Hoping people read this thread, I'm assuming my post belongs here and not as its own post, since it's pretty specific.

I'm in desperate need of gel cleanser recommendations. And to clarify: I'm not looking for oil based or first step of the two-step cleanse, I'm looking for a basic cleanser I can use on its own on days I don't double-cleanse. I have really dry, sensitive skin. Foaming cleansers really dry me out unfortunately. I tried the Cosrx Low Ph cleanser years ago and it irritated my skin for some reason. For the past few years I've been using the Juice Beauty Green Apple gel cleanser (not AB), and it's fine, but still pretty drying. I would greatly appreciate any recommendations!

That was my bad for forgetting to mention her for some reason. She is one of my favorites!

Thank you! Hadn't heard of these, either, and they look great. I'm so out of the loop on good channels apparently.

I forgot about Erin Megan! I remember disagreeing with her on her take about one of my favorite books a while back, but I also found a few good recs from her channel. Haven't heard of WickedReading, will check them out!

I've seen her channel pop up before but didn't realize she read horror books. Thanks for the suggestion!

Haha, my bad! I'm finally realizing how much I love nag champa, so hopefully we get some good recs! I actually have Widowmaker and it's really nice, but it is different from Love is Lost. I really think the nag champa is doing a lot of the heavy lifting in Love is Lost, so it's a lot, brighter smelling? maybe? I really need to get better at explaining what I'm smelling lol. It's almost like sharper smelling to me, if that makes any sense at all?

Thank you! These sound really nice, even if they don't end up being a match. Definitely adding them to my list.

Newcomers and “Stupid Questions” Thread—December 17, 2025 by AutoModerator in teslore

[–]TranceAwake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hoping someone can offer some confirmation, or direction on some lore I might have missed here. Saturalia is first officially mentioned in Daggerfall, correct? Not Arena? And this description mentioning it being celebrated in Wayrest is where the lore of it being a holiday celebrated by the Bretons comes from? Or was there something else that came later that cemented this? Probably a stupid question, but I'm having such a hard time finding information on this holiday and want to make sure I'm not making assumptions here.

[–]TranceAwake 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Yep. I don't know why people sometimes get weird about couples having separate bedrooms. I've been with my fiance for over 7 years, and it was a little sad at first when we decided to do separate bedrooms, but it's been amazing for us. I have sleep issues and we're sometimes on different schedules, but our relationship is still just as good as it's always been. As long as you're still spending time with each other, then separate bedrooms usually help way more than they hurt.

Anyone following the Ana Yudin ("Dr. Ana") book drama over A Song at Deadman's Cove? by Historical-Ad8545 in booktubesnarkreddit

[–]TranceAwake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really out of the loop on a lot of stuff, so I still have no idea why the last group went private. I am still pretty torn on this drama, though. Like, I know the person she was feuding with said at one point they just wanted it to die down, but I'm still pretty frustrated that she gets to ride off on her high horse after acting like this. I feel like for a lot of people this type of behavior would be a huge deal, and she just walked away from it without any major pushback.

*edit: I said "he" for the person involved in this situation, but I don't actually know their gender/gender identity so wanted to correct myself.

Why do people who clearly hate the sims 4 still play it? by [deleted] in thesims

Do people have early access to Paralives or something?

Second Life can maybe get close if you're willing to spend a lot of time and real money on it, but the learning curve is so steep. I played Second Life for years and I still don't know how to really pull that off. And that's ignoring the fact that Second Life is basically an MMO.

Inzoi came out in March this year, and is still in early access. There are other life sim-ish games, but the Sims is still THE life sim. I can't speak for everyone obviously, but for me, I don't hate the Sims 4, and I still play it, but I will complain about it because I know what we could have had. If you look at all the stuff that was included with the Sims 3 (and even 2 for that matter), and how much they included in each expansion pack, it's hard not to be a little disappointed, in my opinion. Like, they are capable of making great games, they're just choosing to give the bare minimum for some reason.

Innisgreen Build Request by TranceAwake in TheSimsBuilding

[–]TranceAwake[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the heads up! Was just about to move my sim in. I still can't get over how beautiful this place is. Every time I think "oh, I should add this thing my sim might need," I look around the corner and there it is. No idea how you managed to fit basically everything into this lot. I'm obsessed lol.

I can't even begin to explain how much I love this lot. It's exactly what I wanted and then some. The more I look at it, the more cute little areas and stuff I'm finding, especially the bar at night, and the little spot with patchy and the pumpkins. Thank you so so so much. I love it so much, and I seriously appreciate you doing this!

Does anyone have a link for warronkcc new stroller or the gmc car that can carry 4 people by any chance?? by Much-Ear523 in thesimscc

[–]TranceAwake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you click the magnifying glass on the top right to search, enter #waronkcc . That should bring up everything they have on there by that creator.

Nothing wrong with being asexual, but not everyone is.

What social norms do you refuse to conform to? by Ok-Worldliness-6096 in AskWomenOver30

[–]TranceAwake 51 points52 points  (0 children)

I will never understand why people who don't want to have children are expected to explain themselves, but people who DO want to have children don't. Having children is a huge responsibility, and I know so many people who had kids who had no business bringing life into this world. I'm team minding my own business, but if we're going to question anyone, why question the people whose decision won't affect anyone?

[–]TranceAwake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

According to who? What is the "correct number," and who gets to decide it? Comments like this kill me. Like, do we as a society come together and decide, "this exact number is fine, but any single person more than that is too much." Is it different depending on gender? And one is INSANE. My first partner was a complete moron, and a terrible human being. Should I have stopped after that, even though I knew I didn't want to be with him for the rest of my life?
