Tutorial on how to hire your own sims you made, to work in your Restaurant
Please note that the sims you want to hire have to be not in the world and also not employed in another job. I made this tutorial very 123 abc step by step so it has 20 Photos to share. Its for simmers just starting out or those that battle to follow instructions without pics. Hope you enjoy it and that it will help you hire your own sims. It comes in 5 parts with 4 photo's each so I don't break slow internet users computers ;) Once you have made your playable sim and she/he bought their restaurant and is at the restaurant then you can follow these steps Step 1 http://i.imgur.com/GdNraB0.png select and empty lot and then click on create a new household, that wil take you to CAS Step 2 http://i.imgur.com/2e3KM6n.png Import or make your worker sims in CAS and then hit the play button Step 3 http://i.imgur.com/l3vE0PY.png Confirm by clicking save and play Step 4 http://i.imgur.com/ziZCjrI.png Click to purchase the home. More steps to follow ........
Can't find and arrest suspect
I can not for the life of me find the suspect that fits the description in my notebook (teen, black hair, ambitious, wearing a tank top and jeans). I found a sim matching that exact description, but by the time he finally showed up to the lot the game put me on when I issued an APB, he'd aged into a young adult. I couldn't find any posts about a similar problem, so I'm wondering if this is a problem anyone else is having, or if I'm somehow playing the game wrong. I'm guessing it won't let me have a different case until I solve this one, but how can I do that if there's no one to arrest?
GOOD NEWS, Everyone! Vampires can MURDER!
Guess carl got an early copy, take a look here: http://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/gamepacks/vampires/powers-weaknesses.php Specifically, this snippet: Influence Emotion (3 Ranks) Grand Master Allows your Sim to give an emotion to nearby Sims. Affects a large area around the Sim, causing a +2 Moodlet at rank 1 of any emotion you choose. At rank 3, it gives +8 versions of those Moodlets. It can therefore be used to kill Sims, as a couple of jokes or a slap to the face will put Sims over the line for enragement or hysteria. Dunno about the rest of you but this makes me happy. Always wanted a practical method of murder for storytelling.
Bare Your Fangs! Vampire Pictures, Stories and Gameplay Advice Please
Hi all, I am working on a storyline in my game that will ultimately involve a neighborhood based on rival covens of vampires, so I was wondering if anyone out there, has pictures of your vamps, stories about vampire stuff or advice or ideas on vampire play in general. I'd love to hear and see what you've got. Thanks! To start here are some pictures from my first coven: This is my Circle of Love Coven as a Group https://i.imgur.com/Fu3smS9.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ueLBgKr.jpg And the members are: Don Lothario (Not a vampire, but an integral part of the group) https://i.imgur.com/3OlTwP7.jpg Jaiden Lansing (Head vampire in the coven) https://i.imgur.com/7fFiVQv.jpg Caleb Vatore (vampire) https://i.imgur.com/gFGHVFQ.jpg Silas Vaughn (vampire) https://i.imgur.com/GgkNyow.jpg And Christian Webber (newest member and vampire) https://i.imgur.com/9hfPBNI.jpg From time to time I'll update with new Covens or new members who may join the covens.

Nosferatu, Interview w/ a Vampire, Bram Stroker's Dracula, Lost Boys, Blade, From Dusk till Dawn, Twilight, Buffy, Underworld, True Blood, Vampire Diaries, Dark Shadows, Near Dark. I'm sure I'm forgetting a few. Vampires in popular media are incredibly diverse. They have as many differences as similarities. And everyone seems to have their own specific version of what one should look like and how it should behave. So right from the start, it was very important to us to cater to a variety of styles rather than just picking one specific flavor of vamp and really let the player define what their vampire was. https://twitter.com/KentaProduction/status/821477732227780608 https://twitter.com/SimGuruNinja/status/821478208176459776 "SimGuruNinja;15485530" wrote: "BabySquare;15485526" wrote: In CAS, can we make families of humans and vamps and them be related?

(We could have gone the easy route and just tied it to piano skill, but where's the fun in that!? There's so many new songs for the Pipe Organ it naturally made sense to give the object its own skill.) Vamp Lore = 15 levels. (But each level ranks up faster than the normal 10 lvl skill. LOTS of unlocks to be found under this skill. VERY useful for Vamps & Humans alike) "SimGuruNinja;15494831" wrote: ^^ In this modern day and age the computer is the best place to start.

It's more that it wasn't at all a simple or trivial addition. We looked into this feature at depth. I know folks wanted this option. I did too. In the end, it was going to be quite lengthy to implement and very likely to inteoduce many (deep) bugs. The magnitude of additional testing required would have really stretched our QA folks thin. We knew some players would be upset by not including this option. So we tried to design a set of rules to allow for players not necessarily interested in the vampire gameplay to still find this pack approachable and satisfying (while not watering down or otherwise compromising really cool Vampire gameplay for those that do want it).

Have you perhaps already thought about how you are going to use this character in your game? Do you feel they named this character right?

Strangerville Military Task Question...
I absolutely love the new game pack and the new career. Both my Sims are pursuing the two branches in the military career but now matter what I do I have no idea how to complete this task. Even mousing over the task does not bring up the little hint of how to complete it... My female sim has the task to "Monitor other Sims" and I have no idea how to complete the task. Thanks in advance for any help!
