6 The Sims 4 Packs that you should get during the Summer Sale

Don’t know which pack you should choose? Here’s my top picks for each pack type!

As you may have heard, Origin is having a HUGE sale right now where you can save up 50% on Expansion Packs, 25% on Game Packs and 20% on Stuff Packs (Fitness Stuff is an exception which is only 10% off). I’ve received many questions asking “Which pack do you recommend?” so I decided to write a quick article letting you know some of my top picks. Please note that everyone has their own taste in games so it’s perfectly fine if you don’t agree with my pick 🙂

Expansion Pack

My favorite Expansion Pack so far is definitely The Sims 4 Get Together. Not only does it bring the biggest world The Sims 4 has ever gotten but it also introduces a game-changing feature: Clubs. You can manipulate multiple Sims and go out on adventures that you define. Clubs are a perfect tool for storytelling and the best thing about them is that they’re enhanced each time a new pack is released (meaning that you can encourage Sims from your club to do an interaction that a certain pack has brought).

Game Packs

There are already 5 game packs for The Sims 4 so it came down to 2 of my favorite Game Packs: Dine Out and Parenthood.

On one hand we basically have a time-management “spin-off” for The Sims 4 where you get to create, visit and manage restaurants. It’s perfect for control freaks like me because you get to manage details like which recipes your restaurant will offer, who will work in your restaurant, what should your staff wear and many more options.

Parenthood delivers gameplay that we’ve been wanting since The Sims 4’s release – giving a lot more meaning to your Sim’s growing up. As a parent you get to discipline your young’uns and watch them develop into adults with positive (or negative) traits that they’ve earned during their growing up. There are plenty of interactions that you can explore that will influence your Sim’s character values which makes the pack so valuable.

Stuff Packs

It’s really hard to pick my favorite Stuff Pack because there are already 11 of them! Still, it came down to these 3 SPs: Kids Room, Backyard Stuff and Vintage Glamour.

Kids Room adds new objects and clothing that are focused just for kids! There’s also a ton of new gameplay (for a Stuff Pack at least) including the puppet theatre, Voidcritter battle station, voidcritter collectibles and a new TV channel.

Backyard Stuff is good because it adds plenty of small gameplay objects including wind chimes, flower power outdoor light, large umbrella table, bird feeder, summer drink tray and of course, the water slide.

Vintage Glamour stepped it up introducing a new NPC – the butler! The items and clothing bring a twist to all the modern objects we’ve already gotten used to. Along with the new NPC you get a vanity table and a globe bar.

The Sims 4: Trying to kill my Sim with Emotions

The Sims 4: Trying to kill my Sim with Emotions

I’ve never gotten to a point where my Sims would die from strong emotions (death by anger, embarassment or laughter) because usually when I’m writing articles that involve such death causes I use cheats which boost emotions. However, this time around I’ll try to make my Sim die from an emotion without using any cheats.

For this article I’ll be trying to make my Sim die from anger. To make things easier for me I’ve made a Sim (Frank) with the Hot-Headed trait which should hopefully speed up the process.

The Sims 4: Trying to kill my Sim with Emotions

I think the easiest way to make Frank angry is through socialization with other Sims so I’ll be waiting for the welcome wagon to heat things up.

The Sims 4: Trying to kill my Sim with Emotions

However, the welcome wagon didn’t show up for some odd reason so I had to go to the park and meet new people that my Sim will get angry at in the future.

I tried to be rude to the first Sim I saw in the park. However, that only made the Sim I was socializing with angry, not Frank who was just fine.

The Sims 4: Trying to kill my Sim with Emotions

I was really surprised how hard it was to get my Sim angry other than the random angry moodlet which my Sim got from the Hot-Headed trait. Even that moodlet only lasted for 3 hours and didn’t have a strong effect on my Sim.

Maybe I’ll have better luck on the next day….

I couldn’t make Frank angry no matter what but I decided to give socialization another go. I went to the Rattlesnake Juice Bar in hope to meet new Sims that Frank could get angry at.

I tried to be rude towards Juliette but no matter what I do, Sims just don’t want to fight back and they quickly leave the conversation with anger.

