So what you think the surprise update will be ?

Does anyone know at what time today the update will be released/go into effect, in game?

serendipity38A little more than two hours from now.

check out this countdown:

WhenIsWinterThank you so much for that!

Would be cool if they broke in using the crowbar instead of just waltzing in like in the previous games.  They've already made the animation for it in For Rent IIRC.

The break in animation in For Rent is hilarious.

Wow. You know I read the emails we get sent, and sometimes I simply browse the topics on these forums. How come I'm just learning about this now? Thank you so much for the link! A double whammy after the previous patch has nearly broken my current game save . . . Is it okay if I hide in a corner and sob? I'm going to go back up my game, remove my Mods folder, lest the patch is ready, which it most likely is, since you posted four hours ago.  Dang, just when I had my save mostly sorted out, too.

My hope is, besides what you mentioned, is that our Sims can fight them off. We could do that in Sims2. Sims 3, no, your Sim practically had to have a Black Belt in Karate. Erik has already had his very first Starlight Accolade stolen.  Just sayin'.

I hope they give us some more business signs for our businesses. Neon signs would be nice for night time glow and ambience...anything.

I wish new update would be free world creator - I miss making my own slots and scenery. Would love to do whole town by myself without removing EA buildings... 

GalacticGalI hope you didn’t sob in the corner and that your game will be alright!
