I don't have a specific testing pixel, but when I do, they're tired out by my testing them: "let's go to this community lot to see if what I did fixed it" or, "You have to go have a break, we're going to check out the routing on this lot!"

All I can think of is when I'm done the particular pixel will look at me and say, "Are WE done yet, madam? I have a life, too!"

I've had anything from a test family, to a test hood, to a full test folder.

Depends what I'm testing, but I'll usually test with minimal other CC (my regular mods + basic defaults, and whatever I'm testing). Sometimes I use them to take pictures of some new CC and I just want fast loading + easy finding in my CC.

The good thing about taking a step back from The Sims and enjoying other games is that it feels refreshing. The bad thing about taking a step back from The Sims and enjoying other games is "what the hell was I even doing".

I find it hilarious that telling a Sim to clean up a plate of burned food, they just shove the entire thing into the dishwasher without scraping off the food first.

I mean, I've known a distressing number of people who did that in real life too...

I finally downloaded a mod that extends every life stage by a x2 and I love it. My sims can date around, enjoy their hobbies on theor day off instead of building work skills, earn some money before starting a family, don't become old while the kids are teens. My couples can move in together before saving enough money for their dream home and not have kids right away. It kinda reflects real life where the housing crisis isn't awful.
