Hello Simmers!
We hope this Game Update finds you well!
As Summer has ended and the Pumpkin Spice season starts (you all know I’m ready for my pumpkin spiced coffee!), our Art Team has a treat for Simmers that love to build. If you are not an expert builder that is quite alright, I’m not either, but I do enjoy trying a few styles and choices so no worries in that regard.
Thanks again for your continued support, we truly appreciate it!
Chaus!

What’s New?
149 assets – 1,200 vaaariants149 assets – 1,200 variants to enjoy so dear
149 assets – 1,200 vaaariants
How do we tell you about these… easily?
In pictures, in writing, in cups of coffee.
In gameplay, in video, in pictures, in laughter.
In 149 items – 1,200 variants – how do you measure this new thing we did with this in hand?
How about you just show? Yes, how about you just show?
Don’t measure at all, just show.
Our art team took over this Game Update and they have added about 1,200 new variants (yes, you read me correctly, about 1,200 variants) to 149 Base Game items in Build Mode. The Art Team’s vision was to complement and enhance these assets so Simmers have more choices and have more use out of them. Also, why not?
I will list the names of the assets, with images, that we have added variants to. Huge props to SimGuruBeth for providing these fabulous screenshots! In these screenshots you will notice some arrows and green dots, those represent the new additions.
Ok – enough of me rambling about, are you all ready? <takes deep breath>

Bug Fixes
The Sims 4
- Sims living that career lifestyle but their outfits were… not up to par? Were your Sims’ career wardrobe a bit stale as you moved up that career ladder? Not exactly dressing for success, right? No worries, we have fixed that issue and now all career levels should have appropriate outfits. Go you, good luck!
FINALLY DECENT COLOURED CURTAINS. like my god FINALLY
WOW! Holy big update Batman!
They added more basegame outfits, not a word about it in the notes.
I am crying over the Vault kitchen set!! I’ve been waiting for this forever!
Wow! This pleases me.
I Love MORE choices of color & styles in ANYTHING! THANK YOU For Everything You Keep Doing To Make The Game Better!
Only takes them 7 years into the game, Updated Babies should take another decade to finally happens
My game crashes too after this update. Never in my 4 yrs of playing had a ‘start crash’. Did everything by the book to fix, repair not one cc or mod in. Noting. Anybody out there who knows how to fix it, please help me/us. I am a story teller, I need this game to run.
Sims 3 had it right with this kinda stuff…
Loved how you could change everything. Why cant we take the same concept and just add it to the sims 4 ?
Buuuut yaaaaaayyyyy more things !
Why don’t they add a freaking colour wheel once and for all and cut time and costs having to create a ton of swatches for each individual asset? I don’t know it’s really unnecessary in my opinion. I’d rather create a functioning and reliable colour wheel than having to update the swatches every now and then because it lacks a good colour scheme or like someone would say NOTHING MATCHES IN THIS GAME
Seriously. I’ve been thinking this since getting the base game. I feel like it would take less space as well. The color wheel and ability to apply textures to items was one of my favorite things about 3. You could make anything.
Why is all of my CC suddenly not loading into the game????????
