"Probably should've invited him over a few hours earlier."

Katelyna Rotspatz invited over Tim Rowland for a little midnight love. While they were relaxing on the bed naked, a ghost suddenly showed up in the bedroom to scare Tim. He peed on the floor, and then with a red hygiene thought bubble, immediately left, leaving Katelyna sitting on the bed still naked.

"Stay classy, dude."

I was playing Malcom Landgraab, and had elected to have him get together with Brandi Broke, since they had two bolts of chemistry. They had pretty much only just got crush level, she went home, and then he called her at 9 pm for a booty call. That's not how I'd have my first time, but you do you.

"Glad to see the increased fire spread mod works."

I placed down a one-tile buyable fire. Within a few minutes it engulfed the entire front yard.

Not while playing Sims 2, but while looking for specific content for the game

(While searching for SIMS 2 content on Google, and seeing something that is exactly what she wanted. Exactly. Couldn't be any more precise!)

First thought ... "Let this not be for Sims 3 or 4. Let this not be for Sims 3 or 4. Let this ... "

Despite using Boolean terms, finds out the content is for Sims 3 or 4.

"!@#$!"

I've had Google explicitly ignore my search terms sometimes. Might be worth trying another search engine, DuckDuckGo or Bing or something.

Bing is pure evil... I've had that awful thing install itself on my computer once, it made itself the primary search engine and took over my browser with a bing-specific starting page and everything. I had to look up an online guide to get rid of it.

I'm referring to the search engine, not the toolbar. @Orphalesion, you might like Unchecky.

Ooooooh...

That was years ago, it came already with the laptop I had back then. So there wasn't really a way for me to not install it. Just a way to uninstall it.

But that program will certainly be useful in the future thanks

Oh yeah, manufacturers like to bundle software. Pretty bad.

"Well, this...isn't weird at all."



I'm not even sure how Gordon Freeman (the guy in the orange suit) got in the house at all. Guess someone greeted him when I wasn't looking.

EDIT: "I don't remember installing this."

Had exactly the same experience today complete with expletives, then "Why has no-one converted this?"

And of course it often takes a while to know that it's for Sims 3 or 4, despite your explicit search for Sims 2, because all the links go to pinterest.

I'm getting thoroughly fed up of having to type -pinterest as part of every search in order to get some halfway useful results back.

So...if I'm searching for sims 2 cc I should type something like "sims 2 purple shirts -pintrest"? That's cool. I hate pintrest. What a stupid, useless website.

That would have probably been the evil upgrade micro$oft did last year. That important "security" upgrade was so people would no longer have a choice in web browsers or search engines.

It wouldn't install on my computer for some reason. Now, because of that, micro$oft is about to stop supporting my computer.

"I do not trust any of you."

I made a new family of the worst people.

Sometimes, it's pretty useful. I have an account there, so I don't get the nonsense that some might get. And Pinterest is one of the few sites where you might actually be able to see Photo*ucketed pictures that the anti-PB-hider app can't bring up (such as Dreamwidth pics). I've also found and downloaded loads of great stuff I missed.

That being written, it can also be a hindrance when you have to wade through a Pinterest site that often drops certain important search terms in the process. For instance, if you're looking up fountains and you see one is on a Pinterest site, the Pinterest search will drop the "fountains" part and just use Sims 2. Good luck trying to find those fountains then.

If you have Greasemonkey/Tampermonkey, there's a few scripts that'll let you see Pinterest without logging in. Userscripts are great.

I'm playing this in a Discord call, so I'm narrating everything.

"The teenagers are surrounding Rod Humble. They're going to eat him. This is Children of the Corn."

"Wait there's an Isaac in my game now."

No no no! NO MORE CHESS!!!

*makes Daniel Pleasant cheat on Mary-Sue with the maid* Oh my GOD, what are you doing?!?! How DARE you?!?! I can't believe you did something like that, without any interference from me whatsoever!

"Dammit! Where are you hiding this time? I know I saw you come in the house and the house isn't even that big!"

@RoxEllen1965 - right-click on the Sim's portrait and the camera will follow them! I'm assuming you already know this, though...

Yes, I usually just double-click on the portrait on the spindle to find them. What boggles my mind is how easy it is to lose track of a sim with a big bright platinum plumb-bob hanging over her head! Dina just walked into the house and disappeared among the furniture like she had super camouflage powers or something.

It's worse with a large family. I see movement out of the corner of my eye - "Oh, there you are! Oh wait, you're not the sim I was looking for. You're not even one of mine! Did somebody drag you home from work while I wasn't looking?"

It's really easy to lose track of visitors, too. You can't double-click their portraits to find them.

Well, if I get desperate, I can use this thing to find visitors. I keep forgetting that I have it though.

