Disabling Seasions But Keeping its Stuff - Want to disable weather or make plants in season year-round? You can do so with my new Seasons Tuner Mod
Improving Sims 4: The past month, I've spent every day tinkering The Sims 4, making quality of life improvements, gameplay changes, and new difficulty settings for the game. If you'd like to learn more about my project, visit the post on Patreon where you can download it now.
The Sims 4 Romantic Garden Stuff pack is the sixth stuff pack released for The Sims 4.
In the Library, you will find a brand new community lot from Maxis called The Lost Garden of Healing. The garden showcases many of the new objects in Romantic Garden Stuff, including the Whispering Wishing Well and the Fountain of Gluteus Maximus.
The Whispering Wishing Well is a powerful object, capable of radically changing your Sims' lives for good or ill. The results are random but can be somewhat influenced by the well's mood:
Clicking on the well brings up the following menu:
If you have the Testing Cheats turned on, there are two more options when Shift-clicking on the well:
When presenting an offer to the well, your Sim can offer $100, $1,000 or $5,000 Simoleons. Making a larger offering can influence the well's mood to be more positive. When the well is Happy, the odds of a positive outcome are increased, but there is still no guarantee.
Clicking on Make a wish brings up the possible wishes your Sim can make. Some wishes are only available to certain age groups. See the table below the wish menu for more information.
A Sim cannot make another wish for approximately 8 hours.
Once a wish is made, the well's eyes glow and the wish is fulfilled. The color of the glow signals the type of result the Sim receives. The table below contains a list of all the possible outcomes for each type of wish.
