RIP, CmarNYC

I’m very sad to report that Sims 3 and 4 creator CmarNYC passed away in October 2023. For 15 years, Simmers benefited from Cmar’s long-honed computing skills as she created much-loved modders’ and players’ tools, including the Sims 3 and 4 MorphMakers and Skininators, the TS4 SimRipper, the Sims 3 XCAS core mod, and many CAS sliders. She was also a contributor to S4PE, which likely was used by creators you rely on. Without Cmar’s work, the Sims franchise would have had a much less rich array of mods and custom content. She will be greatly missed.

As well as Sims, Cmar loved cats, and donations are suggested to the ASPCA, the TinyKittens Society, or an animal-related charity near you.

The Sims 4 Growing Together Expansion Pack

Strengthen family bonds, make friends or enemies, and discover your Sims’ truest selves with The Sims™ 4 Growing Together Expansion Pack*! The ways your Sims relate to those around them – from family members to Sims they’ve just met – are evolving. Both planned events like sleepovers and unexpected milestones like having a midlife crisis will shape your Sims and their relationships.

A LASTING IMPACT Key choices and milestones will help to shape who your Sims are. Unlock and change personality traits throughout your Sims’ lives as they cope with midlife crises, respond to family requests to move in, and more. Self-discovery is a lifelong journey.

FAMILY TIES The bonds between your related Sims are important and complex. As they experience life together there will be opportunities for both drama and unity that will affect family dynamics and Sims’ relationships with their family members.

SOCIAL DYNAMICS Sometimes Sims just click. Your Sim might have natural social chemistry with a Sim they meet at a party – or they might naturally clash. Your Sim will now have preferences that determine which Sims they are socially compatible with, and which Sims are more likely to become their enemies.

PERFECT FOR FAMILIES Located along an ocean bay, San Sequoia was once a small fishing village and has grown into a bustling town. It features quiet suburbs, a lively rec center, a tight-knit community, and even an influential local family – the Robleses.

The Sims 4 Growing Together is available on March 16th, 2023, on all platforms!

* REQUIRES THE SIMS 4 (SOLD SEPARATELY) AND ALL GAME UPDATES. SEE MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PACK.

Another huge 'leak' for the new Lovestruck EP (I'm sure they stage these leaks since everyone involved in EA stuff has to sign a NDA. Even the gurus whine all the time that they can't reveal anything because they don't want to lose their job if they do)

Yeah, back to topic! I like everything in the pic above 💖 A bearskin to pose on! Have you noticed the suitcase? And the painting will be Noxee's favourite, I'm sure ;3

Screenshots and info are from -> here

And we can finally, finally cuddle in bed! In the heart shaped bed at that!

So the dating app is only for young adults and older, but the Boys wouldn't use it anyway. Let's just hope the rest is also for teenagers. The cute axolotl plushy in the background!

We can also feed our partner 🍫

We also seem to get some kind of eyelashes ^^' I think when we turn the saturation a bit down they could look good?

And we get board games! The cute new neon signs 🐣

Ah and the town! They said Ciudad Enamorada comes with 3 neighborhoods and 13 lots (there are also two penthouses) and I love that it's another city world 💒 probably located in South America, yay!

So I'm cautiously excited hahaha but even with all the new exciting informations I still think it's very thin for an expansion.

Я схожу с ума, как это красиво, и наконец-то можно сделать готическую детскую комнату (разработчики, дайте русалочку люльку наконец, сколько лет прошло уже)

Good morning and happy Patch Day. 🌞😄

Yesterday's news are interesting.

To be honest, I don't know how to assess everything. I think EA is really trying.

I can't imagine anything among the Creator Sets and have to see them first when they are available. At the moment I can't say if I need this in my game, since I don't use CC or mods.

That's why I just let myself be surprised.

All in all, sounds promising.

[bloom-berry]

Hii guys! I made a new video covering everything that leaked today about the sims 4 expansion pack: Lovestruck! I actually changed my mind throughout the video and am very excited about this expansion pack now!!!

I would love to know you guys opinion about it! Are you looking forward to it??

