Everything that needs to be looked at.
block party scoring is not accurate, one of the rounds was to do flip trick 180s, I've done multiple and it only counted 2. earning tix is a bit hard, last season I finished almost EVERY bounty, but 1 because I was not able to complete it because the challenge i needed wasn't found anywhere around the map, but even with every other challenge done, I still didn't have enough tix to claim everything from the skate pass. I now have to use tix from this season's challenges just to finish last season skate pass which will make me fall behind on this season's pass, and i would have to do it again next season. and some of the items in the pass cost way too many tix. speed. it's hard to gain speed and maintain it, sometimes when i do a trick off a halfpipe and the try to pump to gain more speed, it doesn't work because my character is still in the trick motion. gaining speed on flat ground is also hard, for certain lines/gaps I wanna do, i can't maintain enough speed to do it, only when i do a spread eagle then jump back onto my board. sometimes when i get on my board is launches me with a random amount of speed and makes me go into the wrong direction. add a street style skate park!! like a real one, not a random one around the map. stop reusing the same skate parks for the community parks!! we were promised something new to skate every time it resets. but when it does, it goes to a new one, then back to the old one from the day before the next day. it's getting boring to be honest. Things that can be added into the game: clothing wear and tear, this would kind of be like skate 3, when your clothes get dirty after a certain amount of time. but it should be improved for things like your clothes ripping, instead of just getting dirty, this could count for your board also, the board will show visible marks the more you use it. and it can reset after a certain amount of time, just how it does when your clothes get dirty in skate 3. it can be a setting, for people who don't want it. a hall of meat setting that lets you see fractured /broken bones how you can in skate 3, and this can also just be a setting the same way it is in skate 3. it would be cool if our characters get bruises and cuts/scrapes the more we bail, the same as skate 3. edit styles for clothes, in skate 3 when you choose a hoodie/jacket, it gives the options to have your hood on, or for the jacket to be zipped or unzipped. it would be nice if we could do that to give us more styling options for our characters as well as adding in jewelry the same way as skate 3. more towards our boards, let us choose how tight/loose our trucks our for our boards, and give us different skating styles like being loose or stiff, ect. one last thing, more hair styles!! modern or old hair styles. maw hawks and liberty spikes would be so dope. as well as more color options for our hair. lastly (for now) give us to options to hold onto cars and hit pedestrians the same way you can in skate 3. thank you for reading this.
I'm sorry simmers! 💔
Simmers... I don't know what to say, but... I'm sorry! This is extremely heartbroken to me and my fellow Caribbean simmers who are part of The Sims community. Starting 2019 after the developers recently added hip-hop station to The Sims 4 back in 2018, I began manifesting Caribbean representation for The Sims 4. When I speculate the summer expansion pack of 2019, I wanted it to be centered around Caribbean cultures. But no, instead, it is now titled "Island Living" and centers around Hawaiian/Polynesian cultures and features a Hawaiian-themed island radio station. Years later after R&B came to the base game back in 2023, I started manifesting Caribbean representation again when Poolside Splash Kit was announced. In 2024, I tried again before the release of Lovestruck expansion pack. In 2025 where the celebration of The Sims' 25th anniversary and TwitchCon's 10th anniversary, I tried again and again before the release Businesses & Hobbies, Enchanted by Nature, and Adventure Awaits expansion packs, but before the release of Adventure Awaits, these simmers powerfully kept spamming "fix your game" too many times. And when Adventure Awaits was leaked before the announcement, this expansion pack was not centered around Caribbean cultures which instead centers around New Zealand culture. Ever since Caribbean cultures was lacked, I skipped TwitchCon trip. In 2026 which is the year we're currently in, Royalty & Legacy was claimed to be the last expansion pack, and then no Caribbean representation happened for this pack. As Royalty & Legacy features a West African-inspired kingdom Dambele, it features an Afrobeats station which is a West African music station rather than Caribbean. After the EPs were stopped, more bug fixes are happening until EA went private. I'm sorry to announce this to y'all simmers, but... during the final time, I decided not to continue fighting for Caribbean representation for The Sims 4. My manifestation for my vibrant island-themed wish has come to an end for me, and I also decided to skip TwitchCon trip again before the end of 2026. So if 2027 comes, will the next generation of The Sims come? RIP Caribbean representation for The Sims 4 2019-2026 💔😭Cant progress "Gift of the Grab"

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.