It's even worse when you're trying to keep tabs on four kittens. They get around fast, and they're tiny. At least they all take after Dad and are bright ginger.

"That's really not a good idea....Well, deal with it, then!....*Sigh* You're really not very bright, are you?"
Ginger Newson decided to pet a skunk, stomped and shrieked at me when she got stinky, then went off to the music room instead of taking a shower (so she obviously wasn't that bothered about the stink!).

ETA: Yay, I'm a hamster!

"What the fuck??? Is this allowed?"

I merged a 7 person family with an 8 person family to see if I could and I was very scared to see I could.

In my test hood, I merged the Ottomas family with the Newsons. In the family portrait, one of the toddlers got clipped halfway off the image, and Sharla went missing from the picture entirely.

The family portrait was just the 8 youngest sims, for me.

"What the -? I thought the garden club members were all broke?"
A very small neighborhood I haven't discussed here, the local single knowledge sim married the garden club member, and he brought $20K with him!

Various words that would be unprintable here?

Ones with lots of Unicode characters, you mean?

"I think you forgot something."

Well... four-letter words... XD

I was being farcial there. Not that it's easy to tell over the internet.

*Go ahead, take your shower...I'm not looking*

LOL I tend to be rather literal-minded anyway - I have aspergers. Anyone else have aspergers?

I have Asperger's/ASD, although over the years my case has become rather tempered and mostly manifests in having difficulties understanding idioms I've never heard before and taking song lyrics too literally. I also dislike looking people in the eyes, but I just look at the nose instead. There's also some problems with sensory overload but I've found ways to cope with it. If someone didn't know me (or doesn't use an idiom when conversing with me), I doubt they'd be able to tell.

*raises hand* I'm autistic too! I've heard people say that games like Sims are popular with autistic people, actually. Wonder how true that is...

"Dang, Zoe's a rich girl! And doesn't understand about Natasha's closet, I don't think."

Natasha Casa finally managed (4 days away from college!) to get her first date, calling triple-bolter townie Zoe Jeffrys on her secret cell phone from the bathroom, and meeting her at Omnivore Cafe. She made it a dream date by asking what Zoe wanted a lot, then ended the date to get home before Papi started wondering why she was staying out so late on a "school project" when she has twin toddler siblings to wrangle. First Zoe left the traditional bouquet (which her twin brother Stephen got to first, and hurriedly hid in his sister's inventory), but later that night she came tiptoeing along and left a hot tub blocking the emergency shelter's door! That's gonna be a little tough to explain to Papi, plus there isn't really room for it in the trailer's little yard. So it's in her inventory for college.

'Wow, it sure has been a long time since I played! ...who the heck are you people, again?"

"This is the best possible universe."

It's a nice change of pace when two sims you want to end up together have three bars of attraction to each other.

Welcome back, Dezzy..who?

My husband - I call him asperigus man. He is not amused. He is brilliant, very high functioning. But in lots of ways, he just can't "connect".

Lotta stuff amuses me - if I know the point of the joke. If someone calls it 'ass-burgers' or calls me an 'ass-pie' I don't get offended - life is too short to get offended by every little damn thing. If someone wants to poke fun at me, I say let them. I even have a group on DeviantArt meant for helping aspies learn to function on the internet. It's called aspie-reform... warning though - it's meant to be politically incorrect. Sh*t posting and trolling are encouraged to a point because I believe that aspies need to learn to live in an NT's world.

"...You pussyslayer."

So I have this teenager, right? He's straight. Every single teenaged girl who he's met so far now has him as ACR's One Sim, and has two bars of attraction with him. But here's the thing. That's the same sim I already have a girlfriend for that he has THREE bars with, and he isn't the cheating type.

I am going to be breaking so many Sim-hearts!

"For the love of god, stop rolling in your own pee."

"CleanBot, you're the real MVP."
The little 'bot that Julia left at the college dorm was faithfully cleaning up every diaper that baby Quinn was changed out of. Her parents didn't have to do a thing about them!

CleanBots are amazing when they aren't breaking down every five minutes.

I have a mod so they don't break at all.

Mind linking to it?

"No, this is not the time to go have woohoo on the couch! You have to go to work!"

After I'd painstakingly moved a couple into a new house, and reset everything to match the rest of the neighborhood's timeline.

I would, but I have absolutely no idea where it came from. It was one of the hacks that I copied from my mom's game when I switched from playing on her computer to playing on mine. orz

One of my familys had a CleanBot. It went out in the rain and broke down. Then it glinched under the pavement and was not to be found. I could see the smoke and hear the noise it made but I could not find it. I did use the Stuck object remover to nuke it.

