Can we have "like water activities" without using the Child of the Ocean trait?
I had this unexpected issue when I wanted to make a sim who likes swimming and doing activities related to the ocean, but still likes to eat fish as well. But "Child of the Ocean" will have a negative moodlet and even the disgust reaction when eating fish. I can't stand this, so I avoid using this trait for my purpose. I don't want to use the mod for adding a trait (not sure about the footprint in the save file when I remove it later). However, even though I can accept adding a "like&dislike" section instead, I found that there is still no choice for "swimming" or "water activities". Water activities choice can be found as a "tradition" in the holiday. But I would like to have a choice to assign "like water activities" to specific sims, not just for club or holiday. ---- Until then, what I can do is just "pretend" myself. But it would be best if it could add a later time, just like a phone and a computer. Thank you!1View0likes0CommentsMermaids occults revisited
Mermaids occults revisited Love the mermaids but I felt like they gotten the short end of the stick like the aliens not having a skill tree The skill tree The tree level should go from Sea witch 5th level sea witch once u hit this level u will be able to stop aging at the young adult stage u can turn sims into mermaids u can make deals with sims u can give and take a away buffs u can age or turn a sim young again or u can give an occult level up or lowering there level by making deals u can take a buff or occult from them as payment adagardis 4th level the adagardis can Influence more then one person with there singing making them flirty or whatever emotion you want them in u can make the start fights over u or u can make them end a relationship that they are in or help them in that relationship u can also influence there friendship or romance gages nereids 3rd level nereids have the ability to influence the weather making it rain thunderstorm making it hot cold windy or snowing u also have weather powers u can make Little rain clouds over sims or thunder clouds u can make it rain or snow inside or outside and u can freeze sims in a block of ice and hold them in there until u decide u want to let them out or make a water ball to trap a mermaid in there until u want to release it or not Siren 2sec level Sirens the can sing lure people to the water to drown them have influence over there emotions making them flirty ur singing can give them buffs or if u kiss the sim u can make them dehydrate them or can make them breathe under water longer or summon the kraken to drown them Mermaid 1st level Mermaids they step foot in the water and they turn they can call upon fish and dolphins can Savage in the ocean The witches flask When ur making a deal with the witch the witch will take something from u a buff or maybe a occult level or maybe just take ur occult away it will be random or of the witches or ur choosing and let's say if a sim gets one of the witch's flask like let's say if a sims vampirism in there and if there max out the sim gets all of the ability unlock or if there was buff in the flask they will get that buff The payment U can sell ur soul or give her or him ur buff or they can age u up or lower ur occults level down or take ur occult or it could be random depending on the price or on the witch there a good witch and a bad witch (need cauldron) Cauldron Like the wizard u can make potions to help sim breath under water longer or make an air bubble around the head for 30 mins or less u can also use the cauldron as a looking glass to watch the sim that owes u payment and to summon the sims or mermaids or bless or hex a random sim depends on u Good witch bad witch The good witch can cure any illness and cure an occult can give traits buffs and if there is a willing occult to give up there abilitys the witch can transfer to u if willing and can age or make them young again for a fair trade and if the sims die they can bring them back to life and if they past on they can bring them back from the other side but that's in the heaven and hell dlc idea I have if u want to go look lol Evil sea witch u can make deals contracts they can take buffs or traits or force to age u up or even taking ur soul or ur occult turning u back to normal or lower ur occults skill level and if u want to turn into occult u would have to kidnap a sim and the witch will steal the occult and give it to u for u soul and can also bring back the dead sims or the one that past