AAARGGGHH I HATE UPDATES since when do we HAVE TO install them in order to play the game? In past we could at least choose not to... #thesims4

Yep :)

I know,been there done that. The game is pretty fun but the players are just incredible in most negative sense of word

Only in the eyes, but you couldn't imagine how he looks as a sim based on wolf form.

the stop killing games demand is such a no-brainer... if someone is selling me a game it has to be fit for purpose, it has to be playable, or else that's fraud. if shutting down your servers breaks my copy of the game irrevocably, then it's not fit for purpose. it is broken by design. that's fraud.

Maybe you stopped emanating the aftereffects of all the stress and toxicity that one has to deal with in that game. I mean, even constantly pre-emptively muting people is still dealing with it.

I love @phdsimmer.bsky.social youtube.com/watch?v=CVUr...

I don't usually give that much value to storytelling but today I wanted to chill and I don't regret taking deeper look into university

Following the intended university schedule isn't so bad so far

I decided to actually follow the intended university schedule for "fun", well for the experience of it. Including 7 am - breakfast, 12 pm lunch and participating the games and theme days

I have no idea how can water be poor quality but my sim got poor quality water from cafeteria somehow

The one randomly created student I didn't make over because I couldn't, it's hilarious

I didn't even know you could order avocado toast some mornings at university! #thesims4

Familiarising myself with how university works in "vanilla" when you live in dorms and go to commons to study because I always just enrolled from home or from rental and I need to understand the mechanics for my save file #thesims4

Restoring this stove is such a nice, handy way to acquire better than usual starting stove. This is the kind of gameplay I approve 😊 #thesims4

I love you see what I see! I personally think Mortimer having money helped her to commit and not live wondering what if there's something better out there, in my headcanon he was simply her stabilizing factor (vs all the what ifs) because even romance sims want to marry rich.

There is plenty of evidence in lore that Bella Goth adores Mortimer, and also some hints that she still married for money. Lot people bid those two against each other as if it's "pick one". In reality people make decisions for more than one reason, and I personally believe it was both #thesims4

I got exactly 10 sims bucket lists written with my new "mostly everyone stays in their pack/neighborhood" method for my save. Only 805 to go, since my save has 815 EA sims #thesims4

So, I got bored of wildly out of character bucket list goals and decided to set some my own. Glad I did, because this way some sims actually stay in their homeworlds instead of wanting to move / bolt elsewhere like their bums are on fire. Def going with this for my save #thesims4

Wish Curseforge had an option to launch game without all of my mods except for spesific list, would make life so much easier when I do want to load in. Big sigh of self-pity.

.. to be on the absolute safe side I load in with zero (0!) unnecesary mods that don't contribute somehow to keeping that save file in order. Hence huge manual labor every time I want to edit it, which I do in bursts. Literally have notes what I'm going to change that I accumulate over months. 🫣

Rant continues because I have to sorry, for example I have to always load with all worlds are residental and venue changes just to make triply sure that none of the vacation world lots that have premanent resident get fucked up. And with bookcases and toy box don't share inventory mods. But...

Creating and pruning my all EA premades save is so taxing honestly. For example now I'm sorting out hundreds of mods into two baskets: mods that are allowed to load or even required to load when I load the save for editing, and mods that I keep away to not break anything accidentally #thesims4

In Claras house everyone who is able to cooks

Sofia had some drama with Siobhan and now shes all sad. Peak Paragon moment.

Sofia is giving my vampire Alimus some repair tips since this isn't my canon save but one where I blow off steam

Elsa, do you have problems with something?

That baby really looks like Bjorn and I'm not sure it's gonna be good for her long term

Good thing the mobile exists.

I never manage to play this household without thousand baby wishes popping up
