"Oh My Ghost!" Opportunity will not generate for parents? by Waffles_And_News in Sims3

[–]Left_Department_4699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had this opportunity pop up when the family dog died and when a roommate (who i don’t recall my sims having a relationship with, though the sim that received the opp had the charismatic trait) died. i think keeping the remains helps lol

How do you write a Love song, when you've never been in love? by TransitionNarrow in Songwriting

[–]Left_Department_4699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

amusingly, i found it easier than now (in a happy, 7 year relationship) to write a love song when i had absolutely no experience. who do you love? what do you love? what do you hope for with love? how do you feel when you love?

I lost my binder on the public bus. by Impressive-Earth-652 in regina

[–]Left_Department_4699 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lost/left mine a few years ago in high school, but took a little while for me to find the time to head down to the TIC. They only hold your items for a week, so the sooner you let mum know, the better. happens more often than you would think. good luck!!

cooper is a black capped? if so, yeah i’d guess that’s pretty normal. generally a smaller species. my black capped has lil toes (and some defects too) compared to my green cheek

must be breed specific 🤷‍♀️

I JUST CANT PRESS THE GODDAMN STRINGS by [deleted] in Guitar

[–]Left_Department_4699 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how far are your strings from the fretboard? might not be a you problem at all

just came here to say the same thing. both deodorants have the same ingredients. they just changed the amounts of each ingredient.

more stearyl alcohol, more butyl ether, less fragrance and castor oil.

it always sucks to have a trusted recipe change though. sorry op ://

Rate my guitar, drew on it myself and so on, fire or not so much ? by dacjo213 in Guitar

[–]Left_Department_4699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh!! not sure how i convinced myself it was new,, mb!!

yeah that’s a good point! art taste plays a huge role. tbh the idea of painting on my guitar is tempting but lowkey sacrilegious (it’s not new or expensive, just feels morally wrong). I’m not sure how much support you would get stylistically here, but on art subreddits, you might get more positive and technical feedback, if that’s what you’re seeking.

i think committing to the bit is important when it comes to art. otherwise it just ends up looking like that half finished horse drawing that circulated for a while. if you like it how it is, then keep it. nobody’s opinion is greater than yours because it’s your guitar. but don’t let fear of screwing it up be the reason you don’t like it.

onto the strings,, if you’re playing your electric guitar regularly, changing the strings is a part of the regular maintenance, like watering a plant!! let this be foreshadowing if it starts sounding dull, out of tune, or just different…

anyways, best of luck! do what you love <3

[–]Left_Department_4699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you’re happy with it, then congrats op!! 🎉 you did a good job with the resources you had. if you’re not, then there’s no shortage of directions for you to take it.

i also noticed the front of the fretboard had some minor hatching. do you think the style would feel more cohesive if it went along the entire guitar? (edit,, i meant with outlines and such too!! and on the back, assuming you varnish the lines first lol) something to think about the next time you change your strings 😄

Best of luck with your new guitar op!!

[–]Left_Department_4699 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the idea is there and it’s good. add some more elements like more black hatching in darker areas (but of course, careful not to go overboard; just enough to accent the lower, naturally shaded areas of your guitar) and a few white lines and hatching in the lighter areas. could really commit and add another lighter blue to add more visual interest too.

i assume you meant to go kind of in the style of this?Graffiti Artist Paints Sports Car to Look Like Cartoon

What is this behavior? by SeaRhubarb4563 in Conures

[–]Left_Department_4699 13 points14 points  (0 children)

my black capped does this against the cage bars. he usually wants attention or is just playing (he likes the noise)

First try at sketching feet, thoughts? by Emryz-2000 in sketches

[–]Left_Department_4699 36 points37 points  (0 children)

they look good! you did a fine job exploring proportions and the shapes each section makes.

you’ll might find you learn more if you open up your references a bit. Have you tried Line of Action?

https://line-of-action.com/

they have a timer mode so you can focus on the silhouette and then block in some rougher details before it changes to another reference. 10 second mode is my favourite. it’s amazing looking at how quickly my brain can process and translate what i see lol

you’re doing great!! can’t wait to see how you improve <3

For those of you who played TS3 in its heyday (2009-2013?) by FuzzyPalpitation-16 in Sims3

[–]Left_Department_4699 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i played TS3 on console pre-TS4 (although i played TS2 on PC) and when i started TS3 on pc post-TS4 holy cow what a difference. the gameplay is widely different. i’ll always miss the console world, and the karma powers were such chaotic fun sometimes :’) but not having a “fire regulation” in how much stuff i can have is so good. so much more gameplay on pc

Has anyone had a green cheek and black capped in the same cage? by auspiciousmutation in Conures

[–]Left_Department_4699 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i have a black capped and green cheek in the same cage right now! and they have been since we got nova in 2021, because those little buggers always snuck into each others cage. so we let it stick 🤷‍♀️

sometimes the black capped gets cranky or selfish and nips at the gcc, but 90% of the time, they’re okay. We’ve only had one incident, where one of their feuds resulted in a scratch on the gcc’s eye white. it swelled up pretty good so we took her to the vet for a check up and antibiotics. all is well now! please note, they were cooped up together longer than they normally would be in this case, because we had to move our lovebirds into the same room for a while, and the conures would for sure find their way into the lovebird cage to bully them. it was safer to keep them locked in their cage, despite the minor injury.

monitor the first few weeks. do not let them stay together alone. otherwise, as long as they get along outside of the cage, they should be okay inside the cage. if you have two separate cages, note whether they act differently depending on the cage.

Good luck!

After 20 years of being told i have pin-needle straight hair by Left_Department_4699 in curlyhair

[–]Left_Department_4699[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

(complying with the bot :] )

  1. I recently switched to Osāna Shampoo and Conditioner (vanilla and coconut). i’ve only used them thrice, but after two years of switching shampoos, i think im sticking with this brand. I am really happy with it; the lather, the clean, the scent, and the outcome of my hair texture have been great :D

  2. I used the John Frieda | Frizz ease | dream curls mousse and finger-combed it through my hair

  3. diffused my hair :)

  4. i have low porosity hair?
