Different packs
Hi everyone! I’m a long time sims 4 player bought it when it first came out and have been here for all the expansions and stuff etc. packs but am I the only one who would love to have the ability to run my own resort? Checking in and checking out guest. Housekeeping the whole shabang? That and more vacation worlds? I’d love to see an Egypt vacation location again like in the sims 3. I was absolutely obsessed with the Egypt world and would just absolutely love to see it come to sims 4. I find it to be so entertaining to collect all the different collectables and getting a full set and would love to get new vacation areas to be able to collect new items.Make LandGrab, Alto and SPIRE Apartments Fully Customizable
Hi Sims Team and fellow players, I’m Tommy Hunt username Randy Orton148 and I have a suggestion that could enhance creative building and gameplay in The Sims 4 turning the LandGrab Alto and SPIRE apartments into customizable penthouses. This feature would let us fully redesign these iconic apartments while keeping the rest of their buildings functional, combining luxury with flexibility. Builders and storytellers alike could create stunning penthouse designs that match their gameplay goals. Keywords like ApartmentCustomization #PenthouseBuilding CreativeFreedom might resonate with others who also want this update. I’ve seen similar ideas shared on social media, and I think the EA forums are the perfect place to gather community support. If this is something you’d love to see, let’s discuss it here so the Sims Team can hear us loud and clear! Tommy Hunt
Looking to purchase some packs, need some reccommendations
TLDR: looking for well thought out opinions on some of the more recent packs. This question is aimed at people who own some of the packs already because I want to hear your thoughts on why or why not you would recommend it. I'm a long time sims player and I like to reward myself with a pack or two every once in a while (usually when I accomplish something really difficult) so I've amassed several of the packs. It's time for a reward so I'm trying to figure out what I want. I haven't really been paying attention to the new releases so I'm not sure what to try next before the Black Friday sale. So please help by telling me your faves. My playstyle revolves around building and rotational play. I have a few worlds where I've almost rebuilt everything in the save file and created complex multigenerational family trees. I am in my cottagecore era so lately my sims usually find themselves running a farm or a bakery. I like family play but I also like more interesting and adventurous stuff. When I look at packs, I look at gameplay and BB items because I could not care less about CAS. I am that person that will get sims off the gallery or randomize them. My favorite packs have been Cottage Living (obviously), Romantic Garden, Get Together, Jungle Adventure, and the two plant kits (bc I am a shameless plant mom irl so all my sims have to be as well). My biggest regrets are Snowy Escape, Vampires, and Dream Home Decorator. While some of the BB stuff is great, the gameplay falls flat for me personally and I don't use them a lot. I am definitely going to get the Castle Kit but I would like to try out one or two of these packs: Horse Ranch: the nectar brewing system seems cool but also horses and goats would complete my farm dreams. But I had similar thoughts about Snowy Escape and I regret getting that pack. Life and Death: It's new so I know there's a lot of hype but beyond the hype, is it something that's worthwhile having in your game long term? Bust the Dust: I love the idea of dust bunnies and more chores for my sims but is it still buggy? I know when it came out it was massively bugged. Moschino Stuff: I've avoided it because I know it's focused on CAS but everyone on youtube raves about the photography aspect being great for family gameplay. Is this true or is it just youtuber nonsense? For Rent: I don't know if I'm super thrilled with the BB and I missed the hype when it came out but I did hear the rental system was bugged. As someone who does build a lot of townhouses and apartment buildings, I think this would be great but is the gameplay actually playable? And how is the world? Book Nook: I currently use cc for wall to wall, floor to ceiling bookshelves that are in a different style and love them but I'm concerned about the glitching. Do these slot together the way the shelving in Dream Home Decorator does? Because those get randomly deleted all the time so it's really annoying. Lovestruck: I know nothing about this pack but I've used the SimDa Dating mod before and disliked it so I don't think I'd like this pack but I am curious to hear about your opinions on it, specifically anything that surprised you. Crystal Creations: I'm not super into CAS and when I am in CAS I definitely don't utilize any of the jewelry but I like the idea of making jewelry and running a jewelry shop using GTW. BB also looks amazing. What I want to know more about is the crystal gameplay. Things I would love to hear your opinions on: Gameplay: tell me what you loved, what you hated, what you're mildly annoyed at, etc. Did anything get boring for you? Did something surprise you? Build/Buy: What items from the packs do you use the most? Which ones do you use the least? Do the items fit well with any other TS4 content? World: if the pack comes with the world, how satisfied are you with it? Is fun to explore? What kinds of things are there to interact with? What are your favorite lots to build on? Are there any special collectibles? Lot type: if there is a new lot type, what do you think about it? Do you use it in your normal gameplay or is it something you use rarely? Bugs: Are there any bugs in the pack that I should worry about? I know the team eventually fixes most of the bugs but until then, I'd prefer to put off purchasing something that's extremely buggy (like with Wedding Stories). Playstyle: tell me your playstyle and how the pack works with your playstyle. Do you find yourself using it a lot or not at all?
Infinite saving/loading screens
I originally started having this issue after the September update and saw other people were having the same issue and followed all the advice given. updated all mods removed all CC started a new save (with no CC) removed off-the-grid lot types switched back to DX9 Unfortunately, none of these worked so I decided to wait until the next patch and try again. After the October patch, I updated everything and it's still happening. Whether I'm loading/travelling with a family, exiting CAS, or saving when building on a community lot. I'm completely out of ideas of what I can do at this point; I have plenty of space on my PC and while loading can be slow sometimes, I know that's because I have quite a few packs and CC and I've never minded. But the infinite screens are getting too much, I can't play the game at all without running in to one and I end up losing any progress I've made. Really hoping someone can help or this bug can be lessened at least in the next update. 🤞
Pack Refreshes and More Pet Options
I would really love some pack refreshes on some older packs that were a bit bare bones compared to the more current ones filled with many options to explore. Get to work aliens for example have very little to do on planet sixam and there isn't a lot of gameplay options for them, plus more jobs you can join your sim on would be awesome, more things to do with vampires would be wonderful as well, and I know we have goats and sheep bit why no piggies? Everyone loves piggies. And we need more small pet options like different birds, snakes, so forth with lots of interactions to make it extra fun. Just my take on it.
