Looking for an extremely thorough YouTube playlist tutorial on how to build
I love The Sims, but I amterrible at building. Just truly awful. So I end up downloading a house from the gallery and trying to modify it to meet my needs, but I never truly get what I want. I would love to understand how people both build these beautiful floorplans and decorate so creatively. If anyone knows of a good resource, I'd be grateful!
EgonVM'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!
Sims 4 Scenarios & Inconsistent Plotline
To start off, wow. I've been away from the forums for a while, because the last time I was here it was on the Sims forums, now it's EA forums. Anyway, back to my title, so I'm playing the "parents abducted by 👽 aliens " scenario & I get notifications outside of that, one in particular in relation to theGrowing Together pack, where there's a notification from the parents about their children not visiting them, usually in reference to adult children. But in this case I'm dealing with a teenager & a child & the parents are supposed to have been abducted on an alien planet, so there shouldn't be much interference or presence from them. Anyway, just something I wanted to put out there. In case anyone has or had a similar issue.
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 ;)
Is there a way to regenerate attraction?
Hey so I've very recently gotten the new pack and I really like the attraction feature. I'm currently playing rotating 5 families with the main ones I'm focus on being a group of teens. My little issue though is that they all generated attractions to each other before I was able to go in and set what they should be attracted to. So now I've got the two who are meant to be soulmates thinking the other is major ugly. I thought this would be an easy fix by going in and changing what they like, but despite changing their attractions they've kept the same opinions even though the other sim meets 100% of their standards. Is there a way I'm missing to regenerate a sims attraction levels?List of Traits in The Sims 4
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 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.
