Imaginary Friend Discord Q&ASimGuruNovaEach of the four have a unique "Made Real" look that's consistent, based on their original Child (Imaginary) form. i.e. if you make Pretty Pegacorn real, she will always look like this at first. But once made real as a Teen, you can take them into CAS and customize if you wish, just like any other Sim!Once your Child Sim that made an Imaginary Friend ages up to a Teen, if they were good enough friends with their IF, they can Offer to Make Real on the doll, which allows them to turn their IF into a real Teen Sim. So it's good incentive not to neglect or be mean to them as a kid.Yes! Children will get a variety of different buffs/interactions unique to their Imaginary Friend. Other Sims will just see them talking to no one (like a Sim with the erratic trait,By default, the IFs have the following personalities:- Lil Monster: Goofball- Pretty Pegacorn: Evil- Krafty Kid: Creative- Wild Child: CompetitiveThese, however, can be customized BEFORE turning the doll into the Imaginary Friend. So, any doll can have any personality! It's up to you 🙂When you turn them into a real Teen Sim, they join the household, but as a roommate. You CAN adopt them into the family if you wish! It's up to you. They will have a randomized name (for a fresh start as a real Sim) but that's something you can always change in CAS to your heart's desire.Can you have children with them?When they become real? Sure! They're a real Sim. Just, you know, they have to become an Adult first lolThe personality will shape their entire set of interactions with the child! IFs will recommend different activities to do together based on personality - Creative IF will recommend arts and crafts, Competitive might recommend active activities or competitive ones like video games, Evil ones will recommend mischief and other bad behavior!Also, if you have an Evil IF, the Child can practice Mean interactions on them, strengthening their relationship! The Evil IF will love it, and encourage it. Then, eventually, if the Child heeds the advice of the Evil IF enough, they will gain the Budding Evil Persona trait, which might allow them to discover the Evil trait when they age up to Teen 🙂 If they so choose...Their human form outfits are unlockable in CAS if made real (or by cheating! but you didn't hear me say that)One IF per child, and one IF per doll at a time. So, if you are unhappy with your IF - the Child always has the option to Say Goodbye Forever, and you can purchase a new doll to switch it up! (But, how could you!!)For those of you asking about requirements to actually Imagine Up the imaginary friend as a Child (i.e. turn the doll into the IF)Here's the full process of Build Mode to IF:Buy the doll from Build Mode. The Child then can play with the doll as normal! Tell it secrets, pour their heart out, carry it around, etc. There is a requirement to make them into an IF:- Reach Creativity Level 3- Befriend the doll (as you play with it or talk to it, you will gain relationship! visible in the rel panel)- Or, be suffering from loneliness, so much so that the Child needs a friend now 🙁 Then, they can turn the doll into their IF.Four designs, no recolors this time. We wanted to give a variety of options compared to the single model offered for TS3 imaginary friends - they're reflective of their default personalities and the diverse stories you'd wish to tell with them!Can you order one as a gift from the phone or computer for your child? You could tell that story with a retail store!Just Children can imagine up IFs, or see their own IFs. They are invisible to anyone else.Do IFs attend high school?Yep! they can, like any other Sim.These are their teen forms. The Krafty Kid and Wild Child forms haven't been shared yet. Stay tuned 🙂Fully player driven. There will not be random IFs running around rampant.When made real, it can only be done with the Child who imagined them ages up. And then they become real as a Teen.Alrighty folks, we've hit the time limit unfortunately!! This went by super super fast. Thank you all for your amazing questions - keep an eye out for the wrap-up summary + I will try to provide questions to the answers we didn't quite get to yet for that, if possible

