  • I know that if it doesn't auto download you need to go to Home in Origin, click on the Sims 4 image (it will open the game), click the image again (it will open a list of all your games and the status of them). I usually close the game once I get this screen. Click on More and Expansion Packs. Scroll down until you find…
  • @luthienrising I would also like to thank you and the modder community for putting this thread together. It is very helpful and saved me a lot of time.
  • This would make sense as I haven't experienced the bug, but I also have not purchased the Spooky pack.
  • I am not an occult player, with the exception of aliens. To the point where I have never purchased Vampires, Realm of Magic or Journey to Batuu. I am, however, looking forward to a ghost type pack... especially if it means we will finally have funerals and proper burial areas for our Sims. I can see this pack possibly…
  • I actually had a sim randomly break up with my sim the other day and that was the first time it had happened to me. I have two playables in different households that started dating. They both were already 'boyfriend and girlfriend' with other non playable sims. I was playing male sim and a pop up notification came up…
  • I would love to know if there is a mod for this too. I had to move my rotation to Friday evening at 4:59 PM so that my students don't go on probation. Unfortunately this means that I can't get any of my sims to win at the awards ceremony on Sunday night as they don't have any performances, books, art, etc that makes the…
  • There's another thread on the forum suggesting that sims are getting sick, or at least showing signs of illness, more often since the early December patch. Could be connected to that.
  • I use MCC which is also great for rotational play. It allows you to pause pregnancies so your sims don't have babies while you are playing another family. I also keep aging on for only the played household, so my other 'played' families don't age unless I am playing them. To keep the townies and unplayed on the same…
  • The pets are whatever. I find I rarely add them to a family as there are too many issues. Can't go on walks properly, can't scold for poor behaviour properly, the family thinks they need to buy more pet supplies despite the fact the pet has been dead forever, all the pets in the neighbourhood are constantly sick. I could…
  • I find you have to really like the family you start with. My rotational family derives from my long legacy family. Like you, I really only played the one household. I found their lives going by really quickly without much purpose. I also found that I didn't try to play outside my comfort zone in fear of messing things up.…
  • Yes, it works awesome. I am holding out hope that MCC will develop something similar for University so you can pause your sims progress and still maintain rotation. My wish list, I suppose.
  • If you are using MCC you can actually pause the pregnancy before you rotate. I do this all the time when playing my rotation so that the baby has to wait for me to return :)
  • I always take my dog for a walk when living in an apartment. It seems like what you would do in real life ;)
  • I've also noticed this has been happening lately to one of my sims. I thought it was weird that she flubbed the fix fridge scene and was electrocuted when she has level 8 in that skill. Good to know it's a glitch that's been widely reported. Maybe it will get fixed sooner and not later.
  • I've been playing three on rotation for awhile now, but this generation has 4 babies so far, so that number is about to go up. I am a bit worried if I will stay as interested in the play when adding more families into the mix. I find with the three you can still have group meals, outings, etc with all of them. I currently…
  • This happens if you move out a sim from your family to a new lot by themselves. It seems to reset the collections. I have found a workaround for it. When you have a sim ready to move out of the home, merge them to another household instead of to a new lot by themselves. Make sure it is a family that you aren't playing and…
  • I don't think this ever worked in my game. The only time my sims get pizza is if they steal one after their acting performance at the set. :blush:
  • Thank you for the clarification. I think the biggest change will be to move my rotation from Monday's at 2 AM to the Friday at 4:59 PM. What happens if you do go over the 4:59 PM time? I'm guessing this is something you have to watch carefully.
  • I'm sure this is much simpler that it appear :open_mouth: I re-read your post multiple times and I think it makes sense. What you're saying is that for the first term, once you've added all the households you plan to take through university, you only add a full slate of classes for one household and enroll the others in…
  • Anyone played more with this? I just bought University today as I don't have any teen sims ready to go, but it was on half price so I couldn't resist. I was going to wait until someone came up with a good plan for managing the rotational play, even with a mod. But it doesn't appear that there is one yet. I have read…
  • When I'm ready for my sim to retire, I always use the vacation days first. I'm pretty sure they make more money while on vacation.
  • Has any one attempted to use MCC to freeze the university term? I posted the information from the MCC site below about career freezing, I wonder if it will work for University? I don't have any sims ready at the moment for university so I haven't purchased the pack yet. I am kind of holding off to see if someone has a good…
  • Once the babies are born you may have to age them up to toddler, but then you should be able to move them to another household. It's not exactly adoption, but you will accomplish the same thing.
  • I'm still a bit confused by rotational play and university. Based on the comments above, I am under the impression that even if you do play a sim through a whole term and don't enroll them in the next term, there are consequences. Does anyone know if MCC has managed to mod this? I always pause pregnancies with it when I…
  • This awesome! I had no idea. This will make it much easier to identify and navigate the command menu. Thank you.
  • I Do you know where it is in the MC menu system. I looked for it and I couldn't find it.
  • Or get your science sim to make a slimify potion :)
  • I do use a schedule and play each household for a week at a time (changing on Monday at 2 am). I have aging set to only current played household, and activate the aging of the community between my families to reduce the mourning on one family. Currently I have three families in the rotation (hence the topic of this thread…
  • I only have the one save. I actually like watching my sims run around the world doing other things. I also find that my families are more connected to each other than they ever used to be. The worst thing I've run into is that pets are always sick when you return back to their family rotation. There is a mod available to…
  • A little off topic, but you use a mod that allows your sim to pursue a musician career, correct? Would you mind sharing the name of the mod with me?
