Bug fix:
-Stairs. That was bad.
-Gardening fix? I think that one was this year? That one took FOREVER to fix but they kind sort of got it I believe? Honestly, I'm still pretty confused on its status but no complaints from me so far.
Of the bugs I hope they fix this year, please let the "alien genetics reset on age up" glitch be amongst them. Please.
Updates:
-New hair swatches. I hope down the line we can get more unnatural hair colors as well. Lilac is nice but I want PURPLE.
-Pack refresh. A great idea and I hope they continue doing these. It's not the pack I think needs the most attention but it's a decent start to hopefully something recurring.
-Scared emotion.
-Bunk beds.
-Likes and dislikes. Needs waaay more improvements though. Needs to work better with autonomy and needs more selection. Would be great to have a food category as well.
Not a personally fan of the little concert event, but it was fine. I liked the outfit that we got out of it but that's about it. It merely reminded of me how much we need bands + a singer career (even if just rabbit hole).
Neighborhood Stories is a good idea with a rough start. Lots of tuning/tweaking they need to do and it seems like part of the update was prioritized for this 'love party' (wedding? romance? matchmaking?) pack were going to get soon. As long as the fixes, additions, and adjustments (and an opt out) come relatively soon afterwards, I think it'll be fine. It's honestly something that should've been in the game since the beginning and while many PC users will just use MCCC if they want story progression; console users don't get that option so this is good for them.
Shout out to one of my favorite bugs ever though: the food that never spoiled. You were the GOAT. Of all of the glitches they chose to fix, why did they pick you? You were so young, ripped away from us too soon. R.I.P.
...just kidding. But it was a fantastic bug to exploit. Only second to the one where if kids played toys together in clubs their relationship would skyrocket alongside building skill and made the social aspiration a breeze. THAT was awesome.
For future updates, I'm most looking forward to the premade overhauls. It won't affect my current saves but it'd be nice for things like the relationships to properly reflect what is supposed to be the dilemma in the bio doesn't show up in gameplay (Don's romance status among the caliente's, Bob + Eliza's marriage status, Johnny's relation to the Landgraabs, etc.). I just hope they don't get rid of Katrina from the Caliente household cause she's one of my favorite Sims 4 additions.
