Bug Fixes and Updates Are Fab!

I am extremely happy with the update. That new UI slider is fabulous! I can actually see my Sims' portraits again. And the big plus in all of this is the fact I was able to delete twenty mods! And I'm still sifting through my mods folder hoping I'll find a few more I no longer need. I have had no LEs generated by MCCC during testing, so I am beyond thrilled. I'm a bit upset over the CC tubs and showers that will need a batch fix before I use them again, but even that is sooo much better than the unholy mess I had on my hands after the Island Living update. 63 mods were borked because of that update, and my game was nearly unplayable for over six weeks. I spent more time looking for temporary fixes than I did playing for a while. But to have an update of this size cause so few issues and actually fix so many bugs is incredible. This has helped to rebuild my trust in the teams. I have been very vocal about my unhappiness with the number of bugs in the game, but maybe everything will be better moving forward now. I can't wait to see what everyone says about DU. If it performs well, has fewer bugs than we have seen in the past few packs, I might rethink my plan to wait for it to go on sale before buying it. Thank you, teams. You did a great job on this new update.

I'm happy about the plant splicing chances being improved, and that random items won't be deleted from the inventory when you do a sample in the conservationist career. (My Sim lost her birth certificate that way.) And the book fix. I had a whole pile of toddler books in front of the bookshelf the other night.

They did fix the two biggest gameplay bugs with RoM - the potion values (which I personally didn't care about, but I can see it would be a big issue for people who like retail play) and the bloodline trait issue (which hadn't happened yet in my game - my spellcasters only had 'weak bloodlines'). I'm disappointed the eyes weren't fixed, but that's more of an aesthetic thing.

I've only ever played freelance writer. It worked for a short while then it broke. I tried again just the other day and still broke.

Oh that's annoying. What's broken about it?

Really happy with this patch. Keep them coming :)

Finally my alchemist can build her potion shop as well as sell them during a Flea Market! Having a potion shop was like 25% of the reason why I needed RoM

Is anyone having problems with holidays disappearing since the patch.

I'm happy with all the bug fixes. They seem to have missed the one with sims eating spoiled food though.

@Sharonia This was fixed in my game before the patch. Glutton sims will eat spoiled food though. The bug that is currently annoying me is sims not completely finishing their meals in restaurants.

That's good to know. I've been using LittleMsSam's fix all this time.

Simmers in the help forum complain about toddler needs decaying much faster than before the patch.

It's deffo an improvement but when you realize it's the last ever patch for the Legacy Edition, it doesn't seem enough.
They are forever saddled with leftover bugs, and even got a few new ones for the road (like no quick meal for children).

I'm having seious problems with the toddlers, since the patch. Their needs plummet so quickly it is near immpossible to keep them happy, I will rephrase that, it is impossible to keep their needs up, Social, Energy, and happiness are the worst. I have a family with three triplet toddlers. two teens and their parents. I've been playing this family three times today. and by about day 3 or 4 of them being toddlers, it becomes impossible.
I love the better definition. and the slightly changed layout. everything is better to see and I can now read the notifications. But please sort the toddlers out, otherwise I'll have no teens to send to college.
