Sims 4 Patch Notes – October 31st, 2023

Update 10/31/2023
PC: 1.102.190.1030 / Mac: 1.102.190.1230
Console: 1.82

Hello Simmers,

It’s time for a new Sims 4 update. In this release we have a new feature and improvements to the Gallery text moderation. We also bring a number of bug fixes, some of which were reported and voted up by Simmers over on Answers HQ.

Enough of the formalities, let’s jump straight in and take a look at What’s New…

– The Sims Team

What’s New?

  • Today we begin rolling out a new feature: Discovery Quests! What is a Discovery Quest you ask? So glad you did! Discovery Quests are Quests that help you Discover more cool things about the game! You want to know even more? Sure thing! These Quests will point out key parts of gameplay and help you learn about features and activities key to a great Sims 4 experience.
  • But wait! There’s more! If you play through a Discovery Quest, you can claim some in-game rewards! You can add more to your Sim’s household from Simoleons to potions and even satisfaction points. What all can you do and claim? You’re so inquisitive! We love that! Here are some quests you’ll be able to play through:
    • Scoring Simoleons – Explore different ways your Sims can earn money, complete this quest and earn some, you guessed it, Simoleons!
    • Navigating Needs – Understand the different Needs your Sims have and how to keep your Sims happy
    • Skillful Sims – Navigate and learn how to help your Sims gain new skills and level up their lives
    • You and Your Phone – Phones offer your Sims many capabilities, explore this quest to learn more about everything you can navigate through your phone
    • Lifelong Aspirations – This quest is all about how Sims can work through and eventually complete their aspirations
    • Always on the Move – Your Sim would love to see the world beyond their home, let them experience new Worlds

You can find the Discovery Quests settings in Game Options under Tutorials & Tips.

  • We are also bringing a new context aware profanity checking system for all Gallery Uploads, Comments and Player Bio in all languages that The Sims 4 supports. While this is new for The Sims 4, the systems are currently used beyond The Gallery so they have been battle tested.

Bug Fixes

Base Game

  • Backpacks are great for storing things but having one in your lot won’t prevent your Sim from putting books away on the shelves. Leaves more room in your backpack for important things like snacks.
  • Korean – During the “Aliens Stole My Parents” scenario, the “take a vacation” option will be unavailable and the correct tooltip displayed explaining why now isn’t a great time to take a vacation.
  • English – Custom pronouns will be correctly reflected in the Odd Job Freelance Career
  • Loading into your home lot should greet you with your household and not error code 123:4a01697a:4adea999; prepare to accept the Welcome Wagon neighbors to your home.
  • Completing the Au Revoir, Lewis! In the Stuck in their Shadow Scenario will progress to the next goal instead of getting stuck. Now, time to go check that mail box.
  • Speaking of the Stuck in their Shadow Scenario, ever get those Mysterious Phone Calls? Nope? Well you should get them now without needing to take your Sim into Create-a-Sim and back.
  • Toddlers grow up so fast, but for right now, they will be able to grab a snack or drink from the Always Has A Snack-Bag lunchbox without going through a dramatic and sudden growth spurt first.
  • Starting the Finding Love After a Breakup Scenario will no longer drop you to the map with exception error code 121:8a89078a:d528d17c.
  • Sims that gain an extra trait can now be edited in Create-a-Sim.
  • Talking of procrastinating, when your Sim sits down to write a book or term paper they should do just that and not pick up the nearest book and start reading instead. Now, where is our basketball?
  • After a caterer has made food for your social event, you can drag this around now to place it where you like, useful for getting candles on a cake if your caterer isn’t great at placing the cake somewhere useful.
  • Dirty dishes can go anywhere, especially during student life. Who hasn’t found that one plate and multiple forks or spoons under their bed after detecting that odd aroma? Ohh, just us? Anyway apparently that isn’t where you should put them, and now neither will Sims who used to put them in the most distant parts of the home. Now they should show a bit more home pride and place dirty dishes in appropriate locations.
  • Removing skin details in Create-a-Sim should no longer generate a lastUIException for (AS)widgets.CAS.Customizer::CatalogPanel and instead will remove the skin details from your Sim as expected.
  • Stereo and Radio objects upgraded to Unbreakable shouldn’t break, no matter how hard you try. Problem was that the more determined Sims were finding the one weakness. These have been repaired free of charge and your Sims taught not to bend it that way again.

Console

  • The game should no longer enter an unrecoverable state when launching the game for the first time and accepting the User Agreements using a Mouse and Keyboard.
  • For Simmers using the Controls Legend, the callouts on the Gallery will be easier to read.
  • The Controls Legend in the Gallery will no longer display that you can block/unblock a player while navigating your Connections and not highlighting another Simmer.
  • For players that have disabled the Controls Legend in Game Options > Other, the Gallery will now respect those settings.
  • The Controls Legend being enabled will not display the Sim switch prompts (PlayStation – L1/R1, Xbox – LB/RB) in CAS if you only have a one Sim household
  • Opening the Cheats panel while on the Main Menu won’t keep it stuck open when you are done. The cheat panel can now be closed again.
  • While cooking, the shoulder buttons (PlayStation – L1/R1, Xbox – LB/RB) will switch between recipe filters as expected.
  • Entering a stop word (AND, WITH, OR etc.) in your Gallery search will no longer return zero results. For example: “Cat with Dog” will show you results for you to bring into your game. We will be continuing to update the Gallery search functionality to better handle stop words in the future, but you should get results now.
  • Viewing an upload was only displaying one page of comments meaning you couldn’t view everything if there were lots of responses. Now you can keep scrolling to read all the available comments.

City Living

  • You know when you have something important to work on and then you procrastinate, and maybe play a little basketball before getting back to it before… basketball? Well we told the Sims that if they didn’t focus we’d take their basketball away, they can play later. So now Sims should no longer stop their important tasks to autonomously go and play basketball.

Discover University

  • Russian – A typo on the “Accept as new Roommate” interaction has been addressed, thanks to AHQ Heroes for raising this issue.

