Tip of the day: Instant meals save Sim lives!

Sims can't fall asleep while having them, so they can be used to get Sims out of the dreaded hungry-sleepy loop

Alternately, can put pizza slices in inventory of pregnant Sims and pull it out to save a trip to the fridge

Tip of the day: Make a humanoid servo with SimPE

Using SimPE, open the character file for your regular human sim, and find the OBJD. Then change Original GUID (not GUID) to 0xD07B9CE9

This will flag it as a servo and give it all the functions of a servo while retaining the original human appearance.

Don't do this to pets unless you want to crash the game

Tip of the day: Copy the character files from multi-PT mods into the characters folder!

Or any other character files, like Bonehilda or Multi-Ideal Plantsims

This lets them appear in SimPE and also reduces the risk of misplacing the character files

Keep copy of files in Downloads if you want to use other neighborhoods though!

getting ableist insults for asking "stupid" question 🙃

I ask a "stupid" question on reddit (deleted now) of why something works the way it does, I try search first but the answers didn't explain the why and the AI overview's sources didn't actually say the same thing it did

The amount of ableist slurs I get for it, comments about my brain being smooth and ballot box IQ requirements and comments that I post like three year old (I have trouble with words after a stroke) and other stuff

I still don't know why they felt need to insult me instead of just ignoring question but it was ugly. Also don't understand why people come to subreddits for answering questions and get mad at people for asking questions

Proof of Concept: Calibre to organize non-books

This is experiment I been wanting to try for a while: using a Calibre library to organize my 12gb of zipped Sims 2 mods, currently kept in a Category/Subcategory/Creator/File folder structure.

The upside to the folder structure is multiple tags, quicker finding of things, and also able to add additional metadata like links. The downside is having to access it through Calibre, and also manually adding all the metadata (latter will probably be the reason I not take this further).

I still not sure if it's better than folder structure. Maybe equal.

If anyone wants to try this for themselves, my suggestion is use the GetFileName plugin. I use to import original name and date which is then copied to the Calibre date column.

ELI5: Why is it easier to scoop ice cream after running the scooper under hot water?

There's trick of running ice cream scooper with hot water to make it easier and also not stick. How does this work? Is it the water, heat, combination of both?

The duality of 4t2 conversions

Love how conversions of Sims 4 stuff either looks like something from TS2 itself, or sticks out awkwardly like a sore thumb.

Well this is silly: Hearing and Speech NS only takes phone appointments

This is on the front page Hearing and Speech NS, which as far as I can tell is the only provincially funded clinic for speech. There's an online form, but only for non-English/ASL speakers.

AI call from MADD Canada

Just got a random unsolicited call (I waiting for several medical referrals and they often don't leave messages) from MADD Canada, or someone pretending to be.

I could tell it was AI because they always fail to comprehend my poststroke speech- even "hello" had it ask me to repeat, lol. And then it just gave up trying to parse my speech and went on a spiel about safe driving and MADD needing donations and I just hung up.

Bad look, MADD.
