Patch Notes

Update: 05/25/2017 – PC Version 1.30.103.1010 / Mac Version 1.30.103.1210

Hello Simmers,

Welcome to the base game release for Parenthood! Which is all about those quiet family moments. Taking time to enjoy when things settle down. When all becomes quiet, and you can just take it all in, reflecting upon life…

..er, wait sorry. That’s like 20-30 years after parenthood begins (results may vary).

I meant to say, this is a hectic time. A time of crazy, noise filled chaos, where the concept of quiet exists for only 3 hours between 2 and 5 am. And where tension is worn like a badge of honor! So wear yours with pride, and let’s start with just a little bit of what’s new in this release…

What’s New?

The Load / Save menu has been updated to be… modern.

  • Save slots now use household thumbnails instead of a text list
    • No more will you have to remember which save your Goopy-Gilscarbo household was in – it’s all visual now!
    • Thumbnails however will be blank until the save is opened, and re-saved post patch release.
  • Save backups can now be restored via this UI by clicking on the Recover Save option from the Load Game dialog.
  • Users can now see where on disk a particular save file exists by hovering over the File icon in the Load Game dialog.
    • You can also click the button to copy the path to your clipboard.
  • You can now rename your save from the Load Game dialog.
  • The auto-save feature has been removed as it was not functioning properly.
    • The feature as originally implemented was confusing and did not function as expected by users.
    • Save now occurs explicitly at the players request either by choosing to save when exiting to the Main Menu, Manage Worlds, or Quitting. Or by choosing Save or Save As from the ESC menu.
  • The Save As dialog has also been modified to show thumbs.
  • The first option in the Save As dialog is to be used to create a brand new save, but you can also choose to overwrite existing saves.

New Lights in Buy Mode.

Three new lights can be found under Ceiling Lamps in the Object by Function, Lighting sort.

  • Round Confection Ceiling Light
  • Square Confection Ceiling Light
  • Campanulate Ceiling Lamp
    • And today I learned that campanulate is a real word…

And then on to what issues did we address…

General Issues

  • Children can now smash a dollhouse that is currently in use by another child…
    • …because frustration is best served shared.
  • Sims will no longer get a whim to get married if they are already married.
    • It’s simple folks, “Happy spouse, happy house.”
  • The Successful Lineage aspiration (within the Family category) will no longer fail to recognize if a child had previously completed the skill and aspiration requirements of the 3rd and 4th step.
    • Getting a child to do “work” once is tough enough, getting them to do it a second time… I’d suggest hitting up the kid exchange for a trade in.
  • Babies will no longer change skin tone when they are picked up.
  • The Georgina Outdoor Lamppost With Double Hanging Planter can now be turned off by the player.
  • Silence phone once again will silence your phone…
    • Um, you still receive the calls, you just won’t hear them.
      • Well, you can hear the call of course, just not the ring, beeping, or musical stylings of Lorde Swift von Iggy-Flay …
        • Of course, I guess you don’t really hear, it’s more of a read…
          • Kind of a one way thing, with a yes no response mechanism.
            • Who invented this type of phone anyway?
          • Along those lines (the texting part)… Children should no longer receive inappropriate text messages from adults.
            • We have fixed various possible ways in which children might receive inappropriate text messages… if you are still seeing this issue, please let us know.
          • The Connections reward trait will no longer prevent your Sim from purchasing career rewards unlocked by career levels earlier than the boosted connections career level.
            • In addition , care was leveled upon the career levels in order to carefully level the rewards in care of the connections.
          • The Cu Cu Cachoo display skull now costs 175 Simoleons.
            • The walrus is not for sale.
          • Performance improvement: Movement level 1 toddlers should no longer contemplate the use of objects on floors they can’t reach.
            • Highly intelligent toddlers may still contemplate their place in the universe.
            • Toddlers with high wisdom may still contemplate their daily movements.
            • High strength toddlers may move in contemplation.
            • Toddlers with unusually high charisma may seek contemplation of others.
            • And highly dexterous toddlers may contemplate how they might also be like Mike.
          • Toddlers will now also visually drink from their sippy cup when seated on the ground.
            • Previously they would only drink it through some sort of liquid teleportation behavior that defies explanation.
          • Fixed a Sim reset issue that could occur when one Sim chose to autonomously tell a story to another Sim.
          • Sims are swimming laps again.
          • Sims with the masculine preference for clothing will no longer randomize into feminine full body swimsuits while in Create a Sim.
          • We fixed an issue that could cause a toddler to inherit the emotional whim of nearby adult Sims after loading into a lot, which could result with the toddler acquiring a flirty emotional whim.
          • Sims facial features should no longer adjust after selecting a different eye color swatch.
            • Blue eyes? Of course sir, let me just push your nose this way a touch. No? Then brown eyes? Yes, wonderful choice sir. Let me just pull your jaw out a bit. No? But sir, no need to raise your voice, you chose brown, not me. If you wanted your jaw to stay chiseled you should have chosen green!
          • Young Adult and Adult lifespans have been increased by 4 days each to accommodate the addition of Toddlers.
          • Industrial Reinforced beams will no longer appear through the ceiling when placed on the floor below.
            • Unless you have a bad contractor… then there’s really only one thing you can do, get yourself a nice MLT.
          • With cheats turned on, you should now be able to modify NPCs in Create a Sim by shift clicking on them and choosing “Modify in CAS”.
            • My town? Hawaiian shirts and bunny slippers!
          • Lights that have had their color and intensity modified, and then set to auto-light, will no longer revert to their default color and intensity setting.
          • You should no longer have to reload your lot or travel in order to get fresh cuttings to properly function from within your inventory.
          • We fixed an issue with how the stats panel appeared…
            • …the stats panel.
              • It’s a button in the upper right of the Simology panel? Shows stats? And stuff…
                • …about your Sim, you, things you may have done…
                  • It’s been there since the very beginning.
                    • Ok trust me, we fixed a visual something or other there. It’s better now.
                  • We have adjusted the hairstyles for our premade Sims (such as the Goths) to not change drastically during outfit changes, where it would not make sense for their hair to change.
                  • PlantSims are now able to sleep in tents.
                    • This issue was fixed for all in tents and per pose.
                  • You should be able to once again share to Twitter from the game.

