    SimGuruFrost has confirmed there will be an August Patch so I"m putting this up now.

    Confirmed a darker blue background to replace the brighter one. I'd say it looks similar to blue darkmode. Hoping for lots of bug fixes as well especially the bugs caused from the June 18th Patch and the Island Living bugs.

      Maybe some tweaks and fixes to Island Living and off-the-grid? I've seen complaints that you can't clean your toilet or change the laundry tub water with off-the-grid. Plus IL is still missing that island counter. And some other things like the mermaid genetics

      I would like them to fix the labeling on the new swatches from the CAS items. Instead of just getting rid of the original pack completely they should designate what is base game now and what is paid DLC. They did it with the IL toilet I don't know what they didn't do it for these items.

      Also the restaurant glitch is the worst glitch because I love restaurants but will delete the next Sim that steals my food.

      I guess I got lucky with the restaurent glitch cause when I sent my sims to a restaurent in Sulani that I placed their food didn't get stolen. They were eating outside if that makes a difference. Prehaps it only happens inside?

      The island living counter still needs and island. But why? It's a gosh darn it island pack!

      Yep it makes sense they should patch it in to match the tables and chairs.

      This is most likely gonna be the pre-pack patch for Moschino Stuff.

      Is it confirmed that they made those island counters, but they weren’t in the game for some reason? I feel like they just didn’t make them.

      I hope the August patch is jam-packed with bug fixes. There are just so many. Free items are always lovely and I certainly would not turn them down, but the bugs desperately need to be address. As @icmnfrsh said, the Off the Grid items need to be fixed. It just does not make sense that items cannot be cleaned or water replaced. Plus there are candles that do not work. There are also other kitchen and bathroom items that look like they should work off the grid.

      I would also love it if they popped a working well into the game, makes sense for getting water if there is no mains water. Perhaps have it so they could go there to water plants, change the washing tub, or fill the bath. I appreciate there would be a lot of animations attached to that. Or have one that if you had it on the lot then you could have water for these activities, just for a bit of visual realism.

      I would like something like a well as well, especially if they include other Items that Enable Functions to objects that are normally not usable off the grid, Like a Satellite for Internet, or Solar Panels and Wind Mills for Electricity.

      I could have sworn that the people who were at EA Play all said that they were told the counters and cabinets would be patched in.

      I just want some bug fixes. I've got random sims swarming over all my island living lots. The off the grid stuff desperately needs some bug fixes too.

      yeah a few gamechangers said they asked about them but they weren't added in in time and is supposed to be patched in. i know counters and islands are hard to make because they're modular but........this long with a dedicated staff making stuff as their job? weird. it does feel like they forgot them and is starting from initial scratch right now cause that's the only reason why i see it taking so long, having to go from concept art to approval than 3D rendering and approval then texture and approval and then finally plopped into a patch.

      The GameChangers said the island was glitching out and EA didn't want to put something so glitchy in the game.

      Not only the island counters, but please create the upper cabinets to match the bottom one, because the new island living counter doesn't match the other ones. thank you :/

      I hope this patch is bug fixed and another big patch because this one was not it.

      I completely agree. There are no matching upper cabinets and I feel the kitchen is unfinished without them.

      My wants for this patch would include:

      Bug fixes
      especially genetics
      and cold spot in water bug

      Improving IL

      -that missing counter option

      - added active water areas

      at least for Brindleton Bay
      and Windenburg

      as those worlds have ISLANDs

      -hammock

      that slipped out of IL files
      since well we saw that already don't just hide it in files

      - hula and haka

      since why can you do it in IL event but not in IL?
      that is just... why u do that

      -ladder stairs
      what up with that ladder u cant use as stairs?

      Improving Off Grid

      - ''furniture style'' category for it to make the objects easier to find
      - Off Grid Objects?
      - getting water from some source like well or waterfall or something to use water related objects would be neat

      Restaurant food stealing is so frustrating

      DEFINITELY agree that Off The Grid needs its own catalog sort section! And that 'Functions off the grid" label should be applied in the lighting category, also, because so many that look like they SHOULD work don't, and building just to build is a nightmare without having a sim in there to test every light out in live mode.

      I want nothing but bug fixes. And obviously the darker loading screen so I can finally load my game without worrying about my eyes hurting :(
      -probably just playing Phasmophobia :p

      Hopefully they fix the restaurant bug, I'm annoyed with other sims stealing my sims food. Retail could use an overhaul, it's definitely needed.

      Improvements to the off-the-grid trait would be great. I really want to use it but I'm worried about the restrictions.

      Bug fixes of course although I am rarely plagued with them (knock wood) so many are.

      An outdoor well with bucket or at least,
      a hand pump for sink (off grid) and one for outdoors.

      Fridges can also run on propane so
      maybe an option to have at least one enabled for off grid with all options with gas/wood stove.

      Popping in to say that even as I don’t have Island living the stealing drinks thing is happening in base game bars as well...really hope they fix this!

      Other than that, I love the new background for the loading screen...it’s a nice color.

      Would like to have some nice additions to the game, honestly I’d just like to feed the fish lol

      Bug fixes are needed, at least for those bugs that affect game play the most!

      There is not so much hurry with little/funny/not game breaking ones. Like sim swimming in roads of Windenburg country side on way back from work to home is ok, for a while.. (not really, but it's funny since it does not happen all the time) but that layer of dirt that appears in basements that you can't remove affects game play and building, please fix that as soon as possible.

      Also some improvements are always welcome!
