Hi Simmers!

We have another update for you to improve some of the issues found after the release of Seasons and the June update. Take a look at the notes to see what has changed. Thanks for your support and be sure to enjoy the fantastic summer weather from time to time!

Let’s get into the patch notes!
-SimGuruGrant aka Grant Rodiek

The Sims 4

• We addressed an issue where the game would lag when placing wall patterns on blocks that were touching roofs.
• The Reset Object cheat is now available to the community again. You could say that we reset it.
• Sims no longer route fail when trying to enter a room on foundation level 1 that doesn’t have a stair. They just step up like a big kid, now.
• Neat Sims are no longer uncomfortable when near a fire place that has assorted upgrades.
• The lid for the GrillWise by GrillMania has been returned.

Get to Work

• The Lice Cold Retail Freezer can now hold harvestables for you to sell.

Cats & Dogs

• Cats and dogs should no longer fill your Sims’ queue with interactions. We want the pets to be friendly, but perhaps not that friendly.

Jungle Adventure

• Emotion berries now provide emotions again, which is a berry good thing.

Seasons

• Thermostats now have their interactions available when placed on Commercial and Vacation lots.
• You can no longer use the Woo interaction with Bee Swarms to, *cough* woohoo with a relative.
• Patchy the Scarecrow will no longer change into a human.
• We addressed an issue where roof decorations on some lots didn’t look appropriate for the Mac.

Hi Simmers!

With the launch of Seasons we encountered a few issues we weren’t expecting and wanted to quickly address as many issues as possible. We’re still following up on several community reports, so if you know of an issue that isn’t listed here, be sure to engage with us on the Forums or social media to continue the conversations.

Base Game

• We addressed an issue where fireplaces wouldn’t remain lit. Now, they should remain lit, and if they could talk, they would probably tell their friends “come thru, it’s lit.” Because it’ll literally be lit.
• We addressed some cases where players were experiencing severe lag when placing wallpapers in build mode.
• They always say the grass is greener on the other side, but here at Maxis we try to innovate, and unfortunately we made the grass really brown in some cases, even if you don’t have Seasons installed. We’ve now returned to our regularly scheduled green grass.
• Spliced plants now have a proper description so you know what comprises their genetic makeup.
• The underside of roof eaves no longer have texture.
• Plants were growing a bit too wildly out and about in the world. We’ve scaled them back with some digital, organic, completely sustainable pesticide.
• In the past, we accidentally made available several cheats that are meant for debugging and developing the game only. To be frank, the cheats are VERY dangerous and can have very unpredictable effects on your games. We took these cheats away to be safe. However, we took a few TOO many away. We have added the following cheats back:stats.set_skill_level
  stats.set_stat
  sims.fill_all_commodities
  stats.fill_commodities_household

• Plants inside a planter box can now receive water again.

Get to Work

• As expected, any objects placed in the Modern Metallic Illuminated Display Case can now be moved, removed, and so forth.

Seasons

• Calendar events will now occur on the day for which you planned them, thus ending centuries of debate on the purpose of a calendar.
• Player created events will now appear on the calendar as expected.
  NOTE: As a result of some calendar improvements, the dates for some of your currently scheduled events MAY change, but this will only happen once.
• In an unexpectedly diabolical twist, Sims were hosting pool parties in the winter and their guests were freezing to death. Yikes! Sims invited to the pool party are now immune to the effects of the cold during the party.
• We fixed an audio issue when Teen Sims plead for Forgiveness on gnomes.

Update: 06/19/2018 – PC 1.44.77.1020 / Mac 1.44.77.1220

Hello Simmers! SimGuruGrant here! This month’s update is a really big one with hundreds of tweaks, improvements, and fixes to a bunch of content in The Sims 4. Read below to catch up on some of the specific ones! SimGuruGnome is still off on assignment, so once again you’re stuck with boring old me. My apologies!

The Sims 4

• Fixed numerous pieces of clothing that were not properly compatible or had graphical issues.
• Fixed numerous issues related to having and interacting with a large number of objects in a Sim’s inventory.
• Players used to be able to grab a Sim from the gallery randomly then immediately upload it BACK to the gallery, gaining sole credit. That is no longer the case.
• We’ve been working with air traffic controllers, and as a result, birds are no longer flying through houses throughout the various worlds. It seems we were bird brains on this one.
• The Welcome Wagon will no longer hide their fruitcake for themselves. When they come say hi, they totally will give you that fruit cake. Which your Sims may or may not hate.
• Children no longer wake up in a panic every time they wake up. Now, only when there are monsters around.
• You can now successfully complete the wedding event by having the newlyweds enjoy the first slice of cake!
• Sims at a social event with failing needs will now properly return to their active lot when you tell them to do so as expected.
• If a Sim dies while their roommate is off lot, when the roommate returns, they’ll be very sad.
• If you try to add birthday candles to a cake, the tooltip tells you how to do so if it is currently on the wrong part of the table.
• Active Sims won’t try to drink so dang much during a party. Once they have a refreshing beverage, they should be good.
• The “Sims walking on their knees” issue has been fixed for toddlers who age up.
• The Book of Life can now be read if it is bound to the same lot as the Sim trying to read it. You can now truly get a life, or at least read about it.
• Custom Music should now work appropriately on all stereos.

