My mom burned water once, if it makes you feel better, @ihatemandatoryregister

And I can verify that I have a lot more trouble making boxed mac and cheese than I do making from-scratch. (I definitely don't have 10 in the cooking skill, but I probably make mac and cheese at a 10-point level, because I've used that as a base for most of my meals for over a decade now )

@Dawgon ....not even going to ask how.

Anyways, for days after a CC-downloading spree: "Now, why the hell did I download that?"

Honestly, same. I sometimes think "One day I will have use for this." so I keep it.

One time I burnt soup by completely forgetting about it.
And yesterday I burnt milk.

How do you /burn/ water?

"You stupid Sim!"

"Put. The baby. Down. Or I will kill you." (Drives me nuts when they keep trying to force yet another bottle on a baby desperate for a diaper change, or decide to bathe a toddler they literally only let out of her fourth bath of the day two Sim minutes ago.)

"Well, there's no point screaming at me. I can't pull your weeds (or clean your house) for you. That's why I told you to do it."

"Do as you're told!"

"....Why are you rolling a want to go on a date? You're already on a date, you stupid polygon poopyhead."

I'm less of a "Why did I download this?" and more of a "What is THIS now?" and "When did I get THAT?" kind of CC-binger.
Also: "Why are my roofs BRIGHT PURPLE instead of thatch?! What'd I do now?!"

And I'm guessing my mom evaporated enough of the water and burnt the various other stuff that was dissolved in the water? None of us could figure out how she'd managed it, and we were all there, so I dunno... lol

The closest I've ever gotten to burning water is letting the pot boil dry, so yeah.

I may have the only kids in this country who won't eat the box stuff. (But if your kids are going to refuse food, boxed mac and cheese, white bread and American cheese sandwiches, and sugared cereal aren't bad choices to reject!)

I don't think of myself as a ten point cook, but making a roue and adding cheese, or broth, or whatever isn't exactly hard. (Baked Alaska--not even going to attempt. Something with a roue--at least a couple times a week.) Gravy, mac and cheese, alfredo sauce, they're all basically the same thing.

@Sunbee I tried Baked Alaska once with a sim during an Asylum Challenge.

You can imagine how that turned out. I never tried it again.

Once I had two sims woohooing in a hot-tub in the kitchen (there was nowhere else to put it). In the background, you could see a third sim igniting herself trying to make crepes suzette. The firefighters showed up before the cutscene ended.

*hears an independent Sim calling for my help across the lot*

"Oh, for Pete's sake, Ben, I'm busy. Go get your own water."

I don't know why he does that if he's near a sink. His girlfriend needs to stop flirting with him so much. >.<

"Ef you Rags, get off my property!"

"If you don't stop trying to bother that sleeping baby, I will SMITE you and send your grave to a community lot that nobody ever visits!"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Don't woohoo in your teenage daughter's bed!"

"Put the plate down. NO, DON'T DO THAT. Put. The. Plate. Dow- wait, is that a grey hair? *pauses game* WHOA, IT IS. Now look here you bunch of pixels, I am your sim God. I even have grey hair of wisdom. You better do what I say! *unpauses game* ...Why do I play this game?"

I discovered my first grey hair in the middle of telling a sim to put a plate down. Best first grey hair find. I will forever remember that at 20 years old I found my first grey hair whilst mad at a pixel person not putting a plate down. XD

"Its been awhile since this last happened... Ugh"
-me after I spilled my most disgusting and odorous tea on my keyboard and mouse while playing TS2. Now i cant use my pc until I buy a new one. Goddarnit.
Ahhh~~ oh well...

It may be possible to save the keyboard. It basically involves disassembling the thing and dunking each key into rubbing alcohol; use cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol to get inside the board itself. The important thing is to make sure that it's completely dry before plugging it back in.

I used to work at a place where I was in charge of lending out the spare laptops. One of the accountants caught a lot of (good natured) shit when he had to borrow a spare because he spilled herbal tea on his keyboard (basically because he drank herbal tea instead of coffee lol).

"STOP HAVING FUUUUUUUUUN" - me, after the nth customer started ANOTHER water balloon fight in the front yard of the Tinkers' toy shop

"Wait. Why are you pregnant?" to Akira Kowalski. "You just have twins and your family lives in a house I nicely decorated". Other households can't say so.
She and her husband are on BC though.

"Then why are you buying furniture HERE?"

"Get your head out of the $&#* $&#* flowerbed, you MORON."

In my first hood, my Sims loved shoving their faces into cactus. I told this to my friends and now we often use the term 'cactus-sniffer' as a (joking) insult.

"What were the odds of that happening!?" *followed by clapping and laughing*

As my Simsona was coming out of her niche to revitalize Maxwell Mayfield, I thought to myself, "What are the odds his son will show up?" After giving him the boost, I also had her to clean up the burgers that grew moldy on the bar counter...and that's when William appeared. I'm pretty sure it was just luck with RNG choosing him to replace the most recent Sim who left the lot, right as my Sim was out in the open like that.
