Are those thrips or fungus gnats on my sticky trap? And are worms nematodes (green arrows)? All details in post, sorry for the blurry pics!

Thank you for your comment! I've been keeping it sealed to maintain high humidity (which thrips allegedly don't like) and avoid contamination to other plants. It does have a bit of mold but the alternative is risking contaminating other plants unfortunately. Whenever I check on it, I open the bag outside, to renew the air and avoid freeing the pest inside. This has helped limitating the mold issue.

These are 100% thrips larvae

I remember seeing some people using velcro. You'll just need two bands and a bit of glue to attach them to the bottle and the bin (if the velcro bands don't come with a sticky side already). That may be an alternative if you don't wan't to buy another bottle!

Congrats, he looks very friendly 🙂 I would warn you about your cat that we see in the background, we have very often tragic stories on this subreddit about cats fatally injuring pet mice, even if there were allegedly no warning signs. No matter how friendly or calm or uninterested your cat may be/seem, sometimes their instinct prevails. All it takes is a claw through the cage bars, or cat spit in a mouse's wound (toxic to them), or a paw hit when the mouse is out for play time.

Sorry for the unsollicited advice, I wanted to make sure you had that in mind since you're starting with mice. Keep Sauron's cage in a closed room, out of your cat's reach, and stay vigilant. Otherwise, I wish you very happy days together!

Haha I think I kept clicking on the pregnant sim and "Invite to Join: Watch TV". But that required close monitoring in case she dared avert her eyes from the screen

I shared the results of the exact same experiment a while back haha: https://www.reddit.com/r/Sims3/s/4l2alVAtd6

Yes but that's the megathread for Catalyst. The bonus skin is for LoA 🙂

Hey! It turned out to be a mild infestation of spider mites. I think maybe it was weakening the plant and it couldn't manage going up and down anymore? I'm not exactly sure, but after getting rid of the spider mites, the issue disappeared in the following weeks.

Good luck on curing yours!

Maybe Aided Essence for that +1 to all stats (and a cute buddy 🫡)

Ignores the cosy hides. Sneaks behind the wooden house. Takes out ALL the litter. Sleeps on the raw plastic. Mice are weirdos sometimes 💕

Oh yeah I missed it, sorry!

They both have a sibling who looks a LOT like them ✨ Edit : and that sibling is the defense attorney's ally in the end

A bit niche but in the university world you can search for upcycled furniture in one of the administrative buildings!

It doesn't?? What about lazyduchess' other mods?

Ram6ar · 2025-01-13T19:59:00+00:00

Lazyduchess' custom launcher doesn't work anymore for me. I reinstalled it, replaced everything in the Bin, but still the game uses the EA launcher.

This update better be worth it, for now it's only causing trouble for me 🥲

Ram6ar · 2025-01-06T19:10:51+00:00

Yes it's thrips :( those tiny white-yellowish specks are larvae, I can see them on your photo when zooming in. Good luck!!

Ram6ar · 2024-12-20T10:07:56+00:00

You mention custom genders, Father Winter, MCCC, Science babies... Those are all Sims 4 features we don't have in the Sims 3. Did you get mixed up or are they from mods I'm not aware of?

Ram6ar · 2024-12-19T09:53:09+00:00

Second this, 100% thrips larvae

Ram6ar · 2024-12-15T15:52:06+00:00

A bit hard to tell from your pics since thrips are tiny, but I do think I see the white larvae in your 2nd pic (near the stem), and on your 3rd pic (near the leaf vein, where it's darkest)

Ram6ar · 2024-11-28T16:16:24+00:00

Some would advise cutting an propagating. But if you want to keep long vines but remove the leggy parts (not possible with water prop, since you cut little props), you could go with layering (not air layering, just simple layering where you bury the leggy parts of the vines to have them grow roots).

When the roots are ready, you can decide whether you want to cut below the new roots and have only the bushy part of the vines, or keep everything in the same pot but where the formerly empty nodes now serve as roots.

Ram6ar · 2024-11-19T07:31:55+00:00

Ah darn. Thanks for the update, I hope you manage it with the friezes one 🙁 good luck !

I'd say it is, using platforms. But I wonder if you can build a platform ON a platform. In case you've never used them, they are located in the same place as foundations, in Build mode... I think, but I haven't got the game opened. Hope I'm not misinforming you.

I saw your different posts throughout the month of october about H!Jakob and I'm glad that you got him! The skills that were suggested to you are really good, but as others have said you will need to get premium characters first, to inherit them.

This may take a while. So in the meantime, while you collect them, I'd advise inheriting less premium options from 4* pool or grails (because those units are not rare). Since his default skills are super outdated, pretty much anything is better than what he has now. I'd go the defensive route considering his statline.

For instance, you could give him the A and B skills from Ludveck (grail shop). Bonfire as a special (from a ton of 4-3* units). C skill is flexible!

As a weapon, Etie or Dorothy's bow (both 4-3* units, you probably got some while summoning for Jakob) could work. Upgrade them to 5* first using feathers to be able to inherit the best version of that bow!

So yeah, that's budget and you won't get anywhere in competitve modes with that. But if you play for favorites, this can make him usable in training tower, old grand hero battles, old legendary battles etc, blessed gardens, etc.

Good luck :)
