    To add to what Yautjagirl said above, there's a fertility massage from spa day and I think an Elixir or Fertility with Outdoor Retreat from herbalism. And if you're not opposed to mods, MC Command Center has options to input how many babies you want (not sure if there's a max) and has an end pregnancy option as well.

    If your new to the sims I would personally recommend watching Vixella, Clare Siobhan, Fantayzia they all do amazing lets plays/series, build challenges, CAS challenges (create a sim).

    OMG! I'll never forget when my sim put the baby sim on the grill. That was insane.

    When your Sim gets vacation time from work or school, how do you access that?

    Also, sometimes my Sim just stands there like an idiot and no matter how many times I give a command, they won't do it.

    You can call work a bit before work hours and ask to take a day off or you can take a vacation (also through a phone interaction) and it'll automatically take your vacation days, if you're staying out in work days.

    Hi there,
    I have an odd question that I'm wondering the answer to. I'm not sure where to post it, so I hope here is okay.
    I have a sim who has had multiple boyfriends who have (mysteriously) passed on and she has their tombstones in her inventory. What I wanted to ask was will those ex-boyfriends (now tombstones) be able to remain in her inventory, or will they eventually be released to the spirit world, and eventually lost?
    Can a sim keep a sim ghost in a tombstone in their inventory, for as long as the tombstone is in their inventory, or not? Or has anyone else wondered about this?
    Sorry for such a strange question but I was hoping that she could keep them around, uh, albeit, dead??

    The tombstone can stay in the inventory forever, but the spirit will be released to the spirit world (deleted of the game). But you can place the tombstone at home or in the garden and then click it and choose "strenghten the connection to the world". This way you can avoid they been deleted..

    When you're trying to beat the Mansion Baron aspiration with a super-expensive house you don't actually have to try that hard. Randomly around the lot, I put the rest of the windows and columns I didn't have (my house was huge and expensive anyway I swear). Then I put down a bunch of cabinets. Then I put down about 20 of the S10,000 Ghostwriter computers to finish up on top of the cabinets - they are one of the most expensive items in the game, and when I switched back, all of my Sims qualified because of my secret basement room.

    After doing this and qualifying, I then returned to build mode and sold the excess furniture and columns back again at full price.
    Prepping a list of mods to add after Infants are placed into the game. Because real life isn't 'nice'.

    As @telmarina said, you can place it as a tombstone on a lot then strengthen their connection to this world. You can also place it indoors anywhere as an urn to do do the same thing. I sometimes put the urns on the mantle of fireplaces.

    I found out that when you do "Shift+click" at a random spot on the floor, it gives you the option to teleport!

    Squee! Sul sul everyone, I am so happy to be part of this community. I've literally played sims since I was a wee lil' girl and now I am at the ripe age of 24, still spending my $$ on this game. No regrets, though. Anyway, I honestly didn't know what my first post should be about -- so I've come (like many!) with a question.

    I am trying to build up a legacy on my sim. She is a business woman (Angel Investor and everythin') she is getting raises every other day, she is a 3* celebrity, AND a writer (yes, yes, she has even been recognized by Starlight Accolades about a sad book she wrote after a friend passed, I AM TELLING YOU I AM INVESTED). She is also a social butterfly. If that is not unrealistic expectations, I don't what is. Anyway, if she can do it, I am happy for her.

    Now, since she has started writing, I've gotten it in my head to write really descriptive...descriptions for her books but the word limit is INSANELY TIGHT. Do you guys have any tips/cheats as to how it can be expanded? Maybe it cannot, in which case I will be sorely sad... Thank you and I look forward to chatting with more of you!

    P.S. In this gameplay, Mortimer Goth passed away (RIP Morty you shall be gravely missed), BUT before he did so, BELLA AND HE had a SON and the SON is named OCTAVIO. So I am wondering whether that was planned by the Sims team? I literally gasped when I saw the toddler at Ophelia Mansion or whatever the house is called. Okay, okay, that's all -- PEACE!

    Greetings! I am a new Simmer and while I haven't played the Sims in a long while, I am thinking of returning to it real soon. Right now, I am in another game and want to complete it.

    Hi, everyone! I'm a long-time Simmer, been playing since I was a kid with the Sims 2, but I'm only just discovering this forum. I've been getting really into building houses in the Sims 4 and trying to do speed builds for YouTube lately. Might get back into legacy challenges. I did a LOT of those with the Sims 3 until I owned the whole town lol

    how do I edit my profile picture?

    When you post more comments, you become a member instead of a new member. Than you will have more options, like add a profile picture or start a new discussion.

    Also, sometimes my Sim just stands there like an ❤️❤️❤️❤️ and no matter how many times I give a command, they won't do it.

    Mine does that too. I go to manage world and then go right back and they are unstuck.

    When you build, the traits for the house, pick on a lay line, it's a picture of twins. But don't pick the dark lay line twins unless you want vampires. And there is a very fertile trait you can buy with sim points.

    Hello my name is Charla. I'm new to the Sims 4 but have enjoyed it so far and look forward to discovering more. I'm currently not well sadly - not Covid thank goodness - an infection in my stomach and bladder, I was in hospital on Monday and let out on Tuesday night but think I'll be back in tomorrow as still in lots of pain and not feeling very well. This time I'll make sure I take my laptop so I can do some Sims playing.

    Nice to meet you all!

    Welcome and get well soon.

    First patch Day with mods- what do I need to do? I've heard I need to do something (take out all my mods and reinstall, but how and when?), but can someone please spell it out for this newbie? Thank you!
