These are the same item. So Sixam's set is really just 5 items. Which brings it to 3x the price of a kit.
”can I copy your homework?”
ea: “yeah fine but don’t make it obvious”
”thanks, it’s going to be 4$, I’ll get only 1$ back”
The amount of assets per $, and majority still going towards ea anyways for this 😐
If Joliebean's earrings are involved, Oakiyo either stole from a friend, or simply collabed behind the scenes on frankenmeshing existing CC (which I'm pretty sure is also against the terms fo the marketplace, to reuse existing CC)
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
lol. lmao even
Pretty sure that the shorts in the short ensemble are this item
bingo
yep that'd be it, same pleats in the same places
the top is also an EA mesh on that one
Yeah
it's all EA meshes. if you look at their catalog of CC, it's all EA meshes in general
I wouldn’t care for free cc but paid is 😐
Yeah. I wouldn't care if it was free CC. But paying for recycled meshes?
yup
yk how much we gave our opinions over R&L reusing assets- this is uh.. 
Especially when it's almost a kit in price
Per item yeah
is it possible to report marketplace content lmao
"Hey FYI You totally missed that this is charging people for stolen meshes from your own game"
They gave them the okay and was like “oh this fits with our style guides.. because its literally our assets”
let me ask the audience ... @- !
ea approved a few life and death items that had giant hate symbols on them so they are capable of missing obvious things
wait wat
I must've missed that lol
two different life and death items had giant hate symbols on them, one was a set of island counters placed in a square (I reported that one, it was removed fast) and one was a rug (replaced in the last update)
And the K symbol pattern shirt like no one said anything 
oh yeah the shirt that says K K K K K K K all over it
Not just base game, most are from paid packs 
lol WHAT ??????????
i missed that entirely
oh my god
Or getting called out while representing a whole culture in Snowy Escape while missing the symbolism of the sun

no like what is this 😭
they have access to a library of base game stencils, which i believe are used primarily just for the tuning and some other behind the scenes. the meshes are separate and made by the creator. all sims 4 assets are easily extractable through s4s, which is how they get the models
all the "base game" part means is they can't make items that use pack specific tuning eg pet clothing
"stencils" are just "base items", like "shirt" or "counter" or "chair" or "sofa"
in the actual process of making the items they can do anything they want. But they have to make an item that fits a "stencil". SO they can't make "business check in stand" or "bubble blower" or "playground slide' as those are pack-locked, functional items
they can open S4S on their computer and steal whatever models they want and get away with it, apparently
it also lets them reference the model for something like a couch to see how high it should be, as if any approved creator is not already using s4s LOL
which is especially hilarious because when submitting items to be approved for the program, they specify you must have rights to
any data submitted in the 3D modeling file
oh! LMFAO
Also pretty sure that the jacket for the shorts fit is this incheon arrivals one (the shape seems to match, just with the lower button lowered further, and the basegame turtleneck as the undershirt
The basegame turtleneck's wrinkles match exactly
Oh nevermind, the jacket might be something else that I don't own now that I look at it on the cover, but the undershirt is definitely the basegame turtleneck
The lapels are different.
Omg you're right
i totally forgot but they do make clothes too, looked at their stuff just now (i've just personally only been after the hairs)
oh wow yeah
Identical 😭
it's fine when it's for free, but paying for it on the marketplace 
good lord
i didn't think marketplace could get much worse but that's on me
im giggling. what on earth
Yeah, but it's just the small rip replaced
you’re giving EA 5$ for fake currency and can only use 4$ worth for a pack someone to straight up rip assets from other packs 😐
there has to be a way to report this
check #ts4-general
not even a reference, or inspired, its straight up ripped assets
it's on EA, they let this pass
I mean, they gave a pass to themselves for reusing stuff 
a lot of times at that lol
Pure Platinum says he'll pass it along
Luckily we sourced all the complaints here with picture proof down to the exact items lol
this is just embarrassing
It's all extremely embarrassing, that whole MK.
Just realised that the skirt in this is also using the Incheon Kit's skirt bit, just slightly enlargened.
like damn we all love a bit of incheon arrivals... not enough to have two of them tho
top half of that one is also an existing item im 99% sure
Trying to place the top bit of it rn, it's also extremely familiar.
at this point, literally every item in this pack is an EA item smushed around. completely shameful, and it's shameful EA didn't catch it and call it out
i dont expect everyone vetting this content to have encyclopedic knowledge of what's in the game of course
Yeah, but they should still check what's already in the game when they vet the content.
we cant expect them to compare everything to everything, thats only possible through crowd outrage and thousands of hours of autism-fueled playtime
but when EVERY ITEM is like this it is a bit strange nobody noticed even ONE and thought HMMMMM
Some of the maker kits stuff is good, but the whole functionality of the marketplace and the lack of real value (plus a bunch of other stuff that others have already said) means I won’t be buying any of them.
@narrow narwhal This is a small business-
Im not sure hwy it loaded in busted lol but it has 5 activities and you can set customers. That's about the gist of it. You can chang ethe activities whenever youw ant if you're running it. As a visitor the activities are what's set- but you the player can do anything you want anyway. But other sims at the lot will do those 5 activities,
But this is a custom venue-
I told this one to have a Mascot, who is told to dress in mascot clothes, a random kid, kids who are "from another nearby birthday party", teens with certain traits (cringe and childish, I think), playground kids, a custodian, noisy teens, and chaperones for the birthday party kids
Then for each hour of the day, you tell it which of your custom roles shows up and does what
So at 8am i said "playground kids come, and teens come play arcade games"
Then at 11am, playground kids and teens are here, but kids come for "another kids party" with chaperones
at 2pm the mascot shows up
At 5pm most kids are gone, but one kid stuck around with no parental supervision
This looks so much more interesting than the business and hobbies pack! Can you customise the venue to only allow spellcasters or certain occults like the club system?
At 11pm the kids all go home and teens come party on the roof- but that kid without his parents didnt go home
And this all plays out automatically when you visit. You can even choose which specific sims are in each role, so I can make the custodian one sim all the time, or hte random kid one specific ugly kid around town, or whatever.
Then, you can also plan a getaway here, if it has beds, and stay any number of days you want.
(the names are differnet in the normal game, i made a mod that sorts them better)
You can customize the outfit too. So you can make a "Magic Student" role that wears specific robes. And a "magic teacher" role that wears different robes. And a "magic janitor" role that wears a bath robe
If you want a magic school you want AA lol
granted i do not think there's any specific "learn magic" style interactions, but you can pretend pretty dang hard
note that my spellcaster role there also has using cauldrons as an activity
so you could make 11pm the cauldron "class" and everyone heads over to a cauldron and messes with it
then 1pm is "chaos magic practice" and everyone practices chaotic spells
only issue is you cant define where they do interactions like that, but you can "call getaway sims here" at any time and send your playd sim to the "designated space" and call them over. Or put other objects in the room that you ALSO want them to use at that time and they'll gather.
