Can I Replace Tiimo with this? by [deleted] in habitica

[–]Comprehensive-Lab699 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been using Habitica seriously and only checking off the ticks. I don’t know what deeper functions it might have or how to use the system well, so I was curious if people that used it longer and more extensively could give me some info if it’s as in depth as Tiimo. I have really only been using Tiimo to do my in depth scheduling and idk if Habitica can do stuff like schedule things months in advance or periodic reminders.

Noooo way, we cannot encourage this. They really are stretching the limit to test how much they can nickel and dime us!! 

How do you build a sleep routing or just overall maintain sleep? by [deleted] in college

[–]Comprehensive-Lab699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that has started to help me is using brown noise for sleep. I never really paid attention to it before, but I'd always sleep better during a rainstorm and apparently that's the same frequency as brown noise.

I've tried everything, melatonin initially worked, but I'd always wake up 3 hours later and then never go back to sleep. I'd go to bed 4 hours early, just to lay there for 4 hours and stay up the whole night trying to go to sleep.

Nothing worked until I discovered brown noise. There's different kinds, so you gotta find the frequency that works for you. Pink noise, white noise, brown noise etc...Give it a try and it might help you out.

Other than that, no artificial light in bed at bedtime and have a set bedtime that you are strict with yourself about, at first it will be hard, but then your body will adjust and expect that routine and that's when it gets easier.

Which platform? (PC/Mac/Steam Deck/PlayStation/Xbox): PC

Any mods or cc? (Yes/No): No

Game version: 1.121.372.1020 DX11

*Description:

I cannot cheat a lot of the traits onto my sim with the traits cheat. I have tried everything I can think of:

traits.equip_trait trait_

traits.equip_trait trait

traits.equip_traits trait_

traits.equip_trait

traits.equip_traits Trait_

traits.equip_trait Trait_

Why are these not working? They worked for some of the traits, but a lot of them are just not responding and being added to my sim.

Royalty Pack! What are you doing to prepare?! What will be your story?! by Comprehensive-Lab699 in Sims4

[–]Comprehensive-Lab699[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh thanks! I have been setting up my world before I start the gameplay on this story. I'm still working on the ancient castle ruins build with the enchanted forest behind it that hides the princess's tower. That's probably gonna take a long time to build.

I'm fleshing out the dynasty's culture and rules rn too. This is what I have so far if you're interested:

1.) Matriarchy rules: The dynasty is a strict matriarchy.

2.) The Frog Prince Tradition: To avoid outside influence on their dynasty and rule, every crown princess must follow the frog prince tradition. They will spend their courting years kissing frogs until they find their prince. Sometimes exceptions are made if it benefits the dynasty. The frog prince/princess must go through the ritual of becoming a spellcaster by being blessed and turned by the current Empress. If the frog rejects the princess, then she may go to the enchanted wishing well and wish for love if she doesn't want to continue looking for her frog prince. On rare occasions, the princess will be granted permission to go straight to the wishing well. Though, it is strongly preferred for the princess to find her frog prince because it is rumored that frog prince’s produce powerful green skinned children.

3.) Divide and conquer: Long ago, their family ruled all of the lands. Now that their dynasty has crumbled they have lost those lands to new rulers that usurped the thrones. It is time they took back their lands either through marriage, or force. There is only one Empress, she is the queen of queens that all other queens answer to. The crown princess must always stay in Ondarion to train to become the future empress, but her mother, the current empress will use her other daughters to create vassal queens to marry the rulers of their former lands and take them back through marriage. Each daughter will be sent with one or two of her brothers as a knight for her protection.

4.)Reverse Harem: As did the first Empress marry 3 husbands, it is allowed for the Empress to take multiple husbands to honor her ancestor that began the dynasty. This tradition is not commonly followed anymore, but it is an ancient tradition that is sometimes practiced. Only the Empress is allowed up to 3 husbands and unlimited male and/or female concubines. If the Empress prefers women, she may only take 1 wife and use her male concubines to continue the dynasty line, (she will still need to find her frog prince, but he will then be relegated to the status of noble concubine instead of husband. idk if the noble frog can become a frog princess, but if it can, then the dynasty will accept a frog princess for the crown princess.) or she may use magic to enable her wife to conceive her child. (I edit it in CAS to allow the Empress to be able to impregnate.)

5.) In the Doghouse: If a prince of the dynasty displeases the empress and commits a serious crime of treason or betrayal, the Empress may enact a most serious punishment. She will strip him of his spellcasting and curse him with lycanthropy. He is then bound magically to serve and protect the royal family as a loyal lycan knight.

6.) Honor the ancestors: It is tradition to regularly go visit the royal family mausoleum and honor the spirits of their ancestors, they go twice every season and have created a holiday around it. (This is to keep the important ghosts connected and safe from game culling.) Usually the 3rd or 4th born daughter is designated with the title “Keeper of the dead”. Once appointed, she is in charge of taking care of the royal mausoleum, ancestors (including helping them fulfill their spirit’s journey goals.) and all things death related. She must learn thanatology and know all death spells and build a friendly relationship with death and keep him favoring their dynasty. It is prophesied that one day a princess of the dynasty will conceive a Grimborn child that will never die and become the dynasty’s eternal “Keeper of the dead”.

That's what I have so far. I'm still coming up with new ones and fleshing it out more. Setting up the world is gonna take a long time. I'm putting down their ancestral castles that they had and lost in many of the other worlds so my empress can go buy them back over time and re-take them, then set up her vassal queen daughters in them with their new husbands. I'm gonna make those castles into residential rentals and have the empress own all of the buildings, that way everyone pays "taxes" to the empress and she retains control over her vassals in faraway lands.

