Toilet on fire...trophy?!
Can someone please enlighten me on where this trophy, or whatever it is, is from? I was playing around with the SimRay and received...this. I really enjoy getting things that can't be duplicated in build mode, but usually I can figure out what it's from?! Golden toilet on fire! 🤣Aquashamrocktrg24 minutes agoSeasoned Rookie13Views0likes2CommentsNature's Calling week 2 aspiration was not completing due to delay triggering
I was stuck on week 2. I really don't like when I have to change my character's aspiration anyway, but under Nature aspiration I planted multiple plants (didn't even trigger the 3 things planted) and eco one that triggered one thing but when I voted on neighborhood thing it didn't trigger at all (see image attached!). No mods. Restarted multiple times. Cleared cache. Made sure downloads were up to date, currently on Version 1.116.223.1030 - just wanted to give heads up that it wasn't triggering on these two, but I finally got it to trigger on crystal crafter table after 4 tries purchasing the table (with restarts each time) and 3 ring gifts before it would complete this step. Not sure what the issue is, but buying the table shouldn't take that many attempts and the other steps should have triggered or finished as well.GwendolynnK2 hours agoSeasoned Traveler305Views2likes13CommentsCannot Make Lucky Liquid on Apothecary Table
I have two sims that have level 10 Apothecary skill, they have full needs (aside from 1 or needs with a sliver down), great moods and environment, and possess all of the required ingredients. They have made all other items that you can possibly make on the Apothecary table successfully. However, neither of them can make the 'Lucky Liquid' item... it remains greyed out. What I have tried/additional facts to add... I also had her buy more of the purchasable ingredients I had one sim re-make her scared potions... two different times I had her sister make her own scared emotions to try herself I tried dragging the potions in then out of the household inventory, the table, a storage box, and the ground I tried saving to the library and placing back into the game none of the ingredients are debug all ingredients have been harvested from their garden, purchased through the table or made by my sims have tried on two different tables I ran game repair None of these tests stopped the Lucky Liquid item from being greyed out on the Apothecary table. I have all packs, no mods/cc, play on Mac, and am fully updated.Solved76Views2likes5CommentsEnchanted by Nature 2025 pack
I absolutely love the Sims, I am almost 40 and have been playing since the beginning of the sims, I own all the packs and a few kits, but for the first time ever I had issues with a new game, the Enchanted by Nature pack, and the world doesn't even appear when I try to travel, I have made sure it was downloaded, I deleted cache and repaired the game but still have no access to the world the pack includes. Any suggestions?19Views0likes1Comment[NCQE] Can't View Sand Drawings
I started the Nature's calling event and when it gets to the point where I have to view the sand drawing I just can't. I have tried it without mods and its the same issue. There is no pop-up in the dial menu to view the sand drawing to complete the task in the event quest.Solved_-IdkAntt-_3 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer1.9KViews4likes38CommentsNature's calling can't claim claimable rewards.
I've been doing the quests of this event and claiming my rewards until the last quest... I can't claim my rewards after doing the last quest released so far. I tried the 'claim all' button, tried to claim it in game UI and on main menu, tried to restart my game and try all of this again but nothing seems to work. I hope maybe when more quests get unlocked I can claim my rewards again. Does someone has the same problem as me or know a solution? In the screenshots below you can see I was able to claim the dish but not the book and the potion. Also rewards that go further than my progress bare are indicated with a yellow dot which I think means it's "claimable"? Is my progress bar not loading any further anymore or is the game showing yellow dots where it shouldn't? I play on pc btw.634Views4likes15Commentscan't age up infants with birthday candles
hi! recently in my game, I was throwing a birthday party for one of my infant sims to age her up to a toddler. she was designated as the birthday sim in the party. her mother made a cake and added the candles, but there was no option to help the infant blow out the candles. I hit the "Age a Sim Up" option from the pie menu, and she didn't pop up there either. i tried this with both aging on and aging off, and neither provided a solution. I had to age her up manually through MCCC, but I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this issue recently or could offer a solution to the problem. thanks!9Views0likes1CommentHelp: Custom skin tones not following through to live mode
Today I opened my game to find my sims’ skin tones darker than usual and other’s lighter than usual. After a very long time of trying to fix this, I realised that, in CAS, their skin tones were correct (for example, their skin tone is a brightened version of one of the regular sims 4 skin tone swatches) but, when I go into live mode, the sim is darker because the game just returned their skin tone to the original swatch colour (without any brightness variation). This has never happened to me before and I don’t believe it’s caused by broken mods/cc because when I run the game with an empty mods folder, the issue is still present. Also, none of my sims have tattoos/custom tattoos which I’ve heard has been causing issues lately. Any help will be much appreciated. Thank you!FLMG126 hours agoSeasoned Newcomer36Views0likes4CommentsSims Not Aging In New Saves
The title is a bit self explanatory - In any new save I make my sims simply do not age. The bar doesn't increase, hovering over the bar does not show how many days they have till aging, and so they simply do not get any older. This applies to anyone of any age group and seems to apply to the NPCs in my world as well. The only way my sims can die if if they are killed by something and the only way I can age them is through cheats. However, in any of my older saves (about a month or so ago) my sims do age and the aging is still working. If I played in those saves, everything would be working exactly how it should - mods and all. Yes, I do use mods. The mods I can see being most problematic are MCCC, XMLInjector, or CCs. However, I spent the bulk of yesterday resolving any errors reported by MCCC, adjusting the age settings to default, and even factory resetting my game. It did not resolve the issue of aging in new saves. I believe it may be a game issue since I did, I think, all I could to fix my mods if they were the issue. I'm at a complete loss. I also have the Cats & Dogs, Get To Work, Cottage Living, Horse Ranch, Highschool Years, Discover University, Vampires, Seasons, and Werewolves packs incase that may cause issues such as this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!Solved38Views0likes7CommentsHoliday stuck on repeat
In my most recent save, something happened and now it’s repeating the last holiday (my creation - Gnome Patrick Fools) anytime there is a new holiday on the calendar. This started when I downloaded the new expansion pack. I tested it by creating a new holiday to start on an empty day and sure enough, Gnome Patrick Fools again. I have tried ending it early, playing it all the way through, waiting for the year to come around again and deleting it entirely etc etc. Nothing has worked. The specified holiday activities are also stuck on in the action menus - regardless of whether there is a holiday scheduled or not. Holidays work as expected in a new test save but I don’t want to forsake my save!! I do not use any mods.10Views0likes0CommentsNear constant unflirty and romantically reserved trait suggestions.
Every single time one of my sims talks to someone who isn't their romantic partner, the game prompts me to add the unflirty or romantically reserved trait to them.