[rainmustfallts4]

Grim is coming to us, guys!

Patch 1.101

Hi guys! I just wanted to make a quick note to say all my mods have survived yesterday's update.

Keto Cookbook & Cooking Scrolls

The pie menu for both cookbooks is working as usual but I will try to add the new categories and see how customisable they can be. I might need to do some small changes to the recipes for any new tags but this is not something urgent since they are working perfectly fine in their current state now. My thought process is that they might need some extra new tags to be able to be sold on the upcoming sales table with the new pack, but I will see this once the pack is released.

Functional objects

All objects work fine at first testing, so they are safe to be used.

If you notice anything weird, don't hesitate to contact me here and  I'll take a look for you. Just remember other mods can sometimes cause conflicts and weird behaviour even if they are not related to food so just make sure all your mods are up to date.

BUCKINGSIMSHIRE, Windenburg (SNN) - - Queen Katherine attended the ribbon cutting to unveil renovations made at Lara-Leigh Memorial. It is a monument to Queen Lara-Leigh, located at the end of The Mall.

The memorial was damaged by PETA protesters during the "Million Ranchers March" on 7 November 2016, which took place in greater Easton focused on Old Platz Plaza and outside Buckingsim Palace.

During the following year's protests, the memorial was guarded by police officers.

The Mall began as part of the tended grounds of Buckingsim Palace in the 1860s. It was envisioned as a major national ceremonial route in the early 20th century, matching the creation of similar ceremonial routes in other cities such as Mt. Komorebi and Willow Creek.  As part of this development, a new façade was constructed for Buckingsim Palace to face down the Mall.

King Edward II suggested that a joint Parliamentary committee be formed to develop plans for a Memorial to his mother, Queen Lara-Leigh, following her death in 1961.

A number of sites were suggested and the decision was announced to locate the memorial outside Buckingsim Palace and slightly shorten The Mall.

Once the site was selected, the committee selected its primary choice for the construction and took it to the King for approval. Brock Speedy was chosen as the designer.

The Mall stretches a quarter mile and ends on the eastern end, at Memorial Arch.

During Trooping the Colors and other big National events, the Mall is used with Memorial Arch and the Lara-Leigh Memorial as central focuses. The annual Easton Marathon also finishes down The Mall.

Every sovereign, since Edward I, has enjoyed waving to the many on-lookers who line the mall for a glimpse as they pass. Spectators have even been known to climb the Lara Memorial to witness the royal family step out on the balcony of Buckingsim Palace.

Queen Katherine looked chic in red, wearing the Duchess of Brindleton Bay Pearl Brooch.

At the top of the central pylon stands a gilded bronze statue of Lara-Leigh, Queen Mother.

Speedy described the symbolism of the memorial, saying that it was devoted to the "qualities which made our Queen so great and so much beloved." He added that the statue of the Queen Mother was placed to face towards the city to represent her "great love for her people."

Following in her great-grandmothers footsteps, Queen Katherine has a great love for the people. Her Majesty was seen receiving flowers from a young schoolgirl.

The Easton Fountain was used to supply water to the town in the 1800s. King Edward II had it refurbished and erected in Easton Park in 1937. The park closed in 2021 and Queen Katherine moved the fountain in front of the memorial during these latest renovations.

Beneath the Lara-Leigh statue, on the eastern and western sides of the memorial, are two lions, representing Peace.

Opposite these, statues of a relaxed Queen Isabella (facing The Mall) and Albert I (facing Buckingsim Palace) depicted with his descendants. These were created from solid blocks of marble.

Amongst the renovations, were the extension of the sidewalk and the addition of balusters.

The palace hopes the renovations will make the memorial easier to visit, while not impeding traffic. The Mall will maintain its current schedule; closed to traffic on Saturdays, Sundays, public holidays and on ceremonial occasions.

We expect the memorial to be very crowded during Her Majesty's coronation as millions of sims around the world will be watching.

Patch Day, with a new CAS category

Medical devices! Didn't see that coming, but it's very cool!

I've got a new Broken/Updated Mods & CC thread on the Forums. If you're a creator with mods or CC that you've cleared as fine, updated, or know are broken, please let me know!

