#I'm in a two-sim household and one of them can't click to interact with the other

I come back to the sims 4 after nearly a year of not playing only to discover the most recent patch has left it unplayable 👍 you love to see it

[theageofsims]

Ya girl is sad and mad… and in a bit of shock, but I said I didn't want to talk about about Andre, but of course I was going to have to talk about Andre.

LISTEN TO ME… why did it HAVE to be ANDRE…?????!!!!!!!

I literally just posted about not being able to wait to see him go full-on gray and the game TOOK THE MAN FROM ME.

You don't understand. He hasn't been the only one. There has been Sims that have come into my legacy and have been such good, helpful Sims. Andre was not the first one and he won't be the last, BUT LISTEN TO ME… Andre was the only one with a LEGIT JOB AND he had a passion for Archaeology.

And not just some job… he was a COLLEGE PROFESSOR and he loved ARCHAEOLOGY… HE WAS BASICALLY INDIANA JONES WITH BLUE EYES AND A DAMN TAN, WHAT IN THE FUCK!!!!!

The pain in my heart… I wept.

Let try and focus here. I specifically built the 6 bed rental in Tomarang for Sulani and Andre and their 6 children. I literally just adopted their two sons (I always wanted them to have two sons, I even had the names Chester and Kevin picked out for them before they even had their what turned out to be twin daughters) -- but I knew that Sulani was pushing into her elder years (he was much younger than Sulani) and I didn't want to have her have children under a certain age (for long) by the time she got there.

And with their funds (which is a TON), from his findings as well as the many books she had written since she was still in college, I figured they would be the perfect ones to adopt two children and raise them along with their other four.

So that's what literally happened. I had them adopt the boys then I spent a day and a half trying to have google help me build a home that would fit in the world of Tomarang.

I have never brought any of my legacy members on an actual vacation. Sometimes I'll send them to Selvadorada if there's a reason, but that's been literally it.

When they arrived it was rainy/stormy for a few days and I booked them for 7 days, but had this idea that I'd have them travel to Selvadorada for a whole week after that JUST BECAUSE.

I had no idea there's this 'cave' or whatever in Tomarang and so when I discovered it and Sulani along with some of the kids and Andre were in the water, I clicked on him to swim over to go explore it because he's like Indiana fucking Jones. And that's when the game alerted me "Andre is drowning!"

There was no way to save that man. Sulani was literally RIGHT next to him and I tried to see if she could interact with Grim, but you just can't -- maybe it can only be done on land? I don't know, but man… what a damn SHOCK it was to me.

I sent them all back home after that, I mean what else was I going to do?

Andre's ghost lives with them because since the beginning of my legacy, if there is a child within the household of someone who has passed, they are able to see their spirit. Like an actual kid. Once they age into teen years, the ghost is released/the person gets properly put to rest.

Sulani and Andre got a bunch of kids so I'm assuming he will be here for awhile as a Ghost, but that doesn't make it any better.

I feel so… I just feel. I really do just feel.

Anyway, let me post some photos of Andre's info and life. I feel like he brought so much to my legacy because of what Sulani went through in her life so I'll mention that here as well.

So Andre appeared in Oasis Springs as a college professor as Britechester. It was literally right after Sulani's first boyfriend died from a house fire… in her Oasis Springs home. They immediately started dating and then they moved to Britechester where she finished college (at Foxubury so there wouldn't be any conflict of interest sort of stuff or whatever it's called, but not that she had him as a teacher or anything ).

They lived there until she graduated and then they moved to Chestnut Ridge.

Andre already had a guitar when she met him or at least he had a high guitar skill. He also had a passion for painting then, too.

I had him quit his job somewhere around her 7th or so book because I knew that they would have beyond enough money to work from home. Andre also wrote a few books, but not as many as Sulani (who is still writing them). I also figured he would be working on those relics they send to the house for him to use at his archaeology table.

There's not much to say about Andre beyond that. Sulani met him when they were both young adults and he passed away as an adult, but I feel like he was in my legacy FOREVER… just because I loved him so much.

I mean, I loved him so much for Sulani, you know? Her mother was turned into a vampire and then vanished. Her father had passed away in his older age (from a broken heart). Her first boyfriend burned to death in a fire AT HER HOUSE. Her older half-sister who raised her passed away as soon as she literally finished college.

She lost her first dog, Indiana, who she adopted from Selvadorada…

And now her damn husband, the only man she ever truly loved and had FOUR children with and adopted TWO children with fucking DROWNS.

I really thought she was going to have the ultimate happy ending after all this bad shit in her life, but NOPE. The game said fuck you! Well fuck you too, motherfucker!!!!

Dawn Of The Simfected Set-Up

(2)

Meet Charles, a nightshift dock worker, a loner that likes to curl up with a good book and avoid social interactions. When the neighbours start to get a bit bitey, Charles manages to avoid becoming a Sim-burger and finds himself in charge of a small group trying to make it to tomorrow and not only survive but thrive. Or do they? Try the challenge and see.

To begin: 

When selecting a new game, select the story option where you answer questions to create a Sim. Select young adult and then just click randomly on the answers. Don't change too much about the Sim created. You can also use https://perchance.org/random-sim-generator. Best is to start with a male Sim.

