That fits in with the time frame since the game was made free. Whole bunch of new players download it. Few weeks later bored rigid with it. Best fun they can get is making sims or or lots with rude, insulting names to post on the Gallery. Don't give a shit if it gets them banned as they've lost interest in playing the free game anyway.

Well, at least that's a patch that's unlikely to have massive "my CC and mods broke" repercussions.

How many of the Major bugs have they even bothered to fix this year? participation in the major bugs section is noticeable decreasing, it's all been all talk, talk, talk, with no action, with constants "Needs Saves" and constant garbage like this.

Not one person made comment about the upcoming expansion pack.

I'll share my assumptions. I believe teeth will be the thread that weaves together the “Generations” pack. Why? As we age, our teeth age and change with us, and tooth care is pivotal.

Babies: No Teeth

Toddlers: Growing Teeth/Teething

Child: Loosing Teeth, Tooth “Beary”/Molar Bear

Teens: Braces, Molars

Adult: Attraction (Good Teeth, Bad Teeth, etc.), Dentistry

Elder: Loosing Teeth, Dentures

I would ASSUME not taking care of a Sims’s teeth will result in losing them as an elder, or things may cause teeth to fallout or break, like fights, falls, fails, etc.

If that is the best they can think of, geez. I have no interest in the teeth of my Sims. And I have issues with mine in RL so playing a game about teeth is one of the last things I would want to do.

Never felt like the need for said.mechanics and features in the game Braces, Molars (dunno what it is, but assuming concept like braces?) and Dentures would be great as CAS accessories or what not to pick for your sim. The tooth appearing/"spawning" once a babie turns in toddlers could be a great detail if that isn't a thing. But other than that, I care less about dental gameplay

P.S. Sorry for my bad english.

Molars are the 4 teeth furthest in the back.

And I’m okay with dental gameplay as a detail, not as the pack, as it has direct consequences long term. Same with hygiene and hunger. Teeth really are something that shapes the aging experience - my issue being how small teeth are in game.

“Tooth pack” is a no. Generations gameplay, with teeth features is a yes to me, wrapped up into all of the other features.

For example: A reintroduction of Turn Ons and Turn Offs system from TS2. It would account for various Sim details, including wealth, status, career, skills, etc, as well as teeth.

Make believe and play could be a strong part of the child gameplay, including mythical beings, like the tooth beary. Children loosing teeth is a major of growing up and has never occurred in the game in my experience.

Similarly, elders loosing teeth has never occurred, which could change the dynamics of what they eat. The elder age, like in real life, is the culmination of their choices and experiences. A lack of dental care will see elders unable to eat specific meals without dentures, which cost simoleons.

Owning and visiting a dental office would be different and new, and sims can have lots of work done. Checkups, braces, whitenings, dentures, etc.

Also, people are speculating that due to the location being San Sequoia, they’re believing it’s inspired by San Francisco, and are expecting town homes. Where are my spiral stairs, EA.

Customizable Teeth were added in the Vampires Pre-Patch many years ago. If they ever would waste time and enhance teeth then it will be a another Update/Base Game feature. 2 New EPs on the way, I want to see something Big, not tiny details like teeth.

Bug Fixes
Base Game

Toddlers were all looking a little too similar to each other. Now, they’ll reflect their parents and account for genetics.
Sims will no longer break the space-time continuum by moving when the game is paused.
The Mint Green Belted Cardigan (yfTop_CardiganBelted_SolidGreenMintBlack) no longer makes your Sim look like human spaghetti.
The Open Blazer (yfTop_BlazerOpenCollarTucked) now covers your Sim’s midriff properly.
A Juice Party will now count towards Throw 3 parties in the Party Aspiration.
Objects mounted on walls will no longer be removed when a different wall texture is applied in Build mode.
The Check for Pen Pal Replies option will now display as intended.
The Return from Daycare notification will now only appear once.
Fixed a crash that could happen when entering Live Mode.
The Promise to Help interaction will now trigger in the appropriate situations.
It’s now possible to enable the free build cheat (bb.enablefreebuild) while in the Making Money Scenario. This cheat doesn’t even disable Achievements/Trophies on consoles either.
Removed duplicate Clean up prompts when around two Activity Tables.
When using the Off the Grid filter, objects will display the proper information about what skill they may impact.
Disabling Wants & Fears will now function as intended.
Fixed missing Comfort stats from many Comfort objects and items.
Fixed Public Bathrooms description information stating they’re for Hygiene instead of Bladder.
Sims will be able to use public bathroom stalls. No more holding it until you get home!

