Q&A: Royalty & Legacy
#AD (just in case this counts as social media) I was invited to join the CFE (not final build) opportunity for The Sims 4: Royalty & Legacy. Thank you to the EA Creator Network for this chance to answer questions for you about the pack! I will be taking and answering mainly questions about gameplay - Skills/Traits/Aspirations/Career/Venues/Systems/Collections/Lore - and anything else you guys want to know about! I did test with ALL PACKS in as I believe this is yet another pack with cross-compatibility possibilities related to the various systems. (Please Note: Testing with other packs in is unsupported before regular Early Access, so may be extra buggy.) Testing was/will continue to be done on a mix of fresh CAS Sims and premades, to see lore and experience different levels if they are present. Format will be similar to past Q&As where I have links to each subject and add more info to each based on questions asked and as I discover things through gameplay. I can't start posting right away this time due to the embargo, but will be continuing to take notes/screenshots and will post info when I can. P.S. - I have a Creator Code, so if you find my Q&A useful you might consider it as an option at checkout. Using my code gives me a small commission (5% regularly, 7% during sales) and can even save you a little bit of money on TS4 DLC during sales (normally 5%). My code is EmmaVane. Just enter the code on the the payment screen where Promo Codes normally go. Thank you, EA for this opportunity.

Help with Meditation Labyrinth?
I tried building a meditation labyrinth in my game that is similar to one I saw IRL. I used lavender bushes to define the "walls" defining the path, but it didn't work the way I'd hoped. A meditation labyrinth is not a maze. There is a single path that starts at the perimeter, winds its way around the maze, and ends in the center. My goal is to have a Sim follow that path from the outside to the center. However, when I use lavender bushes, my Sim just walked over/through the bushes, rather than following the path. What is the least obtrusive, most "garden-like" thing I can use to define a path like this, and have the Sims actually follow the path? Lavender bushes weren't "wall-like" enough to work, even if that is what was used in the one I saw IRL. For reference, I'm playing a vanilla game with no packs, cc, or mods (yet). And here's the simple labyrinth design that I based mine on. Thanks in advance.
How can I give an NPC their artwork without gifting?
Playing a For Rent aspiration, and have a tenant who used the communal easel. My first instinct was to put it in my Sims' inventory and then gift it to the tenant, but she was offended that I gave her a gift she had made. So, how else might I give her the painting she created?
Annoying Gnomes from Enchanted by Nature
I have the new expansion pack for fairies and I’m aware that gnomes were a big part of the marketing for some reason. I’m currently playing in San Myshuno in a family that has nothing fairy related going on, yet these stupid gnomes keep appearing in my home. Sometimes they clean, other times they break everything in my house. I’m aware that in the game options there’s a way to turn off things like dust bunnies and whatnot but why doesn’t an option exist to turn off these dumb gnomes? If I’m missing something, someone please enlighten me because I’m so sick of having to call the repair service every time these gnomes appear. I’ve been dragging and selling them when they show up but not before they break everything. It’s honestly just a really annoying feature. I can understand them showing up in Innisgreen, but in any other neighborhood is just plain ridiculous. I honestly don’t even see the appeal.Hunting for the guinea pig infection
So I don't play SIMS, but I am interested in the "guinea pig disease" from a computing history perspective - it's an interesting meta twist on the virus concept. As I understand it, there were at least two generations of this. SIMS1 : The "Guinea Pig Disease" that you caught from being bitten by a guinea pig if you didn't keep the cage tidy. It was introduced in the "Living Large/Living It Up" expansion. I read somewhere that this disease was later patched to become less deadly. SIMS4: "Rabid Rodent Fever" caught in a similar way. It was introduced in the "My First Pet Stuff" expansion. I'm specifically looking for infected lot/household/character/save files to study. Anyone have a clue as to where I can find such things?
Conflicting Block Clusters - Nightmare
Hi. Recently got back into Sims 4 to try and design a real home for a story. But I ended up with two homes, split in two, because one is slightly raised, and other is not. I've searched for a tutorial online, for that simple house, it made sense, I am trying something a little more complex. Why not just join the walls and call it even ? Or select halfwalls so it equals the same amount along the top of the height of the adjoining building to be the same house. I don't understand, it's a massive set back to move EVERYTHING out of the way, just to do that weird bug with having various platform parts of a house. A simple house, makes sense - but this one I'm building, I'm still building it, and this really ticked me off. Can a Dev/Admin send help or a patch please ? Going insane. P.S. I don't know if there is an option, but the condensed menu where I have to scroll until I find something compared to seeing the entire build menu selection but stragging out or draging down the window would help too. Very tired, - C
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.
