Todas las Novedades de iOS 18.1 Beta 2 y iOS 18 Beta 6

Apple se encuentra en la fase de pruebas tanto de la versión beta de iOS 18 como de su primera actualización, iOS 18.1. Recientemente, se han lanzado las segundas versiones beta de iOS 18.1, iPadOS 18.1 y macOS Sequoia 15.1, junto con las sextas versiones beta de iOS 18, iPadOS 18 y macOS Sequoia 15. Estas actualizaciones traen consigo una serie de novedades y mejoras interesantes que vale la…

V.1: Silent Pines, 1998 Special Credit: Silent Pines is heavily inspired by and uses a very similar style to the stunning @windbrook savefile by @folkling, the gorgeous portsim savefile by @florwal, and the amazing builds by @moonwoodmillz. Thank you all for your hard work, I take a lot of inspiration from you all. Silent Pines is a base-game only save file inspired by Life is Strange with 3 major worlds, a whole new set of townies, and a complete mystery to solve.

Version 1 contains;

Willow Creek as Silent Pines

13 Community Lots

3 move-in ready homes for your sims

A total of 9 houses, 6 of which are filled with townies

18 households with jobs, story, and drama

A complete mystery to solve (should you want to)

DOWNLOAD, INFO, AND SCREENSHOTS BELOW

I used S4Studio to rename all the worlds, and I've decorated all the neighbourhoods with T.O.O.L. As I said before, Silent Pines is completely base-game friendly, absolutely no packs or kits are used. There is some custom CC, mainly posters that add to the story. The CC is one package file and adds nothing other than some customisation to the story. It is not required.

For example the missing poster of Cleo Emerson, a girl who disappeared under mysterious circumstances;

SPECIAL THANKS Thank you to my beta testers @theemodernsim, @authorspirit, @acuar-io, @aridridge for all your help! You've been amazing and I really am very grateful. And thank you to everyone who has liked, reblogged, followed, and generally supported Silent Pines. It means the world to me to be able to share my work with people!

DISCLAIMER: There have been reports of the 'build mode item missing' message popping up, especially in the downtown area. I've tried to fix this to the best of my ability, and I hope it's alright! Also, if there is anything I should fix or have left out, please let me know. Thank you for your patience <3

ALSO: Due to the Sims 4 being a broken game, I really don't recommend playing Silent Pines with Rental Units, in case the T.O.O.L objects up and disappear lol.

Silent Pines is heavily inspired by Life is Strange, the Windbrook save file, florwalsims' Portsim save file, as well as the hazy nostalgia of the late 90s and early 2000s. I hope to see you all soon for V.2!

The Mystery Update A more comprehensive outline for this update will be coming soon, but essentially it will contain;

Hopefully the fixed Harris household

More mystery clues to make the mystery more engaging and easier to solve

Better and complete lot descriptions

Love from, Silent Pines.

me: 1, apple: 0 (PSA to anyone else who hates the IOS 18 update/photos app update- there IS a way to revert it)

PSA to anyone else who fucking hates the AWFUL new ios 18 apple photos app UI: I managed to revert my phone back to EXACTLY how it was prior to the update WITHOUT losing any of my stuff (I had been running IOS 17.7.2 prior to the update). Here's what I did:

1.) I had an iCloud backup from BEFORE updating to 18.1.1. This backup was from when my phone was still on 17.7.2. You can still undo the update without a backup, but you'll lose all your stuff/your phone will be wiped. 2.) I went here and picked my phone type (iphone 13 pro in my case) and then downloaded the most recent ios BETA version (17.6 ver 3 beta)- it has to be one of those beta versions, because apple keeps their beta versions signed longer than other versions, and there are no longer any versions of IOS prior to IOS 18 that are still signed. You can't install unsigned versions via itunes, so they're useless. 3.) I downloaded the 17.6 ver 3 beta file to my computer 4.) I opened iTunes with my phone connected 5.) I right-clicked on "Restore iPhone..." button, and selected that 17.6 ver 3 beta file from my "downloads" folder 6.) I let it restore/factory reset my phone & it downloaded IOS 17.6 ver 3 beta to my phone because I selected that file in step 5.) 7.) It finished resetting it and then I SET IT UP AS A NEW IPHONE and i did NOT click the "partial setup," button because THAT button took me to a screen where they were going to force me to update to 18.1.1 AGAIN 8.) After setting it up as a new, blank phone, running on the IOS 17.6 ver 3 beta, I went into my iPhone settings, went to the software updates section, and updated to 17.7.2 (it gave me the option to update to 17.7.2 instead of 18.1.1- this is where the little loophole is, because the 17.7.2 file is no longer available for download online/is no longer signed, but you CAN still update from 17.6 to 17.7.2 from within your iphone settings) 9.) I updated it to 17.7.2. This would be your final step if you don't have an IOS 17.7.2 or earlier iTunes or iCloud backup to restore from. 10.) You can only restore from an iCloud backup during the setup process- so, I factory reset my phone AGAIN, but from within my phone settings this time (instead of using iTunes like I did when factory resetting & installing that IOS 17.6 version) 11.) During THIS setup process, I didn't click on the "partial setup," option, and then just clicked on the iCloud backup option after declining the "partial setup" option, and it restored from my 17.7.2 iCloud backup without forcing me to update to 18.1.1 12.) My phone was back to how it was right before the update! I then went and shut off all of apple's stupid "automatic update" features, made sure that it CANNOT update without me going out of my way to update it, because apple has LOST automatic update privileges with this vile, wretched IOS 18 photos app update. 13.) If you are going to do this, I recommend you do it as soon as possible, because even though the signed 17.6 beta was available, and even though I could update to 17.7.2 from within my phone's settings, there is NO guarantee how long this option will last, it could be gone tomorrow, it could be gone two days from now, it could be gone an hour from now.

