Update today: Are you ready?

Yeah, it's a very subtle change and I really only get a call once in a while and that's even with playing full, 8 Sim households. I feel so much better about the system thus far and the devs will be adding customization options in the next couple of patches. It seems to me that they are easing us into the new system, which I think is a stellar idea.

So far everything is the same in my game except for two new Aspirations and a few phone calls that give me options but no more call frequency than I got before. And I don't use any mods. The next patch will probably be the real test, though.

I hope I’ll get some time over the weekend to update whatever needs to be updated.

I have to run all my software and game updates in one go, whenever my ginormous computing device beast is switched on, because I currently live in the middle of nowhere, doing the simple living challenge for real, in a darn cottage, and my quality of life relies on the power of my smartphone and whatever it can harvest out of thin air. I wish it could grab my food out of thin air.
So far, I’ve been able to survive.
I will survive this update too for I am Captain Fearless and if my neighbors want babies, they can have as many babies as they want. I will NOT look after them. I will not look after them babes. That’s the rule.

I shall be modless for a while if needs be and I will build another spaceship. As soon as the neighbors start to annoy me I will put them on that ship and shoot them off to Planet Nowhere Never To Be Seen Again.
