How to Get Rid of Ghosts in Sims 4 (MC Command Center Mod)

Hi all!!!

In my Sims 4 Ultimate Sim Challenge, my Sim has lived for a long time, and a lot of her friends and acquaintances have died.  Unfortunately, these relationships are not culled automatically by the game, so she has ended up with a bunch of ghosts in her friends list, and she cannot interact with them.  So, I have started using a mod called MC Command Center to help clear them out of her list.

But, the mod has so much to it that I thought I would also share some of the other things I will be using it for.  (Mainly, getting the Sims to stop autonomously getting drinks of water.  That drives me crazy!)

So, I made I quick video doing an overview of the mod.  If you would like a more in-depth video, or if there is anything else you would like for me to record, please do let me know!

Thanks for watching!

Sims 3 - Farm Life Challenge Rules

Hi all!  I had a request from a viewer to type up the "rules" for my farm life challenge, which I am doing in the Sims 3.  So, I am listing them below.  Please feel free to comment below if you have any questions.

You can watch this challenge on my SockBunnySims YouTube channel.  ;)

Also, I am making this up as I go along, so all rules are subject to "interpretation." ;)

Sims 3 Farm Life Challenge "Rules"

Goal:  Live off of farming and fishing and then eventually buy and move into Grandpa's Grove (which costs around $180K simoleans)

*  Create any sim in any neighborhood you like.
*  DO NOT give them traits that would make them better at farming or cooking.  So, do not give them green thumb, angler, or natural cook.  Other than that, any traits are fine.
*  You can have any aspiration you want.  I chose one related to gardening.
*  I personally am playing this challenge with only the base game, Seasons expansion pack (to make gardening and fishing and being outdoors more of a challenge), Town Life stuff pack (because I like the laundromat), and the Katy Perry stuff pack (because I am obsessed with it hahaha).
*  Cheats can only be used for glitches.
*  Mods are okay as long as they don't give you an advantage.
*  You must wait until your second year to get married.  But, the person can move in with you before that.
*  You cannot have any children until after the first year.

Money
*  You can move into any house/lot you want, but money cheats are not allowed.  You do not have to set your funds to zero, unless you want to make it more challenging.
*  Your spouse can have any job, or they can just help out on the farm.  You can marry for money, but that will make it less of a challenge, in my opinion.  If you marry someone rich, you could always set family funds back to whatever it was before you got married.
*  Your children cannot have jobs.  They can only make money through gardening or fishing (or selling gems, bugs, etc.).
*  No selling flowers for money.
*  It is okay to sell the following for money:  rocks/gems, insects, suns from the Plants vs. Zombie dancing sunflower, plants, seeds, fish, eggs, honey, milk, etc.
*  If you have a consignment store, you can only buy things there.  No selling.
*  If you want a car, you can steal one (if you are a kleptomaniac), or you can make one with the Classically Cool Fixer-Upper car,  But you can't sell the fixer upper cars for money.  You can make as many as you want for family members, too.  If someone moves in with you, and they already have a car (or space ship!), you can keep it.
*  Playing the lottery is okay.  It is not okay to go to the future and look up winning numbers, however, if you have Into the Future.
*  Dumpster diving is okay.
*  Going to the junkyard and getting scraps is okay.  You can bring items home from the junkyard, too, since that is glitched and you can't make money from it.
*  If you find a money tree seed, you can plant it and grow the money tree for money.

Lifespan
*  You can use life fruit and the spa to make yourself younger if you want.
*  It is okay to have a death flower and use it.
*  You can play the challenge as one sim or as a generational challenge, whichever you prefer.

Farming
*  You can create a garden in your town to go harvest from.  To make it more challenging, do not use a greenhouse on public lots.
*  You can harvest plants in the neighborhood to get started, or you can buy from the grocery store.
*  You can create a greenhouse on your own lot.
*  You can buy the tractor whenever you can afford it.
*  If you have the Ambitions expansion pack, you can become a self-employed gardener or angler.
*  You can own the following to make money from them:  cows, chickens, bees.
*  If you have the Pets expansion pack, you can raise horses for money.
*  You can use the SwiftGro Gardening Station on your lot.
*  You can buy and sell with the Fruit and Veggie Stand.

Skills
*  Reading skill books is okay, even on the multitab.
*  Listening to tabcasts is not okay.
*  Earning skills with the TV and radio are fine.

Let me know what questions you have!

If you decide to do this challenge, I would love to hear from you!

And, thanks for coming to visit my blog. ;)

Sims 4 - 10-Gen Challenge - S03E01 - New Baby!

Hi everyone!  We are starting a new season in my 10-generation challenge.  My only "rule" is that the heir that we will follow into the next generation has to have red hair.  Other than that, we can play the game however we want.

