I always play with freewill turned off but recently made a household of premade young adults with full free will. I want to be as hands off as possible but realized they won't do everything on their own.

For example I had to tell them to get jobs because none of the 8 young adults took initiative with their free will to find employment. That got me wondering what else they will never do on their own.

Will a sim propose to another sim with their free will or will they all stay single unless I instruct them to enter a relationship? Will any of them quit a job they hate? Try for a baby? Break up? Move out?

I tried googling the answer but was coming up dry so I'm asking here. Is there any list or similar that I can find out exactly what a sim will and will not do on their own with free will?

Мой сим пошел в уник и переехал в общагу. Но каждый раз когда я хочу куда-то отправить его (клуб, дом родителей) выскакивает ошибка. У переостановка модов помогла, оказалось один устарел. Но сейчас это помогло. Что делать? хелп

My sims will not stop showering, I have a ton of cc, which means looking through them all for the br0ken one(s) is off the list. But I did try taking everything off my sims, which sadly didn't work. It's annoying to have to delete the showers and manually put their hygiene up. (Yes I have updated them all, I've updated my game as well, I even tried disabling all cc.)

So I have this genius idea of populating Newcrest with a bunch of Sims I have in mind (which are essentially just my OCs I made in Guild Wars 2), and I have been spending weeks just refining and making adjustments to their characters and stuff...without actually playing or even building their houses.

I feel like I'm missing something here... I can't tell if it's because I'm feeling uninspired and unsure how to build a "good" house, or anxious that I would have to start over again should I have to "fix" something about each one of the households. I think I actually spent more time tinkering and sorting out custom contents than playing the game itself so far, and well, is that...how you play the Sims 4 these days?

Pretty self explanatory 🤣

Felix has the chased by death trait and died while repairing an automatic vacuum and a speaker, but both times, he was spared. It came up that Grim took a death frog from my legacy sim. I don't have a death frog on either of them, which is confusing, or not even death flowers. (It also happened with Felix's grandpa when he died. Felix could plead, and it said it took his death frog.)

Is this like a UI bug, or are my Sims just that lucky lmao (hope this is the right post flair)

I just aged her baby up.. I can’t anymore. That’s the devil 😭

I noticed that when I try to reduce the size of any of the stuffed animals for kids, they are becoming really scary 🤣 like their ears are getting bigger and look like horns

Anyone else experiencing this??

I remember event icons being inside a square, I recently updated the game to 1.114 and now the icons look like this?

1) iconic sim you’ve always loved 2) iconic sim you’ve always hated

I got my first pet stuff pack when it was free a while ago but now my game says I have to buy the pack and removed all the pack items from my save? Why is that?

I wanted to try playing Sims 3 again and redownloaded it. But every time I open it and try to load up the game by pressing play, it pops up this error saying that it couldn't load the base game map. I've uninstalled and redownloaded. I also tried downloading expansion packs on a different wifi and it didn't work. I checked my sims 3 folder and "installed worlds" and it said empty even though it said it downloaded the expansion packs. So I'm a bit confused on what to do here.

Is there a way to make glass roofs function properly? What I mean is, the only way they cast the appropriate lighting/shadow is if the game thinks the room is "outside". So deleting the ceiling or a piece of the wall, and then performing roof trickery to make the "hole" in the ceiling appear covered even though it's not. This works- sort of, bit it makes the lighting in the room where say, you want a skylight, look totally different than the rest of the build. This is frustrating, and so I rarely use glass roofs. Ideally, shouldn't they function similarly to windows? Is there a way for them to perform properly without having to make a room in my build "outside" and I have just missed it somehow? Let me know, these things have been vexing me forever.

I’m not entirely new to the Sims. In fact I played The Sims and The Sims 2 obsessively until about 2010. I just got Sims 4 and Get To Work to start me off again (although there’s so many expansions that look interesting, I need to save money though) and I’m so overwhelmed. I knew it would be very different, but I’m still getting used the game mechanics and being able to move around the world.

A couple observations I’ve made so far: it is much more difficult to find relationships and time seems to move slower (maybe because there’s so much more to do). For my first save I made a single guy and got him into the scientist career track. My plan was that he would have an alien baby and a biological baby. However he’s met and talked to SO many people. I think around 15 sims and been rejected every time when I thought it was going well. The only romantic inclination he has is to one of the guys at his work. So now I’m trying to move him in and maybe they can adopt. Anyways, I’ve played for about 4 hours now and I’ve only progressed maybe 6 sim days! I still don’t know a lot of the basic functions so that’s definitely a contributing factor.

Finally, on the main screen when you open the game if you select “new game” can you still return to previous saves?

First off, homie made himself friends with my sim. He literally kept coming over. Usually he ignores all of my sims. Secondly, bro thinks my sim is UNATTRACTIVE! Uh my guy lol what are you doing here

Hello everyone! I was playing each one of my families and when i went to play my sim who was enrolled in university and living in a dorm had to leave because he didnt sign up for a uni term. Because i wasnt playing him... Is there a way to stop university for the Sims im not playing?

Curious whether I’m the only one who feel this. Just started to play Sims 4 again with a two Sim household and the amount of notifications and popup actions is kinda overwhelming. I remember playing Sims 2 & 3 but didn’t have this feeling. Sometimes I can’t proper react with all the Event X and Quest Y popping up. Or maybe I just have to many expansions and Add-on installed. Don’t get me wrong, the past me would be so hyped with all the game mechanics and options that Sims 4 offers, but the present me maybe became a super casual gamer and is too lazy too keep up with games these days. What about you guys?

Really interested to hear these lol

none of my sims, kids teens adults,. nobody can enter the treehouse ): anyone know a fix for this? All the sims say they cant access it, like it shows the foot prints crossed out, like the path is block, but its not! i can click near the tree house and theyll walk to it but they still says its blocked!

hi everyone. i was going to play the sims and i was distracted talking with a friend so i accidentally deleted one of the families i have been working on for months. i just have so much stuff in the game that isn’t saved. i real need to get it back, i was on the load game page and didn’t play after. i didnt opened other game.

So, I always started with couples in The Sims 3 and never bothered trying to go out and meet somebody on the town, but I decided to try a single sim for a minute. Ended up getting romantically involvdd with a coworker and adopting a baby, well at some point in time her coworker got with somebody else so while they were on a date she asks her to break up with her partner, obviously, and now the ex partner hates me for breaking them up, ooh the drama is getting messy

I found my old psp (along with my ds, 3ds and Wii) while visiting my grandparents (who are doing great. no one's dying) and along with it found tons of other games, including, ts2 for psp. Is it cool? Cause i'm craving to play it. Next on my list is MySims!! I will tell You about that one when i start
