Tips for The Sims 4

Okay, so I know the sims 4 probably isn't a very popular game on this site, but for anyone that plays it, how am I supposed to play?

Do I turn aging off or leave it on? How do I make all the characters in my game not be the same generic ones?

I don't know what I'm doing. I like the idea of making my guy get rich and buy a new house and stuff. If aging is on will he die really fast?

Also feel free to share any tips or wisdom you may have

Thanks in advance for any help.

you uninstall it and install 2 or 3

ok now what

Here's a tip: stop playing girl games - they aren't real games and girls aren't real gamers because they can't be, because they're girls.

How do you like that wisdom?

You're welcome.

thanks.

Anyone with other wisdom feel free to share.

bum p

It's the sims my dude. Do what you want.

Remember to use a mirror so you can make your """guy""" into xir proper gender.

You guys really don't like this game.

Be a tomboy female (male) and fuck everything that moves.

fuck all the bitches. then go to another house and fuck all the bitches.``

I love the sims nigga. Sims 2 and 3 I played a shit load. Sims 4 is shit though.

What kinda tips are you looking for?

Solid plan.

Is there a way for me to download a custom made neighborhood? Not necessarily custom buildings, but custom families and people npc's. I'd prefer not to play with the generic Goth family etc.

I don't like how the sims look in 3.

OP
Has an actual dedicated thread for this topic, youre more likely to get help there

Thank you.

Turn aging off man. I mean unless you want to control a few generations of one family. Otherwise just turn that shit off.

Raise cooking quick to at least 4. Make sure youre in the right mood before work and before skill training. Bath with mood modifiers is real good for moodlets. Hire a maid.

Do aspirations to get the points. Use points to buy the permanent boost that makes that particular Sim gain skill points faster. Or dont use boosts for a more standard feel. Too many gets boring. Get at least 1 person to woohoo for quick fun and social.

Anything a TV can do for fun, a PC can do better and it helps with skills. For money without a job: write books and publish them. Paint and sell results. Create programs and get royalties. After a bit its a couple hundo a day and thats enough to live on while you work on skills.

Dont spread yourself out too much. Pick 2 skills max and do those at one time.

Thanks a ton. Is there any way to make more npc's? I'm not too fond of the ones that are already in the game.

if money is a issue just make a couple of painter/writing neckbeards and basically anoint them as your slaves.

put them in your basement, load them up with all the loner/shameless traits and just have them paint/write as their only activity. setting up multiple paint stills or whatever so they can automate multiple paintings.

Redirecting people to generals should be a ban-worthy offense.

>Turn aging off man.

Way to make an already piss-easy game even easier. There's in-game ways of being immortal, which aren't even that hard.

Science career track gives you a cloning machine with which you can endlessly copy serums (for instant full food refill, for example) and valuable crystals/gems for infinite money.

Lol no. You could ask a simple opinion on the game and it would get ignored by all the avatarfags dumping pictures of their sims with no text.

Hello Hardcore sims player. Do the non player sims have kids and get married and stuff like that?

They don't even ERP? What a bunch of lazy fucks.

There's a reason why the general keeps dying. Sometimes a week passes by and you can't find even find a general.

I only play the sims for the incest mods and make it my own little shota fantasy

>Okay, so I know the sims 4 probably isn't a very popular game on this site
It's a good game, everyone including me is just pissed at EA for making Sims 4 incredibly bare bone to Vanilla Sims 3.
Everyone specially loved the Open World even though it tanked performance like a bitch, but most of it could be fixed with mods.

Sims 4 is fun for a couple days as well, I always come back to it when I got nothing to play and I'm bored.

Started playing last week again after downloading the latest version with all DLCs and Expansions.
The Interaction Menu feels bloated as fuck now.

I find it cool that you're allowed to open a shop to sell shit, though...fuck EA for not implementing "STAFF ONLY" doors, had to download a fucking mod to keep everyone away from the little home I build in the back of the shop to evade the damn load times to go home and then to the shop.

>anime moms that don't look like teenage girls
hmmm

Yes

Aging will factor in game difficulty since your sims will gets old and eventually died of old age.
It is up to your choice if you want to turn it on or off, just leave your sims to be immortal if you just want to have some fun.

Not sure about TS4 but in 3 the aging system has slider that let you adjust how fast your sims age.

Are there any Touhou mods for The Sims?

They do, and if you want more people around just plant families into the empty households/lots.

It's a sandbox game, you play it however you want.

For me the default way to play is with aging on, then make a guy and accomplish as much as I can with that guy (money, bitches, children, etc.) before he dies. Then do it again with his offspring. You can get a lot done even with aging on.

But sometimes I turn aging off, play multiple families and essentially fuck around and create a lot of soap opera-like situations.

throw it in the trash and play 2. 4 is utterly devoid of content.

2 has shit gfx, therefore it's unplayable.

At least play 3, the engine may be shit but it's got the best rape mods.

and then you uninstall those and reinstall 4, because you realised that 4 being worse is a meme.

Except there being no content still, years after its release. Stuff packs are complete shit.

They are also jewish as fuck
>each pack only has one new activity item
>$10 each

there is like 3 billion free items all over the internet

Do any of them come with new animations, skills or anything like that? No? Then they don't count as content, just fluff. Which is fine too, don't get me wrong, but without a solid foundation of things to do and achieve, it remains a dead game even if you added a billion new items.

>3 billion free items
Name 9 million (9000000)

Can I pirate the dlcs if I own the game (and some dlcs)?

Create sims and don't put them in any house. just make them part of the world, there was a way to do that. Can't remember how. Just google how to make townies.
NPCs in sims are called townies.
