WORKAROUND - Grim not showing up when summoned
I am using Windows 10 still because some of my programs that make my computer more accessible to me are 32-bit programs. The file locations may be/look different than Windows 11. The principles are still the same. Read This First: Make sure you only click folders and files that appear underneath This PC. These are the folders and files that are actually on your hard drive(s) and not in The Cloud. Back up your current user folder - To do this, follow these steps: Launch File Explorer - When you start it, you will most likely see your Quick Access folders first, don't click on any of those. The reason for this is: if you have Microsoft OneDrive, the Quick Access folders are usually tied to OneDrive. Again, make sure you are navigating to folders under This PC. You can navigate through your files in the left side panel or click on them on the right side of the screen. Double-click on the Documents folder. Double-click Electronic Arts folder. Highlight the Sims 4 folder but don't double-click it. Right click and go to Rename - Rename your Sims 4 folder to Sims 4 Backup Copy this folder (Ctrl-C) and Paste it (Ctrl-V) a place you can find it if you need it - I usually put mine on the Desktop. Once it is somewhere you can easily find it if you need it, follow the next step . You can now delete the Sims 4 Backup folder that is still in the Electronic Arts folder because you have a copy on the desktop. Now your Electronic Arts folder should now be empty. Don't panic. Launch the EA App and hover over The Sims 4 (You may or may not have other games in the left side panel) Click the blue Play Button. This will start the game. Because you deleted your Sims 4 folder, the game will run as if it were running for the very first time. Technically, you are running it for the very first time! ALL of your settings, saved games and mods are removed. For example, I play my game with no music on. If I follow these steps correctly, I will hear music. Exit the game immediately! DO NOT TOUCH ANYTHING ON THE MAIN MENU OTHER THAN EXIT GAME. Launch File Explorer again. Make sure that you are navigating through files and folders under the This PC as before Double-click on the Documents folder. Double-click Electronic Arts folder. You should now see your Sims 4 folder. Double-click it. Delete localthumbcache.package and avatarcache.package files. You may be tempted to go into the backup folder you made before to put back your Saved Games and Mods - DO NOT DO THIS! There are too many mods that will cause the event not to work properly. You will need fresh saves (one every week - I named mine Gim Event 1 and I will name next week's save Gim event 2, and so on) to complete the Grim Reaper Event. I know this seems harsh - and it is, but it's a workaround so we're all kind of screwed by it if we want the event to work properly and get all of the items. Run the game again in the EA App with the blue Play button as before. Adjust your settings the way you like them - DO NOT ENABLE MODS Start a new save Make 2 YA Sims ONLY - Occult Sims are OK, but no pets, infants, toddlers or children. (or get them off the Gallery) - One you want to play with and one you will kill to have Grim show up at the house! Enable Cheats - Press Ctrl-Shift-C and type: testingcheats true then press Ctrl-Shift-C again to close the cheats window. I also strongly recommend turning autonomy off for the Event tasks. That way you can direct them to do Event tasks and they're not getting glasses of water every 5 seconds - because you won't have mods to stop Sims from getting water or putting plates on top of half walls. DO NOT PAUSE OR SAVE YOUR GAME UNTIL THE EVENT TASKS APPEAR - THIS WILL BREAK THE EVENT. Try to do the tasks in order. It's much easier and there is less chance of something going wrong. When you get to the Summon Grim Task - Buy the Grimophone and click Summon Grim Reaper. You must do this even though there are reports of Grim not showing up at all. As it is an event task, and you must do it to do the next event task. The next task after that will be: Meet or Socialize with the Grim Reaper. This is why you have another Sim (to kill.) Switch control to your "Sacrificial Sim" - If you forget to switch control to your other sim, the next step will kill your main sim. I found out the hard way the first time I did this! Make the Second Sim sit down. Shift-Click on that Sim and select Kill... Your only option will be to kill that Sim by an (Invisible) Rabbit Attack. Click that. Now Grim has no choice but to show up : ) YAY! Pause the Game so Grim doesn't disappear. Shift-Click on Grim, Click Add to Household. Grim's face should now appear on the bottom next to your main sim. Click on him as you normally would to meet or socialize with him, I clicked Ask about Day. That Event Task should now complete. After that, you can remove Grim from your household unless you want him to stay but he might be needed for other tasks during the event so I would remove him. That's as far as I got. I then paused my game and wrote everyone this guide! If you have Questions or issues, don't hesitate to reach out to me.

Realm of Morgyn ✨
Welcome to the Realm of Morgyn, a thread to discuss all things Morgyn! Play ideas, speculation, reactions and opinions are all welcome to this thread! 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? Are you excited to meet Morgyn or perhaps *shocked gasp* you don't like Morgyn?

Spellcaster - what's your routine?
I have not played spellcasters in quite some time, and I must admit that I forgot most of their everyday activities. I find plenty of crystals in their homes, placed there by me long ago, but I don't recall what they should be used for, or if I placed them there simply for set dressing. I know we can buy spellbooks/spells in the hidden Alley, and I will go there soon. Right now I am playing the Charm household (not sure how much I altered that household of 4. I sent Darrel to the tower to experiment, but after a couple hours of experimenting, and still doing so, I wonder if the experimenting will actually result in something, or if it is just an everlasting activity? He is already a Spellcaster, but I don't see the experimenting adding anything to skills etc. What did I miss? Should I just have him stop experimenting? Will any progress be lost? Pls share some tidbits of the daily routines of your Spellcastewrs. I am sure there will be plenty for me to learn ;)

Why don’t they have much cross compatibility?
Looking at some of the pack's love struck home chef hustle not sure about for rent most of the expansion packs and other’s which to my understanding meant to expand the game hardly have any cross compatibility I was going to buy love struck but since the new patch has broken most people’s games as well as mine to and existent and the fact that they don’t seam to care about cross compatibility what is the point of calling it an expansion pack I’m going to hold off on buy future packs till it’s fully looked into & fixed I may buy kits packs could have so much more potential if done this way like the sims 2 it’s a real shame I would do the usual happy simming but at the moment that’s not fitting So I hope everyone can have a good day

it’s getting boring
I’m honestly just waiting for them to finally drop a bigger update that doesn’t ruin the game. I’m so sick of having a pretty cool update but being literally unable to play the game until they release like 3 new updates that fix the previous update 💀

Buying a pack with planning to use the main feature
This is my first new discussion on the new forum. Apologies if it doesn't look quite right. Has anyone ever bought a dlc without using the main feature? It kinda feels like a waste of money yet at the same time I have done so. How do you guys feel about that? I bought get famous without the slightest interest in fame. I regularly use the CAS and BB but that's about it. I am considering getting for rent in a similar fashion. I like the world and really want the kettle so my sims can drink tea just like me. But I have no plan to use the residential rentals.

Any tips on doing Strangerville with 2 Sims?
I've started playing around with Strangerville, mostly for a SimLit story. I want to run two characters through the storyline at the same time but I'm running into the obvious issue that it's clearly intended for only one Sim to work on the mystery. I wondered if anyone had done Strangerville with 2 and if you have any tips on how best to handle it? Thanks
