Snob SIM trapped in a mansion (but without a toilet)
Hello everyone. I played a game where a sim was trapped in a mansion with no toilet bowl and had to buy a luxury toilet bowl that was appropriate for the mansion. Requirements Create: 1 Sim with the Snob trait (other traits optional ) Build: A house worth $100,000 or more Any style, room layout, or furnishings allowed Must be fully fenced with a lockable gate Remove all toilet bowls before starting Setup: Set household funds to $0 Lock the gate so no one can enter or leave The Sim must remain on the lot at all times Goal Earn enough money to buy and install the most expensive toilet (in the base game, this is the $1,800 ). But it’s not just about money. You must meet these conditions before you’re allowed to place the toilet: No unpaid bills No broken, burned, or repossessed furniture If anything is lost (fire, repossession), you must replace the exact item first Only then may you enter Build/Buy to install the toilet bowl Restrictions You may not use Build/Buy mode, except to place the toilet once all placement conditions are met (paid bills, no broken or missing furniture). No regular full-time jobs (e.g. Business, Tech Guru, Culinary, etc.). If you want to make it more difficult, you can also ruin the freelancer. Your Sim may not leave the lot under any circumstances. No visitors or social events that require unlocking the gate or interacting outside the lot. I used a translation site, so some parts may be difficult to understand, but I hope you enjoy it.

Notes: I did not plan to make this a world save until after my CAS themed challenge GLovelysQCC133 streamed on my Twitch channel. I absolutely fell in love with the characters and game play so much that I just had to turn this into something all simmers could easily enjoy. That said, there are a lot of Sims 4 packs used in this world save. I feel you will still have an enjoyable experience with this save if your game removes items you don't own. I have plans to fully edit this save so that it uses only Base Game and Eco Lifestyle content. I will share that file at a future date once completed. There is a 2nd and 3rd generation currently in the works so please follow me to stay up to date. Thank you and keep on simmin' on! 💜

The Whittaker Saga - 1970s (updated 07/24)
I was vastly inspired when reading the decades challenge, and as a history teacher, I could not stop myself from giving it a try. Of course, true to my nature or refusing to do things by the book, the first thing I did was break the rules. How? By creating as my protagonist a single, working woman living on her own! Gasp! Why? Partly because a story popped into my head, but also, partly, to honor the many women who - by choice or necessity - actually worked, and worked hard for their living in the 1890s. We tend to forget them, but the working women were there - from the hard working farmers that we often downgrade by calling wives, as if they weren't an essential part of the economy of the farm, to the working class women working as domestic help or in the factories where they were only payed half of a man's wages. So with that, I introduce Abigail Spencer, a single, working, middle class woman in 1890s Willow Creek: As middle class there is only a few jobs available to Abigail, that of governess or that of teacher. Abigail is therefore a teacher, teaching at Willow Creek Elementary School. She lives right next door to the school, in a small shotgun house with a few chickens and a patch of land to help her make ends meet (teachers really were not payed a lot during this time either). Obviously, her biggest goal in life is to find a husband, get married and start a family so that she won't have to work. (In fact, a teacher, as well as many other working women, automatically lost their job if they got married during this time.) But to get married, she needs to find a husband. Meet Willow Creek's eligible bachelors: Matthew Godeau: Matthew is one of the richest men in Willow Creek. A bit too old to still be a bachelor he lives with his widowed mother in Ophelia house (yes, eventually this family changed their names and became the Goths. Ophelia house is named from Matthew's mother). Pro: Matthew is creative, just like Abigail, as well as a romantic and would be sure to bestow lots of attention on a wife. He lives in one of the biggest houses in town, and is a wealthy business man. Abigail would have a good life with him. Con: His mother. Ophelia is a woman set in her own ways and she is not about to let some silly girl interfere with how she runs her house! Ophelia is mean, materialistic and an overachiever. She is not likely to see some middle class teacher as good enough for her son. Add that she has raised her son to be not only creative and romantic, but also incredibly self absorbed and the household may prove hard to be comfortable with. Joseph Whittaker: Joseph is a novellist, living in the stately Whittaker house, which with time, will be turned into the well renowned Willow Creek Archive. He has no mother (a definite pro), but two very young children. A son and a daughter, from a previous marriage. Pro: Joseph is a bookworm, just like Abigail and is sure look favourably on her past as a