i love the debug items and the new little story thing in cas.
but ugh this design makes me nauseous. just like with the ballpit, i look at this and just think.. how?? how could someone think this looked good?? is this a prank???

if the pack they took the items from cost about $20.00 and they took about 13 items to add to BG, that's about $1.53.
If there were 4 - 5 packs they took the items from, and one person bought all those packs that's about $6.15 - $7.65 people were
ripped off. Not chump change.
(the last girl is suppose to be the purple hair girl in the cover render lol)
They all look nothing like the render, lol. They darkened the skin tones of the males and the proportions of virtually all of them are off.
I love how the backgrounds of most of those NPC's are: Photographer, fashion photographer, designer, designer/free lance programmer, social media activist for minorities, or body builder....lol Very important careers indeed Maxis, 10/10 role models. They sure know how to be woke at least lol, that's who they are catering to. They'd rather have another bath water influencer career rather then a teaching career, the law career, firemen career, and so on....it's really sad. Careers that are very important are being forgotten over this stupidity. But whatever....
Sometimes I feel like the gurus live inside twitter or something.
They fixed a couple of major, game-breaking bugs, like my toddlers. As for the items that are now free, that's life. You pay full price for something and sometime down the road, it's half-off, or they decide to offer something that was previously premium for free. It's a handful of items, not worlds or game play.
Personally, I'd love to see more swatches and updates for DLC. If these items only worked if you had the original pack, people (probably the same people) would be complaining. I see it as a win-win.

Toddlers still have the issue where they get interrupted when eating frequently.
The Sims Twitter account is pretty ballistic right now, people are furious about DLC content being poached and things like cars being decorative. The way things are worded is awfully misleading. One post says to check out the new debug items, including cars, but then doesn't say that the cars are decorative only for instance.
There's a post from EA Help on there saying the loading screen being too much to bear for some is a very heated issue though, and that it's currently being addressed. I just hope we don't have to wait until the next patch before we see the change.
I should've downloaded the pirated version since the beginning. Sorry, but this game is turning into a complete disaster. What was the point of spending my money on something that will eventually get free. Even if its one or two items it feels like a slap in the face. And the new look. That thing is just awful. This is an example of bad marketing. Are they trying to get new players or push all players away?
not happy, I can press the play button and start from where I left off. press new game and start that. But I can't click the load and load my other saved family's. this sucks.
What should actually make us mad about this is the fact we paid for all the freebies EA is handing out. It was our money, from the purchase of past content, that is funding this madness. Over a billion dollars in sales off of Sims4, and this was what they decided to spend money on? And as far as the gurus saying they are 'hard at work' fixing the issues that popped up with the June update and Island Living? We've been hearing this line of nonsense since Dine Out was released so don't hold your breath those fixes will come any time soon. I refuse to install this update, and will be playing off line until after the new year. Maybe longer than that if EA doesn't understand we're not a happy bunch of Simmers again. You would think they would get it by now after the toddler war, the My First Pet Stuff uproar, the bugs from Seasons, Island Living with it's problems and this latest patch. This patch was basically filled with things to look at. Nothing was added in terms of gameplay. Or even added to fix our other issues with the game. Three bug fixes, two of which I do not need, were the only ones in this patch. And since the game is already kind of a mess, why would I take the chance of adding even more bugs that might be hidden in this patch?

Good thing, because I did install the patch and my game has started crashing when I go into the gallery.

Try deleting your localthumbnailcache then repair your game. That worked for a friend of mine earlier today. I am so sorry it happened to you, too.

Bad, just bad... Do they actually know there's certain colors others people can find disturbing? Do they know we can't just choose random colors and decide to put them togheter? Do they know it's even worse now to make the difference between EPs and GPs? I feel like a I have a superior brain just because I asked myself those questions, by the way, I don't want to be rude to anybody.
I think the number one thing driving me really crazy about this UI change is something small but the unicorn Llama and freezer bunny jumping up and down on my screen. This is teen rated not TODDLER rated. I felt like it was made for a five year old...ugh I want it gone along with other things but this really needs to go.
I haven't d/l'd the patch yet (having been burnt in the past), but from the bug-report-forum it didn't look like the patch broke as much as the June 18th one did--at least not yet. What's your assessment? Is it relatively safe to d/l this one? (If you don't mind tagging me with an @, I'd appreciate it!) Thanks in advance!
not happy, I can press the play button and start from where I left off. press new game and start that. But I can't click the load and load my other saved family's. this plum.
I had this same issue. If you’re on a windows computer, try switching to windowed full screen mode (I think that’s what it’s called) in the game options. Someone posted this on EA Answers and this was one of their suggestions. Hope it works for you.
I wrote up a whole thing and ditched it. The only thing I want to know is if the base game people get all the swatches that came with the DLC because, you know, those items are still listed on the sales pages as part of the packs... if the base game has all of the original swatches as well then they are misleading new buyers on how full a pack is (even if it's only an item or so. On SPs that really matters).

No it doesn’t if the item has new swatches that’s all the BG gets (a player in either this thread or another one proved this by disabling all but the BG). I think most items have new swatches the only one I was unsure on was the city living skinny jeans.

I still can't believe we are, what, five years into The Sims 4 and we still don't have more traditional and realistic careers.
Ahahaha
Me too. I can't believe there are so many traditional and realistic careers still missing from this game!
It’s much cooler to be an “influencer” than having traditional jobs. Apparently.
“I don’t want to be a Lawyer, Mum and Dad- I just want to take selfies and upload my every waking move to the Internet”
They say hope is the last thing to leave a person. I think that may be true because I'm still hoping for some normal average joe careers. Why can't I choose for my sim to be a mailman? Or construction worker, firefighter, teacher or many other normal jobs.

Don't give them ideas!

I love that Nancy has the festival outfit bug in that picture.

I didn't even know that was a bug lol I thought she was just being skankky at the festival xD

Thanks! I'll try that.

I absolutely LOVE the story feature though!
