The Kids are alright aka Childhood Aspirations in The Sims 4

Hey 👋

I hope you all had a good time since the last post.

In this week's post I want to talk about Childhood Aspirations in The Sims 4.

In The Sims 4 you have Aspirations instead of lifetime wishes. And those Aspirations can be fulfilled from Children to Elderly Sims. But for now I want to focus on the Childhood Aspirations. Because as the name says it those are only for Children. Right now there are 4 Childhood Aspiration categories available. Creativity, Mental, Motor and Social. All of them with 3 instead of 4 milestones.

The Creativity one has the Artistic Prodigy Aspiration. Which means that the Sim Child wants to become a little Artist and master the Creative Skill to level 10. The Creative Skill will turn into The Painting Skill once the Child has aged up into a teen. When your has mastered the the creativity They can already learn instruments. Because in the last milestone of it the kid has to practice violin 5 hours. So you better protect your ears. As Reward Trait for completing the Aspiration your Sim will get the Creatively Gifted Trait. Which allows your Sims to gain Creative Skills like Painting, Guitar, Violin etc a bit faster than usual.

The Mental Childhood Aspiration is called Whiz Kid. In this Aspiration your Kid has to master the Mental Skill which will later be the Logic Skill. As in the Creative Aspiration once your kid has completed the Aspiration they will get The Mentally Gifted reward. Like in the Artistic Prodigy Aspiration your Sim Kid has to craft 3 emotional potions. Let them experiment with the Science Table but be careful though because it might happen that your little Scientists will set your house on fire while using it. You should place it outside of your house just to make sure that your family is safe. At level 10 of Mental Skill your Sims can learn the logic Skill for Example.

Up next is The Motor Aspiration called Rambunctious Scamp. In This Aspiration it is all about mastering the Motor Skill which will later be the Fitness Skill for example. Once your Sim has completed the Aspiration they earn the Physically Gifted reward Trait.

The Trait gives your Sim a little boost when it comes to leveling up Skills like the Fitness Skill.

The Final one of the Childhood Aspirations is the Social Aspiration called Social Butterfly. To complete this Aspiration your Kid has to master the Social Skill which will later be the Charisma Skill. At Level 10 of the Social Skill Your Sim is able to start leveling the Charisma Skill. Your Kid has to make 5 friends during the Aspiration too. As Reward Trait for completing the Aspiration your Sim will earn the Socially Gifted reward Trait. This Trait will boost your Charisma Skill for example later.

As usual here are My "Last Words" about Childhood Aspirations.

The Childhood Aspirations are fun to play with but since the Sims 4 has launched we didn't get new ones. Which is a little bit disappointing because they become too repetitive once you've tried all of them.

And this wraps up this weeks post about Childhood Aspirations. I hope you enjoyed it. If you do like the post please like it share it and reblog it.

As always I'll post next week until then happy simming and remember to always keep Simming

My Wishlist for The Sims 4 in 2020

Hey everyone, Happy belated new year. Today I want to tell you all about my predictions for The Sims 4 in 2020.

With the Arts and Crafts Stuff Pack on the way and the Gallery (finally) coming to consoles I think that we as console Simmers will have a great year in 2020. The last pack which we need to close the gap between PCs and Consoles. This Pack is...

But what comes after it?

Here is my Wishlist

I would like to see a Gameplay Pack similar to Dine Out just with Resorts and Hotels. And Hobby themed Gameplay Pack

For Expansion Packs I would like to see a Generation Themed Expansion and Farming Expansion.

And what about Stuff Packs?

I really would like to see a Teen Stuff Pack similar to the Kids Room Stuff Pack. And last but not least a Bed Room Stuff Stuff it could include for example Bunk Beds and Murphy Beds the name could be My First Bed Stuff 😂😂😂 (that pun was intended)

Also I really hope that we'll get more traits. And a free baby update because aren't objects.

And this wraps up the first post of the year 2020.

Let me know what your predictions or What is on your Wishlist

Wishes/Wants or Whims a.k.a What a Sim really wants

Hello everyone, as the title of the post already tells you this week I want to talk about Wants/Wishes and whims in the Sims.

What are Wants/Wishes?

