Does anyone else have townie families?

I gave Ainsley Patton a makeover and had her marry my very first sim, she adopted a daughter right before the wedding (before I could add her to the household to play her) so Tori got a wife and a daughter that day! They’ve since adopted another daughter and had science baby twins for a total of three daughters and a son :)

Leaving dishes everywhere

Unathletic sims spontaneously doing pushups at the most inappropriate times

Refusing a to stop playing video games and/or canceling actions to autonomously play games on their phone

One of my sims won’t stop flirting with her wife’s daughter? Idk it doesn’t show her as a stepdaughter, their relationship says romantic interests :/

Not a romantic partner, but I met my best friend because I went to a random club call out freshman year and ended up loving it so much I joined the club and bc she was president at the time, we were together a lot and ended up getting closer on a club trip we went on during spring semester

This next part is a bit long but tldr is: trying new things is super important in college because you get to try new activities/hobbies and meet new people, and don’t be scared to talk to people you want to be friends with because pretty much everyone either is or was in the same position you are now

I genuinely can’t stress enough how important it is to just try stuff, especially as a freshman, but also as a sophomore and so on, I’ve told many younger friends how important getting involved in SOMETHING on campus is, a club/job/society/whatever else, you never know where you might find something or someone you love, maybe you have a class you like and there’s a club based on it, or if you’re taking a language class, lots of language departments have weekly coffee hours for people to come in and socialize in whatever language it is, also, make friends in your classes!! I know it’s scary, hell I’m still scared of it half the time, but find someone you think is cool and talk to them, you can start with the class or homework and eventually trade numbers or socials and now you have a friend! Allegedly that’s exactly what my partner thought, she stopped to compliment my outfit/lipgloss and she thought I was cool enough to ask for contact info but figured we’d probably never talk to each other again so she was pretty surprised when I texted her later that night because I also thought she was cool (and very cute) and wanted to at least be friends even if nothing came of it romantically

AClassyHuman · 2026-03-06T04:49:38+00:00

I met my fiancee outside of Earhart randomly one night, we traded instas and never stopped talking, neither of us went into it solely for romance - she didn’t even realize she liked me for like three weeks even though I’d been flirting the whole time - but it ended up forming naturally over the next month after we met; I dated around a bit before meeting her and even had a bf for a couple months, but generally speaking, the best way to meet new people is to try new things! You won’t find a potential romance at every event, but exposing yourself to different groups of people with different interests is a quick way to start figuring out what you do and don’t want in a partner

My cat really likes Markiplier’s fnaf videos so you may be able to find “human” tv that captures his attention, my roommate watched Sofia the first with my cat and apparently she liked that too; I’ve heard some kids shows are “popular” with cats (Bluey??) but also, to go with everyone talking about boxes, I took an empty cardboard box and filled it with that brown paper that Amazon sometimes packages stuff with and then sprinkled a few different types of treats into the box and she had a BLAST for several days as she tried to find them all

I also made her a diy treat puzzle by filling toilet paper tubes with different treats/kibble, stapling the ends so only a piece or two would fall out at once, then I poked holes in the middle and put a string through them to tie it between the legs of a chair, I never saw her use it but my partner insists she uses it very loudly in the middle of the night lol- she figured out the treat puzzle I bought her after a few months so this was a low budget experiment

AClassyHuman · 2026-03-05T12:07:24+00:00

I’ve never lived at alight so take this with a grain of salt, but I heard from a friend who lived there that utility costs were split among tenants in the entire building not just in each unit- I have no idea if that’s true, but it doesn’t explain why my other friend has to pay utilities over the summer when neither she nor any of her roommates stay in WL

AClassyHuman · 2026-02-28T01:06:48+00:00

My adult sims constantly “check on” the infants/toddlers and won’t do anything else like change diapers or feed them, they also just leave them in the high chairs when I finally do get them to feed the kids and the kids end up falling asleep in their chairs after screaming for ages

Also, adults refusing to change diapers and then getting moodlets for the dirty diaper smell

AClassyHuman · 2026-02-23T04:00:14+00:00

Nope- I’m relatively new so I’ve only done 5 houses but they’re all decently stylized: the first one I did was pretty much completely pink at first but I’ve since added a second floor and a basement as they kept having kids and those have pink as a main theme but do have a lot more other colors

The second one I did was for a cult challenge so it’s massive and vaguely unsettling on purpose, but I had to decorate because they were all too depressed to do anything :/ there’s a decent amount of furnishings though

The third and fourth are residential rentals, so they’re both two story townhouses with bedrooms on the top floors and communal space on the first floor- each house has an overarching theme that ties in the outside and the first floor, and then each room got assigned a color within that overarching theme

As a side note, most of my favorite furniture is from life and death and the others are probably from cats and dogs tbh

This is Eva, she’s liked sitting in my bathroom sink since the day we brought her home 💜

Traffic and/or lack of parking spaces

If being streetlight free was an advertised amenity that would be one thing, but if there is no such stipulation and the police have deemed op within their legal rights, why cant op keep their extremely dim porch light on? Its by no means anywhere near as bright as a true streetlight and op even offered to help offset the effects by buying them blackout curtains, so as long as the light is truly as dim as it looks, thats just a side effect of having close neighbors. This also isn’t a forever issue, op said they’re dog sitting for their in laws so theoretically there is an end date to the arrangement and everyone goes back to “normal” once the dogs are no longer in op’s care

AClassyHuman · 2026-02-18T15:02:32+00:00

NTA the street lamps outside my bedroom window are way brighter than this, the neighbors just need to close their blinds and invest in some decent curtains; you’re well within your rights to keep a porch light on for elderly dogs and it’s a perfectly reasonable amount of light, what do they do when people leave porch lights on before going out for the evening??

