Shitty old clothes only. No shelter except tents. No fire unless someone is freezing to death. Nasty-ass public toilets for extra suffering (and icy cold sponge baths). No food unless they forage it themselves. They're about to learn a hard lesson, and suffering will be their teacher.
They'll be freed when their groundings are over. Or when their angry sentiments end. Or when I decide its time for the king to grant his grandkids some mercy. Or when I damn well please. Fuck if I know. Fix your shit EA 😂
First week was fine, but now there's a message that says something along the lines of, "you must claim the previous week's awards to get new rewards" and the button is greyed out.
How do you freaking break a login event?
So not only do EA update the game every two weeks at this point, now we can’t play offline so I’m being forced to update. I’m so sick and tired of this. I don’t mind updates but when it’s coming almost every two weeks and I have to keep updating mods oh my God I just wanted to relax and now I can’t because EA decided oh no you must update your game.
Is it just me or is anybody else's paint from reference paintings loosing detail? I only noticed it recently because I love to take screenshots of my sims. The first one is from today and the second is from the end of April. Just wondering if this is normal or if I am missing something.
This is in a legacy save and those paintings were made in the 3rd. I am now on the 10th. Does thay have something to do with it?
I’m thinking abt getting one of these expansions, but I don’t know which. Im leaning towards hsy, but ive heard that it can be pretty buggy (i was hoping it wouldn’t be as bad in the big 26). The idea of sending a sim to college and playing their experience also interests me though.
I know there are some mods to fix some of the shortcomings from the dlcs and I can add stuff from the gallery to make the schools more appealing, but what would yall recommend?
Note: I am not a huge fan of rabbit holes, cuz I usually focus my gameplay on only one sim prior to getting married or having a kid, so that plays a big factor.
Anyways I appreciate yall taking the time to help me out, thanks!
i’m not even going to bother posting this in the main sims 4 sub since I know it will be taken down immediately, so I’m hoping somebody can help me here.
for a little over a week now, my game has been stuck on the loading screen when I try to start the game and play as my main sim on their home lot. I am sometimes able to play as a different sim on a different lot, but I can tell something is still wrong because all of the lots disappear in the game (they still show in the map view).
I have done every single troubleshooting method I have found recommended online. I’ve removed all my mods, I have removed the specified folders in the sims file on my computer, I even removed all the saves and tried to start totally fresh. The game ran normally for a bit then crashed when I tried to place a lot.
this is super disappointing and frustrating to me as I have put a ton of time and effort into all of my lots. I also went through a full very veggie challenge and was starting a new challenge with the next generation. I think this might be part of the issue, maybe the large family is too much for the game to handle on my laptop? I am able to play as other Sims unrelated to my main sim but if I try to start the game with one of their family members even, it will get stuck. It could also possibly be linked to a gallery lot that I placed, because I noticed I started having issues after I replaced a few different lots at once.
Any advice or help will be greatly appreciated, thank you so much!

