"Unofficial Game Modification" Notification + Black Screen Fix
If you've dabbled with core mods or recently approved of a new Windows update, it's likely you'll run into this notification while launching the game.
The good news? The notification is innocuous and easily fixable following the steps below.
Just press "Continue".
Yup, that easy! Pressing "Continue" will make the game launch normally. If you're unable to see this notification from a black screen, hold ALT + TAB at the same time to find it.
2. Fix your core mods.
Core mods such as NRAAS ErrorTrap and simler90's Gameplay Core Mod are known to cause this pop-up. The mods' platform version can be mismatched to your platform's version, prompting this notification.
ErrorTrap offers a download for different platforms: EA App, 64bit Mac version, Steam version and Retail Disk version.
Gameplay Core Mod version on MTS causes this pop-up when used on Steam, EA App and Mac versions of the game. You can download a fix here (SimFileShare link).
I believe this item can solve a common problem faced by many builders — a problem I personally struggled with as well.
In practice, it works much like a power strip: simple, flexible, and reliable — and thankfully, without introducing any electrical safety concerns to the Sim world.

Greetings, fellow simmers! Welcome to the landing page for our Family Dynamics Challenge, specifically created for the Sims 4. This challenge was created by Pastella Pixels and standingsimmer with the goal to set forth a unique (and fun!) set of guidelines for a ten-generation legacy challenge centered around a variety of family dynamics.
If you choose to play this challenge on any platform, please feel free to use the hashtag #familydynamicschallenge so we can enjoy your gameplay too!
General Rules
Begin with a single sim
No cheats or mods that serve to enhance gameplay over other simmers (MC Command Center is permitted for baby gender/number control and risky woohoo only)
May use “freerealestate on” when starting the first generation ONLY
Custom saves are allowed, and encouraged, to add an infusion of new gameplay opportunities
Each career and aspiration must be completed unless expressly stated otherwise (if a career branch is not specified, then the choice is completely up to you!)
Have fun! Don’t let the rules of this challenge confine you and inhibit your creativity. Unless the rules explicitly direct you, we encourage you to make the gameplay your own
Generation One: “White picket fence”
From the time that you strike out on your own as a young adult, you dream of cultivating loving familial relationships as rich and unique as the dishes you love to create. You marry younger than some of your friends, raise a bundle of children, and enjoy gardening and entertaining in your spare time. Yet, you still devote a portion of your life to your hidden dream of becoming a master chef.
Traits: Outgoing, Foodie, Family-Oriented
Aspiration: Successful Lineage
Career: Culinary (Master Chef branch)*
Rules:
Complete at least five (5) gold-level dinner parties
Master cooking and baking skills
Marry as a YA and stay happily married until “death do us part”
Have 3-4 children
Maintain a garden with at least 10 unique plants, including a cowplant
Complete at least ¾ levels of aspiration
*Upon completing level 5 of the Culinary career, you may also choose to leave the career and open a restaurant instead
Generation Two: “Why ever leave?”
You were raised to believe that “home is where the heart is.” And because of this, you rarely venture into the outside world unless given a really good reason to do so. You choose not to leave your parents’ home to pursue your own path at the same time that a lot of others do. Video games and programming became your passion while holed up in your basement bedroom, and thankfully your career of choice doesn’t require a lot of socialization. Leftover pizza, anyone?
Traits: Lazy, Slob, Geek
Aspiration: Computer Whiz
Career: Tech Guru (eSport Gamer branch)
Rules:
Win a GeekCon competition while cosplaying
Meet spouse at GeekCon
Master programming and video gaming skills
Play the guitar as a hobby (no skill requirement)
Order pizza for dinner at least one night per week
Never move out of childhood home until parents have died
Generation Three: “Support my family”
Being raised by a parent with an affinity for keeping close to home never quelled your sense of adventure and love for the outdoors when growing up. You love finding hidden treasures and collecting “useless” items, hoping to convince others of their value. Being made a single parent at a young age only helped to build the desire within you to remain free of the clutches of a “normal” job or relationship. And so, you devote your heart to running your own business and being the best parent that you can.
