Some of you may recall I started the Sim Gurus On Twitter thread in 2018 and passed the torch to Duvelina in 2020. She has informed me that she hasn't been including tweets from the official The Sims Twitter (X) so I thought I'd start a thread for info from The Sims. Twitter (X), Facebook, and Instagram. Also info from EA when it relates to TS4. If you're interested you can also check out my announcement threads for The Sims Freeplay.

I am curious to do something I haven't done before and start a new save with a single female sim who lives in Chestnut Ridge with a horse, cows, chickens, cats, and dogs....all the animals the game offers. Has anyone done this? Am I crazy? haha. Sounds like a challenge but I feel sim days just go by too fast to have them care for all the animals and still have a life and time to find a cowboy husband. :)117Views6likes10CommentsAlien Abduction + Pregnancy Question
My male Sim has been abducted three times so far but no pregnancy yet. Is there any way to force it? I've just been fast-forwarding through days with the satellite turned on to Contact Aliens as he stands outside waiting. I saved right when he first started getting abducted last time and have reset a few times hoping that he'd return pregnant but not yet. Any advice is appreciated here!1.1KViews1like7CommentsSims4 Random Thoughts thread 2.0
Old version was locked some time ago, so here we have a new one. From old thread: A thread for those occasions when we want to comment on something game related or ask a question without having to start a new thread. Or those comments and questions that don't really fit into an existing thread.4.2KViews12likes229CommentsRole sims in new pack
Which households have sims that are in specific roles? I know the dude is the camp leader or councillor (I forget what it's called). I know if you play these houses they get removed from the role, so I just wanted to check which households I shouldn't touch532Views0likes6Comments[Discussion] Trait Combinations, Lifestyles & Item/Object Pairing Investigation
Every once in a while I see on the EA forums or Reddit there is a Trait Combinations thread. May it be what is your favourite, what is the most chaotic and what is the best. But most of the times I see one of a few things end up being the conclusion, 1: is that traits play no real part or no real difference in the game, 2: people choose randomized and stick with it, or 3: they opt out of the most detested traits. As I have only been playing Sims 4 since L&D aka earlier this year, I haven't really had a chance to have these conversations and I just look up old zombie threads most of which do not have much on the new traits. So I propose a small community collaboration project reporting findings on certain trait combinations with or without Lifestyle or item/object support. Anyone can report findings! To make this easier to report/review let's use a response format: Traits: <list traits used here, feel free to include occult type, reward, aspiration, etc. traits> Lifestyles/Ideals: <if used, by cheats or earning properly> Items/Objects: <list of items on Sim or objects place for Sim to help encourage trait synergy> Plan: <what you think or hope will happen> Results: <what actually happened> Rating: <out of 10 how did the combination fair?> Conclusion: <Any additional thoughts>1.4KViews6likes15CommentsPatch March 17 (Update March 23)