14.) I suggest Apple stops letting their UI devs reach into my mind while I sleep & use my nightmares to design their UI, because I don't really think there's any other explanation for how that mess was perfectly catered to piss me off & make the photos app unusable for me.

iOS 17.6 is Out! - What's New?Apple enthusiasts, rejoice! iOS 17.6 has just been released to the public, and it's available worldwide for everyone using an iOS 17 supported device. This means that if you have an iPhone XS, XR, or any model up to the latest iPhone 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max, you can now update your device. To install this update, simply go to your settings, then to General, and select Software Update. However, if you are on iOS 18 developer or public betas, you won't see this update since you are on a newer version. Downgrading to iOS 17 from iOS 18 will require a Mac or Windows computer, and you can find a separate video tutorial on how to do that in the description of the original video.Update Size and InstallationThe size of this update varies depending on your device and the version you're currently using. It can range from 1 GB to over 6 GB if it needs to fully reinstall the operating system. Now, let’s dive into what’s new in iOS 17.6.Key Updates and FeaturesSiri ImprovementsOne of the notable changes is in Siri’s settings. To find these, go to Privacy and Security, then Location Services, and scroll down to Siri. In the previous version, 17.5.1, the title read "Siri and Dictation," but now it simply says "Siri." Additionally, there is a new option to "Ask Next Time" or "When I Share" regarding location access. This update, though minor, reflects Apple's ongoing efforts to refine user experience.Find My EnhancementsIf you are using an iPad with Apple Pencil Pro on the latest iPad Pro or iPad Air versions, there's an update within the Find My app. You can now mark your Apple Pencil Pro as lost, which prevents others from adding it to their Apple ID if they find it. This feature provides extra security and helps return lost items to their owners.Beats IntegrationFor those using Beats products, new support features have been added. When you open your device near a Beats Pill, for instance, you’ll see new animations and additional features. There’s also an update that allows you to change the duration of press and hold on Beats under accessibility settings.MLS Season Pass and TV App UpdatesThe TV app now features updates specifically for MLS Season Pass subscribers. The main page has been updated to include League Cup information with standings. Additionally, if you go into an individual team, you’ll find more detailed information and interface changes. These updates enhance the viewing experience for sports fans.Photos AppIn the Photos app, the recently deleted section has a new message when you attempt to permanently delete a photo. It now clearly states that the action cannot be undone, ensuring users are fully aware that the photo will be irretrievably deleted.News App and Live ActivitiesWithin the News app, if you follow sports teams, a new update shows a live activity for upcoming events. This feature provides real-time updates on your home screen and lock screen using the dynamic island or live activity.Contactless PaymentsFor users in regions where contactless payments are supported, there's a new notification about changing the default app for your contactless payment card. This feature might primarily apply to the EU, reflecting regulatory changes.Messages and Apple WalletIn Messages, a new update informs you if a message is from an unknown international sender. Also, if you use Apple Wallet and have filed for bankruptcy, the app will notify you if your card is locked due to this status. This feature helps users manage their financial situations more effectively.Charging and Moisture DetectionA new message has been added to notify users if moisture or water is detected in the charging port. It advises disconnecting the charging cable and letting the port dry for a couple of hours. This detailed instruction helps prevent damage to the device.Podcasts and Legacy ContactsThe Podcasts app now features a splash screen highlighting the latest features, including transcripts and search capabilities. Additionally,

there are updates to the wording for setting up legacy contacts, making it clearer for users.Family SharingIn Family Sharing, there’s a new button to accept or decline sharing invitations. This updated interface simplifies the process and enhances usability.Bug Fixes and Performance ImprovementsThis update also addresses several bugs and improves performance:Storage Optimization: Many users have reported that iOS 17.6 frees up storage by clearing cache data.Notification Issues: Notification problems from previous betas have been resolved.Bluetooth Connectivity: Issues with Bluetooth headphone connectivity have been fixed.Alarm Bug: The alarm bug, which affected the sleep/wake alarm, seems to be resolved.Standby Mode: Issues with editing clock colors in standby mode have been fixed.Screen Time: Apple acknowledged screen time issues, which seem to be resolved in this update.Battery Life and Device Temperature: Reports suggest improved battery life and cooler device temperatures, even in warmer environments.Security UpdatesApple typically updates security patches shortly after releasing a new iOS version. For the latest security updates, keep an eye on Apple’s official website or check the linked description in the original video.BenchmarksiOS 17.6 shows impressive benchmark results. In Geekbench, it scored 2,927 for single-core and 7,337 for multi-core. These are some of the highest scores recorded for iOS 17, indicating significant performance improvements.Should You Install iOS 17.6?Yes, it’s highly recommended to install iOS 17.6 for the latest security updates and performance enhancements. Users have reported smoother performance and improved battery life, making it a worthwhile update.If you’ve discovered any new features in iOS 17.6, feel free to share them in the comments below.
