When giving a makeover I like to have a reason, like my Sim had a breakup and stopped caring about their looks or they got an f u cool new style depending on personality, or a new corporate job means a new haircut and more mature outfits, they met a cool new friend and are influenced by their style etc.

another tip for family gameplay: when my sim has a toddler the trait is completely random. when they become a child i randomize the trait until it reflects one of the traits of the parents (so a potential of 6 different traits or less depending on if the parents have adult-specific traits). when they become a teen i randomize the trait until they have a trait that is *not* shared with either parent, because this is an age where a lot of people branch off and try to figure themselves out. then when they become an adult i randomize for either a new trait or a shared trait with the parents depending on how close they were. i think this makes the game a little more realistic but also makes it more interesting because you're forced to work with randomized traits

I've always played rotationally and never get bored. I play with my seasons on 14days and play each household for a season. I've set my worlds up with unique features and if my sims want to visit, they have to go on vacation to that world. Sometimes they love the world so much they pack up and move. I try to think like my sims and often let sentiments or their emotions guide my decisions. Even the random phone calls I work into their stories - sometimes they end up being friends with sims I would never have thought of. When the pop-ups happen in game- the ones that tell you the outcome of your choice, I roll a die. My sim gets fired sometimes, or loses job performance. I really try not to focus too much on achievements - like promotions, grades and skills, unless I think my sim would think that important. Sorry for the essay, I love sharing ideas and hearing how other people like to play 😊

Putting the lifetime at "long life" has really helped me woth playing one family for a long time.it helps me bring up my kids in a way that I get to figure out their personality fully and see what they will want to do and be like as an adult. When babies become todlers I randomize the trait and base their whole life off that. Except for homework. I'm obsessive that all my kids do their homework. Idk why. I could never finish my homework as a kid maybe that's why. Trying to make up for it I guess🤷🏻♀️

I completely agree with slowly building up your house, more realistically. Whenever I give my self an awesome house right off the bat, I get bored after the new wears off. Also I'm horrible at making my sim act how they actually would. I'm always keeping their moods perfect, and if I have an evil Sim I end up feeling too bad to make them actually act evil 😝

You hit on this a little bit, but I would like to expand it. Don’t ignore traits and moodlets. I think every body wishes moodlets had a bigger mechanical impact on the game, but that doesn’t mean you have to ignore them. Actively avoid negative moodlets even if they don’t carry consequences. Also if your sim hates children, actively avoid children even if there aren’t really any gameplay consequences. Treat the Sims like a role-playing game. Play a person and make the choices that person would make regardless of gameplay mechanics
@miriamvianello4891 2 роки тому
To make my game more interesting, I started to write down a possible plot for my sims' story, but, instead of deciding everything that's going to happen, I roll a dice to have a random outcome. I tried to play rotationally, but I got bored of it because I used to play two days with each family and I didn't have the time to do anything I wanted. Now, I prepare a plot for each family and play with them until the plot is over, and I'm actually having a lot of fun.

I also take a lot of photos with/of my Sims, even without the Mosccino Pack. Buy a camera where you can make bigger photos, for every Sim in your household one camera or switch one to every inventory after time if you don't have enough Simoleons. They haven't even to pose for this, when (for example) a grandma plays with their toddler grandkid, take a photo of them with another Sim, it will be a great memory. After a time you'll have a great Album of their live 😄📸🎞 Or another thing i did recently: play with divorced parents, and let the kids move every week to the other parent. Maybe they have stepsiblings and they hang out with them in San Myshuno, after a week they go back to their single mom in Brindelton Bay.

@HereIAm247 Рік тому
I like the idea of adding in families and houses from the gallery. However, I sometimes find them incredibly boring. They are often very 'perfect' houses and sims. So I do my own version now - my own npc's, if you will. When I create my own sims, I like to give them at least one physical 'flaw', and one negative character trait. And I try to play their lives true to their traits. I give them multiple outfits as well. This makes it sooo much more interesting. Other times, I just randomise the traits/gender/other thing, and create the sim based on that - you get some pretty fun combinations. I write a little back story for every household. I also build them a house, based on their personality. For example, I am very fond of Monroe, the crazy clockmaker, and his house that is filled with clocks. Or lady green, who is obsessed with collecting frogs, who live in a house that sort of resembles a frog. And who can be without Donny Zest, Johnny's much more rich, successful and handsome rockstar twin brother? (who hates him) What a lot of people liked about the previous games was the craziness and chaos. And yet, many of us fall into the trap of trying to make things perfect, myself included. Why is that?
@aggie9707 2 роки тому
when my sims grow up, i ALWAYS randomize their traits! its fun trying to think of how the traits would piece together to create a unique personality and making decisions through their shoes like you suggested! it makes legacies so much more interesting and realistic. a child might have the nicest most perfect and caring parents ever but still turn out to be an evil criminal haha its so much more fun when you're crossing your fingers hoping for a good trait to roll hahahha!

