Collecting in Sims 4
Until very recently, I was never really interested in the different collections in the game, but then I started trying to collect frogs, and then I got interested in gemology and metals, and now I'm really wanting to complete a few collections. It just seems that my sims don't find things all that often. Today I have an "Outdoor Enthusiast" exploring Granite Falls. I read that it was easy to find 10 unidentified plants with a simple walk. Uh, well, my sim has been hiking for hours and hours and hours, and he's found 3 wild plants and 1 bit of metal. He has collected a few insects along the way, but I was really hoping to complete this milestone aspiration and come up with 10 unidentified plants. I looked through the "Rewards" section to see if there were any rewards that might make it more likely for my sim to find collectibles. I didn't see anything. Are there specific traits I might change out for him that would help? Any tips on making it easier to complete collections? It's fun, but only up to a point. When I just can't seem to find anything, it gets a bit frustrating. :)
I want LS but question romance decline
Just how much does romance with Lovestruck decline in your game? I honestly play 1 game only, meaning I typically 'resume' my game. I create a new save after each update and delete the 'old' save. I have always played this way. I am CC/MOD free. I play with aging off and sometimes will play 1 family for many sim years. So... just how much do I have to care about the romance levels using Lovestruck? Thank you in advance for your input!
Which EP's, GP's and SP's would you...
...Remove from your game if you had to, and why those ones? So, because my computer is neither the newest nor the best, it's been getting to the point lately that the regular The SIms 4 updates were requiring me to uninstall and remove other things from my computer, in order to stay updated. That, along with the fact that I found I wasn't crazy about some of the things added into the game with some of the EP's and GP's that I bought and had installed; made me do some serious thinking. SO, I decided to uninstall my Sims 4 game completely, then reinstall it but CHOOSE WHICH "add ons" I wanted to have in the game this time around. (I ALSO wanted to make sure I'd have room on my computer for the new "Enchanted By Nature" expansion pack coming out July 10th! I am SO excited about that one!) Here's the list of the ones I choose NOT to have downloaded/added into my game: Eco Lifestyle Expansion Pack. Get To Work Expansion Pack. High School Years Expansion Pack. Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack. Star Wars: Journey To Batuu Game Pack. Lovestruck Expansion Pack. Snowy Escape Expansion Pack. StrangerVille (I think this one was a Game Pack?). My Wedding Stories Game Pack, For Rent Expansion Pack. Cats & Dogs Expansion Pack. Discover University Expansion Pack. The list of the EP's, GP's, SP's and kits I chose to have downloaded/added back into my game again, is simply TOO long for me to list. Suffice it to say I own all the EP'S, most of the GP'S and several of the SP'S as well as some kits! LOL! I find that I am NOT MISSING the packs of all types that I first listed, as choosing not to have them added back into my game. But I know there's some game features as well as much of the CAS and Build/Buy that I AM missing. I waver back and forth between wanting to add at least some of the ones that I chose not to have added back into my game again, for that reason alone. But...I don't think that ultimately, I will. Maybe a few, I've not decided...SEE how I waver back and forth, gah! LOL Again! So, my very long winded post is just basically asking; If YOU had to uninstall your game and then reinstall and choose which packs and kits you wanted to add back in and which to forgo (Mostly because of lack of room on your computer but also because you found that you didn't like some things about some of those packs)...Which ones would YOU choose to not add back into your game again and why? I look forward to reading everyone's replies and maybe sparking some discussion on the topic matter!
What Packs Do You Recommend For Me?
General discussion gets very often, if not daily, some threads where simmers ask for help about what pack they should buy 😊 What is of course a great thing to ask, however, would be nice if all those asks were all at same place.😉 This thread is for this purpose, tell us your playstyle or any detail you wish, to make it easier to give you suggestions 😊 Also here something to help you with the decision : https://simscommunity.info/2024/02/26/sims-4-pack-guide/
I've missed you all!
Hi Simmers, I just thought I'd share something personal. Two years ago, I was in a coma and woke up completely paralyzed. During that time, I missed The Sims — and this community — more than I can express. I had to stop reading the forums after a few months because it was just too hard. The Sims community has always been such a big source of comfort and a creative outlet for me. Yesterday, for the first time in over two years, I was finally able to play The Sims 4 again. I actually cried during the loading screen. Like full on runny nose, headache inducing crying. LOL It was like coming home, or getting a tiny part of the old me back. My birthday is coming up next week, and I’m so incredibly happy to not have to miss out on my favorite birthday tradition again this year. I'm gonna grab a slice a cake and burn some poor sims house down LOL I’ve really missed being part of this community. I probably won’t post much since typing is still difficult and painful, but I’m so happy to be here again — even if I’m just quietly lurking in the background. 💛 Thanks for being here. cass ps, can someone give me advice on what to start saving up for? I missed 4 (ish) expansion packs and tons of kits and stuff. Recommendations please!
Must Have Kits??
Any reviews on kits welcome and any best ranking would be great, looking at getting some extras I do a fair few already, but want to add to my game. (FYI I am not opposed to kits I like their idea, it is what suits you and your gameplay, I know it costs money but I like that not every kit is suited to that person.) That being said, any must haves?! 😄
Creating a sim using real life body measurements
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'm wondering is anyone has tried using IRL body measurements to make a sim (e.g. waist size, shoulder width, etc. whenever I try to mess around with sim body proportions it always looks off. Any advice? Any idea how I could convert this? Thanks.
Compatibility & Self-Discovery Explained
Hi! This thread is a 2.0 version of these threads put together: Sim Characteristics and Social Compatibility - A Look into Tuning Files Self-Discovery - An Attempt to Understand Tuning Files Due to spoiler tag issues in this forums and how the post hierarchy system works here (and how posts can be collapsed), I've decided to make a new thread which could also look in other things. Turn-ons and turn-offs for example, even though the description of each one gives you the exact into which attracts sims. This thread contains info on the following topics: Sim Characteristics & Social Compatibility Self-Discovery system Turn-ons and Turn-offs & Attraction Grief Trait Replacements Update Log Use links to jump to desired info.

How do you get rid of your sims clone? I went to check on my elderly sims family and the daughter popped up pregnant. She mastered sorcery and made a clone. My clone is clapping it up raw with random sims. And my main sim ended up pregnant. She is a loyal sim. She DOESNT CHEAT. Now her kids have random half siblings. P.S I’m kicking the baby out of the house. Go live with your daddy!!!
