Thanks for this! This will be very helpful when creating a new legacy town in...the empty town. I always use that one to personalize it, but coming up with so many families to fill it is challenging.

Brilliant work. This will be fun just to see what comes up. There are a couple mods available to give players sexual orientation controls for the sims, one great one is by PolarBearSims. With your thoughtful inclusion, I can really make some magic. Searching "gender" or "gender preferences" in the main search on MTS leads to some fab mods to assist with fuller gender and sex spectrums, including a pregnancy option in which a sim can become AND make others pregnant. I'd love to see that incorporated if a patch fix was ever in the future for this mod. ;) Since I can't seem to figure out how to let gender and sex expressions be randomized in the main game settings for sims and all my sims are automatically stuck to binary unless I change them, I can now use the magic of this darling invention to work around my computer and human brains' biases and make it a better simverse for all. Thanks for expanding and improving gameplay! Can't wait to try this out. Great job.

Update: February 9, 2018: updated for patch PC 1.39.74.1020 / Mac 1.39.74.1220, which added 10 new skin tones. The new version has a small code update to account for the increased amount of skins, and the skin icons are updated to match the post patch situation. The skins considered unnaturals are now numbers 27 through 35. Note: the new skintones were added in the middle of the swatch in the game, so if you use the old version of this randomizer, the numbers given in the icons no longer correspond to the order of the swatch. By redownloading, you can avoid this inconvenience, as well as randomize between all the skins currently in the game.

Hi,

Like most content shared here on MTS, the randomizer is a rar archive, which you first need to extract. If you're not familiar with that, there's a tutorial here for that. After that, it's easy: you should get a folder, and inside that folder there's a file with the ending ".html". Double click on it, and it should open in your default web browser.

I hope that helps!

Update: May 29, 2018: fixed a bug that caused the "previously existing" option within the gender preference feature to be disregarded and the gender selected always being female with this option selected.

Thank you so much for creating this little program. I remember using the sims 2 version of this and I'm glad you recreated it for sims 4.
I'm really happy about all the options you made available. Now almost every combination is possible.

I have two questions.
- Is this updated for seasons? The gardening career and flower arranging skill seem to be missing.
- I don't know if you take suggestions into account. I think it would be useful to have an option to randomize for tattoos under the appearance section. I tend to forget giving my sims a tattoo.

Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying the tool! To answer your questions:

- It's not yet updated for Seasons. I hope to get to do so, but so far I haven't been able to find the icon for the Gardening career. I don't have the pack so I can't extract/screenshot it myself. If you happen to know of, say an icon collection where it's included, I'd be happy to hear about it.
- Thanks for the suggestion! I'll try to remember to look into it when next updating and see if I can find a suitable icon for the feature. I do think it sounds like a nice addition.

(As a side note, I do like having all these icons, but finding the new ones is a pain sometimes.)

Thank you for your kind words!

Thanks for answering. Whether or not you get to update your program, it still is a nice addition to the sims4.

For pack icons I think these might be helpful.

Hi there!

Normally, they should Just Work, but depending on the software that you use to extract the RAR, it might mess up your folder structure (I know it happened on my sister's Mac). When you've extracted the package, go check the folder the randomizer is in. If the icon files are in that same folder, the randomizer can't find them there. Make a subfolder called "images" (without the quotes) and move all the icons there, that should make the code find them. I hope that helps!

Just downloaded the new one for season, and I dont have any icons too. This is my third time updating this and I have used it many times, have always had the icons show up so I dont think its how I unzipped. Going to try and download again, but maybe this is an issue that others are having too?? Kind of hard to use this way.

Updated- Third download and they showed up. Didn't do anything different. Didn't change anything, same browser etc. Not sure why it didn't work before. I guess if you have the issue, just try re downloading.

Cant wait to get the Famous updated!! Thanks for sharing your hard work with everyone. :lovestruc :lovestruc

Hi Selarono,

Thanks for the info! I was aware of the problem I talked about above, with some unpacking programs putting the icons in the wrong place, but this one I hadn't heard about. It sounds like the whole thing didin't download properly the first two times, then. Anyway, thanks! Now if someone else has this problem I know to suggest redowloading.

Oh yeah, Get Famous. Ahem. Sorry you guys are having to wait so long for that. I was aware that there's a new pack that probably needs updating for, but real life has been pretty busy lately and also it's the dark time of the year and my energy levels aren't too great. I'll look into it in the weekend, if it's quick to update I might have time for it then, but if not the worst case scenario is after the holidays. Sorry and thank you for your patience! I'm glad you're enjoying the tool!

Update: January 13, 2019: updated for the Get Famous pack, which added two new Aspirations, two Skills, two Careers (one teen ”Career” and one regular one) and one Trait.

I'm sorry this one took so long! Real life has gotten in the way a bit and I've been lacking in energy, but here it finally is. It seems to be working alright, but if you notice anything odd, please let me know and I'll look into it. (If you're having trouble with the images, there's some suggestions earlier in this thread.)
