As a Quality of Life update, we've moved all previously uncategorized interactions that are considered "self-interactions" into a new "Sim Options..." category that can be accessed by selecting the Sim that is actively played. Some examples of these interactions include: Disable Attraction (Lovestruck), Set Rock Paper Scissors Preference (Adventure Awaits), Utensil Preference (Snowy Escape), and Sim Physique (Base Game).
I've noticed that when I was trying out the new Sim Physique option on Sakumo, Laura, Kakashi, and Yusei.
We've improved our Save Backup experience to calculate slightly differently. Previously, it wasn't always tracking as well as we'd have liked if a player didn't play for an extended period of time between sessions. Now, it will.
This should be helpful. 🤞🏻
Televisions are now able to be locked similarly to computers to ensure only certain Sims will use certain Televisions. As an example: You’ve built a playroom for your Child Sim, but the adults keep using that Child playroom TV… now, you can set it so only that specific Child uses it.
That only leaves the bookshelves (there's two in the household's current residence) and fridge that I should be worried about whenever townies come over for a visit or a party.
Sims will no longer get stuck in a state where they go jogging with food in their hand.
Visitors no longer immediately leave non-residential venues.
The camera in basements will now adjust to the floor rather than the ceiling.
Sims will no longer get intense muscle gain or weight loss after doing Sword Fighting.
🎉
The Master of Grudges Aspiration will now also properly give a Sim the Dastardly Bonus Trait.
I can confirm that Kakashi, my "guinea pig" sim for the Master of Grudges Aspiration, now has the Reward Trait. 😄 Although, it's shown as Merciless instead of Dastardly. 🤨
Sims can once again Kiss and Make Out while sitting together in a Hot Tub.
Yay! Now there will be some romantic LauKashi (what I've been calling the relationship between Laura and Kakashi) hot tub moments in the near future. 🤭

This should complete my ramblings for the October 2026 update.
