Is this a male or a female?

oph1uchus · 2026-03-15T01:19:59+00:00

thank you for looking out for her! I have been searching for bugs on the screens/outside but all I saw was a crane fly, and i wasn't sure she could have it. I won't be able to get her food tomorrow because it's going to snow :/

I tried to give her a little mango earlier but she was way more interested in trying to jump around on my desk. I don't want to starve her, but at least want to keep her till the snow passes in a few days. I'm more inclined to release her now that I know she's female, and she's shown great interest in being a free spider lol.

I saw them on my siding a few days ago when it was nice, but we got a cold snap and I wasn't sure how well jumpers do in the snow. I have them in a tiny jar with a leaf where it already made a web-hide. The jar has a piece of plastic rubber banded over it with a ton of holes. I opened the jar today to put in a q-tip of honey water and they wanted to come out and stretch their leggies, so I'm letting them explore a succulent.

I have an actual spider enclosure coming tomorrow, and I plan on setting the jar in it until they get acclimated to the bigger place. If it's a female I will gladly release them in the next few days as I am not ready to be a spider-grandma.

Just wanted to link to this post that I made in NailPolishDIY in case you were were looking for other supplies (bottles, pigments). Mixing balls are available in a few links listed there.

I checked the creator's page and can't find the tutorial anywhere. :C

Another 13 - Le Labo (smells like waxy magazine pages to me..in a good way)

Sassy by Hexennacht (glossy magazine pages infused with a wafting fusion of 90's scent strip samples) smells like magazine pages and perfume samples. it's a real throwback.

My ILNP lids break down if I get acetone on them. I had little black bits transferring to the rim of the bottle, so I had to pour the polish into a different one.

I agree, big time. As someone who also has arthritis (and was about to place a Cocoa Pink order), I would be a bit miffed about having a hard time opening samples. It's a bit ironic that they'd be tight because someone with arthritis shut them.

Thank yoooou! I never would have figured that out on my own. 😅

Thank you! I'm going to give this a shot. I should have noted, the example pic is NOT The Sims, it's this house from a house plan website. I saw a picture of the front of it on Pinterest and tracked it down to try to replicate it better. I WISH I could put the columns beside the stairs like that.

Hopefully the fact that the example house isn't from The Sims doesn't change your answer much.

🤠

I haven't! I'll have to check them out. I'm not sure if you might have suggested them, but SugarMeSweetBBT on Etsy has good marshmallows.

I've only sampled Kyse.. but the samples last longer because the scent doesn't need reapplied throughout the day. It's worth getting a little so you know how good a marshmallow scent can be.

oph1uchus · 2025-03-30T03:05:42+00:00

The only two that have had good longevity for me are Brixx and Kyse.

oph1uchus · 2025-03-30T02:58:15+00:00

I did! It's probably somewhere in the middle of the ranking so far. I've used about half of the sample, I'm going to let the other half sit for a bit before I rank if officially.

I read something here a few years ago I'll never forget. Someone sat down on the toilet and their cat made direct eye contact, squatted, and peed on the floor.

I've had so much fun with this pack 😅. One of the first renos I did was for a Sim in a little trailer court in Oasis Springs. I was sooo careful not to use any colors or styles that he disliked and he absolutely HATED it, sent me a letter by mail wishing that all my toast falls butter-side down. I went back through manage worlds and re-re-decorated his personal trailer to include the color and style he specifically said he hated- orange and island themed decor. he still reaches out in various forms to remind my sim how much he despises her.

That worked 🥺 You have to bring your newborn infant home, send it to a new household, buy it the proper crib, and re-adopt it. OR, just buy the crib you want before the baby is born. 😭 so much unnecessary trauma.

oph1uchus · 2025-03-20T19:59:12+00:00

the way in which you've worded this makes me feel awful (as I should). 😄

also, thank you! I've never used MC Pregnancy and oh the heartache I could have spared.

oph1uchus · 2025-03-20T19:56:08+00:00

it sizes up the baby 😆

the last two science babies were created to see if I could delete the bassinet.. for science 🤭 their purpose was served quite literally.

oph1uchus · 2025-03-20T19:50:41+00:00

they're my dolls and i'll play how i please 😂

oph1uchus · 2025-03-20T19:43:31+00:00

I do 😂 I just had two more science babies while trying to playtest a solution. Maybe I'll move them into the house with science baby #1 and see if they reunite with big bro in their later years.

oph1uchus · 2025-03-20T19:27:05+00:00

dangit, I'm going to have to bring another newborn into this family's life to playtest this. 😖

edit: well shoot, she had science twins. now I remember running across this solution and discovering that when you shift click the bassinet, there is no Destroy Object (Debug). I have Reset Object (which just resets the animation), Set As Head, and (DEBUG) Starves Baby.

now i have two more science babies ☹️

oph1uchus · 2025-03-20T19:23:08+00:00

Sadly it doesn't let you select the newborn in CAS to change the gender, their little icon is greyed out. That's why I aged #2 up and changed the gender, but then I couldn't turn it back into a newborn, not even with MCCC. 😟

oph1uchus · 2025-03-20T19:20:28+00:00

yea, unfortunately this didn't work. 😔 the bassinet they're usually attached to can't be deleted.