Explore unique townies, quests, and a glowing bioluminescent bay. Visit festivals, swim in jellyfish lagoons, or spot the mysterious Plumbird. Each neighborhood offers exciting Getaways: Camp Gibbi Gibbi, Revive & Thrive, and Love Highland.**🆕 What are the new features?**Curious about the new features in Adventure Awaits? Check out our latest article for more details:https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/news/adventure-awaits-expansion-pack**👀 What’s new and unique to Adventure Awaits?**One of the things we are most excited about in Adventure Awaits is the new level of coming-of-age experiences and childhood development for Sims. Build Entomology, Diving and Archery Skills or play Rock, Paper, Scissors and Hide and Seek with other Sims - even Imaginary Friends! Modular Playgrounds now give Child Sims even more ways to play together and create Formative Moments, making activities and experiences more meaningful and impacting Child Sims’ lives and aptitudes.**🤩 Are there new Traits, Aspirations, Skills, and Fears?**- **Traits:** - Competitive - Competitive Sims get a thrill out of challenges and competition. Depending on their level of competitiveness, Sims can be a good sport or go down the path of being a bad sport with unsportsmanlike behavior.- **Aspirations:** - Cool Kid on the Block - Child Aspiration - This Aspiration encourages Child Sims to be the coolest kid in their neighborhood by completing a list of tasks ranging from having the best collectibles to playing and winning games like Hide n Seek and Rock, Paper, Scissors. - Critter Hunter - Adult Aspiration -This new Nature Aspiration allows entomology aficionado Sims to collect, examine and enthuse about outdoor critters. Sims can use the Butterfly Collection and Papercrafts to complete tasks for this Aspiration and achieve the Critter Enthusiast Trait.- **Skills:** - Archery - Sims can hone the Archery Skill by using the new archery bow and target objects to practice their aim. - Paper Crafting - Sims who pick up the Paper Crafting Skill can make a paper airplane, make themed cards or tell fortunes with Cootie Catchers as their Skill progresses. - Entomology - As Butterflies flutter about Gibbi Point, Sims can catch the Butterflies with a net, hold them in the new terrariums and raise them in an incubator! Nurturing Butterflies from the caterpillar stage will increase this Skill. - Diving - When Diving Boards are placed near pools, Sims can practice the Diving Skill from Children through Elders and even pick up new tricks along the way!- **Fears:** - There are no new Fears.__## What to Expect in Adventure Awaits ##__**🏡 How do Getaways work?**Getaways are customizable experiences for Sims seeking a new thrill, complete relaxation and everything in between! To create a Getaway, select a location or create a Custom Venue for the occasion. Getaways can be scheduled for any length of time, but can also be recurring with a set schedule. Select the number of Sims attending (maximum 8 Sims), then assign roles for each of the Sims. You can also add Role Criteria for the roles assigned to Sims, select Role Activities and set a Role Outfit for each of the Sims. Getaways can also be assigned Challenges and Rules for even more possibilities!**🤔 What are Custom Venues?**A Custom Venue is a new Venue type that goes beyond standard Venues (i.e. Bars, Museums) and allows players to set rules and assign roles to Sims for venues. **🏋🏻 Are there any new Fitness animations?**Yes! The Adventure Awaits Expansion Pack introduces Free Weights, allowing Sims to do arm curls, teach a Pump It Up class or hire a Pump It Up instructor to guide Sims through exhilarating workouts. They can also use the new Spin Bike to work up a sweat, then make a refreshing recovery beverage with the new Blender object. **<:WooHoo: Are there any new WooHoos?**Adventure Awaits introduces Water WooHoo, allowing Sims to WooHoo in any body of water, even in the Jellyfish lagoon!**💀 Are there new deaths?**There are no new deaths in Adventure Awaits.**🏹 Can all Sims take part in Archery?**Yes! Sims from Children to Elders can take part in Archery. Just place the target down and play through. Your Sim can customize their bows as they increase their skills. A very skilled Sim can even fish using their bow and arrows!**🚣♀️ Can Child Sims go Kayaking?**Yes! Child Sims can also fish from Kayaks just like Adult Sims. Kayaks are a solo Sim activity, just one per boat, but you can have multiple out on the water. **🪼 Can you catch Jellyfish?**Yes, Sims can catch Jellyfish in the lagoon at Jellyfish Junction, but not in any other worlds. **🦋 Where can you find Butterflies? How many Butterfly types are there? **Butterflies and Moths can be found around Gibbi Point—Butterflies during the day and Moths at night! There are 14 unique species to collect, including a special butterfly unlocked by finishing the collection and placing it in the habitat. You can also raise Butterflies and Moths from caterpillars using the Flutterarium Incubator (found in Build/Buy). As your Sim levels up their Entomology skill, they'll unlock more options for raising these critters!

