There will be the full notes posted in the announcements section later today but just wanted to bring to your attention that the new 'traits' are in fact new Reward Traits as opposed to new in CAS traits

Seldom Sleepy: Seldom Sleepy sims need less sleep than other sims 4000
Needs No One: Sims that Need No One never need to socialize 5000
Forever Fresh: Forever Fresh sims never need to shower or bath 8000
Forever Full: Forever Full sims never need to eat 10000

Also Never Weary has been un-nerfed and now reads: Never Weary sims never need sleep 10000

Oh, jeepers. I think the alien bloodline in my Rival Dynasties Challenge just got a million times harder. *gulp*

Thanks for this. Just doing a trial run for one of the challenges and thought it had changed. Off to read the rest of the patch notes now

What a horrible patch, and why? this has had so MANY problems, I hate to see what adding the Jungle GP does to this...



just to name few..

[Playalot]

I have to agree, my game has been having so many issues.  I dislike the new voice segments that have been added to the voices too, they clash and don't have the same timbre... sounds awful thorough headphones. I'm not sure if the female voices got any but the males ones aren't good imo.

My Linked image didn't post up earlier, but I was showing some graphical glitches when I zoom out of houses.

[Playalot]

Errr... @Spiderkeys  are you using mods? 

[CuriousSim]

Maybe, a new alien race has landed?

Just wondering, is there a new event in the game? I noticed that I can call Jasmine Holiday now. I haven't seen an in-game event, in a very long time. The only Holiday I've seen, is her sister Summer.

[MrsFlynn]

Yep, there's an event going on -

Sims 4 Boost Week Satisfaction
https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/news/sims-4-boost-week-satisfaction

Saw something about it yesterday. Didn't post about it as it looked like the event was almost over?

[CuriousSim]

Cool!
I have been wondering for a long time, if we'd have events again. It has been a long time, since we got Growfruit seeds, sugar skulls, or were stumped by the stump challenge.

I invited Jasmine to Powerhouse.

Hello

Did someone tried the forever fresh and "dirtying" activities (gardening/fitness)?

I'm trying to figure out if it's worth buying or not.

[CuriousSim]

If you take advantage of boost week, you will get a lot of points, if you complete aspirations. If there are some you'd like to work on, the points will add up fast. It might not be necessary to be as choosy.

Before the patch, I used to be able to drop any files in the Tray while the game was running and import into the game instantly, now I have to restart game to just to see the new files in the tray.

Guess EA didn't want this game to be too flexible...

[MrsFlynn]

I don't know if you're talking about the exact same issue someone on the official forum was asking about - link here though it sounds pretty close. SimQARobo said The Tray folder is not intended to be manipulated with, especially while the game is running.

[Spiderkeys]

Yeah drop files from explorer in your tray folder and thumbnail pops up immediately in your library, grab it, place it, save it, then you delete all those and keep your Tray folder again and keep it empty for optimal performance.

Worked since Day 1
