SimGurus are sharing new info about the latest Stuff Pack – The Sims 4 Romantic Garden!
@KitOnlyHuman I don’t wanna give away all the secrets! Let’s just say there are plenty of ways to torture your Sims with it. It’s my new fav
— Azure Bowie-Hankins (@SimGuruAzure) February 2, 2016
@tazreentasnim @KitOnlyHuman There are so many things to wish for and lots of different outcomes. I’m partial to the bad ones. ^_^
— Azure Bowie-Hankins (@SimGuruAzure) February 2, 2016
.@thesimplynando Yes indeed! The Baroque radio station is coming with Romantic Garden Stuff. Perfect for a relaxing stroll through the park.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
.@catloverplayer In addition to wishing for romance, there’s a playfully romantic splash Sims do while cuddling on the edge of the fountain.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
.@Cinderellimouse I don’t want to spoil all the possibilities… suffice to say, you can wish for a child, and each wish has many outcomes!
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
@CuriousCheeze From life to death, the wishing well runs the gamut. 54 different outcomes! There’ll be a launch blog sharing some wild ones.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
@SimsVIP @TheSimCommunity No harvestables/collectables/recipes. Although for the 1st time with a Stuff Pack, a new park venue in the bin!
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
.@KitOnlyHuman All adults can get in and splash around if they desire. There’s even a club rule around it for the whimsical Sims out there!
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
.@thesimplynando Not in this one. We focused on flowers and shrubbery, in addition to Victorian style objects that you’d expect in a park.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
.@ke_Wired Yup yup – playing in park fountains is a club rule you can set as a preferred or banned activity for your Sims.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
@thesimplynando Hah no, not this time.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
@daniel_willyan Ghosts have a special wish to return to life, with multiple outcomes. Aliens can use the well, but don’t have a unique wish.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
@andrew_161 Because the well can be an extremely powerful object, Sims are limited to three wishes per day, spread over the full 24 hours.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
.@Deligracy Ghost Sims can choose to wish for life for as little as §1. How & if that wish gets granted though is another thing entirely…
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
@eyitzanthony There's a wishing well, a park fountain that you can sit on and play inside, a Baroque radio station, and a new park venue.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
.@AhmedKallala Yes, children can use the wishing well! They even have their own unique wish to get better grades.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
@Squikkette Besides playing together inside the fountain, kids can also use the wishing well for a variety of wishes.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
@LuckyLunayre It isn't a wedding arch. The wedding arches are a specific size in-game – we wanted a wider one to go across walking paths.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
@LuckyLunayre There isn't a new type of death, but Sims can be pushed right to the edge of death (and over!) Beware the reaper.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
@catloverplayer It's not the one in the trailer. I don't think we have any screenshots showing it – it's an absolutely gorgeous lot though.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
.@Falsettoo_ There's a range of possibilities… check out the well spitting simoleons out of its mouth in the trailer 😉
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
.@TheMarshyBear You will be able to toss a coin into various fountains for good luck, but that isn't part of a club rule 😉
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
.@PetarSimmer 9 wishes, 54 outcomes. Wish for Romance, Happiness, Wealth, Life, Youthful Vigor, Grades, a Promotion, a Child, and a Skill.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 2, 2016
.@Squikkette Teens can wish for both grades and a promotion, as they have the unique ability to attend school and hold a part time job.
— Graham Nardone (@SimGuruGraham) February 3, 2016
@leo3487 The Lost Gardens of Healing is a 40×30, with the front of the lot being on the shorter side.

The Sims 4 Romantic Garden Stuff Pack announcement!
Spring is around the corner, love is in the air, and what better way to set the mood than with the The Sims 4 Romantic Garden Stuff Pack?!
Create a beautiful garden that allows your Sims to surround themselves with beautiful flowers, gorgeous statues, and listen to some comforting classical music. Enjoy the new park fountain, which features new animations, which will bring new life into your home or park venue.
Is your Sim looking for romance? Wanting more wealth? Wanting to come back from the dead? Then enjoy the new Wishing Well that can make all their dreams come true, but as they say: Be careful what you wish for.
Birds chirping, plants budding… it’s the season of love, and your Sims can experience it for themselves with The Sims 4 Romantic Garden Stuff Pack*! The stuff pack releases on February 9 and includes new objects and clothing to create the Victorian garden of your dreams.
The Sims 4 Romantic Garden Stuff Pack has a mixture of flowery flora and marble furnishings that enable you to build new styles of parks, or to revitalize your home’s yard. Do you prefer a manicured lawn with trimmed rose bushes and flowers entwined around a wooden trellis? Perhaps instead you want to create your own Victorian inspired botanical gardens, replete with spitting lion fountains and stately Doric columns? All of these items and more empower you to create lush landscapes for romantic moments like dates, proposals, and weddings – or simply to enjoy a lovely afternoon outdoors.