Traits: Cheerful, Unflirty, Loves the Outdoors
Aspiration: The Curator
Career: Self-employed (owns a retail store and sells collectibles/woodworking creations)
Rules:
Become a single parent as a young adult
Master handiness and charisma skills
May sell items at Flea Market whenever possible
Visit the secret lot in Oasis Springs
Travel to a vacation world at least 3 times
Generation Four: “Laugh away the pain”
Let’s be honest: you had a pretty good upbringing. Even though there were some rough patches, you know that your parent did the best they could to raise you alone. But, deep down, being alone is the very thing you fear more than anything. So, you cover it up with laughter,…both the laughter which bubbles from inside you and that which you try to create in others. You marry young in a desperate attempt to fill the emptiness that drives you, only to find later that your spouse has chosen another. Eventually, you have to face the fact that your family and the laughter are enough to hold you up. Oh, and did we mention you mix some crazy DJ tapes in your free time?
Traits: Goofball, Romantic, Active
Aspiration: Joke Star
Career: Entertainer (Comedian branch)
Rules:
Master DJ and comedy skills
Reach level 5 of the fitness skill (jogging only)
DJ at a club at least once per week
Marry first GF/BFas a YA
Turn blind eye to spouse’s cheating
Eventually divorce spouse; never remarry
Generation Five: “Struggling in the city”
You come from a broken home. Growing up, you witnessed first-hand the havoc that infidelity can bring on a family. You determine from a young age that you will pour your soul into forging close relationships with your spouse and children. The city draws you, and it is there that you decide to make your home. However, despite your best efforts as a doctor later in life, tragedy claims one of your children long before their time. You wear a shroud of sadness from then on, but find that the love of your remaining child(ren) and your ability to express yourself through song might just pull you through in the end.
Traits: Gloomy, Genius, Music Lover
Aspiration: Super Parent
Career: Doctor
Rules:
Master singing and parenting skills
Reach level 5 of the logic skill
Live in an apartment from YA onwards
Have more than one child
Win at karaoke night at least once
Lose one child to death
Visit child’s grave at least once per week; leave their bedroom untouched
Generation Six: “Living with a broken heart”
You lost a sibling at a very young age and witnessed your parents’ grief while still trying to process it yourself. Rather than trying to pick up the pieces, you let the sadness consume you. You give into your darkest thoughts. Theft and criminal activity appeal to you, and eventually you give yourself over to that lifestyle. Even though you’re more at home in your contemplative solitude, you take comfort once in a one-night-stand. But there’s a surprising side to you; the raging in your heart is only calmed by the time you spend cultivating life in the soil.
Traits: Kleptomaniac, Loner, Vegetarian
Aspiration: Public Enemy
Career: Criminal
Rules:
Run away from home as a teen & never speak to parents again
Do not “inherit” any money from parents
Garden as a coping method
Master mischief and gardening skills
Steal at least 10 items over the course of generation
Have a one-night-stand with a coworker that results in pregnancy
Generation Seven: “Here to make a difference”
There is only one word to describe your childhood: lonely. You knew from a young age that the parent you lived with took no pleasure in your company, and you’ve always felt that you were the “mistake” that resulted from a careless decision. As a result, you pour effort into building relationships with those who truly care about you, and even attempt to mend relationships with those who don’t. You have a core group of people who mean the world to you, and you spend as much time with them as you can. Becoming a politician was an obvious choice, as it provides you with the tools you need to reach others. And while you’re a social creature by nature, you never turn down the opportunity to curl up with a good book.
