they FINALLY fixed the sink glitch (base game update!) 

sorry this video is so chaotic lol THE PATCH DIDN'T WORK!!! also i'm live rn playing with For Rent! www.twitch.tv/lilsimsie

I can't believe our lives have come to the point we celebrate a sink fix in the Sims

I really want them to make the option to woohoo in the shower a base game feature. It makes absolutely 0 sense that it's exclusive to discover university.

kayla missing that you can change any apartment window makes me feel bad for her, seems like something she'd loooooooveeeeee

The no shoes in houses are more of a culture thing in asian households. So it's great they added it to base game to add more realism without buying the snowy escape pack.

You can change the windows in the San Myshuno apartments now. I figured that out by accident. Sadly you can’t change the front door or wall heights.

Sims being able to drag laundry in and out of their inventory means that we can make functional laundromats :)

It’s the fact we get so excited over so little from the Sims

I hope they will give us the ability to tag dining table chairs as dining chairs so Sims will eat at the dining table instead of walking upstairs to eat on a bed (ew lol)!

the switch households feature is great, you're basically skipping two loading screens!

I just need my sims guests to stop baking white cakes

FINALLY the sims fixed this it was so annoying when sims literally put the dishes in the bathroom sink I'm glad they fixed this

Alas, this will not stop my stupid sims from washing their hands in the UPSTAIRS sink after peeing in the DOWNSTAIRS bathroom

Finally! Watching my sims go to the bathroom on the opposite side of the house upstairs to clean the dishes was making me lose my mind

“Sims autonomously making too much coffee/tea” tbh that’s my normal irl behavior 😅😅😅

It’s an entire line. The Cool Kitchen popcorn maker also has new swatches as it’s all part of the Schmapple line.

I love the new fridge swatches. Sometimes they are so thoughtful and sometimes they won't give us matching furniture inside a pack 😂

we gotta admit, the sims 4 team did a lot this year!

Imagine if they went back and updated swatches for things like cabinets though one day, I'd be so happy 😅

Im so glad they did a update for the sinks, its a small feature but it'll be so much better

I would love to see someone make a temple of some sort and have that no shoe sign. It's such a small update but it changes gameplay for people who live like that and go to temples where you can't wear shoes at all. I just think it's interesting.

As an East Asian, the no shoes thing makes a lot of sense/is really nice for the cultural realism. I know a lot of countries don’t wear shoes inside, but specifically the slippers thing, some households (Japanese in my experience, but maybe others?) wear slippers indoors and even provide “guest slippers” so that the floors stay clean. Nice touch ❤

The slipping in mud with infants update is wild 😂

Did they fix the stair railing disappearing sometimes???? It’s driving me crazy

Now im waiting for the counter update because my sims KEEP MAKING GRILLED CHEESE IN THE BATHROOM.

I'd probably downsize the "no shoes" sign and plunk a picture or mirror over it. If you can make it small enough, hide it behind a light switch. I have my sims drink orange juice when they're sick and they get a nature's medicine buff. EDIT: WE CAN NOW CHANGE THE WINDOWS ON EXISTING APARTMENT BUILDINGS IN SAN MYSHUNO (YES, I'M YELLING!!!!).

“Juice on the Rocks doesn’t count as “girl dinner””😩😭 I love it hahahahah

My sim had a party earlier and all the guests just hung out in my 2 by 3 bathroom, all 9 of them, and put all their plates on the slots on the toilet and sink.

Bathroom sink update excitement is the equivelant of animal crossing characters being able to sit down excitement.

I wonder if Sims keep using far away sinks because of how the AI works? I saw a video about this - objects advertise their effects to Sims, and they make choices depending on their needs. Objects with higher need-fulfilling values are more desirable.

One thing that's always bugged me is a "bookshelf" that is actually a hutch.

I wish it was possible to set custom rules by room for which rooms allow shoes and which don't allow it. Like I wouldn't want shoes on in the master bedroom, but in the kitchen and dining room I'd be okay with shoes.

from gamepla,y i found out you can change exterior windows in the Eco Lifestyle & City Living apartment buildings. It's weird they didn't mention that in the patch notes...i REALLY hope it's a feature and not a bug that will later be patched

I’m a little concerned about the werewolf patch. If a single parent or all the adults are ramping it’s hard to take care of infants. the only way the kids didn’t get whisked away was because they autonomously took care of them anyway. 😖

I really, really hope they'll fix the infant glitches in the next update. Especially if you have more than one, it's been a nightmare caring for them

Something I found on accident after the patch today was that we can move/delete windows on apartments in san myshuno and evergreen harbor! Jaw was dropped. Sims team is kind of stepping it up lately 😊

i found the sink thing more funny than annoying but i'm so happy about the shoes update it has bothered me so much

I love the sims patch notes. I got a good laugh out of them. The people that write the patch notes have fun

I still really really REALLY wish there was a way to bypass EA's game launcher. It's disheartening to be one of the small percentage of people who don't have reliable internet that end up unable to play because of their game launcher deciding to just sign us out day after day after day.