Seasons

  • Sims that celebrate Neighborhood Brawl Holiday will no longer have negative sentiments towards each other afterwards, such is the power of the holidays.

Island Living

  • Mermaids tend to like the ocean, or the streets of New York City if our 1984 movie history serves us right. What you might not know is that they enjoy the odd mud bath too, or rather they do now since they will stop complaining about a routing error when trying to take one.
  • Thalassophobia, or the fear of deep water, is real and some Sims were becoming tense even when not near the ocean. Now the moodlet should only apply if the Sim is swimming.

Eco Lifestyle

  • The Juice Fizzer (juiceFizzer_EP09GEN_set1) will do what it’s expected to do, fizz your juice and not get stuck on the fizzing part of the function.

Snowy Escape

  • Yamachan will no longer enter your homes even if you use a Neighborhood Action Plan. If Yamachan is already in your home, you can tell them to leave using the Send Home interaction.

Cottage Living

  • Rabbits can be very thoughtful; one in particular was giving away items tagged as DEBUG for PC and Mac Simmers or UNKNOWN for console Simmers,as gifts like the Cow Flower. This gift has been removed from the rabbit’s stash and will not be presented to your Sims.

High School Years

  • Sims attending the Copperdale Pier together can enjoy the attractions, they can even ride solo or together. The tunnel of love is still reserved for potential love interests though.

Our Lookbook & Thoughts

We loved this revised version of The Coven Collection and wanted to create a couple of quick Halloween/punk rock inspired looks using Greenllamas’s custom content!

Feelin’ Green

The Coven Collection

Not going to a Halloween party? Just eating up with friends at the local Club or Pub instead? Then this look is for your Sim! While it could be turned into a Halloween look later in the night, this is more of a comfortable yet practical outfit for just hanging out with friends. The Beanie and Hair combo is excellent and paired with the corset the look brings that Punk Rock vibe together.

  • Hair: Long Loose Waves (The Coven Collection: Midnight Edition)
  • Top: Off Shoulder Corset (The Coven Collection: Midnight Edition)
  • Bottom: Ripped Shorts (Werewolves)
  • Shoes: Skater Sneakers (Grunge Revival)
  • Accessories: Bracelet (Werewolves) Beanie & Necklace (Grune Revival)
  • Makeup: Eyeshadow (Luxury Party) Eyeliner (Base Game), Blush (Mac x Base Game) Lips (Mac x Base Game) Nails (Spa Day)

Witchy Vibes

TS4 x64 milkeeme milkbeam 2023 10 30 00 08 35

You can never go wrong with a Witch outfit for Halloween. This combination of accessories from Spooky Stuff along with the shoes and full body outfit from The Coven Collection work wonderfully together! In a classic but strikingly cool look, it all comes together perfectly. The ultimate go to Halloween look!

  • Hair:  Long Loose Waves, Tucked Behind Ear (The Coven Collection: Midnight Edition)
  • Full Body: Off Shoulder Shirt Dress with Corset Belt (The Coven Collection: Midnight Edition)
  • Shoes: Over Ankle Boots (The Coven Collection: Midnight Edition)
  • Accessories: Witches Hat & Spiderweb Tights (Spooky Stuff), Earrings (Growing Together) Necklace (Cottage Living)
  • Makeup: Eyeliner & Blush (Mac x Base Game) Lipstick (Realm of Magic) Nails (Carnaval Streetwear)

So, what do we think?

Well, The Coven Collection Midnight Edition is welcomed addition to any custom content users collection. We loved how versatile the whole collection is as a whole. However, when breaking it down and experimenting with more looks, we discovered that the outfit possibilities are endless!

Naturally we found that the occult Game Packs of Werewolves and Realm of Magic were great packs that worked well with Greenllamas’s custom content as well as the recently released Grunge Revival Kit. Not to mention The Sims 4 Base Game also had a few surprising combinations. Spooky Stuff was another pack that allowed us more options from a Halloween perspective and we wish we could share more than the two looks featured in this post.

As for the three new hairstyles, they will be showcased in our everyday game play going forward!

This is definetly a Custom Content collection you don’t want to miss out on!

The Sims 4 Elders Autumnal Lookbook

Like many, The Sims 4 Elders is a life stage that I rarely play however recently I’ve gotten into playing the game slightly differently. With a more family-orientated approach, I’ve been striving to play with features I haven’t explored or have overlooked for some time. Truthfully, it has been a challenge at times but also so rewarding. Playing with Elders has been incredibly interesting and they need to be shown some love!

With that being said, let’s take a look at our featured Sims 4 Elders for this lookbook!

Meet The Elders

Residing in the wonderful world of Windenburg, Dotty and Kenny Shirley have definitely opted for a quieter life. Having travelled the world for many years, Windenburg seemed like the perfect choice for their later years.

Kenny is an Eco Innovator. He can always be found tinkering and creating new inventions. Now that he has plenty of spare time he’s been able to dream bigger than ever before. Dotty on the other hand makes the most of being able to spend time outdoors either on her own gardening or spending time with family.

Sims 4 Elders

All of the looks featured in this lookbook are completely custom content-free. A full rundown of the clothing options used in each Sims 4 Elders look can be found below!

Sims 4 Random Number Generator: Transform Boring Gameplay!

Bored? Try a Sims 4 random number generator! There’s no question that over the past decade, The Sims 4 has offered plenty of new experiences through base game updates and DLC packs but even the most creative Simmers can still sometimes find themselves bored. As humans, we tend to stick to what we know and play the same types of storylines over and over again. I’ve totally been there, too!

Tired of playing the same storylines over and over? Add an element of randomness!

But this kind of repetitive play can lead to serious burnout. And the worst part? All that money you’ve spent on DLC packs is going to waste because you’re not exploring enough and utilizing all the features those packs have to offer. It can be hard to break out of that cycle, though, which is where a random number generator can help!

The Sims 4 Random Number Generator

Sims 4 random number generator
Hm, what should we do in The Sims 4 today? Let a random number generator decide!

