The Sims 4: New Update + Patch Notes (June 23rd, 2016)

ts4e3logo

The Sims Team has released a brand new Update for The Sims 4! Not only are they fixing some of the game bugs, but they’re also introducing a new ‘Monster under the Bed’ feature!

To download the latest version of The Sims 4, simply open your Origin program and if the game doesn’t update automatically, right click on The Sims 4 and select ”Update”.

In case you have Mods or Custom Content, the game will automatically disable them for you after first launching The Sims 4 after the update. To re-enable all your Mods and Custom Content, select the Settings option in the Menu and select Settings. Under the”Other” section you’ll find the ”Enable Custom Content and Mods” option. Check it and restart your game in order for it to take effect!

Patch Notes

Update: 06/23/2016 – PC Version 1.20.60.1020 / Mac Version 1.20.60.1220

How do Simmers!

Just about the end of June… Summer is in full swing… what better time than now for a release?!

What’s New?

Did you see something? Over there… peeking out from under the bed. Not if you aren’t a kid!

Children however might find themselves awakened at night to the eerie sounds of a monster lurking beneath their bed. Fear not brave ones, a quick spray of monster repellent will get the pesky critter to creep away (you can also pre-spray like any properly working repellent).

But… why be afraid, when you can be friends! Children can spend a little time trying to get to know the bed bound beastie, and maybe make a new friend.

Of course, perhaps you just don’t want your kiddies to worry. Place “Coolala, The Defender Wall Light” to keep the monster at bay, and sleep tight, have a good night…. and know that the Monster Under the Bed is afraid of sunlight.

General Issues…

  • We fixed an issue that left our elders looking a bit more daw… er…ly morning of the dead than we wanted them to be… their age lines were quite pronounced. Elders should look less zombie and more walking alive.
  • The Days Until Age Up information in the Simology panel will now display no matter where you hover over the age bar.
    • Left side… right side… slightly off center… the Sims’ days are always numbered.
      • Do you think the Sim knows about their age countdown?
        • Do you think it’s Logans Run’esque, Terminator 2’ish, or maybe Paycheck’ian…
          • …not that anyone should reference Paycheck. But you know what, I liked Paycheck. There, I said it, and now you know.
        • “Eat” will no longer be called “Eat and Learn Experimental Food” on foods that are not experimental foods.
          • Also… quotations used “incorrectly” have been known to cause “confusion” and lead to the belief that “what the writer is writing” is intended sarcastically.
        • We fixed an issue with some assets that were incorrectly tagged as masculine or feminine, or that had their tags forgotten altogether. Specifically:
          • ymhair_Sp05LongFront is now tagged as masculine
          • ymTop_SP05Basic is now tagged as masculine
          • yfAcc_EarScoop is now tagged as feminine
          • yfBottom_EF10SwimBikiniMetalFront is now tagged as feminine
        • We fixed an issue that prevented Sims from being able to hire a mixologist to tend bar.
          • They are back, they are mixing…
          • …‘ologist’ refers to a person who studies or has knowledge of a particular kind of science.
            • And as much as I hoped… a tribologist does not actually study tribbles.

Spa Day…

  • Mud bathing Sims will no longer appear with random face paints.

Dine Out…

  • The hair ym_GP03SlickBackWavy will no longer have a bald spot on the back.
    • Implants are complete, all hair is 100% natural… no chemicals or artificial sweeteners have been added.
  • Net profit information will no longer improperly display when opening the View Last Finances report in your restaurant menu.
    • We fixed an issue that was causing the totals to add incorrectly each time the dialog was viewed.
  • We addressed an issue (Hello issue) that could cause restaurant advertising to have little or no effect upon the number of customers that would come to visit your establishment.

Get to Work…

  • We fixed an interface issue that made it appear retail stores would remain open when the Sim left the lot.
  • Patients should no longer reset when their doctor attempts to examine them or take their temperature.

Thank you again for your feedback, support, and issue reports – all of which keeps us moving along!

The Sims Blog: There’s a Monster Under Your Bed in The Sims 4! No, Really!

