The following issues are scheduled to be resolved in Tuesday's patch. https://x.com/TheSimsDirect/status/1810695291974381592

the update is nice so far though I wonder why they said they want to be more inclusive but took away husband, fiance why can't we have both groups of terms? That is a valid question

I agree that it's not really inclusive if they exclude gender appropriate terms. They should offer the alternative of the gender ambiguous terms for those who want to use them but not remove the traditionally gendered options.

Sul Sul Simmers!Welcome to this month’s Laundry List, where we share the top community concerns we’re currently investigating and aim to resolve in an upcoming patch.To stay on track with the goal stated in our previous Laundry List, the team continues to dedicate their time to prioritizing more fixes to include in each update. This is our second release in this series, with the next scheduled for roughly 2 months from now. This time, we are tackling over 60 issues to make for a better gameplay experience.As always, the list below is just a top list, and there are more topics that we saw reported by players that are not listed here but may still be in the process of being solved. Some topics can be tricky and require an extended investigation on our end, so even though we are actively reviewing, it’s not a guarantee that we’ll have an immediate fix for it in the upcoming patch.This list is primarily generated by leveraging the player reports via Answers HQ. Thank you to everyone who continues to help our work of improving the user experience via their reports.Here’s the list of community concerns we’re investigating for the game update this month:Console :(Base Game) Reduced processing lag occuring a few minutes after launching the game that resulted in stuttering S...(For Rent) [PS/XB] You can now enter ‘Rent per day’ amount with a controller.(For Rent) Change floor up/down can now use the d-pad instead of bumpers on Residential Rental display in world select view.Gallery[DX11] Placing a lot from the Gallery will no longer display building lot screen with an incorrect overlay effect.Base Game:Sims will no longer receive a “Break-Up“ want when they have a High Romantic Relationship with that sim.[DX11] Now able to switch windows in Fullscreen mode using Alt+Tab.When a Sim changes path without stopping (canceling & changing their route) they will no longer teleport to their final destination.Toddlers will receive Top Notch and Happy reward traits after achieving required skills.Stair Railings will no longer disappear when one tile is placed next to one tile room.When leaving CAS, the makeup sliders will stop reverting to their default settings and will remain h...When two Sims are on a date, other NPCs on the lot will stop trying to join a conversation; causing awkward conversations.Fixed many cases of Fingernails warping when worn with certain outfits.Fixed many cases of Fingernails getting warped when applied to female physical frame for male sim and vice versa.Enchanting and Flirty Interactions are not available if not correctly aligned with gender preference.

This remains our primary source for information to troubleshoot player experiences, and any and all details are helpful for our team. As with every patch, please remember to remove any external game mods and custom content if you are experiencing issues, as they may conflict with the updates.Thank you once more for working with us to continue to improve on the experience of our Simmers, and for making this game the best it can be.We’ll catch you in the next Laundry List - Happy Simming!

A little heads up, if you use the copy feature in CAS it will copy the item to ALL outfits in the chosen category. So if you have 5 outfits for hot weather, and you really like the new pants you've selected to be on one of them and you choose copy to hot weather, it will replace the bottoms on all five outfits, not just the first one. In other words, use with care and consideration.

Is there no update for consoles? No updates available for me :(

Edit: anyone else having this problem, hold the power button on your console and let it restart. The update wasn't available for me on Series X (Xbox) until I did this.