on to the other side but need heaven or hell dlc idea I have on my page lol If u have The Seasons expansion U can use water ball to hold the mermaids in place so they can't swim away wind ball could hold a sim in place when ur underwater so they can breathe and with the ice u can freeze in place until u decide to let them go Hydration gauge And the meter will be the same with the hydration with the hydration washing ur hands taking shower swimming that will keep full which we know but if u kiss a sim u can drain all the moisture making them them dehydrate and feeling up ur water gauge it won't kill the sim it would just make them thirty which will an hydration option if u want to use it Mermaid tails Like how they have mermaid tails they should make some fancy octopus legs or shark tails and also have some fins on the arms and back or maybe cheeks with some gills and hand webbing as add-ons The bottom is for the for the Angel and demon occult dlc idea I had go take look at it and tell me what u think Mermaid inspired angel *Scales with Iridescent Sheen*: Shimmering scales that reflect light like angel wings, giving them an ethereal appearance *Aquatic Wings*: Instead of traditional wings, they have flowing, fin-like appendages that allow them to swim and glide through water with ease. *Oceanic Halo*: A soft blue glow surrounding their head, representing their connection to the ocean and its secrets Mermaid inspired demon *Scales with Smoldering Ember*: Dark, fiery scales that reflect the glow of hellish flames, giving them a menacing appearance. *Infernal Fins*: Instead of traditional wings, they have sharp, jagged fins that allow them to slice through the water with deadly precision. *Dark Tides Aura*: A mysterious, dark purple glow surrounding their head, representing their mastery over the darkest depths of the ocean and its hidden terrors.1.5KViews48likes33Comments- Sixpence25 hours agoSeasoned Vanguard25Views0likes1Comment

(Edited to add new ideas) 1. Old concept arts: I found out those discarded concept arts from the game and i really fell in love with them and i think they could definetly come back with kits. (NEW) 70s Hippie (NEW) Hillbilly Red Carpet concepts 2. General fashion ideas: Harness fashion: This kind of fashion is quite popular between famous people and is becoming regular and beloved by fans on current games that have romance simulation and i think they'd look amazing on occults too so why not bring it in a kit? Beach party/Mermaidcore: This could be a great opportunity to add more outfit options for sims that loves beach and also mermaids. Maximalist fashion: I really liked the idea of the maximalism deco kit and i think we should now get one for clothes, giving fun and messy way to dress our sims. 3. Townie inspired Kits: I really liked the idea of Townie Kits but i'd go with two different kits for each items category (CAS and BB) and options for masc/fem. That being said after the townies survey i've imagined some of them getting their own CAS kits and how tgat would be. Here are my ideas: Caleb Vatore - I think this one could easily comb the "Femme/Homme fatale" concept arts as it brings sexy, classy and vampiric style. It could also have some of the "Red Carpet" ideas. Lilith Vatore - For her i imagine something more bold and edgy given her leather/latex clothes. As she is an extrovert and want to have a family of vampires i imagine her being more sexy and edgy, and coukd even include some Harness Fashion ideas to the kit. Nancy Landgraab - Nancy is an aristocratic sim and all about her wealth, so i imagine her being as luxurious as she can, and some of Emma Frost clothes translates this very well. Dina Caliente - For Dina i was inspired by her old days taking old men's fortunes and living her best life. For her i imagine something as sexy, bold and empowering as the most popular Emma Frost looks. If you liked any idea leave a like. Feel free to share ideas too.290Views4likes5CommentsRE: Patches: Swimmable ocean in Granite Falls, Brindelton Bay and Windenburg
Making a new thread from user Cherwell99 original post. This is my first time playing with outdoor retreat pack and am very disappointed to find that the lake in Granite Falls is not swimmable. For context I had a fairy sim with maxed out natural living and a mermaid sim who I wanted to both swim in the lake for either hygiene or hydration purposes. I’d also love the see the other worlds with larger bodies of water be able to be swam into as well.33Views5likes1CommentConstant fireplace obsession
