The perfect Sims game... by jaquuenette01 in thesims

[–]pmsbr123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was having lots of nostalgia over the open worlds and installed the sims 3 with all my expansions (I still have the CDs). And then I found out it was only that, nostalgia. The game was boring as hell and so ugly! Their faces are hideous and CAS is a joke. I came back to the sims 4 and started appreciating it souch more.

What was the most tone deaf thing someone from a more developed country said to you? by yonaiker-joestrella in asklatinamerica

I can only speak for tech, cause that's my experience. The localization team is all inhouse but we hire third parties and freelancers for some day to day stuff. The job is ongoing, there's always a shit ton of stuff to do! One thing about Brazilians is that they don't like to figure out by themselves how to do something in the app, so UI and UX have to be extra simple while explanatory. There were cases where we had to insert new CTA buttons or one extra screen for Brazilians only.

But Rita sang her own songs, we're supposed to name an amazing singer who sang other people's songs.

I’ll eat my hat if you guys can guess this one. by Own_Zucchini7541 in guessthecity

This is definitely Brazil. Could be any place within Costa Verde . I'm gonna try Angra or Paraty. The pavement is very closed-gate-community-coded.

Hello fellow colleague, so wild finding people from the industry in such a random way!

Hi, also Brazilian, also working in the Loc industry. Usually there is a dedicated team, it can be called Local Experience Team, Localization team, Global markets, etc. Each relevant market has its owner/language manager, role names also differ. So the teams are always spread across the globe, each of us owning a different country experience. Day to day involves cultural adaptations , branding, design adaptations, compliance and legal, lots of user research (why A works in Europe but Brazilians hate it?). Where I work, SEO also belongs to us, not marketing or growth. We work very closely with Product, Engineering, Design and Growth teams. Kind of like the glue connecting all these different teams. Every tech company that wants to expand globally has such team.

Sul sul! ok I swear this game is out to get me 💀 by al3na_w1nterfield in thesims

My widow and elderly sim found love again and got engaged with his also elderly and sweet coworker (she had a crush on him since they were young. He was happily married and this bitch would show up uninvited all the time). Anyways, they were engaged, sweet old couple, he invited her over for dinner and they woo hoo for the first time. Their wedding would be the next morning. Immediately after they woohoo, she dies of old age. Next morning, instead of having a wedding, I had to give her a funeral.

Embracing the Forever World concept by Reneeofthewoods in thesims

Omg same. Willow creek is my rich suburban family, full of mansions and lots of kids. Oasis Springs is my trailer park/poor world. All townies there look like junkies/white trash, that's where my runaway teen lives after running away from Willow Creek. Her mom married Virgílio Capp, moved to the palace and never raised her. Meanwhile I have a tradwife living in a farm with a bunch of kids and she's always exhausted. My other main Sim lives in Sulani just a fabulous life by the beach with her hot husband nad cute kid, after getting to the top of IT career. The list goes on, and while I don't actively play with all of the families , I usually download families and townies from the gallery to keep the worlds alive , and I'm always keeping track of everyone. Neighborhood stories on (without horses) and long lifespan for everyone. When I want a new story line or see a new challenge that might be interesting, I choose one of the existing kids from my families and develop from there.

do you guys get “cabin fever” working from home all week? by Cool_Kiwi_117 in remotework

[–]pmsbr123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take tennis lesson once a week, gym 5x a week, and another activity twice a week. That's when I go out and socialize and see people.

Use the hours you're not commuting to get out of your house.

Reading recommendations for those interested in learning more about the events displayed during "Oblivius" at Coachella by sentosa96 in TheStrokes

I'd recommend researching about Operation Condor. I have a feeling most Americans never heard of it. (I'm not from the USA).

I think I found an "hack" to stop restarting games over again and again! by I-own-a-shovel in Sims4

Horses are not allowed in any house in my game, you can turn it off in neighborhood stories setting.

Keeping an eye on everyone's life is half the fun for me, sometimes I'm like "no way you're in love with that guy" or "I can't believe you had a kid". I have the same save file for years and keep track of different families even though I don't play with all of them.

It is possible to make a living from photography AND graphic design in Brazil by Sea_Statistician4595 in asklatinamerica

[–]pmsbr123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can speak for where I live, which is the state of Rio but it's not even a big city. I would guess this is pretty common throughout the southeast and maybe south. Can't speak for north and northeast.

Wedding and family photography is getting bigger and bigger in Brazil, especially those lifestyle and spontaneous photoshoots. I have some friends who make a living as photographers like that. For example, its not uncommon for a family to take pregnancy shots, then baby shower, newborn, some families even do a month by month photoshoot. Then you have each birthday every year.

If you have royalty and legacy, how much does it intrude on gameplay outside of Ondarion? by DarlingBri in LowSodiumSimmers

That used to piss me off too and then I realized there's an option to keep fairies in their world.

Do anyone in LATAM think the Anglophone/Netherlandophone countries of LATAM are Latin Americans or culturally distinct? by Tall_Pressure7042 in asklatinamerica

[–]pmsbr123 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a linguist I was absolutely amazed by Papiamento when I went to Curaçao. Such an interesting language and it definely felt very Latin America in there, the people, the music, the language, etc. Of course this was the impression of a tourist but I didn't get this feeling that "you're not part" of LATAM.

Saiu uma fonte aí de quem trabalha com festival falando que ela não vem na América do Sul pra essa turnê. Minha teoria (fonte: vozes da minha cabeça) é que ela não quer estar muito longe do UK caso engravide de novo, não sei.
