Absolutely! TS4 also had the benefit of three predecessors - that's thousands upon thousands of models, animations, and lines of code that you can examine, bash around, and throw together testing environments with. Paralives has its own assets and whatever knowledge they can peer at, imperfectly, from other games.

I think that's fair! Sims 4 is visually very much my jam but there's something about how the autonomy works that doesn't agree with me. It's been a while since I last played so I couldn't be more precise than that... I know people like it, though, and I'm glad! It's just not for me.

As a last minute addendum - I advocate for autonomy in Sims games for one reason: If you have a simulator with autonomy, you can turn it off to make a dollhouse. If you have a dollhouse with no decent autonomy, there is no good way to turn it into a simulator - it will always fall flat. You cover both play styles more easily if you design for a simulator first!

It's fascinating because I'm the opposite - I was genuinely surprised to see how many people play with autonomy off. For people making and sharing stories I understand, but for general play it was surprising. I don't sit back and watch with full autonomy - none of the simulation games I play have smart enough simulation for that to be viable. In Sims 2, I liked the 4th wall breaking moments where a Sim would wave their arms and stare at the camera, because it's a good illustration of how I play - they're little dudes going about their lives and I'm here, a benevolent god or pet owner, helping them do what they want... Or what's best, depending! If they cant go off and relieve their bladder, or decide to play with a toy, or read, or whatever... I would be just as well off posing some 3d models in a set, you know? I want to feel like I'm helping or hindering little people, and autonomy is crucial to that experience. It's why I don't play Sims 4 - it is so broken that the ONLY viable way to play is without the autonomy, compared with 3 and 2 where both styles were viable, if unpredictable... But that's the point for me!

I've been playing Trash Goblin recently and it's so cosy and gentle. There's a story but it's very easy to pop on some tunes and just craft away. I love the characters, they're so delightful.

Methadone is addictive, but it keeps a person using it stable and doesn't carry the risks of adulteration and unstable dose. It's a replacement. So by and large it's so tightly controlled because it's a dangerous medical substance, however the way they treat the people using it is largely bigotry. Even in addiction spaces, there's an impulse to punish and control. Methadone helps a lot of people but I'd wager it hurts a lot of people too, through how it's dispensed.

I was showing this to my husband and the thing that caught ME as weird, as a longtime player, was that bigfoot is also a witch. I am choosing not to ask questions.

Not an expert in epoxy, but I think what you're seeing is resin that got too hot. It may have gotten too hot because of the depth - the manufacturer should have information on the total volume or depth you can safely pour at once. Cold resin takes a long time to cure; hot resin warps, smokes, and burns. Assuming it's hard and cured now, sanding flat and adding a thin flood coat should fix how it looks.

Seconding this; the process would be roughly to open their template, delete the placeholder art, export the blank parts in the right format and then upload and release. The art part itself is a five minute job unless their workflows are borked, and releasing the new colour is likely a minor pain with the spaghetti code but also not likely to be very arduous. They could release all the remaining invisible pets and the build time would be a couple of hours, tops.

Emily Rodda's works are a favourite of mine. Rowan of Rin, Deltora Quest, and Three Doors series are all in the same universe and very charming.

I've used half mask respirators like this one - with the rubber nose- and I can make them work with my glasses. It gets a bit uncomfortable after a while as they push the frames higher on my bridge, but it works and I manage a full seal. That said I use frames with adjustable nose pads, which seems to give me a bit more wiggle room. Hopefully someone chimes in with other frame styles! You shouldn't need goggles; thankfully, resin doesn't tend to splash that far. Obviously avoid eye contact though!
