I can't help but think that while Titania is the typical clingy mother who constantly sees her son as her eternal baby, Tybalt is an emotionally constipated father, unable to show affection as he truly feel it. He argues with Virgilio because they have opposing ideas and thoughts but in reality he is the son he is closest to because he is the most problematic and the one that still needs him like a child. Change my mind.

[dystopianam]

Some headcanons about Dante, Virgilio, Celeste and Beatrice~

Dante and Virgilio both have accounts in some popular online videogame and although they don't know each other personally because Tybalt and Juliette have argued, They meet online and decide to meet up in real life to exchange nerdy collectibles. Only after a long time they discover that they are cousins.

Both Beatrice and Virgilio are supportive of Celeste being non-binary/trans, they were the ones who chose their new name. Celeste first began to realize they was non-binary during high school (which I imagine was some sort of private school for rich kids) and Virgilio was always their watchdog when someone tried to make fun of they. BUT Virgilio and Beatrice have been arguing often since then because while Virgilio openly defends and protects Celeste, Beatrice, despite being stubborn and outspoken, is often afraid of to lose people's approval because she is a popular girl.

Dante feels a strong need for a brother or sister; being an only child has never been easy, even though he had all the attention from his mom and dad. But Juliette and Romeo were never able to have any more children. They thought about adopting several times but they no longer had good financial stability after Tybalt literally destroyed their family. When Dante meets his cousins, he becomes very fond of them because of this, but their parents won't allow them to meet...

When Celeste wanted to come out to their father, Virgilio was ready to fight with Tybalt if Tybalt wouldn't accept it. Virgilio got so heated that he became hysterical in advance, only to be left feeling foolish when Tybalt calmly responded with something like, "Oh okay, sure, what's the weather outside anyway?" Tybalt is supportive even if you're a bank robber, as long as it has nothing to do with the Monty's.

I have a question even though I know no one will answer me, but whatever.

Does anyone know which EA eyes have "Korean eyelid"? I used that type of eye only on one of my sims but now I can't find it anymore and I don't know if there are others :/ It wasn't that I needed it for anything in particular, but I liked that detail so much but I couldn't have it for any other sim anymore

[dystopianam]

I don't have an art style for my sims, I honestly don't think I've ever had one, in fact my sims would never be recognizable with distinguishable features, but I have obsessions that I think a lot of people hate:

The eyes should be neither tiny nor huge. A little big is fine, but not anime-style. Back in the days of The Sims 3 and the early years of The Sims 4 I was obsessed with VERY TINY eyes, but then I looked back at my first sims and thought I'd gone too far! It made sense for The Sims 3, it was my "style" that made the sims less pudding face (in fact I think I actually had a style for TS3, actually). But then I saw the sims on Tumblr with tiny eyes and too close, I hated them for no reason and I stopped 💀 As for huge eyes, it's a sort of phobia of mine; human faces with eyes that are too big make me anxious. If they're anime characters, obviously not, but Sims have more human features and they look like aliens otherwise!

The neck should be long and thin, to the point of being unrealistic and making you wonder how it can support the sim's big head. Yeah, it's not realistic and it's actually more anime/manga style, but for some reason I hate super wide necks, I have no idea why, even real people bother me when they they have too wide necks 😭

Ok this is stupid but if there is a slider to do this I'm always the first to download it: I downloaded a breast spacer slider for both The Sims 3 and The Sims 4. Yes I know, there are also close breasts, but in my head if I distance them it is more realistic 😭

Even when the sims aren't asian, I'm obsessed with applying skin detail that hides the eyelid. Does that make sense? No. But I love that detail...

What are the things you're obsessed with doing to your sims that you think other people hate?

[dystopianam]

Yesterday I found out that if sims live in Ondarion, children and teenagers automatically wear these uniforms when they go to school. It's like the school uniforms in Mt.Komorebi, I'm screaming because it's such a cute detail!

[dystopianam]

Hey, if I could bother you for a second, I wanted to know if it would be okay with you if I take inspiration from your Sims 2 Notion template while I'm building up my own version? I'm nowhere near done with it, but the amount of editing I did thanks to using yours as an example makes me feel I should at least ask for permission at this point. And yes, you will get credit when I release it one day.

Yes! Of course, don't worry! ✧⁠◝⁠(⁠⁰⁠▿⁠⁰⁠)⁠◜⁠✧

It's not that it has a copyright, everyone is free to do what they want and take inspiration!

Lighting Mods 💡 for The Sims 4~ ✨

Updated: July 12th (2026)

I was undecided whether or not to make this post because honestly there aren't many lighting mods, the creators of lighting mods are very few and many don't update anymore, but I'll do my best to keep all the lighting mods I see and know about updated!

These are all the ones I know and have found, if you know of any others please tell me, even if they are yours!

