Have you ever overloaded your game with too much CC and mods?
TLDR: I had fun with mods and cc today and I'm curious about y'all's opinions. Scroll to the bottom for the questions. So today I reallllly wanted to just download a boatload of cc. I started with Peacemaker and Illogical Sims and then just spiralled into the void. Four hours later, I was equipped with a toooonnn of Build/buy cc and then I started on the spiral of CAS cc... (shoutout to Nolan Sims for just like the most amazing maxis match stuff). When I was satisfied, I decided I needed more mods. Now normally, I am a user who doesn't use cc at all (mostly because I find some of the clipping issues and non/snap issues and the flat colors a deal breaker (this is possibly why it took me so long to find cc I liked)) but I use a LOT of mods. I have a folder in my mods called "Essentials". It has MCCC, a dozen Little Ms Sam mods, a Keep Tablets in Inventory mod, and a run faster to class mod for University. Then I have another folder called "Little Ms Sam Extras"... which has about three dozen of her amazing mods. Then there is UI Cheats, TMex Tool, and a couple random University mods. I will pull these mods in and out of my mods folder depending on how much my game is acting up. However, today... I reallllly wanted more mods. I did NOT have enough (I think I counted about 60 different little mods and a few big ones). So I went mod shopping. Oh I found wonderful things. I installed Zerbu's Go To School mod, a cute little mystery party mod, a genie mod, a fairy mod, ninja poses, Kawaii Stacie's Slice of Life, and a whole bunch of other things. Now did I break my game? Yes. Yes I did. Did I continue trying to play? Yes. Yes I did. (After removing Zerbu's mod it worked a lil better. I should have gotten rid of the genie mod too, but I wanted to play with it.) I pulled in all the kids from my favorite households in a save, aged them up with MCCC (bc birthday cakes were broken...), and then I tried to get them to go to University and allllll hell broke loose. None of my sims made it to University. The mermaid drowned. The two sims I had as genies ended up setting the house on fire and burning themselves all while their hair and clothes just floated in the air... And the other three sims died from various emotions after interacting with the aftermath of my mod explosion. One of them died of embarassment from acne... It was glorious. My day with mods and full cc was amazing but my computer fans were overworked and my game was running a lot slower than usual. It was the greatest two hours of gameplay--pure chaos. But anyways, sitting here thinking about this, I'm wondering about y'all's opinions and experiences. How many mods do you have in your game? Do you use alpha or maxis match cc? Do you always keep cc in your game? Why do you use cc? Are there mods you use temporarily and pull them out when you don't need them? What happens when mods cause chaos to descend upon your game?--Do you like the chaos? Do you try to stop it or do you encourage it? Does the chaos stress you out? Is having mods in your game worth having it run slow? Tell me everything. Stories about shenanigans are highly encouraged.1.5KViews3likes41CommentsUpdate today: Are you ready?
How are you preparing for today's update? Are you excited for it, or dreading it? I confess I'm dreading it. I have automatic updates turned off, and I might even disconnect my internet out of an abundance of caution. I will definitely be playing offline until mods are updated, and I'll probably be hanging out on Discord watching the players implode and the helpers have mini nervous breakdowns on Deaderpool's Discord. What are you doing?2.1KViews1like62CommentsFixing your gallery news
Hi there simmers. I have been wondering why I have no gallery news notifications anymore since our last update to the gallery. I just ignored it for a while and then I thought mmmm its not coming back. I googled it and it is such an easy fix. All you need to do is delete one file in your sims 4 folder and then restart your game. Delete the notify.glob file as I show below. I deleted it from my recycle bin as well just to be sure the computer does not pick it up anywhere. The game will make a new one and then your gallery news will work again ;) https://i.imgur.com/dqAsyoS.png Happy simming all <3192Views1like1CommentPostponing the patch?
Earlier today, I disabled automatic updates in Origin in an attempt to avoid the latest patch. Not because I don't want it (I do!), but I'm currently in the middle of shooting an episode for my machinima series, for which I need my mods in working order, and I can't wait until they're updated because I'm already falling behind schedule. I'd rather wait with the patch and install it later, when the episode is finished. That didn't go as planned. I just tried to launch the game again after a break, and it says I can't because there's a mandatory patch to be installed first. :disappointed: Since I've never tried to postpone a patch before, I didn't know that was going to happen. But what's the point of disabling automatic updates if it just means I have to update manually before I'm allowed to play again? And any ideas how I can get around this now?667Views1like15CommentsGame seeing sim as pregnant, but she is not
Ok, this just started this evening. I had created a sim previously and want to use her in a new game. She is not and has never been pregnant. But when I load her into CAS for the new game, the game sees her as pregnant. I've never experienced this before and it makes no difference which of my sims I try to use. I have deleted the cache file, started a whole new TS4 folder and repaired the game. But it has made no difference. Any thoughts?

Just suddenly my whole household started being mischievous to each other, and every time (which is often) they use the computer, it's to troll teh forums! Whyy? There's five teens and children and everyone levels in their mischievous skills and so their empathy goes down, I don't want that! :( I have a couple mods and cc (all up to date), but I've used them all for a little while and this just..happened now I guess. Or I just started noticing it :/ Would appreciate it if anyone who reads this has had this happened before and know why! :) Thanks <31.5KViews1like9Comments
