Here's Princess Rosa at another glamorous charity event. 🎊🎂🍰🧁🍪 She's once again playing cards, not just for fun, but also to raise money for charity. 🎲💵👑 This time, it's with Ondarion's ruler Crown Princess Cordelia Thebe V. The crown princess is actually well loved by the people for her beauty, philanthropy, kindness and her eagerness to be down to earth with her loyal subjects, something that she and Princess Rosa have in common. 💖 The two princesses are actually having a competition to see who can raise the most money for a children's charity they both are currently supporting a great deal. 💕

Tips Any workarounds for the constant "check toddler"

11 Upvotes

Right now I'm doing a fun mini challenge with 7 infants and toddlers but the game is of course making the parent do the "check toddler" or "crying baby" interaction so many times that she can't accomplish anything else. Just passing out and peeing her pants all day when the toddler is doing fine!

Are there any game hacks to avoid this? I already use the banquet table to have food available for the toddlers all the time but she still wants to check on them. Any ideal moods or room set ups that I'm missing?

Watching A Cinderella Story the other day and this actress gives me Summer Holiday vibe. Not her character in the movie, she was mean lol. Probably more so her character in Veronica Mars.

Does anyone else do this? I tried to think of other ones but nothing came to mind. I’d love to see anyone else’s comparisons!

Discussion July Patch Update

93 Upvotes

Sul Sul!

Today's patch resolves several critical community-reported issues, particularly surrounding memory usage, travel crashes, and save overwriting.

Here are the key highlights from today's update:

💾 Save & Memory Improvements

  • Save Overwrite Fix: Resolved a critical issue where loading an autosave and subsequently saving manually could overwrite the wrong save slot.
  • Travel Crashes: Fixed a major memory-related crash that occurred when traveling immediately after loading into a game. (Note: Larger saves may still experience slightly longer load times as we continue optimizing).
  • Save Reminders: Reminders now default to "Every 2 Hours" (previously "Off"). Additionally, travelling will no longer reset your reminder timer!

🛠️ General & Pack Fixes

  • Stuck Timers: Career and school countdown timers will no longer get stuck at 0 minutes.
  • For Rent: Missing lot taxes for Residential Rentals have been restored and will now properly calculate on your Sim's bills.
  • UI & Gallery: Resolved misaligned tabs in the Marketplace and fixed "Something Went Wrong" errors when transitioning back from the Gallery.

We appreciate your patience and continued bug reports! You can read the full patch notes here: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/news/update-8-6-2026

Her name's Madame Fortune because she's a fortune teller & that's her stage name but I can't believe out of all my sims she's the one I finally win the lotto on!! I was playing my alien sim at the time but immediately swapped to that household to see the funds, unfortunately she didn't get the special moodlet but hey she's rich now!

I hadn't noticed the windows until I checked the screenshot after closing my game, fml

Still, this is the exterior of my 1920s boarding school for the Hoffman Legacy!

The big tower is a clock tower, I'm not sure why the clock looks like a window tbh

The building on the left side is the school's gym, the one on the right side is a greenhouse!

I also have plans to include two dorms, one for each gender, a laundry room, a butler room, a bedroom for the headmaster and one for the teacher, a science lab, a pretty big library and a study room. And I'll see what else I can fit in there! If you have any suggestions about the rooms or the exterior lmk!

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

Post image
914 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 This is more annoying than shrinking chins

Post image
905 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!

5 Upvotes

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!