i absolutely love having routines for my sims, especially with couples and small families. right now i have a couple in my game who have a toddler and the parents wake up around 6 every morning, brush their teeth, and wake up the toddler for breakfast. then they put him in his high chair and feed him breakfast while they eat their own food. it’s super cute. i’ve also been playing with rotational gameplay recently and it’s so fun!

I’d have them make a best friend from someone they meet at school and have them hangout. Plan sleepovers, shopping days, I added a salon, a mall, a movie theatre from the gallery so that they can go to.

I really regret that I didn't get into Sims sooner... this is probably the most fun I've had in a game in a while. I really love how much variety you can do with your gameplay. Like you literally do not have to stick with any rules at all. And your "take it slow" approach is a great idea. The first sim I got married had a severely rushed relationship: they became boyfriends and engaged in the same night and got married two days later, so I barely felt chemistry between them.
@StoryGirl83 2 роки тому
I haven't played a lot of The Sims 4 yet, but with The Sims 2, my favorite thing to do with babies. I loved having toddlers around in the house. Your tip about naming what you sims would name and not what you would name makes me think of two of my families in particular, the Thompsons and the Wilsons. These were the first two families I made in The Sims 2. With the Wilsons all of the children had a name that was also a last name. The first generation to start this were James and Lauren. Obviously their names are not last names (or hers isn't, James can be a last name), but they named their sons Stanley, Ford, and Cooper. Ford and Cooper did not follow this tradition, but Stanley did. His children with wife Jocelyn included Gary (Garrison), Dallas, May, Kendall, Rose, and more. Dallas married into the Thompson family. His wife, Devon, was named after her father, Devon Jr, who was named after his father, Devon Sr, so of course their oldest was named Devon. They also had Daile, Daelily, and Delroy. This was sort of a part of Devon's family's naming as her and her sisters all had D names like their dad, but their brothers got F names like their mother, Felicia. Lots of fun with names and each family feels different because their names do feel like something the parents would pick.

I put myself and my fiance into the game and we have had a small child. Then I realized that my three adult kids would want to know their siblings. I've made an apartment lot and replicated their places there. One of my daughters has an upstairs apartment and the other lives on a ground floor. My son lives in a little backyard cottage. I was able to fit it all plus their pets. Now I've been doing play testing and made some changes for gameplay reasons I realized my daughter and my daughter's roommates need their boyfriends. I am having a blast. I'm going to do rotational gameplay. It's really fun doing things the way they would, giving them jobs they would want etc. I also used cheats to put them where they actually are in life. They are midway through careers and already have relationships with each other. When I started up the lot, my daughter and her best friend immediately started chatting. The pets love their owners but need to get to know the other people etc. I am in the process of tweaking the lot so they have more activities their like a pool and workout area. This is really fun

I tend to completely randomize my sim's traits so the sims figure out their personalities entirely, and then make up a whole backstory for them in my head. As more traits are randomized, I tweak the backstory accordingly. Backstories are what really makes my game fun and I love to add loads of chaos and drama into them. This really helps make my game more fun, and I start planning backstories since they're toddlers. I hope this helped! :D

