I love the platforms in the game. I am working on a build with a sunken dining room and a sunken living room the bathtubs are on platforms and the bed in the master ensuite has the bed on a platform. Since all, I have been doing is building with the updates. I haven't had a chance to see how broken occults are in this game. I wish we could colour the sides of or platforms. I'm just happy I have them. It's the only way I can do a sort of split level for my sims hone. If anybody who plays occults has news on how unplayable this patch has made then please let me know. I had my game crash a few times playing vanilla. I removed my localthumbcache, I removed my mods folder I ended up unistalling and reinstalling the game because it wasn't loading a vanilla game. Yes, you can get last exceptions with playing vanilla. Which according to my Sims 4 folder I have a few of them. Usually when I do a test game it lasts a few weeks because I'm confident to reinstall mods slowly. Whhat does everyone else like and dislike about the Upadate?

I think the Sentiments are really cute. There seem to be good variety of them too. I'm looking forward to exploring them more.I don't think they fixed some of things they claimed they fixed. Restaurants are still running horribly. Townies are still out on the streets looking like they got dressed in the dark.I haven't had any crashes yet, but the sims are standing around doing nothing a lot. Game seems like it's running slower. I got a couple last exceptions, and I also keep getting a message saying build mode items are missing?

My sims are standing around idle more than usual.Children and teens are going to school wearing nightwear.Sims keep choosing to cook new meals instead of eating leftovers. Sentiments are lacking in some circumstances. This doesn’t mean I don’t like them. Just that they can be improved.Nothing to major for me but enough to annoy me. At the moment I don’t feel like I can really complain. At least my game is working without crashes.

So far sentiments has not come up in my game. I do like the platforms, and you can color them, but there's a catch--the options it gives you under "platform trims" are all of the same things you would use for an exterior foundation

You can also put up a half wall of the same height against the platform, then color it. The lowest height will allow you to step up to the platform.

I'm loving the update so far. My game is running really smoothly, and lots of bugs that affected my game have been fixed. I haven't tried platforms yet, but they sound great. Sentiments are going great so far too. I had been worried that they would all be negative, but the ones I've had in the game have actually been really sweet.

I love the sentiments and platforms. I am very happy that there are many negative sentiments with negative emotions - this gives events more weight and adds depth. I hope they expand sentiments more, and that it is setting the stage for actual memories sometime soon, as well as general emotion improvements.

Something I DON'T like is that the patch notes said that "beloved" sims will no longer reject marriage proposals. This is a very bad thing, imo. Not all sims want to get married, so it SHOULD be difficult to get them to accept. This removes depth.

I've had crashing once, but a bigger problem for me is with the mysterious pink dot. Many times when I tried to have a Sim do an odd job or travel, I instead got a persistent pink dot in the middle of the screen, like this:

I would get the Pink Dot of Doom to go away by entering build mode and then returning to live mode, but it would reappear when I again tried to do the odd job or travel, unless I closed out the game and restarted it.

This was happening to me way before the most recent patch. A mod was breaking the odd job UI.

@Rouensims I haven't tried odd jobs yet with my sims.

@HopeyStarr In a way, I hope that the pink dot isn't mod related but at the same time I wouldn't want it to be related to the update

Thank you for the information! I guess I need to sort out my mods.
