October Patch Speculation 2020 (Now Available)

My guess is October 6, fingers crossed

Let’s hope for some eco fixes and maybe the gardening thing too

I’m disappointed there isn’t at-least 1 screenshot of the skin tones.

They're probably not finished yet. Nothing to show.

It's coming out in two weeks, but a bigger one will be out after that.
They said at least 100 new skin tones (focusing on darker tones) and a slider to make them lighter or darker. Along with sliders for makeup. Then they'll be updating two of the base game hairstyles

Simsvip posted that picture, it’s not what EA posted in their article. It might not even be what we’re getting

With the EP presumably scheduled for November and the big skin update scheduled for December, I don't think we'll be getting a huge patch in terms of new stuff. Probably just the improved base skin maps.

I'm hoping we'll get some tuning updates for certain NAPs (like not stealing required stuff from community lots) and maybe they've tracked down the plants reverting to harvestable bug.

I'm sure there are other bugs that will be fixed and others that I want to be fixed, but I haven't played as much as I normally do for the past month, because of real-life stuff, so I can't bring anything else to mind.

They'll be updating two of them in October, then two more (along with the 100 new skin tones, plus skin/makeup sliders) will be in December.

I'm thinking we'll see a patch sometime in the middle of October and shortly after that an announcement for EP10 for a mid-November release. They'll probably be trying to squash as many of the EL bugs as possible.

At this point I have very low expectations for patches. It's been 4 months since EL and a lot of patches yet the biggest bugs are still not fixed. They'll just bring in the skin tones and next pack which will make a whole load more bugs to take over. They have a bad habit with just piling more and more in and just ignoring the problems which I don't see changing anytime soon.
