The Sims 4 Player uncovers Restless Arms through a glitched Mod

This is the funniest video you’ll see today!

Before I begin with this article let me state that this is *not* a game bug, but rather a product of a Mod that…slightly malfunctioned.

I was just scrolling through my Twitter feed when I stumbled upon a hilarious video from content creator @onlyabidoang. A video that showcases two Sims, Bob Pancakes and Hunter Evans, doing normal, everyday Sims activites.

All except for the fact that their arms couldn’t stop dancing and moving. See it yourself in the video below – with the soundtrack by none other but Beyoncé – Single Ladies:

The video features Bob Pancakes dancing with the most optimistic face before diving into Cake:

…and Hunter Evans not being able to contain his excitement while grilling Hot Dogs:

The two Sims later optimistically meet each other while passing by – all while doing a Fortnite dance with their arms. Bob even jumped into the pool and did a lap while doing a Victory Royale:

I had to ask the creator how they’ve came across this hilarious issue. Turns out it was a small glitch in the Fortnite Dances Mod created by Sigma1202.

You can try out the Mod yourself even, but I can’t guarantee that your Sims will also have Restless Arms like the Sims in the video above.

The Sims 4 Scenario Playthrough: Inspirational Mentor

The Sims 4 Scenario Playthrough: Inspirational Mentor

Pass on the knowledge to younger generations in the latest Limited Scenario!

The recent SDX drop graced us with a new scenario! This one is a limited time scenario called Inspirational Mentor! This scenario is about passing knowledge on to the next generation. It’s perfect for Women’s History Month because for this scenario, both your Sims will identify as female.

Here’s how our Inspirational Mentor scenario went!

Getting Started

You’ll notice the scenarios have gotten a bit of a revamp. Along with lots more new scenarios, there are now difficulty ratings on each scenario to give you an idea of the time and effort it will take players to complete them. The Inspirational Mentor scenario is listed as an Easy scenario.

This is a limited time scenario so if you want to play this scenario, you’ll have to start it before April 25, 2022. Scenarios in progress can still be played after the deadline as long as the player has begun the scenario before the deadline.

You need a household with one Young Adult or older female Sim and a Teen female Sim. There is only one way to complete the scenario but you’ll have to complete several tasks to finish it. Your older Sim will need to master any of the following skills: Programming, Rocket Science, Comedy, Writing, Painting, Fishing, Handiness, Logic, Piano, Violin, Guitar, Fitness, Robotics, Fabrication, or Knitting. Your older Sim will then need to mentor your teen Sim in that skill five times, become BFFs with them, and write a skill book.

We thought it would be heartwarming if we made a grandmother and granddaughter duo where the grandmother passes on her knitting skill. Knitting can also be maxed out in a day or two just by knitting in a rocking chair while Inspired and listening to music so it’s a good skill to pick if you want to speed run this scenario.

A Slow Start

We got our grandmother, Rosalie, and her granddaughter, Joy, all set up in Willow Creek. Rosalie started out with level 2 in all eligible skills for this scenario. Since we were starting almost from scratch, we got Rosalie knitting in her rocking char right away with some music to help boost her skill gain and a plumbob lamp to keep her Inspired. There wasn’t much to do with Joy in the meantime so we kept her busy with homework and had her start knitting a few things so she’d have enough skills for school.

Since we weren’t using any cheats in this playthrough apart from getting Rosalie and Joy set up in a decent house, Rosalie did have to stop knitting periodically to take care of her needs. Even though she was making very fast progress in the Knitting skill, we still felt like things were a little slow at first, just because most of the scenario is reliant on maxing a skill first. Other goals were on standby until Rosalie mastered Knitting.

Luckily, we picked a fast skill to learn and Rosalie had her Knitting skill maxed out by 6pm on Day 2 of our scenario. She was too tired and hungry to start mentoring Joy, though, so we decided to just call it a night and let grandma and granddaughter look after their needs and go to bed.

