[AA] Modular curtains are missing curtain rod
I have looked through all of Adventure Awaits buy mode and cannot find the curtain rod for the modular curtains included in the pack, like previous modular curtains have had in For Rent and Desert Luxe. Please see the included image to better understand. The beam-like rod is missing? Maybe due to a tagging issue? The curtain rods in For Rent and Desert Luxe are called The Hardly Suspicious Curtain Rod and Decidedly Neutral Curtain Mount. When fixed I want to see a curtain rod piece for the modular curtains in Adventure Awaits. Mods/CC: I have removed them and tested in a new save.SolvedKalliker15 days agoSeasoned Scout3.7KViews4likes21Comments
[AA] [SD] Custom Venue: Give Massage not option for activity
In the recent YouTube short, it shows various possibilities for Custom Venues with various packs installed. One notable one was for a Spa that had workers front and center giving Massages on both tables and chairs yet this activity/interaction does not exist in the list of possible activities for the lot. There is “Do Spa Activities” but that would all sims both give and receive massages yet there is no separation of the two. As you can see, there is definite separation between a Staff and a Grim Reaper Sim? And this being advertised as a Retreat, you would think there would be a Staff Role that could come and go at certain times to deliver such massages. But again, there is no “Give Massages” or “Tend Message Table/Chair” activity. Unrelated, but this is true for the Tattoo table as well.

False Magnet name in the new Forever Friends Events
Hi there Sims Team, just wanted to let you know that you used the wrong name for the Yamachan magnet in the newest Forever Friends event. This mascot is famously from Mt. Komorebi, not from San Myshuno. I just stumbled upon this while scrolling through the upcoming rewards, so I thought I might as well let you know.SolvedYuiri-Chan25 days agoSeasoned Novice39Views0likes2Comments
dine out benches not snapping
Benches from the Dine Out pack are no longer snapping correctly to tables that previously supported dual bench seating. This setup was working fine two days ago. Now, roughly only 1 out of 10 benches allows chairs to snap on both sides. I tested this using identical items placed manually and via the copy tool. The issue persists regardless of placement method. Mods: Only MCCC is installed. No other mods or custom content. Reproduction Steps: 1. Place a Dine Out table that supports booth seating. 2. Add identical benches to both sides. 3. Attempt to snap chairs or test routing. 4. Observe that only one bench setup allows proper snapping; others fail. Expected Result: Benches should snap to both sides of compatible tables as they did previously. Actual Result: Only one bench setup snaps correctly. Others do not allow seating or routing. Game Version: 1.118.242.1030 (latest patch had to use VSC to grab this) Gameversion.txt prints: ⸱ㄱ⸸㐲⸲〱〳 Platform: PC (Windows) Packs Owned: All packs except the latest pre-order and approximately four kits. Additional Notes: Video attached clearly shows the issue. No template was provided, so I’ve included all relevant details manually.Solvedtomtomvader29829 days agoSeasoned Traveler63Views0likes3Comments

EA please stop locking event aspirations/traits/objects after event is over.
