Why not download a house from the gallery and redecorate it? Better yet, search for the hashtag shell or empty and find homes which already have no furniture in them to decorate to your liking. Give the Pancakes' house a pool. Go into the Landgraab home and update it with some of the swankier furniture from the Vintage Glamour or Get Famous packs! See how faithful of a version you can come up with. You can also use The Sims 4 as a tool to design your place in real life; try laying out the floor plan of your home, and move or add new furniture and see if you can redecorate your home virtually before changing things up in real life!

I love building community lots for my Sims games. Build a new gym, library, museum, or whatever you think your town needs! I created this "Celebrity Events Center" for my game and uploaded it to the gallery recently. I use it in my game for my celebrity Sims to host meet and greets. Game Packs and Expansion Packs add the most change to your game; everything from new life states and creatures Vampires, Pets to new changes in every day gameplay Seasons, Get Together.

The Sims games have always had user-created challenges, and The Sims 4 is no exception. Why not try The Sims 4 History Challenge? Or the Black Widow Challenge? Or The Generations Challenge? Coolnickyd- YouTube.

Finally, why not use some modifications in your game and spice things up? Mods are user-created content which change modify your normal gameplay. You can add hundreds of new careers, new foods and skills, become a mermaid or witch and more, through the use of mods. Answer: Likely not, unfortunately.

None of the previous Sims console games supported Mods. We definitely need more pets, though. And then when they grow to young adults i let the twins explore uni together.

In my opinion, Elders can be a pretty boring life stage if you play wants-based like me. Elder Sims are done having children, may be done with their careers, and may even have an empty nest.

In their golden years, I have my elders work on mastering their hobbies. You can see my hobby and sub-hobby system for The Sims 2 in this post. They can also work on maxing out hobby-related skills such as creativity and logic. They could also create for other Sims.

A Sim with the painting hobby and a maxed creativity skill can create paintings for family members as gifts. When I play the Goth household in Pleasantview, I always have Mortimer who has a maxed cooking skill stock the fridge with as many high quality meals as possible for the family to eat after he dies.

They can live on his Turkey for weeks! When I play the Oldie family in Pleasantview, the first thing I do is have them adopt a child to raise. Having elders adopt a needy child or teen gives them a new purpose in life and makes the household more fun in my opinion. You get a new round of age-ups and milestones, plus new opportunities for your elders to teach the child and influence their behavior. If my elders are closer to the end of their lives, I have them adopt teens.

You can use this mod to enable teen and townie adoption. It also allows you to choose the gender of your adopted child or teen. Elders have usually amassed quite a bit of knowledge and may be very good at their hobbies by now.

They can start a business to sell their creations — paintings, sculptures, etc. Or, they can sell produce from a garden or start a restaurant or bakery.

Playing Open for Business with elder shopkeepers keeps them busy and gives them something useful to do. Instead of playing your elders on speed 3 and praying for death, open a shop! Elder Family Sims — like Coral Oldie — often really enjoy breeding animals and roll wants to get new pets frequently.

To start, I have them adopt a male and female of whatever pet they want — small dog, large dog, or cat. I just wait for the elder in question to roll a want for a puppy or kitten and go with that.

If you want to speed things up, adopt adult animals instead of babies. Next, I befriend the pets, get them to befriend each other, and start breeding. Another possibility is having your elders move in with their adult children as free babysitters and housekeepers. For example, you could move the Oldies in with Mary-Sue and Daniel Pleasant, using their starting money to build them a little cottage in the back or remodel the house to make room for them.

Elders can provide free childcare and help with chores while the adults focus on their careers, hobbies, having children, etc. Just combine them with more interesting Sims and give them a background role. Some Simmers prefer to move Lilith in with the Oldies instead. Traveling to the Bon Voyage worlds is something else I frequently do with elders. They have the time and the money to spend on vacations in their later years.

You could come up with all sorts of story possibilities here. Pun intended. I always have a retirement home in my neighborhood that I fill with townie elders. I prefer my playable elders to stay in their own homes until their family members can inherit the house, but I have considered putting the Oldies in a home with other elders to make them more interesting — and give them something to do.