Anyone else's sims just constantly going to the fireplaces.????? I like having them, the sims like having them. Puts them in a good mood. But my one sim just literally walks back and forth from fireplace to fireplace to enjoy them... I'm so grateful for the auto-light upgrade..so they don't constantly burn the house down.....but do they have to obsess over them.....Stormy_witch71 day agoSeasoned Newcomer38Views3likes2CommentsEA-Neighborhood Stories
"Dear EA Development Team, I am a long-time player and I really appreciate the Neighborhood Stories system. However, there is a major inconsistency: while we can toggle options for pregnancies, adoptions, careers, and even deaths, the option for 'Joining Marriages' is completely missing. It is very frustrating to have control over neighbors dying or having babies, but zero control over whether they get married autonomously. This often ruins carefully planned storylines and forces players to rely on external mods. Please add a 'Join Marriage' checkbox to the Neighborhood Stories settings so we can have full control over the romantic progression in our worlds."33Views5likes0CommentsIDEA: Domestic Activities | Activities & Skills | Build Buy Organization

I have my starting notes, but feel free to add your own. Also, note a concept of making some pack traits, cross-pack traits so you can get from other packs as well. Generally, I think all older traits could use a refresh/update—as many of the newer traits like Lovestruck and newer have some really great traits. I also think that the new default trait should be 6 slots. I know people usually ask for 5, and that there is a mod for 5, and that GRO allows up to 5. But in CAS up to 6, because weird enough I think it looks cleaner/balanced in the Simology panel, and dynasty panel as they both as set up for 2-3 columns. As mentioned in the comments Vegetarian, Lactose Intolerant, etc. should be in a separate dietary panel. As well as likes/dislikes tab for cuisine types. Also, add the Sim Characteristic Mysterious, as with occult Sims and traits like Macabre/Mystical are Mysterious Ideals, also if Medium skill and Tarot could be likes/dislikes, and Thanatology skill (they could be Mysterious). For both likes/dislikes and turn ons/offs. Base Game Traits: Active: This should be the only trait that autonomously works out/jogs/etc. Active Imagination: Should work on adults. Ambitious: Should work with active careers, and should get advantages for Prestige Point for Dynasties if R&L is installed. Art Lover: I think these should be merged with Creative (Artistic). Bookworm Bro: I feel this should be an aspiration or reward trait. Cheerful Childish: Should have some of Goofball aspects merged into this trait. Clumsy Creative: I think these should be merged with Art Lover (Artistic). Erratic: I think these should be split into Neurotic (mild neurosis) and Insane (highly eccentric and stereotyped "insane" behaviour) like in Sims 3. Evil Family-Oriented: Should get advantages for Prestige Point for Dynasties if R&L is installed. If children are in household, autonomy should be like a hired Nanny. Foodie: Should be in a separate dietary panel. Geek Genius Gloomy Glutton: I feel this could be merged with Slob. Good: I feen this could be merged with Loyal. Goofball: This should be split into Funny/Good Sense of Humor and Childish. Grouch Hates Children Hot-Headed: Should be stronger Angry moodlets and immune to cardiac explosion unless elder. Jealous: Should be stronger Tense moodlets. Kleptomaniac Lazy: I feel this could be merged with Slob. Loner Loves Outdoors: Should get advantages to gaining and keeping "Outdoorsy" Lifestyle if Snowy Escape is installed. Loyal: I feel this could be merged with Good Materialistic: I feel this could be merged with Snob Mean: I think unless a Sim is equipped with Mean (and possibly Evil), will not autonomously use mean interactions. Music Lover Neat: Autonomy should be just like a hired Maid/Butler. Noncommittal: Should get advantages to gaining and keeping "Single and Lovin' It" Lifestyle if Snowy Escape is installed. Outgoing Perfectionist: Should get advantages for Prestige Point for Dynasties if R&L is installed. This trait should also always clean up after themselves (like after eat/clean up dish(es)). Practice Makes Perfect Romantic: Should increase Romance Skill if Lovestruck is installed, stronger Flirty moodlets, and should get advantages to gaining and keeping "Hungry for Love" Lifestyle if Snowy Escape is installed. Self-Assured: Personally I think the icon