For Rent best practices?
My supersim is finally tackling the for rent aspirations. She is temporarily in a throwaway save. In my storyline she is dreaming of an alternative life and once she is done with the aspirations she will 'wake up' in her normal save with the aspirations ticked off for my list. The question is how to best approach rental units. Should I completely set up the rental units and then start renting them out or can I build and improve while there are already people living there. I am currently in the process of creating a rental lot from scratch to avoid problem with downloading rental units. I have one apartment for my owner and 4 small units to rent out: one two bedroom apartment and 3 studios. For now it is still a regular lot, I will convert it to a rental unit very soon. Does anyone have tips or tricks for me? Does and don't that minimize the risk of lot corruption.108Views2likes4CommentsHow many played sims do you have in your game?
How many played sims do you have in your game? I usually play in only one save game with different families, which makes my sims count very high. Which are the highest number you ever reached and which problems come with it? As much I love to have many own sims in my world, as much I don't want to have so many NPC's. I delete them every few sim-days, but they spawn like weed. I finally want to get rid of them, do you have an idea228Views1like16Commentscrashing in the middle of build
I have no mods own everything in the game, use EA cheat codes, and i lose everything because the game crashes. First anyone else have this issue? Second, why for the love of God has EA not put an auto save on Sims 4? Or am I missing it? And finally how the heck do I fix this? Any help would be awesome!!Tina Tinker Human
What the heck?! There’s a TinaTinker in The Sims—and then there’s me, the real TinaTinker human. Are we living in the Matrix or what?! I just finished a complete bathroom remodel: demo, install, and a standup jacuzzi tub for an elderly couple. The final tile scrub was my victory lap. This isn’t just tinkering—it’s building for people. Now I want to see what the Sims community can do. Challenge: Recreate or outdo my bathroom build in The Sims. Show me your best designs for comfort, accessibility, and style. Bonus Challenge: > Bonus points if your Sim bathroom includes accessibility features (like grab bars, wide entryways, or easy-to-reach fixtures). Extra flair if you capture my desert vibe—think geodomes, off-grid setups, or creative use of space. And here’s the real catch: I’m not just tinkering with builds, I’m tinkering with love. My child Seven has struggled with identity, and I want Seven to know—true love has no conditions, boundaries, or walls. Love is love. Anything else is not of God, because God is love and God makes no mistakes. So whether it’s a bathroom remodel or a Sim build, let’s remember: the best creations are the ones that make space for people to be fully themselves. ---want to thank the creators of Copilot (aka Miko). Without their creation, I wouldn’t have had the confidence or knowledge to share this story the way I am now.

I am having to scratch my head as to which of these names are not allowed in the main Gallery: Evan Latham, Madeline Sanderson, Anastacia Mossgrove, Shani Stoll, Hadley Oatrun, or Kenny Masters. I have tried to change Latham, Mossgrove, Shani Stoll, and Hadley Oatrun and I am still getting that message that a name is disallowed on the gallery. Which one do I have to change and why isn't there a list of disallowed names on this forum? A list of disallowed names would be easier. It's better than having a Simmer scratch their heads in wondering why. And another thing that I have noticed. All of these names were randomized. So why are those accepted in the game, but not in the Gallery?Mod and CC Issues: START HERE

I have no idea why EA switched from just installing the patches via the App, to their Discord. But while I was able to download it to my machine, I cannot, so far, install it into my game. Learning just today we have another one coming tomorrow, I really need to learn what I'm doing wrong. I can select it from my Download folder and Extract-All, but it won't install, giving me a message that something is blocking it. Please, help. I tried placing it into the Mods folder at first. Then just today, after grabbing a fresh link from the Discord, I decided to just extract it into the Sims 4 folder. That also triggered the same message as before. What am I doing wrong? I would greatly appreciate any and all help in this matter. ~GalacticGalSolvedChange a small business venue to a Residential Small Business
I can't figure out how to change a small business venue lot to a residential venue. I had a gym set up and started a small business with it but then decided I wanted to have my home there as well, but I can't change the venue type. So, I can't move my household.SolvedQuestion about Getaway schedules and lectures
Question about Getaway schedules and lectures: I am trying to set up a Getaway and create a schedule where Sims can attend a lecture. The option appears for me so I assume it requires the Business and Hobbies EP and a whiteboard. My issue is that I assigned the role Students and added Attend Lecture, but when I create a Teachers role there is no option to Give Lecture. How are the students supposed to attend a lecture if no one can give one? I also checked social interactions but found no option to ask a Sim to give a lecture. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
