So hyped for the new carpet colors. Hated those blasted pastels, they didn't go with anything
I still use CC for really bright colors though, hope we get those next.
I saw that today and It was in the Friendly section. I guess it kind of works like in TS3 days where if you did that it would just mean you would be just friends but you wouldn't hate one another.
Awesome! I had not noticed the carpet or wooden floor colors yet. Those have been desperately needed, especially the carpet, since release. Great additions! Bookmarking this thread.
Thank you everyone for sharing the tidbits you are finding. It's incredibly helpful and very much appreciated!
I don't know if it's just me, but do you think the adults look older? Look at the lines around their mouths and under their eyes. I checked in the skin details section, and there weren't any wrinkles added as skin details.
Feels like it's been optimized a bit in general. Seems to load faster. Or else my computer's having a really good day. Shaved a few seconds off the load screens, anyway.

Do you have aging on? Adults gradually age as they approach the elder stage; wrinkles and lines develop as subtly as the other body changes in the game (fat gain/loss, muscle gain/loss).

If it has been optimized, all the better! If it's your computer, well, then that's good for you - it's win/win. Do you notice any improvements on the musical chair issue?

I was only in the game for a few minutes to check things out with a single Sim, so I wasn't able to test that, sorry.

No problem, I'll be able to test myself tonight for a few hours before bed.
It's quite possible that these features weren't included in the patch notes because the sims team wanted us to find them ourselves; like easter eggs on a dvd.
@Beanfoot I have aging off right now, and none of these sims are anywhere near elders. Unless maybe the lines develop daily regardless of aging on/off? Although I've played a couple of these sims pretty recently and didn't notice the lines until today.

Whatever the reasoning, it's fun to collaborate with you all on finding them.

Hm. If aging is off and you've been playing the same characters for months it's probably the patch. What are the odds it's the lighting? I'll put it up on the list with a (?) tag to see if others notice it 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.
There are 3 new carpets coming with DO according to Ninja (I posted about 2 designs I saw in the trailers). That'll double what we have so far.

Hey guys, I've been seeing that a lot of you have found some patches not officially in the notes, so I thought I'd start this thread to record what you've found.
Features thus far:
1. New carpet colours
2. Buy a Retail Store menu 3. UI sharper resolution
Post here and I'll expand the list.
Don't see that here.
We got skyroof and "Get water" in the sink and fridge.
Might be one lucky Simmer's res getting bumped up maybe. I put a question mark after it. Thanks!
@Beanfoot what is skyroof, I did not see that. Can you tell me where it is.

I posted a link along with that item on the list: basically the dance floor from Get Together can now be used as a skylight/"Skyroof" that looks amazing with the new lighting system. Enjoy if you have GT!
What on earth is this? Is this new to the patch or am I late to some other patch party?
It's a water recolour for pools/fountains. Patched in pre-GT. There are 4 others in the EP. (sparkly aqua like the sea/petals on surface/green with algae/muddy brown)
That purple one looks more red in-game, so looks almost like blood.

Just checked some adult pre-mades and they do look older.
I also agree that my loading times seemed faster, but they vary a bit for me anyway.
Or is it since I haven't played in about 2 weeks and I just think it looks different?! LoL

I had not noticed! This is going right up there. More evidence for less flat UI?

Very true. Couldn't have put it better myself.

You're droppin' knowledge tonight, my dude.

Afraid you are a little bit late to another patch party. The water re-colours were released last year. I'll find the exact patch for you in a second.
