I have noticed something else that has changed with the patch.
with my musical sims - the perform action seems truncated - the sim will so to the instrument and the little musical note graphic will happen for 3 seconds then they will simply quit - no upskilling bar, no music.
My sim is pretty good- at least L6 on all instruments, but cannot perform. The sound while she practices (OK 'plays alone') or jams with her mates is also very intermittent.
I removed all my current mods, started a different family on an EA world (Lunar Lakes) - same thing happened, so it doesn't seem to be related to mods or a savegame issue.
Has anyone else encountered this?
