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

Lovestruck: How Broken Is It?
The Lovestruck EP has been out for a little while now, so it's a good time to do a good ol' round-up of the features and bug reports and find out how broken it is! The most serious bugs I know of so far (that more than 10 people have reported) 1. Both played and unplayed sims can suddenly die of a broken heart without ever having had their heart broken https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/LS-Sim-who-has-never-been-heartbroken-died-of-broken-heart/m-p/13913181 2. Romantic relationships decline too fast, like while the partners are separated so that one can go to work for the day https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Romantic-Relationships-decay-become-negative-fast-with-no/m-p/13909651 3. Sims reset when trying to do romantic interactions- the interaction fails and a LastException is generated https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/LS-LE-Reset-when-trying-to-do-romantic-interactions/td-p/13928215 4. Dates fail to start or have blank UI menus, essentially breaking dates https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-LS-Create-a-date-UI-menu-blank/m-p/13905065 https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-LS-Infinite-Loading-Screen-After-Planning-Date/m-p/13896504 5. Cupid's Corner doesn't successfully gather sims from the gallery, or something is glitchy with the age or gender or voice or CAS editing on the sim generated https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-SAVE-LS-Cupid-Corner-Matches-Spawn-with-Different-Age-amp/m-p/13912587 https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/LS-Cupid-s-Corner-matches-will-not-load/m-p/13937458 https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-LS-No-gallery-Sims-on-Cupid-s-Corner/td-p/1390930 https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-LS-Matched-sim-won-t-change-after-CAS-edit/m-p/13906652 https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-LS-Gallery-Sims-from-Cupid-s-Corner-have-high-pitched/m-p/13905016 https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/LS-Cupids-Corner-matches-do-not-honor-sexual-preference/m-p/13904059 I don't much care about Cupid's Corner, because I am a romantic Gen X lady who prefers to pretend that online dating doesn't exist, but I plan to wait to buy the pack until the other four bugs are fixed. Unfortunately the Save Code Error 0 bug is back, which prevents people from saving their games. Unfortunately, it affects people who just have the basegame patch, not only people who bought Lovestruck. Using "Save As" helps some people, clearing out played sims' inventories of crystals and metals and elements helps some people. https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-PC-MAC-Save-Error-0-Patch-1-86-166/td-p/11414169 https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/XB-PS-Error-Code-0/m-p/13909384 Does anyone else have feedback to share? (If you have another bug to report, or you also have bugs I mentioned, please do me-too or report on AHQ!)

What to buy next
I'm thinking about buying one of these Expansion packs for my birthday, but I can't decide which one to get. I'm not interested in Life & Death (I find the topic too morbid) So, my choices are Horse Ranch, Lovestruck or For Rent. Which one would you say is worth buying?

No more sales on packs?
Sul Sul, I recently started playing about a half a year ago and would always get offered discounted packs or kits. I play on the PS4. Expansion packs would go 50% off and I think its the kit packs that would go like 10% off? I have so many more packs I want to buy just $40 for each pack is a little out of my budget:( Any help would be awesome. Thank you 😀

Old Style Pre-Rebrand Expansion Pack DVD Covers
I wanted to make my own compiled list of the marketing assets for The Sims 4 expansion packs for quite a while as more and more packs are coming out, so here it is. There are logos, icons, CD covers, DVD covers, and textless DVD covers for most expansion packs after the rebrand as well as scans (although rather poor quality) from before the rebrand! I also have a mod that makes all the icons revert to the old style that also match the DVD covers here. Click on the images to go to the actual image file to get the highest-quality version, as the forums now compress images. CD covers are made on in a size to be printed on A4 format paper. DVD covers need to be set to 100 scale to be accurately sized. Use Photo Quality options when printing for best results on photo paper.

Will you purchase EP17 Life & Death ?
Hi Will you purchase EP17 Life & Death ? Life or Death ? Make your choice ❌ Life : "No way, my sim prefer to live forever !" ✔️ Death : "Of course and even after." ❔ I don't know : "Can my sim flirt with Grim Reaper ?"

