Hello, hello! Today I bring you Version 4.1! It’s not a very big update, I only really changed Neighborhood Story Configurations for Every. Household. 

I’ll have a guide detailing it soon, but basically I just went through and turned off certain changes for certain families. For example, the Goth Family is not allowed to move out of their iconic home. Families where the parents are already Adults aren’t allowed to have babies. Lily and Victor Feng aren’t allowed to change careers. These are just some examples!

I’ve played around with the update a little. So far (with my changes) I had almost every homeless sim move in to a house on the second night, multiple unfortunate deaths (R.I.P. Mary-Sue 😔) and the Dreamer family adopted 2 kids. I also noticed Sims in relationships may get pregnant even if they aren’t living with their partner (Ilia Lobo got pregnant with Salim Benali). If some things seem too much, I may change them again.

And as always, let me know if you run into any issues or have any suggestions! It’s really hard to keep track of so many Sims now, haha. Thank you and I hope you enjoy!

It’s here! The Kookablarn Save File v3.1 is complete! This version adds Likes & Dislikes to every sim and some other CAS changes like taking advantage of the new hair colors, etc. The changes are detailed under the cut, but the Likes & Dislikes will be added to the profile pages!

I used at least 4 L&D points for everyone. I didn’t want to use too many, but a few sims did reach up to 16 points (they dislike a lot of things...). It made me really want hobbies that weren’t skill-based, like reading and watching TV, and also favorite food. Hopefully, the system will be expanded more in the future!

Looks like we’ll have a new Expansion pack coming very soon. Not sure if I’ll get it right away, but I’ll probably combine Paranormal, Dream Home Decorator, and the new Expansion for the 4.0 update. I still don’t have Paranormal or DHD. (Throwback Fit Kit is still up in the air).

As always, let me know if you run into any issues or have any suggestions! There’s a lot of sims in the file now and it’s starting to get a little hard to manage, haha! Thanks, everyone, hope you enjoy!

See? That didn’t take long at all! Yep, the next update for the Kookablarn Save File is ready! This version adds the Snowy Escape Expansion Pack, some very small changes like giving pets last names, and also the addition of Sentiments & Lifestyles! As always, the changes are detailed under the cut.

Now that I’m all caught up, I can finally take a break! I’ll still be sharing random trivia and working on the blog, but I don’t have any major updates planned unless we get new DLC, game-changing patches, or if there are any glaring issues.

Let me know if you find any issues and I hope you enjoy! :D

Hello, everyone! The next update to the Kookablarn Save File is out! In this version, I’ve added the Nifty Knitting Stuff Pack and Eco Lifestyle Expansion Pack and made other various changes including a few CAS changes, relationship changes, and gave some families pets! The changes will be detailed under the cut.

Heads up, I’m planning on getting Snowy Escape within the next two weeks, so if you want to wait for that update it shouldn’t be long. I was going to wait and do one big update, but I decided to go ahead and release this one for those who don’t have Snowy Escape yet.

Hope you all enjoy!

Version 1.1 is full of minor fixes, so feel free to skip it if you have the first version and it doesn’t affect your gameplay! These changes include moving urns into the family inventory, tweaking a few Sims in CAS, 1 club change, and a few other things. I’ll detail it under the cut if you’re interested.

The Ghostless Version:

(Why, yes, that is Jocasta Bachelor she’s yelling at!)

One of the goals for the project was to give everyone family trees. However, I realized a little late that The Sims 4 handles family trees and ghosts in a strange way. Ghosts stay in your relationship panel and if you try to delete them, they’ll be deleted from your family tree. Not ideal. But neither is having a bunch of dead family members clutter up your relationships. That’s why I decided to make a second version of the save file that removes the ghosts. Unfortunately, it also takes them out of the family trees. The graves and urns will still exist, but the ghosts will not appear.

The other reason is because of the culling. When you have too many sims, the game will start clearing them out from relationships to make space for more. It doesn’t help that the game is constantly spawning townies, either. Since I created so many ghosts to make family trees interesting, the game would delete friendships. Again, not ideal. I’m hoping the ghost-less version will combat that.

I didn’t remove every ghost! Some are too important to some families. You can see which ones are still around under the cut, if you’re interested.
