What new guy? There is no new guy there that I see. I think of them all Kate is the newest.
It's the first time he is in the Stream team. SimGuruNinja said he had been working with him for ten years! He was actually very good but needed his mike nearer his mouth to get louder!
Shouldn't @SimGuruSteve have noted that? #BlameSteve
LOL. Actually Steve doesn't really introduce anyone.

In dreams - I LIVE!
In REALITY, I simply exist.....
The new career and digital sketch pad are ok. The new terrain tools look great. But none of it was worth a hyped-up live stream. They could have mentioned that stuff in a simple blog post with a few pics and wasted a lot less of people's time..... not to mention .... emotional interests.
They made it sound like everyone on planet earth should tune in to see their mind-blowing announcement ...... of what turned out to be just ........ a digital easle. Oh yea. Lets not forget the new Mr. Dressup career.
Tell me you're kidding me. Tell me I didn't wait around the last few days for THAT.
Seriously?????
Well, I like the terrain tools. But that still could have been shared via blog post.
So I guess you won't be tuning in for the next one?
I"m hoping the one next week reveals even more content that wasn't shown Today. I'm still hoping cars will be revealed next week.
Me too !! Cars please !! At last !!
PS : Is it your cat on your profile pic ? He/She is beautiful.
So, we are not gonna see a patch in October either? I stopped playing the game a couple months ago because of some of these bugs that need to be fixed such as the non-interactive sims bug. It's cool that they are creating new stuff, but did they forget about these bugs that need to be addressed and fixed? I kinda think they should be the priority... I personally don't want any more new content because these critical bugs are ruining the game. I am sorry, but I am just getting the feeling that the devs don't even care and just want to skip the bugs and go on to new content while the game continues to get in worse shape. I don't even know what to think of this anymore. I regret purchasing Seasons and updating to that patch just before Seasons which destroyed the game and turned all of the background Sims into mindless zombies...
Wow! If you are having that kind of issues with your game, try starting a new game, and make sure you save it with a new name. I have a separate save for loading my game with certain custom content mods, and a separate save for playing my game without any custom content or mods, and a separate save for playing only with custom content but without script mods. If you are able to play the new game using no custom content or mods, you know the problem is probably with broken cc or mods. Plus with a new save file you aren't affecting any of the old characters on your old save. If you still cannot play the game without cc or mods using a new save, repair your game, and try again. If that doesn't work, check the specs on your computer to make sure it is capable of running the game with all EPs. And finally, if all that has been tried and nothing helps, it is time to contact EA support or uninstall, reboot, then reinstall your game (backing up everything that was in the Documents folder elsewhere first).
I have personally reinstalled, uninstalled and so forth so many times of my own game and still have too many to name issues that make mine mostly unplayable, those ideas really don't always help fix everyone's problems with the game and only recently had I tried the mod MCCC which actually froze my computer so bad I could not even control alt delete out, not all issues can be fixed by uninstalling and reinstalling and to be honest how is it okay to pay for a game when that is their advice on what to do to fix it to begin with? Maybe they should start caring about the quality of their own products , and still have my own game uninstalled because it did the same things the other day and its really annoying to be unable to play because they ignore the most issues people have.

I think what they meant was he should've known to set up the mic closer.
Did anyone else see at the end he made one building with foundation and another one without? Am I hallucinating? Please someone tell me I am not wrong! I have NEEDED this feature since day 1!!
There was tool in the middle of the building that dragged up the building. We do not have this tool yet and it must mean something new. Right after that Kate send him away. Don't know if that is an easy way to build a room on another or if it is a foundation tool.
I have just rewatched it and looks like a tool for pulling foundations to different heights (or atleast I hope it is) he did it to the "faux garage" he built )
Then it would mean we can use different levels of foundations on buildings. Or maybe only on buildings of different terrain heights, but that would be almost the same thing. There is a lot more to this then what they 'showed' us. Excited to see when we get more info on everything
Yes me too! There's another stream on the 11th so I will be tuning in to find out more

