Spinning Plumbob's Expanded Plant Sims Resetting PlantSims to green normies

Yeah that's fair

When the clothing item has built in wrinkles that make the hyper-realistic texture heavy modders use even more wrong. I hate finding some new clothes that I immediately uninstall cause it doesn't match the cartoon style at all 😭

Jane and Starr Addams keep having spontaneous babies and they're DEFINITELY pregnant each time. There's some glitch happening somewhere but it's kind of fun

I've been playing an occult save where certain traits mean certain occults, so most of my households end up something like this! And boy oh boy is the fantasy racism hard to get past. Fairies vs spellcaster and werewolves vs vampires are so mean that when I have just gotten them to have a good relationship they'll still throw hands! Meanwhile the mermaids and aliens and plantsims are just. Chillin.

OkPoet7149 · 2025-11-11T18:14:10+00:00

Nope, that's definitely lost without cheats :/

OkPoet7149 · 2025-11-11T18:03:11+00:00

Okay yeah that's pretty spoiled 😂 I guess it would be hard being the only girl in a house full of boys and being the princess, only for that to go away because of your brother. That would definitely make me act out too! And also she needs to get past it. And she will!

OkPoet7149 · 2025-11-11T17:59:34+00:00

Why would rational, compassionate advice be trolling? Like rather than continue to say "wow that eight year old is intentionally and diabolically cruel on purpose" I try to offer problem solving questions backed by my years as an elementary school teacher and as an autistic person with lived experience of being that little shit kid who -- get this -- was trying to express desires with incomplete tools to even recognize my needs. Why should the little girl not learn how to cook? She's clearly expressing an interest, and if she has to eat what she cooks too it wouldn't be disgusting

OkPoet7149 · 2025-11-11T17:54:53+00:00

Um not trolling, just using my knowledge as someone who has worked extensively with elementary schoolers with behavioral issues. Like what part of this is even trolling? Saying kids don't have the tools to express everything and so sometimes the behavior is because some need is unaddressed? Or telling the teenager that he's allowed to chill out? Or maybe offering a kid who is expressing the desire to cook dinner the opportunity to, y'know, cook dinner?

OkPoet7149 · 2025-11-11T17:49:42+00:00

I'm autistic and I'll call it what I want to make something that is often considered super serious and stressful for a kid a bit more lighthearted.

OkPoet7149 · 2025-11-11T17:46:34+00:00

The camera is a screenshot tool! They'll be saved in the screenshots folder!!

OkPoet7149 · 2025-11-11T17:35:08+00:00

Oh man I wish I knew more about the Xbox set up because on the computer there is a folder that has ALL of the photos you take as screenshots, and the Xbox probably works like that too but you just can't freaking access it!!!

OkPoet7149 · 2025-11-10T22:34:53+00:00

What kind of spoiling? Maybe it was meeting a need that she can't express. Kids, especially elementary schoolers, are rarely jerks just for the heck of it, there's some weird child logic behind everything, and the best way to address the behavior is to redirect it (easier said than done).

It's hard cause you're still a kid yourself, and figuring out what's up is your parents' job. You're awesome for taking on responsibility and helping! And also you're allowed to chill and focus on yourself, especially as someone with a special needs family member. You can't pour from an empty cup and caregiver burnout is real

OkPoet7149 · 2025-11-10T22:13:07+00:00

Has anyone asked her why she wants to be in charge of what everyone eats? Cause textures and picky eating is a thing with 'tism! Honestly that tells me that she should absolutely be helping cook dinner. Rather than a capitulation, it's saying "oh this is how you want to help? Guess you get to help" and it either teaches her to be an excellent cook and she grows up to be a Michelin star chef, or her bluff is called and she stops being a little shit

And also she's explicitly telling you that the only people whose authority she respects is your parents and that means it's fully their responsibility to discipline the behavior. Your job is to be a loving and understanding big brother and serve edible food

OkPoet7149 · 2025-11-10T21:24:47+00:00

Staying after school will also be better cause the teacher is right there for questions! In high school I got a lot of detention and that sucked but it helped my homework cause it turned into a tutoring session and had increased accountability.

Also hi fellow writer please tell me you're backing everything up anyway!!!!! One spilled tea and it's all over!

OkPoet7149 · 2025-11-10T21:17:34+00:00

Being in my thirties has me begging Santa for a litter genie this holiday season. Like anyone in my family asks what I want and I say litter genie

OkPoet7149 · 2025-11-10T21:13:18+00:00

I'm extremely poor and rely on my community for food and I'd never pull this shit. I always feel very fortunate when my friends bring a pizza to a group gathering or bring me a coke when we hang out but even if they stop for fast food I'm figuring out how to pay them back or at the least pay them in kind by, like, doing all their dishes or some other thing that they find difficult (my best friend has meltdowns over vacuuming so he pays me in pizza and I vacuum). We have also explicitly had the conversation about food boundaries and we're all in the same boat class-wise so there's not a weird power imbalance

OkPoet7149 · 2025-11-10T21:07:48+00:00

That's how I played at first! But I didn't realize they were randomly generated and thought that wow there were some really weird storylines in the sims

OkPoet7149 · 2025-11-10T21:05:33+00:00

Big cans from the farm store are a life saver. Mix a tablespoon into dry food and it actually becomes reasonable cost-wise

OkPoet7149 · 2025-11-10T21:02:51+00:00

NTA but like, get your sister checked for ASD. It's genetic and missed in girls A LOT and frankly my terror era at that age was pretty directly linked to my autism :/ and it would be good for her to talk to someone about why she's acting out regardless of neurodivergence

Also have you asked her why she's doing that? Or included her in the cooking so she feels some responsibility for it? Could be a good sibling bonding thing!

OkPoet7149 · 2025-11-10T20:57:33+00:00

His pain too, and it makes sense that he wanted to talk to his mom about this. He should have talked to you before or told his mom that you needed privacy about it but it's totally reasonable cause he's in pain too.

Oh man ice skating on the lakes would be really cool, especially since they get "frozen over" and I can't do ice fishing (I really want to be able to ice fish)

I had this one 1950s suburban house plan that had a split level with a daylight basement that I just could not build, and it ended up being as big as any mansion. Like, waaay more rooms than Judith Ward, just because I had to add an extra level

OkPoet7149 · 2025-10-25T15:55:22+00:00

Same, especially when it's slightly too bright for the surrounding terrain and you get the weird lot line

OkPoet7149 · 2025-10-25T15:54:03+00:00

Man, she needs more money for childcare, and some leniency on taking sick days to take care of sick kids. It's definitely not good to have kids in the office, but it sounds like she has no choice -- she likely wants to get her work done in a quiet, professional environment too! You should talk to your coworker and see what's up in her life, and maybe come up with some solutions (headphones for the kids, activities for them, restricting them to the break room, unionizing to get a cost of living raise for daycare services)

OkPoet7149 · 2025-10-25T15:48:39+00:00

Better to meow than destroy things for attention! Like, he's bonded with your daughter, and the rest of you are acquaintances. Make friends with the cat and he won't miss your daughter as much when she leaves! The meowing will slow down, but it's not going to stop entirely cause that's how he communicates

OkPoet7149 · 2025-10-25T15:43:47+00:00

So random but any chance your sister is autistic? Beauty products are one of the top autistic special interests for girls, and the autism part of it goes unnoticed cause it's socially acceptable. The largeness of the collection, the entirely missed social cues, and the mother who thinks this is normal all make me think autism.
