The Sims 4 Blog: Top 10 Pool Building Tips

0

Via The Sims Blog!

Hi Simmers

By now, hopefully you’ve heard about the release of POOLS and have had a chance to jump in and experience them in game. If you haven’t yet, I really encourage you login to Origin to update The Sims 4* and check them out. You’ll find that there’s a lot of great stuff to explore, from a brand new “Swimwear” category in Create A Sim to flexible build options in Build Mode and fun Sim interactions – such as my favorite, the ability to Splash Sims sitting on the edge of a pool!

However, as the Build Producer, I thought it would be most helpful to provide you with some of my favorite tips for creating amazing looking pools. I hope you find them useful!!

Pool_1

SimGuruSteph’s 10 Tips

1.) You can build pools on terrain and on different floor-levels. To build a pool on different floor-levels, simply select the pool shape and place it within an existing room.

2.) Similar to room building, once a pool is placed and selected, use the HORIZONTAL ARROWS to resize it, the CURVED ARROWS to rotate it and the MULTI_ARROW button to move it.

3.) If you build floor-level pools don’t forget to add a pathway so your Sims can get to it.

4.) You can add a foundation to floor-level pools. If you remove the walls you can have a pool above the terrain with a little extra height!

5.) When using the Pool Tool, hold CONTROL to quickly delete pools. Note if you hold CONTROL on terrain pools you can easily delete parts of the pool and even add an island.

6.) Want your pool to have different depth? No problem, select the pool and on the context menu chose from the three different depths.

7.) You can build glass pools by simply adding windows to any floor-level pool. It’ll add a touch of opulence and a beautifully lit pool into your home.

8.) Place lights in the pool and set the mood by adjusting the intensity and color.

9.) When your pool or pools are complete, don’t forget to add accents from the “Pool Objects” sort and other decorative objects to pull your look together. Whether it’s a Pool Bar, Trees or Outdoor Lighting it will further enhance the space for your Sims to enjoy. Don’t forget about the Poolside Gnome if you have not found her.

10.) You can share your pool or entire home with pools on the Gallery!

 

The Sims 4 – 8 ways to step up your Live Mode game!

5

With a big number of possibilities in The Sims 4’s Live Mode, finding the right, fun thing to do in your game may be hard.

Here are 8 ways we prepared for you that will definitely raise your Fun need bar!

1. No cheating!

If you think you’re going to have a good time in your game by pasting the motherlode cheat over and over, you definitely won’t! The Sims 4 is about seeing your Sim succeed or fail with your help and guidance. The progress of leading your Sims to a better, more expensive home is what makes the game fun. The more challenges you give to your Sims the more you’ll remember the story of how your Household went from rags to riches – or conversely!

2. Give your Sims an unique personality.

Giving your Sims the perfect traits like Good, Creative, Active, Outgoing and more just doesn’t feel right. After all, nobody’s perfect! Try to mix things up a bit by giving your Sim some flaws too such as Evil, Clumsy, Childish, Hot-Headed and others.

TS4 2014-11-06 22-09-45-33

3. A Full House is a Fun House!

Having only 1 Sim in your Household is too much boring for you and that poor, single Sim. Kick it up a notch by adding more than 4 Sims (8 is a Maximum) into your Households in Create A Sim, or just download some Households from The Gallery and merge them with your existing one.

Controlling multiple Sims isn’t an easy thing – but it can bring you more Simoleons and more company for your Sim. It’s also a known fact that more random things will happen in your filled Home – both good and bad!

4. Nobody likes a do-gooder

Being a good friend, helping out others, following the laws – you’ve probably followed all of these things in Real Life, then where’s the fun in doing all of those things in The Sims as well?

Creating a few enemies and even pranking them is guaranteed to make you laugh. Some Sims may take it as a friendly gesture, but you have to prove them otherwise by doing a few more interactions from the Mean social section!

5. Challenges

Simmers are very creative when it comes to thinking of new ways to play The Sims 4. If you’re out of ideas, check out our collection of The Sims 4 Challenges made by other playerse!

 

6. Fulfill Whims

Fulfilling your Sim’s Whims and Wishes is like gifting a Child a toy they’ve always wanted. That warm feeling in your heart that you’re listening to your Sim’s wants is just amazing.

Depending on your Sim’s emotional state, they’ll get different Whims. The things you and the things you buy all affect your Sim and it might just help him or her out on deciding what they want to wish for next.

TS4 2014-11-06 22-50-18-59

7. Know Sims!

Being around other Sims isn’t good enough – you have to know them and their traits as well! The more Sims you know, the more crying shoulders or helping hands your Sim will have. Having Friends that you can rely on is always good to Vent your Anger or Tense Emotional state.

The best way to meet and greet other Sims is to visit other Community Lots.

Community Lot created by Cinderellimouse. You can download it in The Gallery under the ”Lucky Palms Resort’‘ name.

8. Earn Simoleons – at Home

Giving your Sim a Career is only good when you really need a big amount of money in order to purchase something really expensive, but if your Sim wants to gain Skills, raise their Need bars and socialize, the best way is to earn money at Home.

Probably the best way to earn money at Home is to Paint. As your Painting Skill levels up, you’ll create better quality paintings that you can sell for a big amount of Simoleons or just hang them around your rooms to make them prettier.

There are also some other ways of earning money at Home such as Programming, Hacking, Grafting, Gardening, Woodworking and collecting Gems & Collectibles around the Neighborhoods.

The 5 coolest Pools built in The Sims 4 by the Origin Team!

Via Origin Blog!

It’s a pretty good week to be a Sim. Pools have been added for free to The Sims 4, and they’re cooler than they’ve ever been. How cool? We snuck over to Maxis’ lair to experiment and see exactly how creative we could get.

The results were, well… you’ll need to see them to believe them.

Sims4_LazyRiver2

Semi-lazy River. Ever go swimming and then immediately decide you need a sandwich straight away? It’s terrible. You need to get out of the pool, and it’s cold, and you have to walk around while soaking wet, and… yeah. Wouldn’t it be better if you could just swim from the pool to the kitchen? We thought so too! The Sims of this house ended up using this pool as a sort of highway, jumping in and swimming from room to room instead of walking because, let’s be honest – walking is for chumps.

The Sims 4 – How to Fix Gliched Text

3

Since the release of The Sims 4’s New Updatesome players started experiencing weird glitches where some text lines in the game wouldn’t appear normally.

Simmer @JaaySimmer sent us a screenshot of what this issue looks like:

B1scdk3CEAEOn9p

SimGuruRusskii made a post on The Sims Official Forum explaining how to get rid of this issue:

Update: It seems that Step 3 is not helping out players at all. If first 2 steps don’t work, the best way you can fix this issue is by reinstalling the game completely!

There are some things you could try before re installing the whole game and patches.

1. If you have custom content (mods) run with the command line -ignoreMods or remove the mods from the Mods dir and see if this still happens. If the problem is fixed, can you give us a list of mods? that way we can determine which one may be causing the issue.

2. Run “Repair Game” in Origin. if that fixes it great!

3. Delete the file C:Program Files (x86)Origin GamesThe Sims 4DataClientStrings_ENG_US.package. Note: the strings file must be the one you are running with, I’m using EN_US as example. Then Run “Repair Game” in Origin.

If the problem persists try reinstalling the game and if it doesn’t get fixed. Please contact Costumer Support they should be asking for some files from you so we can troubleshoot.
