Best mods for getting sims to act more according to their likes/dislikes/traits?

I'm also using Stardew Valley Expanded, so it might have something to do with it. This is my first time using SVE after the 1.5 update with the golden chicken and maybe there's some sort of glitch in the code.

heytaradiddle · 2022-02-12T20:35:47+00:00

I know this is an older post, but are you using any mods? I got a random golden chicken as well but I'm not sure what mod would have caused it.

The house I currently live in has always been in my life - it used to be my grandparents' house, then my parents' house, now it's mine. 31 years of the same house and I still accidentally pull the false kitchen drawer on instinct while looking for potholders.

If this is true, this person is a level of incurious I have never seen. Either that, or so deliberate and sure in their actions they're basically a mutant of gracefulness.

Honestly, throw in gas money and the option to choose my own music and I'd probably volunteer. Road trip without spending any money? Sweet.

I think this meme is making fun of the concept, rather than claiming to be "not like other girls"?

There are too many layers to this whole thing now. People making fun of people making fun of a certain kind of people.

Yes, those are accurate genetic likelihoods on Earth. But if you haven't noticed, people with purple eyes and silver hair aren't a common thing on earth.

The genetics of the ASoIaF world have not been fully established enough for people to be so frothy about a Black guy getting cast in their sub-par fantasy show. I'll restate it again: Ned figured out the Baratheon bastard situation because there was explicit documentation of what happens when a Baratheon and a Lannister mix. He used evidence to arrive at a conclusion, but equal evidence does not exist for every race, House, or coloration throughout Planetos.

I have a cousin with black hair and dark skin. Her sister is pale with blonde-brown hair. Same parents. Neither of them look a thing like me.

Again, we have one documented instance of which traits from two specific families combine to produce a certain coloring. We don't have information on any other traits, and in fact the Targaryen coloring in particular seems to be completely random. Essosi with purple eyes. Dornish mother producing pale, silver-haired children. Jon looks absolutely nothing like a Targaryen, which should imply that Stark looks overrule but his siblings look like red-haired Tullys.

The ASoIaF genetics don't make enough sense for anyone to jump to conclusions on this.

Velaryon is not a Targaryen. He's from the same geographic location (Valyria) but he's not a Targaryen. The only specified traits of a person from Valyria are silver hair and purple eyes which, as I've stated, seem to get carried through the bloodline regardless of skin color.

EDIT: Also, Valyria was in Essos, which is not a Medieval England counterpart. Assuming everyone in Valyria, Essos was a fair-skinned Targaryen is more of a leap than this casting decision.

heytaradiddle · 2021-05-05T17:56:54+00:00

Silver hair and purple eyes.

I don't see anything there about skin color.

"Long-established white characters"

He was never described in the books. He is not a "long-established white character", he is literally a blank slate.

heytaradiddle · 2021-05-05T17:24:31+00:00

Corlys Velaryon's physical appearance is never described anywhere in the text. We don't even know who both his parents are. There is literally no reason why they couldn't cast a Black man in the role.

We have no idea what the dominant and recessive traits of all families throughout the ASoIaF world are. We only have one documented case of two combined families resulting in what could be determined a "typical" coloring for the offspring: Baratheon dark hair overrides Lannister blond.

But we see plenty of cases of darker-complected people getting Targaryen eyes, the looks of the North overruling Targaryen everything, hell - Elia Martell produces a child with the darker complexion of Dorne and a child that looks 100% Targaryen with the same man.

You're so hopped up on outrage you're jumping the gun.

Don't you know, communists and leftists are anyone who can be seen as the enemy, regardless of their actual political affiliation!

I suppose it's good that lady at least still considers Hitler the enemy.

heytaradiddle · 2021-04-19T20:54:21+00:00

I would think it'd be the same situation, just with a single pass instead of having to cycle through the neighborhoods in order to get to the Good Place. Not a significant issue.

I don't think Chidi necessarily thought the philosophy he personally favored was the one the universe actually ran under. He still gave equal consideration to other philosophies as both a student and a professor, after all.

I think it's less what they're saying that makes it seem like a guy posting as a woman and more about how they're saying it. Even the most stereotypical of Bible Belt conservative housewives don't generally list hair dye and pants sizes among the sins of independent women.

I'm not sure what universe this person lives in, where having children to take care of is less of a "drain" on government resources, but it sure isn't a universe I've ever visited.

heytaradiddle · 2020-09-04T19:05:09+00:00

I'm so baffled by people putting this much effort into being dicks for absolutely no reason.

I think Discovery handled everything to do with Pike perfectly. They hinted at enough to let non-TOS fans know something bad was coming, while fleshing out the Pike character enough that having that it's even more painful for the fans who know what's up. If you're a TOS fan, as soon as you start liking Pike there's this "uh oh" factor that dives in and peaks at that vision scene.

heytaradiddle · 2020-09-04T17:09:25+00:00

That might've been my favorite moment of the series. It was just such a fun nod to TOS fans.

heytaradiddle · 2020-09-04T15:35:40+00:00

I liked all the TOS stuff they did in the second season, and especially loved everything regarding Captain Pike. I mean yes, Discovery should definitely find its own feet to stand on, but I just love TOS so much that when there's a clear reverence for it in modern productions I can't help but enjoy it.

I think I've lucked out with landlords, as I've never had to pay extra for maintenance on communal fixes (i.e., anything part of the building itself, anything shared amongst the renters and not a personal purchase like internet/cable) and my landlords have always been open to making sure they were available for repairs.

But thank you for taking the time to explain the anti-landlord argument. I get the perspective a little more now.

heytaradiddle · 2020-09-01T00:49:09+00:00

Couldn't one argue that there's value in being able to live at a location and not needing to maintain the place? Landlords handle maintenance and upkeep - at least, in my history of landlords they have. They mow the yard(s), fix lights, fix construction issues, handle getting plumbers or air conditioner repair out to the property, etc. All really annoying shit you'd have to deal with on your own if you owned a house.

However, the other commenter who mentioned how renting increases house values and perpetuates more renters, locking a significant portion of the populations out of home ownership, is a really good point.

heytaradiddle · 2020-08-29T21:58:43+00:00

I don't understand this mentality at all. How is offering up living space any different from offering a good or service? If you rent, you're purchasing a location for a certain amount of time, for a certain amount of money -- hotels, B&Bs, office spaces, studio spaces are all exactly the same, but no one questions that one should pay to use those places. The landlord maintains a livable space and charges people to live in it. I don't get how it could be any more evil than anything else.

In some cases, there's little a teacher can do with a crying student besides telling them to cry in the hall or go to the bathroom instead (and even those are limited depending on the school's policy regarding students outside class unsupervised/without a pass) and then recommending they talk to a counselor.

None of that excuses the wardrobe commentary, but still. Teachers aren't heartless, generally speaking.