This is perfect! I can’t believe they didn’t add something like this for high schools years though.. I think you’ve changed my mind now 😂I’ll just have to make do with the terrible cas
It's literally built-in modding tools to make custom venues, you definitely want it lol
Here's my space camp
It's insanely powerful
and as i said i have explainer posts in the link in my profile if you need more insight/examples
Thank you! Love the space camp too 😂
it's in the save file on my profile link too, you can download it and try it out to learn how the system works if you need to
AA is the most impactful pack ever released for the entire series IMO so I am more than happy to explain it to people lmao
always wait for sales, adventure awaits is still i think 25-35% off tho
other EPs (excluding royalty and legacy) are 50%
(when sales happen)
so from 40 to 20
def did something wrong 😭
is this in reference to what I posted?
bc this is not a recolor ...this is me messing with shaders
ntm this is a rando cas sim, she doesn't have cc
no, its in reference to oakiyo's TOU saying "dont reuse my stuff" while putting up a paid maker set on the paid marketplace that's entirely made of reused EA stuff
yeah.. very.. attractive.
the jokes write themselves 
i got bored and turned Agnes Crumplebottom into an infant. grumpiest baby I've ever seen lol
oakiyos stuff is good because even if its frankenmeshed, its free and looks good enough
her making it paid is... a choice
a very bad choice 😭
i should've waited to make a video, i made a short on this and would've used that lol
I would. 😂
Wow, that stare. I hope Agnes doesn't have a small purse hiding anywhere. 👜
Hair is stolen too, movie hangout stuff
I added your image to my post about it on patreon @gusty arrow
Also learned how to make images on patreon take up the full width of the post and zoom in lol
I wish the CMs didnt get upset about being pinged because man, Cade or somebody needs to be shown this image directly. There's no way this is okay.
The one dev who's here all the time, name starts with M, I forget. They need to see this exact image, it's unbelievable
I wonder if they even have a process for this. like what do they do? Will they refund anyone who fell for it? Will they put out a notice if it's removed? Will they say why it was removed? Will they even remove it?

Thank you cosmegos!
Just saw this and got jumpscared- I thought this was an ad for a new sims dlc
It’s got that maxis style
this is so genuinely insulting
Bring this back again so people can see
Sometimes when you're messing around in CAS, you can have a happy little accident (and create Nando The Tentative)...
it looks a lot like the incheon arrival full body skirt
like the flow of it
i only noticed it because it's one of my favorite outfits lol
so have seen it a LOT
yeah 😑
Awesome job
Claire what’s your thoughts on the new maker kit we’re discussing? 
Aw, thanks, not quite as low-key as your Loki, Nando's a little more blatant.
I love What We Do In The Shadows
Yes, that is an excellent show.
I wanted to get that kit! Oh well too late 
I watched it 3 times
Not ashamed to say I've watched the first two seasons (my faves) 8 times. 🫣
Nice
Do you have a fave character?
Definitely Guillermo
I'm sure you can guess mine.
Nandor
😁
😆
Have you done any Guillermo artwork?
Ahhh! That's amazing. 💚
Thank you
Thanks for sharing. Wow, you are great with portraits.
I appreciate it. I’ve been a portrait artist since the mid 90’s
That's a good long while still to capture someone in so few lines, wowee.
That's quick. I was never that fast.
😆
Well, I'm off (kitty to feed). Thank you for sharing your artwork. I'm now madly in love with your Guillermo portrait. 😍
My WWDITS art I made into cc
My sims are decorating the tree again! Nothing but a nice generational Tradition passed down for centuries!
They did a good job 🥹
my sim had twins
The incheon one and the Get Famous one share a mesh. I don't have Get Famous, so I used the Incheon one as my example
👍
Double crying, double diapers, double cuteness
Congrats! 🙌
They're all amazing. 🤩
That's sweet. The last time my Sims decorated the tree, it caught fire when they turned on the lights. 🎄
Thank you
ye every outfit int he oakiyo spring set (all 10 outfits) is frankenmeshed from EA
also
some of the jewelry pieces
are oakiyos CC repurposed
that's not allowed 😬
mhm
hey thats me
ur famousss
gulp my notifs being blown up
lol
our little diva is getting recognized <3
lol
but yeah, im fine with cc creators doing that kinda stuff
when its free content
but taking ea assets, taking YOUR OLD ASSETS, then putting a 4 dollar price tag on it
is ridiculous
the old assets is like directly against the programs rules too 🤷🏻♂️
definitely! i like oakiyos stuff overall (since i like maxis match and this is clearly all maxis stuff) it's just not ok to sell it
ye
i love when cc creators do addons for different packs.. but again, can't sell that stuff lol
ye
i just want a clear answer on whether this is allowed or not 🤷🏻♂️
im sure if they see it, they arent gonna care unfortunately
seems like it :/
even if they reuse assets, it just means money money money
so why would they not allow it :/
Nando loves aerobic exercise. Being dead is no excuse to let yourself go...
lol

🍅
huh
it says it should be unique
which would of course, imply that theyre using third party tools to ACCESS the dlcs
asking a consumer to pay twice for the same content is unethical
It's too bad you can't visit each other's spaces in The Sims (like you can in Second Life, for example). I would love to browse your work in an art gallery setting. Not that some of the build/buy artwork isn't charming. But the museums and galleries could generally use a makeover. 🖼️
Yeah that would be epic, I made a ton of cc paintings over the years, I made a few sim museums dedicated to my art
I recently made this small business cafe/gallery with my art cc
I put my cc up on Curseforge
This is wonderful! Great work!
Hey thanks, I think I made like 300 cc so far of my art, too much to display in one building, but I love making my portraits into sims wall hangings for sure
I imagine it's a lot of fun to bring your work into the game and put it up (to be enjoyed by all the Townies). I'd like to do that at some point, too.
Yeah totally
This is an amazing way to share and display your own art! 😍
well thats not right...
ohh dear
time to dive into my cc to see what the heck happened
Thank you
her head has returned
Idk how a dirty plate of food got there and no matter what I do, I can't take it out
check my bio 😁
anyone know what happened here? its a baby my sims adopted from the pandasama abandon baby mod
Bicycle...Bicycle! Literally...
Looks like you've adopted a punk rock baby. 😄
CC hair overlay texture?
What is this from though?
she aged up with it but it’s not on anything
like she had no hair on no skin details on
nothing
Weird.
how do I stop my sim from constantly drinking water ⛰️💦 in Snowy Escape 🗺️
This is what I call "a cat life"! lol 🐈🤣
So cute. 😂🙌
The more I see these screens, the more I want to be reborn as a cat in another life lool 🤣🐈🐈
Funny enough, I was thinking the exact same thing! 😂 🙌
talk about living the good life 😂
aww just noticed his cute little bow too
That cat is living its best life 😍
Yup, and also surrounded by cookies and pastries xD
Thank you so much for these adorable figurines of me and my wife from Shawnee and The Sims team as our wedding gift, we love them and will always cherish them
Thank you!!!
My goodness those are so adorable! 😍😍😍
Yeah I’m overjoyed
what a cute wedding gift
and congratulations!!
Ty
That's so cute 😭❤️ and congratulations!
Tysm
Aw, that is so sweet. Congratulations!
Completely adorable.
I feel so lucky
So much better than a set of towels or wine glasses.
Totally
They should be at every anniversary now.
what did #announcements mean by "bad actors"
Some people were being bullies and posting awful things
yikes
Hello
Sul Sul!
I’m definitely designing bedroom first gotta have that Queen Cordelia bed 👌
Sul Sul hope you’re having a good day
I love designing gaming lairs as a necessity for my home. I like having all the high tech gear, and i especially love using the comfy gamer kit for this type of room
I spend most of my time in bedroom IRL, I consider it to be my safe space.