So how does using a Sims 4 random number generator help make your game more exciting? Well, the possibilities are almost limitless, but to understand how to use this tool to improve your gameplay, you first need to know what number generators are and how they work. Then you can apply them to almost anything you want!

What are Random Number Generators?

THESIMS4GETTOWORK
Random number generators are super scientific, yet super simple at the same time!

Random number generators (or RNGs) are computerized algorithms that create numbers which lack any kind of pattern or predictability. Essentially, these algorithms spit out random numbers, which can be used for a variety of different purposes, including gaming. If that sounds confusing, all you really need to know is that RNGs are basically a calculator designed to spit out random numbers.

So what’s the point of this? Well, for Simmers specifically, these random numbers can be used to dictate how you play your Sims 4 game. You can do this in a nearly infinite amount of ways, but the gist is that you assign certain game outcomes to a set of numbers and whichever number the RNG spits out is the outcome you choose in your game. Playing The Sims 4 this way can help break you out of a boring cycle of predictability and force you to do things in the game you wouldn’t ordinarily do.

How to Apply RNGs to The Sims 4

For the sake of this article, we’re going to call the RNG a Sims 4 random number generator, but just know that random number generators can be used for any game and many purposes outside of gaming, not just The Sims 4.

Let a computer make random choices for your gameplay!

We talked a bit about how to apply the Sims 4 random number generator to your game by assigning certain outcomes to a number and then choosing the outcome that corresponds to the number the generator gives you. Now we’re going to break that down into more detail.

  • Step 1: Search online for a random number generator to bring up many different online number generators that are free to use. We’ll also list some number generators we like later on in this article.
  • Step 2: Put in the range of numbers you want the Sims 4 random number generator to pull from. For example, you can tell it to select a number between 1 and 10.
  • Step 3: Make sure you have assigned some sort of outcome to each number. For example, you could assign different story options to each number. Maybe 1 means your Sim will focus on a party lifestyle, 2 means they’ll focus on their career, 3 means they’ll live a family life with a spouse and kids, etc. The options are endless. To shake things up, you can ask the Sims 4 random number generator to spit out multiple numbers, which could make things extra interesting. It would certainly be a fun challenge if it spat out 1 and 3 and your Sim ended up trying to balance a family with a party lifestyle, wouldn’t it?
  • Step 4: Tell it to generate a number (or a set of numbers). Then play your game according to the outcomes you previously assigned to those numbers.

You can use a Sims 4 random number generator like a choose your own adventure novel. Anytime your Sim is at a crossroads where they have to make a decision about something, you can turn to the RNG to make that decision for your Sim. This could take both you and your Sim through so many unexpected twists and turns you never would have thought of on your own.

Never tried out the karaoke bars in San Myshuno? Put it into an RNG and see if it’s time to visit one!

Some other ways to apply a Sims 4 random number generator to your game include helping you decide which pack content to explore. Assign numbers to all the packs you own that you feel you don’t play with enough and see which pack it spits out. For even more interesting gameplay, generate up to 3 numbers and try to find a way to incorporate all three of those packs into your gameplay.

Or if your Sim is caught up in a love triangle, using a Sims 4 random number generator can help you decide which lucky Sim ultimately gets to walk down the aisle with them! You can really do a lot with RNGs to help you break out of a Simming rut!

Random Number Generators We Love!

Okay so you have a pretty good grasp of how to make your Sims 4 game more exciting by using a random number generator, but where do you find a good one? Luckily, the internet is full of really useful RNGs that are completely free and super helpful for a wide range of uses, including having more fun with your Sims 4 game!

Random.org

Random dot org
Image Source: Random.org

Random.org is a pretty tried-and-true number generator. It’s been around for a long time and it’s super easy to use. Pick a minimum and maximum number you want it to pull from and hit Generate. Presto! You have your random number. This tool is great for quick and easy number generation. It also has other free tools like a dice roller and coin flipper. However, we think its sequence generator is a little too complex for the simple purposes most Simmers would want to use it for.

Symbolab

symbolab dot com
Image Source: Symbolab.com

Like Random.org, Symbolab also offers a dice roller as well as basic number picking. We like Symbolab’s dice roller because it allows you to choose how many sides there are to the dice as well as how many dice should be rolled. It’s also much easier to use its sequence generator because it’s built right into the main number generator. Pick your minimum and maximum number and how many numbers you want to generate. You can even decide whether you want to include repeat numbers or not, and tell the RNG to pull from even numbers, odd numbers, or both. Overall, we prefer Symbolab for dice rolling and sequence generating.

RandomNumberGenerator.com

Randomize baby names for your Sims
Image Source: top50names.com

Don’t be fooled by the uncreative name. This website definitely has an edge over the competition, especially for Simmers! Not only does it have a dice roller and a basic number generator, but it also has a random baby name picker! Be honest; how many times have you sat staring at the new baby screen in your game agonizing over which name to pick for your legacy’s next heir? Never again! Choose the gender, length, initial, popularity, and origin for your new Sim’s name and generate a list of names tailored to your preferences!

Goodbye Boredom! Hello Randomness!

We hope using a Sims 4 random number generator will help you find new ways to enjoy your game. And if you loved this article on using a Sims 4 random number generator to make your game more exciting, check out these tips and tricks for telling great stories!

Sims 4 Story Starter Kit: An Insidious Inheritance

Welcome to our twentieth official The Sims 4 Story Starter Kit! If you missed all the info on The Sims 4 Story Starter Kits, you can read more about what they are and how they work in our introductory article!

A single father and his three girls move into a new home, unaware it’s already occupied!

For this month’s The Sims 4 Story Starter Kit, we’re bringing you a recently widowed single father of three young girls. When he receives a mysterious letter informing him of a massive inheritance his late wife left to him, he thinks this could be the fresh start he and his daughters need, but beware! Not everything is as it seems and everything comes with a price!

