The game’s recent survey and feedback sessions inspired the game creator with new feature plans!
The team at InZOI has just shared the results of recent game surveys and feedback sessions. Sharing results and progress for upcoming InZOI Game Features that the team plans to pushes out before the 1.0 version launch. There’s a lot more polish and nuanced features revealed in a Wednesday message this week from InZOI’s boss Kjun, who shared new key talking points about what they’re tackling next.
The team acknowledges feedback in areas for general game and system improvements, more realistic emotions, game’s cultural diversity and additional game features.
This week as well, we carefully reviewed a wide range of community feedback and suggestions. Many of you have shown strong anticipation for the upcoming update, and while that enthusiasm is something we truly appreciate, it also brings a certain level of concern. Expectations can be a powerful source of motivation for us, but we want to ensure they remain grounded. Alongside many positive reactions to recent updates, you have also shared a substantial number of ideas for improvements and new features.
In particular, we received detailed feedback regarding the character personality system, the development of baby and toddler stages, career systems such as hair stylists and clothing store management, the introduction of a first-person perspective, MetaHuman integration, and various features aimed at enhancing realism and immersion.
Community Response and Key Updates
There is strong interest in the introduction of first-person perspective and the addition of careers such as hair stylists and clothing store operators. Many of you expressed a desire for more detailed mechanics within the hair stylist career, including processes like washing, drying, and dyeing, as well as customer satisfaction systems. To be precise, these elements have not been fully implemented in this update. Interest in the baby stage remains high, with requests for more detailed growth processes (such as walking and speaking), as well as a wider variety of hairstyles and clothing. We are continuing to expand these options, and additional outfits are planned for May. Regarding MetaHuman integration, there have been concerns about clipping issues and requests for improvements to the genetic system. Many of you are asking for a more sophisticated system where traits are inherited from both parents in a more realistic way. Currently, inZOI relies on transformations based on a base face, which imposes certain limitations on facial blending. We will continue internal discussions on how to improve this.
Gameplay and System Improvements
Within the career system, there is strong demand for more diverse tasks, clearer promotion pathways, the inclusion of minigames, and more realistic job activities (such as firefighting or expanded police duties). The Career update we are preparing follows a “Fundamental First” approach. Our priority is to strengthen core elements that have not been sufficiently developed so far, such as interviews, promotions, leave systems, and remote work. We will continue expanding job variety in subsequent updates. There were also many detailed suggestions regarding clothing store management, including inventory control, trend responsiveness, personalized outfit recommendations, fashion shows, and social media marketing systems. Currently, the store provides a direct purchase experience through mannequins. We are preparing to incorporate the requested features to deliver a more robust and engaging management experience. For the hair stylist career, many of you requested deeper mechanics such as hair length changes, temporary dye effects, tip variations based on customer satisfaction, diverse hairstyle and accessory combinations, and even the separation of male barbershops. We plan to implement a system where available styles depend on the character’s skill level, and we will continue refining the experience based on your feedback. There were also frequent comments regarding the lack of natural variation in emotional expression and animation, as well as requests to strengthen the visual representation of personality systems. Improvements in these areas are planned for May, including additional animations and better alignment between emotions and animation output.
Interface, Graphics, and Additional Features
In build mode, there were requests for advanced tools such as multi-selection, group saving, object rotation, and mirroring. Additional feedback included improvements to texture management, controller usability, skin quality, and camera height adjustment. If “object rotation” refers to free rotation, we are considering providing this as a cheat option. As for mirroring, while duplicating object placement is feasible, generating true mesh-level symmetry is technically challenging. Providing duplication-based alternatives may be more practical, and we would value your input on this direction. We also recognize that managing large numbers of textures can be cumbersome, and we will discuss UI improvements internally.
Cultural Diversity and Immersion
There were suggestions to deepen immersion by incorporating global cultural elements and seasonal events such as Christmas, New Year, Valentine’s Day, and Halloween, while still maintaining the core Korean cultural identity of the game. We also received requests to expand representation through diverse hairstyles, ethnic backgrounds, and sexual orientations. We are continuously developing additional clothing and hairstyles in this regard.
Additional Suggestions and Future Content
Many of you proposed expanding interactive career experiences in fields such as healthcare (doctors, nurses) and education (teachers), along with the addition of related facilities like hospitals and pharmacies. There is also strong interest in expanding into sports (such as ice hockey and skating), as well as creative and social professions like photographers, models, and musicians. Further suggestions included diversifying vehicle types, improving transportation systems, expanding urban environments, and increasing flexibility in building placement. Enhancing realism through more varied NPC behavior was also frequently mentioned, including child safety systems, deeper NPC interactions, crime systems, and vehicle collision responses. Conclusion
Thank you again for the wide range of thoughtful and engaging feedback this week. Even suggestions submitted during the writing of this message, such as the surfing idea, have already been reviewed and discussed internally. We were also inspired by the visuals and concepts many of you shared alongside your feedback. Your passion continues to be a significant source of motivation for the development team. However, it is important to clarify that there will not be a major update this month. Our current focus is on stabilization and strengthening the foundational systems of the game.
Thank you, and we will see you on Friday. — kjun
P.S. Today, due to a bug, a beautiful female customer came into the salon and ended up like this. Haha. We will make sure to fix it before sharing it with you.

If you haven’t noticed, your Miis are kind of obsessed with you in Tomodachi Life Living the Dream. They ask you for relationship advice, they want to know things about you, and of course, they want to play Tomodachi Life minigames with you. There are a variety of minigames that you may encounter, some more challenging than others, but they’re worth playing to earn some sweet (or incredibly silly) prizes.
Guide to Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream Minigames
How To Know When Miis Want To Play
You’ll know Miis want to play minigames when flashing green rectangles appear over Miis’ heads. Simply click on them to find out which game they want to play with you. You can opt not to play with them, but there’s really no reason not to play, as losing doesn’t have negative consequences for your Mii.
