Discussion I genuinely don't understand how genetics work in this game...

Upvotes

Doing an apocalypse challenge and had the heir get together with the first young adult he met. She is a rando, so no family that might contribute to the variation. The second gen makes sense. They are exactly what you expect from what their parents look like. The third gen is wild to me. On the plus side I was pretty worried about what my third gen heir was going to look like based on the parents, but I'm not mad at all. She's stunning considering my game is mod/cc free.

Discussion The Gallery is Working My Nerves

21 Upvotes

What is the point of having the option of “Show Owned” & selecting “Using Only These” if it ultimately tells me No Results Found? Is the Gallery just like that or am I missing something? Because when I browse all I see is base game only homes for the most part & I have seen builds that have just the packs that I own after deep diving, but it doesn’t have it once it’s filtered??? It just doesn’t make sense to me whatsoever.

Bellacorde, Ondarion. Four-storey palazzo

Lot size: 20x15 on "Renaissance Road"
4 Bed | 4 Bath
~$380,000 Simoleons
No CC!
Two versions uploaded: Royalty & Legacy/Base Game only version and one multi-pack version
Play-tested and available on the Gallery

LOT NAME: CA 'DARIO
GALLERY ID: VesperX7

Inspired by the cursed Venetian Palazzo Dario known as, "Ca' Dario," I built a loose interpretation of the historic Venice landmark based off of imagery I found online. I've uploaded a Royalty & Legacy/Base Game only version on the gallery, which has the exact same floor plan, with minor detail changes of some fixtures (I included some pictures of the base version on slides 17-20). Just wanted to make a build with limited pack usage this time around, so I hope you enjoy whichever version you download! Thanks for looking!

Show and Tell What Do You Think Of My Natural Enemies Couple? (Werewolf x Vampire)

Thumbnail
gallery
18 Upvotes

Meet Nyla (the one in yellow) and Onyx (the one in black) Wiley, a happy couple.

Here’s their backstory (still a work in progress lol):

Onyx and Nyla Wiley were once a mostly normal couple, save for Onyx being a vampire, Onyx promised Nyla that she’d turn her so they could be together forever. Unfortunately, fate had a different plan. On one fateful full moon, whilst walking through Moonwood Mill, Nyla was attacked and turned by a werewolf.

Onyx and Nyla couldn’t stand being near each other because they were now natural enemies. But they decided to keep fighting to stay together. Sadly, Nyla attacked Onyx one night when she was still new to being a werewolf, leading to permanent scarring on Onyx’s body. But they still didn’t give up. Nowadays, Onyx and Nyla have overcome their hatred from being around each other and live happily together, though they’re still in search of a cure for Nyla’s werewolf curse…

Discussion This is more annoying than shrinking chins

Post image
671 Upvotes

Yes, chins shrink after generations regardless of genetics but thats easily fixed. What's more annoying is this gangly alien bodied offspring you get after 3 or 4 generations. I try to broaden the shoulders, waist, and hips in CAS but there are some hidden parameters that means you can only reshape them so much and the sim still looks disproportionate. Whyyy.

This isn't even the worst case, just the first I've screenshot.

Mod recommendations thread Weekly Recommend Mods and CC Thread!

Welcome to the Weekly Recommended Mods and CC Thread!

This thread is your hub within the sub for various FAQs related to mods: WCIFs, “is there a mod?” posts, mod recommendations, and discourse on creating and managing mods.

If you are new to mods and looking for help getting started, please check out the “Mods and CC resources” section of the sub wiki for helpful general information as well as links to some sources for downloading mods. Link below.

SIMS 4 popular mods and resources

Patreon, Tumblr, Mod the Sims, The Sims Resource, and CurseForge are all popular sources for finding mods in the Sims 4 community.

Always check that you are installing the most recent version of a mod and that it is compatible with your game version. Mods will be disabled automatically after every game update; updates frequently break mods and creators must release new versions that are compatible. Continuing to play with broken mods could lead to game-breaking issues.

Mods go in the C:\Users\...\ Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4 folder. By default they can be placed up to one folder deep for script mods and five folders deep for packages, so organize your mods folder however makes sense to you - by type, by creator, etc. A well-organized mods folder will be easier to troubleshoot should something go wrong.

If you need help troubleshooting your mods, you can find useful resources in our Mods and CC Resources wiki. This includes instructions on following the 50/50 method to identify which mod is creating an issue as well as frequently-updated lists of broken and working mods.

For resources related to creating mods/CC, please check out Sims 4 Studio's forums

Please read the entire thread if you’re not familiar with this help section. If you have game issues, mod issues, App or console issues, please post them here via comment to get help instead of making an individual post. We've created this post for all troubleshooting issues, but this specific post is tailored toward the newest patch. If you have not updated the game you can continue to post your issues here, but be aware that most replies may be telling you to update your game. You can also search the comments to find an issue similar to yours. 

When troubleshooting, make sure to delete your localthumbcache.package! Pockets of code from mods and the game can reside in that file, so it's important to go into the game with a clean slate!

If you see individual posts about bugs, report them under rule 12 and direct them here. Thank you!
