For sure that plays a role too. A hot-headed sim more easily dies an angry death, for example. I also wonder whether there is a greater risk of some of these emotional deaths if you have more packs installed > more factors that add to the sims' mood. That is a theory I have, at least. And of course, like others write in…
@"Livin in Sim" A photo activity for self-made holidays would be a great idea! I generally miss a little more variation in holiday activities. There wouldn't have to be endless possibilities, but if you for example compare to the choice of club activities in Get Together, the holiday selection is rather meagre.
I play a legacy where I've memorialised heirs/heiresses generation 2-9 by having a family member painting them. The paintings hang in the great hall. At first it looked sort of stylish with the big family portraits, but now it is kind of messy and crowded. :D Think I'll have to move some of them to other walls.
Thanks for the tip, this eventually did the trick for me too (or rather for my vampire sim). Very inconvenient, but better than loosing that legacy point I've been working on since June because missing _one_ aspiration.
@alyssa123 I struggled too to get my sims to die by emotion (playing a legacy so had to have 10 different deaths). The hysteria one I struggled with for generations before I managed it, tormenting my sims with alternating comedy tv, playful paintings, cozy fires, bubble baths, jokes etc, you name it. I finally managed it…
In my game, trash plants are very common and a real nuisance. One thing is on the household lot, at least there I can remove them in build mode. In the nearby area, however, that is not possible. My legacy family live in Hound's Head in Brindleton Bay, and the nice seaside area beside the lot is full of trash plants! 😫
Having paused for years (TS2 was the last game I played for realz), I started playing Sims again (TS4) in June and did so with a vengance, starting a legacy that I am only now about to finish, waiting for the last heir to grow up while working desperately on the few last achievements. I don't know whether I look forward to…
So it is not just me. Highly annoying, as neither of my two family holidays shows up on the day (but is alerted the day before). I am about to finish a legacy and I cannot get the season points because of this bug. 🙄 No known remedy, oh skilled simmers?
The other day as I paid close attention to a sim child playing the typing game on a computer, I noticed there was a logic to the simlish letters and that they actually spelled what seemed to me English words. For example, a picture of a chair and a picture of a car makes the sim type words starting with the same simlish…
This happens in my game too now. I have never used any mods or hacks or anything. I have tried to go out of the game and back in, restart the computer etc. Even if I just pause the game it jumps back to full speed. It totally ruins my game (I am playing a legacy, last generation).😳 Has anyone of you been able to fix it?
Yes, @Vaida. You change it in Origin. Open Origin and select The Sims 4. Select settings and choose Game Properties. Select "Advanced Launch Options" and choose game language. It won't change lot names, but it changes the language in-game.
Thanks for clearing that up, @Cement. Not what I wanted to hear, but at least now I know. I did actually some while ago change all the lot names in Brindleton Bay, where my legacy family resides. Couldn't stand the awkward translations. 😆 Now there's just the rest of the world then...
When I am desperate for an old sim to reach the top of his or her career (playing a legacy), but then he/she is not going to work for like 3 days and dies before having a chance of promotion. This has happened to me several times. When the Reaper comes a family member pleads, and if it works at all, the old sim dies again…
I have the exact same problem, and am playing a legacy, so I cannot cheat. The count was 0 for a few days and I thought I would just give up, then suddenly got up to 1 so I thought perhaps I was doing something wrong, misinterpreting the goal or something. But then back to 0 again...
I tried legacies with TS2 and TS3, but never had the patience to reach the end (also because of slow computer). Now I have fairly recently started playing TS4 after years of not simming, and just went straight for a legacy! Am on the 5th generation and determined to get to the 10th, but ny 5th generation sim, Irma Bandak,…
My 5th generation legacy sim Irma reading to three of her ten (!) children. Edit: Seems I can't post pics from my phone (am away for the weekend), I thought it worked when I inserted the image URL. Sorry! Here is link to the pic instead - I know that is not what this thread is about, but I can't delete my post so trying to…
