    Strange that the hello doesn't include all languages in which the game is available.

    Sul Sul, Simmers and Bok, Ciao, Cześć, Dia Dhaoibh, Guten Tag, Hola, Hej Hej, Helô, Moikka, Привіт, Sveiki, Merhaba, Tungjatjeta, and Hello from around the world!It’s an extra special leap year, because in just a few days we’ll be releasing The Sims 4 Crystal Creations Stuff Pack.

    What’s New?
    In this update you might see a new button in the top right corner of your screen.

    This cart emblazoned button has many uses ranging from sharing pack offers and sales information to recommending packs you might be interested in. All accessible without leaving the comfort of your Sims’ homes.

    ...

    Does anyone have a screenshot of this new icon? Is this the start of adds for packs in the game itself?

    Welp, I’ll be skipping this update for the time being. I think the shopping cart will annoy me more than the holiday bug, and I have to wait for mod updates anyway. And a new mod to get rid of the pulsating shopping cart, apparently.

    The way that cart button pulses is EXTREMELY distracting and annoying

    Ugh... Yeah... And it starts repulsing after a while even if you clicked it already. Very annoying.

    What has me concerned is that the "cart" button could be a precursor to microtransactions in the game.

    if they add that means under 18 can't play as that would lead to them using parents credit card.

    I just went in "clean" and everything loaded up fine. Mods next.

    There's a new thing - a Discovery Quest for skills. UGH. The game's been around for 10 years and I've been playing for over 4 years...don't appreciate the Discovery Quests, much too late for most of us. So I have to remember to opt out or I spend half my time closing them up, then getting yelled at by EA prompts for doing so!

    @columbia93 I believe you can turn discovery quests off in game options.

    Maybe it's only there for a short while after loading the game.

    I haven't updated yet (still at work) but I *do not* like the idea of an in-game shopping cart. At. All.

    I much prefer buying from the App instead.

    Yea no flashing cart button here either. May have been when I first loaded but I never even noticed. But definitely not there now.

    OK, this actually makes me nervous. Does it really disappear? Does it come back?

    Does the button still flash if you play offline? I’m really hoping not… I do not like the sound of this at all, though I haven’t yet seen it in my game.

    I have a display glitch with the new UI button going on in my game. The icons are all jumbled up, stacked on top of each other. I don't have any mods that effect UI. And I checked my Options settings for the UI scale, and it was on default. Anyone else have an issue like this?

    For me the button was not visible first in one save and then appeared in another afterwards... 🤔

    I saw on Discord that MCCC is broken and there’s a hotfix coming out soon. The update broke a lot of script mods.

    It is mod for sure. I had similar issues in the past with some of them. Maybe more traits? Or more columns in CAS? Tool from TwistedMexi?

    @Adria22 Thanks, I figured it out! It was Better Build/Buy.

    OK, I uninstalled Better Build/Buy by Tmex, and the icon glitch was gone. Apparently that mod effects the Live Mode UI too, not just BB, which I didn't know. Anyway, I'll report that Better BB needs an update. Just heads-up for anyone else using that mod.

    @FreddyFox1234 A hot fix has been released now so just about to try it out now

    Anyone what the houseDescription.client package file is all about? Is this new?

    @lanlyn I use Tmex's BB so thanks for the heads-up 🙂.

    In short - EAxis fixed a bug that some modders fixed in their mods a while back, so now those mods need their fix removed so they work again. That is why MCCC just needed a hotfix to be fine.

    Thanks for showing what it looks like. I was gonna wait for my mods to be ready before updating. Maybe I will wait longer. This means waiting with the cristal creations stuff pack as well, so the shopping cart will delay me buying the new SP🤔 So be it.

    Sim realist mods need to be updated as well and Meaningful Stories.

    My child sim just did this autonomously after update:

    She's running on it as adults would with no issues but she's floating on it. But there no options to click on the others. I have no other mods apart from MCCC.

    But there's no interaction in her queue:
