Well, it wasn't in the patch notes but Prom seems to be greatly improved. In addition to a new color scheme for the tasks in the upper left corner, each task you achieve gives a greater amount towards filling the bar. I just got gold and we haven't even had the award ceremony yet. I know many are disappointed in the patch but there are some things that may be fixed/improved but not listed out.

Retirement is also apparently fixed. No LE when your sims retire now and works like normal. Yay

They nerfed prom???

My sim just had a baby, she actually had twins LOL. But yeah the whole surgery machine thing is still broken. The Drs no longer stand in T pose and the sim does not shift off the table anymore, but the machine is none reactive its just there doing nothing. I do hope it gets fixed, I miss my sim's surgery animations ;)

Yeah, and the scientist invention machine still does not play the animations anymore for inventing. I miss those and the surgery machine. Not sure why they can't seem to get those working but apparently it's not possible. They have been broken for at least a year now so I've given up hope that they'll ever return.

Looks like none of the major issues were fixed half that list is scenarios...

So nothing about Wants and Fears (unless my eyesight deceives me) or constant cellphone usage in that update list of theirs. Disappointing, but if that's their focus, who am I to waste time or money on them? Good for everyone that wants a new scenario to play instead of their sandbox game.

Nope, nothing about Wants and Fears, but toward the end of the patch notes it says they apparently addressed the increased cellphone usage:

"Sim phone usage has been tamped down. Teens will still use the phone more often."

Hope it makes the constant "change phone cover color" interaction and camera zooming go away, too, but that's probably wishful thinking on my part.

Seems to be listed under the Highschool Year Pack, which I have to admit, I didn't check. Can only hope that goes into BG, as well. I have yet to play, so I can only imagine how annoying that camera zoom I've heard so much about will be.

So Occult teens are still obsessed then?

No thanks. Still not updating. I want none of it. It should have come with the high school pack for the real life players who want it so that it didn't destroy Occult players' games.

I miss the brief moment where the arms accidentally pull out your Sim's heart and they die for a brief second before promptly being brought back to life. It happened literally every time you did it, but it added character to something that used to be a generic rabbit hole.
