Happy new year. It's unusual to see the posts now be displayed as "Month 2022"...

  • My Wedding Stories pack's Wedding Events aren't supposed to have timers and are supposed to last as long as you let it. The goals, although choosable, are optional. Nothing bad will come if you leave some unfulfilled.
  • Nope, then you have reached the limit. Trait swaps count towards self-discovery trait gains. It all depends on the traits your sim has and the category the traits are (I'll include link to my findings). Some make sense, like Evil trait getting replaced with Good trait. Some make no sense (especially as they don't…
  • Ok. I took a look into tuning files, tried to understand it as best as I could, and shared my finding in a discussion. In short: The answer to question number 3 is that it depends. Some self-discovery moments have a special way to trigger it, for example drinking spoilt milk leading to Lactose Intolerant trait. Usually,…
  • My answers to the questions: 1. No, declining a self-discovery moment won't count towards the maximum three. Only the three you accept will. 2. No, you can't. Others have said it will crash the game, but when I tested this out, it didn't crash mine. In addition, you will also be unable to change your sim's traits through…
  • Those pack hangout buildings can be interacted with when your sim becomes a friend of the pack. Becoming a friend of a pack doesn't require your sim to be a werewolf, so even non-werewolves and children can become a friend of a pack. Plus you can become a friend to both of the packs. Once that is done, your sim can use…
  • Depending how you set the aging. You can set it separately for each played type (played and unplayed). Unless you have made them unplayed through Manage Households view, the settings set for played household will apply for them. So it will be off. Stories are only off for played households by default (as these can be…
  • Sometimes fire is glitchy for some reason as sims on fire won't burn, which can be solved by going through a loading screen...
  • Elders' constant fear of death still isn't on the list...
  • Try winter activities out yourself. The last time I tried, it didn't cause overexertion for some reason. And if it does, a strong uncomfortable moodlet will block further activities, so no need to worry about that. Don't know anything about Batuu and elders though...
  • The latest numbers are so:* Short: 7 days * Normal: 14 days * Long: 56 days Though what these lists leave out is variance. Every life stage can be either a little longer or a little shorter for each sim. Thus it won't usually be exactly 14 days. And long lived trait, even though the aging bar won't be affected, will allow…
  • The best part about kits is that I don't buy them, thus saving me money. But I do agree. I do miss gameplay kits.
  • I'll share another fun thing I've noticed. If you have needs maxed out and motive decay turned off, sims most of the time won't do anything even with free will turned on. However, when something needs attention (cleaning for example), they'll go and take care of the problem and afterwards they'll stand and do nothing. It…
  • It's totally uncategorized interaction that should always appear in the initial menu. If it does not, turn on the Traditional Social Menu in Gameplay Settings. An additional fact: Ask to Leave is an uncategorized friendly interaction. Or if you want to send everyone home, there should be an interaction for it when you…
  • That is under Deep Thoughts.
  • What things? Well, yes, the only categories that are excluded for children are décor and fashion preferences. Well, gardening too for some reason. They could have special childhood activities likes and dislikes though...

  • Fear of fire is excluded then... My only other idea is industrial eco footprint... It can also make fires happen more frequently...
  • Indeed... Though activities and hobbies only include skills (and not all of them), I think it could fit in some short of smaller activities category. I have also made a likes and dislikes idea discussion if you're interested...

  • These are only in Gilbert Gardens. I've put together this picture where I marked the spots with red circles:
  • Indeed they are possible, but really really frustrating. I don't know how I got my first one fine, but the others just wouldn't go for some unknown reason. Lastly, I used the bb.moveobjects cheat. It was much easier (be sure to check if the booths are attached by moving the table and seeing if both of the booths move with…
    in Booth help? Comment by EgonVM April 6
  • That is indeed annoying. The special Interior Designer camera helps you to take pictures better, but it isn't accessible outside the career. Unfortunately, I don't know any mods that allows you to move around freely when taking a picture. I do know though that the tripod allows you to rotate around the subject when taking…
  • It won't change anything. It would only allow the sim to try for baby with sims who can make others pregnant and become pregnant from that. Only the set gender binary matters.
  • I'll assume Heron is Foxbury in different language (as Lilith studies in Foxbury when the game starts and Villainy is a distinguished degree there). The weird thing about education path in Sim Profile is that high school graduation is shown as soon as your sim meets another sim, but to discover others' university degrees,…
  • Handiness skill also unlocks one of the brag interactions. Good grades too, but that one can only be obtained for adults when in college. Brags are most of the time located under Small Talk category.
  • I have a strange feeling that it might have been The Sims 3 Ambitions feature... But I'm not sure... Edit. Checked it out. Yes, I found this option in The Sims 3, but didn't in The Sims 4. Could it be possible you didn't have the dream, but misremembered a feature from The Sims 3 into The Sims 4?
  • According to tuning files, no. Only the male and female choice affects it.
  • The object babies are now called newborns. The new infant is a new life stage not replacing newborns, thus aging newborns up will get you the infants. The object baby life stage stays, just now they represent moments after being born and returning from the hospital.
  • Update! Growing Together adds a new fear: Fear of Being Inferior. This is a fear for children only. In addition, children can now also fear the dark. Though why High School Years fears aren't included to them I don't know... Fear of Death for elders still hasn't been fixed...

  • The alien pregnancy thing has been heavily nerfed years ago. At first alien abductions were more common and male sims almost always got pregnant, but now the pregnancy is rare. I don't think the Loyal trait has anything to do with that. Edit. Looking into tuning files, the base chance of getting pregnant is 25. The only…
  • Burglars for sure. I think the anxiety rumors are false as vampire break-ins exist. They could add an option to disable those if they really are worried.
  • That's interesting... Mine did show up when my sim was at home... I'd suggest you go in gameplay settings and enable traditional social menu for some time. That way the Call Over interaction should show up alongside with the main categories (friendly, funny etc).
