sunnyday-rae said: I LOVE belladonna cove!! Haven’t played much of strangetown but I should!
It looks promising. Unfortunately, my PC has been acting up (I’m pretty sure it’s the new graphics card) lately and does not mesh well with Belladonna (or Middleground for that matter. Strangetown works, weirdly enough).
didilysims said: Wow. It blows my mind that people can be so rude. Perfect response though. 😀
Eh, who does that sort of thing as some sort of power play has to deal with the consequences. Not even sorry.
katatty-main said: my favourite outcome is cassandra leaving HIM at the altar, but yeah, none of the optinos are fantastic
Oh yes! I remember meetme did this once and it was glorious. Hard to achieve in-game with the setup we got, unfortunately.
It’s just a very disappointing scenario that… kind of leads nowhere. Also, Cassandra really lacks wedding options (her age).
jaydesims said: Maybe pair Cassandra with Mary-Sue? 😛
Would be an idea, but for that, she would have to catch Daniel cheating first (and he’s been a doting husband in that save).
reblogged this
and added:
What’s that symbol on top of Alexander’s head? Marriage cancelled? LOL Don is the absolute worst
It’s a memory of his sister being left at the altar, I think.
wearyvagabond said: Nvidia GTX 1060 works great with Sims 2 after minimal fiddling; I’d definitely recommend upgrading
itsyedude said: It’s best to get the 10 series over the 7 series since it’ll be supported longer. So definitely go for a GTX 1050 Ti. A GTX 1060 GTX will pretty much run almost anything without issue.
Thank you for your suggestions. I will look into it.
katatty-main said: oooh, exciting!! 😀
I don’t think I’ve ever played a neighbourhood for that long. Except for that one I played like ten years ago, but I just kept on adding Sims to it (and didn’t play on a rotational basis), so I’m not sure it counts.
sushigal007 said: Good luck! And on the bright side, you’ve got a whole lot of material to work with!
God, I wish. Unfortunately, our history department is like really old-fashioned and strongly advises us to only use published sources (books and academic articles, basically). They only allowed us to use online sources this year, and highly limit what we can and cannot use. Otherwise, I would probably just print out every tweet Trump’s ever made regarding his politic on Russia and hand that in… so maybe it’s a good idea to impose those restrictions?
simspressionism said: German titles are so weird most of the time
SO MANY FORCED PUNS! Stuff that’s only half translated. Fantasy books that are named after their protagonists. I would like to meet the marketing teams that come up with those titles…
Sorry, life’s crazy right now (also, I’m pretty sure I missed some replies, I’m sorry!)
didilysims said: Aw what a cute idea! Darn roaches, spoiling the field trip. 😦
It was the evil witch! It’s all her fault. Maybe I should send Kaylynn to “talk” to her…
didilysims said: We’ll love and support you no matter what your dreams are. 😉 Good luck on all the studying. You can do it!
Thanks! I actually passed it (with a B+- whooop!), so no weird career choices for me!
holleyberry said: Perhaps Orlando will need glasses.
I’m sorry, but I think something got lost in translation here? Why would he need glasses to go on a date?
holleyberry said: Oh boy.
I was so into the idea of Sophie and Timothy as a couple. And then THIS! Oh boy indeed.
eulaliasims said: Maybe graduate her and make her a townie if you don’t feel like adding her to the playable population?
holleyberry said: I was going to suggest turning her into a townie too. Or Honorary citizen! Maybe move her into an existing house, like with Jan, or something.
katatty-main said: i think making her a townie is a good option, too! you can use that “age up with” feature after that, maybe?
Thank you guys! Sure, turn her into a townie! Why didn’t I think of that! Damn… (Although, the thought of making her playable and moving her in with Jan… Sophie’s LTW would actually make for a pretty interesting story line…)
katatty-main said: as far as i know, nodormieregen will only stop random generations,it doesnt supress them altogether so dormies will still appear if dorm rooms need filling, kinda like hiw NPCs generate when needed. to stop dormies altogether ud need a different mod 😦
Ah, yeah, I guess that’s it. Although I could have sworn that I had empty dorm rooms before…
annegirl13 said: I have a student who informed me the other day that he was a bird. He proceeded to chirp and squawk at me for about 10 minutes. It was cute. 🙂
How cute! That girl also informed me that I was her mom now. Even have a little goodbye letter signed with “Best of luck to you, Mom Miss S.” Kind of cute, kind of concerning. I loved it there.
meetmetotheriver said: Do you have the nosecretsociety whatever mod too?
I don’t think so. Regardless, even without it, dormies have never spawned in my neighbourhoods (but I’ll try it, maybe the no dormies whatsoever was actually a bug XD).
katatty-main said: are they sprawning to fill empty dorms or spawning randomly?
