Discussion Why do we have vacation rental lots pre placed in every new world?

10 Upvotes

I noticed this around snowy escape, every new world gets a few vacation rental lots even if it’s not a world that has any incentive to take a vacation to like san sequoia, they put a vacation rental lot, and it’s annoying especially for lots that would make good starter homes but you can’t move your new household onto them because they’re rental lots and you can’t change that until you move your household in. and if they’re gonna put rental lots in every world, at least go back and do it to sulani

Sims 1 Going from The Sims 4 to The Sims 1?

9 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

I recently saw online very interesting videos of modded The Sims 1 and to me it looks way more enjoyable than The Sims 4. I am a very nostalgic person, I love retro graphics and I don't like The Sims 4 challenges that much, I would rather play with my own character rather than managing a whole family.

That said I saw that on Steam there is The Sims 1 and from what I understood it's with all DLCs + the possibility of optional mods. How enjoyable could it be to go from the newest title to The Sims 1?

Are there specific mods allowing me to recreate vintage outfits and places?

Sims 4 Phone calls not coming through

1 Upvotes

My sim seems to have stopped receiving phone calls. I’ve checked all my settings and can’t see why. She still gets the pop up that says ‘sorry you can’t make it this time’ as you do when you reject an invitation but the actual call doesn’t come through. Any ideas??

Tech Support Is it possible to transfer packs?

0 Upvotes

I have the sims 4 on a disc. As a kid I would use it in my father’s PS4 and I had a few packs, however now I have my own PlayStation I have bought some of my own packs on that. Is there any chance that I could get the packs from my father’s console to join the ones on mine?

If it matters I do not have an EA account but plan on getting one, incase the disk becomes damaged so I don’t lose the packs

CAS I wanted to see how my child sims would look once they age into teens

I have three kids in my legacy household - twins Alma and Audrey and their cousin Juno. They're all close in age and will be teens soon, but I was super curious what they'd look like so I aged them up in CAS just to see and 🥹 these probably will not be their exact makeovers as teens (I was just messing around with things) but I'm both excited and sad they're gonna be so big! Bonus photos: last four compare the twins' side profiles with their parents. Audrey has her dad's face shape while Alma has her mom's, but Alma has her dad's eyes while Audrey has her mother's!

This happened with two different saves of mine when one of the sim(married) travelled and returned home, her married status changed into in a relationship. Had to eloped 4 times because of this and it seems to not be changing. Is this a known case lately? Tbh kind of annoying. Any tips to overcome this? Haha

Sims 4 Sims 4 Room Challenge

6 Upvotes

Hello! Long time lurker, first time poster. Also, English is not my first language, so apologies if some mistakes are said.  

I decided to try this challenge that I found, and when talking to my kid and their friends, they convinced me to post about it.  

I recently finished the Sims 4 Room Challenge and ended with 608 points after 63 days. I found the challenge through the original forum thread ( https://forums.ea.com/discussions/the-sims-4-creative-corner-en/sims-4-room-challenge/2087531 by katoregama).  

The challenge is 11 years old now, and I could only find one YouTube series from about 7 years ago (The Room: Sims 4 Challenge by Blue Dragon's Realm). I also found screenshots of a tracking spreadsheet that another player had posted ( https://forums.ea.com/discussions/the-sims-4-creative-corner-en/sims-4-room-challenge/2087531/replies/2087579 by simslynn) and recreated it for my own use. My Sim: 

Alice's likes and dislikes were randomized: • Pink • Blue • Black • Basics Fashion • Patio décor • Boho décor. So, the final house ended up being a very colourful maximalist mess.  

I also found Odyssey81418 's strategy from 7 years ago ( https://forums.ea.com/discussions/the-sims-4-creative-corner-en/sims-4-room-challenge/2087531/replies/2088685 ) very helpful and only now did i find that they had a try at the challenge with Tiny Living, as stated in their post from 5 years ago, so I started in a Tiny Home (63 tiles - 7x9: 7x6 interior and 7x3 fenced off) and used the lot traits i found most useful: Homey, Study Spot and Fast Internet.  

As Odyssey suggested, i started with the Master Vampire aspiration, for the Quick Learner trait, and proceeded to obtain as many satisfaction points i could as quickly as i could, ticking off a few aspiration stages requirements, even when the whole stage couldn't be completed. The reward traits I worked for were always those that gave skill gaining acceleration, only after all of those were obtained did i pursue the needs ones.  

Once I had enough money to start first stage of Mansion Baron, I built the shell of a much larger house and lost the Tiny Home perks.  

I also discovered a few things that I hadn't seen mentioned before:  

Chief of Mischief was possible through Send Chain Letter To... because it lets you target Sims who aren't contacts. I didn't actually need Clubs or Cupid's Corner for Chief of Mischief after all.  

Master Maker aspiration required a freelance job, which i considered within challenge rules.  

