Lot Challenges/Lot Traits - How do you use yours?
So I'm currently setting up for a BACC style save to force myself to actually build up the worlds for once. I decided to assign 2 lot challenges to each lot, on a world-by-world basis. So far my plan is: Willow Creek - Spooky/Cursed (based on New Orleans hauntings/voodoo) Oasis Springs - Filthy/? (I figure all that sand/dust will get everywhere. Not sure what else to pick here, though) Newcrest - Reduce & Recycle/Simple Living (this neighbourhood has fishing ponds/grills/edible plants and is a new development area so would likely encourage eco living) Sulani - Volcanic Activity/OTG (they would have to make own power locally and the volcano could shoot lava bombs further than that one lot) Forgotten Hollow - Spooky/Creepy Crawlies (it needs ghosts and bats & bugs seem appropriate with Vamps and Mosquito Traps) Del Sol Valley - Quake Zone/Reduce & Recycle (Based on San Andreas fault and hippy California) StrangerVille - Filthy/Gremlins (dust everywhere and vines/strange weather breaking plumbing/electronics) Henford-on-Bagley - Wild Foxes/Simple Living (might change Wild Foxes to something else in the town, though) Any other ideas? I might also adjust per zone in towns where the zones vary a lot from each other, such as in San Myshuno and Windenburg. If you manually pick them... Do you guys pick lot challenges/traits this way? Do you base it on whatever you build/the sims that live there? If you randomise... Do you use the one off randomiser in the UI? Do you randomise periodically either manually or with MCCCs function?
Your Sims In 2024
https://i.imgur.com/9kQygp4.png Do you have any specific plans as we head into the new year? Goals you want to achieve? Challenges you'd like to try? Finish that legacy challenge? Become a more accomplished builder or build your first lot? Throw that first wedding? Play an occult for the first time? Try a trait, aspiration, career you've never tried before? Or are your plans just to have fun? :)
Is it just me?
But when I feel like a Sims game has lost its challenge anymore I have to start a new game? I like to start my sims with nothing except like... a hole in the ground and a cot, with a bush for a bathroom. But somehow they all creep up to getting like 500k simoleons and then it's not fun anymore.
My Sims 4 articles
Hi all, I've been writing articles about the Sims 4 lately, and I wanted to share them here. I've written about: The best Sims 4 challenges and what's great about each one. The best packs, according to player and critic ratings, along with their features. Which resolution to play at, which tends to get left out when we talk about graphics settings. I've also written two articles about mods: one general list of recommendations, and one list of recs for family gameplay. I can't link them directly here, since they reference a couple against-the-rules mods, but I'm happy to share my recommendations if anyone's interested. (A note to the mods: These articles are not paywalled, and I don't earn money from clicks or ad revenue. So this should comply with the no-advertising rule.)
A Played ghost is haunting other residentials?
Just a quick question, I have a playable ghost that is showing up in the home I am currently playing that has the spooky lot challenge. Is this a feature or a bug? I thought playable ghosts were immune to this kind of haunting? This particular ghost has a job and will soon marry again to her former husband.
