Outdoor retreat refresh
Can we pretty please get a refresh for Outdoor retreat? I love granite falls so much but some of the recent packs and updates are making it borderline obsolete in my gameplay. First and foremost, granite falls needs a world map update, because some of the textures and detailing in the world don't look polished, just in general, not to mention compared to current pack standards. There's also a lot of blocky areas that need smoothed out. It would be lovely if the lake portion was swimmable, it would give the world more activities to do. Secondly, I think herbalism and collectibles from the pack need more integration. For plants I wish more meals (or drinks) could be made out of them. It would make them feel a little more worth getting if you don't use herbalism. It would be cool if using the toxic plants to make the meal could lead to sickness or even death. Could even reuse the animations from eating pufferfish nigiri. For insects I really just wish you could collect them in other worlds in some fashion. Initially I was thinking it could be spread out spawners like how the food stalls from Seasons are around in every world. So like ladybug spawners in willow creek, stick bugs in oasis springs, rainbow variants can only be found in the sylvian glade etc. But if you don't wanna go that route then at least give us some of those decorative world effects like the butterfly effects from adventure awaits. I also wish the insects from this pack were available as options to keep in the insect farms from eco lifestyle. Herbalism honestly I'm not sure how you would integrate it more I just know it feels so disconnected and with a lot of the elixirs it feels easier to use other methods to get the same effects. Like using spellcaster potions instead. Maybe add some more elixirs with unique effects? I don't know for sure, I just know the only reason I ever use them is for fertility elixirs, and I buy those off of plopsy lol Thirdly, I wish the "go hiking" option wasn't just limited to Granite falls. I know having the hiking option when your sim lives in a major city doesn't make sense but in some neighborhoods (like the ones in gibbi point), it would be nice especially with how large some of the worlds are getting. Lastly, for new additions, besides the (possible) changes listed above, a new aspiration or 2, some more swatches added to the existing items, maybe even a new item like porch swings or something. Some out of box ideas maybe a mosquito born disease you can only get in Granite falls, small all terrain vehicles, a new sport activity, maybe a new pet option like snakes or something you could feed insects too. This doesn't really cover all the ideas I have for what a refresh of this game pack would look like, but I just a have a attachment to this pack, and I would really like to see it improved so it is more on par with the current standards of game packs. I know you guys are focusing on bug fixes and stuff for now, but I really hope someone reads this and takes it into consideration. Thanks.The South African EA Skate community needs and wants this so bad
Good Morning from South Africa to EA Games.Everyone is aware about Jason Vanporppol who skateboarded across Africa from Uganda to Cape Town.He did it for kids who don't have the means to afford skateboarding gear.If EA would incorporate him into the game,I think the South Africa Skate community would be buzzing pretty quickly.He is so loved by our county and he is am inspiration to skateboarding.Local is lekker!!
Need for Speed Payback (ea.com/unable-to-connect) Check Internet Connection)
So in short my EA account & PlayStation account are linked yet every time I load up Need for Speed Payback an play online after several years of being in the military and I wanted to show my Wife one of my favorite games. Yet for some reason EA Support has tried absolutely everything to help me play again an yet still nothing works at all. Does anyone have anything that might be able to help. An I mean some real technical work. We've tried deleting user profile, Internet connection, DNS and MTU changes and even rebuilding the data base and clear cache data ECT. Nothing is working and man I just want to play this game. I truly enjoyed Need for Speed Payback and want to play it again. Any ideas?The Grove Pack Legacy Challenge (Updated 6-09-2026)
Hi and welcome to my return to sim story writing! I am doing my rendition of rosannatxt's "Pack Legacy Challenge." Below are links to Rosannatxt's Challenge and my story respectively. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Simming! I'm back after a hiatus! Generation two will be done rotation-style and in each of the three Grove sibling's perspectives. Enjoy! Pack Legacy Rules and Guidelines James Turner Disable Packs Tool ------------------------------------ To start: The Grove Legacy: Humble Beginnings Ch. 1 Current Chapter: Liam Goth 2.5 Note: Rotation is Fisher, Hazel, Harper and Liam Goth *Exception-the story gets a bit out of order rotationally starting with Harper and Hazel at chapter 2.3. However, the story is syntactically correct.
Separate muscle/fat sliders
Can we be able to use muscles and fat sliders spearetedly on Base Game? Like only arms or torso? I think this would help to create more specific and unique bodies for sims and give us, players, more customization. The team could go with an easy way (arms, legs and torso) or a extended way (left/right upper/low arm, chest, abs, backs, etc.) Some references from TS2 console version where we could change the proportion of specific body parts:
Moochellie Makes - 2nd Entry
Hello, Sim family!! I fiiiiiinally finished another Simspired sewing project. I'm not gonna lie, this projects had me beat. I started it around Jan/Feb, made good progress, then came the fitting. Only thing is, the fabric I used is prone to terrible fraying. So when I tried to take it apart to adjust the size, the fabric basically disintegrated. Then I spent some time trying to figure out how to work around it so that I still have an in tact garment. Day and night I obsessed over it until I finally decided to just scrap it completely and start over again. I've been sewing for almost 20 years and very seldom does a sewing project beat me into the ground, LOL. After moths of working on the perfect garment, I present to you the newest addition to my wardrobe. A dress from Seasons... At first glance I was confused by the structure. Considering the bodice crosses over from the left side, but the shirt's front left side hem looks like it overlaps onto the back, I was like how in the plumbob does this wrap dress work?????? Until closer inspection I "decided" that this isn't a wrap dress and just a plain dress with a basic waist seam 😆 After staring from scratch I opted for a scuba spandex just in case I had to adjust the fitting again, which I did, but it was easier with the stretch fabric because I didn't have to use a side zipper for it. I love stretch fabrics for this very reason. You can make dresses that you can just slip on 🎉 I love the similarities that came out in the finished product - the draping in the bodice just above the waist seam and the gathering around the waist of the skirt. The only thing I deviated away from the Sim dress was the length of the skirt hem. Because I want to wear this dress to work I didn't think the height of the left side skirt was work-appropriate. Still, I'm thrilled with how it came out. And just with the last Sim sewing project, I just HAD to get the matching shoes. A pair of sling sandals in orange 😍 Well, that's it for now. I already chose the next garment to make. Hint... It's a blue dress from Horse Ranch. I already have the pattern set aside, now I just need to get the fabric 🤩🤩🤩

Multiplayer!!!
I know this has been brought up dozens of times, but I just want to reiterate how GREAT it would be to add a multiplayer element to the Sims 4. It doesn't have to be a mandatory thing, and it doesn't have to be with people you don't know, but it would be so much fun to be able to play live online with friends, ESPECIALLY crossplatform. One of my friends plays the Sims on console only, and they were telling me that back in the day, the Sims 2 for console had a multiplayer option (I play the Sims on PC only, so this was news to me). Either way, the technology is there, and a lot of fans want this, so why not make it possible to do without mods?
