    Another livestream is on Thursday October 11. I assume it is the patch day.
    Didn’t they say no patch again?

    Yep. They postponed it past October for polishing content (of which there appears to be lots)!

    Another livestream next week.

    I want it to be an hour :/
    we'll give you a full refund. Just make sure you make your request within 24 hours after you first launch the game, within seven days from your date of purchase, or within seven days from the game's release date if you pre-ordered, whichever comes first.

    No offense intended, but that was so lame.

    A fashion influencer career? Maxis you can do better. That was just so so lame......I'm so sad...TS4 just really isn't coming through.

    It's not a modelling career, it's not a stylist career, it's another stupid instagram career. I like the new digital art sketch pad, but you can't even do fashion sketches, so....what the actual..... There's no fabric sampling, no sewing machine, no catwalk, just writing more articles on the computer....how fun. And the animations look like they are straight out of the Sims Mobile, so disappointing. I thought it was going to be a better update.

    ALso, the digital art sketch pad does everything an easel does....it's a cool object but really, why are we getting another object that does everything we already can do in the game? TS4 can't afford that luxury with it's lack of content. So disappointed.

    THIS^^

    That was worth watching. I'm more interested in the new career and the sketch pad but terrain tools are good too. :smiley:

    I'm more happy for the fashion career also but the terrain tools gave me a great feeling for the builders. Will be great to see what they do with it.

    If it means a less bug-ridden mess, that's fine by me!

    Plus I don't have to update my mods again.

    Wow, that's pretty awesome. I thought they said terrain tools weren't possible though? Does this mean the other stuff they said wasn't possible is now possible? Maybe I'm remembering wrong. But either way, very excited and I don't even build anymore. xD Can't wait to see what gets made with the new tools though!

    Can you really call it a fashion career though? I didn't get to see much of it, never mind that they didn't even tell us if there were any branches?

    I think they did briefly mention them but not totally certain. the lady sim was further along on a branch as a stylist or something iirc.

    They said they weren’t going to say everything regarding the career. Every career so far has had 2 branches though.

    And...live stream is over. No new content confirmed for October because they are "polishing" it and making it nice and shiny. However, we did get a glimpse of what looks like a TERRAIN TOOL, a new career coming (no word yet on whether it is an active career, a form of self-employment, or a rabbit hole career), and what looks possibly like a sketchbook and maybe the ability to create art on the computer, if my interpretation of what I saw is correct.

    One use of the terrain tool that I would love to see in this game would be the ability to create my childhood home, which was built on a hill. The basement door exits at the bottom of the hill, and the front door and kitchen sliding door exit at the top of the hill. Yes, it was a two-story home. Part of it was underground under the hill.
    I have been playing The Sims since 2001, when Livin Large came out. My avatar deliberately looks like Chris Roomies from TS1.

    Even the name 'Fashion Influencer' sounds so stupid and pretentious.

    Does this mean we're finally gonna be able to build garages ??
    I was thinking the same thing -- maybe they needed the terrain tools so you can build a detached garage next to a house on a foundation before they could add cars. :)

    I thought so too UNTIL I realized instead of placing a garage door, he just painted the walls black... which people do already sooooo nah I don't think cars is going to be a thing yet.

    Possibly, I'd like to think that was part of the grand tease and it wasn't ready to show. They might do what they did with toddlers and just surprise us the day of. Either way, I'm still excited about what we definitely are getting. I can finally make a garden shed without having to remove my foundation.

    @stilljustme2
    That makes a lot of sense, with the way things are currently if you built your house with a foundation, your "garage" would also need a foundation, cars wouldn't work very well with that system. Again, this is speculation, but it makes perfect sense we'd get this update right along with cars.

    They said they weren’t going to say everything regarding the career. Every career so far has had 2 branches though.

    Of course I presume there is two branches of it; regarding the fact that there's two main aspects of fashion: styling and modeling!

    I'm only excited to finally give my male models something they can do for once instead of mooching off someone else's money as their boy toy lol. (not withstanding modding ofc)

    I think the digital sketch pad might be a little easier to work with than the easel. I've noticed that my Sim doesn't always place the easel where I want her to, and when the terrain is uneven, it's awkward. And I'm looking forward to the new painting style -- illustrative, I think? Basically I'm looking forward to everything.

A lot of people have been asking for a personality update and we are getting a lame career....

    Couldn’t have said it better myself. I know we are getting terrain tools eventually but I’m not going to fall over myself with glee for something we should have had in the base game. Meanwhile the game has been buggy as heck since June and we are still not getting any bug fixes.

    You can already change townies outfits from manage households though.

    He said it's a very early look so they didn't show off everything that comes with the career. Also they said two new objects come with it but only showed the sketch pad. Is there something else I missed?

    It’s a stay at home/rabbit hole career.
