Today’s update is primarily aimed at preparing the game for the upcoming Nature’s Calling Quest Event, which begins on June 24. In addition, we’ve addressed some issues with the Sleek Bathroom and Sweet Allure Creator Kits, and fixed a particularly pesky routing error impacting fishing spots in Sulani that was called out in our most recent Laundry List.

Happy Simming!
