What’s New?
We have added MORE to the Holiday Pack!
In addition to the Holiday content, there are few other new bits…
A female hoodie, sweater, and crop top are new in Create a Sim
Two new recipes for your Sims to cook
Winter Cake
Crown Roast
And the Lin-Z Smart Speaker!
Play music, order a pizza, play trivia, be yelled at… all with the touch of… with
the call of the wild… with just a…
You have to just talk to it. Your Sim talks to It.
Please don’t start talking to your computer.
But if you already do, that’s ok, there’s nothing wrong with that. Just don’t name
your computer Shodan.
Make friends with your new AI overlord and learn its secrets! Or don’t. It’ll
remember
First person camera smoothing updates. We got some feedback about the mode being a
bit sickness-inducing (especially if you watch the announce stream and saw the Sim
on the swing… or the rock clim… ahm, ur okay, I’m… let’s move on).
“Roll” has been disabled in First Person Camera mode when you are using the Sims 4
camera settings (you can find your chosen option in the Camera Controls menu in the
upper right corner of the screen). Roll is essentially side to side movement along
a curve, and the primary motivator of discomfort.
If you are a Sims 3 Camera user, and you want the smoother camera, you can use the
cheat “camera.fpc.simple on” to switch to Sims 4 camera while in First Person
Camera mode. And of course, to turn it off “camera.fpc.simple off”.
In addition players can use the cheat “camera.fpc.smoothing off/low/medium/high” to
fine-tune their experience.
General Issues
The tutorial has been updated with some new tips in order to assist our new players
with the basics of playing The Sims!
Style Influencer stay at home tasks now register as complete, when completed.
You can now hire a gardener if you have plants on your lot for your gardener to
garden, regardless of your garden’s gardening needs.
Previously, if your garden was not in need, you were being incorrectly informed
that you didn’t have a garden.
The brick01GEN wall pattern has a new name.
Teen interaction Mess Around should no longer duplicate itself in the interaction
menu for each target location for said mess around.
Townie Sims are no longer glaring at each other as they pass by on the streets.
Sims have taken social etiquette classes, and now understand that one does not need
to constantly mix drinks when hosting a party.
Does the concept of the entire Sims populace taking classes in social etiquette
give you an Orwellian chill?
The tutorial's chef aspiration no longer starts your Sim with the Snob, Foodie, and
Glutton traits, but instead the Slob, Perfectionist, and Foodie traits.
The former due to a text error.
The later due to the two being incompatible.
First Person Camera will no longer show the inside of the Sim's head when using
Intel Integrated Graphics.
I told my mom that, she called my grandma, and said she was worried about me.
Ceilings should no longer look darkened, but instead lighting should be more
prevalent in comparison to the location of lights in a room.
The Gardener Career now provides raises when the profession is maxed.
The With Pets, Dogs, or Cats Gallery filter now works, and will no longer break
your other filters from functioning.
Z/X and -/+ shortcut keys will now adjust FOV in first person camera mode.
Exiting first person camera will no longer cause a Sims head to become stuck facing
one direction.
Many others however are still stuck facing One Direction.
If you have enough traits to fill the Simology panel beyond the window height
allowed by your monitors resolution, you will no longer find yourself unable to
interact with the Simology panel.
Also, your Sim is amazingly complex.
So, this issue has been addressed (see next bullet). However, the fix is easier to
understand than the issue... but here it is as it was communicated to me:
Visiting a household with locks set using another household, resets the locks on
returning control to the household with the locks
If that was not clear, just go with the fix:
Doors stay locked.
Get Famous
Take Selfie interaction will now help relieve the Separation Anxiety tense buff
that is a result of the Phone Fanatic quirk.
The More Views Video Station can now be cloned with the Eyedropper tool.
In case you wanted more More Views.
Sleeping Pod interaction Less Needy Dreams, has been changed to Social Dreams.
The More Views Video Station memory upgrade tooltip will no longer lie to you.
The Drama King buff received from watching a Sim perform the Perform Dramatic
Monologue interaction will now tell you that it is from watching a Sim perform the
Perform Dramatic Monologue interaction.
Moving an in use Music Production Station will no longer cause the music to become
stuck on.
The Lifestyle Brand interaction now works.
Celebrity Sims set to the normal walk style, should now maintain their walk style
setting.
Married celebrity Sims will no longer react in disgust towards one another.
Unless there is reason to.
Like cutting your toenails in bed.
I mean, who does that?!
Spa Day
Sims giving a hand massage, will no longer contort in an excruciatingly painful
manner during the massage.
Vampires
The Parts to Copy filter, for vampires in Create-a-Sim, should now actually show
what parts you can copy.
Parenthood
REJOICE! Children can once again play on the monkey bars without the compelling
need to halt their monkey bar activities to make a mess. Yes, that’s right Mr. and
Mrs. John Q. Player, children are free! Free to play! Free to climb, swing, and do
whatever it is that children do on the monkey bars. The draw, the compulsion, the
absolute need to end their activity to make a mess has finally come to a close. So
rejoice! And let your kids climb, until they can climb no more.
