What happens when your alien sim and vampire sim have children

@jpkarlsen, thanks for this link! 🙂 I found it interesting and helpful.

 @Behappy1st, this explains what is going on in your game.  I know you don't use (or want to use) Mods, so you will have to use the cheat in order to make the game behave properly 😉 (or bite the bullet and just get this one Mod 🤨 ).  I would try the cheat first. 

*Also there are 2 ways to add pictures that you take in the game.  The easiest is to look right under the text box you type your posts to and you will see on the bottom right (but above the Submit button) a paperclip with a box and a button that says "Browse..." .  Click on the "Browse..." button and it will take you to your in-game pictures (if you have taken any) and then you can scroll to find the one you want.  You can add 3 pictures this way, but you wont see them until after you post.

*The second way lets you add as many pictures as you want, but it will add the pictures where ever you cursor is last located.  At the top of the text box that you post in there is a black bar that has formatting buttons like "B" for "bold" and the Emoji button with the smiley face.  Two buttons to the right of the Emoji button is the "Insert/edit image" button that is a square with a mountain and sun in it.  Click on that and will take you to your in game pictures.  Scroll through your pictures (like for the way you would in the first method) and then choose the picture you want.  This will then load a preview of that picture (on my computer it is just the top portion) but it will take a few moments to do so.  As soon as you see (part) of the picture, you then can click on the "Insert" button on the lower right corner and it will then load your picture in your post where ever you last had your cursor placed!  In this method you can see the picture before you Submit the post, and you can add more than 3 pictures that the other method limits you to.  I hope I explained this well enough! 😳  I think the 1st method is easier if you aren't that tech savvy or are in a hurry. 😉  Just one more note: pictures taken in game or in CAS will not show thought bubbles, or the display area, or (as in the case of CAS) the Vampire/Alien markers above the personality traits! To show pictures like this it is a much more complicated process which I don't even remember how to do completely! 😃  

Best of luck and Happy Simming! 

Thank you for that info. But I still can't do it because I stoped taking pictures a couple of months ago because there all upside down. And I recently noticed that when I add a house from the gallery or my saves while there being built the landscape is also upside down. I repaired the game 3 times no help. I looked online and saw it's being looked into. So I forgot about it for awhile and just check once in awhile. Very annoying because I really wanted some nice pictures.

Open the pictures in Paint  and rotate them.

What is paint? I'm not kidding I'm very bad in computers. I once took an aptitude test, in logic I scored 97 out of 100. But in mechanical(how things work) I scored a 27.LOL, I'm hopeless.

In windows 10 click start button and type Paint.

@Behappy1st, I understand!  I'm not very tech savvy myself despite being very good at science! 😳😃  I think if I lived with some one who really knows computers I could learn somewhat, at least more easily, but I really need to see it first hand to be sure I've grasped it!  And instant feedback is also important! 😉  

I hope (thanks to @jpkarlsen  😇 ) that with the Windows Paint program you are able to fix your picture problem! 🤞

Best of luck and happy Simming! ❤️

I have a Macbook Air.

@Behappy1st, I have never used a Mac, but I found some instructions for editing photos on a Mac (I would assume that it would be the same or at least similar in a MacBook Air).  Here is what I found:  https://www.imore.com/how-edit-pictures-photos-mac#rotate

I hope this helps you!  🤞🙂  Sometimes it can really help us help you if a picture of your problem is included. 😉  Plus sometimes it is just fun to share your game pics! 🥳

I can't figure it out. I also have another problem my sims work performance bar has been stuck in the same position for days, not sim days my days.he needs to be focused, always goes to work, computer whiz. He plays the video games and I've tried chess but nothing is moving it. I've restarted the game saved it, but nothing works. No more promotions.

@Behappy1st, that is alright. While it is often helpful to include a picture, it isn't necessary.  😉  

I'm not sure about your other question. 🤔 The only thing I can think of is that your Sim hasn't completed their daily task (which sometimes can change upon their last promotion).  Some of the early levels of some of the careers have you play video games in order to fulfil your daily task, but when they reach a higher level it will change to something else, like practice computer programing for 2 hours.  It has happened to me where I didn't realize that his task had changed and he wouldn't get promoted.  

If it is not this, you can always repair your game through Origin. 🙂  If that doesn't do the trick, then you might have to post a separate thread since this one is about Aliens and Vampires having children together! 😉😃

Best of luck and Happy Simming! 🥳

Lol, been there done that. I learned to check daily. He is 10 in both programing and video  I've tried everything. How do I start a new thread or find one? 

Click New Topic at the top right of the page.

@Behappy1st, so your Sims is top in their skill in video games and in programming. 🤔  Which career is he in exactly (and what branch of that career, if that applies to the situation)? Also, what is his current job level and where is the arrow on his performance meter at? 

His job is computer whiz and he chose the E Sports Gamer and he is at the highest level Champion Gamer.

And his level is at average.