The Sims 4: Trying to kill my Sim with Emotions

Quite Frank-ly (haha, get it??? okay, I should leave..) I realized while playing that the best way to make my Sim die from anger is not to live alone but live with another Sim who will keep provoking Frank day and night. I went to the gallery and added Andre DaSilva to my household – another Hot-Headed Sim.

The Sims 4: Trying to kill my Sim with Emotions

I tried to make Andre mean to Frank and it eventually worked – my Sim was finally angry! But, there are 2 more emotional levels to go through before my Sim can die from anger. To make his anger stronger I’ve made Frank do an angry painting which should emit an angry aura.

Thanks to the Hot-Headed Trait, Andre was able to rile up Frank which gave him another +2 angry moodlet, making him Very Angry. Let’s hope the angry painting will make him enraged.

The Sims 4: Trying to kill my Sim with Emotions

Frank’s painting skills were so bad that he didn’t manage to make an angry painting with good quality, making the emotional aura really weak. It took 2 angry paintings to get one +1 angry moodlet:

The Sims 4: Trying to kill my Sim with Emotions

Because Andre was angry as well thanks to the paintings, he had access to new mean interactions which should hopefully make Frank even more angry:

The Sims 4: Trying to kill my Sim with Emotions

The interactions didn’t really help so I thought that the Fight option would be the best. I wish I didn’t do that as Frank lost the battle and the Dazed emotion was in full effect instead of Angry:

The Sims 4: Trying to kill my Sim with Emotions

My Sims have been exchanging insults for almost a day without any significant results but I didn’t want to give up just yet. After the dazed emotion wore off I made Frank do another angry painting which didn’t result in anything. However, Andre declaring Frank as an enemy really helped a lot, giving Frank another +2 angry moodlet:

The Sims 4: Trying to kill my Sim with Emotions

Whatever I did just wasn’t enough to reach the 3rd level of the angry emotion, so I tried the unthinkable.

I made Frank fall in love with Babs L’Amour, another Sim I’ve added to this household in order to succeed at killing Frank. I wanted to make things more extreme and have Babs and Frank marry each other, have Andre flirt on Babs and have Frank walk into the room during that scenario (really ambitious, right?) Thankfully this is The Sims so it should only take me about few hours to do that – or so I thought. I completely forgot the fact that Babs is Noncommittal which is why she rejected the proposal. That really hit Frank hard, making him very embarrassed.

The Sims 4: Trying to kill my Sim with Emotions

Seeing how strong the “Rejected!” moodlet is I’ve decided to kill Frank by mortification. It shouldn’t be too hard this time around….

I had to carefully prepare for this. I took care of all of Frank’s emotions except bladder. Then, I made him and Babs go to the park and try the proposal again, which failed of course.

The Sims 4: Trying to kill my Sim with Emotions

Then, just at the right time, my Sim’s bladder failed.

The Sims 4: Trying to kill my Sim with Emotions

This is it – Frank finally reached the 3rd emotional level. He’s not dying from anger but at least my mission here to kill a Sim with an emotion is complete.

 

When it comes to trying to kill your Sim with anger, be patient. There are several reasons why I failed to kill my Sim with anger:

  • My angry paintings didn’t have a strong emotional aura because of the low painting skill.
  • I focused too much on socialization without including other everyday aspects of a normal Sim’s life (failure at work, getting fired, losing in a video game etc.)

Still, this story is over and Babs and Andre ended up getting together.

And they lived happily ever after… (except poor Frank)

The Sims 4: Emotional Memories

The Sims 4: Emotional Memories

Seeing as we’re celebrating the brilliant The Sims 4 base game I decided to dig out a fantastic feature in the game which often goes unnoticed. The Sims 4 has a dedicated memory system which of course links in with the emotions within the game, have you ever wanted events in your sims lives to affect them in the present? Well wish no more because I’m going to tell you about the emotional memory system!

You may know of the system and how great it is, but so many players don’t as it’s not immediately obvious it even exists, I’m going to show you exactly how you can use it. The system is great for story tellers and adds a whole new depth to gameplay.