I had a rotational save to start with (five families living in Newcrest), and I did enjoy that -- my current save is me focusing on two specific families that will eventually blend (it's a polyamorous threesome with the help of Wonderful Whims), but in THAT one, I've been having fun in replacing some of the more horrible Eaxis builds with better lots from the Gallery! Save file "renovation" can be great, especially when you put a little twist on the Gallery creations to make them your own. :)
@Summer_Dobson008 2 роки тому
Personally Legacy gameplay is my favorite type of gameplay, I just love to see my Sim family grow and the generations they carry on. And when I first even started playing the Sims 4 I did the legacy challenge with my Cousin and I (We had our own separate families, in the same household) (and still doing that legacy!) But what I usually to keep the game less dull is by (If you don’t use CC or Mods, like me even though I have a computer.) is by when you first create your Sims add freckles, moles, zits, beauty marks, weird/uniquely shaped teeth, etc. This also helps with helping pick out your personality for your Sim. Give your Sim(s) a negative so they don’t seem so dull Have a goal by each generation to have this much money or this many goals completed Adopt Children/Pets and help them shape out your Sims back story (haven’t got the pet pack yet, but it sure looks fun! :) ) Make up a backstory for your Sims, were they an orphan? Did they run away from home? Were they extremely rich before and now broke? Do they have goals of finding love before a certain age? Did they have a forbidden romance, and they move towns due to the shame?
@TheSarcasticRat1 Рік тому
One thing I’ve found as I make a challenge revolving around the worlds, is that replacing usually expensive lots (like the mansions in Willow creek) with cheaper houses or parks can spice up the game quite a bit! There are parts of Willow creek that I’ve never seen because it’s just too expensive to move in, but when you add a park into the neighborhood? You can head there weekly!

I think it helps to establish who your Sim when you're creating them. Some kind of brief backstory, perhaps. For instance, I made a Sim recently and decided I wanted her to have been raised in a hippie commune. From there, I made her look and personality revolve around that. I named her Sunshine Valley. She named her twin daughters Rainbow and Dandelion. She's very laid-back, interested in Wellness and environmental issues. Thinking about where she came from and who she is helped put the rest into place.

So I guess the point of this comment is to use Sims UKpostsrs to inspire your own gameplay? Pretty obvious, but I only just connected it 🤷🏾♀️

My house started as crap and now It's big and beautiful. I definitely recommend adding drama. Makes things so much fun lmao.

Great video! Thanks! The only problem though with gallery lots is packs. What I mean is here in an example; I found the ultimate mansion in the gallery but they used all the packs to make the house. So those items would not be available to you and your game if you don’t have the pack. BUT there is an option to chose lots with just the packs you have OR uncheck ALL of the packs if you just have base game. Just a little thing I discovered. Also here, be sure that you check the lot size so that you purchase a lot big enough to put it on. Just a few thoughts, thanks again!

I would like to say that this video was refreshing in many was, not least the content was vanilla, i.e. no cc/mods and also you were not dis-respectful to the cc/mods community or to players who use this type of content. As for your ides, well I have used some of them in my game, I sadly have had to stop play with big families as I kept getting confused as to who was related to who and in regards to putting yourself in your sims shoe, well you can do just that with first person view, I think it is shift + tab and then you see the world through your sims eyes and this can make for some very “interesting gameplay”!! with and without mods.

I know it’s one of the best-known challenges, but I can’t stop recommending the Not So Berry challenge! It really re-ignited my love for the game, and I find having goals to hit makes gameplay a lot more exciting and fresh for me. I’m only on gen 5, but I’ve already written 10 more generation rules of my own so I can continue for as long as possible.

Give the sims 1 positive, 1 neutral and 1 negative trait, it's so easy to fall into the normal set of traits and they shouldn't be clones of each other. When I build I make a garage for more than just cars (that we don't have anyway) and they get to "enjoy" a room for cleaning products.

Love this! One of my favourite things is to be an absolute drama starter. Make your sims roommates or partners have conflicting personalities, start chaos with one, try to fix it with another good Sim, love but also break hearts, Build but destroy dollhouses

i use a lot of mods and they can be rly fun and make the gameplay more interesting!! however, i do find they make the game less realistic sometimes. i have a mod where i can change relationships with a click, and just accomplish any aspiration and fill all their needs in. while that can be helpful, it makes the gameplay less fun in the long run. im going to try to use that less! and thank you for your tips
@theminecraftskillz832 2 роки тому
I tend to always do things with them. Like a holiday but also especially with the parents I make sure they sometimes go on dates. And there they just talk and walk around looking at the place. I think it makes it more realistic to let them live rather than going at it fast

@KreeZafi 2 роки тому
Not rushing things is something I'm really working on. I've played Sims since like... 2007 or 2008 maybe? And I quickly grew accustomed to always cheating their needs, like my default playstyle would be maxing out the needs and making them static so I wouldn't have to worry about them and waste time with boring stuff like sleeping and peeing. But a disadvantage of that is that it makes everything SO much faster, it's like you get too many hours in the day to the point where you reach all your goals immediately and the story runs dry. So just in the past few years I've started to play without cheating the needs and it's a good way to slow things down for me (though it does annoy me that I now hardly get anything done because they have such limited free time lol, thank god for the long life span option), and I'm also trying to just pace myself and make things more realistic instead of rushing through every goal. In regards to relationships I like the idea of not meeting the right person immediately, instead you may casually date a few people who it doesn't work out with and maybe even have some relationships that don't last before finding your life partner!