The Sims 4 Story Starter Kit: An Insidious Inheritance

sims 4 story starter kit

Jarrett thought he had the perfect life. A kind, loving wife whom he completely adored to heaven and back, three beautiful, healthy daughters, a nice home in the suburbs with a white picket fence, and a writing career that was just starting to take off after years of hard work thanks to his wife’s unwavering belief in him. Then Irene started to get sick…

Suddenly, life became very different. Jarrett watched helplessly as the love of his life slipped away from him a little more each day. He spent more time at the hospital than at home and their children spent more time with babysitters than their parents. When Irene’s illness inevitably claimed her, Jarrett was left a widower and a single father of three young girls who were grieving for their mother.

Holly, the oldest, was affected the most. She became withdrawn and resentful of people, demanding to be left alone and flying into fits of rage when her request was ignored. She started having strange dreams she was convinced were prophecies and drawing confusing images of gargoyles and monsters but her therapist insisted it was just a child’s grief-driven delusion.

He tried his best to push his own grief aside to be the parent his children needed but he struggled to keep everything together on his own. His career that had been ready to take off was suffering now; between taking care of his sick wife and now trying to be with his daughters, he had little time to write. Nothing being published meant no money coming in. Jarrett was still trying to pay off his late wife’s mountain of medical bills, pay the mortgage, and make car payments. In a matter of months, the bank had repossessed both the house and car. Jarrett had a limited number of days before he and his children were homeless.

That was when Jarrett received a peculiar letter in the mail from an estate lawyer for his deceased wife. That was strange… Jarrett knew nothing about this estate lawyer. The letter informed him that Irene had been in possession of a large, historic manor in Forgotten Hollow that had been in her family for many generations. Now that she had sadly passed on, the house was his. Jarrett had his reasons for being suspicious, of course, but desperation makes people do crazy things. He packed up what he could and moved the girls to Forgotten Hollow to make this old estate their new home.

But once they arrived, it became clear the house was in bad shape. It was very outdated and would need a lot of work to be restored to its former glory. It would be a while before Jarrett had the money to do any major renovations. Still, it was a fully paid off home and they had nowhere else to go, so Jarrett decided to make the best of it for now.

However, not long after moving in, weird things started happening. Holly’s dreams became night terrors that she’d wake up screaming from almost every night, Autumn would talk to some kind of imaginary friend she called “the shadow man,” and Jarrett would find bizarre things in April’s crib, like piles of dirt and old coins from the 1700s that Holly swore up and down she never put there. But the scariest thing? The prophetic dreams Holly had before they moved here? They’d all been about this house! The gargoyles and monsters she’d been drawing? They were statues from this house!

Did Holly have some kind of supernatural ability? Was the house trying to speak to her? Whatever was in this house long before they arrived here, was it friendly or did it want to do harm to them? And if Holly was sensitive to the supernatural, was she in the most danger out of all of them?

Jarrett knows something isn’t right at 13 Deadend Drive, but he’s stuck there. He has no choice but to make peace with whatever inhabits his new home… or drive it out.

The Sims 4 Taylor Swift: 1989 (TV) Create A Sim Challenge

In honour of 1989 Taylor’s Version being Taylor’s latest re-recorded album and in true Sims Community fashion, we wanted to create a new Sims 4 Taylor Swift lookbook to commemorate the launch!

If you have followed Sims Community for a while, you will know that this isn’t the first time Taylor Swift has inspired us. Our previous content focused on both RED (Taylor’s Version) and Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and the Henford-on-Bagley Playlist inspired by Evermore. You could say that the Sims Community team are well and truly Swifties!

Sims 4 Taylor Swift
Haunted-inspired look from the Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) CAS Challenge & Lookbook

Sims 4 Taylor Swift Challenge Details

This Sims 4 Taylor Swift-inspired challenge features all the songs from 1989 (Taylor’s Version) and aims to get players to create looks inspired by the various hit songs from the album.

Of course, we had to include the new Vaulted and the exclusive edition songs. If not this Sims 4 Taylor Swift challenge wouldn’t be complete otherwise. With over twenty songs to choose from, there will be plenty of ways to create a number of looks that represent 1989 (Taylor’s Version).

Sims 4 Taylor Swift

There is no right or wrong way to complete this Sims 4 Taylor Swift challenge. Simply, pick one of the songs and create a look based on your choice.

We also added a free choice option for this Sims 4 Taylor Swift Challenge. This was more, so players could potentially create an overall look based upon the album or combine inspiration from multiple songs into one look.

Once you’ve completed your looks, you can share them on social media or The Gallery. Just make sure to use the hashtag #1989TVSims!

And with that, that is everything you need to know about this The Sims 4 Taylor Swift Create A Sim Challenge!

The Lookbook (Taylor’s Version)

As Swifties ourselves, we couldn’t create a The Sims 4 Taylor Swift challenge and not make a few looks inspired by the album. Between SnarkyWitch and I, we have each picked two songs and got creative with our looks!

Each of the looks we’ve created for this Sims 4 Taylor Swift challenge is Custom Content free and uses a variety of options available in-game. Full details of each look can be found under each look!

Heaven and Sin

taylor blankspace2

“Oh my God, look at that face. You look like my next mistake. Love’s a game. Wanna play?”

Blank Space is the story of a jealous woman who seems like a daydream for a month… until her nasty temper turns the fantasy into a nightmare. This music video had so many iconic looks that it was hard to pick one but in the end, I decided to recreate Taylor’s horseback riding outfit. It’s such elevated simplicity, elegant, and speaks to my inner horse girl.

  • Hair: Messy Curly Bun (Eco Lifestyle)
  • Top: Loose Fitted V-Neck Sweater (Moonlight Chic)
  • Bottom: Button-Up Fitted Breeches (Realm of Magic)
  • Shoes: Knee-High English Riding Boots (Horse Ranch)
  • Accessories: Sunglasses (Seasons) / Earrings (Base Game) / Gloves (Home Chef Hustle)
  • Makeup: Eyeshadow, Eyeliner, & Blush (Base Game) / Lipstick (Base Game – MAC Cosmetics)

This Sick Beat

taylor shakeitoff

“I’m dancing on my own. I make the rules up as I go. And that’s what they don’t know.”

