Blah, blah, blah, you can read the rest on the press release linked above.

I like this bit:

All Simmers have experienced the great work that’s come out of The Sims Labs, including the “Apply All” button and the “Occult Switcher” in The Sims 4. We will continue to keep innovating the game experience as part of commitment to building and improving The Sims 4, including the main menu:

Such a pity that "great work" included such "bugs" as our broken bodies and the broken automatic outfit switching thing A.K.A. the "underwear bug"! Such a pity they can't figure out how to fix either of those issues months later, am I right?! 😹😸😿😾👹💀

And this bit:

But wait, there’s more! We’re launching three special new Kits on January 16: the Secret Sanctuary and Casanova Cave Kits, which will include a mix of Build Buy and Create a Sim items inspired by iconic Sims characters, plus the Comfy Gamer Kit, created in collaboration with lilsimsie!

Design a warm, inviting gaming room with personal touches that will offer your Sims a place to unwind with their favorite pastime with The Sims 4 Comfy Gamer Kit, created in collaboration with longtime Simmer and content creator lilsimsie.

Maybe lilsimsie could like, I dunno, ask them to fix their !@#$. Y'know, just give them a lil nudge. "Hey guys, our bodies are broken, have you noticed?"

I'll send lilsimsie an email and ask them to pass along the message, yeah? It's probably too late, but who knows, there's money involved.

What a great 25-year anniversary... 🎉
