Nature's Calling Event Gameplay Thread (Week 2 Now Available)
Follow the whispers on the wind and unlock new woodworking and nature-themed rewards, including the new Reclaimed Woodworking Table, just for logging in! Get ready for a free, limited-time Event that begins on June 24, 2025 at 9 a.m. PST and ends on August 5, 2025, where you’ll need to venture into the great outdoors and hone your handiness skill to discover a long-hidden secret of nature. One fateful day, you hear a faint voice as you step outside. The voice is fleeting and is soon gone, as if carried away by the wind itself. Still, you long to hear it again, and so you journey forth to discover the source of the whispers. Your adventure will be rewarded throughout the Event with new free items such as The Wooden Throne outhouse. This new off-the-grid toilet can be the perfect place for Sims to handle their business out of doors, or even a spot for a little restroom rendezvous! How Does it Work? Open Live Mode with an existing or new Household. Your Sim will soon hear barely audible whispers in the wind, encouraging them to spend time outdoors and get in touch with nature, all with the hopes of hearing the mysterious voice again. As you progress, you’ll spend more time outdoors, level up your handiness with new woodworking recipes, and uncover the mysteries of nature. The more Quests you complete, the more Event Points and rewards you’ll earn. The Event will run for six weeks in total, with two new and exciting Quests each week for the first four weeks. The final two weeks of the Event is a grace period, where Simmers can catch-up, continue completing Quests, and claiming their rewards. How to take part in the Nature’s Calling Event: Make sure you’re online. Log in to your EA account. Enter Live Mode, where you’ll see the first pair of Quests, which start with a pop-up. In Live Mode, access the Event Screen by clicking on the Event Icon! Earn Event Points by completing Quests and Goals. As you earn Event Points, you’ll be able to claim new rewards. Claim your rewards through the Event Screen in the Main Menu or Live Mode by selecting Claim. Note: You must be in Live Mode to claim Consumable rewards. Claimed rewards will be available in Build Mode, Create a Sim, your Sim’s Personal Inventory, or the Household Inventory. Filter to view Event rewards using the Event Rewards filter. Find this under the Special drop-down in both Create a Sim and Build Mode. For more help with claiming rewards, check out our EA Help article. Each week, two new Quests will be available. Complete these Quests to earn more Event Points and unlock new rewards! Nature’s Calling Optional Goals Throughout the Nature’s Calling Event, you’ll have opportunities to earn extra Event Points through Optional Goals. These Optional Goals require you to own certain The Sims 4™ Expansion Packs in order to complete them. But fret not! None of these goals are required to complete the Nature’s Calling Quests and all non-consumable rewards will be earnable by all Simmers. Completing these goals will simply award bonus Event Points, allowing you to unlock rewards slightly faster and claim additional consumable rewards. These Optional Goals will be clearly denoted in the Quest panel. Note: Simmers who own the featured Expansion Packs will not be required to complete Option Goals in order to complete Quests. However, if all of the Required Goals for a Quest are completed prior to the completion of an Optional Goal, the Quest will be completed, and the Optional Goal will be lost, along with its associated Event Points. We recommend that Simmers prioritize the Optional Goals first before moving on to the Required Goals for a Quest. Expansion Packs featured in the Nature’s Calling Event Optional Goals include: The Sims™ 4 Cats & Dogs The Sims™ 4 Snowy Escape The Sims™ 4 Horse Ranch Expansion Pack The Sims™ 4 Lovestruck Week 1 Do-it-yourself with the Reclaimed Woodworking Table!

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. XPositive Thoughts Thread Enchanted By Nature

Speaking of Outhouses . . .
I find it rather amusing that the one we can unlock in the game during this current Quest, has a sliver of a moon on the door. That sliver stands for the goddess Luna, the Roman goddess of the moon. Goddess is feminine and hence the outhouse with the sliver of a moon is the women's outhouse. A-hem.
The "meeting up with weird rich guy" quest...
Did my sim just have an affair with Landgraab, a one-night stand for a bunch of Rubies and Gems - basically money. Because, isn't that illegal in the United States except in parts of Nevada? I mean, in the Sims 2, I made a brothel, but that was a legal business enterprise where the Mayor of Sim City and the police department all received a 10% cut of the profits. So did my sim just break the law in 50 states. I mean she talked about "void critters" but that could have been just a coverup, and if nothing was illegal why did they disappear into a cheap hotel on the outskirts of town? I think I'm going to take a bath now.
What Packs Do You Recommend For Me?
General discussion gets very often, if not daily, some threads where simmers ask for help about what pack they should buy 😊 Specific packs or from all the packs . What is of course a great thing to ask, however, would be nice if all those asks were all at same place.😉 This thread is for this purpose, tell us your playstyle or any detail you wish, to make it easier to give you suggestions 😊 Also here something to help you with the decision : https://simscommunity.info/2024/02/26/sims-4-pack-guide/
The screenshot spammers thread, v2.0
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 😃

Q&A: Enchanted by Nature
#AD (just in case this counts as social media) I was invited to join the CFE (not final build) opportunity for The Sims 4: Enchanted by Nature. Thank you to the EA Creator Network for this chance to answer questions for you about the pack! I will be taking and answering mainly questions about gameplay, dancing with Fairies, foraging for Apothecary Ingredients, reciting Fables, upsetting the Balance, souring the Luck, WooHooing in the Sky and seducing our new favourite Greenie Meanie, Spruce! Plus I'll give you info on Fairies, new Skills/Traits/Aspirations/Career/Lore/Systems and anything else you guys want to know about! And there's a lot. I haven't had as much time as I wanted to play with this one around work, so am still learning as I go. I can always cheat up levels if you need info I don't have yet, etc. I haven't played cross-pack yet, because I want to compare what's available with and without it, but if you do have cross-pack questions, add them in and I'll answer when I can. The embargo has already lifted at time of posting and I'll break answers down into spoilers (if they are working yet, if not, replies) in case you just want to know some things and keep the rest a mystery. Format will be similar to past Q&As where I have links to each subject and add more info to each based on questions asked and as I discover things through gameplay. If you didn't see it the first time you look, check on the subject post again later. I'll add [WIP] if there's still info to come. Index to follow. Let me know if there's something I forgot. You know the drill... May your Mischief be merry, and your Luck be good! P.S. - I also have a Creator Code now, so if you find my Q&A useful you might consider it as an option at checkout. This doesn't give you a discount, but it would give me a 5% commission on price of the pack. If you wish to use it, my code is EmmaVane. Just enter the code on the the payment screen where promo codes normally go. Thank you, EA for this opportunity.

The Sims On Social Media
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 Mobile and The Sims Freeplay.