So, I would need to pick an amazing, over the top bedroom.
Sul sul !
Good morning, send care with love from Thailand simmer by me
Hope everyone doing well
bella for my save file to celebrate pictures being back lol

Your Bella looks so regal! 
she of course had to be willow creeks mayor!
She looks so good!
thanks Draya!!!
Using seasons I may have to add an additional prank day just so I can trick as many people as possible with the buzzer!!!
Could you imagine two prank days back to back!!
😱😱😱 might have to change it up and get High School years so I can have regular prank day, then city hijinks festival THEN teen prank day
Crazy amount of mischief in one year lol I’m here for it
My favorite pranksters in my legacy (even Capps!) 😜
Happy April's Fool!
Love that there's several pranksters in your legacy!
this exclusive painting was really hard to find, truly one of a kind 
Nyon is my favorite, he mastered the sublime art of the voodoo doll 😆
HEHEH
YES
Love ittt!

The titanic Bobaboo!
ikr!! 🥹
we are at rocket reef!
ooh rocket reef 
our son!!!!
they blew up the lab but luckily bobaboo is okay!!
its so much fun having him here xDDD
Finally! I now have to post this, since yesterday of how I can’t post my picture.
chicken nugget
cool cc
omg haha
My Cursed build for April fools, this would be a very embarrassing and annoying house to live in, you can't even access the second floor
Looks like Loki's been showing up at the club, he set the dance floor and celebrity Thorne Bailey on fire, Thorne is okay, just a little burnt, and the club goers put the dance floor out
Thanks! They’re like the sim versions of the Teletubbies. I wish I’m good at modding just cause I wanted to create a pinwheel-shaped magic windmill. But you know what? I’m no good with modding very much in my life. Believe me I tried.
That was my favorite childhood show when I was a little baby
I would love to have them running around my Sims 4 world. it would be so funny
havent been able to play sims at all for over a week due to a school project, but after the stress of the assignment and the absolute terrible last two days dealing with some cat health stuff im gonna allow myself to decompress before getting back to homework. made one of my sims a twin sister who's... definitely more mischievous. looking forward to playing with her tonight!
I got my screenshot!
And hey can we make this a permanent feature (it’s toggleable right not keep it that way forever) ???
I would genuinely like the EA app (very slightly) more if this was permanent
I agree. 😁 It would be awesome if you could view it in Simlish forever.
@storm orchid
Thanks for the heads up!
Of course
Look what I bought
I wanted to get one other Sims 2 game specifically the Sims 2 pets
But, I'm sticking too these two for now
I'll buy the Sims 2 pets at a later time
And I could have bought My Sims Party for DS too ugh
I need more Sims ds games PLEASE
Oh that looks like fun!
I just remembered I have a new phone which means I have enough space to get Mysims on Arcade 😁
The gift Shawnee and The Sims Team got us was truly perfect, it made me feel understood and it felt very moving. It made me feel seen and known. It’s exactly the kind of art I love most, playful and charming, utterly unique while showing who Rose and I are as a couple in a most flattering way. I admit after receiving such a spectacular gift I spent the day crying because I was so very happy and awe struck by how truly beautiful the gift was.
Nice picks. 🙌 You’ll have plenty to do with those two already. 😆
Mhm
Castaway is so much fun. I didn't have it for the DS, just the Playstation but I remember it being great.
This is so sweet 🥹 I am so glad you loved the gift!!
The frog has discovered a personal gripe: The knobs on the S. Cargeaux Counter's endpieces are not at the same height and it's driving me insane.
lmfao oh no
Yeah, I deeply appreciate it
ok this doesnt count but #music doesnt have image perms yet LOL
Olivia Rodrigo album 3 officially announced!!
pretend this is in #music :p
that’s so ridiculous
and we appreciate you! 💚
Lol I love the name of it
I am excited!!
i doubt this will be her "rock" album now lol but im still anticipating it
she could totally lean into pop rock for an entire album and im down
I appreciate you too Draya you’re always friendly
can’t post these in food so pretend my sims made this with the tea time solarium kit 😂
afternoon tea in Redcastle, Co Donegal, Ireland from my trip in 2021. fully gluten free spread
soup? thats a first. looks soooo good tho hehe
how am i supposed to eat soup with my fingers 
i think you drink it?
it was in a CUP! XD i sipped it im pretty sure but they did also provide utensils
i was delicious. im not sure if the soup was because it was just an additional gf option or what but i was living my best life
i also had an irish gf afternoon tea and i was half tempted to ask where they got their bread. its so much better than what you can buy here 
probably, filling the scones void </3
but yeah the soup was def not expected and im like positive i just drank it straight from the cup. and it was amazing.... tons of food.
they also had a crazy gf scone..... heaven
scoooones
LOL butternut squash soup is soooooo heavenly tho
!!!!
i was genuinely SHOCKEd by the gf options in ireland. the amount of places i could go and just easily eat gf AND i barely had to worry about soy.
last march when i went back there was a pub in wexford that had this amazing gf shrimp tempure
that in a pub is actually shocking. usually unless ur willing to eat a thai curry, theres not much for us LOL
like goin to a PUB and getting gluten free shirmp tempura? like ok when i live there i may miss some things about us food but.... i will have OPTIONS for eating out
and yeah there are so amazing gf brands that do bread right
gastropubs love a good butternut squash yellow thai curry... is that all they teach in culinary school
but their mash is phenom so we cant be too mad
the pub was Katy Daly's... if i remember the spelling correctly in Gorey, Wexford if anyone ever ends up in that part of ireland
really fun vibe and great food
god forbid it's a roast dinner sunday though , you're getting mash and some veg
🫡 ✍🏻
id been planning to go to that pub before i left for my trip since i always try to look up places that have gf options before travel and literally 2 days before i left i saw they'd closed down. but then they were open when i reached Wexford and it turns out they'd just been bought by a new owner and closed temporarily while they changed things up. so my timing was perfect
omg u got so lucky
i rlly rlly did
only disappointment about the pub was the cute bartender who was clearly into me leaving before we could exchange numbers lmao
naurrrrrrrrr
gotta strike whilst the iron is hot
or whilst the bartender is hot i suppose
for real. im not like super confident with that stuff. haven't dated in... an embarrassingly long time so asking outright is not something im good at
worst they can say is no is my mantra LOL
especially if you're on holidays and will never see them again LOL
but considering he was into me WHILE i was wearing a mask... def a huge missed opportunity. i only got harrassed for my kn95 like once while there last march and it was some old man, but still always nervous about it
lol true but my plan is to move to ireland and ideally wexford (though that depends entirely on where i can land a job)
really?? how odd that someone would even comment on it LMFAO
good luck, and even better luck if you get stuck looking for a house in dublin HAHA
god yeah
ppl are very concerned with what others do to protect themselves during an ongoing pandemic... i think they dont like the reminder. but what i do is not hurting anyone and in fact does the opposite and is helpful so it's very weird
oh trust i hvae no intention of living in Dublin
even if i got a job there, id just commute. live in any surrounding country. i love dublin city but i know the cost of living in dublin is especially astronomical
idk i thought that was more or less exclusively an american thing, there was very little of that here
i want to avoid dublin and wicklow as far as costs go
everytime i have to go to dublin, i am thankful i dont live there LOL. its so crazy expensive
there are genuinely people who live and commute cork<->dublin with two 2.5 hour train journeys a day
i meant the weirdness around masks not covid LOL
yeah cork is a long commute for sure. my goal is to get better at driving. when i was in ireland last march i drove for like... 4 days. the roads were so narrow it was terrifying especially as a new driver
oh! im so sorry i misunderstood!
