I'm curious about something in regards to households and lots since this update came through:

You created new households and lots in either legacy or standard versions or both, can you move those households and lots across to these various versions of TS4?

If so - can you provide a step by step guide to add to your FAQ as to how to go about doing that?

(It could be helpful if you are locked to a 32bit system and plan on an upgrade to 64 bit system and don't want to lose the effort you put into it when you do upgrade and start getting the DLC packs to unlock those households.)

Also those who enjoy having limited or no internet might want to transfer those households and lots across the standard to the legacy version and have it all in one place, either as a back up or a place to test out all their experiementations with CC while keeping the standard version clean, and since the legacy version won't get updates, it would be perfect for all those mods and having such copies of households and lots put there.

@Hoverael Once you upgrade to 64 bit, you can just move your files back to the Sims 4 folder in documents and it should all be there. Going from 64 bit to 32 bit isn't possible. Once a saved was loaded on 64 bit, you can't go back.

That part should be in the official FAQ I have linked above.

It is probably possible to just save your households to to library with legacy and then move to the tray folder on 64 bit. Shouldn't be different then when you do that from standard to standard.

The only difference is that you don't have the gallery to help you on legacy.
