[My Wedding Stories] Arranging Ideal Circumstances
Honestly, as of currently, the wedding pack is decent. All my sims sat down when they were supposed to and followed the itinerary, which meant the big buttons on the arch actually work. Here are some tips for a smooth wedding: A wedding venue WILL have strangers walking in. As the Wedding Venue doesn't seem to have a Lock for Event goers only, the best thing to do is to abuse the "Kick out of Wedding Event" incessantly and the only thing left will be your guests. DO NOT invite toddlers or infants. Toddlers have nowhere to sit and will disrupt the wedding. It is best that they unfortunately stay out. Abuse the Make Needs Happy button (Fulfil needs cheat). Every 5 hours, I will pause the game and do it to ALL my guests including the bride and the groom. This will prevent anyone from dying in the game or peeing all over. The best thing to ensure the cake does not go bad is by buying an hour before the wedding and remembering to set it as cake in Wedding right before. If you download a wedding venue from the gallery, make sure routing is okay before you proceed to hold your ceremony. The last issue is something I find a little difficult to solve. As you CANNOT force change outfit through cheats of other sims not played by you (No mods), the outfit aspect is a HUGE gamble. Thankfully, my Sims looked decent for their friends' Chinese wedding but this is definitely something I hope Maxis adds in, as we can't really select the outfits for each guest (unfortunately).30Views2likes0CommentsFire Count . . .
Just for grins and giggles, I decided to go through my updates and count just how many times a fire has broken out at Erik Cantrell's home. I made a list: Cantrell: The Early Years, Part Six "Celebration Gone Awry" Update-1 Cantrell: The Middle Years, Part One" "But the Naturopath Said . . ." Update-12 "Balancing Act" Update-14 "Stuck On the Dark Side of the Moon" Update-16 Cantrell: The Middle Years, Part Two "When the Year Ends With a Bang" Update-1 "Putting on a Brave Face" Update-3 "Under Fire" Update- 8 (This is a twofer, as in two fires in the same update. Yikes) I haven't written up the next update, but yeah, it's got a fire in it, too. I think my Erik Cantrell family is having a serious streak of bad luck, wouldn't you? Please list a count of how many fires your main Sim family has encountered. It's okay if you don't list any titled updates, I'm aware not everybody shares a story. I just want to know I'm not alone in this. Merry Christmas! Oh, and if you wish to add pictures, be my guest. I just don't have time at the moment to look mine up. Have the Company Christmas party tonight. 😁20Views0likes0CommentsGiveaway! Two Kits or 1 Stuff Pack of Choice • Ends Dec 20th

In my quest for a supersim Callisto, her son needs to grow up into an adult and start a family of his own. He is currently still a toddler but will soon become a child. In childhood I want him to befriend one of the female imagenary friends so he can turn her real and eventually marry her. Which one should he choose? The unicorn or crafty kid? Any suggestions for a personality to choose for them, basically anything except evil. Some background: his mother is Callisto, the granddaughter of a Morgyn Ember clone on her mothers side and a sulani elemental on her fathers side. She is a spellcaster through and through. And a perfectionist as she is doing all apsirations. His father is Kiyoshi, a former mt. Komorebi resident and nowadays a werewolf with a university degree.54Views1like0CommentsThe Sims Forums Specific Rules

The Sims 4 & AI
Hi, I'm CBTucker. I'm a new YouTube creator. https://www.youtube.com/@cindytucker1970 I use my real art in AI to create music videos. I consider creating in The Sims an art form. Am I allowed to use images from this game in an AI-generated video? I asked YouTube's AI, but it couldn't provide guidance on that. I want to ensure that I'm not breaking any rules, as this AI technology is still very new. I want to make sure I understand my rights and responsibilities. Thank you for your time.stilettoblack3 months agoSeasoned Veteran49Views0likes0Comments- 52Views2likes0Comments
Word of Advice . . .
If your Sim is up for a Starlight Accolade, and you forget that when your Sims' son needed a microphone for an announcement right after he placed his Tile on the Avenue of Stars . . . it's a good idea to remove that extra microphone before you leave the lot. My Sim was sitting in chairs awaiting the start of the show, yet he and his wife were the only ones in the third-floor studio, when the notice popped up that another Sim had won an award. 😮 Say, what? Nobody's here. All I could think of was, which new mod or piece of cc is interfering, now? I decided to exit without saving, the only rational thing to do, when on my way to the ground floor, I stopped to remove the microphone the other star was standing before receiving her award. That's when it hit me. It's a little like having more than one wedding arch on the same lot. IT MALFUNCTIONS. So, just keep in mind if you play Get Famous, not to leave another microphone on a different portion of the same lot. You can have two, so long as they're both on the stage. There, I have done my good deed for the day, Carry on . . .53Views1like0CommentsSkilled sims are problematic?(ones saved in gallery)

I have created a massive survey of different wants and wishes in the Sims 4. https://survey.ucalgary.ca/jfe/form/SV_0CmMxpJNrl4KWWy Yesterday, I posted asking to generate a massive list of things players would like to see in the game. Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback! The purpose of this survey is to gather as much data from players as possible. Results will be published on Reddit, the Sims Forums and anywhere else that will have me. The survey link is anonymous, but I did use the Qualtrics functioning to block repeat submissions from the same device.

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 😂😭Lion-In-A-Teacup6 months agoNew Vanguard91Views2likes0CommentsTiny Fairy Wings
So my Fairy decided to have a bit of fun and turn 2 of her boyfriends into a Fairy. Both times they transformed with the tiniest wings..... Odd I know and nothing a simple edit in CAS can't fix. But does anyone know if this is just how it does if it isn't mother nature turning one?ems03096 months agoRising Scout76Views1like0Comments“Groundhog Day glitch”
I’ve read about different post about this glitch but they were old post from years ago, when my sim went into create a sim to look for a new outfit, after exiting the days went back, it was originally Monday and went back to Saturday? This issue has never happened before and I’m not sure if it’s from the new update or an old reoccurring problem.Dirty_Diana_556 months agoSeasoned Newcomer58Views2likes0CommentsNew Small Challenge Freestyle Idea!

At the launch of the sims werewolves, the sims gurus created a few examples to showcase the paint mode. I never gotten around to using them but now I want to add one of them but I can't find this werewolf on the gallery. Can anyone help me find him/her? This werewolf was created by simgurukimmi but that name can't be found on the gallery werewolf165Views1like0CommentsCastle Dragonheart Is a Small Business?
I built a castle, that took a good three-four days to get right. I made one version of it a restaurant and then made a few tweaks to it and turned it into a private residence. This was quite some time ago, back when I was still playing a previous, now defunct save. Long before H & B came out. (We were still on the old forums, to give you a clue as to how long ago.) So, you can imagine my surprise, when I dusted it off and took it out of my gallery to download it into my current save, to find it was designated a Small Business. 🤔 I need help in removing this designation. I plan on using it as a Vacation Rental, for my Rock Star and his family, while he's on a World Tour. He's not the original owner and I am at a loss as to how to remove the small business trait. I've been careful to add whatever I think this family may need while they stay here, knowing full well that once they rent this vacation rental, there is no access to Build/Buy mode. Without that access, there is no way for me to make a change in lot Traits. If anyone knows how I might remove the small business icon, I would appreciate a step-by-step. Please and thank you, in advance. And please don't suggest I rebuild it. I'm uncertain I have the heart for it.99Views1like0Comments[INFO] Make sure you meet the minimum requirements (PC/Mac)