soooo many accidents on them in wintertime bc its impossible to see in the dark too 
but yeah the weirdness around masking is def strong here in the states but i did unfrotunately experience it in ireland. most ppl didn't say anything but i still got some looks. i do think to some degree the fact i use a cane sort of helps to keep ppl from saying too much though? like im visibly disabled so... not that it always encourages ppl to mind their business
literally my first day in ireland, i landed at like 7 or 8am. met my friend at the airport who came from belfast to meet me for breakfast. i'd had zero sleep, got glutened by the place we went to eat, and then had to go get my rental.
id had my liscence for like 2 weeks at that point.... and had to drive from dublin to mayo.
by the time i got to my b&b it was midnight... those roads were terrifying. i do NOT know how i actually made it
other than seriously careful driving
LMFAO what a trip omfg. you probs had a great nights sleep tho LOL
the driving test in ireland is magnitudes more difficult in ireland haha most people fail it multiple times
oh yeah i passed out lol
my poor host. she was this old lady and her whole family was up helping me figure out getting there cause the directions led me to the wrong place.
she even made me hot cocoa
oh yeah trying to use any sort of google maps for addresses here will immediately get you lost for some reason. eircodes are the only reliable thing to folllow LOL
what an angel tho omg
that's what ive heard! if i remember correctly my us drivers liscense is only good for like a year after i move? so id need to do it all over again which is perfectly fine with me.
when i was talking with some locals about the roads they were sayin they dont even like driving lol everyone assumed my issue was the side of the road but i actually had zero issues with that since the only time i ever actually drove in the states before learning last year was when i had a motorcyle at 19 and i only drove that for like 5 months tops.
it was just the narrow roads, the lack of lighting on them, the blind turns, and just how FAST you would be goin on these rural roads... also the round abouts got a bit much. some of them were fine but.... god some of them were rough
something like that, please don't get an automatic license though, you'd be so limited
EVERYONE hates driving on rural roads here LOL. so many people refuse to drive in winter if possible
it's the same in many places in the UK, or used to be. When I moved to NZ I couldn't believe how WIDE the roads were and streetlights just about everywhere
eayh def in my experience, the way that Ireland's roads are google maps just is not right for it. i was using the rental cars built in GPS to get to my first b&b and it was more or less okay, but then i was having issues consistently gettin it to work and give me the correct address so i did have to default to my phone's google maps which was ok
that's only in like the basically uninhabited areas, more established even rural areas are fine with google maps
i have heard this a lot. im very nervous about manual but as long as im able to learn with a good teacher ill def learn. but i think with disability ill probably end up sticking with manual. i think it'll be harder on me mobility wise to do manual
(I was looking for sims-posting pics)
this is the new general chat haven't you heard
(maybe we should move)
LOL but no cooldownsss
lol, guess I missed the memo, but that's cool, this is an interesting chat
yeah that was my experience too lol
it was very back and forth between when my google maps worked and when it didnt on both my trips
i def think streetlights are a must for safety reasons but i do think we need to redesign them to limit light pollution
sorry we dont have photos allowed yet in #food so i shared photos of my afternoon tea spread from a trip to ireland and that led us down this rabbit hole
for sure, I just moved to the suburbs and it's daylight all night lol
oh dw ireland has smog and light pollution <3 the best of both worlds, we have the industrial revolution asthma levels
the food looked delish
they only required smokeless coal in 2022
lol the air is still much cleaner there than the US. when i was in ireland both times but especially my first trip the air was infinitely better than anything in the US
it wa samazing!
in the city too? thats interesting to hear
i def prefer the rural areas of ireland where it's just dark and quiet but i like the cities too
like 10% of ireland as a whole has asthma
not even taking into account the cities haha
yeah even in the cities though the diseal fuel is def strong lol cities are obviously not AS good but i think by comparison to the states is really what im goin on
driving in ireland in march def was a different experience re: air quality for sure.
very concerned too cause i saw some news recently about ai data centers comin to ireland. really hope that gets stopped
I'm a country girl at heart so this is too much. Having said that we have very quiet neighbours so it's not too bad
haha no the governnment's priority is big business because all multinational companies set up in ireland for tax reasons
eeeeek i wouldnt be surprised. so many tech companies already planted their roots here so i guess it makes sense
glad youve got good neighbors. i grew up in cities all my life but def prefer the rural areas. just a matter of mobility for me so as long as i get more confident driving ill be good
although! the bubble is on the way to popping... soo
@ocean glen yeah it's really sad. ireland is absolutely gorgeous so to see those things prioritized is really unfortunate. the land needs to be protected not big business and definitely not tech companies that are just going to ruin not only the land but the communities
i literally cannot wait
good news, the land is protected by farmers lobbying to ignore emission regulations
boo
if only
like the land sustains life but only if we sustain the land... lets get it together.
either way, i wouldnt want to give up on fighting back against those things, not matter how hard the gov wants it. it's obviously not limited to ireland by any stretch and all land deserves and needs to be protected, but when i heard about the AI data center possibly comin to ireland i was genuinely so sad.
the? oh there's data centers all over ireland rn
i do really hope theres another wave of pushbacks coming their way. seems like people lost a lil fire for a while
ugh that's so sad to hear. i think the thing i saw must be a new one
unforutnate but not surprising. so many various things going on locally and globally. everyone's exhausted. but i def think keepin that fire lit is vital.
i used to be a lot more active but menal health, disability, and juggling work and now also school again.... im exhausted all the time. my hope is that when i move since i wont be in school and will just have work that i can do more and be involved and give back to the community.
completely understandable and yeah, a lot of people are probs in the same position as youre in right now where its just harder to 'care' (as much) and do more for it. i hope youre able to replenish some of that energy with a slower pace of living tho!!!! <3
i think i will. it was... definitely a humbling experience going back to ireland last march with disability. my first trip in 2021 i was much healthier and it was sooo easy to bebop around all of Ireland even without a car. i hit up 11 counties in a month in 2021 without a car and did soo much. but last march even with a car i only saw... 6 no 7... granted that was 2 weeks.. but i was absolutely wrecked afterwards adn did a lot less than my first two weeks in ireland in 2021.
but ireland is definitely more the speed i need in terms of living. obviously it has challenges and im not like tryna romanticize it, but compared to the US... ill take the challenges in Ireland over livin here lol
god yeah im sorry. ive had similar experiences in the last few years and it is soooo strange to genuinely feel that decline in yourself. it feels so unnatural.
i do think youll be able to build yourself up a bit though even without the weight of school and stuff on your shoulders and trying to juggle so much.
myself and my wife are looking to move Out of here soon enough LOL in the hopes of the same thing, a different pace and some new experiences
wishin you the best of luck! it's definitely a challenge right now for all of us but supporting each other (especially since we know the gov wont) is super important.
it's definitely frustrating and upsetting to like see how much things can change for us when our health takes a hit, and sometimes there's not much we can do but i do think mental health taking a hit because of physical health stuff could be so much less of an issue with the right support. disablity is so isolating.
where do you guys wanna move? based on our convo im assumin youre in ireland or near enough to it.