Your Sims can make use of a new Fountain of Gluteus Maximus which serves as far more than a pretty backdrop. Sims can sit along the fountain’s edge and cuddle, even flicking water on each other in a lighthearted show of affection. When feeling especially whimsical they can climb inside to play around, or take it a step further and engage in a spirited bout of splashing with a friend. If feeling particularly mischievous, Sims can go as far as adding soap to the fountain and enjoy watching the water churn into a froth of bubbles.
What’s more, the stuff pack also includes the Whispering Wishing Well, and woe to the Sim who underestimates the power it wields. A single Simoleon is all it takes to cast a wish, be it for happiness, wealth, a child, youth, love, and more… but the Wishing Well is known to be quite temperamental, and one should carefully gauge not only what they wish for, but when they wish for it. Over fifty different outcomes ensure that your Sim’s life may be altered forever… though it may end in rejoicing, or in personal tragedy.
You’ll discover all of these objects when visiting The Lost Gardens of Healing, a brand new Park Venue included in the stuff pack that creates a picturesque backdrop to any romantic story. Your Sims will want to look their best when visiting, and modern floral fashion and hairstyles will help you give them a proper spring makeover. As they stroll the park’s grounds they’ll be serenaded by the new Baroque radio station, which includes a lovely melody of music inspired by the 1600s to set the mood.
The Sims 4 Romantic Garden Stuff Pack releases on February 9th – come take a stroll through its gardens and see if it’s everything you wished for!

The Sims 4 Mod: No alien, ghost, bear, or knight night at the bar
Hey guys!
The shine has worn off the theme nights for me and I really don’t like that we were not given the option to turn them off. I also hate that if we visit the bar during any of these nights, the game spawns tons of new Sims every single time for the bar.
So. I made myself a mod to release the bar from these silly theme nights (Monday through Thursday) and left Friday, Saturday, Sunday as they were.
Click Here to download this Mod!
Mod Description: Removes the alien, ghost, bear, knight bar theme nights and replaces them with happy hours. I changed the spawning Sims into party goers who should be in their party wear (low priority so they may not change). Your Sims should also not get any invites to those theme nights since I altered those files as well and the nights no longer exist.
Conflicts: I’ve tested this mod both without any mods/CC installed and with all my mods/CC installed and there wasn’t any problems or LastException file generated. So, no conflicts. It may conflict with any mods that changes bars or the theme nights.
Instructions: Unzip and pop the package into your mods folder. Enjoy having your Sims get their weekday happy hours back!
Special thanks to @directionermimux for helping me test this mod.

All About The Sims 2 Aspiration Desperation and Failure
Learn the difference between Aspiration Desperation and Aspiration Failure.
With Sims 4 we saw the return of aspirations, which, back in Sims 2, were one of the most important aspects in determining how a sim would live. Unlike in Sims 2, however, Sims 4 aspirations don’t have any negative effects on a sim. In The Sims 2, our sims didn’t have traits, so all of their wants and fears were decided based on their aspiration.
The most interesting part of aspirations were the fears, something that has yet to return to any Sims game since. They’ve continued with the wants (renamed wishes in Sims 3 and whims in Sims 4) but they’ve forgone the inclusion of anything negative. Sure, our sims can get embarrassed now and want to hide in a closet, but they’re over it quickly and it doesn’t affect them long-term. In Sims 2, if a sim’s fear came true, such as receiving a failing grade in college, then their aspiration meter would drop and they’d feel it for quite some time. If it dropped too low, then they experienced something called aspiration desperation, which looked like this:
Table of Contents
Different Types of Aspiration Desperation:
Grow Up
This aspiration was for children only until they aged up to a teenager and choose an adult aspiration. Their aspiration failure is also the mildest of the bunch with them simply throwing temper tantrums. Once the cameras were off, this sim immediately ran outside and stomped some flowerbeds.
Family
These sims aspired not only to have a large family full of children and grandchildren, but they wanted to see the later generations excel on top of it. If they felt they weren’t producing a proper legacy, they brushed up on their child-rearing abilities like this:
Fortune
There was only ever one thing on these sims minds, money. Lots and lots of it. It didn’t matter how they were making it, just as long as they were. They spent their whole lives keeping up with the Landgraab’s. If their wallet was feeling a little light, they turned to whatever means necessary for some cash.
