Patch Is Now Available! (Update From The Sims 7/29)

Same here. I sent my sim on a hike and 99% of the hike he was playing with his cellphone. That beep noise is already driving me nuts!
That's hilarious but also annoying. Like it wasn't bad enough that they already run with umbrellas. Hopefully all that will get fixed

Don't like what I'm hearing about the phone either, had a bad feeling the phone overhaul might result in a phone obsession and it seems that's the case. Uuugh!
Mobile phone obsession is one of my least favorite sims-things. It gives me no joy to have sims ignoring other sims and activities over their phones.
I will just remain in the past and play on my old patch. Bummer that I miss the mountain excursion being fixed but is not worth every single sim being glued to their phone.
Do you hate that thing to? I swear it takes me like 10 minutes in real life to figure out where everything is.
Oh dear lord the werebeast umbrella nonsense. It makes me wanna cry….
No, wait. If you listen carefully you can actually hear me sob.
Umbrellas and phones are the most character breaking objects in my saves. I wished they ceased to exist in some of my sim’s lives. A this point I just wish they ceased to exist.
I’ve learned that some stuff broke since the latest patch but without taking that into consideration (I know, impossible) I’m pretty happy with what they’ve delivered.
-The bodyhair menu is great! Sure, it needs additional, Luumia style body hair patterns: In my humble opinion it looks a wee bit “bare” in there at the moment but I have hope. I have hope.
-Curved walls. 👍🏼. I’ve seen some interesting builds that resemble cherries and aubergines….
-Sexual Orientations. I’m ready for it. 😇
-The additional ”glued to phone walkstyle” however……this stuff actually worries me. It makes my blood boil me when folks do this in real life. There have been countless times I’ve had to hit the breaks of my car due to some brainless primate randomly crossing the road, their eyes glued to their smart phones. They’re only engaged with social media traffic. Lethal fast steel machines on wheels thundering towards them do not seem to faze these absolute numbskulls. They should be glad I’m an alert driver and others are too. 🤬
I’m very surprised that Maxis promotes this behavior in the game without repercussion. I wouldn’t mind if one of the consequences is a new kind of death (what else could it be? Sims is “satire” after all) but by the looks of it all sims just wander around like this, the absolute fools.
DITCH.THE. 💩💩💩. PHONES!
MAXIS we’re all begging here:
🔥PLEASE 💥PROVIDE💥A💥 PHONE💥 TOGGLE!!!!!!! 🔥
This is infuriating. It really is.
PLEASE. PLEASE! PLEASE!
*sobbing turns into wailing*
BECAUSE I HAPPEN TO WEAR SHORTS RIGHT NOW I’M BEGGING ON MY BARE KNEES!!! 😭
I've never had this happen in my game before, but at least it's funny. Maybe I'll make the cats Simstagram stars, so they will be proper celebrities.
also I just know the umbrellas will continue to be glitchy forever so could we please make it so sims only gain them if you actually buy them and have them in inventory you know
and while we are at it same for the freaking earbuds even tho not particularily causing trouble why should our sims own them by default
and yes ive said it million times but ill say it again for the mysterious figure at the back
LET ME DISABLE RANDOMIZED TOWNIES thank.
okay I howl enough ill go hibernate now because i was outdoors for literally 5 minutes today and i got sun rash i wasnt even in the freaking direct sun

yup, Ive noticed alot of overnight celebrities too...including their pets!
I saw this on bug reports:

Can pets normally gain fame and be celebrities? I tried to google this a couple of days ago, but didn't find the answer... kind of thought they probably can't, but now I'm curious. My Mayor Whiskers would like to know... he has Nancy as his assistant and photographer, but I haven't got to play with them yet. I don't want Nancy to be famous though because she's just an assistant
Also the werewolves and umbrellas bug report:

I haven't downloaded the update yet (waiting on mod updates and bug fixes) but I have read the patch notes and I saw the reveal about the phone update during the HSY stream, and I was not happy. I wish we didn't have the update forced upon us (another reason I'm waiting, honestly). Did people ask for the phone to be changed? Does everything have to be ultra modern now?
Then again, I wish we could do away with phones in the game entirely, if we wanted to. Occasionally I play saves where the phones are completely anachronistic. I'm happy we can turn off the phone calls by muting phones but I admit that I personally didn't see the need for the upgrade.
Yes, please!
