Fixes and updates
The Sims 4
- The Digitalistic Sketchpad will no longer occasionally lose the majority of its interactions.
- Style Influencer Career interactions that were causing child Sims to become distorted are no longer available for selection on children.
- Fixed an issue where ghost Sims were unable to use a Book of Life to resurrect themselves.

- “Ctrl” + “5-9” will set a saved camera position.
- Once a camera position has been saved…
- “5-9” keys will smoothly move the camera to that position.
- “Shift” + “5-9” will immediately snap the camera to that position.
- New Camera Position functionality:
- “Alt” + “5-9” will remove a previously saved camera position from the selected number.
- Existing Camera Position functionality:
- When time is paused after initially loading into a lot, pressing either the “~” or “p” keys will now unpause the game, instead of requiring that you press one of the game speed keys to unpause.
- Hotkeys will no longer be able to open various Sim information panels that are locked during the Tutorial.
- Fixed an issue where a Sim could become stuck in the Tutorial if they traveled to a park without taking a vacation day off from work.

- It seems a little egotistical to comment on your own profile…but hey — we’re not judging you.

- If that’s how you’ve made your way to reading these very words, then hello — thanks for stopping by!
