Hey everyone! I’ve been playing The Sims 4 for about a year now and I'm looking to expand my game. I have a specific multi-generational/independent journey storyline in mind for my teen Sims, and I’m eyeing a few specific Expansion Packs to pull it off.

I’m really interested in High School Years and Discover University so I can fully expand my teen Sims' lives, give them more opportunities, and pair them with some school-related mods. After that, I want to use City Living so they can move out to apartments and experience the whole process of starting their independent adult lives. Seasons is also on my radar purely to add a more realistic, immersive atmosphere to the overall gameplay.

I watched SatchOnSims' YouTube review on the school/uni packs, but since that video is several years old now, I wanted to get some updated perspectives from actual players.

For those of you who own these packs, what do you feel are the biggest advantages and disadvantages of each? I’d love to hear how they integrate into your regular gameplay! Thanks!

The creator stops uploading videos and I’ve seen it so frequently on series that are really good! it’s rare for some of them to end properly! Can anyone tell me why cause it happens to so many good creators?

I know that it's because my mods are breaking/old but I just can't figure out how to fix it. If anyone else knows how it would be helpful

Not even the Bodybuilder career is dependent on muscles.

An example that comes to mind would be sumo wrestling, where fat Sims would be more likely to succeed than lean Sims.

I’m wanting to get a computer to play the sims. Any recommendations

I'm building a grungy, icky house for a pimp and one of his prostitutes, and I've got the top floor down but in the basement, I've only got a man cave and an office. Any ideas are appreciated!

What builds do y'all use to play the Sims? I l've already reviewed the Buyer's guide.

I'm not seeking a list of components. Just curious about what everyone uses. I feel like my laptops always end up mouth breathing. I want something powerful enough to let me play, record and stream at the stream at the same time.

Edit: clarified intentions

I was in my Simself's household, working on solving the Strangerville situation, when my good buddy David Kessler (yes, the protagonist from An American Werewolf in London) called me up and asked me if I wanted to go to his birthday party. I said sure, and had my husband, my sister Morgue, and her wife (Maria Brink of the metal band In This Moment) come with me.

Big mistake. The birthday boy was in full werewolf form and raging, running around his house and howling at people. Maria wouldn't even come into the house. Unfortunately, she's a level one vampire and it was broad daylight, so she burned to death before we could leave.

I rage quit the game at that moment. Actually, I rather abruptly turned off my entire PS4. Then I went back in, loaded up the Kessler household, and did the maxed out fairy roommate trick to Soothe The Beast before his birthday, so that it never happened.

I've already been to the forums and added my "me too" to the official report of this crap. How long is it going to take EA to fix it? Every full moon I go through this.

Im currently playing a Halloween sims save file. This is my Frankenstein Sim and skeleton Sim. They are in a very serious relationship and are expecting a little boy! I love my mods

The Sim I used is my Sim I based on Nico Robin from One Piece.

She also got help from my Sims I based on Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, and Vinsmoke Sanji.

So I previously posted that my super sim had a baby which was a vampire even though she had no vampire lineage however both her parents were dormant wolves. Turns out, somehow, she is both a vampire and a werewolf. She needs blood to drink, and to stay out of the sun. She also transforms into a wolf when her fury gets too high and howls. I only have the ability in CAS to edit her dark form not her werewolf form but she does transform into a werewolf. In the photos you can see she gets both moodlets from being a vampire and a werewolf. Her plumbob is still the vampire one. She has had werewolf labels for different actions since aging up to a child such as wild shower but was unsure if she was actually a vampire or werewolf until she became a teen

I built a messy teenager bedroom

Cozy, colorful and messy!

So my Sim, Veerah, called over Vlad to bone and get some vampire training/spar. I do this every night with a vampire sim of choice. They boned into morning and I had them set to spar after. I didnt notice they went outside to do it and this idiot, Vlad, stayed outside until he charred himself to death in the sun just to train my Sim that he was lowkey in love with. Should I reload or leave him fried? I cant decide..because technically he is evil and he does break in to people's homes to feed on them 😅

This is a sim from '21. 😲🫶🏾

Duchess Alison is meeting with Crown Princess Cordelia's most trusted advisor Baroness Elenor Sherwood for their usual diplomacy. 👑 The two have even been gotten closer thanks to them having helping others and being mentors for others. ❤️ Unexpectedly, Princess Rosa arrives at Duchess Alison's home not after visiting her distant cousin Princess Jade. The classy duchess introduces herself and welcomes the beautiful princess to her home. 💕 Now the three noble ladies are chatting and bonding over tea and sweets. 💖🍰🧁🍪☕💎💖

Ok, So... I know this one is kinda complicated so pay close atention... ok?

I spent the last few days trying to squeeze an entire urban ecosystem into a tiny 20x20 footprint. The concept is an old abandoned factory that got revitalized.

The Layout:

• 1st Floor (Commercial): 4 distinct micro-businesses! A cozy café, a grunge tattoo studio, a bright pottery/botany shop, and a VIP lounge bar.
• 2nd & 3rd Floor (Residential): 4 custom apartments. I designed each loft to match the personality of the shop owners downstairs, including a 2-story luxury penthouse for the owner of the VIP bar.

How to play it despite game limitations: I know the game doesn't officially allow functional businesses AND rentals on the same lot. I recommend playing this by putting 4 Sims in one household, locking their apartment doors to everyone but themselves, and having them run the shops downstairs. Alternatively, you can set it to a 'Residential Rental' if you want to be a landlord, or 'Retail' if you just want to run the businesses!

Also, its important yall know that you can only have the areas for 1 business at a time and only 1 can be open at the same time, so, for you to make it good you'll have to change that every time you want to switch between businesses. (This apply to option 1)

Took the idea from CarynandConnieGaming from Youtube, it was really complicated, using only 1 pack difficults everything.

It is 100% playtested. Let me know what you guys think of the exterior and the concept!

LuHowell was feeling a bit bored, so he decided to check out the Spice Festival from TS4 City Living! 🌶️ He entered the spicy curry eating contest and took first place! 🏆😂 Honestly, he crushed it because he's a huge fan of spicy food. He even got a commemorative T-shirt as a reward!

Hey guys! I've been playing on my forever world for around 2 years, and it's been a very fun way to play, but I'm kinda lost on how to keep going.

Whenever I make a household I either make a really complex backstory or just focus on a pack for gameplay. Either way I get bored very quickly, and it's been a few months since I last came up with a household I enjoy

For whoever plays in a forever world, how do you keep things fresh? Also, how do you handle cc and mods for your save?

It’s been a while so here’s a complete updated tree compared to the previous one.
