Wow, do I feel silly. That's what it was! In my defense, I'm so used to TS2.. just click and go, no worries because there's no reason for cc to ever get turned off. I didn't/don't have time to play now and that makes me sad because I forgot how much pretty cc I have. :)
@nova-wolf
The walls and floors were all there and were fine. I forgot that I did painting recolors (stand-alone) so I didn't check those out. The shirts and hairs were fine in CAS so I assume they'd be fine in game? Not sure I'll update them though, the only shirts I shared were recolors in checks and chevrons and I'm not even sure I'll use those anymore because there's so many choices that are better. There are some Halloween T-shirts I never shared.. probably won't update those either. (Mainly because they're "seasonal".) The only other cc I ever made was a default rug replacement and I didn't even think to check that out.
@deestar1234
Nope, no mirrors for TS4. TS2, yes.. but I really sucked at converting to TS4 so they'll remain TS2 only. (Unless someone converts them on their own!)
As an aside: There are so many nice shirts that I'd love to have for TS2. Guess it's time to see if they've been converted and if not? Work up the nerve to request them. :) I didn't check out any other clothing, which might be a good thing, lol.
Ive always wanted to try one but I always want a big pretty house decorated how I want and end up cheating. XD
elleinvogue
I did my farm with a house then built it up but I cheated to have money for the biggest plot.
I’m going to legit try not to cheat (something I’ve never done before LOL) and start her off with an outhouse and a sleeping bag. I just bought a plot of land with $14.7k out of 16.5 k. I’m thinking about buying something expensive and deleting it so she starts with absolutely nothing.
@seri-plays replied to your post: @rop26 reblogged your photoset: discussing case...
*awkward glancing around at a pretty joyful community she’s built*
I don’t like Youtube In general so that’s not aimed at any particular part of it. Youtube has fostered a sort of behaviour that just rubs me the wrong way and it is why i steer clear of it. It’s also why I lament EA predominantly inviting YT simmers to these events now, because not even the news they post would get me to go to YT. I seriously hate that site. I am probably in the minority with my opinions, but my overall experience has been less then stellar. But really, there are probably many that feel the same about tumblr, or facebook, or other social media sites. It’s why we just naturally gravitate to some platforms rather then others.
These are some replies regarding my post in response to “Bored Anon” yesterday. I’m hoping to get around to replying to all the comments on story posts and other stuff after work tonight. Thanks, everyone, for being patient!
I received a few anons yesterday other than the one from “Bored Anon”, but I deleted them. They weren’t particularly nice, although they really had nothing to do with me as far as I could tell. Somebody asked me my opinion on the ‘red nose/face trend’ for instance, whatever that may be.
Anyway, a few replies for my lovely people are under the cut!
Special note to @seri-plays - I appreciate your reblog! You make excellent points, which I totally agree with. I didn’t reproduce your entire reblog here, but I wanted to thank you for it.

@princessdejamars
right on....love the story because its just so refreshing....and they are so cute together......
Thank you so much! I’m happy you find it refreshing and I’m glad you like it!
@sometimes-i-sim
"I'm never going to apologize for Frisky Old Men." Good! There's no need! It's refreshing to see a story with elders. In this day and age old age is frowned upon, but I say life can be/should be enjoyed till the final moment. Cheers to you!
Thanks very much! I just feel like there are so many stories that can be told from so many viewpoints, and I wanted to explore something different for a change.
I love seniors in real life. They have so much to teach us and are so full of surprises. When I worked at the museum, before law school, everyone on the board of directors was a senior, and even one of my co-workers was an older gentleman. My co-worker used to give me loads of free advice, most of it quite good advice too. A few of the guys on the board of directors were veterans (two soldiers and a Mountie) and they used to love to come in and just sit there and tell me stories. I loved it. One dear old fellow once told me, “I like coming here to see you because you’re really interested in my life.” I later found out that he hadn’t seen one of his daughters for about 3 years.
I’ve also done quite a bit of volunteering with seniors, and I’ve found a lot of kindred spirits that way; people like Julia who loved dolls and knitting, just like me. Julia knitted me a pompom scarf. She has since passed on, but I always think of her when I put that scarf on. The hardest thing about befriending seniors is knowing the friendships will be short, but I think that makes them all the more precious.
Ahahaha...sorry, that was a bit of a ramble! Anyway, the point was that I really wanted to have a story in which elders and their everyday lives are the focal point. I guess I just wanted to show even though their bodies might be old, their hearts and minds are still the same as a younger person’s, and that they still want to live full, satisfying and interesting lives.
@108sims
I adore your story and love Aubrey and Zach ❤️
Thanks very much! I’m super happy about all the love and attention they’ve received, and I really appreciate it.
@kat88833
I love u girl and the boys ;) keep shining you beautiful babes
Thank you so much! I appreciate it! ♥
@lifeasasim
You're always so on point with these things. I'm with you! <3
Thanks! I appreciate it!

@kat88833
seriously? Like seriously? If you don't like her story then get out cause its perfect the way it is. It isn't meant to be full of drama and action and all that shit. Its love and joy and two people being perfect for one another. Like holy cow.
