Now that we're on the topic of hobbies, one of my hobbies is collecting collectible diecast cars (I'm a car enthusiast). I prefer buying those 1:18 scale diecast cars and whenever I'm in China for vacation, I buy them and wow, they're so expensive!! I have 15 cars and each of those beauties costs hundreds of dollars.
Oh, awesome! And this hobby fits your career plans so well!
making model cars is a career plan. i think i missed something. not laughing just confused.
First, thank you all for your tips and suggestions in helping me decide on how to present my story! I've been really nervous about actually posting it for others to read, but at the same time, I am super excited to see what others think. I have posted my story here in the forum, it is a work-in-progress, but I think there's enough substance to get readers invested. Please let me know what you think!
@CitizenErased14 Thank you for the tips for the family photographs. I made it a requirement of my new legacy without actually knowing how to do it which is kinda silly. I just figured I'll learn when it's time. Now I've gotta find kid poses because pretty much all I have are couple poses.
@Rainywill5 you're welcome! If you need any help let me know. Not that I'm an expert by any means, but all my trial and error has given me a lot of practice And if you're looking for poses, Lana CC Finds is great!
Re: hobbies: I used to do colored pencil drawings when I was in middle and high school and spent a lot of money on colored pencil sets. Nowadays I do line drawings and watercolor paintings, which are cheap compared to other media (one set of decent watercolor paints can last forever), but I've still spent over a hundred so far on both.
And The Sims itself counts as a hobby, and I've spent well more than $1,000 on it ($900 going towards building my desktop, but maybe I would have built one anyways).
As much as joy shouldn't have a price tag, I used to love pottery when I could do it for free through my high school (basically, I had the option to choose my own independent art class and guess what I did). Then I got kicked out into the real-world and looked at studio and firing fees and had to back away. The closest place to me charged $150 a month for some pretty awesome resources (studio space, glaze, so many firing options, etc), but I couldn't afford that right out of high school and it'd still be a big expense now that I couldn't justify. Not to mention how I'd never be able to get there anyways because I can't drive. But one day I'll get back into it.
Thanks @ra3rei@Julyvee94 and @CathyTea for your input regarding Ironbound. I think what I'll do is write another chapter, then screenshot the first one. Work was pretty tiring today, so I can't see myself getting in game to play, but maybe closer to bed-time I'll get some inspiration to start writing
Yay for hobbies! Okay, apart from reading, writing, colouring, and playing video games, I love playing the piano for church services. The piano wasn't cheap but it has lasted me well for about 15 years and counting! Funnily enough, I don't care to learn/play songs for my own personal pleasure, but I adore playing in a band or for my family.
I also used to love doing jigsaw puzzles! Those huge ones with a thousand or more tiny pieces. They weren't cheap though, and the puzzle shop closed down some time during my teenage years.
What else. Oh, I love trying new restaurants and cafes! My Instagram account is 85% food.
I'm going to play now my game and make screenshots for the next chapter of my story. I think a baby should be born in this part
Just wanted to tell that I began a new series on my YouTube channel: Let's Cook The Sims 4 Game Meals. Please check it out if you like, it's mostly about cooking with my fellow Sim Claudia. Hope you will like it and thanks for watching! (Sorry for off topic!!!)
I have no idea why, but I'm up way earlier than I need to be. But I'm good with that. Working on some Sim stuff, then I got into Cities Skyline last night, so, I'll jump back into that game.
Hi! I got my last essays and teaching plans done so I'm free of school! Now just to get my summer job in order... so I'm not that free. But I can finally stay in my hometown and focus on my hobbies and family and friends! Yay!
Speaking of hobbies, mine are for the most part pretty cheap. I mean, yeah, we go to karate camps a lot and many times we even go abroad for them but I do so much work (teaching, security guard gigs...) for my club that I usually get most of my expenses paid with work. A good gi of course costs at least between 100 and 200 euros but that isn't really a thing I'm buying every year. Now I've been wanting to buy a bokken and some other additional things that can cost pretty much but we'll see. My painting, drawing, and other artsy and craftsy hobbies are probably the most expensive ones, but I haven't really counted the costs of that a whole lot (and I use a lot of waste and recycled materials for those). Writing and reading are mostly free since I borrow my books from a library for the most part... so yeah, I guess I wouldn't be so carefree about it if I actually looked at how much all the paper and colours and whatnot I've bought for arts purposes have really cost to me. But as long as I can plan my purchases well and pay attention to my budget it isn't that big a deal. Also yeah, The Sims has been pretty expensive too. And I just had to buy a new computer but that's not just for hobby purposes.
In other news, I'm currently trying to get my settings and everything else with my new laptop in order but I'm getting back to writing SimLit again! In fact I have my Sims stories open right now! So I'm hoping I can get new chapters out for both of my stories soon enough!
Have a lovely day, people!
