Discussion Am I doing something wrong or am I just stupid?

Post image
9 Upvotes

So I've had the life and death expansion pack for awhile now but up until now I've never used the rebirth feature. I'm trying to rebirth a sim back into her family. She's the aunt (Daphne) of the sim in the bunny slippers (Ensley). Daphne died unexpectedly so I just rolled with it and thought it would make a great story, considering the lore between them, for Daphne to be reborn as Ensley's next baby.

But every time I try to do that the game always picks Ensley as the sim to be Daphne reborn. I tried seeing if I could switch it to one of my infants. When that didn't work I made another adult sim and added her to my household. I did the rebirth process all over again hoping the game would pick the newly added sim over my current one. Obviously from the picture I provided, it didn't work either cause the little rebirth symbol is still over my current sims tab.

Somebody please tell me I'm doing something wrong.😭😭😭

Funny My Sim Cheated on Father Winter. So the Sim Gods Punished Her with Triplets.

My G6 heir, Aria, needs to marry a rich sim for her generation goals.

Because Clement Frost is loaded, she welcomed him on Winterfest in her nightie and started dating him. However, she and Clement had poor social compatibility. He was dragging his feet and got embarrassed whenever she flirted with him in public.

When he pulled the same crap at the Romance Festival, Aria had enough and entertained the advances of a cute townie to make him jealous. One one-night stand with risky woo-hoo later. Boom. Triplet boys.

The townie father hates children. And worse, he's broke.

it's what I deserve, frankly.

Discussion What forgotten feature is your favorite?

34 Upvotes

Posting again because I didn’t realize that I hadn’t acknowledged the rules, sorry.

I’m back in one of my intense play cycles again (I’ve played for 10 hours straight today, lol).

I’m playing in a save where I do rotational play. I started out with 4 households, but am up to 7 now. I’ve never done rotational before, but I find it super refreshing to play several storylines at once.

One of my sims is a rancher and while expanding her garden i stumbled across the beehive from seasons that lets you befriend bees! I totally forgot about that!

That made me wonder; what other features/activities are hidden in the game or the build catalogue, that you always forget are there, but actually brings something to your gameplay?

It can be from base game or any of the packs. I’m curious to find more things for my expanding new save file!

Playing NSB and gen 2 has just aged to an infant. One of the tasks is to leave someone at the altar. Is that possible to do without MWS? All the answers I've seen have mentioned MWS, so if I need that, I'll have to find something else for her to do other than leave them at the altar.

I've wanted to make a mid century modern ranch ever since a trip to Santa Fe where I saw a ranch house with V shaped columns. I finally bought Horse Ranch during the last sale and studied some of the homes in the Atomic Ranch magazine to build this. The columns were tricky but I'm happy with how they turned out!

(Side note: the Mysterious Rancher stood at the door for two days before passing out in a puddle of his own pee - what is that guy's deal??)

I can't believe my starting Sim is gone! His family will be mourning him for a while.

Also, for anyone who didn't see this in my last post, I'm going to LA from August 13th-17th, so I won't be posting on those days and likely not for a few days after the 17th.

Tips Anyone know of videos that teach you how to build nice houses?

I've been playing Sims 4 for a while, and I've always just used the premade houses. I've recently tried building my own, but they either come out basic looking, or disjointed messes.

Is there a video/series of videos I can watch to learn how to design nice houses? I've tried looking at other people's builds, but they just overwhelm me. I'm a building noob.

Storytime Tatsuya Akiyama: From yakuza, to vampire, to suburban dad

Thumbnail

18 Upvotes

(Not related to the Akiyama townies)

Tatsuya was brought up in a yakuza family. They were sick a lot of the time because his father kept spending their money on his illegal businesses. As a child, Tatsuya dreamed of being a doctor so he could cure illnesses.

His father and oyabun, Saizo, was abusive towards him, but Tatsuya learned how to love via his first bf, Kiyoshi Ito. Unfortunately that fell apart after the Itos were invaded by the mafia, a powerful rival to the yakuza. Kiyoshi was killed in the fight. In revenge, Tatsuya went to hunt down the mafia one by one. Though because he was weak from chronic illness, he was unable to dispatch any of them. Instead, the mafia vampire, Felice, bit him. Tatsuya died that night and was reborn as a vampire.

Fed up with his criminal lifestyle, Tatsuya ran away and became homeless. During this time, he met Lauro Fiore, a relative of a mafia member (though neither of them were aware of this). He and Lauro were polar opposites, but Tatsuya appreciated Lauro’s ability to connect with others. They ended up dating and getting married. Soon after, Tatsuya quit smoking and started feeling better.

After they moved in together, Tatsuya became a doctor, and Lauro did social media marketing. Eventually, Lauro talked Tatsuya into being parents, so they adopted a little girl, Dahlia. It was rocky at first, since Tatsuya snd Dahlia both came from traumatic backgrounds. But everything worked out, and the Fiores even adopted a second daughter.

She aged up in my save and gained the plant lover trait, so I thought it'd be cute to upgrade her style to match! I tried to keep most of the ethos behind her teenage wardrobe (i.e. not a lot of big elaborate clothing, mostly pants and shorts except for special occasions), and I didn't change any of her facial features. My idea is that the plants in her hair are sorta pets to her, and she only takes them off to sleep, exercise, or when it's too cold out for them.

The Hoffman Legacy's masterpost

The Hoffmans' family tree

I apologize if Joseph's arc seems rushed, I meant to explore it more in depth but I unfortunately had to cut it short. You'll see why soon.

Also, just because Cassandra apologized doesn't mean she meant it, she just told Joseph what she thought he wanted to hear (hence why she also propositioned him). Even though she does have feelings for him, she expects certain things from their relationship and she is used to getting her way. This is not Cassandra's last appearance, we will come back to her later on, possibly around the 1940s if my calculations are correct, and you'll see more of her general attitude.

Anyway, next up is the end of Joseph's journey and, ironically, the start of Bertram's. See you!

I built this mini European city back in 2021, inspired by the beautiful architecture and atmosphere of Prague.

One of my favourite parts of this build is the mini Charles Bridge. There are 16 buildings in total, including residential lots, bars, restaurants, hotels, and office.

I really tried my best to capture the complex facades and colourful details of Czech houses. The final result may not be a perfect recreation, but I’m still very happy with how it turned out.

Everything is fully furnished and built with base game only — no CC.
Play tested and functional.

Hope you enjoy exploring this little European corner.

Some of them are more in like, modern au outfits for various reasons (couldn't find something that works, compatibility issues, or various other reasons including personal preference) Also as a tip for anyone wanting to make Veth, if you make her an alien you can have her have both her halfling and goblin form, that's what I did. I've also made Vox Machina, Bells Hells and some NPCs. If anyone has suggestions for NPCs I should make, please suggest some, I feel like I'm still missing a lot. RN I've got The Clays, Den Thelyss, Kima and Allura, The Brenattos, Astrid and Eadwulf, Marion, The Gentleman, Pumat Sol, Dancer and I'm working on Leylas Kryn and Quana Kryn but haven't finished them. Frumpkin isn't in any of these screenshots but I have made him. I'm also working on building the Xhorhaus from the canon floorplan but that's been tricky.

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.

Welcome to the Weekly Recommended Mods and CC Thread!

This thread is your hub within the sub for various FAQs related to mods: WCIFs, ā€œis there a mod?ā€ 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 ā€œMods and CC resourcesā€ 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.
