Build 1.70.292 release notes

 * Released on October 28, 2020.
 * This is the initial release of Patch 70.

===Build 1.70.305 release notes ===
 * Released on November 9, 2020.
 * Updates button: No longer present on the Launcher screen
 * Packs/DLC not lighting up icons in Launcher: Works as expected if you are on Origin Beta/"Early Access" release. Will be fixed for everyone in next Origin update
 * Minimized/Hidden Game window makes macOS sluggish: If your Sims window is set to a large(ish) resolution (say, 1900x1200 or more on my Mac - yours may be different) and you minimize, or hide, or otherwise have the game window 100% off the viewable monitor, the the system could get really slow (sluggish Dock, slow text input, etc). This doesn't happen now
 * The .app icon is hidden/invisible: Not any more!
 * Stuck forever in "Finalizing": Not any more!
 * CMD-Z and CMD-Y repeat forever: Now they don't repeat at all. I think that's probably better. Hard to say!
