What Are Your Merfolk Doing Today 2.0
Since the old thread has multiple broken links and things are different here. I decided to create a 2.0 version of the old thread I created. I thought I would create this thread as a variant of the “What happened in Your Game Today?” thread. Serial and non-serial updates are welcome. Any mermadic discoveries in the Sims are more than welcome, including discoveries while using mods. Let's give our MerSims the spotlight here! Tips for what to share: The Only Rules: Keep the updates focused on merfolk! Denizens of the sea like Cecelia, Kelpies, and other variations of ocean dwellers are welcome here.
I did dumpster diving 1,000 times to see the items
Okay so, I did a thing and made my sims dumpster dive around 1,000 times (yes, I counted) and kept all the items I found and collected them together to see the general range of items you can find from dumpsters. I love doing challenges where I need to furnish my whole home without using buy mode at all but I've struggled a lot to find especially kitchen counters and been wondering could I furnish a kids bedroom with dumpster items. So, I did an experiment with 25 dumpsters and 8 sims in one lot. All the sims were freegans and had the collector bonus trait and I used only the "dive for deals" option. In the pictures you can see the results, there's everything I found - except dyes (I threw them away to create more trash, there were soo many of them) and upgrade parts. As you can see, I found e.g. 33 bikes, 11 fridges, 4 ovens, 26 beds, 4 computers, 18 TVs (I'm laughing how I got 7 of the framed TVs from the "Cozy Celebrations Event" that aren't even available yet lol), 17 bathtubs, 2 showers, 4 toilets,3 normal counters and 8 islands. I didn't count how much money I found but the largest single amount I found was 248 simoleons. I know there's other stuff you can find as well but I think this is pretty interesting from thousand dumpster dives. The small number of showers, toilets and kitchen counters is crazy. I also noted that I didn't find a single bookshelf, no skill items, and very few collectibles, I did this for my own interest but thought to share the results in case someone else might be interested too 😄 I don't know if there are some factors that affect what type of items you find (the lot type? neighbourhood? world?), feel free to share if you have any insight on that.
Magicomedies Vol. 2
Update: First Diary of a Magical Mischief Maker post is now complete! This is a page where I'll post random little comedy episodes from my sims' lives. I don't currently have time to write a full series, but like to create a bit of humour when I can. Hope you enjoy! I must apologise for such long posts but until I figure out how to put spoilers in replies I am having to post everything in one post for each story. Recommended age viewing is 12/13 + due to some of the content and language used.

Funny pics
Do you ever capture pictures from fun or awkward situations in your game? Often my sims will make me smile just because they did position weirdly, making a totally normal situation look funny. - Hello again, Hairdresser, I got a complaint!

Day and Knight Gen 7 NEW UPDATE!
Hello, dear readers! After the change to the Sims Forums, my Day and Knight thread was moved over but because of how cumbersome this forum is, those who've already read through the generations 1-6 and were waiting for more in Generation 7 would be absolutely LOST when trying to find a new post. I honestly am not sure how this forum will work exactly. If you're new to this story--Day and Knight was based off of the I'm a Lover Challenge. Wildly popular, this story followed the life of Alex Day and his romance journey. This lead to the legacy's start with a crazy, harrowing plot and many twists to the story. If you'd like to start on the journey, please go here: DAY AND KNIGHT GEN ONE For those who can't be bothered with a long read, start with GENERATION SEVEN. I will be updating here and on my wordpress site. Here's the newest chapter:DAY AND KNIGHT GENERATION 7.31 ENJOY!!! Love, pammiechickDoes anyone else play this way? (Rotational gameplay)
I have been playing the sims for years. I started playing with Sims 3 about a 1-2 years before the Sims 4 came out and started playing ts4 upon release and I’ve always played mostly rotationally. I used to play with one household until my founders died then create another and just let the first household fend for itself while checking in every once in a while, but now I play exclusively in rotations with only families that I’ve made because: I enjoy playing the sims that I make and creating different household dynamics ( large families, young couple starting out, grandparents raising their grandchildren etc) I get so bored playing with one household in the slower moments when they are having to go to work/ school and nothing is going on for 2-3 days at a time ( I’ve always been this way for me, even with ts3) it adds so much variety and to see how multiple families grow and interact. i get to experiment with the different career paths and aspirations as well as different methods to achieving them without having to wait until someone the next gen picks that career/aspiration im generally really impatient and like to move around a lot 🤣 I know that rotational gameplay itself is not new at all but I’ve never seen someone play the way that I do. The typical rules for rotational play are: Auto- Aging is off for either everyone or unplayed sims which means you’ll either be manually aging everyone or turning on/off auto-aging between rotations Stay in the household between 3-7 in game days I’ve seen some rules state to turn off neighborhood stories to ensure you can control who is doing what when it comes to moving, having children etc The only difference I have with most I’ve seen who play is I allow aging to stay on and I keep neighborhood stories on for unplayed households. So all of my rules are : Auto aging is on for all households ( long lifespan) Leave households every Sunday (with the exception of weddings and births because I want to name all children) All households that are not in my rotation have neighborhood stories on No cheating for money unless it’s part of the family’s initial story (rich family moving into town etc) Adoption and science babies allowed for 1 sibling every other generation ( if there is an adoption in gen 3, no adoptions until gen 5) Currently I am playing 9 households (originally it was 5 the other 4 are new branch offs of them) I would like to create more, but I know these 9 will become more as the next gens grow up 🥲 I like this method of playing because everyday is different and I think it keeps things fresh. I like seeing the my other sims walking around in the background, living their lives. I don’t like feeling like a “God” over the characters (if that even makes sense 😭) and having super control over every detail. I like letting a story naturally unfold, while managing and guiding their choices. While I’ve been playing, two of the funniest unplanned scenarios were: (Starting family : YA woman, man and their dog) - I’d just updated their house so they had about $700 simoleons in their account, the women was pregnant and at work (criminal career) and the husband was at home. He can’t cook so he died by fire the day before the baby was born so she had to quit her criminal career & turn her life around because she had to take care of the newborn and a dog. She got a job as a babysitter and started painting on the side. Now she has a new husband $30,000 in the bank and paints full time. It was a struggle to get them to that point but they’re my favorite household now. (Starting family: a couple and their twins, m&f) As the twins grew up their parents continued to have more children, causing a financial burden so great that they had to fit 6 people into a two bedroom house. Both twins found love but since the family only had about $4,000 in the bank, the parent had no money to help them move out with their loves. The girl twin married a friend from childhood and ended up in one of the richest townie families, going from sharing a bunk bed with her brother to living in a mansion with 1,000,000 in their account ( this was completely unplanned as I don’t play the townie families and didn’t know who lived where) So I really enjoy how much randomness can be in the game when played rotationally. I used to play on pc but I had to switch to console but once I’m back on pc I want to improve my game play using mods to : Decrease the likelihood of pregnancy ( I feel like everytime I try for a baby I have one and that’s not realistic. I’d like it to go down at least to 50%) increasing the length of my sims lives to at least 1000 in game days make the seasons longer( I know there currently isn’t a mod for this but a gal can dream) What do you think? Could you play like this? Sidenote: I did find ONE other creator that keeps aging on and increased her sims lives to 2400 days. let me know if you all know anymore https://simsarahsarah.tumblr.com/howiplay
