I would be very surprised if you could get into trouble for deleting some premades. After all, if you play with them normally and allow them to age, they'll all die sooner or later anyway. San Myshuno has the Landgraab apartments, and they're functional even without the Landgraab family in your game. I imagine it's the…

None of the original premades live in my StrangerVille anymore, yet the story still works. In fact, I don't recall ever having to talk to them at all. The "Talk about StrangerVille" interaction that is required for the first aspiration milestone can be done with anyone you meet in StrangerVille, including visitors from…

Unless the latest patch broke something, they do count. It just takes a while, and unlike with some of the other books, you can't see the progress. Skill books are the only books I ever let my sims read.

Unlike adult sims, children can't be directly told to browse through obituaries on the internet when they're sad. However, that's exactly what a sad child will do if you tell them to look at kid-friendly websites.
-
Congratulations, @Simmingal! :) I'm looking forward to seeing what you and your vampire simself will do with the pack (if you're even willing to share your stories, that is).

After some testing, it turns out that it's not quite the mod apocalypse I was fearing. The sim below is basically "Lady CC": her eye colour and hair and many of her clothes are cc, I used a height mod to make her slightly taller than most sims, and none of it is causing any problems. I should mention, though, that her eyes…

Still nothing but Schrödinger's cats in my library. I'm giving up for now, I'll save the galaxy tomorrow.
-
Only one save for me since I started playing in early 2017, and yep, it's a big one. I made a second save about a year and a half ago, mostly to try out different versions of families and stories from the other one, but didn't get very far with it. My main save is filled with all kinds of different sims, including my…
-
Still nothing for me, no matter what I try. And I don't even care about TS4 right now, I was trying to play Mass Effect. Makes me wonder if other users of the EA App who don't even have TS4 in their libraries are experiencing the same issues. But I'm not angry or anything. (I actually find it rather amusing.) This is…
-
It took me three attempts, but I'm logged in now. The only problem is that all my games (not just The Sims 4) have turned into Schrödinger's cat: They're there and not there at the same time. Sometimes I can click on them, but it only causes an error message. Clicking on a game's desktop icon while the EA app is running…
-
Yes, the same thing happened to one of my spellcasters, too. She would constantly get into public fights with NPCs that were started by them, not her, and her reputation was awful within days. She was also famous, though, so that might have added to it. I've noticed that newly created sims in my game usually start out with…
-
Possibly a dumb question, but I honestly don't know: Why would an update that adds a new life stage break CAS cc for other life stages? I didn't have any cc at the time of the toddler update in early 2017, did that one break everything, too? For past updates, when we got more hair colours, skin tones and makeup sliders,…

Like many others have said, I don't usually touch the genetics, as in the things you can't even change without cheats, except when a couple has too many children that look too much alike, but with my playstyle, that doesn't happen often. There's also the issue that one of my mods (although I don't know which one, or why)…
-
Aw, The Kalino makes so many cute things for pets! Too bad I can't use the polar bear in this family, as my experience tells me that pets and apartments don't get along well (too many crashes while travelling). But I'll keep it in mind!
-
Of course, but sometimes there is no bigger lot in the neighbourhood you want, or it's already occupied. I really wish they would bring back the system from TS2 where we could just place or own lots in any size and orientation we wanted, or at least let us rotate the uneven lots. That's actually a really good idea! Perhaps…
-
That one was such a pain! 40x20... Who even comes up with a weird size like that, and what are you supposed to build on it? It seems like even the developers aren't sure, since we only have two of these weirdos so far and they're both empty, so we, the players, can rack our brains about it instead. You can rotate the house…

I have a household consisting of two friends raising a child together in an apartment in San Myshuno - well, not yet. At the moment they're only in my library, waiting for me to purchase Growing Together so I can explore its features with them. The catch: They're all unageing androids, including the child (@EnkiSchmidt…
-
Seasons is both my favourite and the EP I use the most. There are no activities in particular that I enjoy more than those from other packs (although I really like the customisable holidays), it's just having seasons and weather in general that makes the game feel more alive and complete. And with every world having its…
-
My game could definitely use some variation in jobs, too. As much as I like the pun about "education being undermined", I think Werewolves would have been an even better opportunity to include a functional mine and a corresponding career, because werewolves are often depicted as weak against silver, which is a mineable…
-
Well, they all look pretty exciting, so it's hard to pick. I think I'd go with milestones, because it's something that can affect all sims whether they have friends and families or not, and I've been asking for some kind of memory system for a while. That being said, I hope it won't make loading times even longer than they…
-
The livestream got me a lot more interested in the pack as a whole than I was before. The world, however... not so much. It's pretty, as usual, but nothing new or unique. The two green neighbourhoods look like they were cut from Willow Creek, the more industrial-looking one might as well be part of Evergreen Harbor. And…
-
It says middle child, but I only have one older sister. Enter me please, and thanks for doing this giveaway!
-
@mightysprite Oh, wow! Who would have thought that this harmless life simulation game would ever include such a brutal new death: Impaled through the face by an umbrella! :D
-
I've been saying this for years, and I'm still a little disappointed that Seasons didn't come with a snowy world. Yes, I do know and respect the reasons for this (the developers chose to give all existing worlds fitting individual climates rather than focussing entirely on one new world), but it would have been the perfect…
-
All the time. I've never played a single save throughout all my Sims games that didn't include some version of me. In TS2, there was even an entire neighbourhood inhabited only by different versions of myself and their different families, pets, lovers, and what have you. While this may sound extremely narcissistic, I don't…
-
I don't usually bash a pack before playing it, and even afterwards, I try to keep my criticism civil and constructive. But sometimes, I don't like the things I'm seeing, even while they're still in the making, and having a place to freely voice my concerns can be relieving. If you do that somewhere that isn't clearly…
-
I could do without abbreviations altogether. They always confuse me. As for the name, I think it's actually quite clever, as "Growing Together" can mean "growing up together" (like a family) or "growing closer" (as in, improving a relationship), both of which are themes of the pack. What bothers me more is the name of the…
-
As much as I would like that, I doubt it. Growing Together is a pack about families, the world looks very North American, and whenever I think of families in North America, I think of their depiction in movies and TV shows: a couple with two or three children and possibly a pet living in a nice single-family home in a…
-
I also got the impression that extreme weather was a lot more prominent in TS4 than in real life, especially back in the early days of Seasons. I remember playing with the Goths in summer, and it was basically raining 24/7, with many thunderstorms to go with it as well. It got so bad that I had to avoid Willow Creek and…
-
What the previous posters said. The warning comes up every once in a while, but nothing ever seems to be missing. Which would be strange anyway, because I still own all the packs I ever bought, have never uninstalled one, and 99% of my CC is for CAS, not Build Mode. Also, I often get a wrench icon when I save a build to…
Howdy, Stranger!
