Hey Simmers,
We have just a few things to share, so let’s jump right into them.
General Issues

• The Get Engaged whim can now be satisfied by choosing to propose.
  
  
  
  • The engagement however will be satisfied only by the whims of the participants.
    
  
  
  
  
• Woohoo partners will no longer be chastised for sleeping in the Sims bed after woohoo.
  
  
• Sims that you know that are mixologists, caterers, or entertainers will now be available to hire for Social Events your Sim chooses to host.
  
  
• Check Toddler has been checked over and should be more reliable when toddler checking.
  
  
  
  • We addressed some queue dropping and route fail issues that could occur with the check toddler interaction.
    
  
  
  
  
• Happy Toddler and Top-Notch Toddler traits now count towards the Most Interesting Sim in the World achievement.
  
  
• We have removed the female preference for holding toddlers in family portraits.
  
  
  
  • Sims related to the toddler are now of equal likelihood to carry the toddler in the portrait.
    
  
  
  
  
• The “Debug” style will no longer be an available style filter in the Build and Create a Sim catalogs.
  
  
  
  • While there was a movement amongst the design community to expand the notion of art, form, style, and fashion, it was ultimately deemed derivative of the work of Mugatu, and his Derelicte line.
    
  
  
  

Get to Work

• Receiving a citation will no longer cause your Sims arms to waive about uncontrollably.
  
  

Get Together

• Clubs that use the Play Cards rule, can now expect Sim club members to play cards.
  
  

Cats & Dogs

• The Split Panel Dresser and The Floatin' Shelf bookshelf will no longer allow you to place objects floating behind them.
  
  
  
  • This does not impact the move objects cheat, but in the case of these two objects they had slots for object placement incorrectly floating in space behind them.
    
  
  
  
  
• We addressed an issue that could cause an Error Code 131 result upon loading a home where a pet had run away. You should no longer see Error Code 131.
  
  

Jungle Adventure

• Authenticated artifacts will now maintain their authenticated appearance after being placed from My Library.
  
  

Romantic Garden

• The Don't Look at Me Monkey Bars has quality score information.
  
  
  
  • Fun is 7, Motor Skill is plus, and Children are only.
    
  
  
  

Vintage Glamour

• The 16th Century Monte Vista Globe Bar now ALSO has quality score information!
  
  
  
  • Drink quality is 4, and Mixology Skill is plus.
    
  
  
  

Laundry Day

• DIY Sink and Bai l'Est Galvanized Sink now have hygiene and reliability ratings!
  
  
  
  • They are 5 and 5, and 5 and 5.
    
  
  
  
  
• Adding clean clothes to a pile of dirty clothes will no longer prevent the Sims from washing the clothing. And adding dirty clothes to a pile of clean clothes will no longer prevent the Sims from washing the clothing.
  
  
  
  • Dirty + dirty = dirty. Dirty + clean = dirty. Clean + clean = clean.
    
  • However dirty + clean + clean + dirty * clean + dirty, is still dirty.
    
    
    
    • But, 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 * 0 + 1 = 4
      
    
    
    
  
  
  
  
• Children will no longer stretch when performing the Sniff Fresh Clothing interaction.
  
  
  
  • Also, children are no longer allowed to perform the Sniff Fresh Clothing interaction…
    
    
    
    • …because they were stretching.
      
    
    
    
  
  
  

My First Pet

• The Feed Treat interaction now has a chance of failure.
  
  
  
  • Anyone see the Wreck-It Ralph 2 trailer?
    
    
    
    • Just curious… no reason.
      
    
    
    
  
  
  
  
• My First Pet Stuff Postcards now have a cost between 30 and 60 Simoleons.
  
  
• We addressed an issue with Living Like We're Young in the Pop Station that was preventing the audio from playing.
  
  
  
  • It now plays.
    
    
    
    • audio.
      
    
    
    
  
  
  

And in conclusion, sleep well woohoo partners, fear not the repercussions of your weary repose.
Thank you for your time, attention, and ability to traverse chaos,
-SimGuruGnome

gameplay looks fine after installing updates im only confused about this new stuff

and if its possible to links both games i wonder how while we using cracked versions which cannot connect online

Is it normal to have the plumbob gift from the sims 3 generations allways pop up when i enter to the main menu? every single time? it doesn't affect anything but is a little bit annoying.

You cannot link those games (because The Sims 4 is pirated). This Family Portrait is a reward item, like those plumbob lamps, that they have added into this cracked version of the game. It's available in Buymode under Living Room -> Portraits/Posters.

Last time I tested it (admittedly that was with the previous patch version), the Generations Plumbob went away the next time, after I played a little and saved the game. Maybe we can come up with something here, but I'm thinking the issue could be related to the crack files.

Would you mind providing different link for the download. They are blocked at the country I live in

Try THIS ONE hopefully not blocked ?

SirenOfTheSkies wrote:Would you mind providing different link for the download. They are blocked at the country I live in

Could you be more specific? Which links exactly are not working? All of them, or only some? The .torrent file is a direct download (from OneDrive), have you tried this as well?

Yes, I'm currently downloading the one provided by Tarac, the ones that you linked don't work for me, whenever I click on them they open a new tab and forward me to this website http://restorecosm.bid/-36719ZINU/8BII?rndad=90926588-1524909448 which is blocked so I can't download.

Unfortunately that's one of the drawbacks of Adfl.ly where you have to close your adblockers first. (not recommended by me though as you'll be flooded by casino games and all kind of other, often, malicious or s€x-related software).
But it brings some revenue to G4TW to reduce their costs in maintaining this site

The problem is the fact that I DON'T have an adblock.

You could also try using a proxy or VPN, to access these links (or other sites blocked on your end). Such as this here:
https://hide.me/en/proxy

Though probably, it's easier at this point to ask for alternative direct download links here.

@The_gh0stm4n  @Tarac  or anyone else who might know.


I saw this line in the Original post, and have been away from the site for some time.
btw hi guys! lol

i'm considering moving, and online might not be an option anymore if i do, so this line below sparked my curiosity.

Remember that, if you want to play your ZLOrigin game offline, you'll need the updated Gamefolder.

am interested in knowing more about this. does swapping out the gameplay folder make it playable without zclient? or is there more to do?

Tried that long time ago and for all security again just this morning.
No, it still needs zclient and zlorigin.

It does work however for Sims 2 and Sims 4., but we knew this already long, long time ago.

Sims 4 is all im wondering about, i already have sims 2 and 3, so no worry there.
sucks owning sims 4 knowing that if my situation does soon change i wont even be able to play a game i paid for. it's rediculous.

thank you for the response @Tarac, so thats all you do is swap the game folder? or do i need the update download too?

I'd hate to go back to multiple sims 4 installations.

Regarding The Sims 4, my strategy is:
1. Install and update by ZLOrigin.
2. Play off-line with an additional Game folder

So, in my installation folder The Sims 4 I have 2 Game folders, Game (for ZLOrigin) and Game_cracked for the offline pirated version.
ZLorigin updates my game automatically.

My most recent update was cats&dogs. Do I need to download every patch since then, the 1.39, 1.40, and 1.41 patches and then this one, or will 1.42 cover all of that? Thanks in advance
