Growing Together New Sims 4 Expansion Pack

Image
There is a new expansion pack in town and low and behold it is, you guessed it, Generations . Well the Sims 4 team is calling it Growing Together , and now it makes you question what the heck is the purpose of the Parenthood game pack now that they have finally released generations.  You gotta hand it to EA though. The grift is real. They took the Generations EP in The Sims 3 and split it into six, yes 6, you heard me, six different packs. As they say, don't hate the player hate the game. Parenthood Game Pack   Kids Stuff Pack Toddler Stuff Pack Backyard Stuff Pack Highschool Years Expansion Pack My Wedding Stories Game Pack Growing Together Expansion Pack In the Sims 3 Generations cost $40. But in the Sims 4 it will cost you $150 since an EP cost $40, GP cost $20 and a SP cost $10. That's a whopping $110 more than you would've spent in the sims 3 - don't hate the player, hate the game, because EA has taken grift to a whole 'nother level. But don't take

Growing Together With Father Winter's Babies

Image
Meet the Families There are eight families that have newborns or toddlers. Each of them ready to expand their generations and grow together as a community. The Roommates June Kay and Missy Roomie have purchased their first house in Willow Creek. A small 2 bedroom 1 bath ranch on a 20x15 lot on a canal in the Foundry Cove neighborhood. This working class neighborhood in southern Willow Creek is perfect for young families and young adults just starting their career.  June and Missy grew up in the same neighborhood in the big city. They moved to Willow Creek for Missy's job at the local lounge. Missy felt she could make a bigger mark for herself in a smaller town as a musician, than competing against all of the talent in the big city. And her gamble may pay off; as the ladies threw an epic holiday party that completely woke up sleepy little Willow Creek. But June got more than she bargained when she discovered Father Winter left more than a gift under the tree. Growing Together Foll

New Sims Series - Father Winter's Babies

Image
Hey Y'all. In 2019 I started a sims series called Father Winter's Babies. I recorded the first three episodes in October 2019. I planned the series primarily because I was curious what a sim baby with Father Winter would be like. What traits and abilities would they have as they grew up. Honestly, I still don't know the answer to that question since I stopped playing the save after I noticed that the videos I was making weren't getting any views in 2021. And on top of that the Sims forum was really toxic. People were sabotaging my channel by down voting my videos and reporting them. I guess haters are gonna hate. Why I Stopped Recording Since it takes so long to play, record, and edit videos and I wasn't getting a return on the investment of my time, I stopped playing. However, with the  new Infants update and Growing Together expansion pack coming out, I figured it would be great to play this save since it is a pretty vanilla game and will give me a chance to play

Mod Fixes Sims 4 Gardening Bug

Image
Every time the Sims team upgrades the Sims 4 base game they break gardening. This time all plants return to the mound state so you can't harvest your garden or mature your plants. And you can't do herbalism either. It is a nightmare.  Little Ms Sam created a small mod that fixes this bug. You can download the mod from The LMS4 Random Bug Fixes page. It is called the Gardening Work Around Fix .

Show Us Your Builds - Willow Creek

 World Map While playing the Sims 4, undoubtedly the world map has changed from the first time you played. That is true for me in many of my builds. I am a hybrid player. I love to build in the game, but I also enjoy playing. So my builds are typically for sims to live in or enjoy as a community lot. #SimTested Updated Willow Creek The map above is Willow Creek in my latest save BlueBoi Family.  I created the BlueBoi Family to play test my builds in my build world save. I just started a series of building homes from this Home Builder book I purchased over a decade ago. When I play tested the residential lots I built, I fell in love with the family and decided to play them. I saved the family to the gallery and then opened my Base Game save file which has my customized lots, families and clubs in it and plopped them into it, and then resaved it as a new save. This will be my new generations save.  Generations My first generations save, the Landgraabs, was lost June 2019 when a bumbleh

Video Series Moving to New Channel

 Hey Everyone, The two new video series that were announced this year: Renee Reads, and Moment of Zen will be migrating over to my Tanya Owens Designs channel.  The content will complement that channel well and it will allow me to build out a robust channel and subscriber base. Tanya Owens Designs is growing faster with more subscribers and eyes on the content, where as T-Logic Productions is not growing as fast. This is a win-win for both channels. Stay Tuned!