teacher. They are also both family orientated which means they are a good match in personalities and would likely find a lot of common ground. The house is ripe with books, and Joseph's two motherless children desperately need a mother to tend to their needs. With two live in maids it's a comfortable life focused on the family and the books she so loves. Con: Joseph very much mourns his dead wife, and keeps her picture on the wall over the fireplace. Can he ever truly love again, or will Abigail forever live in the shadow of the woman he loved and lost? Loyd Brennan: Loyd is the owner of Brennan's Groceries and Dry Goods, the biggest (only) shop in town. He lives with his sister Mary and their dachshund above the store. Pro: Loyd is outgoing and friendly and easy to get along with. He's self assured, but unlike Matthew, not self absorbed. He works hard and provides a good home. As a working man he does not mind a working wife, so Abigail would do more than sit around being pretty. He loves dogs, and anyone who does cannot be bad - right? Con: Living in a store would mean working in the store. There is no way the wife of a store owner is not in that store working along side her husband. Without money for a maid, this involves not just working in the store but running the household as well. The apartment isn't really big enough for a large family and unless Mary gets married, it's bound to be crowded. Then there is the fact that she and Mary does not really get along well. Paul Heydale: Paul is a farmer, living with his entire family at Garden Essence, a farm with a cow, chickens and a whole lot of crops. They're a tight knit family who works hard for what they have. Pros: Paul, like Abigail is both creative and family orientated. He dreams of becoming a painter rather than a farmer. By marrying him, Abigail would be wrapped up in a large family who would be there for her, something she'd never had before. His family is also very friendly, and Abigail teachers his younger sister and has already met and chatted with his mother and father and really likes the entire family. Con: Marrying a farmer would be a step down the social ladder, and the life of a farmer is hard! Is Abigail cut out for working out from early morning to late evening without ever more than making ends meet? And the house is crowded as is, with Paul's parents and two younger siblings (so far). Where would more children live? Is Abigail prepared for the hard life that accompanies this choice? Now I wanted to make a poll, but apparently you cannot do this in this section of the forums. So I'll leave you with a question instead - who do you believe Abigail will most likely fall in love with and why? Matthew Joseph Loyd Paul Finally, here is my Willow Creek in 1890: *** An important note about the future postings in this story: After trying and fighting the forum to get the posts up and running as they are supposed to work, I have now decided that it's simply too much work. Instead, I have started a blog that (hopefully soon) will contain all of the chapters from here and the old forum. I am currently at 1891 and moving forwards quite rapidly. Here the posts of each chapter will be replaced by a link to the chapters in the blog as I move forwards, though I will leave any comments as they are. The massive perk with this is that I do not need to worry about editing in all images manually, and the loading time will decrease enormously without them. The process of reading is also easier at the blog - and while the blog itself is in the wrong order, I have set up a list of all chapters in chronological order for new readers as well as a search function if you are looking for a specific chapter. Another perk is that I have some new options, like character pages where you can get a summary of each of the main character in the story (warnings for spoilers) and a separate page about the challenge, how time moves. I hope I will be able include a link to the family tree as well. It will take some time to get everything set up, and I do appreciate input in the process. I do promise that the story will go on, and hope you will keep reading it and commenting on it either here or on the new blog.

A couple of the first sims in my game did not age up with any of the infant traits, and I don't know what I'm supposed to do with them. I was thinking that my matriarch would still have to raise them to adulthood and would not be allowed to have another child using their donor parents, but they would not be a challenge fail and could still help around the house and with caring for other children. I'd set them as a household member so they wouldn't show up in genealogy, and alter romantic/woohoo preferences so that they wouldn't compete with the matriarch for donors or accidentally try and romance the matriarch. Alternatively, I'd have to age them down in CAS and start over until they got the happy or top notch traits, which I think would also be fair since babies are hard to deal with. However, I'm worried that I might not be able to see some infant traits, or that the traits might be buggy and not show up. There might be a protocol for this, but I haven't found anything online. Is there anything you guys do when this happens?
