You can also remove a Sentiment through the cheat by typing -100 instead of 100!
Hope this helps!
Yes it does thank you so much. I play on very few cheats and limited mods and im sooooo lazy, and sooo picky lol ! I'll use any shortcuts i can to make my gameplay fun and entertaining..... i didnt know a whole lot about sentiments its a new chapter of learning, didnt get into the calendar yet lol so i needed this as safeguard for my special Sims... I really appreciate the link this is really helpful ! Ciao !
What I wish I have known when getting started is that backing up your saves is very important. I lost my legacy that I have put so much time, love and effort into when I was freeing up some space on my old computer and I still miss them until today :'(
Hello everyone. Missed this forum. Cannot log into my old acc for some reason so I guess along with a whole new simming journey I'm also starting a new profile on here.
Well I wish I knew how to reset a Sim when I started playing. This would have been so helpful!!!
I am amazed at what the possibilities bring to everyone. When i started i did only building for... i wont say how long..... because i couldnt even play a Sim. lol
I wish I was better at building! I've been playing for yeaaars and I can build a beautiful looking house from the outside... but then I have no idea what to do with the inside. The layout, the decor, everything. It's so frustrating! Other simmer's builds on the gallery have been a godsend.
Look for some books you can use. Like house floorplans and decorating books with pictures to get ideas.
I apologize if this question has been asked before, but has anyone found a way around the effects of the "tragic clown" costume? I have a Sim that the costume would be *perfect* for, but I'm really tired of the costume making him cry incessantly and automatically applying hideous makeup over the makeup I already chose for him.
Hi, I'm new I already posted on another newbie thread, but it looks like a much older one. Anyway, I'm still trying to figure out how this forum works. I'm excited to contribute to Sim-related discussions ^_^ I just got the Island Living pack today (I'm very stingy with myself when it comes to getting new pack, so I don't have many) and I'm vicariously living my best life, building sand castles on the beach rn haha
Also, I was wondering if there's a part of the forum where Simmers just casually chat about their gameplay? I'm super interested in how other people like to enjoy this game. Thanks!
Can child sims no longer drown in the game? I recently saw a video claiming this, and when I tested it in my game it does seem that children won't drown (the child was in the pool for several days with zero energy).
I know drowning was broken but a patch around the release of Island Living, but was under the impression it was fixed by a later patch.
I tried googling for answers, but couldn't find anything. Is this a bug on my end or has drowning for child sims actually been removed?
> > Next I realized I take a ton of screenshots (pictures) of my sim family. I had over 1200 pics in my save folder. That made my game lag as well, probably the most. Sooo, you guessed it, had to clean it up! I couldn't dare part ways with the photos, they're memories of my Sims existence. I invested in a external SD drive and transferred the photos and saves on to it. That was my very best investment as far as better GP. I was able to remove the excess saves and photos and store them is a safe place for later use. Clearing up that space improved my GP by far! >
I love that! I had an extra SD card from college, and I use it almost exclusively for save files. I had no idea the pictures might be slowing me down. I will def have to move them :)

