In this section I will be showing you how to create a clothing recolor using my own method. This is the way I create all of my recolors for all of my work. I use this method instead of the Hue/Saturation method because it eliminates any pixelation in the image.So, let’s get started.

Let’s Play The Sims 4 | Life Stories: Part 1
By Dai Sims20
For our Let’s Plays this week, we begin with one inspired by The Sims 2 Life Stories. Dai Sims has created three unique families to follow and they’re all so different that I think this is going to be such a fun series to watch and be a a part of.

By LuckyGurlB
If you like apocalyptic things, you’ll love this Let’s Play. It’s a little older but there are three seasons, the last has just finished so there’s plenty of videos to enjoy! This is not your typical Zombie Apocalypse Challenge, despite being themed very similarly – there are no rules. It begins after the first wave of the outbreak has passed, and a group of survivors have been abandoned by their government and military.

SpringSims: One Year On Youtube (An Interview)
SpringSims‘ One Year Youtube Anniversary!
Hello everyone! Today I am here with SpringSims as he celebrates his first year sharing sims related content on Youtube! I managed to spare a few moments of his time to ask him some questions about his experience.
First things first, what are some of your highlights from your first year on Youtube?
I could say so many things about what happened in the first year of being on YouTube, but I guess I would list just a few for now. Some highlights that were and still are very eventful would have to be my first room build that I ever did on my channel. When I reached that 100 subscriber mark on YouTube I was really excited that 100 people were watching my videos.
Awesome! So what has being a simmer on Youtube taught you over the past year?
Being a simmer in the YouTube community has taught me that it is always a good thing to stay true to yourself & to always have patience. A few things I have seen in the past year have taught me that originality is always the key to being an ‘awesim’ simmer in the community.
I have to agree originality is key! Now lets talk achievements, what are some of your biggest?
When I first joined You Tube, I could say that my biggest achievements would have to be when I first reached 1K subscribers. Which was pretty amazing might I say. The second one would have to be when I reached 10k just a few days ago, I thought I would never reach that number for a long time. I guess with hard work and dedication it paid off.
Congratulations! Do you have any advice for fellow simmers wanting to achieve their own goals on Youtube?
I would have to say that staying positive in your videos and originality is always the key to being a great simmer on YouTube. Well at least it worked for me, so it might work for you as well. With some recommendations for recording software I would have to say OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) is the best for me and Audacity for audio recording. People often say that you need a high end computer to start simming on Youtube. I would say that is not the case, I film all my videos on a regular laptop. But pretty much overall Originality, Patience and being positive is the key.
Great advice, I definitely agree about OBS It’s free and it works! Now more on the actual game itself, what have been some of your favorite Sims 4 releases over the past year and why?
At the top of my list for my favorite sims 4 game it would have to be either Get To Work or Spa day. Get to Work is a good expansion pack because I like how we could go to work with our sims on a daily basis. My favorite career would have to be the Doctor career just because I could actually treat people like a real doctor it was a lot of fun in my opinion. With Spa Day, now that I’m getting into building in the Sims 4 I like the modern look of the colors schemes & the objects that we got. Also the yoga and Wellness skill that came with the game.
Some of Stephen’s favorite Sims 4 moments
Sul Sul everyone, if you don’t know who I am yet. I’m Stephen aka SpringSims on YouTube. I’m currently 19 years old and a college studying graphic design. I do lots of variety of Sims games on my channel such as Sims 3, Sims 4 and more to come later.
Before we say goodbye, Stephen will be holding a celebratory giveaway to give something back to all his supporters! If you would like a chance of winning head on over to his channel for more information.