Things I said: "And then you go to THAT part of the room". One of the students in my Uni sub-hood is living in his own house. He woke up one winter morning and wanted to see the snowfall and I let him do it. But In the room whit three windows he walked up to the window that was covered by a closet to look outside (the house is tiny so I could not furnish an other way). But he did not bother about the closet at all, he was, in fact, looking at the snowfall.

Isn't that one of Paladin's?

Or maybe Cyjon's...?

I found three that make robots break less often. If there's one that makes them completely unbreakable, I couldn't find it (Google gets more useless every day )

1. Crammyboy's "Robots Break Less"
http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/s...pic,3738.0.html

2. Jfade's "Less Robot Breakage" (about halfway down the page)
http://sims.jfade.com/index.php?cat...ubcat=2&skip=10

3. Cyjon's "Less Hydrobot Breakage" (only affects hydrobots)
http://www.cyjon.net/node/81

Ghost, enough to fly, go back to the grave, the sun is already rising. (when you play in a family of Spectrs with Radiance Lighting System)

"Where are you going?"....
"What the hell are you doing??!"
to a Sim who decided to go up and down stairs rather than to the taxi after choosing to move out. Even when I moved him outside he turned and went back inside and up the stairs. I had to lock him out before he finally got the message.

According to the comments on MATY, if you use both Jfade's and Crammyboy's mods (they don't conflict apparently) the robots will hardly ever break.

My supposedly Town Hall looks like an ice cream/candy shop...---- me.

"Let go of my son."

The nanny is a little *too* good in my game right now. Kieran's bladder was low and it was potty training time, but she wouldn't put the poor little guy down.

"That is not a good idea, child. You would quickly learn not to do that in my world."
(Hope Defirrd was throwing a tantrum and stomping on prickly pear cactus, with bare legs.)

"Darren stop rolling the want to flirt with everyone! You're not even a Romance Sim."

"Ah, one-sided attraction. I know how that feels, Puck. It is not fun, is it?"
For reasons beyond my sense of comprehension, Puck has been swooning nonstop over Tybalt for quite a while now. What can I say, though? I do feel sorry for Puck, but I still love the smell of unrequited love in the morning.

Also, ACR has been kicking in way too impatiently these days. "Whoa, public WooHoo already? They have just shared their first kiss! Would it kill you to take it slow for once?"

"You are not going to kill your ex-girlfriend."
"You are not going to kill the man your ex-girlfriend had an affair with."
"You are not going to kill your ex-boyfriend's new love interest."
"Stop this, nobody is going to see anyone's else ghost."

JoAnn Guttenberg and Andy Bellum started out as such a promising couple. Then Sebastian Rafferty happened.

I was screaming at Gabriella Newson last night: "Put that bottle DOWN... and MOVE, you stupid child!"

Faith Goodie had only just got said bottle out of the fridge to give to Georgia... but in the space of time it took to place it on the floor (if they can't give it directly for whatever reason - I got the mod to avoid the hissy fits) and for Georgia to get hold of it, Gabby grabbed it and was about to throw it into the bin. It's nice that she's helpful and clears up things, but really... can't she at least wait until they're actually truly abandoned??

"Come on - she's your daughter"
Robin Logren wants a bronze medal in cosmetics so as I was gonna change the hairstyle and beard on his husband, and then their daughter became a teenager so I wanted new hair and a little make-up on her, Robin got to practice his skills on both of them. I liked the idea of a father doing his newly teenaged daughters hair and make-up for her and so I thought it'd be so sad if he messed it up and she got angry with him, but luckily he didn't!

"You just got electrocuted, don't go jumping in the puddle, dumbass!"

"What are you, oblivious? Or perfect for each other?"

One of my Sims (who shall remain nameless) has been on a serial chain of successful dates. The first of these was with Neutral Invictus, resulting in a mutual crush. The second with somebody else, and the third with Seth Nancarrow (which was probably overstating the matter as the pair had no romantic interactions whatsoever during the "date"). Well, while the date was happening, Neutral walked by. Now, the date between the Sim and Seth was on a completely bare piece of land because they had been depending on being in a subhood in which neither of the pair lives to hide themselves from lovers walking in on them. However, Neutral completely ignored everything and just carried on walking, no signs of relationship effect showing.

"I don't know who you think you are, but you are not your wife..."

Well, the Sim was tired after date #3 and went home. She had no sooner gone to bed than her husband Richard (now you know why she didn't simply have the serial dates at home...) decided to go on a date of his own, with Marissa Longwood. Not only did one of Richard's other lovers spot the couple, not only did Marissa get a hefty slap for it, but while that was happening, a Sim hirtherto unknown-to-Richard declared himself as Marissa's one true love and slapped him for causing Marissa to cheat... It was all getting very angry and confusing over there! (Nobody will be surprised to hear that the date was curtailed after this...)

