Bug Fixes
The Sims 4

- Some text was updated to properly gush about Newborns.
- Take a big whiff; we’re growing trash! Trash Fruit will now properly grow from any pile of trash outside, no matter its source.
- It was getting a little lonely out there! Sims will once again receive calls and invitations from other Sims and NPCs.
City Living
- We all were very hungry to work on this update. But not so hungry that vegetarians would eat meat! Your Vegetarian Sims should no longer grab meals that upset their stomachs when using the “Get Leftovers“ interaction.
- Gelatin Rainbow Cake isn’t Vegetarian?! We’ve updated a lot of recipes that weren’t properly flagged as Vegetarian-Safe – and some that shouldn’t have been flagged in the first place.
Seasons

- Some vegetables weren’t being recognized as vegetables for recipe ingredients! We’ve fixed this; make as many vegetable-based dishes as your heart desires!
- Now your Sims can make more informed choices on if they want to suffer the consequences of eating dairy when they are Lactose Intolerant. We’ve done a large update to food for a more accurate Lactose-Free experience.
