    Oh free costumes. Not a fan of the outside underwear part, but hey atleast I can have a "robot" servant now.

    I saw on Twitch that someone had the idea of using the robot costume on their butler but I don't think this is possible. It would be nice if Maxis made it so that we could choose it! :)

    No Maxis Monthly? So they will not announce a new pack before November? Or were MM’s only for free content?

    Sorry, this got changed a bit too often.

    They don't announce packs in Maxis Monthly (anymore). They also changed it again so that they only host a maxis monthly when there is noteworthy free content coming in a patch.

    I guess if the 'leak' is anything to go by, they will announce that University EP next week or the week after.

    Yeah, I thought as much. Thank you!

    Free content only.

    @Irdiwen The latest on MMs is they'll only happen if there's something major coming in a patch, be it free content or anything significant other than bug fixes). New packs have their own announcements so they wouldn't happen in a Maxis Monthly.

    Same here, @Rouenpucelle. I'm on a 2015 Macbook Air. This only really affects Macs from before 2010 or even older. I believe 2009 Macs can run at least Mountain Lion so they can be updated to newer OS versions to run TS4 okay after this patch.

    Would love more gory costumes. Not a fan of these. I am a halloween/darkness lover. So I really appreciate related stuff.

    I like these costumes but I'm afraid that it means we won't get real simbots in this version. And how about more costumes for kids. It is, mainly, for kids to wear costumes on Halloween. Why don't they get more costumes too?

    This X 100. Halloween is for children more than anything, and yet they're adding costumes only for adults? It's getting ridiculous at this point how much they neglect anyone who isn't a young adult in this game.

    I sincerely hope they do have costumes for toddlers and kids that they just chose not to show off as like a surprise or something.

    If anything, I feel like this means the opposite. Maybe the bots won't look exactly like that costume, or if they do, it'll only be their "default" appearance and also come with other styles or upgrades. Would be cool if you first made a simbot and it looked like that, but you could upgrade it either in game or with cheats to look more modern/stylized! Maybe you could even go full Terminator and make the bot look human, and only vampires (can't sense plasma/real emotions) and Spellcasters (magic, probably can't sense real emotions as well) can tell they're robots

    Even with Spooky Stuff and Seasons, the kids have almost no costumes. I feel like they can only be a pirate, a princess, a skeleton, or a skeleton princess. Not that it matters much anyway, since they can't even go trick-or-treating IIRC.

    But even though the adults have way more, I think we needed more Halloween costumes anyway, so I'm not too fussed.

    I hope they'd fix the photo frame rotation on surfaces. Right now they cannot be rotated when pressing the alt button at the same time...

    Robot costume ? Is it a hint (Future themed pack as EP09 or GP09) ?

    Fun! Robot Costumes. :) That I'll probably never use... :) But still fun. :)

    I get where people say we need more kid costumes. We do. More for toddlers too.

    But... at the same time... I make costumes for my kids beyond the ones that came in Spooky Stuff all the time. Granted I have Vampires, and between that and the holiday pack you can find a decent amount of stuff that goes beyond the pre-packaged costumes.

    Then again, I did community theater when I was younger. I made costumes out of my closet all the time.

    Was trick or treating ever a feature? Not counting that "trick or treat" challenge in 2015.

    So add other things. My Fright Fest has Decorate, Costumes, Trick or Treat (which never goes off for me either) and Spooky Spirit. I may not always get a "gold" but I usually don't get an "awful" result. Change it up to add things that work for your sims. Or even drop Trick or Treat

    I do wish they'd get Trick Or Treat to work better, yes. But until then, I'll just edit my holidays to cover what works for my play.

    (and IRL, I'm big into Halloween. This idea that it's just, or even mostly, for kids is quaintly amusing.)

    Its pretty much kids walk up to the candy bowl take candy and leave no actual game play can be done with it. Trick or treat has always worked for me I wonder why others are having issues with it.

    People might not realize that you need to put the candy bowl out to trigger the event?

    It's an optional holiday tradition with Seasons.

    I do have the candy bowl out, but it may be too far back from the front of the lot. And the tradition requires interacting with the trick or treaters, which I never even see spawn.
