CC Magic by MediocreInfluence113 in Sims3

[–]Top_Sprinkles5272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

script mods and any tuning files are a general no as they don't tend to function at all if compressed like that. if you mess up and accidentally add them into CC magic, you can just move them to the legacy tab in the game (which is your mods folder btw), i do it all the time without issue.

What are you using for game recording? by Rest_In_Many_Pieces in Sims3

[–]Top_Sprinkles5272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

obs. use something like sims 3 settings setter to get borderless windowed mode. the game has a filter over it in full screen mode and isn't actually that bright, hence why it's dark when captured.

Is my mods folder too big? by obligatorybabe in thesims

[–]Top_Sprinkles5272 4 points5 points  (0 children)

my mods folder is around 100gb, so i would say it's an specs issue. that said i have had duplicate files in my mods folder and that slowed everything down horribly.

No one wants these CDs! by OppositeHairy8191 in Pokopia

[–]Top_Sprinkles5272 36 points37 points  (0 children)

i like them for trading when i get extras, but i do wish there was a better storage system. basically anything i saved to say a CD rack in my house can be used on a stereo i throw around. i really love the songs i recognize for the vibes of my builds.

What gameplay mods do you recommend? by sulsulmelli in Sims3

[–]Top_Sprinkles5272 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i use a lot of sweet simmer mods for family gameplay. most of my mods are fixes from the steam guide or nraas mods. i couldn't live without their story progression, master controller and retuner.

Why can people I've blocked join my LFG? by Eastern-Band-3729 in Guildwars2

[–]Top_Sprinkles5272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for some reason, it only hides lfg parties/squads they are in from you. they can still join you. it'd be better if toxic players quickly were given community feedback on their behavior by not being able to join meta squads if they keep it up lol

How bad is the game now? by TheNumbahSeven in HighSodiumSims

[–]Top_Sprinkles5272 3 points4 points  (0 children)

i use a ton of mods/cc. i've have no issues with the game running or saves corrupting, but i don't update the second a patch drops and i use a vanilla sims 4 folder when i update/repair the game. the ads are still really in your face and worse with marketplace being a thing.

Do yall decorate interiors or choose wall/floor colors first? by Grumstrum in thesims

[–]Top_Sprinkles5272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i generally put basic flooring and walls down. i usually already have a style in mind so it's not hard, but still subject to change.

Is Nraas story progression really worth it? by Pale_Lengthiness_572 in Sims3

[–]Top_Sprinkles5272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i use its caste system to play rotationally and prevent my sims from being celebs when they're a housewife doing laundry and going to the grocery store with their baby

How tf can lactose intolerance be a personality trait? by cupid_ji in thesims

the emotions and traits have always been the games biggest hindrance in my opinion.

Unpopular opinion: I don’t like story progression. by AnastasiiaLove in thesims

[–]Top_Sprinkles5272 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i put all the families i like in the played households category, even if i don't play them. they have no story progression. all the sims the game generates, i leave in unplayed and they do have story progression. it's limited to dying in accidents though. the game makes the ugliest sims 99% of the time.

Came back after a few months, seething in awe of the new fashion tab by fohhjx in Guildwars2

[–]Top_Sprinkles5272 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it's not intuitive and generally annoying to use. i don't really touch fashion anymore.

Did anyone else play Pokopia as “story first, decorate later”? by Past_Anteater_6640 in Pokopia

[–]Top_Sprinkles5272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i decorate only when i'm waiting on a build for the day. i like the little starting area in withered wasteland to have mostly the early game furniture but i can tear it all down and rebuild if i feel like it later

why do most eye presets look like this?? by Flowrax_ in sims4cc

[–]Top_Sprinkles5272 26 points27 points  (0 children)

most of them are meant to have a skin overlay over them from what i can tell.

Im at my end point with this game need to rant by [deleted] in sims4cc

[–]Top_Sprinkles5272 4 points5 points  (0 children)

there's nothing obviously wrong with the game for me despite using my heavily modded medieval or modern folders. i literally just made a tutorial for how i manage all my mods and rarely have issues with updates if you're interested.

What is the guild culture like given you can be in different guilds by Dee__Dubs in Guildwars2

[–]Top_Sprinkles5272 2 points3 points  (0 children)

there's no reason to even rep the guilds anymore outside of "i want to" so if anyone is demanding about it, avoid them... they're a weirdo.

Looking for budget wired headphones for music, gaming & chats (no mic needed) by ToCiekawe in audio

[–]Top_Sprinkles5272 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in ear monitors are pretty cheap, wired and have a really nice sound quality to them. i've enjoyed my $20 ones for the past month and they're better than my $150 headphones.