I was really determined to skip this pack because of the many EP in the last year, the many game breaking bugs. But this trailer makes that very difficult. So far I spotted a few things I really likecustom playground. Looks like we will also be getting a seperate slide that doesn't have to be attached to a huge structure.I hope some of the new playground parts can be used by toddlers as well. The one in the picture below would make sense for toddlers and childrenarchery: finally. Now this is something I would expect in a hobbies packs . The trick with the apple is a bit over the top and screams: 'don't try this at home' but I can see some of my sims taking on this new hobby. For my historical sims I hope this can be done off the grid (pottery was a dissapointment in that regard)new pool slides and 2 heights of diving boards. It is sad to see this locked behind and EP, they should be in a base game update. But it's better than not getting them at all.kayaks: it's nice to finally get an alternative to the boats in island living. Let's hope these kayaks allow two simsa new gaming console, it's been a while since we got one (not counting the one from the free event because that is permanently inaccessible for those simmers who missed the event)A bit random but I also really like this particular hair

It checks many boxes, many activities that I requested (archery, exercise bike, kayak).
I'm interested by this EP20.

I am interested in the bird, especially if it means more than one type and if a small pet.

I'm happy to see new activities like archery, kayaking, lifting weights, collecting insects (hopefully in every world), exercise bikes, blenders, maybe new playground equipment.
I also hope the bird is an indication that the new world is based on New Zealand. Looking forward to the full reveal trailer!

I heard the world is based on New Zealand. I really hope it has the reverse seasons if you have the season pack. Would be excellent fun for a vacations and just escaping from the games current season. Excited to see cycling classes- will make all the gyms in all the other worlds much more interesting.

Based on what has been shown/leaked the name is throwing me off. But I love everything we see in the teaser. I am so excited to get archery. My sims need more activities. I am excited for the bike classes and new gym equipment. Woohoo in the lake, is awesome. Hopefully it includes the ocean. I can't wait to see more. I really hop this includes a new lot type.

I was not a fan of EBN , as most occult play is on hiatus in my current play. And It was too occulty (is that even a word??😆) to me to use even only the world itself in my save.
but this is really interesting me. Hmm.. summer camp for kids? Partly, would need bands for that.. I mean this one time, at band camp...

jokes aside, really curious and waiting to know more 🙃

This looks like it was made for me! I love an outdoorsy theme pack and I'm running out of stuff to do. My Sims need somewhere new to park a tent or vacay in luxury. I'm not sure I'd trust a potentially buggy Sim with an arrow but archery looks interesting in a slightly scary way 🫣. I'm always happy to see lots and activities around water too.
I love birds (currently caring for a very lost very young racing pigeon IRL ❤️) and am interested in that little feathered friend there in the clip, I hope it's not like the disappointing chipmunk and woodpecker in Outdoor Retreat that my Sims can't interact with 😞. I hope Sims can feed and properly interact with this little guy...but then I have been talking to a pigeon for 3 weeks and that may be affecting my judgement 🤣.

Dont shoot me for honesty☠️I did like outdoor retreat and gave a lot of other options in the worlds. Jungle adventure also in build and loved the new food, places to stay in rental and just going for a walk in free roaming. I did expected more thrill, like searching for frogs, being attacked by croc or a bear or simply holding the wrong frog.

So I have my hopes up but not to excited yet🙂