The Real Work Begins

The next morning was a school day but we didn’t want to sit around twiddling our thumbs while Joy was at school, so we had her take a vacation day. We wanted to buckle down and focus on the rest of the scenario goals today. So Rosalie got to work teaching her granddaughter everything she knew about knitting. We spammed this interaction by having Rosalie mentor Joy just long enough for it to register on the goal tracker, canceling the action, and then having her immediately start mentoring again. If you’re also using the Knitting skill for this scenario, it’s worth mentioning that the Teach to Knit action does not satisfy this goal. You have to click on the teen while they’re knitting and select Mentor.

The next item on the list was becoming BFFs. Ordinarily, this would take a lot of time and we didn’t feel like tediously stacking up dozens of Friendly socials for hours. We know of a faster way to max out friendship! Yes, it’s time to exploit the camera loophole. If you don’t already know, taking a picture of a Sim immediately makes them good friends even if they started out as strangers. It’s a hilariously easy way to make instant friends. We had our proud grandma take a picture of her granddaughter, who didn’t look too enthused about having to pose for a picture for grandma. It did the trick, anyway. Taking Joy’s picture immediately maxed out their friendship. Then all they had to do was Become BFFs!

One Last Thing

There was only one thing left to do to complete the scenario. Write a Knitting skill book! Joy was kind enough to lend her laptop to her grandma so she could share all of her sacred Knitting knowledge with the world. Rosalie looked like she was having trouble figuring out how to work this gosh darn, new-fangled, fancy-shmancy contraption but Joy helped her figure things out.

In a few hours, Rosalie was finished her skill book and we were finished with this scenario which took us a total of 4 days.

Our Thoughts

This scenario has a slow start but it’s not a bad little scenario to start a new household with. It’s challenging enough to keep your attention but not so hard that you’re going to spend forever on it. It’s a nice way to start playing a new household and earn a big chunk of satisfaction points without too much hassle. We also liked that there was a wide variety of skills you can choose to focus on. This helps make the scenario feel more like your own. And of course, major points for a scenario that celebrates Women’s History Month!

We didn’t run into any bugs with this scenario but we also didn’t leave our home lot during this playthrough so… travel at your own risk.

Official workaround for the Save Game Error in The Sims 4

Official workaround for the Save Game Error in The Sims 4

The Sims Team is working on a fix. Until then here’s how you can prevent the “Error Code 0” from happening!

A few hours ago we reported on hundreds of players encountering the Error Code 0 issue when trying to Save Game in The Sims 4.

The Sims Team has confirmed that they’re working on a fix for this error. Until then you can always use “Save As” as one of the workarounds. However, to ensure that you never encounter this issue again, SimGuruNick has shared a smart method (and a possible cause) of why this issue has been happening in the game.

Check out the official workaround for this Error and try it yourself so you don’t encounter this issue. If you already did encounter it it’s encouraged by The Sims Team that you share your save game with them so they can pinpoint all the causes so the error doesn’t happen again.

Workaround

Regarding Error Code 0, I have a couple workarounds that should prevent the error code from happening. I highly recommend all players do the following two things (thread incoming). First, disable Join A Career from your Neighborhood Stories. Do this for Other and My Households.

Next, for players that own Wedding Stories, do not set a cake for your wedding event. If you currently have any pre-existing events that have cakes set, cancel those events and reschedule them. See how in this screenshot there is no wedding cake selected? Do that.

Will these workarounds fix already-corrupted saves? I’m not entirely sure, testing is still occurring, I just wanted to get this info out ASAP. If you’ve never encountered Error Code 0 though, this should ensure that you never will.

And if you do still get Error Code 0? That’s a clear sign that you’ve found a case we haven’t addressed yet, and I would really appreciate your save file.

[mks_button size=”large” title=”Community Bug Report Form” style=”squared” url=”https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfmGBSvKURn9Ew6FLZDXs3cgAjYUGgkqMWbpvehGHmK4CX_ow/viewform” target=”_blank” bg_color=”#4ab538″ txt_color=”#FFFFFF” icon=”” icon_type=”” nofollow=”0″]

“Save Game” is becoming an Issue in The Sims 4

“Save Game” is becoming an Issue in The Sims 4

“The game failed to save. Error Code 0” is becoming more often among players

Imagine this scenario: you’re creating your perfect Household in The Sims 4 and building them a house. You get so invested into creating a perfect storyline and home that you look at the clock and it’s 5 in the morning.

“I should probably save my game”.

