Science Child and the Super Parent aspiration
Is there someone out there that's recently had a science child (Baby via science with only themselves as the sole parent/genetic donor) that has had that satisfy the "Have a child" part of the Super Parent aspiration? The one time I tried to do it, having the science child did NOT satisfy that part of the aspiration and I couldn't figure out how/why? But we've had some game updates since then. Is there anyone who's tried it recently and had it satisfy that part of the Super Parent aspiration?Solved76Views3likes2CommentsSo tell me more about Adventure Awaits?
Sul sul Fellow Simmers! While I'm interested in the other features of this pack somewhat, what I'd really like to know more about it is "Formative Moments" for kids? I wanted to know more about the Imaginary Friends too, but someone (I'm so sorry, I can't remember your handle now!?!) already showed me a post that had information all about them. Thank you again for that! But yeah, Formative Moments? What kinds are there? When do they happen/what do you have to do to have a sim child get them? What do they do as an effect from a successful one? What about the unsuccessful ones? Basically everything about them!?! And I think it was rosemow (Sp?) that showed me the other post about Imaginary Friends. If the information about Formative Moments that I'm asking about now is also on there, then I'm so sorry for forgetting! Thank you in advance to whomever may respond to this post.Solved107Views0likes3CommentsAdventure Awaits CAS And Build/Buy?
Hello! I'm sure there's a really easy answer or post or what have you about this that I've just not seen yet. That's often the case of this sort of thing! *LOL* But could someone please direct me to where I can find a list (With pictures please!) of the CAS and Build/Buy stuff that comes unique to Adventure Awaits? I'm really on the fence about whether to get this EP or not. I honestly don't see myself doing much with the "adventures" part of it as far as making and/or sending sims to the different locations you can have them do and experience stuff at. Though who knows, maybe I'd change my mind? However, I'm VERY interested in the new pool stuff! Don't like that it's behind a pay-wall though. I mean they gave us pools for free in an update when they came out. Why not give us at least ONE free diving board and slide as well? Geez... ANYWAYS, I AM also VERY interested in the Imaginary Friend dolls! I saw a post where someone had shared what they all look like after they're made into real sims. Love it! And their outfits too! Soooo, I'm hoping if I'm able to see what the CAS and the Build/Buy stuff in this EP are all like, that will help me decide whether I really NEED this pack? Or not? I have some other EP's that I no longer have installed on my computer, because quite frankly I can no longer RUN said computer, with all the EPs, GPs, Stuff Packs and Kits that I have already! Thank you in advance to anyone who might share links here or otherwise help direct me!😁Solved88Views1like5Comments

Why do we have positive - negative threads?
I've been curious for a while how the idea of the "positive" and "negative" threads for various packs started and why we feel the need to separate the two rather than having one "discuss the pack"- thread instead. My observations of the various threads are that the positive thread generally holds much more information about the pack in the opening post and is updated with new information, while the negative thread usually start with a very short post that stays the same. I've also noticed people stopping themselves in discussions of the pack going "I also have something... to say but I'll put that in the other thread". Is it that we're so used to filter bubbles that we have a hard time dealing with a thread that contains both bad and good? Or that we just want to be able to whine/gush over a pack in peace without someone trying to "convert" us? Or are we worried of offending those of another opinion than our own? I'm asking because I'm generally curious as to how and why this tradition was started and why we keep it up.SolvedJesLet4025 days agoSeasoned Ace447Views3likes13Comments

When is the next Sims 4 sale?
I've been wanting to buy the business and hobbies pack but its a bit pricey for me, I know there's a 25% off sale but I'm wondering if there's designated times for larger sales that may offer more off, i don't really know about the "average" for holiday sales.Solved1o95d66r7k752 months agoRising Novice194Views1like7Comments
[Sept Sale] Another Sale but only up to 50% again
Three sales from June till September, first did have up to 60% (and I spent quite a bit) but not the 2nd and 3rd (current), and of course I am waiting for 60%. That I know of sales really haven't been this frequent, so I assume it is due to the times, but I am really disappointed two sales in a row haven't been up to 60% and I don't want to buy at 50% when I know they can be 60%. Is this an insult or that EA is hurting that bad they cannot afford 60% off anymore? What does this mean no more 60% sales? Only really old packs were up to 60% anyways, but I was slowly buying up the ultra old packs while buying some new packs, as I am barely playing Sims 4 for the past year (since L&D). edit: note I have a decent size wishlist waiting to buy packs but waiting at 60%, so on hold till then. A few of us were rather upset last sale as it was advertised up to 60% but instead of honoring amended the adverts to 50%. So what does this ultimately mean?SolvedHollownessDevour2 months agoSeasoned Ace322Views1like10CommentsDid anyone actually win the Sims 4 Newsletter Giveaway?

