My Obsession With Sims 4

Since I realized I wouldn't be able to play World of Warcraft in 2021 due to my inability to afford a new computer, I have been trying out other games to play and fill it's spot with in my heart.  Don't worry, WoW will always be my favorite game.  I decided to give Sims 4 another chance.  So many packs had come out since I last tried, so why not try again?  Am I ever glad I did!  I have now learned how to build all sorts of building within the game, as well as how to play the game with actual sims.  I thought i would document some important things (important things to me) I am doing in the Sims 4.

The Gravestone Mod

June 26, 2023
Last month I discovered a mod called Release All Ghosts & Get Urn For, located at https://www.curseforge.com/sims4/mods/rsm-release-all-ghosts-get-urn-for.  It's an awesome mod by LittleMsSam & fixes the biggest reason I didn't like playing legacy play throughs. 

A lot of times Sims die off lot, which it won't generate an urn/gravestone for them.  The ghosts also stop showing up in family trees.  This mod changes all that.  You can click on any gravestone (I'm not sure n the urns yet) & get a new urn/gravestone for any passed Sim regardless if they are Sims or pets.   The family trees have also stopped 'disappearing' since I started playing with this mod.  It is nice to know you can figure out if that Sim that has your same last name is related to you or not & if so, how?

Wit this all being said,  I must admit I really have no urge to play with any of my families that I have 'saved' ghosts to keep the family tree alive in the strictest sense.  These families are as follows:  Stoddard, Theraphosidae, Caora, Roswell (it's on it's last generation so I might just finish it off), & Waterman (there was the thought I would continue once I got a better pc despite being done with NSB).  Howell may also be stopped, but I only have saved 1 generation of ghosts & I can 'delete' them if needed.