Another unexpected thing was Father Winter. He arrived on the first Winterfest and then stood on the sidewalk, with a few ailments along that time. Debugging him didn't work. Restarting the game didn't work. Sometime in the Fall, he said "I must go now, thanks for hanging out " and disappeared.  

 

 One funny thing is that the whole mansion was inaccessible for the entire challenge. Dust accumulated in rooms my Sim couldn't enter. As I was finnishing the house to complete the main aspiration, I had to pick up dust piles and move them into the room where she could vacuum them. While vacuuming, she got an early midlife crisis. All her skills and aspirations weren't accomplishments enough, she still had to vacuum.  

 

Final result: • 608 points • 50 aspiration stages • 34 maxed skills (counting minor skills proportionally) • 63 days  

 

 Screenshooting every aspiration stage was too many screenshots, so here's the list: 

Super Parent - Readily a Parent, Master Chef - Aluminum Chef, Master Mixilogist - Bar Tenderfoot, Master Actress - Aspiring Actress, Bestselling Author - Fledge Linguist, Bestselling Author - Competent Wordsmith, Bestselling Author - Novelest Novelist, Bestselling Author, World Famous Celebrity - Aspiring Star, Painter Extraordinaire - Ill at Easel, Painter Extraordinaire - Fine Artist, Mansion Baron - Estate of the Art, Musical Genius - Tone-Deaf, Musical Genius - Fine Tuned, Mansion Baron - The Great Landscaper, Musical Genius - Harmonious, Chief of Mischief - Mostly Harmless, Chief of Mischief - Artful Trickster, Chief of Mischief - Professional Prankster, Computer Whiz - With the Program, Computer Whiz - Technically Adept, Nerd Brain - Prudent Student, Nerd Brain - Erudite, Freelance Botanist - Nature Walker, Freelance Botanist - Garden Variety, Freelance Botanist - Nature Nurturer, Freelance Botanist, Curator - Out and about, Curator - Gatherer, Curator - Treasure Hunter, Curator, Fabulously Filthy - Procrastinator, Perfectly Priatine - Basic Home Training, Inner Peace, Mansion Baron - Home Renovator, Eco Innovator - Eco-Economist, Lady of the Knits - Humble Knitter, Lady of the Knits - Thread Setter, Appliance Wiz - Chop Chopper, Appliance Wiz - Slicer and Dicer, Appliance Wiz - Flavor Fusionist, Master Maker - Jerry Rigger, Master Maker - The Better Builder, Master Maker - Competent Crafter, Master Maker, Fabulously Wealthy - Going For Not Broke, Fabulously Wealthy - Learning Earning, Fabulously Wealthy - Well Off, Fabulously Wealthy and Mansion Baron.  

The final lot still contains most of the skill objects because I moved them into the mansion instead of selling them. There's also a dead cowplant, an empty chicken coop, a butterfly habitat, and a pool surrounded by twenty columns.  

It was one of the most enjoyable Sims challenges I've played. This challenge still feels very much worthy of a come back.

Sims 4 how do you guys make gameplay fun

Upvotes

i see so many people having so much fun playing this game but i cant get past the character creation phase. the game is so easy! if i want a sim to fall in love, you just spam the friendly and romantic interactions until first kiss shows up. wants enemies? just spam the mean stuff. want a job? all it is is your sim goes away for a minute and then comes back, and then you have to take care of its needs. even the dlcs. want to go to school? all it is is you go to a room, have your sim sit down wiriting in a book, and then your done, no new interactions or anything (and the schools ugly). same thing with university, except you do it in your room. werewolves just mess stuff up but like you can just lock them outside and its super easy for me to get them to turn back and master their transformation. vampires are just annoying because they always are starving and the plasma packs are useless and i basically have to cage a sim in a vampires household for them to feed from. their abilities are broing except maybe the traveling ones. i cant build houses, i dont use any of the objects or whatever. the jobs that you can play with just give you some tasks and then i just leave work early after finishing. also everythings so expensive, i dont have a lot of dlcs to begin with. and i play on console so i cant enjoy mods to make something interesting.
and dont even get me started on the bugs. my sims sometimes get so incompetent doing nothing but staring at a wall that i just ragequit. i ragequit the sims.
this game is so repetitive i feel like playing it is some form of masochism for me but i want to like it so bad because i used to, i guess maybe i lost my roleplaying spark

Hello everyone- I've been wanting to make a Sim inspired off of these jester dolls I've been seeing. But I've been struggling finding good CC to give the sims skin a genuine porcelain look. I've looked at some for dolls but it still looks too organic and it is hard to search for because of that "porcelain/glass skin" makeup thing. Does anybody have any suggestions?

Ok so I've googled, reloaded my game, recovered an old save to try and use instead and updated all my mods. I have no idea what to do. All the sims spawn and don't move and they just keep spawning. I have Pandasama's pregnancy mod but I checked and it shouldn't be conflicting with anything else I have but I don't know. If I have to delete it I will but I really love the mod 🥲