If there’s one think I’ve learned in 40 years of living, it’s that some people are never satisfied with anything and can always find a reason to complain. Honestly, I’m just shaking my head at “Bored Anon”. I’m more baffled and a bit frustrated rather than upset. Anyway, I appreciate your comments and I’m super glad you like the story. Thanks very much!
@simmindipityunplugged
The hate just doesn't stop... Geez! :-/
Compared to the things I’ve received in my inbox in the past, this hardly qualifies as ‘hate’, but I do know what you mean. It’s like people have nothing better to do than randomly harass people for fun. I haven’t had too many problems in the simblr community, so I’ve mostly left anonymous asks enabled. For the most part, the simblr community is an exceptionally friendly and pleasant bunch of folks (at least in my experience). In another online community, I had to disable my ask box entirely on my main blog because of the actual hate mail I was receiving from both anonymous and non-anonymous users. It got so bad that I deleted all my posts on Tumblr relating to that community and left it altogether in April of this past year.
@sometimes-i-sim
*smh*
I know right? me too.
@stsciurussimblr
I love your story because of the twists and turns in your imagination. Sad that some people can't see the beauty in that!
Thank you! This means a lot to me. I’m so pleased you like what I’m doing here. Yeah...some people have difficulty seeing the beauty in anything, I think. Personally, I find everyone’s creativity beautiful, and I think all stories are worth telling. Whether I’m personally interested in them isn’t the point; my interest doesn’t determine their worth and validity. I guess people like “Bored Anon” don’t get that.
But at least it’s replies and not just me talking to hear myself talk, right? :) For @dunne-ias, @alawren4ever, @getmygameon, @celebkiriedhel, @seri-plays, and @thathorrorbat...
And NOW I’m going to go see about that tree...
dunne-ias replied to your post “More is MOAR!”
I'd love a hood completely built by you (especially if it was a subhood, or if there was a subhood version), in any style really, but this is a very nice style :)
Hmmm...a subhood is a very good idea, actually. Then it’d be like a residential-only “bedroom community” that could be attached to a more urban one or something. Because I wouldn’t be wanting to make any/many community lots...I don’t think. Then again, maybe I would. Maybe just a few essentials like a little grocery and a park or something... Well, whatever the case, I do have Mootilda’s subhood-template-making tutorial bookmarked, which I’ve always wanted to try. Just have to get AnyGame Starter installed without blowing up my computer like I did last time I tried it...
alawren4ever replied to your photo “WIP of Bungalow #7: In Which iCad Takes These Nifty Things Out For a...”
I'm really loving your latest builds. They all look so warm and cozy.
Aw, thank you! “Cozy” is usually what I shoot for, but with these I’m trying to be even cuter/cozier than usual... Glad to hear that I’m succeeding. :)
getmygameon replied to your post “More is MOAR!”
I like looking on posts like that too ^-^ so yo're not alone. I've got several footprints saved on my computer, but...I've yet to attempt to build any of them >>;;;;
You should give it a shot! It’s not all that hard to do, assuming that you’ve got ones that aren’t gigantic and that have doable-in-game roofs and that are relatively uncomplicated. (Like, no complicated split levels, for instance.) I like making up my own things, but sometimes it’s a fun challenge to make one of those plans work in game, both from a building and a playing perspective. Come to think of it, that’s pretty much all I do, actually, whether I’m using my own design or someone else’s found online.
celebkiriedhel replied to your post “Having a malfunctioning liver is funny.”
That is seriously cool to have temporary pawprints in you. :)
I figured you, of all people, would appreciate that. :) I can’t say that the edema is particularly cool to have, but I do occasionally have fun making various impressions on myself with various things. (Cookie cutters are fun for the purpose. :) ) It’s almost like having a tattoo, although it doesn’t last nearly so long.
Yes, I’m strange, thank you. :) I figure it’s better to have fun with your condition than to sit around being grumpy about it.
seri-plays replied to your post “Having a malfunctioning liver is funny.”
You have both my sympathy (chronic illnesses sucks) and my laughter because that is pretty awesome - also maine coon mixes FTW!!!
Yeah, Maine Coons are awesome. I’m not really into the whole “purebred” thing with dogs and cats -- too many health issues, usually -- but I’d kind of like to have a purebred Maine Coon one day. I hear they have some interesting behaviors. Poof (Um...that’s the name of my “imprinter;” we’re really good at naming animals around here) has some of those behaviors, but since he’s a mix of God-knows-what-else, he doesn’t have all of them.
But yeah, chronic illness does suck, but some days are better than others. On the good ones, I don’t even know I have any issues, and on the bad ones...Well, at least I can still play my game. :) And have fun with temporary “body modification.” ;)
thathorrorbat replied to your photo “It’s time for Morning Nonnies! (Yes, yes, it’s 3PM in my time zone....”
3pm is morning to me too. I work nights so there's no way I'm getting up earlier than 2 or 3 unless I absolutely have to.
