*fixed*UI Bugs when opening the Simology Panel for teen/child-July 23rd Patch
Game UI bugs when I open the Simology panel for teens/kids already played including ones downloaded from the gallery that have saved skills/character values. The sims in question already have time played on them, their skill levels are up and character values are also up. When the UI bugs i am unable to travel, open up the game menu/settings and live mode. The only option that works is manage Worlds however it does not go out to the manage worlds screen once you save and exit or just exit. It remains as a black screen with sim icons and emotes going ( game is still running on the household) The bottom UI buttons for the sims themselves is fine to flip through, but if you'retrying to bring up a menu it goes no where eg on the phone to travel, bring up job options etc So far I have replicated the issue everytime in my game, noted below scenarios: Current household is one i downloaded from my gallery, the teens already had skills and character values against them. Added an elder to the household via create a sim to put them in the world. Elder sim similogy loaded without bugging, teen simology bugged the game. Loaded an old save with a teen sim in the family, opened a young adult, adult, elder and toddler simology panel- were fine teen however bugged out. Loaded an old save with a child in the household, both young adults Loaded fine but when I Loaded the child simology panel it glitches out. I am noting character values as when I get the teen/child simology panel opened, the top feature is their character values and they are going haywire by constantly changing when the teen/child themselves aren't doing anything. As long as I don't click simology the game runs fine (so far). This seems to be a bug with the new update and parenthood. I play without mods, I had to start fresh with a whole new sims 4 folder due to getting a constant error loading one of my sims family in my old sims 4 folder. However I did test this with both folders (clean slate and old saves)3.4KViews132likes105CommentsSims/Pets age up multiple times in a row
Its been about three weeks now and my infant will age up to toddler only to immediately age up to a child. I play super vanilla, only using the packs for content; no crazy downloads or mods. I've looked online to see if anyone else has been having this issue and it does not seem to be a lot which makes me worried. I've been trying to do the Sims 100 Baby Challenge and I'm at a complete stand still because my kids keep 'double aging' as I've been calling it.

Every time any of my sims have a visitor, whether it's someone who just stopped by, was invited over, or came over for a stay-over, the visitor goes straight for the fridge and makes a white cake. During a stay-over, 3 people came over and all three of them were constantly making cakes. It doesn't seem to matter what household I'm playing - it happens with all visitors unless I keep them constantly engaged and then send them home. If the visiting sim is idle for ANY length of time, they're right in the fridge pulling out the ingredients to make a white cake.

Mermaids occults revisited Love the mermaids but I felt like they gotten the short end of the stick like the aliens not having a skill tree The skill tree The tree level should go from Sea witch 5th level sea witch once u hit this level u will be able to stop aging at the young adult stage u can turn sims into mermaids u can make deals with sims u can give and take a away buffs u can age or turn a sim young again or u can give an occult level up or lowering there level by making deals u can take a buff or occult from them as payment adagardis 4th level the adagardis can Influence more then one person with there singing making them flirty or whatever emotion you want them in u can make the start fights over u or u can make them end a relationship that they are in or help them in that relationship u can also influence there friendship or romance gages nereids 3rd level nereids have the ability to influence the weather making it rain thunderstorm making it hot cold windy or snowing u also have weather powers u can make Little rain clouds over sims or thunder clouds u can make it rain or snow inside or outside and u can freeze sims in a block of ice and hold them in there until u decide u want to let them out or make a water ball to trap a mermaid in there until u want to release it or not Siren 2sec level Sirens the can sing lure people to the water to drown them have influence over there emotions making them flirty ur singing can give them buffs or if u kiss the sim u can make them dehydrate them or can make them breathe under water longer or summon the kraken to drown them Mermaid 1st level Mermaids they step foot in the water and they turn they can call upon fish and dolphins can Savage in the ocean The witches flask When ur making a deal with the witch the witch will take something from u a buff or maybe a occult level or maybe just take ur occult away it will be random or of the witches or ur choosing and let's say if a sim gets one of the witch's flask like let's say if a sims vampirism in there and if there max out the sim gets all of the ability