Clicking a name in chat now opens their profile Clicking a player’s name in lot or city chat now reliably opens their profile.

The “Country Oak n’ Arborite” kitchen is in Buy mode 11 more “Country Oak n’ Arborite” kitchen pieces have been added to the catalog. The set had only ever shipped its dishwasher; the rest of it was in the game but had no catalog listing, so there was no way to buy it. Now on […]

Sims stop walking through tables and desks Furniture that sims used to walk straight through is solid again.

“Change To Normal” on dressers, and it works after you travel Dressers now offer “Change To Normal”.

Residents feed your pets, and actually keep up with the mess Resident NPCs now feed pets. They never did – not once, on any lot. If you kept a parrot, a fish bowl, an iguana, birds, a guinea pig or a food bowl and you were offline, nothing on the lot would fill the dish […]

Broken sinks, toilets and dishwashers can be fixed again Repairing an imported object now actually repairs it. Sinks, toilets, showers, dishwashers, the Spa Steamer, the Skydiving Simulator and the Servo dock all used the old repair routine your Sim could never finish – the animation looped and the object stayed broken, unless your Sim happened […]

DirectX no longer fails to load content **Switching the launcher to DirectX no longer ends in a “Content could not be loaded” error.** The game’s DirectX visual effects were still in a format the current graphics runtime refuses to read, so the game stopped before it ever reached the loading screen. They have all been […]
