The August/Moschino patch is upon us. Apart from a few changes in photography that are available to everyone without having to buy the pack, there are also some bug fixes.

Random people will no longer steal your food in restaurants and non-Sulani residents are now allowed to work in a Sulani Restaurant. The problem with the faulty lot types has been fixed as well as the faulty genetics for mermaids. Beach towels will be visible in low settings now as well and Sims won’t constantly open and close the umbrella anymore. There’s also a few changes to the off the grid lot type.

Complete changes below.

Changes

Source: EA

We hope you’re having a nice summer (or winter, depending on your hemisphere…)

Have you had a chance to go on vacation recently? If so, did you take lots of fabulous photos? If not, have you taken some fun selfies with your friends? At the very least I’m sure you’ve photographed your dinner…

Well, your Sims have been busy taking photos (or they will, once you tell them to), and now there are new ways to display photographs in The Sims 4.

It’s easier than ever to create new looks for ordinary walls: place a photo on the wall from your Sim’s inventory, then click on it – you’ll find a new “Change Orientation” option that lets you quickly and easily rotate between landscape and portrait.

Fill your Sim’s surfaces with pictures of family and friends (and anything else you can imagine) by grabbing a photo placed on the wall and dragging it on to a table or a shelf – it will magically turn into a standing photo with a frame.

Personally, I plan to build a tiny home and decorate it with nothing but artistic photographs of grilled cheese sandwiches.

Have fun!
