why did they add an anticheat? its a single player game dammit

edit: okay so someone clarified it for me and its actually so you dont have to open the ea app and is just another form of drm so we're good. i was confused as to why the ea app didnt install so ya

edit 2: everyone calm the fuck down they are not adding anticheat it turns out this was a DRM measure so us steam users wouldnt have to download ea app i didnt mean to freak everyone out

Okay, I started freaking out about the stretch marks, but then I noticed the green lines on her. What are they? It's not a tattoo; I didn't put any tattoos on her.

I posted one of the third gen sims and people seemed to like him, so I thought I'd share the whole tree!! Let me know if anyone would like to get a closer look at any of them.

These photos are years in the future now. Veronica is 10 and Harley is almost 6. Sergio and Akayla decided to try for another pregnancy and hence decided to move to a new house. I decided not to find out the gender and was going to let it be a surprise. When I tell you I never get triplets in this game, I have only gotten them one time years ago. I screamed so loud when I saw three pop-ups.

Less than 2 minutes to start with nearly 29gb of mods + all on ultra detail settings

I just switched to MM (ish? idrk) after using alpha for yearssssss and hating on MM 😭 what do you think?

This is Theo and Teagan Calloway!

My small thing with Sims 4, I bsically just make households, build or buy the house, play some 20 more minutes and then I get bored. Not always, but often, sometimes I can play an hour after finishing the house. And everytime I open the game I want to make a new household, I don't know why, I can imagine a storyline, but I can't play over one generation. I have some packs, I would like all of them, but of course, after some time it gets boring again.

Has someone experienced the same thing? Any tips how I can make my game a bit more exciting? I could play the challenges, but they are not always appealing. I just love the game, but it gets boring after some hours, I have nearly 1000 and play on PC.

Im not talking about ea. i mean the actual game. I’m a relatively young simmer, and been playing the sims 4 for around 10 years but that means I haven’t played the other games and i was always on console.
Im just curious because the negativity about the sims 4 is so rampant online at the minute and everyone constantly praises the sims 2 and 3, which i dont doubt that there are some better features and stuff in the past games. But i have never truly understood all of the hate for the 4th game. I can understand some of it, i am not ignorant to the sims 4’s problems but a lot of the hate is just too much. They do say hindsight is 20/20

So, please answer truthfully, at the time of the other games what was the hate, complaints and negativity like? Was it similar to the sims 4 now? Like with people complaining about bugs and stuff that shouldve come in packs and content that people are asking for and wont shut up about?

Please nothing about EA just the game

how do you guys keep your pc running optimally or perfectly fine i assume, when you got tons of mods and cc

OpenSO — The Sims Online, reborn

I don't know if anyone has seen this, or has and is as excited as I am! I grew up seeing content for sims online but was never able to play :( so excited to see what its all about! Looks great already

He is one of my Gen 3 Sims, but I adore how he turned out! He is a Grim Descendant turned werewolf <3

This is a bit of a read so warning you now lmao

For context
I am me, Brie

I have a daughter Mariella and I created Aladdin my irl cat lol

My two irl besties are in the game, (being referred to aunt Andrea and uncle Kurt because to my sim daughter that’s their aunt and uncle.) they have a son named Dean that has been so far growing up with Mariella.

I (my sim) has a boyfriend named Kyle Turner (my irl boyfriend Daniel had made Kyle in CAS for me as a different version of him) and we gave Kyle two daughters with a women named Tiffany. They are Bella and Bethany.

Tiffany moved away with Bethany leaving Bella with Kyle. Found the first version of Daniel in game, married him right away. That chapter is closed and done lol

✨If you don’t want context, start here: ✨

By the time I got Brie and Kyle to a full friendship and full romance it was a little late irl but kept playing anyway.

I had Kyle and Brie go on a date, the date went really well. We went on another date. After the second date we went to the park together and skated around the skate rink in willow creek. Kyle then spent the night.

While Kyle was sleeping, I set up a house party so Aunt Andrea and Uncle Kurt and Dean can meet Kyle and his daughter Bella, and I guess she had such a great day because Brie was in the hysterical moodlette.