[IX Langraab Reno - 20th July 2025] - BansheeHVO's Showcase
Hi guys! I started playing Sims 4 in May 2020, but I've been playing The Sims on and off for almost twenty years. Building is my favourite part of playing, so I've posted quite a few builds on the gallery over the last few months. I thought I'd post pics and links of a few of my favourites below. Let me know what you think. They are all NO CC builds, though they DO require the MOO cheat to be entered prior to placement. Find my builds on the gallery => BansheeHVOLegacy storylines?
Hey everyone! I’m about to kick off the start of my generation 4 of my sims legacy (I’m not really playing a legacy challenge but I do set myself little challenges to complete while I’m playing with certain households (e.g. one of my sims owns a restaurant and we’re trying to get it to 5 stars). I have so many sims in my generation 4, I’ve been playing rotationally between my gen 1 sims children (most are elders now 😭). But, I wanna spice up my gameplay for my gen 4 sims! Most of my other generations I haven’t been ready to start until they’re YA’s but am very excited to hop back into playing teens. so my question is do you have any ideas for side characters I can create to fit into this world? My boyfriend recommended making football teams (which I’ve already done, 2 rival 5-a-side teams), but any other ideas? I haven’t been making over my townies while I’ve been playing because I focused on the vampire side of my legacy family for most of generation 2 and 3 (I’ve learnt my lesson now tho 😂). Any advice, tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated 🙏🙏🙏
LavenderSims36 Legacy
Hello! The LavenderSims36 Legacy is my current family gameplay save and features the Lavender family (we'll see how many generations the name holds up for), with married couple Pax and Quill Lavender being the founders of the lineage. I don't have much of a plan for this Legacy, other than to play it as long as possible and gradually incorporate new DLC into my gameplay (my game is pretty basic in that realm right now). As Pax and Quill's family grows, I will eventually be doing rotational family play. I hope you enjoy reading about the Lavender family's journey!Daephene's New Save
I'm going to add links in here before the long intro so readers can skip straight to the details. Worldbuilding Overview Core Worlds Inhabited Worlds (First Gen) Vacation Worlds Bheeda Family Intro Campbell Family Intro Dragan Family Intro Elderberry Family Intro Sul sul! If you recognize the name Daephene you probably know about my longterm save, which mostly focused on the descendants of Athena Andreas and some of their occult neighbors. It was designed so that each family of Athena's descendants were assigned to be completionists about a specific pack or packs. I started that save in early 2019 and played it almost exclusively until earlier this year. As time went on I assigned a second pack to some of the households that had finished their goals, adding in new packs as I bought them. But it has gotten so big that it takes forever to make a full rotation, and I have been taking a lot of breaks from the game in the past few years. Those two things combined mean that I have had very little time to explore most of the newer packs because it takes so long to cycle back to the families that focus on them. And I may have gotten just a bit bored with stories that take forever to advance. So I decided to start a new save, still assigning a pack to each family but now starting with the newer packs that I have done the least with. I have also been making over the worlds for this save. I have imagined a map where all the worlds except for Sulani, Mt Komorebi and the vacation worlds are connected to San Myshuno by high speed rail, and Newcrest and Copperdale are within the San Myshuno metro area so that it makes sense for everyone to send their kids to the prestigious Copperdale High. I focused on those three worlds first. Then the worlds my starter families will live in, which includes Tomarang, Hanford, Chestnut Ridge and San Sequoia. I will be back when I can get to my desktop with all my photos to start giving a detailed description of how I am setting up my save. Then I plan for this thread to be a place for me to post my stories. I will likely post individual screenshot in some topics in the general discussion area, but will put details and stories here.World Building Tips/ Don't get bored
Hey everyone, Okay, TL;DR I've been playing with my sims legacy generation for a while now and I'm trying to develop the lore around my vampire/werewolf occults. I don’t have much storage left on my **bleep**ty laptop so probably can’t install any mods. so far I’ve created a few little vampire covens and werewolf packs using the get together club system. And when I was playing with my Gen 2 vampire sim I obviously had them date Caleb and I kinda played about with developing an occult council (putting all the occults into one club and kinda having them debate rules for occults and stuff). im currently playing a vampire werewolf love story which has been fun, they now have 3 children together and I really want to give each of the children a bit of a fleshed out story. So if anyone has any ideas or gameplay tips because I’m so passionate about this save file atm and I don’t want to get bored!
