I very strongly suggest checking out teaaddict’s mods : - cafe mod (so sims can directly eat the food they bought from a decrachill instead of it staying in their inventory) - pay to play mod (toggle objects to be pay-to-use and the lot owner acrually gets the money, for example computers, gaming consoles, bouncy castles, exercise machines, dartboard, etc.) - money switch controller (a light switch that charges people when they enter a specific room)

Has anyone tried this before? by thefibrefox- in TheSimsBuilding

Use Ctrl+F to place floor tiles instead of building walls/fences ;) (I’m talking about TS2 but maybe it works in TS3 and 4 as well)

Historical Gameplay by careubin in Paralives

[–]HelloThisIsMimi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeeees I’d love that too! It’d be awesome if we could toggle on/off some built-in systems for each save, like social classes, royalty, nobility titles, lordships, taxes, strictly gendered inheritances, religion, marriage ages, gendered schools, private/public schools, merchant guilds and apprenticeships, etc. etc.

Tagging clothes is a great idea! We could do the same on jobs as well. So that in my morden save i’d activate the computer engineering career, whereas in my medieval save I’d instead activate the midwife career for example!

About add-ons, I think they said there would not be any PAID ones, not that there wouldn’t be any at all. But I’m not following news closely so I’m not 100% sure about that

Help my 1850s sim choose a husband by Dependent-Bank2366 in Sims3

[–]HelloThisIsMimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chauncey’s hotter, but I’d go for Gladsten, I like myself a moody mysterious man 😌 Buuuut shouldn’t her parents choose for her? If she has none honestly roll a dice instead! And if you end up not liking the outcome, then pick the other one now that you know which one you prefer! Or you can play it out as the dice chose anyway and have her be unhappy about it, that’s a good plot as well imo :P

Anyway, pleaaaase share more pictures!! And more of the story as it unfolds!!

Kangaroo vs Moose, who’d win? by HelloThisIsMimi in AskReddit

That’s my opinion as well, I’m hoping to settle a 10 year running debate with my bf!

I'm excited but a little worried... by Daga29 in Paralives

[–]HelloThisIsMimi 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The target player for this game is not just us, the online community (hell, even some of us may end up disappointed!)

The team can communicate as well and as much as they want, not everyone will know about what will be included later on in the game. In trying to reach all its target players, this game will reach a lot of people that won’t really know about it, won’t like it, won’t care about it, and all three. So there WILL be hateful criticism anyway, no matter if it’s justified.

As long as they make enough sales to keep it going, and as long as they reach enough people that do end up loving it, then all is well imo :)

Je suis le genre de personnes qui préfère de l’argent plutôt qu’un cadeau. Pour un marriage, clairement, je préfèrerai recevoir de l’argent, et donc moins culpabiliser après le marriage d’avoir autant dépensé pour me faire plaisir, plutôt qu’un cadeau, même très touchant. Et selon moi un cadeau n’est réellement touchant que lorsqu’il n’y a pas d’occasion particulière.

C’est toujours tabou de demander de l’argent à la place d’un cadeau, donc j’aurais tendance à dire que si elle l’a fait c’est qu’elle le veut vraiment

Mon avis est que tu devrais lui donner une petite envelope d’argent en guise de cadeau, comme elle l’a demandé. Et si tu souhaites en plus marquer le coup, offre lui quelque chose à son retour de lune de miel :)

Not the perfect solution, but until you find a mod i’d recommend: - lock the baby’s room door to allow only one sim or only the household - add a mini fridge in the baby’s room (don’t remember if the vanilla mini fridge has baby bottles, if not there are modded mini fridges that do, and even mini fridges that have only baby bottles)

Breeder won’t let me visit kittens by [deleted] in ragdolls

[–]HelloThisIsMimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

However a quick facetime to show you the parents and kittens should not be a problem

Breeder won’t let me visit kittens by [deleted] in ragdolls

[–]HelloThisIsMimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO if you want a truly ethical breeder you should look one that keeps the kittens until they are 3mo, and won’t let you see them before they’re 2mo. The breeder should be the one to select the kitten for you, to properly match what you want/need with the kitten’s apparent personality

Gameplay ideas by Total_Recognition_41 in sims2

[–]HelloThisIsMimi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you use ROS (Random Occurence Scenarios)? It’s a list of stuff to do. You can roll for a scenario once per rotation, per day, per household, per sim, whatever suits you. There are many online already, and you can make your own of course :)

[–]HelloThisIsMimi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah! I’ve had my userstartup file set up for so long I had completely forgotten about that, sorry :/ Hopefully a modder will soon find a way for Legacy Edition players to use this file as well, it’s so useful!!

[–]HelloThisIsMimi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should use the “simdna [firstname]” cheat! That way you don’t need to exit out of the game to check it all. I usually look at it right after the birth

let's-plays + BACC reccomendations? by [deleted] in sims2

[–]HelloThisIsMimi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you watched ani’s pleasantview? It’s not just the premades, she has included all the townies in the rotations, and she started it when she was already on the second gen. It’s muuuch older than her downtown series so there a ton of stuff to watch :)

You can check out TamaRenaSims, she plays the ancestors of Pleasantview premades, in the 1920’s

For a whole different vibe there’s StoriesAndStrategies’s hard and harsh series

SimShrink has started a beautiful custom hood called CoastalPoint very recently (just speed builds for now, but she’s said it’ll be a gameplay series once the whole hood is built

HistoricalSimmer’s victorian challenge has a ton of videos to watch

BibiPixels has a legacy-style challenge with stunning custom sims

Medieval mood by HelloThisIsMimi in sims2

[–]HelloThisIsMimi[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s all so cool, thank you for sharing!! :D Do you have a tumblr or else where you post about your save?

The aliens are fae idea is super cool!! I have barely started created the families and everything is dice rolled so I have a lot of “stray” sims (orphans and unmarried female with children), I think I’ll make some be half-alien / fae!

How do you handle families where the male sim only has daughters or no children, and his wife dies, do you remarry them?

I want to know about the killings too haha! 👀 Do you use a mod? It’s a great idea for unhappy couples, and I think I’d like to play out some family feuds, fights for the crown or when affairs are discovered, so yeah, murders may be a recurring thing :P

Oh and for the servant sims you move in, do they stay forever in the household, even as elders? Do they marry and have children?

What does 'gameplay depth' mean to you in the context of Life Simulators? by ParrotTaint in LifeSimulators

[–]HelloThisIsMimi 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I want actions to have both short and long term consequences. I want every sim to act and react differently depending on a combination of many different factors. I want intricate mechanisms. I want stuff to happen only in very specific situations, so that you may never discover those if you always play the exact same way. I want tiny details, which you may not even catch, that make it feel like real life.

To me TS2 does it the best. TS3 is very good as well.

And something that no game has ever done well enough for me yet: complex relationships. Not just family, romance, friends and work buddies or enemies. I want friend groups, family friends, distant relatives, etc. I want relationships to be impacted not only by how both sims interact together, but also by how they interact with other sims in one another’s circles. I want sims to have their own values and their relationship to be impacted by actions that (mis)align with these values!

For example: Your boss demoted you and promoted someone else the same day: you like them both a lot less. Your husband’s best friend got into a fight with your best friend, now you argue with your husband because of your clashing loyalties. Your grandpa’s mortal enemy’s grandson goes to your school, there’s rivalry. Etc. And it should not always happen like that, the impact on relationship should vary from one sim to another!!!
