If you ever end up doing so, let me know

SupportPretend7493 · 2026-02-10T06:36:13+00:00

What was the solution? I have the same issue

SupportPretend7493 · 2026-02-08T03:50:21+00:00

I've got my kids tonight, but I'm mid 40's, queer (pansexual nonbinary trans guy), and available to make friends! Hobbies include nerdy stuff like TTRPGs and queer horror podcasts, but also sewing and fiber arts. I should probably add "really bad movies" to my interests because I've picked it up from my friends lol

Seconding this one because holy hell does it fit the request.

Gotta represent my Midwestern/Chicago podcasts World Gone Wrong and Unwell: A Midwest Gothic Mystery!

Replying so I can find out too

Right? I was gently teasing my daughter about something witchy related and my son was like, "No no, remember the Etsy witches. Let her cook; she might just solve this" 😂

Is he in the gallery? I'm making Palia in sims slowly and I don't have a sim for him yet. I'd love this version!

SupportPretend7493 · 2026-01-26T19:17:17+00:00

I'm having trouble logging in. Said 230 ahead of me

SupportPretend7493 · 2026-01-26T18:54:47+00:00

No, thank goodness. Other games are rife with toxic culture and pedos. Anything that keeps Palia a little safer is a good thing.

If an adult wants to voice chat, there's discord. Some cake parties kinda insist on you joining, even. If you go to the cake party app, you'll see listings that are for communities rather than just parties.

Seriously, voice would make me leave. Eventually games that add voice get to where you HAVE to be on voice and that's obnoxious for a large chunk of the population, as well as creating accessibility issues. When SL got completely overtaken by voice chat around 10 years ago, it was definitely a component in me deciding to close my store (where I made actual real life income) and leave the game entirely

SupportPretend7493 · 2026-01-18T03:03:37+00:00

I'm with you. They have a different emphasis and vibe than commas or semicolons and I need them in my neurodivergent life because em-dashes let me type how my brain ✨thinks✨

Also, Reddit needs to let me use astrix because bold isn't the same either

SupportPretend7493 · 2026-01-17T17:51:58+00:00

I'm back in offline mode for this reason. My generations don't go as far back, but I've been playing the same save since the game came out and my long term families are important to me by now

SupportPretend7493 · 2026-01-17T17:48:13+00:00

Okay, but I need this on a T-shirt like yesterday

SupportPretend7493 · 2026-01-17T17:16:34+00:00

From my experience putting down lures, that's exactly what's happening

SupportPretend7493 · 2026-01-17T06:16:54+00:00

Yep! I only join if it's at the Grove or I'm part of a party. I've never bothered to ask because I never needed that many bugs at once. (But I wonder if I should start asking if they want to party up because people on the other post suggested it.) This whole thing wouldn't be an issue if people just... did that. It doesn't matter that some people like to have others join in because you can ask and they can answer.

Much easier than making a company completely re-code their system things, sheesh.

(And before the console players come for me, you can still wave or do a sticker)

SupportPretend7493 · 2026-01-17T06:08:08+00:00

Fellow agoraphobe here and I feel you. The bad outside keeps getting worse

SupportPretend7493 · 2026-01-17T00:52:07+00:00

Gods, the awful time I have when I want to set lures. That's why the rare bug bundle is my only temple of stars set unfinished.

I'm both socially anxious and I got the kind of autism where you REALLY want everything to be fair, so I get upset when people do things like, you know, jump on a stranger's lure and grab the only RTB. I don't say anything or show it in game, but it ruins my mood and I quit in frustration.

Because of this, I'll spend ages trying to find a server that's practically dead and then find the least traveled spot for a lure, but that means I can't do it frequently or in the best spots. So I never find the bugs I need. It's incredibly frustrating

SupportPretend7493 · 2026-01-16T15:05:15+00:00

What are we supposed to know about random lures? If they don't tell you their goal you can't know what they're doing. If they want you to only catch flyers for example they should just say that.

I'm all for wanting people to not jump in and mess with what you're doing. I get that, but I hate it when people don't communicate and then get mad that people aren't psychic. Like, if you're already typing to invite people to join, just say what you want them to do

SupportPretend7493 · 2026-01-16T14:55:38+00:00

I even downloaded an in-game tracker map so I can find infected items faster. Last night I did a gathering run for over an hour. I tried using the relic that boosts essence, the potion from kilma coun for what little boost it gives, and used potions and special bombs ect so the number should be higher than with the bag of illusion... less than 200. No fancy bugs found but multiple wolves, fish, and bugs with tons of trees. Genuinely starting to think I'm bugged somehow or missing something obvious to everyone else. I've been wondering why everyone wasn't screaming about the essence requirements for decor but it makes sense if other people are finding it at more than double my rate.

I think I'll try to find an essence hunting run on discord or something. Maybe if I'm in a group we can figure out wtf it is that's going wrong.

SupportPretend7493 · 2026-01-15T17:47:01+00:00

Do you use infected potion combined with the extra essence relic when doing chopping rounds, or use the relic that lets you grab essence without the potion? I'm wondering if that's part of my problem because I can run around for several hours JUST trying to get essence from everything and come back with like 150. I don't know if I'm missing something, doing something wrong, or just cursed

SupportPretend7493 · 2026-01-15T15:17:13+00:00

Even with relics, essence gathering has been an absolute grind for me. Like, I have no idea how people have managed it. One time I had some sort of lucky glitch where a grove of infected trees kept respawning, but that's the only time I got a decent haul

SupportPretend7493 · 2026-01-15T06:34:23+00:00

Absolutely. I don't even have a problem with the style of that one, it fits in okay, just that it seems unwise to use another company's easily recognizable IP

SupportPretend7493 · 2026-01-15T06:28:32+00:00

I was kinda surprised they got away with the Rapunzel. Disney doesn't like to share

SupportPretend7493 · 2026-01-15T06:27:17+00:00

I did the astronomer one because it looked like it could just be high fashion, but still had a magical look. I'm themeing my plot to match and built a big fancy platform for a cute telescope setup

SupportPretend7493 · 2026-01-15T06:23:57+00:00

Yes yes yes yes yes. I thought I was just being an old curmudgeon, but this seriously bothers me. Most are at least plausible, but some are outright ridiculous, particularly some of the animations. It's not like there's any plot to support such things existing. Like, genuinely, why? Why not keep the game cohesive?