PHDSIMMER’S NEVER-ENDING STORY LEGACY CHALLENGE!
Hey guys, I came up with this Legacy Challenge to celebrate 5 years of The Sims 4, it was then called the 5 Year Celebration Legacy. I have now updated it to include the most recent packs and re-named it. Each generation focuses on completing some of the features introduced in a Game Pack and/or Expansion Pack and works through the order of release. Basically this legacy is a never-ending story and will only end when the Sims 4 ends! (which at this rate seems to be never!). To complete this Legacy Challenge fully you will require the following packs, feel free to skip/alter a generation if you don’t have that specific pack. Expansions: Get to Work, Get Together, City Living, Cats and Dogs, Seasons, Get Famous, Island Living, Discover University, Eco Lifestyle, Snowy Escape, Cottage Living, High School Years, Growing Together, Horse Ranch, For Rent, Lovestruck, Life and Death (Businesses and Hobbies, Enchanted by Nature are coming soon!). Game Packs: Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day, Dine Out, Parenthood, Jungle Adventure, Strangerville (and/or Realm of Magic), My Wedding Stories, Werewolves. Stuff Packs: Kids Room Stuff, Toddler Stuff, Tiny Living Stuff, Home Chef Hustle, Crystral Creations. It’s hard work and a challenge for sure! but we need that in the Sims 4 right? Enjoy and please feel free to share your gameplay with me on twitter (@phdsimmer) or tag your tumblr posts with “NeverEndingLegacy” or “NELegacy”. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU RUN ACROSS ANY PROBLEMS! WOULD LOVE YOUR FEEDBACK! Note: I recommend not playing active high school until it’s required. I also recommend to “save as” every now and again and transfer to a new save after a few generations at a time to reduce glitches and lag associate with large save files, you will lose your family tree but gameplay will be better. You can always create your family tree outside of the Sims 4 if you want to keep track of it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Generation 1 – Outdoor Retreat and Get to Work Although you love your job and are determined to reach the top, being stuck at work all day has taught you to appreciate nature. You love nothing more than being outside no matter the weather – be it sunbathing, hiking in Granite Falls or indulging in your passion for photography. You love to spend a few nights camping among the stars. Traits: Ambitious, Loves the Outdoors and one of your choice. Aspiration: Outdoor Enthusiast Career: Complete one of the active careers from Get to Work. Tasks: 1. Start off in either Willow Creek or Oasis Springs 2. Complete your career and aspiration. 3.

Notes: *You don’t have to play the spouses career if you don’t wish to. If you can’t find a spouse you can download from the gallery or make your own sim as long as you give them an active career. *If you have trouble finding all the insects I found this guide helpful: https://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/collections/insects.php *The Fungal Infusion Fertilizer Remedy is obtained from the hermit once you’re good friends and is an unlocked interaction. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Generation 2 – Spa Day and Get Together Moving to Windenburg as a teen gave you a fresh start and whilst your parents were always focused on their careers you were more interested in the arts and making friends. You are not as ambitious as your parents, and as long as you can make a little money from your hobbies and passions to get by you’re more than happy. Traits: Choose 3 from: Insider, Creative, Dance Machine and High Maintenance. Aspiration: Choose either Musical Genius, Best Selling Author or Painter Extraordinaire Career: Register as self-employed (painter/author or musician). This can be related to the skills you will develop with your chosen aspiration or separate if you want more of a challenge. You can also do the freelancer career in painting or writing if you wish but this is not required. Tasks: 1. Complete your aspiration. 2. Create a club or take-over leadership of an existing club. Have 8 club members. 3. Befriend all your club members and marry one of them. 4. Have a weekly club gathering. 5. Complete the wellness skill and participate in a yoga class once a week until you reach level 10 of wellness (you can stop then if you want to). 6. Woohoo in the sauna, the woohoo bush and the closet. 7. Attend each of the themed bar nights at least once: Happy Hour, Bear’s night, Alien night, Ghost Nights, Knight Knight, Single’s night and Ladies/Guy’s night depending on your heir’s gender. 