Traits: Good, Insider, Bookworm
Aspiration: Friend of the World
Career: Politician (Charity Organizer branch)
Rules:
Attempt to mend relationships with estranged grandparents and parent
Maintain a club of “besties” from YA onwards
Have a movie night with club once per week
Master the charisma and wellness skills
Marry a club member
Read at least 10 unique books over the course of the generation
Have at least two biological children and adopt at least one child
Volunteer with family at least twice
Generation Eight: “Working with animals is my passion”
Growing up, you were constantly surrounded by family and close friends who loved you. But you desired more than just human interaction. Animals are your passion, and your biggest dream is becoming a vet and opening your own clinic someday. Even though starting up your own business means you have to live with your parents longer than most of your friends, you don’t mind because it means you’re close the people you love. In fact, closeness and similar interests cause you to fall in love with someone who works at your vet clinic, and they don’t mind that you can’t yet afford a place of your own. In your “spare time” (hah!), you enjoy photographing places near and far, searching for that perfect shot. Between trying to run a successful clinic and your photography hobby, you’re not able to spend as much time with your children as you like. But that’s okay; you’re out there living your dreams.
Traits: Cheerful, Self-Assured, Cat Lover OR Dog Lover (player chooses)
Aspiration: Friend of the Animals
Career: Self-Employed (runs a vet clinic)
Rules:
Live with parents until they die while trying to get clinic off the ground
Have a child as a YA with someone who works at vet clinic
Marry the father/mother of their child once parents die
Master veterinarian, pet training, and photography skills
Achieve 4/5 star vet clinic rating
Must take at least one photo in every world
Have collage wall in their clinic of pets
Generation Nine: “Business-minded and musically-inclined”
Your parents worked hard for every penny that they earned, but you were just left feeling like they didn’t care about you as much as the animals they tended. Your grandparents are your closest friends while they’re still alive. After all, they practically raised you. As a young adult, you desire the family you feel you never had and start a family quickly…only to find out that you’re married to someone you don’t love as much as you should. You have a “responsible” 9-5 at the local business office, but you also possess real musical talent. Even though you would never consider leaving your job at the office, investing in your music is something you do quite regularly. You eventually remarry after finding real love, and enjoy the rest of your life mediating a mixed family. Will you find true happiness amidst the wealth and your high-powered job?
Traits: Ambitious, Clumsy, Snob
Aspiration: Musical Genius
Career: Business (Management branch)
Rules:
Become good friends with one or both grandparents
Marry and have at least one child; divorce spouse
Later remarry and have at least one child (think “Yours, Mine & Ours”)
Master piano and charisma skills
Achieve level 5 of either the violin or guitar skill
Hire and keep a butler
Eat out at a restaurant at least once per week
Generation Ten: “I will make our happy ending”
Objectively speaking, your life is great. You never really wanted for anything as a child. The overactive imagination that you possess lends itself perfectly to your love of writing. The supernatural fascinates you, but more than anything you desire to find true love. When your significant other suddenly dies prematurely, you immediately begin to seek out a way to bring them back to you. As you search, drinking becomes your method to quiet a broken heart and provide a false sense of peace. But at a time when your hope begins to lag, your decision to adopt a child despite your own childlessness is the final push you need to persevere. You succeed in creating your own happy ending following a long line of sims with odd stories: some happy, and some not.
Traits: Hot-Headed, Creative, Erratic
Aspiration: Soulmate
Career: Self-employed (writer)
Rules:
Master writing and gourmet cooking skills
Achieve level 5 of mixology skill
Find true love at a young age, significant other dies prematurely
9 Generation Occult Legacy Challenge by Asphodel Moon! Graphics by me. I tweaked a few of the rules' text to make it fit, so check out the link for the full rules/details.
The Collector’s Legacy Challenge is a multi-generation challenge based on collecting items for each generation and completing the household collection list.
Rules:
No cheating! You may not cheat to obtain collectibles, level skills, finish aspirations or give yourself more simoleons.
You are required to keep your collectibles. If you obtain a duplicate of something you already own or obtain an item that your generation does not require, you may then discard it. Otherwise, keep your collectibles!
Don’t collect future generations items for them.
Gender is not specific to any generation.
Keep the lifespan on normal.
You do not need to max a generations career unless stated otherwise.
You may purchase collectibles at the flea market, at a vendor, or on the computer. (Some items require to.)
Some generations require certain packs. If you do not have a pack, feel free to skip that generation until you’re able to get your hands on it.