oh absolutely. even just knowing that someone understands can be a HUGE help to your actual experience. its a hard one and it sucks that its difficult to find that support :/
yeah we're in ireland! currently we're hoping to move to spain but we're open to changes if anything wacky happens over the next few years. i love ireland and would love to stay here if possible but its just too expensive now :/
ugh im so sorry you have to move due to the cost of living. ive heard that a lot and have been nervous about that. a lot of places are still cheaper there than here in the states but it's still a huge concern.
you dont have to say if you dont want but what part of ireland are you in? just like county-wise? curious since the cost for you has become so difficult. i know dublin is terrible and wicklow is mad expensive too. originally i wanted to move to wexford but im not married to any one place if i get a job elsewhere and find something more affordable.
spain sounds lovely though! i dont know much about the economy and such over there but i recently saw there's like an entire town in Northern Spain where the rate of celiac disease is so high the entire town has like pushed to adapt restaurants to be more gf friendly
Cangas del Narcea in No. Spain
yeah i think its mainly to do with just lack of accomodation. the gov literally cant keep up with it and exports/imports and everything getting more expensive is kindddd of killing us
im really hoping that changes in the next few years because its already such a big problem
lol ill dm u that one
but honestly anywhere more rural will be much more open to you, but then you have the other costs of transport etc etc so its a bit of a balancing act. anywhere west is usually cheaper but the gaeltacht areas are struggling with accomodation problems as well so again, a balance 
LOL really? i hadnt heard of that but omg lovely if true. we were there recently for holidays and ohhhhmyyyygoooood the gluten free supermarket options are just so much better than here and way more affordable too.
Im mainly hoping i can get a job more art focused there because it is a STRUGGLE here. thankfully my wife is in maths so she can do baso anything anywhere LOL
ill move my response to the dms then! let this be sims posting once again XD
i just created something...
😂
this is so cozy!
here's my contributin to the sims cleanse after that long chat! sims having a successful sit down dinner lol
Meet a random bird on a getaway, why not give them a gift and start a romantic relationship
That bird gives me Wee Sing vibes
food talk continues i guess ! LOL
Speaking of
I’m finally eating mmmm
Grilled chicken wrap and fries
With avocado ranch
Heheheh
everything seems to be going well
lol
now it's a party!
Oh my goodness rip 
i guess you could say the firefighter got "fired"
It absolutely was
Avocado ranch was dipping so the wrap wouldn’t get soggy
All crisp and fresh mhmm
And probably as unhealthy as a chicken sandwich from the same place LOL
But yummy regardless
😂 i didnt even think about that lol
Atlas (left) and Dante (right) were the sims that I had to spend a lot, but really a lot, of time to "adapt" to their real genetics. It was difficult at that time, since the genetics were very buggy, but the final results really satisfied me! 😜❤️
just hired a new babysitter. i'm sure it'll go well
so apparently adding Agnes to your household creates another Agnes. Infinite Agnes Glitch!
Agnes-ception
oh strangerville, i love you
Is wish is had it
awh teel </3 hopefully someone drops a code for u at some point
Is hope but is it not popular?
::( is like For Rent
stunning!
for rent is less popular cause of the issues it causes with the game. but the ppl who like strangerville rlly love it!
mmm maybe not so popular. but it is REALLY fun and has some really cool build buy
thank u doll!!!
Yes i see ::(
just caught one of my sims scrubbing the grill in the middle of the snow lol
Yes I heard and is look cool
Just another day in The Sims. 😂
Yep
Like the time I decided to turn Flower Bunny into a vampire, which spawned a second Flower Bunny. Let's just say Eggy Wegg was awkward. 😆
Awesome
Just caught our roommate Skylar rockin' some tunes on the air guitar...
I wouldn't recommend it. Flower Bunny will drink from your housemates without permission, stand outside in the sun, slowly burning for hours, all sporting that adorable bunny facade without saying a word. 😱
The real guitar being right there lol
Sure, you seem really cool too. 😁
I know. It's like, nah, I don't need it. 🤣
Wow, that's really thinking out of the box. I love the furry desk chair.
Yeah we got ourselves BJD dolls, but my life playsets seem to be compatible with them
I used to have such a thing for ball-jointed dolls, but it is an expensive hobby.
Love the setup! Very cool! 
Yeah I love doing creative stuff like that
I found good deals on Amazon for them
Ooh, don't tell me that, I'll be broke. 😅
lol
Have you ever painted their heads/faces? Or do you buy them finished?
I buy them blank and customize them, i sketch on them with sharpies
Cool. I did that for a bit, face-ups (as they were called, I think), but I was terrible with the eyebrows. It was fun, though. Must be even more fun scrapping the traditional way of doing it for sharipes.
They have faces already when I order them, i mostly sketch tattoos on them
Ah ok. Still cool.
😆
I'm way too scared to use a Sharpie on a doll. 🤣
lol I have no fear
I'm one of those timid artists. I used to look after kids as a job, and we were making macaroni art. I was making the TARDIS, and I took days to finish mine. The kids gave me an award for being the world's most tedious macaroni artist.
On the back, it said, hope it was worth it. 😂
lol, that’s cute
this is not good for business!!!
We really need a word on whether that's an intended use of the platform, to resell slightly modified paid ea pack content
Hi waffle you’re here
Btw the 600 moola coffee cup kit is now 500
This shows they can change the price of their own kits relatively fast
waffle is freeee
Which means any preexisting collection that people have argued are overpriced is ignored by the creators
Also the lowering of the prices, to me, signals sales are not actually great despite what EA says. When something sells well, you don’t lower the price of it.
the maker lowered the price of it
most likely due to backlash on price
icemunmun has social media and stuff and is on it a lot
Interesting. That means some of these creators are truly making no attempt to improve their value 🤔
i think pierisim lowered a value of one of their kits in the past, but that was like a week later
this new one implies it can be fixed like in a day
no wait
oh nvm nvm ye it was pierisim
Strange. Someone I directly told priced their content higher than a kit. Is the new price cheaper than a kit
(kit is 20 cents per item on the higher end)
To me the pricing screamed “only getting a 30% cut means we need to hike the prices up so we actually get paid” but idk 🤷♀️
If you raise the price to make a product worse for the consumer so you get extra of the money you wouldn't even normally get at all, well... 🤑
I want a big rose petal dress and a petunia petal dress and I’m starting to think I’m going to have to become a creator and create it if I ever want to see it 🤣
Tybalt's hand kiss hasn't changed in 30 years. Rather! 👀💘
i've decided to pose every fox that spawns like this for no reason
Morgyn loves this portrait I painted of them
My sim being stuck here😭 😭
Damn how'd u do that
I painted Morgyn with my iPad and Apple Pencil and modded the painting into an object recolor
Looks more like they're giving you the side eye.
Great art though.
Thank you lol
Ohh cool I do that w pics to, it's a rlly good painting of them
Ty
This is really cool and creative wow!