Consoles

Adjusting the UI Scale from Game Options > Accessibility while in Create a Sim (CAS) should be more responsive so you can see your adjustments without waiting.
The Show: All Households list in the Manage Households menu can be scrolled meaning you can now see all Households as well.

Bust The Dust

Sniff Sniff Sims will perform the smelling animation the appropriate amount when their environment is dirty. No one likes a dirty litter box!

Get To Work

When your Sim grows up; Alien nose, chin, and eye width will carry over.
A respectful introduction will now fulfill the Greet Co-workers/Patients task as a part of the Doctor Career.

Seasons

Sims won't freeze to death in the Summer when interacting with sprinklers. Someone must’ve forgotten to turn the air conditioner off… we’ll be sure to hand out blankets next time!
Sims are now able to properly schedule holidays when they have a teen in the house. Scheduling family trips is already hard enough!

Snowy Escape

Work Withdrawals are now removed when working during their off hours.

My Wedding Stories

Your Sims will no longer talk about planning their wedding ceremony after they are married.

Werewolves

Werewolves are now able to change their fur in CAS mode. Furtastic!

People have argued for years that TS4 is different. Not the word I would use, but sure...it's something.

Well, on contrary (not to excuse this glitch, Sims did sniff their bad surroundings. Not sure if it applied to someone left urine-puddle, but they did found trash reek. What's wrong with TS4 as far as I heard, Skm actually receive a POSITIVE moodlet how their pee smells GOOD I feel like the part about TS4 having Weirder Stories slogan is true - Sims in TS4 are into weird NSFW type of k...nks/f...tish..s At times, if's very lewd medium whats seen by most as a family friendly game

Oh, de javu much? Couldn't it be that Dust-whatever kit demons (bugs) seem to resurfacing its ugly face from its similar form before.

"Disabling Wants & Fears will now function as intended."

So who's going to trust Maxis on this fix? Because not only did the original version not work, but it could break the lot you were playing when you first deactivated the annoying crap. If you are going to trust Maxis fixed this, then play a lot, family, you don't care so much about when you select option to deactivate the annoyance. Just to be on the safe side.

"Fixed a crash that could happen when entering Live Mode."

Gotta love the helpful detail there.

"Sims will no longer break the space-time continuum by moving when the game is paused."

I kinda liked the way their heads would still turn in slow motion while game is paused. However, since latest patch my game has twice frozen up, a crash, where all sims are still doing animations they were engaged in, but player cannot select any sim on lot. Game has to be ended via Task Manager. Maxis fixeth, and Maxis breaketh away. Deary, deary, Hot Fix needed methinks. Why am I not surprised.

Not expansion pack related (because all the base game threas had been taken down ), but don't you just love comments like this that would take a piss and excuse the sloppy behavior of maxis how said glitches are even ok and not concern about it at all? What part of young child being groomed is ok? Don't care if it's creative medium or digital form. The content is said disturbing it exists. Even in dark humor.

This is the first time I've ever strayed over here from the Sims 2 forum, but I thought that Sims 4 players should know that there's an article about an upcoming change to the pixels, which was news in no less than the Daily Beast (well-known Internet magazine)

https://www.thedailybeast.com/sims-...clusive-options

Also Kotaku notes that as usual, there are bugs in the update..

https://kotaku.com/sims-4-update-co...gery-1850056313

I don't know why everyone thinks that having hearing aids should be an option.

I've lived with them for over 50 years and they're just as annoying as they ever were.

I think people really don't know how it is to be deaf-or how people who are live.

Plus, babies are planned!

Because people with diabetes, deafness, and who are trans wants to feel seen and represented. I’m not deaf and I think this update is wonderful because the game is a step closer to representing life and it makes people happy. Little things matter.

Also, the EP description leaked and the pack sounds underwhelming (it lists a feature twice), but:
Slumber Parties
Mid Life Crisis
Self Discovery
Deeper Relationships
Chemistry/Preferences

Additionally, bird watching, fitness activities (?), kids on bikes, and a baby harness.

The preorder bonus is an extra baby carrier, a toddler slide, and a swing.

Edit:
Oh god we have two GT packs…

What with this brand new head accessory slot, Medical Wearable? It's a new catagory in CAS, yet I kind-of not see the point, they just function like "Earrings" so you can't wear both. Only this is the only hint for an upcoming pack?

