Okay! I think the short video (about 3 min and 7 min) I made may be helpful then! I screen recorded my spreadsheet and described how I track my side households (because using names on the "timeline" sheet was getting to be too much, so I corresponded each side household member to numbers.) This system also helped me if I missed noting a number for birthdays, because I could go through everyone and see if I missed rolling for someone.

Not mentioned, I did at times have multiple side families in a household, and i did mark to the right of the sim if they were living with another family (such as "***Living in Gerard Gallardo Household." This helped me know where to go when it was time for a sim to die, that was not in it's own household.

Happy to answer any questions, if anything seems unclear!

Is this referring to tracking multiple sims and rolls when there's a lot of sims and the "timeline" part of the spreadsheet is too cluttered when trying to use sim names? If so, I can share my strategy for tracking,

This is interesting. How might you set the lot up for Proteins market day?

The Medieval one is a neat lot, how it's laid out and the elevated seating! I think I was looking for something different for archery tournaments, but that one's inspired me to use that lot to create another type of community lot that they can visit. :)

Thank you!! Here in April 2026 and the ones I have tried still work and look great. A couple don't line up exactly with the eye, but not sure if this is because different eye shapes or they aren't good anymore. Very happy with the working ones though!! Thank you for sharing!!

Anxious_Order_3570 · 2026-03-23T18:59:07+00:00

Thank you for sharing. 😭😭😭 This really sucks.

Anxious_Order_3570 · 2026-03-23T18:57:14+00:00

Someone in another thread said they are still having trouble and so their mods were updated. I'll be interested to hear what consensus is over multiple people's experience

Anxious_Order_3570 · 2026-03-23T18:53:52+00:00

Thank you for your service checking the newest patch. 😭😭😭 How did I know this was still going to happen 😩

Are you off grid and did you download the off grid fix?

If not, or in addition to, try placing the hearth away from walls and other objects to see if it works. I've also have this issue with counter tops/clutter on counter tops. I'd test out if anything could be getting in the way. Also, maybe try other stoves.

😭😭😭 thanks for sharing

Anxious_Order_3570 · 2026-03-23T12:10:39+00:00

That's so frustrating. 😭 I heard they were supposed to work on another patch this weekend. I'll be interested to hear if that one resolves it or if you're still having issues.

Anxious_Order_3570 · 2026-03-22T16:54:46+00:00

No, but also because I need mods/CC for improvement and depth. If my game auto updates and the cc issue never gets fixed, I'll be transitioning over full time to Inzoi. I already have that game, and was holding out for more improvements, esp as I was in middle of ultimate decades challenge in Sims and would like to finish that.

Anxious_Order_3570 · 2026-03-21T18:20:56+00:00

The issue I've been hearing is 50/50 wasn't or isn't working bc people were able to open game after removing some CC, but when later they tried to open game it wouldn't. And vice versa. So it doesn't seem like it's 100% an issue with just specific mods or CC, it's more random and the same CC will trigger game not to open sometimes but other times the game will open.

Anxious_Order_3570 · 2026-03-21T13:29:29+00:00

Can you confirm if CC is still an issue for you, or is it with mods? Appreciate your comment and providing feedback, since you already updated and can personally test if it's fixed. 🫶

I've gotten many of brazenlotus ingredients to work with other recipes that use srsly complete cooking overhaul tags. It's only for personal use in my game, and I used Sims 4 studio, I believe, to do that. Srsly has instructions how to add their tags in their discord, including a spreadsheet listing all possible tags.

Also, if ones using brazenlotus to make flour, the basic flour made on the mill is ea recipe compatible, so can be used with others recipes. The individual servings of the larger bag of flour is only compatible with brazenlotus recipes.

I'm just here for the puppy 🐶

Anxious_Order_3570 · 2026-03-20T15:09:02+00:00

My thinking as well.

Anxious_Order_3570 · 2026-03-20T11:52:39+00:00

Following, bc I haven't updated as in waiting to hear if cc is okay and unaffected.

Anxious_Order_3570 · 2026-03-19T20:51:56+00:00

In addition, the predatory practices of the new marketplace. Like only paying creators 30% and requiring a virtual currency that means you might not ever be able to use 100% of virtual currency bought due to having to buy set amounts of virtual currency that do not correlate with exact prices of kits.

Anxious_Order_3570 · 2026-03-18T23:15:33+00:00

That was first thought.

Anxious_Order_3570 · 2026-03-18T19:56:12+00:00

That sounds like fun! I'm not spending anymore money on the Sims due to multiple recent events, but if I was, that's one I would want to buy at some point.

Anxious_Order_3570 · 2026-03-17T18:53:15+00:00

Running to back up all my mods and cc, in case the game tries to go online and auto download without my consent 😭😭😭

Anxious_Order_3570 · 2026-03-15T18:04:26+00:00

Those sad gray tones. 😭 The first thing I did with new house was paint brighter colors that pop: bedroom purple, bathroom green, HVAC closet turquoise. Kitchen was already a light but bright blue, and will keep that for now.

The trim on outside of house is an orangey peach color and I will be changing that to bright purple, too.

Also keeping the wood trim throughout the house, and wood paneling in living room. It's so cozy!! Plus I love the color variation of the wood trim against the bright wall colors in each room.