Yeah I love sketching sims and creating family history by turning them into in game wall hangings
@calm cairn my spellcaster simself and fairy sim self with miss kitty's sim self. she is always a very clingy girl in all my games just like real life lol
Oh cutie piesss!! 🥹
I love this!
more miss kitty for you @calm cairn im very proud of her. she looks so much like miss kitty
OMG I love it!!!
the little kitty sweaters omg how precious
I almost didn't see the puppy in the snow lol. Miss Kitty is a fashion icon on top of being a cutie patootie
the kitty sweater is my fave. she would NEVER stand for it IRL lol
i have so many screenshots of miss kitty riding the robot vaccum and of course i cant find any lol
oh this is one of my fave things that miss kitty's simself does when my fairy self is sleepin in their fairy house.. she waits outside the house for my sim and sometimes falls asleep waiting
some comparison photos too in case you haven’t seen her @calm cairn
I just love this entire vibe and how Miss Kitty fits into it
Oh it's the real Miss Kitty! What a beauty, a true queen!!
she is always a star at the vets. when i take her to any vet ppl are always doting on her and sayin how sweet and cute she is
she really does suit it so well! im hoping she makes it to ireland with me but if she doesn't at least we'll always have Innisgreen
She should start giving out autographs. I used to make my puppy sign cards with her pawprint lol
What a cutie!!
noooo that's so cute! im obssessed.
Sending you all the good, healing vibes 💚
It's her very own way of being a diva and signing things
i do want to get miss kitty's paw prints on something so i can maybe get them as a tattoo. id love a full portrait of her but that's more expensive so to start with something small at the very least would be nice and save for a pet portrait evetnually
we appreciate them immensley!
she's my sweet geriatric baby
this is such a cute idea. im def gonna use it
This is a cute idea! I wonder if you can get their paw prints in 3d casts like you can with baby feet
Please do!! She needs to bless the people with her autograph haha
ohhhh that would be so cool! imma have to look that up!
im sure ppl would get such a kick outta that. just like giving lil pawprint cards to vets like "thanks for taking care of me!"
My vet has a wall of cards! I don't think any of them have paw print signatures though lol
thats so cute. sign of a good vet id say! though it sounds like they def need some paw prints on the wall!
My ex used to sign cards to me from him and the cat, and drew a little pawprint next to her name lol
that's so cute
It was so precious 🥹
tragically i need to do the unthinkable: i need to get up, which means moving miss kitty off my lap... she's so comfy and i was at the office today so i know she's extra in need of cuddles 😭
Was she able to find another cozy spot?
lmao i simply have not gotten up yet
i need to take some meds of my own and do homework but she was snoring... how could i disturb her? i just put the vidoes for my pattern drafting module so at least im not like... doin nothin
Haha semi-productive!!
exactly!
she has also awoken so maybe she.... oh and the nshe put her head right back down. was gonna say i hope she gets up and tries to poop lol
Rooting for her on that journey!
since she did this literally right after you said it, im givin you credit for her finally pooping! 
im still gonna take her to the vets tomorrow because id like a game plan in case she gets constipated again but yay!
Oh wow, I’m actually honored 😂 so happy for her
happy too! thank you for the well wishes for her! saving her a lot of discomfort! 😄
cursed shell build, the house is inside out :]
I would really appreciate if the Marketplace stopped trying to advertise content that I already own. It's extra infuriating.
It's bad enough that it's giving me popups all the time as is, but for it to be something I already own is just insult to injury :C
That’s very cursed, I like it! 😆
This is such a great concept. The inside-out build is such a creative twist! ✨
I have the same complaint! Bad enough that every time I start the game I would have to click on the icon to get rid of the bright yellow dot. Now it's just every 5 seconds of a pop up I have to hover over. Really makes me not want to play Live Mode and just go back to building.
I'll make sure to note this feedback for the team.
Thank you so much.
I agree, it has gotten annoying enough for me I have just stopped playing. I love the game but my Autism/ADHD can't handle the constant pop-ups.
thanks! 😂 i had a great time building it
thank you!! 😮💨
The royal couple that cooks together, stays together lol
Bobaboo and me are gonna do rocket stuff
Nooo he doesnt fit across the bridge!
hold tight bobaboo im saving you
Woot, I bet he does. 😍
Heheheh
I noticed our roommate chilling behind the refrigerator. I didn't even know we were playing hide-and-seek.
i would get strangerville but my Sims world is strange enough with all the weird cc and stuff in it lol
whyyyy is he so cute 😭
LMAO but its sooooo good. it would add to the strangeness hehe
i love the 'check yourself out' animation sm
date night w the wealthy weirdo
ok i'll take until the next sale to consider it lol (i lack income and use what little money i have irresponsibly)
LOL so real
$10 a week is pretty good for being unemployed.
sometimes i forget to do the chore i get the 10 for so some weeks i get nothing
and with my irresponsible spending, it only lasts a day sometimes lol
Hello,
Thank you for reporting your concern and helping make our Discord a positive place to be.
We reviewed your report and didn’t take any action this time.
can you take a look at the ea message report system ty
It really would be good to get some clarity on why these scam posts are only classed as being against the Positive Play Charter some of the time. There is nothing positive about them. They are annoying to see, disruptive to channel topics and content, and are actively trying to scam users out of their money/accounts.
Every time I report those scam posts this is the response I get too. And then once, after reporting one I got flagged for abusing the report service. It's why I stopped reporting them.
🤣
im stuck dose anyone know what mod this is
one sec diva, gotta analyse this metal first x
and stay frozen 🧊 🔫
This is exactly how I stopped my coworkers from constantly hogging the stations
LOL they always seem to want to run to the exact station you have queued up
Yeeessss
Bobaboo canonlly picking up his bone to shake it, like hes stimming
omg hes so me coded
It's Easter, so here is a photo of my Sim asking Flower Bunny to "Just Be Friends". My whole household was enamoured with o'l FB even though we had no romantic interactions. We had to wait till the following Eggy Wegg to let them down gently. 🐰
Have you got any facial sliders or slider mods? They broke for Toddlers aaages ago and have to be updated.
i fix it
I put a bunch of random sims into one household for no reason
There's something very wrong with Roo... yikes!
That Jim?
Where did you get those robot feet!!! So epic!!!
Patient zero?
Indeed
ye
random ghost lady, The Almighty Jim Pickens, some void goblin, and a robot
it's Love & Robots Circle Boots
Thanks!
Are Sims discs okay here or no?
the who
What do you mean?
The discs like for the games
Probably ask in #anything-sims
No I was but I got a replacement
The new and the old
Oof, glad you were able to get a new one!
That's a well worn disc xD
||if you have Horse Ranch, Roberto Crinkletop is Robert Crumplebottom. He faked his death to leave Agnes||
This one always gets me lol
I love Horse Ranch for that little secret alone! and horses of course, they're so cute
though I've been playing with a new werewolf family lately
It's my favorite EP!! Curious to see your new werewolf family!
OMG gimme a minute let me go grab a screenshot
Yessss 💚
My favorite bb item easter egg is the I Was a Teenage Garbage Artist clutter item. I always listen to the song when I run into that item and I kept considering using it for my lofi girl entry so I listened to it a lot this week 😂
This is such a good one 😂
recently had bug with horse ranch where my sim gained the endurance skill... was very confused when i noticed the bar over his head.
he hasnt increased the skill in any capactiy but it's definitely still there in his skills panel
Just gained it randomly? Low key wish this would happen to me in real life...