Guide

  1. Firstly you must get your sim into an emotional state, every single one (including fine) has an allocated memory, but this is a bit tricky as it’s not as simple as an emotion causing the same emotional memory, check out this list for the memory/emotion combinations.

Happy – Happy memory

Sad – Sad memory

Angry – Angry memory

Confident – Confident memory

Embarrassed – Embarrassed memory

Flirty – Flirty memory

Inspired – Inspired memory

Fine – Happy memory

Playful – Happy memory

Dazed – Happy memory

Uncomfortable – Sad memory

Tense – Sad memory

Bored – Sad memory

Focused – Confident memory

Energised – Confident memory

 

2. Next you should take a screenshot including the sim who has the ideal emotion, make sure the emotion belongs to the active sim as this is the emotion the memory will take. All sims involved in the memory will be able to recall this memory and take the active sims emotion, not the one they had at the time.

The Sims 4: Emotional Memories

3. Once you’ve taken a screenshot you should enter the screenshot manager, this can be found by clicking the camera options button to the right of the speed settings. Once there you should select the screenshot you have just taken.

The Sims 4: Emotional Memories

4. When you click this you can then press the button circled below which modifies the screenshot into an emotional memory, this means that it can be remembered and has an affect on any sims involved. This will also tell you what kind of emotion is linked to the memory.

The Sims 4: Emotional Memories

5. Once this is done the memory will gain an icon and an emotion, from this screen you can also view which sims are involved in the memory, you can delete and add sims back to the list. If a sim isn’t in the image they can not be added.

The Sims 4: Emotional Memories

So that’s it! Now you can let your sims remember days past, it’s honestly a really good system. I would say this easily rivals The Sims 2’s memory system which was limited in that you couldn’t add custom memories. Spread the word and let your Simming friends know their sims can remember the good old days!

The first version of The Sims 4 was a mess

The first version of The Sims 4 was a mess

Installing the first version of The Sims 4 Base Game version wasn’t easy, but I somehow managed to do it.

After launching the game I was immediately greeted with the familiar main menu which is very minimalistic and features video clips of Sims doing things instead of a render with visual effects.

The first version of The Sims 4 was a mess

Immediately I noticed something off-putting about the first version. There’s something about font styling that’s very odd and disturbing, at least to me. There’s an unusal amount of spacing between    each    word    which    is    present    in    the    entire    game (I added extra spacing in the last few words to prove a point).

Moving on to Create A Sim, there are a couple of things I noticed that are missing right away and that’s Toddlers and Gender Customization. What was so apparent about the gender customization features is that I was only able to pick 3 voice types and not 6 like we can today. Same goes for clothing, hairstyles and other items which are exclusive to male and female genders.

What’s also missing is the Swimwear outfit category (because there were no pools back in the day) and the option to randomize Sims from the gallery. There are also 2 traits that you won’t find in the first version of this game and those are Jealousy and Kleptomaniac.

The whiteness of the loading screen really burns your eyes, especially if you were playing the game during night time.

The first version of The Sims 4 was a mess

World maps were a bit of a mess because you couldn’t tell what a lot looks like until you hover over a certain neighborhood.

Once I started playing with my household I immediately noticed that there’s weird stuttering in the game. After The Sims 4 has launched the game had to go through several updates for it to be optimized for all computers. Until then, many simmers had to play the game that was mostly stuck in 30-40 fps with sudden drops here and there.

One thing that annoyed me the most are the in-game tutorials. Just when you think you got rid of the tutorial it pops up again for a different feature when you click on something. It literally took me about 15 to 20 minutes to get rid of it completely. I tried entering the -no_tutorial command in Origin game options however it seems that game options only work when you’re in online mode, and I had to go offline because otherwise I wouldn’t be able to enter the game without updating it first.

Update: it turns out the command to bypass tutorials is actually –no_tutorial (with two dashes). However, you won’t be needing this because it’s easy to turn off tutorials in the current version.

The more I played the game the more I noticed how essential features were missing. The absence of pools, ghosts and genealogy really makes the game bareboned, not to mention that the game didn’t even come with dishwashers…

Build Mode was also missing some crucial things like basements, half-walls and useful tools like copy room or place the ability to move the entire lot around, not just the house structure.