Help with Baby Name Ideas Based on Packs
In my pack challenge I've had quite fun with coming up with name-themes based on the pack themselves, and making sure the next generation gets appropriate names based on the pack they're "born in" if that makes sense. For BG I used the three base game worlds as inspiration: Willow, Sandy and Neo were the kids, living in Willow Creek, Oasis Springs and Newcrest respectively as adults. Next pack up was Seasons and names came easy: weather and holidays, and so Sandy named her son Sunny and Willow her daughter Christmas (if Neo had had any kids they would have been named things like Rain, Storm and Gale, but he and his husband just weren't that into the idea of kids. Probably for the best considering...) Now we're on the next gen and two packs are open. My Wedding Story for Sunny's kids (dead easy, names connected to romance, so Valentine, Love, Cherish...) and Growing Together for Christmas' kids. This is where it gets trickier. I have a hard time settling on a theme. At the moment I have three ideas for themes, family (Harmony, Unity), growth (Journey, Quest) or San Sequoia Locations (Hope, Gilbert, Marina, Harbor) - but I'm not convinced by either theme entirely. So I'm asking for help. What are good name themes for Growing Together? And for other packs? I have a few ideas for some packs: Get to Work: names connected to vocation (Baker, Tanner) Cottage Living: plant based names (Lily, Rose) Discover University: Scientists or Authors (Austen, Newton) City Living: Actual cities (London, Houston)
F1 25 crashing on launch - "Unexpected shutdown occurred" (Error 0xFFFFFFF)
Title: F1 25 crashing on launch - "Unexpected shutdown occurred" (Error 0xFFFFFFF) Hello everyone, I'm experiencing a persistent crashing issue with F1 25 and could really use some help. Every time I try to launch the game on my PC, it immediately crashes with an "unexpected shutdown occurred" message and displays the error code 0xFFFFFFF. I've already tried all the standard troubleshooting steps on my end—including verifying game files, updating drivers, reinstalling]—but nothing seems to bypass this error. Has anyone else encountered this specific hex code on startup, or does anyone have a known fix? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Trick Idea: Blunt Slides on FLAT GROUND
Devs, I recently saw BAM MARGERA do a blunt slide over a little nipple obstacle in a skatepark and I was like **bleep** we need that for sure. It was so sick because he was just riding up the hump, then as he was weightless over the top he was sliding in a blunt-style grindy kinda way. Super dope. Thanks, BONE
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 😊 Specific packs or from all the packs . 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/Large blue rectangle appearing in bottom - left cover - sim4 UI Bug
Hi EA and Sims 4 team, I am having a large blue rectangle appearing in the bottom-left corner of my Sims 4 game. It covers part of the UI and makes it difficult to use the game. I have already tried many troubleshooting steps: Removed/renamed my Mods folder and tested with no Mods or CC Deleted localthumbcache.package Repaired The Sims 4 through the EA app Reset the Sims 4 user folder and tested with a fresh folder Reset Options.ini Changed between windowed/fullscreen Lowered the graphics settings Enabled Laptop Mode Updated my Intel graphics-related drivers through Windows Update Restarted my laptop and the game The blue rectangle is still there even with a completely clean Sims 4 setup and no Mods/CC. My laptop uses Intel Graphics, and Windows reports that the graphics device is working properly. The problem appears on the Residential Worlds/world-selection screen, and the blue rectangle stays in the bottom-left corner. Could EA please investigate whether this is a Sims 4 UI/rendering bug introduced by a recent update? I can provide screenshots and any additional information needed. Thank you. ❤️
