Is it for a personal project?
Maybe write what you want to write to get it out of your system and then get back to it?
-# That works with me and my mesh
The problem with this hobby is when I get buried in things to respond to, like now
it instantly becomes stressful but ugh
I wish for shorter things to respond to
that's basically my problem
everybody just loads on the paragraphs and i feel worthless if I can't come close to matching
Eh. All im saying it that I can whip out 10k words without stopping when Im writing what I wanna write and then could struggle with getting a few paragraphs out when im trying to connect plot points ๐
nah, I like it when it's not long winded
Same with art if you do it long enough ๐
Do you like writing?
this
i like it when it's short blurbs
Consider flash fiction or short stories then
๐ญ
Have you tried fan fiction? ๐ค
i've been doing it for yeeaars...and no i dont like fanfics
I mean writing it
it just doesnt feel interactive enough lol
Ah
yeahh. i wish for more rpers on my level lol
I guess you just gotta find your people then
its very much a me problem, i just never feel good enough with these paragraph pounder-outers lol
If long rps arent your thing, look for people who prefer short rps
it's hard to know lol
Im assuming youre on rp groups, so you could just ask
How ๐
rp peeps are such a touchy bunch lol
by saying posts are too long or w/e lol and i hate dropping threads
i've lost friends due to this
Instead of saying "posts are too long" say "im looking for someone who prefers short, fast paced rps"
XD
i dont like fast paced either 
maybe im just burned out, again
i've been doing this for a few years straight
Maybe ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
Thats why im saying, try fan fiction
Its can be as short or as long as you want it, you have complete control over what happens and you dint have to think of anybody else's feelings ๐คฃ
i know i knowww
but what if i dont want complete control
lmao
i need help with plots and other chars
ugh i should stop whining about it lol
As somebody who's been writing fiction for a while, characters tend to have a mind of their own
Like, youre the one writing it, but suddenly characters do something unexpected
Its hard to explain, but writing isnt all about "thinking uo scenarios"
Its more like collaborating with the OCs in your head ๐คฃ
Well, have you even tried?
i wish he was real i mean LOL
-# Say hi to him then...
Idk, sometimes I come in with exact ideas about what I want a chavater to be, then I start writing and the character is like "okay, but I do this, k?" And I cant say no cause it fits too well so all my plans fail ๐
i will not get started messaging him even a hi LOL
the 'face claim' i mean XD
-#
Right
Well, maybe ai chatbots? Idk ๐คฃ
LOL
i aint getting addicted to that either
because i would and it was become a problem trust me lol
i need restraint XD
so i ban myself from ai chatbots
All im saying is that if you love dreaming up scenarios in your head, you should give fiction a try ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
-# Play LAD?
i like dreamed it in my head more than i like writing it XD
i just need to keep myself occupied/productive
otherwise i become brainrot for gaming lol
whats LADS
That otome game on the phone
might give you idea or maybe not
Oh yeah ๐คฃ
How about creating a comic?
Stick figures or literally inzoi SS would do just fine ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ
XD
๐ i'll think about it (ill probably stick to rp rip)
lol, thanks for listening to my vent
No problem ๐คฃ
Yeah... I dont have high hopes

hello
Canadian weather is severly bipolar ๐
it was snowing last week and we had a severe thunderstorm yesterday before it was summer weather. like... ????
Summer weather on Monday, winter storm on Thursday next week ๐
oh wow didn't notice the snow lol
eyy I have snow saturday
and sunday.
and monday...
reset my C: drive and now my taskbar is in the wrong place oof
Iโm gonna sprint to the corner store during the lull xD
Update: gf said she'll drop by the mall and pick one up for me ๐
Can she ship one over to me? I have a baddd hangover ๐
Yep Iโm in Ontario and that is true
tornado watch for Pittsburgh...sigh
theres a few severe thunderstorms nearby, seems like theres 60 mph winds
sure hope i dont lose power again...
cuz last year we had a storm like this and some people had no electricity for a while
A few years back, we had a very bad winter storm and most of the city lost electricity for almost a week in -15
yikes
We actually had those winds during that winter storm. They downed a whole electrical tower ๐
well i got an update on it now
so essentially like this
How is everyone tonight? I'm sorry that there's bad weather in the Pittsburgh area. Where I am, we are having very strange weather too.
It's been snowing a lot, and now it's going to be almost 70 this coming week. At the end of the week, it will be snowy all of a sudden again. I hope everyone stays safe
What you see here is a bunch of human braincells mounted to a microchip that are literally playing doom. So we might not be that far away from artificial brains ๐ค

