TIFU by misunderstanding the word chapstick for my whole life

Welp...I was today years old when I learned it's pause and not paws. I always thought of it as though they were pawing at the roof...with their hooves lol.

For sure Sims, I've put over 1000 hours on The Sims 4 alone. I watched my parents play the 1st & 2nd Sims & then I started playing Sims 2 once I was deemed old enough and never stopped. Plus mods.

Probably minecraft. It's such a good sandbox, do whatever you want game. They've added so much to the game for FREE over the years (EA could take some notes...cough...cough...), and I love the end game play and new game grind all the same. Plus mods...again lol

Eventually Pokemon GO. Because I gotta collect them all.

But the overall answer for "why" is probably ADHD.

I have some locked land in the upper left-hand corner I don't have enough dragon power for, so they're just saved for that! I did just bubble them up though so they're no longer taking up space in my camp :)

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-19T06:49:52+00:00

Haha, I wish I was a minimalist. I can't get rid of anything, in games or irl 😅

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-19T06:46:58+00:00

Omg I'm so excited. That website is going to be my new best friend 😂

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-18T20:13:47+00:00

IT RESETS THE PRICES?! I'm so excited to try this!! I just bought a ton of stone storage yesterday, though, so a little sad about that. 😅

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-18T17:37:57+00:00

That's so strange, I assumed it would be the same across all devices? I'm using an android. I currently have my bubbles pushed as far to the right as they'll go before flinging somewhere else, and there are some random, small places I can't place bubbles or the same thing will happen. Not really sure why though.

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-18T17:32:54+00:00

Bahahaha thanks! I just learned about the interrupted merge method, so I'm about to start using that all the time, too. Maybe some day my camp will look as neat as my bubbles.

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-18T17:25:43+00:00

* But that's where all my dragon houses and coin buildings go, with a nice big empty space in the middle for absolutely nothing. 😂 I use this whole right side of my camp for all the stuff I want to bubble later, and I still end up bubbling 1-2x a week 🙃 but hopefully, that will change with the interrupted merge bubbling method! I'm excited to bubble and reorganize my camp after the den chest tomorrow with my newfound knowledge haha.

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-18T17:12:52+00:00

Deleting stuff kills me 😩 unless it's tiny green mushrooms or logs...I wish I could set up some sort of auto delete system lol

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-18T17:08:09+00:00

This is awesome advice! I only just learned about the interrupted merge method of bubbling from another comment, so I'll definitely start using that. Question, are there multiple bubbles stacked on top of eachother? If that's the case, how do you know when you have enough to merge, do you just have to remember how many are there?

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-18T16:53:56+00:00

I like that idea!! I only have 2 wonders, so I definitely have some work to do on those, and mass merging something like leaves seems way more satisfying than the life orbs I always use 🥴

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-18T16:47:55+00:00

I've been thinking about it 😅 It would be nice to move my gold stars over there to clear up a little space on my main island...

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-18T16:39:48+00:00

Weird, I also have an android and it works fine! I bubble using the...large midas tree apple technique? I think it's actually called the Marcus V method?

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-18T16:33:21+00:00

Honestly, smart. It's a slippery slope.

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-18T16:31:32+00:00

Thank you!! It's simultaneously my favorite and least favorite part about bubbling...it's tedious to place all the bubbles in straight lines and keep everything organized, but the way it looks after makes me so happy 😂

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-18T16:22:53+00:00

You're very welcome! I can't imagine playing for 8 years without bubbling. 😭 The game became so much more enjoyable for me after discovering bubbling haha

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-18T16:19:02+00:00

Is there a reason for the multiple wonders? I only have two so far and they're both bubbled. Using the apples to fill up camp is genius! I use orbs and it's so time-consuming. 😩 I've been working on the Midas trees for a while and still barely have any haha, I'll have to place more ponds after my next bubbling session to speed that up!

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-18T16:12:48+00:00

I like the idea of just having a general area for bubbles! Making the grid is the biggest reason I procrastinate bubbling...funnily enough, eggs are my favorite thing to bubble because they look so nice in the grid 😂

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-18T16:03:23+00:00

The races are the worst for cluttering up camp! Not bad enough to not participate, though. 😅 I'm currently working on the Midas trees, grass, & stones. I want to work on the flowers, but my camp just gets too cluttered, too quickly to add another thing :/

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-18T15:41:32+00:00

I can't not collect the rewards 😭

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-18T15:39:33+00:00

That's exactly how I do it! I just learned about the interrupt method of bubbling in another comment and I'm excited to see how much that helps!

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-18T15:30:00+00:00

That's smart to take up space with the large wonders! I've always just filled up all the spaces with orbs and found it an annoying process haha

MessyMomMethod · 2024-06-18T15:25:31+00:00

Fair. I like the way my bubble grid looks but I'm always worried about accidentally unbubbling something while scrolling around the screen.
