October 27 BG Update: Patch Notes Now Available

Hopefully it'll get added in a future update.

Is that venue in the game? 🤔

XD Same but I started using Fitness control so I didn't need to worry about until maybe this update. I'm not sure if the toggle will appear on young sims but we will see.

I'm on a hiatus from playing The Sims 4 at the moment (even though I'm still updating it), so I don't know if the fix applies to this problem. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Although, mine developed the same bad habit. 🤦🏻‍♀️

"Sims will no longer put food in inappropriate places in general (this includes display cases)"

What about sticking stuff into their personal inventories until the food has spoiled? Yikes. Or are my Sims the only ones with such a bad habit?

I often use MCCC to flag their physique. I dislike the look of People and Sims who are so muscle-bound, they no longer look human. 😮

Lock TV isn't available in venues ... It's sad because it would be useful to lock for everyone in nightclub

Gosh, I always just take the chunky wee ones into cas.fulleditmode, and toggle them down to a proper size, Healthwise. But, that's just me.

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.

Simulation, if you're here, are you sure this is the last QoL update?

Does the weight toggles apply to all ages. Since I'm going to be using mainly for my Ghost since I feel like Ghosts don't have weight gain in my opinion and since I have Young Ghosts Return I hope this option is allowed for all ages like infants and toddlers. Toddlers and infants really have no way to loose weight at least that I know of. So most toddlers when I didn't use fitness control were always big since I couldn't find a way to help them loose weight. So that's why if someone does know or when I update my game eventually. This toggle is also for young sims.
