So then, I am slowing down a little with these fun facts unfortunately.
But here's a fun fact on burn-out.
Mental traits (like Genius) slow down Mental burn-outs while creative traits (like Creative) slow down Creative burn-outs.
But what if your sim already has burn out?
Well, here are some activities that help with both mental and creative burn outs:
- Crafting an outstanding object.
- Quitting the current job.
- Complaining about burnout.
- Taking a vacation.
- Taking it easy at work.
- Being in good mood.
So then... Did you know that some factors affect how likely is your pet to get sick.
These things will increase the chance of your pet getting sick:
- Eating spoiled food
- Having Lazy trait
- Being an elder
However, if the pet has exercised recently, they are less likely to become sick.
If you give a pet a Wellness Treat or the Cone of Shame, they are temporarily immune to any illness.
In addition, ghost pets and Servos (I don't know why that had to be specified) cannot be sick. Kittens and puppies are also immune.
So yeah, my recommendation is that when you have to visit a vet, buy some Wellness Treats after getting your pet treated.

So then, on the topic of log-in rewards...
This is the list of foods you can buy from the new vending machine (every non-Kit DLC included):
So yeah, worth it or not, depends on your worldview...

This is just some information about the new kits that were released today
If simmers are looking for the rocks with waterfalls that came with the Riviera Retreat kit, they are in the outdoor water decor -fountain decorations section.
The drinks tray that came with the Riviera Retreat kit can be restocked with mint citrus nectar.
These are links to the 2 builds that Maxis has released that showcase the 2 kits.Riviera Retreat Poolhouse

So then, the engagement system introduced this feature since Eco Lifestyle: if you move too fast, the proposal will be rejected with a special message.
However, it turns out that:
- This only comes into play after the first kiss (as the message does say "We just shared our first kiss"). This means that if you use other interactions to skip the first kiss part, you can speedrun the marriage. You can get that first kiss after the proposal. Better yet, the kiss that happens when sims get married also counts as their first kiss.
- If your sims did have their first kiss, then you'll have to wait 6 hours after that. Proposing during that time will get your sim rejected. The relationship bit that does that is hidden, so you'll have to check the time. If you didn't, the next day it'll always be ok to propose.
So yeah, that's how you strategize around this system.

The Video Station can be used by 2 sims at once. One can record videos while the other edits.

It is a great helpful tip about the trash and the bonfire @simgirl1010 🙂 It is great to know that.

Good guess!
@EgonVM I have city living and never got invited to watch performance. Is this feature still available?
Haven't had my sim be invited there either lately.
Took a look into tuning files. It seems like it can be made by a friend not in the household at around 7:00 PM or 8:00 PM. They also mustn't have any negative sentiments.
I'll have to see it closer. It might also be that there are other drama nodes that get chosen (and there can be a lot of them), but I'm not sure about that...
