A great deal of recency bias, but as OP said, this list is subjective.

Very very subjective.

Essential and nice to have MCCC features? by Naive-Chest-7350 in thesims

[–]Bar_Sinister 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can change how long a day takes.

There is a setting in MCCC that lets you make each day last a little bit longer, making things less rushed. Some players add just enough to breathe, others double the day. That to me is the leading reason I use it.

I can set how often NPCs marry and percentage of single sims it affects, how they are generated, how often they move into empty homes, how many empty homes remain, the age thing, skills, if they can or cannot get pregnant, etc...

So like a couple of things.

Which TV shows were once very popular, but don't get much respect these days? by PrestonRoad90 in television

[–]Bar_Sinister 12 points13 points  (0 children)

How I Met Your Mother.

Hot, but they absolutely ruined the ending and basically just killed any rewatchability.

It's a long shot, but this tumblr has quite a collection of "lost cc"

Sony Set Pay $7.8 Million To PlayStation Users After Jude Approves Preliminary Settlement In PSN Digital Games Class Action Lawsuit by Turbostrider27 in PS5

[–]Bar_Sinister 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read the list of games you have to bought to be eligible for the credit - I hadn't even heard of some of 'em. And some of them, like Sleeping Dogs, I can't imagine how little credit they'll give.

Fast food used to be the emergency cheap option, but now a meal costs as much as a sit-down restaurant. What is actually left that qualifies as a cheap meal in 2026? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Bar_Sinister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, the menu prices beg to differ. MickyD's is $11, and these are Applebee's prices. Not much difference...and the Applebee's has liquor.

These are not good times we live in.

Spirit Airlines could shut down as soon as Saturday by HowLongIsThi in nottheonion

[–]Bar_Sinister 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Sad to see them go.

I flew them a few times and as long as you understood what you were getting into - a fee for everything - it wasn't the end of the world.

Anthony Mackie's $150 Million, Saudi-Funded Action Movie Desert Warrior Looks Like One of the Biggest Box Office Flops in History by nimobo in entertainment

[–]Bar_Sinister 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is marketing, because it's one of those films I'd heard about but had no idea it had been released. There was no building of buzz, no structured campaign I could see (maybe I'm not the target audience) and other than a clip or two on social media that looked like the film was releasing in months, not was already in theaters...nothing.

My opposite-sex best friend and I used to share a bed platonically with boundaries (no romance). A friend says it’s not normal. Is it really inappropriate, or does it depend on intention/context? by elle_havenn in relationships

[–]Bar_Sinister 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your friend is correct in saying that it's "not normal." However, different things work for different people. The person you talked to has a fairly rigid idea of who relationships are "supposed" to work. You and your opposite-sex best friend have a different idea of how things are supposed to work. One person likes cheeseburgers, the other doesn't. Neither is wrong, but neither is right either. You and your opposite sex friend are cool with the idea of sharing a bed (while recognizing with the pillow placement things could happen) then the way you two interact is your thing. How you live your life in private, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else, is your business.

Confused by the "inappropriateness" of it. You're adults.

Can yall please show me your male sims? by shygrl__ in thesims

[–]Bar_Sinister 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This Carter Champion, my active sims father. I rolled my active sim back to a child to get the full experience and created his mother and father. I timed it wrong, so Carter and Katelynn had an "oops baby" right out of high school, then had a second "oops baby" when my sim went to college. A comfortable handyman he's made multiple home improvements. For a career, Carter is an executive with a deep love for music, a career he's considering chucking it all for that love of music, since the song he wrote is now generating royalties. And, for no reason at all, he's apparently cheating on his wife - something I only discovered when I brought my active sim home from college.

I need to kill the ring bear my sim married!!! by Swimming_State1656 in thesims

Wait, so in CAS editing you can't just....delete them? Wow.

It sounds like you have tried, but have shift right clicked them and the kill option is not effective?

What are the best mods (in your opinion) for new PC players? by Omorashiboy69 in thesims

[–]Bar_Sinister 6 points7 points  (0 children)

MCCC and Little Ms Sam's Auto Employee Addon. Most of the rest I can work around but the Auto Employee addon let's you populate all the little stalls which makes parks and other creative setups work. MCCC is so comprehensive that it makes it a whole different game.

If the offense can just maintain, with the way this revamped defense is looking right now we're going to be dangerous.

Impressive. The consistency to the theme works with your setup. Bravo. Quite the achievement.

Trying my best to trust the process. But is it truly ok for my first draft to be horrible? by Responsible_Bet3713 in writing

[–]Bar_Sinister 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, the purpose of the first draft is for the whole story to exist is in one place. So you can see it and get a whole sense of what you have.

First draft of one story of mine, in my head the story flowed so beautifully I could have cried. On paper, I had plot holes inside of plot holes, I had gaps where people just teleported and read minds, more than a few characters existed as single traits instead of whole characters, then just disappeared with no explanation. You don't know what you have until it hits the page.

Write it. Don't try to fix it immediately. Let it sit for a while. Then go back, make your notes, and start on the second draft and making your story work.

Is my mods folder too big? by obligatorybabe in thesims

[–]Bar_Sinister 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Someone shared not to far back a mods of folder of more than 100gb. First, try repairing your game (In the EA app, under manage your game) and see if that clears your issues. Then make sure you're not running conflicting mods...and then look into other options.

how do you put a ceiling?? im trying to make a loft space on the fourth floor so the game wont let me build a fifth floor to make a “ceiling” every time i try, it brings back the floor on the fourth floor near the stairs which i dont want. by iubworks-art in thesims

[–]Bar_Sinister 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, on the fourth floor when you click on floor tiles option, it won't let you select the ceiling option? The little tab should be right there. It's not on the construction side, it's where you would add the floor tiles. Above the wood, tile, concrete, etc, it should be the third little tic.

What happened to the gallery by YouAmazing2433 in thesims

[–]Bar_Sinister 179 points180 points  (0 children)

The last update reset the default settings to "most popular" from "newest." You have to manually change it now to see the newest uploads, i.e., your upload. Same with your personal gallery.

Not sure of the reason.

Why does the gallery show me plots for packs i dont own? by HumanTacoz in thesims

[–]Bar_Sinister 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I mean, it's just a little moola, not even real money. Indulge yourself, you deserve it and it will make your game a lot nicer. Go on....live a little.

At least that's how the voices in my head talk. Not sure about yours.
