A Directory of Content from Carl's Sims 4 site
People loved my sitemap for The Sims 3, because it helped them to discover content found throughout that huge site. Because this has been requested a few times in the past year, I'm making the same thing for The Sims 4. This list of guides will also give me a place to share miscellaneous content I write, such as the guide about the talking toilet from City Living. I'd really like to do more content like that, but it's difficult to give it a place within the site structure. So while this will help some readers, it'll also help yours truly to get a bit more creative with content.
List of Main Guides
The list is a hierarchy of directories, much like the main site. If you're looking for the skills list, you'd head toward S based off the top level. If I haven't written a guide yet, it's unlinked but listed in order to help people see what is available with various expansions and stuff packs. Miscellaneous help articles are found at the bottom.

sims 4 admirals wreckage, any idea what's in the chest and how to, if there is a quest for it ?
It's just a decoration piece.
There is so much in this game compared to Sims 1 through 3. I love playing and have been playing for 20 years, when the original came out. Now that my printer is broken, my question is do you have a printed version off all this, cheats game play etc, for purchase? Thanks
No all Carl's guides are free and not locked behind any paywall, unlike other 'fan' sites. No PDF versions as this is an online guide.
What you can do, is pause, tab out, and come here at any time!
I know it's possible to disable DLC packs, but I don't know how, or where I saw the how-to article. Any idea?
I'd like to do a legacy game where the first generation has just the original release, and as new generations come of age I re-enable more packs, in order that they were released, depending on how big they were.
Crinricts Blog Guide Or perhaps easier to use James Turners Disable Packs tool
Awesome, thanks! Now to decide exactly what to disable, probably leaving the stuff packs on and 4 of the first 5 game packs. Devoting a generation to hunting vampires? Probably. A new generation to... go to the spa? Not so much...
Where are the Discover University guides?
(unless I'm blind and just can't find them??)
Uni Guides
I need to know more about the laundry day stuff pack. Where do I put the freshly washed an dried clothes. In my game the clothes just keep piling up. I want to keep my sims houses neat and tidy.
Click on them to 'Put Away' and your Sim will auto magic them into thin air aka their wardrobe.
Have been using your guides for years!
Would love a guide on policies on voting in Eco Living. For example right now the water is shut off, and I have no idea how to keep my sims clean (besides traveling to another world and using a waterfall).
You could also take your Sim to a gym and use the showers there. If your Sim has the Always Welcome reward store trait then they can also bathe, shower and cook and even sleep in other sims houses too.
My solution to that was to add solar panels and a water generator to the lot. Just make sure you have some kind of “sustainable” energy/water on the lot and all your water and power should turn right back on!!
Also check your bills if you have anything unpaid “they” shut it all off and eventually repo-men come to take your stuff.
Hope this helps!!
Hey Carl, I have the full list of the City Living Poster Collection. Happy to share.
We have a board on our forum just for ideas and tips like this. Feel free to post there: Guide Suggestions Forum Board
Or you can simply post the information in the City Living section of the forum: City Living Forum Board
Carl could you do a Roommate guide, I can't seem to keep mine happy, and I think I have a nice house.
So I have EVERYTHING available for the game. But I want to do a throwback game with just the Base Game. Without uninstalling everything, is there a way in build mode/cas to only seen base game items/clothing? Also is there a guid for the base game? Such as which lots and aspersions/traits etc... are base game vs and expansion/game/stuff pack?!
You can disable the packs in the Origin settings. James Turner has a website to make this quick and easy. Disabling Packs Made Easy - James Turner Most of the base game guides are easily found on Carl's Guides as the more pack specific information is on that packs particular guide pages. So a base game guide is the more general info.
I'm 65 and need a place where an example of the whole ps4 skill cheat line is, for reference. I cant remember where there should be a space, for example. Your site used to have this. I can't seem to find it. Pretty site now though. Tough finding a hot link to the ps4 section. Cheers mate! Great work through the years! -mike g
Hi Mike, hopefully you'll find what you need on the forum console board. I've added the direct link for you below. If you can't find it leave a post on the forum and I am sure someone will answer you there.
