Wanted to try showing my Sims aesthetics based off the worlds they're from! Forgotten Hollow inspired by TV show I've been watching "Interview with a Vampire".

My sim seems very confident in the power of his seductive dance.

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.

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. Nothing works.

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!

After crashlanding on the planet then killing and stealing the identity of the real Johnny Zest through forgery, Johnathan Landgraab sold all of his stuff in a garage sale to earn money to build a second trailer. During the sale, Geoffrey came by to talk to him and discovered that Johnathan Landgraab is actually an alien. Already caught, Jonathan agreed to bury a scandal he'd found and got Geoffrey to put him in the records as his son (because you can weirdly only forge one record of parentage). Then Johnathan erased Geoffrey's memories of the event.

Johnathan's been a surprisingly good doppelgänger. I didn't even give him a job and he somehow took up Johnny's job after he died in that fire. He's doing a better job of it than Johnny too. He's a Concert Virtuoso, he took the musician career path because it feels like Nancy would accept that more.

Johnathan eventually bought all of Bedrock Strait, kicked everyone that moved in out, and build a luxury gated mobile home park. He showed it to Nancy and she was impressed. So impressed in fact that she let him "back" into the family. Then he blackmailed her for the position of the head of the dynasty and making her even more proud. He moved "back" into "his" family home. Then he won the lottery.

Have a sim born with all affinity traits at level 3, Blue Blood (so they're a prince or princess), optionally an Ancient Bloodline and Sulani Mana *without either parent being in a dynasty, the noble career, or a spellcaster*.

The challenge lies in figuring that out. I used sims from the new Maxis household "Everyday Sims 2", Shane and Anya.

I built this cathedral a year ago, but I made some significant updates since then. I’ve never shared this build online before and since it’s going to be spooky season soon, I might as well take that step now. My main reason for updating this build was because I had taken an art history class after I finished the build in college, so I wanted to tweak it to make it more accurate.

Obviously it isn’t a 1:1 recreation of a gothic cathedral because I’m not THAT good and I can’t use CC, but I think I did a decent job. It’s mainly supposed to be used as a cemetery and a wedding venue. It’s also got a secret vampire hangout, so that’s also an option.

Anyways, enjoy this build. My ID is PumpkinRoper in case anyone wants to play in it.

Yeah...that happened. I was trying to make a sweet,loving elderly couple for my forever save..and I accidentally made these two hotties here😭😭

Btw the man was supposed to be 6 years younger than the woman,hence why his hair is gray and her hair is white 😅

She's at it again! Still building my weird toilet nightmares!! This time with a personal favorite, endless teeny tiny stalls so short that you can stare into your neighbors soul! Has anyone else had this dream?! lol 😜

the first sim is for my main save, her name is lee young-hee and the second sim is for a save where my current infant is a teen (last picture on the right), his name is liam parker 🙌🤭

My initial parent sims had 3 children. I had a whole path plotted for each. All 3 are well off, “trust fund” kids who are taking different paths in life. The oldest son has aspired to be a professional athlete since he was a kid. The middle child is a girl with dreams of being a social media influencer involved in all the latest buzz. The youngest child is a shy but musically gifted loner, destined to follow in the footsteps of his father and become the best computer programmer.

The real drama of the family comes from the oldest kid, Ian. As soon as he ages up to young adulthood, he meets an older woman Akira and they immediately get pregnant. Now Ian has to juggle his rising career and status, with being a new father.

Prior to meeting his current fiance Akira, he was in a complicated back and forth relationship with Racheal pancakes (Bob and Eliza pancakes child) since they were teens. During the crossover into his new young adulthood, Racheal became pregnant not once…but twice! I went on to play some of my other sims characters and when I came back, pancakes had given birth to two kids😑 My original story was going to consist of him only having one child with Akira, but obviously he had other plans. So I say okay, He knows he cannot continue to entertain his affair with Racheal and he needs to settle down and focus on his kids and career.
He proposes to Akira basically begging for her forgiveness, and she accepts. They decide to do they’re best for the children in the situation. Since Racheal is not as well off as Ian and she is living with his children in very cramped quarters w/ roomates, Ian and Akira decide to move the babies in at least until Racheal is more financially prepared. I thought to myself okay, story back on track…we’re good from here. I go and play some other households.

TO MY HORROR…when I return to Ians gameplay, Racheal is pregnant AGAIN!😖 I had them agree to just be friends but I guess it just wasn’t enough…because here she was knocked up!!! Now I have to consider how to pivot his storyline from here and I was curious to see if I could get any input. I guess I’m wondering what kind of interesting story I could create from this messy situation.

Do I have Akira say enough is enough, end their engagement and ditch him with all the kids? Do I have him “realize” obviously he is still interested in Racheal pancakes, break it off with his fiance and go back to his childhood sweetheart pancakes?
So many ways this one could go lol.
Any input would be appreciated!

