My game seemed alright after loading the new update. I took MCCC out to start with and the other mods were automatically disabled by the game. The save loaded up fine but it changed the birthdays of two of my sims - the toddler had his birthday brought forward from Sunday to Friday, and the baby from Sunday to Saturday. I haven’t changed the length for those two ages, so I can’t figure out why the birthdays changed. Also, the Egg Hunt event that I had put on the Sunday also changed to Friday.
My game did end up freezing but I’m not sure if it was because I put the updated version of MCCC in or whether because I accidentally got hybrid children. I’m new to the game and had a mermaid sim marry an alien. I noticed in CAS that the toddlers were body-less before the patch, but when the oldest toddler aged up, he went from having his father’s alien skin colour, hair and eyes, to having his mother’s colours, no alien eyes, and missing his legs while presumably in merman form. The save froze not long after this so as I said, not sure if it was because of that or the update. Didn’t even get a chance to try the sentiment feature :(.
I wouldn't promote my post again, but it took so long to put together... So, it would be great if this posts gets shared to those who are curious about what the other worlds have. I don't have a twitter account unfortunately...

For example, you can check how much days your sim has left in calendar in Seasons. And if you go on a vacation, hovering over a world will show features of the world (little ad texts for each world). I have written all those texts here! I'll put them under spoilers to first not take too much room and for those who want to find out themselves. Enjoy reading!

Ah, okay. Must be I looked too soon after the pop up saying she had a sentiment. I'll check again next time I get in the game. Thank you so much for replying to my question. Very much appreciated! <3
Wish I hadn't downloaded the patch! I can play for about 5 minutes then the lag is ridiculous and then the game freezes and I have to shut down my computer to get out of it. No mods, No CC. I repaired the game in Origin, deleted the localthumbcache, restarted my computer...nothing solved this issue. I've NEVER had a problem running this game. I had just come back to it after a 2 month break after seeing Snowy Escape but now I won't be buying that without a fix. I have to wonder if that pop-op from Origin about having to agree to download those new files (sorry don't remember what they were called) is the reason this is happening??
Ugh this patch corrupted my game. I have no mods/cc, never had. And now origin wouldn’t load the game saying it’s corrupted. I’ll be mighty angry if my saves are ruined ??

The update required you to download Visual C++ 2015 and 2019. It also required my computer to restart after that. Maybe they updated the drivers.
So far the game is running fine for me without mods on my laptop...I have not updated it yet on my desktop PC...
Downloaded the patch, removed all my mods, started a new save, everything looks great, no crashes, woo hoo! Then he went to eat, and immediately after walked to the bathroom to do the dishes. I was CRUSHED that this bug fix didn’t take.
I'm so happy about the bug fixes! Especially for saying goodbye to the neverending movies, chess and voidcritter games and the garden fix :blush: I can finally play with my families that have cowplants again.
I also can't wait for my sims and their toddlers to go on vacations. I wanted to do that before with one family and was a bit sad that it wasn't possible then!
I'm installing all system updates that windows wants right now. And making sure my graphics drivers are up-to-date. And I've taken out my mods, tray and backed up my saves. I'm almost ready to let the game update. Wish me luck!

I refuse to patch myself, but it stinks, because my son preordered the ep so now can't download it tomorrow night unless this fixed. I won't patch even to install ep.