There seems to be a glitch in the Nature's Calling event... When trying to 'Cloudgaze or Stargaze' for the 'Attuned to the Echoes' quest, my game isn't recognising my Sim completing the action, so is preventing me from moving on with the event. I've tried restarting the game and i've tried completing the action in 3 different saved files but it still won't work! Has anyone else had this issue? What do i do? One of the few times EA gives us freebies and now i can't get them!!! NB: I don't use mods so this isn't the issue.

Product: The Sims 4 Platform:PC Which language are you playing the game in?English How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%) What is your current game version number?1.116.223 What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? University, Island, Famous, Seasons, City, Parenthood, Spa, Tiny, Laundry, Patio, Movie, Snowy Escape, Strangerville, Horse Ranch, For Rent, My Wedding Stories, Vintage Glamour, Romantic Garden Stuff, Outdoor Retreat, Businesses & Hobbies, Growing Together, Get Together, Get to Work, Cottage Living, Cats and Dogs Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try traveling anywhere What happens when the bug occurs? A Sim decides to travel at let's say 5:20 pm to go somewhere (in this case the Starlight Accolades). After selecting travel, but before the travel map pops up, the screen "grays out ." so | can still see Sims moving in the background while the music plays and the clock ticks on. Sometimes they even change clothes, exercise, do dishes, all while I'm waiting for the map to load so I can even begin to choose where the Sim is traveling. In this latest maddening instance, after choosing "travel" the clock ticked on for over two Sim hours before finally pulling up the map so I could select my destination. After selecting travel at 5:20 I ultimately arrived at the Star Accolades at 7:55. What do you expect to see? Since long loading screens seem to be unavoidable, at least the internal Sim clock should stop ticking while this is happening. Adjusting the clock for length of travel (say from Newcrest to Sulani, as opposed to just another house down the street) would make sense, but losing over two hours while simply waiting to select a destination makes it impossible to gauge what time to leave anywhere to go anywhere. Especially if departing for a an event with specific beginning and end times. Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes. Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? This began after the patch update for the 1.116 version of the game. So not the game update itself, but the patch update that happened on 07/10, I believe.12Views0likes1Comment(BUG) Root cause interaction not completing - new career issue
Hi everyone, i am having an issue with the new pack and a new career gameplay. Whenever i try to tell the client their root cause, the interaction takes a very long time to complete. The client keeps doing everything else but talking with my sim. The interaction often gets cancelled automatically, and i have to do it again and again. Meanwihile the workday time is still running, which makes it hard to finish all the tasks on time. This happed with all five clients i have had so far in this career. Its really frustrating and makes the career not enjoyable. Is anyone else experiencing this? Any tips or fixes?

Hello! I was so excited to see that the Thriftea bug (no attendant at counter, multiple poetry contestants instead) was fixed in the February 25th patch notes. However, it seems that the only way I can get it to work is if I start a new save file entirely. My current save file (started in 2014) still has the bug. I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything and replaced the lot with multiple different boba tea builds. It simply won't work. Am I missing something? Is there any way I can fix this, even though it's now considered "fixed"? I have never used CC or mods. There's 8 poetry contestants hanging out lol Please help ;-; Thank you!