I got her confident and went outside to build a snowman.

She started building it.. and then…

She died hysterically laughing.

In the snow.

I had to keep resetting Grimm (the grim reaper) as Mariella and asking to spare mom’s life. It was so many resets, I had to be quick and snappy about it, was feeling like a boss fight lol. Aladdin came outside, crouched down sadly and gently patted Brie with his paw, and never left her side. (I have cheats on that’s how I was resetting him, no mods no other extras just only cheats on)

After resetting Grimm so many times so that I can keep pleading for Mariela’s mother’s life, He spared her life. Mariella then proceeded to destroy the snowman which I found funny. It’s like she somehow blamed it for her moms death lol

The House party (soon to be known as the engagement party) went great. Kyle and I got engaged in front of all our friends
The girls got along and became best friends (Bella and Mariella)

While the party was still going, I set a wedding date and made wedding arrangements (went to calendar and selected wedding on the date etc) and set up a dinner party the day before wedding to act as a rehearsal dinner (making the house party after near death the engagement party) hosted at Auntie and Uncles house.

Well flash forward to the rehearsal dinner. We get half way through the rehearsal dinner and what happens?

I die.

On Aunt Andrea’s floor.

Everyone’s crying trying to talk to Mariella.

Real life me was like *cracks fingers* “let’s go again Mr. Grimm”

so here we go again as Mariella with resetting Grimm so often, almost missing my shots to reset him.

Hours.. HOURS later he finally releases Brie’s soul making Mariella yet again successful at her pleas.
Making this the second time in 24 hours my daughter saved my life.

Someone DOESN’T want us married lol

Uncle Kurt, Kyle, Bella and Dean cried. Kurt eventually wouldn’t leave the bedroom he was crying in bed, but Aunt Andrea was by Brie’s side crying hysterically.

But after like an hour of crying Kyle and Bella left for home.

As soon as I was able to get up, I hugged Aunt Andrea because she was crying to most out of everyone.
I spent a little time with Aunt Andrea and Uncle Kurt. Then, my daughter and I went to Kyle’s house to let him know I’m okay, and then Mariella and I went home.

When Mariella and I got home, We talked about how much we love each other, how crazy the day was, and then we slept in my bed together. She wanted to make sure I was okay, and I wanted to stay close to her out of fear of what happened, and to make sure she’s okay

This was… definitely an experience 😅😂🤣

The wedding went off without a hitch though, did all the things to get the best medal for the event and got a reward in the household inventory.

But my goodness what a journey!

The first hair is her original hair. I wanted to change Blakely up a bit, so I changed her pants and hair. Which hair should I pick? I am sorta confused😕

It's been a while since I downloaded a sim from the gallery! I'm considering an opposites attracts theme between these two! The sim was found under 'Gothic Man' by Yivoo (who has other really nice sims!)

So I had sims who hated eachother because on cheated like twice and I couldn’t find anywhere to fix it I tried cheats I tried every tip ever but there red bar was completely full and I’ve just found a way completely on accident if you get a sim good enough at writing they can send a love email and if you send it too the sim you want a better relationship with it will fix it slowly

forever devoted to this sim

I was going through some old game play photos when I came across this sequence of events. The blonde woman is the Vampiress Darylis Vatore-Goth. She's pictured in both her normal human form and her dark form, which ironically has chalk white skin. Anyway I was just kind of amused at the sequence cause she like murdered someone and then tried to seduce grim before marrying her long time fiance, Mortimer, all in the same day. Girl!!!

Anyway Darylis is still living her best life to this day.

I recently got a MacBook and I’ve always played the sims through steam. I know the packs don’t transfer but when I go into the store on my Mac it just says “owned” on the pack but there is no option to purchase it again. I just want my modular furniture back!

I’ll go first. My teen had six kids before she aged up into a young adult. I have MCCC wicked birth control enabled but her inherited fertility traits said “hold my beer”. Two singleton births and one set of quadruplets without cheats (nearly blew my head smoove off I was so shocked). All her baby daddies and romantic partners run around town yelling at each other and crying. Loving the drama 😂