Info for Sims 4 update that came out 1-31-2023:

Patch Notes
Update 01/31/2023

More fixes, more new content and more console

Update 01/31/2023

PC: 1.95.207.1030 / Mac: 1.95.207.1230

Console: Version: 1.69

Hello Simmers

Following hot on the heels of the last update we have another one for you, this time we are putting a bit of a focus on the console version of The Sims 4, streamlining some key interfaces for easier controller interaction. While you can use a mouse and keyboard on both PlayStation and Xbox versions of The Sims 4, most console Simmers love to sit back with a controller; these updates are a small part of a larger ongoing focus to improve the console experience for all.

We also continue to invite all console Simmers to give us your thoughts and feedback on playing The Sims 4 on PlayStation and Xbox (especially with a controller) over on Answers HQ, where we have had some excellent feedback so far that the team is reviewing.

Not playing on console? No problem, we have some new content and fixes for everyone in this update as well. So let's kick things off and see what's new.

-The Sims Team
What's New?

We have so much new stuff with this release and we can’t wait to dive in and tell you all about it. We do want to make a quick note that while we have added quite a few new assets, these are purely visual and don’t add new gameplay functionality. Now, let’s get to the good stuff.

Medical Wearables

There’s a new Medical Wearables category under Body and Face Accessories in Create a Sim.

Select the Sims face and then select Accessories to find the Medical Wearables category that contains a new hearing aid for your Toddler or older Sims. This medical wearable comes in fifteen color variants, and can be assigned to your Sims right, left or both ears.

The Medical Wearables category can also be found by selecting the Sims body and then selecting the Body category. Here you can find Glucose Monitors for your Child and older Sims that can be added to your Sims right and left arm, and to your Sims lower abdomen on the right or left side as well.

Top Surgery Scar

Under the same Body category, all players can find a Body Scars category with an option for Teen and older male Sims (masculine or feminine frame) to add a Top Surgery Scar to their Sims.

Binders and Shapewear

With this update, players can find two new assets in Create a Sim. Under the Tanks, in the Tops category, you will find a Binder top asset for your Teen and older Sims. In the Underwear category for Bottoms, there is a new shapewear asset for your Sims as well!

Let there be Light Switches!

For our builders who have long desired to complete that perfect room, a new light switch is now available in Build Mode!


null

UI Placement comes to PlayStation

Previously, The Sims 4 on PlayStation required Simmers to calibrate their screen settings at a system level by going to the consoles Settings > Sound and Screen > Display Area Settings and configuring the display.

This option will continue to work but now, PlayStation Simmers will be able to adjust the UI placement. The wizard will run during the initial launch of The Sims 4 or can be manually initiated from Game Options > Other .

We still recommend you calibrate your Display Area Settings through your PlayStation settings.

Cursor Scaling

Simmers can now adjust the size of the cursor on both PlayStation and Xbox when displayed in virtual cursor mode on your controller, or while you are using a mouse and keyboard to play.

This additional level of customization allows you to have a larger cursor without needing to scale up all of the game UI. This should make it easier to see even when you’re kicking back, relaxing in your favorite seat looking at the TV screen across the room.

You can adjust the cursor size in game by going to Game Options > Accessibility.

Console Build Mode Improvements

Jumping into Build Mode will feel a little different… well OK, a lot different. Now the Catalog is opened by default and STAYS open as you grab items and interact with the lot. You no longer need to reopen the Catalog and re-navigate to the menu you were in every. single. time.

Regardless of which cursor mode you're in, you can seamlessly interact with either the Catalog or lot, which aligns our console experience more closely to that on PC.

Console Build Mode Guidance System

If you are a new player or have the Guidance System enabled, the help you received from Emily in CAS and Live Mode will continue through to Build Mode. If you aren’t familiar with building, using the tools, or how to find the right looking object and place it exactly where you want it, Emily will be there to guide you around Build Mode to help you unleash your creativity.

Controls and Navigation Updates

While we have kept the ability to toggle control methods by tapping the Touch Pad on PlayStation or View button on Xbox, we have reduced the amount of times we switch between the two modes automatically.

Since we are talking about toggling the control methods, if you have the Controls Legend enabled in Game Options > Other, we now show a prompt for Toggle Cursor at the top. Not only that, next to the prompt is a little reminder of which control scheme you are currently using.

