    I have been thinking we could do with more carpet options since September '14.

    There might also be an extra fix. The age groups in the info bubbles was missing and seems now to be back all the time :dizzy:

    I think they also updated the icons to be more opaque. I feel like they used to be less... bright when they weren't missing. Am I going crazy?

    There are subtle changes to the UI in several places. I thought the glass of the health potion was also looking different (in inventory). I haven't checked if they fixed all the broken inventory icons yet.

    It looks like they might be shifting the UI from their flat minimalist UI to a more vibrant, bubbly style.

    There are also metallic black/really dark grey recolours of most of the BG modern windows...

    The first 2 are also recoloured but seem to be a little glitchy. The 3rd and 4th ones are BG modern but didn't get recolours.

    There are matching frame with light wood/glass door/arch recolours for the same BG set:

    I checked the modern fences and gates with matching swatches. They didn't recolour those.

    Has anyone tried it? Does it really remove the romance bar, or does it just break up the relationship?

    Hmm, just tried it with some random Sims. Unfortunately it doesn't take the bar away but also it doesn't make the bar completely red like when a breakup occurs. The bar will only be empty. Oh well.

    So it is a breakup option?

    Does it work with married sims?

    Are there new recolours of Handscraped Wood Flooring? I think they are, because when I needed deep green flooring I had to use an OR one because BG didn't have any.

    Kind of like what I was saying to @crinrict about the team moving away from flatter, more neutral colours to a more vibrant and rich pallette. It seems like their recolours are moving this way too.

    Thank the heavens there are more carpet colors, lol. That's gotta be one of the best additions to this update. There were only what, two or three before?

    Carpet's in mega-short supply this time around for sure. It was never a hot commodity in the last couple games but we've only got like 3 options this time around so the re-colours feel like blessings.