Some generations require certain aspirations, some do not. If they don’t, you can add whatever aspiration you find fitting to your sims goals/personality.
Traits are completely up to you.
All the collectibles are based on the household collections list. Open your sims inventory and click the diamond icon at the left and take a look!
Use the hashtag #collectorslegacy so I can see your gameplay and stories!! I’d love to see them (:
I haven’t fully play tested this entire challenge, so if you believe there are generations that could use some tweaks, let me know.
I’m going to be updating this challenge as new packs come out and we get new household items to collect. If you enjoy this challenge, be sure to keep an eye on it when a new pack is released! If you are confused or have any questions, please send me an ask @gorgosim on tumblr. Good luck and have fun!
! IMPORTANT WARNING ! : When splitting households via manage worlds, it will reset your household collection. Please refrain from splitting your household in order to avoid your collection progress being reset/lost!
Welcome to this ten generation legacy challenge based on vibrant colors! Inspired by all the other color themed legacies out there, because who doesn’t like basing their sims whole personality on a color (I know I’m a sucker for it lol). I won’t put a long list of rules here, because at the end of the day I want this to be your gameplay and story that you create. I will suggest that you follow each generation, but if something isn’t to your liking, by all means, change it for yourself. With that being said, don’t claim this challenge as your own, even if you tweak it. Remember, though, legacy challenges are all about having fun!
If you play don't forget to tag me here or on instagram @clumsy.romantic or use the hashtag #notanotherlegacy. I would really love to see some gameplay/stories!
Generation One: Licorice.
You never stay in one place too long. As a criminal, you’re always on the run. You don’t commit to anything. The only thing you’ve ever truly loved and committed to is your career. When it comes to actual love, you dip as soon as it seems like things might get serious. You don’t like being that close to people, letting people in like that. You can’t trust anyone, or so you thought.
Only your child(ren) can be your partner in crime.
Get caught cheating at least once.
Max your career.
Complete your aspiration.
Master the Mischief, Handiness and Programming skills.
[Packs used: None]
Generation Two: Pearl.
From the time you could hold things, you were coloring, drawing, painting, anything that could help you express yourself. You are the exact opposite of your parent. Maybe you’re like the other one? You wouldn’t know, though. You never met them, nor heard a single truth about them. That doesn’t matter, though, because as soon as you can, you move out of your parents home so that you can start your own life and family. Love isn’t easy, as you don’t truly know what it’s supposed to look like, but with how kind and caring you are, it almost comes easy to you.
Marry someone with amazing compatibility (or someone with similar traits).
Have 5 children.
Have a bowling night with the family at least twice a week.

As a teenager, you become a simfluencer who models athletic wear and shows off your healthy lifestyle. As a Young Adult, you constantly have dogs. You tell yourself all you need is dogs, until you meet another fitness buff who you end up having a baby with.

Generation Four: Dandelion.
It was hard for you to relate to your parents, as they were much more outgoing and sociable than you were. Keeping up conversations and being around people always made you feel drained. You preferred being by yourself with a good book. It was usually a sci-fi book about robots. It’s no surprise that you’re the first in your family to go to university and you end up working in engineering. Your best friend, perhaps lover as well, is a robot you built. Seems like a good life to you.
[Packs used: High School Years, Discover University]
Generation Five: Emerald.
You want to make the world a better place for the next generations. Everything you do involves Mother Earth. You live off the land, garden and fish for your food. You raise chickens for your eggs and cows for your milk. You also fabricate and make things for yourself, others and your animals. Some of the things you create you sell on Plopsy for income. You have a baby with someone you’re engaged to be married to. But as soon as you can, you pack up and leave them, taking the baby with you.

Complete your aspiration.
Master the Knitting, Fishing, Gardening and Fabrication skills.
[Packs used: Eco Lifestyle, Nifty Knitting, Island Living]
Generation Six: Turquoise.
