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
[Survey] Player to Player—where are we at?
We do not get to see the EA/Sim Developer survey results (I really wish we would/could). We do not know that the actual majority of the Simmer base is asking for. But would you like to know where the other Simmers stand/are at, at this stage of Sims 4? What gameplay themes are your priority 1-10 (1 being priority and 10 being lowest or no priority)? Modern and regular everyday life (more family, children and modern/regular activities/lifestyles) Modern and better than reality life (vacation/travel, business/career based, extreme activities and luxury lifestyles) Modern with minor fantasy elements (not really occults, more like wishing wells, kissing frogs, etc.) Modern with fantasy elements (occults in the modern world like Harry Potter, vampire/werewolf pop culture books/tv/movies, etc.) Era and regular everyday to better than reality life (Victorian, Bridgeton inspired, Medieval, etc.) Era with minor fantasy elements Era with fantasy elements (steampunk, dragons, etc.) Future with no alien elements Future with minimal alien/fantasy elements (like some "Into the Future" aspects) Future with alien/fantasy elements (Utopia ideal technology, Dystopia survival, space travel/living, etc.) What life stages are your priority? What life states are your priority? Out of the most recent EPS (Business & Hobbies, Enchanted by Nature, Adventure Awaits and Royalty & Legacy). How would you rate their themes in a grade system (even if you didn't get them), to your playstyle? Out of the most recent EPS (Business & Hobbies, Enchanted by Nature, Adventure Awaits and Royalty & Legacy). How would you rate their gameplay in a grade system (if you got them (those applicable))? What is your biggest beef with Sims 4 at the moment? What is your biggest draw to Sims 4 at the moment? I just wonder if Simmers are just all over the board, and devs can't make heads or tails of what we want, or if we are more aligned than we think and devs are just not getting our message? Thank you for all who participate, to help give other Simmers insight.
We can hire an Upgrade Technician!?
Vanilla Game. We can hire an Upgrade Technician? When did this happen? Bit expensive, but this is great. "Hire Upgrade Technician (From Being Lazy) Using something fully upgraded is the optimal feeling of luxury! Hire an Upgrade Technician via Hire a Service in the Phone's Home Category." "Upgrade Technician for S1,200 plus S 95/hour" Wow. They do a "Instant Upgrade (core)" 😄😎
Sims4 Random Thoughts thread 2.0
Old version was locked some time ago, so here we have a new one. From old thread: A thread for those occasions when we want to comment on something game related or ask a question without having to start a new thread. Or those comments and questions that don't really fit into an existing thread.Infants and Toddlers! Share Your Gameplay 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
I Spy....
I searched the forums and couldn't find a thread similar to this. Thanks to I Still Love Scenery, my most favourite thing to do is explore the worlds. But I've come to notice that with many of the pics I post, I get a lot of 'I've never seen that before!' responses. So let's play a game! I'll post a picture of something I found in a world to see if anyone's spotted it before, as well. I'll make it a little easier by giving world clues. And extra points to players who share their own shots of the mystery feature. Double extra points if you post shots with your Sims in the picture!! Here's the first round. World clue: 🐶🐱 Personal note: I've visited this lounge probably a hundred times already and this was the first time I spotted the playground with this gorgeous octopus mosaic tiling. Nice touch, designers! Ready! Set! Go!...
What Should He Wear? . . .
Erik Cantrell, just now a B-Lister, is busy making his way up the fame ladder, as well as learning how to suddenly be a Lord of Ondarion. Between gigs, he practices archery, and swordsmanship. He's so overwhelmed at the moment that this sixteen-year-old, raised more or less as a commoner, is now totally blown away to have been nominated for Song of the Year. What to wear, what to wear, what to wear, He hopes will all of his young, tender heart that others will give him some guidance. His mother does remind him this is a Big Deal and to dress accordingly. Here are his choices: 1. His official suit. 2. a regular three-piece suit. 3. a monkey-suit or 4. this fanciful number. What say you? Thanks to all who participate. I'm totally stuck.

Challenges to do
I've started getting a bit bored doing regular things in the sims 4 and I'm looking for some challenges, the only packs I currently own is Seasons and Cottage living, and if you wanna count it i also got backyard stuff, romantic garden stuff, my first pet stuff and the holiday celebration, I've never been a big fan of the 100 babies challenge so I'm looking for other recommendations on challenges
Q&A: Royalty & Legacy
#AD (just in case this counts as social media) I was invited to join the CFE (not final build) opportunity for The Sims 4: Royalty & Legacy. 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 - Skills/Traits/Aspirations/Career/Venues/Systems/Collections/Lore - and anything else you guys want to know about! I did test with ALL PACKS in as I believe this is yet another pack with cross-compatibility possibilities related to the various systems. (Please Note: Testing with other packs in is unsupported before regular Early Access, so may be extra buggy.) Testing was/will continue to be done on a mix of fresh CAS Sims and premades, to see lore and experience different levels if they are present. 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. I can't start posting right away this time due to the embargo, but will be continuing to take notes/screenshots and will post info when I can. P.S. - I have a Creator Code, so if you find my Q&A useful you might consider it as an option at checkout. Using my code gives me a small commission (5% regularly, 7% during sales) and can even save you a little bit of money on TS4 DLC during sales (normally 5%). My code is EmmaVane. Just enter the code on the the payment screen where Promo Codes normally go. Thank you, EA for this opportunity.

[LLQE] Issues with tasks | EA Forums - 13155097 [LLQE] Event not visible in game | EA Forums - 13158856What is Your Dynasty Set Up (Skills/Ideals) and Results?
So far I found: Charisma Skill with Caring/Diplomatic Ideals Natural Living/Gardening/Gemology/Fishing/Entomology with Nature-Loving Ideals Really effective (almost too effective) for gaining Prestige. Gardening and Fishing becomes very high in autonomy so much that house plants will now always be maintained (before R&L mine always would die if I didn't manually water), harvesting is autonomous, and fishing is higher in autonomy even off lot. I am also trying: Spellcaster with Practical Magic and Thanatology/Medium Skill with Mysterious Ideals Spellcaster with Mischief Magic and Mischief/Romance Skill with Devious/Mysterious/Passionate Ideals with the Voodoo Doll (bound to partner) This is so-so but not nearly as efficient, and takes some effort on the player's part. Voodoo Scandal pops up a lot which I like.
