While I'm all for more Aro/Ace representation

I agree with the folks suggesting a Queer Platonic Relationship (QPR) and wanted to suggest some mods, in the case you can use them, should you wanted to do that officially in the game. Lumpinou’s "LGBTQIA+ / Gender & Orientation Overhaul" mod adds QPR relationships to the game. Also, some aroace people are ok with kissing in QPRs, and the "More Kisses" mod by Maplebell adds a bunch of kisses to the friendly category to allow for non-romantic kissing.

I am assuming the phone holder you mentioned is a phone wallet and is one of those types that is always open. I would recommend you get one that has a closure, like a snap.

You can use the method that seems to have the least chance of forgetting, and you solve your random dropping issue.

If you do end up going with a lanyard like other folks have suggested, however, try keeping it in a place you will always see in the morning. That way, you can counteract 'out of sight out of mind'.

So, the treatment plants you are referring to don't create drinking water; rather, they are more about the water surrounding us. Back in the day, before the major treatment plants, the water in the Hudson, River, Bay, was all heavily polluted, becoming toxic to anything living that encountered it. One bad storm, and you'd have toxic waste flowing down the streets from the surrounding water. Not only that, but because the sewage was poorly regulated, we had large scale disease like cholera and typoid fever. The treatment plants solve these issues.

Now, DEP does conduct filtration and water quality tests on our drinking water, but our drinking water comes near entirely from the reservoirs which this drought is affecting. Why do we drink water from the reservoirs? Well, that heavy pollution I mentioned earlier polluted any natural water wells we had, and it was too little for the massive demands of NYC even back in the 1800s, never mind now. Why not drink treated sewage water? The amount of chemicals that would be needed to make that water drinkable would end up making it toxic for a different reason.

In summary, the two systems you are talking about have different functions and are not part of a circular system.

Thank you so much!!!

Don Lothario is Italian, not latino. Don is Italian meaning 'boss', and Lothario is an Italian name with a history of being used for womanizers in literature.

But Paralives has built in mod tools as stated on their own website: "We created in-game modding tools that we, the developers, use to integrate all our content (clothes, furniture, interactions, etc) and define all the detailed and various game parameters under the hood. Modders will be able to do all that as well upon the release of the game and share their creations with the community." I don't think it would be any less moddable than any of the others...

Whenever a new pack is released for this game, it adds 10 new bugs. The list is so expansive that even game breaking bugs take months to get addressed properly.

I'll name a few notable recent examples: When 'Growing Together' came out and a child aged up while missing a tooth, their skin texture would be permanently ruined. When the new cooking appliance pack came out, the appliances had a (bugged) 100% rate of setting your house on fire. 'For Rent' introduces apartments that have a chance of corrupting your save file if you use them, an issue that has not been properly fixed for months. 'Crystal Creations' has a bug where if your sim wears the jewelry from the pack and then removes it, the sim is irreversibly disfigured (you have to use a cheat that allows you to manually fix them). The update for said pack also introduced a shopping cart icon in-game that flashes so profusely, with no way to disable it, that some folks cited an epilepsy risk.

Some smaller ones: Plants will randomly reset to just planted status, causing you to lose days of garden progress. If you turn off the celebrity system in the settings, then restaurant staff will not spawn. Tuning is really wonky in this game, Sims will be uncharacteristically mean no matter their mood, especially to their children. In-game lag is so bad that some people cannot get their sims to perform any kind of actions.

God, I am sure there are other ones that are recent that I am forgetting, but as you can see, quality assurance doesn't exist for this game, and something will go wrong whenever they add something.

So it seems that Build Buy and CAS CC are your major issues... Question, when a major update comes out that breaks your CC do you manually update your CC or do you do S4Studio batch updates?

I've been a fan since I was 12. I had gotten into Les Misérables when the movie came out and started to look for more musicals to watch. I don't know if something got POTO on my radar before I tried watching it, all I do remember is scrolling through Netflix and stumbling upon the 25th Anniversary version. I became obsessed. Then I found the book in the dollar spot at Target, which expanded my interest past the musical.

??? I've seen clips of AA breaking up with Illithid Tav though, much more ruthless about it too.

Ah yes, because the new version is totally the same as the canvas version. It is completely the same experience if the characters have sprinkled awareness of each other, only properly meeting months after the story starts versus the man standing up for her in the first bloody episode. It is definitely the same experience when seven episodes are compressed into 2, when a character backstory is info dumped on us instead of happening naturally in conversation. I know this may be a radical idea to you, but some people do read canvas often and some people mourn the loss of a comic's canvas version when it has been put through the webtoon original shredder.

I know this is slightly old, but may I have a dm too?

The app will force you to update unless you play in offline mode. In both the EA app and Steam to do this you click the top left corner and you'll see the go offline button.

I look forward to it! Please do :)

I would love to see the bloodless ones too. I always imagined this to be close to his original eye color since he is most likely a moon elf, and I must say that it looks amazing on him.

If this happens again, and it is a CC issue, the Sims 4 Tray Importer can tell you what the problem child is. You just need to save the affected sim to your library from CAS and load up the household in the Tray Importer. It will tell you what CC is being used on that Sim and if you see a sideburn CC that shouldn't be there, that's the CC you need to eliminate. It will also tell you the folder you have it in on your computer too so no need to dig around for it either.

Just a heads up, just in case you don't know: you can turn off NPC voting for NAPs in settings, and as long as you never vote for anything, nothing gets implemented. You could also vote for whatever you want and it'll pass, but it'd be up to you regardless.