The sink thing is so good. I can finally start putting sinks in bathrooms again.

I really feel that with the exclusive things, like the items you get for pre-ordering a game pack, should stay an exclusive for only like a year and then just be available to anyone who buys the pack.

Can we have a similar option for enable/disable chairs and tables where its okay or nkt to eat ? Im tired of my sims climbing to the highest floor of the house to go sit on a random chair in a bedroom so theh can eat their meal. My dining room deserve better 😞

The craziest bug I have is sims that stay over or visit just keep making tons of white cakes:/

If you have the problem Kayla was having with downloading. Press in the left corner above on the icon with te 3 lines, then on help, then app recovery and then on clear cache.😊 It will stop downloading but just start downloading again! Hope this helps good luck!!❤

this is great but i wish we got something bigger too? this is mostly bug fixes. was really hoping for a new build feature, like we usually get. Maybe they could let us place mirrors freely or columns on half tiles?

I’m so excited for the remove shoe option

Oh my god I’m so excited that they’re finally trying to fix the tea/coffee glitch!!!!! Haven’t been able to have a drink maker on my counter in MONTHS

Those red and blonde hair patch notes were really feeling personal, especially when I am constantly tormented by Ginger Curse and Blonde Plague in my years-long save!! 😆

No one will be happier about the "Sims enter locked apartments/houses" fix more than James Turner(Sim Supply)

The sink type was never really a big issue for me, it's more for counters. Sometimes I prefer to make my own custom bathroom sinks with the kitchen counters and sometimes my sims will use the bathroom counters to prep food rather than using the kitchen when there's an open counter they can use.Because of this, I always try to cover the bathroom counter with clutter, I just don't like much of the bathroom clutter though.

SO EXCITED FOR THIS UPDATE

I wish they had added something like being able to adjust the lighting on lots when in build mode or even change the front of lot when uploading to the gallery/library. These would lend themselves really well to the new build feature in the pack and also be so good in the base game

i built a traditional japanese house recently and made an asian household to go with it, the shoes thing was so buggy and sometimes they'd freeze while their shoes appeared and disappeared and i'd have to debug them

As someone who owns EVERY game pack and expansion, I'm all for EA making less money 😅😂 I wonder if Carla (TheWhinyBrit) has a code

i’m actually SO happy ab the new schmapple items 😭 i use them bc theyre unbreakable but i hate their old color swatches. they usually clash with a nice kitchen color scheme so this is a dream for me

I absolutely love and appreciate that you make these "update" videos! Otherwise, we'd be unaware of most of these fixes.

Hold on, the shoes off thing with the shoe rack has always been a thing since the few patches after snowy escape in-game though. Did no one know?

I love reading their quips in the patch notes. As a developer, I’d love to write patch notes for bugs I’ve fixed 😂

kayla you are like my sims news thank you for letting us know stuff we wouldnt find out through basic game play you deserve the world

In this update, you can now customize the windows of the apartments in San Myshuno!!! That just changes whole playing of City Living. I know it's not on the ea app website but i saw this on tiktok and i started up my pc right away and it's just real. I'm so happy about it ❤

Me irl washing dishes in the bathroom and wearing shoes indoors am i a sim??

I love how a sink fix brings me so much joy. By maxis, do I feel old.

1) The plants revert to dirt piles thing has actually been fixed a number of times, but due to the complexity of the bug it has so far never gotten entirely fixed. This most recent time (not this patch but last I believe) was the third time I believe. It also isn't really a bug in and of itself, it's a symptom of ANOTHER bug which is making it harder to fix, because they have to identify the actual bug that's causing them to revert. And what they've found is that it's actually MULTIPLE different bugs. The way Crinrict explained it over on the Sims Bug Report Forums is that when the plants don't know what state to be in they revert to dirt piles kind of as a safety mechanism. A number of bugs are making the game unable to tell for various reasons. 2) CC DOES break on some occasions. CAS stuff tends to not unless they change something with CAS but furniture breaks more frequently. It's possible that CC sinks will be broken due to the new interaction added in the update (just like how beds broke when they added the pillow fight option).

