@Atreya33 if you're on pc & use mods you can download twisted mexi's better build/buy. He updated it to remove, or at least not show, the shopping cart.

To be honest, I'm at a point where I can't read anything more than manipulation into this. There's a psychological effect that when you help someone you are more likely to like them: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Franklin_effect

I'm pretty sure their marketing team is aware of stuff like this. The patch notes are usually very well done and thoughtful (actually it appears they are done with more care than the game code itself). So this is not EA being thankful for community services, but EA wanting us to like them more.

The speed of these hot fixes is definitely a positive change. Now let's hope this will happen for other bugs as well. If there are no big problems I might update next week. The only downside will be that awful shopping cart.

Patch notes: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/news/update-3-6-2024

Fixes to these CCSP bugs:
- the retail bug
- the distortion bug
- the bug with sims dying while wearing crafted jewelry
- the bug with gemstone colors.

Fixes to these basegame bugs created by the last patch:
- disappearing moodlets
- various inventory bugs
- woohoo interests not showing correctly on profile

Among others.

And they gave a nice shoutout to everyone who reported on AHQ! Thank you all!

If no new bugs appear from CCSP after another week (including if this patch didn't create any.....) then I'll probably buy it.

Crystal Creations fixes

Corrected an issue where Sims’ bodies would gradually change in size each time a Sim put on or took off crafted jewelry. This issue primarily affected Teens, Adults, and Elders. There was minimal impact to Young Adults.
While this issue will no longer occur, this update does not retroactively fix the appearance of Sims who had already been altered. There are two methods we can suggest for manually restoring your Sims:

You can restore an older save file that was saved prior to any crafted jewelry being worn by your Sims.

On PC/Mac, please visit our video guide or text guide for instructions on restoring older save files.

On PlayStation/Xbox, select “Load Game” from the main menu, and choose an older save file.

You can take your Sim into CAS by using the “Change Sim” interaction on a Mirror or Dresser object, and then manipulate your Sim’s body to reasonably approximate their prior appearance.

For players with The Sims 4 Get to Work, crafted jewelry can now be sold at Retail businesses without being returned to the business owner Sims’ inventory when traveling away from the Retail lot.

If a Sim dies while wearing crafted jewelry, that jewelry will now be disassociated with the now-dead Sim when the jewelry is returned to the household’s inventory.

Updated some combinations of crafting jewelry that were resulting in a gemstone color that did not match the crystal that was selected when crafting.
