Wants and fears still can't be turned off? They toggle right back on even if they're off in the options.
Elders are still scared of dying? All elders, running around terrified and screaming all the time. Poor elders will continue to be banished from my game.
For the record, I've not seen anybody say they wanted these removed. We just want the ability to turn it off. My OCD can't stand those little bubbles over there. It's messy.
ETA: Sorry! Multi-tasking with real life stuff and forgot to say... thank you for fixing HoB! Now I can move sims back in there and play in that area again without fearing the invasion of the Crumplebottom gals.
I moved away from Henford-On-Bagley every since the game started removing assigned pre-made NPCS from their jobs; so, thank goodness this is fixed. Now, I can visit and/or live in this world again.
Some things are more important to some players than others. The addition of the loyal trait is something I've wanted for a very long time. So, I'm happy it is now in the game.
Still waiting for them to fix Bust the Dust Kit because I had to turn this off since it is completely broken.
Please use this link to me too this bug and/or add your issue.

Toddlers' bodies stretch when carrying an umbrella. Sadly, this issue has been in the game since the introduction of seasons.

Lol. 😄
My sim self and his wife invites you to their house for tea and fruitcake! Nicely baked of course, he's maxed out both cooking skills!
do the same if the remove fear aspiration reward is fixed
I tried to use it on Mortimer Goth having fear of the dark but all the moodlets from the fear keep coming even though the trait does not show up in his panel anymore and i don't get the solve fear thing so he can't get rid of it normal way either
guess it is his destiny to forever fear dark eh
(i think it would also be neat to have aspiration rewards so sims can never have particular fear btw that could solve it when people get annoyed gaining specific ones over and over)
say in that " this sim has had fulfilled life they no longer fear the death" way
Not just elders its all sims I just today created couple ya aliens and they already have it
But now i'm not sure about my no-toilet-prank mod
*clears throat*
*wipes sweat from forehead*

There. I said it.
.... and I feel so much lighter for finally confessing my shortcomings.

I use the rewards store heaps in my game, and am always excited to have more.

I doubt she can stop you, but @simgirl1010 will still beat you to it most likely. Or maybe that will be the day Lucy lets Charlie Brown actually kick the football for once.😉

I also think the plumbob items/tattoos and the trait are things they could have held back and presented as a ‘free gift’ at the summit so I think it’s nice to just add them in this way. I will probably use this trait a lot.
I’m looking forward to trying the console UI stuff personally. If it lets me make the calendar/phone icon bigger then this will be a great patch. Also think it was a good idea to fix the broken scenarios. While everyone has their ‘most urgent’ bug, I think this is a good place to start. Sounds good!
I found Emily--well, one version of her. There are two or three more. They must have uploaded her after I looked. This Emily's aspiration is Renaissance Sim. Her traits are Loyal, Genius, and Cheerful.
Emily HelpCenter
Thank you for at least confirming that the broken on/off toggle is being investigated. It is a start and gives me hope. Let's hope the fix won't take as long as the rocketship fix. I don't mind the wants and fears system to be around but I wish I could use the wants and fears separately. I like wants for a few extra aspiration points, but dislike how fears implemented as traits.
As for the rest of the update, I have mixed feelings about Emily. She can be useful for new players, but I thought we already had a tutorial to take care of learning the game. I guess it all depends on how intrusive Emily will be and if there is a working off switch for people who already know the game.
There is a check box under Tutorials and Tips in Game Options that will turn off Emily and another one to remove the Help Center icon from the UI.

Yes, this! 🫶 I’m still hoping they will finally let us have at least 5 CAS traits assigned to a sim, it is ridiculous to have only three traits describe a whole person and the lactose intolerant one… still bugs me 🤦♀️ I really hope they upgrade the whole traits system and add good traits and bad traits or something but probably not gonna happen.
My knees are shot, but I did send a very polite email on your behalf
