Tomorrow night I’ll begin with coverage of Spellcasters. We learned a good bit about their Magic Charge system, spells, curses and alchemy among other things. The magic charge system is not a typical mana pool, but rather a meter reflecting how much energy your Sim has acc***ulated from harnessing magic. Build up too much of this energy, and you put your Sim’s life at risk. However being overcharged can be beneficial. When a Sim is in overcharge mode, their spells may have a more potent effect but also have a higher failure rate. This sort of reflects their need to control the magical energy they’re attempting to use. Perks can help you to manage your Spellcaster’s charge meter. Don’t overdo it! When a Sim’s Charge Meter is at full and you cast another spell, there’s a chance your Sim will explode in energy. However, familiars can be there for you. One of their purposes is the ability to absorb a killing blow. They can only do this every so often, however, and taking another while they are on cooldown is likely to be fatal. A minor criticism (or questions) I have about this system is: exactly when is this going to be useful? Are other magic users going to be attempting to kill me? Or is it only to protect me from my own excesses, using magic to tidy up and conjure up a roast turkey. Spells Three sages – masters of their own magic school – can help teach your Sim spells. In “magic HQ” they are denoted by symbols like this one. Sims can learn spells in several ways. You can win them in duels, forcing your opponent to teach you something. You can also scour the library of the magic realm’s main building, dubbed “Magic HQ” by Maxis where you might find a dusty tome with a spell you don’t know. You can buy them at a store or just ask nicely of one of the sages. They’re more likely to accept if you’re on friendly terms. A Sim uses a teleport spell in The Sims 4 Realm of Magic Gameplay Trailer Curses Having one of your spells backfire, you can pick up a curse. This is mildly reminiscent of the Fame Quirks system of Get Famous, only not so based on actions. Curses stick with your Sim permanently if you do nothing, but there are at least two ways to cure them that we know of – craft a potion or use a spell that specifically removes curses. Alchemy Sims can work together to make potions faster. Up to four may work on a cauldron at one time. There are 15 total potion recipes to learn, and vendors in town will happily sell you ingredients – even rare ones – like death flower. Potions don’t seem to take a lot of ingredients but it does limit the player’s capacity to craft them. Using a cauldron, up to four Sims can work together to create a potion faster. However if something goes wrong they may all take a hit – in the livestream, both Sims got knocked out when something went wrong. More to Come I have lots more to share and will work on pages for the various systems over the weekend. While info will be spa**** (and based almost entirely on the livestream) I will fill it out with full spell lists and info on familiars, potions and playing a spellcaster in general starting on Monday. Tutorial: Using The Sims 4’s New Stair Customization ToolSeptember 6, 2019 Using the New Stair Customization Tool in The Sims 4 New Staircase Tool – Sims 4 Maxis Monthly Livestream RecapSeptember 3, 2019 Click to head to my Youtube video on the new Maxis Monthly and see the stair tools in action. Today was the September 2019 Maxis Monthly, in celebration of the fifth anniversary of The Sims 4. Players on PC/Mac will receive the following on September 5, while console players will be getting it in a few weeks, most likely. A video version of the guide is Available here: Maxis Monthly September 2019 Livestream Summary We started with build/buy a***ets – a new gnome drink holder table, frosted gla*** end-tables and lounge chairs for base game players. These were currently only available to players who owned Island Living. These new planters are very nice, and snap together so you can make walls of them to decorate the outside (or inside) of your home. Lighted fencing posts add a little glow to night-time on the deck, and angled lights can be used to illuminate parts of the house. Items like this picnic table and new chairs have Sims-y patterns but do include regular, everyday looks so that you don’t grow sick of the plumbob patterns. Sims can finally dress their Sims in traditional Muslim garb, with hijab for women and men getting kufi. The hijab is not connected to the outfit this Sim is wearing, but will rather go with any outfit. We a***ume it’s kind of a ‘hat’. Next up was a new staircase tool. This is going to let you use the dongles to drag stairs into segmented blocks with turns and T-intersections however you see fit. You can go absolutely crazy with this thing, and it showed when SimGuruGraham later pulled up a house that had incorporated it extensively. Sims apparently pathfind on these just fine. Finally, Arab inspired architecture was shown – new open archways, double doors and middle-eastern themed windows all feature heavily on this house that also has that plaster wall look. Someone tell me exactly what you’d call this if you feel so inclined. Feeding Sims and How to Best Manage Hunger During Pregnancy The Gourmet Cooking skill is the answer. Seriously. You know, that skill that you never have your sims learn because who can be bothered, right? Well, turns out is more useful than you probably think. Specifically, the Epic Meal moodlet that unlocks at L7 of the Gourmet Cooking skill. The Epic Meal moodlet reduces hunger decline by 20% for the duration