Most were originally created by @dreadpirate (know creator of lighting Mods for The Sims 2) or @brntwaffles (Known creator of Lighting Mods for The Sims 3) BUT which have been kept alive and updated by a single person: @softerhaze , who then ALSO contributed with their own lighting mods! Lets start!

It's a question I've been asking myself since the release of Royalty & Legacy. But in your opinion, are the Goths simply a rich family or do they have nobility among their ancestors?

We're sure the Landgraabs are noble, their ancestors in The Sims Medieval are, but what about the Goths?

Clean Maxis & Custom Neighborhoods Templates with Premade Sims! - Masterpost

PART 2

You can find PART 1 HERE.

UPDATED: JULY 11 (2026)

Do you love premades but get bored of constantly resetting neighborhoods and of ending up doing the same things over and over again? With this list I offer you some alternatives! Same sims...but with a little...more! Feel free to recommend me others if you know other neighborhoods like these!

Look here for other masterposts!

⚠️ ALWAYS USE THE HOODCHECKER AFTER INSTALLING A NEW NEIGHBORHOOD AND/OR ADDING A SUBHOOD. The HC will clean up messy memories, fix IDs incorrectly associated to other sims, and recover missing tombstones and urns. Always have no-unlink on deleted in your download folder for avoid unlinked character data and use the Urnstone Spawner for respawn manually the tombstones if the HC fail to recover them.

Take Family Gem away from me, and these are just some of my family trees... (And they're not complete yet)

Apart from the Ultimate VV Dynasties (+ alt versions) which I put on hold for a moment because I have to put too much effort into it and I can't do it with these temperatures, I have one for The Sims 4 for all the sims in all my The Sims 4 Saves (OC + NSB), one for my TS3's NSB, three for The Sims 2 (Alt Maxis Uberhood, The Beginning of Veronaville and Paraiso En Las Rocas) I should do that for my BACC too but first I should recover the save from the backups, and two for non-sims OCs and roleplays with my friend

[dystopianam]

A long time ago @justneilio created an LGBT+ mod but they never updated it since they abandoned mods. Some time later, a user who still had it found one of the traits of the mod on a cat.

This made us laugh so much because at that time there was also the meme of the cat with heterochromatic eyes with the person saying "he has homophobia in his eyes ♥️" that we decided to create "Homophobic Cat", a beast of Satan who sets fire to everything and to everyone. For some reason Neil wanted to try the cat with Loki Beaker's family and it's funny to think how Homophobic Cat haunts him throughout the universes.

When I noticed that in my uberhood, my Erin has a black cat, it added a piece of lore that Homophobic Cat was Erin's cat.

[dystopianam]

I was looking for something else but we have to remember homophobic cat

This morning I turned on my PC to open the game and check the family tree of my NSB save better (and to find the names I didn't remember) and...my God what a disaster that save was.

I started NSB in 2015, and in my head I thought, “I will never delete any premades and townie because I am curious about how genetics will progress generation after generation.”

Aside from the fact that I only discovered that I could stop the game from deleting deceased sims with MCCC after around generation 5 (I still grieve for all the previous generations that the game brutally deleted entirely. Luckily, I have backups of those sims, and I have them in my multiverse save but they no longer exist in the NSB save 😭)

I'm now on the ninth generation and I bitterly regret having trusted the game's story progression. The game deleted tons of sims for no reason even though they weren't even dead, so I have tons of unknown sims in the family tree, and for some reason the game couldn't get a sim to stay married to just one sim, each sim had a husband/wife, at least 6 lovers and 78 children from each lover, you can imagine what my family tree looked like 💀

In addition to this I had a bug that lasted for many patches where the sims were generated without a last name, while the animals had a first and last name, so many sims in the family tree didn't even have a last name, so I can't even try to figure out whose children they are since many of the parents have been deleted by the game.

And... remember that after the R&L patch the family trees have broken and often the game creates parents and partners that don't even exist, but above all it makes spouses siblings, so who knows if this also happened in my NSB save.

When I can I will have to do a good cleaning in the save and... dress all the sims because they are all bald and naked because when I played I had a lot of cc and now I play almost vanilla 💀

I have four savegames in The Sims 4 that I never delete.

My very first savegame I created when I first started playing The Sims 4.

A Japanese-themed savegame (Snowy Escape didn't exist yet, it's very old)

My Not So Berry Savegame

AND a MULTIVERSE where I took all my favorite Sims from the three savegames above and put them into one save with aging off (I want to play them without them aging)

I decided to create a MULTIVERSE family tree where I can see ALL the sims from all my saves, I managed to find and remember almost all of them... but I don't remember the last sims from my NSB ಠ⁠益⁠ಠ (I had reached the ninth generation) I should look in game but it's too hot to turn on the PC 😭

The family tree is much bigger than this, these are just the NSB Sims

Also, ages, pictures, looks and infos correspond to how the sims are in the multiverse save, they are not chronologically consistent, so don't pay attention to them

[dystopianam]

Today I woke up with this theory/headcanon, and listen to me, it may not make sense and could (potentially a lot) not be correct, but it's a good basis for gameplay and fanfiction.

