April Patch Speculation 2023 (Emergency Patch Now Live))

Is anyone still playing with their saves? I’ve put off playing for a few days but I’m getting a little impatient waiting for a fix. I haven’t saved my main save since before the update, so I don’t know whether I should continue to wait it out or not.

Update April 21st

Nope, I've not dared to open my game at all - (im)patiently awaiting the patch, and trying to get to grips with Planet Zoo in the meantime :D

Agh the official language

so in less complicated language this means that your old sims will be back to normal?

so that also applies to saves not opened during this time but old save?

now what the rest is about

sims created during the bug being active might look different without bugged features? or did they change something

@Simmingal Yes, they say that old Sims (Sims made before you updated to the April 18th patch) will go back to normal, and Sims that were newly created (after you updated your game to the April 18th patch) might look a little bit different after the fix.

It’s hard to be patient waiting for the face bug fix. I’m so thankful the team is working on it. Trying not to play any serious saves until it’s fixed.

Bingo.

Anything created pre patch will look like they should once the fix is released, anything created post patch will look a little different after the fix.

Haha, I’ve tried getting into my other games, but I miss my sims so much! :D Since it looks like the fix is going to take a little longer than I thought, & our sims should go back to the way they were, I might just go ahead & play tonight. :D
