So many of my sims gave their lives due to this lil problem. I load a game, get distracted and come back to a dead household. *Sigh* And for a while I thought I was just going senile and forgetting to pause, this whole time it really wasn't me!

THIS UPDATE IS *SimGuruRyan Moment Ahead* AWESOME!!!

-The standing seam roof has returned. ^_^
-The modular Arch Actually snaps into place. I'm curious to see what they'll do with something like this in ITF.
-There's more terrain paint from other worlds, from Aurora Skies and Monte Vista
-Patterns:
-----2 Geometric
-----2 or 3 Themed
-----2 Wood Floors
-----1 Tile (The Spanish Roof Tiles that I thought would have never made made it in)
-----1 Masonry

The Ambitions counters are now 170 simoleons. Now, My cheap houses don't have to looks like a country manor all the time. Thanks Graham.

I'm still digging. Also, I can't get the New Foundation slider thing to work. At all.

Now I have PEPS to get the patch. Guess I will start playing and graduate my sims. I am so "stoked"! Thanks for the report!

OMG! OMG! OMG! There's a really nice bed waiting for you all in buydebug. I wont spoil that one for anyone. Please, post no pictures or descriptions (today), just reactions. :p

That must be the Easter Egg Graham and Mike were talking about. I bet it's a clam bed. I am ready to forget about my sims and start off a new set of sims.

Matrix I LOVE THAT BED!!!!!!

I really wish I could retrieve all the updated resources in the GameplayData.package, but I couldn't patch until all my mods are updated.

YOU CAN FINALLY MOVE TO A NEW TOWN

I'll accept payment in the form of an Island Paradise preorder.




We wouldn't usually list something like that in the patch notes. There are lots of minor tweaks that get changed that never get called out

OMG! Grahams here! LOL.

Hey Graham. *wave*

OMG ! Ladders! (no, don't patch yet, mods need updating first) BUT, But, you can center lot placement now! ( NO, just..WAIT) LOTS PLACED ON WATER!!!! (NO, dammit, just WAIT! Put the mouse down and back away slowly.)

I understand completely! I would do it this minute if I weren't so worried about CAW being messed up somehow. *sniff*

Just Go For It Peeps I Did!!!!
Forget that...
I've already got a problem

Wow. From what I'm reading, a lot of stuff that actually matters got cleaned up with this patch. Thank you, Graham! And I hate to do this to you, but it looks like the future success of TS4 will now fall on your shoulders as you move over to that project. Don't feel too pressured or anything. And try to remember us little folks when you're on the top of the mountain.

I have a nice legacy going right now, and I usually wait until the EP is released anyway before patching, so I'll live vicariously through this thread and dream of the goodness to come. Besides, I have a feeling there might be enough new gameplay in the EP that some mods may need a touch up after the release as well, so another reason I'm not jumping quite yet. But thanks to all you unsafe sex practitioners early adopters, with no protection, who are willing to put yourself in harm's way by checking it out now.

Playing around with it right now. Here's pictures of the ghosts!

Scuba Diving:


Dehydration:


My personal favourite...Shark! The effects on this one animate like some of Supernatural's ghosts.


Video to come later!

The pillars under the stilted platforms don't always delete over water

I always start fresh with each new patch. I keep telling myself that I am not going to do it, but alas, I do it every time! At least I save my sims to bin.

OK, if preorders can pay off ill-placed bets, then I hope you'll accept my preorder as a thank-you, in addition to my actual thanks.

I've been playing Sims since Sims 1, and this expansion has relatively high amounts of new gameplay and functionality versus most other expansions recently, maybe since Sims 1 when every functionality was "new."
The big juicy patch is like an appetizer before what may be a feast.

I usually end up starting fresh with each new expansion pack also, I create a new game to "test" things and then I end up playing it indefinitely.

Stilts over water don't recolor.

I need awesomemod and a bunch of Twallan's mods, oh and a couple of other random mods.

I can't wait until the 28th. Way too long.

What? I'm playing around with the wooden stilts and I can recolour them just fine.
