July Patch Speculation 2020 (2nd Patch Is Out)

It's time to speculate about the Next Update again and I hope it's a pretty big one in July.

I'm hoping for a Summer Update that adds more pool items eg Pool Slides and Pool Waterfall and prehaps some outdoor lighting for fences. There is also the possibity the gallery is being updated with a new feature see post.

Aside from a Summer Update I'm hoping we get a lot of bug fixes to both pc and consoles. For consoles bug fixes to make the game lag less and not crash on community lots.

Niffty Knitting might release in July. If so this would be a Pre Sp Patch to the base game.

Update
July 8 2020

Patch Notes
Update 07/08/2020
PC: 1.64.84.1020 / Mac: 1.64.84.1220
Console: Version 1.28


Hello Simmers!

We have a small but important update for you to address a couple of critical issues. As well as a “Coming Soon” feature announcement that you can find in The Gallery! We hope you will join in on the fun as we get closer to the 17th! Check out the Gallery for more details!

Happy Simming,
SimGuruGnome Ft. SimGuruRusskii

And now onto the fixes:

Sims 4
Fixed an issue with cycling swatch options while using the Numpad + and - keys.
Fixed an issue which caused Error 122:324a2e8e to occur.
Fixed an issue which caused Error 134:b378c837 to occur.
Hello Error 134, was it me you were looking for? I don’t wonder where you are (now) and I don’t wonder what you do (now), I hope you don’t get lonely…
Fixed an issue in which when two Households were on Vacation (or one of them were), the messages for Vacation Ending were ambiguous or incorrect.
Fixed an issue for Consoles in which the Main Menu became unresponsive when disconnected from The Gallery.
Fixed an issue in which if Simmers were offline and they clicked on The Gallery tab or their Profile tab resulted in their contents in My Library would disappear.
We turned it off and on again.
Made some updates to some of the icons for Off-The-Grid related Moodlets.
Fixed an issue in which some floor textures were disappearing if Stilts were put over terrain tiles. Kinda groovy but we had to fix that.
Create a Sim asset yfBody_EF18SportStriped_SolidBlueTurquoise has been fixed to avoid clipping with all types of shoes. In the same vein, we fixed a clipping issue when top yfTop_EP03JacketTie_SolidBlueDkBlue is paired with bottom yfBottom_EP02SkirtAsym_Blue (for those who own Get Together and City Living).

Get Together
Corrected Residential Lot status of “The Summer Home” Lot in Winderburg. Against all previous evidence, it is actually NOT an Incomplete Lot.

Discover University
Fixed an issue in which the game froze when moving to dorms in University of Britechester when giving control to another Sim.
The University of Britechester and The Foxbury Institute have now associated some of their Degrees with Freelancer Maker and Civil Designer careers! See you next term Simmers!

Eco Lifestyle
Fixed an issue in which the Fabrication sound effect continued playing even after Fabricator had completed its task. Had the Fabricator become sentient… self aware?
Sims will now actually receive their inheritance after Marrying within the 7 days as instructed. Marry for love or Simoleons?
Next on Pasión de Simoleones.
-”Roberto Alejandro del Valle de la Mancha - I love you, I’m glad we are finally together after numerous Sim days and nights… even at Super Speed 3… it felt like an eternity not being able to tell you about my feelings…”
-”Catalina Josefina Martínez Ochoa de la Trinidad, I loved you since you got that phone message saying you had an inheritance coming… my love will be with you always… or at least until my Motherlode cheat stops working and those Simoleons run out…”
-”Oh Roberto Alejandro…
Don’t miss our next episode…
Somebody please stop Russkii.
Fixed an issue in which while playing in Low Medium Graphic Settings, doors and windows would not display in Pinecrest Apartments. Where did they go? What secrets have they unveiled?
Corrected some terminology related to policies in the Bills and Utilities interface.
Fixed an issue in which when zooming in Pinecrest Apartments, you could sometimes see a hole in the ground without textures. Nothing ominous, no… right?

Tiny Living
The 'All Included!' Lamp With Storage is no more, it has become the 'Not All Included!' Lamp Without Storage as our text writer was deceived and the Lamp does not allow a deco slot. Shenanigans!

    A game changer did ??

    Game changers one of the worst things to happen to the Sims. All these big issues that have been requested for years now ignored and 1 game changer request naming the cow plant and its done and named after her oh joy.


    Yeah, it's getting ridiculous...
  • Well, bummer. Again, the patch didn't live up to the hype. Who would have guessed. ;)
    At least it contained some bugfixes for very annoying things.

    I mean after the last patch it was pretty clear that this one would be small and I don't think they wasted too many resources on naming the cow plant. I actually find it a cute addition :#


    I never even use cowplants, but I'm not bothered by it either, I laughed when I saw because I remember it trending. The last patch brought a lot of useful stuff, so I did expect this one to be small too. Problem is I can't even play the game right now and I don't know when that's going to get fixed.

    I hate to get meta here but I've ranted about this before, and how the "Gurus" seem to ignore regular sims players in favor of those influencers with the blue check mark by their name. This just confirms what myself and others have already suspected for a while now.
  • i don't feel in the least concerned about myself being a "regular" sim player. I don't record and upload videos or attend EA events...I do play the sims ..regularly...naming the cow plant was ok and the smaller version of the ceiling light is great...looking forward to nifty knitting..i more/less figure that when it comes to getting the bug fixes for eco living ..it is not going to happen as i would have liked ...ya know you win some and you loose some ..but thanks to those who do post on youtube and others ..i didn't purchase the expansion pack because i knew the bugs would be a real issue for me..so sorry for those whose games have become unplayable...would you not just remove that expansion pack to begin playing your game as it was before once again?

    Yep. This whole Game Changer program does the community more harm than good.
    There also was a former Game Changer who had a Tumblr page leave the program because of the mess.

    You can read all about it here:

    it wasn't because of one game changer. lilsimsie said we could name bikes but we couldn't rename cowplants and it was a bit ridiculous we could name wands and random other ???? but not cowplants which are technically a "pet". she asked her viewers if they agreed to trend a hashtag.

    it makes sense, and it was probably something ridiculously easy to code in. chill out guys. plenty of people wanted it, they constantly trended that tag on the gallery and spammed the sim gurus on twitter for it. she might've brought it up but lots of people got on board with it.

    i found it really cute. you guys are weird, chill out. just cause we got the ability to name cowplants doesn't mean the other stuff you guys want will never exist. you guys threw this same fit over the door recolors. surprise surprise that wasn't the last ever update and nor is this.


    Nah I'm gonna be honest, if this was the "summer surprise" that was hinted at then it's a very lame one.