unlock or if there was buff in the flask they will get that buff The payment U can sell ur soul or give her or him ur buff or they can age u up or lower ur occults level down or take ur occult or it could be random depending on the price or on the witch there a good witch and a bad witch (need cauldron) Cauldron Like the wizard u can make potions to help sim breath under water longer or make an air bubble around the head for 30 mins or less u can also use the cauldron as a looking glass to watch the sim that owes u payment and to summon the sims or mermaids or bless or hex a random sim depends on u Good witch bad witch The good witch can cure any illness and cure an occult can give traits buffs and if there is a willing occult to give up there abilitys the witch can transfer to u if willing and can age or make them young again for a fair trade and if the sims die they can bring them back to life and if they past on they can bring them back from the other side but that's in the heaven and hell dlc idea I have if u want to go look lol Evil sea witch u can make deals contracts they can take buffs or traits or force to age u up or even taking ur soul or ur occult turning u back to normal or lower ur occults skill level and if u want to turn into occult u would have to kidnap a sim and the witch will steal the occult and give it to u for u soul and can also bring back the dead sims or the one that past on to the other side but need heaven or hell dlc idea I have on my page lol If u have The Seasons expansion U can use water ball to hold the mermaids in place so they can't swim away wind ball could hold a sim in place when ur underwater so they can breathe and with the ice u can freeze in place until u decide to let them go Hydration gauge And the meter will be the same with the hydration with the hydration washing ur hands taking shower swimming that will keep full which we know but if u kiss a sim u can drain all the moisture making them them dehydrate and feeling up ur water gauge it won't kill the sim it would just make them thirty which will an hydration option if u want to use it Mermaid tails Like how they have mermaid tails they should make some fancy octopus legs or shark tails and also have some fins on the arms and back or maybe cheeks with some gills and hand webbing as add-ons The bottom is for the for the Angel and demon occult dlc idea I had go take look at it and tell me what u think Mermaid inspired angel *Scales with Iridescent Sheen*: Shimmering scales that reflect light like angel wings, giving them an ethereal appearance *Aquatic Wings*: Instead of traditional wings, they have flowing, fin-like appendages that allow them to swim and glide through water with ease. *Oceanic Halo*: A soft blue glow surrounding their head, representing their connection to the ocean and its secrets Mermaid inspired demon *Scales with Smoldering Ember*: Dark, fiery scales that reflect the glow of hellish flames, giving them a menacing appearance. *Infernal Fins*: Instead of traditional wings, they have sharp, jagged fins that allow them to slice through the water with deadly precision. *Dark Tides Aura*: A mysterious, dark purple glow surrounding their head, representing their mastery over the darkest depths of the ocean and its hidden terrors.1.2KViews44likes30CommentsForever Free Packs for Everyone
The Sims 4 is a 10-year-old game with over 100 DLC packs (106), and EA will likely keep releasing more for years. Competing life-sim games like Inzoi and Paralives offers much of this content in their base game. For example, Inzoi can provide content equivalent to 30–40 Sims 4 packs in its basegame for the price of just one expansion pack(40$) and we already have 20 of them. To stay competitive and keep players engaged, EA should make some older packs permanently free—such as Seasons, Cats & Dogs and Get to Work. Giving 2–4 free packs from each pack category would greatly benefit new players so they can complete other packs without pirating. For players who already own these packs, EA could offer new Kits free for a month (like they did with Desert Luxe Kit when The Sims 4 became free). I think forever free packs should be; 2 expansion packs -> seasons, cats and dogs (out of 20 eps) 2 game packs -> dine out, get to work (out of 12 gps) 4 stuff packs -> cool kitchen, bowling night, backyard, spooky (out of 20 sps) 4 kits -> throwback fit, industrial loft, blooming rooms, carnaval streetwear (out of 40 kits of excluding 11 creator kits and 2 spongebob kits, total 53)18KViews36likes49Comments[LS] Sim who has never been heartbroken died of broken heart
I currently have love struck expansion on PC and the game is most up to date. I am playing as a poly sim whose romantic boundaries are all set to not triggering jealousy. Whenever my sim does anything physical with any other sim, she keeps getting the notification that she needs to avoid any messy break ups etc. If she breaks up with a sim, she has also gone so much as to die of total despair. There is no pre-warning for this. She just randomly dies of heartbreak. Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title fit bug report at AHQ2KViews27likes16Commentsstop giving us new content and PLEASE fix your game.
