In this October update of The Sims 4, developers have addressed certain issues that were encountered by players. You must have heard The Sims 4 being criticized due to lack of emphasis given to racial representation and skin tones.
Originally The Sims 4 had an insufficient range of skin tones and the existing ones seemed rather unrealistic. Taking note of the feedback, the game announced that by December players will be able to embrace and flaunt 100 skin tones to celebrate people of all colors.
Now so as to remodel this game, the October update has brought innumerable new changes along with it.
One such is the mending of two hairstyles: the ‘long braided pulled back’ and the ‘Afro medium’. Both the styles will now seem convincing and highly natural because of the improved textures.
Moreover, no new complexion has been added as of now but the existing ones were looked into.
Many of you must have noted that the dark complexions in The Sims 4 looked patchy and blotched. For this issue, the game pointed fingers at the skin detail layer compression.
The complication has now been dealt with but the players will have to run the game on the default ‘Uncompressed Sim Textures’ option in the graphics settings to put it into action.
Other fixes that will be incorporated by the update are:
Sims 4:
- Fixed an issue in which external garbage cans were constantly being filled up when not having Eco Lifestyle installed.
- Sims will now use the dining table to eat again.
- You pay your new bills, all the new bills and keep track of all the bills.
- Fixed an issue in which the message “Not Expanded to Ops” would appear while in Build Mode and would hinder gameplay.
- Had a good talk with Sims that had neglected their duties with their Toddlers. They can go back to Potty Training and Read to Sleep to their little angels.
- Fixed an issue in which Favorited Items in inventory were being reset when editing Lots through Manage Worlds.
- Sims that were transferred to other Households will no longer reset any Household settings like Bed Assignments.
- The Lin-Z Smart Speaker has been updated to now play the Focus and Metal stations.
