Tutorial: Turning Your Sims into Service NPC (No mods required)
A few days ago I've seen a thread asking about if we can make our own service sims, and I've seen similar threads before too. These cheats have always been in the game, but since few people know it, I decided to make a tutorial. Updated cheats here (will update again when Seasons come out): Base Game Mailman: traits.equip_trait isMailman, careers.add_career Mailman Maid: traits.equip_trait isMaid, careers.add_career maid Nanny: traits.equip_trait isNanny, careers.add_career Nanny Pizza Delivery: traits.equip_trait isPizzaDelivery, careers.add_career PizzaDelivery Gardener (need Gardening Skill): traits.equip_trait isGardener_Service, careers.add_career Gardener_Service traits.equip_trait trait_isMasterGardener, careers.add_career career_Adult_NPC_Gardener Fisherman: traits.equip_trait trait_isMasterFisherman, careers.add_career career_Adult_NPC_Fisherman Repair Service (need Handiness Skill): traits.equip_trait isRepair, careers.add_career Repair Get Together: DJ (need DJ Skill): traits.equip_trait isDJ, careers.add_career DJ City Living: Weirdo: traits.equip_trait isWeirdo (You need at least 5 of them, and probably more) Living statue: traits.equip_trait isStatueBusker (You need at least 2, YA or teen) City repair: traits.equip_trait isCityRepair Romance Guru: traits.equip_trait isLoveGuru (In the vanilla game, the romance guru have to be an elder, but with this mod, you can have young adults and adults as well) Landlord (need handiness skill): traits.equip_trait isRepair traits.equip_trait trait_Hidden_Landlord careers.add_career career_Adult_NPC_Landlord Cats and Dogs: Adoption Officer: traits.equip_trait isAdoptionOfficer, careers.add_career AdoptionOfficer Outdoor Retreat: Forest Ranger: traits.equip_trait isForestRanger, careers.add_career Ranger Master Herbalist: traits.equip_trait isMasterHerbalist Bear: traits.equip_trait isBear Spa Day: Massage Therapist (Service NPC that you can call through phone, not the ones in spa venues, needs at least level 9 wellness skill): traits.equip_trait isMassageTherapist, careers.add_career MassageTherapist_Service Dine Out: Restaurant Critic: traits.equip_trait isRestaurantCritic, careers.add_career RestaurantCritic Vintage Glamour: Butler: traits.equip_trait isButler, careers.add_career Butler Jungle Adventure: Natives: traits.equip_trait isNative Steps to turn your sims into service NPC: - Create the household and place them in a lot - Temporarily play them, and add the traits/careers/skills needed via cheats. - Go to Manage World and mark them as unplayed. - Delete the random sims you have.

PLease help, I am stuck in the World-Famous Celebrity aspiration. My sim needs to be asked for a selfie 3 times I can't figure out how to make that happen. I have been trying for 2 in game weeks. My sim has visited a lot of public lots. She has given several meet and greet events, both with goals and without. She has been to 3 award ceremonies, and won an award at two of them. She has visited lots with the Up-and-Coming Hotspot lot trait and the Hottest Spot in Town and even tried lots without these traits. She has been asked to hand out autographs a dozen time and fans are constantly fainting around her. She is currently a 4 star celebrety, nearing the 5star level. But in two weeks time not a single fan has asked for a selfie. Is there some kind of trick? Some perk she needs to have? I can understand that this can take some time, but she hasn't even been asked once.4.5KViews0likes7CommentsHow to spar with another vampire?
Im remaking my old vampire, i created a human and got Caleb to convert her. Now i am at the point where my vampire power level is high enough to spar with other vampires, but what is my surprise that i dont have any spar or duel options in my interactions with him or anyone else for the matter. Is there any special pre-requisite to be able to spar with other vampires? i looked all over the place, in the friendly menu, in the mean menu, i just dont have those interaction options. I cant advance through the aspiration goals. When i played more than one year ago i remember it was straight forward. Thanks in advance.6.8KViews2likes8CommentsSIMS 4 CHALLENGE LIST (Updated May 24, 2021)
The purpose of this thread is to create a current list of all available challenges for The Sims 4. This includes Legacy and many other type challenges. There have been other threads in the past, but they haven't been updated in at least a year, so here's a new one that will be much more up to date. Please feel free to add any new challenges in the comments! Any thoughts on how you would like to see this list formatted are welcome. Thank you to @Nicarra60 for all the work you put into the original post. I have organized the challenges below by "types" of challenge. Links to find each type are here: Legacy Challenges Toddler Challenges (Under Legacies) Gameplay / Story Based Challenges Building Challenges Sim Creation/CAS Challenges Rotation / Multi-Household Play Challenges Selection / Contestant Challenges Pets / Animals Challenges Holiday / Special Event Challenges Exploration / Scavenger Hunt Challenges TV / Movie Fan Based Challenges HOW TO SUBMIT A CHALLENGE 1. To submit a challenge to be added to the list, please include the challenge name and a working link for full challenge rules. 2. Challenges submitted MUST have their own forum thread or blog/website post for rules. Any challenges posted with rules within this thread will NOT be added to the list. 3. Read below for tips on creating a new challenge. 4. Feel free to ask any questions you may have! Here are some excellent tips when creating a new challenge, written by @EuphorialQueen: When I am reading thru a new challenge suggestion I look for a few key items: What is the story behind the challenge? Tell me something to make me interested in reading more about the challenge. Is it based on another existing challenge? Is it a complete challenge with a beginning, middle and end? How do I start, how do I play and what is the ultimate goal or how do I 'win'? Do the rules or guidelines seem reasonable and can goals set by the challenge actually be achieved? Has the person posting the challenge play tested it? By posting a challenge on a blog or in the forums it is much easier to discuss and ask questions. When updating a challenge or change the guidelines just edit the thread where it is posted. Starting too many threads on the same challenge or subject only adds to confusion and leads to information being lost. These are only suggestions and offer a view of how I - as one person - review challenges. Thank you for your time. Edit: Use spell check and complete words to make reading your post more pleasant and easier to understand. Want to write stories about the challenges you play?