good. mine is running into packet loss when I change rooms
its always DOOM
this is awesome and also scary xD
alright time to play silent hill
Can I see a pic of where you're at?
yes
after i dont die lol
bc its literally pitch black rn lol
im fairly sure its the prison
false alarm its not
im looking for that dumb kid lol
Ah Angela
and it's really dark
Gameplay, the scenery is pitch black
(i already know angela's deal) and yes it is XD
the only thing i dont know is what is up with her voice lol
she sounds like she's chewing gum through the whole thing
it kinda works though...she sounds out of it which gives it the 'off' vibe lol
๐ค Wonder if the lines are the same? so modder can switch og voice in
Mocap and voice
I thought it was advanced for old game
But then 90s also have mocaps 
yup i guess ๐ค
-# Laura is James's daughter irl haha
He took her to audition but got the role too
XD
Lmao! i would think the other way around
had to bring the kid to his audition XD wow thats funny
honestly james is like a mopier leon
he's just got that vibe (its the hair LOL)
The og actor reminds me a bit of Yuri Lowenthal 
๐ค dunno who that is

Hello people
guys
Hello!
Do you recommend switching to the new Inzoi engine?
The last time I played dbd was in 2023 lol
๐๐ป
It's in beta branch, so expect plenty of bugs
The engine update may arrive on the main branch when the devs figure it's stable enough
Do you maybe know where I can report polish translation issues?
Hello blobs
I was going to, but then in the inZOI chat channel they were talking about a bug that makes your needs tank seemingly randomly, and you have to use a cheat to get them back up.
Someone already reported it, so I'm going to wait a little while because I'm still getting my feet wet. I've only had the game for three weeks, and I spent a week and a half of that just creating my Zoi because I'm a perfectionist.
This was kishinoto's original design for adult Naruto
This is what they decided to go with
They srs massacred my boy ๐ญ
#report-a-bug read through this channel to see where to report bugs ^^
Ahh I see! I haven't even touched inzoi in a while, despite purchasing the game day 1 ๐ญ
I'm having an absolute blast. The other game could never do what this does, nor would the team ever let them. And now that game is dead and I'm glad. It's a lot of "keeping up with the Joneses" kind of thing.
ahhh yes the tragic change in art style direction hurts me everytime i lay eyes upon this
Its one of the main reasons I refuse to watch boruto. Literally everything they could have messed up, they did
i agree and your not missing much fam trust me
Oh, i bet ๐ญ
Are you referring to Sims 4? Or something else. Also sorry, haven't see that movie xD
Morning all
Oh sorry, I'm so used to calling it "the other game" now. Yes, I was referring to inZOI. I called the other game in the same way that they called Voldemort: "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" because EA is like Lord Voldemort. They don't care about their players; they only care about money. Even with FIFAโI know they call it FC nowโI'm glad they lost the rights to FIFA. I really am. They don't deserve it. Although I like Wrexham, and I don't know if they are in the game, they deserve to be.
I meant I wasn't referring to inZOI; I was referring to The Sims
Sorry, because of my disability, I use a new AI-driven typing program. All I have to do is hit the right ALT key and it will type for me. I had another program before this and this is light years better.
Yes, AI can do some awful things, but it can also do awesome things as well. Because of this new tech, I am going to be able to write a screenplay finally, because I can only type with three fingers.and very slowly at that, like 13 words a minute.
I was always mad because you have to type like 60 to be able to work at the cable company. I always wanted to work at the cable company because then I would get free internet
ah yes
gen z Vash up
-# That looks kinda cute... but lost identity
this is how i feel about angela in silent hill 2 and i never even played the original
particularly her voice lmao
-# Kinda feel that but her og looks and sounds a bit too old, but I like the original appearance and feel of someone who have nothing to lose
yeahh lol
Yawn
silent hill mentioned

