There's new cross pack functionality and autonomy that the Patch Notes forgot to mention!
The Sims Team has quietly added new activities and improvements to activities with the latest Sims 4 Patch. Adding new interactions, functionality and autonomy across Clubs System for Get Together, Small Businesses in Businesses & Hobbies and Custom Venues with Adventure Awaits!
The latest additions haven't been uncovered in the Patch notes. In fact, they have been discovered by modder @lunar_britney, who also got a chance to open the game files and discover all the new Sim behaviors with this update.

New Cross Pack Functionality with The Sims 4 Activities
Creator @lunar_britney reports new The Sims 4 activities and interactions / autonomy for activities being added with the latest Game Patch. Specifying new activities such as Taking Photos, Care for Small Pets, Research Romance and even Hold Lecture, which has been unlocked for Custom Venues and Small Businesses.
Unfortunately for players who have been looking forward to Sims holding lectures autonomously - the feature is not working as intended. Player sunshinestation1 reports that the Hold Lecture Custom Activity only works if there's a getaway planned in the game. And not properly for a standalone Custom Venue visitation. You can't pick what lectures they can do on the board either - they've stated. 38 players have already upvoted this issue!
The new 1.121.340 patch added Hold Lecture for getaways, but the issue is that they only work autonomously if there's a getaway. Custom Venues alone don't function on sims with that role. You can't pick what lectures they can do on the board either (make the existing locker available on any lot as a fix).
All New Activity Additions and Improvements in The Sims 4
While we wait for Hold Lecture Activity to be addressed by The Sims Team and fixed, you can enjoy some other activity additions and improvements added with the latest Game Patch. Here's a complete summary of everything new extracted by modder @lunar_britney!

Czekam na to by czarodzieje mogli zmieniać pogodę za pomocą magii oraz na zawód ceremoniarza/mędrca aby miał on możliwość przewodniczenia ślubom czy np. koronacji.
Honestly wild how much this patch quietly improved everyday gameplay—half of these autonomy tweaks fix long-standing annoyances, so it feels like the game suddenly got smarter without telling anyone.
The new Sims 4 patch sounds exciting! I’m most interested in the small business features – running my own shop in-game will be so much fun. Thanks for sharing about these new activities!
