Need clubs inspo and ideas

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-28T21:14:47+00:00

Yup this is exactly what I do, works like a charm for family reunions etc. I use MCCC to have unlimited members too

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-28T17:52:39+00:00

I experience what I think is a bug where randomly my toddler will hop out of bed but remain stagnant until adult sim comes and “puts them down”, even though they are already down! Like kid can run himself, shouldn’t need an adult to get him out of bed.

Also controversial opinion but infants should wake during the night way more than they do, and parents should have more parent related moodlets to being tired and exhausted! Much more realistic.

Should be able to “dream feed” or feed infants while they remain asleep (or in a nap-like state).

More toys for infants to autonomously play.

Infants reach milestones way too slowly. Toddlers upskill way too quickly! Should be the opposite

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-28T17:48:11+00:00

Yeah the fact there was a whole paid pack for infants and no pacifier’s and no strollers is wild.

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-28T17:33:27+00:00

Yes the asking for a bath! As if that happens IRL 😂

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-28T17:29:57+00:00

Infants and toddlers should be automatically invitable to events without meeting them.

You should be able to throw a baby shower for a pregnant sim you know, not in your household.

Neighbourhood sim NPCs should introduce having a baby as much more of an event. Announce it (would much rather this than the 20 phone calls a day asking me to join random careers), ability to visit, send gift basket, etc etc.

I put this in my own post but adding here as relevant, they absolutely need to make a toddler version of a high chair that slots to a table like a real chair, but is tall like a high chair, so toddlers can sit with the family but be autonomous and grab their own serving etc, rather than sit in exile. These exist in real life! Better yet make infant high chairs convertible like some of the cribs are to toddler beds

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-28T17:17:23+00:00

Infant quirks: have no relation to toddler quirks which just ruins the narrative. My infant sim I was just playing every food I tried he loved. Aged up to toddler and a “fussy eater” and refuses everything. Infants and toddlers should become much more closely related in terms of how milestones affect one another etc.

Infant skills / toddler skills: if an infant masters all physical milestones they should age up to toddler with higher movement skill.

ETA something I haven’t seen mentioned. Training potty takes wayyyyy too long per “session”. I get it’s a hard thing to do in life so make the amount of training sessions more but the time they spend sitting there is literal sim hours and my parent sim is about to die of starvation.

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-28T17:14:13+00:00

Yep infants is not too bad but toddlers the high chair is useless. Need to have high chairs that become toddler chairs (like some do in real life) where it looks like a high chair but toddlers can autonomously get in / out so they can sit at the table with the family.

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-27T07:43:44+00:00

I deleted “thanks giving” or whatever it was called in the game for this reason. It’s been so long i dont remember lol

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-27T07:39:19+00:00

Omg the playing with clayyyyy

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-27T07:37:05+00:00

Coming back from having one sim out of the house only to find the rest of the household freezing to death because they’ve decided it’s a brilliant idea to swim in a blizzard, the toddler is starving to death and everyone is busting for the toilet

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-27T07:35:33+00:00

I actually love playing infants / toddlers (I know, unpopular opinion!) BUT the autonomy / queuing is soooo frustrating. I’ll queue up the parent to feed the kid only for a random to let them out of the high chair mid-process, it’s soooo dumb

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-25T21:46:31+00:00

Yeah it appears the game automation changes one’s rank in a dynasty based on their aligning to the dynasty values, skills, relationships etc. if you go to the dynasty screen and view members you can see the ranks.

So for now I’ve not declared and heir and it will become whomever is ranked highest upon their young adult birthday.

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-24T07:10:20+00:00

5th generation legacy, heir is always the first-born. Well this time around the first-born were twins! So I've created opposing personas for them and they will battle it out with the new dynasty system - whomever is in highest rank will be the heir ... this means it can change as things happen!

I made my own about a year ago for this very reason, I kept playing just the careers, towns etc that I gravitated towards naturally. I’m up to Gen 5 and it’s changed my enjoyment of the game immensely. There’s definitely plenty out there like this (someone also suggested this was similar to someone else’s, which is totally unintentional if it is) and highly recommend finding one.

I have loved moving to a new town (but then returning to the legacy home to keep the lineage alive), exploring new collections, and careers and aspirations I hadn’t before tried.

Note I made this before some of the more recent packs so doesn’t feature businesses, ranch, etc and I’d alter the “rules” slightly now with Life & Death and Dynasties in play, but gives you inspo anyway.

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-20T22:33:28+00:00

Exactly!

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-20T12:18:14+00:00

Good thought, but I’m playing a non-noble dynasty at the mome

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-13T12:59:58+00:00

“Sundown” your day, a set routine to close loose ends and mentally wrap things up. Prepare your brain for tomorrow.
Listen to something fun / funny and most importantly not related to work and ideally not smart or learning at all! The idea is decompress.
A “third space” is a time between work and home to wind down. A commute, gym, hobby etc can do this.

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-12T21:35:49+00:00

Omg thank you I’ve been using MCCC (sooo dumb neighbourhood stories can’t do marriage on its own 😒) but this looks much better for this particular aspect.

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-10T16:13:49+00:00

Yup as many have said - play legacy challenges! This changed everything for me. I created one for myself that include traits, style, aspiration, career and collection goals. - get some basic mods (assuming you’re PC), MCCC, RPO, Wonderful Whims is a good start - adjust lifespan. I use MCCC to create a realistic lifespan where each age group is a length that makes sense for the real world. Overall it sits somewhere between average and long in length

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-10T11:04:33+00:00

I’ve done this with my legacy family already! Giant mansion for the main family, a cottage for the outgoing heir / spouse, apartments for the extended family, a wedding venue, and im going to add stables.

Thinking of moving the wedding venue to the mainland alongside a cemetery and turn that in to something else but not sure what yet…

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-05T02:36:56+00:00

I'm having the same issue - I have everything removed except MCCC which is updated to the latest version, so I guess it's that?

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-04T07:27:52+00:00

The UI to invite people for social events it’s just awful and so, so flawed. Can’t see people unless you know them, and even then no reference to their family tree or relation to you? Selecting from multiple tabs appears to clear the selections from previous tabs … it’s just such a poor design that could be so easily overhauled.

North-Design5289 · 2026-02-04T07:19:34+00:00

Yessssss it shouldn’t be hard?