– Little does the player know that their game might decide to not do that.

UPDATE: SimGuruNick has shared another update regarding the game error, along with an official workaround. After confirming that the team is still actively working on resolving on fixing the error, he’s also encouraged players to continue sharing their save games. All to ensure that this issue doesn’t persist after the fix and that it gets universally fixed for all players.

If you encountered the “Error Code 0” issue here’s how you can share your save games to the developers and help resolve this as soon as possible:

Hi Simmers, we’re actively working to fix Error Code 0. I’ve been testing a potential fix that has worked on the majority of player-provided saves…but not all of them. So I’d like to humbly request more save files. I need to verify this gets fixed for all players, not just most.

If you’ve encountered this error code, please send me your corrupted save file via this link, thanks so much for the help!

In the meantime, please try using Save As for a workaround. Sorry for all the trouble!

This issue came to my attention not from my personal game, but from stories of other players within the community. The first thing that made me investigate more into this was a tweet by @gardenova_sims who reported that they’ve lost progress after building a home.

Hey guys, I’m having some serious save issues:( I saved my game and when I click on it it reverts back to the empty version, even on the map menu it shows the completed version..I’m devastated this house took me hours to complete @TheSims pic.twitter.com/ix6tsiK8ki

— Paige🦙 (@gardenova_sims) March 24, 2022

According to the story of the creator they’ve managed to successfully save their game – but still lose progress.

After exploring further about this issue I’ve found an entire active thread on EA Answers HQ talking about the issue. For most players this Save Game issue is being displayed and notified by the game itself through the screen prompt:

Screen via crystalpenn9

The cause of this save game error is unknown as of now. Players both with and without Mods/CC are experiencing, along across multiple platforms where The Sims 4 is available.

The EA Answers HQ is truly active for The Sims 4 when there’s a serious bug / issue happening with the game. At the point of writing this article 346 people have reported that they’ve experienced the same issue – with 27 different pages on the thread discussion regarding the issue.

The Sims Team has acknowledged this issue through both EA Answers HQ and Twitter.

SimGuruQARobo has shared the following on the forum:

Thank you to everyone that has shared saves or information thus far. Unfortunately, the team has had a difficult time pinpointing when the save becomes corrupted.

For anyone encountering this issue, have you played with any wedding cakes from the Wedding pack? If so, can you describe how you used the wedding cake during your play?

We are still looking for affected, unmodded saves, if you’re willing to share them. (Whether wedding cakes were used or not.)

Instructions on how to share saves are here: [INFORMATION] How to Send User Files to The Sims 4 Team – Answer HQ

Also, any information about what occurred in your game before the error occurred may be helpful.

SimGuruNick, Quality Designer working on The Sims 4 has said that this is something the team is currently “actively investigating”.

This issue started happening shortly after the release of The Sims 4 My Wedding Stories Game Pack but became more often afterwards.

We’ll keep you posted about the situation and when it officially gets fixed for The Sims 4. Until then, most players are reporting that using the “Save As” workaround has worked for them. You can also try saving the game before going into Manage Worlds to ensure it gets properly saved.

Also make sure you save your progress frequently!

The Sims 4 Dine Out has been FIXED! (by a modder)

The Sims 4 Dine Out has been FIXED! (by a modder)

“Fine, I’ll do it myself” but make it for the entire Game Pack.

The talented modder and guide writer, Carl, has made it his mission to overhaul The Sims 4. He aims to make the game more challenging but more rewarding and fun as well. His Gameplay Overhaul mod includes a great many tweaks and new features, including burglars, which we’ve covered previously. He’s also been working on a Dine Out overhaul that’s now gone public!

We dove into the Dine Out Reloaded portion of the mod to show you what it’s all about. Since the mod aims to clean up and improve existing features and fix poor autonomy, we thought it’d be best to show you the mod through our own gameplay experience. So here’s everything we noticed as an improvement when we were playing with our restaurant!

We started with plenty of money and a nice restaurant so we could focus on the autonomy without being fussed about things like funds and ambiance. The restaurant was 0 stars with no extra benefits, however. We wanted to see how we could build up those things more easily when things are actually running smoothly for once.