Your Sims will have to be tested for the virus on a regular basis. The test is simple, just roll the dice and if you get even numbers, your Sim is safe. Uneven number means your Sim is infected so roll again and if you roll even numbers, they stay alive. Uneven numbers means your Sim didn't make it. If your Sims rolls clean or survive, they are immune for two rolls. When your Sim “dies” because of a roll, you can either have them die for real and have Grim come get them or change them into a zombie and move them out.

Start in Spring in San Myshuno in 17 Culpepper House in the spice market. Set life span to long and seasons to max, turn off the celebrity system, turn on the basic living system in lot challenges and you're only allowed to have the cheapest of the cheap furniture. Open the calendar and go to the first day of autumn. Create a holiday called "supply run" and choose fighting as a tradition(this holiday can be deleted once done). After a few days in game, go to the first day spring and create a holiday called "The Beginning" so your Sims can always celebrate this day. Set funds to $500.

Go to Strangerville to the Sigworth household. Give Jess the pack items(by pressing shift on Jess and going to pack cheats), put her in a hazmat suite and open all the doors to the motherplant at the secret lab to activate the Strangeville storie. When she returns to her lot, zombie proof it the way you'd think someone with a military background and in a hurry would do. Give her ammo, a weapon and a radio from the zombie mod and listen to the broadcast to activate the zombie event. Do one event every day for 3 days.

Mods for this challenge: ⦁ Deaderpool's MC Command Center ⦁ Sacrificial's Zombie, Life Manager, Release Bladder Anywhere ⦁ Zero's historical mods ⦁ Turbodriver's Wicked or Wonderful whims ⦁ Frankk's Language Barrier ⦁ LittleMsSam's Miscarriage ⦁ Pandasama's Child Birth ⦁ NeedCoffee4That's Begging and Pick-pocket ⦁ Lumpinou's RPO Collection and Rambunctious Religions ⦁ Midnitetech's Hunter, Gatherer and Crafter careers When moving over to stage: ⦁ Kuttoe's Enlist in war ⦁ adeepindigo Health redux ⦁ Basemental's drugs and gangs

Supernaturals are "infected" so they can't be added to your household.

World Setup:

Rooftop lot in the City: should be on one of the roofs with a campfire, generator, water tower, tents, washing line and tub. This lot will have water and power but the simple living trait.

In the spice district create a clinic lot with a army feel to it on one of the ground lots in the spice district.

Create a groceries store in the city.

Build a vet clinic that doubles as a hospital. Willow Creek, Newcrest, Windenburg, Evergreen, Mt. Komberi, Tartosa and San Sequoia are all available.

Build a "trader" post on the bar lots in Henford, Brindelton, Chestnut and Sulani.

Build a military base in Oasis Springs with family housing

Build a science facility in Strangerville with family housing

In Henford, Brindleton and Chestnut on the largest lot build a town (think Hilltop from The Walking Dead). Make it a rental property so many Sims can live in your town.

All towns are destroyed. It's the apocalypse, seed your worlds accordingly.

This challenge is ever evolving. I'm trying to use every world, every pack and use every bit of what Sims 4 has to offer.

Next post you'll get to meet the Sims your going to find in game. I've uploaded most of them to the gallery already or you can create your own. Gallery ID: suesimming

Part Two

Constant Kitchen fires (no specific cause) Multiple Interactions drop from queue Sim swims under ground Sims hugging backwards/arm glitches Check baby interrupts all attempts to care for baby Can't clean dishes cause of missing trash can (there is one) Sims stand instead of eating at table - excluding then the sim is prioritizing talking to someone while eating. I had figured this was an annoying issue of the table being "too far" from where the cooking is done, like in another room. But I made a house with the table RIGHT THERE by the stove and the sim STILL just stood in front of the stove and ate there. like an idiot lol Active Sims obsessed with cooking waffles/pizza - yup they'll eat waffles then immediately make more waffles. i mean i get it… i do… mmm waffles… Keep going outside during storms - yup and to do nothing. there might be something to do outdoors and there might not. either way the sims will go with nothing queued and just stand there till they get struck by lightning. recently I even had a sim who was indoors somehow not register as being indoors?? and he had to go outside and come back in… Sims hold umbrella while swimming in ocean Lifestyle Outdoorsy: gets negative moodlet for being inside while outside - Y'ALL KNOW THIS ONE REALLY GETS MY GOAT Can't cook on campfire when simple living applied - happy to see others beside me upset about this one. it just. does not make sense Treehouses can't be built in community lots

And those are only bugs I'm experiencing right now and doesn't even cover all of them x'D for example there are a ton of build mode bugs I keep encountering. Also I didn't check off bugs that I encounter but don't consider a big deal (like sims not washing dishes, since I can click and drag them to the sink myself), because the list would be way longer then. There are also others on the list that I used to get but don't anymore. And I'm so surprised I didn't see any about the constant sims getting struck by lightning during the VERY frequent storms!

One thing I found that kinda "bugs" me: whenever someone complais about a cheat not working, the response is that we're not "supposed" to be using cheats so fixing them isn't important. But IMHO Sims 4 is completely unplayable without cheats. How are you supposed to complete aspirations or get promotions when those things are bugged beyond use without cheats? How are you supposed to pay incorrectly exorbitant bills that are higher than your household income? How are you supposed to get rid of stubborn moodlets that never expire? How are you supposed to save your sim from death when they somehow route into a crevice but can't route out?

Simmers need cheats. Not because we're cheater. Because the game. Is. Broken. xP