During conversation you’d have to scroll through all Sims involved instead of having a full thumbnail list of sims involved:

The first version of The Sims 4 was a mess

The phone on the current Sims 4 version luckily no longer looks like this:

The first version of The Sims 4 was a mess

There’s an issue that was common in the month of September 2014 (before it was patched out) where Sims would just magically go missing. For example, the moment my baby Sim aged up to child (glad that’s no longer a thing) she was missing and I couldn’t find her or focus on her by right-clicking her thumbnail.

There was something about the user interface design that just didn’t look pleasing, and I’m not just talkinga bout the weird spacing between words…

The first version of The Sims 4 was a mess

What really, really bugs me about this version is how Sims can’t stay in one place when socializing. If they have many surfaces to sit on around them while socializing they’ll move around like crazy.

The first version of The Sims 4 was a mess

There are a lot more bugs that I encountered, such as my Sims getting stuck under the stairs or my Sim collecting dishes and stopping for no reason, scattering all the dishes they’ve collected around them.

There are a few things that I noticed that are missing in the current version of The Sims 4 and that were present back in the day:

You were able to take screenshots in game, turn those screenshots into memories and assign a certain emotion to each memory, so that when a Sim chooses the “Reminisce” interaction they’d get a moddlet appropriate with the emotion you’ve assigned to the memory.

UPDATE: I found out you can still do that in the current version, just not choose an emotion at your will. Check out our Emotional Memories article for more info!

The first version of The Sims 4 was a mess

What really struck out in this version of The Sims 4 is the way that outdoor shadows are moving. They’re natural and are rendered about 1-2 times each second, unlike in the current version of The Sims 4 where they’re updated every 5 seconds. Seriously though, they became really choppy since around the end of 2015 and we still have no explanation why is that so.[mks_col]

Playing with this version of The Sims 4 really made me realize how far we’ve come in terms of base game content. The game went through a lot of needed cosmetic changes and the features we’ve gotten such as new life stage, pools, ghosts, new build tools and a lot more were really welcome. I’m not sure why they initally charged this game for 60$ when it didn’t have many features we have today.

Today, not only does the base game feel more complete but it’s also a lot more cheaper than before. If you’re planning to get The Sims 4 you can either get it HERE on Origin or subscribe to Origin Access and have it as a part of the Access Vault.

The Sims Through the Years: 10th July

On this day just 5 years ago The Sims 3: Diesel Stuff was released, this pack added real life Diesel branded clothes and items in to The Sims 3 which was definitely a welcomed addition. The Pack received a warm welcome and adds that extra touch of style to the game.

Thankfully the pack didn’t just add clothing, plenty of brand new furniture which was equally stylish as the clothes made their way to the buy section. Mostly modern and contemporary the items made any home the perfect environment for their sims.

My quest to install the first version of The Sims 4

It’s the first day of our Base Game Week and I’m planning to do a huge comparison article of the first version of The Sims 4 Base Game vs the current version. If you wish to do this as well please note that you can only find the first version on The Sims 4 CDs sold in retail stores. However, it won’t be that easy for me since I already have the latest version of The Sims 4 and all packs installed on my computer. Before I install content from the CD I’ll have to make sure I’ve moved all TS4 files from Origin Games install directory to some place safe.

My quest to install the first version of The Sims 4

Do not try the following steps at home!

So, I copy – pasted all of my TS4 installed files to Documents, out of Origin’s reach.

My quest to install the first version of The Sims 4

The next step was to secure all of my save game files and paste them some place safe as well.

After I’ve done all that, I had to make sure that the game is completely removed from my system.

My quest to install the first version of The Sims 4

Now my computer is completely The Sims 4-free, at least that’s how my computer sees it.

I put the first disc into my computer and waited for the install startup:

My quest to install the first version of The Sims 4

I had to disconnect my internet during the installation process as the installed would force me to automatically download the new version of the game if I still was connected to the internet.