Shake It Off holds a special place in my heart because it came out at a good time in my life. I’d just started a new relationship, I was working on things I was passionate about and Shake It Off just felt like the perfect soundtrack for all of that; shaking off the hard times of the past and looking forward to the future. Even though that relationship ultimately ended and my other passions went in a different direction, Shake It Off still brings back all those positive, hopeful feelings. Of course, I had to recreate one of my favourite looks from that video!

  • Hair: High Ponytail (Spa Day)
  • Top: Half-Sleeved Windbreaker (Growing Together)
  • Bottom: Distressed Faded Denim Shorts (Bowling Night)
  • Shoes: Lace-Up Sneakers (Incheon Arrivals)
  • Accessories: Earrings (Base Game) / Necklace (Get Famous) / Bracelets (Luxury Party & Get Together) / Socks (High School Years)
  • Makeup: Eyeshadow, Eyeliner, Blush, and Lipstick (Base Game)

Now You Say You Want It Back

TS4 x64 milkeeme milkbeam 2023 10 22 18 24 32

“People like you always want back the love they gave away”

All You Had To Do Is Stay can be interpreted in so many different ways. For me, I had the image of a Sim finally being free from a relationship before the other person realised their mistake. They would be walking through town singing the lyrics to the song wearing their favourite outfit and making heads turn in the process. I chose to create this outfit using colours featured in the new artwork to really bring the look to life. In fact, it came together much better than I expected!

  • Hair:  Shaggy Wolfcut (Werewolves)
  • Top: Layered Cropped Blazer (Incheon Arrivals)
  • Skirt: Pleated Skirt (High School Years)
  • Shoes: Woven Wedges (Cottage Living)
  • Accessories:  Crescent Necklace and single Decorative Rings (Werewolves)
  • Makeup: Eyeshadow ( Base Game x MAC), Eyeliner (High School Years), Lipstick (Base Game x MAC), Nails (Base Game)

Now We Got Problems

TS4 x64 blarffy softie 2023 10 22 19 35 44

“Did you have to ruin what was shiny, now it’s all rusted”

As soon as I decided to create a look for Bad Blood, I knew it would be something that gave off a similar vibe to that of the music video. It gives a don’t mess with this Sim impression and that this Sim means business when on a mission. Definitely a Sim I wouldn’t want to cross in a bad mood!

  • Hair: Twin Braids with Bangs (Snowy Escape)
  • Top: Mesh Long Sleeve (High School Years)
  • Bottoms: Camo Cargos (Moonlight Chic)
  • Shoes: Laced Up Military Boots (Werewolves)
  • Accessories:  Beanie (Grunge Revival), Celestial Earrings (Realm of Magic), Ring (Base Game)
  • Makeup: Eyeshadow (High School Years), Eyeliner (Base Game), Blush (Base Game x MAC) Lips (Base Game x Akalukery)

The Sims 4 Laundry List: October 26th, 2023

There is a new Sims 4 Laundry List! Here’s a list of fixes you should expect in the upcoming game patch!

Sims 4 Laundry List

The Sims Team has just published a brand new Sims 4 Laundry List for October 26th, 2023!

If you are new to The Sims or don’t know what The Sims 4 Laundry List is, it is a list of fixes The Sims Team share with players as to what to expect in the upcoming game update for The Sims 4.

A Screenshot from The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack

At a glance, some of the top concerns in the community include Mortimer Goth having a cloned skin, Yamachan bursting into your Sims homes, toggling between recipe filters and Sims placing plates in places they wouldn’t normally do so.

As detailed in the Laundry List, these topics currently have fixes and those not listed are still having fixes worked on.

Have a closer look at the October 26th, 2023 Laundry List!

The Sims 4 Laundry List: October 2023

Hi Simmers!

Welcome to the Laundry List where we’ll share a list of the top community concerns that we’re currently investigating and hope to have resolved in the upcoming patch. This is just a top list, there are more topics that we saw reported by players that are not listed and being worked on.

These concerns were reported by players who help us continue our work of improving the user experience on a regular basis. 

Please note that some topics can be tricky and require an extended investigation on our end, so even though we are actively reviewing, it’s not a guarantee that we’ll have an immediate fix for it in the upcoming patch. 

Here’s the list of the top community concerns we’re investigating for the game update next month:

Thanks for all your patience and valuable help! Please continue sharing with us about any issues you’re experiencing on Answers HQ. We’ll continue to check in, and together we can make this game the best that it can be. Happy Simming!

It does look like Elanor might be calling our Sims just a little longer but at least Yamachan will hopefully stop making surprise unannounced appearances in future!

Keep reading to find out more about when to expect the next The Sims 4 Update and how to report any bugs/issues you may be experiencing!

When is the next The Sims 4 Update?

With the recent return of Stuff Packs with The Sims 4 Home Chef Hustle, this is the first patch that the community has received since its release. We also know that there is a new expansion pack due sometime between now and December as stated in the Roadmap. The Sims Team has been relatively quiet since the Stuff Packs release and there is currently no news about the expansion pack and what it could be about. Hopefully we, as a community will hear some news from The Sims Team soon!

Based upon the previous The Sims 4 Laundry Lists, we should expect to see the next The Sims 4 Base Game update in the near future. The last few Laundry Lists have seen game updates released around seven days after publication. However, this is based on the release windows we’ve seen in the past, and this may vary for this next patch.

While there is currently no planned release for October or November, this is more than likely going to be just a bug-fix patch. We will likely see this next Sims 4 Update on Tuesday, October 31st, 2023.

Sims 4 Vampire Build: Beware Saying “I Do” Among the Dead!

With Halloween fast approaching, it’s the perfect season for your occult Sims to tie the knot, and I’ve got a great Sims 4 vampire build for just that purpose! Your vampire Sims will love the spooky vibes of this wedding venue located in a cemetery.

A wedding in a graveyard? Sure, why not?

Of course, I might be just a little bit biased because I built this wedding venue. You should be the judge here and take a tour for yourself! Shall we take a stroll through the cemetery tonight?