Rewards For PlayingMinigames
If you win Tomodachi Life minigames, you don’t win money or Warm Fuzzies. Instead, you are presented with three baskets — small, medium, and large. These represent the size of what’s in the basket, but other than that, it’s pretty unpredictable. You can get all kinds of different treasures, from pets to solar panels to singular earbuds. Even when you win, you’re not guaranteed a nice gift, as I pulled a dirty sock from the middle basket. Much like most things in Tomodachi Life, the gifts are random. Pulling something good is based on luck.
Now, you don’t go home empty-handed if you lose. Your Miis will console you by gifting you toilet paper or a box of tissues. Feels more like mocking than consoling if you ask me — maybe it would be better to not get anything at all.
Quiz Games
The majority of Tomodachi Life minigames are quizzes, which involve you making guesses based on some kind of image your Miis show you. Each game has three rounds. That said, you don’t get to finish the game if you make an incorrect guess.
Zoom Quiz
This minigame is exactly what it sounds like. You’ll be shown three very zoomed-in shots of objects, and then you have to guess what they are.
Shadow Quizzes
There are actually three kinds of Shadow Quiz minigames in Living the Dream, but all of them have the same basic gist — you are given a blacked-out image and have to guess what it is. First, there’s the regular Shadow quiz, which will show you images of things and foods (which can include custom items you’ve made!). Then there’s the Double Shadow Quiz, where two blacked-out images — again of food and things — will be on top of each other. You’ll have three options, and you have to select two of them.
These item-based games can be tricky because the outline of a lot of foods just looks like a plate. You could try to cheat some of the options by looking up images of the Living the Dream foods, but often it may just have to come down to a lucky guess.
Finally, there’s the Mii Shadow Quiz, where you are given the outlines of your Miis and have to guess who is behind the shadow.
Pixel Quiz
With the Pixel Quiz, Miis will give you pixelated editions of Living the Dream items, and you’ll have to guess what’s behind the pixels.
Latte Art Quiz
If you have the Tomoria Restaurant unlocked, you may encounter the Latte Art Quiz. Slide into a booth with your Mii, and they’ll show you cups of coffee with swirly images of island residents. All you have to do is guess whose image has been swirled.
No Repeats
In this Tomodachi Life minigame, the Mii chooses a topic like food. Then you trade off listing topic items (you get a list of three options to choose from) until one of you says a non-topic item, one of you says a topic item that’s already been said, or you take too long to answer. This can go on for a little while if you keep answering correctly. There is also a group edition of No Repeats, where more Miis are involved, which makes it trickier as now it’s not just one Mii’s answers you need to remember.
Coin Spin
Coin Spin is your classic game of heads or tails. Just pick your favored side and watch the coin (which will feature the head of one of your Miis in a wig) with bated breath to see if you get lucky.
Moving Cups
This Tomodachi Life minigame is another Tomoria special. It’s the classic cup game: you have to follow the cup, hiding a coin underneath as the Mii moves them around. There are three rounds, each with faster movement of the cups. As a heads up, in the third round, Miis tend to do a last-minute switch-up, so stay focused until those winning boxes show up!
What’s Missing?
The What’s Missing? minigame can trigger once you have a mansion (the Mii will be sitting at the table). The Mii will show you two images of foods or treasures. You have to point out what item is not shown. The Mii will count down from three, which can feel overwhelming, but you generally don’t need that much time to pick. That said, sometimes the items overlap so much that one becomes completely hidden. At that point, it’s another Tomodachi Life lucky guess.
Bowling
Instead of having your Miis bowl like they do in Wii Sports, here your Miis are the pins that need to be knocked down. The number of Mii pins varies, and the more Mii pins you have, the more rolls you get. For example, with seven Miis, you get three rolls. With ten Miis, you get four rolls.
Poke The Ferris Wheel
Unlocking the Ferris Wheel also unlocks the Poke the Ferris Wheel minigame where, shockingly, you have to poke the Ferris Wheel. The goal is to end the game with the gondola at the bottom of the wheel. You get a certain number of pokes, which you can make more powerful by holding A. But you have to use all of the pokes, so make sure to pace your pokes.
Another game taken straight out of real life, Red Light Green Light asks you to try and sneak up behind a Mii within 30 seconds. On green light, the Mii won’t look, and you can approach them by dragging your right joystick. When Miis call red light, you have to stop moving as they whip their head around. It’s a pretty simple game, until they perform a fakeout by calling green light and then immediately calling red light again. It might be wise to wait a second before moving after they call green light, lest you get caught in their trap.
Odd One Out
This last Tomodachi Life minigame is a group minigame (a cluster of four Miis will have the green rectangles!) where you have to pick which Mii in a lineup of four doesn’t belong. The Mii might be wearing a different costume than the rest or posing differently. It’s memory-based, as you only have a second or two to spot the difference before having to answer.
It’s very much random as to which game your Miis want to play. You can have a fairly high-leveled island and still not have run into all of the games, even the ones that don’t require a facility to unlock.
EA Community Managers are already teasing up the next Sims 4 Update!
It’s been a while since we’ve gotten news about the next The Sims 4 Update. Today there’s an official confirmation from an EA Community Manager, stating that the next update “is an update alright”, rather than just a bug-fixes release.
Community Manager Cade also confirmed the general focus of Sims 4 improvements for the first half of may. Confirming that we’re already on track to see improvements for Infants, Toddlers and General Sim Autonomy. The feedback for these were collected weeks ago in the linked Discord Feedback discussions, and it seems we’re already getting the final product release in May 2026.
The Community Manager noted that we’re first getting a Laundry List “in very early may”, shortly after which you should expect this Update to drop.
Here are all the messages about the next Sims 4 Update shared in the official Sims Discord channel:
Question: i doubt you can answer it, but is the base-game update an update or is it just bug-fixes
EA Community Manager: Oh it’s an update alright, but you’ll need to wait for the Laundry List to drop for more than that
Infants, Toddlers, and general Sim autonomy are the focuses of our upcoming Base Game update in May. Watch for the Laundry List in very early May.
