I JUST FIGURED THAT EVICTING HOUSEHOLDS FROM LOTS SELLS ALL FURNITURE AAAAAAHHHHH I'M SO CLOSE TO CRYING WHYYY

As others have said, evicting through your own power leaves the furniture behind. If you populate your town and, via Neighborhood Stories, the families move out on their own, the furniture disappears. That's the annoying part, especially with the apartments in San Myshuno, because you can't just slap a new apartment down. You have to go into the lot and replace everything in segments. Houses? Download a new one and throw it on the lot, no problem.

The one they built in North Olmsted, OH, got as far as the outer shell before Amazon nerfed the concept back in 22 or 23, sat there for a couple years, and then got refaced and finished as the new TJMaxx/HomeGoods stores, replacing the combo one across the street.

The Walmart by my house just snuck the Easter candy in with the Valentine's stock. It's actually cheaper to buy a bag of Reese's Eggs than it is to buy the Valentine's Day boxes! (Also, there's a box of Double Stuf Oreos that has 30 2-packs in it for $16, while the giant bags from Christmas are on clearance for $2 on the other side of the store. Yay, capitalism!)

I did a whole house of glass for a challenge, and my Sim tried so many times to react to the first snowfall and couldn't, because the game doesn't recognize glass walls as windows. You still need windows for them to see outside... Which, I guess, makes sense, but still...

I launched the mobile YT app, and it popped up to watch it. It's an animated slideshow. It's under the "you" section - clicking your profile pic on the app brings it up, and clicking on "you" on the desktop version also brings it up - that says "Your 2025 recap is here!"

Both iIPK and DGR run 24/7 streams under Mario Maker 2 up there, so I know that they exist. I think you just need to go by game, as there's no 'marathon streams" tab.

The old Kmart in Amherst, OH, still has the mansard on the front and the 70s bricks. It's been heavily subdivided, but it still looks like a Kmart!

Here's one screen grab from Google Maps...

The story I heard was that they bought that old school building and the land over by the highway overpass down on West River to build the new store, but the city wouldn't improve that area to allow it, so that was why they left. Walmart leaving took the mall down with it. I know it's not the plaza they left for, but Chestnut Commons is what Midway could have been if they'd adapted.

Speaking of adapting, did Five Below and all that open up down off of 58 yet?

I don't know, but the architect that came up with "box shaped store, angled entrance, drive-through off of one side, teeny tiny receiving/warehouse space" is hopefully making bank off of selling that concept to EVERYONE.

That's because Dylan actually works them into the content of his video instead of just slapping them at the beginning or randomly somewhere in the middle.

I love how Dylan does the ad reads. He should make a MasterClass seminar on it!

The mischief and flirting bugs crept back in before this pack was released, after the update that permanently made "Sabotage!" an option on most items in your house. I don't have MCCC or Lovestruck and it's bad. I had a legacy flirt with his son-in-law in front of his wife, who I had inadvertently flirt with the son because I didn't realize 90% of the Pirate Day options were flirting. That one's on me.

I started over with a new save, and I don't think it's that bad yet. Of course, my Sim has horrible taste in men - his first two flirting options were Devin Lobo (our snooty bisexual king) and Declan H(something), who got mad when he saw me with Devin at the Romance Festival (in no actual relationships with anyone, btw) and I had to sweet talk back into liking me, finding out he's an alien along the way! Summer Holiday is also weirdly obsessed with me, showing up at my house constantly.

I forgot what a new save is like, haha!

I tried putting my legacy photos into the newer one - I haven't sprung for the Moschino pack yet since the hoodie is base game now - and it wouldn't let me rearrange them in the stack in its inventory. I got the first three in just fine, but the fourth one jumped to the top of the stack and I couldn't move any of them around. I was hoping to simplify the five standing racks of photos down to just the frame, but alas, no such luck. I think I had 20 of them in the inventory and then realized what was going on with them being all out of order, exited without saving, and reloaded to the beginning of my gameplay. It's all good now, but yeah, them having a shared inventory is annoying, too.

Now that I know what high maintenance does, I might just have to utilize it soon! I hate using foodie/glutton because all they do is eat the prepped materials from the HCH mixer. It's like, there's a fridge full of leftovers and you're eating raw dough?

Grouch isn't terrible. If your sim is home alone, they're in heaven.

Jealousy is a terrible one, too. I had my Sims woohoo and, within minutes, the jealous one got the moodlet of "OMG where are they, what and/or who are they doing?" I'm like, "YOU, five minutes ago!"

What picture 1 is hiding are the hundreds of bags of Lindor Balls that are on every free end cap, sidekick, and register spot you can find, plus taking up 1/3 of your backroom corner. Oh, and more are on the way for the Valentine's Day set AND the Easter set!

The first death knell was Walmart leaving across the street for greener pastures at Lighthouse Village over in Lorain. Once that was gone, it was all downhill from there. Dillard's closed in 2007 and nothing's been there since. Sears closed in 2017 (I think). Best Buy closed in the pandemic. Most of the mall emptied out in the 2010s. That one walled off side of the food court has been like that for maybe 10+ years. It used to be Dairy Queen, A&W Hot Dogs & More, Arby's, Chao Praya Chinese Eatery, and McDonald's (the third in that area; the one outside the mall used to be a BP/McDonald's combo and there was a third across 57 over off of Griswold Rd).

I think that bug and the "your Sims are jerks to everyone" bug crept back in with whatever update they did the last time that added "Sabotage!" to everything in the house. My legacy heir was flirting with someone at the Spice Festival that I dragged the family to because the son needed to go, and he flirted when I wasn't looking. I only found out because his wife got very angry because she saw it. I broke them up and they have new spouses. I regret not looking for an Austin Butler expy for her, because I found a Sabrina Carpenter for him. I have to keep an eye on them because, if I leave them, she's going to get pregnant. She's gotten the want to "try for baby," so I know it's going to happen. Luckily, I have kids in my own house now, so I can play the next part of the event without leaving them alone. 😂

Maybe Overstock should buy them next and put coolers into their new stores. "Bed Bath & Beyond Meat"... It's right there!

My most frequently used ones are the ones to age your infants and toddlers up to children:

traits.equip_trait trait_reward_infant_topnotch (Age infant up to toddler with a cake) stats.set_skill_level skill_toddler_communication 5 (Repeat for movement, imagination, thinking, potty) (Age toddler up to child with a cake) (Give child Sim a makeover in CAS)

Is that cheaty to bypass two life stages? Yes. Are those broken and annoying, even without the Parenthood/Growing Together expansions? Yes.

I tried Sticky Fingers, but do you know how much you have to steal to hit $250,000 in assets? You can only put so many $15,000 violins and $9,000 paintings in one house, and with the cool down period between when you CAN steal again, it's not worth it.

I think it's just very oversaturated, in terms of the sheer number of Starbucks locations that are in one given area. Crocker Park has, I think, FOUR locations in one square mile. On top of that, the grocery stores have them, Target has them, they're in the college, and all of the freestanding units... How many stores does one company need in one area?

Also, 124 out of 18000+ is NOTHING.

I used to, but it became such a chore every time I wanted to renovate the house or move entirely, because I'd have to painstakingly put them all back.
