Pop Culture Meets The Sims: Pokémon (Part 1)

Gotta Catch ‘Em All – Sims 4 Style!

Welcome to a new miniseries where we will be taking hot and trending topics in popular culture and see what happens when they meet The Sims 4! Now, regardless of how old you are, it’s more than likely that you will have heard about Pokémon, be it anime, movies, trading cards, video games, or other Pokémon-themed merchandise. Pokémon is one of the hottest video games, with the recently released Pokemon Scarlet and Violet editions for Nintendo Switch. However, have you ever wondered what would happen if the world of Pokémon met The Sims 4? Well, let’s find out!

For this first of three parts in our introductory miniseries, we will take a look at rebuilding our trainers’ starting home in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, as well as introduce you to some experienced and upcoming Pokémon Trainers!

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: The Location

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is based in the beautiful world of Paldea. However, your home as a trainer is located in the gorgeous area of Cabo Poco. As for The Sims 4, I tried to find a world and lot that was similar to that in the game.

This took some time as I knew suitable lots would be limited. I wanted to try my best to keep that “over the water” lookout and that had space to accommodate as much of the outdoor space as possible.

After trying a variety of lots in Oasis Springs, Sulani, and Tartosa to name a few, I settled on the Piccola Luce lot in Sulani. The 40×30 lot seemed to be the perfect choice for this recreation.

While it was a little bit more island-like compared to what we see in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, as the shell started to take shape, I knew it was the right lot for the build.

I will admit, it was difficult to get the shell just right, even now it does seem a little on the larger side but that was down to the layout of the house and the placement of the staircase.

With the bare shell laid out. It was time to move on to adding the windows, doors, and additional exterior details before tacking the interior.

The Exterior & Landscaping

This part of the build I really struggled with. Initially, nothing seemed to be working or coming together. I couldn’t find the right items to use that were similar to those in-game. Eventually, I started to make some progress. While some of the items used weren’t exactly the same as what we see in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, I chose them based on how similar they were and how they worked for the overall build. This was specifically true when it came to the windows and window placement.

Another task that was a challenge for me was landscaping. I’ve never been someone who is good at landscaping however I always give it my best shot! Trying to replicate what was in the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet games was difficult. I tried to think outside the box as to what objects I could use. Those that fit with the game’s style, or at least similar. DEBUG mode provided me with a larger range of objects to choose from and eventually, I found what I was looking for.

With the exterior now complete, it was time to move on to the interior!

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: The Interior

This is where I knew I was going to be able to have some fun! With the Kitchen, Lounge, and your player’s Bedroom available to explore these would be straightforward to replicate. However, having your Parent’s room, a storage room, and a limited selection of camera angles some aspects of the build I knew would be more challenging. Without letting that put me off I set about furnishing each of the different areas.

I wanted to stay true to the game and not add too many additional objects to each space. For each room, I wanted to do my best in replicating everything as closely as I could.

On the other hand, one thing that I thought of as I started to furnish the inside of the build was due to the minimal camera angles, some areas appeared to have nothing in them. My plan to tackle this was to follow the same theme as the room and fill that space with objects I felt would be in those spaces and were also following the same theme of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Kitchen & Lounge

Likewise, with most builds I work on, I started in the Kitchen. For me, this feels like the most natural place for me to start. Choosing the counters was relatively straightforward. Initially, the space felt empty but after adding a touch of paint and flooring it was starting to come together well.

While the limited freedom of movement with the in-game camera in Pokémon Violet was slightly frustrating, I think I managed to capture and recreate both the kitchen and lounge spaces well. There are definitely a few things I was hoping I could recreate in game such as the ceiling beams but it just wasn’t possible.

Trainers Bedroom

The Trainers bedroom was not only the easiest but also the room I enjoyed furnishing the most. It was straightforward but the variety of objects we have in The Sims 4 really helped make a relatively accurate recreation.

I’ll be honest, my younger self wishes that this was my bedroom if I was embarking on my own Pokémon adventure to become a Pokémon Master!

Master Bedroom

This room was one of two rooms that were not accessible by players so needed a little bit of imagination when creating it. I decided to keep it simple instead of trying to overcomplicate it and in the end, it turned out perfectly. A lovely quiet space perfect for grabbing a book to read or just having a peaceful night sleep!

