My University project has been going for so long (like honestly about 10 years) that at this rate by the time I finish it I feel like there's only gonna be a dozen TS2 players left to (hopefully) appreciate it...

Paysites are still shitty, even with a 20+ year old game. That won't be a surprise to anyone, but I was made aware of something here that people should probably be warned about. https://blueheavensims.tumblr.com/p...tect-is-a-dirty

Been loitering around Youtube lately, and the amount of let's play/challenge/etc. simmers (especially TS4 simmers) who do the "one hand on cheek, mouth slightly agape, obviously very fake 'oh no something goes wrong...' face" thumbnail, usually combined with a title that suggests their whole game is on fire (but barely anything exciting happens in the video) is getting on my nerves.

("I built a house!" *surprise pikachu face hand on cheek* <- what even is this supposed to be?)

It's getting worse and worse, because it seems every other video these days (not just simming videos) have some sort of face reaction thumbnail. Show some creativity, maybe?

Also, the ones who are pumping out 100+ videos with pretty much the exact same content, and act "surprised" whenever they get a good result (which they usually do). "Can I make a house on a 20.000 budget in TS4 with all packs?" Yes. Yes, you can. That game has a billion budget-friendly items, and that's without any CC. You can even decorate it with money left over. Now try the same in TS2 (without CC)... :/

I dunno, you lost me at "let's play/challenge/etc. simmers" which shows how old I am!

I don't know why but it annoys me that if a Sim wears glasses they take them off when they are dressed just in their underwear. It make sense for them to remove their glasses if they are in their PJ's as you don't sleep in your glasses. Oh and the Sim has no problem reading a book without their glasses on.

One of those entries by the offender is listed at $4,000! Good lord, who is he trying to rip off!

As the Mighty Pescado said, "No Paysites ever!"

Probably because they sleep in their underwear after woohoo.

Nearly all my Sims usually sleep in their very skimpy underwear! After you've asked them a few times to "Sleep in underwear", they do it autonomously.

I read without my glasses on too. I'm short-sighted and my glasses are for distance.

All Sims are beautiful -- even the ugly ones.

I have one pair for distance and one pair for reading. I often neglect to wear the reading ones until I realise that the page/screen is blurry. XD Can't forget the others, as I can't drive without them.

I have moved my screen and chair close together rather than wear glasses. Had the same pair of glasses for over 10 years because of careful use. Can't read with them even though their strength was chosen on purpose to be less than what is required for seein in the distance optimally.

So shallow snow makes people take a long detour when using the military obstacle course on the Fitness hobby lot. And my smart door causes them to do it in outerwear, and I can't be bothered to make yet another exception for this in the door. It's not just walkbyes who climb the house porch.
