Question I haven't seen, so sorry if it has been asked.

I know with the pack you can no longer do the old Wedding events, but can you still elope at a random wedding arch? Or just elope at all? Despite it being the focus of the pack, I still don't want every wedding to be a major production.

Wait, wait, where was this stated??? They're giving us something new and taking away choice????

I actually know the answer to your question though, there's a "city hall" rabbithole you can elope from. I'll try to find where I saw that and quote it or link or something.

It was something I saw on Dr. Gluon's stream last night. He tried to marry his simself to James Turner's simself and when he was showing off the new events, the regular "wedding" event was gone, replaced by the menu for the new events.

I was watching on my laptop, so it's possible I missed something, but Gluon also said that the old style wedding event was gone and replaced by the new.

And I know there's a city hall, but I don't want to take my sims to Tartosa just to elope. :smile:

You can elope without even using a wedding arch just from the Sim menu, and there's that City Hall option which they showed us in their Live Stream, but I haven't seen anyone previewing the pack show us if the option for it is still on the wedding arches too. The only time anyone is clicking an arch in any of the streams I have watched is when they are already within the wedding event.

Hopefully @EmmaVane can answer that for us when she gets a chance. I'm curious too now that you have brought it up. I normally make big productions out of weddings, but it would be nice to still have that option to go to a venue and just do a "quick elopement" at the arch.

Yeah, I do a lot of "heat of the moment" weddings at the Romance Festival, and I'm hoping I can keep that as an option.

@DaWaterRat Ah, I get you. Good point.

I think it's sort of poopy that the old weddings will no longer be an option but I guess maybe one would just have to not pick the most obviously buggy activities. So say if I just pick "exchange vows" or whatever, it would probably be the same as the old way, since I have a mod that makes guests sit and pay attention at weddings, and it actually works! Well, mostly. Sims are stupid and stubborn, but it's better than vanilla anyway. I am definitely not going to be buying this next week. Or maybe ever. We'll see. That world, tho... argh.

I hope someone has an answer for you as to whether sims can still elope from the self-interaction or from the arches.

If you are using the same mod for sitting at weddings that I was using, by @83bienchen, she has recommended you remove it as well as a few others of her mods with this last patch.
No word from her yet now that the patch has actually landed, at least that I've seen. I figured better safe than sorry and have removed it for now.

@Stormkeep I actually use a mod by LittleMsSam called "sit please" and has add ons for weddings, TV, awards shows (Get Famous), video games, and performances at the microphone. Awesomeness! :smiley: And LittleMsSam did clear all her mods but a few, and this one was not included in the ones that needed updating. However, I did only update my game today and haven't played yet, been busy today, so it may no longer work, I dunno.

Just stopping in to post an update.

There is a big list of fixes coming in a launch day patch. Unfortunately that means all Early Access footage will be buggy and you may want to wait a while after release to see how well things work once patched.

Time for me to hop in game and bake things for a retail store. I'll post some pics as I go.

Do you know what the list of fixes is?

Yes. We were sent the list via email. The email says not to share the patch notes publicly, but @SimGuruFrost gave us the go ahead to mention there will be a patch.

I’m very happy there will be a patch! :smile:

I can’t imagine how much of a dumpsterfire disaster it would have been with releasing an world-wide-anticipated pack in which a major life event (that is also the core center of the pack) is unplayable and overly buggy, goodness!

Hope they fix many things so that the new new pack weddings will actually work. This is reassuring to at least know that they are working on a patch. :smile:

Yep, she did indeed. That wasn't one of her mods that I was even familiar with, because it's not on her site at all. She's very thoughtful that way, in how she doesn't post mods at her site if she's not the original author unless she has that author's permission.

Anyway, I searched and found it, over on MTS in the comments of the original mod which she is keeping up-to-date and you should be good to go, because she did post a comment indicating that specific mod is working fine and doesn't need an update for this week's patch.

So thank you for tipping me off to it! I'd never have known it existed had you not mentioned it. :)

@Stormkeep and @FatTribble23:
Sitatweddings works with the patch, I just don't think it will work with the pack (same with the other mods I mentioned in my thread btw, none of them need updating for the patch).
I have also already updated my mods and sent the updates to my host, but I didn't mention it as she didn't find time to upload them yet. There weren't any bigger or broken ones, just minor tweaks in preparation for the new pack for a few. Most updates were unrelated to the patch.
Sorry for the OT, but I've been tagged twice so I thought I should answer. I'm not doing much modding atm because of my disc prolapse, but if there had been any issues, I'd have posted in the broken mods thread. I also did a fix for the new wedding venue but that is also not online yet.
My host stopped playing the game altogether, since that time updates take longer to get released. I rely heavily on her help because of my health issues though, so I'm glad she continues to host my stuff.

Wishing you the best, @83bienchen. You are a treasure to the community and your health comes first.

Take Care. I hope you will feel better soon <3

Thank you for this update. Let's hope this launch day patch goes well.
