Canto Bight Heist won't work

wowbabies — Thu, 15 Aug 2024 19:38:16 GMT

Hi, not sure what's going on, have got recruits ready, click to fly (and include them) to Canto, and then the action circle completes but no one has boarded and the mission has not been completed. Anyone know how to fix this?

Did you ever find a solution to this as I am having the same issue. i have enough recruits, click fly to canto with, select them, they all stand there, the circle turns and they just walk away, without anyone boarding the falcon

Hey @fbe063645afd5853,

Just to quickly check, what platform are you trying to buy the game on? The price you're seeing is reflecting the price of the game on the EA app storefront. If you're selecting PlayStation, it's redirecting you to their store, which doesn't have a sale on Sims titles at the moment.

Price difference

I am wanting to buy The Sims™ 4 Growing Together dlc so I seen it at the cheapest price on the ea site, but when I click the Buy Now it takes me to the PlayStation site and the price has now changed higher! £17 to £31!

@chuckiechild What issue are you having? What’s described above is by design - you have to visit the lot first to be able to switch while in live mode.

Re: is it possible to make an event last longer?

@itsgonbelit if it's possible to extend an event you'll see it in the top left hand corner of the screen on the timer/task list. As with active careers.

With prom in the HSY pack my Sims often get asked to attend the after party somewhere, I've found that happens with high friendships with other prom guests. You can use Social Bunny to max friendships if you have any difficulties and it helps with prom goals too. They stay out most of the night at the after party but it's not a goaled event.

The new Lovestruck pack added the option to extend dates in conversation too. That's handy when not all dating goals are completed. Also for the first time, it can be extended when the unplayed Sim asks your Sim if they would like to extend the date. (I don't know if that has been added to non Lovestruck dates though as I have the pack).

Hope this helps!

is it possible to make an event last longer?

itsgonbelit — Wed, 14 Aug 2024 07:37:39 GMT

like the galla in the high school pack, or like a birthday party?

I know I can delete or not attend an event.

And I'm not talking about an event that lasts all day.

But sometimes I feel like I dont have enough time to get through it all, to get gold.

Like, when my sim doesnt do what i want her/him to do, they waste time, and therefore I want to know if I can make it last longer...

Re: Which dining chairs can be put in the sim's/chest's inventory

I think The Gordian Spritz from Outdoor Retreat is portable and can be used as a dining chair. You'll find it in Outdoor Furniture.

@ASTR4LZ_1 Can you reproduce this on a vanilla game? Please test by moving your mods folder to desktop and starting a new save.

Nudity in Cherished Moments photo

ASTR4LZ_1 — Tue, 13 Aug 2024 20:34:53 GMT

So my sim went on a blind date and they swam in her pool. Since it was a good date, she got a reward but in the photo, she is topless. I have custom content and mods on but nothing to enable nudity. I have clothes cc and basic mods like making ceiling lights invisible. So again, no idea how this could've possibly happened. They went skinny dipping but obviously, they were blurred pixels. My sim is female, body and all so it's not like it's a man's chest either. I blurred the attached photo, but you can see what's going on. Is this not a concerning bug??

Which dining chairs can be put in the sim's/chest's inventory

olkui — Tue, 13 Aug 2024 15:41:16 GMT

So I wanted to have portable dining chairs and tables that my household can use if they throw a party and can be put away after that. I've found a portable table. For chairs, I've tried many "foldable" chairs but none of them can be put away. Any ideas on this? Thanks in advance.

@AppleBlossom3 No, it's a better version of the doctor career (in my eyes) :D

@crinrict Ah, that was it. I thought it would do it on its own. So I guess everything is ok. Thanks!

Re: Replacing NPCs with your own Sims?

EgonVM — Tue, 13 Aug 2024 14:01:03 GMT

Ok. I can help here. I made a whole guide on it in The Sims Forums, so yeah, check it out whenever you need. The forum site is read-only, so I'll have to update it in the new EA Forums.

Anyway, with the pizza delivery, remember that if you have ordered a pizza before you made your pizza delivery sim, then that generated sim could still show up instead. You can make them play with the household they're in for one time or delete them.

But let's see the guide I shared...

Ah, here it is!

Pizza Deliverer
These sims come to deliver the pizza your sim ordered.

📝Simply Assign a Career/Trait
✅️ trait_isPizzaDelivery
✅️ career_Adult_NPC_PizzaDelivery
❌️ Ghost
❌️ Father Winter
❌️ Servo

You need to use these cheats on these sims:

traits.equip_trait trait_isPizzaDelivery
careers.add_career career_Adult_NPC_PizzaDelivery

Remember, playing with the sim again will remove their role.

By the looks of it, you only assigned the career. But did you also assign the trait? Beth's Sims guide also lists the NPC traits under the careers you need to add. For that, you'll need this cheat instead:

traits.equip_trait [trait_name_here]

I'm also sure that your sim is not a ghost, servo, or Father Winter. My guide also includes what traits your sim must and mustn't have to appear in the role.

In addition, there are location-based careers (bartender for example) for which I suggest not making sims from scratch, but instead edit the existing sim that has been generated for the role. This is as location-based career need a certain lot for the sim to work on and the usual cheats here assign no location.

But yeah, in short, this is the routine I do when I make my NPC sims:

Create them (also look in my guide from time to time which traits, age, or occult status you're going to be needing).
Move them into a lot.
Add the traits and skills I want.
Add the necessary NPC traits and careers.
Exit to Manage Worlds, make them unplayed, and evict them from the lot.

There is one main way to make gravestones: have sims die.

It doesn't have to be your sims. It can be random sims you find in the world for example. You can check the Manage Households section to find a method.

And to cause it, well, there are many ways. Fire, starvation, drowning, old age etc. Putting them in a room or pool and walling it off so they can't escape it. Or getting a playful moodlet and drinking the Potion of Happiness from the Rewards Store. There are ways (jeez, that felt wrong to write...).

With bb.showhiddenobjects cheat though, you can find gravestones in build mode, but I don't know if that works as intended or not. Having a sim die is a safer way.

@AppleBlossom3 When you click on the pet WHILE it's on the table, do you not have interactions you can do ? You need to pick things to do for the progress bar to advance.