indeedy. been playing the remake and im at the historical society.
...
Such a mood
wtf
actually that might scare the kiddies ๐คฃ it was from scary movie
Yeah same, I only watched them over 10 times myself
-#
That's why I cropped the picture
๐ค
I think the emotion, lighting and acting are different in the remake
me when I accidentally clear a 70 hour save slot
the nose tip is wide ig, throwing it off
could be lol
or the angle
im gonna play now :K
reality mirrors art: I have a gang of sub-10yo kids in my apt hallway
my youth gang!
they just need my corrupting influence via my own child xD
Ughhh I actually have to get up
I donโt want to, am being so lazy today
But off to the supermarche I guess
this is exactly why stuff like instacart exists xD
playing KCD 1. made the mistake of powerleveling strength through herbalism, now Kunesh can't win and I can't get free lockpicks before I leave the prologue =/
I am but a poor little buff boy without a home. I promise I won't pillage and raze your city.
Haha loved that game. KCD2 was good too.
This resident evil game crazy they gave the zombies weapons ๐ญ
One of the new villains fine 
Omg how did you know ๐ญ๐
who else
silent hill 2 is making my pc hot ๐ญ scariest part of game by far
@crimson brook i forgot if you saw paul from quantum break now he is FINE
We played that game it was so good lmao
tbf i thought it was wesker
im glad its not him
wesker was awesome, dont let them ruin him somehow
its the facial structure
its everything
didnt they do that already w the lore?
i mean jake sucks
but everything else fine enough
a truly fine villain XD
paul serene my 2nd to rupert lol
i switch my 2nd to rupert out a lot though lol
jake...is ||wesker's son|| ๐
i forgot piers existed
i googled him and im still unsure
I'm not clicking the spoiler this time ๐ if you mean from RE6 then I have a lot to finish
everything past 5 is a complete blur for me, which is why i hestiated on 8
i never got it, now im behind
and now 9 looks overall good
Bring back Chris sailor costume... there's no Mercenaries or something in newer games though?
(not sold on zeno lol)
ethan
i like the whole concept round 7 and 8 tbh
i spoiled that ||and went no wonder personality minus||
was very interesting
i will have to push myself to 8
Different and real horror survival feel I think
7 was just OK iirc
maybe
it just didnt feel like RE
i do remember liking ||the parts with the old lady/little girl||
makes sense tbh since the survival horror i think took off round then ( i think that was before resi 2 and resi 3 remake came out?)
it felt so disconnected from re's universe, at least 7 did
with chris maybe i'll like 8 more
I felt better trying it cause their implement of first person not as dizzy as I thought
good good
only 2 games i went to bed dizzy with were portal 1 and the old sw battlefront lol
from what i understood it runs parallel to 7 and 8
thats what i got from twt tho
im feeling forced to give my pc a break from sh2 it was getting hotttt ๐ญ
so close to the end i think
im guessing im towards the end of the labyrinth, hated the ladders lol
i spoiled so much
i spoiled like every boss
i still dunno what happens to james
which is just shocking at this point lol
idk how that spoiler missed me
though i know there's several endings...i dont know how any are
8 of them, though 2 are gag endings
the next one will probably expand on the Silent Hill Syndrome and the global influence of the cult
iirc, ||Kwekwaxawe/Samael, the cult's god/demon|| seems to be spreading its influence in a number of ways even before Alessa exacerbated it with her psychic shock
actually...now that I think about it...
omggg i'm at the Big Moment....but i'll do it tomorrow because i am SPOOKED!
and its 2AM ๐ญ
Play it at midnight then 
basically about to watch the ๐ผ
making myself feel less scared by looking at this angel 
-# Is that the live action streaming?
her name was Shireen and she did NOTHING WRONG
Yawn
Happy Daylight savings time.... for those of you who have to suffer throught it.
What?
hope it works for you
-# Nice remote 
mine is ... not that
i have ryzen 7 5700x3d 
Well its easier to digest thats for sure.
I had coffee water and some pills ๐
breakfast of account managers with ulcers xD
First iPad drawing ๐โโ๏ธ
Oh neat
what program are you using?
Clip studio paint
My one true love ๐คฃ
Definitely not beginner friendly though ๐
obligatory Procreate mention
only downside to csp on ipad is the sub
Yeah, procreate is begginer
its subscription based on ipad
Eh, I already pay for it for my pc ๐คฃ
vs pc its one time
Imo, the price is worth what it offers
eh not for me i already pay annual for upgrades on the pc one and its like $10/ year on there
I have the version since before the update pass, so the one time payment is pretty expensive ๐
Besides, im fine with $10 a month
Unlike the $70 Adobe subsription. Now that one is daylight robbery
And csp is even better than photoshop for drawing
Much more user friendly too
thats fair, i just have to be careful bout my subs
I mean, i always only subscribe when I know it's well worth it. And ive been using it for years beforehand, and im not planning to switch ๐คฃ
Plus, those webtoon tools are hella nice ๐ซข
i have way to many brushes LOL
Same bruh ๐
Im too lazy to install them again on the iPad though
So i just do it whenever I need it ๐
fair fair
yup, struggle bugging onto mobile.
Oh, THATS why my discord sucks? ๐
Yeah what's happening?? I thought it was just me failing to load anything, I'm on desktop ๐
it can't be the servers unless mobile Discord servers are elsewhere
but then again you can't send images on mobile rn either
hey gifs are back
seems they recovered quickly
good on em
Thank gawd, is that what an internet black out would be like? I... I don't think I could survive, leave me behind in the apocalypse guys!
not the first time this has happened last time i think it took a whole day to come back up
oh, today was the Y2K of 2026 xD
DST needs to go away forever, I'm tired of guessing at my microwave
Back when I was doing amateur astrophotography the change used to make me rage!
In the summer it does not even get dark untill almost 10:00 pm.
Y2K and 2026 are strangers lol off topic but that was one of the best eras for me and those days are gone ๐ญ
the best music ended in 2006
Spittin out facts over here I see
Pretty sure my younger brother is on my youtube account ๐
is it because it says "Bro plays"? I learnt the hard way that that doesn't always mean your actual brother ๐