Knowledge
They had to consistently prove they were the smartest in the room. If they weren’t you can bet they ran home and shoved their nose in a new book until they were. Even in the dullest of times, they’re known for reaching out to even the most eccentric of teachers.
Popularity
Some people believe it’s better to have a few really strong friendships than it is a bunch of decent friends. Not these sims. They wanted as many sims as possible. Always looking for someone new to chat up. Even if there wasn’t anyone around to talk to, they knew they could always rely on one friend in particular.
Romance
No, not hopeless romantics. These sims aren’t looking to settle down any time soon. They actually fear it. Don’t even think about talking to these sims about marriage or children. If one of these sims does end up settling down, they tend to get a little stir crazy being with the same person.
Grilled Cheese
*Sims 2 Nightlife
Grilled cheese. Grilled cheese. Grilled cheese. That’s all they want. All the time. Make grilled cheese. Eat grilled cheese. PAINT a grilled cheese. As if that doesn’t sound like madness in itself, here’s what one looks like after going two seconds without thinking of a grilled cheese. Just let them taste the gooey, cheesy goodness already!
Pleasure
Free-spirited and ready to party it up. If they aren’t having fun, they’re not living properly. Jobs are for the squares, just take them out dancing and they’ll be happy. They can totally raise their family from DJing tips. And if not, who cares, they’re having fun. What’s that? The kids are hungry? You expect them to get a “real” job. Sure, as long as you’re ready for this when they get bored.
The Sims 2 Aspiration Failure
If their aspiration wasn’t kept in check, and it continued to drop, then they went so far as to experience something called aspiration failure. He seems pretty happy down there to me…
At this point a sim has hit rock bottom. And as they say, there’s no where to go but up. Thankfully for them, the shrink will make a very personal house call to put them on the path to happiness with the power of hypnotherapy. Let’s hear it for the joys of alternative medicine.
The fears and subsequent aspiration failure were my favorite parts of Sims 2, and I’ve always wondered why they’ve never added anything like it in future Sims games. What do you think their reasoning is for this? Do you feel Sims 4 needs a proper way to feel like a sim is blundering through life? Or do you prefer how it is where every sim seems truly successful from birth to death?
The Sims 4: Risky Woohoo Mod
Hey guys!
Awhile ago, I made myself a 2% risky woohoo mod. I was recently asked if I would release it. I have decided to do that but also added additional percentages. In the zip file you will find 2, 5, 10, 15, and 20 percent woohoo packages. Only use one at a time in your mods folder. This mod will conflict with any mod that alters woohoo. Also, this is a roll of the dice kind of mod. That means that even with the 20 percent that it may take awhile for your Sims to get pregnant.
Enjoy!
CLICK HERE to download the mod!
Mod Description: Brings an element of risk to all woohoo. Locations included are: bed, rocket ship, observatory, hot tub, sauna, tent, bush, and closet.
Conflicts: Will conflict with any mod that alters woohoo.
Thank you Jovjovan, directionermimux, and xPastella for helping me test it.
The Sims 4 How to Build: Patio with Greenhouse
Patio with Greenhouse
Gardens are fun! Exterior in general is fun! -But does it annoy you that when you add rooms etc to a patio it disappears from The Gallery picture?
The simple reason is; As soon as you make a room, clearly, it counts as another room and gets separated from the patio. Lame!
And even if you don’t close the room fully in, the picture will look somewhat dreadful because it will take some of the walls down, and that’s just not pretty!
This guide’s main focus is to show you that you can build a patio with a greenhouse/winter garden and upload it without losing any features. Of course you can build a greenhouse out of walls (like you’d normally do), but if you want to upload a patio with a greenhouse to The Gallery, you’ll have to do it this way!
Let’s begin!
Make a foundation the size you want both the patio and the greenhouse to be:
Surround an area in walls, but leave some of it open:
Place windows on each wall:
Go to SURFACES>DISPLAYS and pick a shelf without any corner-pieces (like The Immaculate which I used), then resize it using SHIFT + ] (The keys may vary dependent on where you’re from)
Now delete all the walls:
Add fence and stairs (the stairs won’t show up on The Gallery image):
Fill the greenhouse with flowerpots and decoration, play around with sizes for a fun result:
Pick an island counter you like, and select rounded outer corner and place down four of them so they make a circle:
Go to SURFACES>MISC and pick an umbrella table, and simply place it in the middle of the island:
A fun suggestion is to make a fence in one of the corners, use the grass tiles and make a flowerbed with “natural” flowers and bushes in it on the patio:
Put a barbecue, some comfy chairs, maybe a bar on the patio, and some furniture in the greenhouse and voila, you have a lovely little patio with a greenhouse!
Pssst!
This method also works great for walk-in closets!
