  • SOMEONE who gets it. Amen indeed. Thanks. Also, not trying to "hi-jack" a discussion, but I forgot how much people just like to complain unproductively, it really brings y'all together so I will kindly step back and let you take it away, and remember why I left the forums in the first place! Buh bye, now. It's not about…
  • I mean, I think it's weird to have been such a huge fan but to have never tried the Sims 4, which tells me you are assuming you will hate it all by what other people are saying about it despite your own love of all things like it that have come before. As a person who's experienced this a lot, I've come to learn that the…
  • My visits to the forums are few and far between these days and it's been awhile since I was here and I had genuinely forgotten this, (though I realized a few minutes later this was definitely the case as I had already suggested was my guess). My intention with this point was mainly to try to point out the absurdity of how…
  • Long time simmer who just started playing a month ago? That aside, there are places to go to have your problems addressed in a productive manner that don't involve random ranting about a problem I can't really understand. What exactly is happening? Is "plum" being inserted as a filter for a curse word or what am I missing…
  • The things they need to focus on are QOL changes to Island Living that don't make sense....specifically Off The Grid related issues. The biggest glaring issue is the cooking one. It makes sense that you can't cook just anything per usual, seeing as how groceries are automatic in this game from the fridge assuming you have…
  • Heads up: * Toilets/sinks need to be upgraded to Self-Cleaning. This is actually not that hard if you consider that you (should) be doing a lot of fishing (See: Admirals Fish Trap) and get lots of random upgrade parts and your sim has plenty of spare time to read skill books on boosting that skill. There is also a cheat…
  • On my last playthrough with toddlers, I started cheating their needs. I would only do it if I tried 2 or more times to get them cared for the proper way, but half the time (or more) something would just go wrong. Caregiver manages to forget to pick them up. Caregiver stands in front of them checking his watch and waiting…
  • Gallery Sharing: It's been a weird roller coaster in terms of how I play this game, but within the last couple years I got more into the idea of sharing my creations because I loved the creative potential of TS4, but always had tons of mods, so I realized I had to strip all my mods from my game if I wanted NoCC uploads. So…
  • Just as a heads up, this cheat no longer seems to work with the Season's Expansion.
  • This is a year old post but just in case someone else comes along looking for an option....Under "Game Options > Other" there is box to check whether you want to "Enable Custom Content and Mods". I have tons of CC but when I want to upload I have to disable it all by unchecking that box while I am working on the lot. If…
  • The only "trick" I have is to never ask them to do anything besides answer questions and restock, and once the store gets busy I stay in regular mode. You will get to a lot more sales if you don't use either of the fast forward options, it actually pushes the time farther than if you just let the normal speed animation…
  • I am doing the same thing. I would typically take turns. I'd run my shopkeeper into the ground, till she was falling on her face on her way home, put her to bed in time to take the scientist to work.
  • My scientist guy had twin alien babies....I do love the fact that since they use a disguise you can edit their body/face whenever you want.
  • There is a small little botany lab with some plants in it that is to the right of the receptionist. You need to water/harvest them to get the ingredients. You can also just buy some seed starter packs by clicking on the pot and plant what you need, and you do have a build/buy mode available to you, so I believe you can…
  • First of all, berate those kittens. Secondly, the good thing about them keeping customers in any kind of conversation is that it seems to keep the customer entertained, staying in the shop, and I do notice steady increase in the shopping gauge. Make sure you have +Environment items to also keep customers contented. I just…
  • Then yea if that is your starter goal, then put all your living amenities on your Retail lot. Just be prepared to share it all with your shoppers.
  • This is probably because bakeries are so unprofitable. I tried it and felt like I never got anywhere, because the items are such comparatively low value, and after restocking, you've only made a negligible amount of money, since profit is directly based off of the value of the item you are selling. Since you can't really…
  • If efficiency and maximum profit is your goal, at the detriment of the immersive simulation experience, then yes. If my Sim didn't have a family I'd have her spend nights there, and actually I have a couple times. The only downside to that is that you are sort of tunnel visioning into one aspect of the game. The only…
  • You can send Alien babies back to their home planet by clicking on them. Only available as infant. Otherwise I guess avoid any career movies and activities (like stargazing) that increase these odds.
  • I only set employees to Answer Questions and when stock is 30% gone I start to set a couple of them to Restock. I have given up on anything else. We just gotta depend on our own Sim to ring up customers. I haven't yet tried it, but I am expecting to bring a household member to assist with that some time. Will probably make…
  • My sales days are typically at least 10k, but if I pace myself right and follow my routine, I can get more. Just 20 mins ago I think I probably pumped out around 20k on an extended run (my employees maxed out on overtime and I stayed). I actually just recently made a new post for my mini guide. I started off trying to do a…
  • I'm sorry but...this reaction is just extreme to me. First of all, do you sit there and play while your kid just watches you for extended periods of time, long enough to actually recognize who those little sims are? I would suggest go doing something fun that you can both do together for fun simply because that sounds…
  • have you taken the teens to a dresser to "plan outfit" and inspected the clothing to ensure that none of it they are wearing is not CC?
  • Mods? Have you tried to see if the glitch is duplicated in a fresh game?
  • Well I used to preorder but I won't be doing it anymore, mainly because I preorder out of excitement and then my gaming tendencies can change by release date. I am definitely a "lifer" of the sims, but the time spent playing is not always consistent, consecutive months. I tend to play it to death for a couple or a few…
  • @ilovevampires123 I love your siggy, and I after reading the books I always thought that Pitt could have made a better Lestat :P. Also off topic, but if you haven't already you need to read "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter". It's written in such a way that you actually begin to believe a vampire conspiracy was underway!…
  • Was the game an imported save file or a brand new one?
  • Haha IKR?! Thanks. I try to be realistic in my designs/floorplans but that WTH aspect definitely comes into play when I realize..."Hey, this is THE SIMS...if I want I can make it happen!"
  • After much fussing around with figuring out what I needed to do to get a succesful upload and exchange appearance for my lot, I finally had success! This lot has been in progress for awhile, and I was designing it just for myself when I realized how proud of it I was and really wanted to share it!…