I didn't see a timeline...
With regards to this patch: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/news/ailments-dev-diary I didn't see a timeline for the patch, but it seems my game isn't updated yet with this feature, should I be concerned, or was this just a news post announcing the forthcoming patch? If it is an announcement does anyone know a rough timeline of when we can expect the actual patch to hit (not talking to the day or hour, just kinda "a couple of weeks" or "A couple of months" or "A Couple of years", I know what deadlines that are unrealistic do to a game and I certainly don't wish that on The Sims 4)SolvedLeissaMyst3 months agoRising Veteran84Views0likes2Comments

Enchanted By Nature NPC Cheats
Anyone know where I can get a list of the hidden NPC traits for this pack? I went into all the households to give some small businesses and it messed up my vendors. Todd doesn't show up as the apothecary vendor and I haven't checked in Noahm (?), the gnome vendor, if he got messed up as well. I know it will do that if you make them an active household. I switched them off of active households but it hasn't put him back as vendor. It's just some random chick. Thanks! I do have MCCC but if it does allow me to change it through there, I haven't found it.SolvedTheDrunkenSimmer4 months agoSeasoned Hotshot1.3KViews1like9Comments
Magical Gnomes
Hi all, I have not had much time to go into each thread and see if our little gnomes are playing a big roll in the new pack. I truly miss my little drunken helpers from sims 1 and hope that our gnomes can help out in the future. What exactly happens to our gnomes in the new pack, does anyone know. I am too scared to watch the early release videos cause I also want some surprises with other gameplay as well, so don't want to many spoilers, but I am nosy about my little gnomes 😆Solvedmcrudd4 months agoLegend337Views3likes8Comments

Hi! Thank you for the amazing game! I'm really enjoying it. We’re reaching out to ask whether it’s permitted to collect video data from The Sims 4 for academic research purposes, specifically for training and evaluating AI systems. The game’s rich environments, dynamic events, and multi-agent interactions make it an ideal platform for studying action understanding, event recognition, and social behavior in AI. The dataset we plan to collect may be open-sourced, strictly for academic use, and will not be used for any commercial purposes. We will ensure all content is carefully reviewed to avoid any potentially harmful or inappropriate material. We’ve reviewed the official policy, but couldn’t find specific guidance regarding academic research. Could you please let us know if this use is permitted, or if there is an official channel through which we can request permission?

The Life of a Sims 4 Bug
Sul Sul! In yesterday's Laundry List we provided a behind the scenes look at the process we follow of identifying and resolving bugs in The Sims 4. In the interest of transparency as well as to preserve this information for future audiences I've transcribed it here as well: 🐞 Issue is Discovered & Verified When a player reports an issue via our EA Forums, a friendly Community Manager or EA Forums superuser will see if help can be provided through troubleshooting and alternative methods to try, confirming if the game is working as intended, or if this may be an issue related to mods. If not, they'll check whether the issue has already been reported to merge it with an existing thread or start a new one. A ticket is then made for our Quality Assurance (QA) team to review. They may need to collect more information from players to reproduce the bug on their devices, which is critical for the next steps and why we always encourage players to provide as much specific detail as possible when reporting an issue. Our Sims teams are also discovering and reporting issues internally that get documented alongside player reported issues. Due to the wide variety of freedom with The Sims 4, plus the randomness and variation in playstyles and player options, it’s impossible to truly test every possible scenario. This means that some issues may only appear in specific environments, and while we strive to address as many as we can prior to launch, we appreciate your understanding. When QA is able to reproduce the issue, they will file a ticket for an engineer to review and give it a severity rating, which can depend on how many votes it has received and how disruptive to gameplay the issue is for players. Your votes matter! 🔎 Fix is Investigated & Created A team of engineers will be assigned to work on an issue and figure out the cause. The scope, type, and risk of bug fixes can vary wildly, from relatively simple fixes through to complete code system restructures. Given the almost infinite variations of devices, operating systems, unique combinations The Sims 4 content installed, unique gameplay styles, and mods downloaded, it can be no small feat to identify the root cause! Once the engineer understands what’s causing the technical issue, they can start to plan how to best resolve it. Fixes can bring their own unique challenges, such as accidentally introducing more issues, which is the last thing we want to do. When the engineer has created a fix, the QA team comes back into the mix, to test each fix before it’s released to ensure the fix works as intended across all platforms. 🚀 Fix is Deployed to Players If that all looks good, the code is then submitted for review for final approval. Once approved, it’s scheduled to be deployed during a specific release. We understand that with each update, there’s the potential to disrupt your gameplay, and so our team takes care to group as many fixes together as possible to limit downtime. This essential yet often behind-the-scenes work involves collaboration across multiple teams. We prioritize issues based on both the reports and votes from the community, as well as the bugs identified by our QA team. Thank you for your continued reports and votes on what issues you want us to address!SolvedEA_Cade5 months agoThe Sims Team1.7KViews20likes20Comments

Help me name this sim
Meet Manny (that's his temporary randomised name) He is actually an alien and he is in my game just for fun, so my sims can befriend an alien. He is wearing the mannequin assets but is actually a CC-free sim. Onlyabidoang uploaded a family of mannequin sims to the gallery. You can use them if you have get to work and they behave like regular sims, just look a bit different. He has the mannequin overlay in both his alien form and his disguise so he always looks the same. His traits are erratic, child of the island and food lover (I don't recall the correct english name for this trait)Solvedatreya335 months agoLegend342Views6likes13Comments
