    So what's the surprise in this patch?

    Literally nothing! I'm so confused. Why are we even having a maxis monthly and why did @SimGuruFrost tease something special when there is literally nothing new that we didnt already know was coming?

    Fantastic endless list of fixes.
    I only miss three important ones:
    - Magic portal sound from ROM in all worlds
    - Mermaids won't die
    - Guests cancel eating in restaurants

    They posted a tweet about some extra stuff being in the patch last week, aside from CAS and the Column Update. I'm surprised there's nothing. I'll have to find the tweet.

    "New free update coming to The Sims 4 on PC & Mac! Get into the holiday spirit with new Children & Toddler CAS items, and more surprises! Join us for the Maxis Monthly to get all the details:"

    "Hey Simmers! Join us Tuesday, November 12th @ 11AM PT for November Maxis Monthly. We have a couple new CAS items to show, an update for builders, and a new accessibility feature. That's it you ask? Well.. we might have one... more... thing... 👀❗️"

    The first is what they posted an hour ago. The second in from November 9th. I don't know what the "more surprised" is supposed to be.

    Unless it's not mentioned in the patch notes since the MM is after them.

    Honestly, with the motherlode of bug fixes, I ain't gonna complain if "more surprises" is about the menu thing or the hip hop station.

    I was hoping they'd patch in the roommate system so I could build some apartment buildings. But, I guess I'll have to wait to buy the new pack!

    I wonder what the accessibility feature is?...
  • WallSims4everWallSims4ever Posts: 755 Member
    So, probably this one...more...thing... is not in this update, but in an upcoming one OR its another pack announcement, maybe a community stuff pack like laundry day. They said they would do one of those again.

    UI scaling. From the patch notes:
    UI Scaling
    Now available in the Options menu - UI Scaling! Are you a 4k player with tiny user interface issues? Do you prefer your interface to be readable at distances greater than fifty feet away? Have you a desire to customize the scale to your personal preferences? Now you can! From the Options panel, open up Game Options, and choose Accessibility. Stay away from the red parts of the slider to keep things in the safe range for your display. But, if you are feeling adventurous, give it a try, go crazy! If for some reason you find yourself in a bad state, you can always reset - either from the options panel, or by using Ctrl+U to reset the scaling back to default!

    Or the one...more...thing...

    Could be the main menu messaging whatever advertisement nonsense they were talking about in the patch notes.

    Like great 🙄

    Or moving a radio station we already had to the base game. Like gee thanks.

    Ugh they removed the rental lots from Sulani. That was the exact opposite of what I was hoping for lol I was *hoping* you'd actually be able to rent them. But no, how dare we want to vacation in a tropical world.

    At least we have sizable columns I guess. I'll have to go in to my royal palace build and redo the entire second floor's exterior so that the columns I used for trim actually look good. Probably the only thing about this update that made me happy lol And some of the bug fixes
    My speculations on hints for future content:
    -Cars Update
    -Spiral/Diagonal Stairs Update
    -Hotel Pack
    -Romance Pack (possibly combined with Hotel Pack)
    -Bands Pack
    -Royalty Pack
    -Fashion Design Pack
    -Fairies Pack
    -Werewolf Pack
    -France-inspired World

    Like I am not complaining much because SO much bug needed bug fixes...but why do they bother wording it like it was something...big I guess only to...not be?

    Ninja just said the columns was the big reveal😒😒 I rarely use them

    That's been bugging me a lot about the team this whole series. They hype the tiniest thing as if it's the biggest deal. It was a little endearing at first but now it just feels like they do that cause they rarely have anything else to hype. I was a little afraid when they started going on and on about that lobster suit for the upcoming EP lol I kept thinking "uh oh is that going to be the best thing about the pack then?"

    Yes but replies above stated it's the columns that are the big thing they were talking about.

    I know right? They are SO out of touch.

    Did...they just say they manipulate votes?.....
    So we gonna vote for a new stuff pack..I hope something cool comes out of this...

    But I am.....really..... kinda concerned about that comment they made.

    This confirms my suspicion about the last stuff pack vote. It was always going to be laundry. All the "community created" nonsense was a marketing stunt and they convinced us to pay for a chore that used to be included in larger packs.

    I'll be glad when Paralives comes out tbh. I feel like I'm being punished for being a loyal fan the longer the series continues.

    It's going to be arts and crafts or the Science stuff.

    Still pretty ridiculous if we have to pay 10$ to get a normal sized telescope though.
