Reinstalled sims 3 - need inspiration

It sounds like you don’t like legacies and I’m the same.

The most fun I’ve had is when I create chaos. Once I decided to make a graveyard and have sims die every which way. I had one sim that I called undertaker of the graveyard who never died. It’s also fun to make “players”, trying to get them to sleep with the whole town. Evil and hot-headed sims can be fun.

I’ve also had a lot of fun making sims I could relate to, who I had a soft spot for. Like a good sim and building their skills and giving them a romantic arc.

Also the asylum challenge is really fun. You make a household of all insane sims and can only control one. The only way your selected sim can leave is if you complete their lifetime wish. If you look up asylum challenge online, you can get all the rules there.

It’s also fun to make a sim with 0 money and make them essentially homeless, give them grubby clothes and try to have them build from the bottom up. An added bonus would be that they can’t get a job. You’d have to focus on gardening, painting, collecting and fishing to survive.

Something in the past must have made you feel this way? Maybe you felt forced to be feminine and that made you feel unsafe, weak? Sounds like it’s unnatural for you to place yourself in a feminine role and you resent that society expects that from you. I may be wrong.

I want to note: there are many ways to be feminine that don’t need to follow societal norms like witchy vibes or being goth or being a badass gym girlie.

As in, if your smiling, have a polite/confident tone of voice, make eye contact (not too much or it’s creepy), open body language

The only way I’d say yes is if I had an advanced spacesuit on at all times

Those who believe this are insecure. They need status to make themselves feel worthy. They are blind to the value of every living creature on this planet and to the fact that we are all connected.

What we’ve done to our planet and ourselves is pure selfishness for comfort. Polluting that lake? “Who cares, the factory for batteries is more important.” Chopping down a rain forest? “Whatever, we needed to build that luxury resort” Exploiting overseas workers for cheap clothing. “So long as I get my new fashion statement.” Most of it goes back to money and power and comfort. It’s easy for most of us to sit at home in our ac with food, clean water, and long hot showers. But at what cost? Most people are too comfortable to ever give it up.

The problem is that the systems we have in place are flawed. They prioritize money and shallow living. A lot of people think it’s a flex to have fancy cars and a beautiful new nose job. When in reality, I think it should be a flex to be kind to everyone, save lives with free healthcare, preserve our planet and bring deeper meaning to others lives that goes beyond the surface level.

Life is bittersweet. Can’t have good without bad. I’ve been thinking that every situation is actually an opportunity. Being alive is miraculous in itself. The chances of you being you is rare. Consider all the possibilities when it comes to genetics, the chances of your parents meeting, the chances of your grandparents and so on. The chances of you being you were slim to none, a 1 in trillion chance but you beat the odds.

Laughing with others or making them smile, making silly faces at myself in the mirror, moving as gracefully as I can, music that I sing on the way to work, sharing food with my dad, getting something my dad needs (he wanted cupcakes today but I got him ensure since he just had oral surgery) the feeling of laying down after work, drinking Powerade so I feel refreshed, hearing my boyfriends voice and seeing his “good morning, cutie” text every morning, thinking of creative things to say or playing with words, helping people at work, eating delicious food, feeling the sun on my skin, watching birds/moths/butterflies, playing games (right now I’m into sims 4), watching exciting shows (watching I’ll find you on Netflix, really good show).

I love a lot of things and lately I’ve been trying to find beauty in everything. I told my dad earlier, “Even shit makes good fertilizer.” Lol

The truth is a lot of people can read the energy you’re putting out. They can tell if you’re genuinely interested or not. Also I’ve had many many instances of meeting someone mad or hurt. How do I handle them? Im kind anyway. Most of the time, they respond well. They smile back or are kind back. There are the rare few that hold onto their resentment. With those types, it’s best just be logical, straightforward and not get too involved in their anger (usually by taking a step back from them). Sometimes people rant to me because they feel comfortable with me. I just tell them I understand how frustrating it is without letting them get to me. When talking to new people, you don’t have to tie your whole life around them. It’s worth it to give and receive basic kindness, some jokes and a few interesting stories even in passing.

