[EBN] Gnome Ailment way too much.
I turned balance/imbalance off but I still get the ailments daily without being about to stop the last one. I got the gnome ailment just now, which lasts 2 in game days. These gnomes break every single appliance in the house, spread trash piles everywhere, and even set things on fire. I had so many things break that I left the lot out of frustration and when I came back, I had 3 fires in 1 irl minute. This then extended to 7 fires in 3 irl minutes. That is way too often, especially since there doesnt seem to be a way I can get the gnomes to stop. They break things before the last 2 in game hour moodlet goes away and then set fire to everything. I cant even unpause the game right now because I know the second I do, I'll have an eighth fire. I have spent $10k simoleons replacing everything because it ALL breaks too often to repair it or even attempt to. Update: I unpaused it and an eighth happened. Then immediately as soon as it went out, a 9th and 10th happened. My sim is about to die to her needs because she cant do anything but put out fires and all of her appliances are broken constantly.Latias470738 minutes agoSeasoned Newcomer28Views3likes3CommentsGallery requests
Please see the below list of feedback for requested changes to the Gallery. Thank you for your time and consideration! EDIT: Many thanks for the additional feedback y'all. I've revised my post to include all the requests in a list for easier reading. If anyone would like to share more feedback, I'll add it here. Bring back the News-feed (please, please, please 🤗) Increase the character limits for... Player Bio Household / Lot / Room descriptions Comments on shares Add a "Recommended" filter or new tab which includes shares that are similar to creations we have favorited, saved and placed in the game (Would it also be possible to recommend creators who have similar styles to those we've followed?) Distinguish between lots with different orientations, ex. 30x20 (front has 30 tiles) and 20x30 (front has 20 tiles) Add Color filters for shares that primarily use specific colors for décor, trim, furniture, clothing, etc. Thanks again! 😊281Views8likes18CommentsFukuda is a common Japanese surname, not a swear word
I was playing in Mount Komorebi when my Sim encountered a local townie. The townie in question was wearing a hideous outfit but otherwise was rather good looking so I took him into CAS and gave him a makeover (I normally just delete townies who are horrifying to look at). I didn't change his name. When I was exiting CAS, the game gave me a warning that the Sim's name contains a forbidden word. Excuse me? First of all, I didn't name this Sim, the game randomly generated his name. Second of all, Fukuda is a normal Japanese name, there's nothing inappropriate about it and it's ridiculous to censor it. For the immature minds at EA: Sorry to disappoint you, but Fukuda is not even pronounced similarly to the famous English swear word.Perti233 hours agoNew Veteran66Views5likes3CommentsCan't slot xenopetrium into Element Display Rack
I am having an issue with the Element Display Rack with one of the elements named "Xenopetrium" not wanting to go into the the display rack. I have no issues with any of the other elements in the pack but the xenopetrium element. I am using the standard edition on PC. I have not had an issue with this until the drag and drop issue. After the patch fix to address the drag and drop the only thing I can't drop into its slot is the "xenopetrium" element.

Hello where can I tell the Sims creators about my suggestions? I would love to recommend, allowing the Sims the options to open and close the windows also make the weather unpredictable make the game more realistic guess that’s what I’m looking for. I play the Sims a lot. I have been a sins fan for many many years.and I love the game sooo much I just wanna see it more realisticallyBamsprinkles4 hours agoNew Novice13Views1like0CommentsGive us an option to play the world without the pack features!
I would love if we could turn off all pack features and be able to play in the worlds without being forced to have back to back ailments or the phases that come with teens. Also, why can't we limit aliens to Oasis Springs and Limit Spellcasters to their world and Limit Vampires to their world. *Turning of Balance does not stop ailments 25 years playing this game and the idea of the packs far outweigh the reality 90% of the time. At this point, I'd be willing to pay a smaller amount of money to get new worlds(empty or not). I just don't want any more features that ruin my gameplay and force me into a certain type of playstyle without having an option to play as I want to.onyx7796 hours agoRising Rookie25Views2likes1CommentNO ADS on Title Screen until you fix the dim screen bug

Just to be clear what I am going for is a bit of old school luxury in my hotel choices. Something that centers around the aesthetics and service. Also since the Sims tends to skew American I went for more of a Great Britain feel with a bit of luxury Egypt. I tossed in a little Overlook Hotel too. This may not be everyone's cup of tea stylistically speaking, some people maybe want something simple like a bed & breakfast or the great American Road trip where you stay in kinda tacky cheap places. Speaking of the Great American Road Trips, if you like Cars (and all they entail), Tattoos, Tacky Roadside Attractions, Motels check this link On The Road GP or if you add Motels EP- Cars, Maintenance, Car Shows, Roadside Attractions | EA Forums - 2353731 Absolute Must Haves for a Hotel Pack Not tied to any particular world so we are free to place one in any world we want Check In/Concierge Desk in design styles that would match the potential vacation zones.