Feel free to add your comment as to why your agree or disagree. I'd greatly appreciate it if we could all be nice. This is just the way it's always been but I think we need to voice the need for change. This is my biggest reason why. The event I'm speaking about.... below pictures, is why... Kindness Ambassador (Reward Trait) – Kindness Ambassadors have stronger friendships and fewer Negative emotions. and unlock the “Challenge to be Kind” interaction to use on other Sims? Why? I did this challenge a loooooong time ago and lost literally everything because the EA HELP people back then said my game, which only had a few CC items in it, was 100% corrupted because of cc and with their guidance and help deleted everything Sims 4 off my tower and reloaded everything just as though I had bought everything that day! There were both positive and negative consequence's but losing this aspiration and trait was and still is, the biggest negative one for me. That was the day I vowed to never ever use CC (I have never used mod's) ever again; I have not! I hear encouragement to use cc & mod when I hear - "let us help you prevent issues with your mod's and cc before an update and then say in the same breath - we do not support, endorse or oversee cc or mod. I have seen changes made to the base game to accommodate the use of cc and mod, or at least that's what I perceived was happening. The only viable and the easiest way to avoid this particular issue would be to stop locking up access to these event aspirations/traits/objects. If it's free... it should be free to everyone, always. Otherwise, it's not really free is it?Solved224Views15likes16Comments
DLC Proposal for The Sims 4 – Inspired by Miraculous Ladybug
Hi Sims team and fellow players! As a huge fan of both The Sims 4 and the animated series Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, I’d love to suggest a magical crossover DLC that could bring a whole new level of adventure and style to the game. Here's what I imagine: 🏙️ New City: A Paris-inspired world with iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, cozy cafés, a school, and mysterious alleyways. 👗 New Characters & Outfits: Costumes and CAS items based on Ladybug, Cat Noir, Rena Rouge, Queen Bee, and more. 🐞 Special Powers: Transformations, magical items, and missions to protect the city from akumatized villains. 💞 Story Scenarios: Romance, secrets, friendship, and heroic challenges woven into gameplay. I believe this DLC would appeal not only to fans of the show but also to players who love storytelling, fashion, and vibrant worlds. The Sims community is full of creative energy, and this could be a truly enchanting addition. Thanks for considering this idea — fingers crossed it reaches the right ears! 💬✨Solved140Views0likes1Comment
Survey 2024 feedback
reminder before reading further: it's a feedback from this survey in which it's from last year back in 2024: Survey Expansion Pack ideas 2024 based on my idea i was skeptical if i should share it in the general chat or in this category but i realized it's in the feedback category someone suggested i should make things clearer so i'll share the link in here with the finished version from the Expansion Pack 7# idea which is about to come out it's this one (i just hope the teams are okay for sharing the link but i promise you it's just the information which Adventure Awaits has to offer, that's all, i'm very cautious with links nowadays after the last few times) (i remembered i made a list back in 2022 which is merged since recently, and one of the list mentioned summercamp for little kids so it's a dream coming true, i guess the team do take my list seriously despite my post which exist since 2022) the reason why i mention Expansion Pack 7# first before the rest of the pack ideas is because this version is about to come out Expansion Pack 1# Dive into a colorful ocean world filled with fun and adventure. Explore underwater landscapes, find hidden treasures, and meet diverse marine life. Build your dream property on the beach or open ocean, and create an aquarium with collected artifacts and aquatic life. Travel from unique ocean neighborhood location to discover each small town, meet the locals, and trade goods. Live on houseboats, fish from rowboats, or explore with submarines. With underwater and open water spaces, every dive and every sea-faring offers new discoveries. there's a list for feedback made by someone else so i don't have much to add but i do hope mermaids gets expanded more, a secret portal you can enter another beaches (Sulani, Tartosa, Tomarang and innisgreen) and an underwater world, i hope we get personality traits and aspirations that match with the Open Ocean/Underwater pack and maybe perhaps a career or similar to Sulani you have to take care of the enviroment (i remembered my first vote went to this Expansion Pack idea) i hope the team can do something on this feedback from someone else which mentions an underwater world based pack and this also quite match with the Expansion Pack #1 ideas and i recently shared my thoughts, i've wanted it in my own