Yes Mrs Simsie the stainless swatches are new! I use that oven and fridge a lot lol

3:42 In one of the trailers they showed off rooftop pools, too, but I haven't seen anyone actually try that so I've been wondering if that was an actual thing or if it was just a trailer thing? The sink thing is nice but I'm way more into building/renovating than gameplay 😂

I made a family using genetics and the parents had no body hair but their children had ALL the body hair. I was like ???? ok??

speaking of fiscal schemes even though you can’t enter build mode on dorm lots anything you can drag into your inventory you can sell. made quite a bit of change off the stacks of books and my roommates’ guitars. stole a guitar and a violin for myself while I was at it.

I’m actually psyched about the new schmapple swatches I always reward my sims with the set :)

Maybe someday they will fix the problem i have whenever i have that one window that lets your sims sneak out. Where random sims will just randomly walk into my house and often stare at my sim when they’re sleeping

When I finally decides to download a mod for fixing the sink issue, that's when EA decides to finally fix it themselves. How funny that is.

The no shoes in house is amazing! I am not gonna have this beautiful hardwood floor just for some sim to scuff it up or track doggy doo on it.

It’s very interesting different peoples shoe etiquette! For me, if you’re only ‘popping in’ you can keep your shoes on, but any longer stay and/or being on carpet, you take your shoes off.

Let’s all still pour one out for modder Scumbumbo. RIP.

WOOOOOO NO MORE DISHES IN THE BATHROOM

The Goats and Sheep used to double in number when you moved with Horse Ranch 1 set to household inventory 1 to personal inventory if you had a lot you made a pretty penny.

I went back to the Sims 4 a couple of weeks ago, so I downloaded the EA App (I hadn't played since Origin used to still work haha), and it's a bit comforting to see that it's not my PC that's having problem with the software when updates/installations are required

“I love a money laundering scheme!” 😂 I laughed so hard.

the only bug I desperately wish they would fix is the white cake bug, random sims or friends of my family I'm playing with keep coming in and cooking a white cake or they don't finish it and I have to clean it up lol but it's nice they fixed the sink issue finally

im so excited for todays stream !

Bro the shoe thing is so good! We don't wear shoes at home so having this is so nice.

As a console player, the fact that I can now press undo without the search bar popping up has me near tears I would literally have to restart the game every 30 minutes because of this😭

OKAY HEAR ME OUT a new event idea,,, FUNERALS

You can also move/change apartment windows from city living now

Your office is so cheerful. I love the tree in there. It feels happy ^_^

As an asian....thank the devs for basegame no shoes

how did you get the sims 2 on the ea app? i recently wanted to play it but it wasn't on any gaming platform so i got it on amazon (as a cd/dvd) but via cd it doesnt work on my computer bc i dont have a cd slot

also you can remove windows from the city living and eco lifestyle apartments and add windows of your choice now

Fantastic updates I am excited about both of them!!

2000 Simmers : I bet the sims will have so much to be excited about in the future 2023 Simmers : OMG A USABLE SINK

Can we all agree that Lilsimsie carries the sims community

omg the collumns were driving me insane! loved making pretty entrance ways with collumns but they block everythinggg

I don't know if it's been broken by the new update since it says that it needs Snowy Escape, but there's actually a mod that overrides the vanilla spinning animation for removing/putting on shoes with a more realistic one without the spinning air animation. It's called "Take off Shoes with Animation" and it's on Curseforge.

At this point they need to stop releasing packs and just give us mass bug fixes.

We been waiting for soooo long for this omg

I'm just so unexplainably excited about the god dang Oven/Stove no longer disappearing - I thought I was going crazy

6:00 That's shoe rack has been out for months and months now. That base game shoe rack, and I love it it adds fantastic simple tricks to my game. Like my girl sends wear boots are high heels and it was found it so odd that they're wearing shoes around the house so I would always make a separate outfit with slippers on, but now right after Snow escape came out, since they added the shoe rack gameplay, most of my houses are set to slippers or socks indoors. No shoes indoors. It was such a nice little tweak but this isn't brand new at all

I had an issue downloading the patch at first as well but after exiting the EA app and going back in it worked- don't know if that's an everybody fix but it worked for me

The foot one was hilarious! Loved it so much, wish I got pictures😂😂

My kept doing the whole preparing thing too. I was able to do what EA suggests and click on Help and App Recovery to clear out the cache. My update went smooth after that.

"your adorable little laundering scheme" has me ROLLING