In my best Tommy Chong voice (which isn't very good): "I think it's under statues...nope...well then it's under miscellaneous, man."

"We couldn't put something that hangs on the wall under wall hangings, that would just be ridiculous."

"Why is she naked? There's no reason for her to be naked." - Looking through screenshots.

"No, stop it. Don't look through the telescope during the day. You're going to get shov-... okay yep you got shoved by Mortimer and I don't feel bad for you."

"For goodness sake,leave the baby in her crib she does not need another bottle."

"Are you... doing the smustle? Your sister has just passed away!"

"If it wasn't in there the first two times, it's not going to be in there the third time."

Me to me, after searching the gardening catalog for the perfect shrub. There was no choice but to close the game and go on another download spree.

Oh I beg to differ! SW-Packaging stations...you only find them the third time you look for them. lol
(I made a collection file just for them)

"I forgot about that."

I'd replaced some of the poker tables in a community lot with strip poker tables.

"Why do you keep getting in your fiance's brother's bed to relax with him?!"
*Clicks her to do something else and she ends up back in the bad relaxing next to him*
"You know what screw it... You're doing this all the way then"

I took it that she wanted to cheat so I made them have an affair... Oops 🤣

*ETA: Buck Grunt is engaged to Jill Smith and They were rooming with Ripp Grunt. This all happened while they were in college together. Think I'm gonna roll with this story lol*

That's a good one. I hate when they JUST.WON"T.DO.WHAT.I.TELL.THEM. Thus, this:

Frankie, why are you standing in front of the fridge screaming about hunger? I told you to get an instant dinner and drink.
Get an instant dinner and drink.
Don't just stand there whining; you have a baby on the way. Get one.
Oh, you already did. I see. You got it and put it on the floor in front of the fridge.
And now you're too stupid to drink, so you just scream about it.
Okay. Makes sense (to someone, but not to me)
I'll pick it up this time for you, but I swear if you weren't pregnant, I would just let you die.
Yes, I would! I've done it before.
Fine. I'll max motives.
Stupid pixel

YES, DARN IT, YOU!!!! (Another Sim doing the "Who, Me????" thing).
(Neighbour at my door - wants to know if I am all right)

My neighbors couldn't care more about me, it's my cats I startle.

“...Go do your homework, please.” Defeated sigh.

This town is full of teenagers and ACR hates me. I keep forgetting to set autonomy off for new sims.

That's one of the things I use Macrotastics for: "Macro-Do Homework". That's also a great help if they decide to ignore the Desk localizer and hide their homework somewhere on the lot...

I use this mod by Moghughson to assign each kid their own desk. There's much less chance of homework getting lost in the yard somewhere.

http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=312004

If by desk localizer you meant, the mod by Mog that RoxEllen just linked, if they ignore it there is a reason. The slot you are asking them to depose their homework on is unavailable to them. Re-think your arrangement.

On dates - You both have the want! Why are you still refusing the interaction!

@Portaller No different to real life, you may want something but still be afraid to go do it.

"Well, there goes an entire morning's work...and several hundred dollars."
Or so I thought. I tried out simlogical's auto restock sign and was disappointed to find that it had restocked a shelf full of toy robots with...nothing. And they were no longer in Julia's inventory either. However, once the shop was opened for the day, customers began buying the "nothing". One of them was a playable, so we'll see if it was some strange case of invisible robots.

"Uh, no, he's a bit busy at the moment."
Gabriel got abducted and shortly after his little niece called asking for him.

"So, when am I about to start glowing and making funny noises?" - While working on my novel, I managed to get so into it I went fully stream-of-consciousness. This is probably what Sims feel like when they get into the Zone. I love it when that happens!

"That's not resting Irma."

When Irma came home from work I got a message that she had the flu. I forgot to pause while I was dealing with my cat's water and when I came back Irma was riding the exercise bike.

"Well,you're a jerk". After Mr Big stole the newspaper from my homeless family's "home."

*Don't you throw that away! NO!!! DO NOT THROW IT AWAY!!!! Hey!!! That's a full plate of fried chicken you moron..Think about ALL the little sim children who have nothing to eat...*
Ok, F** it, Control Pet..on...

Control Pet? Your dog was throwing away your food? XD

No dear, my sim's roommate.

You think AL roommates are stupid? Try dragging around a guest to the BV vacation destinations sometime.

"Stop whining about how tired you are and get in one of the beds! This place even has a hammock out on the beach!" (Vacation guest ignores all the comfy places to sleep and continues bitching about their low energy bar...)

I once had a BV guest stay in the hot springs until they got burned. I had to make them selectable to get them out; even calling them over didn't pull them out. As soon as I deselected them they went right back to the hot spring.
