The Grove Pack Legacy Challenge (Updated 7-18-2026)
Hi and welcome to my return to sim story writing! I am doing my rendition of rosannatxt's "Pack Legacy Challenge." Below are links to Rosannatxt's Challenge and my story respectively. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Simming! I'm back after a hiatus! Generation two will be done rotation-style and in each of the three Grove sibling's perspectives. (Plus Liam and Jodi's now.) Enjoy! Pack Legacy Rules and Guidelines James Turner Disable Packs Tool ------------------------------------ To start: The Grove Legacy: Humble Beginnings Ch. 1 Current Chapter: Harper: The Truth 2.7 Pt. 1 Note: Rotation is Harper, Liam, Hazel, Jodi McNeil and Fisher *Exception-the story gets a bit out of order rotationally starting with Harper and Hazel at chapter 2.3. However, the story is syntactically correct.
Feature Request: Add a "Disallow Roommate Guests" Option (Discover University)
Feature Request: Add a "Disallow Roommate Guests" Option The roommate system is one of my favorite features in The Sims 4 because it allows me to focus on one active Sim while still having a lively household. However, one aspect of the system can become overwhelming: roommates constantly invite over their own friends, partners, and other visitors. This becomes especially noticeable in larger roommate households, where multiple roommates may each invite guests. A household of roommates can quickly become filled with Sims the player never intended to have on the lot. I would love to see an optional setting that allows players to control this behavior without changing how roommates function for everyone else. Possible implementations: Door and Gate Lock Option - Allow Household - Allow Roommates - Disallow Roommate Guests This would let roommates freely enter and leave while preventing their autonomous visitors from entering the property. Lot Trait or Lot Challenge (Preferred A lot trait such as Private Residence or Quiet Household could disable autonomous roommate visitors while leaving every other roommate behavior unchanged. Benefits - Gives players more control over their households. - Reduces overcrowding on larger roommate lots. - Improves game performance on lots with many Sims. - Keeps the focus on the roommates the player intentionally chose. - Completely optional players who enjoy roommate visitors can simply leave the setting enabled. This feature wouldn't remove any existing gameplay. It would simply provide players with another way to customize how the roommate system works, just like many other optional gameplay settings already available in The Sims 4.

Rebirthed Sim "becoming" existing household member
I have done rebirth's successfully in the past (before the latest round of updates), but recently when I attempt to do a rebirth into a new household, instead of creating a new, separate sim and adding them to the household, it seems to overwrite one of the existing household members and turns that household sim INTO the rebirthed sim. It doesn't allow me to add a household member, it simply takes one of the existing household members and "rebirths" that household member, so when I press play, the rebirthed sim takes the place of the existing household member and uses that household members traits instead of that of the rebirthed sim's. I hope that makes sense.... If I try to rebirth a sim into a new household, with no existing members, it seems to work as it is supposed to, but if I rebirth the sim into an existing household, it doesn't work properly and simply replaces one of the household members. It will allow me to customize and edit the household member that has become the rebirthed sim, but then that household member disappears. Help!!💡 Ideas > ♂️ Man lifestyle for The Sims

I used to play the sims 4 on PC on steam and purchased a decent amount of DLC on it, however I've recently had to switch to mac and as the sims 4 does not work on steam while on mac so I have had to switch to the EA app. This shouldn't be a problem as my accounts are linked and as an image included shows, the app acknowledges that I have purchased the DLC that I own. However it will not let me download most of that DLC, only letting me download kits not my stuff packs or game packs or expansion packs. I've tried raising this issue before but the recommendations did nothing as they packs that I can't download don't show a install option. This problem is really weird because as I stated before it doesn't affect kits only other DLC which shows that the problem isn't just steam purchases being rejected by the EA app. The DLC I own that is NOT working is: Expansion packs: Growing Together, High School Years, Cottage Living, Snowy Escape, Eco Lifestyle, Discover University, Island Living, Get Famous, Seasons, Cats & Dogs, City Living, Get Together, Get to Work Game packs: Dream Home Decorator, Realm of Magic, Strangerville, Parenthood, Vampires, Dine Out, Spa Day, Outdoor Retreat Stuff Packs: Crystal Creations, Home Chef Hustle, Paranormal Stuff, Nifty Knitting, Tiny Living, My First Pet, Toddler Stuff, Bowling Night, Vintage Glamour, Backyard Stuff, Kids Room, Romantic Garden, Movie Hangout, Spooky Stuff, Cool Kitchen, Perfect Patio, Luxury Party The DLC that I own that is working is: Kits: Storybook Nursery Kit, Rivera Retreat Kit, Cozy Bistro Kit, Castle Estate Kit, Book Nook Kit, Greenhouse Haven Kit, Basement Treasures Kit, Little Campers Kit, Blooming Room Kit, Industrial Loft Kit, Courtyard Oasis Kit, Country Kitchen Kit I have been considering purchasing more DLC recently but have held off out of concern for my current DLC not working and not wanting to spend money when money that I've already spent not allowing me access to the stuff that I own.

SOLVED Life state slot is hidden for human sims and we can't switch the traits in a alredy created occult sim. (Base Game) Can't create ghosts on CAS knowing all they need is a Death type trait; (Base Game) "Perfectionist" trait being on hobby traits category.

(Base) Aunt, uncle, cousin and grandparents options not available for selection in CAS. (Base) Sims do not react with animations when getting moodlets. (Base) "Compliment appearence" being romantic. (Base) Can't swim on deep ponds. (Base) Only one hashtag per search at the gallery. (Base) Park and National Park having the same lot icon. (Parks should've a picnic basket) (Base) No clone genealogic relationship in CAS. (Base/Get to Work/Realm of Magic) Collectible pets/familiars not having interactions like rodents does.
