  • This is how I always play. When I make a sim to start a save, I literally randomise everything and force myself to keep the results. I prefer to play with an empty lot and no money so a house gets built along the way. And I play by using wants, wishes and whims across the games. I recently went back to playing the Sims 3…
  • Hey all, I'm using mods that have been cleared but something isn't right in my game. For example my sim went to the romance festival and the goal to paint a painting randomly completed. Then she introduced herself to someone and instantly got the hurt sentiment. That person suddenly flipped to angry so I added him to…
  • I am currently in the process of making a mod that does this in-game. Very simple little mod that overwrites the future cube to allow it to be used to generate goals. At the moment it tells you how many children, marital status, career and generation goal. It also has random goals that can be rolled whenever you want. The…
  • I made a community space with the four different seasons festivals from Sims 3. You use the eco lifestyle cheat on the community board to set it to whichever season and each festival has been designed to suit the season. The only limitation is your sim needs to live in the same neighbourhood as the community space festival…
  • Eh, I love lifestyles for the most and if they annoy me I just remove them. Most of my Sims are healthfood nuts though get this, a sim with wellness 2 unlocks the sugar free coconut cake right? Simple living lot trait says the sugar free coconut cake is NOT SUGAR FREE! It requires sugar to make it...I feel personally…
  • @JustMeAlb unfortunately there is no grand meal or cake for birthdays that don't require cooking! Other than those occasions though my sim lived off fruit salad. Sadly he has passed on now (not from setting himself on fire surprisingly) and with the new generation the lot traits were rerolled and the cursed trait is gone.…
  • I have really struggled with the Sims franchise until recently. I've been playing since I was 16 in 2000 (yep I'm old now). I recently tried to play the Sims 2 again but it's been so long, I can't even remember how to play and I just can't get used to the graphics, yet I used to play it obsessively! Sims 3, there is so…
  • They are going to use him as a living donor! Still gives me hope that my sim family might eventually produce a child that isn't an alien, into gen 4 now and despite marrying non occult sims, babies are always alien!
  • I love raising toddlers in the Sims! When they are infants, I always have my sim feed, then cuddle then coo and usually by that stage there is a dirty nappy to change too. If there are twins or triplets, I have my sim do this to all of them even if only one is actually in need of something, it keeps them all needing care…
  • @BreeMiles I use most of the mods Pleasant Sims recommends, so career overhaul, period/attraction, first impressions, talents and weaknesses, SNB Bills and quite a few more! A little summary of the first two generations: Meredith Ogle was my founder. She got a job as an astronaut but because of the career overhaul mod,…
  • I am on generation 3 of my modded random legacy and I'm fairly confident I will reach the full ten generations. The mods I use have helped so much in keeping me interested.
  • I am reading along, I read all of book one and I think I have some sort of weird crush on Vlad. Send help.
  • My Sims are nearly always poor, I hate having rich Sims so 50000 is way too much. My current sim is trying to eek out a living against mods I use to give then realistic salaries and paying for utilities, entrance to community lots and so forth.
  • Yeah it's a bug, most people seem to get it with super Sims that have a lot of skills and reward traits. I think there is a bug thread on the answers forum and someone said it's to do with the financial reward traits.
  • If the sims 4 actually had random, exciting, shocking, awesome things happen, it would probably be my dream game. Instead us simmers have to try to force it to happen which, you know, kinda takes the random out of it. Anyways, none of my sims get an easy life. They are all expected to start with nothing, no selling from…
  • Let that be a lesson for your poor simmies! If you don't vote you cant complain :D (Sure I can hear that being said in my mothers voice). I was blogging a challenge and forgot to vote, so ended up with a ton of screenshots of bag headed sims. Doesn't make for good story telling!
  • Yep this happens in my game then the sin suddenly teleports to where they were headed. I'm used to it now and thought it was intentionally done to speed up Sims getting about in bigger world's.
  • Oh thanks all, I wasn't expecting that much of a response, much appreciated. I was talking about Sims 4, I played it constantly when cottage living came out (made and played my own challenge with it too). Anyways, I found a challenge I want to do and spent some of last night modding the sim stats so I can easily keep track…
  • Read all chapters to the end and just wanted to say you are a very talented writer. Your writing style reminded me of Terry Pratchet, one of my fave authors. Fantastic.
  • CallMeKevin is my fave youtuber, his Sims 2 play is killing me just now but I love pretty much all of his stuff.
  • @Gordy try turning off the eco lifestyle stuff in your options if you have this pack. I discovered the sun rays from Henford on Bagley being green was causing my computer serious lag. If turning off the eco settings doesnt remove the sun rays (it does for brand new games but not for games already started) turn eco options…
  • The rock climbing wall, dangerous challenge did not DEFEAT me! It may have taken my sim being burnt to a crisp at least fifty times and developing the adrenaline junkie lifestyle but she eventually did it. Despite having summited mount Komobri with gold like a sim week before. Stupid dangerous rock climbing wall challenge.
  • You didn't happen to use the crystal crown thing did you? This happened to my sim when she used it. Anyways, I fixed it by removing her from the family then adding her back.
  • I guess it depends on how you are playing your sim. I currently have a rags to riches sim in henford on bagley and I decided I would accept any likes or dislikes that pops up when playing her. As she was miserable for like the first two weeks, she disliked gardening, singing, fishing, handiness, fitness and dancing. I…
  • The game is too easy which kills it for me. I make it harder to keep me interested. At the moment I am playing an extreme rags to riches in henford on Bagley. My sim can only make money by selling to the garden shop stands, so no selling from inventory, no careers, no collecting or painting etc. Pretty much just fish and…
  • Never had a problem with attention, I make sure all my chickens have a friendly treat then socialise away and they all gain from it, once the bar is full it seems to go down super slow after that and those golden eggs start pouring in. Every so often I have to put the chicken coop and chickens into household inventory then…
  • Huh, I quite enjoy the festival's. I like the snarky comments the other competitors make, usually bake a pie at the pub to submit, buy a cross-stitch and let my sim create away whilst watching the other festival goers. Someone usually gives my sim a finchwick favor and I have discovered there are certain favors you should…
  • If you sleep in a tent or on a bench in bramblewood overnight, strange mushrooms will spawn the next day which will give you a random mushroom when picked. This is where you get spicy mushrooms. There are usually strange mushrooms growing near the gazebo type feature near the ruins.
  • I never bother with sinks in my house, ever since I tried the 100 baby challenge and realised it wastes like 10 in game minutes for a tiny hygiene boost. Also drinking water all the time and needing to use the toilet constantly!
