'The Sims 4' Get Together DLC news: EA drops PC patch before DLC release

The much-awaited "Get Together" expansion pack is dropping in "The Sims 4" tomorrow. But before the massive DLC touches down, EA wants to prep up the game for the huge addition with a massive PC patch, which, for starters, includes some general fixes and tweaks.

With the patch, players with a 64bit Windows computer will automatically activate the 64bit executable upon launching the game. The Mods can now be toggled on and off while the Create A Sim mode was improved to avoid lost or corrupted relationship data.

"The Sims 4" players will also notice improvements in the Fire and Death reaction systems that will allow Sims to act more appropriately when these situations are occurring near them. The same goes with greeting families, friends or acquaintances.

EA also updated its Holiday Celebration Pack with a whole host of new items to check out. Gamers can now get "new snowflake decals, a lighted tree, piles of presents, a tree centerpiece and new formal outfits that are perfect for wearing to holiday parties."

Changes that nod to the coming of the "Get Together" expansion pack were also added with the patch. This includes the newfound ability of "The Sims 4" gamers to hire the bartender from the bar, the caterer or a masseuse.

The pool venue has officially been added and the best part is that gamers who are tired of crystal clears waters can change its color to purple. The World Maps in the game are updated in the sense that they are now "in glorious color," as the patch note describes.

There is a big list of fixes for "The Sims 4" that EA went into great detail in its patch note. To read all about this, click here.

Tomorrow, players can finally head to Windenburg for a perfect European style getaway. There are tons of places to visit for Sims who like dance parties, swimming, games, a cup of coffee and even a dose of scares.

Priced at $39.99, the "Get Together" expansion pack for "The Sims 4" releases Dec. 8.
