    Patch Notes.

    What’s New?

    Are your Sims looking for love? Maybe they’ve already found it? With this update, your Sims have a new relationship option in Create a Sim. Sims can start out Engaged if they set their relationship to Fiancé. With this new relationship option, your Sims will be ready to experience the upcoming My Wedding Stories Game Pack to its fullest.

    Do you love Weddings? What about building? If you do, we’ve got you covered. There is a new Wedding Venue lot type that can be created by anyone who owns The Sims 4. Love knows no bounds and neither do Wedding Venues.

    We heard you like music… The World station is now available for everyone, with four new songs added with My Wedding Stories in mind. Previous World station songs will continue to be part of their original pack, but everyone can enjoy these new songs as part of the base game experience. Additionally, the perfect love song that was featured in the My Wedding Stories trailer is available on the Romance station for anyone who is looking to listen to it over and over again.

    There are also a few Create a Sim item updates for all players. To support My Wedding Stories, we’ve added a few new items plus additional color swatches to some older ones. New items include a bindi, a toddler full body swimsuit, and french tip nails. We have updated 10 items with a variety of new colors, spanning all ages and genders:
    5 dresses for Women
    yfBody_DressWeddingMermaid
    yfBody_DressWeddingTiered
    yfBody_DressFrillyRomantic
    yfBody_DressFlutter
    yfBody_DressBridesmaid
    2 Suit Jackets for Men
    ymTop_Coat
    ymTop_CoatDoubleBreasted
    1 Suit for Children
    cmBody_Tuxedo
    1 Suit for Toddlers
    puBody_SuitShorts
    1 Dress for Children
    cfBody_FP01Dress (Free Holiday Pack)

    Additionally in Build Buy you will see that the two Base Game wedding arches and the Pergola now come in a few more colors.


    Bug Fixes

    The Sims 4
    Male Celebrity Sims will no longer use the feminine walking or jogging walk style unless that's what you prefer them to do.
    Clicking on a Sim's face in Create a Sim will take you to the general Face, Hair or Accessories selection mode now instead of taking you to the Detail Edit Mode straight away. Sims do also deserve a little personal space. :)
    Improved performance when switching from Live to Build Mode in certain cases.
    Fences should no longer disappear when hovering a gate over them after using the bb.moveobjects cheat.
    Playing with Genetics in Create a Sim will no longer generate Teens with crow's feet skin details. There are so many things that teenagers worry about - crow's feet shouldn't be one of those things.
    Error 142: 9a63747c should no longer appear in future saves when loading certain lots.
    Sim can move or travel to lots after returning from a concert now without getting stuck in the Manage World screen.
    Selecting the yfHair_SP19CurlyUndercut_Red hair style for your Sim in Create a Sim will no longer apply the color of the hair to the Sim's eyelashes.
    Children should have matching eye colors of their parents now if both parents have purple or red eyes.
    Some players reported an error saying "Entitlement missing" when attempting to move or delete walls of Lots placed from the Gallery. This error should no longer occur.
    Obese Sims’ upper bodies should no longer shrink in size when zooming out while wearing specific outfits (ymTop_EF15ShirtCollared & yfBody_SP16Pajama).
    Turning off the console legend option in the game options menu will now properly hide controller hints from time control and Sim selectors.
    Long nails no longer poke through the gloves of certain outfits.
    Fixed some issues that may cause an endless loading screen when attempting to load certain lots or saves.
    The Create a Sim interface was a little slow when loading thumbnails and color swatches in the hair section. We made some tweaks, and the images should load much faster now.
    There was a funky toddler thumbnail displayed under the Accessories section for toddlers. This thumbnail did not serve any purpose and has been removed. Enough funk for you, sneaky toddler.
    Heeled shoes no longer appear glitched while wearing ymBottom_EF28JeansSkinTight pants.

    Cottage Living
    Grim Reaper now possesses the emotional fortitude to deal with the death of two animals at the same time. Life can be harsh buddy, I know.
    Pants ymBottom_EP11PantsCorduroy_SolidGinger should now properly appear when selecting the masculine filter. We also updated the fit on feminine frames.
    The yfHair_EP11BunTwists_broen hairstyle should no longer create white lines on your Sims face when selecting this hair style in Create a Sim.
    Toddler shorts pfBottom_EP11ShortsDrawstring no longer show a gap between upper and lower body.
    Wisteria and Ivy plants placed against a wall inside a room appeared darker in some spots than they should have. We shed some light on those plants and they should appear much better now. :)

    Eco Lifestyle
    Lots in Evergreen Harbor should now have some proper ground beneath them when accessed through build mode and the world should not look like it's underwater any longer.

    Discover University
    The yfTop_EP08CardiganButtonup top now works properly with boots.

    Dream Home Decorator
    Dress yfBody_GP10DressSuspender_SquareNavy no longer causes discoloration on certain shoes.
    GP10SkinnyJeanFlanel pants look fabulous combined with boots now.
    The ymBottom_GP10WorkPants should now be properly resizable on male Sims.
    The Mid Century Style Filter will include items from all packs now, not just from Dream Home Decorator.
    Switching from Build and Buy Mode to Live mode and back to Build and Buy mode while working on an Interior Decorator gig, caused the amount of Simoleons already spent not to be deducted from the Client budget. This has been fixed now and the Client budget should always account for already spent Simoleons.