Statement: i’ve had a few of the bug reports i’ve commented on get updated with “fix coming” or however it’s worded
EA Community Manager: That’s great! “Upcoming Fix” is our last stop in the life of a bug before we release an update to resolve them.
Ongoing Work
We’re currently in final testing for a fix for the Secret Witness sentiment issue and expect it to be included in our Base Game update in May. We’re also wrapping up work on resolving reports of the Scandal icon not dismissing properly, which is likewise targeted for the May update.
Thanks for your patience while we worked through these!

With The Sims 4 Challenge Tracker Mod by SimMattically, you can organize your goals and have your legacy challenge directly in your game. Keeping track of your legacy challenge gameplay has never been easier, or more fun in my opinion! No more double-checking the challenge for the millionth time or keeping separate notes. Let’s explore this new feature!
The Sims 4 Challenge Tracker Mod by SimMattically: Guide
What’s The Sims 4 Challenge Tracker Purpose?
For all the legacy challenge players out there, this is a real game changer. With this new feature, you can write down all the goals for your legacy challenge using the so called Challenge Creator and add it directly into your game. This makes it easy to keep track of your goals and check them off as you play. As you can see in the picture below this is where you start writing down the challenge and goals.
What is a Legacy Challenge?
A Legacy Challenge in The Sims is a long-term challenge where you play as one family across many generations. It usually begins with a single Sim, and your goal is to slowly build a family that grows over time. Each generation can have different goals, rules, or story ideas to follow, and this can include love stories, chaos, and more. It’s very common for legacy challenges to have themes, such as fruits, colors, and some are even inspired by movies characters. Legacy challenges are loved because they make the game feel more meaningful, while build your own family tree. A well known legacy challenge is Very Veggie created by Lilsimsie, check out our playthrough here.
Pick a legacy challenge you want to play, or why not create your own. You can add your own customized banner, name, and description for each challenge to make it feel unique. You can also add rules, for example, if money cheats are allowed, or if your Sim must have specific traits, aspiration and so on.
Made by Sulsulmelli
You can customize which packs that are required, and if you don’t have one, that specific goal will be greyed out. There’s also an option to track numerical progress, meaning that if you need to reach a certain skill level, it will show something like 4/6 is completed.
There’s also an option to group goals. For example, if your challenge includes a “this or that” scenario, you can separate the paths and choose which one you want to complete. Once you’ve written down all your goals, added icons for each level, and feel satisfied with everything, it’s time to download the package file and place it in your Mods folder.
Gameplay Features
When you open your game, you can find your challenge by clicking on the Aspiration icon. This is where all your goals will be displayed, making it easy to keep track of your progress as you play. Whenever you complete a goal and want to check it off your list, simply right-click on the task, and it will automatically be marked as completed.
All progress is tied to the household you are playing with, so it will automatically be saved. This means you can easily continue right where you left off the next time you play.
Have you tried The Sims 4 Challenge Tracker yet? What is your thoughts about it so far? Let us know in the comments below and as always, keep up with the latest news on Sims Community.

Goods
Different from Treasures, goods can be given to a Mii upon leveling up instead of quirks, and will give them a hobby or activity to do on their own. They’ll perform their hobby around the island or in their home, and may show it off to other Miis or engage them in said hobby if possible.

After years of waiting, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is finally here, bringing back its signature mix of chaos, humor, and social simulation with a much greater sense of scale. This time, players can build out their island with a total of 13 different buildings, each one adding new activities, interactions, and ways to shape daily life between Miis. That said, returning players may quickly notice that a few familiar locations didn’t make the cut this time, leaving some gaps that stand out, at least at first.
A big part of that experience revolves around the Tomodachi Life shops, which nowfeel more integrated into your island’s overall progression. From food and clothing stores to creative spaces and social hubs, each building unlocks gradually as you play, expanding what your Miis can do. Rather than following a strict pattern, the game leans into a more organic kind of growth, where new shops and facilities appear as your island becomes more active.
Table of Contents
Tomodachi Life: How Facilities Work in Living the Dream
At the core of Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is a system of shops that evolves alongside your island. Each store introduces a different type of interaction, from buying food and clothing to customizing interiors or creating entirely new items. Rather than unlocking everything at once, Tomodachi Life facilities are gradually introduced as your island becomes more active, giving a steady sense of progression. Although it doesn’t actually take long to unlock them all.
Most facilities follow a similar structure. Stock rotates daily, usually offering a small selection of items, and anything you purchase gets added to the store’s permanent lineup. This creates a light collection system where checking in every day becomes part of the routine. At the same time, some shops go beyond simple buying and selling, tying into creativity, social interactions, or even minigames, which helps keep the overall experience varied.
What stands out is how these Tomodachi Life facilities are connected to your overall progress. New stores do not unlock through a single clear requirement, but through a mix of factors such as the number of Miis on your island, their relationships, and your daily activity. It is a system that feels less predictable, but also more natural, as your island slowly expands without following a strict path.
All Tomodachi Life Shops and Facilities in Living The Dream
Each building has its own price in the Quik Build shop. Check it out below:
Food Mart: Buy food with a small daily selection that rotates every day. Once purchased, items remain permanently available. Price: $1000
Wishing Fountain: Collect daily donations from your Miis and exchange them for wishes to unlock new features.
