Sul Sul,
Where’s the pool party at? Oh, it’s at your Sim’s place! Welcome to Palm Springs, where the sun shines bright on a retro-desert getaway. Swim ‘til your heart’s content with fabulous floaties or grab some shade on a luxurious day bed with outdoor umbrella if that’s more your vibe. If pastel and palm trees with a side of cacti, is your jam, you’ll love the Southern Cali lifestyle décor rewards. As we head into Summer, your Sims are guaranteed to make a splash in our latest update.

Feel the Force with your very own 'Peace' and 'Power' Lightsaber wall light set, and have your adult male Sim dressed and ready for action in the new iconic Luke Skywalker 'Rebel Flight Suit'. Plus, enjoy the rerun of The Child, ‘Baby Yoda’ statue and our iconic Princess Leia Organa and Darth Vader outfits so your Sims can reenact their classic confrontation and celebrate the 4th!

News
(Shortened from the article.)
Home Store Categories: Your Sims are living it up this update in Palm Springs, so this update we’ve surfaced the ‘Pools’ category! If you haven’t unlocked this feature, it'll be locked/greyed out, but with clear instructions on the requirements and path you’ll need to take to access the 'It’s All Going Swimmingly’ Quest!

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Changes

The "Back" button in Home Store has moved to the upper left corner.
The doors that were two-colored in previous update have been fixed.

Many players can‘t install the update because of „storage unavailable“ although there is. This issue is supposed to be fixed with the coming update.

Yesterday there was a new update, version 5.60.1, in the App Store. (Not sure if it's also for Android.) I don't know what this update is for. So far I didn't find a difference.


Many players are unable to install the new update. Here's the reaction of SFP:

This update seems to have fixed whatever glitch made my game crash since the Christmas quest, so that's something, at least!