I have tried everything including a fresh reinstall. My computer specs include: i7 6700, GTX 970, 32GB Ram, Windows 10, so I know my computer is well above the recommended settings. This is an acknowledged issue with the game that needs to be fixed (link to the topic is in my signature), and many others are experiencing it. It was introduced in the patch just before Seasons. I sent tech support a ticket shortly after I first encountered the bug.
Here are two videos, before the patch before Seasons (Sims interacting) and then afterwards (Sims no longer interacting). This happens in bars, coffee shops, restaurants, etc.
Also, because there is a TV on the lot, Sims will not go for a swim and the TV takes priority. Once I removed the TV, the sims went swimming again. https://youtu.be/pofdYPeBl64
Cafes are completely broken for me. Sims stand around and they order non-stopping. The barista never gives my sim what he asks for.
I actually think the fashionista is a great addition. Some people won't use it, sure. Others will absolutely love it. I'll use it on occasion if I want to make the townies look ridiculous (because I like ridiculous). It will be fun to play with.
The terrain tools are absolutely amazing, though.
Thank you gurus for this patch. I think it's great.
I thought townies already looked ridiculous in what they wear!
Well I look at it this way - if you have been playing the Sims since day one - you'd be aware it would not be an NPC in the Sims if it ever looked like a fashion plate. You only have to go back through all the old videos of the sims since they came out to know NPC's have no fashion sense on SimsEarth otherwise it woudn't be the Sims.

You obviously haven’t sent any sims to the spa recently lol
I mean really a bee keeper hood, a robe and long socks??
Sims in previous games some of them had questionable fashion taste but not all of them looked like they got dressed in the dark. Maybe this is a way to fix the townies showing up to spas and festivals and walkbys in silly outfits.
Diving a little deeper on some very cool things sounds like swimming in areas we haven't before. The earlier stuff about "drive" and "vehicle" sounds like cars. I'm thinking we are going to be getting some great stuff in the future!

Sadly it was just the basement that looked like a foundation. Could probably do some tricks with that though.

cant help but think the same or different swimming pool options cause of terrain tools.

The robes with weird accessories in spas shouldn't be happening. It's a bug and I hope we aren't gonna cover up bugs from now on with "features".
I'm not sure how to feel about this. Tbh, I'll probably play the new career once, then not again for like a year. Terrain tools may cause routing issues and I've been fine without them. I understand that it's just a patch though, rather than an actual pack, and I know how long it takes to implement a new game feature, so I won't hate on the Sim Gurus, especially considering how I hope to be one of them someday.

I think it's too early to say whether it's good or bad, cause I am not sure if this tease holds more than what we can say for sure. If cars will make it, I think its pretty good and cool of them. I know foundations are something people wanted for so long, so I'm happy for them even though I won't use it like a maniac. Its nice to have for me and I appreciate it being added. Maybe later on i will be more happy with it.
The career.. Ok.. It's nice they added a career that is normal and probably useful for many sims. i would probably use it too. I do wish they would add in more careers. I get this one is for free, but they could have added careers through packs as well. They are needed. We asked for a lawyer career for so long and it should be here already. I do like the active careers. it's all I want to play most of the time. i also think the option to work at home, play active or just send your sims off to work, is very good and should always be like this in any sims game!
However.. they did use many of the same animations again, meaningless interactions. Maybe there is more to it, cause they didn't show us all, so we will have to see for a complete opinion. But from what i could see, they could add in some more meaning to this career by actually drawing fashion sketches instead of paintings (of a horse..). Let's see more about it when we get it and get to play with it.
Just holding my hope for cars and Sims 2 style with animations and in-car options.
Careers like lawyer, education, etc. could be waiting for a University pack to be added. We got an actual gardener career in Seasons and before that we got the three CL careers. so they are adding careers in EPs when they make sense. Someone mentioned there's a new art type, Illustrative, so maybe that's the one needed for the fashion career.
True, we got new careers, but they could have added new careers in the early time of the sims 4 when it was even more needed. The requests for basic careers are on the forum so long and we actually still do not have them. They might come, but my point was that they should have been here earlier actually.
They actually patched in two careers (Athlete and Business) a couple of months after the base game released. I'm still trying to figure out what people mean by "basic" careers -- IMO the only two "out there" base game careers are Astronaut and Secret Agent.

I wish we had military, teacher, day care, law, etc. I also wish they'd have the slacker career back but that's because it was a fun thing in TS1 and TS2, like the grilled cheese aspiration which they did patch in TS4.
Ahahaha that looks kind of horrible. But I hope I'll be able to build with them like I did on TS3. The terrain tools are one of the things that greatly enhance my creativity when building.

Unless that was a burn on SimGuruKate. You see how these guys tease and torment one another. It's one of the funniest and most fun parts about their livestreams-watching some creative co-workers goof around together.
Great livestream, Gurus. I'm so glad I had a day off to enjoy your shenanigans. Especially that hilarious terrain manipulation at the end!
