Q&A: Royalty & Legacy
#AD (just in case this counts as social media) I was invited to join the CFE (not final build) opportunity for The Sims 4: Royalty & Legacy. 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/Collections/Lore - and anything else you guys want to know about! I did test with ALL PACKS in as I believe this is yet another pack with cross-compatibility possibilities related to the various systems. (Please Note: Testing with other packs in is unsupported before regular Early Access, so may be extra buggy.) Testing was/will continue to be done on a mix of fresh CAS Sims and premades, to see lore and experience different levels if they are present. 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 continuing to take notes/screenshots and will post info when I can. P.S. - I have a Creator Code, so if you find my Q&A useful you might consider it as an option at checkout. Using my code gives me a small commission (5% regularly, 7% during sales) and can even save you a little bit of money on TS4 DLC during sales (normally 5%). My code is EmmaVane. Just enter the code on the the payment screen where Promo Codes normally go. Thank you, EA for this opportunity.

Correct Sims translations in Dutch
Hi! Now that we have had the recent update introducing ancestors, and the overhaul of family trees connecting Sims with each other, I was wondering if we could have an update on the following Sim and their (wrong) translations for the Dutch version of the game: Cassandra Goth, currently Cassandra Van de Kerkhof --> should be Alexandra van de Kerkhof (technically for all the Goth family members their last name should contain a lower case v, but that I can live with) Prudence Crumplebottom, currently Prudence Rimpelbil --> should be Prudentia Rimpelbil Don Lothario, should be Stefano Bigoli Dirk Dreamer, should be Dirk Dromer Dustin Broke, should be Douwe Blut Olive Specter, should be Olijfje Siebrand Nyon Specter, currently Nervous Specter, should be Nerveus Siebrand, or Nyon Siebrand if following the new name lore. Eetion Thebe --> Etienne van der Maassen Cordelia Capp --> Camilla van der Smacht (jr) Rodrigo Thebe --> Rodrigo van der Maassen Arnessa Thebe --> Arnessa van der Maasen For some of these I've been asking for years to have them corrected, so it would be great if it could finally happen now thanks to the new update! I think these are all, all the other ones are correctly translated I believe. Thanks so much!

Fixing Weird Body Presets
Hi, my name is Ash and I had a sim that I was giving a makeover to. I put her in a custom body preset, and I wasnt the biggest fan of it. I attempted to change the preset, but her body keeps getting weirder and weirder, and I dont know how to fix this. The sim below wasn't originally made by me, and I've tried clicking on EA presets to "reset" her, but it just keeps distorting even more. Note that I'm aware that many people play with these types of body presets, but this not something I personally gravitate towards, which is why I would hope to find a solution. :)

Businesses & Hobbies Frustrations
Hi Sims 4 fans! I was super excited for businesses and hobbies but so far the UI has felt pretty limiting to me. I studied sustainability and urban planning that I incorporate in my builds a lot and mixed use spaces are really important. I got this pack mostly to make apartments and townhouses with first floor retail but the pack seems to not allow residential rentals and retail on the same lot (a real shame after spending ages building one). After a lot of research I figured out how to sort of do this with LittleMsSam's Live in Business mod but its pretty frustrating spending the money on the pack for the small business when I need a mod I could've gotten instead to use it how I want. Does anyone know any work around for this? If not for any developers checking on this I would love for this to be fixed. Additionally, now that I've had to give up on the rental stuff a bit, I renovated the Henford On Bagley bar to be owned and run by one family who lives upstairs. Once again I spent a lot of time on this only to finally play it and none of the customers order any bar drinks and just mess around in there making me once again consider just using the mod. Has anyone found a fix for this? I just want to do a simple classic pub with no entrance fee. Thank you so much for any tips or help! Always rough when the packs are getting so expensive and mods work better.