should be updated/improved, and trait could be updated/improved. Maybe act more like a Brave trait. Slob: I feel this could be merged with Lazy. Snob: I feel this could be merged with Materialistic. Vegetarian: Should be in a separate dietary panel. Pack Traits: Adventurous: I feel this could be a cross-pack trait not just Snowy Escape, so update the icon to represent a more generic "Adventurous", and maybe add it to Royal & Legacy (as the Brave Ideals and Swordsmanship Skill, and is apt to the trait) and Adventure Awaits (for Archery Skill). Animal Enthusiast Cat Lover Chased by Death: Should be compatible with Mystical. Child of the Islands Child of the Ocean Child of the Village Competitive Cringe: Should be more likely to trigger Scandals if R&L is installed, and if they do the scandal severity and duration should be decreased. Dance Machine: This maybe should be cross-pack and icon/name updated to Dancer. To work with Waltzing in R&L too. Disruptive: Should be compatible with Macabre, increased Mischief Skill should be fixed, and should autonomously use their trait specific socials (or at least more so over other mischievous socials). Maybe moodlets for this trait should exclude: Embarrassed (similar to Shameless reward trait), as this seem like a inherit Shameless trait. Dog Lover Freegan Generous Green Fiend High Maintenance Horse Lover Idealist: Should work with being in positive Dynasties as well (as long as they aren't the Outcast) if R&L is installed. Insider: Should work with being in Dynasties as well (as long as they aren't the Outcast) if R&L is installed. Lactose Intolerant: Should be in a separate dietary panel. Lovebug: Should get advantages to gaining and keeping "Hungry for Love" Lifestyle if Snowy Escape is installed. Should be more likely to trigger romantic based Scandals if R&L is installed, and if they do the scandal severity and duration should be decreased. Macabre: Should be compatible with Disruptive and Mystical. Maybe moodlets for this trait should exclude: Embarrassed (similar to Shameless reward trait), as I associate this trait as a sort of Addams Family type trait, and their eccentricities really never show them embarrassed on what typical people/Sims find embarrassing. A Scandal about Voodoo (or really anything), would not phase them. And maybe more and stronger "Fine" moodlets (to also help show off their unique moodlet thumbnail) as they are not easily moved by emotions of typical events/socials/etc. Or that Happy moodlets are switched/replaced to Fine and Fine moodlets act as a booster instead. Maker Mystical: Should be compatible with Macabre. Also, if an occult, should prioritize occult autonomous actions/interactions. Nosy: Should be better at discovering Scandals if R&L is installed. Overachiever: Should get advantages for Prestige Point for Dynasties if R&L is installed. Paranoid: Should be less likely to trigger Scandals if R&L is installed, and if they do the scandal severity and duration should be increased. Party Animal Plant Lover Proper: This maybe should be cross-pack with R&L, should gain advantages to getting "Gold" on Holding Court/Holding Press Conferences, and want to autonomously waltz, and socialize with Nobles if Royalty & Legacy is installed. Rancher: Autonomy should be just like a hired Ranch-Hand. Recycle Disciple Romantically Reserved: Should be less likely to trigger romantic based Scandals if R&L is installed, and if they do the scandal severity and duration should be increased. Self-Absorbed: Should be more likely to trigger Scandals if R&L is installed, and if they do the scandal severity and duration should be increased Shady: Should work with being in devious/negative Dynasties as well (or as long as they are the Outcast of positive ideal dynasties) if R&L is installed. Skeptical Socially Awkward Squeamish: I feel this could be a cross-pack trait not just Outdoor Retreat, but also for Adventure Awaits. Unflirty: Should get advantages to gaining and keeping "Single and Lovin' It" Lifestyle if Snowy Escape is installed. Wise: Should get advantages for Prestige Point for Dynasties if R&L is installed. Reward and other traits: Wanted Traits: Green Thumb: Yes, we got Plant Lover but they are plant sensitive, negative moodlets from dead plants, harvest plants, eating plants. Where Green Thumb is about the growing and harvesting of plants for cooking/flower arranging/selling being proud of your garden, and not quite thinking they are your green babies. This for base game too. Charismatic: What I like about this