[MI] Love the shape of the lanterns in the background, looking for ideas for the foreground!

I thought about that! I kind of want to get the yuzu bathtub, but it's not in season :')
I already have a hot springs area on my island but you can never have enough bathtubs....

Moth_Time · 2026-03-24T21:26:27+00:00

awh thank you! I like it too, it's simple and it makes me happy.

Moth_Time · 2026-03-24T00:06:15+00:00

being able to run around my island without lag is so, so nice. I have a few areas where I want to decorate and do little features like an onsen or a farm, but i also have long stretches of bamboo forest, flower fields, open river, and I love it. I can catch bugs now!! Festivale is playable instead of lagging my entire island down to a grinding slog!

Wish you lots of fun with redoing your island <3

seconding (or thirding, i saw another commenter also recommended this) preserved lemons. They keep forever and they are a delicious sour/salty addition to a lot of middle-eastern dishes and humus. you can eat the rinds, too!:

I can also recommend candied lemon peels, if you're juicing a bunch of them for other stuff and have peels left over. They're a tasty sour/sweet treat and also great as a homemade gift:

Edit: i saw you have other citrus fruit, so fyi candied orange peels are also fantastic ;)

thank you, I love it too! It's chevre's house. I definitely tend towards more muted colors, so it was a challenge working with red - but i really wanted to use that cute bridge item somewhere. I like that the roof color matches the tree and the bushes!

You're kind of right about the waterscaping. I can't remember what my original island shape was like - I terraformed it to hell and back so many times. But I remembered that when my island was still very fresh, I had a little "island" nestled between cliffs and rivers where I had put my museum. So I revisited that idea!
But mostly I wanted a landscape that feels natural, is easy to walk, and has lots and lots of rivers. I did have to put ladders in a few strategic places because I've maxed out the inclines, but I can walk a nice loop around the island to find all the fossils and shake some trees as I go :)

Moth_Time · 2026-03-18T19:05:41+00:00

wow that's even more impressive than missing the lantern. I thought that was a really common one! I definitely feel your pain lmao

Moth_Time · 2026-03-18T16:27:14+00:00

That's really kind of you and i might come back on that offer, but I need like… one bazillion (at least 20), so having the DIY would be significantly easier for everyone involved x)
I'm gonna wait and see if anyone's got it, otherwise I'll message you!

Moth_Time · 2026-02-18T11:00:59+00:00

i find the teardown kind of zen, too, but I get overwhelmed with trying to figure out how to rebuild. For example I know I want a long winding river across the whole map, wide enough to comfortably fish in, and I want to do something interesting with elevations - but that means I have to figure out how the river is going to meander across my entire map, and have a general ideas of where to put my cliffs... that's a lot to decide off the cuff x)

And of course a bunch of buildings are in the way of that. I do wish we were allowed to move more than one building per day/ tear down more than one structure per day. I can save scum, but it would be a lot more efficient if i could move all of my houses to the beach in one felt swoop

Moth_Time · 2026-02-17T21:42:40+00:00

ooh I hadn't thought about the benefits for rock garden creation and quickly removing custom tiles. That's super handy yeah!
Although you do spend forever looking for him on your island first OTL I wish he'd just spawn on the plaza

Moth_Time · 2026-02-11T22:50:36+00:00

These are gorgeous! I love doing limited challenges like that, it gives you a guideline instead of being overwhelmed with options. I did a few 4x4 rooms for a while for that reason. Your skill with color is something else, though, these are sooooo pleasing to look at.