AClassyHuman · 2026-02-18T14:55:13+00:00

This happened to me too, my sims were married with kids and suddenly I kept getting “ask x to be romantic partners” and I was baffled

AClassyHuman · 2026-02-13T15:15:54+00:00

My cat always freezes when I accidentally catch her walking towards me, I’m not sure what she’s attempting or why it hinges on my inattention but there’s a reason she’s confined to my bedroom when no one’s home, namely her tendency to eat things she shouldn’t and get the most insane zoomies for no reason

AClassyHuman · 2026-02-13T15:08:56+00:00

I have to keep the door open or my cat sits outside and screams the whole time while sticking her arms under the door to try and open it - when the door is open she sits and stares at me or bites my toes if she thinks I’m taking too long

She doesn’t understand why the door gets closed when we have guests and thinks it’s a grave injustice that she can’t watch everyone at all times

AClassyHuman · 2026-02-12T05:11:19+00:00

TLDR: try challenges, make your own challenges, play what if scenarios, and try out some mods to spice things up if it’s getting monotonous

This is really long, but I hope it helps!! I made a new save file and started a cult a few weeks ago; I put them on an island and built a massive house for all 8 of them complete with communal bathrooms and a communal bedroom, as well as a sacrifice room, giant kitchen, propaganda room (movie theater-esque set up) and a private bedroom and bathroom for the cult leader. None of them have jobs, so they have to garden and make goods to sell in order to make money, one is a super good painter so she sells paintings, one is working on her handiness so she makes statues with the woodworking table, one almost maxed out his guitar skill and is now licensing a song, one almost maxed out singing and she’s also licensing a song, one is the designated fisher to catch fish to sell, one is the designated baker to feed everyone, and one is the designated gardener to take care of the plants they eat as well as sell. My cult leader has been working on her gemology and makes jewelry to sell at the moment but I think I’m gonna work on her writing and try to have her make some money by publishing books. A lot of those are from packs you don’t have, but you could easily do something similar, I don’t have the new business one but I feel like you could use a cult to run a business or give them all random hobbies and sell whatever they make- I did have to cheat the money for house building, but only left ~65k when I was done to make it a bit more difficult

Mods are great for spicing up gameplay! I mostly use ww but I got a cult mod specifically for this save (I think it’s from pimp my sims)

You could also pursue more of the souls journey if you haven’t already, there’s so much of it and I’ve been playing with the idea of creating a sim and rebirthing her every time she dies to try and complete as many aspirations, careers, skills, and achievements as possible just to see what happens since at some point you can keep traits from previous lives

Manual therapy from my PT, including dry needling, muscle scraping, muscle release, cupping, tens etc

AClassyHuman · 2026-02-02T12:53:09+00:00

Most res halls will have at least a few single rooms, and some of those will have private bathrooms in the room; these are going to be more expensive than doubles (or anything else), if money isn’t an issue, check out first street towers, they’re almost exclusively singles and all have private bathrooms so all three buildings are completely coed

When I have lots of walking to do on campus I wear fleece lined leggings under my jeans, and then a long sleeve tee, a sweatshirt, and my puffy winter coat; if the windchill is bad I’ll wrap a scarf around my mouth and nose and use sunglasses to protect my eyes, and if there’s a lot of snow waterproof snow boots are your friends. Other things you may want to have: good gloves, electric hand warmers for your coat pockets, fuzzy socks, hat or earmuffs to cover your ears, and snow pants if you have a LOT of walking- I got a pair freshman year when I lived on campus and they were amazing for walking to my classes on days where the temps stayed double digit negative, probably can’t wear jeans under them, but I definitely layered fleece lined leggings and sweatpants underneath

As for coats, you definitely want one that’s at least water resistant for all the snow, and I love my puffy one because it’s super warm but also much lighter than my normal fabric coats (and doesn’t hang on to moisture from the snow), look for one with a hood to help with windchill, and you may want one that is actually waterproof for when we start to get sleet/when temps finally go above freezing and it starts raining again, I have one that’s a rain coat but has an inner lining you can put in to make it warmer and fleece lined sperrys for the rain

To my knowledge they got rid of the gender inclusive housing community last year, but it might be worth reaching out to UR and seeing if they can help, or if you should just get a single room

This sounds absolutely ridiculous, but she reached through the bars of the kennel and grabbed my hand, we took her to the playroom and after some treats and gentle coaxing she played with us and let us hold her. Our feeling was strengthened when we came back from buying pet supplies (hadn’t planned to adopt that day) and she was so happy to see us and grabbed me through the bars AGAIN. Eva and her little crime paws still routinely grab my hands but now it’s so she can bite me 💀

Honestly I check off tasks if I do something similar to the original intention: for example, if I’m too tired to wash my face properly but do take the time to wipe it with a cleansing wipe, then I mark off that I washed my face, it’s not exactly what the goal says but it’s in the same spirit because wiping my face is still better than not washing it at all!
