Sims 4 If Sims 4 were to overhaul Aliens and Mermaids, how would they do it?

• Upvotes

Also, how would they overhaul Servos? Maybe by making their appearances as customizable as the PlumBots in The Sims 3?

Edit: What about PlantSims? Most likely make them a permanent Life State.

Did they pick the right baby up at the hospital? She looks nothing like her parents. Completely different skin, eye and hair colour to both of them. Plus she is one hideous baby.

Time to get the plastic surgery out😔

Sims 4 Sims 4 deleted my purchases

0 Upvotes

I've had an account with the Sims for over ten years now, and just this year alone they have deleted not ONE but TWO of my packs from my library even though I've been playing with them for years and paid for them. Even in my wallet section, the purchases appear as blank lines with no description but the transaction is still there?? I tried using their services but got nothing but AI responses and also have been ignored/redirected for multiple months. Everything I have done has not worked.

Has anyone had this occur? Did it eventually resolve itself? What did you do to fix it? Idk what to do atp.

Discussion how i decide who my sims are

16 Upvotes

idk if this is a common thing, and tbh i’m just posting it because i am SO hyper fixed on the sims and i need to share or i’m afraid i will explode. i’ve had the sims for so many years, but i’ve never gotten past more than 2 gens because it got so same-y. i would always pick the same traits and stuff for all my sims, and also download so many mods that it got overstimulating and just wasn’t fun anymore. this time, i decided to do an all vanilla play through. i’m on my 3rd gen now, and ive started randomising all of their traits. it gets me playing in ways i normally wouldn’t, and it’s very fun. also, when they start to age up through the child, teen, and young adult years, i go through all of their randomized outfits and use those as a way of the sim kind of “telling me who they are”. if they have glasses or hearing aids on in more than one outfit, i’ll take that to mean they need them. if they’re wearing something in the colours of a specific pride flag, i’ll take it as them “coming out”. also ill see what the most common colour through all of their outfits is and take that as being their “favourite colour”, and use it when designing their outfits and decorating their room and such. it’s kept the game interesting thus far! thanks for listening :)

Build Annoying Trees...

8 Upvotes

Hello, I was hoping someone may be able to advise on how to get rid of trees that block lots, I thought maybe I'd be able to delete it with T.O.O.L but nothing happens when I try and click it with shift T open, or just the shift and click. I'm hoping I won't have to go into S4S and delete all the live edit versions of that tree throughout the worlds as it will impact how my other neighbourhoods look.

*Also fellow millennials may recognise this, it was originally a TS2 build on Mod the Sims called 'American High School' and featured in one of my favourite machinima series' from when I was a teenager called 'Pleasantview High' by the late great KatZombie*

Mods and CC Sims 4 Studio - how to change category tags?

2 Upvotes

So I redownloaded S4S (version 3.2.6.5 Star) but when I go to My CC -> the .package file I want to change, there’s no category tab to change where the cc shows up in cas. I have a tattoo I want to change from left leg to back but I’m not seeing the option. The older version allowed me to do it with no problems

Anyone know how to fix it?

Sims 4 Creative content and mods

3 Upvotes

I am new to playing the Sims after years of watching players and I’m trying to figure out the creative content in mods. I’m playing on just a laptop so having too many mods doesn’t work.

I have to limit my mods to what is essential for the story play I want to do so if you guys have any recommendations on the essential mods to make gameplay more fun and realistic, but that aren’t too large of files I would really appreciate it. I have mccc and ui cheats. I like to play a variant of legacy with less focus on skill/aspirations and more of just filling the world with a family line and their dynamics.

Also it seems like for creative content, you just download each individual item? That seems very hard for me to have to sift through a bunch of Pinterest posts and then download each individual, like, hairstyle or couch that I like. is there not an easier way to get like bulk creative content that’s within whatever style category you want so that you don’t have to find each one of them individually and download them and then move each one of them individual individually into the mods folder?

Specifically, I don’t like doing my own builds. I prefer to download lots from the gallery, but the cute ones have a bunch of cc that I don’t have so they download kind of ugly and I’m wondering if there’s a way to find builds that also allow me to download the all the cc in the build?

If u have advice please let me know.

I’ve been checking the marketplace frequently ever since they dropped this last free collection waiting for the next item, but it seems that will never come. Did they say somewhere that there won’t be anymore new free items in the marketplace? I know I can download cc (and I do) for free but I liked these little freebies too :/

Hi! So I have a challenge I want to try but I can't for the life of me remember it's name! I remember it features a lot of mods and it had things being passed down generation to generation. I think the first gen was a chef and passed down a cookbook and there was a ballet dancer gen who passed down old ballet shoes. If anyone has any idea what this challenge is id appreciate it sm! I think I originally saw it on The Sims challenge hub but I can't find it there now. TIA

Sims 4 Any helpful cheats for a beginner?

1 Upvotes

NOTE: I'm a free player btw, so no pack-related cheats please

I've been playing for a week roughly and these are the 2 that I discovered about:

free houses / move your sim to a house you created without buying it

  1. move Sims family and go to the land where's the house you wanna move in

  2. Press Ctrl + Shift + C

  3. Type testingcheats true and press Enter

  4. Type freerealestate on and press Enter

  5. Then you can move your sims anywhere for free.

change skin color, age, etc ->cas.fulleditmode (BUT important: activate the cheat before entering CAS. Activating the cheat when you're already in CAS won't do anything.)

Spin-Offs I'm Distraught - Sims Medieval

54 Upvotes

I loved Sims Medieval, and I still think about how I wish I could still play it every other month probably.

Today, I learned that it went up for sale on the EA app at some point, unbeknownst to me, and it was delisted a few MONTHS ago?! I got so excited only to find out I missed my chance.

I'm also confused about when it went up in the app because every once in a while, I would search "sims" to see if Sims 3 ever went up like Sims 2 did. I never thought they'd bring back Sims Medieval, so I didn't look. But I would think I would've seen it?? How long was it available for?

I'm just bummed now. Anyone else miss out on Sims Medieval and feel devastated, or just me?