While our own Sim still loved to stand around listening to the music and doing pushups randomly, our staff and customers did not do any of this behaviour which was nice. Few things are more annoying and distracting than when you have hungry customers and your server is busy doing situps next to the table or dancing to music instead of taking their order. Servers were also much better at putting dirty dishes in the correct spot instead of all over dining tables.

We also noticed that our chef cooked much faster than before. Meals were coming out in a timely manner and we didn’t experience any lost orders that never got delivered. We also didn’t have the common issue of everyone in the restaurant randomly resetting themselves, resulting in customers standing around aimlessly instead of sitting with broken order queues. So far, so good! And thanks to the orders coming out faster, Sims finished their meals faster which meant we had more seats available for more paying customers.

All of this is great on its own but the one thing we hated more than anything was how celebrities would disrupt the entire restaurant. Sure, it’s normal for people to get excited when they see a celebrity. We could understand the realism there if customers at nearby tables whispered excitedly to each other about the celebrity without getting up from their seats. Maybe one or two people might ask for an autograph before returning to their seat. But the enthusiasm for celebrities in The Sims 4 is so over-the-top that the whole venue ceases to function, which is not realistic at all. The staff typically don’t abandon their duties to go scream and take pictures. Other customers might be excited but they aren’t likely to crowd around the celebrity’s table shrieking and passing out in a restaurant setting. After all, everyone is there to eat food. Usually expensive food. So they’re not going to abandon their food at their table.

This is why we were so happy to see Brytani Cho, a Proper Celebrity, walk into our restaurant and absolutely no one reacted to her. Okay, maybe a celebrity of that stature being completely ignored is pretty unrealistic, but it’s still far more preferable to the chaotic circus show that ordinarily would have ensued. Brytani being there didn’t distract the staff at all. Other customers didn’t get up from their seats to go crowd around her table. Paparazzi didn’t follow Brytani inside the restaurant to stand next to her table taking pictures. She was still a celebrity but was treated like any non-famous customer.

So what do we think about the Dine Out Reloaded portion of Carl’s Gameplay Mod? Well suffice it to say we’re pretty excited about it! A lot of the nuisances that ordinarily would have us pulling our hair out have been alleviated. Running a restaurant feels like running a restaurant and not like trying to put out a flaming circus tent.

The Gameplay Overhaul mod, including the new Dine Out Reloaded features, is now free for the public to download right now! Grab it from Carl’s Patreon!

Building a Greenhouse in The Sims 4 with Moschino Stuff

Building a Greenhouse in The Sims 4 with Moschino Stuff

The Mosquito Stuff Pack is very handy for your gardening needs!

Creating Greenhouses in The Sims 4 can often be a challenge. The game lets you have plants indoors and protect them from the weather if you have The Sims 4 Seasons installed. However, finding a perfect solution to build one from scratch and make it look decent in game can be exhausting.

We did an extensive guide a few months ago on Building Greenhouses in The Sims 4 and their benefits for your plants. But, what if you wanted to build one that’s almost identical to most greenhouses that you see in real life?

Surprisingly, that’s where The Sims 4 Moschino Stuff Pack comes in handy!

James Turner came up with a brilliant solution in his Cottage Living let’s play where he created a Greenhouse using nothing but the Base Game Glass Roof and Moschino Windows.

Sims player letsbuildhouses’ latest IG post reminded me to open up my game and try out James’ method for myself. Here’s how you can create your Mosquito Greenhouse!

Building a Mosquito Greenhouse

First, place down the roof on top of an empty square room that you’ve built. Make sure the roof spans out exact to each end of the room!

Click on the roof and max out the curvature point using the two circle manipulation points on the roof.

Make sure that your roof trims are all clean and tidy. Select the end of the roof on each side and have it fit to the wall sides. Make sure the roof also doesn’t bleed out on the edges!

Add a Glass Roof of your liking. The striped one that James used in his let’s play is the most logical one that goes best with the Moschino Stuff windows.

It’s time to add the Lofty Arched Window! You can place it down on both sides of the Greenhouse for each rounded corner. You can only do this properly if you have the bb.moveobjects on cheat enabled!

You’ll then notice that there are probably some corner imperfections around the Arched Window. Reside the Roof until all the corners have been properly adjusted!

