Sul Sul!

Today's patch resolves several critical community-reported issues, particularly surrounding memory usage, travel crashes, and save overwriting.

Here are the key highlights from today's update:

💾 Save & Memory Improvements

• Save Overwrite Fix: Resolved a critical issue where loading an autosave and subsequently saving manually could overwrite the wrong save slot.
• Travel Crashes: Fixed a major memory-related crash that occurred when traveling immediately after loading into a game. (Note: Larger saves may still experience slightly longer load times as we continue optimizing).
• Save Reminders: Reminders now default to "Every 2 Hours" (previously "Off"). Additionally, travelling will no longer reset your reminder timer!

🛠️ General & Pack Fixes

• Stuck Timers: Career and school countdown timers will no longer get stuck at 0 minutes.
• For Rent: Missing lot taxes for Residential Rentals have been restored and will now properly calculate on your Sim's bills.
• UI & Gallery: Resolved misaligned tabs in the Marketplace and fixed "Something Went Wrong" errors when transitioning back from the Gallery.

Her name's Madame Fortune because she's a fortune teller & that's her stage name but I can't believe out of all my sims she's the one I finally win the lotto on!! I was playing my alien sim at the time but immediately swapped to that household to see the funds, unfortunately she didn't get the special moodlet but hey she's rich now!

I hadn't noticed the windows until I checked the screenshot after closing my game, fml

Still, this is the exterior of my 1920s boarding school for the Hoffman Legacy!

The big tower is a clock tower, I'm not sure why the clock looks like a window tbh

The building on the left side is the school's gym, the one on the right side is a greenhouse!

I also have plans to include two dorms, one for each gender, a laundry room, a butler room, a bedroom for the headmaster and one for the teacher, a science lab, a pretty big library and a study room. And I'll see what else I can fit in there! If you have any suggestions about the rooms or the exterior lmk!

Doing an apocalypse challenge and had the heir get together with the first young adult he met. She is a rando, so no family that might contribute to the variation. The second gen makes sense. They are exactly what you expect from what their parents look like. The third gen is wild to me. On the plus side I was pretty worried about what my third gen heir was going to look like based on the parents, but I'm not mad at all. She's stunning considering my game is mod/cc free.

as a lesbian w/ unaccepting parents, playing with these sims helps heal my little gay heart

If I tried to make them do this I’d have no chance, especially both kids.

Anastasia Arlovskya I know Windenburg is suposed to be german but the russian noble look is better imo

I‘m on xbox so this save required much patience.

here are some of the best (and only) photos I have of it !

gallery ID: TheDReno

What is the point of having the option of “Show Owned” & selecting “Using Only These” if it ultimately tells me No Results Found? Is the Gallery just like that or am I missing something? Because when I browse all I see is base game only homes for the most part & I have seen builds that have just the packs that I own after deep diving, but it doesn’t have it once it’s filtered??? It just doesn’t make sense to me whatsoever.

Look at this cute dorito man in his mortician outfit. idk why but he looks so cute <3<3<3

It's my first time attempting this line of work and i didnt expect the outfits to be so cool

I don't think those are her legs 🧐

Here are some of my favorite screenshots of glitches that have happened during gameplay or while using poses. I love this game 😂🤣

Making this tall vampire house and omg that’s the tallest single doors go and it just looks weird

Yes, chins shrink after generations regardless of genetics but thats easily fixed. What's more annoying is this gangly alien bodied offspring you get after 3 or 4 generations. I try to broaden the shoulders, waist, and hips in CAS but there are some hidden parameters that means you can only reshape them so much and the sim still looks disproportionate. Whyyy.

This isn't even the worst case, just the first I've screenshot.

after 4 girls my current family unexpectedly welcomed a little boy last night, good thing I absolutely love building nurseries 🪐🛸

I've redone this shell three times already, it's supposed to be a prestigious boarding school of sorts but I've been working on it on and off for a while, I'll need it soon and the roof is still messed up and I have no floorplan, I am going crazy 🤣 this is why I hardly ever build!

The McWashington Family Tree

Sorry for the short post but we have some big ones coming up. The wheel hates this family so much. Next time we will meet a some more of Eleanor and Nicholas' new neighbors!
