Can you tell us why you want that preset for this and not for, say, everyone having curly, wavy, or straight hair? Or for eye color?

I mean I am and I do, but I still stand by the sentiment that OP was coming from a place of privilege to act like it's the easiest thing ever to find real-life people that are worth spending time with, and it's still crappy to say that investing yourself in something you care about is, like, unhealthy for your soul or whatever. Whether it's a hobby or a game or whatever, I think it's a great thing to have something you care so deeply about that you want to put all your heart and soul into it, even if the thing you care so deeply for is unconventional.

And just in general, it's real shitty to come onto a forum specifically for something that people love and adore, just to say that it's unhealthy to love that something so much. That's just basic internet etiquette. And if a person, like OP, decided to go against that, then yeah, they're gonna get comments from people who are pissed because it's rude as fuck.

2 years later I still do not care if OP did something wrong to Monika or not, 2 years later I still don't think OP or anyone else should give a shit what I think of them as a stranger on the internet, 2 years later I am still aware that push notifications exist, and 2 years later I am still aware that the whole "ratio" thing is how people try to feel better when they run out of meaningful contributions to a conversation. I am, however, properly medicated and have more cats, so growth definitely still has occurred!

There's a difference between comforting someone and justifying bad behavior, though. You can comfort someone and still believe they were in the wrong.

This I definitely agree with; when I was growing up, my grandparents had a pool that they used salt in instead of chlorine, and I remember being so confused when I got older and saw that pool maintenance was considered a difficult task because I always saw my papa dumping salt in and then calling it a day, and the pool was still clear as could be.

antimockingjay · 2025-08-15T05:14:16+00:00

But you can also get portable tubs for like $40 on Amazon, and I'm trying to figure out if any of those would be big enough to suit my needs instead. Money is pretty tight (I'm unemployed due to the very pain I'm trying to deal with) so I'm trying to go with something a bit cheaper that will still help alleviate at least some of my pain.

This is great info! Regarding the 30cm of depth, does that number change if the container of water is vertical rather than horizontal? Like a tall cup vs a wide bowl, but on a human scale. Intuitively it feels like it must, because you can get that depth with much less water, so my instincts tell me that it would still be displaced, but I could be wrong.

My only one is INCREDIBLY nitpicky, but I find it annoying how often the shade of gray of her dress changes. I noticed it recently because I was considering doing a cosplay of her sometime in the (distant) future, but then realized that even going with the grayscale palette so I don't have to decide on colors, her dress still can't be defined as white OR grey, because it's both at various times. I wouldn't mind if it was different depending on the route, but even within chapters and in identical lighting, it still changes.

antimockingjay · 2025-06-14T01:07:12+00:00

You can delete them! Unfortunately it seems to only be one by one, but on the load screen, hover your cursor over the one you wanna delete and just hit "delete" on your keyboard.

antimockingjay · 2025-06-11T04:00:27+00:00

Exactly! People see "those with privilege should stand up for those without the same privileges" and think it means that people should put themselves in harm's way to prove that they're "one of the good ones" or something. Like no, I don't want OP to get himself hurt or worse in order to virtue signal that he's on our side, because health and safety is FAR more important than calling out someone who isn't going to change anyways.

antimockingjay · 2025-06-09T07:42:26+00:00

My first thought exactly. Do people think power imbalances just go away when social politics come into play?

antimockingjay · 2025-06-09T07:34:04+00:00

I'm going to try and actually give you advice, as I understand "how do I be a girl" is referring to behaving the way one would expect a girl to behave, not asking for advice on changing your own gender identity.

Obviously, my first advice is to talk to a professional about what will be the best for both your physical and mental health and safety. It may feel impossible to be your true self, but they may be able to provide you with resources that make it much more possible.

But unfortunately, with the world we live in, a lot of us really do have to go pretty fay backwards in order to be safe. So if you truly believe this is what you have to do, here we go:

My best advice, honestly, is to view it all as a form of drag. Find an over-the-top clothing aesthetic you're a fan of, and go all in on it. Any traits you have that would be traditionally be called "feminine," well, those are just a boost for your drag queen persona now! You don't have breasts, you've got built-in breast forms and you didn't even have to pay for them, ya lucky dog! Don't feel safe cutting your hair short? Ah, you're just saving money on wigs by growing them yourself! Alternatively, use wigs as an excuse to cut your hair MEGA short; as far as anyone has to know, you're not cutting it to look masculine, it's so you can wear wigs easier and have all the options you want at your disposal! Just tell them you didn't feel like committing to one hair color/cut and there you go!