😂
it was random but also not. he was supposed to be practicing barrels with a horse and the game glitched weirdly. ive noticed horses have been really buggy for me lately in general but that was def the more unique glitch
Teen son Tate and his new bedroom
but honestly, i would love to gain the endurance skill IRL really make up for all that i lost after becoming disabled
ohhhh i love those decals! assuming those came with werewolves
I can't even believe i have an actual Teen Wolf
oh yes part of the werewolf pack. you have that one or not yet?
not yet! one of the three GPs im missing (well four not counting Batuu lol). Parenthood, Werewolves and MWS!
rlly counting down to another complete collection XD
ive always heard rlly good things about the cas and bb for werewolves
The entire werewolf pack is a really good one for easter eggs! The lore is crazy, I just wish as you learned new things it got added to the notebook because it became a lot to remember after spending so long trying to find everything out
Ahh it's a fun one! I should get High School Years so I can really send this kid to high school! rabbit hole for the mean time
yes there is a LOT of lore about Greg
it's so fun
oh thats fun! im rlly bad at discovering sims lore when i do gameplay lol
that would be awesome!
hsy has my favorite build buy!
Ahhh I've heard it's very good so I'd like to get it soon!
honestly same which is why i kinda like the fables and teh other little side quests some of the newer packs have but the werewolf aspirations really guide you on the lore
it's super versatile so it remains top tier for me
I actually only recently cleaned up Sulani enough to unlock the turtle party thing
honestly though party is kinda lame all you can do is watch them
We did a qna which may be helpful if you want to check out more lore info #townies-and-lores-qna
but it was fun seeing the coral reef when you clean up Sulani enough, it looks even prettier
i know the sulani festivals exist and i think i stumbled on at least one before but i haven't looked them all up and actually made it to them yet
I love his room!
agreed about fables and the side quests. it's nice to like have those things to discover and have it be well-integrated into the game like that.
in general it's taken me a long time to really get the hang of gameplay where my sims dont spend all their time at home and only doin rabbit hole jobs and school. i still slip into that sort of rut though with my sims bein stuck at home when they have babie and are students in university though
Thanks! I know there's some blank space but not sure what else to put in there
oh thank you draya! ill def check it out when ive got the time! behind on schoolwork again. miss kitty may have pooped but we did still go to the vets saturday to talk to the vet so my weekend was not the most productive outside of that
i'm the exact same, my sims rarely leave the lot bc i tend to be so focused on leveling skills and careers and forget i can just leave the lot and focus on one or two sims at a time just having a good time outside the house
lol I am guilty of the same thing, with no open world I often forget that I can like, go to the library
oh that's so fun! too bad the party itself isnt the most exciting. i do feel like that about certain things unfrotunately in the game though like the enchanted mirror in R&L
A cozy couch and a bookshelf?
they are still cute though, glad I got to see it at least once
I hope the vet went well!
ooh good idea! are there any teen bookshelves?!
yes! or like the art center in san myshuno where sims can still skill build and also make friends so their social panel isn't only their family lmao
yeah it's... so easy to get sucked into those at home things. and it doesnt help the way time passes in the game and the way needs also need to be filled so constantly
YES that too free public easel! and the gym
omg yes it's just so easy to buy whatever your sims need and have it at home so they don't have to leave and i don't have to deal with a loading screen
for real. and sometimes the places themselves dont feel like there's enough to do to really justify leaving
yeah I usually just jog at home instead of the gym. the library all those skill books can be helpful though
it did! was finally able to talk with a vet without sobbing lol so i finally understand what miss kitty's current issue is which does help a lot in terms of planning her care and such.
sometimes my sims don't leave the lot bc i'm sick of seeing the same sims everywhere and it kinda breaks the immersion that they've gone somewhere new, like Judith Ward needs to stay home i'm sorry
oh nooo im so sorry 😭
ohhhh i always forget the library has skill books. i always just buy them lol
awww i'm glad she pooped at least
the library has WHAT
im too cheap LOLOL
Oooh that's good to hear 💚
oh heck yeah go to library, open bookshelf, all level 1 skill books
sims 3 was the same!
maybe I should have spoilered that but I thought it was common knowledge oops
@steel grove @calm cairn thanks yall! it's def been a rough week or so. im just glad we got her pain meds and have some next steps regarding minimizing her discomfort and hopefully keepin this from worsening. and hopefully she will NOT need to go back to the vets again until the 23rd when we go to the cardiologist
Rooting for Miss Kitty!
i rlly wish that sims were more... restricted to their home worlds more. like id be fine with sims from other worlds showing up here and there but it def breaks immersion like... how did you get all the way to Innisgreen from Willow Creek lol
yes! thank you! it's tomorrow! and i am so glad i get to work from home and sleep in. aside from having a ton to do im just exhausted
thank you! she and i both appreciate all the support!
omg yes!! why are there random fairies always knocking on my door, i love you but please we're in the middle of the city 😭
yay i hope you get to have restful but still fun birthday!
I hope you get all the presents you want!!! maybe even parenthood or wedding stories 👀
i never realized this but i also rarely have my sims read books
i feel like the fairies are everywhere
i have it set so they dont show up in fairy form outside of innisgreen cause i want it to be like fairies try to keep their fairy status hidden from regular sims... but then they go and start randomly floating in the air lol
wish we could set the other worlds to have like the same sort of thing that Ardmor has where fairies doin magic isnt allowed just for immersion's sake
it's a nice way to get started in the skill for certain ones where the objects may not be easy to access right away
knowing this would've really changed my rags to riches gameplay where libraries were for bathrooms and naps on benches lol
we'll see about the restful part but my roommate is gonna make me rice crispy treats and im gonna order some dinner from a place i rlly like. my one treat to myself since i cant afford anything else rn
competely agree, it can be a bit much
omg that's so funny I JUST made rice krispie treats yesterday
omg that sounds so nice! i hope you enjoy 💜
thank you! my roommates went to a con over hte weekend and brought me back some rlly cute stuff! some cardcaptor sakura prints and some naruto stuff! so that was cool
i def would not complain about getting Parenthood either tho XD
omg that's so nice!!
if reading was a skill in the game i would def have my sims read more... i do have them read like... the lvl 1 skill book but then i always forget to have them read the other 2 levels lol
they are the best treat imo
as a kid i hated cake. like i always wanted to like it but i just hated it and so for my bday every year my mom made me rice crispy treats
I make mine with peanut butter! I love peanut butter
yea it would be cool if reading had a bit more of an effect, like maybe a random moodlet from being well-read or even a notification with if our sim liked the book or not.
ohhhh i have never heard of that before but that sounds amazing!
my roommate is gonna do a twist with oreos which sounds good!
right? sims having a fave genre would also be rlly cool. would love for reading to just feel more... impactful and for reading and writing to sort of work together too
like two separate skills but to be a good writer you need to read so
yeah when you're melting the butter you just add in a big spoon of peanut butter and melt it all, then melt the marshmallows and then stir in the cereal last. it's very good
that sounds amazing. definitely will need to try it someday!
it's one of my favorites and actually pretty easy to make if you have a ceramic pot, it prevents the sticking
i do in fact have one!
ceramic coated cookware is some of my favorite
my mom was a genius when it came to rice crispies and not having them stick to things.
she had these metal molds in the shape of hearts and flowers that she'd use for them... idk HOW she managed to make them so perfect and keep them from sticking in there so well
and one year she made me a rice crips treat "cake" (no cake whatsoever) dyed pink in the shape of a giant heart.
it's very nice! very easy to cook with and clean. just gotta make sure to take good care of it!
i recently transitioned to some ceramic and stainless steel since it's healthier than the nonstick stuff
omg that's incredible! secret for the molding pan or dish is butter.