While this was not a part of the Master Bedroom, I did really like how the small area between the stairs and the master bedroom turned out as well!

The Storage Room & Empty Spaces

Next up is the storage room. In Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, you aren’t actually able to enter this room so I used my best judgment to create a space that would work. As this build was likely to be used in my own game, my first thought was to use this space as a bathroom and some additional storage It definitely worked as there would be nowhere else to really place a bathroom area.

A second area that was a bit of an empty space was the small rounded tower space located behind the kitchen. Now, in the game, it is part of the kitchen however when recreating the house in The Sims 4 it just didn’t work. I ended up turning this into a small laundry room instead to help fill the space but it also doubled as another entrance/exit into the garden area.

Earlier on in this article, I mentioned that due to the limited freedom of movement with the camera in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, there were some spaces that appeared to be empty. This is what I decided to do to make these spaces more functional instead!

In the kitchen, there was a small bit of space which I filled with another washing station for laundry.

The empty space on either side of the entrance turned into two different spaces. One was a space for Sims to get ready with their shoes and coats and then on the other side I placed a bookshelf which would also work well for the lounge area.

The Final Result

Overall, both the interior and exterior of the Pokemon Scarlet and Violet came together better than I could have expected. What helped was the variety and versatility of many of the objects that I could use and choose from in The Sims 4 and the available packs. While there were many different versions of various areas of the build over time, the end result wasn’t too bad. Of course, there are things I would like to revisit and more than likely change when I start to use this build myself in the game but that is natural in any build but, as an overall reflection of it, I am pretty happy with how it all turned out!

Now, with the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Trainers home complete let me hand you over to another Sims Community Staff member!

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet: A Trainer for Every Path

SnarkyWitch here! I’m so glad Krista allowed me to collab with her on Sims Community’s three-part Pokémon series because, like many others, I too have been totally sucked into the latest installment of the beloved Pokémon series. Pokémon is a certain special nostalgia our generation just can’t seem to kick and do we want to? Let’s be honest, not really.

Krista did such a beautiful job with the protagonist’s home from Pokémon Scarlet/Violet but you know what they say; a house isn’t a home without Pokémon trainers! I’m sure that’s the saying. Nailed it. Since Scarlet and Violet offer us three different story paths to pursue at our own pace, I thought it fitting to create three of the characters from Pokemon Scarlet and Violet to enjoy this home. I know the protagonist and their mom is supposed to live here but in The Sims, there are no rules! So may I present three of my personal favourite Pokémon trainers; Nemona, Arven, and Meli!

It was important to me that these Sims have no custom content. I love custom content but Pokémon is for everyone and it wouldn’t be right to exclude our beloved console players from enjoying this Pokémon and The Sims crossover. It was definitely a challenge to create such unique, distinct characters without CC but a lot of fun! Let’s meet these trainers, shall we?

Please note there may be minor early-game spoilers ahead!

Nemona Trainer

It was basically a no-brainer to make Nemona first! She’s one of the first pals you meet on your Pokémon journey and is the one who mentors you as you take on the Pokémon gyms around Paldea. She thinks you have what it takes to become a League Champion and with such an encouraging friend in your corner, how could she be wrong?

And you’re just the scrappy new freshman to help him!

7 Maxis Match CC Sets to Elevate Your Sims 4 Game

These 7 CC sets will add style to your game without sacrificing aesthetics!

There’s a lot of custom content for The Sims 4 out there and more and more players are opting to do away with alpha CC in favour of Maxis Match. Not sure what that means? Maxis Match CC is custom content that is designed to match the art style of The Sims 4. The ideal Maxis Match CC doesn’t look like CC at all; it looks like something Maxis made. This appeals to many players because their custom content doesn’t stick out and instead blends into the rest of their Sim’s home or wardrobe seamlessly.

Today we’re bringing you seven Maxis Match Build/Buy and CAS sets that are sure to add style to your game without sacrificing visual appeal.

