PLEASE let him keep the outfit

Oh, I pretty much always keep grow-up outfits, especially if it’s a full-body outfit like that one. If they grow up into mismatching, migraine-inducing separates, then, yeah, I’ll just keep one piece or the other and give them a top/bottom that better matches the piece I keep, but I keep the “theme” of whichever piece I keep. 

Really, I see grow-up outfits as something of an expression of a Sim’s personality. Like, if as a girl-child they wore a frilly pink outfit and then when they age up to teen they suddenly goth out or something, that tells me something about them. I mean, I know that it’s really just completely random, but for the purposes of adding to the Sim’s character, it tells me something. So, yeah, Emerson’s outfit tells me something about him, along with how he generally behaves. I never have any plans for my pixels so I take any cues from them that I can get.

hehe, cool , better than the ballet tutu I keep having when male kids grow up to teens :)

See, that would tell me something about them! ;) But no, as amusing as it might be, I wouldn’t want everyone running around in tutus so...Yeah, I’d probably change that. *laugh*

That swimming hole looks lit.    

It’s a pretty cool lot. I didn’t really build it, though. It’s a lot I downloaded and then deleted pretty much everything but the swimmable “pond” part. I do know how to make those, but it’s kind of a pain in the ass to do it, so I just use that downloaded lot and “remodel” it as necessary for the neighborhood I plop it into.

But yeah, lots of drama and friend/enemy-making happen there, so it’s just fun to sit back and watch pixels play or fight or just do endless belly flops into the pond. :)

Annnnnnd regarding the Beatles, since apparently the Activity page won’t go this far back anymore???? Or is that just me? Well, anyway...                

@holleyberry I know, I know! See, I think Paul McCartney and John Lennon are/were wonderful, top-notch songwriters. But singers? Um...Not so much. Especially not when they’re singing together. Sometimes, they hurt my ears. I like George Harrison a lot, though! 

@taylors-simblr Yep, I am a heathen heretic in MANY ways! *laugh* Even so, I prefer your 2-year-old’s preference to my kids’ preference when they were toddlers/young children. They would only listen (and dance) to Britney Spears from around 2000. Oops! I Did it Again over and over and over and...although in my son’s case, ~6-year-old him singing and sashaying around to that song has made for excellent blackmail material nowadays, now that he’s a Big Bad Special Forces guy who probably kills people for a living, so I guess I shouldn’t complain...

kayleigh-83 said: I think there are mods available out there that will stop the witches from spawning on community lots? I’m sure I’ve seen something like that around! Probably on MATY or something.

Oh yeah, there definitely is! But I don’t personally want to stop them from spawning. On any other day, I’d be quite happy to see a witch, but I was just being extra cautious as this was such an important event in the legacy. And like I said, I don’t trust this game not to crash at the worst possible moment heheh. That’s despite the fact my game is actually running the best it ever has! No crashes yet or anything! And that’s on windows 10 which I thought was meant to be a nightmare (I’m probably jinxing it oooops...)

kayleigh-83 said: True story - I once moved six Sims I created into an existing household so I could townify them, and realized after they added the $20K each to the household moneys. The household funds cheat didn’t work because I had three households with that same last name, so I bought six helicopters and put them in my Sim’s inventory, and gifted them all to the next townie who walked past. She seemed fairly unimpressed considering the windfall she just got!

It’s so frustrating that the household funds cheat doesn’t work when you have multiple households with the same name! But that was a good workaround haha. Townie should definitely be more grateful!

kayleigh-83 said: Oops hit enter by mistake haha.. I want to dilly dally through their lives so slowly, but with others I want to speed parts up if I’m bored. Luckily the elixir lets me do both depending on when they drink it! kayleigh-83 said: lol this is why I love the elixir of life so much. With some Sims I want I dill

I’ve never actually used the elixir of life! But then it’s such a long time since I’ve attempted to play a family for a full generation or longer. I’m just such a slow simmer and take so long to play a single day haha. I prefer it that way though, dilly dallying as you call it.

Furnishings discount pop-up replies:

kayleigh-83 said: You know I’ve seen it before, but I never really thought about it or noticed if there was some kind of discount on anything in the buy catalogue? Now I’m gonna have to look it up…..

So I’m pretty sure it does give you a discount! It seems if a buy an item and then sell it, I actually make a (small) profit. It feels like cheating hahaha. I don’t know if there’s any way to disable this though? I’d imagine it be a bit annoying if you were doing a poverty challenge or something.
