  • As a non-native English speaker, I probably use "said" way too much? :joy: But I'm still learning so I try to keep the perfectionnism at bay by telling myself that the only thing I need to do to get better is write more. Repetition is better than an attempt at perfection. I haven't heard too much about overuse of "said" so…
  • @SnowBnuuy For some reason I always assumed Gshade was the exact same thing as ReShade :sweat_smile: if Gshade is less heavy I should definitely try it out. I've experimented with ReShade in the past but don't actually use it for my stories, I like using Photoshop better, which is now making me think of another tip! • For…
  • Thank you for all the tips, I'm learning so much! :love: A lot of what I use has been mentioned already (make use of lights, reShade, tab mode etc) but here are a couple more: • I like to use MCCC to slow down time in my game. It helps when you want to shoot a scene during a sunrise or sunset for example, but it can also…
  • My Sim got what is possibly the most passive agressive friendship gift from Lilith Vatore: a couple of trash fruits. Gee, thanks Lilith... :joy:
  • I'm not much of a builder. I used to avoid building anything like the plague, it lasted several decades :joy: but lately, I've been trying to make an effort and I realized I kind of enjoy building little storybook houses for my most important families! It's nothing fancy or extraordinary but I like them! And somehow I'm…
  • It looks like she's having a really strange nightmare :joy:
  • I've been using a bunch of mods for ages now, so sometimes I'm not sure whether some of the options I have are mod-related or not, but when I click on a random sim that's in my house I have two options to make them leave: one of them is called "Just go away!" and it makes the Sim instanteously leave the lot without any…
  • Saia is enjoying New Year's Eve
  • I would rather realize that my dad isn't my biological dad. If he raised me, then he's still my dad. And at least I wouldn't lose respect for him unlike the first case scenario. Would you rather make a hobby you're passionate about into your job and have it lose its "magic" over time, or doing a job you hate every single…
  • Oh really? Do we get specific achievements/moodlets for that? Like when Sims woohoo with ghosts? Or is there a special gardening trait for the kids like Father Winter's babies? I can't wait to try it now, I haven't taken the time yet lol
  • Nope! But they also don't get cavities :p
  • The beautiful symphony of morning silence. (read: "nothing" but saying it so bluntly is boring)
  • > @ignominiusrex said: > Would you rather lose your hearing, or your eyesight? Hearing. Eyesight would make everything I love impossible to do... Hearing would just take music out :( sad but I tend to be annoyed and distracted when there's too much noise so at least that's a win LOL ~ Would you rather be hunted by vampires…
  • This is a tough one, in my case I would say that I will not get the sims 5 as long as it's inferior to the sims 4. And I say "as long as" because it's pretty much inherent to the base game + DLCs system. There's no way the Sims 5 base game will be as complete as all of the stuff we currently have for the sims 4 even if…
  • I say live as in alive cause it's like a livestream. When you pause or increase the speed it's not live anymore but you can switch it back to "live" as in real time. I'm not an english speaker though so I probably said "live (laugh love)" in the past (as a kiddo) before hearing let's players say it the other way and taking…
  • Oh my, this is going to be long. Behold! The story of the Four Founder Brothers! I like to play some sort of legacy system where a specific sim is the "heir" of their generation. My families are usually either patriarchies or matriarchies which means only a male or female heir is eligible. I also dislike playing too many…
  • I really wish we could have canes back, maybe a special walkstyle? Other than that, I've never really been a huge generations fan because I mainly play YA/Adults. It has changed a bit when they developed the Teen lifestage, I play teens a lot more than I used to, but I've never had any interest in babies and toddlers.…
  • "I was late because I took a little detour by Henford-on-Bagley and everyone I met there told me I seemed like a friendly sort and that I should ask for an obscene amount of side quests from random people"
  • > @HavenRose said: > @Velvet_Lilies Since you’re Open to mods, you should try the teleport mod and Andrew’s pose player. Even without pose player, you can use the teleport mod (with sim autonomy off) to force a sim to stand in an exact place turned whichever way you need them. With pose player, you can play in-game…
  • A friend just showed me that there were some kind of strange scarecrow that could be bought from buy mode and placed into a garden. Apparently if your sims interact with it enough, it comes alive and takes care of the garden, I had no clue
  • Morgyn Whose-Last-Name-I-Forgot! And Akira Kibo, and Bella
  • Depending on my sims' personality, I like using the kleptomaniac trait to burglarize the Goth's mansion but can only last as long as they have valuables. I personally like writing more than painting, because it causes a steady influx of royalties and when the writer ends up maxing the writing skill the family gets access…
  • I never look at the price, but I always take 5 pics in case some of them are blurry or failed, especially when my Sims have low skill. The one I end up keeping isn't always the most expensive, I'm happy as long as it's been successfully taken. I think I actually do the opposite, if I have two identical pictures and there's…
  • Very late to the party on this one but I just discovered a few days ago that you could create custom holidays via the Calendars. And not just the generic stuff, there are actually a bunch of different holiday options planned for Halloween or Easter among other things, it's awesome! Little downside is that there are now…
  • The youngest heiress of the empire that my selfsim has founded has thrown a big Halloween party, during which her mother decided to die of old age. The heiress had been skipping most of the party to fool around with her boyfriend, so she happened to be extremely flirty when the time came to witness death. I had no hope,…
  • Is there an quick trick (in-game cheat function or mod) to make a Sim look at another Sim? I think I remember some kind of shift-menu cheat function from the Sims 2 that was called "Look At" and it was sooo handy when writing stories because you could just make any sim look at another across a room without making them…
