Disabling Seasions But Keeping its Stuff - Want to disable weather or make plants in season year-round? You can do so with my new Seasons Tuner Mod
Improving Sims 4: The past month, I've spent every day tinkering The Sims 4, making quality of life improvements, gameplay changes, and new difficulty settings for the game. If you'd like to learn more about my project, visit the post on Patreon where you can download it now.
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.
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.

is there a cheat to get my toddlers skills up WITHOUT doing all the work if you know pls reply!
You'll find the toddler skill cheats on the Main cheats page under the heading Toddler Skill Cheats which you will find by scrolling down the page.
Hi! Maybe there's a guide already but I really need help figuring out which lot type to assign. What's rhe difference functionally between a bar and a lounge? Which lot types will bartenders spawn on? spa technicians? baristas? bouncers? I'd really appreciate a spreadsheet so I can better choose which lot type to assign to my custom builds.
Place any bar down on any non residential lot and a bartender will spawn. Only one bar per lot though. Alternatively, you can click on any bar and choose 'Hire bartender".
So designating lots is up to the player. Spas will spawn the workers if you have placed the massage beds/chairs down and so on. Again, you can also place those beds/chairs down on a different lot type and manually click them to hire NPC workers.
Baristas will spawn on Cafe lots or, again, place the commercial coffee machine and grinder down and click to hire worker.
Is this site still being updated? I haven't seen anything regarding the new game & expansion pack but I love this site and miss reading Carl's guides!
It's not being updated currently. Carl has moved on to other projects to do with TS4. You can find out on his Patreon site the latest info as he is now making mods.
going back to your info regarding The Sims 3 mod for the Nvidia GT 1030 graphics card, do i install with just the base game added and THEN install 'adventures' ect, or will the add-on's data files overwrite your modifications ?
Are there any guides for cottage living? I didn't see any in the list
Thank you for all you do. I've never given you money, but I've referenced your site a few times and I appreciate the fact that you put that information out there for free. If I screw up and damage my game, I absolutely promise I will never ever blame you or send you a nasty message. You are appreciated by the silent simmers.
Love your site, I use it for everything sims related!! Do you have anything for the new 'infant' patch that the game came out with? I'd love to see everything that it offers.
Thank you for all that you have done with the sims 4 guide. Will you be updating this site with all the new stuff that has come out?
