    I didn't know...

    They changed into their pajamas but it looks like they don't want the moment to end. :D

    Sims could always sit on the floor to use the campfire, but they would kneel in front of it prior to High School Years.

    It's probably a well known fact that the Holiday Toast interaction fulfills the Have a Drink holiday tradition, no need for a bar. But do you know what else fulfill that tradition? Apple jam! My sim was hungry but wanted to have only a small snack before the Grand Meal later, so he ate apple jam and suddenly the drink tradition got checked. It probably works with all preserves.

    I only just learned that the Werewolves pack comes with a new usable wand that Spellcasters can equip if you have Realm of Magic installed.

    You can gain the Moonwood wand either by using bb.showhiddenobjects or by having your werewolf sim do the following:

    1: Unlock the “Lunar Epiphany” ability
    2: Unlock the “Scavenge” ability
    3: Find Greg’s diary by scavenging in Moonwood Mill (“Enhanced smell” ability helps)
    4: Read the diary until you find an entry that talks of “the moon’s song”
    5: Explore the underground by selecting the Portal Potties or any other entrance until you get the option to “Follow the Melody”. Then “Howl with the music”. You will receive the wand.

    It comes in two colours, and is a dark wood handle with a sickle moon on the end either in red or slightly blue. (I couldn’t find a good picture)

    Thanks, @RySBI, that is very good to know! I was wondering if the wand was actually useable, but couldn't find any information on that. I'll actively try to find it now that I know it's not just a decor item.

    Thank you for the steps it takes. I haven't found it yet but will make sure to have my sim meet the requirements for that wand. Perfect for the story for my spellcaster/werewolf couple. He can find it and give this very rare wand to his girlfriend.

    I finally bothered to screenshot the wand from debug mode so you can see the two colour variations (includes lore from debug mode so watch out if you want to discover it yourself): :smile:

    My Sim went to the Spice Festival recently and I looked around because I heard cars honking and
    what sounded like traffic. I never noticed the highway over the festival grounds or the train that
    pulls into the train station! :D Maybe everyone has noticed but I never did before.

    If you hold shift while adjusting the eaves on a house it only adjusts the side you pull down instead of both sides of the roof.

    You have no idea how much of a headache you just saved me with that info. I've been trying for a week to figure out how to do something with my roof to make it fit and I had no idea you could do that. Thank you!

    I'm not far behind. I found it about a month ago, but never mentioned it because I figured every other simmer on earth already knew about it. I'm usually the last one to the party on these things.🤣

    Did you know that when you shift-click a sim and got into sim info, and through the menu you can add a lot of the traits from the game, plus some from mods? Pretty sure the shift click is just a base game feature. I use it to get the recipes unlocked from the packs. And found it, "add trait/remove trait".
    I don't know of other people know about it already. They probably do. But I only ever heard mention of shift clicking to get the recipes, and recently the pie menu changed. Which is how I ended up over clicking and finding that in the first place.

    If people know already that's fine. But it helped me make sims Chopstick Savvy and Spice Hounds. So they can eat all the foods without failing all the time. And means if I randomly pick a meal thinking it sounds nice, they don't burn their tongues.

    Other traits are there too. Like the one for Sulani Mana and stuff. So if you wanted a sim to be like the estranged family member of Father Winter or something, without having to wait til Winterfest, you have options.
    Only issue is it's not multiselect. So you have to add each one, and go back through the whole menu. But that's not too bad. Especially if you only need a few.

    Want a top notch toddler, but they are starting as a child sim? Or have a teen sim, who missed out on all the benefits of the aspiration rewards. No need to type it all out, just click a few times. And you're good.

    Went to check it out in my unmodded game. Didn't find it.

    Would be cool if it was in game, but unfortunately it's typing for unmodded folks...
    I'll put the link to the list of traits here. After all, there's a lot.

    I think you need to enable testingcheats for shift-clicking to work.

    Yeah for shift-click pretty sure you need testing cheats enabled sorry. I have it set to always be enabled in my game, and to make sure all odd cheats still work. I forgot to mention that part bc now all I do is just shift-click. But I'm fairly certain it's not from a mod. Because when I was trying to remember how to find the recipe unlocks and went to discord for my mod support, it turned out to be a feature of the game itself. It's just that the mods use game features to work. So their traits are also in there.

    Ah, forgot to mention that I've have it on. I even reentered the cheat to see if it appears then. Nothing. Only adding and removing life styles, locking all motive decay, and adding preferences.

    Though when Werewolves game pack came out, people reported finding a new shift-click cheat that allowed to add all werewolf abilities. Went to check it out in my game too and nothing.
    Same story even after reinstalling my game to another computer and after starting a new save.

    So I do wonder what's going on with that...

    That's odd, do all your other cheats work? Like can you shift click the mailbox? I know there was a period where they disabled a lot of cheats for players after seasons, and a modder released something to re-enable them so people could do it again. I think they went back and undid that, but I never took it out of my game just in case. And then eventually added the additional mod so that testing cheats would work always, because I often had the problem of it not working. 3 different computers, and had to use a different "testing cheats" for each one. And even then, there was no guarantee.

    It might be something like that. Your game being finicky, maybe the code that works for everything else doesn't work for shift-click for you. I went and double checked after I saw your response the other day, and shift-click is definitely a basegame feature. Unmodded.
