EQ's Random Gameplay Stuff

Did not know ... or had forgotten ... Toddlers can Talk to Babies

Toddlers? I did not know that either. Any children in the family seem to be fascinated with a baby.

There is a recent glitch with Sims standing on random pieces of furniture.
The workarounds did not work but traveling to another lot did the trick.
While frustrating why not have a bit of fun?
I invite you to share your screenshots of Sims standing on random furniture.

I did not know toddlers could talk to the newborns

and...oh my! I haven't had this type of glitch happen! I wonder what is causing that?

 One theory about the standing on furniture glitch is it could be related to Cats and Dogs EP or the patch before it.
The game might be reading the slots (on furniture) where a Cat could sit as somewhere a Sim could stand.

Wish I could duplicate this on a new Sim.
This is Nancy Grace created and shared by me last March (2017).

Recently I decided to put Nancy in a new save. I was checking her outfits and trying different hairstyles when I found this.

She was created originally as a regular Sim. No vampire or alien DNA used. I have no idea how she got pointed ears but I like it.
Unfortunately I cannot recreate these ears on a new Sim.
Edit to add: Never had any Mods or Custom Content in Sims 4

Trying out a new challenge still being developed.

Toddler Britta was born in game.

Britta is growing fast and went thru a "I am a Bear" phase.

Love Nancy's ears! Wonder how she got them.

The new challenge sounds cool. Glad you are posting your progress and such here.

Maybe because her hair covered her ears? But I do not recall noticing them being pointed when she was created.
I played thru the Wasteland Challenge up to the day before Britta's Young Adult birthday.
Learned a new trick using clubs to gain skills. I am quoting what I shared in the thread.

Quote :

The key is a Family Club. Her parents started a family club with just the two of them. By running the club all the time they gained enough points to add skill bonuses. Once Britta became a child she was added to the club. It is time to age up to Teen and W0W! Wait til you see what she has gained by being in the club!
Setting the Club Vibe to Focused is especially helpful for school. Start the Club and select a member and choose Set Club Vibe (under Club options). As long as the club is running the Children/Teens will stay focused while at school. Just discovered that in this save.
*Another Tip: Remove the Child/Teen from the club and End the Club meeting before celebrating their birthday. That will avoid any glitches when they age up.

Britta awaits the release of part two of the Wasteland Challenge.
Until then the birthday celebration is on hold.

The main goal of part one of the Wasteland challenge is to complete the Super Parent Aspiration.
For the longest while Britta only had enough credit to have two of the required three Character Values.
It was touch and go but right at the last minute Britta came thru.

From the Archeology skill:
"Level 2 - Study Art and Artifacts for Historical Insights interactions allow you to gain more archaeology skill in a way that doesn't involve getting dirty. Study for Historical Insights can make your Sim focused about 50% of the time."

My first run thru of the Wasteland Challenge was {to me} a disastrous train wreck.
Applying what I learned I started a fresh save. This time around the Irons household had a boy named Rusty.
Rusty completed two of the four child aspirations and maxed all the child skills.
This was especially funny ...
SoulGal7 is playing the Asylum challenge. In her story Survive the Insanity a pile of dishes was being carried from place to place and never really got washed.

Quote :

Oh wait! I think I see another sim through the window. Why yes, it’s Rocky. It looks like Rocky is taking the dirty dishes for a walk because he just goes from room to room holding the pile of dishes. He never does wash them. I guess he “air dried” them.

Survive the Insanity: Day 3 – Is There A Doctor In the House? – Happy Hollow Asylum

This is really HARD!

Oh and let me introduce you all to Rusty Irons.
He insisted on the hair and make-up.
Rusty chose to join the Tinkers since he already had a head start on Logic (Maxed) and Handiness skills. He also has some Rocket Science skills from Homework School Projects.

Quote :

-Tinkers have a very strict schedule.

This is one of my biggest challenges.Not impossible but I tend to lose tract of time and may have strayed outside the schedule. *Ahem*

Looking at this pic I actually think kids jumping on beds should be a gameplay feature!!

Great photo!

Jumping on the bed is such a typical 'kid thing' it really should happen in The Sims  
The bug picture - those eyes were just too good not to share.

  This kid was generated by the game  
I have seen some pretty strange names but this one is really "Humerous".

Finally remembered to track down this family and found something interesting.
Humerous has a sister named Scapula. Their father & mother are Kal C.M. & Ulna.
If you ever explores the Jungle Adventures temples you may recognize these as the names of the skeletons encountered there.