    Star Wars: Journey to Batuu
    We fixed an issue that caused Batuu Credits to be falsely displayed as Simoleons in the Household Funds.

    Strangerville
    You can harvest Bizarre Fruits from Bizarre Plants now. ΜØŦĦ€Ř... ĆΔŁŁŞ ŦØ Μ€…

    Spa Day
    Sims with the Self-care Specialist Aspiration can sell Harvestables without issues now.

    Dine Out
    There was some discrepancy in Perk points shown for business owner Sim in the "Owned Business" menu vs. the "Restaurant Perks". The "Owned Business" menu will show the correct number of remaining Perk points going forward.

    Tiny Living
    Toddlers should no longer have a bald spot on their head when wearing hair styles from Tiny Living. Hair clippers should be stored outside the reach of children.

    Blooming Rooms Kit
    Some plants from the Blooming Rooms Kit were updated to not cast a wrong shadow any longer.

    Fashion Street Kit
    Pants ymBottom_SP24ShortsTied & ymBottom_SP24PantsLayered do also no longer cause clipping when paired with boots.

    Courtyard Oasis Kit
    The Star of Paradise Fountain can be found in the Build & Buy catalog now when applying the Kits filter.

    The new swatches on the wedding arches are nice, especially the rainbow ones.

    And the new swatches on the formal clothes are really good too, much more variety.

    And a few much needed bug fixes - not a bad patch this time :)

    thank you for sharing those images, @MDianaSims I'm dieing to see more stuff like this because I'm holding off updating my game until more of the mods which I use are either cleared by their creator or updated. I really like that new dress swatch.

    I was going to question why the clown wasn't smiling on his wedding day, but then I saw that he is unable to kiss his bride because their noses are colliding. That'd make me sad too.

    Any new bugs?

    The only one I've seen so far is the ones effecting Evergreen harbor (see post right above yours). That doesn't mean there aren't any others, but that's the only one I've got in my game so far.

    His tweet doesn't mention it, but for me, the game threw an error code and told me I should completely restart the game when I tried to have a Sim visit Evergreen Harbor. It would be a bad idea for anyone who has a played household in that world to update their game, I think.

    The new toddler swimsuit is super cute! It has a bunch more swatches but I only took screenshots of a few

    (didn't mean to update this soon lol, accidentally did it since I wasn't playing in offline mode, but it's fun to see the new stuff sooner than usual :smile:)

    Good gosh I'm glad Eco Living never appealed to me. Between those incredibly annoying sounding NAPs and an unplayable world, I'd be pretty salty if I spent money on this.

    First the flash flooding in Evergreen Harbour, and now someone has pilfered the walkways and a crane in Windenburg. (How is that even possible?)

    I've noticed minor problems with "line holes" before this patch. Haven't been playing in "Evergreen Harbour", but noticed it in other worlds like "Newcrest" for example. I think I'm actually going to opt out of this one for awhile.

    Please keep us updated if this ever fixed. :)

    What can cause buildings to disappear? 👀

    Is it because they’re technically decorations and something is blocking them from appearing? 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️.


    Now alternating between Sims 2,3 and 4! 😊☕️🌞

    It doesn't happen if you start a new game (or at least it doesn't for me), so I suspect that they did something with some of the assets that causes existing games to think those assets are missing, like change their asset id's or something. Similar to what you see when you download a lot that uses CC or packs you don't have, causing things to disappear.

    After my last post, and seeing that Evergreen harbor was "okay" if I started a new game there I tried something in my existing game and for me, doing this fixed the issues in Evergreen Harbor that I experienced. Sharing it here for anyone else with problems with the world.

    To set the stage, before trying all of this, if one of my Sims (in my existing save) visited the Quarry in Evergreen harbor, I'd get an error telling me I should restart the game and the travel option would abort.

    So what I did was follow these steps after loading the game, and before ever visiting the world (Having restarted from older save points after the failed attempts).

    1. I turned bb.moveobjects on (not sure if this really mattered)
    2. From manage worlds, I loaded each of the community space lots in BB mode.
    3. I made one small change to each lot before leaving it (not sure if this really mattered).
    4. I then loaded up Live mode with one of my played Sims and visited the world.

    After following those steps, I did not get any error messages and I did not have any missing assets at any of the locations. The walkway was there at the quarry, the crane was there at the docks, etc. Everything is working fine and nothing is missing.

    Note, that in manage worlds-BB mode, the walkway is missing, the water tower is missing, the crane is missing. But it's all there in LIVE mode.

    That could be it. Possibly the wedding pack has alot of re-written code that "HAD" to be put into the "core" of the game.

    I'm speculating, but since "Evergreen Harbour" is the most versatile world that can change drastically (The eco footprint for example), perhaps that is why it is messed up the most from this current patch. A patch that forced stuff in a "sledgehammer" way. The world with the most versatility and variety would be affected the most.

    What may be needed to clear this bug is perhaps deleting the cache for Sims 4. That is where things are saved to make things load faster.
    A 'reset' so-to-speak.

    How does one do that again??? :grey_question:

    EDIT: @Stormkeep Missed your last edit on your post. That's sorta a 'reset'. I'll get the patch and try that.

    Cheers!