After today’s Update to The Sims 4, don’t be surprised if you see something a little… monstrous… peeking out from under the bed. See, after we got the patch together, we started hearing that children from all over have reportedly been awoken at night to the eerie sounds of a monster lurking beneath their bed.

Parents claim they have no idea what their little ones are talking about, but have taken to humoring them by spraying a “monster repellent” around the bed. This apparently has done remarkably well at getting tentacled things to go away and keeping creepy things in check!

TS4_MonsterBed

“It’s true,” say the youngsters! “Some sort of unspeakable monster of unspeakableness has been seen skulking beneath our beds!” Apparently the beguiling behemoth is only visible at night, and only to children. The frightened youth however are more than willing to fetch the nearest household member to help with their monster predicament.

However, some tenacious tykes have instead attempted to communicate with the slithering disturber of slumbers. Going the route of befriending the lurking leviathan with a kind word or two. Perhaps though, your budding offspring are not the “step into the belly of the beast” types… then your little sprout should plop the “Coolala, The Defender Wall Light” upon their walls, guaranteed to keep the ghoulish ghoulie away better than any apple!

So sleep tight… good night…. and know that the Monster Under the Bed is afraid of sunlight.

THE SIMS 4 SUMMER LOOKBOOK

I wanted to showcase more custom content in the Sims 4 community – so what better way than to showcase the Create-A-Sim custom content than in a lookbook celebrating summer time (yes, I know it doesn’t appear traditionally ‘summer-y’, however, summer is all about interesting shapes and looking effortless, plus I guess the flower print can be attributed to summer).

Salem2342 has the most custom content items in the lookbook (only two though!), however, I tried to stay away from my ‘old favourites’ and explore what the simming community offers in the way of custom content to showcase simmers and creators who might not have as much credit as they deserve.

Download links are below the images.

The Sims 4 Kids Room Stuff coming June 28th! (Blog Post)

The Sims Team has just announced the 7th Stuff Pack for The Sims 4 – Kids Room Stuff!

Check out more information about this Stuff Pack from the latest blog post:

Childish Sims and Simmers rejoice; The Sims 4 Kids Room Stuff* is arriving on June 28th, and it’s all about giving those little rascals more to occupy their time.

A child Sim can put on a performance in the Puppet Theater to help with their social development, they can stoke their competitive fire by challenging their friends at the Voidcritter Battle Station, and they can go out exploring in the world to discover and acquire the new Voidcritter collection.

SP7_Vid_Thmbnl

…hold on a second, a Void-what? Voidcritters! As the story goes, these cute and occasionally ferocious monsters are mysteriously appearing in your Sims’ world, and it’s up to the children in your family to capture, collect, trade, and train them. Voidcritters are a brand new collection of twenty collectible (duh!) cards, which can be battled against each other in the Voidcritter Battle Station. Each competitor inserts their critter’s card into this electronic arena, and the digital screen springs to life as kids attempt to button mash their way to victory while the battle unfolds. This collectible card game is unlike anything you’ve ever seen in The Sims before.

Children will also find the Puppet Theater waiting for them when looking for an amicable social undertaking. In another first for the franchise, friends and family will gather around as your child Sim puts on the performance of their lifetime. When the curtain rises, a variety of stories can unfold… will two friends lost in the woods make it back to safety? Will a monster with razor sharp teeth find living arrangements in a suburban family’s home? Will the dastardly deviant that stole a notebook be brought to justice by the school’s private eye? Five plays in total are unlocked as a child raises their social skill, and each one is positively adorable to watch as it’s acted out.

TS4_SP7_Screenshot_1

To complete the experience, we imagine you’ll want to do some renovations to your kid’s rooms, as well as a wardrobe overhaul to set the right tone. You’ll find that objects are aged up in style from the primary shapes and colors that adorn the existing kid’s furniture; the content in this stuff pack helps children start to define their own space. Clothing is similarly expressive and unique, with patterns, logos, colors, and fashions that help tell the world who they are and what they like. Finally, what better way for kids to pass idle time in their room than listening to the new Tween Pop radio station, or watching the new BEtween TV channel.

For the young Sims in the game, or those Simmers who are just young at heart, there’s plenty in The Sims 4 Kids Room Stuff to put a smile on your face when it launches this June 28th.
