New Patch Released (10/11/22)

A new patch for the Sims 4 has been released https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/news/update-10-11-2022#baseGame

The base game fixes include:

Curious about why you may have not seen the outcome of your Stuck In Their Shadow scenario? We were too, and have fixed an issue where the scenario would not progress in some branches, or show your outcome. We will continue to investigate any further cases of this issue occurring.
Starting the Aliens Stole My Parents scenario with an existing household that contains adults will see the aliens abduct their target regardless of whether the adult was in a social interaction or not.
Having Leonardo and Sofia play with stuffed animal toys should now complete the goal of playing with toys in the Parenting Predicaments scenario.
Improvements to ymHat_SDX005Durag to address blotches and unexpected folds
Applying clothing swatches should no longer switch the feminine frame to masculine frame when applied.
Feminine frame Sims can wear the different color variants of ymBottom_Pants_Jeans without part of their torso becoming invisible.
Changing from a full body outfit to new pants on a female child Sim ensures the Sim is properly dressed and waiting for whatever new outfit you select.
No-one expects it but if a Sim is killed by something from deep space they will get the Death by Meteorite trait in the Family Tree along with a representative icon depicting their untimely end.
Custom pronouns are respected in the "Level up in motor skill," "Level up in handiness skill," and "Level up in Gardening skill" whims including sessions after restarting the game.
Some pranks can be funny, but less so if they keep happening like the toilet pranks were. We have dialed back the pranking so your Sims can have a little more confidence their rest stop won’t end with a broken toilet.
A number of text, spelling and grammatical updates across the game.

Who recognizes these from the Bug Report forum? Are these hot issues with a lot of "Me Too's"?

@testaccount7890 THANK YOU for fixing the toilet prank thing! That was the most annoying thing I was experiencing.

This patch was okey, we had worser patches. For myself I don’t use scenarios + pronouns but its important that both get fixed for player which use it. As long I get also bugfixes I am okey with it.
I will try the toileting pranking without mod which disable it. I hope I like it more as the idle phone tweak from them. With this patch I could remove two mods, so I am good with it. I am happy for the new trait, I only wish it would be a reward store trait and not a normal trait or that we would get 4 traits slots in a vanilla game.
Sure, it’s frustrating that almost all settings toggles are broken, or that toddler genetic still is broken but some bugs are harder to fix as others and we don’t know how much people works on bugfixes, but I would just guess not many. Thanks again for the fixes, especially for Henford-NPC + female child.

Not impressed that a bug that has been around since the launch of the werewolves pack - the chest/breast/thorax slider bug - still has not been addressed. Do we really need yet another trait and more tattoo's at the expense of a bug that has plagued the game - a bug that the ea/maxis team created - for over three months now? No. Ditto with the scenarios that keep popping up every month. Instead of putting out new stuff, fix the old stuff first.

The chest of werewolves being the same is by design and not a bug.

@simsplayer818Yep I'm in the same boat. This is why having a robust base game made in Unreal Engine is essential.

@jpkarlsen then why has it been addressed as a bug in the bug forum? Essentially, the team screwed up and haven't addressed the issue.

It appears that the update has also introduced unintended consequences with the loyal trait so if anyone hops onto this thread to discuss that, here is a link to the thread if your Sims are now bickering at an alarming rate. It's been merged with an existing issue with Sims being autonomously mean to each other.

This patch is stupid. Emily will get used as much as clippy or your original help section. The only good thing about this patch is that all my doors are still there. There is a reason EA is suck a hated company. We know the reason. They still have not figured it out. Stop ignoring your customer bas and address the real issue's your game has.

I agree, I thought they had fixed home decor by now, but i'm finding new bugs in it! Every time they release a patch or pack, they don't play tested it. Sims are now crazy flirting with anyone even if engaged, they want to flirt with same sex all the time they happen to meet someone, only discuss if if they are opposite sex. Now they stopped flirting and are doing mean interactions for no reasons, lovers acquaintance, customers!! Fears are abusive, dead end job fear everytime someone comes home from work.. People getting tense because of joy? Idk what is this patch, Emo, depress and fragile? Don't get me started on the kids having relationship with adult bug. How can it possibly happen?
