Carl has a summary here of all the new free features: https://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/patch-notes-island-living.php


The fishing skill updates are pretty big. Seems at first glance like a lot has changed:

Fishing Additions:
Brace yourself, we’re about to cast you into a deep dive…

    We added several new interactions to allow players to fish in different ways and interact with other Sims around fishing activities.
    Sims can perform a few new Fishing-based socials to gain useful info (via UI TNS/Notebook) and push NPCs to Fish.
    Fishing is now joinable.
    Improved fishing interaction tuning and autonomy to make the interaction more efficient and fun.
    Upper skill levels now provide more meaningful rewards, with new Interactions added to Fishing skill levels
    New high skill cast interaction “Angle for Big Catch” increases chance of getting rarer fish.
    New high-skill VFX visuals on Rare fishing spots.
    Ability to now “Mentor Sims in Fishing.”
    Fishing UI has improved information, including Notebook info with Bait information.
    Tuning for fish that can be caught is unique per world & more fishing spots added to some of our previously shipped worlds.
    New bait preference system applied to most existing fish that modify catch chances.

The update on my (Mac) game is being....weird. It works great except there's no doors. All of my doors are gone and I can't add them back without an error message. Could be CC or mods, but I got rid of all but MCC.

They broke Vampires again! 

Enough complaining, anyway, I just tested out the new "Clothing optional" lot trait and found it highly amusing because I'm childish like that, now if only there was a way to get it on residential lots ....  I'm kinda hoping someone makes a mod for that

They toned down Fans reactions to Celebrities, thank plum for that, it was driving me BONKERS! I actually saw it in action when Judith Ward showed up at the pool and it's definitely a lot better than what it was! Celebrities are supposed to show up less often at community lots too, I really hope this is the case because I was seriously thinking of turning to a Mod in desperation.

Hey did anyone else catch the Fresh Prince Of Bel Air reference the devs snuck into the new patch? I spotted it right away!

With part-time jobs available to adults (and older), I wonder if it means a sim can use these for the "reach level 3 in 3 careers" criteria of "nerd brain" aspiration. Sounds like a way to cheese it - go with two part-time jobs at once, get them to the third rank, then either one or both and replace with a third part-time job or a full-time job as the third.

[scoed]

Yes that works, in fact you can do part time jobs as a teen and they will count towards that aspiration when they are old enough.

[Sindocat]

That's actually really useful.  Once I settle on a career, I generally like to continue in it, and I know that Renaissance Sim is going to be an Aspiration I use a lot, already.  If I can sort of pre-clear the requirement with part-time jobs, that will definitely save me some qualms.
