Replacing existing townies with gallery ones
Hi everyone! Recently got into playing sims 4 again and apart from my new households, I am into refreshing the worlds and existing households a bit. But I wanna make sure I am doing it right though and I need your help! I wanna refresh/give a makeover to existing townies so that they look better(both them and their houses) but I am not good with CAS so I wanna replace them from gallery sims. The thing is that I am not sure how do it successfully , without creating duplicates, but also making sure that they have the same aspirations, relationships and skills when I end up playing. Any help would be appreciated 🎀 ( I don’t use mods or CC, just some owned dlc and also cheats)
Moving from old to new save - worth it?
I started one of my generational saves around December 2019 when my parents gifted me Discover University for Christmas, and I've been playing with it ever since. Lately, I've been thinking about the possibility of moving my whole gameplay shebang from my old save to a new one. As in: creating a fresh save in 2026 now, saving all the houses in the old save and replacing them in this new save, saving my still living families to the Library and dropping them in the worlds. It would be tedious and definitely take a lot of fiddling with settings but I'm thinking it might be worth it. The question is - is it, though? Pros of moving: no bugs that have been fixed by now but only on new saves (AKA post-fix) and there's a lot of them, updated/upgraded gameplay mechanics and townies etc., a fresh and more stable save file (mine's gonna be 7yo soon), I've mainly focused on one-two generations at a time so there's not much worry about NPCs and background characters. Cons of moving: any gameplay/world-changing progress I've made (Strangerville infection, Sulani clean-up, Evergreen Harbor eco status...es just to name a few), keeping track of the sims' relationships and their family tree (my biggest concern - will two separate households of the same family know each other after being placed in a new world?), new bugs. Some pros are better than other ones, some cons are definitely bigger than other ones... So, that begs the question - is it worth considering? Would all that work help or just make me more angry at the game? Has anyone here tackled this issue before? How was your experience? I play on PC and I almost never use mods so things like moving CC or anything are not a problem I worry about. Entertaining all answers, it's not a time-sensitive problem. I wasn't sure if this should go here or into General Discussion but here goes!! :)

How to play employed sim from different household Businesses and Hobbies
I have two households. Household A owns a business and employed a sim from Household B. When I play with Household B, I can’t find a way for a sim who’s an employee to go to work. I’ve tried to do that by playing with Household B and visiting the business lot, then controlling business owner with control any sim mod and trying to open the business but the business panel was empty so this didn’t work out. I’m assuming the only way I can play the employee sim and for him to be able to go to work is to play Household A, open the business and control the employee. But I was wondering if there’s any other way? Moving employee to household A isn’t an option.Still glitching since 5/12/26 update
Anyone else still having issues playing live mode and CAS? I don’t even use mods. I’m frustrated. Here is a list of things that have happened in my game recently since the update yesterday: Male sim glitches when playing as a parent. The child either clings to him weirdly or his action panel has multiple actions pop up and won’t stop adding to the queue. Sim newborn and toddler’s needs are being weird. For example, because the male sim glitches, I get the mom to do the task with the child instead. My child’s needs for fun and energy are “dangerously” low and I tried putting her to sleep and she won’t go to sleep. So I can’t get her energy bar to go back up. Also my nanny and butler were helping take care of the kids but then it started messing them up too. “Slenderman” child glitch is happening to my kid now when trying to do an action… ifykyk. CAS keeps popping into tutorial mode even though I don’t click it so I can’t add more sims or animals to my household in CAS. I like adding pond effects to my ponds and fountains like the swans, ducks, fireflies and dragonflies but for some reason, they aren’t showing now during live mode. They’re still there in the pond on build mode but not live mode. There are some other things but that’s pretty much the gist right now. Is anyone else experiencing similar issues or what do I do? I’ve repaired and cleaned out my cache multiple times. When my sim glitches like that I don’t even save the game and just exit it to try and restart where it was last saved but it still glitches pretty quickly after restarting the game. I do want to point out that I do use sims from the gallery that have max skills but says the creator didn’t use cc’s or mod’s, cause it’s easier when starting out a household imo. It takes too long for them to build the skills otherwise lol. The game was working fine up until late last night, eastern standard US time.
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 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.
