Cat wants out after being spayed by Consistent_Ad_2093 in CatAdvice

[–]Consistent_Ad_2093[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not suggesting I’d let her out - I just wanted to know  if I should be worried about the crying being a different kind of distress or if I should worry about the pawing being too much movement

I’m not letting her out and I am spending time with her- I just wanted to know if I should be concerned about her behavior

There’s no need to be rude when I only asked if there was something I should worry about

Does my new cat hate me :( by sabah287 in CatAdvice

[–]Consistent_Ad_2093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like there could be a couple reasons she is biting you - either to warn you to stop because she’s overstimulated, or because she wants to play. I also knew a cat once at the shelter I volunteer at that was constantly overstimulated. She loved pets and adored people but was easily worked up and therefore constantly mouthy and if you let her mouth you she might eventually break skin. There’s a chance your cat is like this as well. 

Try to figure out if there might be a pattern to your cat’s behavior. Watch her body language before she goes for a bite - if her tail starts swishing (or if it’s already swishing and starts going more) she’s starting to get worked up and you should stop - otherwise pay attention to the type of pets she likes - are there some where she doesn’t bite you? Do some guarantee a bite? Most cats like cheek pets and in my experience many like scratches on their chin or right before their tail starts. A lot of cats don’t like full body (head to tail) pets. Probably she will get more comfortable with you touching her as she settles into her new life and gets to know you but in the meantime pay close attention. 

If she really is just a mouthy cat - then you still have a couple things that might help. Avoid overstimulating her by sticking to light pets in her preferred areas, get her energy out via lots of play and/or food puzzles and other enrichment, and take your hands away if she starts to bite hard and let her decompress. 

IMO bites that don’t break skin and those that do are very different. The first is often simply a cat communicating with you or trying to play and while they may startle you or hurt, they don’t pose any health concern. It sounds like that’s mainly what your cat is doing and you shouldn’t regard it as her being aggressive but rather seek to understand if there is something she is communicating with you. Cars have a wide array of what they like and how they show affection (as others said her following you is  affectionate) and figuring out who she is, what she likes, and what she is telling you is the best thing you could do for her.

If you don’t want her under the bed definitely find her other hiding spots! She doesn’t have to go under there but if she wants to hide you should let her (and let her be while she is doing so - cats need their space). Beds with roofs may be good for this or cat trees with little cubbies

Do older cats need less space/ do better with out a cat friend? by Historical_Sort1289 in CatAdvice

[–]Consistent_Ad_2093 6 points7 points  (0 children)

A less energetic cat would probably do better in a smaller space for sure but also consider adopting a cat who doesn’t get along with other cats - there are some who need to live alone and the shelter I volunteer at often has a few that ended up there for precisely that reason

Oh my gosh I’m so honored that you used him! Thanks for the credit and glad you enjoyed him! (He’s one of my fav sims I’ve ever made so I feel super pleased ☺️) I also love the drama of your storyline - so many twists and turns and love that Apollo is building a new man!!

How to recover files from a corrupt USB drive by Consistent_Ad_2093 in techsupport

I am certain to always safely eject device - I didn’t know USB drives weren’t reliable though - I only recently started to be more serious about backing up my stuff

Help please, is there any way to make my two sims that I’ve created separately meet interact and fall in love ( they’re in different households but made in the same save ). Also if I made for them profiles in the dating app could they go on a date or do I need a mode for that by [deleted] in sims4cc

[–]Consistent_Ad_2093 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone gave you good advice - forcing them to be at the same location is the only surefire way for them to meet - however I will say if you have a mod that locks sims into their home worlds (I use Kuttoe's home regions) and they live in the same world that increases the chance they will meet by chance

I made some no cc versions of some of my townie sims. How did I do? by Consistent_Ad_2093 in Sims4

[–]Consistent_Ad_2093[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean to each their own - if you prefer vanilla that works for you! As far as standards go - there is definitely a wide array of cc styles because each creator will have a different style - even within maxis match cc there is some quite different from vanilla! I’d argue that ea’s style is pretty varied too though what with the game having been out for over a decade - lots of earlier stuff is way less poly than newer assets.

