My experience has been the sim will push the ring away or do the hand wave thing they do with unwanted flirt interactions (can't remember which animation) after the other has proposed.
I found out the same way. I may give my sims that aspiration but I don't have them complete it. Now, I use a lifetime aspirations mod and I rarely complete any sims' aspirations. Which feels realistic to me.
I don't own any kits except from Desert Luxe because I got it when it was free. But if you aren't opposed to mods (and aren't on console), Better Build/Buy by TwistedMexi has a kit filter. It allows you to filter by kit similar to how we can filter by other packs. There are also some other really good features in that mod…
If Zoe has/had the Athletic aspiration and completed it, she will have the Long-Lived trait. It takes forever for a sim to die with that trait. In one of my legacies, I gave my sims' husband, Paolo Rocca (premade from Windenburg) that aspiration. He was still alive and kicking when his three daughters were elders. I…
I used to do the same, flirt, flirt, first kiss, boyfriend/girlfriend, propose, elope. But now I take it slow with my sims. A new relationship milestone is reached per season. For example if they start dating in spring, then in summer, they get engaged. Sometimes I'll have them get married in the same season (summer for my…
@83bienchen, I'm so sorry to hear about your spinal issues. I hope you get better soon. Also, thanks for the mod recommendations. I used to use the Have some Personality please but I removed it because of an update and just forgot to add it back.
I think it's been in the game for a long time, if not since the beginning. For me, it usually happens when my sim proposes immediately after a first kiss. I don't know anything about the inner workings of the game or its coding but I see it as a cooling off period.
I checked in my game and one of my households, where both parents with darker skintones have a baby with a light skintone too. I'm wondering if it's the opposite of the bug we had a while back or a mod we both have?
Go for it! There are many simmers who play without mods and enjoy the game. I played without mods/CC for many years. There are two ways you can do both: 1. Just disable mods in the settings. I wouldn't recommend playing a save you used mods/cc in, unless you want naked and/or bald sims. 2. Generate another Sims 4 folder in…
Like many others in this thread, Seasons is a must have for me. I was like you back in The Sims 3. I didn't see a need for Seasons and (as you called it) "set dressing," until I bought The Sims 3 Seasons, and I don't ever want to play a Sims game without it. Be careful of the lightning, it doesn't only strike objects. It…
I have no clue what could cause that except she flirted with someone. I wonder if giving her the loyal trait would fix it? If it were me, I'd want to see where that story goes though.
I feel like the closest two things to random events in my personal game was when my 7D Legacy founder got struck by lightning on day 1. Also, on day 3 or 4, she was abducted by aliens. I honestly didn't see those coming. I mean, I sort of did because I kept yelling at her to go back inside before she got struck by the…
I do something similar to what you mentioned when setting up a game for myself. The good thing about using a save is you don't have to start in CAS unless you just want to make a sim. In my own gameplay, I give all residential lots the Simple Living trait. I like for my sims to struggle a bit, not a full on Rags to Riches…
I originally didn't have any lot traits or challenges in previous versions but someone else suggested I add them. So I think a healthy balance would be to add traits, omit challenges?
@Netzspannung has an awesome thread for outfit ideas. On page one there are links to several post for teen outfits. https://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/956513/netz-a-porter-outfits-ready-to-wear-for-your-sims-no-cc-required/p1
If I remember correctly, that was a bug when HSY first released. I'm not sure if it's been fixed or not. You may want to go to AHQ and see if it has. In the meantime, try checking the calendar and see if there is one scheduled. If it isn't I don't know what to tell you. I've had 1 graduation ever and it went off without…
For rotating, I use two WordPad docs: one for the sims' stats (age, traits, career, likes/dislikes, etc.) and the other for little notes (i.e. "Bella is pregnant (pregnancy paused)", "Hire a butler for the Landraabs") and rotation info. The notes also has whether aging is on/off for a specific round and which rotation I'm…
Mine is stuck at 9% too. I only wish I had found this comment before restarting my computer. Hopefully it works now. Edit: It's working now. For anyone else who might have this issue, if pausing the download and resuming does work, try a computer restart.
I agree, teaching to ride a bike is an awesome feature. In all honesty, I have no complaints about Growing Together as a whole. Of course, I was one who wanted a Generations-style pack since the beginning.
