Oh, thank you! <3 Just dropped by to update, though unfortunately, events took a turn for the worse. D: Not immediately, though. Summer came and passed by quickly. Aurora earned a couple promotions and raises, the latter of which always come with a juicy bonus payment. In time, she'd built a small hut and bought some…
Sooo, after losing my last Legacy save (that I was even documenting on my blog), I hadn't felt like starting another again until yesterday. My founder, Aurora Cherry, has arrived in Windenburg in early Spring... and immediately posted about it on Simstagram. I decided to get lowkey meta about the backstory. :D She's…
I haven't played in a couple weeks because those have been really stressful for me. Since another game my SO and I wanna play together is releasing next month, I really wanna scratch that itch and play The Sims now. But now I've run into another problem. I don't know what to do in-game. There are no ongoing saves left, and…
I remember that one time I pretty much cleaned out everything by putting my Sims 4 folder on desktop, then launching the game to generate a new, clean folder. After that I put my saves, screenshots etc back in bit by bit. I'm not sure if it would help tbh, but it's really all I can think of rn, since you said you already…
@Diassa You can join SFS even if you don't have anyone to invite you. There's a form you have to fill out, and admins will send you an email invitation a couple days after. It's what I did as well.
Chapter 2 is now available! Bonnie goes to work for the first time, though it doesn't quite go as expected... There's also plenty of strange encounters at bars and public events today. :D Edit: Fixed the broken link. Ah well. :sweat_smile:
I don't know which packs you have and I'm not too familiar with the NSB rules, so not all of this may be possible. ; But here are some of my suggestions: - If applicable: A study group where they do homework together. Not super interesting, but it gets some of the workload done while still getting outside (just pick a…
I started playing Fall 2020, when TS4 happened to be on sale. I've always wanted to play The Sims, but never had a computer that was good enough to run it (or enough money). I still play TS4 regularly, though I've also bought TS3 since. I love both games a lot, and I tend to switch between them depending on how I want to…
I'm also making a save file rn, hope my answer isn't too late! :# Anyway, I suggest using cheat codes instead of having Sims call so you won't have too much time passing in-game. To add a career, open the cheat console and type careers.add_career career name. Obviously you'll replace career name with whatever career you'd…
@Astro Having a general idea isn't bad! If you go in not knowing what you want to do it all, you'll get bored anyway. But a lot of frustration and boredom also often comes from being unable to roll with the things the game throws at you, I think. And as for aging, I don't think it has that much impact on normal gameplay,…
@Bloosmoo Good luck, I hope it works out for you! And if that particular challenge doesn't strike your fancy, there are a lot more literal world-building challenges featured on the Masterlist. :)
@Bloosmoo I think it could help you to try and find a balance between building and Live Mode. Have you ever checked out some of the building challenges like Build Newcrest? Those are a pretty good mix of both modes! Basically, you work towards some goals in Live Mode, and then get to build a specific part of town, then…
Not all of these are strictly related to gameplay and such, so I'm not too sure if these count - please bear with me :# 1. I don't like most of the popular male premades like, let's say, Salim Benali or Caleb Vatore. This of course depends on where you look, but they do appear quite a lot as love interests in SimLit etc,…
If you can and feel comfortable with using mods, MCCC enables the adoption of orphans if the last Teen / Adult in the household passes away! I do wish it was an "official" feature though, I don't like to rely on mods for everything.
Preach. I have been building more as of late, and the lack of matching swatches makes it hell. If only everything had white and black swatches, at least - you can fit those with pretty much anything. Seriously, the most difficult thing in TS4 is matching woods.
I've been working on my own save where I'm rebuilding everything and adding my own families. Looking forward to actually playing it once I'm done, it's still going to take a long while to finish though. :# But once I'm all set, I'll be noting everything that happens in my save. Already feeling so attached to the few…
I feel like I've done everything in TS4. Well, I'm still not sure what exactly you mean - all careers? Aspirations? Have you tried a lot of Challenges? I'll leave this aside (for now) and present some other ideas instead. 1. If you've played other Sims games before, why don't you try recreating your favourite family that…
Aaand it's time for another quick update. This may be the last one before I have to take a break from this save for a while - got some projects that need tending to! I'll be working on the story in the meantime, though. :) Anyway! Shortly before Asher's birthday, Ceri managed to buy a beautiful home down in Finchwick. When…
@NightlyCoffee Thank you so much for your kind words! <3 I've taken a couple more screenshots, and while I haven't written anything in years (and only ever as a hobbyist) I might actually try to turn this into a proper story someday once the save reaches conclusion. :D Which will probably still be quite a while from today,…
Alright, so a lot of things have happened since the last time I posted! Asher's grown into an independent toddler, and Ceri's been getting used to the whole parenting thing. She didn't want her son to grow up in the shabby apartment with that unfortunate signature chalk outline, so she scraped together her savings and…
I like my Sims to know as much as they can about their friends and acquaintances before moving into a more romantic direction - if they're pursuing a serious relationship, at least. Unless... ... it's that kind of Sim, lol.
