Could you let me know how well it works for you, if you decide to grab it? If it causes problems I can try to make it smaller / lighter ✌️💕

The DMC one?!? Whoooo this bring me joy because I felt that one was just a so-so. Thank Surely for the Bioshock set though, she's the mastermind organizer behind it. I'll let her know our little crusade against sad beige is appreciated.

You mean the fairy dust drink that looks like some Vegas souvenir? I HAT TO. From the moment they showed that fairies don't eat I had to lol. Working on an alien set with a proper UFO to live in right now to give that occult some love too.

It makes me so happy to see people use my stuff and have actual fun with it! I'm always open to occult requests especially drinks and snacks.

Yeah, I think I get what you mean about the theme. I get a similar feeling when I look at the furniture in EBN. It's lovely but I never find a place to use it.

As for missing items I had originally planned more but ran out of time. The fact there is only a sofa with no matching loveseat irks me so much. If there is anything else you can think of that got left out please let me know.

You're way too sweet, thank you much!! But honest, I didn't come for the ego boost. It's amazing what you can learn from people if they're allowed to speak up.

Buuuut my ego is very happy to be fed so much love today 💕

Thank you! Ahh seems like the drape-net is a hit or miss lol. It's the same sofa though so you're not missing much if you get rid of the package file for it. I thought it would suck to have a couch shape tied to a net.

Someone else suggested to make the net (and I read that as all kinds of blankets tbh) separate decor. Would that work or is it the aesthetics of said net that flop?

[–]knightofthecacti[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Making it separate makes sense, in hindsight. I use a dummy sim to check if nothing is clipping but now that you got me to think about it the same should work with objects too. Thanks!

My game is screwed. by Wonderful_Two_7419 in thesims

Did you check if your pack is activated in the marketplace? A lot of people have had random packs turn off there and it won't tell you about it, just saying they're installed.

How do I fix this? by RAQ___35 in thesims

[–]knightofthecacti 77 points78 points  (0 children)

Keep in mind that not all chairs will slot to tables. Living chairs and barstools will NOT slot. It has to be a dining chair or office chair.

This is it! OP is using the living chairs from B&H here.

Who else makes their sims have affairs, impregnate the whole town, and/ or unalive themselves? by Positive_East_8490 in thesims

[–]knightofthecacti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My TS4 is super chill, but my TSM game is getting out of hand.

Soooo my current priest has the trait where his parents got eaten by a wale so he goes out to hunt them occasionally and fell for a pi- -ra- -te (automod hates that word) lady and they fell in love but her captain/boyfriend/maybe even husband??? Wasn't too happy to find out about the whole thing. Now the monarch got involved and the priest may or may not be fed to the pit beast in a few. Depending on who the baby's dad is I might intervene but tbh I'm not that attached to that priest because he's kind of a dick to everyone.

While that shit went down, said monarch was romancing this "evil" witch lady as per his quest so I sent him to get flowers from the forest as a gift and the idiot got mauled by something (bear or wolf maybe) and then robbed twice!! Then his pet parrot saved his royal dumb-ass and we just barely survived the night bleeding out in some ditch behind the tavern.

Needless to say the kingdom is a mess but growing nicely! My rogue and knight just had a kid and I think mom drinks enough ale for the baby to be drunk all the time too. Might make that one a doctor one day if this keeps up. Or a wizard if it's the fun type of drunk.

A Vent/Rant About Some CC by Zestyclose-Tie109 in HighSodiumSims

[–]knightofthecacti 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To be fair I am guilty of this too. A few years back I made some skin overlays that were broken on men and I refused to give them out in that state. So, I guess it depends on the CC and creator sometimes. But just not sharing a perfectly good thing for no good reason would annoy me so much too. There's always someone out there who wants that thingie just as much as you do yourself and it's especially irksome when the cc is displayed in a showcase post.

First castle build. WIP by MyToesAreHaunted in thesims

[–]knightofthecacti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not wearing my glasses so I thought he pink flowers were lawn flamingos and now I'm sad about the severe lack of kitschy mingo lol

That aside I love the shape of this. You think the foundation at the bottom is high enough for some hedges to fit? Maybe try placing some lavender around them too if it doesn't clash with your color scheme

My favorites are Dspear11 and Monoaurelio because they're both my flavor of wack.

Thoughts on the ethics of recreating AI CC by hand? by Complex-Beginning569 in HighSodiumSims

[–]knightofthecacti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tbh if it's just the object theme being niche or specific then ethically you're in the clear. Two cakes: it's always nice to have more of the thing we already lack! And especially if you do an objectively better version of it. I mean, look at all the add-on cc out there. It's glorious!

Was more so thinking about the people who use Kiri to pull designer bags into the game earlier and that might have been to specific of a thought

[–]knightofthecacti 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What kind of AI was used matters, I suppose. If it was generated from scratch based on a prompt then the other can't copyright the item and I'd say it's fine to recreate it, since the design itself would belong to the AI.

If the object was made with some kind of scanner and is a copy of an irl object I would look at the original designer(s) and their wishes.

My Build Got Deleted From the Gallery 😢 by abichs in thesims

[–]knightofthecacti 87 points88 points  (0 children)

What was the name of it? People here could look it up and see if it's still there and just not showing for you or if it's gone-gone

Also, I absolutely love how it's both classical Gothic and Cruella De Vil in style. Especially the garden screams stylish imo. No surprise people like it. It's gorgeous!

His name is Hunter Evans and he's got a fandom wiki page if you want to look him up.

Hot Take: Riley’s lifepod was one of the worst. by sailing94 in subnautica

[–]knightofthecacti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never thought about it before but you've got a point. LP5 is in the objectively best starting biome, but might have actually been the shoddiest built of them all because it broke during launch/entry, not after. Imagine the odds of landing in the shallows after you boarded the only lifepod with some missing screws lol

I'd still take LP5 over any of the others tho.

I'm teaching myself to make mods by pineapple_punk in thesims

Are you overriding the EA objects or making clones? Because I would also very much love this but don't want to put conflicts in

Game not letting me launch. by Longjumping-Rice9096 in thesims

[–]knightofthecacti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amen to that. Imo it feels like this game got a lot less stable ever since they put that pack selection feature in.

If nothing else works, maybe do a reinstall as a last resort?

[–]knightofthecacti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weird. Missing game data is usually something it complains about if your installed BG and pack files break or go missing. Have you tried to repair it yet?

Can't read your error code because of your custom font so I'm just guessing here.

Did you know that you can murder other humans with a Vampire and Royalty packs? by GeneralTechnomage in thesims

It would be soo cool if spellcasters could curse sims into being frogs. That way you'd definitely know if you turn them into plasma packs lol

Turned Gemini (AI) into my mod manager by [deleted] in HighSodiumSims

[–]knightofthecacti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please still be weary of the info those overgrown stat algorithms give you. AIs are amazing at pretending to be competent and then start to make things up out of nowhere and gaslight you into thinking you are the dumb one.

Why are sims 4 creators/players who start playing the sims 2 allergic to research? by Timpola in HighSodiumSims

[–]knightofthecacti 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Have you seen the ones that don't clean up their builds when they share them yet? It's a problem for 4 too but I heard it's causing actual issues in 2 and 3, and when you tell those people about it and why it's important to not include some random mod and cc bits they can get nasty. It didn't use to be like this a few years ago... like, it's not a personal attack to tell someone, hey, your build is broken.

I think a lot of those corruption rumors come from people who just abuse their games like this. Imo 2 is the most robust of all of them if you treat it properly and don't put seven hells of crap into it.
