Looking forward to it. My game hasn’t had any severe issues but I know many people still cannot play theirs. Hoping this update helps a lot of players.

I'll have to remove all my cc and back up and boycott for it, hopefully even if it's small they were able to fix the noticieable issues.

@simgirl1010 Thank you for the warning. I'm making sure my game is offline until I hear this update is safe. I had some scary moments with my main save after that last update, lesson learned.

I haven't had major issues. Just some little bugs that need to be fixed, like not being able to keep Wants/Fears turned off and a few small issues. Hopefully the bug fix will help those who were seriously affected by the update.

Thanks for the warning. I am still not over the disaster high school years patch and especially how origin forced some players to update by making it possible to play offline. I will not update right away, that is if origin allows me play offline like we used to before the high school patch.If there is one thing that I learned last month, it is that patches are no longer a fun thing to look forward to but something to dread and avoid if you can. I have little hope for the promised fixes. Just look at how long the rocket bug took to get fixed. And the reverting plant bug has been toned down but is still not completely gone despite the many claims. And even if they would fix the most important issues, I will still be stuck with wants and fears (I just want whims/wishes without fears), body hair appearing on random female townies, distorted age lengths (teens in sims are now too long compared to children and toddlers) and gender preferences. This does not mean I am against same sex relationships, it just means I prefer the old system where gender preference was implied instead of actual boxes to tick. I always admired that until the last update in the sims world gender did not matter and any sim could develop feelings for any sim. I don't like sims turning each other down because they are the 'wrong' gender. If only this update could undo the last one. That is what I really want.

Update Now Available, Tuesday 8/30

They fixed the light in Copperdale ? Nice!
I hoped they fixed the new eyebrows swatches too.

Oh good, they fixed bugs with scenarios. I know those were the ones on the top of everyone's please-fix-this list!

Fears make the game nearly unplayable and all they fix are scenarios and high school years? No mention about wants and fears or the aging bug? Exactly the kind of patch I expected.

Is this a joke?
Nothing but scenarios... scenarios and more scenarios. They forgot to fix the bugs that are actually ruining the game. :disappointed:

Happy about DHD Room Additions being fixed.

And that the phone usage has been toned down for non-teen sims.

But I gotta say, my mouth dropped and I was like W t F-ery when I was reading the Base Game updates, did anybody else wonder why it appeared that basically the ONLY THINGS they were focusing on were about scenarios?

Spoiler
• We clarified some Scenario goals.
• Text for Scenarios with existing households also is more accurate.
• Limited-Time Scenarios show that they are time-limited again and end at the proper time.
• Scenarios info popups now have a link to Lessons so you can learn more about them.
• Lessons for Scenarios have new images.
• Scenarios no longer immediately complete when starting a second Scenario in the same saved game.
• The Event and Scenarios details panels no longer are blank when double clicking their button for information.
• We made some small interface improvements for Scenarios. For example, when selecting an existing household for a Scenario, the button to configure Neighborhood Stories no longer appears.
• In the My Households tab, households with active Scenarios no longer have a purple heart icon while Neighborhood Stories is inactive.
• The Scenario bubble no longer overlaps with the sidebar for some resolutions.
• The "Engaged in Conflict" Scenario no longer repeats the 'On Second Thought' goal.
• Scenario "Perfectly Well-Rounded" has the goal to "Reach Level 3 in Any Skill" which now can be completed.

I see the remnants of the aging glitch haven't been fixed. But I guess this is a good patch for scenarios, since they got the lion's share of updates and bug fixes, outside of HSY.

I'm quite upset about all these resources wasted on scenarios and pronouns while the real bugs remain open. Restaurants? Toddler traits/genetics? Paranormal career? Sims not running any more?

I never play Scenarios, they don't really interest me. So yeah that's kinda annoying that they only focused on Scenarios for the patch. Ugh.

I'm starting to understand why people have rage quit this game over the incompetent and insulting "support."

Yeah I don't really play with scenarios,
don't particularily use pronouns enough to notice issues with those
don't have HSY soooo 90% of this patch is probably not gonna have anything to do with my gameplay at the moment
i guess its nice though when/if i eventually get HSY :sweat_smile:

I'm glad if the doctor animations are fixed though
and i did notice the toddler alien leg thing recently due to mortimers alien babe so nice if that is gone

I wonder since phone is only mentioned in HSY did they only fix overdone phone usage brought by HSY
not like base game phone overuse that came with patch? which is the actual freaking issue?

Wow. Yeah the focus on scenarios is incredibly disappointing. I was especially hoping for a fix for sims autonomously flirting with happily taken sims. Their partners keep getting angry even though there's no romance bar. :(
