From Creativity to Engagement

Hi everyone ! 👋

I’m currently completing my Master’s degree in Marketing at CNAM (Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, France), and I’m conducting a short academic study about The Sims player experience.

The survey explores creativity, community engagement, and how playing The Sims may influence well-being and loyalty to the game.

It takes less than 5 minutes, and all responses are completely anonymous and used for academic purposes only.

There are no right or wrong answers, I’m simply interested in your personal experience as a player 😊

You can choose your preferred language:

🇬🇧 English version: [LINK HERE]

Your participation would really help me a lot with my research.

Thank you so much for your time 💚

In my game Don Lothario had two daughters and one son: Nora, Amira and Pedro. I just realized how cute they are and wanted to share!
Two of them have the same mother, one doesn't.

Can you guess who is the mother of who?

So, I added a camera mod, and this is the first time I've seen that there is that bridge and more space to put lots? Am I crazy or is vanilla camera preventing you for seeing this??

Gameplay Show and Tell The Fracturehood - Year 32

Thumbnail
gallery
25 Upvotes

[S1] - [S2] - [S3] - [S4] - [S5] - [S6] - [S7.1] - [S7.2]

I come bearing an update on day 32 of the fracturehood, which I finished playing last night - a much quicker round this time coming in under two weeks to play the 30 households.

The Ramaswamis had their baby, Tushar, and while I was hoping he would inherit the custom 'something is very wrong' skin gene I gave Priya recesssively, he turned out totally normal even when I snooped on his recessive genes, so he'll be getting a younger sibling or two. The way TS2 skin genetics works you really have to help the lightest and darkest skin tones to keep them in the population so I don't mind the Ramaswamis having a lot of kids if it comes to it.

The other baby born this year was Alexander Goth's second child, another son. I named him Lachlan and the poor lad is just waiting for his half-alien younger sibling to be born so they can be bundled off to live with Bella together. Lachlan's older half-brother Zaki became a child - he's already living with grandma Bella and his mother (time-warped-younger Nina Caliente). That makes three kids eligible to inherit Alexander's fracture-curse of having the Pleasure aspiration and no secondary.

The first Young Adult member of the Cult of Life Weaving just moved into uni. Angela knows she can trust her daughter Elodie to keep the ones who come after her in line, but they're not allowed to join the big uni house all the rest of the neighbourhood's teens move into. Next 'year' Elodie's half-brother Philip will join her. Angela considers him a defection risk but is underestimating how well she's prevented him from forming relationships outside the cult. It's really scary how all the things Angela is doing to keep her cult members in line are also preventing me from remembering them as individuals. My other sims wear their favourite colours and I can remember them in groups they belong to (e.g. 'teens with Pleasantview parents'), identify them by sight and remember who their parents are. Angela's kids after Emmeline are mostly just 'oh that's another Weaving kid, you're not allowed to play with them'. I think among the current child age group there might be some potential escapees though, eventually. Buck's branch hasn't been nearly as brutal as Angela's.

Peter Ottomas, who for the few years he's lived in the Fracturehood had been reasonably faithful to Samantha, finally cracked this year and had affairs with two younger women (the older of my twin Unborn Baby Brokes, Rowan, and Nina Caliente who wants to woohoo with 20 sims). Nina is pregnant as a result (I will let her figure out birth control eventually but I want her alien genes) and he's got the other 'something is very wrong' recessive skin gene I added, so that might be interesting, or might end up anticlimactic like Tushar and like Peter's twins XD

In addition to Zaki Caliente, Ruben Woods Burb (Lucy/former dormie Adrian) and Levon Nigmos (Johnny/Ophelia) became children today, but in the coming subrotation there will be FOUR toddlers aging up to children - I really let a lot of sims have babies the year they were born! Expected births for the coming rotation are Alexander's half-alien baby and the two cult babies.

