Ladies, Gentlemen, and everyone in between or outside of those descriptors, I give you...The TS4 True Completionist ChecklistI'm sorry it took so long after I teased it back in October, but I finally got back around to it after a few of lovely people commented on Reddit to ask for updates. I'm also sorry that some sections are not fully complete - I tried my best to get absolutely everything I could find before I unveiled this monster, but some things just can't be found online to my satisfaction just yet.Inside you will find a grand total of 35 tabs: Two explanatory tabs to help you understand some of the functionality I've baked in and what each tab is intended for, two summary tabs of formula-heavy tables to help you track your total progress, and 31 tabs with tables for everything from Work to Weather, Hosting to Hoarding. This template was built with Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2016. I do not guarantee compatibility with other versions of Excel, or with other spreadsheet programs such as OpenOffice, though the majority if it should translate well enough. Unfortunately the formulas do not work with Google Sheets.With that, I invite you to take a peek. Let me know if you find anything that is inaccurate - spelling errors, wrong data, missing data, ANYTHING. Especially missing data! I will compile any additions and corrections you all give me and periodically update the document at the link above.Please do not hesitate to ask questions, offer feedback, or just say hi! I would love to know if you find this useful! <3

O M G ! I need bigger letters to be able to convey that!!As a spreadsheet lover and a bit OCD this appeals to me mightily. But I can't even... it must have taken you SO much work, I'm gobsmacked.Thank you for your kindness in sharing this with your fellow simmers xx It is now sitting in my Sims Info folder on my computer, I think it may take me years to go through it :D

@Sansanna Oh, no! I was afraid of that. Maybe try the Excel for the Web option? If you have any kind of microsoft account it should be free to use. You can download the workbook from my dropbox, then upload it on the page that link will take you to I think the only thing that breaks in that case is the tab reference formulas - so I converted those to normal text and I believe this version should work for you that way if you're willing to use Excel for the Web. Perhaps someday I will figure out how Google Sheets works, but unfortunately right now I do not have the same knowledge level with it to make a Google version - I think it's less about your language, and more about the formula languages not getting along. :(@elanorbreton It was quite an undertaking, that is for sure! I wanted it to be more complete than it is before sharing it with the world, but some of the lists I wanted just aren't out there to find, it seems. If you find anything that I've missed or can clean up, please do let me know!

Am I the only one interested in learning all the recipes? None of the checklists I have found so far mention them (or bb objects/rooms for that matter).

@kusurusu Recipes are included in the Crafting tab. :) Granted - it's framed as "did you use the recipe" rather than "did you learn the recipe"... if you would like to track learned vs created, I can see about getting them added to the "Abilities" tab like the spellcaster spells, perhaps?Edit: filter the "Level/Requirements" column by searching "Eaten" to see them all in the current format. There are 61 that I found and included.

I will definitely look into this and see how different the list is. If there is a big enough difference, I will definitely work to get that added!Yes... In fact, there is also another death (besides turning into a bone pile) that doesn't have a ghost: Catastrophic Meltdown. Servos cannot become ghosts when they die: when they die, they get deleted.Plus it might also have various ways to trigger the death. Let's take death by drowning for example. We can have 4 separate ways to drown:Drowning - In poolDrowning - In oceanDrowning - Water gardenDrowning - Shark attackThough other deaths may have their own ways to trigger, I brought out drowning specifically because:a) Not all are caused by 0 energy andb) Drowning in ocean and by shark attack have unique death music.Oh, and death by overexertion could have two versions as well:Overexertion - ElderOverexertion - Research machine

I made a TS4 Completionist Tracker!

@EgonVM oh, wow! I admit, my sims almost never get a chance to die, so I didn't even think of it! I will get that added in the near-ish future. :) If you know of any good sources to pull from I would be grateful. When I looked it up I mostly only found the ghost trait lists I'd used before, but this definitely needs to be cataloged as well!

Hmm... That is indeed one thing...

If I had to make the list, I'll make it so (under the spoilers):
Old Age - Sim
Old Age - Cat
Old Age - Dog
Old Age - Rodent
Old Age - Fox (Cottage Living)
Old Age - Chicken
Old Age - Llama
Old Age - Cow
Starvation - Sim
Starvation - Rodent
Neglect (in the code, having a baby, toddler, or child taken away by social service is referenced as Death by Neglect)
Fire
Fire - Volcano (from touching a volcanic bomb)
Fire - Fireflies (Jungle danger)
Fire - Temple (From activating a temple trap to trying to pass a fire-locked door)
Fire - Curse (Jungle Adventure)
Fire - Wishing Well (Wish for Money death outcome)
There are so many causes for fire, but I'd separate those that immediately set sims on fire. So cooking fails is out. The inferniate spell is out as it doesn't always set a sim on fire. These things (that may start on a sim, and may require a sim to be near it) goes under just fire.
Electrocution - Failed Repair
Electrocution - Lightning Bugs (Jungle danger)
Electrocution - Temple (From trying to pass a electricity-locked door)
Electrocution - Curse (Jungle Adventure)
Electrocution - Big Red Button (Scientist career)
Electrocution - Robotics
Drowning - In Pool
Drowning - In Ocean
Drowning - Water Garden (Get Famous)
Drowning - Shark Attack
Overexertion - Elder (too much exercise or woohoo for an elder)
Overexertion - Research Machine (Uploading too much knowledge)
Laughter
Cardiac Explosion (Anger)
Embarrassment
Cowplant
Meteorite

Spa Day

Steam (Sauna)

City Living

Pufferfish - Sitting
Pufferfish - Sitting behind Table
Pufferfish - Standing
The difference is only in animation...