I beat Silent Hill, got the Leave ending ๐ฅฒ
I loved it so much
||Genuinely surprised James didn't die||
Everyone playing RE:9 and you're out here playing SH:1 ๐ญ
and I'm out here playing neither because scary games are a no no to me, only scary / horror movies ๐
so funny, its always either scary movies or scary games
im a scary game person
movies i cant do as well
i wonder whats up with that
Understandable:
Games = you control
Films = out of your control
With films I'm like "Ha! what an idiot" and with games I'm like "AHH I'm too involved" and panic ๐คฃ
With you I guess the lack of control with movies freak you out ๐
that makes perfect sense as i am BEYOND a control freak
Well there you go, I'm the opposite LOL
XD
Both are no no no for me , I canโt play scary things and I canโt watch scary things
I made Rupert because I couldn't control his 'canon version' ๐ (and to this day his canon version stresses me)
fnaf got me into scary games
i wish i was kidding
I jumped once at fnaf and quit, Alien Isolation (LOVE the movies), In 10 mins into the game, I hid in a locker for a solid 2 mins then quit ๐ญ
Jealoussss, I really wanted to play it
Well it's cannon to the movies so I guess, fill in the blanks? ๐ Unless they wanted to make another one but never did
same with quantum break though and i love that and may replay
no it...felt more like there should have been a sequel
ive seen Alien and Aliens (loved the first more but LOVE Burke in Aliens)
Burke came before Rupert for me
he was a MAJOR obsession XD
I preferred the first one two lol
one of many*
true LOL
paul serene 
im gonna replay quantum break i think
i miss my grey hair man
I wish I could obsess, I just get too lazy too fast, even with partners ๐คฃ
I'm just lucky my current bf doesn't like doing much but game like me 
Looks like EA laid off a bunch of people ๐ค
EA Lays Off Staff Across All Battlefield Studios Following Record-Breaking Battlefield 6 Launch - IGN https://share.google/3JEux3fHvcOJ6Q67G
Nice shot departing Miami turning north.
And this surprises you because ...?
EA is dying
It's not even about The Sims. They are a bunch of money-grubbing thieves who promise you the world and under-deliver every single time. I am not surprised by this in the least.
Beautiful. What version of Flight Sim is this?
I always get a little wistful when looking at Flight Sim stuff. I was in love with someone who played Flight Sim and he posted pictures all the time. He passed away in 2017, but whenever I see Flight Sim or Train Sim, I think of him. He loved them both, and every year on his birthday I would get him something to do with Train Sim.
Thanks for posting this, even if it makes me a little sad.
I am so tired
I always love watching scary games but never play them ๐
it kinda reminds me of being a kid n watching my older brother play games except he would never played that genre
used to watch a lot of Markiplier n now he has a movie out n kept thinking about going to see it but then wonder if I could handle the gore ๐
dude literally set out to make the world record in fake blood used in a production ๐
tho feel like the reason I usually have issues with movies is that they often become sooo gore obsessed... like sometimes I just want a well plotted cheap jumpscare ๐
Didnt you just get a CPU?
I did
and now the mobo?
Do you have voltage issues too I wonder? Like brownouts?
I just saw this. Not a good sign
Sims is done ๐ญ
Thx for creating Inzoi ๐ฅน
Is that your main or your sub? or maybe the one you repair...
Itโs my main
I managed to get it to boot on 3 sticks but the motherboard headers are fried so no lights for me
The start button looks handy
I had cases where I couldn't start mine due to broken button on the case
Yep
Seem like slot 2 is dead
1,3,4 work
I can use it like this for now till I can afford a new motherboard
I think my cpu killed it over time with the amount of times it died

