Well, I had a dream last night about someone writing fanfic about Seth and Sarah that made me happy. So I reckon my resolution is to write something again. Doesn't have to be involved or a lot, like maybe just some Surreal Darkness short little bits with scenery pics, but something.
Also to write the thing for @fireflys-locket. :)
I tag @silverspringsimmer, @changingplumbob, @simminnikas, and I don't know, anyone who hasn't been tagged yet who wants to do it. :)
Thank you so much for the tag @medleymisty ❤️
My simblr goal for 2025 is to fill the queue with the most interesting and diverse sim photoshoots, edits, and gifs that I can only think of (at least one post per day), and so far I have it scheduled almost till May 2025. Wish me luck with the rest! 😊 Although it's also fun, not a "chore" or anything. It makes me really happy. Can’t wait for you guys to be able to see it all!

First of all, reading your resolutions is inspiring. What a nice idea 🤭
Big stuff upcoming irl this year, I'm afraid I won't be much present either 🥲 so I'd say, my resolution is to stop feeling guilty I can't share much content this year. Even though I've been thinking abt SOTO a bit, and would love to pick it up from where I left it.
Hopefully I find the time and energy 🤗

Would love to hear yours friends <33 also feel free to ignore, bet you've been tagged before 😂
Thanks for the tag! Honestly, in 2025, I'd like to do a soft reboot of my Tumblr and post once in a while rather than just passively shadow other blogs. I miss the silly fun in playing the game, creating stories, and editing screenshots. Sometimes I worry that in all the big life moves and decisions, I've forgotten how to just enjoy myself... Time to rectify that.

I know, I know, it’s been literal ages since I posted, but the new expansion has reinvigorated my interest in the game, so here goes...
Praksyda is my introverted farmer, who has been branching out socially, looking for someone to settled down with. Let’s say that the search has been rather thorough.
Epiphany of the day.
Bit by bit, Praksyda got the garden in order. She initially thought that the weeding and general clean up would be the hardest and - on a purely physical level - it was, but what posed the real challenge was the choice of crops to grow.
With spring around the corner, she did not have the luxury of time to deep dive into the subject. Instead, Praksyda decided to plant a bit of everything. Grapes, and onions, and daisies, and beans... There was no rhyme or reason to her choices. She simply figured that if she threw enough seeds at the soil, it would eventually produce something... right?
Next up: purchasing a cow.
Ida is a darling. Produces some excellent milk too. But, boy, does she require lots of love, care and scrubs on the regular.
Sometimes you just need to stop overthinking things and go for it. Chase your dreams. Carpe the damn diem. Or so Praksyda Koradiel, a self-proclaimed animal charmer and horticulture enthusiast who became way too invested in the cottagecore aesthetic, told herself when spending her life savings on a quaint but slightly dilapidated farm.
Spoiler alert, this started off so well. A fox stole her very expensive hen two days after moving in.
Sims 4 screenshot issue
Hey everyone!
I come to you with a problem: since the recent update, I noticed that my screenshots aren’t saving to my screenshot folder (screenshots are taken, as usual, with the C key).
The game keeps telling me that “my pictures can be viewed in the Screenshot Manager, which is found in the Camera Options in Live Mode”. I have no clue what this means or how to access it. All I want back is my option to take regular screenshots, which appear in my screenshot folder.
Is this an issue cause by outdated mods? Or by one of the recent updates? Or a problem with my game? Or something I can fix in the settings?
Please send help.
PS: My laptop has Windows 10 installed.
SOLVED IT!
After some digging around, I came across this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues-PC/Screenshots-Vids-not-saving/td-p/9561653
In short, it was Avast, my antivirus program, that was messing with my game. I marked "TS4.exe" as an exclusion to its Ransomware Shield and voilà, that seemed to do the trick. I’ve only tested the game once after changing the antivirus settings, so I have yet to see if this is a permanent fix, but I figured I’d post this info in case others have encountered this issue.
Problem with Sims 4 update
Hey everyone!
I have a problem. When I tried to update Sims 4 via origin, I got a pop-up saying that due to issues with files, the update didn’t install. I couldn’t access the game so I ended up uninstalling it completely. Now, I’ve tried to reinstall base game. It downloaded but lo and behold, I got the same pop-up saying it didn’t install (properly?). Any suggestions on what to do? Where to seek help?