We have also added controller shortcuts to some dialogs and screens to help simplify and speed up navigating the game. These button prompts are displayed on supported screens and can be used where usually you would have a lot of scrolling to get to the Confirm or Cancel button.
Bug Fixes
Base Game

Toddlers can do strange things sometimes, but bathing with their slippers on shouldn’t be one. Now their feet will get clean, just like the rest of them.
The Venue Info icon in the top left of your screen contains a lot of useful information but it doesn’t mean it should always display as new. Now the icon flair will only show when something is actually new.
Sims made through CAS Stories with Starting Funds 'High' should now get 30k Simoelons instead of the standard 20k for their household fund.
Sims love a good makeover, but when switching Styled Looks in CAS it's taking it a bit far your Sim’s appearance changes, not just their outfits. Styled Looks will now update just the outfit your Sim is wearing and not make them a totally different Sim.
When adjusting the physical frame of your Sim while using Bantu Knots (yfHair_SDX019BantuKnots) or Two Strand Twist (ymHair_SDX019TwoStrandTwists) hairstyles, you will continue to see the Plumbob icon on the thumbnail as a reminder of the fantastic collaboration we did with DeeSims to bring those styles to everyone.
The goals during the Parenting Predicaments scenario will reflect a child Sim aging up to a teen after blowing out the birthday candles and progressing the scenario.
Child Sims getting at least a B grade average at school will be recognized for their achievements by progressing the Parenting Predicaments scenario objectives.
If your Sims reach level 5 in one of Sofia and Leonardo's skills before the goal activates in the Parenting Predicaments scenario, it’ll be accurately marked as meeting the criteria.
Also related - teenagers have aspirations (apparently waking up before noon doesn’t count) but in the Parenting Predicaments scenario teens are able to complete the teenage aspirations goal.
Some say it's a conspiracy, some say the aliens got fed up with the parents and just sent them home, others just think it was a bug. Either way, parents should no longer return midway through the Aliens Stole My Parents scenario when traveling off the lot and back again.
Stuck in the Shadow wasn’t intended to actually get you stuck…. Completing the Scenario should now complete once the goals have been achieved.
Emily likes to help Simmers get a head start, but it seems she was a little too eager and prevented Scenario goals from displaying in CAS if she hadn’t been seen previously. Now if you haven’t seen Emily yet, and start a new Scenario you will have your goals displayed so you can create the perfect household to take on the challenges ahead. Emily will be there if you need her later.
Seasoned Simmers who don’t need Emily’s help and choose to disable the Guidance System, in the Game Options, while in CAS will no longer run into an issue where you cannot create a Sim due to the options being inaccessible.
Merging Sims from the Gallery while Emily was guiding you through CAS will no longer prevent Emily from explaining the final parts of the CAS Guidance System.
Entering CAS from the Simology option will not prevent you from creating a Sim Story.
While using the Guidance System to customize your own Sim, Add New Sim will not be available until you have completed your Sim customization tutorial or opted out of the tips.
Some tips in Build Mode prevented you from accessing features like Bulldoze and Save to My Library; all the options are selectable again.
Sims with customized frames should have a full set of fingernails to pick from, including those from packs.

City Living

Being an Interior Decorator can be tough, it's made even more difficult if you can’t get in. Sims picking up a gig at a penthouse will now be able to knock on the door and get in to work their style magic.
If there is one main thing you would expect Illuminating Pillars to do, it's illuminate! Well we changed some bulbs, got shocked once or twice, checked the wiring and now they should be good to go.

Get Famous

After our previous update which brought a new look to Lessons and a bigger, easier to read layout, it unexpectedly caused long Lesson titles to extend beyond the boundaries of the box in some languages. The titles should now all fit in their designated spaces and be fully readable by all.

Eco Lifestyle

The Perfect Plumbob Ceiling Fan, Sandstorm Ceiling Fan, Dizzy Palms Ceiling Fan now all come with a power consumption rating.

High School Years

Sims wearing the yfAcc_NecklaceEP12Beaded_SolidRainbowLt necklace should no longer see it floating near them when zooming the camera. We must have forgotten to remove the levitation enchantment, sorry about that!

Paranormal

Sims making a living as a Paranormal Investigator and autonomously visiting San Myshuno often found that doors were missing from apartments unless you were in Walls Up view. Doors should now show up as expected. But are they really there? Someone should investigate! Spoooooky!

Bust The Dust

Dust and Dust Bunnies will show up after a reload, now where did I put that Dust Dandy Cordless Vacuum?

Outdoor Retreat

We learned a lesson and that lesson is that our lessons should have Titles. Outdoor Retreat should show up under Lessons as expected and no longer be a mystery category.