Vampires

Sunlight

Jugnle Adventure

Turning into Bone Pile (secret death that can only happen to NPC skeletons, doesn't leave a ghost)
I still take credit for discovering that one by the way...
Poisoning (jungle threats, temple, and poisonous ghosts)
Poisoning - Curse (This one is separate as it starts the poisoning off from stage two. This means that if left untreated they will die)

My First Pet Stuff

Rabid Rodent Fever (I wouldn't separate into got from rodent and got from another sim: it goes the same way)

Seasons

Freezing
Overheating
Lightning
Flowers

StrangerVille

The Source (real name under spoilers)
Spoiler
Death by Mother Plant - Sims who try to fight the plant alone twice in row will get eaten. Grim Reaper won't come: no chance to plead.

Realm of Magic

Spellcaster Overload

Discover University

Catastrophic Meltdown (as it happens to Servos, no ghost left behind)

Tiny Living Stuff

Crushed to Death by Murphy Bed

Eco Lifestyle

Flies

Snowy Escape

Crushed by Vending Machine
Falling

Cottage Living

Killer Rabbit
Killer Chicken

High School Years hasn't come out yet, so I don't know how to cause these death. I'm including these anyway.

Stink Capsule (failed prank)
Urban Myth (when two sims with a mirror summon an entity)

In addition, under these spoilers I'll include things that quickly turn sims into ghost (no Grim Reaper, immediately a part of the household). Things with P at the end are permanent, thus requiring Ambrosia to get the ghost back to normal sim.

Spoiler
Ghost Potion (Get to Work)
Wishing Well (Failed wish for youthful vigor)(Romantic Garden Stuff) P
Potion of Immortality (Fail)(Realm of Magic)
Beetlejuice (Eco Lifestyle) P
Ghastly Ritual (Paranormal)

Of course there may be things I might have missed, but this is the list.

Edit. Oh, and a fun one for Neighborhood Stories: how many deaths were experienced that way. So far, the following deaths (under spoilers) are possible:

Spoiler
Fire
Drowning
Electrocution
Overexertion
Cowplant
Laughter
Anger
Embarrassment
Sunlight
Freezing
Overheating
Spellcaster Overload
Falling
Killer Rabbit
Killer Chicken

I have made a discussion which collect the death messages that come from Neighborhood Stories.

Thank you! I though I was a completionist but looking at your file I guess not :D

Will you notify us if you update it?

@JackOnYourBack Many of the "completionist" lists I've seen prior to this were missing a lot of stuff - even this isn't anywhere near as complete as I would like it to be just yet.

Yes, I will do my best to notify when updates are made. I will edit the first post and probably also add a comment to this thread since I don't think edits will trigger notifications. I also have a thread on Reddit - not sure which is easier to follow, but I will keep both updated. :)

I had another look. And I do agree it's a beast. As more things come, this beast grows more and more. That is so much work you have done well.
Though I did come up with two more suggestions:

1. Celebrity perks and quirks (at first, I also though about reputation too, but nah, 6 celebrity perks require certain level of reputation).
2. Neighborhood Action Plans activated and repelled (so yup, a week of Sharing is Caring for completion).

In addition, I do feel like the list of sentiments has room for more. There are a lot of sentiments in game and most of the lists on the internet are incomplete, so it is understandable. Still, it is missing my favorite My Wedding Stories sentiment called "You Died at MY WEDDING". I should one day get myself compiling a "as much as I can complete" list of sentiments here.

@EgonVM These are great! I will work on getting them added. :D I didn't think of the Neighborhood Stories, either.

As I started playing finally (haven't done so since I started working on this beast), I also realized I missed certain "teaching moments" that I think I might include in Abilities for now - different flashcards, "please and thank you" etc with toddlers that I think? gives additional boosts even if you max their skills another way?

I really don't know about additional boosts thing... "Please and Thank You" does also increase manners and "Sorry" increases conflict resolution, but they can be done on both toddlers and children. Flashcards change depending on how high is the toddler's skill level, so I don't think it will give something more.
But one thing is for sure: teaching toddlers or children to howl will unlock howling for them. So that's one thing. And having a child play with the doctor's playset a lot will give them a special moodlet when they're working as a doctor/vet.

@blueybluesky You're very welcome! I hope it comes in handy. Please let me know if you find anything else I should add or anything that is incorrect. As you can see from other replies, I've already got a list of things to add/tweak in the near future. :D
