Hey — it’s Mila 💚. November’s looking tidy, practical, and decidedly useful for builders. Expect stability fixes, new kit drops, and a handful of free items that actually matter. Ready? Let’s dive.
🛠️ November 4 — The Big Quality-of-Life Update
- 150+ bug fixes — routing, UI, and performance items that actually affect builders.
- Free Build/Buy & CAS items inspired by West African design (textiles, earthy palettes, texture-rich pieces).
- Lighting and rendering improvements that should help renovated lots look and load better.
⚠️ Mod & CC heads up: Big updates = higher risk of mod breaks. Back up your saves, disable mods on patch day, and re-enable them gradually after you confirm they’re safe.
🧩 November 13 — New Creator Kits
- Modern Retreat Kit — clean, minimalist pieces, great for sleek microhomes.
- Garden to Table Kit — rustic planters, outdoor dining touches, and kitchen bits that scream hygge in the yard.
💡 Why this roadmap matters for builders & MMVA readers
- Builders: smoother snapping and fewer lighting bugs — less fiddling, more designing.
- Storytellers: new West African items = great opportunities for heritage/family legacy stories.
- Modders & CC users: test before you trust; updates often change mesh behaviour or hooks mods rely on.
🏡 MMVA plans — what I’ll be testing
- Run the update on my Straud Mansion renovation.
- Build a Modern-Meets-Garden microhome using kit items (teaser coming!).
- Post a Patreon guide with CC safety steps and pre/post update screenshots.
🧭 Quick checklist — before patch day:
- Backup your save folder (Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/saves).
- Export your favourite lots (.trayitem) and keep them safe.
- Turn off mods before launching the patched game.
