IIRC, in vanilla Cats & Dogs, the strays only spawn in Brindleton Bay, so if you don't go there you won't see them. I have a mod that spawns them in all worlds, though, so I don't know that for sure. You need to keep raising the relationship with the stray for a bit after reaching friendship level before you can try to…
I usually only have my sims adopt strays, where you can make friends and learn the traits before adopting. ...of course, when the cat is right there in front of my sim, AND they've already made friends with it, it's even harder not to adopt!
None of the answers really fit the way I feel. I wouldn't say that my morale is lower than before or that I've lost trust, because my expectations have been rock bottom since well before I bought The Sims 4. At this point, The Sims has been a buggy mess for a very long time. I dip in and out and play when there's a new…
Wow, I had a look through HQ answers and there seems to be a lot of wackiness with OTG power. People who had a power drain caused by items outside their lot, or even on a nearby lot: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Broken-off-lot-appliance-causes-bill-for-off-lot/m-p/9186403/highlight/true#M136357 Some…
I had the same problem, which turned out to be having accidentally dropped an old (like, really old) version of MCCC into the mods folder when I was moving things around. Check your version: 2022.1.1 2022.1.2 is the most recent. Thank you so much for this thread luthienrising. Nice to see another Time Team fan around!
I made an off-the-grid family, and their sole source of income was a sale table outside their house. It was hard work but quite fun. Being able to save up produce, process it, and take it to a weekly market would be great!
I'm surprised that no one's suggested superheroes yet. Strangerville showed they're willing to bring in novel genre elements, and superheroes in general have been pretty popular for a while, now.
Bros being annoying by ignoring everything else to talk to each other about sports? Probably the most realistic thing that happens in The Sims! <-- JOKE
You can like a pack and still find the implementation intrusive and OTT. I love Get Famous, and it has lots of great content, but it's still pretty silly that Judith Ward shows up to my off-the-grid sims' yard sale every flipping day. Sometimes multiple times a day! Doesn't she have an assistant she could send? What is she…
The XP bug is made much worse by having the magical bloodline trait, so if your sims don't have that it might be why you don't see it. Although it does happen under other circumstances, too. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-ROM-Spellcaster-Level-Reset/td-p/8188878…
I know this is a bug, and really annoying in game, but I also find it hilarious to imagine a sage deciding to just up and quit their sage job and become a barista. It's like they're all having a magical mid-life crisis.
To get plants to flower/bear fruit you need to be in their location at 5:00am. That's when the game runs the check on the plants. I hope Judith has fun with her live-in butler :-)
@Wintermist_SWE, if you use mods, I've been enjoying playing my self-sufficient SIM family with Icemunmun's canning station. I can use that to turn harvestables into jam, pickles, etc and sell those at yard sales.
I tried the residential mod, but I just couldn't get it to work. After a short time my Sims would get kicked out of their lot and some other Sim would be on vacation there. If it works for you, I'd love to know what you did. I was so looking forward to Glimmerbrook, because the initial screen shots made it look like it was…
The last house I built I started with two sims as room mates who I planned to have fall in love, and completely forgot I would need two beds at first. One of them slept on the couch for days.
One day Morgyn was going about his business, when he suddenly found himself yanked into the Magic Realm. He bumped into Aine, and she told him that a Maxis playtester had just entered the Realm and it needed to be populated with spellcasters. Morgyn tried to explain that he already had a part-time gig walking dogs in…
I have a variety of saves, but I think my actual favourite is Crazy Cat Lady - single sim, fill the rest of the slots up with cats. Preferably some of those weird strays where you zoom in to look and them and HOLY YIKES WHAT IS THAT FACE???
I only noticed the endless water drinking after I used MCCC to stop sims endlessly picking up books from the shelves to read and almost immediately putting them back again.
Aww, man. I thought I'd missed a whole festival, and there was a Halloween-style festival that I'd completely failed to notice. Then I realised it was a typo.
