UPDATE: 4/17/2018 - PC 1.42.30.1020 / Mac 1.42.30.1220
Hey Simmers,We have just a few things to share, so let’s jump right into them.
General Issues
The Get Engaged whim can now be satisfied by choosing to propose.
The engagement however will be satisfied only by the whims of the participants.
Woohoo partners will no longer be chastised for sleeping in the Sims bed after woohoo.
Sims that you know that are mixologists, caterers, or entertainers will now be available to hire for Social Events your Sim chooses to host.
Check Toddler has been checked over and should be more reliable when toddler checking.
We addressed some queue dropping and route fail issues that could occur with the check toddler interaction.
Happy Toddler and Top-Notch Toddler traits now count towards the Most Interesting Sim in the World achievement.
We have removed the female preference for holding toddlers in family portraits.
Sims related to the toddler are now of equal likelihood to carry the toddler in the portrait.
The “Debug” style will no longer be an available style filter in the Build and Create a Sim catalogs.
While there was a movement amongst the design community to expand the notion of art, form, style, and fashion, it was ultimately deemed derivative of the work of Mugatu, and his Derelicte line.
Get to Work
Receiving a citation will no longer cause your Sims arms to waive about uncontrollably.
Get Together
Clubs that use the Play Cards rule, can now expect Sim club members to play cards.
Cats & Dogs
The Split Panel Dresser and The Floatin' Shelf bookshelf will no longer allow you to place objects floating behind them.
This does not impact the move objects cheat, but in the case of these two objects they had slots for object placement incorrectly floating in space behind them.
We addressed an issue that could cause an Error Code 131 result upon loading a home where a pet had run away. You should no longer see Error Code 131.
Jungle Adventure
Authenticated artifacts will now maintain their authenticated appearance after being placed from My Library.
Romantic Garden
The Don't Look at Me Monkey Bars has quality score information.
Fun is 7, Motor Skill is plus, and Children are only.
Vintage Glamour
The 16th Century Monte Vista Globe Bar now ALSO has quality score information!
Drink quality is 4, and Mixology Skill is plus.
Laundry Day
DIY Sink and Bai l'Est Galvanized Sink now have hygiene and reliability ratings!
They are 5 and 5, and 5 and 5.
Adding clean clothes to a pile of dirty clothes will no longer prevent the Sims from washing the clothing. And adding dirty clothes to a pile of clean clothes will no longer prevent the Sims from washing the clothing.
Dirty + dirty = dirty. Dirty + clean = dirty. Clean + clean = clean.
However dirty + clean + clean + dirty * clean + dirty, is still dirty.
But, 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 * 0 + 1 = 4
Children will no longer stretch when performing the Sniff Fresh Clothing interaction.
Also, children are no longer allowed to perform the Sniff Fresh Clothing interaction…
…because they were stretching.
My First Pet
The Feed Treat interaction now has a chance of failure.
Anyone see the Wreck-It Ralph 2 trailer?
Just curious… no reason.
My First Pet Stuff Postcards now have a cost between 30 and 60 Simoleons.
We addressed an issue with Living Like We're Young in the Pop Station that was preventing the audio from playing.
It now plays.
audio.
And in conclusion, sleep well woohoo partners, fear not the repercussions of your weary repose.
Thank you for your time, attention, and ability to traverse chaos,
-SimGuruGnome
You only live once make the most of it..:)

Who says that? A bug free game is not possible.
So I ended up watching the Wreck it Ralph trailer after this and I must say it looks awesome and I definitely want to see it...(I enjoyed the original)
But can someone tell me (ELI5) what this means: "The “Debug” style will no longer be an available style filter in the Build and Create a Sim catalogs.

WHAT. (I get the Zoolander reference) but what was the debug style???

RIGHT? Like of all the things... those damn animations drive me nuts... its like the fulfilled sim cheering/clapping of TS3 all over again but I digresss.... at least there is a mod for that, if you use mods: http://www.deichschafblog.de/s4/mod...ag-accessoires/
The first one. You might need to translate to English if you're not German. (I am but I still can't read it that well) I installed this mod and I have not seen one brush off or picking of lint and it's wonderful.

So, there are at least two things that instead of bothering to get them working right they just took them away altogether. It's the story of TS4 in a nutshell
"You can do refraction by raymarching through the depth buffer" (c. Reddeyfish 2017)

For some reason the Insane trait is now called Erratic.

If something that small can throw you into a panic attack, you don't need a game developer to change a word, you need a therapist...

Hm, seems you're right. According to the forums, people did complain about it.
I suppose the new name makes more sense though. The trait isn't particularly much like the Insane trait from TS3, which was genuinely mad, not just random emotions. Would be good if they gave us a new one that's more like that old trait.

ARE YOU JOKING ME
* T R I G G E R W A R N I N G! *
All these triggered snowflakes is why our sims can only do like, 5 things. Like there are some SJW's that say you cannot use the words "mad" "crazy" or "insane" in ANY context; for example
"This traffic is insane" "Fascists make me so mad!" "The price for the Nintendo Switch is crazy". See. No people being labeled. Just situations or self. But that's triggering.
I get not co-opting mental illness by saying "The weather today is so bipolar" or "I'm so bipolar today" because mental illness isn't funny, or cute. But to police free speech to such the degree that these snowflakes do, well, welcome to Nineteen Eighty-Four.

YES. YES YES YES!!!!!!! As someone who used to suffer from panic attacks, I agree. (And they weren't from words)

I suffer from a mental illness and I agree with this.
What next? Change the evil trait as it’s too upsetting? Although technically they should because the only evil thing the sims do is “laugh maniacally” from time to time. Newsflash EA! That doesn’t make a person evil. Unless it’s a cartoon and even then cartoon villains are more “evil” than that.

Someone over on the discussion board for the EA forums actually made a thread about the whole Insane trait name change. And it's already been closed.

"Heightened negative emotions"? OMFG What is life even. Why can't people learn to deal with their fucking emotions, emotions aren't bad, they're just emotions for crying out loud! *facepalm* Have nobody at EA actually seen Inside out? A normal human should have learned basic human emotions at the toddler age, shouldn't they?

Meh
I think Insane implied a much deeper gameplay change that it was. Erratic, now reflects how boring and bland it is instead.
While they're at it changing random shit without feedback, they should absorb "mean" into "evil", because mean is just infinitely better at being evil than evil is.

I guess getting a danger pack is out of the question then. Unless they have a S for Snowflakes rating. Gah! This watering down of TS4 makes me so m-- no wait... that's ableist... angry!

I figured the danger pack was supposed to be JA. I had my sim examine all mechanisms and purposefully choose all the wrong ones and she never died to any of them.
Or any of the chance cards, or the random events (spiders etc) in the jungle or anything. Like you CAN get more dangerous than a jungle i'm sure but........its pretty high up their on the danger scale. Where's it at EA?

I guess they're leaving to up to the modders again
everyone knows that's what a modding community is for, right?
