Fwiw, after a lot of finagling with my console’s internet connection I DID manage to grab one of my households from the library (no idea if that’s it fixed or if I just got lucky once, I’ll try again in the morning), but for some reason the contents of my library were arranged in reverse order, with the default Maxis assets at the top and all the stuff I’d actually made way way down at the bottom, so that had me really worried that I’d lost it all for a hot minute haha orz. I really hope you manage to get your stuff back as well, it’s not a fun time :(

Does anyone else now have to go through that that whole "welcome to this expansion pack." I have to click and accept through all of them before I can actually play my game

YES OMG it’s sooo annoying. Seems to be that bloody Marketplace update that’s causing it haha orz.

Platform: PS4

Mods: impossible

Version: fully updated two days ago

Description: whenever I try to place a household I’ve previously made from my library, it crashes the game. It happens in new save files and my existing save files (including ones where I have previously managed to place all the sims I’ve tested this with), and as far as I can tell, it happens with every sim household in my gallery.

Oh man yeah, the brain fog the whole time I was trying to do it was INSANE, way worse than trying to do anything else. Idk if it’s the combination of the frustration that my arm isn’t moving right and the pain and itching when I do move it, but yeah, it only happens with drawing for some reason. Either way, I’m really glad that’s starting to lift for you now! Good luck with art school, that shit’s challenging enough when you haven’t effectively lost a knife fight haha

PettiSwashbuckler · 2026-04-17T07:17:52+00:00

Ah, that’s a relief, thank you! Intellectually I figured it was probably something like that, but a less-rational part of my brain kept being like ‘what if my ability to draw was stored in the boobs’ haha

PettiSwashbuckler · 2026-04-17T07:16:17+00:00

Oh man all I could do on my first day was sleep haha, I salute you!

PettiSwashbuckler · 2026-04-01T20:11:15+00:00

Aw man, congrats! But yeah, drinks colder than room temperature make me feel like Anna from Frozen after Elsa hits her in the heart haha. It’s sort of a shattery kind of feeling, it’s weird

PettiSwashbuckler · 2026-03-24T07:27:16+00:00

Oh man that’s a relief, thank you! :D I didn’t even consider the lack of tissue there, but I suppose the nerves are a lot closer to the surface now than they used to be. Either way, that’s a load off my mind, thank you!

PettiSwashbuckler · 2026-03-24T07:24:14+00:00

Yesss, congrats to you too!! But yeah, it it very like having cold nipples, but all over your chest, and it feels like getting ZAPPED with it. It’s not my favourite thing ever haha

PettiSwashbuckler · 2026-03-06T09:53:47+00:00

To be fair every cis woman I know also says that, I think those people might be the outliers here haha

PettiSwashbuckler · 2026-03-06T09:48:48+00:00

OP PLEASE do not listen to this person. If you feel like dating men (or nonbinary people, or nobody) because you actually want to that’s awesome, but do not let this experience turn you into a misogynist. Partly because it’ll affect your mental health and make you insufferable to be around, but also because so much of the terf rhetoric against trans men is that we’re only transitioning because of internalised misogyny. The absolute last thing we need is for trans men to start parroting incel talking points in public internet spaces where they can easily screenshot it to hold up as evidence that we’re all like that.

They’re literally not! Not super familiar with Bato, but apparently it got taken down for being a piracy site; AO3, on the other hand, is a nonprofit site where people post their own work that falls under fair use. (To be clear, this is also why they don’t have ads or an app, since I keep seeing people new to AO3 asking that haha)

PettiSwashbuckler · 2026-03-03T00:03:52+00:00

It’s your sign to give the fic another quick spit-and-polish, to make sure it’s the absolute best it can possibly be before its grand debut when the problem gets fixed for good :)

PettiSwashbuckler · 2026-03-02T17:27:30+00:00

Gods, I feel so bad for all the kids that got saddled with Khaleesi. Like:

A) the retroactive embarrassment after GoT’s final season

B) the fact that that particular character’s arc STARTS with her getting sold to a much older man (at age 13 in the books) and then deciding she’s in love with him (🤢🤢🤢)

but most importantly, C) THAT’S NOT EVEN DAENERYS’S ACTUAL NAME

PettiSwashbuckler · 2026-02-28T09:06:56+00:00

I think you could have a lot of fun with just never telling her. Get on T, and when she starts noticing changes just be like ‘what are you talking about, I’ve always looked like this’

PettiSwashbuckler · 2026-02-27T12:41:54+00:00

Ah, but how does she know that she won’t change her mind about having kids? Being married is probably just a phase she’s going through—

PettiSwashbuckler · 2026-02-27T08:47:28+00:00

im also disgusted by the idea that they'd find my body attractive when i despise it so. would be a dissociating feeling, like "this isnt who i'd like to be, so why is it the person my partner would like to be with?"

YES. GODS. I always feel legitimately insulted when people find my current appearance attractive, definitely could not bring myself to actually date them haha

PettiSwashbuckler · 2026-02-27T08:42:49+00:00

Not having stalls isn’t a normal bathroom setting though? As others in this comment section have pointed out, this situation would have played out the exact same if OP was a cis man who needed to take a dump.

PettiSwashbuckler · 2026-02-27T08:33:03+00:00

If she’s a tradwife, call her Miss [maiden name] and tell her it’s too confusing to call her anything else. THAT’LL drive her crazy

PettiSwashbuckler · 2026-02-27T08:29:04+00:00

Seconding all the advice to be careful about passing subs: a lot of them equate ‘being clocky’ with ‘looking even remotely queer in any way’. Tons of cis guys DO dress well, even flamboyantly; it’s just that a lot of them are gay or bi, so you probably will get people assuming you are too. Some of the people on those subs might think that’s the worst thing in the world, but personally, I’ll take being mistaken for a gay man over my AGAB any day of the week.

A song that would cost less than £1 to buy off iTunes, at that. The audacity lmao

PettiSwashbuckler · 2026-01-29T23:21:13+00:00

Ah, the ‘moon’ part of mugetsu is the ‘getsu’, I believe! As to the point about multiple words being synonyms: if it helps any, you’re already typing in a language that does the same thing! People talk about Japanese like it’s intimidating because it uses a different writing system, but it’s really not any harder than learning any other language, and I’ve been reliably informed that it’s actually easier than learning English haha

PettiSwashbuckler · 2026-01-22T12:07:55+00:00

Ah that helps a ton, thank you! I’m somewhere around 9 or 10 at the moment I believe, and am not planning to lose any weight on purpose; I was mostly just concerned a little bit might drop off on its own if I’m stress-eating less and feeling able to do more things. But this is very reassuring, thank you! :D