post but it got merged here's my version of an open ocean/underwater ideas i know it gets overlooked very easily (the closest one the team could've merged my idea was the second link based on the Expansion Pack 1# idea, oh well😅😅) Expansion Pack 2# Sims take life on the road with a customizable travel van, exploring picturesque destinations and engaging in meaningful experiences with locals from different worlds. Trade items, recipes, and stories from each location, then return to a world where Sims dream to retire to update your van and dive deeper into the mechanic career. Partake in whimsical misadventures with family or solo, and enjoy expanded elder activities during their golden years, enriching generational storytelling. i love it has things for elders, maybe we perhaps can have a trailer venue similar to Tiny Living venue but smaller, we can have games that match with elder sims perfectly, have a potion or personality trait they won't get exhausted, maybe we can have aspirations exclusive to elder sims (i don't know if i ever shared my ideas in this forum but i'd like if there are more things to do than the things that got mentioned in the description) i don't think someone made the post, i do created a post but it's with the survey ideas from this year combined it's the combination of the 3 which is vehicles related: i prefer to have a Expansion Pack which are all cars related and i want more things to do for elders elders can travel all over the world, share their history, culture, activities, traditions what they do etc, tell younger lifestages how to ride a car, give advices etc Expansion Pack 3# Traverse an uncharted, otherwordly extreme environment where civilization has collapsed and nature has reclaimed the remnants of a once-great city. Master adaptation skills to survive and thrive, from finding basic resources and creating makeshift shelters to creating homes for your team of Sims whom, with your unique skills combined, you will partner with to get through crumbling structures, overgrown streets, and hidden corners of a vast, post-apocalyptic landscape. The game blends exploration, survival, and strategy elements, introducing exotic pets, expanded fishing, and a survivalist career, and introduces a dynamic resource management based on availability. i ranked it lower because i'm not the storyline kinda type similar to Strangerville so i don't know if i have anything to say but i do hope it won't be as useless as Strangerville once the storylines is over (my least favourite out of the 9 Expansion Pack ideas but i respect the opposite opinions from others and i'll be happy for others who wants this Expansion Pack) but feel free to share your thoughts with the feedbacks before they plans to make it an official Expansion (or Game) Pack if i do see a topic similar to this i'd link this here👍 Expansion Pack 4# Journey with your Sims as they explore a newly discovered prehistoric landscape and join the exclusive Adventure Camp on the diverse coastal regions of Oceania Shores. Uncover rare prehistoric and marine fossils, new plant species, and document the unique wildlife and natural wonders of coastal and inland biomes. Customize and contribute to museums you curate that blend adventure and education, showcasing these incredible finds while inspiring visitors and creating activities for children that share the importance of conservation and adventure skills. * it's in the 4th place with the Expansion Pack idea for me and i'd like to have a pack based on the future but also the history and this is in the latter category because it mentions about prehistoric, maybe we can have dinosaur? have new collections? personality traits and aspirations that match with the pack ideas? maybe a portal you will go back to the past so the items we are using now can get locked once you enter the past (computers, tv and other technology things are locked when in buy/build mode) i hope the team can do something with the feedbacks based on prehistoric pack because we all share our ideas based on a prehistoric pack Expansion Pack 5# Transport your Sims to a near-future vibrant cyberpunk world where they can explore a neon-lit gritty city advancing the latest Sims technology from enhance their bodies with cutting-edge cybernetics to homelife conveniences. As a human or robot Sim, dive into tech-focused hobbies and careers through underworld professions such as cybernetic cosmetics to robot fighting rings; discover relationships between humans bots, and everyone in between; and navigate the moral complexities of nature versus technology in this futuristic, whimsically dystopian world. i love the idea based on technology and futuristic things, cyberpunk and everything going digital but i'd like to add i hope it's more similar to Tecna's world called Zenith (it's from Winx Club and it doesn't have to be named after Tecna's world though) which also involves technology things, sure it can be a mix with other worlds but i want everything technology and digital related and each have their own ideas based on the Expansion Pack 5# idea (i know it was on the