FIXES & UPDATES

The Sims 4

• Improved compatibility with newer macOS releases, refer to FAQ for more details here
• Made some small visual and functional improvements to the Main Menu.
• Custom paintings on nearby lots that are taken a picture of from your active lot will now properly flag your lot as custom content when uploading it to the Gallery.
  • So sneaky!
• We addressed an issue resulting in a “Conflicting Block Cluster” error message that could occur while building, preventing you from being able to draw or move walls.
• Non-active traited Sims will no longer get the “Not Enough Exercise" tense moodlet.
• Stair railings will no longer appear incomplete when placed against a half-wall.
• Whims are once again able to be completed after Travel.
  • Whims are things your Sims want to do, but you don’t have to.
• You can now safely raise or lower the foundation of The Nookstone lot in Oasis Springs - walls, floors, and furniture will no longer disappear.
• The Tutorial will no longer lock if your Sim is promoted before you are given the "You Need to Gain Skill to be Promoted" task.

Get Together

• Fixed a graphic issue that could occur on Mac with some Intel graphics cards that caused plants in Windenburg to appear blocky when in Laptop Mode.
  • So if you are on a Mac, with an intel graphics card, and you are in laptop mode, and you are playing in Windenburg… we got you covered.

City Living

• Bulldozing 888 Spire Apartment lots should no longer result in error code 123:28b6ee3b.
  • We hope it does not result in error code: 123:456789abcde
    • We are fairly certain it should not result in error code: 8675-309
      • And under no circumstance should error code 42 occur.

Cats & Dogs

• The male veterinarian coat now has a properly visible ID badge.

Seasons

• Sims should no longer get the "Chilled" buff when the thermostat is set to warmer.
  • Unless you have a heater that turns on and off repeatedly due to a bad switch in the system, and then when it decides to fail completely, it just ignores input for about 3 hours, and then when you wake up in the morning you have to carry a heavy blanket with you… ah hm… nm.

Get Famous

• Actor prep tasks will no longer reset on traveling.
  • This is the second travel issue in the game… was it trying to tell us something?

Island Living

• Beaches are available for weddings.

Discover University

• Sims living in dorms should no longer receive high bills to live there.

Spa Day

• The "Take bath with Soaks" and "Take Mud Bath" interactions are once again, once again available on Showertubs.
  • This time we won’t have to remove the fix because of… crosses fingers.

Jungle Adventure

• Child sims will no longer get a flirty buff after eating Flutterberry.

Realm of Magic

• Magical Clones will no longer become permanent Sims after traveling.
• Sims can once again resume writing books when their familiars are active.
