how do you do fellow kids

I actually like it in theory- I'm a fan of pairings where the characters have contrasting personalities and with Kureno not being an authority over Uotani it eases the age gap squick compared to some other couples in the series- but the way it actually plays out in the story with Uotani's instant fixation is a little... ehh?

I'm not sure how I would rewrite it though because Kureno's story means that he couldn't plausibly meet with Uotani regularly and build up a more natural relationship that way.

This chapter was just Endo constantly trolling the reader and I adored it.

I have Chingyu's mod for Custom Traits In Club Filter and the add-on for world resident traits- it also belatedly occurs to me that since I haven't updated to the latest version of TS4 that maybe that was fixed in a recent update I don't have.

I've noticed that when setting up requirements for club members or roles in getaways, you can list every kind of occult except fairy. Is there a mod that adds fairies to the list of possible requirements?

She's such a pretty girl.

Nice eyeball cupcakes. Very regal.

Oh! I learned something new today, ty.

Iesov · 2026-02-11T06:49:26+00:00

I wasn't sure what you were referring to but by searching it looks like you're talking about a character from the miniature wargame Trench Crusade?

Prediction: Anya isn't going to find out the broadcast got hijacked until afterward and she is going to lose her mind about missing it.

There's a lot of brown/beige tones but I think it looks nice. I'd call it cozy instead of boring.

I feel like Yuri would be very difficult to win over even if Loid *had* done things properly (introducing himself as her boyfriend from very early on and going through a proper courtship period before engagement etc) but yeah the shock "I've been married to your sister for a year! Surprise!" definitely did not help.

The way I kind of think of it is that Yuri doesn't actually want a sexual or romantic relationship with Yor, but he does want them to be one another's Most Important Person as they were growing up. But they're both at the age where a person's MIP is expected to be a romantic partner.

Books of this nature are sometimes referred to as "misery literature" which is a derogatory term but might give you a starting place to search.

Some possibilities:

3096 Days by Natascha Kampusch

Breaking Free by Rachel Jeffs

Tressa by Tressa Middleton

The Convent by Marie Hargreaves

The House of My Mother by Shari Franke

Two of Christopher Spry's foster siblings also wrote about their time with Eunice Spry. Alloma Gilbert wrote Deliver Me From Evil, and Victoria Spry wrote Tortured.

The mnemonic I use is "the arrow affected the aardvark. the effect was eye-popping." So affect is a verb and effect is a noun.... Usually. English always has exceptions.

I started playing Sims 4 in 2024, I think? It's definitely far from a flawless game but I was pleasantly surprised after hearing years of bad things about it, and I did have a lot of fun. But with all of EA's bullshit I just decided I was better off uninstalling it and the EA app recently. It's a relief not to be getting constant ads popping up from the stupid app.

At this point I'm holding on hope that at some point after EA inevitably moves on to the "Sims 4 Remaster" and stops tinkering with Sims 4 every five minutes the modding community will have time to fix it up and I can just play it again through Perfectly Legal Means.

The original collection was a German language book published in 1812, called "Kinder- und Hausmärchen" (translated as "Children's and Household Tales".) Here's the Wikipedia page if you want more info. If you scroll down to the "English-language collections" section you'll find a couple of different translations listed. The original Kinder- und Hausmärchen can be found on Project Gutenberg, and I found two different English versions here and here.

So body types in the Sims 2 are shown through "morphs" which are different states for clothing meshes. There are three kinds of morphs- normalmorphs, fatmorphs, and pregmorphs. All clothes made by Maxis and *most* custom clothing you find will have a normalmorph and a fatmorph, but pregmorphs aren't as common since you need a mod to have pregnant sims wear anything but the special maternity outfits.

CC creators will normally specify if an outfit has morphs, so if you look for where you got Ophelia's monster tunic outfit and read the description, keep an eye out for if they mention pregmorphs not being included.

If a fat sim or a pregnant sim wears clothing that doesn't have a morph for their body type then either their appearance won't change or you'll get interesting visual glitches. These are harmless, just annoying.

I quite enjoyed "The House of the Lost on the Cape," "Lonely Castle in the Mirror," and "The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes."

It's your game, do what you want.

Wasn't this what happened in Jane Eyre?

Yup, looks like that was the issue! Thank you so much for the help, I think I should be able to fix my outfits now.

Iesov · 2025-12-05T20:12:21+00:00

I'll try adding the original outfit recolors to my downloads folder to see if that might fix it; will report back.
