sims in bloom legacy - gen 1 DAISY #1

POL: Juliana Daisy jest prostą dziewczyną ze wsi, która od zawsze marzyła o swoim małym ogródku, aż w końcu jej marzenie się ziściło. Po przybyciu do Herdford on Bagley postanowiła się przeprowadzić do małego domku na polanie przy małym wiejskim potoku. W każdym bądź razie okazało się, że oprócz tylko sadzenia roślin postanowiła prowadzić małe gospodarstwo które ograniczało się tylko do kur i jajek.

ENG: Juliana Daisy is a simple country girl who has always dreamed of having her own little garden, and finally her dream came true. Upon arriving in Herdford on Bagley, she decided to move to a small cottage in a clearing by the small village creek. Anyway, it turned out that apart from just planting plants, she decided to run a small farm, which was limited only to chickens and eggs.

POL: Juliana po tygodniu postanowiła, że pójdzie sobie na spacer w okolicy, żeby poznać nowych ludzi i okolice i pozachwycać się naturą. na swojej drodze w labiryncie spotkała przyjaciela z dzieciństwa z dawnego miasta mianowicie Alexandra Wendt'a, który jak się okazało mieszka kilka domów dalej w wiosce u stóp potoku. Juliana będąc rozgadaną osobą szybko nawiązała stary kontakt z dawnym przyjacielem i razem postanowili dokończyć ten dzień razem chodząc w labiryncie i po parkach podziwiając okolice.

ENG: After a week, Juliana decided to go for a walk in the area to meet new people and the area and admire nature. on her way through the labyrinth she met a childhood friend from the old town, namely Alexander Wendt, who, as it turned out, lives a few houses away in a village at the foot of the stream. Juliana being a talkative person quickly made old contact with an old friend and together they decided to finish the day together walking in the maze and in the parks admiring the surroundings.

The Sims 4: New Game Patch (October 22nd, 2024)

There is a new (huge) game update for The Sims 4, preparing the game for the upcoming Life & Death Expansion Pack and bringing several bug fixes.

If you have auto updates enabled in Origin’s “Application Settings”, the game will auto-update once you open Origin. If you have auto-updates disabled, you will need to manually update by clicking the game in your library.Advertisement

To ensure your game is up to date, check the game version found in Documents > EA > The Sims 4 > GameVersion.txt. Your game should now read: PC/Mac: 1.110.265 / Console: 2.01

Update 10/22/2024

Boo-tiful Changes Await!

Sul Sul, spoopy Simmers and specters! This Halloween season, we're summoning delightful surprises alongside the release of The Sims 4 Life & Death Expansion Pack. A hauntingly huge thank you to those special ghouls who took time to report issues via Answers HQ.

Prepare for a ghostly array of fixes and updates. No tricks, just spectral treats!

What’s New in The Sims 4 ?

Base Game Updates

Sims will react uniquely to others' deaths based on traits and relationships. Experience everything from sobbing for a loved one passing to retching at a stranger’s death.

The Sims 4: New Game Patch (October 22nd, 2024)

Ghosts can now be created in Create a Sim for Child through Elder ages.

After passing on, Ghost Sims gain a new set of needs in place of the classic, living Sims ones: including Goo Waste, Ethereal Sustenance, Otherworldly Slumber, Spooky Diversions, Ethereal Bonding, and Apparition Cleansing.

At the moment of death, Sims are now given the option to “Become a Playable Ghost“ or “Become a Freeroaming Ghost.“

Upon the death of a marriage partner, two married Sims will no longer be married, they'll be widowed. However, there is a new interaction that will allow them to “Ask to Stay Married“ so they can reinstate their marriage status.

Sims can WooHoo with the Grim Reaper again.

Improved autonomous ghosts behavior such as reducing the frequency of ghosts breaking things and creating annoying ghost 'byproducts', i.e. puddles.

Added a new Outdoor picture category in Build Mode called “Life Event Activity“ to help players find content for Funerals, Weddings, and more.

Infant, Toddler, Child Sims taken by Social Workers go to Household Menu in Manage Worlds, rather than being deleted.

Added a new bonfire object called the Fieldstone Bonfire Pit to Base Game.

There is an option on Gravestones/Urns to manually swap to the other one whether you are indoors or outdoors. Before it would always auto-change when brought in or taken out.

We added 10 new “true black“ color variants to 10 different BG Shoes:

(ymShoes_AnkleOxford)

(yfShoes_AnkleBoots)

(yfShoes_PumpsLow)

(ymShoes_SneakersSlipOn)

(yfShoes_PumpsHighPointed)

(ymShoes_OxfordFringe)

(ymShoes_AnkleCombat)

(yfShoes_AnkleBootsCuffed)

(yfShoes_PumpsHighOpenAsym)

(yfShoes_PumpsMediumOpenJewel)

New Base Game Content That’s Cross-Pack Compatible

If you have Get to Work (Aliens), Vampires, Werewolves, Realm of Magic (Spellcasters), Island Living (Merfolks) or the upcoming Life & Death Expansion Pack, you can click on a Sim’s urn or gravestone to choose from a selection of which gravestones to use. That Sim who wasn’t a Vampire but was a little too obsessed with Vampires? Yeah, they can rest eternally with a bat-themed gravestone now.