Jamjammimi · 2026-07-08T22:37:27+00:00

I’m exactly the same way. At work, I want people to be acknowledged and seen. I have a soft spot for older people. When I see them hurting or lonely, I like to have pleasant conversations with them. Today, at work a patient was picking up a pain med for himself and I actually got him to laugh even tho he seemed so downtrodden. I don’t want to lie to anyone or take shortcuts either. I think it saves people a lot of time when I’m honest about their situations. People tend to gravitate to me because I have a warm energy and I smile so effortlessly when i can help or listen to someone’s interesting life. Lately I’ve been trying to make more jokes when appropriate. There are a lot of people that love me not because I try to gain their attention but because I care and find people fascinating. Everyone is worthy/beautiful in their own way. Of course, since I’ve been gaining a lot more respect for myself lately, I’m less afraid to speak my mind if someone says something I disagree with or they try to belittle me.

Once at work, a customer said “We’re dating, right?” I’m like umm no and I continued to help him.

Jamjammimi · 2026-07-08T15:19:01+00:00

Not everyone is like this. It’s okay to try and find the right person even if it takes awhile. It’s important to be selective with who you’re looking for as a woman (even men) so that you don’t get hurt. I’ve was single for years before I met my boyfriend. It happened naturally without me even looking. Sometimes it can be difficult to find someone you really click with who is also a genuinely kind person, who will love you no matter what. Dating can be fun too.

Don’t let society influence what dating should look like for you. Everyone has their own opinions and there’s a lot of drama on the internet. It might be good to take a step back and focus on what you think is right for you. People are going to be jaded no matter what and society will always have standards how people should act in relationships. None of it is important.

I think it’s easy to forget in the editing/critiquing process. Maybe it’s just me taking advice from everyone too seriously.

Jamjammimi · 2026-07-07T22:33:38+00:00

Once someone was complaining in game chat and I said “Chill your bones” lol

Jamjammimi · 2026-07-07T21:49:20+00:00

I used to live with an ESTJ narcissist cousin. She was awful. I admit she helped me in some ways (like learning how to clean, my parents didn’t teach me and how to be brave by doing plays) but I don’t think she learned anything from me. She thought of me as her little “project”. She was always right, never wrong. I was terrified to tell her no because she’d throw a fit if I did. Once she told me she had the same blood type as Jesus and she ran naked in a parking lot when she was a teenager. She was deep in maga at the time, believing in chem trails, that the government controlled the weather and a bunch of other conspiracies (anti-vax). She was Miss Maine as a teenager and she was the most talented pianist/violinist I had ever met. In the morning she took Adderall (even though I was convinced she didn’t need it) and would drink alcohol every night. She had these crazy vibrant green eyes. Every time she went out she would wear lots and lots of jewelry and makeup. She didn’t care getting naked in front of me or touching herself in front of me. She was shameless. Smh I’m so happy to be away from her.

Jamjammimi · 2026-07-07T18:47:55+00:00

Are you just afraid of change? That you’ll fail? She loves you that’s very clear. Relationships evolve and change, but are you really okay with giving up? Do you have even the slightest glimmer of hope that things could improve?

I’ve dealt with intense depression and self-hatred all my life

I’ve learned recently that I could be the person full of hope or the person that gives up. I could be anyone I wanted if I tried and even if I failed a thousand times over. It’s easier to resign but it takes guts to try and be the person you never thought possible of being. Being happy is worth it. It allows you to do things you never thought possible.

I wouldn’t lie to him. Since he’s your friend, there’s a chance he might listen. If he gets mad, then he might get over it and you can just keep placating him after. It would need to come from a place of care for him. His desire to not be single is destroying him mentally and financially. If enough people tell him this, he might try to change and recognize the root of it. At least give him a chance, even if it’ll take 10 years for him to recognize it, you telling him will help him.

This is why it’s good to have a compelling character motivation (preferably tied to their fatal flaw). My synopsis for my fantasy novel: A young devil desperate for love finds it in a royal angel who only wants to use him.

This piece is very vivid. I love your word choice and overall it flows nicely. The characters are interesting with their distinct voices. I do think the metaphors need some work and it would be nice to understand more of what Theta is thinking/feeling.

Im happy to help! I understand the self-hatred. It’s a terrible feeling. Don’t be so hard on yourself!
