Infants & Toddlers! Share Your Gameplay Pics and Discoveries
A thread to share infant and toddler gameplay. This thread is to share your joys and frustrations as your littlest ones transition from newborn to infant, then toddlerhood. Share pics of your infant and toddler's journey and ask questions when you need childrearing advice or get stuck on those milestones. I'll be adding links to information to help you navigate this fun and rewarding journey with our littlest ones. Infant and Toddler Quirks Infant Milestones Toddler Milestones Infant/Toddler updates coming today! Here's a link to what's expected.

Funny pics
Do you ever capture pictures from fun or awkward situations in your game? Often my sims will make me smile just because they did position weirdly, making a totally normal situation look funny. - Hello again, Hairdresser, I got a complaint! Your solution turned out to be unpractical. Are you sure I can't have a ponytail, without the horse?
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. X
What Are Your Merfolk Doing Today 2.0
Since the old thread has multiple broken links and things are different here. I decided to create a 2.0 version of the old thread I created. I thought I would create this thread as a variant of the “What happened in Your Game Today?” thread. Serial and non-serial updates are welcome. Any mermadic discoveries in the Sims are more than welcome, including discoveries while using mods. Let's give our MerSims the spotlight here! Tips for what to share: The Only Rules: Keep the updates focused on merfolk! Denizens of the sea like Cecelia, Kelpies, and other variations of ocean dwellers are welcome here.Grimathon

Your goal is to play the ultimate All Deaths Challenge by having your Sims complete each and every death type. While some of you may be one step ahead from the Cowplant challenge, there are plenty more ways to plan your Sim’s demise 😈 Where can I find a list of all death types? Check out our full EA Help guide on all the different death types and how to achieve them here! How do I bring a Sim back from the dead? Accidentally killed off your favorite Sim? Don’t panic! There’s a few different ways to bring your beloved Sim back to life detailed in the EA Help guide here. Share your screenshots below and let us know how many different deaths you achieved!
Townie Fashion Police
Sul sul, Simmers. Townie Fashion Police was one of my favorite threads in the "old forum." It was always good for a few laughs. Z and I think it's time to bring it back, and so does our friend Daniel. When your festival attire is more outlandish than that of the cosplayer you're sitting with, that's a job for the Townie Fashion Police. "What did I do to deserve this?" Daniel asks the camera. At least he has a tasty cheeseburger to enjoy.
I Have Been Busy . . .And I Need Opinions, Please
Apparently, I clicked on the wrong tags, previously. I have been busy completing the property of Erik's home. I seriously renovated his old one. I fully anticipated that once he married Kayleigh, the two would move to Brindleton Bay where I placed it. It's called Cantrell By-The-Sea, for that reason. Well, as things tend to go when allowing game play to rule mostly what you write about, with a smidge of plotline, on the side, as it were, he's now king. Those familiar with Ondarion know there are precious few lots available, and only an assortment of ones you're allowed to change out. The only 64 X 64 lot is the one in Bellacorde upon which I placed Caste Cantrell (the Medieval castle). I am now very much in love with Cantrell By-The-Sea and wish to switch them out, after his parents leave for Vulcan. As I waited for others to opine, which so far hasn't happened. I decided to play around. I thought at first I will just place this newer build on the same lot in my Build Save. That way it wouldn't disturb the main save at all. Well, I have two differing builds, one with a throne room (a room out back) and one without. I placed the one I preferred and spent the majority of the last two or three hours working on the throne room. Question: Are you in favor of me switching the builds out? Or should I just try not to be bored in the old place? What would you do? I do have a very bad case of Wanderlust. Please, and thank you, in advance. I look forward to your thoughts on the matter.Giveaway: Sims 4 Pick A Pack (EP) (Ends Saturday 6/12)

Some of you may recall I started the Sim Gurus On Twitter thread in 2018 and passed the torch to Duvelina in 2020. She has informed me that she hasn't been including tweets from the official The Sims Twitter (X) so I thought I'd start a thread for info from The Sims. Twitter (X), Facebook, and Instagram. Also info from EA when it relates to TS4. If you're interested you can also check out my announcement threads for The Sims Freeplay. Sims Freeplay Announcements | EA Forums - 2372520 Duvelina's Sim Gurus On Twitter Thread Sim Gurus on Twitter #2 | EA Forums - 206966 And for a fun walk down memory lane here's the original Guru Twitter thread.
