Full Release Notes

Major Changes:

• If you have a suitcase in your Sims’ inventories when you travel, they will hold it when you arrive! You can instruct your sim to put the suitcase down by clicking on the ground. To make things easier, non-active sims will autonomously put them down inside after check-in like the NPCs. NPC suitcases will despawn as before to prevent routing issues, but I may add this as an additional setting if y’all would like.

• You can disable suitcases entirely in Hotel Settings. Neither NPCs nor your played sims will pull out a suitcase on arrival.

• Chefs now have a level 10 baking skill to ensure they can complete baking recipes and this should fix the resetting issue mentioned in the previous list of known issues. Chefs in existing saves will shift change the first time you reload a hotel after updating.

• Many more recipes are now available in the Kitchen Menu builder! Including desserts and appetizers, as well as the waffles from Home Chef Hustle. I made a pass through all the recipes again to hide extraneous ones including the special potions and serums that sims should craft themselves. You will still see some duplicates of EA recipes so make your best guess on the right choice from the thumbnail.

• The Designated Buffet Table setting can now be found under Set Hotel Surface Type as Continental Breakfast Buffet to make way for more surface types in development 😉

• Laundry for NPCs is temporarily disabled until improvements are made to the washer/dryer autonomy. It’s not at the level I’d like. I’d also eventually like to offer Laundry Services by the hotel staff.

Fixes and Improvements:

• Started prep work for Sim Perks to release in Beta 10 October Early Access update.

• Added “Reset Sim Location” cheat interaction to move the sim/pet to a spawn point outside. Useful if they’ve been locked in a room or are stuck in an non-routeable location.

• Fixed household Sims not spawning on lot if you’ve saved the game at a hotel before checking in to a room and reloaded the game/went into manage worlds and returned.

• Fixed exception when staff attempt to perform tasks without owning Dine Out.

• Fixed internal mod systems including Rooms/Doors not refreshing when toggling between Live Mode and Build Mode.

• Fixed subrooms inside staff or guest rooms not being recognized when using archways.

• Support for multiple exterior guest room doors has been started. Only one primary door should be marked as the Guest Room Entry door type.

• Fixed Quiet Hours not toggling stereo and tv states.

• Lighting in indoor common areas will now dim during Quiet Hours (this will be fully customizable in the future). Staff rooms will switch to auto-lights if the 24 Hour Services Hotel Perk is not active.

• You can can now toggle which electronics and lighting are synced with Quiet Hours. All objects are synced by default.

• Improved staff speech bubbles to match their task when knocking on the door

• Stove ventilation hoods should no longer count as an oven/stove hiring extraneous chefs.

• Chefs will now cap out at 3 staff members. The third chef will be hired with 4+ stoves.

• Fixed Chalk Séance Circle (special paranormal investigator object) interactions not working at haunted hotels.

• Improved staff calling Fire Department when they see a fire.

• Staff hired from objects using StaffMemberSituation or TendObjectSituation like vendor stalls, cafeteria station, make up chairs or wardrobe stylists will be given temporary access to the Guest Room they are located in if necessary. This does not currently work with entertainers hired from the Piano or other entertainment objects.

• Improved door searching to allow a greater depth of rooms i.e. An entry room leads to main room, leads to bedroom, leads to private bath, etc. The max depth is currently 10, but you may need to reconsider your life choices at that point.

• Improved room/bed searching to connect rooms accessible by stairs/ladders. This will allow multi-level guest/staff rooms! Make sure the additional level is private and not accessible by doors from a common area. Note: Elevators are not currently supported, but I would like to be able to make these lockable and work as entrances to guest rooms!

• Added confirmation dialog to Check Out Early from the phone.

• You now have a chance of food poisoning if you have the Dine Out pack.

• Guests at hotels will now only autonomously swim in the pool/ocean in cold weather if they have the Cold Acclimation trait or the Geothermal Lot Trait is active.

• Special thanks to Deaderpool for helping fix this issue: Added work around to “IndexError: tuple index out of range” exception that could occur for MCCC users when a Concierge receptionist stops tending the bell due to their shift ending. This is a bug that EA needs to fix.

• Fixed drinks ordered through room service not arriving filled, and Sims should definitely now drink it!

• Player laundry situation has been increased to 6 hours before it automatically releases the washer and dryer. You can always end the session early by clicking on your Sim.

• Fixed sims not in your household who traveled with you not being included when you check in to the hotel.

• Uninvited sims in your household standing out on the street when you travel to a hotel in the same neighborhood will be sent home so they are not pulled into your vacation.

• Porters are able to pick up their assigned platter again and continue their delivery task when reloading the game or traveling.

• Fixed Chef Continental Breakfast tasks not restoring recipes properly when reloading the game or traveling in the middle of preparation.

• Room service food is no longer free for the Night on the Town holiday tradition, get out and explore the restaurants outside the hotel! Discounts will be provided in the future with Sim Perks.

• The Kitchen Menu builder now includes pricing and the recipe description. The Order Food picker descriptions have been forced to display a single line to prevent glitchy picker rows with long descriptions. The hover tooltip should now display the correct recipe info with the full description.

• Chef tasks will now reassign if the staff member is no longer available on load, and the new chef should be able to continue where the previous chef left off.

• Chefs can now grill ordered recipes if there is a grill in the staff room. If there is an issue with the recipe they will use the usual grilled cheese fallback.

• Added a workaround to exceptions that occur when a chef attempts to cook a misconfigured CC recipe. They will gracefully fallback to grilled cheese.

• Fixed Home Chef Hustle Pizza Oven and Waffle Maker being deleted from the world when used by the Chef.

• Fixed an exception when clicking on the Séance Table while the Haunted Hotel Perk is not active.

• Removed kneeling Sense Volatility interaction from the Séance Table.

• Disabled “focus” on Concierge receptionist tend interaction so they don’t stare at the bell when engaging with guests.

• Housekeeping will stop mopping puddles after 5 attempts in Guest Rooms so they don’t get stuck when there are broken plumbing objects.

• Housekeeping should no longer pick up dishes outside of their assigned guest room when performing room service.

• Fixed animation exception that could occur on load if a housekeeper was saved while vacuuming.

Issues Currently Being Investigated:

• Some sliding doors are not consistently working as entry doors (specifically the snowy escape ones have been reported).

• Porter food delivery tasks are canceled randomly during gameplay.

• Laundry autonomy needs to be improved.