speculation list for the 20th Expansion Pack before it was official but i do hope they can wait on making this Expansion Pack idea, it's not exactly on the top 5 list but it IS on my 7th list out of the 9 Expansion Pack ideas, it's not my priority but i do like to have them in the game) this should be included aswell because this also quite match with technology pack idea (i'm sure it can be merged so i can delete this version later) Expansion Pack 6# Choose your Sims’ path: become notorious criminals, revered law enforcers, or somewhere in between. Small-time crime like pickpocketing for grilled cheese can quickly escalate into high-stakes bank heists for rare jewels. From shady back alley deals to intense stakeouts, navigate the underbelly of a gritty city filled with gritty locations like pool halls and an unsavory cast of characters. Will your Sims rise to power as mafia bosses and con artists, uphold justice as crime-fighting heroes, or play both sides? i know i made a post called "Hatestruck" but i started to realize one of my ideas should be in this pack because it mentions criminal things, playing the bad guy so instead of involving the burglar (you get to play as a burglar as a active career) in the hatestruck pack idea, it match with this version much better, i think it match with 3 links combined perfectly it's a bit of crime related -i doubt it should be merged because this is quite different than the latter 2 though- and also Crime related and especially this one which is crime related i hope the teams take notes on this with all this combined (i'm not the drama kind of type but if i want something different, playing the bad guy, stealing things etc i'd like to have this in The Sims 4) i promise i'll report the topic which is similar to each other especially the description so i can delete the other 2 links once it's taken care of Expansion Pack 8# Dive into a vibrant 80s/90s retro world with bustling mall venues and freelance careers. Hang out at the arcade, comic book store, gameboard café, and ramen shop. Enjoy classic activities like tabletop role-playing games, landline phones, and rollerblading. Be a babysitter, deliver newspapers, or be the beloved lifeguard at the community pool. Have a blast on the water slide and drink from the hose while reliving this vintage era through old-time objects, unique storylines, and unforgettable drama. i would LOVE to have a 80/90's Expansion Pack, i made my own version with things i'd like to add as a Expansion Pack, i don't think i have anything to add since i mentioned all of these what they could add (this one made it to the top 5 i'd like to have as an Expansion Pack) i just discovered this link similar to mine which match with the Expansion Pack 8# ideas Expansion Pack 9# Experience the grandeur and drama of modern monarchy as you build your Sims legacy in a culturally rich world. From managing high-rise estates and navigating political intrigue to customizing luxurious fashion and high-end living, this pack offers a unique blend of traditional and contemporary royal life. Forge alliances, engage in rivalries, and shape your destiny as you rise from commoner to beloved ruler or navigate the complexities of royal succession. Adopt exclusive pets, go shopping for luxury items and favors for your close-knit circle of trusted (and not-so-trusted) friends. Live the life of luxury, influence, and power, and create a legacy that will be remembered for generations. i'd love to have a castle pack and i would've voted for that idea if it was more like a medieval pack but this is a monarchy based pack idea but i do saw a topic based on the monarchy pack based on the past with royal and stuff and this one which is royal related you should take a look with all of these ideas (i'll be happy for those who wants this pack once the monarchy and royalty comes out even if i'm not too thrilled of it myself) since some expansion pack ideas are easier to give feedbacks than some other expansion pack ideas, i decided to link it instead so the team can take a look at it from someone elses feedbacks i sure hope they can wait on making all of these Expansion Pack ideas which are all on the survey from last year for a little while so they can take a look at it and create a list which match with the pack and maybe combine it into 1 pack the Expansion Pack 7# which involves around Summercamp, i'm so glad it's more than just a summercamp and i heard the team were working on it for years since it said "the most expensive" pack ever that's the main reason why i said they should be waiting before they make these survey packs official, i don't want the team to rush things with these packs ideas😘❤️❤️Solved149Views0likes1CommentLifestages related pack ideas
anything that's lifestage related ideas can be placed here (and i mean a certain specific lifestage pack completely based on a certain lifestage) it can be a pack which is centered on infant, toddler, child, teen, elder and maybe even preteens and middle aged/late adult lifestages (if the latter 2 lifestages ever gets added in the game) maybe perhaps even baby?

