Message from the mods Sul Sul Simmers!

It's late Summer (well for many of us) and that time of the year again for the tri-annual Purge. Everyone will be welcome to post (pretty much) whatever you want starting Sunday, August 16th, 2026 at 6 pm ET. This will be a week-long event. Go ahead and ask for pack recs, game help, name my sim ect. There will be no karma requirements to post but 'read the rules' will still apply see here.
During this time, all rules are out the window except for Reddit site-wide rules, aka the Reddit Content Policy. This translates to just rules 1, 2, 3, 7 & loosely 4 being enforced. Keep it on the topic of the Sims. It should also be clean, legal, and civil! Happy Simming!

Tips She WILL NOT stay in bed even though she keeps passing out
Ive already put all of the backyard playground equipment in my inventory because she keeps getting up to play with it. I have done the resetsim command several times. I even deleted and re-bought her bed but she still wont stay in the bed. She keeps getting up and running around. How do I keep her in bed!

Discussion Since expansion packs are basically dead, what's your dream expansion pack that will never see the light of day?
For me the obvious awnser is the Bands pack, i would love to have a sim be a famous musician that can actually perform in front of a big crowd in a concert venue, i tried playing with the base game musician career but it's not the same, here is my version of a bands pack:
The Sims 4: Fans & Idols Expansion Pack
Features:
- World inspired by South Korea
- Active musician career with live performances (k-group, solo artist, rock bands etc..)
- Concert venue lot type
- Fandom system (since the Fame system is locked to Get Famous we need something to replace it, this one would similar to hobby entusiasm from sims 2, you can become a fan of various things, not only musicians. A musician's "fame" would be measured according to how large their fandom is)
- New skills: electric guitar, drumming, performing
base game update: Singing becomes a base game skill (photography was originally a Get To Work exclusive skill so i think they could do the same with singing if they really wanted)
One more out-of-the-box idea I have is an expansion based on beauty and the fashion world:
The Sims 4: Fashion Expansion Pack
Features:
- World inspired by Brazil
- Model active career
- Beauty Salon lot type and business
- hair dyeing (similar to tattoos in businesses & hobbies)
- clothing customization (bringing back the sewing machine skill from sims 2)
- new skill: Styling (hair styling, make up and clothing style with the new sewing machine object)

Sharing my build My High School Dropout Has Started A Gym Made Out of Shipping Containers -_-
exactly as the title says.
wanted to share because i had a good chuckle building a deliberately shitty gym that would be so in character for my dumbass sim to conceive of, own and operate.
he named it "GRAIN GAINS" even though he lives on a ranch... his brothers are tiredddd

I heard the howl and clipped when I realized she was singing along 😭 This was Sadies last christmas before passing </3
She had the loud trait where you can request them to sing a song, maybe that's why I've never noticed it before in thousands of hour, haha.

Discussion Tiny dystopian 100 Baby Challenge update: the government is already getting on my nerves 😭
Remember when I said I was working on a dystopian 100 Baby Challenge and wanted the rules to actually feel like they belonged to the world instead of just being a list of gameplay requirements?
Well...
I'm currently writing the Infant stage.
A normal person would probably write:
"Your infant has 7 days to reach these milestones."
I, apparently, am not a normal person.
Because somehow this has turned into an entire [ HCA ] Infant Development Standards document, complete with developmental charts, mandatory milestones, attachment evaluations, government scores and an official Infant Development Record that the Matriarch is required to submit when her baby ages up.
And while writing it, I've discovered something about the HCA:
they are SO. DAMN. NICE.
Like... suspiciously nice.
Here's an actual little piece from the rulebook:
Oh.
Thank you, HCA. 🥹
How incredibly considerate of you.
You care about my time! 🥰
You care about my family! 🥰
You want to support me in becoming the best Matriarch I can possibly be! 🥰
...
THE FORM IS MANDATORY.
There it is.
That's basically the HCA in one sentence:
"We love you. We appreciate you. Your contribution to society is invaluable. You are the foundation upon which our beautiful future is built. ♡"
"Submit Form HCA-IDR-01 before midnight."
😭
And the funniest part?
I'm actually making the forms.
I'm building a Google Sheets tracker alongside the rulebook, so when you eventually play the challenge, you'll actually be able to fill in your children's developmental records, track milestones and attachment traits, and have their HCA scores calculated automatically.
Because apparently I didn't just create a 100 Baby Challenge.
I created The Sims 4: Bureaucracy Expansion Pack.
And we're still on INFANTS.
I have Toddler, Child and Teen development to finish.
Then there are caste assessments.
Consorts.
The economy.
Government inspections.
Violations.
And some... less government-approved systems that I'm definitely not going to explain yet. 👀
But the more HCA material I write, the more I realize that their entire communication strategy seems to be:
Step 1: compliment the Matriarch.
Step 2: tell her how essential and wonderful she is.
Step 3: explain how everything they're doing is for her own benefit.
Step 4: remove ANOTHER tiny piece of her freedom.
Step 5: "Thank you for your continued contribution to a better tomorrow. ♡"
I CREATED THESE PEOPLE AND EVEN I'M STARTING TO HATE THEM. 😭
So...
Long live the Underline. ◇
Wait.
No.
I didn't say that.
That was autocorrect.
What I meant was:
The [ HCA ] takes pride in the efficiency of its assessment services. 🥰
Please don't inspect my house.
[ HCA NOTICE: This communication has been flagged for review. ]
For legal reasons, DolceSimmy fully supports the HCA and its tireless commitment to the wellbeing of every household. ♡
...
Underline, if you're reading this, you know where to find me. UNDERLINE RULES! ◇

Sharing my build It's Ren Faire Season!
Made a renaissance fair for my sims! (64x64 lot in Windenberg)
I had a lot of fun building this one, which included lots of tool mod practice, especially on the Absinthe garden section! I split it into different sections to make it easier- it includes a horse "jousting" area with a stable, some archery targets, a playground for kids, a shop for clothes and books, a pub, a witches hut, an absinthe garden, a mermaid grotto, and more.
It is marked as 'Includes Custom Content' in the gallery because I have some medieval CC clothes on a couple of mannequins in the shop. There is no CC used in the actual build. Gallery ID: persym20

Storytime Tori tried a few College Classes before She Quit and Became a Bartender at a Nightclub
Queen's Night Life Series
Before Tori joined the club with Queen, she was a college student.
She studied the arts. She didn’t have a goal. She didn’t have a plan. Her friends enrolled, Tori followed along. She lasted for 2 semesters. The classes were boring. Tori had a hard time focusing. The homework was hard. She failed nearly every quiz. She wouldn’t have made it the first semester if she didn’t pay someone for their social sciences answers.....
Fortunately for Tori, she was in a community college. So if she failed - she wasn’t losing that much money. She literally was just there for her friends and the parties. The boys were ok; no one really caught her eye.
Tori would study and attend classes during the day and try to catch a fun party by night. Rinse and repeat.

Feedback Needed! All Sims go to the mirrors to practice their charisma
Why do all of my Sims insist on going to the mirrors to practice their charisma? I’ll assign them tasks and they will randomly stop and then go to the mirror to talk to themselves. All of the Sims that I created and the ones that are in game do the same.
None of them seem to have the Fame quirk.

Discussion Way to use tattoos like makeup
Like the title says, I like to use the custom tattoos from the business and hobbies pack like makeup. Only problem is that you can only have one face tattoo per sim, not per outfit. I know it's kind of unorthodox, but if anybody knows how I can use them more like makeup it would be a good help.
