February Patch Speculation Thread 2025 (Now Out)
With the expansion coming March 6th we may be getting a Big Pre EP Patch. What we got the other day was just announced SDX Drop. Time to speculate.
Forum Discussion
My guesses
- handiness overhaul : restauration workshop and the workbench in the artist kit last year could point in that direction. Besides we already had updates for gardening, cooking, fishing (fish together) and painting (digital sketch pad). But nothing for the workbench in 10 years . I hope we can get more variety in objects we can make.
- Burglars : various hints for example the milk cartons in the latest event, a masked figure on the current road.
- CAS update regarding to tattoos. With tattoos shown in the trailer teaser, I can't see this not happening. Someone suggested a paint feature similar to cats and dogs and werewolves. That would be cool. Tattoos also need a pack filter in my opinion.
It always bothered me that I was never able to have my Sims create a guitar or a violin like it showed in the previews of the Sims 4. I see them in buy mode, I see townies in San Myshuno pull one of the poorly crafted ones out to use when busking for tips. I don't want to buy the item. i want my Sim to make it. Maybe with the patch, that'll finally be possible? 🤪
I think it is already possible with a high handy skill. You can craft them on the ... I don't know how it's called in English, but I know for sure you can craft instruments like violins and guitars on it. That thing that help you increase your handiness skill. The items don't appear in your inventory, though but in the household inventory (the one in buy / build mode). You can place them somewhere and then your Sim can take the crafted instrument in their normal inventory.
Weird. In all my GPs I have at least one Sim max the handiness skill. I have never been given the option of craft a musical instrument. From a knife block, to small sculptures, to barstools, to chairs and tables, to bathtubs and finally a freaking toilet... (add in the things from Outdoor Retreat) That is it.
In addition to having high handiness skill, your sim also has to have a certain skill level (I think level 8) in each instrument (violin or guitar) to be able to craft them on the woodworking table.
