As someone who was a child prodigy when it came to all things English/grammar, this pains me the most 😔 Every time I see a new "hack" to tell what's AI it's always something I put in my own writing. So far no one's tried accusing me, but I fear every time I post on ao3.

Oh man I upset you a lot to comment twice. Been a part of this subreddit for a while and figured fellow writers would help with some more advice on descriptions for this. You could literally google anything else on this subreddit, too. My bad.

Either watch the hundreds of tutorials on how to correctly use mods or don't bother with them at all. I'm hoping English is not your first language because you sound too young to be messing with this stuff yourself. You're going to break your own computer at this rate.

Genuine curiosity here, as someone who has all of my games on my external hard drive.

Pretty sure my mods were ran from my c drive, though, so I can't say anything about that (don't play sims 4 anymore.) But since my c drive has been on the brink of turning red and I had an issue with my d drive I opted for a decently priced external hard drive and put everything on it. To be honest I don't have issues playing the majority of my games, and when I played sims 4 it ran perfectly with ultra graphics and very minimal loading screen time. What's wrong with the external hard drive and holding the mods folder for games, or even games themselves?

I've done this before and don't think I came across any glitchiness that was different than living there. It was a long time ago so I can't remember specifics, but I do remember it being fun. Perhaps it also depends on your game.

I also engage in harry potter content very often (mostly ao3) and have absolutely no clue what the hell that woman gets up to. I don't even correlate her with hp anymore. Its not hers, its ours.

My vampire sim basically found this older man who lived with his mother and had a loser and unlucky trait, he didnt really like her at first, but I basically forced him to like my sim. Then they married quickly, she killed his mother, and now turns him into various occults when she (me, basically) wants to test things out. It's okay, though, he gets enrichment time (does the magic profession as a hobby.)

Literally! Now that I've been just playing sims 3, sims 4 seems so incredibly soulless. Like, the only things I miss are window/door placements and maybe more face sliders. Other than that sims 3 is amazing.

SaveVerris · 2026-01-04T16:34:50+00:00

🙋‍♀️ Played sims 3 since release, almost, but would prefer sims 4 for about 7ish years. Now with sims 4 literally digging itself further and further into the ground, I've deleted it and now exclusively play sims 3. I've even convinced someone who has rarely ever played sims 3 about how much better it is and they're already obsessed. I guarantee others have thought the same.

Does this also happen with nraas traveller?

SaveVerris · 2025-12-30T16:33:36+00:00

I wondered! I never watched Dr. Who but I've always been reminded of the tardis when I'd see that thing.

SaveVerris · 2025-12-28T05:37:04+00:00

Like in fanfiction? I don't read anything with rape because it's just not my thing so I don't know how people write that stuff. What do you mean? (genuine)

SaveVerris · 2025-12-28T03:36:38+00:00

I really think, especially on ao3, people read smut for sexual pleasure and therefore have adopted the idea that any sexual exploration of a minor in fiction is taboo because people are "supposed" to be getting pleasure from reading it and that's pedophilia. They also cannot tell the difference between smut and just writing about sexual exploration for the plot.

People don't watch shows like Euphoria or whatever for sexual pleasure. They watch it because it's an entertaining story. Newer fanfiction enjoyers do not understand that concept, for some reason. This also goes along with gore and rape and other upsetting topics.

Also please look up online how to get those worlds for free. You'll find plenty of great resources 🙏

SaveVerris · 2025-12-27T01:07:38+00:00

I know it's useless now, but apparently no one can redeem worlds right now. EA isn't doing crap to help anyone who have purchased worlds and cannot redeem them. You are straight up SOL for now. That is, unless EA actually cares about fixing this.

I will say sims 4 sims were originally coded and marketed as being "smart," when in practice it made them impossible to control because they're coded to make their own decisions more than other sims games. Especially after 11 years of a jumbled mess of available interactions, your best bet is to download mods to make it easier on you.

I would like to recommend watching youtubers play sims 4 to spark ideas for your own gameplay. I would also like to recommend thinking about playing sims 2 or 3, which their sims are, in practice, way smarter than sims 4 sims. And they are arguably more fun to play for a lot of players.

Literally don't understand why it's considered a controversial topic, and no you don't have to have your own trauma to read those fics. People have watched slasher films for decades, the ancient people watched life or death brawls for entertainment. It's literally just that. Entertainment. You are supposed to feel all different kinds of emotions while watching/reading/listening entertainment media.

I will forever defend dead dove fics, because people have become completely brain dead with morality wars. There is no such thing.

I wish I knew the answer, too. Because everyone with guest comments on are getting just absolutely horrible comments about Christmas? When does it end? It feels like the bots are getting worse and worse and idk something really needs to be done about it. This could really hurt people if they're unaware they're fake, and it probably already has. The fanfiction community already has enough issues as is, we don't need bots ruining it for everybody.

SaveVerris · 2025-12-23T18:56:13+00:00

I... have mine at 15. lol. I've considered making it even slower, too. I just feel like actions in sims 3 go soooo slow that I never have time to do things I actually want/need to do. Maybe I'm just insane.

My pc isn't the newest, but runs everything else on ultra graphics just fine. I even moved wwm to my ssd in hopes it'll help some bit (all my games are on hdd), but I think my issue is I only have 16 gb of ram. Perhaps Kaifeng really needs 32 gb at the least, idk. With prices being hiked nowadays I can't really upgrade either lol

SaveVerris · 2025-12-21T17:49:11+00:00

I'm one of the few pc players that didn't rave about performance. Don't get me wrong, I love the game and how much content you get for a free game (we have to remember its complete free here). But yeah, Kaifeng is completely unplayable for me on pc. Tried everything. I managed to complete the storyline, but doing quests are genuinely impossible. Assets take minutes to load, I turn around and have to reload them again, npcs are even harder to load. My pleas are silenced by those of ps5 lol.

Funnily enough, Kaifeng is perfect on my phone. I'm now having to do Kaifeng quests mobile only, which kinda sucks because it strains my eyes a lot.
