It's best (in my opinion) to have only one version up. Unless it's a long time later and you have an improved version, may as well keep up the old version up.

    @Admiral8Q I'm the same way; I tend to upload 3 or 4 versions in a row, mostly because I forgot a window or something in the description. Too bad you can't edit the name and description of the post after you upload it...

    Marvellous you guys rock !!! (so i see im not the only one thats passionate about build mode, im actually thinking of creating Tarek & Christina power couple ingame) but hashtaggin... sounds like alot of work lol, do you have to create a channel for that ? I never dunnit... tbh irl i stay offline mostly, im sorta out of touch by choice really... but recently i did learn to use twitch a little bit since i went to college in broadcasting in the 90s... might be a decent hobby for me. Anyhoo i love Sims and im having alot of fun w all that thanks a bunch !!!!

    Hey @rongtudjuuu , hashtagging can be a lot of work if you make it hard. All you have to do is create your own hashtags in the description of your build. That's it. Pretty simple, huh? :)

    Some, not all, of the common hashtags are:
    #nocc#withCC#basegame#basegameonly#gettogether#cityliving#getfamous#cats#dogs#catanddogs#animals#decorated#creative#nature#plants#natural#sims#teen#adult#nopacks#parenthood

    There are a ton of hashtags, but you can create your own. I would highly recommend you create a hashtag to link all of your builds. In other words, make a hashtag of your TS4 name, so people can easily find your builds without having to search deep in the gallery for your catalog.

    I'm glad you got a kick out of it. :tongue:
    Seriously though, some of the hashtags are pointless, like #nocc. Um, you have to have CC checked to see CC. And even if on, a CC icon appears on any upload with CC.

    See what I mean? See see? CC?

    Do you have MCCC or another mod for story progression? If so, often Sims will have additional children. If you don't want this to happen, make sure to check your settings to turn it off. You can either keep the sister and marry her for her money, or you can delete her if you don't like changes to premade families.

    Malcolm doesn't have a little sister in my game, but he does have a little brother. Nancy wants to be sure her heir has a spare after what happened with Johnny. I added him myself though since I'm one of the few who doesn't like story progression.

    If I may... ask for another tip; in playing offline mode ive had difficulties at launch. When i launched the game from the desktop instead of from origin offline mode, it went fine w/o a glitch, now is there any difference if i do 'run as administrator', because i havent so far ?

    I don't have MCCC (mainly because i don't know how to install it hehe, and i don't know if i have enough space for it), so i don't know how did that happen. I will take a look at their house cause both parents aren't alive anymore shxjsjcjd, i will see, thanks for replying ♡

    Hi! Good day.. Im having ALOT of trouble with ORIGIN, and im starting to get frustrated! How come it buggs the game with a white screen ? I really just go online to get stuff from the gallery and usually when i log into origin, then start the game in the offline mode its fine. But I really would like to play without origin now that i have the combo expansions i want, im not putting up any more money for videogaming anyways so is there a legit way to play my game without having to go online to origin? And if i didnt have internet at home could i still play ?

    ..so i get it that the white screen is a file corrupt deal, how can i know if its the mods (btw should the mods be in the folder mods all together or they can be in subfolders of the mods folder ? ) or might it be some RLD content i had from years past !? im currently trying the 'repair' option ! fingers crossed ... lol

    Mods can go one level down, meaning you can have subfolders but only one level under the mods folder.

    @rongtudjuuu un-check mods and CC in game settings under "other". See if you still have a problem. If not then it's probably a mod. If the problem is still there, then something else.

    ty Admiral ! ... but i couldnt even get into the game itself so i read on google and i was lucky the repair option in the origin librairy worked like a charm so it actually changed my opinion about that part ;) ... & it made me backup my mods etc... and clear my librairy from RLDs ... ...

    I think, at least compared to a lot of the users on this forum, that I'm new to the sims. I've only played sims 4 (got it as a gift when I was 18, three years ago) but didn't really play a lot until quarantine--now I'm back at uni but still avidly playing. Back when I started, though, I knew NOTHING. I can still remember not being aware of what a sim's inventory was, let alone where to find it. All my kids were failing school because I didn't know where their homework was for a while. I'd have them read or practice instruments like, "shouldn't this help something?" to no avail.

    I'm still kind of learning new things as I go. I recently acquired 4 expansion packs and 3 stuff packs like back to back around christmas and during the recent sale (just writing that down is making me reflect on all the money I've spent oh wow) so I'm still learning a lot about the game and what I can do as I go along. It's been fun :) But yeah, if I've got a tip for any extremely, extremely new players it's to figure out the inventory at the bottom right of the screen (^^;) and the motherlode/money ### cheat has helped me get further, too :P

    I'm excited to use some of the tips in this thread for myself though! I'm glad for all the new info!

    I'm planning to start a sim with the Loner trait and am thinking of also adding the Needs No One trait through a cheat. Would I be cheating away anything other then the decaying of the Social bar in Needs?

    My past experiences with sims with the Loner trait is that their Social bar can decay all the way to red with no problems, except that it overshadows other needs till they become a crisis unless I keep the Needs window open all the time.
    The cake is a lie

    I waited 'til it was on special to purchase. But then ended up spending more on expansion packs. Mind you i could not afford all the extras i managed to custimize my game w 3 additional expasion packs and spent a little bit more than i wanted but i do not regret it, this is a wonderful passtime w lots of possibilities and lots of different dimensions to the game, but discount or no discount, this game is worth every Penny ! And much much more ;)

    Glad you like it !

    Idk if you're still having problems but I play offline/online since sims 4 launch (because of varying internet reception depending where I am), originally origin supported offline play fine, but more recently it would glitch and origin would fail to load 70% of the time after playing purely offline mode.. a workaround was to go offline only once origin was launched which resolved it, another way if there's no internet is to hotspot your phone just to launch origin and then turn it off when the game launches
    Also Sims 3, sims 2 are both able to play without internet and can be bought cheap

    Allright yeah ! thanks a bunch, that was really helpfull. Iam currently on a break from playin lol, so far i can last offline about 24-36 hrs with origin offline mode. Now im for the second time its caused me to have to repair the game, so i dunno it might be glitchy pc, glitchy mods, im still on trial and error ! and i do not have a phone so... and instead chose to spend my $$ on cycling again this season but im loving this game as a passtime, and ingame all my real estate is occupied exept my 3 model homes its alot of fun, entertaining sims and remodeling homes lol and so tbh i really admire all the craftmanship these programmers can manage to pile on, the different concepts they merged altogether its very impressive ! so basically im surpirse in spite of everything glitching at how well my almost 500mods and the cars even if very underwhelming still fit in right everything flows, but as for playing offline whenever im confronted with the reality of not having internet connection at all, i will have to cheat and so i might have to resort to ol'school tactics ;)
