The Sims 4: What to Expect with the November Patch

The November patch will bring these three new features to the Base Game.

Sentiment System

A Sentiment is a shared moment between two sims. When interacting with others or doing relevant actions, these events may become a Sentiment. Having an active Sentiment could affect your sim’s effectiveness in further interacting with a particular sim or performing a certain task. Also, Sentiments fade away in time or become stronger by additional actions.  Sentiment can be long-term and short-term. The long-term ones could last up to several sim-weeks.

To access this information, players can open a brand new info-box from the Relationship Panel. The info-box contains the target sim’s complete information—including traits, relationship tags, and Sentiments.

According to the Gurus, one sim can “have four Sentiments at a time.” It is unclear, though, whether that is on a per relationship basis or four Sentiments altogether for one active sim.

Rental Lot Assignment in Residential Worlds

The new Expansion Pack introduces a new World, Mountain Komorebi. It is the first Sims 4 World that is a fusion of both Residential and Destination Worlds. With this world comes the partial unlocking of world designation.  The Rental lot assignment will no longer be confined with Destination worlds after the next patch. This change signifies that when a player places a Rental Lot into one of the Residential Worlds, that world will become an option in which sims can take a vacation. However, the Gurus also clarified that “at this time” Destination Worlds will stay the same—meaning they will remain as non-livable worlds after the next patch.

Half Wall Additions and  Platform Tool

Build Mode will receive additional options when customizing your lot using Half Walls. They have added about 20 new half wall options that will be available with the upcoming patch.

Build Mode will also receive a long-anticipated addition with this patch. Soon, builders will be able to create all shapes and forms of platforms to their hearts’ content.

Platform creation utilizes the room-based logic of Sims 4’s Build Mode and can stack on top of one another. A platform “room” can also be raised (or sank) as tall (low) as one room height. Direct exterior customization is tied to the foundation paint. If players wish to further customize the look, they will have to utilize the Half-Wall Tool to do so.

“BUILD ANYTHING YOU WANT WITH TERRAIN TOOLS!” 

With the November patch, a few of my mods and custom content have broken. Here is a compiled list of mods that are broken, and/or being worked on.

If you find issues with one of my mods or  custom content that is not listed below please report it HERE on my blogspot, or via Tumblr Ask or DM.

Hey guys, I am writing this announcement in order to inform you all that the November update for the Sims 4 will break all Sims 4 mods. This is only limited to script mods. My custom content including traits and careers will be likely to break during this time. EA has decided to upgrade to Python 3.7.0.  I am hopeful that soon after the update I will be able to fix and create new traits for you all.  

Thank you all for your support! Your patience is appreciated.

The patch released yesterday was, perhaps, among those that led to a real change in the game. The terrain tool is the thing that many wanted, including me, and having it is a great satisfaction. Unfortunately, as in every patch, the problems are present, even if this time it did serious damage. The mods went down like sand castles, but we had to wait for that. The thing that shocked me, reading various simblr, is the possibility of not changing the color to the CC hair, eyes or eyebrows. Fortunately, I have only encountered the problem with some eyebrows, but it does not matter. I will simply avoid using them while waiting for a fix. I was wrong to see that the default terrains creates conflict. Going back to see the flat green cartoon style hurts my eyes, but for now, I'll have to make the bitter habit. That said, we come to us. The patch has added, as mentioned above, the terrain tool, the new career of influencers, first person camera and, I think I have also seen a new women's jacket, but maybe I'm wrong. TERRAIN TOOL The real news! I tested it a little because I still have to take my hand. I remember that with the sims 3 it was spectacular to use it. The constrainfloorelevation code was inserted and real works of art were created with the houses. I hope that, soon, it will be possible to do it in the 4. I would like to be able to recreate the wonderful houses I used to do in the old chapter, with the modular stairs inside the house using only the terrain tool. But there is a note that I would like to do. In the previews of Get Famous it seemed to me to see rooms at different heights (split level?) and I hoped they would really put it in, but maybe it was just a mistake. I should find that screen and analyze it well, or I ask the GAME CHARGERS if they know anything about it.

FIRST PERSON CAMERA

I've never loved games in the first person, I have to tell the truth. I have always preferred to play games in which I saw the pg in its entirety and not just its arts. The new function does not excite me. I tried to see how it was, but I'm honest, I was coming to vomit to see the movements. Rest of the idea that the first person camera is suitable for games with the HTC VIVE viewer and not on the sims, unless a version for this type of device is developed in the future. At that point it would be wonderful to play in person. Wear the mask and move in the room as if you were inside the sims' house. The only positive note of the first person room ?! The wicked whims XD

INFLUENCERS CARRER

I assume that I don’t understand anything about influencer, in the sense that I do not understand how a person can push others to follow that particular fashion and get paid for it, but hey, I'm not here to judge who does it, indeed you have all my estimate! Anyway, I had Eliza Pancakes start this career, just to see what it was. I'm still in the running-in phase, so I'll understand something more with time.

BUGS

We overcome the bugs found with the various CC that, unfortunately we know each patch creates damage. I noticed that they finally solved the bug of the time which, in speed 3, came back when returning to normal speed. And this is a great thing. But I found a new one, which perhaps will have happened only to me and, fortunately, only once for now. Eliza, instead of going up the stairs normally, went upstairs diagonally, ending up in a room where there is no staircase, and then going through the walls as if nothing had happened. A thing in full style GHOST, quite disturbing. Other bugs for those who have Laundry Day. Put the basket for the dirty clothes, I have always found them on the ground and, every time, I have to get them to carry the basket manually from my sims. A nice nuisance to find the house invaded by Bob's stinking socks.

THE MONTHLY CHALLENGE

Did any of you try it? I personally not yet, more than anything else because I do not find interest in the challenge.

CONCLUSIONS

Im sitting here at work like

So I have updated the game to see how it will work and to play a bit with some new features. Okay, I played mainly with the first person view :D, I haven’t even touched the terrain tool yet! To be safe I made a new save* and played around with some familiar characters (yup Kendall & Kailani in their old starter house), but I did also use Dana’s house (with a sneak peak of the main bathroom redecorated).

*That new save was a good idea, since the CAS aging bug also occurred in my game.

I haven’t played with the new fashion stylist career either, and I don’t know yet when I’ll fully dive into that one. I’m too busy now (with other stuff) to actually start a new gameplay save and regarding my existing saves: I won’t touch them until the CAS aging bug is fixed. So I just keep to thinking about how to use the new career in my gameplay. :)