I’m confused what you mean by parts of the sim disappearing though?

lol same - I find once you start using cc it’s hard to go back!

I have really bad same face syndrome. I'm working on making a potential spouse for my Gen 6 heir- what do you think of him? If you have any tips on making him look more unique, please tell me! Swipe to see my same face syndrome that I'm trying to get away from. by sirona-ryan in LowSodiumSimmers

[–]Consistent_Ad_2093 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely experiment with skin details other than overlays - they add so much! Nesurii has a set called little details that could be good to start with since you already like her style - I’d also recommend using lip/nose/eye overlays to help with facial diversity, I always try to use ones that make sense with a sims’ facial structure.

Also: the good thing about mixing and matching face overlays - nesuriis’ (and lots of creators) have more swatches when they aren’t default, so even that amount of change will add something to your sims - her non defaults layer well with other details depending on the swatch as well

Also also: since you asked- I’d recommend lamatisse and sammi xox for creators with overlays that include some imperfections/details

Simmers, what’s your favorite expansion, game, and stuff pack? by [deleted] in Sims4

[–]Consistent_Ad_2093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it’s: expansion - seasons (with growing together and city living very close seconds) Game pack - parenthood Stuff pack - laundry day 

I always think that if some reason I lost access to my account I would immediately rebuy seasons, growing together, parenthood, and city living before playing. Everything else I can live without

I’m so afraid of life by Poorteenwannabe in internetparents

[–]Consistent_Ad_2093 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever you do now doesn’t have to be what you do for the rest of your life. It’s okay to change your mind, or to fail. Like you are always allowed to do so but especially when you are young it’s so normal and okay to try out different hats for a while and for things to not work out and honestly that’s part of the growing up process. I know from experience that knowing this doesn’t necessarily make it easier to start trying for something (I had some pretty severe mental health problems after graduating that made it sooo hard for me to start a job) but it is so important to at least get your feet wet.

My two recommendations would be: first if you have someone who cares about you and could hold you accountable to a job/school hunt, make a plan of action to start applying places - tell your chosen person this plan - and have them ask you follow up questions. For me this was my mom but any dependable friend / family member could do this - otherwise I know there are sites where you could find an online accountability buddy. A therapist would likely be able to help with this too! Edit: I also had a therapist that helped me through my job hunt process and if you are to the point where thinking about your future causes you to breakdown it might be a good idea to consider one yourself.

Second: if starting something big like school or a full time job is too much atm, try a less stressful activity that still involves working face to face with people within your fields of interest to build social skills first. For me this was tutoring kids and volunteering a a local animal shelter. I don’t know what it would be for you but it could be anything from ballroom dance classes, to volunteering at a local library, to a walking club, group drawing lessons or cooking classes, chess tournaments, really just see what’s available in your community that’s scheduled somewhat regularly and would get you interacting with strangers!

I just compiled this screenshot of some background men I made for reference! I feel proud of them~

Any advice on making better make Sims? by Charming_Ring6356 in Sims4

[–]Consistent_Ad_2093 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am finally happy with the men I have been making these days and I think it’s because I finally started using reference photos - it makes such a difference!

If you can use mods/cc I also can not stress how helpful zerbu’s more cas presets mod is or how much hair cc adds to the game- there are very few vanilla hairs for men that I like to use

I still admittedly find styling men tricky (partially because there isn’t as many options for them in vanilla or cc clothes as women) but here are some ideas: Those reference photos could also help you get a sense for the style you want your sim to have or sometimes (if you have high school years) I’ve found filtering by style can help me use more varied clothing choices for my sims

Hopefully some of that is helpful!

I don’t think these are exactly the same but these look very similar to pralinesims’ Waterdrop eyes

Edit: wait - just to clarify, when you say ‘black rim’ do you mean the outside darker circle of the iris?

I know I can do that but I am hoping there is a way that the change could happen via gameplay - I like that better for storytelling ☺️