Let's start with Wants, as on PC Wants where introduced in The Sims 2 on Console. Like in The Sims 4 wants are basically the same as whims. Both of them are mostly defined by a Sims personality, traits, skills and relationships The only difference between wants and whims is that with wants also came fears which had a negative impact on your Sim. In The Sims 2 The Sims 2 pets each Sim had different wants that you could fulfill to help their Sims live a happy life. As a reward for fulfilling a want the Sim earned Aspiration Points. Those Aspiration points worked like a kind of currency. Because some items were only available once your Sim had reached a specific amount of aspiration points. Once the want was fulfilled it got re-rolled by a new one. So basically the same mechanic as in later Sims games. If you fulfilled a fear by accident or on purpose your Sim lost a specific amount of aspiration points.

Here you can see an example of the wants and fears panel from The Sims 2

Let's move on to The Sims 3/ The Sims 3 pets.

In The Sims 3 wants were replaced by wishes. Like I mentioned before the concept of re-rolling a fulfilled want/fear stayed the same. But instead of Aspiration points your Sim gained Lifetime happiness points which allowed you to buy traits like Steelbladder. (This Trait lowers the decay of the Sims bladder motive. So the Sim don't have to use the toilet as much as other Sims.) Instead of Fears the Sim would get negative a moodlet whenever something bad would happen to them. This would cause that the Sim isn't absolutely happy. However if you did not liked a wish he could easily cancel it and let a new re-rolled pop up. In Sims 2 this wasn't possible therefore you could call the Sims psychologist to re-roll all wants and fears.

Here you can see the Wish panel

And lastly The Sims 4

The Sims 4 has Whims instead of Wants and wishes. In The Sims 4 every Sim has 3 Whim Slots. For each fulfilled Whim the Sim gains satisfaction Points which allow you to buy potions and traits from the reward store. Whims are mostly the same as wants and wishes with one exception and this exception is called emotion. As you may or may not know in The Sims 4 we got introduced to the Emotion System. And those emotions have also an impact on your Sims Whims.

Here's an example of the whims panel

To wrap up this weeks post I will give you my personal opinion on what I would like to see in the next Sims Game.

I personally would like to see the Wants and Fears coming back to The Sims. Simply because they don't feel as repetitive as the whims. Also the Wants have a bigger variety So I personally think that Wants and Fears are more fitting than Wishes and Whims.

As always I'll post the link to the sources I've used down below.

I hope you enjoyed the Post. If you did please like it, reblog it or comment on it and let me know your opinion.

Until then I hope you will have a great week and remember to always keep Simming

I'm back from a very long break and here's why

Hello everyone, I know it has been quite a while since I last posted something. The reason behind it is because of mental health issues and real life for example a full time job you name it. Now I am in a much better place in my life and I know now how to handle things differently.

Also I wasn't really sure in which direction I wanted the blog to go you could call creative frustration in a sense since I'm really not really decisive. And I struggled with that a lot plus I had a long break from the Sims 4 recently.

So I hope you can all understand the long hiatus when it comes to the blog.

So here is what I have planned for the blog.

Of course I will keep reviewing Sims content, but I also want to give you a guys the chance to join me on my journey of creating a save file which makes the Sims 4 more fun to play with since the game will be free for everyone from October 18th 2022.

So you guys can decide what kind of content you want in your game.

So I say let's hit the big red button and call it a restart shall we

Trendy toddlers aka Toddler Stuff Pack Review

Hey everyone 👋I hope you all are doing well. Like I said in my last post today is the day I want to share my thoughts on The Sims 4 Toddler Stuff with you. The 12th Stuff pack of the Sims 4 was released on August 24thAs 2017 on PC. On console it was released on May 22nd 2018. As I mentioned before the main focus of the pack is create a Sim or short cas.

In cas mode there are 1 hairstyle for boys and 3 for girls. That's pretty unfair towards the boys if you ask me but you can remove the gender specific filter of course 😅

There are also 6 tops for girls and 4 for boys.

There are 2 jump suites for both genders

Also in the Pack included are 3 bottoms

And last but not least both genders got 2 pairs of shoes

The Pack included also: 3 styled rooms, 6 usable items, 2 rugs, 4 stumps (I know stumps what the) and 1 new social event called play date.

Nice description isn't it? Incase you wonder "Hmm why does these words sound so familiar to me?" Well it's a reference to the Black Eyed Peas Song "My Humps".

In my opinion...

Cas is the best from the pack.

And this wraps up this weeks post about my Toddler Stuff Review. If you have any thoughts about it let me know. I hope you enjoyed it until next week and remember to always keep Simming

Play with Karma with The Sims 3 pt. 1

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a great week. Today I want to talk about The Sims 3 on consoles. More specifically The Sims 3 on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. Because it was also released on wii consoles. So without further or do let's get straight to it.

