Today's Sim's Delivery express?

I had a popup that said restart now and clicked on that. It restarted and was downloaded into my game. It doesn't tell you it was downloaded, but I found the items in my game. I don't believe there is a place that tells you what was downloaded.

The ethical thing would be to tell us what is being changed/added. This is an alteration to what is on someone's computer, so that someone should know and have veto power.

I didn't get an update notice today and I too wish there was an easy way to find what's new in the game. I would like a filter for new things or something.

Saw something on Twitter about new recipes and one of the university hairs turned base game. But I haven't confirmed

It’s going to come this month or the next, they just showed them during today’s live stream.

Huh. I didn't notice an update when I started the game today. The most recent one I remember is the one with the Korean clothing, which I think also had the New Year, New Hussle scenario( which I didn't bother with.) But I don't remember the scenario being announced.

Usually with items you can at least find a tweet if not a mention on the livestream.

Okay...I wonder why I got the notice. I've played every day in the past week so I got that last update with the Korean clothing last week.

Thanks for the info though, I'll chalk it up to "Something weird happened". Also thanks for the mention about a tweet, @DaWaterRat, that is the first place I look when I get a update (or more accurately, simgirl1010's thread where she links the tweets), so I will just keep doing that.

I'm glad to play offline. I will not allow added stuff without even knowing what was added.

I just checked my game, but found no new delivery. The other day something odd happened though. I played offline due to switching my internet provider and I continuously got the message that an update was in progress and to go online if I remember right. Once I clicked on the box in the message, the game options menu for sims delivery opened. Nothing happened though. The next time I went online, nothing new was downloaded. I still don't know what this was about. This was days after I had already downloaded the Korean clothing.

I think that was one of the reasons they added the new delivery system, so they didn’t have to make an announcement of what they’ve added?

Sorry for the odd questions I am about to ask but I haven't been keeping up with this particular 'new' way of updating the game. Now, are these considered to be updates and download if you're online and load the game? Do we have the option to ignore these? Is the new content optional and easily turned off? I have ignored every available update Maxis has released since August. Plus, I don't want to update my game unless a new pack I can't live without comes along. And why aren't the devs or gurus releasing any information about what we are getting? I've seen a few threads about this, but I am still very confused. Someone stated we would be able to choose what we want to download. Someone else said the opposite. And the gurus seem to be talking in circles about this. I have wanted to have a choice about ignoring certain updates for about three years, and if it's true the Express method will allow me to have more control over what is installed in my game, I am all for it. But before I do a happy dance over it, I would sure like to know what to expect.

In the game options menu under sims delivery you can chose how frequently you want your game to check for new deliveries. You can do this hourly, every 30 mins, only on startup or never. Additionally there is a check box which lets you chose whether you want to download the new delivery automatically or not. So you can basically opt out of deliveries by choosing the option to never check for deliveries and to not download automatically.

If you go into the "Game options" you will find a settings menu for "Sims Delivery", @Paigeisin5 and you can turn them off there if you don't want them to get applied and downloaded.

That said, they are not the same as normal game patches/updates and if you connect with Origin those will still happen automatically regardless of how you set your Sim Delivery options. So if you don't want updates, you need to keep playing offline.
