[Discussion] Trait Combinations, Lifestyles & Item/Object Pairing Investigation
Every once in a while I see on the EA forums or Reddit there is a Trait Combinations thread. May it be what is your favourite, what is the most chaotic and what is the best. But most of the times I see one of a few things end up being the conclusion, 1: is that traits play no real part or no real difference in the game, 2: people choose randomized and stick with it, or 3: they opt out of the most detested traits. As I have only been playing Sims 4 since L&D aka earlier this year, I haven't really had a chance to have these conversations and I just look up old zombie threads most of which do not have much on the new traits. So I propose a small community collaboration project reporting findings on certain trait combinations with or without Lifestyle or item/object support. Anyone can report findings! To make this easier to report/review let's use a response format: Traits: <list traits used here, feel free to include occult type, reward, aspiration, etc. traits> Lifestyles: <if used, by cheats or earning properly> Items/Objects: <list of items on Sim or objects place for Sim to help encourage trait synergy> Plan: <what you think or hope will happen> Results: <what actually happened> Rating: <out of 10 how did the combination fair?> Conclusion: <Any additional thoughts>
Rewamp the postcards
I would love if you could rewamp the postcard-system so that my Sims could send postcards home when visiting other worlds. Either just by using a postbox at a house, or even better - in a postbox for such use in the world. It feels so strange to hussle for postcards through the computer, but if my sim could send postcards to themself or friends, and collect them, that would be awesome!Edit extended Family Trees
I'd love it if in manage worlds you can edit family trees, so you can update families that are added per pack/gallery/etc. Many people love the family trees of the main Sim families, like the Goth, Crumplebottom, Bachelor and Caliente families which are connected together throughout the series. So many marriages, cousins, etc. And allow TBA/placeholders for unknowns and not yet added to the game Sims. Also allow for NPCs we cannot control so they are not left out. This would help with non-canon romancing with extended family from happening. edit: Last year made templates for the Sims wiki for family trees. And set up the cross-over legacies for the Goth/Crumplebottom/Bachelor/Caliente Family Tree. For example on why we need a more complex family tree system.
Family tree
I really enjoy using the family tree, especially for big families, however, I would absolutely love it if it could be improved so that it is also possible to view in-laws without having to click on a specific person. For example, if I am viewing a grandparents family, I wish we could see from their view their children and who their children have married and that person's siblings and parents. Also, if this is possible I would like to see the same thing in the family section of the relationships tab. This would be extremely useful for big family get togethersPlease Make Mystical and Disruptive Compatible with Macabre
Ever since I heard about the new Mystical Trait, I was so excited to use with my favourite trait Macabre. I just think for a dark fairy or dark spellcaster it be an great complimentary combo. But you "conflicting traits" blocked them... To me the affinity of and to the occults and the affinity of death is ideal for the darker occults and sims. Edit: just noticed Disruptive can't be Macabre either, like wut? Edit, edit: I decided to fix/tweak the tune files in the meantime. If you are interested (the mod is here) I saw no issues when initially testing, as it is just file tuning, but be aware as modding and CC may have adverse effects to your game, and I am just an amateur modder.
Sims 4 Ocean Exploration expansion pack [Aquariums, scuba diving and houseboats]
Underwater Diving areas There are underwater diving areas that Sims can explore and that are interactive and actually visible to the player. Players can find treasure chests, explore underwater caves or sunken shipwrecks, harvest seaweed and catch fish swimming around. The fish that have been caught can be brought to the surface and exhibited in an aquarium. There is a scuba diving skill. The higher the skill level, the longer a Sim can stay underwater and the less depressurizing time a Sim has. Aquarium There is an aquarium in town that you can stock with fish and other marine life like colorful sea slugs. These can be caught while scuba diving. There are giant aquarium tanks that you can stock with fish. There is an aquarium tunnel object that Sims can walk through, and it can be stocked with fish as well. Aquariums are a new type of community venue. There are saltwater tanks (with corals and rocks) and freshwater tanks (with kelp and wood branches) Houseboat Houseboats are a new type of home that Sims can live in. Houseboats are editable in Build Mode like a regular lot, except you can't add a basement. Whale watching There are whales jumping out of the ocean that you can go watch with your houseboat. You can offer paid whale watching tours or diving tours with your houseboat by clicking on the tourist information center. Driftwood furniture Collect driftwood at the beach and craft new driftwood furniture using the woodworking table from base game and Handiness skill. Expanded mermaids Mermaids should get their own skill tree like all other occults and more scary looking like Sirens. Sirens could also be a new type of occult. To expand Mermaids they should get… Aquatic ears New mermaid tails Seaweed hair Fish scale skin tone that makes the whole body have fish scales Barnacles on body Scaly arms and legs while on land Fin on head (instead of hair) Sims can become a Siren by getting bitten by a Siren. (Like vampires) Mermaids/ Sirens can drink blood like vampires, but don‘t need to More fish-like appearance Fish-like eyes Freezing abilities Stronger manipulation powers The Siren/ Mermaid skill tree Australian world The town is inspired by Australian beach towns like Airlie Beach in Australia. It consists of two marinas where houseboats are located. New collections Sea slugs: Verco's nudibranch Black-margined sea slug Leaf sea slug Clown nudibranch Orange side-gilled slug Chromodoris nudibranch New fishes Harvest edible seaweed Seaweed grows underwater and you can harvest it and eat it. Shipwreck Exploration There are underwater shipwrecks that you can explore, unlock doors by finding keys in storage chests, by being gifted keys from a local Sim etc. Metal debris blocks paths. Sims must use a sledgehammer to break through metal debris. Requires Fitness skill. Sharks live inside these shipwrecks and your Sim needs to hide from them.SOMEONE PLEASE HELP problem with psn linked accounta
First time ever on a fourm. Super desperate. I’m just trying to link my ea account to my psn but it says it’s already been linked which I don’t even think I did. I got this message: Your accounts can’t be linked because your PlayStation™Network account Yahmanachi already linked to your EA Account for db*****@disabled.ea.com. An EA Account can only be linked to one PlayStation™Network account in its lifetime. why is it a ea domain. thanks.Legacy storylines?
Hey everyone! I’m about to kick off the start of my generation 4 of my sims legacy (I’m not really playing a legacy challenge but I do set myself little challenges to complete while I’m playing with certain households (e.g. one of my sims owns a restaurant and we’re trying to get it to 5 stars). I have so many sims in my generation 4, I’ve been playing rotationally between my gen 1 sims children (most are elders now 😭). But, I wanna spice up my gameplay for my gen 4 sims! Most of my other generations I haven’t been ready to start until they’re YA’s but am very excited to hop back into playing teens. so my question is do you have any ideas for side characters I can create to fit into this world? My boyfriend recommended making football teams (which I’ve already done, 2 rival 5-a-side teams), but any other ideas? I haven’t been making over my townies while I’ve been playing because I focused on the vampire side of my legacy family for most of generation 2 and 3 (I’ve learnt my lesson now tho 😂). Any advice, tips or ideas would be greatly appreciated 🙏🙏🙏