Sims 4 Vampire Build Tour

sims 4 vampire build

Let’s take a guided tour through what might possibly be your vampire couple’s future wedding venue! From old stone architecture to a mix of rich reds and inky blacks, this is the perfect spot to get married if you’re two creatures of the night.

The Cemetery

cemetery

Of course, the perfect backdrop for a lot like this is Forgotten Hollow so that’s where this beautifully eerie cemetery is located. Through the wrought iron front gates lies tombstones from a time long forgotten. Winding stone pathways through dying foliage and old stone carvings cast a creepy yet beautiful ambiance over the whole area. And when playing in live mode, the tombstones have swirls of mist around them for an even more spooky effect.

graveyard

The pavilion in the centre of the cemetery is where wedding vows take place and a few stone pews allow for a small, close-knit clan to join the vampiric couple in celebration of an eternity together. Er, quite literally an eternity. The ceremony being held under a covered pavilion serves two functions; one is to keep the couple and the guests dry in case of rain or snow and the other is to protect all your undead Sims from the dangers of sunlight.

wedding pavilion

This Sims 4 vampire build was definitely designed with both beauty and utility in mind. After all, our occult Sims need different accommodations than their mortal counterparts.

The Reception Area

mausoleum

Speaking of vampiric accommodations, the mausoleum located on the premises is just a front to keep the mortals out. Rather than leading to an underground crypt, the mausoleum in this Sims 4 vampire build actually leads to a small but elegant reception area where your vampiric couples can kick back with a few plasma janes and listen to the soothing sounds of pipe organ music.

reception

Including the pipe organ bench and the newlyweds, this cozy area seats up to 12 Sims so vampires looking to keep their wedding a private and intimate affair will feel right at home here.

dinner and music

A head table for the couple and a bar fully stocked with plasma will allow your newlyweds to sip their drinks in comfort and allow your guests to enjoy the free flowing drinks and conversation all night long. Just don’t expect to find a bathroom or kitchen. Those are silly mortal things that vampires have no need of!

The Honeymoon Suite

Is your vampire couple growing weary of entertaining guests at their wedding reception and eager to sneak away for some private time as married vampires? This Sims 4 vampire build has just what they’re looking for.

Official Leak: The Sims 4 For Rent Expansion Pack

Surely enough, a few hours after the initial Sims 4 For Rent leak from Instant Gaming, more information has since been revealed. As confirmed by Anadius, we bring you the rundown of the upcoming pack’s features, box art, and release date. Ready for the scoop? Let’s dive right in!

New Expansion Pack: Title and Release Date

Hold on to your plumbombs, Simmers, because this is a big one! The whisper is that the next expansion will be none other than The Sims 4 For Rent Expansion Pack. Mark your calendars (or set a reminder on your Sim’s in-game phone): The expansion pack, if all goes according to the leak, will officially go live on Thursday, 7th December 2023.

Picture this: it’s the perfect chilly weather outside, and you’ve got your hot cocoa and a brand-new Sims experience waiting for you. Sounds dreamy, right? So, fingers and toes crossed: Here’s hoping for an early Christmas gift from the Sims universe!

First Peek at the Sims 4 For Rent Box Art

Sims 4 For Rent
The Sims 4 For Rent Expansion Pack Box Art

Here’s a first peek at what appears to be The Sims 4 For Rent Expansion Pack box art. And let me tell you, it’s just as colourful and rich with personality as we would anticipate from the world of our favourite Sims.

The artwork appears to immediately convey the idea of what “For Rent” might mean. The scene displays a bustling neighbourhood setting, and our Sims indeed do appear to be very busy! A Sim that appears to be the landlord is shown on the left. He might be tallying the Simoleons that his renters have given him, or he might be checking off rental obligations.

A stylish Sim woman stands next to him, projecting confidence. Might she be a recent renter? A manager of properties? Or maybe she’s just keeping a watch on the goings-on around the neighborhood. In any case, she means business!

Other Sims, each with a unique story, may be seen in the background, peeping through doorways and giving us hints about the wide range of interactions and events we can expect in this update. The design seems to be giving us a real indication of the depth of this expansion. Living in such close quarters brings with it a multitude of stories, adventures, and yes, misadventures; it’s not just about paying rent or being a landlord. And if the box art is any indication, we’re in for a delightful blend of drama, fun, and those unexpected twists that only The Sims can deliver.

Official Description and Features

Sims 4 For Rent

Bring the neighbors together (literally) and experience multi-family lots as a tenant or property owner in The Sims 4 For Rent Expansion Pack. Your Sim can now own and manage multiple Residential Rental lots or move into a home where they’re closer to their neighbors than ever (perfect for snooping!). From potlucks to evictions, there’s a lot to do and a bustling new world to do it in. Purchase now to get bonus items to bring the Night Market home for your Sims with The Sims 4 Street Eats Digital Content**, available in-game on launch day, December 7.

Sims 4 For Rent Expansion Pack Features

Street Eats Digital Content — Bring night market flavor home with a grill cart, street umbrella and fruit basket, available when you order from November 2 through January 18**.

The New Lot Type in Town — New Residential Rental lots give you the chance to get creative with multi-family dwellings. Give your Sims a basement suite to rent out, create a duplex to keep 2 families close or even build apartments.

Property Management — Property-owner Sims can be present property managers, living among their tenants, or they can live in a separate residence while generating income from several property investments. Watch out — if property owners don’t keep their Unit Ratings high, they could face a Tenant Revolt.

Closer Than Ever — Closeness can create harmony — or drama! Sims in Residential Rentals will inevitably get tangled up in each other’s lives. They’ll socialize at potlucks, meet in the garden or other common areas and have ample opportunity to discover each other’s secrets by eavesdropping, snooping or even breaking and entering.

Bustling & Beautiful — Explore a new world that’s alive with possibilities. Visit the botanical garden, leave an offering at a Spirit House and discover an animal sanctuary! One of the most iconic scenes Tomarang has to offer is the Night Market where your Sims will discover new foods and unique objects.

