    Phew uninstall and reinstall worked. Thanks <3 though... I had to do it manually because the uninstall.exe was missing?!? So somehow I lost origin files that allowed it to run xD

    Good to hear. :)

    Question for anyone who writes plot-driven (non legacies/challenges): How much of the story did you plan before starting it? How long did you spend planning it?

    hi @Bugsie2016 !
    my story is non-legacy and non-challenge. I planned the major plot points and all main characters before I started writing. On details of storytelling I decide shortly before the updates.
    I cannot say how long the planning took.
    Are you planning a new story?

    I've been thinking about it. But not too sure. If I do start another then I want to be completely prepared...

    Well if it's plot driven it will definitely help to have the introduction, major plot twists and ending planned before starting. You can still change the direction while writing updates, though.

    Just went on Twitter and started reading....anyone have any idea what the update might be about? They've pretty much shot down every single idea that anyone on Twitter has proposed that the community's been asking for. Don't know what it could be at this point to merit a 2-hr livestream.......

    well @CathyTea can take a good guess with this question I'm about to ask

    According to a twitter a month ago. Grant said a month previously they been working on something which they had been having problems with and after talking to wheelchair simmers the problem was fixed. So why would they need to talk to wheelchair simmers for to fix something?

    and this is also what he mentioned last month on Twitter

    1)he mentions stairs turning into ramp-escalators things for wheelchairs 2)he mentions "SSL" (Simish Sign Language) ideas. 3) He also has mentioned they have talked to deaf and hard of hearing simmers to guide them (As well as other type of disabilities). 4) mentions wheelchairs would be open to all ages (outsides of babies) and that wheelchairs wouldn't be for one type of disability.

    @CathyTea @simscognito so you figured out the question answer?

    @CathyTea apparently there are
    Sims 4 poses for American (and maybe British-but mostly American) Sign Languages.

    It's possibly the only logical explanation for why we would need a live stream to go with it right? Since why would we need a live stream for cars, a current life state, NPCs, newspapers, pizza, fruitcake, Swimming (everything but newspapers and certain NPCs we already have) everything that its *not*?. I'm not going to get my hopes up too much..

    This was a delightful read except for the negative responses. There are just SO MANY possibilities! I mean if this is a base game free update and not a "this pack is coming out soon" it's going to be something simpler but awesome. Something that doesn't require an entire pack on it's own.
    So that idea of wheel chairs and stuff sounds like a big possibility!

    Tbh it definitely seems like that's what it's going to be, especially since they already ruled out it being about a new pack or anything.....hmmmmm