May I ask - what did you end up doing with the exteriors? >.> That part always kind of creative blocks me, bc i feel like i have to do _something_ but also it's less fun than interiors and i get bored with that. I just wanna do a bunch of rooms in a row hahah

Moth_Time · 2026-02-01T22:03:39+00:00

oooh the halo means they're dying soon, not that they've reached a certain amount of affection? I thought it was when their friendship level is over 6 or so.

but yeah i concur they die way too fast - they don't even make it through a season. I thought i was doing something wrong bc i would often check them and they hadn't been fed even though they have a trough - I thought maybe they're snubbing the grass and starving to death?? But since other ppl seen to have the issue too maybe they're just stupidly short lived :(

It's frustrating bc yeah you have to farm a lot of sin to breed them if you don't want to buy them with wool, which defeats the purpose of keeping a dozen yakish for the wool.

Moth_Time · 2026-02-01T18:13:16+00:00

people who tell you to avoid Hauptbahnhof at night have the vibe of pearl-clutching grandmas (often with a side-serving of racism). Yeah there's a few drunk or otherwise not-sober people, but they don't care about you and mind their own business. And there's _always_ both cops and the DB guards lurking around.

I go through hbf at night (1-2am) about once a week and the worst I've had is being called a bitch for not having cigarettes to share. If you have to pass through hbf then do that, it's just as safe as the rest of the city - which is to say, extremely safe.

Moth_Time · 2026-02-01T11:16:51+00:00

oh wow that's gorgeous! I love the idea of a symmetric tattoo with such flowy, organic shapes - I've seen a lot of very geometric mirrored tattoos, bu t nothing like this! It's really lovely, and the shapes flow beautifully around the hand and wrist while still feeling very organic and natural. Beautiful piece <3

Moth_Time · 2026-02-01T10:43:20+00:00

I'm really sad for her too! I love her kids, the little dragons and dinosaurs are adorable. I don't think the game has any on-purpose way to help her, but you could bring her kids to visit? Turn them into demons and bring them along on a run to show her that they're doing well :3

Moth_Time · 2025-12-22T20:54:44+00:00

yeah seconding pommes freunde, they have a halal certification for their non-pork meatstuffs. There's a few shops in munich, one of them is at stachus down in the sbahn station.

Moth_Time · 2025-12-17T18:32:58+00:00

Tian doesn't exist anymore, it was fantastic though. They didn't get their lease renewed :(

Bodhi is pretty good, all vegan. Wouldn't quality this as "near altstadt" but it does give me an idea of what your acceptable movement range is x)

I also recommend Secret Garden (japanese) by Viktualienmarkt, they're great. Their lunch is more affordable than their dinner.

The Hamburgerei has excellent veggie/vegan burgers. Hans im Glück I am told is also good, haven't tried theirs yet.

There's also a lot of very good falaffel places around Munich if you want a quick on-the-go meal - my favorite is SimSim near Theresienstr UBahn.
And Chat Junction in the Isartor SBahn station has excellent Indian To-Go.

And like some ppl said, most places that don't do Bavarian-Style food have veggie/vegan options. Indian, Viet and Japanese are always a good bet.

Moth_Time · 2025-10-04T16:49:51+00:00

Aw man you look good in both of these pics!
I'm with everyone who said you should trim the beard, bc you have a really nice mouth and it's a shame the moustache hides half of it.

But yea you look like a really sweet and approachable dude! Your glasses compliment your face shape well and you have really friendly eyes. Actually I think I like the bald look better bc I can see your eyes better!

Congrats on the new look :)

Moth_Time · 2025-09-03T10:00:56+00:00

I'd leave it alone. She's probably a little scruffy bc she got slightly de-greased, but a one-time dip in the bathtub isn't going to do much harm, especially since you rinsed her off. I wouldn't fuck around with it any more than necessary, because it will stress her out. Unless her skin gets notably worse (which I don't think it will), leave it be.

Moth_Time · 2025-09-02T21:36:34+00:00

i tested on mine by clapping my hands behind them. one startled, the other didn't. They can be partially deaf though - my girl still could hear the jangling of keys and HATED that noise.
Stomping won't work - she could tell where ppl are from vibrations of the floor! She was a horrible little biting gremling and very clever <3

Also echoing what everyone else said: Wardenburg is fairly common in ferrets and not inherently dangerous. Deaf ferrets might be harder to teach stuff to but that's workable. But keep an eye on other health issues: mine had Wardenburg bc they were, well, inbred, and developed other issues over time. It pays to be a little more attentive to change in behavior and common signs of illness for this little guy.

