And...live stream is over. No new content confirmed for October because they are "polishing" it and making it nice and shiny. However, we did get a glimpse of what looks like a TERRAIN TOOL, a new career coming (no word yet on whether it is an active career, a form of self-employment, or a rabbit hole career), and what looks possibly like a sketchbook and maybe the ability to create art on the computer, if my interpretation of what I saw is correct.

One use of the terrain tool that I would love to see in this game would be the ability to create my childhood home, which was built on a hill. The basement door exits at the bottom of the hill, and the front door and kitchen sliding door exit at the top of the hill. Yes, it was a two-story home. Part of it was underground under the hill.

They said it was a work-from-home career, like the City Living careers and the Gardening career from Seasons.

I love that style of career -- I'm using a suite of mods that adds work from home features to base game careers.

I actually think the fashionista is a great addition. Some people won't use it, sure. Others will absolutely love it. I'll use it on occasion if I want to make the townies look ridiculous (because I like ridiculous). It will be fun to play with.

The terrain tools are absolutely amazing, though.

Thank you gurus for this patch. I think it's great.

New career looks interesting and terrain tools are going to immensely change the in-game environment. But I am still wondering what were those clips from the voice actors about and did they hint at a possible announcement (for next week) at the end of the stream?

Well that was a downer, no October patch.

So, we are not gonna see a patch in October either? I stopped playing the game a couple months ago because of some of these bugs that need to be fixed such as the non-interactive sims bug. It's cool that they are creating new stuff, but did they forget about these bugs that need to be addressed and fixed? I kinda think they should be the priority... I personally don't want any more new content because these critical bugs are ruining the game. I am sorry, but I am just getting the feeling that the devs don't even care and just want to skip the bugs and go on to new content while the game continues to get in worse shape. I don't even know what to think of this anymore. I regret purchasing Seasons and updating to that patch just before Seasons which destroyed the game and turned all of the background Sims into mindless zombies...

Did anyone else see at the end he made one building with foundation and another one without? Am I hallucinating? Please someone tell me I am not wrong! I have NEEDED this feature since day 1!!

Did you notice that you would have the option of just bulldozing the house or the house and terrain with it? I've just checked back and noticed it when SimGuruRomeo bulldozed the house.

Did anyone notice the building that looked like a garage at the end? I haven't read all the previous post.

No offense intended, but that was so lame.

A fashion influencer career? Maxis you can do better. That was just so so lame......I'm so sad...TS4 just really isn't coming through.

It's not a modelling career, it's not a stylist career, it's another stupid instagram career. I like the new digital art sketch pad, but you can't even do fashion sketches, so....what the actual..... There's no fabric sampling, just writing more articles on the computer....how fun. And the animations look like they are straight out of the Sims Mobile, so disappointing. I thought it was going to be a better update.

ALso, the digital art sketch pad does everything an easel does....it's a cool object but really, why are we getting another object that does everything we already can do in the game? TS4 can't afford that luxury with it's lack of content. So disappointed.

It’s free.
It’s designed so you can paint from reference on the fly, which makes sense.
Not everyone wants to take an easel out.
We’re also getting terrain tools.

It’s a good patch. Let’s not jump to doom and gloom.

You’re holding “paid content” expectations for a free patch.

@Sigzy05 Also, they told us that this was an early, early look. Sneak peek. There's probably more included that they haven't shown.