Where & Wear: Purchase clothing with new stock arriving daily. Like food, bought items stay in the shop permanently. You can buy separate clothes as well as complete outfits. Price: $1000
T&C Reno: Buy interior sets to customize your Miis’ homes. Price: $3000
Quik Build: Unlock and place decorative elements for your island, such as fences, plants and additional structures. Price: $1000
Palette House: Create custom content, including food, clothing, pets, and interiors, depending on your unlocks. Price: $1000
Treasure Shop: Purchase items and creations designed in Palette House. Costs $1000
MNN News Station: Watch daily news reports featuring your Miis, often tied to island events and unlocks. Price: $1000
Rite Price: Sell unwanted treasures and items for money. Price: $3000
Tomoria: A social restaurant where Miis gather and interact. Price: $300
Marketplace: A limited-time shop with discounts during the day and a mystery bag available at night. Price: $5000
Foto-Tomo: A photo studio with unlockable poses that expand as you progress. Price: $1000
Ferris Wheel: A late-game social spot that also includes a minigame when Miis invite you. Price: $8000
Some familiar locations from Tomodachi Life 3DS are notably absent in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream. Buildings like the Concert Hall, which allowed Miis to perform songs, or other smaller activity-focused spots, have not returned, at least in the current version of the game.
That said, part of their role seems to have been absorbed into the island itself. With a more open layout, Miis can now move around freely and interact in shared spaces, making the world feel less segmented than before. It also leaves the door open for future updates, so some of these missing features could always come back in a different form.
How to Unlock Tomodachi Life Shops in Living the Dream
Unlocking new Tomodachi Life shops in Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is not tied to a single requirement. Instead, the game uses a flexible system where different aspects of your island contribute to overall progression.
Adding more Miis is clearly part of the equation, but it is not the only factor. Building relationships, resolving Mii problems, increasing their happiness, and regularly interacting with them all seem to push the island forward. In many cases, new shops appear once you reach a certain level of overall activity, often introduced through short in-game news segments.
A good example of this is the Ferris Wheel, currently the final unlockable building. There is no consistent requirement across players, with some unlocking it earlier and others later. In my case, I unlocked it with 10 Miis on the island, a level of 22, and several established friendships and romantic relationships. This reinforces the idea that progression is tied to a combination of factors rather than a fixed milestone.
Because of this, unlocks do not happen at the same time for everyone. Some players may gain access to late-game buildings with fewer Miis, while others might need to spend more time developing relationships or engaging with daily tasks. The system feels intentionally open, encouraging you to focus on the life of your island rather than chasing specific requirements, although it doesn’t actually take long to unlock them all.

The tool can convert any image into a paintable pixel grid that acts as an easy step-by-step guide.
Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream is finally here, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve been loving all of the custom creations players have been coming up with. If you’re struggling with getting your designs looking perfect, don’t worry! The new ‘Living The Grid’ Pixel-Art tool, created by Reddit user Clement Gonzalvez is here to help.
The custom design process can be daunting, especially if you’re not familiar with digital art, but this tool makes it much simpler by providing a paint-by-numbers guide for custom designs. All you need is an image of the design you want, and Living The Grid does the rest for you. We’ll explore the tool and explain how it works below!
Table of Contents
Tool Information
Many players will be familiar with similar image conversion tools, such as those used to create custom designs in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Living The Grid is slightly different, however, as there is no option for a direct transfer from the tool to the game itself. Instead, the tool generates a design based on your image, presented in a pixel grid, which can then be used as a guide for drawing that same design in-game.
Living The Grid has a range of different grid sizes, all of which can be translated onto Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream‘s 256 × 256 canvas. The level of detail in your design will depend on the number of pixels you select. The tool’s colour palette also uses the exact same colour swatches – 77 swatches plus 7 pure saturated extras – organised using row and column labels to make recreating your designs a much simpler process!
The colours used in a design are outlined and labelled so you can easily find the same colours in-game.
Conversion tools in the past typically required a Nintendo Switch Online subscription in order to transfer designs via the app. Living The Grid is completely free to use, ad-free and works in your browser, so it doesn’t require an account or any downloads.
Gonzalvez stated the tool was created as they “really wanted to get into pixel art in the game but didn’t find satisfactory tools to help”, which inspired them to make their own and ease the process of drawing designs in-game.
How To Use Living The Grid
Getting started is simple – just upload the picture you want to recreate in game and you’ll be presented with an easy-to-follow guide. Be aware that the more colours your image uses, the less accurate the conversion will be due to the limitations of the game’s colour palette and pixel grid format.
The tool then generates a pixel-art version of your image using the closest colour matches from the in-game palette. On the left of the screen, you’ll see a range of adjustment options including preset colour palettes, the amount of colours used and the brush size. One great feature is the paint-by-numbers toggle in the display menu, which assigns each colour a number so you can see exactly where they are used in the image. You can also see where colours are used by hovering over them in the menu.
There are two stroke modes to choose from; pixel-perfect, which has four brush sizes that ‘snap’ to the grid, and smooth, which has six brushes that move more freely. Experiment with both to see which style you prefer the look of. In-game, pick your brush, set it to square and pixel and the canvas will behave like a pixel grid, making copying your designs over much easier.
Once you’ve adjusted your design to your liking, you’re ready to recreate it in Tomodachi Life. As we mentioned above, you cannot directly export your designs from Living The Grid into the game, you’ll still need to draw them out yourself.
Make sure you’re using pro-artist mode, as easy mode has a much more limited palette and less design tools. To open pro-artist mode, tap the gear icon top-right of the toolbar. The pixel art style can be a bit time consuming at first, especially if you’re new to it, but the Living The Grid tool is definitely a huge help when it comes to designing custom clothing, food and objects for your Miis to enjoy.
Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream is available now for Switch and Switch 2.

Have you ever had a sim born in your game with an extra trait you didn’t pick upon aging up, purchase through aspiration rewards, gain through personality discoveries, etc., and wondered where it came from? Sims 4 Inherited Traits are generally only discovered through gameplay with Sims born in-game, rather than those created in Create-A-Sim. These traits generally indicate something about a Sims heritage, childhood, or occult status (Or a combination of all three)!
If you prefer to play with premade sims, at least to test these traits, some Sims from expansion packs carry inheritable traits. Nyon Specter from Sims 4 Life & Death is a Grimborn sim, and Mara Summerdream from Sims 4 Enchanted by Nature has the High Fae Lineage trait.