Get to Work

• Aliens and Vampires no longer adjust the colors of their beards and eyebrows when going to work. The office uniform policy has been updated.
• Some of our fake, not approved doctors were assigning patients to beds that already had a patient in them. This is poor healthcare and we’ve fixed it.
• You can now sell gardening produce and flowers at retail again.
• The police chief can no longer be the suspect in a crime. OR CAN THEY? No, they can’t. We fixed it. Or…no seriously. Case closed.
• Sims can now purchase items stored in the LICE Cold Retail Freezer on NPC owned retail stores.
• Employee Sims will now clock in more reliably, and automatically be assigned a job task when they show up for work.
• Doctors and Detectives will no longer receive the Go on Vacation whim so frequently.

Get Together

• A Sim’s club progress no longer resets when transferring the Sim to a new household.

City Living

• Sims who are resurrected after dying from eating poisonous Pufferfish Nigiri will no longer die when they eat anything else. Sorry, seems it took us longer to get all the poison out than we would have liked.
• Sims listening to music via Earbuds (Fitness Stuff) will no longer cause a noise complaint from neighbors in the apartment.
• Food Critics will no longer have conflicting experiences when reviewing food.
• Squeamish Sims (Outdoor Retreat) are now properly affected by mice and natural dangers (Jungle Adventure).
• Sims will now fall asleep after receiving the Zonked moodlet from the Bubble Blower.
• Teenagers will no longer send inappropriate text messages regarding the Romance Festival.
• The Scattered Panes windows now cast appropriate shadows.

Dine Out

• New recipes from Cats & Dogs now function as expected in restaurants.

Perfect Patio Stuff

• Uhntz uhntz uhntz uhntz ALL RADIOS CAN NOW PLAY THE ELECTRONICA STATION uhntz uhntz uhntz uhntz

Cats & Dogs

• Male stall vendors who work in Brindleton Bay and San Myshuno no longer wear high heels. Nobody appreciates our fashion choices!
• Vet clinic staff will now work AS EXPECTED even if a TV or computer are on the lot. We had to update our staff policy.
• We unfloated the objects that were floating at the Pupperstone Park location.
• Cats will no longer receive a Flirty Moodlet from Flirty Paintings. They’ll have to look elsewhere to find love. Mee-yow.
• Spayed cats will no longer become pregnant after an adventure from the Free Spirit trait. Now they’re super fixed.
• Pet toys will no longer stick to cats when they’re finished playing with them. They’ll stay on the floor, as they should!
• Fixed situations where Sims were unable to adopt cats or dogs.
• Sims who belong to played households can no longer be employed by the Vet Clinic.
• Sims now face the right direction when fishing in Brindleton Bay. The water is thataway!

Romantic Garden Stuff

• When a new child is successfully summoned using the Wishing Well, the child is now actually added to the household. The magic had to be tweaked, and we apologize for any inconvenience.

Vintage Glamour Stuff

• We’ve added an interaction to send the Butler to sleep so that time will speed up when everyone in the household is now sleeping.
• You can now remove Vanity Makeup with a new interaction on the vanity table.

Laundry Day Stuff

• The maid will no longer put folded clothes back into the washer and dryer. They were just trying to help…badly.

Fitness Stuff

• Earbuds now raise a Sim’s fun need while music is streaming directly into their ears.

Bowling Night Stuff

• Sims can now socialize with each other while bowling, because it’s not like they’re breaking a sweat with rigorous athleticism.
• Sims will level up their bowling skill more quickly now.
• Sims can now choose between 3, 5, or 10 frame games of bowling, with the winning Sim’s score shown at the end of the game.

My First Pet Stuff

• Sims, and especially pets, will now be a bit less obsessed with their rodents.
• Sims who owned a rodent will become sad for a period of time when their rodent dies.

New Features for June Update (Several Tweets in Thread) – Glass Roofs! Finally! Use them to create a greenhouse or just a gorgeous new structure. You’ll find these in Build Mode. Be sure to share your creations with us on the Gallery!

• We added Cold Weather and Hot Weather Outfit categories in CAS. Whatever clothing you use here will work for those weather types. That means these categories will work with custom content and storytelling.
• We added a swimwear category for toddlers.
• We added a re-traiting potion. Huh? Yup! Go to the Satisfaction Store in the Aspiration panel and spend your satisfaction points. This lets you swap out your traits (5000 points!)
• We overhauled the Gardening Skill in a big way! We revised the tuning and balance to make it a little easier and more profitable. Less drudgery, more money! We synchronized plants to need water, etc. at the same time of day. Seed Packets can be opened if placed on the ground.
• More Gardening: There is a gardening sort in outdoor activities in Build to make it easy to find all the gardening equipment. You can also buy seed packets in build now! Gardening Evolution has been streamlined to 5 levels with better UI, plus we made the interaction immediate.
• More Gardening: Uncommon and Rare Seed packets can be purchased once you’re at higher levels of the gardening skill. This means you can just buy them instead of hunting them down in the world. You can research plants (new interaction) to gain info for your notebook.
• More Gardening: Research tells you things like the right growing season, sell price, and more. You can now sell Harvestables directly from the plant. Most interactions now have an “area of effect” option at higher levels so you can garden more quickly and efficiently
