SIMS 4: New Update of 27.04.2021
The most-awaited update is finally here! This update brought us a lot of Asian features and one or two African-styled hairstyles as well. Other than that, we also have bunk beds, swimming pools, and a lot of bug fixes. Let’s get into each of them, then?
1. African styled hairstyles
Two new updated hairstyles in Create A Sim, which can be used on everyone: adults, children, and toddlers as well. The first hairstyle is African tight curls, as shown below: The second African-styled hairstyle is short-textured hair which got a new update with more texturedness.
2. Bunk Beds!
A new addition to the game is bunk beds! There’s a Bunk Bed with a metal frame, and there’s another which looks like the monopod bed. Players can also watch TV from bed, be it the regular bed or the bunk bed. Each bunk bed will have two ladders, and one will be removed depending on where you put it – that is, which side is against the wall. You can also customize your bunk beds by using the “Top Bunk” in the catalog, which helps in changing the color of the bunks.
3. Bug Fixes!
Build items will appear in the correct way and can be found in the Show Used Items. Career and School tools were edited to make their usage crystal clear to the Simmers. No more book cradleObject_GENBook. Gathering Water was removed as Sims weren’t comfortable with it. Ghost sims will not be Ghosts in CAS. Some new adjustments and texts were perfected in-game across all packs and precedent updates.
Updates in Expansion Packs:
1. Get Together
Social Panel bug fixed. It will no longer default back to the wrong tab. You will henceforth always know which tab you’re on.
2. City Livings
Vegetarian Sims have good news! They will no longer have to eat non-vegetarian uneaten leftovers from the fridge. The DigiRAD Keyboard issue was also fixed.
3. Cats and Dogs
There was an issue that spayed cats still went into heat. This issue is now fixed. (But the creators fully believe that everyone has the right to find love.)
4. Seasons
During the Grand Meal Holiday Events, if you eat a Fish Dinner, it will now be counted. All soaps were made recyclable. Now you can also shower in the light rain.
5. Snowy Escape