So I have been playing for about a month, but I play on short lifespan, and I completely forgot that our Sims have to age up... This happened to me before and I don't know how to fix it now, but for some reason my Sims are not aging, and their birthdays are not showing. I tried fixing with MCCC and its still not working... My young adults should have aged 12 days ago and it's been new years... 😂 Plus, she gave birth...
Help would be appreciated, please. 😭❤️
I'm trying the 100 baby challenge for the first time. I never had before bc I hate, genuinely HATE infants and how buggy they are (seriously, who asked for them?), but the new update promised to fix that, so I started the save after updating bc I knew some of the fixes only applied to new saves.
Nothing's fixed, taking care of infants is still hell. Even specific bugs that were in the patch notes, like sims for some reason putting infants down before picking them up again, are still there. I genuinely had to download that joke "infants are objects" mod to make the game remotely playable, but it's not fun still. I might start just skipping the infant life stage entirely, but even getting them to blow out candles bugs out all the time :))))))
Why? Genuine question. I want to make a video about this on my page, but I’m scared of the backlash… Yes ai as a whole is an issue that needs to be addressed, but specifically the use of AI pfps or the virtual backdrops have REALLLY been irking me. Because.. it’ll literally be an ai picture of the simmer or a fucking ai picture of the simmer at a gaming desk… Like I actually know where you can get an image like that… and you have made it…. OR EVEN ASK SOMEONE TO MAKE IT FOR YOU. FFS! The amount of AI pfps I’ve seen when mfs can just open Canva really makes me SICK! Like whyyyyyy!! Now we can only assume you use ai for your content too yk?😭😭 Literally had to unfollow and remove a mutual because she made a post saying she asked chatgpt to make her into a sim and then asked ppl to make that sim and to upload it to the gallery…..
Like I hate to write ppl off and to keep community I know having conversations and explaining to people why their actions are harmful is the way to go. But it really irks me and feels like they’re saying.. idgaf fuck you.
Because no lies detected 😂😭
Ever since the buyout I've been having conflicting feelings about this game, while i think it's okay for me to play if I don't buy anything else from it, I just feel sad and guilty whenever I do so, so I've been like 4 months without playing it. I haven't even updated it to the in-game currency version of it.
While I wish it was easy for me to just stop, I always have this thought in the back of my mind of "Maybe I should play today", and this longing feeling never goes away. I've been playing almost daily for the last 8 years, so not being able to is almost uncomfortable for me. I just needed to vent.
Posting it here since they took it down from the other sub. Yes, I know this game sucks so I should find another game lol, any recommendations?
I’ve been logging in to get the free Bridgerton items (I love free stuff!) and I was really taken aback by the product descriptions. They’re so boring and lifeless and non-Sims-y!!! Why are they actually describing the product to me!!! That’s not what the product descriptions are supposed to do!!!
Obviously you can’t say for sure, but it sincerely sounds like a ChatGPT generated listing on a shopping site. Even if a human wrote them, they are SO much worse than the product descriptions used to be! Where’s the whimsy!!!!!!!!!!!

Image 2: Moonlit keepsake. Decorations. Forgotten in haste or dropped in a moment of excitement, this handkerchief carries with it a sense of intrigue and romance, serving as a silent witness to the joys and mysteries of the evening.

Image 4: Sealed love letter. Decorations. A carefully folded note sealed with mysterious wax and an enigmatic symbol. A hint of alluring perfume, teasing your senses and hinting at hidden passion. Preserving the words and amplifying intrigue.
Okay, okay. I don't know if it's a bad idea but I'm thinking about deleting almost every CC for Sims 4 that I have. Except hairstyles, lashes and some make-up.
Like I think Sims 4 "evolved" to more quality items over years and I have most of the DLCs, so I'm really thinking of deleting most of CCs. Tho there are still some CCs i really adore. What you guys think, should I play it with what is given? 😭
sry for bad English ✌️✌️🥹
So I made this no CC sim and decided to share her with the community. Most people were really complimentary, but this dude decided to throw out the same tired stereotype that’s constantly used to demean Black women by calling her “an ugly dude.”
And when I didn’t take the bait and get angry, it suddenly became “just a joke.”
And yeah, I know some people are gonna say “it’s just a sim, who cares?” but I think that misses the broader issue. It’s the insidious microaggressions hiding behind “dark humor” and “jokes.” How many times have Black women had “you look masculine” weaponized against them? So, when someone deliberately misgenders a clearly feminine Black sim, I recognized the pattern immediately.
Honestly, maybe I’m just getting old and crotchety, but I miss when the Sims community felt more welcoming and genuinely excited about diversity instead of increasingly hostile toward it.
Here’s hoping the Paralives community doesn’t end up going down the same road.
I've been playing the game offline for three or four years, finally logged back in specifically to get more tattoos from the gallery. And the gallery will sometimes work, but will often just say "no results found". Did some searching and found posts going back to 2024 with the exact same issue??? Is that just how it is now? How long has the gallery just been broken?
I haven’t updated since before the marketplace as I just now started playing again after some months. Did the updates actually fix that much that it’s worth having to update my mods?
