While this patch doesn't include additional changes for this issue, testing on player-submitted saves confirmed that Memory Boost resolves a memory-related crash that could occur when traveling after loading a save, though longer load times may still occur and similar but separate issues continue to be investigated in their own threads.

This was happening when loading an Autosave Slot of a previously played manual save and then manually saving in the new save, because it would always save against the last manually saved manual save slot - even if it was a different save slot than the one currently loaded.[/p][/*][/list][p][b]Marketplace[/b][/p][list][*][p]Fixed an issue that could cause Discover menu tabs to misalign and show empty sections.[/p][/*][*][p]A “Something Went Wrong” error should no longer appear when transitioning from the Gallery to a Marketplace page of a Kit or Pack that is no longer available.[/p][/*][*][p]Fixed a Japanese text issue for PlayStation Simmers.[/p][/*][/list][p][b]Basegame[/b][/p][list][*][p]\[[url="https://forums.ea.com/idea/the-sims-4-bug-reports-en/countdown-time-for-schoolafter-school-activitycareer-showing-0-minutes/13524224"]EA Forums[/url]] The countdown timer for Careers, School, and After School Activities is fixed and no longer stuck showing 0 minutes.[/p][/*][*][p]This update contains a fix for crashes relating to caching.

This can still be addressed for all other lots by loading into the lot and leaving - we unfortunately aren’t able to force a thumbnail update for these lots since the data is saved locally.