Vampires

  • Vampire ears on the base form of a Sim will no longer disappear when the Sim enters live mode.
  • Fixed an issue that could prevent a Sim from gaining access to others’ homes when they have the Eternally Welcome vampire power.
    • Eternally Welcome, except this time. And… that other time. Oh, and remember after the house warming party? Yea… definitely not eternally welcome.
  • Sims that have been turned into Vampires should no longer have a non-functional age bar.
  • Toddlers born with vampire parents, will now maintain the eye color they were born with (or that the player had modified them to be) even after loading them into Create a Sim.

City Living

  • A Love Guru from the Romance Festival that is married into a household will no longer remain immortal.
    • I’m reminded of the philosopher Socrates, when after an eventful night of revelry, he said “I married what?”

Vintage Glamour Stuff

  • Light from the Fiery Façade fireplace will no longer shine through the back of the fireplace.
  • Butlers will no longer appear on retail lots when they should be at home… butler’izing.

Asset Issues in Create a Sim

Hey folks, so along the lines of our Create a Stuff Pack program, I’m going to take a moment in this section of issues to provide a little insight into what the issue is, and who on the team might address them, so that you can see a little into how to evaluate an issue.

I’ll start by providing information about what the issue was and what was fixed, and then provide some insight into who would address the issue.

These two issues are considered tagging issues.

  • You can now wear necklaces with yfTop_SP08ShirtButtonOpen.
  • You can now apply a bracelet to your right and left wrist when wearing the level 5 business career outfit yfBody_EF01BusinessSuitMed!
    • Issues like these are fixed by the production team. In both of these cases, an asset was set to restrict the placement of another asset.
    • Production modified the tags, and now these assets no longer restrict placement.

These three issues are considered clipping issues. They generally appear to the player as one asset poking through another asset (and in some cases the character model itself).

  • Fixed a clipping issue with GP01BootFoldover and various pants.
  • ymHair_GP04Slashed will no longer poke through yuHat_GP04Toque.
  • ymShoes_AnkleSquareToe will no longer clip with ymBody_EF04ShirtSkull.
    • These issues are fixed by the art team. And are generally addressed by modifying one of the offending asset’s geometry (moving stuff around), or addressing something like weighting (how an asset lays against other assets).

The highlight issue fixed here, turns out is also a clipping asset issue.

  • Fixed a broken highlight issue that would occur when hovering over yfHair_ShortShave and yfHair_BuzzCutNatural while in Create a Sim.
    • It could be engineering, since highlights are handled by code, however in this case, it was a geometry issue with the hair assets that created the highlight issue.

This is a character layering issue.

  • Female Sims with a masculine frame should no longer have two belly buttons when in Create a Sim.
    • Keeping this short, but Sims have layers (like an Ogre). And if the wrong layer is added to the stack, you get issues like this. This issue is an engineering fix that required a different layer to be used in order to properly create the Sim.

This is a geometry vertex issue.

  • Fixed an issue that could cause some eye presets to stretch the geometry of various hair assets improperly.
    • This issue is addressed by an artist, and in this case was caused by a single vert (the angular point of a polygon) that was being incorrectly shared with a part of the face that caused the hair to stretch.

This is a texture issue.

  • We fixed an issue with a visible seam on the torso of female Sims.
    • This issue is addressed by an artist, and required the artist to modify the texture of the base Sim model. The texture being the paint over that makes a Sim look like a Sim, and not a wire mesh. And the base Sim model being the bare Sim without any assets.

Hope that provided just a little insight into some issues, and who fixes them. I know this focused primarily on asset issues, but I just wanted to dip our toes into the waters of development…

…wow, that sounded really cheesy.

Many apologies, and thanks again for your patience and time!

