  • I've never had an emotional death by accident before. I always thought it had to take a LOT of effort. But I made a techie Sim, and got married to a recently aged-up Malcom Landgraab straight away. I sent them on a 'honeymoon' to Granite Falls and made a nice, modern barn resort for them, with hot tub and pool. Get Famous…
  • Today I found that when the brown RoM island counter is dirty, it seems to switch to the black swatch counter. And when I clean it, it goes back to the brown swatch. Dirty: Clean:
  • You got: Sabrina Spellman (Sabrina the Teenage Witch) Yay! She was my jam in the 90's!
  • I typically do, and it seems to help keep the bugs/glitches down. I already created a new save for RoM, and made a new character. She loves collecting and gardening so I think she'll be great at potions, and already has lots of ingredients on hand. Obviously she'll get an outfit makeover and a house makeover, but she's…
  • I've been a member of this forum for 9 years, mostly lurking, but playing the Sims even longer (I owned Sims 1, played the Sims 2 on my friend's computer, owned Sims 3. I also have the Create-A-Sim Demo that came out right before the Sims 4 was released). Not that how long I've been playing makes me more of an expert on…
  • The live chat guy spent a long time trying to figure out my issue! We ran a tracer to figure out if my location was messed up, which it wasn't - I had a screencap of my receipt and it showed the price in displayed in USD, and the charge displayed in EUR. I don't know much about VPNs but if I had used one, wouldn't it have…
  • Can we pre-order this pack? Not seeing it in my main menu screen when I open the Sims (which is where I normally purchase content from).
  • I prefer the hospital. All their needs are filled up and it helps them start parenthood on a fresh note. My male sim came home from his job and his wife instantly went to labour and gave birth at home, while her needs were all bright red (the "care for self" thing has been so glitchy for me) and the twin toddler needs…
  • D'oh! Just pre-ordered! What an awesome giveaway though
  • I don't know if my gameplay style would suit the progression of decades - I don't always play generationally, and I often ignore the outside world for a long time in my Sim games, so multiple decades might pass before I realise, oh wait lol. Plus the style of the Sims 4 may not be capable of changing town backdrops…
  • When my Sims start out they're usually in a cube with plain walls, one bed, a shower, and a fridge (or the cooler). I don't normally decorate with clutter items until I have enough money to build a proper bedroom/kitchen/bathroom. Then I add some basic clutter, the roll of TP, an (unused) laundry basket in the bathroom,…
  • My gut says beach/island pack, with the island world being part mountains/part beach (or 2-3 islands each with different terrain characteristics anyway). Just the free Caribbean update and now, the free terrain tools, make me think that they're planning ahead for something like that. Retroactively, the terrain tools could…
  • I always do gardening and make my millions with Dragonfruit. I wanted to pull away from that, but then Seasons came along and gave us a gardening career AND flower arranging. So I still give every Sim family a garden.
  • Wow apparently I am in the minority who plays on Short Lifespan. I used to play with aging off, and Long. For years. Now, I'm so done with maxing out all skills, always grinding aspirations/rewards, always maxing out multiple careers and having a sim with millions of simoleons. It made gameplay too samey, even with…
  • I agree with most people re: customising babies, taking them out of their bassinet. Being able to put them on playmats, etc. I wouldn't want their needs to be too involved, mainly because caretaking isn't my preferred play style (I do everything possible so I barely even have to parent my toddlers as is). Maybe keep the 3…
  • The Sims. It had about fifteen discs needed to install it, and one to play it. I lost one of the discs, and then when I changed computers, I couldn't re-install it D: I played mostly with Michael Bachelor, and had him marry... Mortimer Goth? I believe? Michael Bachelor was his friend at first, and all of a sudden a romance…
  • I was waiting for it to go on sale (I just got it yesterday for 25% off). I also don't buy into the hype of getting things RIGHT AWAY OMG EXCITE. I prefer to see how people build/play with the pack (by reading here and watching YouTubers) and seeing if it will add value to my game first.
  • I love this update. It makes me want to build one of those thatched-roof beach huts. I would LOVE a beach world to put it in.
  • 1) How often do you download houses from the gallery? I usually build my own starter homes on small lots, and renovate them and style them as I get more money. But when my Sim is rich, I download mansions and manor homes for them to move into (I struggle to build larger homes, especially making the roof/landscaping look…
  • I love the Sims 4 and it's my favourite game. I spend most of my free time playing it, and have done for thousands of hours and still not bored of it. I don't have all the packs yet - and each time I can get a new one, it enhances my enjoyment of the game more. I don't worry about comparing it to the Sims 3, which is so…
  • I don't go to their homes and play them, or know anything about them really. I do have my sims marry them. I had my own Sim marry Malcolm Landgraab - he had aged up to a young adult and the random 3rd trait he got was Romantic. So they were pretty cute together (though I originally did it thinking I'd get the Landgraab…
  • Loving the romance/WooHoo idea, stealing that, as I dislike romances only budding when I make my sim spam flirty actions towards other sims. I love that clubs make unplayed sims more autonomous - but still within what we, the player, want them to do. And as I was re-reading I remembered The Sim Supply made prison gangs in…
  • Some great ideas in this thread. I mainly use clubs for skill boosts & needs, so I'll set up a garden and start a gardening club (right after I harvest so they don't take my harvestables) to tend the garden for me. Same for painting/fitness/logic. Once I created a cooking & cleaning club and started a gathering every time…
  • Going to play devil's advocate here because I kinda love the cheating angle (and never had any autonomous flirting sadly, I think I micromanage too much)... but the relationship isn't always RUINED after a cheating event. It's just a moodlet that goes away after a few days. I had my sim marry a guy, get pregnant, and then…
  • The Sim Supply found that if you quit and re-join, you're a level below. Then... if you quit AGAIN and rejoin, you're another level below. And AGAIN, you're a 3rd level below. So I think you can go back a few levels, before you choose which branch, and choose the other one? I don't remember if that's exactly how he did it,…
  • Hahah I love this idea! I normally ignore whims but I need to train myself to pay attention to them because I always need more aspiration points! The whim to research vampires, could she do that at the library? Or do you not travel without whims either? Do you have walls/rooms, or just a grassy lot? I need screenshots!
  • I start with the money cheat for certain challenges, like the Bachelorette Challenge I'm doing, because I didn't want them to have jobs, and I wanted them to be in a fancy penthouse with a rooftop pool. Plus I needed money to replace objects that broke so no one had to worry about repairing them, and go on vacations, dates…
  • I am not a youtuber but this idea is really good! Bumping!
  • I can't cope with the high chair - the snacks given to the toddler in a high chair barely fill them up. A proper meal (I drag it to the floor in their room) will fill them up longer. I also have my toddler nap in the early afternoon, so they can get to bedtime without being in the red. They often stay asleep for 2-ish…
  • Yay that seems to have worked! Thank you so much! I took my chubby Simself to the park and she didn't magically lose 60lbs so she's happily fishing now! Thank you so much :)
