Hello, hello! Today I bring you Version 4.1! It’s not a very big update, I only really changed Neighborhood Story Configurations for Every. Household.
I’ll have a guide detailing it soon, but basically I just went through and turned off certain changes for certain families. For example, the Goth Family is not allowed to move out of their iconic home. Families where the parents are already Adults aren’t allowed to have babies. Lily and Victor Feng aren’t allowed to change careers. These are just some examples!
I’ve played around with the update a little. So far (with my changes) I had almost every homeless sim move in to a house on the second night, multiple unfortunate deaths (R.I.P. Mary-Sue 😔) and the Dreamer family adopted 2 kids. I also noticed Sims in relationships may get pregnant even if they aren’t living with their partner (Ilia Lobo got pregnant with Salim Benali). If some things seem too much, I may change them again.
And as always, let me know if you run into any issues or have any suggestions! It’s really hard to keep track of so many Sims now, haha. Thank you and I hope you enjoy!

V4.1 Changes
✨Added Neighborhood Story Configurations for every household.
It’s here! The Kookablarn Save File v3.1 is complete! This version adds Likes & Dislikes to every sim and some other CAS changes like taking advantage of the new hair colors, etc. The changes are detailed under the cut, but the Likes & Dislikes will be added to the profile pages!
I used at least 4 L&D points for everyone. I didn’t want to use too many, but a few sims did reach up to 16 points (they dislike a lot of things...). It made me really want hobbies that weren’t skill-based, like reading and watching TV, and also favorite food. Hopefully, the system will be expanded more in the future!
Looks like we’ll have a new Expansion pack coming very soon. Not sure if I’ll get it right away, but I’ll probably combine Paranormal, Dream Home Decorator, and the new Expansion for the 4.0 update. I still don’t have Paranormal or DHD. (Throwback Fit Kit is still up in the air).
As always, let me know if you run into any issues or have any suggestions! There’s a lot of sims in the file now and it’s starting to get a little hard to manage, haha! Thanks, everyone, hope you enjoy!

V3.1 Changes:
✨Gave every sim (except ghosts, Father Winter, Tutorial Alex, and Baby Ariel) Likes and Dislikes.
✨Changed various sims’ outfits to match their favorite colors. Now everyone predominantly wears their favorite colors. The only exceptions are Diego Lobo (because he has a very...interesting style) and Anne Lee (just because).
✨Changed Hair Colors for various sims. It’s too many to list, but if anyone wants me to, I can do it!
✨Changed Voices for various sims. This is what I get for playing the game muted, some voices didn’t match at all!
✨Changed Luka Broke’s trait from Romantic to Outgoing.
✨Changed Siobhan Romeo’s hair style.
✨Gave tattoos to Morgan and Wolfgang Munch.
✨Gave Morgan Munch a nose ring.
See? That didn’t take long at all! Yep, the next update for the Kookablarn Save File is ready! This version adds the Snowy Escape Expansion Pack, some very small changes like giving pets last names, and also the addition of Sentiments & Lifestyles! As always, the changes are detailed under the cut.
Now that I’m all caught up, I can finally take a break! I’ll still be sharing random trivia and working on the blog, but I don’t have any major updates planned unless we get new DLC, game-changing patches, or if there are any glaring issues.
Let me know if you find any issues and I hope you enjoy! :D

V3.0 Changes:
✨Gave last names pets that were missing them.
✨Renamed the Randle’s cat to Stella. (Catarina has a cat named Brook and we can’t have 2 cats with the same name!)
✨Changed Bobo and Duke Hick to males. (Somehow that slipped by me...)
✨The Patel family had another kitten without me looking. I updated their family description to match that.
✨Placed the urn in Maximus Lobo’s house into his family inventory. (Missed another one...)
✨Changed the Trash Delights club name to Dumpster Divers.
✨Removed that awful eyeball ring from one of Miko Kibo’s outfits
✨Fixed typos in the descriptions for a few families.
✨Added descriptions for: Mayor Whiskers, Captain Whitaker, Felix Psyded, Father Winter, Alcorn Shallot (who for some reason were named Ngata).
✨Changed Bianca Villareal’s ghost to be an Adult rather than Young Adult
✨Changed Chaz McFreely’s aspiration to Extreme Sports Enthusiast.
✨Changed Tabitha Astralgarden’s Cold Wear to one from Snowy Escape.
✨Bess Sterling and Jules Rico are now in an actual relationship.
✨Added Sentiments and Lifestyles wherever they seemed fit. It’s way too much to list here, so follow those links to see it in detail. They’ll also be added to the profile pages.
Hello, everyone! The next update to the Kookablarn Save File is out! In this version, I’ve added the Nifty Knitting Stuff Pack and Eco Lifestyle Expansion Pack and made other various changes including a few CAS changes, relationship changes, and gave some families pets! The changes will be detailed under the cut.
Heads up, I’m planning on getting Snowy Escape within the next two weeks, so if you want to wait for that update it shouldn’t be long. I was going to wait and do one big update, but I decided to go ahead and release this one for those who don’t have Snowy Escape yet.
Hope you all enjoy!