What do you mean? Do you mean that tiny part of hair on the forehead? It’s a part of turban mesh and has just a swatch of dark hair color and turban, so they won’t fix it for sure.

I think it’s ridiculous. It should show the sim’s hair colour or just shouldn’t show hair at all. It looks weird, especially if your sim has dyed hair cos their eyebrows don’t change with it. It doesn’t make sense to me, and they haven’t said anything about it. If they gave an explanation so I could know why, it would be nice.

That’s not the problem or responsibility of the gurus. People from the community make mods. If you add them to your game and you get bugs, that’s not their fault. The same goes for custom content.

I just updated my game to this patch and it completely messed up my game. I was playing fine yesterday before the game updated itself on origin. Then i let it update and tried to play and now some of my sims’ faces have disappeared, some clothes disappear when i try to dress my sims and i can’t even play because it won’t load any of my households! I have no idea what to do now 🙁 :'(

I’ll start by saying I have purchased every bit of additional content with the exception of Kids Room stuff, The sims spooky stuff, and perfect patio stuff. So the experiences of others may vary. The worst bug that comes to mind is that sims fail to act autonomously consistently. This happens every single time for me when a sim arrives home from work, unless I send them inside manually they’ll just stand there outside until their needs hit a critical threshold. Aside from that there is a flawed “feature” in the game. when you give a sim full autonomy one would expect them to act in full autonomy except when you assign them a task. Many times when I’d set full autonomy and send a sim to do a task they’d cancel the task to go watch TV or browse the internet, when their happiness is in the green. Then there’s the issue with cell phones. It’s bad enough that they are forced on you, but the silencer does not function. I don’t want to receive phone calls and I don’t want to receive texts, just give me a normal alarm clock like in every other sim game, have some other way to choose work from home. Likely at the computer and/or mailbox.

There are also other bugs, such as when I had my vampire sim practice singing for a long time then he went to work, and yet there was still singing where he was practicing. That kinda thing doesn’t bother me even a fraction to the degree that the above things do.

I don’t use autonomy, I haven’t maxed out the business career and I’ve yet to hire a butler, but it’s good to know I’m not the only one experiencing ridiculous bugs. The cell phone in the game is the worst thing they could have possibly added; it wouldn’t be a problem so much if they gave people the option to turn them off and stop them from appearing. The silencer only stops the phone from making noise, it’s useless, I don’t want the calls at all. Make sure you check the EA Sims 4 bug forum to see if anyone else is experiencing bugs that you are, and possibly if there’s a solution to any of your problems. If you can’t see that someone else has experienced any of your problems, file a bug report so that the issue can be known, otherwise nothing will ever change. http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4-Bug-Reports/bd-p/The-Sims-4-Bugs

Alright, I expressed my complaints, but now I want to express my gratitude. Thanks for your work on those problems, the majority didn’t affect me (at least yet), but the laps issue, I wasn’t sure how laps were meant to work in the sims 4, so I couldn’t figure if I was doing something wrong or if it was a bug. So glad that’s fixed, I hope to see some of the issues I’ve listed below resolved. Such as sims standing outside endlessly after work, sims not fixing broken items autonomously, the bugs that occur from having a vampire butler, the executive chair from the business career path (being unable to sit in it, though a mod has addressed this issue) Cell phones being attached to the sims (I know it’s a feature, but it is a very hated feature, in the meantime at least get the silence functioning please), and finally sims being immortal even though you have them trapped in the basement for weeks with nothing to sustain them, well on that note somehow people you invite into your basement and whom you have trapped (for the purpose of draining their blood) will spontaneously teleport from said trapped location when they’re ready to leave. On that note, I try to take care of these cattle, but even though they have a full kitchen, bed, and bathroom they will not take care of their needs.

I’m just upset with this bug that causes your female sims to wear a generic red bra every time they undress, but only after they plan an outfit, you can see it through the mosaic, I tried turning the mosaic off, still nothing. turned off all my CC to, didn’t change a thing, and now I’m hearing this has been a known issue since December. That has to be fixed.

Most of those are known issues. There is a fix to the chair from the business career. It’s a mod made specifically to fix that problem. It’s been around a while and been a known bug for a while.

The update messed up my game too. When I saved a couple of lots to my library, they weren’t there! I lost hours of work on one lot that I demolished thinking it had saved!!!

I just updated my game to this patch and it completely messed up my game. I was playing fine yesterday before the game updated itself on origin. Then i let it update and tried to play and now some of my sims’ faces have disappeared, some clothes disappear when i try to dress my sims and i can’t even play because it won’t load any of my households! I have no idea what to do now 🙁 :'(

I’m just upset with this bug that causes your female sims to wear a generic red bra every time they undress, but only after they plan an outfit, you can see it through the mosaic, I tried turning the mosaic off, still nothing. turned off all my CC to, didn’t change a thing, and now I’m hearing this has been a known issue since December. That has to be fixed.

Another thing is, with the Parenthood pack coming out soon, I really hope highchairs have been fixed.
