Good they added some new stuff to the game, they should do that more often really. I wish they would add even more interactivity between different packs like this even more. It connects all packs and make each and every one more fun as they tie in to one another. More reason to buy more packs, so go do more of that
During certain moon phases, Mermaids have less hydration loss, Vampires recharge power slower, Spellcasters cast spells more successfully, and Aliens receive a special moodlet
Oh...so this'll be joining Lifestyles in the "features I turn off" section. There's literally a power that ties vampires to the moon, so why not make the strength of that dependent upon the phases, rather than doing it for every vampire? Also, more powerful spellcasters? I'm good.
I'm just going to wait out them fixing the slow motion bug before I update. I'm not fine with sideways-facing sims, but creepy turning sims is an automatic "nope" for me.

I was kind of hoping for the opposite. Instead of the hijab without the veil, I would have wanted the veil without the hijab. But having a new hijab in base game is nice too in terms of representation.
Don't forget Lunar Cycle added to the 20 existing worlds (I'm not sure about Batuu and StrangerVille).
There's no reason the moon wouldn't be added to Strangerville, it's standard Earth town that should experience moon cycles. Batuu is questionable, because it's hard to know if they qualify it as an actual off-world experience, or if it's just make believe in Disneyland.

LOL!! I've had that glitch! It makes it seem like the game is haunted!
Anyone else getting lag/frame drops again since this new update?
Yes, I am in my test save which is as shipped, nothing in the worlds has been modified or added to at all, and I have no mods or cc in the game at all, and in Willow Creek at the Goth's house I am getting between 1 and 11 FPS.
Those moon prints are gorgeous, I have a few households that definitely need to acquire them. And oh my gosh, toddlers saying goodnight to the moon? So adorable! I will definitely be using that.
It does remind me that I really miss our sims being able to have dreams in TS3. I hope the toddlers having dreams is a first step to implementing that more broadly, or that they will at least consider it.

Oh I haven't missed it, and I don't want it anywhere near my game, hence I'm a few patches behind. If I accidentally update for any reason, I'm taking a hiatus.

@Brd709 and @elanorbreton I had lag in both live and BB mode, repairing the game seems to have fixed it. I went back into my test save which again is entirely vanilla, as originally shipped and have NO mods or CC installed at all, and I am now up to 40-60 fps on the Goth's lot in both modes.
I wish that there were as many bug fixes as there are changes to the main menu.
This! For example, I was hoping that they would fix the the creepy bug where the Sims turn their heads for a few seconds after the pause button is pressed. I'm a storyteller and for that I need the pause button to work correctly! Otherwise the moment I wanted to take a screenshot from is gone.
But the story about the giant telecope made me laugh I love this person, who writes the patchnotes! So creative and funny!
I'm glad they fixed the photo frame issue. That bothered the heck out of me! Where you'd pick a color and change your mind, then go back to black but the frame wouldn't change.

I have not had lag in buy mode. But, when I'm adding new objects or terrain from an update, I always go in directly from build mode in the neighborhood view, rather than opening the household in live mode and switching over. That always seems to make things go faster.

As for bug fixes, yeah more of that too :P

I'm getting huge lag in buy mode now...

No, I recommend backing up just to be safe always but I have never had it happen and I repair frequently.