of the moodlet which makes a noticeable difference. Basically, it means that Hunger hardly decreases at all for that 6 hours that the Epic Meal moodlet lasts. So, your sims stay full with an almost nonexistent hunger decline for 6 hours. That’s 6 hours of being full and with the added bonus of a Happy +3 mood. This is a huge help for sims as a normal part of your game play, good for working sims who disappear off-lot into a rabbit-hole career, great for an active career and for taking your sims out and about off the home lot as they will stay almost completely full and happy for 6 hours. Then only once the moodlet goes does their hunger start to decline at the usual rate. The best use of this Epic Meal moodlet must be managing your pregnant sims needs. A pregnant sim will stay full for those 6 hours of the moodlets duration with only a very slight drain on the Hunger bar allowing you to manage their Bladder and Energy needs much easier. Leveling up Gourmet Cooking skill is easy and if you do it right, it wont take much more than a sim day. To start you’ll level up the Cooking Skill to level 5 where the Gourmet Cooking skill unlocks. Do this by always choosing the highest level food type each time, using the Homey Lot Trait and by keeping your sim Very Inspired. Easy methods for staying Very Inspired is to Cloud Gaze and then have a few seash***** around the kitchen with their auras enabled. These methods are pack dependent (Outdoor Retreat and Island Living) but there are many items in the game and many other methods for getting and staying Inspired. Once your sim hits Level 7 of the Gourmet Cooking style any excellent gourmet recipe will give the Epic Food moodlet. Once your sim has the moodlet don’t eat another meal of lesser quality or the Epic Meal moodlet will go and your sims Hunger drain will start again. Upcoming Sims News & 10 Years in The Game This week has been bittersweet. The guide and our forum turned 10 years old, as did my relations***p with The Sims. As we tried to honor that day given our community has fostered many friends***ps, I was buried in server issues that many of you may have noticed early Sunday morning (US). Thankfully I believe I have the troubling issues fixed. Though we may have a few more bumps, I don’t expect anything to be that bad (but then I didn’t in the first place). Regardless we are at the moment quite ready to cover Realm of Magic and excited to get the chance. The news system is going to help a lot with that, and it’s set to light up a bit this week. Tuesday we have the Sims 4’s fifth anniversary acknowledgment and will have new objects and CAS a***ets coming to the game for all players. I’ll be covering that in a video guide, and I’ll also make a post here about what’s added so check back if you’re interested. Friday The Sims team will be doing a livestream of The Sims 4 Realm of Magic, as well: Save the date! Join us on Friday, September 6th @ 11AM PT for our #TheSims4 Realm of Magic Livestream w/ hosts, @SimGuruRomeo and @SimGuruNinja! We will uncover all the secrets and mysteries that Glimmerbrook has to offer. ✨https://t.co/scyPeyjn0f— Wizenheimer (@SimGuruFrost) August 26, 2019 We learned there’s a new death, and I’m looking forward to seeing how that plays out! It’s also possible for Sims who pursue spellcasting to overmax and learn every one of the pack’s 24 spells. We will do a thorough coverage of Realm of Magic on the evening of the 6th to summarize all the other tidbits we learn, and I’ll be sure to share some here as well for people who don’t like videos. I apologize for the rockiness this past week, but do think we are in a better place now that some necessary improvements are in play. So hey that’s something. The best part is I picked up plenty of new tricks that save me time and let me do unique things on the site. When we build up enough articles, we’ll be enabling people to browse all the posts about a particular topic so things will be well organized and, if we succeed, very helpful. How Useful Is Fruitcake?August 30, 2019 If your sim likes Fruitcake, it is actually pretty useful. Fruitcake on the first bite gives a Happy+2 moodlet that lasts 4 hours. It only takes sims 4 bites to complete the serving making it a pretty fast meal to eat and fills around 3/4 of the Hunger bar. The most useful feature of Fruitcake is that it never spoils and so is one of the easiest and best foods to have in a sims inventory. Perfect for eating away from the home lot. Top up your sims Hunger bar with a few harvestables and your sim will be full and Happy. To get your sim to like Fruitcake, without cheating, is easy but can take some patience. Simply get your sims Homestyle Cooking Skill to Level 5 then the ability to cook a Gourmet meal unlocks. Fruitcake is a Level 1 recipe. With the use of the Homey Lot Trait this is easily and quickly done in your sims first day in a new save. Of course, if you save your Welcome Wagon Fruitcake then having to cook your own can wait. Save your game before your sim takes a slice. If your sim likes Fruitcake, there’s nothing more to do so save your game to lock in the Hidden Trait of liking Fruitcake and continue playing. If your sim does not like Fruitcake on the first taste quite without saving. Delete the localthumbcache.package file from your TheSims4 folder and hop back into your game. Repeat this until your sim receives the positive moodlet indicating that they now like Fruitcake. If you want to use cheats to make your sim like Fruitcake. Enable ‘testingcheats on’ then type: ‘traits.equip_trait trait_hidden_likes_fruitcake’ and press enter.

