I feel like they have to release something, because of the 'Summer of The Sims' promotion they currently have. And with August kinda being the last month of Summer (Ok I know September is technically Summer... but it's not Summer Summer) something big has to come this month right?

Although that may be some paid content, rather than an update.

We can only hope.

More possibly they're not sure they can find the fix and implement it before the next patch is scheduled to release. Maybe along with the greater amount of communication they're working on a more regular schedule for patches outside of months that see paid content, so modders and CC designers will know when to expect a patch so they can be ready to check their content.

For August I'd say continued bug fixes, including more Gallery tweaks; a lot of people have expressed concerns that the Gallery search defaults to Popular Now, and they may change that default to Newest. They want to get the Gallery running smoothly before they add the feature to the console edition.

Emergency patches are generally for game-breaking bugs; while very annoying, the stinky leaf piles aren't game-breaking, at least not in my opinion.

I thought the problem where every townie freezes to death during parties or when they're jogging would be considered game-breaking but I haven't heard anything about that huge problem anymore. (Or did I miss that fix?)

The patch notes said something about basketball players no longer freezing to death, so perhaps (hopefully!) the same applies to joggers? I've not had time to play since the patch so will investigate at the weekend.

All I hope for are bug fixes.

Toddlers in high chairs has been broken forever, I wish that would be fixed. Ditto leaf piles and sims not interacting when out. In terms of smaller bugs I would like to see sims calling my sims at silly o clock in the morning wanting to go on a date fixed. I notice that has returned.

Well we know one bug fix that will be in the upcoming patch

Gallery version 2 upgrade

Little reworks on problems that the latest update may have caused, maybe some small gameplay if we're lucky.

I really hope you're right. I'm not expecting the next gallery update till September but we'll see.

I feel so greedy since seasons just released but I'd love a couple of lose items again in this patch, or a career or a trait. (I want the last two in general, I would love more careers (rabbit hole ones) or traits. But yeah all I expect is bug fixes.

I hope they fix the super annoying bug with placing and self removing friezes it's super annoying.

Can toddler high chairs make it to the list? I’m hoping, praying, rain dancing, and sacrificing goats for this. My Sims continue to automatically remove toddlers after placing them down to eat. At this point, its purpose is purely aesthetic :#

Yes, and they steal their food that's ready for their toddler and eat it themselves afterwards I've found.
