people IMMEDIATELY start whining that they give up and won't play the game anymore bc figuring out piracy is "too hard"
some guy comes out and says he might pick up anadius' work but his first course of action is to tell people to not harrass him and that the sims community is "technically challenged", meaning it wasn't just anadius who was being a meanie (I saw you guys playing offended over the years) but that this is what outsiders genuinely see in us so perhaps it is time for some introspection
When will the community finally get off their asses and start to learn the bare fucking minimum of tech-savviness 101? Some of you act like you believe people are born with an innate understanding of computers and you just missed the memo when god was handing out tech-savviness vouchers. NO. People are tech-savvy because they took the time to research and learn and MADE MISTAKES in the past, which some of you are flat out refusing to do. This is embarrassing. This is the reputation we have built for ourselves. I don't care how hard or scary you think it is, challenging your brain every now and then is good and healthy and needs to be done lest all you guys get dementia at 50 for being too comfortable with being served by others all the time. You are caging yourselves with your low self-efficacy, how are you not feeling suffocated by that?
It's okay to ask people for help so you can learn how to do things, but this service-mentality and the "ooh i'm not tech-savvy" excuses have got to stop.
hi everyone, it feels awful to be in this situation but what else is community for if not lifting each other up?
my dog, my whole heart, was diagnosed with a brain tumor yesterday and the safest and most effective way for us to treat it and extend her life is with targeted radiation treatment.
though i have a decent income, i have already paid out of pocket a for several vet exams needed to find the tumor as well as another major surgery she needed this year. i also just had to move cross-country. that said, my savings are tapped out and it looks like we’ll have to take out a massive loan to try and cover things.
if you all can share and donate what you can it will go a long way in helping us reduce the financial burden we’re under to cover everything. thank you in advance ❤️
Calabruhsas is a favourite of celebrities: with its beaches and nightlife, many famous sims choose to live here. However, where there are celebrities, there's always celebri-tea, and in Calabruhsas nobody is who they seem. Not in a cool, mysterious way, though, more like in a shallow, superficial kind of way.
Calabruhsas is a neighbourhood I've been working on for so long now, and I'm so happy to announce that it's finally in a state where I can upload it for you guys!
Calabruhsas' concept was partly inspired by Steph0sims on youtube, and partly by a ModTheSims forum post of someone "rescuing" Vanessa Jeong from TS4 Get Famous into TS2. It has famous faces from the sims, some recognizable faces from tea channels, and some "nobodies" you might grow to like. I made a lot of references to a lot of niche culture throughout, which I'm interested to see if people find (hint: me being Hungarian has a lot to do with them).
Calabruhsas Includes CC.
I tried to make it with as little CC as possible (and there is no buy mode CC), but some body shop CC turned out to be necessary to achieve the vision I had. They are included in the download, and are as follows:
Sister James' dress by CelestialSpider
Sister James' veil (my edit) by Cynnix and Almighty Hat (I can't find the exact post I found this accessory, but they are the people named in the file. I edited it to appear for males too.
Sister James' white vampire dress (recolour by me) mesh by Nialong (linked the repository project)
The nuns' dress by Cynnix
Jeffree's tracksuit, formal outfit and bathrobe recoloured by me
Dudley's hair by Artemida
Nyikita's hair by Rocket Horse
If you decide to play, please use the tag #calabruhsas-hood so that I can also see, it brings me so much joy to see what others do with premade sims.
Hey there, I'm finally finding more time to play the Sims again, and I wanted to make myself a legacy challenge to keep me engaged in a long-term save.
I wanted to publicize these ideas so that others who are interested can have a new legacy challenge to try out for themselves! ♡
This legacy was inspired by the not so berry challenge and sims in bloom legacy ♡ You'll have 10 generations of fruit-based heirs to play with.
Sorry, but this legacy is going to be VERY PACK HEAVY. (If you'd like I will take into consideration making a base game legacy)
General Rules:
normal or long lifespan (aging on)
you can only cheat money for the first-generation house, and it should be no more than 40k. (keep the idea of a starter)
you must complete all generations' goals before their death.
you can have sims move around to different worlds and lots. you do not have to live with your entire family all the time (unless stated otherwise).
infants and toddler traits should be randomized and only once.
you can use as many mods as you want to add events and other gameplay elements to your game.
You've come a long way. You just turned twenty-one and saved every cent you earned from part-time work in your teens. It's finally time to reset and start a new life in a new city/town. Unfortunately, you can only afford the smallest, oldest house in the area. You're still grateful, and don't let it affect your enthusiasm. You are determined to make the most of what you have.
Aspiration: Big Happy Family
Traits: Cheerful, Childish, Loyal
Career: Part-time Worker -> Educator

Max the Fishing, Cooking, & Parenting Skill
Work part-time while going to college to become an educator (professor or admin path)

Have your first child while in college
Marry as an Adult in your backyard
Take your family out at least once a week until your eldest moves out.
You watched your parents work pretty hard in life yet still found time to raise you actively. You have always been quiet and always enjoyed your alone time. During those times, you'd isolate in your room and play games. Soon enough, you taught yourself a bit about coding, and ever since, your curiosity has been boundless.
Aspiration: Computer Whiz
Traits: Socially Awkward, Geek, Loner
Career: Freelancer
Goals:

Program for money as a teenager to adulthood
Go to college but, drop out after the first semester

After being adopted, there weren't many rules in your home. You used that freedom to skip school and travel to new places. In Del Sol Valley you became obsessed with the idea of fame and desperately wanted to act on screen! After barely passing high school, you move to Del Sol Valley with the little money allowed by your parents to seek fame, fortune, and maybe notoriety.
Being born into wealth and fame is hard on a child. Having the world's eyes on you at all times didn't allow you to have a normal childhood. Especially when your parents were more concerned about chasing money. The one thing you're grateful for is the huge kitchen your parents owned. You spent a lot of your time cooking and trying new recipes. Feeding your siblings and experiencing new cultures has inspired you to pocket some of your parent's money and move to a new city to open your own restaurant.

You loved animals all your life. You begged for multiple pets and fed strays with leftovers from your parent's cooking. Wasn't too long until you wanted become a veterinarian. You seek to learn how to care for all animals and own them all! Making your house a sanctuary for animals has become your new life's purpose. Soon enough, you take in a child as well.
As your parent was working the Ranch and a veterinary clinic full time, you surrounded yourself with books during your time alone. You were gifted a computer for your 14th birthday and immediately started writing your own fanfictions about book series you adored. After some online traction you decided to make writing your full-time job!

It's finally done cooking, my sims gameplay ideas list! After scouring all types of sites, generators, lists, and my brain for ingredients, I've come up with a list stew that hopefully will spark some inspiration for your sims gameplays!
This non exhaustive list consists of ideas that are applicable to sims gameplay/things to do in-game. AKA things that can be played out in the sims or half pretended. If you're looking for non-gameplay story ideas, I have a separate list for that here. (to be posted soon). Most of the conflict and love ideas are on that list.
Please feel free to send asks to add to the gumbo! Just note in your ask that it's for the gumbo and keep it applicable/feasible for gameplay. (To keep the post from getting too long I'll make a contributor list into a compressed image later on for those who send off-anon.)