Wednesday’s Child is Full of Great Sims 4 Goth CC

This set is creepy and it’s kooky, mysterious and spooky! It’s all together ooky! This Sims 4 Goth CC.

This Sims 4 Goth CC is about to take a dark turn.

In brief, Charles Addams’ Addams Family cartoon was first published to The New Yorker in 1938. In fact, the family was without proper names until the 1964 TV Show “The Addams Family.” Throughout the years, there have been many different iterations with slightly different tones, characteristics, and storylines. To illustrate the Addams’ family’s influence, just read and watch all the numerous versions, including books, a Broadway Show, an animated series, a live action tv show, a pinball machine, video games, and even advertisements. Most recently, a Netflix original show features Wednesday Addams as its titular character and was released November 23, 2022.

What each iteration has in common is a dark, Goth aesthetic. As the result of the Netflix show’s popularity, it is nor surprising that a Custom Content (CC) creator has created a CC set to accompany the feel of the Netlix show. In a similar fashion, Sixam has created a Sims 4 goth CC set that would either work perfectly in an Addams Family build or even with similar families such as the Goth Family. To summarize, this set works well together and also combined with items from the Vampire Game Pack.

This pack by SixamCC will release on December 22, 2022!

Sims 4 Goth CC Included

Bedroom

Sixam included two different beds and matching mattress along with bed stands and a dresser! Using these items and some of the decorations included with the set, a bedroom perfect for Wednesday Addams is easy to create.

Double Bed Frame: Gothic Double Frame (10 Swatches)
Double Separated Mattress: “Soft and sometimes weird” Double Mattress (12 Swatches)
Single Bed Frame: Goth Single Frame (10 Swatches)
Single Separated Mattress: “Soft and sometimes weird” Single Mattress (12 Swatches)
Dresser: Pretty Dark Dresser (10 Swatches)
Night Table: “Secrets in the Dark” Nightstand (10 Swatches)

Dining Room

Although there is only one dining room item with the set, it can be used with a good number of in game items from tables to desk. Not to mention the stylish look of the chair that can be used with man different game chairs or Custom Content chairs.

Dining Chair: “Nightmare” Dining Chair (12 Swatches)

Living Room

These three pieces are our favorite pieces in the set! Particularly, the red color is absolutely stunning against the dark wood colors and the shape is unique from anything else we have in the game. Above all, these Sims 4 Goth CC pieces perfectly match the vibe of the new Wednesday show.

Living Chair: “Nightmare” Living Chair (10 Swatches)
Loveseat: Nightmare Loveseat (10 Swatches)
Couch: “Nightmare” Couch (10 Swatches)

Decorative

Another key point is that we love the Sims 4 goth CC decorative items included in this set! In fact, the large mirror is not only great for decoration, but also for all the normal mirror uses. Specifically, there are two different paintings with 14 swatches between the two of them, a decorative skull, a fireplace, and a round rug with swatches that will go with numerous different house decoration styles.

All things considered, the skull and fireplace will be my top two objects used from this pack.

Fireplace: Gothic Stone Fireplace (9 Swatches)
Painting: Beautiful Art (8 Swatches)
Painting: Old Portraits (6 Swatches)
Rug: Funny Circular Rug (12 Swatches)
Decorative Skull: Uncle Skull (4 Swatches)
Wall Mirror: “Look at me!” Wall Mirror (10 Swatches)

Hallway

These living tables could have a myriad of different uses from using them in the hall way to behind a couch or on any open wall space. Subsequently, their two different heights gives them added flexibility.

Hallway Table: “Secret Love” Hall Table (10 Swatches)
Hallway Table (Short): “Secret Love” Hall Table (Short) (10 Swatches)

Lighting

Lastly, the lighting is one of the most important parts of decoration. Sixam provides us with two different types of Sims 4 goth CC lights in this pack. Subsequently, they include a wall lamp and a table lamp. With 9 swatches between the two lamps, these lamps should be able to fit into quite a few different decoration styles including a Goth house. In truth, these are the perfect versatile type of lamp that most Simmers need.

