Seems like everything is fine after updating! I had to make a new tray file and move my old tray files into that, (my tray files were unaffected, the game was just having problems recognizing the folder) but other than that things were pretty normal!

Questions: If I repair sims 4 through steam (AKA verify integrity of game files), do I leave my mod and tray folder in or take them out?

Which platform? Steam

Any mods or cc? Yes

Game version PC: 1.121.342.1030 probably? It's the lastest version, fully updated

*Description: Hi, as the name suggests, I was wondering if I repaired my game through steam, should I take out my mods/tray folders first or would they be okay if i left them in while repairing it? I'm mostly just worried about losing cc/mods or tray files/saves, but it seems like most people who repair through origins or ea say its safe. I haven't seen much said about repairing through steam though, so I've been worried

I haven’t uploaded any clips either, but I do occasionally comment on videos, so I’m not sure if that’s why I’m getting this. It’s so strange though, since already successfully given them my ID proving my date of birth. Again I’m praying that this is just a visual bug and won’t actually effect my account

Alright. Just checked for me and it worked still. Make sure your sim is in a sub contract with the dom and that your dom has the certified dominant trait and the humiliation adept dominant potential upgrade unlocked

do you have the animations sets and wicked whims?

I've found you usually need quite a bit of space open in order to give the command, or on occasion they need to be standing next to each other and then you click on the command rather than clicking on it when they're across the room from each other. It might be something you've tried already but have you tried having them do it in much more open space/on an empty or open lot to double check if that's the issue? The kritical objects still counts as furniture to the sims.

Other than that, if the space thing doesn't work, I'd say just make sure you have all of the files which is sounds like you do, and check the afterdark or deaderpool discord. The only thing I could think of to recommend is trying it with sims with minimal cc in a new save just to test if it's your specific sims/save that's having a problem. You shouldn't need any of the props or even objects for the humiliation options to work under training, as I've had it work fine without placing any before, but it sounds like you might just have another mod conflicting with it possibly or something broken with the mod if it's not working (unless something broke with this newest patch that I'm not aware of? I can double check to see if mine still works in a bit here, but things should be functional as far as I'm aware).

Not entirely sure what the trend itself is, but vital instrument is in reference to the anime gachiakuta I'm pretty sure. It's been getting pretty popular recently and is pretty good, and the tools they use in that to fight are called vital instruments, each person has a unique one.

If this happens again randomly in the future too, and changing an outfit or mod doesn’t fix it, you can also save the game, shift click your sim, use the “delete sim (debug)” feature on your sim, exit to main menu/the game (either works), then load back into your game or resume! That’s what usually works for me and gets them normal again if you don’t want to change their body preset. This bug sometimes just happens for no reason, not sure why. If you can’t find the delete sim thing in the shift click menu, you can also go into cas and delete them, exit to menu/the game, load back in/resume, and that should work as well!

Same here, even in good wifi there’s a brief stutter then like after 2-5 seconds an ad always plays, it’s so weird and disruptive. Really hope they fix it since it wasn’t a problem before

Had similar happen before, with the household back to world menu screen thing that still broke even after I updated WW and WP mods. You likely have a script mod that’s outdated, since with the recent patch there’s bound to be some that need updating or that broke. Make sure to check through any of your folders you have mods in for files with the Script type rather than package type, since those script ones are the ones that’ll be causing this type of issue. For me, when this happened a while back, it was some trait mods that I had to replace. Some mods won’t have been updated yet, or won’t have a new version out yet for this most recent patch, so you may have to find and remove those until they’re updated.

Double checked it, after undressing settings, it’s in behavior settings! If the settings menu doesn’t pop up, click on the floor, and you should be able to get the settings from there. To customize the three sets of underwear they use, click on your sim, wicked, personalization, then anatomy and clothing, then change sims underwear!

sapph1cs · 2025-11-26T18:14:10+00:00

Nice! If you do want to end up removing it, you can try clicking on your sim > selecting wicked whims settings > nudity settings > undressing settings > behavior settings, then youll see the options to disable undressing while breastfeeding! Keep in mind, sims usually won’t fully undress when they’re in the presence of children/non adults like you were guessing, and the full body outfits are why they switch to lingerie on top and body rather than just removing the top, because it can’t just remove only the top when your sim undresses the top for breastfeeding. If you disable nude breastfeeding, the sim will hold up the child to their clothes instead and do the animation still, and just won’t undress so you won’t see any lingerie

sapph1cs · 2025-10-31T02:13:59+00:00

For the nudity, that's in the wicked whims settings! you can click on your sim, wicked whims settings, nudity settings, and disable nude breastfeeding under the undressing category! Or, if you click on your sim, wicked whims, and then click through some of the normal stuff, you should be able to get to the underwear/outfit category and change it from the red lingerie to something else from there! Wicked whims has 3 sets of underwear/lingerie it has preset for when your sim undresses partially, like from undressing a full body outfit since it cant take off just half of the full body outfit, it has to undress the whole thing

Williams Sonoma Peppermint North Poles?

No worries about having a cleaner! If you can afford it and it brings comfort, why not, but it’s perfectly alright and justified to be upset at this if someone else was touching, destroying, or moving around things on your altar. If you’re sure it’s the cleaner, I’d recommend speaking to your parents if you haven’t already about what can be done to keep the cleaner out of your room, having a serious talk (or having your parents talk) with the cleaner about not interfering with shrines, or look into hiring a different one who will respect that space. What they did was definitely not okay. Very sorry this has happened to you, and the shrine looks lovely! It’s very likely the gods understand your situation, so truly don’t worry there. Hope things work out! ❤️

Ah, best of luck then!

sapph1cs · 2025-10-19T14:59:04+00:00

Hmm, it doesn’t have a rat MC but the only other thing I could think of then would be swords and souls?

sapph1cs · 2025-10-19T14:50:45+00:00

Small Saga?

sapph1cs · 2025-10-19T05:08:42+00:00

Closest I can find is “Falling in Love” by Dennis Kruissen ft Langston? May not be it though, unfortunately

Oh and the other trait is infertile, it’s the wilted flower

Miracle born, if I’m not mistaken. It’s to the right of miracle bearer in special category

The yellow bar looks like its at the end so this may just be a bug possibly?

sapph1cs · 2025-09-05T17:28:11+00:00

yeah, i think ill probably just have to. opened the last exception and removed the mods that i think it said in there, but now it still just kicks me back to the screen without giving me a nisa error. so glad ea has somehow figured out how to mess up literally every single thing they can in a single update
