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! Your solution turned out to be unpractical. Are you sure I can't have a ponytail, without the horse?
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.
Townie Fashion Police
Sul sul, Simmers. Townie Fashion Police was one of my favorite threads in the "old forum." It was always good for a few laughs. Z and I think it's time to bring it back, and so does our friend Daniel. When your festival attire is more outlandish than that of the cosplayer you're sitting with, that's a job for the Townie Fashion Police. "What did I do to deserve this?" Daniel asks the camera. At least he has a tasty cheeseburger to enjoy.
Visit Middle-earth
It started with the Golden years ring necklace and how it reminded me of Frodo Baggins. I ended up creating Frodo and thought Frodo would be lonely without Sam, so I created him too. Frodo could have been adventurous and his aspiration could have been outdoor enthusiast, but I decided bestselling author would be more fun. Frodo knows Elvish language, so he is proper (I considered bookworm too). Sam could have been foodie, but glutton is funnier. Sam's love for Bill the Pony made him animal enthusiast 😊 I would love to create Merry and Pippin too, because they would get goofball and foodie traits, but I would have quite many hobbits in my game then, so I have to think about it 😅 Saruman has been in my game for years and today I tried to create Sméagol/Gollum as demanded by Simmingal 😄 I would have loved to give Gollum soulmate aspiration, because of its description, but it wouldn't have really worked gameplay wise so he got angling ace instead 🐟
Best career outfit ever
Yesterday I started to play a new family. The mother of the family joined the social media career. At the end of the work day I noticed she had a career outfit that was quite ... different. This screenshot was taken in CAS just before I set her careeroutfit to something more senseble. If someone would ask me to make the weirdest career outfit ever, I honestly wouldn't be able to come up with a result like this.
I Never knew!
So I normally build or hop form family to family but, I decided I was going to stick to one family and finally get a legacy going. Anyway second gen, I decided to send her to university and, got her the soccer scholarship. Got a notification she hurt her arm, didn’t think much about it until I saw the bandage!! How have I never noticed they just pop on and stay on until it’s ‘healed’. Love finding random things after playing for 25 years 🙈 a lot of you prob knew about this but I had never seen it lol. Anyone else have anything like this happen to them? sorry for the bad photo I snapped it for a friend who had also never seen it before lol
Loyal trait fun fact (W and V)
Today I found out a curious fact. If your werewolf possesses the loyal trait, he can be friends with a vampire much more easily and gets a special moodlet. It was a nice surprise ❤️ A bond forged by the night (For the "Loyal" trait) Friendships between vampires and werewolves might be frowned upon, but those between loyal sims prevail over any occult laws! 12 hours Confident +3
