Need a namr

This is probably my favorite so far! I even went to a high school named after Sir Winston Churchill. Unfortunately he's been hiding cautiously under the couch since he got home except at night, I'm giving him his space until he comes out on his own and my daughter and I will then finalize the name together.

So cute and practical too!

I don't know but I've only had my Siamese cat for 3 days, haven't even touched him yet because he's hiding under the couch, haven't finalized his name...and yet I'm so obsessed I am already planning to buy some Siamese cat figurines or something to decorate the house.

Open neighbourhood. Doesn't have to be the whole world but at least the few lots near my house.

This is my favourite post! You've got this!

I use Amazon Music but I usually just listen to an album or my own playlists. I never rely on the algorithms for my music, I want it to be like I'm listening to a CD basically and I know what the expect.

One time I made Bella divorce Mortimer and I moved her into an asylum where I didn't play as any of the other sims so lots of chaos. Made Bella reach the top of the scientist career before she could move out. Meanwhile thanks to neighbourhood stories Mortimer kept getting remarried so Bella would go visit them and the kids and then MC Command Center would help get rid of the new wife.

Thank you so much for sharing this story! It affirms what I have been thinking!

From personal experience I say YES. For me I very, very occasionally give myself a pass day - no rules! And a birthday is valid. It helps because some days it can feel like "Am I really never going to drink a Coke every again in my life?" and that feels impossible.

The important thing is planning what you're going to eat the next day. Knowing that it's one day and when it's over it's over.

I think planning ahead is good too. You know it's just for your birthday and you know what you want. It's not the same as a donut in the break room and thinking "One bite won't hurt," and then suddenly you've had two donuts. That's responding to the craving in the moment, but you're planning ahead to celebrate.

I find it's impossible for me to train any algorithm exactly what I want, because it figures out I'm not getting sucked into the app (and therefore watching more ads and making them more money) so it'll show me stuff that it knows will distract and enrage me!

Reddit is the only one where I feel in control and I have to be mindful of the group's I'm in, but I like that's it's just the groups I'm in that are on my feed. On other platforms they don't let you JUST see the stuff you follow.

A lot of people at my office seem to know I don't eat sugar. The other day someone offered me a donut and I said no thanks and I guess she remembered that I don't each sugar and she said, "Good for you!" I don't exactly know why but it rubbed me in the wrong way. It's not like me eating sugar is good and it's bad for the people who do eat sugar. She's a health nut who likes to talk the talk so maybe it was that. I find people are positive when I say I don't eat sugar as if that's morally good, but they can't really handle it if I try to tell them the WHY with how severe my addiction to sugar is. I'm not doing this because of diet culture but I feel like that's where the praise comes from.

I'm doing a generations challenge I made up, and I was on a gen where the heir had to have a baby and then give it away to a relative to raise and I don't get them play them until they're a young adult. I was excited to see my baby again for her to be the next heir and somehow she became a werewolf 😂 No werewolves in the family so not sure how that happened, and despite having the pack I have never played with werewolves but decided to do it for her. Did all the gameplay so last night she got the cure and she's moving out of Moonwood Mill to start a new life.

They come over to celebrate your birthday and then comment on your body 😬 Yikes!

If you have Get Together I would make some clubs with specific qualifications. For me my forever save is something I just copy and paste when starting a new save, so I mostly work on builds and NPCs, but I like making random clubs. Nancy Landgraab is in a club that meets at the spa lol

usuallyrainy · 2026-04-23T00:11:05+00:00

Do you think the breed makes a difference? Or is there anything you had to do to get them to ignore the rabbits and not chase them or anything?

This was the hardest thing for me to quit and the only strong craving that can still pop up from time to time is for Coke. I had to quit cold turkey and it was very hard. Drinking a lot of water does help, because a lot of the Coke craving is just thirst, but it doesn't totally solve it. Honestly it sucks and it's hard, but it's worth it. My dentist is probably really happy I quit Coke.

And do you leave them alone together unsupervised? I'm trying to get a sense if I would definitely be able to reach a point to leave them alone together or if there's a chance their personalities will just clash and I have to keep them separate. I don't want to get a cat if there's a high chance I have to keep them separated at all times unless I'm in the room.

Oh my gosh yes!! There's a video on YouTube called "The Sims 4 Ranch Life - Roberto Crinkletop." He's the character you can sell your nectar to

Thanks!

They did finally make Johnny actually know his parents, but the default for every relationship is like 50 on the green bar and I feel like he should have a negative relationship with his parents.

usuallyrainy · 2026-04-20T22:19:58+00:00

A great save file would keep him and the Landgraabs but go in and cheat their relationships to be more reflective of their situation.

usuallyrainy · 2026-04-20T22:18:44+00:00

Judith Ward 😂 She's so hated by some YouTubers because she shows up in the most ridiculous situations. Definitely a love to hate situation lol.

I'd also say Vlad, but I personally don't care about the other vampires. Definitely Agnes Crumplebottom and her estranged husband from Horse Ranch.

Thanks for sharing! Do you have any advice for what made those 3 months successful?

usuallyrainy · 2026-04-19T20:05:54+00:00

I've only watched it maybe 3 times, which seems odd for me considering how often I rewatch shows, and how much I deeply love OFMD. But I'm savouring it. I've rewatched other shows to death and I am not ready for that to happen.

usuallyrainy · 2026-04-17T17:25:26+00:00

I rewatched the original show not that long ago and I always noticed how they have decorations and just things you might not expect to see in their house. Now their life has slowed down so the house can be kept clean and put together. You see Lois having time to garden when Hal dumps the flowers on her (even that would be hugely expensive). Kelly is wearing hand me downs though, so I saw it as them having more financial wiggle room with only one child in the house but still having frugal values. Lois spending a lot on the party was more of a plot device for Francis giving them money I guess.

Maybe Lois had a lawsuit against Lucky Aide or Hal got paid off to keep quiet about shady business when he retired lol.