V2.0 Changes:
✨Gave Duane Talla tattoos. (You know, so he better fits the Maui allusion!)
✨Gave Mary-Sue Pleasant a higher-pitched voice and Daniel Pleasant and Darren Dreamer deeper voices. (This is what I get for playing the game muted...)
✨Changed Mary-Sue Pleasant’s hairstyle to one from Eco Lifestyle.
✨Changed Devon Huntley’s hair. (I wanted a long, textured masculine style that wasn’t dreads...we don’t have many.)
✨Changed a swatch on Samantha O’Duff’s hot wear.
✨Altered skin tones (with the new update) for: Daniel Pleasant, Dina and Shawn Alto, Carmen and Nina Richards, John and Jennifer Burb, Bella Goth, Cassandra Blair. (I didn’t want to change too many skin tones, so I altered mostly sims from previous games to match those and their children if affected.)
✨Changed Nina Richard’s aspiration to Serial Romantic. (It should’ve been this from the start. Whoops.)
✨Changed Jahnu Bheeda’s aspiration to Academic. (Wes is the only musical teen around these parts.)
✨Changed Sanjay Rasoya’s aspiration to World-Famous Celebrity. (He’s not very friendly. He shouldn’t want to be a Friend of the World. However, he does want to be famous like his parents...)
✨Made Beau and Luka Broke dislike Don Lothario. (I seriously thought I did this already. They don’t trust him around their mother!)
✨Made Zoe Zest dislike Dina and Nina -Caliente.
✨Fixed typos in the description for: Izzy Fabulous, Thomas Jabari, Paka’a Uha, and The Romeo Family (Marcel’s name used to be Elliott!)
✨Increased Devon Huntley’s fitness skill.
✨Added Pets for:
Cat: The Blair Family, Lilith Pleasant, Artistic Couple, The O’Duff Family, Yuki & Hugo Villareal
Small Dog: The Fletcher Family, Salim Benali
Large Dog: The Zest Family, Darling Walsh, Christie Sigworth, The Romeo Family, The Burb Family
(I’ll be updating the family portraits for the addition of pets as well. Maybe I’ll give the pets profiles, too!)
Version 1.1 and The Ghost-less Version are now live!
Version 1.1 is full of minor fixes, so feel free to skip it if you have the first version and it doesn’t affect your gameplay! These changes include moving urns into the family inventory, tweaking a few Sims in CAS, 1 club change, and a few other things. I’ll detail it under the cut if you’re interested.
The Ghostless Version:
(Why, yes, that is Jocasta Bachelor she’s yelling at!)
One of the goals for the project was to give everyone family trees. However, I realized a little late that The Sims 4 handles family trees and ghosts in a strange way. Ghosts stay in your relationship panel and if you try to delete them, they’ll be deleted from your family tree. Not ideal. But neither is having a bunch of dead family members clutter up your relationships. That’s why I decided to make a second version of the save file that removes the ghosts. Unfortunately, it also takes them out of the family trees. The graves and urns will still exist, but the ghosts will not appear.
The other reason is because of the culling. When you have too many sims, the game will start clearing them out from relationships to make space for more. It doesn’t help that the game is constantly spawning townies, either. Since I created so many ghosts to make family trees interesting, the game would delete friendships. Again, not ideal. I’m hoping the ghost-less version will combat that.
I didn’t remove every ghost! Some are too important to some families. You can see which ones are still around under the cut, if you’re interested.

Ghosts You Can Still Find in the Ghost-less Version:
✨ Placed urns in the family inventory for: Diego Lobo, Marcus Flex, the Murphy Family, the Hecking Family. (Somehow skipped them during my run throughs!)
✨ Upped Brandi Broke’s Parenting Skill to 7. (I feel like it’s more fitting.)
✨ Made Tabitha Astralgarden’s eyebrows brown. (She dyed her hair, so her eyebrows should reflect her natural hair color.)
✨ Disbanded the Renegades (Max has outgrown it.)
✨ Changed Mary-Sue and Daniel Pleasant’s Family Description. (Just altered some awkward wording, it’s still mostly the same.)
✨ Changed Sera Duke’s Party Outfit makeup. (She’s going for a specific look.)
✨ Changed Geeta Rasoya’s Hot Weather Outfit. (I somehow missed that one, it was still random generated!)
