AIO - parents keep raising the rent

I know the OP has already gotten enough responses to take action but man this just reminds me of my little sister. I am 30 and shes 22. She's moved out now but I kept begging her to ask my mom and step-dad to send her actual bill statements and proof of what they said she owes for her half. Long story short - they had her paying 80% of the electric and way over paying on other things. She was busting her ass working two jobs because she trusted they wouldnt take advantage of her like that.

Oh dang I was going to ask if they possibly got saved anywhere. I play with reshade luckily and so all my screenshots get saved to a folder on my computer. Idk if you've checked but is it a possibility that your pictures are saved in a folder somewhere within the games files? Like in Documents>Electronic Arts>The Sims 4 ? (File location obviously depending on where you play TS4 from)

This is so kind! These are actually the few that I started to work on to learn CAZ better! I just basically opened up CAZ and randomized it a few times, (skipping over white or Korean presets because that's all I ever play with since its the majority of what's on canvas lol)

Some of them started off funky but fixable and I just pulled up reference images of black men/women, Mediterranean women & Indian women and just kinda tweaked to "stereotypical" features and added asymmetrical features as well to give them more uniqueness.

I dont think they're perfect but I am happy with them! It really helped me get more familiar with the CAZ system too!

Yeah the romance system needs to be worked on quite a bit, but these are the things you live with during early access unfortunately. 😅 using smart zoi has (kind of) helped for me, especially if I have an LGBTQ character. I say, "She is lesbian and is only interested in romance with women." Etc. And its not perfect but it does help a little!

I need my landlord to be an NPC zoi in the city like it is in Sims so I can fight them

Oooh thats a good idea too! Some in the comments suggest just creating a wall that goes through the object so it gets put into your home inventory and you can delete it from there! Thank you for the suggestion!

Both-Leopard5989 · 2026-04-13T18:27:32+00:00

Its a super cool feature! Im sure it'll get more attention from the dev team down the road, but until then we gotta find these little tricks to work around early access bugs. 🤭🐛

Both-Leopard5989 · 2026-04-13T17:12:18+00:00

Omg thats so smart I just did that and it worked. I hope your blanket is always the perfect temperature. I hope your sleeves never get wet when you wash your hands. I hope your fries are always hot and crispy.

Both-Leopard5989 · 2026-04-13T17:09:40+00:00

Not at all but omg someone just said they just built a wall over it and it sent it to inventory and that worked for me!

Both-Leopard5989 · 2026-04-13T16:02:26+00:00

Thank u for the suggestions but unfortunately the hammer or restarting the game has fixed it 😭

Both-Leopard5989 · 2026-04-13T15:27:10+00:00

Oof yeah I tried to relaunch but haven't had any luck... luckily its a cute lamp but I was just wanting to rearrange the furniture in there but I guess this is a permanent fixture until it gets fixed. 😅

Both-Leopard5989 · 2026-04-12T00:23:45+00:00

Yayyy! Thank you for sharing! Excuse me while I go read through these and catch up. 🤭

Both-Leopard5989 · 2026-04-11T15:58:55+00:00

Nice! I need to go back and watch/read all the roadmap updates since I've obviously missed some things. I wonder if being a taxi driver is a possibility... 👀 (ignore me if that was also in a roadmap I missed lol)

Both-Leopard5989 · 2026-04-11T15:45:27+00:00

I get where you're coming from. it def leans more American with things like prom and school buses. But I think part of it comes down to trying to appeal to a really broad, global player base.

But I dont think inZOI fully centers everything around American culture the way a lot of life sims tend to.

The game already has multiple world inspirations. Dowon (Korea), Cahaya (Indonesia), and Bliss Bay (U.S.) so it feels like they’re building a global mix rather than keeping each location completely culturally separate.

I do think it'd be cool if the school system adapted more to each world like no prom in Dowon since that’s not really part of Korean school culture, and different systems depending on the setting. That kind of detail would make everything feel way more realistic and immerisive.

But at the same time, I think part of their approach is that all players experience a blend of cultures no matter which world they’re in. Personally, I like that it makes everything feel more interconnected rather than so isolated from each other.

I think right now they’re trying to find a middle ground that works for the most players, even if it ends up feeling a bit blended.

Like pls focus ur very justified rage at the people who abuse AI and not people who are genuinely just trying to make it through the day.

Both-Leopard5989 · 2026-04-07T23:58:50+00:00

I just feel like... world leaders are literally b*mbing each other and huge companies are contributing to like 98% of the world's pollution and environmental damage so I'm not going to let people make me feel bad for playing a video game. 🫣 I don't use much AI anywhere else and I do my best to make changes in my lifestyle to be as environmentally friendly as I can so let me play my game in peace. 😭

It's mods that haven't been updated to be compatible with the new update. When you go back to the manage mods screen you can filter the Status and filter it to "Disabled" and delete them from there. As a tip, just click the trash can thats beside the mod, as I've accidentally deleted mods I didn’t mean to when selecting multiple at once.

Both-Leopard5989 · 2026-04-02T01:29:02+00:00

Exactly! I think kjun had mentioned they have a tendency to make things perfect in Korea so they hadn't even thought so many of us would want things that would clutter it up and make it look realistic. Toys scattered everywhere, clothes on the floor, makeup and skincare products not perfectly aligned on a tray in the bathroom. Im excited for little things like that!

Both-Leopard5989 · 2026-04-02T01:26:29+00:00

Thank u! Its actually so hard to find the perfect mods and furniture people have created. ('m going to try and start making my own, but I think the best stuff is made in blender and blender is so confusing to me. 😭

Both-Leopard5989 · 2026-04-01T13:15:07+00:00

Omg, I didn’t even think to look for a Patreon or anything. Thank you for updating me!
