The Sims 4 July 31st Update is Here!
UPDATE: 07/31/2018 - PC 1.45.62.1020/ Mac 1.45.62.1220
Hello Summers! Hopefully the weather isnāt too hot in your neck of the woods, because then youād be...Simmers. *cough*
In addition to several fixes and tweaks to improve your game experience, weāve overhauled the Gallery! This is something weāve been working on for a while and is the first step to keep enhancing the Gallery to make it an incredible platform for this community to share its creations.
Read below to find out what we changed with the Gallery as well as various improvements throughout the game.
Our goal with the Gallery is to shift the focus towards the creators making incredible content and make it easier to download the content.
Weāve re-arranged the content images so that you can now Follow the creator, Favorite the content and download the content on the front page.
Weāve moved the Search bar and popular hashtags front and center.
Popular Now is the default filter, which means you should see more fresh, different content.
Weāve renamed and re-arranged the tabs. You now have Gallery, for content, News to find out who is uploading and sharing content, your Profile (with your name), and your Library, to see your downloaded content.
Weāve updated the art and visuals throughout the Gallery.
You can now download and place Lots and Rooms from the Gallery even if you begin in Live mode. Hurray! At last!
Just a reminder in case you havenāt used the Gallery before: The Gallery will not download custom content or mods to your machine. There is a filter to see items created with custom content, but it will not install the custom content for you. So, you can rest assured that items downloaded from the gallery will not break your game.
You can now move Easels into your inventory and Live Drag them, which means you can paint out and about in the world! Be sure to pick up your easel before you leave!
Removed unnecessary āseamsā that appeared when wearing some full body toddler outfits.
Sims should now use the closest counter to prepare Garden Salads of any portion size.
Sims should now use the closest sink to wash dishes.
Sims should now only use a single Kitchen space to prepare a meal, even on Lots with multiple kitchens.
The āAsk About Suspectā interaction is now available during an APB event in the detective career.
You can now select Hot and Cold Weather attire via the Closet.
Sims who belong to an Infamous Club no longer get the Intimidated by Fame moodlet at a gathering.
The temperature in the Kiddie Pool is now consistent with other pools. Sims will get the āUncomfortable Chilledā moodlet but wonāt immediately begin freezing to death.
Vampires are now protected from the Sun when using an umbrella, though it probably gives things away, wouldnāt you say, Vlad?
Decorations no longer clip through the rooftops when viewing a Lot in Free Camera mode.
Electronic objects will now function properly during the rain, assuming they are indoors and beneath a roof.
Sims will no longer freeze to death while playing basketball in cold weather. One could say that as a result of their skillful play, theyāre on fire.
Father Winter has been banned from all Clubs and will no longer appear when adding Sims to a club. Seems Father Winter has been naughty.
Pets will no longer stretch bizarrely while Sims are opening presents.
The Sing Togetherā¦ interaction is now available on the Kinara, Menorah, and Holiday Trees when a Holiday Tradition is active.
The Flower Bunny no longer appears on random holidays and events, which is good, because Flower Bunnying is a full-time job and they were really slacking.
Sims with the Responsible Trait now have their Daily Tasks automatically completed for the Gardening Career. R-E-S-P-O-N-S-I-B-L-E doesnāt quite have the same ring to it. Sorry, Aretha.
Sims who die while skating now die like youād expect them to die. There was some weirdness, but now there isnāt. Just good olā standard death.
Sims were sometimes slipping indoors while walking TO a mud pile, which is silly. They now slip and fall like youād expect.
Sims disturb their bees less frequently. We told them to buzz off.
Plants pollinated by bees will now evolve more quickly, which is how they bee better.
Facial hair now appears while the Hot and Cold Weather filters are active.
Banana, palm, and fern trees no longer drop leaves.
While using the randomize function with a mannequin you can now see Hot and Cold Weather options appear.
We fixed various typos in the Scouting Career. Apparently, our Scouts didnāt earn the spelling merit badgeā¦
Handiness Whims are now completed when Handy Sims work on the Sprinklers and Weather Controller.
Vegetarian safe options purchased from local vendors are now actually vegetarian safe.
Purchasing items from a vendor now contributes to the Jungle Explorer Aspiration progress.
Broken Sparks visual effects now go away once you repair a Hot Tub.
Birds will once again appear when a bird feeder is placed.
The vanity table should now apply makeup appropriately once more.
Clothing should no longer disappear after hung on the Model T Clothesline.
