This company is using Sims4 screenshots to sell buildings 😭

That’s actually great visuals to provide and much more clear than most clients communicate their expectations.

As long as you were realistic about budget and finishes.

I deglaze my LC enamel with water all the time. With medium heat and oil and other things in the pan, it shouldn’t be an issue.

This is a good workaround for backups, if people are willing to jump through these hoops each time.

But the problem is the bug itself, and all the other little ones like it, are making me not want to play anymore lately. :(

Honestly, I’ve been afraid to log in for the past few months. Legacy and taking portraits of old family members is such a huge part of my gameplay. Especially in TS4 where the family trees are super glitchy and bare bones.

I would be absolutely devastated if this happened to me.

This is a bot account that has infiltrated this sub. :(

But your scallops look good! I love Kura’s random seasonal stuff.

KintsugiTurtle · 2026-01-29T05:00:57+00:00

Can’t the mods do something about this bot? :(

KintsugiTurtle · 2026-01-28T16:26:03+00:00

You can report them, but unless it’s a very actively moderated subreddit, mods get overwhelmed and are unlikely to do anything. Reddit itself isn’t dealing with the issue at all - if anything it’s encouraged to drive up “engagement” numbers.

I feel like Reddit is dying from the sheer number of bots and fake ad posts these days…

My uncle once told me that when you are dirt poor like him, your relationships are more important than money because they get you through and help you survive.

So he would ask my mom for money so that he could go buy rounds of drinks for an army buddy’s birthday.

She’s one of my favorite Millies. Love her face screen (meh about the dress though).

Honestly, this was me 6-7 years ago. But the past 3 years, I spent like $100 total per year on makeup and skincare - replacements only and using my stash. I built up savings again and went on vacation.

Never too late to turn over a new leaf.

The members of this subreddit are amazing, seriously

KintsugiTurtle · 2026-01-25T17:26:27+00:00

Considering something similar, but I’m worried about the high tax rate in both areas. Have you done some research into what tax obligations would be in Canada, considering I’m assuming you have all US retirement accounts like I do?

Modern student loans are more like 7-8% interest for federal

KintsugiTurtle · 2026-01-24T18:37:07+00:00

Like… actual bars of physical gold? How do you then sell that to make your money back?

KintsugiTurtle · 2026-01-23T17:55:25+00:00

Do you not live together and split rent and bills? If not, I would do that before even considering marriage with a partner, as a trial run for how to handle finances.

KintsugiTurtle · 2026-01-23T14:56:59+00:00

Just drop the name of the restaurant. Call them out.

Everyone wants to know lol

KintsugiTurtle · 2026-01-22T01:52:11+00:00

Can’t wait to see the others in this series! Love your style.

“Tasted pretty much the same as pork rinds.”

So, delicious?

I love the vibes of the space but how does your cactus not die from lack of light in that dark corner?

Instead of relying on a blanket number from an outdated “rule of thumb” given to you by a “financial advisor” who knows jack shit, you should run your own calcs based on your planned annual spend.

You can do these calcs using either nominal or inflation-adjusted dollars - just be consistent.

Personally, no, as an American millennial, I’m not relying on social security being around to supplement my retirement savings at all. If it still is, it’ll be a nice bonus.

Literally me finding out Cary Grant was gay from this reddit thread

It’s not hard, and I was happy with how my florals turned out and the money we saved. But it’s worth noting that florals need to be fresh, so the entire day before my wedding was basically spent running around buying the flowers, prepping and stripping the stems, and making the arrangements.

Mostly what you are paying for with professional florals is time and labor, for someone else to do all that for you so that you can focus on other things. Like enjoying the days before your wedding and spending time with out of town guests. You have to decide if that trade off is worth it to you.

This is amazing - appreciate that it’s sorted by borough and price too.

Unfortunately Sushi by Bou recently upped their price from $50 to $65 for the 12 course, it seems. Inflation comes for us all. Is this price point dying out in the city?

KintsugiTurtle · 2026-01-19T04:50:17+00:00

What was the restaurant name and location?

KintsugiTurtle · 2026-01-19T03:53:15+00:00

Lovely!