My quest to install the first version of The Sims 4

After finishing the installation I connected to the internet. Immediately Origin tried to update the game (wow, 3,5GB of base game content has been added over the last 3 years) and install all of my packs. However, after cancelling the update all packs stopped downloading.

My quest to install the first version of The Sims 4

I tried to open the game but Origin didn’t let me play it because it wasn’t update. I finally succeeded once I went to offline mode in Origin:

Over the next few days I’ll be doing a coverage on some important differences between the first version of The Sims 4 and the current version. Stick around!

Introducing Themed Weeks!

We’re introducing a brand new segment on Sims Community called Themed Weeks!

During themed weeks we’ll be releasing articles, tips, tricks and spotlights that are all related to a certain game that we’re dedicating our week to. Themed weeks are planned according to news, announcements and quarterly teasers, so expect a themed week each time there’s not much going on related to news and announcements.

To celebrate the launch of The Sims 4 Base Game (Digital Deluxe) on Origin Access, we’ll be dedicating the upcoming week starting July 10th to July 16th to the Base Game. Expect all sorts of interesting articles and tips for the game.

We hope you enjoy our themed weeks and if you have any suggestions regarding which theme you’d like to see next, let us know in the comment section and / or tweet us @TheSimCommunity.

Expect first base game related posts to surface in the next 24 hours!

Introducing Themed Weeks!

The Sims 4: SimGuruKimmi wants your Car Gameplay Feedback!

UPDATE: SimGuruKimmi added a new tweet saying that her tweet asking for car gameplay feedback was nothing more but her curiosity as a simmer:

Cars are something that Simmers wanted to see in The Sims 4 since its release, and now it’s your chance to help that happen!

SimGuruKimmi asked on twitter for your feedback related to how would you like to see cars be implemented into the game.

As you probably know, The Sims 4 only has “visual decor cars” that appear in neighborhoods. There is no option to own a car and a garage like in The Sims 2 or The Sims 3. This is your perfect chance to be heard and let SimGurus know about your car gameplay ideas.

You can reply to this tweet and post your feedback to The Sims Forums (there’s already a petition for cars!).

Our Opinion: The Latest Quarterly Teaser

Our Opinion: The Latest Quarterly Teaser

Hello everyone and welcome to a brand new series here on SimsCommunity! This is ‘Our Opinion’ and it’s pretty much what it sounds like, as writers on here we don’t often get to express our opinions on big announcements, so this is aimed at changing that. Please note while this article is based off the opinions and views of some of the staff it is not a reflection of the whole team.

I’m sure most people reading this will be aware that the quarterly teaser for July, August and September was released a couple of days ago and it was met with critisism, a lot of people were upset because there was only one pack shown in the teaser.

SnarkyWitch – When I was in university, The Sims 3 was the most current game and I always found myself scrambling for money to purchase the new packs for it during the school year because there were so many other things I had to pay for like rent and groceries and tuition fees and school books. Then when summer rolled around and I stayed with my parents and no longer had to pay for all those things, there were no packs to buy!

 

The team felt the same way, most of us agree it isn’t fantastic that we’re only getting one pack over summer and honestly we felt it didn’t make sense. The Sims series is aimed at children and teenagers and while a whole array of people do play a huge chunk have the whole summer away from school/college. We thought that generally most have more money through summer jobs and not having to spend as much day-to-day so we couldn’t understand why the Guru’s wouldn’t take advantage of this, releasing more packs than during other months.

This isn’t a surprise though, if history is anything to go by packs don’t often get released during summer. During the 17 years since The Sims was released there has only been 8 packs released during July and August, although with all the leaks and spoilers recently hopefully after this quarter the news might be a bit more exciting.

Krista –  I’m actually pretty excited for this pack. It’s nice to see a pack aimed at toddlers although I really do hope there is more than just this pack this quater.

 

It isn’t all bad though, we all mutually agree’d that the toddler pack teased in the quarterly teaser looked awesome, with the lack of toddler items and clothing it’s definitely a welcomed addition and we all can’t wait for the release, as well as more onesies for our toddlers! Although we are excited, we can’t help but think that it’s going to be a long summer.

Let us know what you thought about the quarterly teaser and the new toddler stuff pack coming out soon!