Marty was the original founder.  He had a red-headed daughter who is Agatha (generation two).  Agatha had TRIPLETS, who all had red hair, so we followed the eldest twin, who is Brian (generation three).  Now we are working on generation four.

Since Chip in not a redhead, he is not the "heir with the hair," so we are going to keep having babies until we have a redhead.

I am loving this "challenge," and I hope you are, too!

Hi all!  Welcome back to the Ultimate Sim challenge.  In today's episode, we explore frog breeding in a little more depth.  Also, Danielle tries her hand at dating again.

Do you make notes to yourself when you play?  I actually keep a little notebook and plenty of sticky notes on my desk just for playing the Sims. ;)

Sims 4 Ultimate Sim S01E07 New Neighbors

Hello and welcome back to my Sims 4 Ultimate Sim Challenge.  In this episode, we get to meet our new neighbors who just moved in across the street:  Tina, Shannon, and Kimberly.  We get to see their new home, too!

Danielle continues to pursue the Serial Romantic aspiration with Prince.  I go into a little detail about how to do frog breeding in Sims 4.  If you want a more in-depth description, I recommend checking out Carl's Sims Guide on the topic. ;)

Really Pink House Build (Walkthrough) - Sims 4

Hi all!

This house build is dedicated to two of my cool YouTube friends, Shannon and Tina.  All three of us are knitters, and we also all make Sims YouTube videos (and their links are below).  So, I thought it would be fun if all three of us lived together in a house that I built, and I also made us all sisters.

This house and family were created by me for my Ultimate Sim Challenge, where I am challenging myself to create an entire Sims 4 world from scratch.

You can download it from the gallery and use it in your game.  I would love to hear from you, if you do that!

I really hope you enjoy this house build as much as I did!

Neon Lounge - Sims 4 Speed Build

Howdy, y'all!  I have a fun speed build here, which I did for my Sims 4 Ultimate Sim challenge.  (I am trying to create an entire Sims 4 world from scratch.)

This is my first lounge, and it is really bright and pretty.  If you are not fond of pink, you can always recolor it after you download it.

I put in showers downstairs, a hot tub, three bars, musical instruments, and a microphone.  Also, there is a bedroom upstairs for when your Sim needs a place to crash at night.

You can find my stuff in the Sims 4 gallery under the user ID SockBunny66.

Thanks for watching and downloading!

Sims 4 Ultimate Sim S01 E06 First Date

Hello, and welcome back to my Sims 4 Ultimate Sim challenge!  

In this episode, Danielle has her first date with Prince.  On a lot with only a shower, a tent, and a toilet. Ha!  He must be a very tolerant person.

Also, she finally has enough money to get a computer, so she won't have to spend all of her time at the fire station. That should make life easier for her (and for me!) from now on.... Theoretically, anyway.

If you enjoy the video, please "like" it and subscribe to my YouTube channel.

SockBunny's "Sim 4 Ultimate Sim" Rules

Hi Everyone! I have recorded and uploaded the first episode of my Sims 4 Ultimate Sim Challenge.  Thanks for watching it! ;)

I want to thank llandros09 for introducing me to the idea of this kind of let's play. If you haven't watched his YouTube channel, you definitely should! He knows the game better than anyone I know of! Here's the link to his channel if you want to watch him.

I am not following anyone else's preset rules for this challenge. I am making it up myself, and my "rules" are below. Feel free to comment if you have any suggestions for fun things to do in the challenge. Also, let me know if there are specific community lots, residential lots, or families that you would like for me to create for this challenge.

SockBunny's Ultimate Sim Rules:

1. Sim has to reach the top of all careers. Each career will be one season, so there will be at least 23 seasons.

2. Sim will eventually own three retail lots and a restaurant. Cannot sell them.

3. Sim will live forever, and everyone else will age. Buy the potion with aspiration reward points.

4. Complete all skills, aspirations, collections.

5. Complete as many achievements as possible.

6. No cheats unless something crazy happens.

7. Might get a mod to help with ghosts or story progression, but I want to test it on my laptop first.

8. Must keep all career rewards. (attic or basement)

9. I am doing this, but you don't have to, of course: Empty the town of people and buildings. Build up the town from scratch.

10. Make all lots generic until you build on them, except the chalet, ancient ruins, island bluff.

11. Must keep all collectibles until you have duplicates, which then can be sold.

I have created a fire station for her to visit and live in the first few sim days. Here is the speed build video, and you can download the lot in the Sims 4 gallery.  My ID on the gallery is SockBunny66.

I have already built a hospital, and you can also find it in the Sims 4 gallery.  Below is my speed build video.

The next episode of Ultimate Sim will be up on Saturday, August 11.  Please subscribe to my YouTube channel for notifications when I upload videos.  Thanks, and have a great weekend!