trait at least in Sims 3 days, is you could be Charming-Charismatic (depending on other traits) I assume that is the Outgoing trait of today, or Manipulative-Charismatic (depending on other traits). It would be really nice even if you have a more negative or mean spirited leaning Sim, to be able to socialize back into a Sim's good graces after being mistreated or been rude to, creating hot-cold socializations and relationships. This for base game too. Brooding: This was my favourite Sims 3 trait. I loved they would prioritize looking out a window over any socializing. Brooding trait is a social trait, and acted as an overpowered Loner trait. A Sim could just Consider the Hollowness of Life or Contemplate the Meaning of Meaning and fill their social and fun bars. You pretty much wouldn't need any social or fun and since it was autonomous it almost always be maintained. This helped with adventuring and skill raising. Irresistible: If the devs ever fix strangers joining conversations or just stop all NPCs from interrupting a Sim's queue. This is what/how the Irresistible trait use to accomplish. If you left your Sim unattended, Sims (unless Loners/Social Awkward or whatever), would approach your Sim and socialize, because they are drawn to your trait. Otherwise it is pretty much a pointless trait with NPC/Sims' non-stop socializing. And when they "Blow a Kiss" the other Sim would be fixated on the Irresistible Sim for a timeframe. Flirty: Yes, we have various romantic based traits, but I liked that Flirty traditionally was like a "tease" social, no physical contact, but would prefer flirting over other socials. In Sims 3 it actually made Romantic based Sims the more "Female" based romantic social, like if your did the "Dip Kiss" even though you initiated you'd be dipped. And "Flirty" was more the "Male" based romantic trait making all the moves as the dominant (I think like putting the arm around the Sim type idea). This for base game too. (Reward or Hidden Trait) Immortal: Some occults can't be immortal and stop aging. Such as Spellcasters. I'd like a potion (that makes the trait, and not potions to create moodlets/reduce days on aging) or reward trait to accomplish this. Coward: I think a trait more likely to be Embarrassed, Tense, Uncomfortable and especially Scared is still needed. Extorting would always work with a Coward, all Scared moodlets would be intensified, and autonomy similar to Sims running away from Werewolves would really add to this characteristic. Angler: After playing a Sim who was primarily a fisherman (for food with NLS and to make money). I noticed that Loves the Outdoors trait (and Fishing Aspiration Reward Trait) is/was fine, but with the Luck system it would have been nice to have more of an advantage. I also feel the Fishing Socials would do better as Angler trait socials instead, especially "Discuss Local Fishing Spots". As it yields fish entries in the notebook, and is anonymous which can be annoying for non-fishing Sims (I currently use a mod to prevent this social from being autonomous). (Aspiration or Triggered Trait) Bowfishing Specialist: I love Bowfishing (from Archery), but even you get debuffs so this cannot be continual like other fishing. I think if be great if Max Archery and Max Fishing, or Max Archery/Fishing/Fitness that Bowfishing no longer gives debuffs, can be done continuously like regular fishing actions, and becomes default and autonomous fishing style. Also, one can yield better results, fish for longer, and result in more fish from Spearfishing if IL is installed.479Views14likes15CommentsTraits Persist After Changing Occults
Ages old bug where old occult tendencies like hissing from vampires or throwing up after eating human food (fairies) carry over after changing occults, this is wildly annoying and should’ve been fixed a while ago, my fiance and I play sims constantly and would love to see EA or MAXIS pay better attention to community concerns and asks. Feels like they are NOT listening, many other little hidden bugs or literal glitches in game that NEED to be address ASAP. We love this game, please keep it on top (cm edit - updating title for vis)crawlingcheese1 day agoSeasoned Newcomer33Views1like1CommentRequest Fixes for Alien Hybrids
Could someone please look into a patch later on to fix a couple problems with alien hybrids? First, they are not considered either aliens or non-occults for clubs. Second, they can't become fairy despite it being a really good fit (since they keep ending up in a gray area). Please and thank you.