Hello! Despite the discussion collecting these already existing, I've decided to make my own traits list due to how these forums work (it starts from the first post, not the last post, and it takes long to reach the last post). This list contains all the traits in-game, both visible and hidden, in these sections: Base Game Expansion Packs Game Packs Stuff Packs & Kits Non-Pack Filtered Visible Traits Non-Pack Filtered Hidden Traits Popular traits Update Log To add a trait, you'll need to use this cheat: traits.equip_trait [trait_codename] And to remove a trait, you'll need to use this cheat: traits.remove_trait [trait_codename] In both cheats, [trait_codename] needs to be replaced with trait's codename. For most of the personality traits, it's same as its name, but there are exceptions (Erratic for example). Find the trait codenames in the list below. These lists will be kept updated as patches and packs come out. Please do not post under these trait lists. If you'd like to suggest traits for the popular section or want to discuss some traits, please reply to either this post or someone else's.45KViews23likes90CommentsNew Sims Voices
I play the Sims 4 on PC and I've been looking for mods to add new Sims voices for a while. I'm just getting burned out and bored with the 3 voices for males and females. Does anyone know if EA has any plans to include new voices in the future or is there a way to add new voices to your game? Any help is so appreciated!3.3KViews6likes8CommentsEgonVM's Ultimate NPC Making Guide 2.0
So yeah, due to how these forums work with the spoilers, the original guide is somewhat messed up and updating it would result in loss of information. So, after some consideration, I've decided to make a V2.0 thread on it, using the similar approach to the List of Traits with link trees and each pack being in its own post (so it is collapsible). This thread will have two main posts under which I'll post the info. Please do not reply under them. You may reply to this post or other replies (including mine). Links to important replies: NPC Making List Additional Guides But how does it all work? Basically, if you ever wanted to make custom NPC sims, good news is that most of them can be done without any mods. The main cheats you are going to require are those: testingcheats on traits.equip_trait [trait_codename] careers.add_career [career_codename] In the guide, there are 5 types of "difficulties" I'm going to use (and emojis I'm using with it): 🔷Played-Friendly - These ones, usually traits, can not only also be taken from sims the Played Households, switching to the household the sim is in won't make them lose their NPC status. 📝Simply Assign a Career/Trait - These will lose their NPC status when you play with them. The usual way of making those is by making these sims, equipping them with the required traits and/or careers, then evicting them. 🏙Location-Based Career - Unfortunately, this is where the career location matters, and it is the venue they'll be working at. As to my knowledge, there isn't any way to set a career location to a sim without mods, the best bet here is to modify sims already working there or make one of the custom sim unplayed and hope they'll appear in that role. 🔻Must Be Unplayed - You may assign a required career and/or trait, but they'll won't appear in the role until you set the household to be unplayed. 👨👩👧👦Out of Control - Welp, these sims are chosen randomly from a broad selection. No way to influence the game to pick the sim you want... And in addition, these emojis represent the following: ✅️ Must have, meaning that your sim must have that skill, trait, career etc to appear in this role. 🟡 Optional, meaning that your sim can have it for the game to consider them more for the role, but they don't need to have it. Sometimes used in sub-types. ❌️ Mustn't have, meaning if your sim has the skill, trait, career etc, the game will never place them in the role even when all other conditions are met. ❕ Splits into sub-types, meaning that for the sim to appear in the role, they must meet at least one of the requirements in the following list below for the game to consider them. Ghosts and sims that are currently at work are usually excluded. In addition, this list shows the sims that will be excluded from the most of the roles: I've also decided to bring out templates too. These are not important when making NPC sims, but are rather some interesting side-info on how sims are generated for the role by the game. So yeah, look at the list and have fun making your own NPC sims!30KViews15likes414Comments
