I do not get it. How is it cool? First of all if I understand correctly this means that all lots using custom paintings will now be marked as CC in gallery. Second this means no such lots/rooms for console players. I play with no CC myself and never search gallery for creations using CC. But these pictures I use left and right. Tones of creators make such beautifully curated collections of those. And now they will be hard to find, and inaccessible to part of the community. What is the reasoning?

you can now ask the future cube about future, btw

That Get Famous acting career travel error is only just being fixed?! Unbelievable. That issue is what me stop playing over a year ago. I thought it would have already been fixed forever ago. It's ridiculous how long it takes them to fix bugs.

It has definately not been a year. It was first reported to answer HQ in December 2019 and as far as I remember came with the last patch that had been released before that date.

It sometimes takes the team really long to fix bugs, but in this case, there weren't too many patches released since the bug first occured.

I'm so glad the fixed the bug with whims not fulfilling. Gonna test out now which of the whims are still broken despite it - hopefully I can now reenable most of my whimoverhaul whims.

Sorry for those using self made or downloaded pictures to decorate their homes. While I personally hardly used them, one could clearly see they were a great source of creativity in the gallery and widely used. It's a shame the team put their time and effort into fixing something that hardly anyone considered a bug at all. I suppose there were some pieces of fanmade art violating copyright or including inappropriate content, so I do get why they've taken this step.

Do you guys think this might mean that the new pack might come sooner than we thought?

Maybe... I wasn't expecting anything this month because of everything is happening so i'm happy for the beach weddings. that also seems to me the biggest addition besides of bug fixes. may the new pack be somehow related to this?

But yeah, awful small patch, it disappoints me :( I would love to have a huge patch with tons of bug fixes....but it is most likely too much work for them.

Wasn't there a big one with a LOT of fixes before Christmas? This one, I believe.
So not "too much work for them", as you so politely put it. Bug fixes aren't quite that straightforward; these will be bugs that were easier to fix without breaking some major and important in the process. Some of these were bugs people noticed some time ago; so it stands to reason they've been fixed if they've finally got a stage where they are fit for release, as it were. Other things, like beach weddings for example, were probably easier to do while the team is working from home. I don't know how simple or difficult it is for bigger issues to be solved with the team working from home. I would imagine though that's quite tricky.

So I don't think it's fair to say it's too much work for them when they have released huge patches before with a lot of fixes. This is a difficult time for everybody right now and I can only imagine how complicated it can be to do this kind of job from home. I think it's great we got a patch while the team's working from home.

This. This this this. We have no idea what's been pushed back because of this whole issue.

I've encountered an issue where most of the packs are uninstalled after I updated the game. I have a lot of packs & now, it's going to take forever for all the packs to be downloaded. I seriously hope that it's not going to affect my saved game. I have tweeted @SimGuruNick about this. :s

You all saw the hint on the new patch, right? Those award lights... They all seen to link to previous expansion packs except one that says 'you travelled to the future and all you got was this lani award'. I don't want that to be the next expansion pack!

I expect nothing which is pretty much all we got this year.

Thank you, @cheescaeks. In that case, they might not announce anything new until after the results for the last vote. But I hope they will, maybe next week if they don't prolong the sales again.
