Hi, a little late but i stumbled across one I never new just the other day. There are two shoe racks in the base game: Ladies and men's. When you click on them you have three options: allow shoes indoors, wear slippers indoors or remove shoes indoors. If you choose 'wear slippers indoors' your sims will automatically change to slippers when the enter the house. I never knew that!
Yeah this feature comes with the snowy escape pack! It’s an important part of japanese culture so that’s why they integrated the feature 😍 I love it a lot!! I didn’t know there was a difference between the ladies and men’s shoe rack though 😱 Love the little details!!
This made me giggle, it’s such a sims problem to have to heat your pools because sims are so silly and do their homework at the side of the pool in freezing winter 🤣🤣 I’m glad this was helpful though!! Together we find ways to make the game work 🤭
Windenburg is my FAVORITE WORLD EVER, and I’m always sad when I get a custom save to play in that’s amazing, but they removed the Villareal family 😂 I’ll add them back, no joke, because they’re the spiciest family and the best to play for me. Yet, despite Get Together clearly being one of my top 5 for game packs/stuff packs/dlc/whatever-the-hell-you-want-to-call-them, I didn’t know the pool grate thing. I knew that they gave the bubble effect, but since I almost always use Geothermal (and Natural Well) if I have pools, I never noticed when the water was warm because I chose the grates. I also didn’t know this about the Jungle Adventure water despite me using it in the pool at that one ‘secret’ lot in Windenburg XD Two tips I’d like to add: If you have Snowy Escape, you can add the fireplace that comes with it (Toasty Host Fireplace for §1,050) to outdoor lots like the Grimtooth Bar & Bunker in Moonwood Mill to stop all of the vampires, werewolves and mermaids that show up from freezing to death. A bonus: it doesn’t look too out of place with some of the swatches. I’ll always add a few of them to the lot in a new save file just for that reason. Just don’t forget to send a handy sim over to upgrade it so it’s fireproof (I think it’s just called ‘fireproof’ - it’s the option that isn’t ‘auto light’, as this will stop things nearby from setting on fire). A second one in relation to sims freezing - if you have Dine Out, under Activities and Skills > Outdoor Activities, you will find the Mythic Patio Warming Lamp (§395). It’s another way to keep sims warm if they like going outside. I use it on restaurant lots that have outdoor seating, in my backyards, in parks even near the chess tables. Again, send a handy sim to do some upgrades on it so it’s fireproof. This one I’ll enable ‘auto light’ or the automatic behavior (forget the name) so my sims stay toasty in the cold. A third one, but this time for gardening: the sprinkler that came with Seasons (Sprinkle-O-Matic, §350) can not only water plants in a 6x6 grid (this includes plants inside of planter boxes - not vertical planters, as those have their own watering upgrades), but if you’re annoyed with dirty chickens because you got a bit lazy with the chicken coop cleaning? Pop a sprinkler nearby. It’ll clean the chickens faster than waiting for them to do it automatically. You can upgrade it so it doesn’t cause puddles and automatically turns on, so you can ensure it turns on once a day to water your plants for you OR just clean your dirty chickens (thats what she said).
I like the book Skill Up, yet also when I make a new sim I have them watch the cooking channel. players forget use the lot trait to boost the skill leveling. having the family start a club to level all skills through the club perk buffs.
I knew most of them, but THANK YOU for the plan voting tip!! I was SO tired of having to gather signatures to revoke weird plans that I never even voted for.
ok so i counted the tips and i knew 34/35 ☺️ the one i did not know about was the filter in CAS for randomizing a specific thing on your sim like hair and it’s actually so cool! Thanks for marking this Video ❤
Ty so much. So much money and time and frustration over the years trying to figure this out. There is a huge learning curve! I’m saving this video, I appreciate you taking the time to make this. 🙏🏻 I started playing Sims hot date years ago when it was easier, but got so overwhelmed as it got more stuff. I’m excited to try these tips. ❤
Thank you so much 🧡🧡 I’m so happy that my video can help you enjoy the game! I absolutely feel you with the overwhelming part and there is definitely a learning curve. But you got this!! 👏🏻💜
