What was your favourite base game update in 2020?

I really appreciate the firefighters and repo NPCs coming back. Inventory organization was also great, though I would really like to be able to type in quantities again instead of clicking and this was a perfect time to add it (it is currently 2nd place to me).

However, sentiments are my top update. Anything that makes relationships more dynamic is great. I admit, they seem a little random sometimes, but life is random.

Just to mention the skin tone update, I did appreciate it. However, I have had some problems with it. Beyond having to change the blush for every Sim that used it prior (seriously), the makeup sliders will not work for me. I guess they are not available for some of the makeup, but in that case much more are not available than those that are in my experience. Add that to other voices mentioning that those things are still broken and it just needs more work.

*Edit*
Oh, and ladders were neat, but they break laundry and trash routing in all my builds. I have to keep ladder areas either out of the route completely or build their own ecosystem. It even sometimes affects dining routing. Plus I noticed fear and ladders do not really like each other with all the ladder animation interruptions in my haunted house, leading to even more dining routing problems.

(Starving sim with plate in hand decides he wants to eat at the downstairs table and starts going down the ladder only to get spooked. Proceeds to teleport/reset next to the ladder, plate now on the floor. Now instead of picking up the plate, he complains about his low hunger need and proceeds to queue up a grab-a-quick-meal.)

Of course, stairs are still broken, so hopefully a fix gets them both.

I didn't realise how much use I have for ladders until I got one. They're very useful for attic spaces, and basements and any place where you need to have a way of getting to the next level, but have no room for stairs. I really like that Sims can slide down the ladders.

Platforms are a very close second, but there are some bugs with them at the moment. Nothing major and can easily be worked around, but still annoying and should be fixed. Except for the bug the update caused for my stairs. I can not have a mezzanine floor since Sims can not use the stairs if I do that.

I'm happy they added the firefighter and Repo man NPCs. I avoid fires and it's much more reasuring to know that if one starts a firefighter will put it out for me. The Repo man makes an entertaining game of seeing what he will take if I don't pay the bills.

Sentiments are a nice addition, but there are some things with them that need to be fixed. Sims should not get a "closer from happy memories" sentiment with a Sim they just met. Also toddlers and their parents shouldn't be holding grudges against eachother just because the toddler was defiant one day.

1. Skin Tones
2. Sentiments
3. Ladders

The stuff from the Hispanic Month celebration update (I forgot exactly what that update was called), especially the pergola.

Really really love what this added to my game as well as platforms ?

The skin tones update, but for the sliders rather than the tones. We would never have gotten the sliders mod without it and that's an essential for me now.

I feel like platforms is one of those things that was fun for five minutes and then the appeal died, I used them in every build on release but I honestly haven't touched them since. Firefighters were a nice idea as well, but they're pretty useless as it takes longer to call them and have them arrive than it does to just put it out yourself.

Platforms. Ladders. Sentiments. Skin tones. Scared Emo.
I also like some of the Hispanic items!

I believe there was something else....but I've forgotten...

Liked a lot of other things too, but this the most.

Sentiments followed closely by inventory organization. Totally forgot about ladders. I really love the idea of platforms but find them difficult to use and adjust in homes I download. I think I've used the new CAS once to adjust my sim's makeup. My sims always pay their bills on time so I haven't had a chance to meet the repo man and I haven't had a fire but I did call once just to check it out.

Skin tones, Platforms and Sentiments in that order. Once the skin update was out, I tossed out all my dark skin cc and I havent felt any need to put it back in the game. One of the best BG updates overall (and BADLY needed) if you ask me.