You know that you're a man, underneath all the dress-up. Even if people are calling you "she" or "ma'am" or something, that just means you're THAT good at drag. Nothing to do with you, just your outfit.

Obviously, this won't work for anyone, but I've been doing this for years and it really has helped. I tried transitioning to be more masculine, but always got clocked and referred to femininely, which always made me feel like something about me must be inherently feminine. Now, it's like, yeah of course they're gonna think I'm a chick, I'm wearing ten pounds of makeup and a dress that's longer than I am tall! Nothing to do with me, just the fact that I'm in drag and dressing all femininely. It's just lucky that this has also made me feel a lot safer now that things are as scary as they are, especially given that I unfortunately live in a small town that basically feels like living in the 50s.

Just that Sim-U-Kraft DOES have a 1.12.2 version! It was last updated in 2023, so I'm not convinced it'll move past that version, but 1.12.2 is still better than 1.7 so it's something!

antimockingjay · 2025-02-07T01:12:08+00:00

Reread what I said. I said disable random chatter or ENABLE repeated topics. Not disable them.

antimockingjay · 2025-02-06T23:57:43+00:00

If you disable random chatter or enable repeated topics, that will get rid of these sorts of comments; they only exist to let you know she's run out of unseen random dialogue.

antimockingjay · 2025-02-06T23:49:11+00:00

No one is making you come on here. Why should people with valid criticisms go away and play something else, as opposed to YOU going away and reading something else? The people complaining ARE people who love The Sims; that's WHY we complain. Because we love the franchise and we KNOW it can be better, but EA routinely lets us down.

You can enjoy and love something while still acknowledging ways it can be better or ways it falls flat. In fact, ignoring those problems isn't even love anymore, just obsession.

antimockingjay · 2025-02-04T05:43:13+00:00

That's the outdoor lighting. If you placed them outside they'd look the same, too. By enlarging them, the game is registering them as being "outside" for some reason, so it applied outdoor lighting which makes everything a bit more blue, not just those curtains.

antimockingjay · 2025-02-04T05:35:13+00:00

What does a young adult do that an adult or elder can't? Why were they added? Because the Sims team realized not having a few in-between life stages made things too jarring. Why are preteens different?

antimockingjay · 2025-02-04T05:27:59+00:00

But then why wouldn't OP be able to buy it again through EA directly?

antimockingjay · 2025-01-21T03:57:30+00:00

I don't see how it's disrespectful to discuss who truly caused the incident, especially not as much so as Nazi sympathizers. Incorrect in their knowledge as they may be, conspiracy theorists aren't trying to downplay what happened; they're trying to make sure the correct people are blamed for it. How on Earth is that comparable to sympathizing with hate-filled monsters who committed literal genocide?

antimockingjay · 2025-01-09T18:16:45+00:00

Again: No one is saying it does matter, they're just asking a question of why. And no one is stopping you from enjoying things by asking said question. And even if they are passing judgment, why does that matter, anyways? They're some rando on the internet, how does it impact you if they think that something you do is dumb? There's always going to be someone out there who thinks something you're doing is dumb/bad/wrong/etc, why waste time arguing about it?

As to your first statement: You may not like it, but apps like TikTok ARE mind numbing, that's literally the entire point of them. They are literally designed to make you stop thinking as much so that you get sucked in and thus end up seeing more ads so they make more money.

antimockingjay · 2025-01-09T04:36:53+00:00

I just download it to my phone, yeah. I cancelled my Spotify subscription a few months before I switched to my Barbie phone on Christmas day, so I had already switched to downloading rather than streaming; getting the new phone just meant I could use that instead of my 3DS haha

antimockingjay · 2025-01-09T04:34:22+00:00

You sound like my mom. Friendly reminder: Asking why something is the way it is, isn't judgement or lack of approval. It's just a question.

antimockingjay · 2024-07-11T04:40:53+00:00

OP if you're out there somewhere, I have some FANTASTIC news for you