oh yeah no i know it's def gotta be butter but even as a kid when i tried it i could NOT get it to work the way she did.
yess I try to be very careful not to scratch it because that's the only time it can really have a problem
and the heart and flower molds were... so difficult to get the treats OUT of because it was tube as opposed to like a pan or something where you could tap it on the counter to loosen things
it was genuinely magic the way she could make them so perfect
I can't make my grandma's recipes just right and I accept that I never will, LOL
yup! same. the big pot i got came with its own spatula and i bought this rlly fun wooden spoon recently. i try to keep my pots and pans very nice. they are NOT cheap
sometimes it rlly is just about the title XD
Yeah I've been really careful with my last dish after I realized the old glass one was scratched. Now I'm kind of nervous to use it as it's not scratched really deep but still I worry about glass shards
glass casserole dish I should have said, that's what I use to mold my rice krispie treats
but now instead of waiting til they cool and cutting them with a knife, I cut them with the edge of the rubber spatula while they're hot. can't believe I never thought of that before. it works because they're hot and then I don't scratch the dish
oh yeah id be scared of glass shards too! you def dont want that. especially if its tiny lil slivers... yikes
I usually just put my rice crispy treats onto a baking sheet until they cool. i never mold them lol im so glazy. i just grab chunks off XD
that is very smart. i should be less lazy and do that lol
ahh I do mold them because sometimes I bring them to work so I need roughly uniform squares
our meetings at work every so often are like potlucks basically
that's entirely fair
i generally just make them for myself (and my roommates if they want any) when i want sweet treats since gf treats are harder to find and they are truly the best
They are very good I give that! I don't make them super often, I've kind of been trying to cut out the treats a little bit lol
tbh i havent made rice crispy treats in ages either though not cause im cutting things out. i just dont have the energy even if they are like the easiest thing in the world to make lol (though it IS easy to overcook the marshmallow and not put enough butter and end up with a rock hard rice crispy treat)
honestly though when i do get cravings i end up gravitating towards the king arthur gf box brownie mix. it's so good
I've got the proportions down, but actually if you do a couple batches, it's rough on my shoulder and chest muscles from all the stirring. my chest was actually hurting, it's crazy. but the doc didn't see anything wrong with my heart when I went last
I use 3 tablespoons butter and a big scoop of PB to a 10 ox bag of marshmallow and 7 cups of rice krispies.
though, those brownies are sounding good right about now LOL
glad there's nothing wrong with your heart! that's def a relief. i know i do not hvae much strength or stamina these days--my heart starts pounding goin up steps--so im glad it's my bday and someone else can make me rice crispy treats XD it's DEF a workout!
nice. idr what my ratios are at this point so ill keep these in mind for the future! especially since id love to try the pb rice crispies!
OMG same that;s why I'm trying to cut out the treats a bit. I walked up the 2 flights of stairs in our work building earlier today and my heart was beating faster and I was panting like a dog
they are delicious... and youd never know they're gf. king arthur def has some of the best gf mixes in the states
I'm like what the heck happened to me lol
honestly if youve had covid at any point especially multiple times that's probably why... a lot of folks are having these issues but not connecting it to covid unfortunately.
i know thats why i have the breathing issues and heart issues with physical exertion
that's good to know! Sometimes it's hard to find a good baked good. Personally I know I prefer the Annie's biscuits too , over the pillsbury
OMG I may have had it. That would make sense I guess
my dad DID have it and I was around him before he knew. I never got myself tested I just stayed home
unfortunately ive never had an Annie's biscuit. i did have pillsbury as a kid but i def prefer homemade which i am very good at making gf biscuits. they are fairly easy to do gf and i love to make variations like cheesy biscuits and sweet one stoo
oh I'm sure homemade is better than them all lol
well at least you stayed home! it's very possible you had it and were asymptomic. about 40% of cases are unfortunately. so youll be sick and spraeding it without knowing. and unfortunately if you are asymptomic it doesn't mean it's not doing damage to your body, it means your body isn't fighting the infection which i also see ppl not realizing so there's al ot of minimizing like "oh i had it and it wasnt that bad." or "i had it but i didnt have symptoms". it's not that it's not bad. it's that your body isnt fighting it and so it's doin all that damage to your body without you realizing :/
it usually is
though soemetimes there's something about like a box of idk kraft mac n cheese that just hits so good
ahhh that sucks. But I'm gonna try to make myself healthier if I can, I'm already trying to drink a lot more water and I'm going to try to eat healthier and see if I can at least get a little exercise to build myself back up stronger
6 years working a desk job so far too have probably made me weak without realizing it
I'm committed now no more kraft for me!
LOL, or maybe just a little less Kraft and a couple more vegetables are a good idea
oh yeah a sedentary job is def gonna take a toll! but just make sure to also listen to your body! dont overdo it!
😂
true I only am going to take little walks here and there . if you've got any ideas for how to make me like my vegetables that would be appreciated 🤣
you could do like mac n cheese with brocoli. as a kid i LOVED cheesy brocoli
ooh true.. cheese makes anything good
im a huge fan of veggies tbh so i could def give suggestions. are there any you already like?
honestly not really lol. some of them I can force myself too eat with not too much difficulty, others I can't even bring myself to touch really
I think my problem is around here everyone boils everything to heck and back
what veggies to you tolerate?
oh yeah that's... absolutely terrible
carrots, especially if they're honey glazed and roasted
green beans
corn
does potato count? I can eat that all day long lol
but in terms of nutrition I know potato doesn't offer a whole lot
brown sugar carrots are amazing. you should give those a go.
butter always makes everything amazing. toss some carrots with button and brown sugar and roast them and youve got a delicious side
Oh yeah that way is best. For healthiness I've been trying to leave off the butter and sugar but then I'm back around to forcing myself to eat them lol
potatos are more like a carb/starch in terms of the nutritional value but they still count and the great thing about potatoes is theyre filling and help give you more energy
yeah I thought so lol i know the green veggies are most healthy
i think if your goal is to eat more veggies then dont leave out what will make them appeal to you. because in the end you're just not eating the thing you need to be eating. it's healthier to eat the veggies with butter (or sugar) than to not eat them at all
you know, you're right that's a great perspective
maybe even I could swap out a bit of sugar for a little cinnamon, make some minor improvements
oh now I figured out why I got automodded lol
i was sayin but my comment got autobotted that our relationship to food is completely destroyed by the di et industry and the mass produced food industry. we dont have a good relationship with our bodies or the food we eat.
you should be aiming to not only eat good for your body but to also still have joy in what you eat.
my food philisophy is that food is a unviersal language--it communicates across culture and language barriers care, love, compassion, kindness, and community. food should not be punishment in any capacity, whether that's just not enjoying the food you're eating or restricting what you eat
oh? i was getting automodded too lol im never sure sometmes what the word is
LOL same I also hit the bot I was like ohhh that word lol
you could do sweet potatoes with cinnamom and nutmeg and some goat cheese. that's always super tasty
oooh i might try it , I'm not usually a fan of sweet potato but the goat cheese might liven it up
lol i had a feelin it was that word which like ya know what im not even mad about that
yeah that is fair i see how people could mis use
if you wanna message me in dms i can always share some recipes i think you might like there. easier to keep it in messages and then you can pin stuff to look back at it too!
ya I will DM
so i was curious what this was and why animal hats are deluxe
