Tell Us About Your Favorite Sims 4 Families

Thank you @simsplayer818 When I get a chance I'll take a bunch of new shots of the lot and share them here in Creative Corner. I have lots of pictures on my Imgur but I've made some changes since the last ones were taken. I've been tempted in the past to share my builds in Creative Corner on the old forum, but everyone creates such beautiful lots with just the content from Maxis. I feel little uneasy about jumping in with my CC and debug heavy lots, and sims. The reason being is none of those creations I post can be shared on the gallery because of all the CC. Those beautiful lots others are sharing there can be. That's why I use the 'What Happened In Your Game Today' thread in the old forums to show off the builds. Both as WIPs and the final product.🙂

The outdoors kitchen and dining  patio is lovely! @DaniRose2143 🙂 The design and furnishing is very nice. The corner dome grill is a great part of the patio. The scenic views from the bar stools counter would be lovely whilst dining there. 

It would be very lovely if you share your creations in the Builds section of the forums @DaniRose2143 🙂 Whether you use cc or not, we would all enjoy seeing your builds, even if they are unable to be uploaded to the gallery. I would enjoy looking at them 🙂

@rosemow @simsplayer818 Ok, I will see what I can work up here and post in Creative Corner. I'll start a thread over there in the near future. I don't want to hijack @simgirl1010's thread with those pics.😁

I will look forward to seeing your thread and the pictures @DaniRose2143 🙂

It's awesome that we have almost the same play style! Yes, I play with aging off because I don't want my Sims to die. I totally understand! The two girls in my main family are about 11.5 years old and their great-grandparents, grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles are all young adults 🙌! I think their great-grandparents are 23 (so slightly older than the rest of the family!)

It's really cool that one of your toddlers remained a toddler for about 4 actual years😎! My 2 Sim kids have been 11.5 since July 2016! Thanks for saying that Candice is cute!

My favourite Sims 4 family is a chosen family.
It all started back in July 2022 when I made 4 of my favourite adult Sims teenagers to test the Highschool Years EP.

Even though I always was a rotational player: Since this day I never switched to play another household again.
They are easily my favourite family of all my Sims games (I play since The Sims 1).

I know the adult versions of Vlad and Jack for far over 10 years (they already existed in my Sims 3 game) Giga/Saiwa for ~ 9 years and Ji Ho for almost 5 years.

Teenage Ji Ho met the others at the highschool and after a few struggles they eventually became friends.
The premades Jeb and Kiyoshi approached them and they soon joined the family.

Here are their profiles:

They undertook many adventures, faced many troubles and went through a lot together. But nothing could taint their friendship.

But we also have a lot of fun!
We get inspired a lot by pop culture. Movies, series, books, music...

And we weave these specials into our story.
Like here in our Sabotage Chapter inspired by the Beastie Boys:

Or our Heidi Special

It never gets boring with them :3

I learned a lot from/for them. Not only writing better in english (still a long way to go but I would have never tried if it weren't for them) and editing screenshots. But also learning more about how people behave in general (I struggle a lot with that since I'm autistic). The Boys with their (very) different personalities and disorders make me stop and think how different charcters react on the same situation, for example.

It was lovely reading about your sims friends that you have in your game and are in your story @LennyOgg 🙂 It was great reading their profiles. It is very special that you have been learning and growing also as their sims lives develop ❤️
