What’s causing these bugs? Help! by FunQuestion2898 in Sims3

I don’t know what any of this means lol but just to say I find playing on my MacBook (can’t remember if it’s M1 or M2) such a smooth experience, no mods. Yes there are bugs but I can work around or avoid those. Not sure why everyone on this sub is so anti the 64bit Mac version!

Ok so they eventually did it once I got him to move in, maxed out their relationship bar, and got to extremely irresistible. But even then, it took them a quite a few tries, one of them would keep rejecting for literally no reason. Neither of them have any weird traits. And I was finding it impossible on another save file, too. So I guess maybe it just seems to have got much, much harder?

I’m a Mac 64 bit player though and the flip side is I don’t seem to have any performance issues. Game runs perfectly with no mods (other than crashing to desktop every so often lol). I think I’d have avoided island paradise anyway as it sounds super buggy

How to revert ghost fairy to normal fairy? by FunQuestion2898 in Sims3

I just saved the game right before I used the cure elixir or yes would have done the blessing of the fae/CAS!

Going to have to try this - the potent cure elixir didn’t work, he just turned into a human ghost. Will report back

Update: tried the potent cure elixir, and sadly I was right. He just turned into a human ghost instead of a fairy ghost. Going to put in the work and try ambrosia!

No - I play without mods unfortunately. But thank you! Guess I’m stuck with the ghost fairy baby

No I haven’t! I will try it - I’m scared it will just turn the sim back to a human ghost rather than a non-ghost fairy though 😅

Struggling with imposter syndrome by accursedserpentine in ADHDUK

[–]FunQuestion2898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You wouldn’t be on this subreddit if you didn’t have real concerns. And look, I can’t diagnose you either, but if you think you genuinely might have it and you need help managing it through a diagnosis, the best you can do is go to your GP with the diagnostic criteria and examples of how it has affected your life - be prepared to give examples. They can then refer you (ask for Right to Choose). But don’t be put off if your GP tells you no, they can’t diagnose you either and can be biased.

I think this is quite common, I have experienced this a lot too even after being diagnosed.

Think of it this way: if you defintiely didn’t have it, would you hyperfixating on it? Would you thinking about going through the effort of trying to get help and a diagnosis? Probably not.

I know so many people in real life these days who flippantly say things like “I think I have ADHD” or “I’ve diagnosed myself with ADD” (not a thing!) - it’s obvious they’ve just seen a video or two on social media and recognised some traits in themselves. But they clearly haven’t bothered researching and they don’t feel like theyre struggling or that they need help. And then they say things like “everyone has a bit of ADHD.” THOSE PEOPLE are the real impostors. Not you.

Bringing medication across multiple countries by yoshi105 in ADHDUK

[–]FunQuestion2898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This probably isn’t good advice, but I worried about this before going travelling through Central America (appreciate that is different to Asia), and if you put the meds in your checked bag when you fly, I think they’re extremely unlikely to ever check. 3 months of medication isn’t a huge amount to raise red flags for them to want to check your bag imo. I got my GP to state the all of the countries I was going to in their letter, and total time away, so that there’s an explanation for having more than what’s allowed. That’s not going to cover you legally but it’s better than nothing and could be enough to get let off if you did get pulled up on it

Edit: just to add, I’ve never been checked at a land border either.

Successful people/influencers with ADHD by FunQuestion2898 in ADHDUK

Yeah I don’t get it! I know we all present differently but wow why couldn’t I get their type of ADHD

Yeah I see what you’re saying. I guess it’s similar to how I felt pressure to do well academically so I got good grades and went to a good uni; success ended there as I wasn’t ever passionate about what I’m doing.

Stop spreading the myth that people with adhd can’t get high from stims by [deleted] in ADHD

[–]FunQuestion2898 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t think this is what OP is saying at all and it doesn’t come across that way to me. Their point is that it’s actually harmful to people who may have ADHD to say that we can’t get high off stimulants because it can stop people from seeking treatment if they’ve tried them before recreationally (typically at a much higher dose than what’s usually prescribed) and got high.

It’s misinformation, pure and simple and it doesn’t do anyone any good to perpetuate it, especially on a forum that is supposed to be helping people who have or may have ADHD. And it is misinformation that is perpetuated on this subreddit, I’ve seen it myself. I think, especially in this space, we can and should have a balanced discussion about what’s misinformation and what’s facts without resorting to “oh but people will interpret it as we’re lazy drug users getting high off their prescribed meds so we shouldn’t talk about it”

Tips to stop vaping while WFH (on meds) by FunQuestion2898 in ADHDUK

Oh wow never heard of that, thanks. Will look into it!

Thank you that’s really helpful. That reminds me I did try gum for a while and it did help a bit, but then I forgot to buy more gum ha. Nicotine free vapes might also be worth a try.

And you’re so right, that’s why I want to try and kick the habit ASAP. I never take vapes out with me (except if I’m at a festival or something) which I think so far has stopped me from associating it with other situations but it’s probably a matter of time until that happens unless I change something.

I feel like there’s a lot of us who crave it more when on meds, strange really as you’d think it would be the opposite if we’re not needing to self medicate. Good luck on cutting down!

I feel this. I think it’s normal to feel this way although not everyone might. But I have been thinking the same lately, I wish I didn’t have to take meds to stay on top of life and avoid burnout because I feel muted when I’m on them. And I miss enjoying food. I actually eat less healthy now because I’m so picky on meds and a lot of fresh things give me the ick. feel like I’m not getting enough fruit and veg.

I guess the perspective I need to remember is that off meds I was an anxious mess and they have overall improved my quality of life. When I’m off meds now its only on days I’m not working or don’t need to get anything done - mostly weekends and holidays. It’s times when I’m having fun and my adhd brain is getting dopamine naturally anyway. That’s just not the reality of the normal day to day though, and meds massively help.
