Patch Notes

Yeah! Couple's can now have a difficult relationship dynamic in Growing Together. I noticed the difficult dynamic isn't available for uncle's and aunt's either. I hope we can get another update to fix it.

« Teens that get expelled from high school will no longer be able to reenroll ».

What ?! Nooo!! I play with aging off, you mean to tell me that my sims, who got expelled when I wasn’t even playing them (I didn’t want this and don’t even know what they did wrong), and are systematically expelled at the end of every school day ever since, is gonna be out of school forever ??
No, please just make the “three strikes thingy” reset. I bought HSY to be able to use it.

Patch update sticks at 11% and won't go any further. Can't play the game because it forces the update.

This is the second update now where I've had to restart my laptop in order to get it to show up. Strange ...

Unbelievable, isn't it? Certainly not the solution I expected when I saw this point on the laundry list. My guess is that they couldn't figure out how to reset the strike system and just decided that not allowing expelled teenagers to re-enroll was the next best thing.

Well, now I'm definitely not updating until a modder fixes this. At the moment the patch doesn't even show up for me, but I can live without it. There isn't anything in the patch notes that I actually need.

Mines was stuck at 9% but it continued downloading after I pressed paused, then continue again.

Mine is stuck at 9% too. I only wish I had found this comment before restarting my computer. Hopefully it works now.

Edit: It's working now. For anyone else who might have this issue, if pausing the download and resuming does work, try a computer restart.

Unfortunately mine updates automatically.

It’s way too easy to get a strike anyway, I mean sometimes my sims just can’t make it to the classroom on time because it takes forever to cross the school. Or they had fallen asleep.
A lot of time they get strikes when I’m not even playing them, it’s not fair.

Same.

@Dianesims for the taking too long to get from point A to point B try this: pause the game, move the camera to where you want sim to go (ie: classroom & shift-click on the floor then choose "teleport here" (make sure they're standing first). Unpause & your sim should go where you told them to. You may know this already, but a reminder never hurts ?. I almost always dothis, saves a lot of time lol.
