Halloween drop suggestions
Inspired by the Reaper's Rewards and Blast from the Past event i had some ideas for a possible halloween update/event this year that would finally bring more items for better customization for sims in general (normal and occults). CREATE A SIM: Pointy ears Fangs Miscellaneous skin colors: Pink, Orange, Purple, Yellow, Dark Red/Green, etc. Lord Lycan's hair, beard, eyebrows Snout (face painting? Skin detail?) Grim Reaper's old skin Cat/Dog ears Old witch hat Cat makeup Mermaid scales (Arms, legs, back?) Finger webs Alien antennae Extra eyes Vampire kids hair (for adults) New color swatches: BG Star Wars outfits (Like blue, pink, white, yellow, brown, etc.) Grim reaper hood/robe (I want Medieval reaper and also Red Riding Hood) Life of the party clothes (they're so cool for giving moodlets, but only 3 colors?) These outfits have a lot of potencial and the new colors would allow us to use it on new occasions other than parties and with other characters that related to Star Wars. GAMEPLAY Different interactions for ghosts to fulfill their needs; Ghosts floating when running; Custom/Undefined/Mixed occult type: A sim with all occult's items unlocked, have basic superhuman powers (strength, speed, resistance, etc.) and ability to add alternate form;

Aliens Super broken?
Okay sooooo after the most recent update for the enchanted by nature pack i cannot create or play with alien sims at all. tried to create one and the game crashed and when I started moving mods out and combing through all my cc, turning a sim into an alien out of CAS caused time to pause and i wasn’t able to click on anything that wasn’t a drop down menu. it’s definitely not my CC as i’ve completely removed that and put it back in. i’ve reinstalled the game and uninstalled it and at this point im starting to accept this might be an EA issue. ive also tried deleting localthumbcache.package and repairing the game and that’s done nothing :( just wondering if anyone else has had this issue or if there’s some kind of cache files i can delete
Sims wearing Hats and Underwear when Nude
7/17/2025 -- "Idea" updated with new information. This is a continuation of every Bug Report here on EA Forums and back on Answers HQ concerning the bugged out underwear appearing on sims when they're supposed to be nude. This has been broken since Update 10/22/2024, and now it's worse after Update 7/10/2025. I did more troubleshooting. See below the embedded image. I haven't done all the troubleshooting for this new development that I'd like to yet , but if your Sim's outfits include a hat, then a hat will be present on your Nude/Bathing Outfit. My "Everyday Outfit 0" has a hat. It's the BASE GAME "N7" beanie. None of my other outfits in any category has a hat. If I "Change into Nude" while wearing any outfit, my Nude/Bathing Outfit now includes my hat from "Everyday Outfit 0" (along with the "default" underwear). THIS IS NOT A CUSTOM CONTENT ISSUE. This problem is in the PYTHON files squirreled away in our INSTALL FOLDER. Something concerning "Outfit Generation" was changed in Update 10/22/2024 and it blacklisted the "NudeParts" from being used for the Nude/Bathing Outfit. This is why we've been seeing underwear on our Nude/Bathing Outfits. Furthermore, the change also causes our Nude/Bathing Outfit to regenerate itself every time we manually change outfits or the game automatically changes our outfit e.g. going for a jog, a swim, to work, etc., so even if we were able to "reset" our Nude/Bathing Outfit with a mod such as Lynire/LMS' "Reset Bathing Outfit", it just breaks again the next time our outfit changes. Now, Update 7/10/2025 has made this issue even worse by somehow managing to whitelist hats for the Nude/Bathing Outfit, despite the hats not having the "Nude" Outfit TAG! What's next? All other accessories, perhaps? How much worse is this going to get before someone "notices there's a problem"? We're approaching NINE (9) MONTHS of this being unresolved. It reminds me of the SEVEN (7) MONTHS we had to wait for an official fix for our broken spines, despite me fixing it in SEVEN (7) DAYS and sharing the solution on Answers HQ. BUT HAY! NEW FAIRIES EXPANSION, AM I RIGHT?! -HEAVY SIGH- ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ─ ⋆ P.S. That orange blob is the bugged out underwear. My Sim is Male with Feminine Frame, so I get the "Salmon" Masculine Frame variant of the "Salmon" Feminine Frame underwear. MOAR TROUBLESHOOTING: A "Headwear" item will only appear on the "Nude/Bathing Outfit" if it is part of "Everyday Outfit 0". It doesn't matter if any other outfit has a hat or if you "Change Into Nude" while wearing one of those other outfits. So, the workaround is do not wear any "Headwear" items on "Everyday Outfit 0". "Resetting" your "Nude/Bathing Outfit" with Lynire/LMS' "Reset Bathing Outfit" or my "XMODTko" can remove the "Headwear" item, but the "Headwear" item must first be removed from "Everyday Outfit 0". ALSO: The changes made to CAS in Update 7/1 /2025 were not implemented properly. "Head Decorations" is not a proper CAS category. None of the new "Head Decoration" items are configured properly. Changing their category to "Hats" with the "Head Decoration" sub-type and fixing the other blunders fixes the items in CAS. CAS has been in a broken state since Update 2/25/2025. "Accessories" and "Makeup" for both FACE and BODY do not function properly, and something is wonky with "Tops", "Bottoms", and "Full Body".
