The Sims 4: NEW SLOTS, BIRTH MARKS, SCIENCE BABY, AND MORE! (March & April 2023 Patch Update)

[@javkalrabbit]

my favourite bug has got to be how my teenage sim still gets the playful moodlet... from being a wiggly infant

[@theminegirl3775]

Why do I love it 💀

[@girlygamerdaffne1892]

10:39 Fear of unfulfilled dreams/dead end jobs are pretty annoying to deal with even when you do things they want to do or doing jobs that match their traits. You should turn it off in the settings by unticking the "wants & fears".

I hope that gain/loss relationship implemented something i loved from sims 2, the fact a sims can sees other sim as their friend or even have a crush, while the other may not have the same level of relationship, to have more dynamics and not having a "perfect world where everyone loves each other"

[@Scemoth]

It’s interesting that some people find the new menu easier…I can’t stand it, personally I found it easier when it was in alphabetical order. That’s just me though

[@noodle_water]

Right? I don't wanna search through a whole textbook of sections to find 1 interaction 💀

[@dear_totheheart]

Seriously it’s very strange, they could’ve reorganized the system of conversation collected themes but wish they made it alphabetical too, now I can’t find anything and it takes forever to search for what phrase/interaction I want. For all the things they could improve/fix, they constantly work on what’s not broken…then break it it seems

[@pauaguero6910]

wait, i have been playing the game since 2015 and i am just NOW finding out that it was in alphabetical order 😭

[@indonesianbassbooster5167]

5:30 About the grouped interactions, I feel like this is very useful for newcomers, but for veteran players that have known absolutely well of the social interaction choices, it's a hard transition as I need to know which particular interaction is grouped to. I've known very well of what each particular interaction, especially Funny, Friendly and Romantic, now I have to think whether a similar interaction happen to be in a interaction category that are so far apart

[@williamzeo2493]

Placing clutter without the need of the red shelf was the only update that we need.

[@theminegirl3775]

And fixing dine out? Cus it works properly now

[@ghostflxwer]

I must say, restaurant updates do feel much smoother and better. I don't always play it either so I didn't recognize everything at first, but it is working a little better than the last time I played.

[@docette2015]

I am a fan of the new decor slots on sinks simply because it makes it SO MUCH EASIER to add a soap dispenser of some kind to them! I like that little touch whenever I'm building a bathroom. I would like to state, though, that it appears that if your Sim already HAD the bugged "Fear of the Dark" moodlet before it got fixed, they're still going to get it -- my Victor Sim still gets it on the regular (fortunately it's generally drowned out by other moodlets). Bit annoying.

[@pngvnskn]

Kinda sucks that they gave us BG diaper shelves and decoratives but not an actual changing table lol I know I shouldn't be surprised at this point but it still was a very sucky thing to do.

[@spookyskeletons727]

Yes! A new notification finally! 🔥 It’s nice seeing you post man. Hope medical school is going great! 💯

[@angelofsugarpops]

The fix for the nieghbourhood stories was much needed...I always had to switch off the adopt or have a child for every save

[@theminegirl3775]

I leave it cus it's funny to see how many babies what household has. Or when they adopt TON of pets. I give one of the pets away if the household is full and that sims household does not have children, I just give that pet to a small family

[@Homeminboss]

I want the Sims team to fix the "Time Lag" bug that has been in the game since the game came out(and it may be in the Sims 3) Its when you have too many skills maxed or high level(or it may be because too many traits) and because of that, if you put it on 3 times speed, it would say its still at 3 times speed but the game would be in 1 times speed.

[@theminegirl3775]

I only have it when all of my sims are sleeping. The 3 times speed is weird but other than that, no issues

[@LaylaTheChristmasGirl2K8]

5:29 Yes! I’m very happy that this update came out! Now this makes Finding Social Interactions easier!

[@trinnasith2183]

I love how chaotic sims are in the intro lol

[@KatastrophicNoodle]

Is it cheaper to adopt rather than having a science baby? Cause otherwise the science baby makes adoption a useless feature. Perhaps they could make different types of babies get different trait rewards or something

[@onlyabidoang]

Adopting is 200 simoleons cheaper and it's still pretty useful if you want to immediately adopt kids that are older than newborns. Adoption also lets you have a look at the adoptee candidates' appearance first.

[@KatastrophicNoodle]

@@onlyabidoang That's a bit more than I thought, though it still seems like the lackluster option. It would only take a few mins to age up your science baby to see what they look like and then you can reload a save to get a different one. I just feel it needs more depth yaknow lol

[@onlyabidoang]

I get what you mean, but that doesn't mean that adoption is obsolete now that science baby is a thing. It can be used for storytelling purposes because I'm pretty sure some players consider science baby to be a bit "unrealistic" in a way. Adoption also lets sims choose kids that look completely different to them. It also lets non-human sims who physically can't have babies to have their own kids, like ghosts and Servos.

[@SasukeUchiha723]

@@onlyabidoang to put it blunt, irl people go for artificial whatever or test tube etc means to have their own baby than adoption. So, its a good story-telling tool if they wanna go that route, I personally would adopt in sims and irl (if I need to).

[@onlyabidoang]

​​@@SasukeUchiha723 Oh yes I'm aware of those. I just said that it's "unrealistic" since you get a baby of your own with your gene at the same exact day in the game. But I agree, both can still be used for storytelling purpose like you mentioned

[@Velossitee]

So far the infants are pretty great. It does annoy me that my sim will leave them on the ground while autonomous when the baby is tired... I feel like the A.I. should be updated just a bit to learn better choices? That I could get behind. It doesn't need to be perfect but it just needs to be worked on so that the sims can literally learn shit with phases like skills but hidden. This could be called the understanding/empathy system for cognitive recoding.
