While I still wish the game offered more traits to choose from, I have to say I do enjoy this new feature. So far it has happened for three different Sims I am playing and the suggested new trait always made sense in context. I didn't accept all of them but I especially enjoyed when one of my Sims - who has been in a…
I took a break, but I am back for the cute CAS in the new expansion. So far I only had time to look into females, but I'll add some for male Sims in the next couple of days. And perhaps other age groups, we'll see. Focus: Growing Together
@LolaLuvsSims thanks for the pictures, which I assume were of the parents. It did help somewhat. Since I don't know anything else about them, I just went by what I think would look good on them. If you find the lookbooks below helpful, I'm happy to come up with another one for the YA, but would be good to know if they're…
@LolaLuvsSims Sims Style Guru, ha! I like it. :D I would love to help give your Sims a makeover, but it would be really great if I could see them. Can you post a pic or have you perhaps posted pics somewhere on the forum? Or are they on the gallery?
I found the request for Y2K fashion intriguing and had a bit of time today to look into it. The easy way to go is colorful eye makeup, lipgloss, hoop earrings and any top+bottom combination that looks like a colorful track suit. I tried to find some not so obvious combos while still putting together some outfits I'd enjoy…
@CK213 The hairstyle she is wearing in my profile picture is from the Eco Lifestyle Pack. Glad to see that Janette was able to make the career change, those can be tough. :D
@CK213 That sounds like a really fun idea! The Sim in my avatar is Janette Dubois and she is on the gallery: https://www.ea.com/en-gb/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/A2F00DB951B211E7809B66564816A8D8 I created her back then to play the culinery career, so that's what her bio says. But I uploaded her unskilled, I…
@Erja888 It's not that I mind posting outfits for guys, it's just that I feel ... let's say, most people don't enjoy my vision of male fashion. :D But you've been visiting this thread for a long time, so I put something together anyway. I actually like these outfits, so if you find something you like as well, that's good…
Thanks for the requests, I will look into those. I do think the 'trend setters' idea is interesting. Trends change all the time, after all. So what I thought I'd do - or what I felt inspired to do - was to put together a little lookbook of what is trending IRL right now (at least in my neck of the woods). Chelsea boots…
@HopeCrash Thank you for your kind words and your request. I had a lot of fun with it. I hope you keep on finding ideas & inspiration in this thread! :)
I was taking a bit of a break from the Sims - which I like to do once in a while - but I'm glad I came back to pick up this very unique and halloween appropriate request from @HopeCrash. I did play The Sims back in the day, but I didn't have Makin' Magic, so this was a bit difficult for me to recreate. I looked at some…
@CarpeNoctemSims No, I never had the issue which is referred to as the 'Groundhog Day bug'. And I do play with Trendi quite a bit. Some have linked it to outdated/unproperly tagged CC, but apparently it also happens in vanilla games. I would imagine this bug to be very frustrating and hope it gets fixed soon for everyone…
First Fits Kit is now available and I was waiting for some more fashionable and up-to-date clothing items for kids, so I got it right away. I think the items are quite nice and have some adorable details. Focus: First Fits Kit These tops have especially cute back details:
It was literally yesterday I asked myself whether the dire state of affairs regarding fashionable clothing for kids would improve soon. The items in the pics look pretty cute, might have to get that one.
Interesting. Now I wonder whether the issue could be with new saves? All of my saves are at least 6 months old (most several years old). Or does this happen in your older saves as well?
After buying HSY I checked several unplayed Sims and none of them had hair growth enabled. I did have a few new Sims span with a body hair preset, but again, hair growth was disabled. Is it disabled by default in some games and enabled for others or is it just random? I have not seen one Sim yet with overgrown hair in my…
A little space in the townhouse for Lily & Kate to remember their wedding. I did enjoy that the wedding topper is automatically added to your Sim's inventory.
That's so cool! I kinda love posting outfits on Trendi. I have this teen living alone that makes all her money that way. I keep forgetting to take pictures of my "creations", but checking the current trends, putting outfits together from the selection and naming them is really fun to me. These are two I did remember to…
Lily & Kate spending the first night in their new little townhouse in Copperdale square. Still needs to be decorated with Lily's paintings, but it's a great location and the house came out pretty cute.
They should resolve it like certain "events" in the My Time series. For example, when I enter a dungeon in My Time in Sandrock, it will tell me beforehand that I will spend 3h and however much Stamina. It doesn't matter how much IRL time it takes to complete the stage, when I leave, it's 3h later in game. Should be the…
Now that the aging bug is fixed, I finally got the new pack and got to play around with CAS! Some of the new items were instant favourites and I really like that there are swatches that are a bit more out there. Focus: High School Years
Maybe Origin is just not as sophisticated as you think it is? I mean, that sounds pretty advanced with all the thinking and assuming and I personally never had the feeling that there were fancy algorithms or well-thought-out marketing schemes behind the advertising. Seems random to me. Origin still "thinks" that My First…
Even with aging off - as long as the lifespan is on "long" - days were being added to the age meter every time I left CAS. I don't know if Sims actually die at some point because I exited without saving because I didn't want to mess up my saves. And I don't have HSY, the aging bug was added to BG. I don't care to play TS4…
Oh, I'm so glad you think it's helpful! I actually started putting something together a while ago, but then I got caught up in how to implement it and considered cross-referencing ... and now I just went with something simple. I might improve it over time, but it's something.
