    I would settle for Maxis just fixing the things that are continuously broken, at least until the next patch comes around to re-break them.

    The team has also been hard at work on some new surprise additions we plan to bring to the game over the summer. They are not massive changes, but they are pretty cool ones that I think you will have a ton of fun with.

    Nothing major.

    I say forget about the packs and just fix bugs.

    There are error messages to fix when a household or Build Mode are loaded from the worldmap.

    When is the next patch likely to drop? There are some (= lots) of bugs from EL/the EL patch) that I am really hoping will be fixed soon. Gardening in particular needs to be addressed in the July patch.

    Probably this week or the next week. Their previous patches have been released between the 10th - 20th July.

    I'm thinking Next Week as EA is having some kind of Livestream on Eco Lifestyle Today.

    I want to see new stuff when the patch releases, BUT if they do not fix the 134:b378c837 error code, we will not be able to enjoy new stuff. :D

    This is another "story" stream series, like the one they did back in... march? April? where they have different SimsGurus and Gamechangers stream parts of making a brief story. It's not any sort of preview or anything like that.

    That said, as this is going on this week and a patch would be disruptive, I agree that the patch is more likely for next week.

    Patch Fixes must come with Vehicles & Garages.

    Who says we are getting a patch this month at all though?

    They said they have a few -not game changing- fun things coming up in updates over the Summer, but there still is August and September too.

    Personally I think this will be a quiet month. In August they will probably release the Knitting pack and in September the next GP.

    I hope there's a patch this month with bug fixes for the most annoying ones from all the many that came with EL. I can't think of waiting 20+ days to have game breaking bugs fixed. It's more than a month now from EL's release date.
    It makes no sense to pre order packs... 😔

    There were enough bugs thrown up by the Eco Lifestyle pre-patch and Eco Lifestyle itself that weren't covered in the hot-fix patch that I'd hope they're at least planning a bug-fix patch. Even if I don't see most of them because I don't have Eco Lifestyle yet.

    Extra stuff would be nice, but I'm perfectly fine with a bug-fix only patch.

    How do you guys find out about these livestreams? I'm always out of the loop, even though I visit the forum almost every day.

    Ooh Be Gah!! Whipna Choba-Dog? Whipna Choba-Dog!! :smiley:

    The schedule was posted to twitter, and eventually to the Sim Gurus on Twitter thread. I don't know that they get posted on other social media, though.

    I also watch/participate in GrimSuruDoi's morning Crossword on Twitch (roughly 7am PST), so it was discussed there earlier in the week.

    Patch Notes
    Update 07/08/2020
    PC: 1.64.84.1020 / Mac: 1.64.84.1220
    Console: Version 1.28


    Hello Simmers!

    We have a small but important update for you to address a couple of critical issues. As well as a “Coming Soon” feature announcement that you can find in The Gallery! We hope you will join in on the fun as we get closer to the 17th! Check out the Gallery for more details!

    Happy Simming,
    SimGuruGnome Ft. SimGuruRusskii

    And now onto the fixes:

    Sims 4
    Fixed an issue with cycling swatch options while using the Numpad + and - keys.
    Fixed an issue which caused Error 122:324a2e8e to occur.
    Fixed an issue which caused Error 134:b378c837 to occur.
    Hello Error 134, was it me you were looking for? I don’t wonder where you are (now) and I don’t wonder what you do (now), I hope you don’t get lonely…
    Fixed an issue in which when two Households were on Vacation (or one of them were), the messages for Vacation Ending were ambiguous or incorrect.
    Fixed an issue for Consoles in which the Main Menu became unresponsive when disconnected from The Gallery.
    Fixed an issue in which if Simmers were offline and they clicked on The Gallery tab or their Profile tab resulted in their contents in My Library would disappear.
    We turned it off and on again.
    Made some updates to some of the icons for Off-The-Grid related Moodlets.
    Fixed an issue in which some floor textures were disappearing if Stilts were put over terrain tiles. Kinda groovy but we had to fix that.
    Create a Sim asset yfBody_EF18SportStriped_SolidBlueTurquoise has been fixed to avoid clipping with all types of shoes. In the same vein, we fixed a clipping issue when top yfTop_EP03JacketTie_SolidBlueDkBlue is paired with bottom yfBottom_EP02SkirtAsym_Blue (for those who own Get Together and City Living).

    Get Together
    Corrected Residential Lot status of “The Summer Home” Lot in Winderburg. Against all previous evidence, it is actually NOT an Incomplete Lot.

    Discover University
    Fixed an issue in which the game froze when moving to dorms in University of Britechester when giving control to another Sim.
    The University of Britechester and The Foxbury Institute have now associated some of their Degrees with Freelancer Maker and Civil Designer careers! See you next term Simmers!

    Eco Lifestyle
    Fixed an issue in which the Fabrication sound effect continued playing even after Fabricator had completed its task. Had the Fabricator become sentient… self aware?
    Sims will now actually receive their inheritance after Marrying within the 7 days as instructed. Marry for love or Simoleons? <insert Telenovela Music>
    Next on Pasión de Simoleones.
    -”Roberto Alejandro del Valle de la Mancha - I love you, I’m glad we are finally together after numerous Sim days and nights… even at Super Speed 3… it felt like an eternity not being able to tell you about my feelings…”
    -”Catalina Josefina Martínez Ochoa de la Trinidad, I loved you since you got that phone message saying you had an inheritance coming… my love will be with you always… or at least until my Motherlode cheat stops working and those Simoleons run out…” <looks away>
    -”Oh Roberto Alejandro… <dramatic embrace>
    Don’t miss our next episode…
    Somebody please stop Russkii.
    Fixed an issue in which while playing in Low Medium Graphic Settings, doors and windows would not display in Pinecrest Apartments. Where did they go? What secrets have they unveiled?
    Corrected some terminology related to policies in the Bills and Utilities interface.
    Fixed an issue in which when zooming in Pinecrest Apartments, you could sometimes see a hole in the ground without textures. Nothing ominous, no… right?

    The 'All Included!' Lamp With Storage is no more, it has become the 'Not All Included!' Lamp Without Storage as our text writer was deceived and the Lamp does not allow a deco slot. Shenanigans!

    So wait. Instead of giving it deco slots so it can live up to the name, they just changed the name and didn't improve it in any way?

    That seems SO lazy. :/

    The laziest most underwhelming patch we’ve gotten in a while.

    Specially in a moment when people spent $40 pre ordering an unfinished expansion pack and are playing it full of bugs for more than a month now...

    Even worse when you consider that modders fixed it in less than a week, while it took the devs nearly six months to basically say that they gave up. And that even devs thought the lamp would have a slot.

    wow, I am again, at a loss for words.

    Looks like Nifty Knitting is releasing this month after all. which means we'll get another patch in July.
