The Sims celebrates 17 years today and there’s a couple new changes to the game. The first thing you’ll notice in this update is the big play button now on the top left. Right underneath, there’s the option to start a new game or load an old one. Underneath that, you’ll see a brand new section called ‘Your Collection.’ That’s a list of all the DLC’s you own. Click on each to see more information. Access the gallery and settings menu on the top left.
Pretty simple and intuitive changes to the menu, but there are some major general fixes the Sims team has included in this update. Check out the patch notes below and make sure to grab the 17th Anniversary T-shirt in CAS.
General
We addressed an issue that could cause the baby to disappear upon age up.
While this is joyous news for parents everywhere, this does pose a significant population issue in Neverland. And we can only wait out the potential pirate to lost boy gap, as it draws ever closer in the favor of the pirates.
We addressed an issue that could result in toddlers being placed down through a wall, and outside of their home, if carried to use an object that was against an outer wall.
Ask any parent, and they will tell you “Of course toddlers are magical!” Ask them again to place their toddlers through a wall, and they will yell at your ridiculous suggestion.
It’s a two-faced world folks, and we’re just living in it.
Addressed an issue that could cause a toddler to become stuck next to an elevator upon loading the lot.
This fix will address future occurrences, however, to correct the issue in an already saved game, travel to another lot with the toddler and return.
We addressed an out of sync voice and animation issue that was causing our Sims to be ever so slightly off.
Had that early film feel, except without the cool fighting, or person in rubber monster suit scenes.
Outdoor Retreat
Rental Lots can now have their lot type changed, and are no longer locked in Granite Falls.
Get Together
- Club perks and points will no longer reset after loading into an unowned lot and then returning.
