Playing on the same Save with a Friend
So me and a friend wanted to play Sims with the same save like back then but this time we share my EA Account to play (I have more DLCs). How do we do it? because last time we only needed to copy and paste the save files and now that didnt work. Are there differences or other methods we need to use if we share the same account? We already tried copy and pasting the saves + tray folder but still nothing. Can someone help?
Fabricator Recycler Bug?? Help!
I have no idea what I am looking for. I shared my "last Exception" to a bot only chat-support on Discord and usually when I request help there are clear instructions as to how to find the items/mods that are broken/missing/outdated. I use A LOT of mods. The game goes to household, but then sends me right back to the main screen. I was given a very general description and no idea how to find the "item" causing issue (Fabricator Or Recycler objects from Eco lifestyle pack). I've attached a screenshot of the support answer. Thank you in advance! Latest game version Current update completed (8-19)
What Are Your Merfolk Doing Today 2.0
Since the old thread has multiple broken links and things are different here. I decided to create a 2.0 version of the old thread I created. I thought I would create this thread as a variant of the “What happened in Your Game Today?” thread. Serial and non-serial updates are welcome. Any mermadic discoveries in the Sims are more than welcome, including discoveries while using mods. Let's give our MerSims the spotlight here! Tips for what to share: The Only Rules: Keep the updates focused on merfolk! Denizens of the sea like Cecelia, Kelpies, and other variations of ocean dwellers are welcome here.
Strangerville question
Just have a question about defeating the mother plant in Strangerville, I would like know where do I find Sims that my sim has asked to join to defeat the mother plant? There is no place on the relationship list. Does anyone have suggestions that would be helpful to defeat the Mother Plant?
[Lifestyle] "Hungry for Love" an Explanation
This lifestyle has frustrated many people trying to get it or keep it. It has been posted several times about not working, being broken or needing to be overhauled. In my game my one Sim could sometimes maintain it and sometimes not (and no matter how much they seemed to do romantic interactions) but I always seemed to have to cheat add it to start with. So I decided to look at the internal files and figure out what the heck is going on. I am an amateur modder, but I tend to be able to figure out tuning files (once I get use to a games files). Let's talk about The Romance Lifestyles, just like many other lifestyles there is polar opposites: Single and Lovin' It, is basically a very slowly earned by default lifestyle; earned simply by not being in a relationship, and otherwise is only—by chance—can be stalled by reading romance novels or watching romantic tv. You might earn this, even if you don't want to—eventually—as long as you aren't capped for lifestyles. If you don't want this lifestyle, you only need to be in a relationship—plain and simple. Hungry for Love, from what I can see... romantic interaction don't seem to play much or any part of it at all. What people are probably getting confused or frustrated about is how you earn this lifestyle. Chance! from what I see the only way to get this lifestyle is a success in chance from 3 different actions. 2 are from just reading romance novels/watching romantic tv, which if you trigger successfully (once or twice) daily you'll gain this lifestyle fast enough and maintain. The other way to get a chance is a passively if/when you wake up, and are in a romantic relationship (less sleep with traits/potions/coffee/etc. hurt this). Autonomy is probably not going to help you, if your Sim doesn't have the Romantic trait and autonomously reads/watches romantic media (and in some cases, some people play households without TVs making it even harder)—this lifestyle is a lot of work. Let's talk about The Friend Lifestyles: Now compare to Close-Knit and People Person, these are easy enough to get one or the other (or change if you really want to). It is a simple set up of 1-3 friends = Close-Knit, and 4+ you get People Person. Not exactly much depth (and the amounts aren't great) but easy enough, and again these are other default earning lifestyles—that you will eventually earn. Only way to avoid is 0 friends or are capped for lifestyles. Conclusion: it isn't broken...?—it just wasn't set up great. What is misleading was the romantic interactions counting towards the lifestyle, and may only be used for unlocking purposes. But enough of it works, so that is probably why all posts complaining have been pretty much ignored? IMO, yes, it should be tweaked to overhauled. I have been working with the tuning files to make this lifestyle better and testing like crazy, because as-is, leaves much to be desired XDAnnoying Gnomes from Enchanted by Nature
I have the new expansion pack for fairies and I’m aware that gnomes were a big part of the marketing for some reason. I’m currently playing in San Myshuno in a family that has nothing fairy related going on, yet these stupid gnomes keep appearing in my home. Sometimes they clean, other times they break everything in my house. I’m aware that in the game options there’s a way to turn off things like dust bunnies and whatnot but why doesn’t an option exist to turn off these dumb gnomes? If I’m missing something, someone please enlighten me because I’m so sick of having to call the repair service every time these gnomes appear. I’ve been dragging and selling them when they show up but not before they break everything. It’s honestly just a really annoying feature. I can understand them showing up in Innisgreen, but in any other neighborhood is just plain ridiculous. I honestly don’t even see the appeal.Frienship/Romance diminishing for no reason
Hello! I wanted to come here to talk about a problem I've been having lately with the game, my sims lose frienship point for no reason, sometimes just being in the same room or by having friendly interaction. At first I thought it was a feature of enchanted by nature, because I play a lot with the occult so I just thought "Oh my sims grew up and manifested her fairy powers so she must have difficult relationship with some people." which I already thought was weird enough because it was with a Triton she knew her all life but whatever. But now it seems to happen regularly my vampire sims cannot seem to be able to get along with Vladdy for some un explicable reason. Has that already happen to some of you, does anybody know what I can do or what is causing this? Thx ❤️✨
Ancient Greek
So I am attempting to make an ancient greek playthrough by revamping one of the existing worlds. I hav emost everything taken care of except for the outfits taht would be worn in that time period. I am looking for links and or advice to get at least a few options since I have downloaded a few from the gallery already but the outfits arent loading in so I assume i need to download the CC for them or at least something that I can use as ancient greek attire. If it helps I only have the base game and the holiday pack at the moment and cant afford anything else right now so is there a mod or something that I could download or just CC in general.
Q&A: Adventure Awaits
#AD (just in case this counts as social media) I can tell you ahead of time this time... I was invited to join the CFE (not final build) opportunity for The Sims 4: Adventure Awaits. Thank you to the EA Creator Network for this chance to answer questions for you about the pack! I will be taking and answering mainly questions about gameplay - Skills/Traits/Aspirations/Career/Venues/Systems/Lore - and anything else you guys want to know about! I will be testing with ALL PACKS in as I believe this is yet another pack with endless cross-compatibility possibilities. (Please Note: Testing with other packs in is unsupported before regular Early Access, so may be extra buggy.) I'm not a fast builder so will likely be testing things on a save full of downloaded Gallery lots. If you have any lots you want me to test flow for, either as a Custom Venue or Getaway location, then post a link to what you want tested and a description of how you envision it running. I'll play around with it and post any issues I find during testing. Format will be similar to past Q&As where I have links to each subject and add more info to each based on questions asked and as I discover things through gameplay. I can't start posting right away this time due to the embargo, but will be taking notes/screenshots and will post info when I can. P.S. - I also have a Creator Code now, so if you find my Q&A useful you might consider it as an option at checkout. This doesn't give you a discount, but it would give me a 5% commission on price of the pack. If you wish to use it, my code is EmmaVane. Just enter the code on the the payment screen where promo codes normally go. Thank you, EA for this opportunity. INDEX (to follow):
