Hey Simmers,

After 14.5 years at Maxis, it is time for a change. Thanks for your passion, your inspiring creativity and for always pushing us to make The Sims the best.

Sul Sul!

As you may know, Concept art is a VERY SERIOUS MATTER and we needed to figure out how Yamachan would look in different angles. This is one of our early concepts by Amy Kim xD

If you're having issues with starting up your game after the patch can you try shutting down Origin completely and restarting it? If you're having issues with infinite loading screens when trying to load a save, can you try Repairing your game via Origin? Sorry for the trouble!
