Sul Sul Simmers!

Starting with update U107, we’ll be sharing a list of the bug fixes and performance improvements made to The Sims FreePlay through Patch Notes.

The major fix for this update is a glitch that sometimes caused the duplication of babies and could massively exceed the Sim cap, causing various performance issues depending on the device used.

Any additional Sims that were created as a byproduct of this glitch will be removed from players' games in Update 108 (the next update). The most recently created Sims will be the ones affected.

Below are all the other fixes and improvements we made in this update.
