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
Limited pack save: best packs for Enchanted By Nature
I started a limited pack save to explore the new pack. With so many DLC the game is becoming so complex. Taking out a bunch of content helped me to focus on what actually comes with the pack. Here is my current set up get together: clubs are essential to get groups of friends together cottage living: complements the build/buy items, new options for farming Life and Death: the spooky vibe goes well with the magic of the new pack Businesses and Hobbies: not really needed but I like the tattoo options an a few other things. Realm of Magic: build/buy goes well with the new items. unforturnaly spellcasters do not werewolves: great for foraging sims living in nature. I also want to explore fairy/werewolf friendship crystal creations: supports the magical vibe The main conclusionsso far is that seasons really transformed the game.WWithout seasons the world suddenly looks so bright and cheerful. No gloomy clouds. Growing plants is so easy without seasons. All plants in all worlds are ready to be harvested. No messages that they are out of season. And no messing with greenhouses. What packs do you think are good combinations with the new pack? Do you sometimes turn off certain packs to explore new content?

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 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 😃
Silly Mistakes We Make . . .
A fellow Simmer let me know there was a mod to help out with the Emotional Void ailment that all but struck down my Rock Star. She noticed I had threatened to let that save sit until I could resolve this issue. I grabbed the mod all excited about it, but then, silly me, I installed it incorrectly. Full disclosure: I'M NOT NEW TO MODS. I thought the reason the mailbox cheat didn't work, and so therefore neither did the mod. However, before I did anything rash, such as uninstall it, I checked the site to find the instructions on how to enable said cheat. I forgot the vital testintcheats true before I shift-clicked the mailbox. That still didn't work, but then I took a look at the mod and realize I had unwittingly installed it two folders deep. It was clear to only place it one folder deep. I fixed that, needless to say, but since my Sim only had about 14 hours left to his ailment and another player had suggested purchasing a pill from the Apothecary table, I thought I'd do that. I sent him to Innis**** (can't recall the full name of the new world) after looking up where it was. Found one in the Gnom (shouldn't that be Gnome?) museum, but it didn't work so I sent him to the realm of the Faeries and got lucky enough to find a liaison to the Council. She was very kind, and my Sim was instantly attracted to her. I had to have him cool his jets, he's a very married man, after all. He was able to ask for a cure and voila, she cured him. YAY! I have other such tales, but none are coming to mind at the moment. Please share your silly moments so we can all have a good laugh at ourselves. Trust me, this is cathardic.Do your sims partners lack personality?
Okay, so I was just updating my sims legacy note book to add in my information from my gameplay but I’ve just realised most (if not all) of my sims partners are really one dimensional. I always find myself focusing on just one partners family rather than both or don’t focus on my sims partners storylines (unless it related to their relationship). don’t get me wrong, some generations I have been able to focus on both, but 90% of the time they don’t have anything going on 😂😭Annoying Gnomes from Enchanted by Nature
I have the new expansion pack for fairies and I’m aware that gnomes were a big part of the marketing for some reason. I’m currently playing in San Myshuno in a family that has nothing fairy related going on, yet these stupid gnomes keep appearing in my home. Sometimes they clean, other times they break everything in my house. I’m aware that in the game options there’s a way to turn off things like dust bunnies and whatnot but why doesn’t an option exist to turn off these dumb gnomes? If I’m missing something, someone please enlighten me because I’m so sick of having to call the repair service every time these gnomes appear. I’ve been dragging and selling them when they show up but not before they break everything. It’s honestly just a really annoying feature. I can understand them showing up in Innisgreen, but in any other neighborhood is just plain ridiculous. I honestly don’t even see the appeal.Livestream: Enchanted By Nature Coming Today July 17

Is it worth hanging in high school just to see the graduation?
All of my sims' kids are so smart by the time they get to high school that the teachers usually tell them the first day that they don't need to come back. They are making the other kids look dumb I guess. They are polite enough not to say that. So anyway I have never seen a child actually graduate. Is there a ceremony or just a rabbithole kind of thing like in University?
Legacy tips & tricks
Hi so I really wanna start a legacy save but I struggle with sticking with it so can you guys give me some tips and tricks to stick with it?
