Never have I seen a more accurate description of The Sims franchise.

Time to get spooky!

Happy Halloween Month! (This GIF is so 2013 it hurts)

I forgot how ugly the Ottomas twins can get because of face genetics...

ok but runner up? the burglar noise

it’s all fun and games until you hear that while playing at 3 am

the prank call messages you could get in the first sims game will by far be scarier than anything stephen king has ever written or could ever hope to write

I’ve had a Halloween/sims 2 pfp sitting in my photos folder for like three weeks and it’s almost time to change it

Sooo.....a burglar got caught on my Sims lot. Instead of getting the the police car, the burglar got in THEIR OWN car and stood through their windshield and drove themselves to the station....all while standing through the car with handcuffs on 😅😅

Finally! After *checks smudged notes* uh... way too long, I got around to starting round two!

Of course, everything in the Lothario-Goth household kept breaking, which made for a very frustrating round.

Some Jobs While Flunking

This mod, based on an idea by @pixeldolly, allows teens with failing grades to get and keep not-quite-labor-law-compliant jobs in Criminal, Slacker, Culinary, Gamer, and (since the teen jobs are more like construction) Architecture while still being barred from most career tracks.  This requires AL/M&G but should work without Seasons/FT.

Download it here at SFS.

Oh god I can just hear that loading screen music.

Also also! Curating your tumblr experience also means blocking stuff you don’t want to see! See something too often/that bothers you? Block it! Someone gets mad about it? Literally who cares?? It’s your dash, not theirs!

Maybe it’s because I’m still relatively new, but if you’re having trouble finding stuff on here then you’re probably being too specific in what does/doesn’t show up on your feed? Like, this community is wayyy larger than I imagined. Also, several have mentioned that it takes no effort to like/reblog, and that’s very much true. Not only does it tell the creator “hey, you’re content’s cool”, but (especially reblogs) tell followers “this person’s cool, check out their stuff!”

it’s 8am and i jus randomly thought abt this then i’m going back to sleep but it’s abt the whole simblr being dead thing.

simblr is a community which revolves around the sharing and “consuming” of other ppls content. And, as a community which has constant new content being shared, it’s extremely important to “consume” this content, especially in more literal representations such as likes, reblogs etc. A community can not survive on just content being produced alone, but in hand with engaging with others content.

all i’m saying is, is simblr really dead or are we just not supporting each other enough?

Ok, time to go work on schoolwork and be productive!

hi Midge, in your opinion what would be the definite signs of corruption shown on hoodcheckers?

Hello! There are innocuous explanations for pretty much all hoodchecker stuff... Missing character files are usually custom NPCs (most commonly PTs/ideal plantsims - I know some people keep a list of the custom NPC guids that they use so they can compare it and check for unknown GUIDs but I think if you had a genuinely missing character file you’d notice that in-game). Relationships with sims that don’t exist are known to happen through normal play and not be harmful. I’ve gotten memories with bad subjects due to bugs in Maxis’s code that cause certain memories to be added with the wrong subject or because not all memories were updated properly when a populated subhood was attached, and while it’s nice to fix those they’re not definite signs of corruption. I use hoodchecker less as a way to check if corruption exists and more as a way to keep my neighborhoods clean, in the hopes this will allow them to remain uncorrupted and playable for longer.

Also I know this has been said before, but while it’s good to be aware of and avoid the things that can cause corruption, set your install files (at least your most recent objects.package) to read-only, and run the hoodchecker every once and a while, some people seem to get overly stressed about corruption. A lot of weirdness can be chalked up to normal in-game bugs or mod/cc issues and isn’t necessarily a sign you need to restart your neighborhood. If your neighborhood is still playable and one you like, just keep playing it.