There is now a Merfolk Urn and Tombstone for players with Island Living.

Players can swap occults while in Create a Sim if they have the necessary occult packs. This doesn’t remove progress on a Sim that’s currently being created (within reason).

Players can create Elder Dog, Cat, & Horse Ghosts in Create a Sim with the Cats & Dogs or Horse Ranch Expansions.

⚠️ ADVISORY: Malicious Mods, Identity Theft, Malware, and You ⚠️

(2/11/2024 update - this was written on Feb 8, 2024, and new information has come out since then. Will write a follow-up post as soon as I can! Been busy with work and life stuff, sorry!) New TL;DR: download @twistedmexi's ModGuard [link and explanation here], and continue to stick to trusted download sources.

(2/16/2024 update - new post with current information: uloelu on Tumblr: ⚠️ 2/16/2024 - Mod Malware update, and a personal thank you ⚠️)

Hey, all! Not sure how many people will see this, but if you do, please reblog. This is a 'little' post regarding a potentially big problem affecting the Sims 4 community. If you download mods/CC at all (and yes I know CC is a type of mod), this applies to you.

TL;DR: For the sake of your personal info, identity, bank account, et cetera, please STOP downloading any mods/CC for the time being. Especially from the following sites: CurseForge, ModTheSims, The Sims Resource. It doesn't matter if you know the creator or not. Give it at least a week while we all figure out what's going on. If you must, I would recommend only downloading directly from a creator's Patreon (assuming they have one).

Other people have written at length about the mods in question, so I'll just share their posts below.

What's going on?

From the Sims 4 After Dark Discord server (a server you should join if you're not in it already):

⚠️ ADVISORY: Malicious Mods, Identity Theft, Malware, And You ⚠️

⚠️If you downloaded any mod listed in the above post and played the game with them installed, this is the cleaner program Kuttoe (creator of the Home Regions and Townie Demographics mods) mentioned in their post: GitHub - overwolf/sims4-social-events-cleaner: Source files and exe release for a tool to clean up your machine if you have downloaded the "Social Events - Unlimited Time" Sims 4 mod ⚠️

Got confirmation from Kuttoe that as long as you didn't boot up the game with the malicious mods installed (or deleted them completely from your computer before playing the game), you *should* be fine. Still, I recommend that anyone who thinks they might have downloaded any of them run the cleaner program.

Here's an explanation from @anadius2 (reposted by Kuttoe) in the Sims 4 After Dark server (not providing a link to prevent brigading or spam, but you can DM me and I'll give you the link) about what the malware will do to your computer:

And a little dive into the back-end coding stuff for the more tech-savvy Simmers out there:

So, to recap:

Fake mods were uploaded to Curseforge, ModTheSims, and The Sims Resource

@msqsimsofficial had their account compromised on 2 of those sites (they are a victim of hacking, so do not send them hate!)

If downloaded, these malicious mods have the ability to steal very sensitive info (your passwords, credit card info if saved somewhere in your browser, data)

As of right now, antivirus software may not be able to detect the malware

Mac and Linux users seem to be safe; Windows users are the ones that could be affected

Why is this happening?

Unsure. Lots of theories are being made by people far more knowledgeable than me, but from the looks of things, could be crypto bullshit and/or an attempt to steal your data and sell it. This is very, very serious, and could wreck your life if said data/personal info falls into the wrong hands.

Identity Theft: What It Is, How to Prevent It, Warning Signs and Tips - NerdWallet

It's always a good idea to change passwords every couple of months or so, but if you think you've been affected, you also need to change your passwords for things like online banking, email and social media accounts, healthcare sites AFTER running the cleaner.

What now?

I want to talk about how we approach modding our games and downloading files in general.

Please STOP downloading mod file folders from people who did not create the specific mods. Period. This includes Sim dumps, building/lots with CC, mod folders promoted on YouTube, etc. This does not mean that anyone sharing them is doing so maliciously. In fact, I appreciate the amount of effort people put into compiling these resources! But unless you're super careful (and super knowledgeable), you run the risk of downloading malware like this on your computer. Make no mistake, the malicious files in question look like run-of-the-mill, everyday mods. Two of them were even posted from a trustworthy creator's actual account! The only way to know what they actually do is to peek into the code, and idk about you, but I don't know Python. So even after this issue is resolved, you really should only download files from the creators themselves.

But what about CC shopping?

Here's how I like to approach it: I stick to lookbooks and combing through the Patreons/accounts of creators who make items I like. If I see a Sim dump with CC that I'm interested, I try to reach out to the poster and ask where they got specific CC. If I can't do that, I see if it was shared via Drive, look at the individual files themselves, then head to the original CC creator's official download page and get it from the source.

That's all I have for you! Stay safe, and happy Simming! 🫶🏾
