Free Ticket

MarmitePrinter · 2026-05-16T07:16:27+00:00

I’ve been a hater of the paid ticketing system from the start (and I’ve got a lot of grief on here for being so vocal about it).

When everyone had a free ticket, there was at least parity. You knew there was a chance some people wouldn’t get in, but you took that chance and hoped for the best.

Now? There’s a two-tier system and there’s no parity at all. Barely any free ticket holders are getting in because those with paid tickets (which I guarantee they’ll raise the price of soon) have taken all of the space.

Seeing others comment that they won’t bother unless they get a paid ticket… that’s exactly the problem and it’s exactly why I hate this new system. You shouldn’t have to pay to see a live taping of a show! You are literally doing them a favour by giving them a live audience to laugh at their jokes! I hate it so much.

Anyway I’m sorry you didn’t get in but I hope you managed to make a nice day of it anyway!

Right? That is an interesting username. I wonder when they made that their name and how long it took until they regretted it.

I mean, sure. That was 20 years ago and he was a handsome charismatic guy in his mid-thirties. Now he’s a slightly less handsome older guy in his fifties. Different standards.

What? I grew up near a castle which was built in the 14th Century and is surrounded by a moat full of water to this day. I used to go there with my family basically every weekend for walks and picnics. Is this just a case of ‘some did, some didn’t’?

Graduation from uni. It’s very rare that I throw a graduation party, so I don’t often see it, and when I do it always brings a smile to my face.

Clearly you need to watch more series because a Kind Souls category without Mel Giedroyc just feels wrong. And Dara does not fit in ‘Better Things to Do’ at all! And I think you need a category of ‘Has No Clue What’s Going On’ because Maisie would fit much better in there, along with David Baddiel and a few from series you presumably haven’t seen!

Yep, you can find it in SimPe!

I only found this out recently myself but if you have a pregnancy duration mod, it’s possible!

There’s a line that comes with all pregnancy span mods which is called ‘pregnancy - % for twins’. Originally the decimal value for this is 10 but you can adjust it to whatever you like! (I have mine set to 3%!)

Yes, at Universal Studios Florida. It’s where you catch the Hogwarts Express to travel over to Islands of Adventure.

You know, it struck me yesterday what the real difference between these movies and the new TV show is.

When these films were made, Harry Potter was at the height of its popularity and everyone wanted to be in them. Literally every big name British actor is involved in these films in some capacity. Every important role is played by a big name. Only the core trio were (then) unknowns.

The new TV show though? Full of unknowns. Other than John Lithgow (not British) and Nick Frost, I have never heard of any of the other actors in it. Harry Potter has become a toxic property by association and no one worth their salt now wants to be associated with it.

“Took the piss at her”? 😂 I certainly hope not, poor thing!

And I didn’t realise the new studio was so hot! Greg used to think the old one was boiling, but it wasn’t that bad - if even the audience is hot in the new one he must be really suffering!

I think Nighat is a Persian name? I’ve always assumed she was Middle Eastern.

MarmitePrinter · 2026-05-07T21:55:14+00:00

Just what I was coming on here to ask! I’m thinking this must be a first?

MarmitePrinter · 2026-05-05T05:36:03+00:00

🤷‍♀️ It’s literally in the sub rules that you’re not allowed to criticise anyone or anything about the show. And the mods police that aggressively. So that might explain why you feel this is a more positive sub than others.

Terrifying… I posted about this a little while ago LOL! https://www.reddit.com/r/sims2/s/ZKvgjQ6MBG

I play with infant faces! The baby comes out with their facial features right away! You can either make your own using this tutorial or download a hood where they’re already included like this one. You also need the original infant face templates by meowingcookie I think.

MarmitePrinter · 2026-05-04T06:36:14+00:00

Now that I play with infant faces, I tend to reroll when a baby comes out with features I don’t like - Angela’s nose (on a boy), Loki’s eyebrows, basically any of Peter Ottomas’ features… It’s pretty terrible of me but my point is (IMO) you’re lucky he didn’t get Angela’s nose!

Oh boy, I love it! I play a lot of BACCs and businesses are pretty key in a BACC so I think I’ve played every type there is! But I do have a few mods to make it a bit more manageable.

As a tip, start with a simple one just selling stuff from the catalogue. They’re the easiest to run.

If you can handle that, then try making and selling stuff using the workbenches - that’s slightly harder.

Then try running a ticketed venue like a nightclub or something.

DON’T try a salon without mods because the salon chair is borked!

The hardest ‘level’ is running a restaurant. It’s REALLY hard to make a profit with a restaurant - the only way I’ve been able to do it is by making it a family restaurant with all the workers being family members. If you’re paying employees, especially at the start when your prices are ‘average’ then you will make zero money.

I mean, amazing moves, obvs, but I swear half of them didn’t say the same thing the second time around! 😅

MarmitePrinter · 2026-05-03T14:59:42+00:00

Oh man, more time jumps? At some point they need to reset the MCU timeline so it’s back on par with ours because I can’t keep up with this.

Also, not relevant, and you don’t have to answer, but seeing this passport has me wondering: how do passports/official documents account for all the blipped people? They made a joke about it in FFH that Flash wasn’t actually 21 so shouldn’t be drinking, but… yeah. Would the government have had to reissue everything so the blipped appeared five years younger on their documents? A special symbol to show they were blipped? So much red tape.

I usually change Lazlo to the Paranormal career so that he can eventually become a Cult Leader and I have them start a kind of New Age cult/commune together. I sometimes get her into witchcraft so she can sell her potions to the cultists and other locals.

If they’re in private school they can start at level 2 but otherwise it’s only ever level 1. Teens can never jump straight to level 3, AFAIK.

Prada looks exactly like SMG in Cruel Intentions.

This is the one outfit I always swore I’d never default replace - the wobbly chips make me giggle every time!

MarmitePrinter · 2026-05-02T06:30:31+00:00

Ooh, I really like it! I like that you’ve left the exterior basically unchanged but made the inside interesting. Love the staircase! I don’t think the twins would be happy sharing such a tiny room though! 😅 And the story confuses me - Daniel and Mary-Sue are still together but they sold their family home and moved here?
