The "big" surprise (read it on someone's social media while at work) is the ability to select occult after you already created the sims. Meh? Well, it's something, should have been added to the game a time ago. Can't be sure, but coming from EA... makes sense. Thanks for the info!

[FireFlysNeverDie]

You deserve more views. Thanks for the breakdown!

Since their last update, Fishing in Sulani is not possible any more.. they just will not fish anywhere in Sulani.. and I pulled all mods, started a new game, and repaired the game, will not work.. and I seen others had the same problem at HQ..

[Al-nydr]

Nice video. Perhaps they will start fixing the game properly. I enjoy Sims 4, but some of the bugs are very immersion breaking.

[xxmilannathanxx]

Why would they add new colors to build mode items in september if they were planning a colourwheel with the update. That does not make any sense. So it certainly is NOT a colourwheel. Just doesn't add up.

[victorious]

Thank you for this informative video. And im having a glitch in city living the romance festival has been in my game every day. It doesn't go away hope they fix that soon.

[CC-kuqy]

As always, thank you so much for the heads up!

[teresaprenzler]

Thanks for the update! I always enjoy listening to those! I can’t remember whether they were going to fix the knitting issue in one of the Laundry lists, but I hope they do! I had no idea about not being able to fish in Sulani as someone mentioned above, that’s weird, although there are still a lot of issues with the Sims 4, sounds like they’re really trying to fix the issues though.

[Anya-bs]

Thanks for the info. I’ve been playing offline since the reaper rewards thing invaded my game, so I’ll continue to do so for the foreseeable future. These updates and the new pack are almost guaranteed to be game-breaking again.

They have hinted strongly about ghosts being more customisable in CAS. I think it could be the feature that they decided to bring to base game. That way they give base game players something new and get to release one of the big changes ahead of the pack so that any issues can be ironed out and not spoil the pack release. Just a guess. It would be a cool update.

[louccharl]

Update alert! Thanks for the video Jen, excited/nervous for the next week 😂

[tonyregan]

Thanks for the update. CAS Could be ghosts or more columns, but which ever way it goes; this must be a big game changing expansion, and I think EA are expecting problems.

[hillyplays]

Thank you for these update videos, Jennifer! I really hope they fix dating in the game because ever since I got Lovestruck my sims can't take their dates to a restaurant unless I cancel the date, which is kind of pointless. So I stopped adding restaurants to my saves.
Edit: My birthday is on Patch Day. Ugh.

My assumption is that deaths in general will work different from now on, you just get the fluff around it in the payed contend like with children. My hope is that there are big changes to aspirations and the bucket list again ist just fluff around it. Most aspirations kinda just are tutorials and they don’t seem to affect the sims actions match. In past sims games these goals autonomously made them do things that fit and work towards the life goals they had. That would be a dream for me as a simulation player and hopefully make the different generations in my family seem different. Sims 4 just feels so much like a cas and build mode game, the life sim part never caught up to 2 and 3 imo.

[HowDareYou_IamAGoose]

What amazing CAS feature/update they got for us? Zombie occult. Impossible. Preposterous. Doubt it. Pre-teens life state or just slightly shorter (and younger looking teens)? Probably not. Just integrated in CAS ghost occult? Yeah, fitting, maybe. How about, BRAND NEW Grim tattoos made by your popular random youtuber?!! OMG! For sure that's the "exiting" one... Their way to handle thing is weird.

[rosameryrojas-delcerro]

Yeah, I don't use mods and am still stuck at the planting the snap/lillies not saying it has completed and now Grim is there but no UI boxes etc no matter what I do. If grim wasn't there I would ignore the whole thing but there is no way to opt out of this FOMO nonsense either.

[phyrephoenix]

Thanx for the video. Doesn’t sound asif we are getting graveyards as a base game update😢 but looking forward to finding out what we do get. 😊

[wickywickyjoka]

The Cas update is going to be the ability to create and edit ghost sims without having to use workarounds to do so.

[Yulxmushroomsupremacy]

I will have to stop playing with my mermaid sim then (I play on short life span ) and I NEED the new tombstone ! 😅

[exploatores]

I think I am going to make a update for the entire game. I got a external SSD for things like that.
