The Sims 4: Life & Death - Official Screenshot Thread!
A spooky Sul Sul to you all! It's nearly time to embrace the darker side of The Sims 4 and explore all that Ravenwood has to offer in the latest Expansion Pack for The Sims 4: Life & Death. So let us bust out our best brooms and evening scare and have a boo-last together! Show me what you got! Puns that almost replaced "Boo-last": You know why mummies don't play The Sims? Because they're afraid to relax and unwind! 🙃 Seriously, why didn't we name Bonehilda the grim sweeper?
What happened in your game today?
Hi everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the new forum so far. I know I am!! I'm Charla, a big fan of The Sims 4! ☺️ I was going to join on the old one, but, as it only had a week left I decided to wait until today. I loved lurking on the what happened in your game today thread so I thought would create a new one here. So what's happened in your game today? Today in my game I was playing as a character I created, Lauren Lord. She's an young adult, who dreams of being an author and a mom. Currently she's working as a school teacher, but today she had no work, she stayed at home and played chess and tended to her plants (when it wasn't raining!). I also made this new Sim :) hope the pic works! Look forward to seeing what's happening in your games. X
Life and Death Expansion Not available
I preordered and downloaded the new Life and Death Expansion pack and the game doesn't acknowledge that I've downloaded the pack. I've done the repair thing in the EA app and still nothing. I'm not running mods right now because I know that's always the first thing to check.
Bought Life and Death with wrong account! Need Refund.
So I've been playing on Pogo.com for over 20 years, so when EA bought it, they so kindly auto-created a 2nd account. I don't know how I contacted them, but years ago I found out (likely thru Pogo.com) that they cannot merge the 2 accounts. I am always logged in to the Pogo account as I play Mahjong every day there. I accidentally bought Life & Death through that account. For the life of me I cannot figure out how to get a refund for it. I just bought Life and Death AGAIN on the correct account but I would like a refund for the original pre-purchase on my other account. An easy mistake to make! I just can't imagine this being an issue but if it is I'm going to lose my mind over it. It was never my intention to have 2 accounts, THEY created the 2nd one without my even knowing about it when they bought Pogo.com. Yes, I've seen their "request refund" page but it tells me that it's not applicable or nothing is valid for a refund request. I've spent hours reading their not-helpful help.ea.com articles, searches on the forums here, through search engines, and haven't found a single thing to help me with this. Suggestions? I'd really like to reach an actual, real, live person. Or via email if possible. The "Chat with Us" feature doesn't show up for me. I only get the BETA chat, which is a AI that feeds you back at the help.ea.com site. It's VERY annoying and not helpful at all.
A Did You Know thread on Life & Death
Hi! I'll be starting this thread this time due to one not being made for 2 days. Find anything interesting on the Internet or while playing the game? Share here! I do not have TwitterX, but I can start this off with this: Here are some cheats to use in-game: Also, did you know that: Macabre sims have a different pose in the family portrait and Fine portrait? You can hire a Inheritance Lawyer to your home to make a Will? You can shorten sims' lifespan with the Devourer ability? Baleful Bog's codename is RiverStyx? Ghosts have special outfits available in CAS under full body outfit category? Some of the tarot card imagery references The Sims Medieval? Feel free to share yours here too!
It Happened One Day in Ravenwood ...
Two nifty occurrences happened in my L&D world today ... First, I was finally able to complete the final Reaper's Rewards task. Yeah me and my Ophelia Specter sim. (I usually only play sims that I've created from scratch, while letting all the MAXIS premade ones be 'townies', but she was too perfect for me to pass up playing her.) And, second ... Not only have aliens discovered Crows Crossing, but they kidnapped Ophelia as well. From her backyard. I'm really hoping she doesn't get pregnant from this, as she is so not ready to be a parent yet. Heck, she's not even romantically inclined at this point. Plus, her place is way too small to accommodate a child. (I mean, what would she do with her Undead Cowplant, CowBelle? Right?!) So, what kind of fun stuff has been happening with your sims in your Ravenwood world?
Game keeps crashing since downloading Life and Death Expansion Pack
Ever since downloading the Life and Death Expansion Pack my game has been crashing for no reason. After around a minute of booting the game up it crashes if it is on a loading screen or the main menu and freezes if I actually get into the game. If I get into the game I can still hear the music and the sounds of the buttons clicking (such as like the fast forward button or the play button) but the play screen is frozen and I can't select the exit button. I thought it was because of maybe an update on release day but I just updated the game again and the crashing continues. I could play the game with the update just before Life and Death was released but ever since it has not worked. I have tried booting the game without Life and Death by setting the launch options to "-disablepacks:EP17" and it still did not work. I have also tried the deletion of typical problematic files in my "Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 4" directory and that still did not work. Is this something I can fix?
the new pack “Life and Death” does not appear in the game
I pre-ordered the new pack and then downloaded it. My EA app shows that I own the pack. I can also see it on my Mac with the other packs in the folder. However, the new world does not appear in my game. However, I get the notifications from the festivals in Ravenwood and have the new objects in build mode (but without the little symbol of which pack they are). I also can't have my Sims create a bucket list on the computer and carry out the soul journey. I have already uninstalled and reinstalled everything. I have also written to EA support several times, but they couldn't help me.... I'm honestly very frustrated at the moment.
