I Never Knew I Was Doing It Wrong :O

My Sims taught me how to build a Rocketship.
I was doing it wrong before in real life, but yesterday I launched that beauty for the first time and....you wouldn't believe the things I've seen.
Marvelous. Marvelous. <3

Make your garden grow year round by shoving the planters up against the wall (where the roof overhang covers them).

Woohoo. I didn't realize it started out like a Superbowl party but that knowledge changed my life. Go Team!

Your responses made me chuckle. Thanks for that it's been a rough day.

That actually has some real life application. I have had things survive the winter against the southern foundation when others of the same species didn't make it through the winter. So, surprisingly accurate, sims team! ?

Don't forget, when you make garden salad, pick at your earwax for that extra something.

In watching my Sim make scrambled eggs and bacon in the game, it occurred to me that in Real Life I was doing it wrong. Of course, we're supposed to dump all of the ingredients into a large bowl, mix it up and pour everything into a single frying pan. D'oh, I could have had a V-8.

So, what has your Sim taught you how to do, recently?

I'll be honest, I actually do sometimes just dice a pack of bacon... or buy a pack of already diced pancetta... and throw it right into the bowl of eggs with some diced veggies, and fry it all up together, because it really is easier. But I am as lazy as some of our dear sims. :D

(Now, when I actually have free time, nothing beats oven baked bacon brushed with a little bit of maple syrup.)

Same. I mean, unlike the sims, your plants won't actually grow and bloom, but it will definitely keep some things alive. I have some potted berries and fruit trees in large containers, and I do just drag them up against the house in late fall. They get enough cold and dark to go dormant, but enough heat radiates off the foundation to keep the roots alive.

I've learned from my Sims that I've been eating meals wrong my whole life. I've been sitting at the kitchen table. You've just got to stand up and walk around with your plate and hug people who talk to you while you're eating. Thank you Sims. :wink:

Don't forget to sometimes take your plate and sit on the toilet while eating too. What goes in must come out, so it really saves a lot of time.

@Stormkeep ewww :joy: My Sims are not allowed to do that. They are only allowed to get as far as the living room with their dinner plate to watch tv, any other way they are walking, like outside, to the bathroom, to a bedroom, and they get autonomy off and forced back to the table. :joy: Don't know how people play with autonomy fully on ...
