hired nanny cooks/cleans up and ignores infant while infant needs decline
My household with an infant hired a nanny to help out while they hosted a dinner party event. The guest list was maxed out at 15, so the parent Sims were busy cooking and entertaining guests to clear the tasks. The nanny showed up when the event started and immediately started cooking. During the entire event the nanny cooked or cleaned up instead of caring for the infant. The infant's needs dropped to the red for hunger, energy, and fun - Attention and hygiene were in the yellow. The family dismissed the nanny after the event and cared for the infant. The same household hosted a second event the next day and hired a nanny. The same nanny showed up and did the exact same thing. Instead of caring for the infant the nanny cooked and cleaned up. After the event the nanny was dismissed and left immediately while the family cared for the infant. This time the infant's hygiene, hunger, and energy were in the red. Attention and fun were in the yellow. Anyone else notice the nannies are not taking care of the infants/toddlers? What worked: multiple sims did not try to care for the infant at the same time What didn't work: nanny did not care for the infant when hired
Why Neighborhood Stories off is not working?
Hi, do you also have problems with Neighborhood Stories? I don't like this option so I always turn it off in settings, but it seems like the game ignore that switch. Can anyone help how to fix it? I do play with modes, but none of it should do anything to Neighborhood Stories, I double checked.
Celebrity Perks And Quirks
Ugh! I have a level 4 celebrity and she has the “Vain” quirk that makes her tense if she’s not looking at herself in a mirror all the time. She also has the quirk that makes her sad if she’s not around other celebrities. Between the 2, she’s sad or tense ALL THE TIME! She has a meet and greet with her fans and was sad the whole time because no other celebrities were there for her to talk to. Does anyone know how to get rid of these quirks?
Moving sims between households
I have a question about moving sims temporarily between households. That is, instead of just letting the sims visit each other (so I can´t control the visiting sim) I move them in temporarily, and when the "visit" is over I move them back home again. Have any of you tried this? Are there some bad "side effects"? I worry that I should mess my sims lives up 😅😂
Craftsman Style Home Tips?
I've started building Craftsman style homes in Newcrest. I've figured out a few things already (keeping the value of starter homes under §20k, building dormer rooms, etc.). But there are a few things that I haven't figured out how to do. (These are all based on actual Craftsman style home designs, which I'm trying to recreate in game.) Gables (especially those facing the front) are often covered with scalloped shingles rather than with regular siding. The game includes a few styles of scalloped shingles, but I can only put them on roofs. I can't put them on gables. Is there a way to put scalloped shingles on gables in the base game (no packs, no cc, no mods)? If not, then do any packs include scalloped shingles as wall patterns? Another common treatment of gables is board-and-batten siding. Do any packs include board-and-batten siding as a wall patterns? If the slope of stairs up to the second floor matches the slope of the roof, then actual designs use this to their advantage. The ceiling above the stairs can be sloped, matching the slope of the roof: even with the lower floor ceiling above the bottom of the stairs, and even with the upper floor ceiling above the top of the stairs. I'd like to incorporate this feature, but it seems that the game insists on the ceiling above stairs being even with the upper floor ceiling for the entire length of the stairs. Am I missing something? I've figured out how to build dormer rooms when the walls of the dormer room are all vertical. But many dormer rooms have angled walls (ceilings?) that follow the slope of the roof. Is there a way to reproduce this in game in a way that require "Walls Down" view to keep the roof from obscuring what's going on in the dormer room? Instead of full-height columns supporting the front porch, Craftsman style homes often have short pillars made of brick or stone that matches the foundation, with short columns extending from the top of those pillars to the porch roof. I haven't been able to recreate this in game. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
Friendship level will not increase
Hi! I've recently started experiencing a bug where my friendship level between sims will not increase no matter how many friendly interactions I have them perform, while the romance level has no issue increasing. I've scrolled on forums to try to find a solution and have tried everything i've seen so far - the modifyrelationship cheat, resetting sims, exiting out of household and coming back, deleting cache - but I am kind of at the end of my rope, especially because I'm not very familiar with the ins and outs of cheats and have no cheat mods. In case it is of any help, I do have cc and mods, though the only mods I have are the Lumpinou and Pandasama pregnancy and birth mods. Does anyone have any idea on how I can fix this? Thanks in advance!
Sims stuck in idle animations
I recently downloaded new cc and all of the sudden my sims are permanently stuck in their idle animations and standing still. I tried deleting the new cc, turned off cc entirely, re installed the game, tried multiple households, nothing has worked. They wont take on new interactions, they wont move anywhere if I ask them to, they just stand in their idle animations. Pets as well. There's another post with a similar problem from four months ago but op hasn't posted lately and i just figured i'd make a fresh one to try to boost the issue. This has been an ongoing issue ive had for a couple months now myself and I keep craving sims gameplay but i cant do anything if all they do is stand still!😭help my worlds are disappearing whenever i leave the game.
i don't know whats going on but whenever i seem to make a new game and leave even after saving it keeps deleting itself. this happened a while back too and i lost all my old worlds. do you maybe have them saved somewhere or something? that's ok if not. i just need to know how to stop my work from disappearing on me. i spend so much time on them only for them to leave me. what would you suggest because it's honestly making me not want to play anymore if there's no point because it will just disappear anyway. well i hope this finds you and your team in good health and have a nice day. thank you for your assistants in this situation. good day. (ps. i am on pc)
Error in game
In The Sims, I can create a character, dress them, and save them to my library, although I started getting an error there too. But when I buy a house and start a new game, I can't enter it. The game glitches, and on the left side I see some blue squares. I can't enter the household at all. I can click to start over, but if I try to load another family, it glitches every time anyway. I thought it was caused by mods or something, but I removed all the new mods, and this wasn't happening before, so I think it must have been caused by the update. I don't know what to do because I'd really like to play, but I can't.
Can’t load into save
I’ve been playing for the last several hours I saved and left to go do other things came back and now I cannot load into my game it just takes me to manage worlds and tells me to create a new household. How do I fix this? I’ve played this save for generations and do not want to lose it. I’m on the PS5 with the latest update installed