This is one of the best videos I've seen for Sims 4. I knew most of these, but of course the randomize filter eluded me till now! I made sure to save it to replay when I'm playing the game. Thanks!
Aaah thank you 🥰 That is such a HUGE compliment!! And I feel like the randomize filter is such a wild one, so many people don’t know and it’s soooo useful!! 🤯 Thank you for watching the video 🩵
Fun video! There were a few things I didn't know about. That custom randomization list! 😱🤯 I wish they'd show the festivals from Island Living on the calendar. Have an amazing day and weekend!!
That custom randomization list still BLOWS my mind when I think about it 🤯 Cannot believe I missed that for so long! And now that you mention it, it’s actually kinda silly that the island living events don’t show up there as all other events from the worlds do 🧐 you also have an amazing weekend!! 🩵
Thank you for this Rosanna. I've been playing for around a year and there were things I didn't know (and some I had misunderstood) plus stuff I hadn't considered. I'm going to watch this a few times to make sure I remember them all.
So funny story about tip 2 I was playing with the CheatsUI mod and I clicked the Hunger Icon to get my sim to eat something. Only I misclicked and instead of hitting the icon, I hit the hunger bar. This made my sim immediately die of starvation. It was hilarious and tragic at the same time
I have done this too and it was SO painful! It actualy happened to so many people that UI now gives a pop up with you lower your hunger needs that much to prevent accidental deaths
The best way to get a skill up is MICRO HOMES from tiny living. You yourself dont even need to have a micro home but if you have a friend or family that has one then you should go visit to get the skill up (even better if you make a club at their house and get some club bonuses you will be lvl 10 in 2 sims days) Best way to get fun up, make the sim like the skill they often use. You can add likes in CAS For the gardening you forgot the scarecrow from seasons. If you befriend him he will litterly come to life! and water / weed your crops
Thank you, I learned 3 things...1 the heated pool, never knew any of the options & was blown away...2 that I could limit which festivals show up in the calendar, very useful with the new Life & Death...3 instant repeal or enact eco lifestyle action plan
Thank youuu!! 🩷 Yes the house is on my gallery but I did build it really long ago and I don't specifically remember the lot name. It's a lot in the Eco Lifestyle world and the outiside of the house is brown, white and black and it's a mid-century modern build! If you scroll down you should be able to find it 🩷
hey so i have a question! 17:11 what mod did you use to speed up your time so much without getting your sims to sleep or leave the lot? thanks beforehand if anyone could tell me c:
I like these kind of videos from you and other simtubers. Well done! But I keep wondering why nobody ever mentions the shift + tab key combination... is it to basic? To boring? Or do people not know? Personally I love this one.
You mean the first person camera when clicking shift tab? (: If that is the case, I have a full video on camera controls and it’s not directly related to in game interactions so I didn’t feel the need to include it in this video but it’s definitely a great sims tip and I love using the feature when my sims are jogging to explore the world through a different POV
In my game once my toddler sim is on the potty and my adult sim happens to walk away my toddler sim will still sit on the potty until their bar is full or almost full idk if this only happen to me tho
I'm not sure if it's been mentioned but: If your Sim develops a Fear, you can turn off Wants and Fears, wait for the Fear to go away, then turn them back on. The Fear will be gone but you can get Wants back
Thanks for the tips. I knew most of these tips. But one tip that got me puzzled. The hanging pictures on the wall. It doesn't work. I play on console. I wonder if it's all consoles or I have to fix something. I ask many others but no reply
@@Rosannatxt Thank you for just responding. I have written about this to other UA-camrs no response. It is. I used to play on my computer. It's out of order. I had my Sims 3.
Its part of the fitness stuff pack - there is no way to turn it on or off. There is even a little joke in the loading screen text at this point saying "no I don't want free earbuds" because so many simmers kept asking/complaining about it hahaha 🤭
Chile my Sim once died on his way home from a snow festival right outside the gate I was shocked first time seeing a Sim die in the snow and it was my Sim 😅😅😅😅