The last corner imperfection is very subtle. But you can also fix that by fixing the roundess and making the roof just a bit more pointy on the top (with the circle manipulation point on the far left/right).

Voila! All that’s left is to place down the Moschino Doors and Windows.

With Windows you can choose between the open, Breezy Loft Window or Closed Loft Window. You can mix and match the windows to your liking so that the Greenhouse has more of an open, airy approach to it.

Last but not least – add in the Luxury Loft Sliding Door to wherever you prefer:

And there you have it – the Mosquito Greenhouse is yours to populate with plants and decorate with gardening tools indoors. If you want you can add a Grass Patch across the Greenhouse so it doesn’t stick out too much.

Will you be using the Mosquito approach for your next Greenhouse build? Let us know in the comments below!

The Sims 4 Story Progression is off the rails

The Sims 4 Story Progression is off the rails

In the funniest way possible.

Last week The Sims Team has surprised everyone with a huge update for The Sims 4. Although everyone had expectations that the upcoming Patch would only prepare the game for the upcoming Decor to the Max Kit, the team included a huge update for the Neighborhood Stories feature.

Our team member has written a handy guide for the new Neighborhood Stories Features in case you want to know about all what goes on!

As you see in the screenshot above, the new feature allows for the player to control what goes on in their neighborhood while they’re playing an Active Household. Well, at least control certain life aspects within The Sims 4.

It’s only been a few days since players have been able to play with the new features but I have to admit – the feature has already gone off the rails for many of the save games where this feature has been enabled.

Reddit user Tomdaninja has reported that one of the Sims in their saves has died after cereal randomly self-combusted.

YouTuber and content creator @onlyabidoang reports a huge surge of new babies for the Bheeda Household in their save game.

Screens via @onlyabidoang

The baby fever in The Sims 4 doesn’t just stop there. Player @ShannonP1120 reports a HUGE surge of adopted babies in several of their Households in their save game.

I know I was excited for the whole neighborhood progression thing but ummm is the neighborhood progressing a little too much 😭 what is going awnnnnn why does this man have SEVEN children 😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/BOoilUuG0g

— shan (@ShannonP1120) March 20, 2022

The children in The Sims 4 just keep multiplying to the player for some reason!

I left this family when their kid was a toddler how do they already have four additional children 😭😭😭 pic.twitter.com/laIvm5D0R6

— shan (@ShannonP1120) March 20, 2022

Probably one of the funniest scenarios that I came across in regards to The Sims 4 Neighborhood Stories is from Reddit user bluevanillatea.

They’ve shared a scenario that happened in their game where “the story progression update has caused the landgraab household to now solely consist of 1 cat in a mansion”.

To make things more funnier, the Cat is just sitting there in its green hoodie looking around at the camera like they robbed the place.

Screen by bluevanillatea

The OP later explained how this scenario came to be:

Apparently Nancy died and then Geoffrey moved to Sulani in order to cope with her tragic death

Woah.

Besides the fact that the Neighborhood Stories Features definitely needs some tuning in the babies and adoption area, the chaos that this feature allows is definitely something I want to see more of.

The Sims 4 Story Starter Kit: Partners in Crime

Welcome to our sixth entry in our Story Starter Kits series! 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 a couple of outlaws in love but will their epic tale of romance and theft end in betrayal? Well, that’s up to you!

Partners in Crime

When Alberto met Betty, she was just a small town waitress at a roadside diner, dreaming of having the kind of life she saw in classic Hollywood films. Alberto was handsome and charming and after a few weeks of coming to the diner every day to flirt with her, he managed to convince her to run away with him, promising her the adventure of a lifetime and all the riches any girl like her could ever want. She would be his queen.

What Betty didn’t know at the time was that Alberto was a career criminal and wanted by the police for armed robbery. The adventure he had promised her? Running from the cops. The riches? Stolen from banks, museums, and jewellery stores. It wasn’t what she had in mind when she was told she’d be his queen but what was the alternative? Going back to that dead-end job in that dead-end town, dreaming of a life she almost had once but let slip through her fingers? No way. So Betty embraced her new life of crime and started helping Alberto pull off some of his biggest heists. Now they were both wanted criminals. He had the muscle and the experience, she had the feminine charm. Between the two of them, they could get in anywhere. They were unstoppable.