How Inherited Traits Work/What They Are
Inheritable traits are traits that are carried through genetic lines or based on certain conception circumstances. These can include place of birth, special NPC status, or parent occult status. These traits can also be passed on via parents who inherited them already, allowing them to pass through multiple generations even once they are removed from the initial source.
Some of these traits carry special gameplay features, moodlets, buffs, etc., although some are just a simple nod to the sims conception as these can only occur with sims born in-game, and none of them can be applied in Create-A-Sim or gained through personality discovery.
To make it easier to reference or browse, this guide is sorted by packs. To keep it concise, EP means “Expansion Pack” and GP means “Game Pack” since all inherited traits come from either one of these two DLC types. While there are other traits that are temporary traits, bonus traits, hidden traits, etc., this article will primarily focus on traits inherited by a Sim’s parentage or conception.
The Sims 4 Inherited Traits By Pack
Table of Contents
EP: Cats & Dogs
Hidden Lighthouse Baby Trait
The first of the inheritable traits is a hidden one, only discovered through those rooting through the internal files of The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs DLC and from a funny little moodlet.
On the bottom corner of the Brindleton Bay map, the world featured in The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs, there is a lighthouse with a deep history in the town. Sims can visit this lighthouse just to do some sightseeing… or to woohoo in. To get this trait, a sim must be conceived from a “Try for Baby” interaction in the lighthouse.
Once your lighthouse baby is old enough, typically once they’ve aged up to a child, you can send them to Brindleton Bay to visit the lighthouse and receive this moodlet:
There’s something so familiar about this place. It fills <Sim Name> with an inner light. They are positively glowing!
EP: Seasons
Father Winter’s Baby
Anybody who has seasons is likely well aware of Father Winter, with his large amount of family funds, generosity in giving gifts like an expensive camera (or a piece of coal), and his jolly spirit. While he can be added or removed from any holiday created or edited by the player in-game, he will appear during the plain Sims 4 Seasons “Winterfest” Holiday, showing up around 9PM. He shows up near fireplaces, or just by walking through the door if one is not available or the area around it is inaccessible.
During his time at the home, or after if you get to know him, you can build a romantic relationship and deep friendship with Father Winter. This includes being able to Woohoo him, and more specifically, try for baby. A baby born to father winter will inherit the Father Winter’s Baby trait, with the following description. A little hint to this is, when your sim is giving birth, some mystical lights will pop up under them!
Wow! Father Winter is actually <Sim Name>’s Dad! That’s amazing! Wonder if they get any magical abilities?
While they do not have any magical abilities like their whimsical parent, sims with this trait do get an increase to their Satisfaction points gain by 50%!
EP: Island Living
Sulani Mana
Sulani Mana is a trait found on all Island Elemental sims, an occult type found in The Sims 4 Island Living that can be communed with if a sim has the Child of the Islands trait. Summoning them allows your sims to build a relationship with them, ask for their judgment in regards to the island itself. By having a child with an island elemental sim, the conceived baby will inherit the Sulani Mana trait, giving them the ability to increase a plant’s quality and summon the volcanic bombs that normally appear randomly with the Volcanic Activity lot challenge.
This Sim is imbued with Sulani’s elemental energy due to their heritage. They can increase the quality of plants as well as summon Volcanic Bombs.
EP: Life & Death
Burning Soul & Reborn
The Bucket List, or Unfinished Business if a sim passes before they’re able to complete it, is the primary gameplay mechanic to complete a sim’s Soul’s Journey. This expands upon the concept of aspirations and life satisfaction, allowing sims to become truly at peace before passing on (or to wreak havoc if their death is more… untimely). Sims get multiple rewards for different tiers of satisfaction, both while living and dead.
Once you have completely filled a living Sim’s Soul’s Journey, they will inherit the Burning Soul trait, which will unlock the ability to Rebirth once they’ve passed on. Rebirthing allows the sim to be revived completely the same, or as a completely new sim, into any household at any age. They can form new family relationships with sims, and will get moodlets and buffs for interacting with sims from a past life.
To be reborn, Sims with the Burning Soul trait will head to the Baleful Bog in Ravenwood and swim in it, giving you the ability to add them to an existing family at any age, with or without their current appearance, the same traits, etc. You can even be reborn into an entirely different family and take on the genetics of said family! Including a very wealthy and powerful one…
Reborn Trait Description: This sim has been reborn! Reborn Sims have special connections with Sims they once knew in their previous life and may have some somber feelings when visiting their old gravestones. Take this extra chance to live life to its fullest!
Burning Soul Trait Description: <Sim Name>’s soul burns bright! As a ghost, <Sim Name> receives extra benefits to their Ghost Mastery stamina, enabling them to perform abilities more frequently. The burning soul trait persists beyond death, accompanying <Sim Name> into their next life after Rebirth. <Sim Name> can retain one personality trait from their previous life with the Recall Past Life self-interaction, along with certain other traits by using the Peer Into Soul interaction available on mirrors. If <Sim Name> is reborn as a younger sim, certain developmental skills will be immediately unlocked. As an added bonsues, young adults and older get the extraordinary ability to defy the boundaries of Life and Death, enabling Transcendent WooHoo as a living Sim. This trait is a one-time blessing, accompanying <Sim Name> into their next life only once.
Grimborn
Grimborn sims are sims born… from the Grim Reaper and another sim. This can be achieved by developing a relationship with the Grim Reaper, either through meeting him in a very dark meet-cute situation (Aka, when someone dies), through the Reaper Career (Where he is your boss), or while he roams around the neighborhood of Mourningvale in Ravenwood. With the update prior to The Sims 4 Life & Death, The Grim Reaper officially has genetics and can officially be a parent.
Any children with the Grimborn trait will have a subtle scythe birthmark on their neck, towards the back and just under their ear, and will have longer lifespans than the average.
The offspring of the Grim Reaper carry an air of mystique. A scythe-shaped birthmark on their neck serves as a haunting reminder of their otherworldly lineage and their inevitable connection to the cycle of life and death.