[mdpthatsme]

Two announcements today. I'm going to ignore the movie news because I honestly have the lowest of low expectations for it.

Project Rene scrapped? Unclear.

They've decided to restore the Sims 4 foundation, Project Olympus, to its original purpose, a multi-player MMO chat room whatever.

The excuse of "we don't want to end 10 years worth of TS4" is total BS and only wants to invoke sentimentality of players as if us older players haven't lived through 4 iterations of the game.

What they really mean is they found out how much money it will cost to run Sims 4 servers and Sims 5 servers and don't want to pay for it. Because the-totally-doesn't-need-the-internet-to-play TS4 shutting down and not giving access to players would have major backlash. Over $1000 for a game you can't play? People would be furious.

So they are sticking with the shaky foundation of TS4 as their generational game with all the horrible brokenness that console players can't get around, that modders have tried to fix, and that they themselves ignore and sweep under the rug because some people are holding onto hope they'll eventually fix it. Meanwhile, they'll distract everyone with new shiny DLCs, that will continue to have no real impact or consequences on gameplay and bring in creators to collaborate with in showmanship that they're "for the players."

TS4 will have multi-player. Big whoop. Majority of players aren't interested as they have said through countless polls and surveys.

TS4 doesn't have:

Open world

The ability to create your own world

Color wheel for all options

Cars

Robbers, real plant sims, zombies

Memories

Consequences

Astrology

Real personalities

And many other things that I don't feel like typing on a phone, but you can add yourself.

Point is, TS4's foundation is very limited. They won't be able to update the real things players want because it's just not possible with Olympus.

But hey, grim reaper expansion pack that will intrigue people for a few weeks before it releases with a ton of bugs that will continue to crumble the foundation and create more issues for the devs to slap a bandaid on.

But that's all I have to say about that.

Sims Qualities

🤗 This brings a set of supplementary traits picked as CAS preferences.

"Sims Qualities" works like the Sims 2 personality, which is split into 5 scopes: activeness, cleanliness, niceness, outgoingness, and playfulness.

You can now readily make your Sims differ in personality in addition to the CAS traits your Sims have.

Five Sections of Sims Qualities Activeness: Motivated/ Sluggish Cleanliness: Tidy/ Sloppy Niceness: Nice/ Grouchy Outgoingness: Talkative/ Withdrawn Playfulness: Jokey/ Solemn

Available for all ages; but can only be picked and changed for Child+ age in CAS

Each scope has a decent impact on all aspects: autonomy, emotions, socials, skills, needs, character values, and wants (whims).

I made the buffs maxis-match which the buffs would be less dramatic than my custom CAS traits from 100 Base-Game Traits Pack.

Base game compatible. No other requirement!

Compatible with any other mods.

Beware of recently introduced bugs!

The latest game update and the new Crystal Creations stuff pack introduced some new nasty bugs to The Sims 4 and we can expect a patch as soon as the team has figured out how to fix the most game breaking ones.

Until the patch is released it's recommended to be really careful playing with the Crystal Creation pack since putting on and taking off crafted jewelry will deform your sims appearence and it's unclear if already deformed sims will be fixed when the patch arrives.

It might also be safest to stay away from your more precious save files altogether until the patch arrives since the moodlet issue possibly can cause longlasting issues in your save files. If you want to read more about this there's a thread here at the AHQ-forum.

*sigh* It's a never ending bug fest at this point isn't it?

Lovestruck Expansion Pack Leak!

Release: July 25th /Preorder: June 27th 2024

New romantic interactions! Finally cuddling in bed! Oh my! Ah, I hope this is all for teenagers too.

And it looks like we finally get the Heartshaped Bed back!

The name of the world: Ciudad Enamorada (sounds as if it's really in Spain or Middle/South America! And: it has three neighborhoods!)

And did you notice the neck tattoo?

Found -> here on youtube

In the pic below you see the early buyer bonusses. The bed, the makeup and the cushions. A bit meh imo. And all in all it is a little thin again for an expansion pack, even so that we don't get a lot in this roadmap. Two kits and an EP for four months...
