[@ninaandianfan21]

Well for me it seems to be Direx 11 or whatever 9 does not work which is how I basically lost my mind because everybody told me it was 9 xD

FUN FACT: there's no need to write "true/false" or "on/off" at the end of the cheat code. You''ll enable or disable just by entering the code.

[@DavidVenters]

fun fact i bdy you do some odd sh*t because youve always done it and its the way YOU want to do it

[@HiEmmaNicole]

UPDATE ABOUT INSTALLING RESHADE: Sims players using NVIDIA and AMD GPUs will now automatically default to Sims DirectX 11. Therefore your ReShade (likely installed using DX9) will not work anymore and need to be installed again! OR if you haven't installed Reshade yet - make sure to select the DirectX 11 option instead!

[@Simventure77]

There isn't a DX11 option when I've installed reshade. I even went back to their website and I have the newest version.

[@Simventure77]

For now I've been using DX9 because I'd rather have reshade then play on DX11 without it.

[@kayaikinci9855]

I knew every single tip here but still watched the video😅

[@HiEmmaNicole]

Yay! Thank you😅

[@ms.lady.diamond]

Ditto lol

[@sohshaa]

Major advice I would give people new to CC and mods is to NOT pile them all together in the mods folder only unless they are script. If it is .package files please do right by yourself and organize your CC into different folders and categories within the mods folder. Like at least keep CAS CC in one folder and keep Build CC in a separate folder (still inside the mods folder) If it you want to organize a little more you can keep going at least 4 or 5 folders deep with Package files. Trust me, when stuff starts to glitch, break, or if you just want to keep track of what you have and what needs updating you will be happy.

[@HiEmmaNicole]

This is all great advice!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@samaxe1998]

I waited sooo long to do this and recently just spent like 3 hours sorting them all. I made folders for creators I had a ton of stuff from, and then everything else was sorted specifically like “female hair” “dress” “make up” “build” “sliders” Now I have to weed out the broken CC mods I have, but at least it will be much easier to find omg.

[@russiansuccubus8259]

Mine are extremely sorted. Haha. I have a subfolder for everything. 😅

[@aethden]

Me, the person who has every CC piled up together in the CC folder 😶

[@sabrinafruci4454]

That's sooo true! I once had them all together, and this one time my game woukdn't launch, I was trying my best dividing the content to see what needed to be removed, but I had so much stuff that I just gave up at some point and deleted every CC and mod I had. Now CC shopping sessions has become shorter so I download less stuff at a time so that it is easier to keep the folder organized. And I'm so glad for those creators who put their names on the thumbnail of the cas/build-buy element so that it is even much easier to remove a content that is no longer working, really time saver and a lot less stressful!

[@SecretPheonix]

Wait why does the sims4 camera even exist its so limited haha i switched it to 3 as soon as i got it and forgot about 4 😂

[@simtulipan]

This is the perfect video for newbies I wished I had 4 years ago. I knew all of this stuff but still watched it😂

[@jluvjl1423]

Thank you for this , I’ve been intimidated to use reshade but u made it very easy. Thanks loved the video

[@Juii5m]

Playing with console but still watching to see you ^^ love you

[@markabele8794]

I've started following this channel, Emma Nicole. This video is very informative. Thanks for sharing.

[@SouthernAngelsStamping]

I have done it all but the reshade is scary 😱 for me. That’s a bit over my head 😂 But I would love to have a clearer picture of my game with better colors 😊

[@heg203]

You should try the More CAS Columns mod!

[@Paige.harris90]

Your videos are absolutely amazing ❤ I love them sooooo much😊❤❤

[@HiEmmaNicole]

Thank you so much!!

[@francy99fb]

I wish I’d watched a few videos on how to work sims 3 camera when I first downloaded the game, I previously only played sims 1 so everything was new to me (even though I watched a lot of gameplays), so by default I learned to use sims 4 camera and now the 3 is so hard do manage, I tried it a few times but I feel like I lack control 😢

[@anarcher-78]

Hi Emma. This is such a good video! Thank you. Also, I miss your streams on Twitch. 💖

[@miaaclark]

Absolutely love watching your videos! I really want to start a KZbin/TikTok! Just so nervous you inspire me so much thank you ❤ I will use your code to get life and death!

[@HiEmmaNicole]

Awww this is so nice thank you so much!! You absolutely should start a channel, your future self will be SO glad you did. You got this!! 💚

[@lovelyviruz]

Still watching despite being a console player :)

[@LivelysReport]

You know when your playing your game right when you add all kinds of Sims 4 You Tube creators to your game, like Emma Nicole.. TeeHee!!

[@JJJTRIPLEJJJ]

Very bold of you to name the video this way. Maybe include words that the targeted audience would search because the video title gave me a click bait vibe so I almost had your channel not show up on my home feed. Perhaps CAS slider guide can be helpful for beginners? I know that some people don't get to explore the CAS sliders and preset options because it's not explained at any point of the game. Tip for that is don't trust the thumbnail and some sliders can only be accessed from the side or back.

[@niahniah123]

I’m sure she watches her engagement data and chooses her titles accordingly

[@JJJTRIPLEJJJ]

@@niahniah123 Personally I find it difficult to assume the title "You're playing the Sims wrong" to be the result of user engagement analysis. Denying audiences' personal experience with sims 4, a game with one of the most loyal fan bases, is a truly interesting choice that may result in losing possible engagement.

