Changes:

Filter in home store doesn’t work properly

The Bronze Ring Fountain is now available at the template "Scholarly Chateau" (on large lots, only)
This fountain also got the interaction "Jump in puddle"

One thing about the new interface has become very clear with the new Sim Springs event. When placing multiples of any item (as you’re often directed to do during Sim Springs), the home store erases any filters I’ve used, even though my filters are still checked.

For example, placing TVs. In Electronics I filter for TVs and 3-star. Place one TV, go back to home store, and suddenly I’m seeing stereos and computers of all star levels instead of the 3-star TVs I used to see after placement of one. I have to uncheck and recheck the filters I want. It’s really annoying because the old tablet interface didn’t behave this way.

I have just noticed this very thing and it’s super annoying! Very tiresome for those tasks that need multiple items placing so multiple sims can do the tasks. I was really hoping for some changes for the better to this awful interface, instead it’s even more annoying.

I'm using Android phone for playing and in my game filters behave this way since they were introduced. Very annoying but I've already lost hope that Firemonkeys will fix this bug.

Same here, but it was last week, so before this update already. I was hoping this issue would be fixed but obviously it’s not

The fountain from the template "Scholarly Chateau" wasn‘t available right away, but now it‘s there, if you build it on an Ocean View Residence. (It will be unlocked in home store after completing Eco Esplanade in Sim Springs.)

It also got the interaction "Jump in puddle" for Sims from toddler to senior. A picture doesn’t really show the action but it looks funny if you watch them
