Sul Sul, Simmers!

This update includes a range of improvements, such as expanding the options to romance Ghosts and Vampires in Lovestruck and adding the ability to preview songs when “Safe for Streaming” is toggled.

As part of our continued commitment to tackling technical issues, please follow @TheSimsDirect for the most up-to-date information on the deployment of these fixes. As always, if you have any issues, please share with us on AnswersHQ.

Base Game / Multipack

• [AHQ] Error Code 121 no longer occurs when moving in a household for the “Finding Love After a Breakup” Scenario.
• [AHQ] Error Code 123 no longer occurs in certain circumstances when traveling to another location.
• [AHQ] Cost of living just went back up: Sims once again can pay bills when they are due.
• [AHQ] Previously distorted glasses are back in shape.
• Improved interface for the Safe for Streaming Music options. Songs that aren't safe to stream should be grayed out, while available songs can now be previewed.
• Sims rejected from being asked on a date through the Relationship Panel now are firmly rejected with a Notification. Just to make it official.
• “Start a New Relationship“ is no longer a Want for Sims with the Noncommittal Trait.
• You might have seen the option to “Lecture About Responsibilities“ twice in the interaction menu when a parent is talking to their teen Sim. It should now just appear once, so enough with the nagging.

Seasons

With Lovestruck…

• The Dr. June's Weather Control Device no longer offers snow in Ciudad Enamorada. Winters are warm here!

High School Years

• Married Sims no longer propose to other Sims.

Growing Together

With Lovestruck…

• Sims asked on a date from Cupid's Corner only have three Traits now, leaving room for new Traits through Self Discovery.  Sims found previously through Cupid’s Corner still will have more Traits than average – overachievers.
• The text for the Self Discovery moment of swapping the Unflirty or Romantically Reserved Traits to Lovebug now accurately reflects the traits being swapped.

Lovestruck

Live Mode

• [AHQ] Gallery Sims are available again in Cupid’s Corner and the game no longer sometimes infinitely loads when traveling after adding one to your Sim’s contacts.
• [AHQ] Sims from Cupid’s Corner whose location was listed as “Not Shared” now can be socialized with on a Lovestruck Date or Hangout.
• Ghost partners can go to Cupid's Counseling. Their partners could see through their excuses and are ready to remedy their relationship!
• Ghosts are available for Seductive Dances and “Watch Stars/Sky with…”.
• Sims no longer stargaze indoors at Rattlesnake Juice Bar in Oasis Springs.
• These interactions have more versions of Simlish for variety: “Play Woo-Who!? With…” on Who's Up Party Games, “Steal from Fountain” on the Fountain of Dreams, and “Rub Ring”. Look for Sammy The Ring Bear around that fountain for more information.
• [AHQ] A Sim who was met on a Blind Date and then canceled on (rude!) now can be asked to Create a Date. Previously, the interface was blank.
• Sims no longer read “Seduction by the Sea” indefinitely. Must be a real page-turner!
• Sims now autonomously seek sleep when they are low on energy.
• Flowers given to a Sim now show up in the recipient's inventory.
• When selecting a single flower for “Give Flowers…”, the Sim now bestows a single flower instead of a whole bouquet. Sometimes a single bloom says more than an entire bouquet!
• When selecting “Cuddle in Bed” multiple times in a row on a bed, Sims no longer lock up with their arm outstretched.
• When selecting “Cuddle in Bed” multiple times in a row on different beds, the Sim now successfully reaches the first bed.
• “Ask to Create a Date...“ with a new Sim from the Gallery now results in that Sim showing up properly at the edge of the Date or Hangout location.
• The Unflirty Trait icon looks clearer.

Create a Sim

• Lovebug and Romantically Reserved Traits are available as Likes and Dislikes plus Turn-Ons and Turn-Offs in Create a Sim.
• [AHQ] The short, curly beard (ymFacialHair_EP16BeardCurly) no longer changes the shape of the Sim’s jaw.

Build Mode

• Spot-tangle Light (lightWall_EP16SULTuplight) no longer steals the spotlight by turning off all other lights within a room when placed.
• Couples Crest Bench (sitLoveseat2x1_EP16GENartistic) now has collision and cannot be placed where there is no space.

Ciudad Enamorada

• The camera moves more freely now around Calle del Ensueño in Plaza Mariposa.
• [AHQ] The door of the Nadir household's penthouse office has returned, so poor Aziz can get back to his writing.
• Casita del Amor’s Lot now shows the correct view when saving to the Gallery.
• A missing curtain in Mirador del Amor has been re-added to the venue.
• The rooftop of the López household now has all of its walls painted.

Dine Out

• Waiters bring out food and clean tables more reliably without resetting.

Vampires

• [AHQ] Teen Vampires now can complete a regular Date. They deserve a chance to find love, too!

With Lovestruck…

• Vampires without Sun Resistance now can go to Cupid's Counseling regardless of the time of day. No more using the sun as an excuse to get out of the hard work of a relationship.
• All Vampires are available for Seductive Dances, not just Vampires with Sun Resistance. Non-sun-resistant Sims deserve Seductive Dances, too!

Realm of Magic

• [AHQ] Sims are once again able to read Magic Tomes. Time to get back to the spellbooks!

My Wedding Stories

• [AHQ] Just a Spot of Tea now stays put instead of disappearing when returning to a rental lot from a wedding venue.
