[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. 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>
Do your sims partners lack personality?
Okay, so I was just updating my sims legacy note book to add in my information from my gameplay but I’ve just realised most (if not all) of my sims partners are really one dimensional. I always find myself focusing on just one partners family rather than both or don’t focus on my sims partners storylines (unless it related to their relationship). don’t get me wrong, some generations I have been able to focus on both, but 90% of the time they don’t have anything going on 😂😭Story line ideas?
The sims community is so creative so somebody’s bound to have some ideas 😂 ive been playing with a “legacy” sims family for about 3 generations now (gen 3 are having their kids now) and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for storylines to play out? ive been really enjoying playing with occult sims a lot (lot of vampires on one side of my family tree and some spellcasters). I’ve got a vampire werewolf love story I’m playing out atm (they now do romantic actions together autonomously 🥰), and they now have 3 children that I’m hoping to kinda focus the story on, but not really sure what I could do with them? ive had a few ideas to convert forgotten hollow into a “uni campus” (move all my young adult occults to forgotten hollow and play about with the university pack a bit). But not really sure about that idea anymore. So please literally if you have any ideas (even if you think they’re silly), I would really appreciate it! I don’t want to get bored again after gen 3 😂🙏
I've missed you all!
Hi Simmers, I just thought I'd share something personal. Two years ago, I was in a coma and woke up completely paralyzed. During that time, I missed The Sims — and this community — more than I can express. I had to stop reading the forums after a few months because it was just too hard. The Sims community has always been such a big source of comfort and a creative outlet for me. Yesterday, for the first time in over two years, I was finally able to play The Sims 4 again. I actually cried during the loading screen. Like full on runny nose, headache inducing crying. LOL It was like coming home, or getting a tiny part of the old me back. My birthday is coming up next week, and I’m so incredibly happy to not have to miss out on my favorite birthday tradition again this year. I'm gonna grab a slice a cake and burn some poor sims house down LOL I’ve really missed being part of this community. I probably won’t post much since typing is still difficult and painful, but I’m so happy to be here again — even if I’m just quietly lurking in the background. 💛 Thanks for being here. cass ps, can someone give me advice on what to start saving up for? I missed 4 (ish) expansion packs and tons of kits and stuff. Recommendations please!
POSTING THIS HERE BECAUSE I HAVE NO CHOICE!!!
I've uninstalled and deleted all folders, I've never had mods, there are no screen capture software active, I reinstalled the game and still CTRL-Shift-c and Shift-leftclick is not working. CTRL-Shift-window key-c also does not work, the cheat bar comes up but it flickers and the moment to let go of the keys the cheat bar disappears. There is no way to contact anyone anymore about this problem. I can't put in a ticket, I can't "Start a chat" with EAhelp, I went in circles yesterday and no solution. May someone please be able to contact or protest this issue so it gets fixed. If not imma just be a Karen and report this problem to the BBB. WHAT COMPANY GETS RID OF ALL METHODS OF SUPPORT AND COMMUNICATION WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF YOUR PRODUCTS!!!!!!??????????
I want LS but question romance decline
Just how much does romance with Lovestruck decline in your game? I honestly play 1 game only, meaning I typically 'resume' my game. I create a new save after each update and delete the 'old' save. I have always played this way. I am CC/MOD free. I play with aging off and sometimes will play 1 family for many sim years. So... just how much do I have to care about the romance levels using Lovestruck? Thank you in advance for your input!