The Gist of it All: Own the Neighbourhood

This expansion pack seems to be centered on bringing your Sims even closer to their neighbors. How close? Think multi-family lots, bustling community activities, potlucks, and of course, the juicy drama that comes with living so near to others.

Here’s a snippet from the leak: “Your Sim can now own and manage multiple Residential Rental lots or move into a home where they’re closer to their neighbors than ever (perfect for snooping!). From potlucks to evictions there’s a lot to do and a bustling new world to do it in.”

What’s New in the Sims 4 For Rent?

  • Street Eats Digital Content: Order from November 2 through January 18 and give your Sims the night market flavor right at home with a grill cart, street umbrella, and fruit basket.
  • The New Lot Type in Town: Yes, yes, and YES! Get super creative with multi-family dwellings. Whether you want a basement suite, a cozy duplex, or a full-fledged apartment complex, the Sims world is your oyster.
  • Property Management: As a property-owner Sim, you can dive deep into the real estate game, earning Simoleons and managing your units. But remember, a poor Unit Rating could spell disaster with a Tenant Revolt (Yikes!).
  • Closer Than Ever: Get ready for some neighborly love… or chaos! Sims living in these Residential Rentals will have plenty of chances to bond, or, you know, snoop around.
  • Bustling & Beautiful New World: The expansion brings in a vibrant world known as Tomarang. And one of its highlighted spots? The Night Market. Ready to discover exotic foods and unique items?

A December to Remember?

There you have it, fellow Simmers! The air is thick with anticipation, and the Sims 4 For Rent Expansion Pack has us eagerly waiting for December. But let’s always keep in mind that this leak is still, you know, a leak. But if it turns out to be true, December is going to be an absolute treat for all of us. For now, let’s hold onto our plumbobs and eagerly await more info on Sims Community News!

What do you think Simmers? Are we expecting apartments as the new expansion pack for the Sims 4 in December? Let us know in the comments below!

Sims 4 Family Reunion Guide: Better Together!

Sims 4 Family Reunion Guide: Better Together!

In The Sims 4 Growing Together, Sims can catch up with all of their extended relatives by throwing a Sims 4 family reunion event. Learn all about this social event in our guide!

Bring the whole fam jam together with a family reunion!

The Sims 4 Growing Together Family Reunions

We’ll walk you through how to start this event, the event goals, and all the rewards you can get from this event. We’re going to help you make sure all your family reunions in The Sims 4 Growing Together are a gold level success!

Throwing a Sims 4 Family Reunion

Select your social event

Firstly, to throw a Sims 4 family reunion event, have any adult Sim in your household use the Social app on their cell phone to Start a Social Event. Select the Family Reunion event about midway down the list and decide whether you want to throw a goaled event or not. Goaled events come with event goals to complete and rewards for finishing the event at bronze, silver, or gold level. If you do not check the box for a goaled event, the family reunion will be a generic event with no goals and no rewards. If Seasons is installed, goaled events cannot be hosted on a holiday.

The guests do not all have to be related to the hosts in order to be invited to a Sims 4 family reunion. This allows Sims who are distant relatives, related through marriage, or Sims who are honourary family members (such as close family friends) to attend these family events, too.

The Sims 4 Growing Together Family Reunions

Once you’ve selected the family reunion event, choose the hosts, the guest list, and the mixologist (if desired). A family reunion must have at least 1 host and 4 guests. Hired roles are optional. Then pick the location of the party.

Sims 4 Growing Together: Family Reunion Goals

When the event starts, the guests will show up on the lot. Everyone involved with the event will change into their party attire. If you chose not to have a goaled event, you are free to do whatever you like until the event timer ends. However, if you chose a goaled event, there are some unique goals to complete.

Meeting new family members

Main Goal: Take 20 Photos

Other Goals:

  • Thank a guest for coming
  • Talk about family
  • Call to meal
  • Share photos
  • Tell a story
  • Hug Sims

New interactions will be available on Sims during the event. They will help you complete some of the above event goals.

The Sims 4 Growing Together Family Reunions

Guests can talk to each other about various family topics during a Sims 4 family reunion event. They can discuss the importance of family, talk about family lineages and discuss future family plans with each other. Any of these interactions will help to complete the Talk About Family event goal. These interactions are easy to find in the social menu. They pop right up when clicking on a Sim; they’re not in a sub-category.

Bonding with Family

Family Reunion Rewards

Of course, you’ll want to aim to finish a Sims 4 family reunion event at the gold level. However, the bronze and silver reward items for this event are pretty good, too. Finishing a successful family reunion will unlock new collage frames for your Sims. Completing the event at silver or gold will also unlock all rewards from lower reward levels. So if you completed the event at gold level, you would also get the Four’s a Crowd and Three’s Company frames in addition to the Four’s (Still) a Crowd frame.

Bronze Reward: Hodge Podge Photo Collage Frames: Three’s Company
Silver Reward Frames
Silver Reward: Hodge Podge Photo Collage Frames: Four’s a Crowd
The Sims 4 Growing Together Family Reunions
Gold Reward: Hodge Podge Photo Collage Frames: Four’s (Still) a Crowd

Moreover, these collage frame reward item are only unlockable by completing a Sims 4 family reunion event at bronze, silver, or gold level. Obviously, we don’t have many collage frame options in The Sims 4, so these are all pretty great rewards. All the frames come in 8 swatches.

POSSIBLE LEAK: The Sims 4 Rental Houses Expansion Pack

Before we continue talking about The Sims 4 Rental Houses that has seemingly surfaced on the web, it’s important to give a disclaimer. This post is purely based on speculation for now and contains no official confirmation as of yet. All image assets shown below are recreated for listing purposes.

Spotted by the eagle-eyed @TheHenfordHen, we may well be seeing the option for our Sims to become landlords in the near future. The unofficial listing seems to hint that the 15th expansion pack could well be focused around rental houses and appropriately named The Sims 4 Rental Houses.