But Betty’s gotten tired of Alberto’s promises, lately. He keeps promising her “just one more heist” and then they’ll settle down far away in a different country where no one recognises them in a big mansion with enough riches to never have to rob again. They can live cushy the rest of their lives. That was a dozen heists ago. Betty’s tired of living in their pickup truck and cheap motels. She was promised a life of luxury but what good is all the fancy clothes and jewels she has if she can’t walk down the street flaunting them? It’s not enough to just be his queen. She wants to be queen of the whole world!

They’re sitting on a large amount of cash in duffel bags and gold bars from their recent bank robbery. Alberto trusts her with the keys to the pickup truck where all their stolen valuables are. What if she just… drove away with all of it? What could he really do about it with no money and no car in the middle of nowhere?

Perhaps it’s time to stop waiting to be given her crown and just take it for herself.

Mod Description

This mod adds a plethora of random text messages and phone calls from NPCs to make your Sims’ relationships with others feel more alive. You can expect phone calls from your Sims’ parents, friends, and lovers as well as an assortment of strangers. Some of them are funny, others are wholesome, and some are just designed to torment your Sims (just like phone calls in real life!). The traits your Townies have will also affect what kind of phone calls you will receive and what Sims will want to talk about. The traits your active Sims have will also affect how they react to these calls; Outgoing and Cheerful Sims will love hearing from their friends, but don’t expect a Loner Sim to ever really be enthused about an unsolicited phone call, and your Unflirty Sims might not be keen on a sappy late night text from their SO.

Texts and Calls

There are many different types of text messages and phone calls you can expect to get during normal play. The ones available to you depend on who your Sim knows, who they’re friends with, and who is around in the world. Here are a few samples:

If your Sim had a good relationship with their parents growing up, they may call to check in on your Sim or give them some money.

Bros will call their friends to talk about recent happenings in sports.

Geeks will call their friends to talk about new video games and TV series.

Erratic Sims will call their friends to talk about weird things they saw.

Self-Absorbed Sims will call just about anyone they know to talk about themselves.

Criminals in your world may call you to scam you out of your money.

… and more!

Responses

Not every Sim will react to these calls in the same way. How they feel about the call will depend on their personality traits, too. Loner Sims are unlikely to ever be enthused about receiving an unsolicited phone call, and they might become Angry after a barrage of texts from a Self-Absorbed Sim, but Outgoing Sims will reap the benefits of constant social interaction. Squeamish Sims might have a more severe reaction to hearing about the gross escapades of a Slob Sim. Paranoid Sims can overreact to being asked to support a local political campaign. Oblivious Sims may not be able to resist the obvious scam. There are lots of possibilities!

Twitter user @Acidlure helped us to discover this Mod through their funny and interesting screenshots of what just some of the Text Prompts and Phone Calls look like.

For example, Dina Caliente letting them know that they just finished their massive #2:

The Sims 4 Developers are teasing something big

“Something” as in [REDACTED]

SimGurus, developers working on The Sims 4 have been very active recently on Twitter.

Tweeting a whole lot of something.

Something as in [REDACTED].

Truth be told, nothing has been shared as of yet. No information. No Screens. Not even a subtle hint regarding what the tweets are about. However, it seems that The Sims 4 Developers are all super proud on what they’re working on.

See it yourself:

It’s Monday and I’ve got to write some funny object text this week. Then some time playtesting the new [REDACTED] feature.

It’s hard not getting to share all the details. However, it is great getting to see all your reactions to the latest releases.

I can’t wait to see the Decor to the Max builds.

The Sims 4: Let’s Build a Bedroom Fit for a Tiger King!

The Sims 4: Let’s Build a Bedroom Fit for a Tiger King!

I am never going to artistically recover from this…

I’m sure most of us have seen the docuseries that gripped the world at the start of the pandemic lockdowns; Tiger King. For those unfamiliar with it, it’s a documentary that centres around an eccentric zoo owner by the name of Joe Exotic and his long-running feud with animal activist, Carole Baskin. It’s actually much crazier than that but… well, just go check it out if you haven’t already. You have to see it to believe it.

