Patch notes
How do Simmers!

Just about the end of June… Summer is in full swing… what better time than now for a release?!


 * What’s New?

Did you see something? Over there... peeking out from under the bed. Not if you aren’t a kid!

Children however might find themselves awakened at night to the eerie sounds of a monster lurking beneath their bed. Fear not brave ones, a quick spray of monster repellent will get the pesky critter to creep away (you can also pre-spray like any properly working repellent).

But… why be afraid, when you can be friends! Children can spend a little time trying to get to know the bed bound beastie, and maybe make a new friend.

Of course, perhaps you just don’t want your kiddies to worry. Place “Coolala, The Defender Wall Light” to keep the monster at bay, and sleep tight, have a good night…. and know that the Monster Under the Bed is afraid of sunlight.


 * General Issues…


 * We fixed an issue that left our elders looking a bit more daw… er…ly morning of the dead than we wanted them to be… their age lines were quite pronounced. Elders should look less zombie and more walking alive.
 * The Days Until Age Up information in the Simology panel will now display no matter where you hover over the age bar.
 * Left side… right side… slightly off center... the Sims’ days are always numbered.
 * Do you think the Sim knows about their age countdown?
 * Do you think it’s Logans Run’esque, Terminator 2’ish, or maybe Paycheck’ian...
 * …not that anyone should reference Paycheck. But you know what, I liked Paycheck. There, I said it, and now you know.
 * "Eat" will no longer be called "Eat and Learn Experimental Food" on foods that are not experimental foods.
 * Also… quotations used "incorrectly" have been known to cause "confusion" and lead to the belief that "what the writer is writing" is intended sarcastically.
 * We fixed an issue with some assets that were incorrectly tagged as masculine or feminine, or that had their tags forgotten altogether. Specifically:
 * ymhair_Sp05LongFront is now tagged as masculine
 * ymTop_SP05Basic is now tagged as masculine
 * yfAcc_EarScoop is now tagged as feminine
 * yfBottom_EF10SwimBikiniMetalFront is now tagged as feminine
 * We fixed an issue that prevented Sims from being able to hire a mixologist to tend bar.
 * They are back, they are mixing…
 * …‘ologist’ refers to a person who studies or has knowledge of a particular kind of science.
 * And as much as I hoped… a tribologist does not actually study tribbles.


 * Spa Day…


 * Mud bathing Sims will no longer appear with random face paints.


 * Dine Out…


 * The hair ym_GP03SlickBackWavy will no longer have a bald spot on the back.
 * Implants are complete, all hair is 100% natural… no chemicals or artificial sweeteners have been added.
 * Net profit information will no longer improperly display when opening the View Last Finances report in your restaurant menu.
 * We fixed an issue that was causing the totals to add incorrectly each time the dialog was viewed.
 * We addressed an issue (Hello issue) that could cause restaurant advertising to have little or no effect upon the number of customers that would come to visit your establishment.


 * Get to Work…


 * We fixed an interface issue that made it appear retail stores would remain open when the Sim left the lot.
 * Patients should no longer reset when their doctor attempts to examine them or take their temperature.

Thank you again for your feedback, support, and issue reports – all of which keeps us moving along!
