  • You could try the Feedback forums. Either The Sims 4 Game Feedback or the The Sims 4 Ideas Corner. Ideas Corner is probably the better choice.
  • You might try moving to another house, preferably in another neighborhood, to trigger another Welcome Wagon. I also noticed that all three of the new scenarios used my current existing save, without giving me any choice. I didn't really want another active household in an existing save, so I started a New Game, saved right…
  • I thought the scenario might have something to do with the problem but I don't think Unlucky Chef is likely to affect dating. Sorry.
  • Which scenario is it?
  • I don't use mods or custom content, so my solution is locking doors. I set the bathroom door to Household Only anytime I think there might be a visitor likely to play pranks, especially Goofballs. I keep it unlocked most of the time so that other visitors can use the toilet as needed.
  • You might need to quit your current job for the new position to be listed, since it's in the same career.
  • If you don't want to move to a tiny house, you could set one up as a rental. You should still get the benefit while you're renting the lot and maybe even just visiting it. There are three reward traits you can buy from the Rewards Store for boosting skill gain.* Morning Sim (works from 0500 to 1200) * Night Owl (works from…
  • I don't know a keyboard shortcut for this but you could choose a default counter, set the options you want, then go back to the custom content. I'm pretty sure that counter options carry over from one counter to the next. Not quite as convenient as a keyboard shortcut of course.
  • You don't need 10,000 to 15,000 for a "basic bathroom and kitchen." That's probably enough to buy a cheap vacant lot and build a basic house, including a bedroom with a double bed, a bathroom with a toilet and shower, and a kitchen with a refrigerator, stove, and counter. Using just the basegame, you can get a toilet for…
  • Even if you can't make the potions you can still clone them with the Scientist cloning machine.
  • 1) Can pregnant sims attend University? Yes. They can even live on campus if you change one of the lots from University Housing to Residential. That might work quite well for Maritime Manor at Foxbury or Darkwing House at University of Britechester. Still, University is a lot easier if you live off-campus. 2) Can children,…
  • @kusurusu I think you should upload your Sim whenever you are satisfied that she's completed as much as possible. List the exceptions in the comments if you think they really matter.
  • The simplest thing to do is just get rid of the hybrid problem by curing her vampirism or removing her spellcaster status. You're right to be worried about bugs since the game makes no provision for occult hybrids. You can cure vampirism by making the Ultimate Vampire Cure at a bar and drinking it. I think you get the…
  • You aren't limited to one Sim. You can still have up to 8 Sims in the household and they don't all have to be University students unless you put them in a dorm (University Housing type). You don't have to take 4 weeks, either. Almost all my Sims have finished University in 3 weeks for their first degree and just 2 weeks…
  • They could try eating some plasma fruit salad, plasma fruit, and plasma packs. They could also try the Moodlet Solver potion from the Rewards Store. If none of that helps, they'll probably just have to wait until they become Teens.
  • @Valmont The fastest way to level up in the Bot-Savants organization is to ignore the tasks and just talk to one of the other members using the interactions from the organization. That would be Discuss Favorite Utili-Bots, Discuss Scrap Collection Strategy, and Enthuse About Robotics for the Bot-Savants. It's pretty…
  • There hasn't been another patch yet, so of course it's still happening. Hopefully it will be fixed in the next patch, even though it's not on the laundry list, but I wouldn't count on it.
  • There's already a thread at Answers HQ. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Try-for-baby-in-shower-does-not-fill-hygiene/m-p/9177852#M134700
  • @MDianaSims is correct. The Naturalist trait is the reward for Freelance Botanist and it makes you fireproof, which is probably not what you were expecting from a gardening aspiration or from a trait called Naturalist. Naturalist: Sims that are naturalists don't need to fear fire; it won't touch them, and they can…
  • Yes, one of my sims has been growing a bonsai bush for several seasons and I can confirm they are year-round plants. The obvious fix for "too cold to plant" is to change the weather and make it warmer. I don't have the game open to check but you might be able to do that with Dr. June's Weather Control Device and/or the…
  • Did you check the Romantic menu? The "Besties" introductions don't always make the top menu. The quickest way to get two sims to woohoo is with a club. Make woohoo with club members one of the activities. The woohoo/try for baby commands are available immediately and almost always get accepted, and that builds the romantic…
  • Thanks. Added this to my browser Favorites. 👍📌
  • No, you aren't doing anything wrong. Plants only produce harvestables on the lot that's active at 5 a.m. and in the neighborhood around it. If your Sim is still at the job, your garden plants won't produce anything that day. You might be able to switch control to the vampire by clicking his icon at the bottom of the…
  • Yeah, just play chess for awhile.
  • It's been fun reading about your progress through the aspirations. I was a little surprised that you always cured your vampire as quickly as possible. Vampires have huge advantages for a challenge like this and they can complete almost all of the aspirations. I'm slowly working my way through the aspirations myself. I've…
  • Instead of deleting the thread, why don't you share what you discovered? There are probably other people wondering the same thing.
  • If their kids are born-in-game, they should get a bloodline trait. The kids that you make for them in CAS won't.
  • Yes, your Sim can have a career and go to university at the same time. I've had several Sims do this. It works very well with the Acting career if you choose your gigs carefully, so that neither the auditions nor the gigs overlap classes. My Sim usually chose Sunday gigs with Friday night auditions. Work-from-home careers…
  • If your Sims live in StrangerVille, the Men In Black show up right after the Welcome Wagon leaves. The Welcome Wagon in Strangerville is usually several infected Sims, who plant Bizarre Fruit in the planter boxes and also put a few of them in your refrigerator. The MIB remove the planted fruit and take your contaminated…