There’s a Release Date for The Sims 4 Rental Houses

We’ve been informed about this latest leak via social media and it looks as though the upcoming release has been revealed by Instant Gaming again. Currently, the release date is set for 8th, December 2023. Again this information is currently unconfirmed and speculation until we have an official announcement.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Instant Gaming leak an upcoming pack, in fact, the same thing happened for The Sims 4 Horse Ranch!

The Sims 4 Rental Houses Pack: Potential Leak

At the time of writing, Instant Gaming was the only site to be listing “The Sims 4 Rental Houses Expansion Pack” on their site. With only a placeholder box art and release date. We are yet to find out any information about potential features.

Placeholder Box Art for the Possible Upcoming Expansion Pack

It’s important to note as well that this also isn’t confirmed official box art for the new expansion pack. As we have seen in previous pack leaks, the images can created using player-made content or even assets from previous games.

Update: Since originally posting, it has been discovered that the build featured in the placeholder box art is actually from a player-made build.

The build was originally shared on Reddit two years ago by Oreyt. This information was discovered by X/Twitter user @thilseycrossing. The villa was created in The Sims 4 My Wedding Stories world of Tartosa is actually a wedding venue but can also be a rental lot!

This lot is currently available on The Sims 4 Gallery to download and why not take a look at the Speed Build from HutchPlays below?

The Sims 4 Rental Houses: Speculation

Since the release of the current roadmap, players have been speculating about what the upcoming expansion could be focused on.

Behind The Sims A FIRST LOOK STUFF PACKS THE LATEST ON PROJECT RENE 4 49 screenshot

Even upon the release of the roadmap back in September, players were discussing the potential that the expansion could have a focus on apartments, owning secondary homes or maybe even more community-based, neighbourly gameplay. Additionally, players spotted more details with the elephant kettle and food items that could well be a hint towards the kind of world we may see.

What do you think some of the new features could be in the new expansion pack? What about the new world, what could it look like? We’re sure many players will have plenty of questions about this rumoured The Sims 4 Rental Houses expansion pack. Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below!

What about the release date and features?

As previously stated, the speculated release date on Instant Gaming is the 8th of December 2023. This will likely be the same across PC, Mac, Xbox and PlayStation. Instant Gaming still has no mention of features.

Can we trust the latest leaks?

We recommend that you take this speculation and listings with a grain of salt. There are a few times when these websites could predict a Sims 4 release in advance. There are examples especially with Instant Gaming when they broke the news about The Sims 4 going free. They were also responsible for the name leaks of Sims 4 Island Living and Cottage Living Expansions. (Tip from @TheBoyXp)

With this information starting to leak out, it’s only a matter of time until The Sims makes an official announcement. Hopefully, it won’t be too much longer now!

You can stay tuned on the latest Sims 4 News to be the first to know if this speculation gets debunked!

Don’t forget to let us know your thoughts on this leak for the upcoming expansion pack in the comments below!

Join The Sims 5 Playtest and Help Shape the Future of Project Rene!

Want to join the next Sims 5 playtest? The Sims 4 has been on the market for almost a decade so it wasn’t surprising when The Sims Team announced “the next generation Sims game” last year. Also known as Project Rene. Also known as The Sims 5. What was surprising was how transparent The Sims Team was with its fanbase about development of the new title, even going so far as to launch an early Sims 5 playtest.

Learn how YOU can be a playtester for The Sims 5 and shape the game’s future!

There have been many updates about the development of Project Rene since then, most of them in the form of segments on the regular Behind The Sims events. Players are more curious than ever about what The Sims 5 will look like and it seems as if The Sims Team wants Simmers to be the ones leading the charge when it comes to the game’s overall direction.

If this sounds like something you want to be a part of, you can apply to be a playtester for Project Rene during the next Sims 5 playtest. Read on to find out how!

The Sims 5 Playtest: Everything You Need to Know

Sims 5 playtest / project rene playtest

While it might sound amazing to have the opportunity to play Project Rene long before the public does, it’s important to remember that not everyone is guaranteed to be selected as a playtester. This shouldn’t come as a surprise, given all the excitement surrounding the latest Project Rene playtest. Everyone is going to want a slice of the pie and there’s only so much pie to go around, so to speak.

Still, the only way to guarantee that you won’t get in on The Sims 5 playtest is if you never try in the first place, so it’s worth getting an application in if you’re interested.

Step 1: Login or Create an EA Account

create an ea account

Make sure you are logged in to your EA account. If you play The Sims 4 on either Origin or the EA App, you already have an EA account so just use those login details to access your account. If you don’t already have an EA account, you can sign up for one at EA.com.

You will need to be logged into your EA account in order to sign up to be a playtester.

Step 2: Access the Playtest Portal

Once you have your EA account set up and you are logged in, visit this page on the official EA website. It’s the playtester agreement page. You will need to read and agree to all of the terms outlined in order to access the Playtest Portal and we do recommend reading all the documents carefully to ensure you know what rules to abide by when playtesting EA’s games. They are linked on the web page but we will also link them here for you to read over.

ea playtesting agreements

Once you have read and checked all the boxes to state that you agree to the terms, you will be granted access to the Playtest Portal! YAY! You’re one step closer to having a shot at joining the next Sims 5 playtest!

ea playtest portal

Click Get Started and answer a few questions about your playtest preferences and contact information. It’s important that you answer all these questions because doing so increases your chances of being selected for a playtest. The more they know about what games you like to play, the better playtest offers they’ll be able to extend to you.

Step 3: Keep Your Eyes Peeled for Project Rene Playtests!

After answering the questions, you’ll now have access to your main profile page where you’ll be able to see news and updates, available playtests to join, and upcoming playtests that you’re involved with.

Look for available playtests

You’re not guaranteed to see Project Rene available to playtest. It all depends on whether The Sims Team has a playtest planned for the game, your playtest preferences, and how many spots are available to fill for The Sims 5 playtest. If you want to make sure you have a shot at becoming a playtester for Project Rene, make sure you keep revisiting this page to see if Project Rene is listed under available playtests.
