I play rotational and I have mixed feelings about the new way that "resume" works. On the one hand, it will be great when I'm resuming with the intent to play the same household I left when I last played, on the other hand it's an extra step when I'm going to be switching households immediately.

I rotate once per (sim) week, and I very often save and exit just as it is time to rotate, that being a good stopping point for my play. I think I'd love the change if I did not play rotational though.

But you can select instead ‘load’ file.... So, I don’t see the issue with the resume option; sure, again another step, but not a long wait for your save(s) to pop up to load one..
If ‘load’ game wasn’t there— I’d see a problem lol. But yeah, we don’t lose or miss out on anything by choosing load over ‘resume’... So yeah. Change shouldn’t create an issue.

They didn't mention fixing the bug where your Sim couldn't build a rocket ship, but I had the bug before and don't have it now.

Funny how different people view the resume button for rotational play.

Personally, I don't quit my game until I have readied it for the next session - so if I am due to rotate to my next house I do that before I quit. The resume button is therefore quite handy for me.

I don't much like the design of the main menu as a whole though. It's a bit blinding. Nothing subtle going on there...

I never use the Resume button, only ever Load Game. If they changed it so that Load Game loaded us into the last played household, I'd be annoyed, because I don't play regular rotations. Instead I keep a list of how many days each household has left in a round. If they reach zero days, I cannot play them until the others depleted their time, too. Which household of my currently eight I'm going to play when I start a session is decided on a whim, so the game defaulting to the last played one has a high chance of loading the wrong one, adding extra steps that weren't there before.

Are you playing the same save file where you originally encountered the rocket glitch? Or are you playing in a new save?

I was just playing around in CAS after the update, and now when you click to add nails it goes straight to a closeup of the sims hand. Now you can truly see what those pretty nails look like on your sim without having to squint.

Have you seen this yet, @Chicklet453681? It only works on the hands, not the feet.

@DaniRose2143
That was added with the refresh. Did it stop working at some point? I haven't added nails in CAS in a little while.

Edit: Nope. I haven't updated, and I can still access the nails close up. Also sadly still doesn't do it for rings.

I had never seen that until about an hour and a half ago. I add nails to 75%+ of my sims.

@DaniRose2143
Weird. You can go as far back as the early videos for it to see the close-up feature.

The resume button is a good addition. It’s always baffled me when I’ve returned to the same save and the same save ends up in a different world on a different family from what I was playing when I last played.

I think the team are making some good additions and changes.
I still want to have DHD fixed though..
