Hey party people! I just want to point out that yes, I did use 40 seconds of onlyabidoang's footage and less than 20 seconds of XFreezerBunnyX's and Petey Plays It's. I have the links to their videos down below ⬇️ Please go check them out and support them! They are wonderful and awesome

The Sims 4 has been a fan favourite since it's launch in 2014. Since then there has been (about to be) 10 expansion packs, 9 game packs, and 17 stuff packs released. That's a lot of content! So, there's gotta be a few features some players may have forgotten about. I certainly forget about these from time to time, too.

Here are 20 things you didn't know you could do in Sims 4. This includes, first person mode, to the grilled cheese aspiration, to changing the colour of your phone; there are just so many forgotten features in The Sims 4!

I, for one, did not know about holding shift and being able to extend one side of the roof! I wish I knew about this Sims 4 feature waaaaay earlier!! Like comeee onnnnnnnn. Who would have guessed there were so many things you didn't know you could do in The Sims 4.

What did you learn? Let me know in the comments if you learned something new or what you already knew about all of these often forgotten features!

  • @lesierras

    I only recently found out that if you view the 'Tragic Clown' painting then sometimes the actual Tragic Clown will show up at your house!!
  • coming into this video: I've seen 10 other videos like this, no way I don't know all of these! After the video: AUTO WINdOWS!!!!
  • @Renikee
    I love how the postcards are from the Sims 3 worlds (or maybe from Sims 2 and 1 too, I don't know, I never played those games. But I could see Bridgeport, Moonlight Falls and Appalosa Plains.)
  • @marviac.4860
    That “Memory” system would be so good is instead of just inheriting the mood, it inherited a specific moodlet from the screenshot… like if wedding had “recently married” happy 10+ moodlet, sim reminiscing would get a “remembering marriagw” happy 8+ moodlet
  • @moveslikemacca
    pressing F5 in build/buy mode let's you move objects on the grid a quarter square at a time (rather than half)
  • I just want the ability to have multiple CAS traits like in TS3. :/ I hate that ‘Vegetarian’ has to take up one of the three trait spots.
  • @makynnagrace
    THE PEN PALS USED TO BE MY FAVORITE THING EVER. I WANTED ONE SO BAD WHEN I WAS YOUNGER😭😭😭 yes i lived vicariously through the sims
  • @francis7336
    I didn't know thst you could teach children how to swim My familys never get a pool, that'd be unrealistic to me xD
  • @HughLlewellyn
    I knew all of the above, but I'll be linking this video to some newbie friends who will love learning these things.:) Did you know that if you set a bed as head, other sims can woohoo in it? hehe All the postcards are from Sims 3 locations. :) You can also use Set As Head to retrieve things the game has spawned just outside your lot. You can't select them, but you CAN set them as head. Then just walk back into your lot and reset your sim to put the object on your lot. Did you know that you can use trash fruits to fertilize your garden or for bait when fishing? I once evolved my entire garden up to Perfect by fertilizing with just trash fruit. I did it with just one trash plant. They spawn six fruits a day, so I got all I needed from just the one. :D Did you know that if a trash plant sprouts outside the boundary of your lot, you won't be able to select it to delete it, but if your sim is at least 5th level in gardening, you can take two cuttings from it in a row, and it will kill it. This actually works on any plant. When I was trying to complete my plants collection a few years ago, I couldn't find Grow Fruit trees, because they were only available during a challenge from back in 2016. (This was before Seasons came out and you could get them from a rare seed packet, or kiosk with City Living, and I didn't want to use debug. Too cheaty. haha.) However, I read that they'd been all over the park in Willow Creek during the challenge. So I used the two cuttings in a row method of killing plants in the wild, to slaughter all the plants I could find in the park, to force the game to spawn new plants... and since the old Grow Fruit spawners were still there, eventually the park spawned a few Grow Fruit trees. A few days later I was able to harvest them. :)