I didn’t know you could customise what you randomise in CAS. Wow! And the heated pool, that is so good. Thank you for all the tips and tricks.
Heated pools are a revelation! My Sims keep doing their homework while sitting with their legs in the pool so this will stop them from freezing.
This made me giggle, it’s such a sims problem to have to heat your pools because sims are so silly and do their homework at the side of the pool in freezing winter 🤣🤣 I’m glad this was helpful though!! Together we find ways to make the game work 🤭
This is so well done it should literally be the Sims 4 tutorial from EA.
aaaah thank you 🥹 That’s honestly such a huge compliment!!
EA probably learns more about their own game from Ro 😂😂
As a sims player who has been playing for over a decade, I did not expect your video to be this helpful! Thx for all the tips!
Super glad they could still be helpful!! 💜

woooow you knew so many!! 😱 Still glad there was one in there that was new and you learned something from the video 🩵🩵

For fun, if you do not have a bike getting them the gym rat trait for 500 reward points is an amazing investment.
I was getting worried i knew everything there was to know but the neighborhood stories one I didn't know!
Fun video! There were a few things I didn't know about. That custom randomization list! 😱🤯

Aaah I'm so happy to hear the video could be of help! ❤ Have so much fun playing!!
The only thing i didnt know was the pool warmer, so thats why the polarbear plunge holiday tradition never worked
Can't wait to watch in the morning. 💗✨
So curious to hear your thoughts on it!! 🧡
good tips regarding the settings I knew about the weather buff. I did not know settings was adjustable
So funny story about tip 2

Thank youuu!! 🩷 Yes the house is on my gallery but I did build it really long ago and I don't specifically remember the lot name.

It’s called the ultra speed mod and it’s listed on my mods pages on my website: www.rosannatxt.nl ♥️
Thank you so much i really need thats ❤
You're very welcome! I hope it helps ❤

Also, this house is remarkable!
Also thank you for this 🥰🥰 I vividly remember having so much fun while building this one!
Sims are smarter than you think - my Sim almost passing out from exhausting and yet choosing nap over sleep. 😂
Fair enough 😂😂😂
is there a certain pack for the earbuds? That’s really cool!
It’s from the fitness stuff pack! :)
ah man I don’t have it but thanks
In my game once my toddler sim is on the potty and my adult sim happens to walk away my toddler sim will still sit on the potty until their bar is full or almost full idk if this only happen to me tho
I'm not sure if it's been mentioned but: If your Sim develops a Fear, you can turn off Wants and Fears, wait for the Fear to go away, then turn them back on. The Fear will be gone but you can get Wants back
Ooh wait I did not know this!! Such a good tip because i’m so annoyed by the fears but I like the wants! I wish it was a separate setting haha
Mooom can i finally have my own birthday cake?? No son you get fridge the birth cake that we have been giveging down theou generations
Omg generational birthday cake 😂😂 I never even thought of it that way but that is honestly so true LOL
oh door lock was an update but, before I was downloading a small mod.
Thanks for the tips. I knew most of these tips. But one tip that got me puzzled. The hanging pictures on the wall. It doesn't work. I play on console. I wonder if it's all consoles or I have to fix something. I ask many others but no reply
That sounds frustrating! Unfortunately I don't know how to do it either because I've never played on console so I would have no clue 😅
@@Rosannatxt Thank you for just responding. I have written about this to other UA-camrs no response. It is. I used to play on my computer. It's out of order. I had my Sims 3.
Actually, I knew them all 😊
Lets gooo!!
Does anyone know what causes the game to spawn earbuds in your sims inventory? I’ve always wondered about that as it always happens so spontaneously
Its part of the fitness stuff pack - there is no way to turn it on or off. There is even a little joke in the loading screen text at this point saying "no I don't want free earbuds" because so many simmers kept asking/complaining about it hahaha 🤭
@ You are so right, I almost forgot about that loading screen quote! It makes so much sense now! 😂Thanks Ro!
I hide my cakes in the household inventory
I thought they spoil in the inventory? :)
Chile my Sim once died on his way home from a snow festival right outside the gate I was shocked first time seeing a Sim die in the snow and it was my Sim 😅😅😅😅
That's how I learned as well, hosted a party for my sim in the winter and every guest including my sim passed away from the cold 😅
No way you named him chile and he died from being chilly 💀
