Patch Today: Available Now

Those 3 new hairs look fab! *chef's kiss*

And all those floors/walls getting new swatches? Yes please!

This is a huge patch and I'm really tempted to grab it, but we've been getting hammered with crazy thunderstorms all day (and it looks like it's going to go right through the night) so I'd rather not risk a power surge/outage in the middle of trying to download this big monster.

So I'll have to patiently wait until tomorrow.

My game is in a pretty brilliant state after the patch. No lag, even smoother transitions between live and build mode. And stable plants (at least for the moment)!!

So far good here too. No huge FPS drops so far, usually after changing build to live I get many , even in vanilla. Clicking settings and back use to help. *fingers crossed*

I really like the 3 new hair's they added in the patch. I gasp when I saw them especially the long single braid. I can delete some more Cc now.

They recategorize some traits. I don't really think love outdoors should've moved from lifestyles to hobbies. Though I've been craving for more hobby traits. That was the only move I didn't quite understand.

We've become such hermits over the last couple of years that going outside is now the equivalent a quirky hobby some people choose to partake in? ?

I think the thing I'm most excited about with all that's happening this week is the fact that they finally fixed the darn invention constructor!!! It only took two years. :D

So happy for this! There are quite a lot of bug fixes this time around and lots of exciting freebies.

Alas, I was so involved in hours of building tonight that I completely forgot about the patch so haven't updated yet.

I have lost my excitement for the EP, but I am excited about this patch. I am excited that we all get to share the new CAS items, no matter what our income level is.

I've noticed a big reduction in loading times too. Those times have been cut by almost half and that's with all of my mods and cc installed.

Some really good bug fixes. As always I will sit this one out for awhile even if I can't play offline. I don't want game breaking bugs even if I have backups.

One of the recently added nose presets, the pointy one, was suddenly changed and I don't see anything about it in the patchnotes.
Really hoping it's a bug and not a permanent change, because it changed the nose of several of my sims, and I'm not a fan.

The patch is awesome.


I just found this patch note really uninformative: "You can now enter Free Camera in Build Mode to get the best look at those Ceilings. Simply enable it as you would in Live Mode."


As a new player, I had no clue what that meant. After some internet searching, I found out you can use the Tab key in Build&Buy mode. Try that for anyone looking for it.

This is a feature I was desperate to have in build mode!! Omg. This is gonna be so handy!