When we got our first glimpse into the new Décor to the Max kit, my eyes immediately locked onto all the tiger and animal print absolutely everywhere. Being a little… obsessed with the whole Joe Exotic saga (I’ve seen far more documentaries and have read a lot more books on the subject than I care to admit), I knew immediately what I’d be doing with the kit as soon as I got it. A tiger king needs a tiger palace and a palace for a tiger king needs the gaudiest royal bedchamber that too much money can buy!

Behold! The royal bedchamber of the (in)famous Tiger King! Or at least how I imagine Joe would design his palace if he had one.

What’s more over-the-top than black and gold everything, right? So that’s the colour scheme of this very busy bedroom. Peacock statues guard the platform steps leading up to the tiger king’s bed with tiger stripe bedding and matching nightstand lamps. Behind the bed is an elaborate curtain with tiger print wallpaper and some of the new modular wainscoting.

A seating area sits next to a fireplace with an infinity mirror above it and grand windows bring in natural light. Tassel lamps in the corner add a delightfully tasteless touch to the room and the busy patterned flooring is broken up with a rug that by all means shouldn’t belong in the space but somehow, it does.

The clash of so many colours and patterns all fighting to be noticed first is the most perfect example of trying so hard to look expensive that it ends up looking cheap which, I think, would be Joe’s style. It seems to fit the rest of his whole persona. In an alternate universe where Joe Exotic was as wealthy as he was famous and living like the king he believes he is, I could see him taking off his cape and crown at the end of a long day and turning in for the night in this room, dreaming of riding tigers into battles… or whatever a tiger king dreams about, I guess. Perhaps locking Carole Baskin in the dungeon or something.

If, for some inconceivable reason, you absolutely have to have this room in your game, it is in the Gallery. Yes, you too can be the Tiger King! Click the download link below or search for I Am The Tiger King under the ID SnarkyWitch in the Gallery. This build only uses Get Famous and Décor to the Max and has no CC.

The Sims 4 Custom Content: Provence Wedding Collection

We love to showcase amazing creators in our community and today, we’re bringing you an amazing collaboration between simcelebrity00 and miikocc! They have teamed up to create a wedding dress and hair collection that, frankly, puts all the Western wedding dresses from My Wedding Stories to shame.

This collection is currently in early access but will be available for free to the public on March 21st, 2022. Click the buttons below to download the set!

[mks_button size=”medium” title=”simcelebrity00″ style=”rounded” url=”https://www.patreon.com/posts/wedding-63165033″ target=”_blank” bg_color=”#4aa500″ txt_color=”#FFFFFF” icon=”fa-arrow-down” icon_type=”fa” nofollow=”0″] [mks_button size=”medium” title=”miikocc” style=”rounded” url=”https://miikocc.blogspot.com/2022/02/provence-wedding-set-dresses-hairstyle.html” target=”_blank” bg_color=”#4aa500″ txt_color=”#FFFFFF” icon=”fa-arrow-down” icon_type=”fa” nofollow=”0″]

The full collection comes with three hairstyles and five different styles of wedding dresses, all with 20+ swatches each! In total, there are eight items in the full collection.

miikocc’s Creations

We’re so impressed with the detail in all of these gorgeous dresses and hairstyles! Normally, we try to point out a few of our favourite pieces in collections like these but that might just be impossible with this set because they are all so amazing! Huge points to both creators for making such detailed CAS pieces look so flawlessly Maxis Match, too! We seriously can’t stop staring at this whole set in awe and wonder.

The detached sleeves on simcelebrity00’s dress takes us back to the Renaissance and we don’t want to leave anytime soon! And the delicate fern and hanging vines designs on miikocc’s dresses make us feel like we’re being whisked away to a magical fantasy world. We can definitely see either hairstyle pair beautifully with any of the dresses as well for a breezy, whimsical, boho wedding look.

We are eagerly anticipating the public release of this beautiful wedding collection. We are already daydreaming about all the breathtaking bridal looks we’ll be able to put together using these stunning pieces. The My Wedding Stories game pack was a bitter disappointment but talented creators like simcelebrity00 and miikocc really make The Sims 4 the enjoyable experience that it was meant to be.
