Sims 4 Update - Tumblr Posts

Hot fix for Star (Windows) & Aurora (Mac)

In the last update several issues were inadvertently introduced that caused crashes and vertex color problems when working with meshes. These issues have been addressed in both Studio versions.

Both versions also include support for the new CAS texture introduced by EA in the last patch (color shift mask).

Changelogs are in the respective download threads.

Status for Patch 1.107 (New Kits and DX11)

None of my mods require an update.

However, I updated the “Cat Whisperer Career” for DX11: I noticed that the career images didn’t load when trying out the DirectX 11 mode (this is a voluntary option introduced with the patch). Thanks to a helpful tip from Andrew I was able to update those so they show up 😊

Please keep in mind though that the DirectX 11 mode is on a trial run right now and does not entirely support mods, see statement from EA: “While DirectX 11 is available for those Simmers who want to try it, you may experience visual issues with mods so we recommend disabling all mods while using this command line argument.” Using the DirectX 11 mode now is your choice and issues with mods are to be expected.

Updated Animation Override Options in new Sims 4 Studio

Note that in the new Sims 4 Studio the original "Override" option was now split into 2 (also see the S4S changelogs on the download page):

"Override" now creates a real override (same as if you can add with the Game File Cruiser) with the name of the original EA animation. This option can be useful if you want to use or tweak EA poses/animations. Be aware though that a package created this way will probably have some extra content linked like events.

"Blank Override" functions exactly as "Override" used to work in older versions - it uses a renamed blank starter animation with no events.

Anyone else's Sims games so fucked up bc of the new update? I can't place households on lots anymore or they get permanently DELETED

Like this family I spent SO LONG making just poof gone when I wanted to place them in a house, a BASEGAME HOUSE
