Non-played Sims (sometimes referred to as townies) now have jobs!. Actions that you can take while your Sim is at work/school have been updated to allow you to gain relationship with or meet more co-workers/schoolmates. Your Sims will now meet and build relationships with their co-workers and schoolmates. Now as your Sim is gardening or fishing and they make discoveries (such as splicing recipes, or what bait caught what fish) these discoveries will be catalogued in your Notebook. We have added a Notebook, found in the phone menu, under a tiny button at the top of the menu (we tried to make the button even smaller, but some folks wanted you to find this new feature). Paint from Reference is a new option on the Easel that lets Sims paint family portraits, landscapes, or whatever else you want!. You can now download lots from the Gallery that are larger than your current lot, and crop them to fit. You can also use the shortcut key to access the tool
Move Lot is now an option under Move Lot & House in Build Mode, and can be used to pick up and rotate the entire lot. For the mathematically challenged, that is SIX FLOORS!. An additional above ground floor is available for a total of 4 up and 2 down. The Basement Tool is found in the Build sort, next to the Wall tool. Build 2 levels down to create the ultimate in underground excellence. We’ve got NEW! We’ve got UPDATES! We’ve got Bunny Eggs? We’ve got performance improvements! We’ve got fixes! And hopefully you are comfortable as you read on. However, but before you work your way into a new expansion, we’ve got a release full of stuff. It’s the end of March and Get to Work is inches away from your fingertips. ❗ Remove all MODS and Custom Content before updating your game ❗ If you have updated but it is not showing the correct game version, delete the GameVersion.txt file, restart the game, and all will be corrected.
