new save routine?

kinda curious, but what is your typical new save routine? mine involves tweaking my nrass settings and stuff. ive kinda been wanting to explore adding more lots like a playground for toddlers and kids or a winery or resort. maybe even a dog/cat park. if you add lots for every save, what do you add?

features from the sims 4 you wish was in 3

just out of curiosity. sims 4 is generally a pretty unplayable game for me because im so used to the detail and vibe of sims 3, but there are still some features I see in the game that make me jealous. i love the cooking and baking options with all the appliances and I wish we had something like that. also i love the snowy world you can vacation to in 4.

edit: ALSO IM SO JEALOUS OF THE SPA PACK. getting nails painted and stuff. i love pretending in 3 getting nails done at the spa but the nails look the same.

idk how to feel about my job.

i just graduated with a marketing degree in may. i got a job pretty quickly luckily with a small business wanting to expand on their b2b marketing. i have no real experience other than class projects. no internship or anything. they were fully aware of this when they hired me. most days im just sitting at my desk without rlly anything to do and i feel like im losing motivation. i only rlly get asked to do busy work unrelated to marketing, or in depth research about things i'm not rlly sure about. the most marketing i've done is send out a couple emails promoting products (with copy and pasted text from my boss in a boring text format bc thats what they wanted). idk i feel like i made a mistake. i need guidance and for some reason i expected to get some with them knowing i dont have much experience. i feel lucky getting a job bc of how crappy the job market is so i dont feel like i can just quit. i just feel like i dont know what im supposed to be doing. does anyone have advice?

To everyone saying Petal is underwhelming and she needs a break to find her sound.

all i will say is that its completely okay to have opinions and not think its your favorite. everyone is entitled to an opinion. but i think some people saying she NEEDS to take a break and be more creative is wild. for me, i can see and feel the work put into this album. its her deepest darkest feelings in the limelight and its so much deeper than anything shes put out. definitely too deep to be over analyzing when it hasnt even been out for a day. its definitely different, that i can agree to. but i think thats so cool. it feels like shes in touch with a whole new side of her. unfortunately SOME of the people critiquing are exactly who this album is about. you can see how excited she was for this album and she is exactly where she wants to be.

My Version of Not So Berry Challenge!

hey guys!!! so right now im playing through a Not So Berry Challenge in my game! It's honestly so fun. I originally started with LilSimsie's version but changed it up a little to incorporate more of the expansion packs, as I have all of them. It's a work in progress and i change things a lil as i go but i think i landed on my official changes. some people have been telling me to share so i'm going to!

also i cannot stress this enough, ORIGINALLY THIS WAS LILSIMSIE'S VERSION, so some generations may be almost exactly the same as hers, or some are not even close and are completely different from hers. Gotta give credit where it's due!

Basic Rules:

  1. Each heir must represent the color of the generation (i.e. hair, makeup, clothing), but brightly colored skin is not necessary (these aren’t actually berry Sims, that’s the joke). This is optional, but it is a big portion of the fun.
  2. The colors of the spouses don’t matter as they aren’t part of the challenge. Unless otherwise stated you can do whatever you please with them.
  3. Every generation is supposed to complete both the career and aspiration of the heir unless explicitly stated otherwise.
  4. Name each heir something related to their color.
  5. Collect all heir graves and make sure you have them all at the end.

Generation One: Mint (Base game/Seasons)

You remember very little of your childhood, only scattered moments and feelings that seem just out of reach. The clearest memories are the quiet afternoons spent fishing with your late father by the water. Determined to preserve what remains of those memories, you take up fishing and develop a fascination with science, hoping to better understand the mysteries of life and your own mind. Everything you build is in honor of the man you never wanted to forget.

Generation Two: Rose (Base game/Seasons)

I LOVE THIS GAME

i've been playing this game for like 10 years now and it's still never getting old. i've recently tried getting into doing challenges cuz im def someone who falls into the same patterns with gameplay. its been so fun playing with features i haven't used in so long or just simply didn't know about. im doing the Not So Berry challenge rn with a few tweaks i added to the rules for more drama and im having the time of my life. the lore of my family is actually insane, and i think can genuinely be a book. im rlly just trying to survive at my full time job just constantly thinking about this 17 year old game.

good guy CC??

im guilty of rlly only ever getting cc for girls bc its so fun but im lowkey getting tired of all of my guys looking the same. i feel like no matter what the guys either are ugly or all look pretty much the same. is there any good defaults or cc that helps with guys faces looking more different from each other?? im also in need of some more guy clothes but the faces and hair are what bother me most.