Empty dorms (your Casteroff dormitory, actually). Moved four students in, four were randomly generated.
didilysims said: The nice thing is that with the different districts it’s easy to pick a theme (colours & styles, etc.) for each area. Once you’ve figured that out, it’s just a matter of copy, paste, and reworking to make it fit the particular lot! Although sometimes the weird floor plans can be a challenge…
Yeah, but the apartment lots are just sooo much work (I do, however, really love the industrial area- so nice!).
hunnybunnysims said: I feel this. My father sustained a disabling injury so I’m his primary carer. It’s hard when it’s a parent who suddenly becomes a dependent. Best wishes and hugs!
Family caretakers unite! No, but seriously, I feel so bad for feeling mad/sad/annoyed at times, but then again, it IS a pretty big deal (and was a huge life change) and my feelings are valid, too, I guess. I just hope she’ll be able to walk again (looking good so far- but baby steps. Literally.). For her own sanity. Being trapped in a house all day must be maddening. Thanks for the hugs and good luck to you and your father.
Wow, you guys are very chatty today. XD
twofee said: water safety courses are awesome. had so much fun with my lifeguarding class in highschool. im jealous of your skin diving, ive never gotten to do anything cool like that.
Yeah, it is fun AND it is an important skill to learn. It’s very sad to see how many kids cannot swim or are very insecure when swimming. The people who taught me how to swim are doing a very important job (I believe they are actually volunteers, so… wow.).
I’m kind of sad that I’ll never get to use skin diving outside of pools (I’m not very fond of open water and all the things that live in there). But yeah, it’s a cool skill to have.
littleblondesim said: Names are so interesting, yes! The name I think is tainted the most around where I am is “Steven”. I also like looking at how a name changes based on when and where it is. Like, Mary/Maria, etc.
It’s really sad that “Kevin” became a ‘tainted’ name, because, it’s a nice name. But it was a name that was very en vogue around the time I was born. That and the fact that English-sounding names are often perceived as lower class names (class has become a huge factor in naming your kids- parents are afraid that they’ll disadvantage their kids if they give them the wrong names). Add in a discussion about a paper that claimed that teachers hate “Kevins” with a fiery passion because they are unruly, wild children and parents afraid of being associated with the lower class and ‘problematic’ children and you have effectively tainted a name for at least 50 years… Seriously, “Kevin” and “Chantal” are now the cliche names for poor, stupid, lower class people my age- and that paper that started all was basically bullshit from an academic point of view…
A currently popular variant of Mary/Maria in my country is “Mia”. It’s actually the number 1 girl name right now (depending which statistic you trust- there are several different ones out there, some counting first and middle names, some counting them separately). “Mila” is also becoming popular, and “Marie” is the most popular middle name here…
Yeah, as you can see, I’m very passionate about names. XD
littleblondesim said: Also, I found this yesterday which you might be interested in:time.com/3856405…
Aw, it doesn’t even know my name! To be fair it’s a very rare German name, only somewhat known among Catholics…
katatty-main said: haha, i was playing veronaville and he greeted her with a kiss even though theyre enemies!! nuts.
This could make for a very interesting story. And a very, very dysfunctional relationship…
katatty-main said: i dunno about vampires being out of the question, the desert gets pretty dark at night!! plus olive makes a fantastic vampire, the whole black widow thing…
I’m from western Europe, so I’ve never even seen a desert. Uh, yes, Olive would be a great vampire, I mean, she’s already got the whole aesthetic… Slowly but surely, Strangetown turns into a wild card. Maybe make it a supernatural sanctuary, @sajlica?
Sorry for the delay, guys, I got addicted to Animal Crossing again, and then I got a cold thanks to my cousins’ grandmother, who insisted on doing all the kitchen work while sick. Anyway…
davidmont said: Rude™
Well, not everyone is into smooches on their first date ever. XD
davidmont said: LOL
Seriously, for having such a limited “inventory” in contrast to Sims, I’m soo much better at decorating in Happy Home Designer. Don’t know why. Maybe IT IS because of the limited items…
eulaliasims said: I never noticed how much detail the train set has! The houses on it are really cute. 😮
It is! I’ve always had a soft spot for it (if only it wouldn’t take up so much damn space…)
littleblondesim said: I adore this map, too! I also once had a thought of recreating it. I’d love to see a take on it. 🙂
*sigh* If only I was good at creating terrains in SimCity 4…
katatty-main said: i never thought about recreating this map! it’s super cute.
It’s adorable, isn’t it. The amount of detail in this…
katatty-main said: do you watch the uk im a celeb, or is there a german version? i’m in england and its popular here, but not as much as it used to be, maybe?
We have our own version, which airs in January (aka right now). Casting highlights include a guy who was the boyfriend of a Germany’s Next Top Model contestant (and broke up with her on air or sth?) and a woman with severe phobias who somehow decided that being a contestant in a show filmed in a jungle was a good idea. The commentary is pretty good, though. Most people only watch it for that, the contestants seem to get more boring every year (don’t follow it very closely).