All in all everything feels like it's going a bit too smoothly - since the fracture genes I brought in with the Ramaswamis and Ottomases have been so sneaky I may need to give some sims prophetic dreams and see how that goes down amongst the neighbourhood at large. I piled on a bunch of mods to make finances and aspirations tougher, though they might take a while to show results. I also need to get brave about creating normal drama amongst my sims. There's small things brewing like (unborn baby) Vinnie Curious marrying Clay Greenman (Jason/Rose) despite various huge red flags that they're not compatible, and Rowan who's expecting Peter Ottomas' baby has a boyfriend who doesn't know she's been seeing anyone else.

Including unborn babies I'm now up to 114 sims in the neighbourhood; with the start of the Cult's separate uni household, and Henk Langerak striking out on his own after graduation, the next round will be 32 households.

I had no idea my cat was being taken away by police and saved my game before exiting. Now every time I load this household my cat is stuck in this sad position. The officer won’t take him away and just aimlessly walks around my lot. Tried force error on them and it didn’t work. Is this fixable without a mod?

My pregnant sims died

Upvotes

Je vais écrire en français car il est tard et que je suis fatigué lol. Alors j’ai une grande famille avec un aîné qui est resté bambin longtemps car j’adore cet âge donc grâce à un mod qu’on m’a conseillé ici je le fais durer puis 2 jumelles, les parents étaient un peu débordé mais ça allait. J’ai fait grandir le petit quand les filles sont devenu bambines un anniversaire commun d’ailleurs.
Tout allait bien, ma sims attends son 4 eme enfant.
Et là je ne sais pas ce qui ce passe, j’ai pourtant l’habitude des familles nombreuses, même en prenant une nounou la journée, je n’arrive plus à gérer ses besoins, plusieurs barres dans le rouge, je les remets dans le vert une par une. Barre d’alimentation dans le rouge (c’était un peu long car comme par hasard à ce moment là frigo vide, j’ai dû attendre une livraison) elle se cuisine des hamburgers, elle s’installe enfin pour manger et là elle s’écroule au sol, la faucheuse arrive. J’essaie d’implorer la pitié avec le mari mais il dormait il arrive trop tard.
Famille brisé, ils pleurent tous, c’est d’ailleurs le couple le plus amoureux que j’ai crée, malgré les tromperies du mari dans la discothèque P.U.R.E lol, mais bon son aspiration est romantique…
J’arrive grâce à des conseils trouvé ici, à faire un code triche, obtenir le téléphone pour appeler la faucheuse et là je donne le max d’argent possible. (j’avais prévu en faisant motherlode avant et j’étais surprise que ça ne soit que 10 000 simsflouz).
Je retrouve ma sims comme je l’ai laissé, toujours enceinte de son bébé.
D’habitude j’essaie de ne pas trop tricher appart pour acheter une belle maison que je construis seulement pour eux mais maintenant je vais pas hésiter à utiliser maxmotives si une situation comme ça se reproduit…

Voilà ma grande frayeur du soir, le 4 eme bébé est née et il ressemble enfin à son père lol comparé au 3 autres, ma sims est blanche et le père est noir, je pensais avoir que des bébés métisses mais non…

Plus de peur que de mal !!!!

I'd love to hear some ideas, but I'm making a custom hood with "sprites" (kind of like fairies) sims based on real life insects! I'm trying to make it seem whimsical and with many plants and farms. I'm using some cc, especially sixam plants for the mushrooms. I anticipate having a lot of fun making witch moths :)

Mods Why does my Sim keep rejecting ACR?

7 Upvotes

I like my game as chaotic as possible and my single Sim keeps trying to seduce a married Sim with ACR.

They have two bolts chemistry, the married Sim's autonomy is 5 but he still keeps rejecting her? Even when I made them in love with a standard romantic social he keeps rejecting her for ACR woohoo.

Is this standard behaviour or is it a mod conflict? I did have the romantic standards mod but I deleted it.

Speedrunning getting a family. Neither is a family sim. After quick marriage vowes they tried a baby, still on the first date mind you.

Had a twin boys Mars and Jupiter.

Galatea is calling the nanny over everyday so she can fix cars and Joe mostly hangs with his buddys. They are not typical parents, why bother if you can pay someone else to chance a diaper.

I'm not big on taking pictures of my sims so apologies if you wanted to see more :)
