely that the team aims to release the fix by the September 2nd extension deadline for the event.
In the interim, players on Reddit have discovered a temporary solution to console connection problems with The Sims 4. By navigating to their settings and re-linking their EA accounts, users on platforms such as PS5 claim to have resolved their issues. This step seems to restart the connection and enable The Sims 4 to connect online again. So, if you’ve been experiencing these problems, it might be beneficial for you to explore your game settings, switch tabs, and re-link your EA account.
At the moment, we’re unsure whether the upcoming update for The Sims 4 will mainly target console online connection problems or tackle other glitches and player worries. As Electronic Arts prepares to roll out the new update, more details should become available.