Grim Descendant
And if your Grimborn child decides to have any children in the future, their children will appear largely normal except for another trait showing their lineage; Grim Descendant.
Offspring from a Grimborn Sims carry on the legacy of the Reaper!
EP: Enchanted by Nature
High Fae Lineage
Having Fairy Parents has brought a magical lineage that gives a Sim additional Fairy Experience from all sources.
While playing with Fairy Sims, any children born to them will carry a High Fae Lineage trait. This includes sims with a single fairy parent, or sims where both parents are fairies. When testing, babies born with the High Fae Lineage could also carry other Occult special traits, like the Weak Bloodline trait from the other parent being a Spellcaster from Sims 4 Realm of Magic.
EP: Adventure Awaits
Peculiar Plumbird Baby
Special inheritable traits don’t just surround occult status or conception, but also who the other parent was specifically. In Gibbi Point from Sims 4 Adventure Awaits, a Peculiar Plumbird is a folktale Sim who roams around the world and can be met and socialized with.
If you can romance Pruella Preener and get her to move in, she’ll lose her Plumbird form and your Sim can Try for Baby with her. She is a trans woman, and her gender settings allow her to impregnate other sims. She also gains the trait Previously a Peculiar Plumbird.
Any babies born from a pregnancy with a sim and Pruella will have a trait marking that their parent used to be a Peculiar Plumbird.
Fowl Offspring of Former Peculiar Plumbird.
EP: Royalty & Legacy
With the Sims 4 Royalty & Legacy Dynasty system, you can use the perk points gained to earn “Affinity Perks” for your dynasty. Any active affinities will be applied to babies born into the dynasty, scaling to higher levels based on the level of their parent. There are four skill categories that have affinity perks, and the vast majority of skills in The Sims 4 fall into one of these categories; Creative, Mental, Physical, and Social.
There are four separate affinity perks for each category, and all can be unlocked and active within a single dynasty. They also account for any babies born into a dynasty, meaning that Science babies will inherit them, and I solely used Science babies for testing.
Mild Affinities
A child born into the dynasty to parents or a parent with no affinity traits whatsoever will have a mild affinity trait.
<Sim Name> was born into a Dynasty with the [Skill Type] Affinity Perk. They will have slightly improved skill gain in [Skill Type] Skills.
Moderate Affinities
If a sim with a mild affinity trait has a child within a dynasty with the same active affinity perk, their child will have a moderate affinity trait.
At least one of <Sim Name>‘s parents had the Mild [Skill Type] Affinity trait. They will have moderately improved skill gain in [Skill Type] Skills and produce better results when using [Skill Type] Skills.
Strong Affinities
If a sim with a moderate affinity trait has a child within a dynasty with the same active affinity perk, their child will have a strong affinity trait. Any further children after this point would have a strong affinity trait.
At least one of <Sim Name>’s parents had the Moderate [Skill Type] Affinity trait. They will have stronger improved skill gain in [Skill Type] Skills and produce better results when using Creative Skills.
GP: Realm of Magic
Like most occult Sims excluding Aliens, most will gain the full potential of their occult status once they’ve aged up into a teen, though you can see their status in Create-A-Sim, and there is hints for each occult in-game at younger life stages. In The Sims 4 Realm of Magic, Spellcasters gain full access to magic upon aging up to a teen, but traits relating to their parentage or bloodline appear as soon as they age up to infancy and you can view all of their traits.
If your initial Spellcaster, generally someone you created in CAS as a Spellcaster, a sim who was turned via gameplay or cheats in-game, or a premade sim that is a spellcaster, decides to have children and continue their bloodline, their children, grandchildren, and any further descendants will have traits to reflect that so long as they are also Spellcasters.
Weak Bloodline
If a Spellcaster Sim is born one generation removed from your initial Spellcaster, they will gain a Weak Bloodline trait.
This Sim’s parents had no Bloodline traits. Sims with the Weak Bloodline trait gain an additional talent point at each Spellcaster rank to spend towards perks. They also gain Spellcaster experience faster and reduce the chance of overloading by 10%.
Strong Bloodline
If a Spellcaster Sim is born two generations removed, meaning they are the grandchild of the initial Spellcaster and their parent carried the Weak Bloodline trait, they will gain a Strong Bloodline trait.
At least one of this Sim’shad a Weak Bloodline trait. Sims with the Strong Bloodline trait gain an additional talent point at each Spellcaster rank to spend towards perks. They also gain Spellcaster experience faster and reduce the chance of overloading by 20%.
Ancient Bloodline
If a Spellcaster Sim is born three generations removed from your initial Spellcaster, meaning they are the great-grandchild of the initial Spellcaster and their parent carried the Strong Bloodline trait, they will gain an Ancient Bloodline trait.
The partner sim on the furthest left half is Care Ren, a premade fairy NPC. The partner sim on the right, the redhead man, is a randomly generated human sim met on Cupid’s Corner.
I also tested this with both of the twins who carried the Strong Bloodline trait having children, with one having a child through WooHoo, and the other through having a science baby. The twin who conceived naturally had a human partner, and the sim who had a science baby had a fairy partner. Both children born to the sisters had the Ancient Bloodline trait.
At least one of this Sim’s parents had a Strong or Ancient Bloodline trait. Sims with the Ancient Bloodline trait gain an additional talent point at each Spellcaster rank to spend towards perks. They also gain Spellcaster experience faster and reduce the chance of overloading by 50%.
GP: Werewolves
Unlike other occults, Sims 4 Werewolves were built for their lineage to be somewhat spotty. Not every child born to them will innately be another Werewolf, even if both parents are. Generally, like most Sims 4 genetics, the child can either be one status or the other. For example, if your human sim has a baby with a vampire sim, they can have either a vampire baby or a human baby. This also is typically how it goes for most occults, excluding Sims 4 Get to Works Aliens which can also have full, half-alien, and part-alien hybrids.