Empty lots can make a world feel kind of empty, but that doesn't have to be the case. The Gallery has a lot of builds in fill in the empty lots. I'm very OCD about how everything looks like from Manage Worlds. It's very important to me that the houses are made specifically to look cool in a neighborhood. The Library has some really good houses to place in your worlds. Some of the lots are only available to place after buying the corresponding packs.
I recommend buying Paranormal and Tiny Living. Each stuff packs costs $9.99 USD. The price is totally worth it! If your budget is pretty tight, just wait for them to go on sale. EA has the packs on sale several times a year.
After buying either of these packs, clicking on a world will trigger a pop-up saying: "Would like to place the lot now?" I recommend placing the lots since they are amazing! Duplantier Dwelling was built-by Doctor Ashley and is the best house she ever built, but that's because she was contracted by EA to build the lot. EA has a lot of restrictions for the lots the are shipped with the game. I personally like EA's restrictions.
Placing the lots have made a huge different to each world, as you can see from the before and after pictures. Pendula View and Bedrock Strait are now full neighborhoods and the houses look cool together in each neighborhood!
Just a little tip when buying packs: Make sure it's worth it, meaning you like it and you'll use it. An example of this is how I want the parenthood pack. Im not sure about the general view on it but personally I would get it because I like gameplay that helps form a character and I commonly play with children and teens, so I'll enjoy it and I'll definitely be using it!. But before you get a pack, please watch a review on it or at least read up about it. Also do what others have been suggesting: Buy a pack online when they are ON SALE. It's not unusual to see a pack on sale so take advantage of that.
P.S. Im not a new simmer, I've just only made an account on the forums & this is my first post :D.
One thing I wish I knew when first started out was Facebook groups based off the Sims 4. You learn alot from Simmer's all over the world & in groups is the easiest way ( I have found ) to do just that. Every day I learn something new & I've been Simming since Sims City!
I've got more tips. Reach out to those in the community! Find a group that fits your style/fits your vibe & enjoy sharing what you do in the Sims world with others. Find a Youtuber/Twitch Streamer you can enjoy watching & learning from ( my personal favorites are James Turner & Sims Grown on YouTube ). Have fun!! And live your best Sims life!
Yeah ! Thats so cool i can validate that lol, my city now with the latest pack i got (Windenberg and Mt Komorebi) after filling up my newcrest neighbourhood w all builds from the gallery ! TY TY TY its been a blessing ... im so immersed into the simcity aspect of the game, brings me back to my first game on Amiga ! And now im having an overload of real estate and theres no vacancy, i mean no vacant lots, vacant houses maybe a couple ! Personally im not comfortable enough w gameplay to buy seasons or even try eco ! Seems a whole nother set of parameters to handle, not ready yet... im having a hard time w heaters at mountain top as it is. lol BUT, there is a big bug, i have done research on the Mt Komorebi bug, and since i bought it i havent been able to the climbing excursion, not from the phone, nor the bathhouse. Any advice there ? its the only problem i couldnt solve so far... i can live without ! but id like to see the top though ....
wow! im sorry *newsflash* i found this https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-SE-Excursion-Onsen-Lot-shows-as-generic-Llama-pic-Breaks/td-p/10386190/page/34 i read a little bit, cant read all of it but i found something, someone describing exactly what happens to me when i try it, in the ea bug fix report somthing a link i found randomly !!!! lol sorry fellas, thanks for all the work !!!!!! .. Soooooo i did like they said, i started a new game, it had to be a new game from scratch and i put in play my latest save from my library and went up top, it worked fine, ( recorded it ) and i deleted that game lol i just dont want to have to re-install all the lots i placed on my 9 turfs, and the players i got in play, like i cant re-place my population, it would be like deportation !
I know I am a little late but I have been playing the sims since TS1 I would say first make your own sims this will give you more of a connection with your sims family also try building your own house. don’t expect it to be as good some of the houses you see on You Tube I only started building in TS4 and I am still not good and I got the game day 1 I would also recommend getting a few GP’s and EP’s ( Cats & Dogs an Sessions are good ) don’t stress about building it comes with time enjoy.
> @EA_Mai said: > I'll start! :) : > > Building can be a bit scary at first. It takes some time to learn how to get the best of the game’s building tools so don’t get discouraged if your houses look like giant boxes or the roof is not quite how you were hoping for. Practice makes perfection!
Thanks for the encouragement! I've been struggling with building. I usually end up giving up and using houses from the gallery :(

The Gallery is a great stepping stone into building because, unlike online videos, (don't get me wrong, they're another great learning tool) you can hide walls, adjust your view and really dissect and study how the person built their creation in-game. You can also build onto them as you learn.
One way the videos come in handy is by showing you tips and tricks you might not know about. Like, I learned you can press Ctrl+F while placing floor tiles and it'll change what you place from square to triangle pieces, allowing diagonal lines. I now like to do designs in the flooring on almost every one of by builds. I'm not an expert by any means but owe a lot to other players ideas for insight.
The more you learn, the more fun and rewarding building becomes. It's my favorite aspect of the game.😁
Here's what I've done with just that one trick.
How your Sims builds show your meds' effectiveness
...huh, i have had a little hurdle using the lots from the gallery; moving objects ! I dont really know how to use that cheat, its not something im considering using, (i got my specific set of cheats lol) ! so i have beautiful lots from the gallery, impressive stuff houses well designed but for some reason i cant use them when they have all sorts of things piled on top of each other. Most houses i can manage to remodel, deleteing everything and making everything functional for my Sims. And oh also i had a reflexion about the Mt.Komorebi bug ; since that pack is a separate pack (its a 'separate' app in the control panel from sims4) and so saved games dating prior to that instal will prolly always fail, even after re-installing the whole game, which i did when i transfered data to my new pc, i had the Snowy pack already. So im hoping there is a fix, or that somehow snowy escape can be merged into the sims4 system at some point.

You can press Ctrl+Shift+C to open the line for entering cheats. First and most important one is testingcheats true. Then, enter bb.moveobjects. You may not like using cheats but this one is important when downloading from the gallery, since a lot of builders use it.
Supposedly, they just updated the gallery to fix this problem but that's all I know.

Have you tried the carefree trait?
