When Is the Next Update for The Sims 4 Coming Out?

Updates for The Sims 4 have a very irregular schedule overall, so it’s hard to predict them. EA isn’t fond of announcing them beforehand either, unless there are some serious issues to be solved immediately. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. The latest Sims 4 update was rolled out on July 6th.