Wall Light: “Give me light” Fancy Lamp (4 Swatches)
Table Light: Victorian Heirloom Table Lamp (5 Swatches)

To conclude, this pack is a great pack for any Wednesday Addams’ fan, Addams Family fan, and/or Sims 4 goth cc fan. Our favorite items were the skull, the fireplace, and the the three living room seating options. We recommend downloading it and adding the items to your game!

The Sims 4 Story Starter Kit: A Royal Winterfest

An ailing king, a secret romance and a Winterfest Ball to remember!

Welcome to our thirteenth official Sims 4 Story Starter Kit! If you missed all the info on Story Starter Kits, you can read more about what they are and how they work in our introductory article!

This month, we’re bringing you into the world of royalty! A king’s failing health means his daughter’s coronation must happen soon, at the annual Winterfest Ball, but the princess has a big secret she’s hiding from everyone.

Story Starter Kit: A Royal Winterfest

The Dupontes have ruled over the small country of Windenburg since medieval times. Although Windenburg’s politics have long since moved to a democratic system, the monarchy still stands as a symbol of Windenburg’s esteemed history and the royal family still has a great deal of influence in the country. They work alongside the elected ruler to pass policies and launch new initiatives for the betterment of Windenburg’s people. It’s a duty the Dupontes take very seriously.
So when news spread around Windenburg that King Maximus’ health was deteriorating, everyone was buzzing about Princess Elleri, the King and Queen’s only child who just celebrated her 18th birthday. She’s expected to be the youngest Queen to inherit the throne since 1654 when Princess Elleri’s ancestor ascended to the throne at the age of thirteen. Princess Elleri has been adored by the public since her birth and her parents have spent her entire life preparing her for this very moment. All of their hopes and dreams hinge on her and how she rules as Queen.
Recently, King Maximus’ health has taken a turn for the worse. Windenburg law states that the birth-born monarch must crown the next monarch themselves shortly before their passing; without the approval of the current reigning monarch, the throne may be contested by other noble families with any relation to the Dupontes. Naturally, this urgency demands Princess Elleri be crowned as soon as possible and what better opportunity to crown Windenburg’s new queen than at the castle’s annual Winterfest Celebration Ball, in front of the whole country? The event will also be an opportunity for Queen Gloria to scout out a suitable husband for her newly crowned daughter; Princess Elleri must secure the Duponte bloodline for another generation as soon as possible, after all.
But there’s one problem with that. Princess Elleri is already engaged in secret to one of the castle’s servants, Ezra. It’s still illegal in Windenburg for the royal family to marry someone outside of the nobility but the Princess has been in love with Ezra since they were children when he boldly stole a kiss on the cheek from her in the courtyard. She couldn’t stop giggling the rest of the day back then and he hasn’t stopped making her giggle ever since. If she can just keep their relationship a secret until after her coronation on Winterfest, she’ll be able to change the law when she becomes Queen and marry the person she loves.
But can she keep it a secret long enough? Her mother’s been getting increasingly suspicious of how much time she spends with Ezra and with the coronation fast approaching, she’s been watching her daughter like a hawk to make sure she doesn’t do anything to disgrace the royal family at such an important time. She knows her parents will assume Ezra just wants to become King and gain access to the royal vault. They’ll have him imprisoned. Her father would never physically harm Ezra but Princess Elleri doesn’t want to think about how far her mother would go to ensure the royal family’s bloodline and reputation isn’t sullied by a servant boy… and it would be all too easy for her to do something drastic while the King’s too ill to intervene.

The Mod Manager for The Sims 4 is Officially Live!

The CurseForge Mod Manager now supports The Sims 4!

On November 14th, 2022, players could upload and download mods and custom content from the CurseForge Mods Hub. At the time, support for The Sims 4 was restricted to the Mods Hub website. Plans to bring The Sims 4 to the CurseForge Mod Manager app were scheduled for December 6th, 2022. Yep, that’s today! The Mod Manager app now supports The Sims 4 and you can download and maintain all your mods and CC directly within the app.

For those who prefer the website, the Mods Hub website has also gotten a major facelift. It is now more visually appealing and easier to navigate.

The Sims 4 Mod Manager

If you previously had the CurseForge Mod Manager app installed for other games, then all you have to do is open your app and see that The Sims 4 is now supported in the app! For those new to the app, you can download it from the CurseForge website.