Windenburg has had more than one change in its development phase

As I have already explained in this post, just as Willow Creek is a parallel to Pleasantview and Oasis Springs is a parallel to Strangetown, Windenburg was originally supposed to be a parallel to Veronaville, okay? And I don't need to prove it because it's canonically true, I already explained how in the other post above. It potentially could have even been the first world released for The Sims 4, as the beta images showed a very similar background. But something suddenly changed everyone's minds. That they thought fans might feel more comfortable with Willow Creek with the Goths etch, to start with this new chapter? Or...they had to postpone everything for a massive plot change?

Theory N. 1: Lady Mimsmy...was actually another sim!

This isn't certain, just my theory...but I've always had the impression that Lady Mimsmy wasn't born to be Lady Mimsmy.

But who is Lady Mimsmy? Lady Mimsmy Alcorn Shallot, is one of the two Windenburg ghosts who haunt the Von Haunt Estate, which has become a sort of museum and tourist attraction over the years.

Investigating her story, it is discovered that the cause of her death was a fire accidentally caused by her husband Bernard. ("accidentaly" is yet to be verified.)

But I would like to point out many details:

The cause of her death was fire

She had blond hair and an up-do

She had gray eyes and light skin.

Call me crazy, but these are all details Cordelia Capp has. (Aside from the tied hair, but now I have something that explains that too.)

At the beginning of The Sims 4, Cordelia Thebe was NOT Cordelia Thebe, but was the parallel version of Cordelia Capp.

You're following me here, right? This means that at the time of Get Together Cordelia Capp and Cordelia Thebe were still the same person.

A detail that not many people notice is that many of the furniture inside the Von Haunt are Princess Cordelia's furniture. A coincidence, many would say, "they gave the appearance of being elegant and therefore they put them, after all they are objects from the base game", but coincidentally, to discover the story of Mimsmy and Bernard, the player ends up also reading the descriptions of those objects... and thus discovering Princess Cordelia.

Princess Cordelia exists from the base game, but only starts to be mentioned properly from Get Together.

But what am I trying to tell you? Do you remember when I told you that Windenburg should have been Veronaville? Or even the first world released? It couldn't have. Not only because the plot has been changed several times, but because if you remember well...ghosts didn't even exist in The Sims 4 at the beginning. They were added many patches later.

But much more important, taking into account the origins: what if...Mimsmy was actually supposed to be Cordelia Capp and Bernard Caliban Capp? The cancellation of "let's make Windenburg Veronaville" changed everything... because EA had a much bigger plot in mind for Cordelia. It may also be a coincidence, but without reading the description of the bust, Cordelia's bust looks like Mimsmy, because of the hair.

---

Theory N.2: The Villareals and the Capps...are related!

This is more of my headcanon than a verified theory, also because I have no proof, but I thought: Jacques Villareal's wife suddenly disappeared into thin air. And the game hints that he was the one who made her disappear.

But Tybalt Capp's wife is also missing. And now you're asking me: so what??

When Royalty & Legacy was released, many people, including me, had the same thought: "Beatrice Capp looks like Luna Villareal" and so I thought...what if Jacques' wife and Tybalt's wife were the same person?? Consequently the mother not only of Beatrice, Celeste and Virgilio, but also of Luna, Hugo and Max.

Jacques has always been very close to the nobility, with all that still unsolved mystery of the Knights of Windenburg. Right now mine can only be a very forced theory, in fact, it probably is...and yet if you think about it it would be a very convenient way to unite Windenburg again with Veronaville lore.

The Villareals have always had a very strong reference to the Capps. It doesn't matter if Morgan Fyres was supposed to be Juliette and Sergio Romeo/Paolo Rocca were supposed to be Romeo. The Villareals were a clear reference to the Capps: Jacques represented Consort, Luna Juliette, Hugo Hermia and Max Tybalt. But with the difference that Jacques is not the grandfather but the father.

Chronologically, it should have gone like this:

Lady X married Tybalt in Bellacorde and gave him three children. Then for some reason she ran away or was chased away from Bellacorde.

Once she arrived in Windenburg, she found comfort in Jacques and gave him three more children... and then disappeared forever. (Probably by Jacques himself?)

Tybalt and this woman were probably the same age, for Jacques she was much younger, but from the Get Together trailer as we could see...Jacques had no problem flirting with very young girls.