Dormant Wolf
A sim with the Dormant Wolf trait is a Sim that acts like a typical human, but can “awaken their inner wolf” through specific gameplay features. As previously stated, they can either have one or both parents who are werewolves, and there is always a chance for a child to inherit the Dormant Wolf trait if they Werewolf blood from a parent directly.
Out of a set of triplets born to a werewolf and a human Sim, two got the Dormant Wolf trait and one was werewolf without a special trait.
The wolf sleeps soundly within <Sim Name>. What would it take to awaken?
If you want to awaken a Dormant Wolf’s full werewolf form, visit Lake Lunvik in Moonwood Mill when the Sim is a teen or older, and have them swim in the lake during a full moon. The lake will be sparkling when it is officially nightfall and the full moon is out. When they come back to shore, they will transform into a full werewolf.
Greater Wolf Blood
On the opposing side of Sims 4 Werewolf genetics, Sims with the Greater Wolf Blood trait have at least one or both parents who are werewolves, but they do not to inherently be a werewolf to actually get this trait, as it is random. If they have this trait and later choose to become a werewolf, it acts similarly to the Magical Bloodline traits for Sims 4 Spellcasters, helping them progress through Werewolf ranks and gain experience quicker.
Greater Wolf Blood is a rarer trait, no matter if both or only one parent is actually a werewolf. Out of 10 babies, I only ran into one with the Greater Wolf Blood trait, while the Dormant Wolf trait appeared four times. The only time I got Greater Wolf Blood was a single baby from a set of triplets, born from parents created in CAS who were both werewolves. I will note that, per the trait description, the trait comes from “Having Werewolf Parents, and a Bit of Luck”, indicating it is almost entirely up to chance.
The moon has blessed <Sim Name>with a Greater Wolf Blood, enhancing their Werewolf growth. Talk about high expectations!
Here we take a moment to think about the ridiculous amount of children and wonky family trees that now exist in this save. A moment of silence, please.

In Tomodachi Life Living the Dream, Miis are great at walking around and falling over and chatting about island lingo, but they’re not so great at the important stuff, like taking care of themselves. As their Overlord (or whatever you opted to have them call you), you’re responsible for managing Mii needs, from feeding them to fulfilling their aesthetic preferences to helping them out when they’re in a pickle. And if you take care of them successfully, there are rewards in store. Here’s how to identify what your Miis need and how to fulfill those Mii needs.
Guide to Mii Needs in Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream
How To Tell When A Mii Needs Something
In Tomodachi Life Living the Dream, Mii needs are indicated in a few ways. The most common one is a yellow, orange, or pink frustration bubble that pops up above a Mii’s house or head. Yellow is a material or aesthetic need, orange is a friendship-related need, and pink is a romance-related need. Flashing shapes above a Mii can also indicate a Mii needs something.
You can also see when a Mii needs something by looking at the Mii icon in the bottom right. If there is a thought bubble with a number in it, one or more Miis need something (though it can also indicate a dream you can view).
What Happens When You Satisfy Mii Needs
Satisfying Mii needs can fill Miis’ happiness bars in Living the Dream, but it’s not guaranteed. For example, if you give them something they don’t like — food, clothing, or interiors — the request will still be fulfilled but they won’t gain much or any happiness. You do not have to satisfy their needs if you don’t want to, but it can benefit you to do so. Depending on what the need is and how successful you are at filling it, you may gain Warm Fuzzies and money.
Miis Want To Be Fed
Tomodachi Life Miis do not run well on empty stomachs, but don’t worry — they’ll let you know when they desire something tasty. A frustration bubble will show up and they’ll ask for dinner or tell you they’re hungry. All you need to do is give them a dish you already have or buy something from Fresh Kingdom food mart. Even if you don’t completely fill their stomach up (a lot of the snack-y foods don’t), the Mii need will be completed. Now, if you give them something they don’t like, their happiness can decrease. Though, because this is Tomodachi Life, it’s a guessing game on what Miis do and do not like. Good luck!
Miis Want To Be Stylish
A frustration bubble can also indicate that Miis want some new clothes. This bubble appears to be more common when they’re in their default clothes, but it can also come up when they’re wearing an outfit you bought for them. This is sometimes the case when they don’t like what you bought them. You can buy them a single piece of clothing, or a whole outfit, from Where and Wear to satisfy this Mii need. Miis may also ask if they can switch up their existing hairstyle, which you can oblige or reject. Rejecting does not have negative consequences.
Miis Want Interior and Exterior Decor
The default houses are pretty boring, so what a Mii needs might be a new house interior. Give them an interior (a room set or a wallpaper or flooring) you already have or purchase one that you feel fits their style at T&C Reno home supply. Miis may also want to add outside decor, like streets, lights, or benches. The only thing you need to do for outside decor requests is fork over some cash and the game will decorate for you. If you don’t like what your Miis are proposing, you can reject them too.
Miis Need Help After An Accident
Living the Dream Miis will get themselves into sticky situations, like falling over or freezing up or stuck with endless hiccups. They will need you to fix this, which you can either do yourself or get another Mii to come and help. It’s generally better to have another Mii assist for the sake of building relationships.
Miis Need Their Heads Cleared
Sometimes a Mii just needs you to clear their head. This starts a quick-time mini-game where you have to rapidly press on the objects in their head and clear them all in five seconds. If you’re successful, you’ll get the object — which can be anything from a Hercules Beetle to French Onion Soup — that was stuck in their head as a prize. If you’re not, you’ll still get a little happiness and a few Warm Fuzzies.
Relationship-Related Mii Needs
Frustration bubbles can also indicate a variety of relationship-related needs, including wanting to be friends with another Mii, wanting to move in with another Mii, wanting to talk to another Mii, or even looking for your advice on matters of the heart.
Considering you can add up to 70 Miis in Tomodachi Life Living the Dream, there are going to be a lot of Mii needs to be fulfilled. But the more needs you complete, the more your Miis and your island will level up, unlocking more objects, quirks, and decor to maximize the potential for chaos. After all, Living the Dream is as much about customizing your island as it is experiencing the unhinged cutscenes and Mii behaviors.