Click on The Sims 4 icon in the left sidebar to see all of your installed content from mods and CC to lots and households. The Sims 4 Mod Manager app will display mods you previously downloaded from elsewhere, too. Easily delete anything you no longer want and update all outdated mods at once by clicking on the upload button at the top of your mod list. You can also search for more mods to download within the app.

Everything is now in one convenient location, making it easier than ever before to install and maintain your mods and CC.

Mods Hub Redesign

Sims 4 Mods Hub — Mods Hub redesigned website

In addition to the Mod Manager support for The Sims 4, the Mods Hub website has gotten a complete redesign! The new design more closely resembles the app design and is much more visually striking. Download preview thumbnails are now larger and more visible, with better overall organization and navigation.

Check out the new look for yourself!

This Mod Brings Newspapers Back to The Sims 4!

The Sims 4 has embraced the modern world in many ways, doing away with outdated technologies like landline telephones and newspaper deliveries. Many players miss these old-fashioned things from days gone by. Some wish for more old-timey things for their elders who are stuck in the past. Others just don’t want their Sims to be so reliant on cell phones and Wi-Fi, especially when playing Rags to Riches challenges or historical challenges. Well, Ravasheen has given these players what they want! Her Sims Daily newspaper mod for The Sims 4 will allow your Sims to read the paper again!

The Sims 4 newspaper mod is base game compatible but more options will be available to players depending on what packs they have installed.

The Sims 4 Newspaper Mod: How to Subscribe

It’s easy to subscribe to The Sims Daily with this Sims 4 newspaper mod. In Build/Buy, search for an object called New News Stand and place it on any lot. You can search for the item by name or just type RVSN in the search bar; searching for RVSN will bring up all of Ravasheen’s content that you have installed.

Once placed, click on the news stand in Live Mode. Purchase that day’s copy of the newspaper for $2 or sign up for a subscription for $1 a day. If you’re short on simoleons and want to read the paper every day, it’s better to subscribe at the discounted rate. Not only is it cheaper to subscribe, but it’s more convenient, too. Sims Daily subscribers get a copy of the paper in the mail every day at around 9am. No need to remember to swing by the news stand to grab that day’s paper; this Sims 4 newspaper mod delivers right to you every day!

Sims Daily subscribers will get a trait to show that they are currently subscribed to the Sims 4 newspaper. You can unsubscribe anytime by clicking on your mailbox or on a news stand.

Each newspaper is only good for one day. It expires the following day. You know your Sims 4 newspaper is old when it turns brown in colour. You can have up to 5 newspapers on your lot. After that, the newspaper will not be delivered until you clean up some of the old papers.

Newspaper Features

The Sims Daily has lots of useful features Sims can take advantage of. Many options that were only available on the cell phone or computer are now available through the newspaper. This makes the paper a great tool for Rags to Riches, Off-The-Grid, and Decades playthroughs!

Here’s the full list of what’s possible with The Sims Daily newspaper!

Find odd jobs/gigs
Post missing pet alerts
Read festival info – Gives info on the next upcoming festival
Clip coupons and get discounts
Read daily news, affirmations, and jokes – Provides Sims with Confident, Playful, and Focused moodlets!
Check Recent Neighbourhood Stories
Check Neighbourhood Action Plans
Enact Neighbourhood Action Plans
Repeal Neighbourhood Action Plans

Using The Sims 4 newspaper grants your Sims influence points and both the news stand and newspaper are functional off the grid!

Our Thoughts on The Sims 4 Newspaper Mod

We’re always impressed with Ravasheen’s work and her newspaper mod for The Sims 4 is no exception! She’s always thinking of ways to make the game easier and more intuitive for players to enjoy and she never disappoints; many of her mods pay special attention to the needs of off-the-grid and history players which is something the community needs more content for.

We love this blast from the past and found having a daily newspaper delivery so handy! We were able to do so many things with just one object and we didn’t have to click through a maze of phone apps to find them. Having the newspaper expire the next day and not getting deliveries if there are too many newspapers on the lot is a very nostalgic thing from past Sims games.