The Sims 4: Spooky Stuff Decorating Tips
With the great choices that the Spooky Stuff pack has given us there is no reason to not go re-decorate your Sims homes for Halloween. In this article we will explore the options to decorating a custom built house in The Sims 4. We’ll start with a custom built home, you can create a spooky creeped out home for your Witchy Sims to live in, with the great variety of exterior and interior wall coverings. The best way to find all the items is to use the built in game filters by going to the right hand lower part of the screen you will see a place that says filter with an arrow next to it. Clicking the arrow will open a menu where you can pick and choose what will be shown below in the build menu. Just remember sometimes less is more but often going all out is more fun. Here I built a custom home and used the exterior wood paneling that came in the Spooky Stuff pack for the outside walls. I also chose windows that had some darker color trim on them and a large red door.
Here I built a custom home and used the exterior wood paneling that came in the Spooky Stuff pack for the outside walls. I also chose windows that had some darker color trim on them and a large red door. Then I set to work of decorating the outside yard. You can have fun playing with the size cheat and be sure to enable MOO (Moveobjects on) by opening up the ingame console and typing bb.moveobjects then press enter. This makes it possible to set things wherever you want, as I have with the ghosts and pumpkins by placing them on the roof trim. For the front porch area I placed pumpkins along the front bottom and Skeleton lanterns across the front railing. I was able to place the laterns by holding the Alt +tapping the #9 key and carefully moving them up to the level then “phasing” them into place by holding Alt and gently sliding the mouse till they were where I wanted. You can use this method to add lights that would normally be on the ground to raise them onto a table too. As I did in the photo with the ghost lamps using them as nightstand lights.
By using the resizing cheat you can make any of the decor items or centerpieces instant lawn ornaments! in the picture you can see the original size next to the enlarged items that I used to decorate the yard. To resize you hold Alt and then tap the ]/} key till it is the size you want to revert just hold Alt and tap the {/[ key. This is a great little trick…or a treat!
When creating rooms and decorating with the build mode items don’t forget you can use the new chevrom carpeting to create the look of an area rug. Also now that we can resize rugs properly play with several sizes to fit your rooms. In this dining room I have utilized the chevron carpet to make the center rug and then placed a table from the pack with chairs from the base game. I was a little disappointed they didn’t include a larger table for my Sims to dine at. I like to create a very creepy cob webbing around the walls don’t forget to add a few spiders.
A trio of shapeshifting Portraits are great to hang above a candy dish that will give even the most seasoned Sim a jump scare. The pack also features several new seating options for your Sims. There is a couch with a ghostly face on it in several colors as well as plain with no face. A matching chair can also be found with or without the ghostly face. I hope you’ve enjoyed exploring the decorative ideas shown here…let me know below in the comments how you have decorated with the Sims 4 Spooky Stuff Pack. Until then Happy Simming!!
11 Ways You Can Customize Your Clubs in The Sims 4 Get Together
Via The Sims Blog
Your Club, Your Rules
When The Sims 4 Get Together Expansion Pack* comes out on December 8 in North America, you’ll be experiencing something totally new: Clubs! With Clubs, you’ll be able to lead groups of Sims in a Gathering, where they’ll follow Club rules, do Club activities, and react to situations in the ways their Club suggests. Sims in a Gathering will even break their own rules in favor of keeping in line with the Club’s rules.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWPZgy2peFA
You’ll be able to join a pre-made Club, like the food-obsessed Upper Crusts or the stylish Paragons, but you can also create your own! Here are all of the ways you can customize your own Clubs.
Choose your Club’s name. Obviously, before you start doing anything else, you’re going to want to decide what to name your Club. You could go with something fairly generic (The [THING] Club!), or try to think of something cooler – like an inside joke!
Pick Your Club Logo. When Sims are in a Gathering, little icons float above their heads showing that they’re hanging out with their Club. There are dozens to choose from, so you’ll be able to find the perfect insignia for your Club to use.
Set Club Requirements. Do you want your Club to be open to anyone and everyone? Or do you want it to be a bit more… exclusive? You can decide what sorts of people are allowed in by choosing Age Groups, Skill Levels, and even Traits that your Club members are required to have.
Choose Club Activities. Here’s where things start getting really exciting. You’re able to choose from a list of over 100 Activities that you can encourage Club members to do when they’re in a Club Gathering – things like Play Instrument, Cook, Swim, Tell Jokes, View Art, and (a lot) more. Your Club can have five Encouraged Activities, which creates a ton of possibilities!
Set Club’s Banned Activities. On the other side of the coin, you can also choose up to five things that your Club members aren’t supposed to do. When you mix these with the Club Activities, you get some absolutely crazy options. Want your members to Hug, Kiss, be Romantic, but never to WooHoo when in a Club Gathering? You can do that!
Make Your Activities More Specific. Besides being able to choose Club Activities and Banned Activities, you can take it a level deeper and say who your Members are supposed to do these things with. Your Club members might love swimming, but maybe they won’t swim with members of another specific Club. Or maybe they flat-out can’t talk to specific members of other Clubs. Break the rules, and your Sim might get kicked out of the Club!
Create a Club Outfit. Want your Club members to all wear a matching jacket and hat (with a matching Club logo) when they enter a Club Gathering? Want them to wear matching… hot dog costumes? You’re able to choose their outfits, personalizing your Club’s style as much as you want.
Pick a Hangout. A Club needs a place to hang out, right? When you’re making your Club, you can make their Hangout a general place, like any Bar or any Gym, or a specific place in the world. Different Club types call for different Hangout types – a Foodie Club might want to check out any café they can find, whereas a Workout Club might only want to frequent a specific gym.
Customize a Hangout Location. If you want to personalize your Hangouts even more, you can choose to have your Club gather at a specific lot, and then use door locks to only allow access to your Club to make an exclusive place that only they can enter. This means that an Art Club can have a secret backroom where only thebest artwork is held, or the Gaming Club could have a special room with extra computers to play on. There’s also special Club décor you can unlock to help you customize your Hangout even further.
Unlock a Club Vibe. The more your Sims preform Club activities, the more Club points you’ll earn. These can be used to unlock a slew of Perks, like secret handshakes and Club vibes. Club vibes are emotions that your members will feel once they’re in a Gathering, so you can make your Workout Club automatically Energized, or your Romance Club Flirty during Club Gatherings.
Get Club Skill Boosts. There are other Perks besides Club Vibes, though – you can also get Skill bonuses, meaning that your Sims will gain skill at an increased rate while in a Club Gathering. Mix that together with a Vibe, and you can end up with some really interesting results. An Art Club that gains Artistic skill faster and is always Inspired can be pretty awesome at cranking out incredible paintings.
We built the Club system to be as robust as possible, and we can’t wait to see the amazing things you’re going to create with them when The Sims 4 Get Together Expansion Pack launches in December!

