Nice list of fixes. Unfortunately the issue that bothered me the most, sims still moving after I paused the game, is still going on. Running off to AHQ now, to check things out.

Please no!!!! I was SOOO looking forward that this horrible pause moving bug gets fixed! :'( :'( :'(

My Sims keep only doing Goof Around, Ask What Happened and holiday interactions autonomously with each other #_#

Such a bummer. Wish I didn't update the game months ago when they messed up :/

I'm seeing this too :/

I wasn’t particularly bothered by the Wants and Fears system but I can see why it would be annoying for some. I do have two Sims who still get a Scared moodlet whilst outside despite getting rid of the fear of the dark, but I can drown it out with other moodlets.

I'm just glad they fixed the moving sims issue whenever the game was paused,, always felt like my sims were judging for stopping their lives while I took a break haha!

I found it downright creepy in many an instance. Plus, when I pause the game, it's mostly because I wanted a shot of them. Having them move eerily out of the position made capturing the moment even harder. So, I'm very glad this has been fixed. I haven't yet patched because I was assurance this wasn't a mod-buster patch.

Did you reboot your computer after the patching?

No update on neighbourhood stories huh? Well.. that's disappointing; I was hoping that'd be completed by now... D:

Welcome to the forums! Nope, this one isn't the "big" one, lol. There's the live stream on the 31st, then the big one. :)

I must be in the minority because I like it that something as small as slight movement still happens even though game is on pause. This reminds me of Sims 3 when the sims' heads would turn and watch what you were doing, like taking a painting off an easel and putting it on the wall. :D

I was so happy to not have to turn off wants and fears today. I always keep my houses paused when saving so I would have time to turn them off before some sim got a random fear.

New Answers Headquarters thread for alien face issue.

That is very frustrating. I hope this actually gets solved soon in the next couple patches and doesn't get put back on the low priority pile.

I'm still experiencing the creepy head turn when pausing after updating yesterday. Although it doesn't happen as frequently for me like it before the update.