Main Menu has www when no household is selected
I don't know how to describe it other than getting a bunch of W's on the home page and in CAS. Here's a photo of it on the home screen, but I don't have any CAS photos since it sort of quickly flashes. This also isn't who I'm playing as currently, so I'm not sure if this is what pops up when you don't have a family or what? Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title to better
Fantasy/Sci-Fi/etc. Themed Packs
With EbN most of the supernatural Life States are in Sims 4. I would of course like more but a general satisfaction that if you have RoM/V/W/EbN you finally almost have the equivalent to Sims 3 Supernatural. Sims 3 Supernatural (my first Sims 3 pack) is what got me hooked on buying all Sims 3 packs and almost the entire Sims 3 store—so that is why I mention it. But because I am a fantasy/sci-fi based player, non-fantasy/sci-fi packs and packs that do not compliment fantasy/sci-fi type themes don't interest me much—so that means there are more packs I rather skip/not buy than buy (but I am also aware many players feel the opposite too). At least that is what I found in Sims 4, it is easier to skip packs in Sims 4 than Sims 3. Also funny enough, I had no interest in the Journey to Batuu (I mean I probably would like the CAS and Build by the rest of the pack I have zero interest), just the Star Wars universe doesn't really have a place in my Sim worlds (but I might buy it (on sale), if they add a Dystopian EP/GP). With this, new packs are really going to have to impress me to buy, otherwise I need hard convincing just to buy packs when they are on sale. So here are some idea for packs that might interest fantasy/sci-fi/themed game style players and may or may not interest non-fantasy/non-sci-fi/non-themed game style players. Steampunk, bring back inventing that is more tinkerer/eccentric based that can work for past, modern and (dystopian) future themed players. I loved using both Ambitions/WA and the steampunk store packs (including Midnight Hollow) to create a sort of industrial steampunk themed game. This could probably be a GP but you'd wow me if you did a EP. Medieval, also a fan of Dragon Valley and baby dragons. I think many players would love to be technology free (no cell phones/computers/TVs/etc.) especially for a non-ECO off the grid challenge. I'd suggest an EP, make it so you can play past/modern tech (or lack of tech). Underground and/or Underwater Biodome, my fav Sims 2 lot was a the Biodome, I still want to see that again revised. But for a fallout or future playstyle this would be so cool. Or even ocean exploration themed. Space Station/Spaceship, or some Future World. I loved Into the Future and Oasis landing! I miss nanites and the regular or dystopian versions of the future world. Whimsical, I loved the Looking Glass/Wonderland store items, I sort of used Midnight Hollow and utopian future to play an Alice in Wonderland theme game. I'd love a tea party table (I loved the store tea set table). This could be a GP or very least a SP (similar to how Paranormal works) but please not a Kit (it wouldn't be enough to work with). The idea of oversized items, from being shrunk (misses oversized flowers). How to make this work for non-fantasy themed players, theme park lots/capability for themed lots, to keep fantasy Sims in certain worlds/lots similar to werewolves staying in their world. Adventure Worlds, aka Al Simhara, Shang Simla and Champs Les Sims, JA is nice but I really loved these worlds too. This is themed but not fantasy/sci-fi so more people should be able to enjoy.
Black Sims (Lost texture after Patch 1.116.223/1.25)
My game is fully updated including the patch on July 10, 2025 and 2 of my Sims are "blackout". There some CC hair and clothing in my game, but neither of these are wearing any. All other Sims appear as they should. These 2 are households in Willow Creek. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title to better reflect the issue Edit by crinrict Please ONLY use this thread if your Sims went black with Patch 1.116.223 and were fine before this patch. The fix was NOT retroactive and all pets/Sims/werewolves that were already black will not be revert. All posts that don't fit the criteria will be moved out. It's important for EA to know what's still going on.

My Sim was turned into a fairy through the Mother Nature Path. After he received his wings, I clicked on the button to go into CAS to edit his wings. However, no matter which pre-made wing color option I choose, his wings don't actually change color. They stay black regardless. I've tried doing CAS Full Edit Mode, and still the problem persists. There's no CC on this Sim at all. His husband, who also turned into a fairy via the same path, has wings that can change colors. I can choose any of the pre-made wing color options for his husband, and his wings will turn that color.
