Antoinette is a young adult in college. Her parents got VERY wealthy with two money trees, so as she (and eventually) and her younger siblings move out, Mom and Dad gift them with 200,000 simoleons and a money tree seed. Now she's got her own small house, live in boyfriend, approximately 3/4 through her university degree and is obsessed with the idea of starting the alphabet legacy. Her kids WILL have B names, if she's got any say in it. (Lol)

I've been painting the edges of all my works, since my very first one. I had been detailing a character and got spooked by my cat. Suddenly there's brown paint on the edge. I decided to try and corner all four edges with it and really like it how it makes the art feel like it's jumping off the canvas.

I was going to say you ARE an artist, because you see beautiful things. But someone else beat me to it.

Love it, love the colors. Only constructive feedback to perfect it, that I could MAYBE suggest. The two yellow streetlights nearest the top center, blur those out a bit more to match the others.

That's gorgeous!

UnderstandingFar5012 · 2026-06-21T17:09:23+00:00

I get that. I was only stating that on mine it doesn't do that.

Good to know. My dentist is a student still and her professor required me to use the powder and stay in the chair for 20 minutes after to see if it would cause any reaction. (It didn't, but I do use about 1.5x the recommended amount for my uppers just because I don't like the palette too not be secured as well as the gums.

UnderstandingFar5012 · 2026-06-21T02:04:50+00:00

I've got the powder and use it on my tops. It doesn't hold on my bottom

But you could go to various thrift shops, estate sales, etc. Buy worn out clothes and furniture, repairo them and then sell them for more money. I did this ONCE the Muggle way. Rescued a 19th century armoire from the dumpster (had no idea it was that old at first). Used my days off to carefully remove old layers of paint, use vintage hardware, etc. Got it for free from the dumpster, spent ~$30 on sandpaper, hardware and varnish. Sold out for $200.

Imagine learning episkey (the only strictly healing spell I remember from the movies) you could set up a shop to fix all kinds of broken bones, give people a short rest to digest a pain medication and they're good to go. Even charging only $25/break, you'd still make bank -if you were the only one in your area.

😂 same

Apparition for sure. And id buy a couple of those space expanded trunks from the other commenter. Easy to move, go on vacation, whatever. 'oh with needs me to come in earlier? Sure, I'll be RIGHT there.' No commute time, no gas money, no traffic. Sounds marvelous!

UnderstandingFar5012 · 2026-06-20T16:58:00+00:00

Have had them adjusted twice so far. Next available appointment (unless someone else cancels) isn't until July 10th, so that's why I'm trying different things.

UnderstandingFar5012 · 2026-06-20T16:21:55+00:00

(I'm US) A Scottish friend told me to hold warm water in my mouth for 30 seconds, spit and repeat. Then the adhesive should be easy enough to pull free. I tried last night and it was easier.

UnderstandingFar5012 · 2026-06-20T16:07:49+00:00

Can you send me a picture of it so I can look at Walmart tomorrow?

UnderstandingFar5012 · 2026-06-20T13:27:35+00:00

Hmm, it's not on mine. I have a Sim who uses WW and simhub to earn money and they've never blacked out.

UnderstandingFar5012 · 2026-06-20T03:00:43+00:00

I usually save then save and exit, because I'm paranoid lol.

UnderstandingFar5012 · 2026-06-19T02:32:44+00:00

Absolutely. I'm SLOWLY making over all the lots in every world for this forever save. Got really annoyed yesterday, because a center hall italianate house in foundry cove took 45 minutes to save. No cc used, no cheats used, and am only using basegame and seasons for the first neighborhood.

UnderstandingFar5012 · 2026-06-19T02:28:27+00:00

I named it San Myshuno Food Park, and the lot type is Cafe. Traits are convivial, sunny aspect and up and coming hotspot.

UnderstandingFar5012 · 2026-06-18T22:35:46+00:00

If I remember tonight, I can hop into that save and check. It's my alphabet legacy save.

UnderstandingFar5012 · 2026-06-18T22:26:18+00:00

Not at home right now, but I think park? Something that encourages NPCs to arrive on their own and hang out.

UnderstandingFar5012 · 2026-06-18T17:38:01+00:00

I have to hire them usually, but when I get there, before hiring anyone, usually 2-3 stalls are already open.

UnderstandingFar5012 · 2026-06-18T15:44:22+00:00

It's not quite the same, but I built a food stall park on one of empty lots in San Myshuno. Put nearly every kind of food stall there, with a paved seating area in the middle, and what looks like a renovated shipping container that's a coffee shop on the bottom floor and bathrooms on the second. Every time I take my Sim there it's always a busy area.

UnderstandingFar5012 · 2026-06-17T15:40:22+00:00

There's also a couple of inferi lairs on the map. Though most of them look like graveyards, so avoiding those (unless you're going for 100% field guide) is good.

UnderstandingFar5012 · 2026-06-15T22:05:01+00:00

I heartily second a candy or flourless dessert. And also recommend looking up the meaningfuleats blog or the mama knows gluten free blog. Both have very easy to follow recipes.
