1.31 Update

[mandamouse123]

I had already set my page to private, but if you haven't it will be going out to any friends you have and then, I think, onto their friends.

Ooh!  I see what you mean.  Most people probably never set it to private originally, because before the patch, it never really caused spam!

It's probably a good thing then, that I don't have friends (on the sims 3!).  Test driving the patch wouldn't have been half the fun if I knew I was being annoying!

No need to fear kids. Successful installing.

The social popup in the right corner gets annoying. The one where you can send a post on your Sims Website wall...

Do we get the option to turn it off?

I have 10 Badges already. I'm waiting to get my unlocked rewards now that I got 10.

I am however excited that all Sims can learn veggie alternatives, so I'm continuing to scrap the veggie trait. At this rate, I'll just have my Simself and other Sims that I want to be veggie, just have a favorite veggie food, and only cook veggie dishes, and just call them veggie. 1.31 proves veggie trait is unnecessary.

I think if you go to the options menu you can turn off notifications or log out all together. I just played after the patch and didn't have a problem with annoying pop ups.

I updated and launched my game.  Everything is fine so far.

@sdhoey:  What's that link in your signature?  Did we talk about that already or am I thinking of someone else?

I think if you log out, the notification will go away. But I can't figure out how to turn it off in game while still logged in. I assume we're talking about the thing that has your official site avatar and it says like "Write your post here" or something along those lines. You can hide it like other notifications, but there's no x to close it.

Oh, that's why I couldn't find it on the sims site. Hmm.. Again, I think I'll wait to find out more before updating..

[Korva]

Thanks for the SimsVIP link. I update manually since I like the additional bit of control and refuse to install Origin, so I didn't know about the patch. I think I'll hold off a bit to see what people say about patch problems, but one new feature is very tempting: customizing career outfits. Has anyone used that yet? One reason why I prefer self-employed Sims is the fact that I can't stand most work clothes -- skirts and heels wherever you go, ugh. If I can actually put some decent shoes and pants on the female Sims instead now, I'll be happy!

I made the mistake of downloading the patch and them my sims got stuck  in China. Everytime they used the phone to return home, the action cancelled. It's as if they had become permanent residents of China. So I lost all that was accomplished in China, because I had to exit without saving.

I'm waiting a day or two to download the patch.  Not because I'm scared of the patch...I just want to wait for my mods to get updated.    Good thing I skip the whole launcher business to start my game...

I'm actually looking forward to using some of the social features, so I hope you all don't decide to be hermits. 

I too am waiting for mod updates. Has Overwatch been updated yet? I'll go check... Oh, and I won't be a hermit!

Pam> That comes from Tapatalk app. I never know when it's being put in there. I use it on my cellphone. I'm gonna read more about it and how to shut it off. It annoys me

You can go into options and turn everything off.
