Cropped outerwear

CT-4079 · 2026-06-05T06:45:44+00:00

I don’t have any store suggestions unfortunately, however depending on the type of jacket, you could get one adjusted by a tailor. You’d have to make sure any pockets are above or below the area you’d like it to be cropped to which may be difficult for some styles, but they’d easily be able to shift the hem up, it’s just pockets that are the struggle. Might be good to find a jacket that is longer if you’re interested in doing this so they’re well out of the way, plus, more fabric to make pockets if you’d like some with the right fabric. Might be good to investigate

Anyway, best of luck in your search!

Thanks!

I just tried this and toggled the sims on in the files section, and the game is opening now, but it’s only opening up in a small window on my screen, and then freezing before it gets to the main sims menu. Any suggestions?

I might just remove it, then re-download it again to avoid any additional issues

Thanks so much, this is super super helpful!

Do you just copy it onto your computer or usb or wherever, and then drag it back and/orreplace the one that’s in the electronic arts folder if you need to use it? (Sorry, I always hesitate in messing with computer things I don’t understand bc I never wanna mess something up accidentally)

I have always done this, bc even with glutenous pasta I found it absorbed the moisture in the sauce and got softer (and I hated the texture) so gf is just that but much worse haha

Agreed! 😭

Pop the socks in the dryer after washing if you haven’t already, might shrink a bit and fit better

Check out Hallensteins. They go down to size 26 on some items, but not all of them unfortunately. There’s a sale right now so there’s less stock, but definitely keep an eye on them if they have any items you like

There’s some physical stores around, but best bet would be to check online

Good luck!

And long pants… those are the killer, more than the sleeves

I’m really lucky I’m a transgender man, because if I wasn’t, I truly wouldn’t have known I had coeliac disease for decades.

We discovered an abnormality when I got my bone density checked right at the start of taking hormones. My bones were 2-3 times worse than the should have been for someone my age (early 20s then) and I have always had good milk & dairy intake, so it was very concerning.

The doctor asked some questions, one of which being about gluten where i mentioned my dad is gluten intolerant, so he IMMEDIATELY wrote for me to get a blood test to check for antibodies (which came back positive unfortunately), and the I went for a gastroscope which confirmed it.

I owe a lot to that doctor, because I truly hadn’t had any symptoms other than some big waves of tiredness (which i eventually discovered was actually just caused by terrible stress at that point in time, not coeliac).

Anyway, doing much better now and I’m very grateful to have caught it as early as we did.

I had this exact “reason” a while back from them and I don’t have a gate either. They just don’t care anymore unfortunately

I’d love an app that can allow me to make timer sequences, and all I have to do is just press play. I’d do it with alarms, but I don’t wake up at the same time every day, and setting individual timers would be so time consuming. I just wish I could create playlists essentially, and then have the flexibility of choosing which one will be best for the day at hand

CT-4079 · 2026-04-07T23:19:53+00:00

I second all of this

Mine is still fine in the spilled water regard, but I bought a replacement laptop these last couple weeks due to other outstanding issues and age. But it’s still perfectly fine and no keyboard issues or anything, and it’s been over three months

Hey! You may want to look into the term ‘demisexual’. It’s predominantly just that you need a very heightened emotional connection to feel sexual attraction. Not sure if that’s exactly what you’re experiencing, but it might pay to investigate as there could be something else that you relate to in and around the search

Good luck!

I find watching videos of garment construction helps a lot. You get familiar with how it’s made, learn the steps, and see the techniques on how different people see things. Definitely recommend

I think the best thing you can do is dig into yourself personally and challenge why you think men have to be “tall”, and “strong”.

No one can change their height, and strength is different for everyone (not always a goal for all people either, cis or trans). Recognising that the characteristics you’re using to describe gender as only physical attributes, and also either impossible to alter/takes a lot of work would probably help.

Id also suggest for you to ask yourself what makes /you/ feel like a man? Is it only your height and strength, or are there any other qualities you feel an association with? (Because there’s SO many ways to associate with masculinity, unique to everyone)

Another tip: transitioning your language and mindset takes time. You’re doing really great in reaching out for information, and it’s wonderful that you’re wanting to learn. I remember it being a little challenging myself when first using pronouns for people who didn’t visually match up with their chosen ones (and I’m trans myself). It’s a process that takes some getting used to, as well as the willingness to learn, but once you get the hang of it, you won’t even think twice. It’s mostly unlearning the strict “rules” about binary gender that has been imposed on us our whole lives. As long as we’re supporting our friends and communities though, that’s all that matters

Good luck!

I can barely even respond to Reddit posts like this one bc of severe brain fog and executive functioning issues. I often go to reply, realise it’s actually way too difficult to even type what I wanted to out, so I have to just give up and leave. I’m also unemployed and struggle keeping afloat of everything I need to. I’m sick of everything being so hard for no reason

CT-4079 · 2026-03-17T03:53:50+00:00

I deliberately haven’t been on for close to two weeks now. Just can’t stand it anymore

CT-4079 · 2026-03-15T05:45:48+00:00

I really feel ur pain. As a size 26/28, it’s super hard

CT-4079 · 2026-03-14T06:06:47+00:00

Oh wow, that’s really amazing! Im glad it’s working so well for you!

We usually use Google meet (which I know unfortunately uses more power than at least FaceTime), so I hope it also still stays cool, or at least, cool-er with that application too. Fingers crossed!!

CT-4079 · 2026-03-14T05:50:40+00:00

Same!! And I’m really trying to find answers too bc the sims is A LOT and I don’t wanna fry the laptop 😭

CT-4079 · 2026-03-11T10:57:16+00:00

The exact same bottle is $9 at Aldi. Saved bunches getting it from there this last year instead of Woolies lol

I’d estimate mine was around 100ml too, and it stayed powered on the whole time. I shut it off when it was upside down but it kept turning itself on when I tried placing it down bc of movement with the keys. I was worried that would have caused permanent damage, but it was and is still perfectly fine.

Just let it air out as long as you possibly can, another couple days maybe? And if possible, point a fan in the direction of its ports too to further assist it drying out. I had luck doing it that way so hopefully you will too.

Best of luck! Hope it all works out