Maker Packs can be filtered in Build Mode and the gallery
Currently, you can't filter by Maker Packs or content in Build Mode. They aren't displayed separately in the Gallery either. And so far, they haven't been shown at all among the objects used. @EA, could you please add a "Maker Kit" category (or whatever the group is called)? That way, it would be easier to find houses in the Gallery that use Maker Packs, and it would also be easier to find them while building. I think every Simmer:in wishes for.XLarananasX1 day agoRising Rookie14Views0likes0CommentsHI Lovely Sims-players&Tech-Group.It is Another Great Day for Today.

I saw that we recently got a preference to like or dislike phones/computers. We should have a preference for whether to like or dislike cleaning. I'm tired of my rich sims always trying to clean everything, so I think this would be the best solution.43Views7likes1CommentI'm so tired of this bs game.
Instead of fixing **bleep** y'all keep adding bs. Bs that no one wants at that. Instead of being greedy you should listen to us players we're spending our hard earn money on this game. But you know what y'all keep messing the game up knowingly right just keep it real and say you want the sims 4 to be a no mod no cc game so i can stop wasting my time.115Views4likes4Commentsunremoveable lot traits infuriate me.
"Unleash your imagination and create a world of Sims that's wholly unique. Explore and customize every detail from Sims to homes - and much more. Choose how Sims look, act and dress. Determine how they'll live out each day. Design and build incredible homes for every family, then decorate with your favorite furnishings and décor. Travel to different neighborhoods where you can meet other Sims and learn about their lives. Discover beautiful locations with distinctive environments, and go on spontaneous adventures. Manage the ups and downs of Sims' everyday lives, and see what happens when you play out realistic or fantastical scenarios. Tell your stories your way while developing relationships, pursuing careers and life aspirations, and immersing yourself in an extraordinary game where the possibilities are endless" that is the sims 4 description on the EA app, stating that in the game 'the possibilities are endless' and that you can 'customise every detail' but ive found that it isnt really true because the 'possibilities are endless' until it comes to historical plaques. i have hundreds of hours logged on playing the sims 4, i have decorated many houses, ive made many families and i have played through many, many stories and events... but there is one thing that i do not understand; as a game that is marketed, created and known for its ability of creativity and personalisation: the creators adding- in this cases example- forced traits to lots THAT CANNOT BE REMOVED WITH ANY BASIC METHOD and the traits coming along with items such as leaky pipes, mice holes, the historical plaque etc... that also cannot be deleted or even moved around to a different position on the lot, is so frustraiting because it goes against the above description of the game. in my experiences after playing the game and looking around at sources online, the only ways that i have found to remove them is if you install custom mods/custom content where, even though it doesnt remove the trait itself, it can remove the items within the lot: or if you dont pay rent on your lot and your items get repossessed, that the items that cause the problems can be taken. but a game about 'customising every detail' shouldnt have these as the only options, and this is the reason it is so infuriating BECAUSE IT SHOULDNT HAVE TO BE DONE just to remove an item that you didnt put there to begin with. a lot of people will agree with me (i hope) but i know that some people may not, and that is entirely fine. i just wish that additions like this were a choice, not a forced obligation you have to tolerate or decorate around just because you want to build on a certain lot. in the future of my gameplay i will continue to be removing items like this with mods (as it is something that i am capable of doing) but i really do hope that the points in this post are acknowledged and understood by developers- of either the sims or even devs of other games- as too why this can severaly impact someones game play (especially if they do not have access to custom content or a community to help fix it)84Views2likes2Comments