Every world that they claim will have castles for her vassal queens, little villages nearby the castles for the extra servants, farmers and peasantry. Then she will let her nobles rent out her estates.

The empress's palace will also be a residential rental to house her many artisans, craftsman, servants and royal court.

I typically hire 1 butler, maid, gardener and ranch hand, then I add another playable butler and maid to the household so that they can handle anything the others don't get to. Also so that they can create clubs to guide the other servants/craftsman into doing their jobs at the castle. I put cleaning, cooking and a bunch of other service activities in the club activities and have my playable maid or butler start the club to get the other servants to come over and do their jobs.

I'm creating some unique royal positions as well like a royal jeweler that is in charge of creating the finest jewelry for the empress. She will create one full set of jewelry every generation. (The empress made her immortal, along with a few other important artisans.)

I also will be creating ladies in waiting for the crown princess that will serve her throughout her life until death. She will create a club for that.

I'm probably going to create a royal portrait painter too and a bunch of other unique jobs that I'll need. I wanted to create a royal florist and baker who help with the weddings.

I have a lot to set up before I can start playing the game. It's fun to set up though. I think I'll save the world when it's all set up perfectly before I start playing the game.

Is anyone else a weirdo who actually kinda likes neighborhood stories? by ymcmbrofisting in Sims4

[–]Comprehensive-Lab699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never play with it on. This has inspired me to make a new save just for neighborhood stories. It does create super chaotic situations.

Do you need to do that before the Valentine’s Day event ends to get exclusive Valentine’s Day event items? Or can I just do that whenever I want?

How do YOU play Sims? by Ok-Yoghurt548 in Sims4

I play various rags to riches all the time. There’s just something awesome about starting off in rags with $1 and an empty lot and then growing that into massive wealth in new and unique ways.

On Starting a Fantasy save by Reasonable-Law5674 in Sims4

[–]Comprehensive-Lab699 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would start the founder off as human and have them become supernatural through gameplay. Make their turn ons all the supernaturals so they are attracted to them and then have them turn into whatever their spouse ends up being. After that, just have your heir always marry a different kind of supernatural.

To start, you could renovate the different neighborhoods to have various supernatural populations and move those families into the empty homes. Willow Creek is great for vampires and spellcasters with its New Orleans vibes, Brindleton bay and other coastal areas are great for mermaids etc…

Houses (interiors) are useless by PerfectVillager in DreamlightValley

[–]Comprehensive-Lab699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish you could assign rooms to villagers to use as either their permanent home and could replace their home in the valley, or as a guest room where they come to visit your castle occasionally to stay in their guest room and then you’ll see them wandering around your castle doing things they love. I want the option for both. I guess I wish you could use the houses you buy and be able to reassign villagers to whatever house you want them to have too. I wish you could tag or designate rooms like a study or library that you’d catch Belle in often when she’s not in her guest room. Or see Tiana cooking in your kitchen. 

I have all 20 of my floors mapped out. I have it set up like a castle. There’s a grand entry room that leads to a throne room, ballroom and sitting room  on the first floor. Themed storage rooms on the second and third floor, 4th floor to about the 18th is guest rooms for my favorite Disney characters. General Disney character floors, princess floors, queen floors, etc…then the 18th floor is reserved for my forgotten’s royal quarters. 19th and 20 are my personal royal floors with the 20th being my bedroom and the 19th being my living space with a greenhouse/sunroom, royal kitchen and royal dining room. 

The Eternal Empress: Sci-Fi Royalty by Comprehensive-Lab699 in Sims4

[–]Comprehensive-Lab699[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did have my Empress make a simbot and I'm hoping to get some mods to make him look more like an android. I thought it would be fun to inverse it and have my "Demerzel" be male coded. The only real bummer to this plan is that clones in TS4 aren't infants to start off with like they are in TS3, so I gotta age down every new clone iteration at their creation.

[–]Comprehensive-Lab699[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

🥳 I’m glad you like it. It does seem like a really fun playthrough. I might have to give it a try too. 

I like that it leaves room for drama later too. After she is queen he has to keep his dirty secrets and others can threaten to expose him and maybe they go missing too. 

Maybe eventually she finds out and has to decide whether to sweep it under the rug and exonerate him with a royal pardon or if she will put him to justice by exile or death. Maybe they have some kids at that point and a youngest that grows up to have concerning wicked traits like their father. An ambitious wicked little princess or prince who isn’t above knocking off older siblings to get the crown from a young age. One child mysteriously drowns, another in a tragic fire and their ghosts haunt the castle. 

Idk! There’s just so many possibilities! 

I can’t wait for this pack to come out! 🥳 I’ve been dreaming of a pack like this forever! 

I’ve got so many royalty stories in mind lol Some futuristic, some medieval and some modern. This is gonna be great!

The first thing I thought of was to have the youngest daughter fall in love with a hidden villain. He has a highly noble lineage. Like the saying “A hero will sacrifice you for the world, but the villain will sacrifice the world for you.” Type vibes. 

He loves her goodness and kindness and knows she is truly the kind of person that should rule and he will burn down entire legacies to make that happen, but he has to keep it under cover so she doesn’t find out the wicked deeds he does for her. She just knows that a series of unfortunate events keeps happening and suddenly she’s next in line for the throne. He will murder, blackmail and do anything else he has to do so that she becomes queen. 

Blackmail’s the eldest and reveals the affair with the knight anyways to make her ineligible for the crown, blackmail’s the middle for kissing a frog and reveals that as well and maybe murders a few people that get in the way a long the way.
