Xmiramira’s “petty” trait takes the “petty” concept - which she describes as “truly, the definition of a hot mess” - and makes it a playable option.

Xmiramira’s creations have ranged from the celebrated “ Melanin Pack” offering vibrant skin tones to behavior mods and traits that take a page from Black slang and pop culture. SheSpeaksSimlish, EbonixSims, and Xmiramira are notable Sims modders that gained popularity because they decided to fill the community’s need. So Black girl gamers decided to take matters into their own hands and began to create in-game items and mods on their own. The Sims 4 is meant to be a life simulator, but feedback from the community pointed to the overwhelming reception that Black girl gamers weren’t seeing their life reflected. The base game’s hairstyles - an important point of creativity or expression for Black girl ‘simmers’ - were few and far between, and those that were available lacked nuanced details. They lacked the cartoonish vibrancy of the lighter skins available. In the latest Sims, Sims 4, some Black players across message boards and social media criticized the darker skin tones in the game as unflattering, grey, or ashy. Despite all this freedom, Black gamers still found themselves left wanting. You can kill your sims in progressively stranger ways (because, at some point, we’ve all put our sims in a pool and removed the ladder to observe as nature takes its course). Whether that’s toward success - through wealth, fame, family, popularity, a stylish vampire coven, or unbeatable cooking skills - or death. Players have a great deal of freedom to guide their sims in whatever way they wish. The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.Your sim pays their bills, cleans themselves, eats, and remembers if they had a sour social interaction with another sim. Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work).Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up.Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave).Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually).If it still works, you can start putting stuff back. If it works, put back your save game and try again.

Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game).

Just make sure to not delete any files and make a backup.Īfter renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin. Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: Hi issue is usually due to custom skins or custom skins removed.