@Behappy1st, I thought that might be his career.  I have a Sim in that career that is either at the top of it or near there .  I will have to check and see what kind of results I get.  I don't have too many Sims at the top levels of their careers, but my understanding is that even when they are at the top, they should still be able to get a raise (since technically they can't get a promotion 😉 ).  It is possible that it could be bugged.  I will try and test it this week to see what I get. 🤨

Yes, when a Sim is at the top of the career he will occasionally earn a raise or an extra vacation day. If I remember correctly this is based purely on how long the Sim has worked in the career.

Yes thats true. He is not the only sim that I have that reached the top of his career. And the raises seem never ending. No more promotions, but lots of raises. I gave up on his job, I had him quit. He has over $500,000. Money trees and dividends on money he has from the Fabulously Wealthy trait. And it was taking up to much time to go nowhere fast. Very annoying. Bottom line, if you reach the top of your carrier, keep going to get raises unless something happens like it did to me.

Hi Puglove 888, I don't know how to talk to just you so I'm riding tis one. Just wondering a couple of things. Have you noticed when you travel it's not a plane anymore but a CAR? And every time I go to Silvan Glade I se 2 lights shining out from the bushes and I hear laughter. I wonder f it could be a future fairy world.

@Behappy1st, you can always send me a private message, but then we wouldn't have the benefit of others learning from your questions! 😉  So, the best thing to do would be to start a new topic and just ask the question there that you did here. 🙂

Well, in regards to your questions, yes they have changed the icon for traveling to a car.  The Sim Gurus stated in the Developer's Livestream that they were going to change this to a car.  They were specifically referring to how it would be changed from the old magnifying glass icon because no body travels by magnifying glass! 😃  I guess the same logic can be applied to planes -- people might sometimes travel by planes, but they will more than likely travel by car, at least in the U.S.  Some people have speculated that this is a hint that we would be getting cars, but one of the Sim Gurus has said that there are no plans any time soon for cars in TS4.  So, while it is fun to speculate, don't hold your breath because you might be setting yourself up for a big letdown.  I just take these things with a grain of salt -- while it is possible that it could be a hint, it isn't probable until we get more concrete information! 😇

As for Sylvan Glade, it is a fairy world!  ❤️  It is a bit limited from what you are talking about, but those lights in the bushes have always been there since the game was released! 🙂  I have missed the laughter, probably because my sound is too low to hear it, so thanks for educating me on that! 😎  That said, I would love a more expansive fairy world in a future pack or update! ❤️🥳  That is still possible, but I think it more likely that if and when they give us a new supernatural pack, it would more than likely be a witch/wizard pack, since that is what the majority would prefer. 😉  

(You noticed the eyes/lights in the bushes, and the laughter, but have you noticed the Fairy Ring, or the actual tiny fairy flying around there?  You can see the fluttering of wings when playing! 🤨:eahigh_file:  Here are some pictures:

Yes, thats one of the reasons I was thinking Fairies. My thought is that Sylvan Glade may be a starting point for a future of Fairies. As far as getting to excited about anything I don't. But I would welcome ANY and All Paranormal life forms.Those are the kind of books I inhale. I love them and have read so many I have trouble finding ones I haven't read. I love playing with the vampires, but since I'm new to Sims I missed out on all the other ones. I never got to play Witches, Mermaids, Zombies etc. I wish I did I would have loved it. I contacted you this way because it's the only way I know. I kept the Email and just opened that. Your right in saying by talking to everyone someone else may be helped and I'm totally open to that, but I don't know how to start a new stream.

And just for the record you have been very nice and helpful to me and I just want to say Thank You.

@Behappy1st, you're welcome!  That's what I'm here for! 🙂

Yes, I love Sylvan Glade!  It is so gorgeous and would be a perfect place to have a fairy village of some sort, especially if they made it bigger!  Of course it is possible that if they ever have a Fairy pack they might make an entirely new place (like Forgotten Hollow for Vampires) , but if they expanded or built upon Sylvan Glade, it would be perfect in that everybody already has it since it came with the Base Game! 😎

I also love playing with all the supernatural Sims.  I have always loved fantasy, but just as important is that it shows you that there is more than one way to play the Sims.  New rules, abilities, restraints, etc. make for more interesting gameplay.  🥳  Even supernaturals that I thought I wouldn't like playing with turned out to be fun (not to mention a new challenge) .  Of course some versions of the game do things better than others.  (I loved the PlantSim challenge we had with TS4, but I don't like playing TS4 PlantSims as much as I did in TS2.  On the other hand, TS4 Vampires are the best! ) 

This is why I am so interested in seeing what an Alien and a Vampire will produce by way of children.  Is it completely random, or is there some sort of pattern? etc. 🤓  Since I tested a Vampire mother with an Alien father, I'm now doing the reverse … but that experiment is put on hiatus since I'm busy playing with all the new stuff Get Famous brings to the game, when I'm not getting ready for Christmas! 😇

As for starting a new topic, on the right hand of the Game Information page (or any other menu page) there is a big black box/button with the words "New Topic" in white.  This is on the right side under the main banner but above the picture that says "Want more Sims" on it. I hope I explained it well enough! 😳😉