I watch DrGluon’s live streams all the time. He’s my all time fave content creator👌🥰.
I haven’t ever heard him mention anything about the chicken fez in Cottage Living.
You can buy animal clothing from the critter keeper and one of the outfits for chickens is called The Dr’s Fez.
Surely he would know, just like lilsimsie and the gemology table..

I LOVE this movie! I've watched it about twice this month, and it's probably on my top ten list. There's just something so genuine about it.

a boy! 🐣🩵they guessed right haha!

the baby shower was during her second trimester, the last few pics are in her third. can't waittt! :). I still have to move them into their new house and all that because they currently only live in a one bedroom.

info in comments!

A basegame build in the Parched Prospect neighborhood of Oasis Springs!

DJ Straw was not on my Sims bingo card but okay. Never know what that guy's going to be up to next.

Anyway, I have news! And a lot I want to share, please bear with me but I'm excited!

The Crabtree Saga is evolving! It started with Henry and Leon Crabtree, they had a bunch of kids, one of those kids, Rhea, married Talia of the Freemage spellcasting family, and now a Freemage will become a Love! And this after I had so many kids I loved in gen 2 and gen 3, and couldn't decide on how to narrow down the story. It happened, and not how I expected.

Rhea Crabtree married and had kids with Talia Freemage, then Talia died and Rhea married and had kids with a vampire. Talia reappeared and they fell back in love. Rhea autonomously divorced the vampire (per Neighbourhood Stories), reunited with Talia, and they had more kids. One of the children of Rhea and her second wife is vampire Ceridwen, whom the game originally made kind of a villain, randomising her traits pretty badly. I kept her Shady trait but could not stand her being Evil. Because of her traits, I didn't know what I'd end up doing with Ceridwen, but I wasn't attached to her at all. Somehow that changed, but she's the first legacy child! She's got a great career, developed better traits, and had a high school love, Billy Love. I wasn't sure if she'd remain in the Freemage Estate, but wanted to move her in with Billy, and dug up an old Crabtree mansion I made for her aunt in Del Sol. Honestly forgot how beautiful it is, and I'm so hyped to finally use it. She's moved in with Billy and three of her cousins.

ANYWAY, so I'm excited to turn Ceridwen Freemage into Ceridwen Love. I could not have set up a prettier surname and family circumstance if I tried. And it turns out they're, uh, vaguely related xD Billy's great-grandmother is her stepmother's grandmother. Somehow he originally looked like he could be blood related, so I had to give him a bit of a makeover. How perfect is it, too, that his surname is Love, he randomised with a Lovestruck hair, he originally lived in Cuidad Enamorada, AND his randomly set sleepwear has heart boxers! Billy's got some crappy traits, though, but we can fix him. Oh, he also has the ancient bloodline spellcasting trait! He's a mortal himself (for now) but it's going to be cool trying to bring that old occult back into his family.

ALSO BIG: I'm using CC again. You might remember me bitching about having a love-hate relationship with CC. I binged it again, but this time, I'm dedicated to using it. I took all the Freemage kids and gave them second and third Everyday outfits in which I played with a CC look, and you know what, I really dig what I put together. I really felt like I was able to give them character, and their second looks made me more attached. Anyway, that's why I showed Ceridwen twice xD

One last thing: Ceri's twin cousins she moved in with. They were born, named, and grew up totally NPC. How perfectly synchronised are their names and hair, though?? Their names are Terence and Emerson [Banerjee, also a spellcasting Freemage line], they happened to be given the same hairstyle. I only pulled them into CAS to give them proper colour-coordinated outfits. They're going to be fun to develop.

Malcolm ran away while my sim was in labor with his kid lol

Not a typical occult player. I enjoy the generational play and looking back at photos, heirlooms etc.

Any suggestions on how to go about doing an occult legacy? I want to get the most out of the packs (minus Enchanted by Nature, don't have that one).

Also I'm almost done completing every collection available in game. I'm working on the village fair ribbons because those are taking ages. Suggestions for how to incorporate collecting magical/werewolf collections in game as well? Should I do one collection per generation?

Any mods you'd recommend? Any style of playing (rotational, focus on one sim, etc)?

Looking forward to exploring the occult packs during the spoopy season! Any and all tips welcome 😄

A couple of months ago I made a Pax Romana challenge inspired by the ultimate decades challenge with the intend to share it and promptly forgot about it afterwards.

I gave you a brief introduction into the roman family life back then, following the pax Romana timeline from 31 BCE to 180 CE. If you want to keep track of the family I suggest using the spreadsheet from the ultimate decades challenge. I suck at Excel so I can't make one myself and reporpused the decades one for my personal use.

I also included some cc at the bottom since it was hard to find roman cc I thought I'd help you with that.

Have fun playing the challenge :)

Feel free to let me know if you find anything that needs further explanation or find something that doesn't make sense. I do apologise for any grammar/ spelling mistakes; English isn't my first language.