Yay, more nocturnals! *tosses confetti* There’s quite a few of us around here, actually. I’m actually not working at the moment (by choice), so I don’t have that as an excuse. It’s just what I prefer and what my body seems to like. But yeah, IMO the morning hours are totally overrated. And that bright, glowy, radiation-spewing thing in the sky? Totally overrated, too. :) Although since I don’t need a lot of sleep, I do see it a little bit. Especially in the summer when the sun doesn’t set until 8PM or whatever.
@holleyberry answered your post: Naomi: Hello, Joël. How are you?(Mia f...
Something had to shit on the good mood. At least it wasn’t Anita this time.
@buckleysims answered: I sorta wish she would fall backwards off that ledge and plunge to her death, but I’m far too interested to see how Naomi’s story plays out to really mean that. :P She makes ME nauseous though. And anxious. >.<
@romeo-and-simulet answered: naomi no
@kscriba answered: Hm, well, right now all I care about is Joël and Mia’s happiness. And Roy’s a big boy, he can handle himself…
@seri-plays answered: Oh boy, I’m so excited!!! @-@ I feel like there is a masterful, logical serial killer playing games now!
@futuresims answered: I have a feeling she is going to frame Jojo with murder or something. It is making me nervous.
@getmygameon answered: Joel, you are the epitome of idiocy; she didn’t need to know that. She has his number and could’ve asked HIM.
@simmeringsuccotash answered: That’s my Naomi. Get all the deets.
@pibsims answered: I hope JoJo gets his money. He’s already mentally spent over half of it. But why does Naomi care about Roy. She is the one who left.
@miraakles answered: … I knew she was gonna mention Roy. So that fact that I was slightly like, “Oh she didn’t-…..She still did and had the audacity to say, ‘I thought he would’… After she DESTROYED him. This bish.”
@lilsisterg answered: Naomi out on the ledge, that picture says it all
@sweetnovember77 answered: It didn’t take long before visions of sugar plums danced in Joel’s heads
@hyperkaos answered: Life is impermanent Naomi. So are you. I no longer ship the Royomi. You may leave. Sadly, you won’t.
@chillimps answered your post: Monica: So what’s poor Mia going to do...
Anita’s in trouble….
@seri-plays answered: Oh man, the layers get darker and the subtle details sharper with every post… @-@ I crave such good writing like air!
Thank you so much Seri!!! XD
@futuresims answered: Of course the first person she texts is Joel. I’m getting tired of reading about her and her mess of a life. ._.
@hyperkaos answered: This is what happens when you burn bridges, it’s sink or swim and she’s sinking fast. Last bridge is Joel.
Only bridge is Joël!
@miraakles answered: Monica BACK OFF MAH SHIP…. Also, you should probably change your number Joel. Soooo you two never get back together and you won’t find out that Jim is evil and stick your piece back in her because you no longer care about him getting a heartattack.
@roseoakmoonsims answered: Believe that was a “help”, Joel. Anita’s landed herself into a hell of a mess. I never would have expected Jim to be an abusive fuck, but then, you rarely suspect the ones who truly are.
There were a few signs that he was a slimebucket. He engineered it so that Joël caught Anita with Danny. He more or less called Saffy a ho and said she took after her mother. There have also been more subtle but creepy things he’s said and done.
@pibsims answered: I’m not sure that Joel is the knight-in-shining armour rescuing type that Anita may well need.
@kscriba answered: helphelphelp i mean or hell but yknow GEEZ CHILLS MAN
@spladoum answered: She hung up on you when you asked to remain on speaking terms, and now she’s randomly saying “hello” in all caps. You’re almost too dumb to live, Joël.
@loveandscenerysims4reblogs reblogged this from you and added:
And now I’m going to have that track stuck in my head. lol. Good scene setting though :-)
Thank you! I love picking the music for The Grind.
seri-plays answered your question “this may be TMI but im frustrated af.”
Always go ahead and pee on a stick if you are worried, I'd say! If you are just having a weird cycle it'll put your mind at rest - if not, the earlier you are prepared to make choices, the better!
fempirestate replied to your post “this may be TMI but im frustrated af.”
I understand why you are freaking out. It is quite usual to experience tender breasts while on your period. Also, you've started you period. It might be the case that your body is now slowly starting to getting used to the extra hormones, 1/2
fempirestate replied to your post “this may be TMI but im frustrated af.”
Ok, so turns out I wasn't done yet... I hope for you that you are just freaking out about nothing. Either way... It will all be fine, I promise you. Good luck :)
fempirestate replied to your post “this may be TMI but im frustrated af.”
And that could explain why you aren't bleeding as much as might be usual for you? But on the other hand, if I were you I would consider to take a test. Just to be sure. To ease your mind; I think your obgyn might tell you to take a test first anyway
i def ran out and got a stick or 2. i feel a lot better now. im just, why the hell would it change suddenly like this?! it wasnt like this the past 2 months so im literally going “wtf is going omgggg” idk why my body just cant conform and accept the pill, adjust and leave me alone. it has got to stop fighting this thing, jfc. ¬_¬ at least thats what it feels like.