The latest update to the UI Cheats Extension mod by weerbesu keeps one of The Sims 4’s most popular quality-of-life tools fully up to date, while introducing a subtle but meaningful feature for players who enjoy storytelling and detailed customization. If you’re unfamiliar with how the mod works, you can check out our full guide to the UI Cheats Extension, which breaks down its full functionality and features.
What’s New in v1.54
Version 1.54 updates the mod for the latest game patch and adds support for Formative Moments within the add trait cheat. This allows players to assign these moments directly through the user interface instead of relying on gameplay triggers or console commands, making the process much faster and more accessible.
Why This Matters
UI Cheats Extension has always been about speed and convenience, allowing players to adjust gameplay elements with a simple click instead of typing commands. With Formative Moments now included, story-driven players can shape a Sim’s past instantly, legacy players can fix missing or bugged milestones, and save file creators can fine-tune Sims before sharing. It’s a small addition on paper, but it fits perfectly with how the mod is designed to streamline gameplay.
Formative Moments in Trait Menu
Formative Moments can now be accessed directly through the Add Trait menu using UI Cheats Extension.
Selecting a Formative Moment

After Applying the Trait

Trying to get your Miis to fall in love in Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream leads to all sorts of antics, unrequited feelings, and, above all, romance.
We will walk you through navigating romance, marriage, and relationships in this handy guide. For all of our other guides and walkthroughs, visit our dedicated Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream page.
Romance In Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream
Crushes
Crushes can develop between Miis on your island, and there are a few ways you can help encourage feelings to blossom.
The best way to encourage romance is to keep having two Miis interact. Do this by dragging and dropping them next to each other to force them to interact, and by bringing Miis over to help anyone who is frozen or in a hiccup loop. If you want Miis to fall for each other, the more interactions the better.
Compatibility
Your residents won’t be able to form crushes on each other if there is no chance of feelings being returned. For example, if you have two female Miis, but one is only attracted to men and the other to women, there is no chance of crushes developing between them. We have to set them up for success somewhat!
How To Know If Feelings are Developing
There are two ways Miis might reveal their feelings to you: a romantic cutscene or a custom thought bubble.
Romantic Cutscenes
When these cutscenes happen, it is absolutely adorable!
You’ll notice one of your Miis staring at another, and when you click to interact with them, the cutscene will play out.
Once it plays out, you have the option to choose whether or not to encourage this crush to blossom or if your Mii is just imagining their feelings. If you choose to let romance blossom, you’ll see the relationship between the two residents change.
Thought Bubbles
If your Miis want to talk to you about a blossoming romance, they will get a pink thought bubble above their head.
From there, you will be able to talk to them about who they are developing a crush on and either encourage it or dismiss it.
If your Mii already has a crush on someone and then starts developing romantic feelings for someone new, they’ll ask you who they really like, which gives you a little bit of control over the romances on your island.
Fading Feelings
Miis are fickle with their romantic connections and will fall out of love as quickly as they fell for someone. All it can take is a bad joke, and all of a sudden, those feelings of romance have vanished.
You can encourage them to rekindle romantic feelings by pushing them together, encouraging conversations around the island, and bringing them over to help a Mii who has frozen or gotten stuck in a hiccup loop. Since they have already developed feelings for them once, it will take less time to rekindle those feelings.
Confessing Attraction
Eventually, the time will come when your residents will want to express their feelings!
They will have the ‘wants to confess’ relationship label for a while before the event gets triggered, so once you see both Miis have the ‘wants to confess’ label, keep encouraging them to spend time together to hurry things along. After a while, you’ll notice the pink thought bubble above one of their heads, and chances are, this is them getting ready to tell you they want to declare their feelings.
You will be able to control how they do this in a series of options menus, where you will choose the location and vibe for this expression of love.
After that, you’ll be treated to a really cute cutscene where you just have to sit back and hope the feelings are reciprocated!
Marriage
Once two of your Miis have been sweethearts for a couple of days and spent plenty of time together, they will eventually have the option to get married.
You’ll see one of the couple’s members have a pink thought bubble above their head and then tell you they want to ask their sweetheart to marry them. You can then discourage it if you want to.
As long as the other resident says yes, you’ll immediately get taken to a cute marriage cutscene where all your Miis have gathered to celebrate this blossoming romance, and see them whisked away on a honeymoon.
Unrequited Love, Getting Rejected, & Trying Again
Not all romantic feelings on your island are going to be returned.
Sometimes Miis can get the wrong idea and think that someone has feelings for them when they don’t, and if they act on it, they will almost certainly be rejected.
Miiis that get rejected will have their happiness metre replaced with a sadness metre and won’t participate in island activities until they’re cheered up.
You can also encourage them to try again if you think they might react differently (or if you just want to see your Mii get rejected again).
Turns out cake or other gifts are a good way to seal the deal!
Miis will also be rejected if the person they are confessing their attraction to is already in love with or sweethearts with another resident on the island. So it doesn’t appear that Miis can have wandering eyes once they’re in relationships or cheating spouses.
Coping With Rejection
No one likes being rejected, and it’s no different for your Miis.
There are things you can do to help them cope with sadness, like feed them their favourite foods or give them gifts, but often they will just want to be left alone.
You can encourage your other island residents to come over and try to cheer them up by dragging and dropping them into their vicinity. It’s more likely to work if they are already close.
You might witness the most awkward small talk you’ve ever seen, or some genuinely sweet moments.
Something To Remember
Before you start playing island matchmaker, it’s important to remember that whilst the randomness of the game is one of its biggest selling points, it also means you can’t control who falls for who, how long the romantic feelings last, or really any kind of micromanagement of relationships. All you can do is gently nudge two Miis together by encouraging them to interact.
We’d love to hear what your island residents have been getting up to! Have you had any success with romantic relationships between your Miis? Let us know below and on social media.
