What Did I Miss? - Been Gone For Two Years...

So after clocking up 2000 hours ingame I took an extended break from the Sims 4 in 2021. I have finally been tempted back by the promise of the Growing Together expansion! I booted up my game and found quite a lot of new free content added already, including aspirations I don't recognise. Awesome! I'm excited to get back to playing now some fresh air has been breathed in to the game...

But then I went to look at my usual go-to guides and sites... Carls Sims 4 Guide, the wiki... and found surprisingly little content about the newer content post Cottage Living. I know Carl is still actively modding (hooray!) but I was wondering if there are any active websites or guides people could recommend for me to catch up on the last two years of content that I've missed? I like to have a reference handy; there's a bunch of new mechanics like the stuff from High School Years that I straight up don't know about. Rather than me posting endless questions on old topics and spamming the board, if anyone can point me in the direction of useful resources I would super appreciate it.

And if you've got any tips or "must know" info that I might not be up to speed on, please feel free to drop pearls of wisdom below. I really appreciate any and all help offered; thanks for taking the time to read this.
  • Sounds like you are already familiar with Carl, have you checked out the forums there? It's not as handy as having a proper guide, but the folks there are pretty helpful & they have some guides for the newer packs posted there.
  • @MuggyQuasar as @JustinB113 says there have been a few packs and kits and HSY Ep so even more aspirations to do thats what i'm doing just now going through all the aspirations like James Turners super sim challenge Where i'm letting all my main sims children age up but keep my Main sims as young adults do all jobs too only cheat allowed is testing cheats
  • Welcome back. I find the sims community pretty indispensable when I need a reminder or come across an aspect of the game I haven't used before.
  • Welcome back! :smile: Another suggestion I can make is to watch the livestreams of the new content which are still on Youtube. They are always a great overview of the biggest new features. I hope you enjoy being back!

    You forgot about being hired by Vlad Straud to redecorate his living room in a "Groovy Barbie" aesthetic.

    In all my years of using his website I never even noticed there was a forum! Thank you, this will be a great help.