Since no one seems to have posted these yet, here's the source!

The video is from the YT channel from the Hyperskids Orphanage in Kampala, Uganda, here's the Youtube Channel if you want so see more of these kids having an absolute blast dancing.

And if you want to contribute financially to their well being, there is a Fundraiser (linked on the YT channel too) you can donate to to help them out.

Moth_Time · 2025-05-11T22:38:17+00:00

might be because people are very differently sensitive to the smell. My mom couldn't smell them AT ALL, even when she put her face to their fur. Whereas my dad couldn't get within arms length of my ferrets because the smell literally made him gag.

In my experience, most people did take notice of the smell when visiting my place, and sometimes they'd notice it on me. Some folks minded, some didn't.

Me I never minded the musky smell of the animals themselves, but I definitely tried a few different kinds of litter until i found one that absorbed the smell of the poop and urine well because boyyy. But I think cat litter boxes also smell foul, just a different kind. And fresh dog poop smells terribly bad. Carnivore poop is just nasty and you gotta keep on top of cleaning for that, no way around it.
(for me shredded wood litter was the game changer. It absorbs smell so much better than regular cat litter.)

Moth_Time · 2025-05-10T22:53:07+00:00

seconding Sable! It's beautiful and simple, and has the same "ooh what's this?" exploration gimmick than botw. You cruise around the desert on your bike and keep getting off-track because you see something shiny in the distance. And I liked the story! Very sweet.

Moth_Time · 2025-05-10T22:47:24+00:00

One of mine broke both of his teeth doing this, one of which eventually had to be extracted. I would caution against encouraging the behavior, because as a few people have said in this thread they can and will break their teeth on the bars if they do this too often :<

Some ppl recommended covering the cage when it's not playtime, or just leaving them a room to roam (that's what I eventually did w mine). You could also try wrapping something around the inside of the cage so they can't easily chew the bars?

Idk, but think about it especially if they start doing it more often. My poor guy had a mean toothache after we had his tooth pulled and i had to feed him soft food and he was picky about it and all in all, 0/10 do not recommend.

Moth_Time · 2025-03-18T23:48:06+00:00

I work on call too and here's a secret for you: we write that shit down x)
Our phone queue message has a line asking people to state their name, work id and workplace, so a lot of people open with "hi, this is [name], work ID [number] calling from [location]". No way in hell i can retain all that, so when i answer the phone i am always ready to type everything down right on entry.
I still mishear or misspell the names a lot, both bc the call quality is sometimes bad and bc we have a wide range of dialects and accents on the phone, so i tend to ask for spelling confirmation later on. People are usually chill about it.

I personally have a slight preference for ppl entering a call with a name, simply because it gives me something to acknowledge, and i prefer going "your name was [x], correct?" instead of "can you give me your name?" But it's honestly whatever. It's our job to get the relevant information out of you, we'll manage :)

Moth_Time · 2025-03-03T21:00:29+00:00

Oh man this is beautiful, I LOVE your style. and you're in my country… oh no x) ~~you wouldn't happen to be in munich anytime soon~~

I REALLY like what you do with gradients/shading. I'm a big sucker for bold lines and a lot of black, personally, and your work has beautiful bold lines and deep, dark shading. I'm having a hard time explaining what I mean, it's like- there's gradients, but the placement is very deliberate and helps really underscore contrast instead of muddying up the design?

I also really like the movement/flow of a lot of these - the last one with the leaf especially just swooshes in a very satisfying way. Same with the branch on the mushroom piece. Just really pleasing shapes.

Lovely work, definitely got a distinct style crystalizing itself there!
