I think that it is great that sims can be left or right handed! @LennyOgg 🙂
It is very helpful that we can scale down ovens and they are still usable. It helps a lot with having space to place them in kitchens.

Was just starting a new experimental save with a sim (Cayden) who has slob, geek and loves outdoors - wanted to see if Cayden would be offered a trait swap from slob to neat due to change in gameplay habits ie cleaning up, putting books away, washing up…. I’d started him in a micro home with the well-rounded scenario to quickly get some aspiration bonuses. To finish another level on eco-innovator aspiration, he joined the civil designer career. First work from home assignment was to acquire recycled materials. Suddenly Cayden was all tense and had a tense moodlet with the recycling symbol on it.
It read:Tense +2.
Forced to recycle.
(From being lazy or a slob)
I bet they just throw this stuff in the dump.
8 hours.
I just love the way some of these descriptions and lore are written.
I hadn’t thought about the fact that the career was in opposition to Cayden’s trait as well. Poor Cayden might be in for a rather tense period until he gets offered that trait swap. I’m not sure I will be able to keep causing him this stress long enough for the trait swap to be offered.
It is great to read what you discovered with Cayden @OzSimsFamily i hadn’t realised that a sim with the slob trait wouldn’t really like doing recycling, so would feel tense in the civil designer career. Thanks for letting us know! I feel sorry for Cayden! 🙂
@OzSimsFamily better plan on lot of showers or baths. Also have him calm down using a mirror.

Unfortunately, @simgirl1010 the showers don’t calm him because of his slob trait. So it’s going to be lots of hours in front of the mirror, watching tv and possibly jogging now that he has been to the gym once. I forgot to try blogging on the computer - I usually only use blogging when sims are sad from witnessing death or losing loved ones (blogging their memories and celebrating the life of the sim that died). It is going to be interesting to see what actually does work for stress relief.
Perhaps playing video games in the gaming cube may help him or doing yoga @OzSimsFamily
Did you know that you can cross stich and puzzle from reference with your own designs?
For cross stitching you need skill level 5, for puzzles it works right away

Jack took a photo from the river. It's not finished yet because Jack isn't very patient ^^'

The cross stitching from paint by reference feature is a great feature in the game! @LennyOgg 🙂 I have my sims do that quite a lot. It makes very nice wall art.
- PandoraTO1 year agoSeasoned Ace@OzSimsFamily, if you have Parenthood, he can also write in a journal when he’s tense. He’ll gain Writing skill at the same time.

I didn't know at least half the things mentioned here! Neat.
