hiii !! this might be such a weird question but how did u create ur save so like people have lore, relatives, friendgroups etc etc .. and the whole trope with safi and jude how do u make the sims .. cooperate LIKE BRO U MASTERMIND HOW DOES UR BRAIN GENERATE ALL TS 😭💗

hiii, this is such a fun question omg🥹sorry for such a late response, this got a little lost in my inbox but i really did want to spend some time on it! this response is a little long...

i can't play a game unless i am attached to my main characters, so i've spent a lot of time building up my save file and world building. in my mind, chestnut ridge represents the southwest united states, which is where safiya is originally from, while brindleton bay, evergreen harbor, and copperdale represent the east coast (particularly new england). this is how it works in my mind, so i try not to play in worlds other than these. britechester and san myshuno are a few hours north / south of them! for my main sims, i just built off of the personalities i gave them in CAS and also implemented in characteristics from characters in other media that i like. this is so random but these were some of the inspos for my sims HAHA. i also try to give both safiya and jude traits in myself, since it's easier for me to relate & play with them! for example, i really enjoy music and swimming, so i try to show this with my sims. over time i feel like they've developed more into their own personalities.

i did the same for safiya and jude's friends! even just thinking about a few simple traits is enough. i really recommend creating a club for your sims and their friends, since it's easy to gather them all together that way. some mods i recommend for friendships include girls talk and guys talk by annasiims, dynamic teen life by adeepindigo, and hang out and chat on bed by simkatu.

when it comes to making relatives in game, i usually just use the genetics feature in CAS if i want the relative in the same household as my main sim. you can also use MCCC to add relationships with pre-existing sims. this video is a great tutorial that shows you how to use it :) to add more to your sims' lore, i recommend using lumpinou's expanded milestones and then adding them to your sim by right clicking on the milestones tab with UI cheats. i also like to use UI cheats to add levels to certain skills. my favorite mods that add in some personality are: talents & weaknesses and lgbtqia+ overhaul by lumpinou, timelines, romantica, and origins by ellesimsworld, and healthcare redux and divergent sims by adeepindigo.

i also like to take storyline aspects from media i really like... i can't tell you how many things that've happened so far have been inspired by my fave tv shows/movies/fanfics... same thing goes with tropes! i love slow burn and friends to lovers so naturally that's what i decided on. thank u for being patient with me and i hope this long reply has been helpful ദ്ദി╥ ᴗ ╥)

The way I like to play is all about letting sims do their own thing and following their goals, making their own stories, and kind of just seeing where the game (or rather mods) take me. It’s more fun when things happen unexpectedly, and it helps keep the game from getting boring!!

You can mix this playstyle into any challenge like Rags to Riches, 100 Babies, whatever - It’s not really a challenge on its own, just a different approach to playing The Sims 4! 🙂‍↕️ https://www.youtube.com/deykxn This list will continue to get updated over time, probably missing some rules but hopefully this makes for a good base! Recommended Mods: Coolspear's Improved Autonomy Have Some Personality Please Social Variety Wants & Fears Lumpinou Pro Library LGBTQIA+ Mod Drama Unleashed Carl's Gameplay Overhaul Sim Control Hub Romantic Extensions More Kisses Better Midlife Crisis Goals General Rules: No cheats for money No exiting without saving Try to keep most interactions autonomous - No instigated flirting/woohoo - Friendly Interactions are okay to instigate - Mod interactions for storytelling mods are okay to instigate do NOT stop your sims from being mean/arguing!! this is something i know a lot of us do but if sims don't get along let them not get along - and turn mean autonomy back on with mcc if you've turned it off!! - Everytime you add an outfit in CAS subtract -100 Simoleons from your Sim! Mindset: Before you do anything major in the game - ask yourself “would this actually happen in real life?” Does it make sense for your sim’s current situation? How would it fit into their story? Try to treat your sims like they’re real people with emotions, goals, and limitations!!

Housing: Don't purchase a fully decorated perfect little house, always move your sims into either empty lots or shells and fill them up over time! We are allowed to move If a house was built up rags to riches style we are allowed to ‘sell’ it for it’s full price If moved into a shell we won’t get money for the property from moving out Repairs must be made using the ‘repair’ interactions or hiring a service 'replacing' is not allowed For every lot challenge we can put one lot trait that brings in a positive - Simple Living lot trait has to be applied Wants & Fears: Try to complete at least one want before each refresh Fears do not have to be conquered Try to complete the heirs Bucket List - Bucket List goals have to be randomized If in a midlife crisis pay extra special attention to those goals!! Personality: Aspirations - Randomized allowed to re-roll the aspiration after each birthday! Sims 4 Aspiration Generator Traits - Randomized Personality Discoveries have to be decided by the yes or no wheel Yes No Picker Wheel - Get Yes or No Answer by Spinning

Jobs: Not allowed to take Phone Job opportunities For the heir try to pick a ‘open career’ e.g. Small Business, Freelance, etc. - Allowed to do Odd Jobs/Side Hustles/Part-time Jobs Career has to align with the sims’ personality You are allowed to apply for goverment benefits Spouses/Partners: No moving in until Sim gets the want or Partner proposes it - Partner does not bring in money from moving in!! No Engagement/Marriage until Sim gets a want or partner proposes it - If Partner proposes moving in/marriage/engagement the yes or no wheel has to be spun Yes No Picker Wheel - Get Yes or No Answer by Spinning Wicked Whims: Random Sex offers have to go through the yes or no wheel - established partners can just accept/decline Seductive Looks have to go through the yes or no wheel Pregnancy: If one, or both, Parents do not want a child the yes or no wheel has to decide Yes No Picker Wheel - Get Yes or No Answer by Spinning - If the wheel says yes to terminating the Pregnancy but we do not have money to terminate it the pregnancy will go through!

Offspring: Naming: Go down the ABC per Sim Traits: Always randomized - unless you have an established idea for the sim Heir can be whoever we vibe with the most Lumpinou Mods: Interactions have to always be decided by fate Death: If a Sim dies we are not allowed to plead for their life Cannot bring a Sim back from the dead No interactions with ghosts unless the Sim is very into the Paranormal Wheel of Drama Can be used whenever you're bored! Not needed but definetly adds a little spice to calm eras. 🙂‍↕️ https://spinthewheel.app/sims-4-wheel-of-drama Save File: Cheating for money/aspirations/etc is allowed for anyone outside of the main heir for storytelling purposes - If you need some townies make sure to check out #deytownies on the gallery!! DON'T get caught up trying to make the perfect save file - grab some builds from the Gallery, swap out EA townies for ones you like better, and let your world grow and evolve as you go. It doesn’t have to be perfect!! Our main Priority is having FUN!!

Folkling Save File WIP - WIllow Creek

Here's some of Willow Creek so far. I have so much more to do though. I definitely want a cemetery, a bank, an apartment, restaurant/bar, a grocery store, and a Christmas tree farm (or pumpkin patch).

P.S. I'll try and answer all the asks i have in my inbox later tomorrow, I might have to turn my asks off to for awhile to catch up, I hope you all understand.
