Thoughts on new patch - Is it worth it? Update: I patched!

This isn't like those other threads about the new patch, I just need people's opinion on whether or not it should be worth it to download it right now. It's not like I don't like the content that's in it, but rather that I'm scared it might break my game. I've been doing well taking care of my saves, and since I play with the same one for years, I don't want to risk an update this huge on it getting corrupted or breaking. Don't worry, my mods are in a quiet place rn and I've reset the game folders and deleted the cache and repaired everything already to prepare for the worst. Do you believe it's worth it to download right now, or safer to wait it out and wait for a patch to hotfix anything from this patch and probably from Get Famous once it drops?

The fixes and additions are great, but I advise backing up
Race Against the Clock: Can your elder sim turn back the clock before their time runs out?
There's always gonna be more bugs when they patch stuff so this is inevitable. There's always some annoying bug being added, I'm not surprised there are people starting to report them already. LOL.
If you're itching to test out the new stuff, maybe just start a new save or play around with one that isn't super important to you. I think as long as you don't enter old saves - and re-save - they should be safe.
Number of times I used "save" in this post: 9
I'm a storyteller, so updating was a bit pointless for me other than to play around with the new features. I rely on a handful of mods that have yet to be updated so either way I'll have to be patient.
I think as long as you back up your save you'll be safe. If something becomes corrupted you have your back up.
I'm still waiting for it to download/install right now though, not sure when it's going to finish downloading because it was telling me it would take over an hour a second ago now it's saying 7mins?
Also @xamira99 what a strange yet interesting bug, does that happen all the time?

I tested it for a while like switching it from the first person to the third person view, then switch it again to the first-person and to the third-person view again. I keep seeing the same thing @Tentacrocacles .. But some players haven't experienced it.. I'm pretty sure it's not the Mod/CC faults (because I never played with Mod/CC).. And I play on Mac with laptop mode disabled..
I don't think I've seen anyone yet who has this bug on a non-Mac computer.

It could be one of the reasons then. They recently fixed the upside down picture on Mac... So, I'm wondering if this issue happens only on Mac?

Details on the status of this one from over there, from @crinrict:
Worth also noting, everyone reporting it there has all or almost all packs, so it could be not affecting people who don't own some specific pack.
The thread also says Get Famous seems to fix the bug so that’s probably why it wasn’t caught! So those that are planning to get it will have a fix in a few days, but hopefully they hotfix this. I haven’t played yet since the update but will test in mine this afternoon.
That's why you should always back up your game folders every few play sessions!! I am paranoid about it so I do it every few weeks personally.
Looks like that'll be a no for me then on updating; I practically live in CAS and will be spending most of my time updating my Sims with the new basegame content + GF in the future so that's a big no on patching then for me. Guess I might have to wait much longer before patching... *sigh*
Doesn’t seamed to have worked I did backup before
I have aging off but when I checked to see if it was fixed it was still a green bar where it shouldn’t be I’m not sure on what I should do any suggestions please ?
Happy simming.
If you did not have a back up of your save when it first happened - getting the fix is not going to move the game back to where your aging was before the issue - you had to make sure you had saved before that happen and went back to that save to return where you first had the issue. Is that your problem? I stopped playing when I sw my sims aging up immediately. So my save only had 5 days added and I play with aging off - so I can live with just 5 days added - but aging off is again working at least it worked when I went in and changed my sims clothing to Spring like wear - I go no more aging - so to me it is fixed. I don't use cheats in my game so I can't go back those 5 days without cheating - but I am okay with it as I control when my sims will age from here on out. My sim was just at the start of YA and now she is 5 days into YA so not a problem seeing no more days were added.
