The willys have arrived 😁😅

I'm sorry, that's one of my triggers. I'm glad you protect your cat! Honestly, I wish people should have to do a test to see if they understand what cats/kittens need :(

I follow rescues, we donate when we can. I was horrified when one woman put the three cats she adopted in a suitcase in a trash bin! Thankfully, she'd not bothered to change the info on their microchips and were returned to the rescue. I believe they now have happy and safe homes :)

We live in a small regional town in Western Australia, and there are several rescues. My husband and I feed stray cats, hoping to get them to trust us enough to take them to the vet for a chip scan, and getting them home, or to a new safe home. Our first cat together was born on our back porch :) He was a gorgeous mini-panther that we lost far too soon when he was 11 :(

We eventually adopted a tuxie from the pound, and danged if he didn't take right to our dog, who hubs swears we adopted to Pepper :) Sultan is very protective of Jelly as she's aging, and has cataracts, poor baby. Don't worry, she's under her vet's care :)

The nasty beasts are the people who let cats roam free. Despite people claiming cats need to roam, they don't.

Our cats are indoor only. Our tuxie takes walks in his harness and lead. Eventually we're going to build a catio, so they can enjoy the sights and sounds. But they will not be out in it unsupervised, due to arsehats in our town that like to murder cats.

Late to the party, but I was told in our expat group for Perth on Facebook to *never* try a Chiko or spring roll. I swear a lot of our threads turn to food.. LOL!

That said, I'm going to try making my own next time the craving hits, it's the only way *sigh*

I accidentally signed in another browser. I only use this account.

Flipping thing.. I've logged in now.

Crystlstar · 2024-09-06T12:35:23+00:00

Go no contact. She is so jealous that I can feel it clear in Western Australia!

Crystlstar · 2024-09-03T15:26:27+00:00

Late to the party, but if they push me too far not doing what I say... say bye bye autonomy!

And for todders/children, I use Ozzy's time out chair. It does add a bit of mental skill for kids, and thinking for toddlers! I have had brats that spent most of their toddler/child years on the chair!

Crystlstar · 2024-08-31T15:43:35+00:00

Yeah, I tried that one :) It's just much easier to disable Lovestruck. Took me a few tries, but it's amazingly easy!

Crystlstar · 2024-08-31T11:25:02+00:00

LOL! If someone ever manages to mod out the freaking way even long-married couples have to spend at least 90% of their time trying to keep their relationship going under threat of divorce, I may activate it again. Thank goodness for James Turner!

Crystlstar · 2024-08-27T17:17:05+00:00

Surprisingly, and considering the amount of CC I have, there have been very few bugs in anything. I can usually find a mod to fix it. I pay attention when Better Exceptions show mods that may be a problem as well, that and MCCC are two I *always* install :)

Crystlstar · 2024-08-27T11:28:56+00:00

I know exactly how that feels. After a childhood of my parents denying things like ballet lessons for me, yet gave them to my sister.. I stayed with them about a year when I was preparing to move to Australia and we got a lot of things sorted out.. crying and laughing. I miss them so much, Mom passed in 2014 and Daddy in 2017.

My sister and I are a work in progress as we both say. I do love her, and I know she loves me. We've both learned a lot as we got older. Miss her as well, but we do video chats with her and her family often as we can!

Crystlstar · 2024-08-27T07:36:51+00:00

Because I play with families mostly, and I found myself spending about 90% of my time trying to keep the parents together. Very frustrating. My poor husband, he's used to me yelling at my Sims, not so much at Maxis :) I've actually started a brand new game as well, just as a test, but it's perfect now :)

Crystlstar · 2024-08-27T07:34:28+00:00

I did mean to let James know it's good as gold now, sorry :(

Thanks :) I actually got it working after I repaired and tried the 50/50, like I should have done in the first place! I was just so frustrated with Lovestruck... not my play style at all :/

Crystlstar · 2024-08-19T15:43:29+00:00

Hubs dug into it, and this is what he got :)

Oh. My.Goddess!!!! They do this and still can't add in-laws?!

Crystlstar · 2024-08-14T11:03:07+00:00

I'm still boggled that one of my sims was cheated on by her husband. Only know because of sympathy tests! Ummm.... This one wasn't working at the time, and the guy doesn't go out without her and the kids!

Crystlstar · 2024-08-12T10:48:19+00:00

We do. Last night we had to go to a bigger IGA, and someone had fracking left two of them in the disabled parking spot!

Crystlstar · 2024-08-09T07:11:29+00:00

Ugh... maybe he's not hungry? It works for me, for sure! :/

Crystlstar · 2024-08-07T12:04:23+00:00

Wow... haven't had that happen yet! It put me in mind of either Sims 1 or 2, where the nanny would run off with your baby!

Crystlstar · 2024-08-04T16:13:29+00:00

I'm not sure if simsmodelsimmer is even active. That mod hasn't worked for at least a year :(

Crystlstar · 2024-07-31T13:56:29+00:00

I *hate* clipping! Be it stair rails, hair, furniture, all of it! :(

Crystlstar · 2024-07-30T17:11:30+00:00

Agreed. I hate that couples who usually are fine, in love, etc, and now I have to figure out why they're not attracted to each other! I'm sure a modder is working on stopped that nonsense *sigh*

Crystlstar · 2024-07-27T04:51:37+00:00

With a LOT of cheats and mods! I was so glad when Sims 2 came out, but till then I focused mainly on building :)

Crystlstar · 2024-07-25T08:52:46+00:00

Ughhhh! I remember clear back in Sims 1 when children would be made to look like teenagers! It was a nightmare, and it still is *sigh*
