[@carmenphoon]

Omg! The way my heart dropped for him when his game crashed towards the end! Thankfully he uploaded in the gallery just before... phew! Otherwise it would have been a waste of time, the build is great! Please Satch, remember to always save your game when you build. This game is held together by scotch tapes now apparently...

[@Moss_piglet13]

I actually never save while building anymore Idk if it's true but I've seen people say that saving anywhere outside of live mode can contribute to save file corruption and I have a 2 and a half year old save that ime working on so I don't wanna risk it even with backups. What I do instead is just save to my gallery and keep overriding it. That way if my game crashes, I can just place the lot again

[@ismichi]

@@Moss_piglet13 I've legit never had a file get glitched due to saving during build mode, and I've been playing since the game's official debut. So unless you're doing something very sketchy (pirating) or risky (unmoderated mods), or mayhaps your PC is trash or never cleaned-up (eg CCleaner)... you shouldn't think it's probable for yourself. But I do agree it's more reliable to save your file to the gallery as you go. If only because it's less likely to crash, in my experience

[@strangestway]

8:55 Agreed! I wanted Dreamhome Decorator to have classic and quality furniture inspired by great designers. Instead we got the most basic Ikea inspired stuff 😵

Yes! So it’s a bug! I’ve only played with one household since the update and one of my Sims specifically keeps yelling at his daughter and his spouse. It also wouldn’t let me adopt a child

Do they have the mean, evil or erratic traits and do they have difficult family dynamics if you have growing together? Cause the sims team says if this happens it’s intentional

I feel like your skills have improved so much over the years! 🎉 I love this residential lot you’ve renovated. Every apartment feels unique! I can already imagine creating a sim for each apartment and how they match their place. Thanks for sharing these long videos and your creativity❤

[@Mondeskind]

Omg, yes! I started building a huge residential lot on one of those right before 'For Rent' came out. But I stopped when I learned it wouldn't work. Thanks for pointing this part of the patch out; I might have never noticed it because I hate reading patch notes 😂😂😂

[@briannasimone2679]

If you do end up speaking on the bugs that came with the new update, here are just some of the things I’ve been experiencing. My Sim keeps arguing with their daughter and spouse and their friendship meter keeps going very low. (No mean traits) It also wouldn’t let me adopt a child, and no matter how many times I restart my game it will not let me use the gallery.

[@kittyscreativecorner]

Finally someone said what I've always thought about Dream Home Decorator 😭😭 I feel like the furniture is sooooo bare looking and ugly, and I like the idea of modular furniture, but I don't think all the details that we needed are there, like some wall cabinets and shelves being empty, but not having any slots that you can put things on without cheats. I also feel like the furniture has no real theme or anything that ties it together, it's just the most basic and empty furniture we've ever had, and the only thing that links all the items together in this pack is that everything is white. There's no overall theme or style, like there is with the Desert Lux Kit or the Courtyard Kit, which have such a clear and cohesive style, all the items work so well together, and the items are all so much more detailed with a lot more character. I get that Dream Home Decorator was going for modern/minimalist style, but I feel like there's a difference between the bare minimum and minimalistic, and to me, this pack feels super bare bones and like nothing really goes together, or with any of the other items in the base game and other packs.

[@AmysAttitude]

It's the "style" right now. White, beige, plain af. That's a style that people want right now so they put it into the game.

3:33 You know, sometimes a studio is all some people can afford. I work 40+ hours a week above minimum wage and I still can't afford anything bigger than a studio without sharing the rent with someone else (thankfully I live with my partner). Your opinion about living in a studio is completely valid, it's not the best experience. However, it would be nice if you would also acknowledge the fact that you are privileged enough to have a choice in which type of residence you would prefer to live in.

Satch Penthouses are basically MANSIONS for city dwellers who like living in the center of the city. They are usually the top floor and have things like swimming pools and basketball courts because they are for like billionaires who want to live on top of everyone in a city. Like you should really take a look at some IRL multi-million dollar penthouses, they exist...especially in places like NYC and are insane sometimes. Especially because they are the on top of a high-rise building. That being said this update and ability to convert penthouses is cool. also not a secret, it was in the patch notes.

Is my game just blessed? It opened and I was able to play and save it fine. It did freeze and almost crash but I'm 90% sure it was just because my laptop overheated, I didn't get my laptop fan I usually use because I was just opening the game for a minute to check. Don't know if it's because of how I got the DLC's, not legitly if I can admit that, but it seems that most of the time when everyone's having game breaking issues I'm not unless my mods cause it. I can't say anything on the sims being mean to each other issue yet because the household I tested was just a teen and infant but it opened and three times saved with no error message before I closed the game.

[@Noel.Chmielowiec]

Same in my case, probably the same source of DLCs, and everything works perfectly fine. I played for 5 hours and I admit, it crashed once, but I also had more stuff opened at the same time and it was when I was jumping between apps. And I have script mods on, some of them were not even updated. Maybe we found a way to get around those bugs 😂

[@chronicallyfunny811]

Maybe, if that's the case I'm not complaining another bonus to how we get DLCs along with not having to pay an arm and a leg for them. I still have to check my mods post-update but I was in the process of checking them anyway because one was causing issues before the update so good timing.

[@Noel.Chmielowiec]

@@chronicallyfunny811 I opened the game after 'obtaining' Lovestruck and my mods weren't turned off but everything was fine, idk in the long run because I was only in cas and for like 10 minutes in build mode, but nothing crashed or looked weird.

@@Noel.Chmielowiec Hopefully, I had a mod issue before the update probably a UI thing I missed because it was the spot where the moodlets line up that it was breaking. Didn't have the patience to fix it at the time so just cleared the mods absolutely essential for my main save in order to ensure they worked. I'm 'obtaining' Lovestruck now so I'll get them cleared, and actually sort them properly which will make it easier next time hopefully.
