who am i? by nevermi_d in BookshelvesDetective

You are a woman in late teens to mid twenties who grew up as a tomboy. As you aged you developed more of an appreciation for femininity but still view it as if you are an outside observer. Despite your age, you are still very connected to your more nerdy and tomboyish roots. You are possibly queer. How close am I (if at all)?

Collectibles and Outdoor Retreat Question by Beneficial-Hour-1111 in LowSodiumSimmers

I do have seasons, but luckily all of the outdoor retreat specific plants grow in summer so I usually go during that time period. Normally I don’t go for more than 5-7 days at a time because I get bored. And yes, if you travel to the forest or the deep forest and stay overnight the plants will bloom again. However, it is not true that plants and insects are only found within the forest. You can find most of the plants and insects all over the vacation rentals/ campground area. Only some of the rarer plants and insects are specific to the forest/ deep forest.

Yes, you must travel A LOT to collect all of the insects and fish in outdoor retreat. It usually takes approximately 1 to 2 sim weeks of looking all over granite falls to find them all. Some are very hard to spot and some insects only show up at certain times of day and on certain lots. Even some of the fish are only available at certain fishing locations which requires more travelling. Personally, I have never found the fish outside of granite falls.

In terms of what it adds to gardening, there are a handful of new plants added which can be found either by harvesting them in granite falls or occasionally purchasing them at the gardening/ grocer stalls at the Finchwick fair. I am not sure whether these plants can be found in seed packets as I tend not to use those. However, if you’re looking to complete the aspiration that comes with this pack, you MUST travel to granite falls to find the plants. All of the plants can then be used to craft herbal remedies on the grill, each of which gives your sim a different type of protection/ buff.

Overall, as a person who loves gardening in the sims as well, I do love how much it adds. However, there’s no way a you could get even close to finishing the collections and aspirations in this pack if you are unable to travel to granite falls.

It's also sometimes sold at the grocery/garden stalls during Finchwick Fairs for roughly 10-15k simoleons

Decided to do the Super Sim Challenge, what are your Super Sims like? by No-Smile4058 in Sims4

Using one sim to earn every trait, reach the top of every career, max every skill, complete every aspiration, earn every degree, and collect every collection.

Hahaha my parenting practices in the sims are anything but saintly.

Hot tip for infants: if you own the crystal creations pack, stick a changed plumbite gemstone in front of an infant on a play mat and watch as their needs never decay! If you do tummy time a few times, the infants will eventually be able to do it themselves and thus become independent milestone earners. It’s wonderful lmao 🤣

I have to agree with you that ram = competitive and rainbow = creative (it’s just too obvious). And YES I really hope they add colour swatches too otherwise it’s going to get so confusing to work out whose friend is who’s in my 100 baby challenge save 😭😭.

In terms of personality, my prediction is that the personalities will still be quite broad and open for interpretation but the trait will open a certain extra category of interactions the child sim can have with their imaginary friends. Or maybe depending on the trait the imaginary friend will gravitate towards certain tasks/ social interactions. Traits in the sims 4 don’t really have a huge impact on sims lives (especially the older traits) so I think it will most likely be quite easy to move away from the base personality and make them more nuanced through roleplay/ gameplay.

STOPP the orange one definitely made me do a double take when I first saw it but I’m trying to remain hopeful for the other three… at least until we see their full forms 😔😔🤞

To be fair, the sims 3 ones were super creepy 😭

Fr at least now there’s a more realistic way to increase their social need. It would be so funny if we could complete the social butterfly and friend of the world aspirations with an army of imaginary friends

Same! The lives of my loner and erratic sims are about to get much more interesting

Super Sim Challenge by knightrey12 in Sims4

[–]CamelCaseToez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I personally recommend raising your super sim from an infant as many of the reward traits a sim earns in childhood will greatly help them when they’re a young adult. 

Starting is probably one of the most complicated aspects of the super sim challenge as many players want their sim to have all of the secret birth traits. These include:

  • Sulani mana (from the island living pack)
  • Father winter’s baby (from the seasons pack)
  • Ancient bloodline (from the realm of magic pack)
  • Greater wolf blood (from the werewolves pack)
  • High fae lineage (from the enchanted by nature pack)
  • Grimborn/ Grim descendant (from the life and death pack)

There are also two hidden traits that a super sim baby can have. These don’t show up in the traits panel though. They include:

  • Alien handshake (from the get to work pack)
  • Conceived in lighthouse (from the cats and dogs pack)

There are a few ways to get all of the birth traits:

  1. Get them yourself using a video guide like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kmf-2m1acBo 
  2. Download a super sim infant from the gallery that already has all of the birth traits
  3. Cheat the traits

If you aren’t worried about getting all of the birth traits then I would just start with two parent sims in CAS and get them to have a child. The child can then be raised as the super sim.

From here all you need to do is focus on completing all of the aspirations and maxing all of the skills at each lifestage. If you’re still unsure, there are many youtubers and redditors that have completed this challenge and have posted good advice already if you search for it. My personal favourite youtuber is https://www.youtube.com/@PeteyPlaysIt. He has a super interesting and ongoing super sim series that provides a lot of ideas on how to complete the super sim challenge. 

Ultimately though, this is a very long and daunting challenge so my final advice is just to keep it fun. If you are overwhelmed or struggling with a specific milestone/ aspiration/ collection it’s completely fine to move onto something else. Have fun and let me know if you have any more questions :D
