I do like the Patch otherwise and my Sims will all have easels in their inventories!

> @Writin_Reg I'm curious as to what patch you have been on without issues? Have you installed the 7/31 patch yet? I ask because I've been too scared to install Seasons (along with a game and stuff pack) based off the bugs I've read about. I'm really scared about my current saves getting the mass freezing deaths bug if I install.

None of my own Sims have. Right now I have just 12 houses I play in rotation, I had restarted a brand new game after Pets came out. I also gave new outfits for weather to some of the Maxis households too - but have not done them all.

Thanks for answering about your game. That's interesting you've barely had any issues. I don't have any mods and just have a small amount of CC. Thanks for the tips, too. I think I'll keep reading some more on the update and just wait a while still before installing.
> With the new update and popular now being the set to as default when you open the gallery, it is causing new builds not to be seen. Many simmers don't know or don't realize the change causing new simmers/ builds a disadvantage over those with a ton of followers. I spent a good amount of time yesterday watching new builds as they were uploaded to the gallery , very nice builds had either none or very few ,as low as 1 to 2 downloads. I feel these builds would have done a whole lot better if they were uploaded before the update. People don't know to switch over to newest or don't know how ( newer simmers). Please , Please, Please change back to newest being default and support all builders , not just ones with followers.
I completely agree. One of my uploads happened to be in Popular now when the update came live, and it got almost 10.000 downloads in a day, which is completely insane. It shows the impact that the Popular Now filter has, being the default setting. Also I noticed almost all new uploads have ZERO downloads and favs. I usually search the newest uploads to discover new interesting buildings, so I can tell the big difference this change has made.

Thanks Ginnysakazaki for commenting, congrats to you on 10,000 thou , lol. It's very disappointing to many and understandably so. Hope someone see this and other fellow simmers concerns and this gets corrected quickly.
Oh goodness - I do too. She had the worlds best giggle and she really, really loved making the worlds for the Sims 3 store. On top of it she answered all our questions. She was how I found out what tools Maxis used in the Sims 2 and 3 and how they made the CAW tool off of their World Builder tool.
She was definitely a great Guru that I felt privileged to get to know fairly well.
She was also a great and genuine person. I never stopped hoping that one day her and her family would return to So. Cal and maybe the Sims too.

In dreams - I LIVE!
In REALITY, I simply exist.....
Having the "newest" as the default, brings the diversity and quirckiness that I think makes simmers such a special bunch and it should remain that way.
All my creations are CC free.
The same thing happened to me and I love big generations

Yep this is happening to me too right now and it's really upsetting to be honest
They really don't understand us do they. Offending Simmers all over, Those speaking European languages, Australians and New Zealanders as well. American English is to be the norm as well.
I think I will play Offline in future and ignore all online content so as not to get my blood pressure to boiling point.
Same here. They need to go back to the drawing board. Perhaps Simmers were so "hyped" they overloaded the servers!
We are indeed having some issues - it is under investigation.
Thank you for your patience while we work on this.
Oh, thank you for letting us know!