Growing up on a beautiful beach with your single parent doing everything for you made you into a spoiled brat. The only thing you actually want to do, besides sleep and chill, is fashion photography. You have a real eye for fashion. Although, you don’t really have a knack for picking up work. You’re more likely to be suntanning than actually doing your job. The few times you do accept a job, you fall in love with the model. Instead of falling happily in love together, you are constantly fighting, and to make matters worse, you have a kid together. Something neither of you wanted.
Have a baby with one of the models that has the Mean, Hot-Headed or Evil trait.
Only have 1 child.
Have a bad relationship with your child.
Move to San Myshuno as an Adult.
Max your career.
Complete your aspiration.
Master the Charisma and Photography skills.

You constantly heard your parents fighting over something. They were never not fighting. You found your solace in music; listening to it, writing it, playing instruments, just everything about it. You get married young just so you can move out. But you’re in love with a musician on the side. You’re not really sure if you should keep seeing them, or stick by your spouse. You never really were good with decisions, especially ones that could really impact your future.

[Packs used: Get Famous, City Living, Get Together]
Generation Eight: Magenta.
You’ve always used humor and pranks as a way to cope with everything going on in your life. No one but your best friend really gets you. It’s hard for you two to get over being friends when you realize that you have feelings for each other. Except, after having a baby together, you realize you were better off as friends. You still civilly raise the child, just not under the same roof anymore.
You and your best friend fall out, but you still raise the child civilly.
Have at least 1 cat.
Max your career.
Complete your aspiration.
Master the Comedy, Writing and Mischief skills.

This mod attempts to fix and improve Sim generation and age up, mainly by getting rid of pudding face, with a whole lot of other fixes and improvements.
Download
Patreon / MTS
Features
Generated Sims will no longer be pudding faced.
Sims won't age up into or generate with future clothing on non-future worlds anymore, and a lot of homeworld inappropriate or costume clothing has been blacklisted (No more elf hats!)
Male Sims now have tunable chances to grow facial hair and body hair, both on age up and on Sim generation.
Generated Sims will now actually have random voices and voice pitches, rather than all being 50% pitch Voice 1. Sims will also re-roll voice types on age up as more voice types become available to them.
Fitness, weight and breast size are now randomized as well, including muscle definition. Muscle definition depends on fitness and weight, with some variation.
Sims will no longer generate with green hair colors. Via tuning, you can also make it so that generated Sims randomly pick hair colors that you've saved as presets in CAS.
Installation
There are 2 flavors available, same mod, different tuning:
"ld_RandomSimFixes.zip" - Default flavor. Hair color for generated Sims is chosen from a preset list.
"ld_RandomSimFixes_CustomHair.zip" - Custom hair colors flavor. Hair color for generated Sims is chosen from your custom saved CAS hair color presets.
Just drop the package into your Documents/Sims 3/Mods/Packages folder.
You can modify the tuning with S3PE - inside of the package you can find a commented XML with all of the tuning values.
Compatibility
Won't take effect if you already have a core mod that fixes pudding faces - disable this feature in the core mod if possible to have this work.
Special thanks to Simler90, as I've found about some of these issues thanks to his GameplaySystems core mod.
Changelog
Update 2.0
Fixed Sim voices incorrectly randomizing on age up to young adult or older.
Store Future CAS Parts are now filtered out as future clothing.
Removed green hair colors for randomly generated Sims.
Added body hair generation.
Added clothing blacklist.
Added ability to utilize custom CAS hair color presets for generated Sims.
Disclaimer: This mod is not an all in one solution for lag; Essential improvements like NRaas mods are still recommended. Some people don’t see much change, others see a huge improvement.
This mod alters the speed at which the game’s processing runs, which improves the overall performance of the game and some loading times. Most noticeably in Create A Sim, Create A Style and Buy/Build.
In addition, more specific fixes are included for The Sims 3:
CAS clothes are now loaded in as you scroll rather than staggered, greatly improving CAS performance.
Create-A-Style no longer gets locked up and unusable while patterns load.
Create-A-Style drag and drop has been optimized a bit, making it smoother.
Certain CAS audio quirks such as music or voices sometimes not playing should be fixed.