8. Max the dance skill and DJ skill and host a dance party at the Bluffs to show off your new talents. 9. Treat your club to a spa day - get 2 massages, a mani/pedi, relax in the sauna, enjoy a face mask and soak in a mud bath. 10. Earn £3000 from being a yoga instructor. Notes: *I recommend using the calendar that came with seasons to remind you about having the weekly club gathering and yoga session. *I was going to make spot the loch ness sea monster (nessy) a task but that’s going to be hard so give your self a pat on the back if you see her! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Generation 3 – Dine Out Although creative in the kitchen your parents were not very skilled. Sick of putting up with bad quality and often burnt food you took over cooking for your family at a young age and have found passion in the culinary arts. However, you become invested in your business and don’t realise your home life is falling apart until it’s too late. You end up getting divorced. Traits: Foodie, Snob, Perfectionist Aspiration: Master Chef Career: Culinary (Chef) until Level 8 then quit and open your own restaurant. Tasks: 1. Get married whilst working as a Chef. You can have children during this time if you wish (these will not be able to be the heir). 2.

Notes: *You can demolish any lot in San Myshuno to make room for your restaurant. *For task 6, make sure you move out the ex-spouse and kids and not your sim otherwise your restaurant will stay with them. You can then move again within the city if you want to get a smaller place. You can always put them back after. *After playing this generation myself I realised the aspiration is fulfilled when you reach level 8 of the career, so I adjusted 2 to fit this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Generation 4 – City Living You’re the odd one out of the family and raised by your mother alone in the big city. As a chef and foodie your mother disapproves of your vegetarian lifestyle. You love it in San Myshuno though, especially since you befriended the guys who hang around outside your apartment and play basketball. They’re a bad influence on you though and you find yourself skipping school and getting into trouble a lot. Perhaps its just your way of getting attention from your mother who is busy running her restaurant? You eventually grow up and straighten out your ways and decide to pursue a career in politics enabling you to help kids growing up in the city. Traits: Vegetarian, Kleptomaniac, Hot-Headed Aspiration: City Native Career: Politics – Charity Branch Tasks: 1. Remain in San Myshuno your whole life and complete your City Native aspiration and attend all the festivals at least once and grab some swag to prove it. 3.

Steal items that add up to the value of £10,000, graffiti at least one pavement and wall in San Myshuno, join any protests you see happening and start some of your own. 5. Move out to your own apartment as soon as you become a young adult and have at least one child before you are half-way through your young-adult life stage. 6. Have at least 2 enemies before you age up into an adult (full adult not a young adult). 7. Do not have a job until you reach adulthood (full adult not young adult) so make money any way you can including stealing (see task 4). 8. When you reach full adulthood join the politics career. You do not have to complete your career but must reach at least Level 5 and chose the charity branch. 9. Complete the snow globe and city poster collections. Notes: *You can buy any swag you like at each festival. *Getting your mischief skill up will help you steal more expensive items. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Generation 5 – Parenthood You want to be the best parent you can because for most of your childhood your parents were absent. You strive to help your children in anyway you can and want them to live happy and fulfilling lives. You devote yourself to your children and have little time for your own career or hobbies. You spoil your children rotten. Traits: Family Orientated, Neat and Childish Aspiration: Super Parent Career: None (stay at home parent). Tasks: 1. Move out of San Myshuno to either Willow Creek or Oasis Springs (pick the one you did not choose for Generation 1). 2. Complete your aspiration. 3. Volunteer with your family 3 times and do 3 different activities. 4. Reach level 10 of parenting skill. 5. Get married and have 4 children – give each child a different base game aspiration (not the Growing Together ones). 6. Toddlers must get level 3 in all skills before aging up. 7.

