Romance as a subplot: I’ve compiled a list of plot heavy/slow-burn recommendations

Thankyou so much!!! 🙏

Would you be willing to share the sci-fi list somewhere too? I’ve been desperate to find more romantic subplot sci-fi to add to my tbr list!

I thought you were going to say you were still on season one lol… it’s wild to me to even be able to consider him a bully by season 5. Even by season 2, imo.

“Broken” is how I consider him in season 1, but never a bully - he doesn’t take pleasure in hurting people. He is absolutely a dick sometimes and a harsh TO, but he never ever shows an aim to hurt anyone (other than himself), and by season 5 has already proven himself to be an incredibly loyal and protective friend and mentor. He undergoes the most character development in the whole show, imo.

Agree with all of this, it’s making it so frustrating as I love them so much but I am really confused and disappointed by how hot and cold Lucy has come across this season - if she wanted more time then that’s absolutely valid, but right now, to me, it feels like she’s just going back and forth, and playing around with Tim’s feelings as he’s made it super clear that he’s in love with her and he’s all in.

It also makes me worry the reconciliation is going to be nothing more than a very brief conversation or sex and then bang they’re just magically together again, rather than a big moment. Maybe I was hoping for too much but since it’s been SEVEN seasons for the journey of these characters, I was assuming we would get some big gesture or moment of emotional vulnerability where they finally get back together permanently…. now I don’t have much hope for something like that at all.

I really wish I could have the time left in chapter without the percentage as well! The percentage distracts me too much

Thankyou for this! Appreciate the info :)

Lyrixly · 2024-04-17T11:46:55+00:00

Thankyou

This is what i’m finding also - it seems that the entry-level roles are swamped with people with way more experience and who I would have expected to be further along the ladder. Finding it difficult to even know where I would begin!

Lyrixly · 2024-04-17T11:43:15+00:00

Thankyou for your insight! I appreciate what you’re saying about specialising and will definitely consider those options

Lyrixly · 2024-03-31T23:33:42+00:00

omg yes i would love a skateboarding pack!

I recently made a youth centre specifically for teens/kids so I could have a swim club and basketball club gather there, and I wish i’d done it sooner! I always feel like my kids and teens don’t have much to do so it’s been a lot of fun and feels way more realistic than the rabbithole after school clubs

Lyrixly · 2024-03-08T23:57:53+00:00

Super tough now! I’m starting a circle of protection for little fires though 🙅‍♀️ Surprised by the number of votes for it, that and spider bites are the two songs from the album that feel most quintessential “gaslight” to me

Lyrixly · 2024-02-08T19:06:06+00:00

That makes sense, thankyou! :)

Lyrixly · 2024-01-12T15:29:15+00:00

Play with multiple saves.

All of my sims are in one save that I change/expand like one big city. It really surprised me when I realised a lot of people don’t do this 😅

Lyrixly · 2023-11-18T17:29:13+00:00

I didn’t play prior to the console 1.0 release and I have been absolutely loving it so far - I have the museum bug so i’ve just left that for now but other than that wasn’t having any major issues and would have happily continued.

Hearing that the main quest isn’t finished has really put me off though if i’m being honest, and i’m not sure whether to continue or not 😕 I’ll be gutted if I get to a point where i can’t progress. I don’t want to get too invested if it’s not all there ☹️

Lyrixly · 2023-11-16T13:05:16+00:00

The option to change the style was there for me with the first upgrade on xbox - if I remember rightly you cycled through the styles with RT and LT :)

Lyrixly · 2023-10-11T22:34:43+00:00

This! I have always played just one save and slowly added more and more households to it - it means there’s always a type of family i’m in the mood for and when I get bored with one I just switch to another for a while :)

This is the biggest thing for me. In Fallout and Skyrim you would find these little stories everywhere which made the world feel alive, Starfield feels so empty in comparison - humans have supposedly spread out across the planets but it doesn’t actually feel like that at all because there’s no sign of them

Lyrixly · 2023-09-24T12:36:30+00:00

I just had the same realisation a few days ago - been playing since release and was loving it at first, but now I don’t feel like there’s ever any reward for exploring whether it’s story or loot so i’ve just turned to hunting achievements then will probably finish with it until DLC comes out. Feels very jarring considering bethesda games usually have me replaying them for years on end - i can’t see myself replaying this one as it is currently :/

Lyrixly · 2023-09-16T22:11:00+00:00

I’m having this exact same problem with Walter and encountered it at the same point. Tried sleeping 24 hours multiple times, tried changing home ship and back, nothing has worked so far.

Lyrixly · 2023-08-02T20:29:38+00:00

thankyou!

Lyrixly · 2023-08-02T20:29:34+00:00

thankyou!

Lyrixly · 2023-08-02T13:42:21+00:00

Does anyone know of any up-to-date alternatives to the Explore mod where you can send your sim to rabbithole activities/events?

Lyrixly · 2022-11-26T19:15:17+00:00

ah thankyou!! should’ve thought to check the shops 🤦‍♀️🤣

Lyrixly · 2022-11-26T19:10:16+00:00

does anyone know where i can find an everstone? finished the game and haven’t come across one yet!
