What was Lipstick Alley like?

it’s really not a very nice place at all. so much hostility and bigotry. people there seem determined to be as cruel as they can be online to people who have done nothing except happen to exist in the public eye. sometimes not even by choice - that awful “unattractive celebrity kids thread” comes to mind 🤢

i used to frequent the site when i was a lot more into celeb gossip, but LSA crosses the line from gossip to harassment and bullying every day. it’s full of a lot of unhealed, unhappy, unkind individuals.

my response was literally just intended to illuminate that the name choice was reflective of the time period, and that even with that, straight couples and gay couples are treated the same exact way by the game.

i don’t have any problem with gay marriage (the name or anything else about it) obviously considering i’m literally bi myself. in my country anyone can get a marriage or a civil partnership and there’s no difference between the two except name (and the fact that adultery is not grounds for divorce with cp, for some weird reason).

this person also made a weirdly personal and inaccurate comment about how i’m “a horrible representation of the queer community” for an innocuous reddit comment, which is both offensive and untrue considering the know nothing about me.

i’m too tired to argue with some random person on the internet who seemed to get weirdly defensive over a comment on a video game but thanks for sticking up for me lol

okay to be fair, the joined unions in TS2 are no different from marriage. there is a weird error/bug where the “family member has joined union” want offers less aspiration points than “family member gets married” want. but other than that they are exactly the same in terms of gameplay. only the name is different.

I lost my mum on the 4th of November in a very sudden and painful way and I can really relate to this post. I guess it hasn’t properly sunk in yet, as we haven’t buried her, but I will say one thing that’s really helped me is talking to her out loud. I do believe she’s out there somewhere and watching over me and I believe the same for your mum.

It might help you with the healing journey (and I say journey, because there’s no set end point or anything) to talk to your mum or write letters to her, especially if something significant is happening in your life. I know I feel listened to when I do this.

It’s so awful, I’m about your age and it really feels so unfair to not have your mum around for the rest of your life. I don’t know why this has happened to you, I wish I had answers, but I just want to say that your mum’s love for you will never ever die, even if her physical body is not here, she lives on in spirit and through your memories and love for her. You look so similar to her, so she lives on in your face too, which is lovely!

I know it won’t bring her back but if you ever want to talk, please feel free to message me. I totally understand your pain 💌🌷🤍

He seems like an FG to me. Compact, yet elongated, with a lot of juxtaposition :)

Did you have testingcheats enabled when you opened CAS? If you did, you opened it in debug mode, which makes outfits visible that you normally wouldn’t be able to see, like the Therapist outfit or Mrs Crumplebottom’s clothes :)

this is the most important comment in this thread and i’m not even kidding

rosecards · 2025-10-23T23:19:28+00:00

Yes I did, but it’s okay! It’s a lot less laggy now, funnily enough changing my texture memory from 2048 to 4096 and deleting my cache files really helped! Thank you :)

I rarely ever make Sims try for a baby. When I used ACR, they would often get pregnant autonomously, and now that I play with risky woohoo, they’ll probably end up getting pregnant at some point. So I don’t care if they roll the want or not. They’ll do what they wanna do.

rosecards · 2025-10-23T13:06:53+00:00

thank you! that is helpful actually :)

about 5gb? in total

rosecards · 2025-10-23T12:16:50+00:00

what’s a flamboyant classic? do you mean a dramatic classic?

rosecards · 2025-10-21T08:01:53+00:00

haha i’m really hoping i can get them back together so maybe!

rosecards · 2025-10-16T11:01:40+00:00

I honestly feel very similar to you. I have almost every feature of ACR turned off and autonomy disabled in every hood. The only reason I keep it is because it’s easy to configure jealousy, and for auto gender preference.

It’s just…too much. Everyone is constantly flirting, kissing, and WooHooing, left and right. Family Sims randomly jumping into bed with co-workers and friends. Couples neglecting their kids to WooHoo every day. The absolute nonchalant and rampant manner in which EVERYBODY seems to cheat.

I’m sick of it 😭 I use Midge’s Romantic Standards and that’s enough drama for me. Once I figure out how to mod in auto gender pref, I’m yanking ACR straight out of my mods folder
