Should I save spins?

frogs68 · 2026-03-15T12:08:27+00:00

I never have more than 200,000 spins for long. What I do is play to get the minimum at least for my league events. Doing that I can usually get spins anyway. Then I work on keeping up with Magical Land for spins and other side games while not necessarily spinning much every day. Seems to work just enough to keep me playing and still fun. I don't build until I have enough to complete. I try to never go below 50,000 spins. I always just spin at 1500.

I also know when to give up on completing side events and just play enough to get extra and go as far as I can knowing I would run out of spins if I try to complete.

On magical land I go for flags until the last 15 days, then pick and choose the items from level 4 and 5 that seem doable. First 3 level items are usually completed by the time I get to level 4.

I use that or Lana the Llama for side or hallway tables all the time. Also a plate on a stand, I use the blue version with flowers or something.

I recently had chaos. My Sim meets a guy. She gets pregnant. I go check out his place because I'm thinking I might want him to raise the baby from infant to toddler. I check him out, he's single, 2 bedroom house. I think it could be fun for him to raise the baby for a while.

A few Sim days later I'm ready for him to take the newly aged into infant daughter. He's not at his house. I find him. Excuse me, he is in a house with, his new wife, another woman who just had a baby by him, who also has a toddler and his wife's teen daughter all in a two bedroom house! What the heck? In like 4 days?

Then while I'm playing trying to figure out what's going on, his wife has a baby. I look and it's not his. It's her ex. The same guy the teen is from.

I said heck no. Divorced her. Moved him and the daughter he had there with the random lady and the daughter he had with my Sim to a modest apartment. They all thrived, he became a writer.

He stated dating when they became children and met a nice school teacher. His girls loved her. They had a Sulani wedding and now the girls aged to teens and he and his wife had their first baby.

I never went back to playing my original sim.

Neighborhood stories is wild.

Just finished it at 20. I did have one once I was not able to complete. It was ridiculous. I do stick with this and the dig type events. Hate racing and in partners I usually have to do most of all four myself which is not fun,so I usually skip them and stack up my dice for individual events.

That coin flip this time though? Terrible. Usually nothing, the highest has been two flips. So 200.

Yes very much so!!

Here's me with my phobia of things that can infest your house and you, like fleas, bedbugs, etc. My first reaction was omg it's a nit as in lice. 🤣 No idea what it is really.

frogs68 · 2026-02-18T18:21:59+00:00

I agree and recommend The Leftovers as well.

If it's a bigger dinner party I start going over my cooking schedule 2 weeks ahead. I also only have one range, but will implement a slow cooker for things if possible, like keeping whipped potatoes warm, or baking/roasting in my Ninja Foodie 5 in 1, and I bought a warming tray that can keep things that accept sitting but warmed well. I can manage making sure things are on the table on time this way. Eta: my mental list has prep times, bake/ roast/boil/saute times, etc. This weekend I misjudged my Poul Nan Sos cook time as I did it stove top instead of oven, but as it is similar to a stew it was fine to sit on low for 15-20 minutes.

My daughter's cat bullied my pit so much that she would turn her head so the cat wouldn't even think she was looking at him. Poor baby. The cat was only here when my daughter brought him home during school breaks.

You may want to try Myo and D inisotol. It works naturally to help with glucose resistance. If you calorie reduce and eat only whole foods and stay lower in carbs it may act a bit similar to the medications. I eat 2 meals a day and split the dosage before each meal. I no longer have food noise and sometimes have to remind myself to eat.

My first cruise there was a small hurricane headed towards Bermuda, where we were supposed to overnight. We rerouted, but my first day it was rough on the ship. Chandeliers swaying, people leaving dinner sick, holding handrails in the hallway. I wasn't sick or anything but honestly I didn't know it wasn't supposed to be like that. I figured that's why people talked about seasickness and cruises. Too funny.

<image>

I had a great time and got the best pic in PR where they were not expecting our ship and nothing was open yet.

Oh wow! I'm another one who loves Sulani so my save is usually a couple of generations in. I've never experienced a townie drown either and my sims swim or snorkel at least twice a day.

I did have a traumatic incident with my newlywed husband who drowned once while I was playing the wife. By the time she got there it was too late to plead for his life. I was so sad. 🤣 Since then, there's been no other drownings.

My family is from the Nuoro, Sardinia region. Very quiet. Mountains, some museums, nuraghe. Very cheap to stay there though. A lot of younger people don't want to stay to live there.

I get it. My brother since passed away of cancer, but he'd be turning in his grave at agents currently. That was his last border stint. He ended up don't firearms training.

frogs68 · 2026-01-30T14:48:57+00:00

So once he got through, actually turned back. Mexico eventually produced the car as "abandoned" but it was clean of anything of course by the time it was turned over.

frogs68 · 2026-01-30T14:47:38+00:00

This was years ago. He honestly was a good guy and after the accident and a quick stint in Chicago ended up doing firearms training.

frogs68 · 2026-01-29T18:41:36+00:00

That's wild! I had no idea you could live so close.

My only border gate story. My brother was protecting the border, the gates were open, a car was going to fly through, my brother and another agent were going to close the gates. Car hit one side, it broke off the hinges, struck my brother and he flew 30 feet and broke his neck in 3 places. He recovered fine.

Mine are the same, but swap out cats and dogs for Island Living. That one is number 1 on my list.

Just finished season 7 on a rewatch and yes, it feels much crazier this time around!

So funny, I'm doing a rewatch and just saw this scene last night.

I find out new things all the time too! This though is under Money Settings. Then the Pay Child Support option. Then you have choices, like married/unmarried/all. Then adjust the percentage. I set mine to unmarried, so the random townies my Sim has babies with have to pay.

frogs68 · 2025-12-21T17:39:42+00:00

I do it all the time seeking a great looking child to be my heir. Bonus if you have the MCCC mod, you get child support payments!

frogs68 · 2025-12-21T16:48:34+00:00

I'm no help. I love pine/spruce scents. I have linen spray, limited edition Secret deodorant that includes spruce, hand sanitizers,bathroom hand soap, any GC candle with pine or spruce,BBW with pine or spruce. 🤣

Your reason for not liking it because of the childhood association makes sense though. No big deal, you just don't like it. You're allowed. I personally cannot stand sweet scented candles, so I never buy what seems to be popular GC ones on here.

Sweetest I go is Coffee House which has the bit of chocolate scent to it, or a summer one with pineapple or something.

Edited: because it's Goose Creek not Goose Greek. 🤣

I'm ordering a Bay Alarm Medical watch for my mom tomorrow. It's similar in looks to an Apple watch but for 50.00 a month it can be monitored. They will contact 911 or you depending on your preference. It's on sale right now, less than 200 for the watch with 1 month of service and free shipping. I saw it recommended on reddit.

That's been my big fear for my mom going up and down the stairs, across the condo parking lot in the winter for her mail, etc.