Something we would love to see added to this mod in the future is notifications with funny news clips, affirmations, and jokes in addition to the nice moodlets our Sims get. I totally volunteer to write some corny jokes for you, Ravasheen!

The Sims Daily News Stand and Newspaper is currently in early access for Ravasheen’s patrons. It goes public on December 17th, 2022. Click the button below to be taken to the download page!

The Sims 4 SDX: Mean Sims Fix and Dragon Age Merch!

The latest SDX drop includes a major bug fix and Dragon Age merch!

If you’ve opened up The Sims 4 today, you might have noticed we got another SDX drop, but what did we get with it? In usual fashion, The Sims social media channels and news blog were vague about the details but they did confirm a long awaited bug fix was included. The Dragon Age Facebook account also posted that there is new Dragon Age themed CAS assets in The Sims 4 to celebrate the upcoming release of the series’ latest title, Dragon Age: Dread Wolf.

Dragon Age Promo Image — Image from the Dragon Age Facebook page

Yep, another video game advertisement. Still, let’s dive into CAS and check out exactly what we got!

Sims 4 SDX Content: CAS Assets

Feminine T-Shirt Recolours

If it’s hard to find these shirts in CAS, that’s because they aren’t a new catalogue entry. They are added swatches to the Mass Effect rolled sleeve tee that we received in a previous SDX drop. There are a total of four new swatches themed around the Dragon Age series.

Masculine Tee

Like the feminine shirt, you’re going to have a hard time finding these if you’re looking for a new catalogue entry. The Sims 4 SDX drop added these designs as extra swatches for the base game graphic tee; the one with the skull face as the catalogue preview swatch. It comes in the same four swatches as the feminine tee with the same Dragon Age designs.

Unisex Tattoos

There are three new tattoo designs, also themed around Dragon Age. All three designs are different swatches for the same catalogue entry. They are for the left upper arm and can be applied to both masculine and feminine framed Sims.

Unisex Baseball Cap

There is also a Dragon Age themed baseball cap with the familiar sword and flame design on it. Just like the shirts, this Sims 4 SDX content is hidden as an extra swatch rather than a new catalogue entry. It’s a new swatch for the base game baseball cap.

Sims 4 SDX Bug Fix: No More Excessively Mean Sims

The fix to tone down excessively mean Sims was intended to be in the last base game update. At the last minute, The Sims Team announced that the fix would be delayed until December. Many players were understandably disappointed by this delay but they don’t have to wait any longer! Today’s SDX drop included a bug fix for this! Sims won’t be mean without a viable reason, such as having mean traits or being angry.

If this is the first you’re hearing about this bug, you can read more about it right here on our website!

As usual, we’ll continue to update this post if/when more content from today’s SDX drop is discovered!

Important Information

While playing the mod, it is only possible to play with Sims in the same household. Also, the both Sims being currently played need to travel together. Additional Sims can be left alone.
It is recommended that only the host saves the game.
LAN (Local Area Network) connections do not cost anything to the player meanwhile, anything through an Internet connection requires a subscription to the S4MP Patreon.
It is necessary that everyone playing the game has the same packs installed. To prevent issues, packs can be disabled from the S4MP launcher settings.
Mods and CC can be used with Sims 4 Multiplayer! Both Simmers need to have the same mods and cc installed otherwise there will be problems. Also, not all Script mods are compatible. Make sure to check or test before playing.
In fact, it is possible to communicate with other Simmers, type ctrl + shift+ c then type Chat [Your Message]. Only the other Simmers will be able to see the message.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many Simmers can play in a save at once?
Up to 12 players are able to connect at one time.

What version of The Sims 4 is required?
All players must have the same version. But, this version must be The Sims 4 version 1.54 or newer.

What are the requirements of using Sims 4 Multiplayer Mod?
Every Simmer needs to have their own computer. In addition, each Simmer needs to register for an account. Patrons get lifetime LAN support even after cancelling their Patreon membership.

What are the current limitations of S4MP?
There are two major limitations that Sims 4 Multiplayer has currently. Build mode does not always work as expected and adding new Sims or pets to the lot “has not been tested”. This includes additions e.g. adoptions, giving birth, etc.)

