To celebrate 15 years of The Sims Franchise, Sims Social Channels have posted some interesting facts about the Franchise that you may or may not have heard about.
The answer to the second picture is the Guinea Pig, while the answer to the sixth pic is the toilet 😉
As The Sims 4 is releasing for Mac Computers tomorrow, The Sims Team has decided to answer some of the most frequently asked questions related to the Mac Version.
You can check out our Home Page if you want to know with us to the exact release of The Sims 4 for Mac!

Buy a ticket and make your Sims a millionaire!
This mod allows sims to purchase SimLotto lottey tickets on any of the computers included in the game. The payout rate is higher than a normal lottery to make things a bit more fun, but the odds are fairly balanced and not just a money cheat. Three flavors of the mod are available, normal odds, easier odds and best odds. The number of required matches, range of numbers and payouts are altered in each flavor. A complete list of the payouts may be found below in a spoiler.

The Sims Facebook posted a Trailer of The Sims 4 Get To Work featuring a minor change – a full release date of this Expansion Pack!
Their first version of the Announce Trailer shows that The Sims 4 will release in April 2015, but as SimFans has previously found that EA DE leaked a European Release date by accident (April 2nd), this Official Leak is more than just plausible.

Shabby is all we need to say. Chic is to make you look. Your Sims can take pleasure in our dumpster diving furniture redone. As always redone by that cheap labor passing the savings to You! We did make sure the toilet seat was sanded so you won’t be sitting where another bottom has been! This set has one extra color option. The fireplace needs the Camping Game Pack to work.

Salutations Simmers!
Love is in the air. Or should I say, love will be in the air. We had a crazy idea last week, one that made us smile, and we hope you agree. Tomorrow (or if you are in Australia, today) is Valentine’s Day and we want to celebrate with you.
A little back story: We’re able to collect various snippets of gameplay data, which we use to help us improve the game. Now, we want to use this data for a little mischief, a little fun, and… a little reward.
It’s time to WooHoo!
This weekend in The Sims 4 is officially WooHoo Weekend! If you can get your Sims to WooHoo 4 million times over the next two days*, we’ll build you a new gnome. You can see the concept drawing for it below! We’ll release this gnome – for free – in a patch in March (yes, that’s confirmation, we will have a patch in March) which will be available for all owners of The Sims 4**. And, if you manage to reach 5 million, we may throw in some snazzy hair styles as well.
It’s not all about WooHoo though. We truly want to see love in The Sims 4 flourish. We want your Sims to kiss, find their soul mate, go on dates, have children, and more. When the event ends, we’ll put all of this data together to share with you so we can all enjoy your accomplishments. I can’t wait!
So, what do you say?
Can your Sims Woohoo 4 Million times, or 5 Million, or more, over the Valentine’s Day weekend? We recommend candles, some great soulful music, and at least two Sims.
Ready…
Set…
WooHoo!
*WooHoo Weekend starts at 2:00PM PST Friday February 13, 2015, and finishes at 11:59PM PST Sunday February 15, 2015.
**When a new base game patch is available, you will be prompted to download the next time you log in. Just click “yes” and any new content will download with the patch.

If your data is corrupted or you simply want to revert to a prior save, The Sims 4 automatically stores numerous save points for you to choose from.
Your save files can be found in the following location:
Documents > Electronic Arts > Sims 4 > Saves
Within that folder, you will see a long list of files with names like Slot_000000012.save or Slot_000000012.save.ver1. You will notice that each file number has up to six versions. The one with the .save file extension is the primary version of that save point–the one that would load if you launched the game and continued from where you left off (or used Load Game in the main menu to choose an older save point). The other instances of the file represent older points within that saved game, where the game automatically preserved your progress incrementally. The higher the version number, the older the file (.ver4 is the oldest save point within the series).
If you find that your game is corrupted as of the latest load, you can easily revert to any older version of that same save point, potentially losing no more than a few Sim hours of progress. Start by identifying the save point you want to use:
- Is it definitely the latest game you’ve been playing, or do you want to go back by a few days?If your folder view is set to show details, you will see your files displayed with date and time information, making it easy to choose the newest set of save points.
- If you want to go back further in an older save, you can match it to your save points in-game via the Load Game menu.The in-game save points show date and time information, so you can match them against the set of files in your Saves folder.
Important: After you have matched your save points in-game to your set of save files, be sure to close the game. Never alter game files while the game is running.
Once you have chosen the save point you want to return to, select the primary version of it (the one with the .save file extension) and move it to another folder location for safe-keeping (you could instead choose to rename or delete it if you prefer). Now you will have a set of files that all have the file extensions marking them as older versions of that save point. You can choose any one of those to make primary, depending how far back you want to go.
- To revert the smallest amount of time and progress, choose the file with .save.ver0.
- To revert the most time and progress within this save, choose the file with .save.ver4.
In order to make the file you choose become the new primary save point, simply right-click the file and choose Rename. Delete the part of the file name after .save and hit Enter.
Example: Slot_000000012.save.ver4 should now be Slot_000000012.save
Now, launch The Sims 4, and choose Load Game. Select the save point you want to open, and the game will load the file you renamed as the primary for that save point.

This Mod has been brought to you by Mod The Sims member – Shimrod101!
This mod adds all the Aspiration Traits, the traits acquired from completing aspirations, into the Rewards Store, such that they can be purchased for the points instead of doing the aspirations. None of these traits are disabled or removed from the aspirations, it’s also possible to still do the aspirations and acquire these traits, while purchasing some of the others.
The cost of purchasing all of the traits is reduced in the same fashion as in my Cheap Aspiration Rewards mods, the cheap flavour and the half-cost flavour; so all of the default traits/rewards have the same cost as in those mods.
The price point for the new traits is 250 in the cheap mod and 850 in the half-cost mod. I’ve simply chosen a price in both mods which hasn’t been used previously, such that these new traits will be grouped together. Use one or the other of these two mods.
