July Patch Speculation 2021 (Emergency Patch Is Out)

i doubt they're gonna add cars any time soon, but if they do it'll probably be in a game pack and not a free update

Drivable cars would probably have to be a free update because they'd have to program in the routing. Cars that just sit on your lot and can be upgraded and open the world map could be a game pack. (or even a stuff pack.)

However, the other reason to bring cars as a base game is so that they could add cars to future packs without invoking the ire of the Anti-DLC for DLC crowd.

Considering they did the routing for dog walks and hiking in DLC, I don't think it will keep it out of DLC.

Also, the same logic applies to pets and anything else. To name some examples of alienated things by DLC for DLC: pets, lifestyles, aliens, mermaids, pretty well all occults, weather, other Seasons content (though maybe calendar will be BG), etc. So it isn't really a reason they will not. Finding out lifestyles won't get more additions was tragic in my opinion because I think it could be so good, but alas here we are.

They will do cars however they want.

Fixing the broken mirror reflections would be nice.

I think that's on the list of bug fixes coming.

Maxis needs to add more pool items in the July Update.

Well, they could fix the gardening bug. This time for real :D

Well, they could also fix these babies skintones it's still glitched. Oh, and by the way Sentiments also seem glitched since we get them just like after a few minutes of knowing a new sim.

Yeah that’s really odd to get Sentiments so quick with Sims who barely know each other. ?

Hi Simmers!



Welcome to the Laundry List where we’ll share a list of the top community concerns that we’re currently investigating and hope to have resolved in the upcoming patch.

These concerns were reported by players who help us continue our work of improving the user experience on a regular basis.

Please note that some topics can be tricky and require an extended investigation on our end, so even though we are actively investigating it’s not a guarantee that we’ll have an immediate fix for it in the upcoming patch.

Also note that this is just a list of the “top” concerns. There are more topics that we saw reported by players that are not listed and being worked on.

So, without further ado, here is a list of the top community concerns we’re currently investigating:



Dried Scales Moodlet Won't Go Away
Animation to put laundry in washing machine is glitched
Whiskers not showing up on cats in CAP
Bunny Slope not counting for Extreme Sports Enthusiast
Slopes not unlocking beyond easy
Walls disappearing / Clipping in mirror reflection
Sectional Couch Swatches: Colors differ slightly per section
Sims fail university despite meeting all criteria
Expire Date on food vanishes when put in fridge/ Travelling
Can't Purchase Droid
Scattered Panes windows have incorrect shadow
'New' Highlights in Buy mode doesn't disappear
Family Tree and "Step" relationships broken
Broken family tree
Top-notch Trickery: ID Card vanishes
Sleep interactions gets stuck in queue
Troubles getting/keeping roommates


Thanks for all your patience and valuable help! Please continue telling us about any issues you’re experiencing on Answers HQ, we’ll continue to work on improving our transparency, and together we can make this game the best that it can be. Happy Simming!

The calendar is coming to the base game for everyone in the July Update.

So, we're actually going to have two separate calendars instead of the Seasons calendar being upgrade, so weird. :o
