Update 1.18.14.0 size question

Featured Replies

Hello,

 

I didn't see this covered elsewhere but I had a question regarding the size of the update.  When I first clicked to update, it said the file size was about 392MB. Then it froze and when I restarted it, now it's giving me a file size of 40.29GB?????😲  Isn't this about the size of the whole sim?   I'm current on all my updates and the release notes don't justify such a large file.  Any feedback on what's going on here would be deeply appreciated.  Thank you very much.😟

Best regards,

Hans

Thats the size of the update. Did you do SU5?

Not sure what SU5 is, is that an update too?  I've done all requested updates and if 40.29GB is the size of the file, that's fine.  Maybe what I saw was the size of the installer file?  Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it.

There were two updates this week. One on Tuesday, and then a hotfix for that one today.

@Hans Groenewold
Actually three. The Sim Update 5 and the hotfix to correct flaws of SU5 but do not forget to also download and install the optional updates of the free regional addons (Japan, USA, UK, France, Nordics) to be found in the MFS market place. 20 GB more.