WORKAROUND - Grim not showing up when summoned
I am using Windows 10 still because some of my programs that make my computer more accessible to me are 32-bit programs. The file locations may be/look different than Windows 11. The principles are still the same. Read This First: Make sure you only click folders and files that appear underneath This PC. These are the folders and files that are actually on your hard drive(s) and not in The Cloud. Back up your current user folder - To do this, follow these steps: Launch File Explorer - When you start it, you will most likely see your Quick Access folders first, don't click on any of those. The reason for this is: if you have Microsoft OneDrive, the Quick Access folders are usually tied to OneDrive. Again, make sure you are navigating to folders under This PC. You can navigate through your files in the left side panel or click on them on the right side of the screen. Double-click on the Documents folder. Double-click Electronic Arts folder. Highlight the Sims 4 folder but don't double-click it. Right click and go to Rename - Rename your Sims 4 folder to Sims 4 Backup Copy this folder (Ctrl-C) and Paste it (Ctrl-V) a place you can find it if you need it - I usually put mine on the Desktop. Once it is somewhere you can easily find it if you need it, follow the next step . You can now delete the Sims 4 Backup folder that is still in the Electronic Arts folder because you have a copy on the desktop. Now your Electronic Arts folder should now be empty. Don't panic. Launch the EA App and hover over The Sims 4 (You may or may not have other games in the left side panel) Click the blue Play Button. This will start the game. Because you deleted your Sims 4 folder, the game will run as if it were running for the very first time. Technically, you are running it for the very first time! ALL of your settings, saved games and mods are removed. For example, I play my game with no music on. If I follow these steps correctly, I will hear music. Exit the game immediately! DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ON THE MAIN MENU OTHER THAN EXIT GAME. Launch File Explorer again. Make sure that you are navigating through files and folders under the This PC as before Double-click on the Documents folder. Double-click Electronic Arts folder. You should now see your Sims 4 folder. Double-click it. Delete localthumbcache.package and avatarcache.package files. You may be tempted to go into the backup folder you made before to put back your Saved Games and Mods - DO NOT DO THIS! There are too many mods that will cause the event not to work properly. You will need fresh saves (one every week - I named mine Gim Event 1 and I will name next week's save Gim event 2, and so on) to complete the Grim Reaper Event. I know this seems harsh - and it is, but it's a workaround so we're all kind of screwed by it if we want the event to work properly and get all of the items. Run the game again in the EA App with the blue Play button as before. Adjust your settings the way you like them - DO NOT ENABLE MODS Start a new save Make 2 YA Sims ONLY - Occult Sims are OK, but no pets, infants, toddlers or children. (or get them off the Gallery) - One you want to play with and one you will kill to have Grim show up at the house! Enable Cheats - Press Ctrl-Shift-C and type: testingcheats true then press Ctrl-Shift-C again to close the cheats window. I also strongly recommend turning autonomy off for the Event tasks. That way you can direct them to do Event tasks and they're not getting glasses of water every 5 seconds - because you won't have mods to stop Sims from getting water or putting plates on top of half walls. DO NOT PAUSE OR SAVE YOUR GAME UNTIL THE EVENT TASKS APPEAR - THIS WILL BREAK THE EVENT. Try to do the tasks in order. It's much easier and there is less chance of something going wrong. When you get to the Summon Grim Task - Buy the Grimophone and click Summon Grim Reaper. You must do this even though there are reports of Grim not showing up at all. As it is an event task, and you must do it to do the next event task. The next task after that will be: Meet or Socialize with the Grim Reaper. This is why you have another Sim (to kill.) Switch control to your "Sacrificial Sim" - If you forget to switch control to your other sim, the next step will kill your main sim. I found out the hard way the first time I did this! Make the Second Sim sit down. Shift-Click on that Sim and select Kill... Your only option will be to kill that Sim by an (Invisible) Rabbit Attack. Click that. Now Grim has no choice but to show up : ) YAY! Pause the Game so Grim doesn't disappear. Shift-Click on Grim, Click Add to Household. Grim's face should now appear on the bottom next to your main sim. Click on him as you normally would to meet or socialize with him, I clicked Ask about Day. That Event Task should now complete. After that, you can remove Grim from your household unless you want him to stay but he might be needed for other tasks during the event so I would remove him. That's as far as I got. I then paused my game and wrote everyone this guide! If you have Questions or issues, don't hesitate to reach out to me.