Hi, Some skills are updated and others are completely ignored. Maxis "favorite" skills : Cooking / Gourmet Cooking / Mixology Fitness Fishing Gardening Handiness : Finally woodworking gets new recipes and a kit brought restoration Photography / Painting : sims can paint anything Video gaming : Some games used to be added years ago Neglected skills : Comedy : No new jokes. A jester would have more to offer (acrobatics, juggling, performing magic tricks, jokes in song). It could also include mime. Guitar / Piano / Violin : No new songs. Maybe with Showtime EP we will get something. Mischief : No new voodoo doll powers or mischievous interactions Programming : No new hacks Writing : No new books . Maybe potions, magic spells and voodoo curses could be a knowledge that the sims should write in a grimoire (Magic book of Family recipes protected by a spell). Career books could be a way to boost the performances (efficiency gain) "Dead end" skills ? : Charisma : Many features already boost the relationships. Logic : Do the sims never use their brain ??? No it doesn't count when zombies eat it. Rocket Science : New rockets ? But to do what ???NoahLGP13 hours agoSeasoned Ace143Views9likes7CommentsButler beds NEEDS a slight tweak please
When a butler is hired we have to assign a bed to them. The problem is that when the butlers switch out, you have to assign the bed again to the replacement butler. The assign bed to butler shouldn't be to an individual, but to the profession. That way whatever butler that is on site and working can automatically use the bed. Half the time I don't even notice that they switched out until they're getting thought bubbles about a bed or I find them in my sim's beds. Or, worst case, this happens because I didn't notice at all. The parents were at work and the butler was throwing a fit because she was too tired and both kids were screaming because they were hungry and had nasty diapers. And then she passed out in the floor briefly and then did what she could. But it was too late and the parents got home and the dad came in and was ticked off because his nephew was covered in poop. Please, please fix the butler bed to work for all butlers!Nightgypsy13 hours agoSeasoned Ace11Views0likes0CommentsAdditions to Ranch Hand
I love the ranch hand mechanic from the Horse Ranch expansion, however, I think it would benefit from more options: Interactions with the Bee Box from the Seasons expansion, mainly applying the mite treatment Interactions with the Insect Farm from Eco Lifestyle expansion, mainly feeding the insects The ability to clean the chicken coops from the Cottage Living expansion, I am unsure if this is already available but I have yet to see it happen... The ability to fill the Bird Feeder from the Backyard Stuff expansion These are all outdoor activities that involve food/farming and animals in some way, and I feel like it would not be a stretch to have the ranch hands perform these duties.metzger42519 hours agoNew Traveler785Views5likes3CommentsSuggestion: Relatives cheat for shift-click
Can we have an option to make sims relatives (or not) with the shift-click cheat?

Island living is often regarded as small pack.I think a refresh will do some good 1.Revamped mermaids I feel like mermaids get a bad wraped. Adding new powes and maybe a mini skill tree could be ideal.Adding more actions ,you can do underwater. Like maybe you can have rabithole option to grabbed fish or find treasure underwater.Maybe add the ability for other mermaids can like another supernatireaul make humans mermaids by a kiss. Make a couple hidden undwater lots. For the human side island living.There is a lot of polyesean culuture.So maybe they can add dancing or Hulu dancing. Maybe evan be able teach others how to dance.

Hello there, everyone! Even though I’ve been a huge fan since The Sims 1 was released, I’m only participating in the forums now so I don’t actually know if this has been discussed already. I apologize in advance if it has. Wouldn’t it be amazing if we could at least have open districts in which there wasn’t any loading screens between the lots? We all know that open world is not a possibility, but I think open districts would be AMAZING! If we had at least the ability to load 2 lots simultaneously would already make the experience of playing The Sims 4 so much more enjoyable. Since there aren’t any MODs available for such mechanics, I can only assume it’s harder than I think. But if the developers made these changes, the game would be nearly perfect. What are your thoughts?RenanPisi20 hours agoSeasoned Vanguard41Views4likes2Comments[EBN] Enchanted by Nature is the first EP I've truly regretted purchasing.
Playing with a brand new Save in a brand new The Sims 4 folder. No mods. No CC. It's a beautiful World .... but: My game has crashed 4 times in 2 days. I rarely have a game crash. I can't repair my game because "We've paused the download because you don't own this title." The Balance and Luck systems overwhelms all other gameplay. The method for monitoring Balance and Luck is buried in the Simology tab. Making it difficult to keep tabs on whilst playing. Especially when playing with multiple Sims. Balance and Luck change dramatically, suddenly and inexplicably. E.G. My Sim is fine. Needs are fine. Suddenly he's not caught a fish and his luck is bad? His Balance has plummeted? And now he has some ailment he can't afford to cure so he has to abandon all else to go off in search of a cure. And my Sim hasn't even made it to becoming a Fairy. Sheesh. Back to my regular game. Looking to relax so I open up the household of my nice elderly retired Sim. Of course she's cooking. Of course she catches on fire. Plum. Bad Luck. Out of Balance. Argh. Turned it all off. I am not enchanted.432Views16likes24Comments[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).flauschtrud21 hours agoSeasoned Ace498Views10likes30Comments[NCQE] Not getting all consumable awards with ended event

Hello there, fellow Simmers! Since The Sims 4 was released, the loading screens have been a huge issue and an utterly annoying immersion breaker. Wouldn’t it be fabulous we we had at least some cutscenes showing our Sims getting in a car, bus, train, subway, airplane etc. depending on where they’re traveling to or how far they are from the chosen destination? I’ve always had this thought on my mind and I think it would make the game feel much more alive and immersive. The lack of open world mechanics could be compensated if the loading screens were more fun and interactive, don’t you think? I know nothing about programming and game making, but it doesn’t seem like such an absurd change to the way the game works. We used to have some beautiful and extremely interesting cutscenes back in The Sims 2. I think it’s long overdue they make a comeback. Thoughts?RenanPisi21 hours agoSeasoned Vanguard26Views3likes1Comment