Notes: *I recommend you don’t play active High School as we have a generation dedicated to that later. *Hint - Task 9 requires level 10 handiness skill *You can remove task 10 and 11 requirements if you don't have these stuff packs. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Generation 6 – Cats & Dogs Surrounded by a big noisy family as you grew up, you found yourself preferring the quiet company of animals. You were spoiled as a child, and this continues as you grow up with your parents loaning you the money to buy your own clinic after you leave veterinary school. Soon you realise what hard work really is and you kind of enjoy it. You are determined to pay your parents back. Traits: Cat Lover, Dog Lover and one of your choice. Aspiration: Friend of the Animals Career: Run a Vet Clinic Tasks: 1. Move to Brindleton Bay and open up a vet clinic using £15,000 loaned to you by your parents. 2. Complete your aspiration. 3.

Have a dog which has learnt all of the tricks and get a gold medal on the obstacle course. 9. Cook all the pet recipes at least once. 10. Collect all the feathers and assemble them into the bird sculpture. Notes: *Once of your three pets for task 3 can be a rodent if you have the my first pet stuff stuff pack, but only one counts. *Cow/llama/fox/rabbits from the Cottage Living pack do not count. *You can use the money cheat for task 7. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Generation 7 – Jungle Adventure and Seasons You are a generally happy and content person and love spending time in your garden and feeling the suns rays on your back.

Notes: *You can live in any world you want *You should grow as many different types of fruits, veg and flowers in your garden as you can including those for task 5 and 6. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Generation 8 – Get Famous You loved after school drama club and the attention being the lead in all the school plays got you. You dream of being a famous celebrity. You’ve been so focused on your dream you haven’t really paid much attention in school – just getting by as best you can. Despite your parent’s advice to buckle down and concentrate on your school work so you can go to college you decide to relocate to Del Sol Valley and attempt to climb the fame ladder.

THE SIREN’s CURSE (challenge)
🧜♀️ The Siren’s Curse Challenge – A Sims 4 Legacy of Death and Water Created by: @simzfreakz Genre: Story-driven supernatural challenge Style: Generational-lite, fantasy drama Playable In: Base game + Island Living recommended (for mermaids) Inspired by: Gothic myths, tragic mermaid folklore, and simmering generational trauma 💀 THE LEGEND “A mermaid’s love comes with a price. If she brings life into the world, then when that life grows… hers must end.” Centuries ago, a mermaid made a deal with the ocean to protect her child. In exchange, the sea demanded the bloodline. Now, every mermaid born into this cursed legacy must die when their child becomes a teenager. But only if they’re a mermaid. Some children are spared. Some are born human and escape the sea’s grip. But when a mermaid is born again in the bloodline… the curse returns. 🧜♀️ THE RULES This is not a traditional generational challenge. Think of it more like Rags to Riches or the Not So Berry Challenge — a set of gameplay rules to guide your storytelling. 🌊 SETUP Create your founder: A young adult human Sim named whatever you want. Move them into Sulani (or a beach lot of your choosing). Within 7 in-game days, they must become a mermaid using Mermadic Kelp. They must have at least one biological child after becoming a mermaid. Build a beach mansion before their death — it will become the family home. 🔱 THE CURSE When a mermaid gives birth, she will die the moment her child becomes a teenager. The curse only activates if the parent is a mermaid (born or turned by kelp). The death must be natural or planned (drowning, old age, emotional death, etc.). No cheating death — no Ambrosia, no Dedeathify, no resurrection. If the parent is not a mermaid, nothing happens. They live. If no mermaids are born, the curse remains dormant until one is. BLOODLINE RULES 🩸 Sim Type Mermaid? Has Kids? Kid Becomes Teen? Result Turned Mermaid (Kelp) Yes Yes Yes Dies Human Sim No Yes Yes Lives Born Mermaid Yes Yes Yes Dies Born Mermaid Yes No No Lives Adopted Child No No Yes Lives The curse follows the bloodline, not the household. 🧬 CURSE CHAIN If your founder dies because of the curse, but their child is not a mermaid → the curse ends. If a mermaid is born again later (ex: a grandchild), the curse reactivates. Only one mermaid per generation is allowed — either naturally born or by kelp. No more. You may choose which child is cursed by giving them mer
