1) Surprise SDX (June 13/22):
FYI, if you go in your game you will see there is an SDX, this is just to prepare the game for tomorrow’s update, no new content was added per this tweet by the Sims. But it looks like we’re getting meteors to go along with the new ‘back pocket observatory’ (i.e. the new telescope, see below for more information on that!)
II) June 14/22 Game Update
Expected Timing
The usual time for game updates is 10 am Pacific, here’s a screenshot of when that is in a few time zones:
Link for when that will be in your own time zone.
What’s Expected in the Update
A) New Stuff:
1) New telescope
2) Lunar cycles
Lunar cycles affect werewolves (and other occults) more than regular sims, but regular sims are impacted a bit too. Kids can ask about the lunar cycles. You can customize lunar cycles, i.e. their length, freeze it on one cycle and turn it off completely.
3) New beard
Screenshot from livestream, same beard, two different angles:
4) Two new terrain paints
Note new items added to base game do not show with a ‘new’ flag.
B) Bug Fixes from May 31 Laundry list
