The Highlights

🛠️ Base Game & Multipack Fixes:

• Paid Mentoring now actually pays hourly based on Skill Level — no pack limits required! (Get that bag, mentors.)
• You can now zoom in and out freely when picking Bracelets in CAS. Jewelry modeling unlocked. 💎
• Burglars have been politely asked not to steal the unstealable — like your poor toilet stalls.

🐾 Cats & Dogs / Horse Ranch:

• The Pelt Paint Mode position buttons for your furry (and hoofed) friends are back! Strike a pose and get artsy again. 🎨

🏪 Businesses & Hobbies:

• Customer Sims will now properly water your business plants when assigned to gardening tasks. Green thumbs, unite!

• Employees won’t rip paintings off your walls anymore when set to “Scrap Crafts.” (The drama is over, babes.)

• Ghosts have been ghosted from your Small Businesses unless you set them as customers.

• Group Meals now sell for the correct price — because 8 servings should cost more than 1, duh.

• Sims can no longer sneak into your business after closing time. Shoo!

• Candy prices have been adjusted to make your sweet shops more profitable. 🍬

• Tattoos with Custom Content now show a “Modded” label in the Gallery, keeping things clear for everyone.

• Various small business UI fixes, Nordhaven light glitches, microphone disappearing acts, and clothing bugs have all been tackled.

This patch is mainly quality of life improvements, but mod and CC users should always stay cautious — even smaller updates can cause unexpected surprises!