Common Problems

Unable to interact with objects or Sims? Try allowing Sims 4 Multiplayer through firewalls. Also, check all VPNs to make sure they are connecting properly. Finally, mod conflicts can cause problems with S4MP. Check to make sure all mods are compatible with Sims 4 Multiplayer. Therefore, we recommend doing a 50/50 if the culprit is not evident at first. Remember, missing mods can also cause problems similar to these so make sure everyone playing has identical mod folders.

Temporary Fixes

Currently, there is a problem with Simmers’ travel screens being black. As a result, S4MP recommends that the host use Save As instead of Save to prevent it from happening.
- When traveling, Simmers should go from Home to Point A and then back home without travelling to another destination immediately. Subsequently, doing this will help prevent the black screen error.

Installation

(From S4MP’s website)

The host must prepare a Sims 4 household with everyone’s sims to play with, meanwhile, everyone must enable Mods & Scripts➚, then save & exit their games.
Download and extract S4MP from the zip file, then launch it. If it’s not opening, make sure to run it as admin and exclude it from your antivirus.
Set the documents path in S4MP’s settings tab, by default:
- Windows: C:\\Users\\USER\\Documents\\Electronic Arts\\The Sims 4
- Mac: /Users/USER/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4
Set the game’s folder path in S4MP’s settings tab, by default:
- Origin: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Origin Games\\The Sims 4
- EA Desktop: C:\\Program Files\\EA Games\\The Sims 4
- Steam: C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Steam\\steamapps\\common\\The Sims 4
- Mac: /Users/USER/Applications
Allow S4MP through the Firewall settings➚ to prevent connectivity issues.
Click Play on LAN in S4MP, select your prepared save game to host, and share your VPN or IP address with others so that they can join the room.
Once everyone’s in and save synced, press Everyone’s Connected and then Start Game. If the game isn’t starting, you can also start it manually.
Let The Sims 4 load, select the same save game then load into the same household, a notification in-game should state that the multiplayer has loaded.

Modder makes a Memory System for The Sims 4!

Lumpinou’s mods strike again! This time, by adding memories to The Sims 4!

Once again, a modder has taken it upon themselves to add missing features to The Sims 4. Lumpinou is a well-known modder best known for their popular WooHoo Wellness mod but that is certainly not all they do! Their latest project is adding a memory system to The Sims 4! The Memory Panel mod is designed to make special moments in your Sims’ lives matter more, complete with moodlets!

Released✨Memory Panel: A Memory System mod!✨

Early Access – goes Public on Dec. 1st

Side note I overworked my hands again but what can we do *sad laugh*

How The Sims 4 Memory System Mod Works

Lumpinou explains on their blog that with this mod installed, Sims will automatically retain memories for important moments in their lives as they happen. You’ll know when your Sim has acquired a new memory by a special effect that appears on your Sim, as well as a moodlet.

You can then open your Sim’s memory profile to see all their memories. Some memories related to relationships may be clickable to show the Sim with which your Sim experienced that memory with. The mod is smart enough to make distinctions between a first-time memory and a repeated memory. Your Sims may not feel the same way about a certain event the second time around. For example, Sims may have different reactions to giving birth the first time versus a second or third time. They may also feel differently about getting fired multiple times or being cheated on multiple times.

Lumpinou has also added some extra features to The Sims 4 memory system mod, such as being able to ask Sims about their memories and multiple cheat options to add/remove memories. Sims will also gain a special relationship bit with the Sim they have their first WooHoo with. What’s even better? Upon first installing the mod, it will retroactively add memories to all your current Sims!

What’s next for the mod?

Lumpinou says they plan to add new features to the mod over time, like more memories, larger impacts for memories, more social interactions, and even Social Bunny posts! They also say that the mod can be integrated with other mods.

As for making memories chronological, Lumpinou says it’s something they would like to do and are actively working on but this is a tricky endeavour and may not be possible, so they can’t guarantee this will happen as of right now.

Currently, The Memory System Mod is in early access for Lumpinou’s patrons but will be made freely available to everyone on December 1st, 2022. You can visit Lumpinou’s patreon if you are interested in becoming a patron and receiving early access to this mod.
