The Sims Team
===Bug Fixes===
====Base Game====
* Plants that are alive and well will no longer emit green “stink clouds” as if they were dead. Translations related to this fix will be available in the next release!
* After enforcing regulations with the Landgraab Power Company, power on a Sim's lot will no longer be unexpectedly shut off when bills are paid in full.
* What an identity crisis! Simmers playing in any language besides English will no longer see the First and Last Name panel blank in CAS for Sims that have selected pronouns.
* Um, wasn’t this supposed to be a group activity? When doing Group Cooking, all Sims will now participate.
====Gallery Server====
* We have been continually reviewing your Gallery profanity reports, which can be submitted through the The Sims 4 Gallery Profanity Filter Feedback survey, and we have been updating the ruleset to allow Simmer freedom while keeping others safe. A couple of highlights include:
** Reducing the strictness of how hashtags were handled when listed in specific orders
** Maxis-created Sims, even from past Sims games, should no longer be prevented from uploading if you choose to recreate one or more
====Eco Lifestyle====
* We fixed an issue where The Dew Collector was not collecting any water. Now, it will correctly collect water, and the water level will continue to rise.
====High School Years====
* Timestamps are now updated properly on the Social Bunny App. Phew, talk about FOMO!
====Horse Ranch====
* While admirable, Sims will no longer express a desire to level up their Nectar Making skill, when that skill is already maxed out.
* Horse Riding now helps Sims lose weight!
====For Rent====
* In this economy?! The maximum available rent value will no longer lower after evicting a tenant during a grace period in 11C Sungai Point.
* Yikes. Now, this is going to require an audit! Landlords who own a Residential Rental Lot and own a business will no longer have fund transfer issues. Transfers from the business to the household will no longer fail, and money will no longer duplicate household funds when transferring to a business.
====Crystal Creations====
* The shawl sweater from Crystal Creations is now visible when selecting a “Fashion Choice” in CAS filters. Please be advised that wearing this shawl did not grant the power of invisibility.
====Realm of Magic====
* What a conundrum! When aliens abduct Spellcasters, they will now become pregnant and give birth to an alien baby instead of a Sim baby.
====Werewolves====
* Tastes like kibble! After taking the 'Wolf-B-Gone' drink, Sims will no longer have a fury glow still showing.
* Updated a series of CAS accessories that were originally showing up for werewolves, even though those accessories were not applicable to werewolves.
====Grunge Revival====
* A texture issue with the chipped nails in Grunge Revival has been updated.
====Poolside Splash====
* Textures on one of the tank tops have been updated to remove some texture bleeding.
====Castle Estate====
* Hear ye, hear ye. All Castle Estate Windows have been updated to show up in the correct wall height categories.
* The arrow slit window has been updated to show that it can be placed on curved walls.
* The “Heraldic Crest of Yore” and the “The Eavesdropping Llama” have been updated to appear in Outdoor Wall Sculptures. Your castle has never looked better!
