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. X18KViews43likes2166CommentsHEVEN & HELL expansion pack
The Sims 4: Heaven & Hell Expansion Pack Hear me out: I don’t know how to make suggestions, but if someone can get the attention of the Sims makers, it would be amazing. Concept Overview: The "Heaven & Hell" expansion pack introduces a new supernatural dimension for The Sims, where each Sim's afterlife is determined by their deeds in life. This journey begins after your Sim passes away, with a dramatic trial that determines if they ascend to Heaven or are condemned to Hell. Players can explore a new world filled with rewards, challenges, or eternal consequences. The Trial of the Grave: After a Sim dies, they must face the "Trial of the Grave," an interactive event that evaluates their actions and personality. The trial is presided over by celestial and infernal beings who weigh the choices the Sim made in life. Did they treat others kindly? Did they steal or cheat? Every action has consequences, and the trial can lead to three outcomes: eternal paradise in Heaven, punishment in Hell, or being stuck as a ghost. Players can influence the trial by selecting arguments in favor of or against the Sim. You could hide bad deeds or emphasize the good ones, adding a strategic layer to the judgment phase. The result isn't just based on a moral meter—it's complex and sometimes relies on luck. If ghosts fail to complete their tasks in time, they risk either being bound to the mortal world indefinitely, unable to interact with Heaven or Hell, or perishing entirely. These restless ghosts must rely on new opportunities or help from living Sims to get back on track and earn enough points to move on. Heaven: For Sims who led a virtuous life or passed their trial, Heaven awaits. Heaven is a peaceful world above the clouds, filled with lush gardens, golden palaces, and endless joy. Sims in Heaven can enjoy: Heavenly Rewards: Luxuries they were deprived of in life, like fulfilling relationships, rare luxuries, or even a dream home. Angelic Powers: Bless other Sims, grant positive moodlets, improve skills, or extend afterlife happiness. Gardens of Eternal Bliss: Explore gardens, harvest divine fruits, attend feasts, or play harp concerts. Heavenly Missions: Guide descendants, help others make good choices, or spread joy in Heaven. Heavenly Pets: Celestial pets like ethereal birds or angelic kittens. Heavenly Festival: Participate in "Cloud Bounce" parties, celestial banquets, or divine karaoke. Hell: For Sims who lived wickedly or failed their trial, Hell is their destination. Hell is an eerie underworld filled with fiery landscapes and mischievous spirits. Players who enjoy chaos can indulge in: Punishments & Torture: As Satan, decide punishments based on Sims' sins. Infernal Interactions: Form alliances, appease Satan, or attempt escape. Demonic Powers: Curse others, create chaos, or haunt the living. Escape Challenge: Undertake a nearly impossible challenge to escape. Hellish Pets: Mischievous pets like imps or fire-breathing dogs. Rebellion Week: Join with others to humorously rebel against Satan. Secret Words: Throughout the expansion, Sims may find "Secret Words" that unlock abilities or new areas. These words can temporarily allow a ghost to visit Heaven, grant immunity to a punishment, or unlock hidden areas. Heaven & Hell Cross-Interactions: Heavenly and Hellish Sims can interact across realms. Heavenly Sims can save lost souls in Hell, while Hellish Sims can sabotage Heaven. These interactions lead to dramatic stories of redemption or rivalry. New Traits, Aspirations, and Careers: Traits: Sims can have traits like "Virtuous," "Sinner," "Redeemer," or "Tempted." Aspirations: New aspirations like "Achieve Eternal Bliss" or "Rule the Underworld." Careers: "Celestial Guide" to help others in the afterlife or "Demonic Tempter" to sow chaos. Afterlife Customization: Customize Heaven or Hell to suit a Sim's personality—design gardens or chaotic underworlds. Living World Impact: Heavenly or Hellish Sims can influence the living by giving blessings or curses. Afterlife Parties: Sims can throw themed parties—Heavenly Sims can host celestial banquets, while Hellish Sims have infernal raves. In-Between World: If a ghost completes their tasks but has a balance of good and bad points, they enter an "In-Between World." This realm combines Heaven and Hell. In-Between World Details: Environment: Contrasting landscapes reflecting the Sim's good or evil leanings. Powers and Abilities: Limited access to both heavenly and demonic powers. Dual Quests: Unique quests that can tip the balance towards Heaven or Hell. Alliances and Rivalries: Form alliances with angelic or demonic beings. Judgment Opportunities: Periodic judgments to determine the Sim's fate. Social Interactions: Inspire or frighten the living. Living World Impact: Influence the living with blessings or curses. The In-Between World adds complexity to the afterlife, giving Sims a chance to explore their duality and decide their eternal fate. Summary: The Sims 4: Heaven & Hell is about exploring morality, consequences, and the joys or torments of the afterlife. Players decide which Sims deserve eternal happiness, who faces eternal damnation, and how legacies live on.Sims 4 Xbox One update/no ui/ saves disappeared
So here’s the full story. I think my sims updated a couple of days ago/maybe a week. I bought the Growing Together pack and noticed it was giving me issues loading the game where the items that come with the pack weren’t loading in. I got that issue resolved. But then these past few days the game has been giving me more and more issues opening. So I would click it on my Xbox and it would say “the Sims took too long to open” and would bring me back to my Xbox Home Screen. I didn’t think anything of it because after a lot of patience and restarting the Xbox it would eventually load. THEN all day yesterday it started giving me me issues where when I got out of build mode the ui would disappear and when I went back to the main menu it would just be a white screen but you could hear things in the background and again with a lot of patience, quitting the game, and restarting it it would work. And now TODAY I loaded my game up, again gave me issues opening, and when it finally opened the EA agreement thing popped up, made me adjust the screen (which I thought was weird) and the. bam! Game loaded up and all my save files are gone. Anyone having the same issue? I’m so upset and wanted to share my story in case anyone else is going through the same thing. I don’t know if there was a bug with the update but this sucks. I just spent 2 game sessions building my families dream home that they finally earned. 😩😭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!)1.6KViews15likes27CommentsWhat 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?186Views4likes17Comments