[@VIDEOMarcela]

The title is not the only searchable thing in the video, if you look at the tags there's literally a "Sims 4 beginner" tag. Saying she's denying users the experience because of a title is just so weird. There's tons of other videos about this stuff too.

[@JJJTRIPLEJJJ]

@@VIDEOMarcela I am having a hard time to see how can a sentence "You are doing ~ wrong" be anything but denying the legitimacy of one's experience. Do enlighten me how else is that sentence supposed to work in any other ways because as far as I know, it would be "weird" to mean anything else. If you believe that the click bait title is great because others use it, good for you. I explained my experience that the title made the video less desirable and made constructive feedback in case she might be able to make use of it. If it's not useful information for her, that's fine, she can ignore it and I will just not have her channel seen. It is fascinating that you felt the need to jump in and defend the title by claiming it's weird of me to digest the written language as what it means.

[@thiccwalrus5602]

@@JJJTRIPLEJJJits not that serious bro

[@Simventure77]

Question about reshade and DX11. You said to choose DX11 when installing resahde but I've been using reshade for a while and when I've tried to update it there isn't a option for DX11 when I go to install it in my computer. So I'm still playing sims 4 on DX9 because I cant live ve without reshade lol. How did you install reshade on DX11?

[@keirajalaya]

The unorganized mods folder actually hurt my soul😭😭😭

[@SenileSimmer]

I've tried reshade, but it's so bright it hurts my eyes and gives me a headache, so unfortunately I'm stuck in the dark. 😢

[@Simventure77]

Try pumpkin pie by softpine. It's dark and cozy. I was having the same problem until I found it . If you need to see what it looks like before you install I have a sims youtube channel and my past several videos are recorded using that reshade

[@gromit0299]

So I installed according to the instructions, but I'm not getting a pop up, do you recommend any other tutorials to help with that? I know there are tons, but I'd go with something someone recommends. Thank you for this tutorial.

[@mauricebarnett6107]

I’m confused? Sam’s video is for installing. GShade which is not Reshade so I’m not sure that’s helpful? I need someone to explain this to me as if this is my first day on the planet because I don’t get it LOL.

[@katherineauber]

They work the same , like I have had both and installing them both is almost identical. Actually gshade runs off of reshade

[@kathyazzari839]

When I use the Sims 3 camera in live mode, my Sims panel and needs are no longer visible or selectable. So, I can move around and watch my Sims, but I can't control them at all. I have to switch to Sims 4 to play. But that doesn't seem to be the case for you. What am I missing?

[@Bey0a]

Hi are the reshade you used in the video are compatible with Mac? I have been really wanting Reshade but I don't know if they are working on Mac EDIT: hi can you pls reply? I will really appreciate it I don’t mean to put pressure on you but it will definitely help me! Love your videos:)

[@katherineauber]

Yes you can use reshade on Mac ,it’s gshade that you can’t use.

[@Bey0a]

@@katherineauber really?? That’s new information to me, thanks

[@Bey0a]

@@katherineauberjust asking dose it require any other program if u know? I’m kinda worried about ruining my Mac like that

[@katherineauber]

@@Bey0a no it doesn’t , you just need the reshade program. Watch a video on it here on YT , the game runs on dx11 now so you install for dx11.

[@Bey0a]

@@katherineauber uh! Thank u sm I will try that

[@PvtSalt]

First,thank you for this video! I’ve been wanting to add reshade to my game for a while now, & had previously tried GShade but it was an ultimate fail. This was a bit more successful. But…are you using other effects for better lighting and whatnot? I ask because while I noticed a slight difference in vibrancy, I didn’t really see a huge difference in the way my game looked.

[@sue426]

I would love if you would do a video on how to UNinstall mods, cc and saved files please ❤ I have downloaded too much and some dont work anymore. I wonder if I can just delete these files or there is a safer process

[@alwaysroni8110]

@sue426 You can always delete mods you don’t use anymore or mods that need updating. It’s important to always delete the localthumbcache and avatarcache out of your mods folder before restarting your game if you do add or delete any mods or cc. Those cache files hold old info and can cause issues if not deleted. Don’t worry your game will generate a fresh cache file each time.

[@melodiedbt]

Hi ! I just have a little question, do you know the alternative of when you hold down your mouse wheel when you use the sims 3 camera for when we don't have a mouse ? I have a laptop but i don't have a mouse yet (sorry for my english, its not my 1st language)

[@VinikaBarkhuizen]

Thank for the tips will you do the disney princess challenge again

[@snurfbee58]

Why does the alt key never work for me when I try to move clutter? 😢 It works fine with other objects. Love all the other tips!

[@charismaticalpaca6874]

When placing items on surfaces, like tables/dressers/counters etc, items will automatically snap to one of a set number of "slots" that exist on the surface. To place clutter with the alt key, you need to use a cheat. Google "how to freely move clutter Sims 4" for lots of tutorials on how to do this specifically!

[@SouthernAngelsStamping]

There is a mod forgot who made it but I have had it so long that it keeps all those cheat codes in for me😊 The other day I restarted my game and no mods were in totally forgotten how it looked different without them😂 I went for MC and forgot it wasn’t in there 😢 That’s a big mod but then just so many little mods I have and they were not in my game. Tried to play for a while without them and I hated it😂 I have used mods for way too long to go back now 😮😂❤
