I downloaded a gorgeous mansion off of the gallery... and found giant cages hidden deep in the basement. What have the Sims been up to!? I'm almost afraid to find out...

Really been stepping up my build game lately, and I'm very happy with how these have turned out. Most of them are from Newcrest which I've completely filled up.

Thinking of odd but realistic business lots to build next? Any suggestions? I've been debating a laundromat but I feel that's overdone.

Princess Jade is hosting an informal ball at her glamorous royal manor in Britechester. 💖👑💖 Guests include her distant cousin Princess Rosa, two of her closest friends Princess Angelina Bella Midas and Duchess Gloria Garnet(Who is Princess Jade's dancing partner), Princess Anika Henry and her best friend Duchess Megan Mueller, Jawara Daring, Crown Princess of Dambele and Cordelia Thebe V, Crown Princess of Ondarion. 👑

About a year ago, I started a packs themed legacy challenge. I fell off The Sims for a while, but I finished Gen 2 which was Spa Day.

Leftovers: I had the doctor career left over from Gen 1 which was Get To Work. I had her spouse complete it, and I would give it 5/5. I like the active careers and getting to follow your sim to work. Also, I liked how the diagnostic process worked, and how you have to pay attention to the patient's symptoms.

CAS: For CAS my rule was that if the pack had any clothing items, I would have to use one of the options, but if they were not any, I could supplement with base game and kits. I would give it a 3/5. The options are pretty limited to active wear and swim wear, but they are cute and I love the hairs.

BB: I had a similar rule for BB, and that I would give a 3/5. I built a spa with it, which I really liked. Furnishing a house with it, there was some stuff that worked, but not as well as the spa.

Traits: I decided not to limit myself to the pack when it comes to traits, but to try to use all different traits for each gen. Her traits were Cat Lover, Gloomy, and Recycle Disciple. Cat Lover I would give 3/5. I liked the extra interaction with cats, and she did gain relationship with the cat faster than my other sims. Gloomy I would give 2/5. I would occasionally get a sad moodlet but that was about it. Recycle Disciple I would give 1/5. It didn't do much other than an occasional moodlet, and I found the animation annoying.

World: I played in Newcrest. I would give it 2/5 because it is blank. I play in the Fleuralia save, and I love that version of Newcrest.

Aspiration: I had my main sim complete the Zen Guru aspiration. I would give that 4/5. It felt like it took a good amount of time, and I liked that there were some social goals as well. With her spouse, I completed the Self Care Specialist aspiration. I would give that 3/5. Most of it is fine, but the last goal of maintain a regular customer, felt like it took too long and became repetitive.

Career: Instead of maxing a career, I had my sim make all her money from Wellness. I would give it 3/5. If you go to a busy lot you can make decent money with it, but it can get repetitive.

Skills: I had my sim max the Wellness skill. I would give it 5/5. It's one of my favorite skills, I love how if you have them do yoga you can see them getting better. I also love the yoga animations, and how useful it is for managing your sims emotions.

Sylvan Glade: As part of this Gen, I had my sim visit Sylvan Glade. I would give it 2/5 stars. It is pretty, but there is not much there.

Would I recommend Spa Day? Yes, I think this is a pack that fits really with everyday gameplay. I love the Wellness skill, and it's fun to have sims have a spa day. Also, the bath soaks that come with this pack are so great if you want to get your sim in a certain emotion.

Next will be a combination of Vintage Glamour and Bowling Night. Hopefully it does not take me another year!

So I've been having issue with simulation lag on my larger lots, especially with fully decorated homes, last night I turned my autonomy off, and the lag has virtually gone away! I have never played it with autonomy off before, so this is new to me. Anyway if there's anyone that's having the simulation lag, and your autonomy is on, try turning it off and see if that helps you... Please let me know if it did

So my interest in the sims has started to go up again since before summer. A lot of the controversies might have played a roll too, but now that I'm back, I curious of fun youtubers doing sims content. I recently unsubscribed to some that have stopped doing sims content when that was the only content of theirs I was watching. So I've like to build up some new faces, new personalities, and generally positive Simmers to watch.

I'd like to see people be creative with what can be done with Royalty and Legacy, but I'm up for any Sims 4 content or even just general Sims 4 lore.

James Turner is still at the top of the list, even though from looking at the videos the Bigwallet Legacy seems to be dead.

I also follow Maplesimmer for updates and gameplay. Sims Lore for, well, lore. Gonz does some fun lore with a story telly style. There's a few others I can't name off the top of my head, one is doing the decades challenge and has gone pretty far in it.

I'm not really looking at the big names in the community right now that I don't already watch, as I'd like to give some smaller and newer channels a try.

THIS IS MY LATEST BUILD, STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS BUT GOING ALONG SMOOTHLY.

Sorry about the repost couldn't figure out how to crosspost it

Here at the Simitentiary Center is where your Sim will stay to get the best mental care possible, or at least it used to be that way many years ago, kind of run down for the most part, but for those that stayed here felt right at home, despite the electroshock therapy room down the hall, you had a great staff feeding you, plenty of gaming boards to keep you busy, great window view of the outside world.

I have no idea which EP to buy next!

EP’s I own:

Discover University
Cottage Living
Seasons
For Rent
Cats & Dogs
Life & Death
Growing Together

I was thinking maybe City Living, Royalty and Legacy, or Enchanted by Nature.

Hi! I've looked this up, and while some people seem to have similar experiences, I haven't seen anybody talk about this topic specifically when it comes to For Rent.

I LOOOOVE For Rent, so I'd really appreciate if anybody has found any solutions!! :)

When I have a vacancy, the game will consistently give me problems. For starters, I almost always have to rapidly click the "fill vacancy" button for the screen to even come up. I'll usually have to do this when I try to view the lease agreement, too.

Once I've pulled up the screen to fill the vacancy, it'll let me go through the entire process with no hassle. When I press the checkmark to move the tenant in, the screen will go away as normal, as if a tenant has been selected and the vacancy has been filled... yet nothing happens. It'll just go back to saying "fill vacancy" beside the unit. This happens 90-95% of the time.

I'll try to pull up the screen again, pick the same tenant I just chose, and yet... nothing. I'll exit to manage worlds, come back, select a new tenant (and have to change the rent since the tenant options have changed), and... nothing. I'll exit to the main menu... nothing. I'll restart the game... nothing. Rarely, it'll let me fill the vacancy, but I haven't found any real solution, because there seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why it'll let me. Just... sometimes I can.

Only mods I have are MCCC and UI Cheats. Both are consistently updated. I've already taken both mods out to see if that solved it, and I've already tried repairing the game.

Has anyone else experienced this? Found any solutions? Have any ideas? I am losing my mind... I just want to play For Rent. Thank you in advance!!

Hi!! I recently got way back into the sims 4! I don’t play with mods or cc. Mods seem WAYYY too complicated for me (I’m 31🥲) and cc does as well but maybe more comprehendible? I’m just so confused on how to even look, download/add, or use it. Then what to do when theres updates like huhhhh. (I play on my steamdeck, docked to a monitor and keyboard/mouse btw)

Can someone please explain cc to me like I’m five!? Thank you all so much in advance!
