7. Studio Musician
8. Concert Pianist
9. Symphony Conductor
10. Rock God

It's like the devs couldn't make up their mind to stick to either classical or popular.

Heh, I'm actually in the process of using the Sims 3 music tracks to create 2 music careers. I don't think a Concert Pianist or Symphony Conductor need to work as a roadie. In fact, it's probably not good for a concert pianist to be doing a job that involves carrying lots of heavy objects.

@lientebollemeis already ported a lot of the TS3 careers

That's cool, but I'm creating 10 different levels for each instead of sharing the first few, plus including the career outfit fixes I've already done in my game

While having some fun in a Discord server by telling stories while replacing 'my pet' with 'my roommate,' I realized that telling stories while replacing 'my Sim' with 'my roommate' would also be great.

"My roommate got out of bed to scream about being tired then passed out on the floor."

"My roommate looked to the sky and waved their arms complaining about needing to go to the toilet, but instead of going to the toilet they just complained and eventually pee'd themselves."

Like this?

"Two copies of my roommate came home from the store. One of them kissed her husband, and the other got pissed at him for cheating. Then they got into a fight in the living room."

"My roommate put some toaster pastries in the oven, then went to work, and the whole kitchen burned down."

This actually happened to a FOAF (friend of a friend), but it was pizza, not toaster pastries. And it happened yesterday in my game as well.

I'm building a business lot on a corner lot and I'm lazy so I only want to use LotAdjustor once to shrink it. I kept getting confused about the sidewalk width with the road, so I made a fake road and sidewalk for reference.

Also: Just because I can doesn't mean I should

In real life, one of my hobbies is exercise and I am currently logging about 40 miles a week running and walking. It's good, but sometimes it's a grind. Par for the course. But this week I had a small epiphany, and imagined I had a progress bar. It really helps!

There're so many custom neighborhoods out there that I'd love to try. Not sure if I'd rather play a twisted version of a default hood or maybe get a completely original one or try a sort of uberhood... And I always end up playoing in my beloved Pleasantview lol

Imagine typing "testingcheatsenabled true" followed by dragging your body skill up in levels, with your new body level skill you could push faster and harder in your running :D

I have never tried to make a sim based on a real person, but, boy, am I tempted today to try!
A man who was not even supposed to walk after an knee injury and it looked as if his knee would have to be amputated. But a donated hamstring tendon (his father's) implant changed everything.
In 2021, he was the World Rugby Player of the Year. This year, he did it again.
And I think he will make a very cute sim

For me it's the other way around, since I tried the custom neighborhoods, I'm unable to play the maxis, I played them so much during my adolescence that they already bore me. Customs give me the surprise factor and different ways to explore the game.

The bad thing is that I am so focused on finishing the update of what I have published once and for all, that I have not been able to seriously test anything that has been released lately. -.- And incredible things have come out in recent years.