I've spent bare minimum $1000.00 USD. on the sims 4 with all of their cash grabbing tactics. they have no regard for their customer base at all. I have lost complete interest in the game as a whole, I don't even enjoy with videos of lets builds on yt anymore because of the absolute neglect of this game. constant crashing can't build or edit sims in CAS because the game will randomly freeze and crash or I'm forced to restart the game entirely. This should not be happening. The fairy pack just came out and they are releasing another pack before even fixing the issues that have been happening since city living. They just keep pumping out broken content left and right without an apology or transparency with what's going on. I sincerely wish there was a way to recuperate the money I've wasted on this game. The game wouldn't even launch on my xbox for like 3 days straight and now it opens but constantly crashes when in game. All I wanna do when I get off of work is enjoy myself and relax a bit with the game I've invested deeply in, but I cannot even do that because its so frustrating trying to even play the game now. All I want to do is build with the items I've purchased. I don't feel like I'm asking for much. I would be so much more excited for this new pack If the game wasn't an absolute train wreck in every way. I've been looking into other games similar and it doesn't seem like others have near as many problems as this game does. so upsetting to think of the wasted time money and energy spent on this game. I use console so I don't have mods/CC. I use cheats but who doesn't, it's a mechanic put into the game by EA, these features should work and not corrupt the game. It is not fair to the consumer to be forced to find solutions or work arounds for a game made by a company this big. seems like all the money EA makes off the sims 4 paid by consumers goes back into other games and not the sims 4. fire the whole sims 4 team and get someone in there that actually knows how to create a quality product, They like to make cute bubbly videos and play in our faces with sunshine and rainbows and then send out something that's broken and of poor quality, disatisfied but still fall victim in hopes they've gotten their stuff together. thank you for maybe reading my rant or at least the last of it, just so disappointed in the game as whole.Solved214Views5likes2Comments
[MOO RELATED] Sims prepare Food Inside Microwave/Counter Appliances/Sink
This problem has been going on for a month or so now and it happens across households. It is most noticeable when I have a sim cook food but it also happens when a sim eats food or is doing homework or reading. First example is when a sim goes to cook and gets food from the fridge, they will ignore that there is a coffee pot or microwave on the counter and prepare food on top of the item even when there is plenty of counter or island space to do so. I don't find that it happens quite as often in the preparation process as it does when they are done cooking and go to sit the meal down. They will sit it on the coffee pot or microwave. But it's not like on top of them, it is inside them. You can see this in the following screenshots and that there is plenty of counter space all around so there is no reason this should be happening as far as I can see. This also happens with desks that have computers on them. Sims will sit down at the desk to do homework and have their book open on top of the keyboard and be writing. Occasionally they will also sit down at a desk and eat food that way as well. I find it odd when there is plenty of tablespace or even they could sit on a couch or something. It's like they do not recognize that there is a keyboard there . Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title fit migrated bug report.

Too many Sims dying!!??
Is there not a way to stop all of your sims' friends dying? I don't have aging turned on, but I'm getting several phone calls every day saying "so-and-so has died, thought you'd like to know" my sim is forever feeling either fine or sad because she is constantly in a state of mourning..

I would love to see an expansion on the careers DLC where you can actually visit a hospital to get cured if you are ill. My sim got a sickness that always made him angry and medicine didn’t do anything. It’s forcing me to wait for the negative effect to go away. Second thing, can we please fix the PS5 version of The Sims 4 where I don’t have to keep agreeing to the EULA all the time, adjust my screen, and spam circle to clear all the DLC notifications?Solved82Views3likes5Comments
Possible Bug: Robin Banks automatically steals things upon friendly visits.
I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but it feels like a bug so I'm going to report it. I'm not talking about when she comes to your property as a burglar during a burglar event. I'm talking about when you befriend her and she comes over for a visit, then walks up and snatches my $5000 couch and there's no way to get it back. Seems like a bug to me. I think it has something to do with the hidden burglar trait she has that works even if she's not actually burglarizing you. I have to tell her to go away all the time now because whenever she gets invited in, she always takes at least one item. Maybe look into this one?Solved82Views0likes2Comments
[EBN] Balance system reacts way to extreme
My Sim got hysterical from using a mischief interaction and instantly(!) his balance dumped from the top to the very inbalanced state and he got an ailment (all in one second). I am very much in favor of more difficulty (and a little chaos) in the game, but this seems way too extreme. Above all the other way (getting from the bottom to a balanced state) seems to be a lot slower (which is absolutely fine, since it should reflect the long term mood). I feel like sudden jumps like this should not happen. It makes sense that extreme emotions like hysterical affect the balance more than others, but there should still be the possibility (and the time) to counteract. I consider this to be a bug, because it makes the balance system rather unplayable for me (which is a pity).Solvedflauschtrud4 months agoSeasoned Ace817Views11likes32Comments
