  • Thanks, considering I'm literally only on one foot -- left one was injuired and got infected which landed me in the hospital. Getting around pretty well with a wheelchair for now, but looking forward to having two good feet again hopefully.
  • I built an Arts Center that has all the skill-building items -- originally had it in Newcrest but lately I've put it in Del Sol Valley where Judith Ward normally lives (I moved her to a fancy penthouse in San Myshuno) because the view is great for painting on the digital sketchpad. My Arts Center (Academy of Arts and…
  • I was in the process of catching up on mod updates from the last 2-1/2 months (when I was in hospital/rehab) but probably should put that project on hold anyway... :/ Thinking of doing a full clean folder game reset; also want to start doing a rebuild of my template save so I can start fresh. I've been inspired to do some…
  • Well the patch won't be out till Tuesday, so I assume the early access will be that day....then it's going to take a while for content to be created especially for people who have lives outside of The Sims.
  • There's still hope that maybe a romance system could be patched in to BG somewhere down the road?
  • I've had my laptop less than a year so it should be able to upgrade -- just haven't bit the bullet yet to try it.
  • I try to graft plants of similar types/seasons together, like all the berries or the Herbalism plants (huckleberry/muckleberry, fireleaf/poison fireleaf, etc.) to save space in the garden.
  • I went with Courtyard Oasis because I really like the wall and floor patterns that it includes, especially for creating fancy bathrooms. Haven't really played much with the two newest packs, other than giving Zoe Patel a makeover to reflect her heritage with Fashion Street in my next template save (next on the list are Raj…
  • If we ever get more pack refreshes, adding a few more recipes wouldn't be a bad thing IMO. Green bean casserole, guacamole (avocados in JA), etc.
  • I don't think there's ever been an option to save as rental -- it's easy enough to place the lot then change the lot type from residential to rental. (If we ever get a Paranormal Stuff refresh I'd love to be able to create a haunted house rental lot...)
  • I'd love to see your Tales of the City Sims! I'm old enough to remember reading the first saga when it was done as a serial in the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper -- one of the girls in my Women's Studies class subscribed to the paper and we'd pass it around before (and sometimes during) class. For my same-sex couples I…
  • Male Sims with feminine frame tend to work a bit better I've found. And I forgot that I do use the clothing preferences quite a bit as well.
  • I use the pregnancy options the most -- sometimes I like to create Sims for story-telling purposes that are infertile, then they adopt children. I don't often transition existing Sims, though I'm working on a new template save and I'm thinking of transitioning Darling Walsh from female to male and changing their name to…
  • I'm working on a new template save, and doing some makeovers (though I hope the lore update won't ruin them). So far today I only did Zoe Patel to give her some of the wardrobe from the new Fashion Street Kit, and give her more of a connection to her heritage. I do like to update premades with new hair/clothes when we get…
  • Good choice -- I've never done official challenges mainly because I prefer to set my own rules. I set my own challenges and go from there. Right now I have my own sort of "legacy" going where I started with a teen living on his own in San Myshuno, married him to a woman he met at Foxbury, and they now have two children; my…
  • MP is my entertainment district -- I have Chez Llama (fancy restaurant) there, plus a bowling alley/nightclub, a bar and a small lounge in case I have any entertainer Sims.
  • A comment on house price -- one of the reasons "starter" houses end up higher than 20K Simoleons is that when people build houses they don't take the value of the lot into account, so a house that might only have been 18K when built ends up over 20K if you put it on a 30x20 or even more if you put it on a 40x30. 🤔
  • I was just able to install the new kits and Gallery is available (your Library shouldn't be affected by servers since that's on your home computer). Maybe try logging out of Origin and logging back in? Also make sure you're not in Offline mode; that happens to me if I have my computer on sleep with Origin open.
  • Did your Sim move recently? If you move and keep all the furniture, any plants in household inventory that hadn't been harvested will have the harvested produce separately (note: if you have a money tree that's a great way to get more seeds, especially if you want to have some to give your kids when they move out). Maybe…
  • Do your Sims have offspring? Pick one offspring, have him/her disowned by the family (use cheats or MCCC to give negative relationships with the rest of the family, or maybe have one sibling still like them), then move them into a cheap San Myshuno apartment and make life as miserable as possible for them. If they're still…
  • I think by "airport fashion" they're going with clothes you might wear while traveling when you might not have a chance to go to your hotel to freshen up at the destination. Maybe you're traveling on business and are going to be met at the airport to go straight to the office for a meeting with some high-powered head…
  • You've obviously got a mod that's preventing you from accessing Batuu -- possibly something you downloaded along with other Basemental mods. Go to your Mods folder, find the mod referenced, then delete it, and go into the main The Sims 4 folder and delete the localthumbcache file. When you restart the game, everything…
  • I'm currently playing a household of 4 Sims, about to be 5. Eamonn O'Meara lived on his own in a cheap apartment in San Myshuno, eventually coming up with enough money to go to Foxbury for a Distinguished Degree in Computer Science. In the dorms he met Irene (I forgot her last name), another CS major, and they hit it off…
  • Usually just one -- but with my current save, my Sim met a girl at University but it wasn't till after I moved her into the household after he graduated that I found out she had a strong Romance bar with another one of the roommates in the dorm. Could have probably played that up a bit but decided to just have her do the…
  • It can take a while to fix a bug, especially if it's something they have trouble replicating; folks can help by sending saves where they experience the bug. Make sure that the save is a vanilla save (remove all mods/CC before testing to see if the bug still exists) then check AHQ for details how to do it.
  • I'll download and place a lot fully furnished, then edit as needed -- if it's a whole lot of editing (or if the lot costs too much for my Sims and I don't want to freerealestate them) I'll place it unfurnished then fill it in as I go along (collectibles, Sim-made paintings, etc.).
  • October is only about 10 days away by my calendar -- we could get another patch early next month, depending on when we're getting the next kit or whatever...
  • Nice for you but for those who can't do so (like console players) this is a good update -- pretty much finishes what they started when they added new door swatches. Hope eventually we'll get some standardization in DLC packs as well.
