The team noted that some issues require extended investigation, so a fix isn't guaranteed for the very next patch. This includes a partial fix for animations where Sims look at phones, though the main eye and eyelid issues are still under investigation.
The developers thank players for their reports, which are crucial in identifying and resolving these issues. They also provided an update on the ongoing investigation into save file issues with the For Rent expansion, stating that they are dedicating more resources to it and asking for additional information from affected players.