My Sims Wiki & Guide Projects I diversify my gaming diet, and have written on t**les such as The Sims 3, Civilization 5 (covering nearly every gameplay concept in detail), a Skyrim Guide (with writing on perks and skills, such as Alchemy, Enchanting, and Smithing). I love to pick games apart and learn how they work. To tide me over until Sims expansions are announced, I've taken up writing a No Man's Sky Guide, featuring a full walkthrough of the first few hours and I'm also working on a site for the indie hit Stardew Valley, a relaxing farming rpg simulation with pixel graphics. I've written on the game's 5 major skills: Combat, Farming, Fis***ng, Foraging, and Mining. As the game is updated by its lone developer I'll provide more content! My second current side project is for Fallout 4, along with its Far Harbor and Nuka World DLC. Fallout 4 is an RPG/shooter for mature players with deep character build customization, great gunplay, Settlements you can build, stealth, and strategic elements via its Vats targeting system.

There's no great place to put a personal thank you to all my readers, so I'll do it here. I'm grateful to have such a following and to get to help so many people with The Sims for the past 6 years. The success of the site has encouraged me to continue to work on writing for games. It changed my life. Thank you for visiting, and I hope you find what you need here. There is always more to be done given how many little things are in this game, patch changes, and life in general, so bear with me and one day we'll have everything major covered on the site :)I waited to do this because too many guides were missing early on, but now comments are open. Adding the comments section allows users to get help from myself and other readers, in combination with our Sims Forum. You can share the little bits of info that don't quite belong in a guide but may be still useful to others. Of course, even I don't know everything, but by sharing info we can all get a little more enjoyment out of the game.Thank you for reading, your encouragement, and enthusiasm, Simmers.

Look under the heading 'Wands and Magic Hands' for directions to where to find wands in TS3 Witches Guide The Sims 34th January 2019 7:18pm 17 1 NewReekyteekPosts: 5 Likes: 10 Since: Mar 2019 Reekyteek says... Hi Carl,First of all thank you so much for making the best sim's resource ever. I found your video on raising super sim kids especially helpful. I have been working on the super sim challenge started by James Turner on YouTube aka. The Sim Supply. I have a sim couple who I have worked through almost every aspiration, job, and skill in the game. Just finis***ng up vampires, about to start on strangerville, need to catch up on the new careers available from the patch, and haven't got to island living. During this time I have raised about 20 super kids, and I have found they are now learning at an extraordinary rate. With the buffs from child and toddlerhood achievements, being in a club meeting, and being in the presence of her parents who can both mentor her and who can provide the Successful Parental Presence buff, my teenage sim cooked one level one gourmet dish (a fruitcake) while her dad danced in the kitchen to provide the parental buffs, and she maxed her gourmet cooking skill from 0 to 10. I feel like this needs to be more widely known. These stacked buffs are insane. They are game changers. I have my super sims couple up on the gallery along with some of the skilled up kids and I can load up more of them if you want to test out the mechanics.

I also realized part of the stacked buffs comes from being a vampire with the child of the moon trait.23rd June 2019 9:38pm 0 AdminPlayalotPosts: 3228 Likes: 1989 Since: Jan 2016 Top PosterMost LikesPlayalot says... Hi, sadly this sounds like a bug that is in the game since Game Update: 6/18/2019 – PC 1.52.100.1020 / Mac 1.52.100.1220.23rd June 2019 10:27pm 0 2 NewPatPosts: 2 Likes: 6 Since: Jun 2018 Pat says... I can no longer get edge scrolling even when I use the full screen cheat23rd June 2019 11:18pm 6 AdminPlayalotPosts: 3228 Likes: 1989 Since: Jan 2016 Top PosterMost LikesPlayalot says... Not sure why you would use a cheat for full screen when you can just change that setting in the Options Menu>Game Options>Graphics settings. Make sure you have Edge Scrolling checked in the settings. Options Menu>Game Options>Game Camera.Edge scrolling is working for me so I can only a***ume that it is incorrect settings or perhaps a mod that has broken this ability for you.24th June 2019 9:23pm 2 1 NewOl'Man SimmerPosts: 1 Likes: 10 Since: Dec 2019 Ol'Man Simmer says...

Hi Carl, I’ve been a fan of your guides for a long time, you always go very in depth and give more information about anything than any other guide or youtuber. I’ve recently noticed that Sims with a higher fitness skill seem to gain weight far slower than Sims with a low fitness skill. I’ve done a few tests by placing two identical Sims, who both have 0 fat and 0 muscle in a household (with the traits good, outgoing and cheerful, just random traits that wont affect anything) cheating a level 10 fitness skill to one of them and having them both eat 5 cakes, the sim with 0 fitness always ends up at the maximum weight, whereas the Sim with a high fitness skill only gains a small amount of weight, if any at all. I was wondering if you could verify this and maybe include it in your guides.I wasn’t exactly sure where to contact you, so I hope that just commenting this here works.29th February 2020 7:58pm 2 0 NewAlinePosts: 1 Likes: 7 Since: Mar 2020 Aline says...