I wanted to make a more in detail post (TLDR at the end for anyone who doesn't want to read my yap session!) on this forum because I feel like it needs to be talked about as more than a frustrated vent, but the sims 4 team needs to slow down on new content and focus on fixing their game. I understand the devs work really hard and no game is 100% bug free but this is genuinely starting to feel excessive and it's making the game really difficult to play. I've been playing the sims 4 since 2018 (which i know isn't the longer but I'm a younger simmer lol) and in all the time I've been playing this game, I don't think I've ever had this many bugs. I'd have maybe one bug for a couple of days but even then it'd be some minor thing that didn't effect my enjoyment of the game. However, recently, I've found myself using EA's gameplay support forum excessively. I'm come here almost every time I open my game because I'm always having some sort of issue with my game. My farmer and rancher sims crops disappear/turn invisible the second fall hits (and NO i don't mean an out of season crop dying, I mean my fully grown, in season fall and winter plants being invisible for the entire duration of the seasons) and while sure I can still use the gameplay mechanic, after a while (and many weeks) it's very visually frustrating to look at a large field of invisible plants that are still very much in season. Mind you visual issues like this have been bugged dating back to 4 years ago (though my specific issue seemingly only dates back to 5 months ago which is still a long time but a lot shorter of a time frame than four years ago) My sims can not getting married at wedding arches because it says that both engaged sims must be around (even if both of them are right in front of the arch), so I'm forced to do the manual engagement through the romance category which defeats the whole purpose of having wedding arches. With this issue also comes not being able to renew wedding vows because said archers are broken, This issue also seemingly dates back to a minimum of 5 months ago. Another issue I, and a lot of other simmers have, is disappearing terrain paint, and this issue has been happening for YEARS. The only way for me to somewhat circumnavigate is to build whatever im building first, save, leave to manage worlds, go back to the lot, do the paint, save again, leave again, and then load back in. That is absurd, again this has been happening for YEARS. Ever since EA introduced ads into the sims 4 (The opening screen ads and the splash ads) many people have found themselves not able to close or dismiss the ads, again another bug that has been around for a hot minute, that makes the game unplayable, that hasn't been fixed. Or what about the eyelid glitch that makes sims not able to close their eyes all the way? Again, I understand no game will be 100% bug free, but so many of the bugs have been around for months, sometimes even years, and they still aren't fixed, and it's truly ridiculous to see. It's incredibly frustrating to see SO many longstanding bugs be put under the tag "under investigation" when it honestly feel like nothing is being investigated. Or, at the very least, communicate with your community more. Even a vague "Hey guys, we hear your issues with the bugs and we're trying to fix them!" is more reassuring than radio silence or a moderator linking us to another forum for 8 months ago with a person having the same issue as you. If your game is so buggy it's putting people off and stopping you from attracting more people to it, maybe it's time to take a break from being a cash hungry corporation. Please, STOP PUTTING OUT NEW CONTENT AND FIX YOUR GAME. or at the very least shift your focus onto to fixing common bugs that make your game nearly unplayable. I love the sims, it is truly one of my favorite games of all time, but it's disappointing and frustrating to see 6 new expansion packs, 3 new game packs, 2 new stuff packs, and 12 new kits come out in one year while me and hundreds of other simmers have been begging you to fix a bug that first showed up in your game 2 years ago. So, EA, sims dev team, PLEASE FIX YOUR GAMES. TLDR: This game has so many bugs its nearly unplayable (or at the very least VERY frustrating to play) but ea keeps putting out new content instead of fixing month(s)/year(s) old issues and it's getting irritating.460Views27likes19Comments[NKSP] [FR] [HSY] Residential Rental: Tenants can't send items on Plopsy/Trendi
