>NOTICES & REMINDERS:
Next week's Submissions is here.




Please click here to report any comments that break our rules or the Dreamwidth TOS.

There was one unposted secret this week, it is a broken link.

Also, the post numbers for submission posts and secrets posts going back a month or so were wrong. I think. So then I fixed them. But then they were DEFINITELY wrong. And then I fixed them again. And they still weren't right. Anyway long story short I don't know if they were ever really messed up in the first place, but I think they are finally correct; if not let me know and I'll fix them again.

1) It isn't just seasons. It annoys me that anytime I want to play with a premade that was created earlier in the series I have to spend hours updating them for current packs.
2) I don't know how you guys have played Sims 4 this long. It is a buggy mess. I'm playing with a randomized Sim I found the game had moved into the lovestruck neighborhood. He had to apply twice to get into university because the first time, the process glitched and even though he was accepted the first time, he never got the option to continue and choose his university. He also has a cat that I only now realized wasn't spayed. I had him take her to the vet to be spayed, he had to cancel the first attempt because it was never ending. The second time it succeeded. The cat supposedly had a cone on but it was invisible. It was raining (as always) and he went out to work, when he got back for some reason he suddenly couldn't get back into his home. FFS!!!! I reset him, he slid on a mud puddle on the way in but he got in. There is also an issue when I break up with romantic partners, they turn into stalkers. This has happened with multiple Sims, not just him. My game also isn't very woke, a couple of times when Sims turn up that look they are trans, my game crashes. BTW I actually don't play that much, usually half an hour 3 or 4 times a week. If the game was better I'd play more.

how many packs do you have approximately? it sounds like an endless nightmare just to do one thing😵

it's easy to sink hours into it if you're playing with older packs and i refuse to buy new ones because of all those bugs i saw🤦‍♂️

I pirate the game and except for kits I have nearly everything in my game up to the Grim reaper expansion pack. It turned out to be a big mistake. Sims 4 is nothing but a buggy bloatware now. Previously I had a habit of updating my game playing for a bit and then leaving Sims 4 to rot on my hard drive. I'm now revising a list of packs I actually want in the game.

Some of the stuff I've been testing wasn't planned. I started testing Strangerville because a Sim rolled it as a life aspiration/bucket list thingy to find out what it was all about. It turned out once she opened the door to the science labs basement, it satisfied that want, but that annoyed me, we started doing this because the game set it up so she wanted it to, so she was seeing it to the end (or so I thought). I got to the point to test the antidote out and not one Sim is now walking around weird, so I gave up. It actually was a good thing because I previously liked Strangerville but playing it properly just bored me and I realized there wasn't much to the town.

What I don't play with I'll google and just decide by content description. Maybe the odd pack will remain because of cas or bb content I use.

you should let go of some packs tbf especially the newer packs, they're not really worth the bugs and you can just get bgc mesh edits of the CAS items you want on the internet

i did play pirated with plenty of addons a few years ago and it was more bothersome because not only it was buggy they'd clash against each other, townies were too randomized and at some point all my sims stopped doing what i tasked them to and there would be random sims dying of cold outside my house in the winter

Up until recently, I haven't had too many problems when playing, but for the last couple of weeks it has felt like one glitch after another. Nothing major, but just lots of little problems. It is getting annoying. I am not using mods atm because every time I get them all updated EA releases another patch, but I think it's time to start hunting some fix mods.

Also I once had a glitch with a Sim who wouldn't walk into the house and it was the most irritating thing. Her other household members were fine but she would not enter. It was so weird/annoying and I finally decided she could just stay outside and die.

dude just delete the door and repurchase

I did. I exited and reloaded, I replaced the door, I put the door in a different spot, I added a second door, I used a different door. None of it worked. I removed a tile of the wall and she was able to walk in, but when I replaced the tile and put a door back, she could go out but once again wouldn't walk in. It was ridiculous.

have you tried resetting her or switchint households? i usually just reset my sims when they stop functioning
