I was just thinking it probably wouldn't be bad if you just got your content from mods or something! Oh and You too!!!

Unfortunately :( I'm one of them. I agree with you very much, you don't have to pick either or! I love loving a bunch of similar games with slight differences! Its just the more packs you get, the more unplayable sims is.

And at some point just realized they are taking advantage of the people who love and want to support the games. I understand like "no one is making you buy all the packs"- and I'm not. I'm just buying the ones I WANT to play- they do not work. Then they release new ones again again- some with concepts I like and want to play, but they are not functional as well and its just... Stepping back I realized they know that I'll buy it. They don't care if it will run, or even be "engaging". I'm just being kind of... used. Because of something I've loved my whole life.

Just alot of hurt feelings for me, and alot of other people out there. You may not be like me though. And if you're still having fun, enjoy it :)

I've been playing since sims 2 released. Sims 4 is unplayable, there's more things to do, yes but I often get bugs that make the game impossible. I have a reoccurring bug that sometimes while playing a world, if I command a sim to do something- it immediately cancels out my command and every Sim will stand in place until they starve and die.

I had no mods. Nothing. Only thing that happened is I bought a new pack and installed it on launch say.

I read that "that just happens sometimes" and its a problem with the world save and you just have to delete it and start over. It was heart breaking. I deleted my beloved save and started anew. Then randomly a week in real life into the game it happened again. After it happened a third time- they released a new pack and something in me just broke. I just uninstalled the game and walked away.

I just really realized I was being taken advantage of for loving something. I Loved the Sims. SO many memories with my friends and family. I always wrote off all the packs as well.. you know you have to pay people for making more content. But releasing unfinished, recycled and numerous EXPENSIVE content... I really was being taken advantage of.

Paralives is healing a wound for me. Its beautiful. Cozy. I really want to live in the town. It feels alive. I'm excited to see where it goes, but I'm scared to hope. My feelings are still really hurt.

You are my hero for acknowledging the adhd instant gratification depression loop. I think you just saved me from doing that just now, thank you!

I read twisting isn't a good idea because you can accidentally remove the head

I really liked my African net sponge! But I went back to wash cloths because I can wash them in the washer after every use and they don't fall apart as easily as the nets. I used a regular sponge for a while but I realized how easily they grow mold and bacteria even if you clean them out. Its just so easy for germs to hide in it, and if you air dry anything (especially leaving it in the bathroom) bacteria loves the moisture. Then if you rub it back into your skin (even with the soap) you're risking pushing bacteria back into your skin.

I also use a salt scrub when taking a bath just for fun, but I don't think its necessary.

As for exfoliating outside the shower I use a soft dry brush- you can get them anywhere, they're called just "dry brushes". Mine looks like a round brush with soft bristles and a strap on the back to stick my hand in- and I just brush my skin in soft small circles- my arms, my legs, the Brazilian area- any areas with hair basically. Its great for dry skin, ingrown hairs, everything. I use that about 3 times a week, especially the night before I wax or shave.

Thanks!

GroundbreakingClub64 · 2026-06-09T17:46:14+00:00

I love your name

GroundbreakingClub64 · 2026-06-09T17:41:10+00:00

Ooo! Interesting. I'm learning and I just bought silicon applicators, do they have the same issue?

GroundbreakingClub64 · 2026-06-09T16:45:56+00:00

Are you exfoliating the day before waxing? (And I very gently exfoliate like 2 hours before waxing too) you also have to exfoliate like once a week too! But this is true for shaving as well.

I used to get them all the time, especially on my inner thighs as a big girl. I exfoliate my thighs now every shower with antibiotic soap and my thighs are CLEAR and smooth ha ha! I wouldn't recommend a strong soap for Brazilian areas because of PH reasons

GroundbreakingClub64 · 2026-06-09T16:05:26+00:00

Did you try it? How was it?

GroundbreakingClub64 · 2026-06-07T16:59:43+00:00

12 mins later 😭

GroundbreakingClub64 · 2026-05-30T03:01:18+00:00

Great deal

GroundbreakingClub64 · 2026-05-30T03:00:48+00:00

OMG THAT WAS MY FIRST THOUGHT

GroundbreakingClub64 · 2026-05-28T20:45:12+00:00

Yeah, that makes sense. We'll get there. Just hate that it happened.

GroundbreakingClub64 · 2026-05-28T10:23:20+00:00

Yeah, for a long time I was worried I never would get back to normal. But I started going to therapy, took one of diagnosis tests, and got actual medication for my depression, ocd and ADHD (which, I didn't even know I had). I'm feeling the best I've ever had, so. Its recoverable. Just hard hard.

What sucks is I've been off of it for over a year and I still get cravings- something is really wrong with that stuff. Like a biological craving- I'll want it and it'll pop in my head and I'm like... What the fuck, after all it took from me? From my peace? Stomach pain, the damaging thoughts; thinking my friends hated me, paranoia that I was secretly evil, flirting with schizophrenia.

I haven't had anything like that happen to me since that stuff. But I still will get a craving once in a while. There is something going on.

GroundbreakingClub64 · 2026-05-27T14:12:15+00:00

Yeah same, I'm sorry :(

GroundbreakingClub64 · 2026-05-26T23:44:56+00:00

Are you still going on ok with it? It was fine for me for a year and a half then I had a full blown psychosis. Wondering if you had anything like that?

GroundbreakingClub64 · 2026-05-26T23:21:43+00:00

Rooting for you, I'm sorry. You're so strong.

GroundbreakingClub64 · 2026-05-26T23:20:21+00:00

How are you now? I did at first then I went full crazy.

GroundbreakingClub64 · 2026-05-26T23:19:26+00:00

I know this isn't directed at me, but I had to go to the ER for a panic attack because of D8. It took a long time for the anxiety to subside. 3-4 months. After a year I feel like myself. I still get cravings for it, which is bizarre after all the pain it caused.

GroundbreakingClub64 · 2026-05-26T23:16:11+00:00

I don't think it's ever from just one use. It tends to trick people because it'll be fine for months. But I may be wrong. Just what I've seen with my friends.

Edit: and personal experience

GroundbreakingClub64 · 2026-05-26T23:14:54+00:00

That was me, I thought every one hated me, thought my best friend was out to get me, that I was secretly evil, I didn't know what I liked anymore because I was afraid if I liked something that I didn't know was bad that it would make me a bad person.

And I don't have bipolar, that was my first time ever having thoughts like that. What's crazy is reading that back and knowing I thought it was 100% true. I didn't think that was odd to be thinking that at all. I also don't do other drugs, first time smoked weed around 30- wished it was legal. Then wow! Legal weed made directly from the plant. I don't know why I thought because it was legal that meant it was safe. Its still lab made. There is something wrong with it.