I love that my new simmie Ingeborg can be extra and randomly communicate with the dead, but not extra enough to be accepted into the paranormal career 😒

Definitely worth a reblog.
The forest centipedes that hitched a ride during her reconnaissance expeditions, those she was not particularly fond of.
Let’s be honest, the ever-present snow, incredible scenery and getting to know her rich cultural heritage were all secondary to the real reason why Adria moved - the adorable local forest spirits.
While initial reactions to The Sims 4 Snowy Escape Expansion Pack seemed positive overall, many South Korean players have pointed out some problematic imagery featured in the pack that is insensitive towards the history between Japan and South Korea. The frame from the reveal trailer that you can see down below shows a Sim interacting […]

Hmm... from my historian’s perspective, this article touches on an interesting conundrum, namely that to neighbouring countries, which were at war in the past and share a history of colonization, certain items, symbols and traditions have divergently different connotations.
I will admit, the rising sun flag is a faux pas on the part of the Sims team - it has undeniable and widely-known connotations with Japanese imperialism in the 20th c. The shrines are a bit more problematic... as far as I know, worship at shrines is an element of the Shinto religion and has a long tradition in Japan that has nothing to do with colonization. It’s part of the culture and heritage of the country, which is why I’m not really surprised the Sims team decided to include it in the expansion. That said, I understand that to Koreans, it was part of a system of violent oppression directed against them. I am not, however, sure that this is the connotation that most people unfamiliar with this particular aspect of history have (unlike in the case of the rising sun symbol). Don’t get me wrong, I do not want to downplay the suffering that Koreans (and other East Asians) endured at the hands of the Japanese during WW2, but on the other hand I also want to acknowledge that Shinto shrines are a part of Japanese culture (not to mention that the act of worshiping at a shrine dedicated to an ancestor, spirit or deity is to some degree universal) and can have positive as well as negative implications. I am, admittedly, a bit intrigued by this feature and I hope that, all controversy aside, it has been designed in a manner respectful towards the Shinto faith.
Basically, what I’m saying is that there might be some nuance here that is being passed over (not on the part of Korean simmers, but rather from everyone else who may or may not have taken a moment to become familiar with the context before joining the conversation). I’m looking forward to reading more about this from both Korean and Japanese simmers who decide to speak out. I’m also kind of curious to see what EA’s response will be...

*REQUIRES THE SIMS 4 (SOLD SEPARATELY) AND ALL GAME UPDATES. FOR PC, SEE MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS FOR THE PACK.
Good to see a wide range of lockdown-hair-dye experimentation in the Sims.
You know what, I didn’t necessarily ask for this, but I’m actually finding myself intrigued by the EP. I quite like that the dev team chose a non-Western location as the basis for the pack and I am pumped to see how the Lifestyles/Sentiments system works. I sincerely hope it adds depth to sims, because the lack of distinct personalities (in comparison to sims 2 and 3) is one of the things that has been bothering me the most about this iteration of the game.
Will you be seeing red after taking this quiz?
I can only read “dogs” and only see anything in one other. I see nothing in any other.
8/10 but fuck, OW.
You got 9 out of 10 right!WOW!
You have PERFECT color vision and can see the color red better than most people. Congratulations!

You scored better than 62% of quiztakers.
Can your friends beat you?

“You got 10 out of 10 right!WOW!

100%” Is it sad this made me feel vaguely smug?
I got 100% with my glasses on. (I’m not trying without my glasses. I’d literally have to put my face on the screen.)
I got 4/10. Still doing better than my fiancé, who is colourblind.
10/10
Cheers.
Though to be fair, the quality of the screen you're using to do the quiz and amount of glare you're dealing with will probably affect your results more than your actual vision.
