What have you added to your Sims game recently?
I recently added Get Together, Get Famous, and Enchanted by Nature to my game I am loving the club mechanics, and getting used to the reputation system in Get Famous. As for Enchanted by Nature, I needed the fairies, to add to my vampires, werewolves, spellcasters, and improved ghosts (with Live & Death). I still have to experiment with the plant sims.
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

The game has been almost unplayable because it lags so bad & constantly crashes. Not to mention the gallery hasn’t been connecting since I got the new pack & I know my connection is strong. And as far as the new pack goes, the fairy wings constantly disappear or they just appear to be one color. Pleassse fix this stuff cause it’s literally not even fun to play right now 😭
Spellcasters and fairies: can they be friends
Spellcasters are my favourite occults and one of the first things I replied to the 'what are your plans for enchanted by nature' discussion was adding fairies to my spellcaster and werewolves club. Unfortunately the devs decided to include fairies with prejudice towards Spellcasters into the new EP. Real life prevents me to play right now despite having pre ordered the game. How bad is the situation? Is there any hope at all for a fairy and a spellcaster to be friends?
Small Business - this or that?
I'm finally upgrading my game by adding a few small businesses to most worlds, and not limited to Nordhaven. I love the fact that SB actually doubles the number of lots as long as we are willing to add several functions to each lot, and in some cases also build higher. On most community lots there can be a living household, and most residentials can provide some SB that can be visited when playing other families. My goal is to add more businesses to visit. I have plenty of households already. I want each new SB to provide reasons for active sims to visit that lot, being a shop, have fun, socialize incl. dating, and perhaps building skills or support their interests for storytelling. The lecture feature seems nice, but I suspect it might take a higher ranked business to make the teaching good, financially. I changed a few lots and I keep getting back to a few questions - this or that. I might build a small business, but after completing the build, I realize that there are too few reasons for other played sims to visit as customers. Because I play rotationally building a business takes forever, so it's more fun to focus on the visiting aspect. I'm not sure I understand the SB concept fully, so I would like to learn about other simmers' experience. #1. Charging customers When do you chose charging per hour, and when is it better with once entrance charge? I tend to prefer charging per hour, but it requires customers to stay a while. If they pay only once, it would be better for my business that customers don't stay for long, but rather allow new customers to arrive. I also use per hour for shops, because my visiting sims would not stop by to buy anything if they need to pay a bigger entrance fee just to enter the shop. But I'm obviously missing something: When would it work better to charge customers just once? #2. Build two houses or two stories? Do you normally let the owners live upstairs, or do they reside in a 2nd building on the same lot? I tend to mix the two, vertically vs horizontically, and I keep thinking it would be better to separate them better. #3. Tagging the rooms? I normally restrict access to the private rooms, only, and perhaps also to the employee rooms. But some times I just leave the general business room untagged. Is this wrong, must they be tagged for business to work propperly? The reason I leave the business rooms, is that I often include some customer activity outdoors, like a pavement serving, or a small garden/park. Should they all be built as rooms in order to be seen as part of the business? #4. Is there a way to set an object not for sale? When placing items on surfaces, they automatically get set for sale, even if the business is not a shop and buying stuiff is not a customer activity. Occasionally I want to turn off "for sale" on a specific item. Is there a way? I placed a group serving in a cake display counter, and it got set on sale, as expected. Moving this item to a dining table will not remove the "for sale". By storing the serving in a fridge instead, moving it to the table avoid the "for sale". I think dining tables are excepted, but are there other ways to avoid the "for sale"? #5. How to avoid "eat until you drop"? We know sims gauin weight quickly, so I was a bit upset noticing that serving a group meal made the one c ustomer eat again and again until the serving was empty. The fact that the cupcakes were poor quality had no effect on this. Eating food is a customer activity, but with a total of 5 different activities I was expecting less focus on just one of them. Is there a way to serve food to customers (not being charged, but helping them staying) without the same sim eating again and again? Could it be trait specific (Foodie?), that it might not happen with every customer? #6. What features gets easier when SB rank builds? I play on rotation, so it will take years to build only one customer star. What bonuses that come with higher rank do you find most useful and worth reaching for? Okay, enough for now. Pls comment on whatever quote you like, or add more even.
The Sims 4: Enchanted By Nature - Official Screenshot Thread!
Sul Sul! Gnomes, Faeries and Plantsims, oh my! We're now just days away from the launch of one of the most highly requested EPs for The Sims 4 😄 Welcome to Innisgreen! Whether you're building a cozy shire house or selecting the perfect set of wings to go with your new Gnome is where the heart is sign, we've got a little something for everyone. Gnome me what you got!
[EBN] Enchanted by Nature is the first EP I've truly regretted purchasing.
Playing with a brand new Save in a brand new The Sims 4 folder. No mods. No CC. It's a beautiful World .... but: My game has crashed 4 times in 2 days. I rarely have a game crash. I can't repair my game because "We've paused the download because you don't own this title." The Balance and Luck systems overwhelms all other gameplay. The method for monitoring Balance and Luck is buried in the Simology tab. Making it difficult to keep tabs on whilst playing. Especially when playing with multiple Sims. Balance and Luck change dramatically, suddenly and inexplicably. E.G. My Sim is fine. Needs are fine. Suddenly he's not caught a fish and his luck is bad? His Balance has plummeted? And now he has some ailment he can't afford to cure so he has to abandon all else to go off in search of a cure. And my Sim hasn't even made it to becoming a Fairy. Sheesh. Back to my regular game. Looking to relax so I open up the household of my nice elderly retired Sim. Of course she's cooking. Of course she catches on fire. Plum. Bad Luck. Out of Balance. Argh. Turned it all off. I am not enchanted.
Maps from DLC appearing twice on Overview page
After installing the new expansion as well as the latest updates and patches the new world for the Lovestruck expansion appears twice in the world selection screen. Both can be selected from the screen but only own of the two contains functioning lots. Game is still playable, but bug will not disappear despite repairing the game.