Hey Trick and Treaters!
Did your team win? Did your Sims trick, treat… or a little bit of both?
I know what I wanted to win!
I didn’t win…
It’s alright though… I’ll… *sniff*… I’ll carry on. Maybe someday…
But wait, have you seen the Gummie Fish in your game yet? Or the Bonefish? No? Why are you reading this?! Go play now!
Oh… but you only got one? I’ve heard rumors that Gummies and Bone fishies are natural enemies, and can often be found in the same fishing spots…
Well, I hope you had fun with the challenge. And now – The rewards!
- A new door, Edgar the Generous, offers lionhearted thanks to #TeamTreat, and can be found in the Buy catalog, eager to greet your friends and neighbors.
- The Gumber Fesh Bow is now available in the Buy catalog, with a lifetime supply of Gummie Fish to fill your bowls.
- The Ornate Beauty storage chest can be found in your Buy catalog. Open it up and let it store all of your collections for you.
- We also are going to say goodbye to the Trick and Treat interactions. Thank you for spending time with us… and maybe we’ll see you again.
But wait – is there more?
We’ve heard tell that repairing is tedious, tiresome… now, you can call the Repair Service any time, day or night, to fix up your broken this and that’s… for a small fee of course.
- Found in the phone menu, the repair service will send over a speedy repair technician to quickly repair your brokenings.
- There are also new socials that are available on the repair person to gain Handiness skill for your handiless Sims.
We have also addressed a handful of issues (if you could figuratively hold a single issue upon a finger, then there is literally a handful of addressed issues in this release).
- We fixed an issue that could prevent the maid from arriving during their normally scheduled work hours, if they attempted to arrive for work on a weekend.
- Maids should now properly work their Mon-Fri shifts, and will no longer attempt to work overtime on the weekends.
- As we were introducing the repair service to the game, we noticed long periods of time where the repairperson would stand doing nothing – this also occurred for other repair services (such as the maid). We have adjusted the ‘do-nothingness’ for the service NPCs, and are happy with the lessening of the nothingness time.
- “Hey Bub? Fella?! HEY! BUB?! Hey! I’m paying your by the hour here fella!! BUB!?!”
- You can now remove a fish from a fish bowl if the power is off.
- Apparently our fish were afraid of the dark, and would cat clamp themselves to the sides of the fish bowl if you attempted to remove them when the power was off. We fixed this, and now you can shove as many fish as you want into your pockets regardless of power state.
- We addressed several foundation issues that would result in Sims being unable to properly route over foundations within some lots in Willow Creek.
EP01 Issues
- The Booking Station and Interrogation Table will now properly function even when they are not in their default colors.
- Somehow these two objects lost all functionality if their colors were altered… yep, that happened.
Thank you so much for all of your participation in the October Challenge! I hope you had as much fun with it in game, as we did watching the challenge play out.
Until next time,
-SimGuruGnome
