What happened in your game today?
Hi everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the new forum so far. I know I am!! I'm Charla, a big fan of The Sims 4! ☺️ I was going to join on the old one, but, as it only had a week left I decided to wait until today. I loved lurking on the what happened in your game today thread so I thought would create a new one here. So what's happened in your game today? Today in my game I was playing as a character I created, Lauren Lord. She's an young adult, who dreams of being an author and a mom. Currently she's working as a school teacher, but today she had no work, she stayed at home and played chess and tended to her plants (when it wasn't raining!). I also made this new Sim :) hope the pic works! Look forward to seeing what's happening in your games.

As most of you are aware I've been playing the same save for about six years and chronicling my sims experiences in My Super Sims Family Challenge 2.0 | EA Forums - 4959503 I've decided that after I get caught up with a few more episodes I'm going to play more and chronicle less. I've found that I'm playing less as I try to post story updates and playing to tell a story instead of just playing for the fun of it. I'll continue to post brief updates in the What Happened thread if something post worthy occurs but no more story episodes. So how about you? Anything you want to accomplish with your simming this year.435Views16likes37CommentsMy Wedding Stories Is Still a Disaster
This is the first wedding I have had in my game since the "fixes" have been in place. I was moderately encouraged when the Engagement Dinner went reasonably well. The Bach Party, not so much; some of the invited guests had to be phoned and asked to "hang out on lot". Next came the wedding. Strangely, I found I had to go back to the various family members to reset their clothing. Worse, is many didn't show up. Again, my Sim had to employ his phone to ask the invited family to "hang out on lot". When enough of them showed up, I began the ceremony. When I tried to send down the aisle the Ring Bearer, it was greyed out and hovering over the tab, it said there was no chosen Ring Bearer. Face palm. There was when I set up this event, initially. Same with the Flower Pal. The only thing that worked right for a change. was the father of the bride managed to walk her down the aisle. I captured some sweet pictures of that. Both mothers were A.W.O.L. And the bride's four sisters were absent, too. We are talking a major disaster, here. If MWS was on a disk, it would be shattered about now. I've never been so disappointed in my life. I've had problems with this pack in the past, but not to this extent. Once again, I had to exit without saving. I shall have to run through the wedding again. If nothing more than to allow me to get the desired pictures of the event. Please, modders, fix this.GalacticGal49 minutes agoSeasoned Ace294Views8likes21Comments- 355Views16likes13Comments

Basically, one guy's head is a fire place that is lit, the other girl (red hair) has been in there awhile, and the reason why there is just so MANY fire place's and rugs, is well.. I was hoping for a fire to start, then in back, The grim reaper is there, and then near him is the girl whose dead, from starvation, so yeah, a little bit of lot of going on!SolvedKenzie033020043 hours agoNew Scout227Views2likes15CommentsHappy New Year Life & Death EP Giveaway

I'm writing a legacy challenge for myself and was trying to find out which skills are needed for each career and especially, what level of each skill. But I haven't been able to find this information anywhere (by googling and searching the forum). Anyone know a place that would've listed the information?Solvedsansannasa5 hours agoRising Traveler64Views2likes3CommentsFreelance fashion photographer question.
I’m finding the career a bit odd. I’ve figured out getting photos approved, but it’s taking a while to get them back so I can’t finish the tasks for the job until they eventually get posted back. The payment is pretty bad considering how long the pics takes to get back to me. My sim is almost full photography skill, she spent her teen years snapping photos, but she’s making most of her money selling pictures outside of the career. Do you get better renumeration further on in the career? Also how do I go about finding models? Thus far I’m hiring them but it’s kinda pot luck. My swimwear shots were of three elders (it got approved though!).9.8KViews2likes12CommentsCozy Celebrations Gameplay Discussion Thread (Ends Today Jan 10)

My apologies for starting a new spammers thread, but the old one is not very user-friendly on the new forums. Plus, it's in the sims franchise discussion section--not sure what that's about. Anyways, for those that are new to this thread, the rules are simple; post as many screenshots as you want, while limiting the dialogue to what's going on in the shot, or the reason for the shot New forum, new screenshot spammers thread--let's rock it 😃NateWhiplash16 hours agoSeasoned Hotshot1.5KViews11likes229CommentsPremade Sims doing service roles.
Hi guys! (I had this issue a few years ago and made a thread but I can't find it now since we made the switch to the new forums.) I started a new save, and now my game is not generating random sims as service NPCs. Instead I get premade sims doing service NPC jobs. Like if I go to a restaurant the bartender is Bella Goth instead of a random generated NPC. I don't like this, I prefer for it to be a Random NPC, and for the premade sims to be the guest not the hired staff. Anyone know why this is happening suddenly in my game? And is there a mod to stop this from happening? I know I remember a few years ago there being a mod the prevent this from happening but I can't seem to find it anywhere. So I decided to ask here. I'm not sure I posted this in the correct sections. Sorry if I didn't. Thank you!SolvedGoodywood2 days agoNew Adventurer672Views3likes53CommentsWhy Are My Sims Catching Fire From The Toilet?
All 3 of my sims caught fire, dad, mom, and child, after using the toilet. I thought it was a prank, but I watched and made sure it wasn't after the second fire. They are catching fire literally every single time they use the pot. What gives? They do live in an industrial footprint neighborhood, which I learned can cause fires, but I haven't seen this happen to any of my other families in this neighborhood. https://i.imgur.com/4v6kxur.jpg https://i.imgur.com/pdwLy0A.jpg2.1KViews1like5Comments- Armika742 days agoSeasoned Hotshot204Views4likes14Comments
Is This Common?
I was busily playing my game trying to get closer to a special event on my Sims' calendar. One of my Sims is ailing from a cold. I had her purchase the medication from the phone, that is supposed to cure whatever ails ya. But I also decided to have her brew up some healthy green tea, since in RL it's known to help. A few minutes later, the dern tea set is on FIRE.GalacticGal2 days agoSeasoned Ace177Views7likes7Comments
