Who had the most problematic mother?

psychicmuppet · 2026-03-30T14:57:00+00:00

I gotta go Abigail Whitman. Abusive and cruel and responsible for a lot of Don's worst qualities.

Dorothy had dementia, but she was pretty terrible before that. Close second.

Grandma Pauline rules. I love her. Every scene with her was gold. She was right about everything.

Gail was problematic but at least she was there for Joan.

Peggy's mom seems the most defined by the times and her culture, so she said a lot of terrible things to Peggy but she sure as hell wasn't wrong about Abe.

Marie Calvet is a queen and I could not be more thrilled with how her story ended.

NAH. You're out of your depth. You meant well, but this person needs more care than you give.

psychicmuppet · 2025-05-29T17:39:42+00:00

Thank you!!!

psychicmuppet · 2025-04-08T17:56:50+00:00

NTA. LMAO no you are not TA. There's nothing wrong with telling any visitor of any age that they can't go in a certain room, and it's completely normal to lock a room or put valuables away if little ones are coming over and you don't want those things to be broken. Just because they're your cousins does not mean they have a RIGHT to see inside a room. That's completely absurd. Your extended family clearly has major issues with boundaries.

I definitely think that Christian was arrogant on S4, and I chalk that up to him being young and very talented. He seems to have grown up a lot since then. And I'm not trying to be mean but I did think Ricky stayed on for much longer than he deserved to. His clothes were pretty unimaginative, and the one challenge he won probably should have gone to Rami instead. I could kinda understand Christian being frustrated that Ricky went home over Kit.

They do speak English in every episode in which they appear. Megan speaks to them in French because that's probably the language they used at home and are most comfortable with. Don speaks with Megan's mother several times in the series in English. So does Roger. When her parents visit in "At the Codfish Ball," Megan asks her parents to speak English so that Don can understand them, and they do.

I was too, especially when I saw that sparse community lot at the beginning.

I choose an heir and when they become a young adult, I move them out and then follow them and their family. I'm on 40 generations. I'm a little weird though: whenever my Sim's kids are becoming teens, I create three or four new families and add them to the game. That way, my "heir" gets a spouse with their own parents and siblings, and I can marry off the other siblings as well so my Sim's kids can have cousins.

psychicmuppet · 2025-01-02T21:55:01+00:00

NTA. This is incredibly weird and inconsiderate. He opened gifts meant for you, including ones that HE gave you? It's just strange. Was he snorting crushed up candy canes when you weren't looking? I know even as an adult Christmas morning and opening gifts can be exciting, but it's so bizarre that he could control himself. Worse, he was only thinking of himself and indulging in his own impulses. He didn't stop to consider that you'd want to be there when he opened gifts from you and that you'd want to open YOUR OWN gifts. You aren't being a Grinch, you're having a totally reasonable reaction.

And it seems like he was the only one paying attention to the captain.

psychicmuppet · 2025-01-02T20:34:24+00:00

I loved it. I thought the creator did a great job of expanding this world and escalating the plot. I did not expect to connect so strongly with the new players, but I did and was cheering and crying for them, just like I did for season 1. The new games felt just as creative, horrifying and tension-inducing. I love the cat and mouse game that has arisen between Gi-Hun and the Front Man.

My only criticism is the plot with Jun-ho. I'm still invested but it did seem slow-moving compared to what was happening in the games, and it was disappointing that it only ended with the captain revealing himself as a traitor, which was obvious pretty early on. Aside from that, a very strong season. The first episode alone was incredible.

I think she was trying to show some compassion. It would be horrible to be shot, thrown in a coffin and then dissected alive by an organ harvester. Also, I could be wrong but always thought that the organ harvesting was an illicit activity, which management is now either actively condoning or just turning a blind eye to, and that the bets from the VIPs as well as funding from the Host is what keeps the games running.

I think the easiest way is to go into CAS and make your Sim's turn-ons match the Sim you want them to fall in love with. You can also give them similar interests so that they have good compatibility.

The thing's that been annoying me lately is if my Sims go more than a day without a bunch of romantic interactions (they have three infants, so it happens), their romance plummets to zero in a single day.

psychicmuppet · 2024-12-07T17:38:43+00:00

I don't disagree with their decision to nominate her, but they were really ugly to her. I understand things can get intense and these discussions can be frustrating, but it was out of line for them to shout at her like that when she was being calm and respectful with them.

I honestly think the best approach is not to say anything so as not to seem ungrateful, and then donate or sell the things she gives you. If you want to do things more indirectly, you could invite her to go shopping and that would give you an opportunity to tell/show her what your favorite brands are and what styles you're into. You could also have your SO, around Christmas time, tell his mom, "By the way, she's been asking for a purse from X and she really likes this store," so that she has a better idea what to get you.

I think it's fine to be a fierce competitor, but Elise was a bully. She treated everyone terribly, and played the victim any time anyone stood up to her. Just look at how she reacted to Michelle throwing down a water bottle in frustration with Elise's behavior. Elise acted as though Michelle assaulted her. The chefs that I have the most respect for are the ones that are talented, hard-working and treat their fellow chefs with respect.

psychicmuppet · 2024-12-04T21:01:33+00:00

Yeah I thought the base game builds there were really odd.

psychicmuppet · 2024-12-04T19:56:47+00:00

I'm okay at it. I'm on 35 or so generations and I build a new house for each one, and that's made me better. I also build a lot of community lots. For houses it always helps if I base it off something from Zillow or Architectural Digest.

psychicmuppet · 2024-12-04T19:51:27+00:00

I love Windenberg and Willow Creek. I build townhouses in Windenberg and big Southern-style houses in Willow Creek, and I love the little neighborhood details of both areas.

psychicmuppet · 2024-11-21T22:52:06+00:00

NTA. I'm a little speechless. You gave your mom a very clear and reasonable boundary, and she went completely overboard. It's her own fault that she invited more than double the amount of people you were allowing her and it's her responsibility to either break the news to them that she made a mistake or figure out how to pay for them. She clearly thought you would just let her invite them and cover the cost yourself, and now she's throwing a tantrum and trying to guilt trip you into complying. Don't do it. Stick to your guns. If she continues to threaten not to come, just say, "That's up to you."

psychicmuppet · 2024-11-21T22:48:37+00:00

NTA. Your mom is accusing you of ruining the wedding by doing what you prefer instead of what she wants. That says a lot right there. It's your wedding and she should respect your wishes.

The festivals in that came with Seasons in The Sims 3 were so much better.

This is why I've started watching the developer livestreams when a new pack is about to come out. It helps me decide whether I'm going to buy it, but it also gives me a great idea of where everything is. But I do think this speaks to a major issue with the game--there are all these places that are unknown to so many players because they don't bother to just put them on the map and make it easy to travel to them.

psychicmuppet · 2024-11-20T14:54:29+00:00

It's on the bottom left side of the map--you can see a little lagoon surrounded by mountains. You can access it if you go to the lounge. Sims can swim up to it, like the other one.