I literally adooore your tips. one other I saw is to create in a new save the family and the others on the same world for rotational, like you did, or use the new gameplay of IA choices (vies de quartier in French, I don't know the name in English). Thank you very much !!

I recently started committing time to build my sims story more. I have a singular sum that I give milestone to, and right now she just got married after being promoted twice and going on 4 successful dates. She lives in a large house, but many rooms are empty because I want her to slowly start furnishing them as she has kids. I’m looking forward to having a legacy house with the entire family on 1 lot, so when she becomes a grandparent, she’ll still live with the family. It’s made the game play a lot more fun because I didn’t start off by giving her everything she might want.

I've made myself a new sim a couple of days ago so I can do a couple of new things, play a legacy where I play with aspirations I've either never finished or never used and to complete different things like go to all the hidden worlds, vacation in the vacation spots etc. I'm enjoying it right now

Something that I did recently is give my Sims more realistic bank account balances. For example, I did a quick search of what the average bank account balance was depending on their age. My Sim was a young adult, and I read that the average bank account balance for people under 35 was between $3,000 and $12,000 (mean = $3,000, medium = $12,000). It made my game very interesting. I actually had to budget and watch my bank account balance. I couldn’t decorate how I wanted. My Sims had to learn how to repair things in the house. I really liked it.
@sophie9984 2 роки тому
Rules I play by are that I try to always learn the traits from different Sims and when my Sim and a stranger have traits in common, they‘re becoming my Sims love interest. And by conflicting traits I often fight a lot with these Sims. Also not being friendly to everyone can spice up your game. And with parenthood I‘m only allowed to skill my toddlers up with an adult. With this system, it is a bit more rare to become the top notch toddler trait. I also randomise the traits for my children, which can often lead to surprises and makes the game more fun. But I‘ll definitely try out your recommendations.

I would also recommend playing with another person, both my sister and I have our own sims 4 game on our own laptops but we realized that it’s so much fun to play together. Back in 2020 during the pandemic we started a new game on my laptop and it is so much fun, we play with the same family, she plays with one kid and I play with one of the siblings and we currently are on the 13th generation and it really is so fun playing with another person, we just take turns controlling our sims so yeah just thought I would throw that idea out there

Do you upload them to the gallery? I wouldn't be surprised if there are people out there who like the Sims but are less creative or just want to jump into gameplay. (Like me!) Even if not a people download it, it can still live on and help other people out! Now when you start over, instead of ditching what you made, think of it as creating content for the gallery!

Something that works well for me is the complete opposite of one of these lmao. I find that playing on shortlife span is really fun. I find if I play with longer lifespans that I end up not doing anything with my sims bc "I can just do it later". I find the lowkey stress of "omg she needs to get married now and have kids and make friends before she dies alone" to push myself with the my sims.

Wonderful ideas, but it does kind of infuriate/amaze me that we literally have to get creative to make this game an enjoyable experience. That really tells you how much of a flop the sims 4 was. I used to play TS2 and TS3 for days and never got bored. So much more dynamic and mysterious of games.

1) I love using photographs. Not the screenshots but the in game photography skill. If I have a sims wedding or childbirth or holiday celebration I usually try my very best to have photos to remember the occasion. If a child grows up or is in scouts etc. I will have photos of each life stage around the house. It helps me remember the story of the family better. Also photos take time and kind of force me to slow down my gameplay without rushing everything. 2) In addition to your 'vacation' part - since this update I placed a vacation lot in every neighbourhood I could and often my Sims are only allowed to travel to other nieghbourhoods by going on vacation there, forcing me to properly explore the neighborhood I'm currently living in better 3) (kind of goes with number 2) I have my families actively impact what community lots will appear in my current neighbourhood. If I have a Sim child/teen who loves Wellness and/or Working Out, but there is no Gym/Spa in their neighbourhood I pretend they are helping to build it, so they have a place to hang out. Start a club for working out when they are young and update the lots accordingly to who is actually living in the nieghbourhood, so their needs can be met.

My favorite thing to do is if I build a new house that house is obviously new and most times in real like you might get rid of some stuff you have when packing so I’ll decorate the rooms sort of empty and very minimal but over time I add so many different objects that fit the sun in their room to make it seem like they’ve actually been living in that room for some time