The Sims 3 was released on October 26th 2010 for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.

The Sims 3 takes place in Sunlight Bay. Which is the Console version of Sunset Valley. But what makes The Sims 3 on consoles so special?

Cosmic catastrophes with Karma

For the first time in The Sims franchise you were able to play with Karma.

What means Karma in the Sims 3?

For every wish your Sim fulfilled they earned Karma-points. The limit of Karma-points was 100. There were 2 versions of karma good and bad. There was the "instant beauty" Karma which was categorized as good karma it allowed you to go to create a Sim and give a Sim a makeover. On the other side there was the earthquake karma which caused an earthquake which would cause all objects in the house of the Sim to break. Once you have used karma depending on which side you've chosen either some good or bad bad things would happen randomly. And it had impact on your Sims live as well. Besides Karma you could "upgrade" Sunlight Bay. Which means once your Sim reached level 10 of a career the building were the Sim has worked would be upgraded. For example if your Sim was in the athlete career they would work in a arena once level 10 was reached the arena turned into a gigantic stadium.

And this wraps up part 1 of my review of The Sims 3. Next week there will be part 2 of it so be sure to check it out. As always the source section is down below

Until then have a great week and remember to always keep Simming.

Social groups in the Sims 4 aka Clubs and Organizations in direct comparison

Hey guys, I hope you all had an amazing Christmas.

Today I want to talk about Clubs and Organizations and how they work in The Sims 4. Let's start with the Clubs first. Clubs were introduced with the third expansion Pack Get together.

With Clubs your Sims have the opportunity to make new friends. They also can gain Skills from it. You can also create your own Club. And add some requirements and rules to the club. If your Sim does certain interactions which are allowed in the Club, you earn Club points. Club points can benefit every Sim who's a member of the club. For example if your Sim is a club leader you can purchase boosts which will help your Sims gain Skills faster. If your Sim is "only" a club member they also can convince the club leader to step down from their role if they have a high level friendship with them. Clubs don't have levels like Organizations

Now that you know how the club system works. Let's see how Organizations work.

With The Sims 4 Discover University Student Organizations were reintroduced. Unlike in the Sims 3 there are no groups like Nerds Jocks etc. Now those groups are called Organizations. Both of the 2 universities have 3 Organizations. There is also a Secret Society as 7th organization but that is a secret so don't tell anyone 🤫🤫🤫

In those organizations you have to fulfill different tasks to rank up your Sims level within the organization. Once your Sims have reached the highest level within the organization they unlock different perks for their later lives for example if your Sim has joined the secret society and has reached the top level the Sim will earn promotions faster than usual.

If your Sim is for example a student of the University of Britechester he/she still can join the organizations of Foxbury like for example The Bot Servants.

Helpful Hint: If you are playing a Legacy I highly recommend to use the Leader of the Pack aspiration once your Sim has completed the Aspiration they earn more Club points.

And this wraps up this weeks post.

I hope you enjoyed the post. If you did, like it and reblog it or leave a comment.

As always you can find all of the pictures I have used in the Source Section.

I hope to see you all with the next post next week until then happy simming and remember to always keep Simming

How to be a Parent in The Sims 4 with The Sims 4 Parenthood

Welcome to a brand new post. Today I want to give you a my personal review of The Sims 4 Parenthood.

Parenthood came out on consoles on June 19th 2018. Parenthood is the fifth game pack of the Sims 4. It is similar to The Sims 3 Generations but not as in depth because Generations was an expansion pack.

Parenthood is such an amazing game pack when you are a "realistic" Simmer. It comes also with a new Skill which is the Parenting Skill. It's only available for young adults. However as a parent you can "shape" the personality of your children. Because they get Character Values with Parenthood. To increase those your kids can i.e. Do their homework which increases the responsibility.

How many Character Values does a Sim have?

There are 5

Toddlers already can work on the character values. It's also possible that the kids will ask their parents for advice. This results in a chance card. The outcome of it depends on the Parenting level of the Sim who is asked for advice. Once your children max out the character values. They are in range to earn a new trait. Whether it's positive or negative depends on the character values. The kids get those special traits with aging up into a young adult. Besides the gameplay being amazing the build buy items are also worth mentioning. Here's a little overview of them.

Pro Tip: buy your kids toys that will help them work on their character values. Those toys are: the doctor play set, a journal, school projects and ear buds. The cas section of the pack is in my opinion ok. Here is an overview of it:
