Norman Bates?

MsPhy

I was intrigued by part of the patch notes regarding OR:

Outdoor Retreat

Several flowers and shrubs recently became incorrectly hidden behind a cheat. We have fixed this issue and returned the foliage to their proper place in the catalog.

I love the word foliage.

Players can no longer choose to move their household into Granite Falls… since that corrupted their save file…

… and the other Sims 4 save files on their system

But that’s it!

Except there was that one designer… supposedly he went a little, you know, as a result of working on the issue. But that was unconfirmed. Completely unrelated. I mean, I’m not one to talk… but, well, his family has a “history” you know. He lived with his mother at this motel on the interstate. And well I don’t want to bore you with the details, but there was talk about how his mother had passed under mysterious circumstances and you know, he was finding it difficult to accept her passing. Spending his days listlessly working his motel desk, cleaning the showers… it is true that ‘we all go a little mad sometimes,’ his words not mine of course, but I’m not sure he’s put the past behind him. And well, I think it’s affecting his work. Maybe I’ll head over to his place, and talk to him about it. Should be fine… it’s not prying you know, I’m just concerned.

Choosing to "Join Vacation" will no longer use a llama icon in the action queue.

The llama does have a name, it's Dolly.

You will no longer receive the Unbearable buff if you run into the bear when the bear is not in character.

Sims will no longer become stuck with the dirty clothes look if they were grungy while on vacation and took a shower/bath to clean up.

They will however maintain the look if they are LARPing 90s Northwest bands.

Using the Fireweed Spray on a bed will now have visual fx when using it.

The forest ranger now has an icon of their very own when asked about their career.

Did they really ad a Norman Bates-type NPC, or are they just being funny? I used to have a Norman Bates plus hotel back in Sims 1. Guess I'll find out .....

XD

I saw that too, and I was like- what???

I don't have time right now... driving me crazy. In a couple hours I can go look. Why would that be in the notes?

Meggles

I thought it was just a funny story for the notes but I like that it's related to something!

MsPhy

It seemed like an awful lot of text just for a joke, but ... well, those wacky Gurus, you just never know what they're going to do next ;-)

I took it that it drove the person that was working on the bug crazy. So they made fun of it.

I found it amusing too XD I really hope there's a random Norman Bates haha

The llama's name is...Dolly. As in Dalai Lama? Love it! Full of wisdom and happiness.

Hermitgirl

Nope still haven't found anything kind of bummed... please tell me if anyone finds anything.

Haha took me a while to get that. just kept repeating "Dolly the llama? The llama named dolly? Why does that seem familiar?" Man I need sleep.