I'm having crunchy mac and cheese.. uhh
The store I'm working at slowly improving. ๐
Usually Tuesdays and Fridays at my current workplace. Shambles and one lazy worker who talks to much.
imagine trying to bridge the pin headers on the motherboard everytime you wanted to fire it on 
-#
I don't know how to do that, it took a while via keep pressing
gonna replay quantum break so incoming squeeing about paul serene XD
๐ that's fast...
?
๐ You finish it days ago
XD I WANT MORE PAULIE
ughhh he so CUUTE
My current warehouse will soon miss me... I predict my position will change..
For the better? 
Didnโt that show end because the old guy was being creepy? 
Uh... not that I heard of, the main one still going with different cast
A lot of loyalty for a hired gun.
aaaaa i luuuv him XD
He's a big guy for me ๐
(actually smol-ish but ya get me ๐ )
Never knew he was in that game. I just know him from Dark Knight Rises and Game of Thrones.
ugh he's so FINE in this game lol
But is the game actually good?
in general, is 1 (of 4) of your computer's fans supposed to spin slower than the others if you have not changed any fan settings in your BIOS, if not I think I have a broken fan because one is only spinning at 984 rpm and the others are spinning faster when I enter BIOS
I am officially in geek heaven 
my first MMO that I played when I was a closet nerd is relaunching a subscription-based model

I cannot emphasise how much a big deal that is when gacha/microtransactions is rampant in the scene

...
Cute
How "excited" people are on the sims 4 subreddit
500 comments and 0 upvotes
Wait, mb, thats steam
But people arent happy
can still updoot from what I see looool
That's what EA wishes you'd do ๐
How much we betting situations like these is why the EA app doesn't allow rating and commenting? ๐
meanwhile
EA wishes ๐
Meh
Que sera sera
We always knew it would turn out like this
I donโt know if itโll be the death knell to the Sims franchise butโฆIโm not surprised they resorted to this model
Oooh, fun fact. You can only react on the sims discord with emojis they themselves set beforehand. I wonder why ๐คก
socks
-# we've done that
There's a difference between having discord specific emojis and only being allowed to react with emojis they preset
๐งฆ

Here's what pops up when yoy try to react
they know its gonna cause a riot so they limited emojis lol
Exactly ๐
isn't it paid Custom Content, but through EA, giving EA a simply absurd percentage of the earnings?

and the creators who are in that program are gonna be heavily boycotted
cause ea was the one who did not want cc behind a paywall
-# It supposedly open a window for CC to be on consoles
yeah but even so putting it behind a paywall 
even that would be okay if not for the 70% or so EA takes
everyday ea digs themselves in a deeper trench, its insane
like i genuinely cant foresee myself ever indulging in a sims installment ever again, they lost me so long ago and just continue to
Morning all yet another day of Sims Bashing I see. Wonder how long till that is out of your systems?
TS7
or the death knells of Electronic Arts, who knows?
when they finally get good ๐ญ or when they officially tank, whatever comes first
But I just dont get all the angst over it. Why not just move on?
Can it even be called custom content when itโs under official control? 
people wanna talk about it
you dont have to join the convo if you dont want to

well, i have. hence why i dont play. i dont think its an 'angst' thing to critique a company, especially one with loads of money backing it that continually makes questionable decisions
Ill jus ttake Jin's advice and abstain ๐
Rules for thee but not for me ๐คก
And with the abysmal commission compensationโฆa measly 30%
70% of the profits for 0% of the work
Like, you gotta applause them cause that greed and laziness deserves an Oscar ๐
Talk about piecemeal
ea just gets exponentially greedier, like i actually cant believe it
theres genuinely no way ๐ญ
Watch them make us build a game and then charge us to play it next ๐
my brain boutta explode from these 30 paintings i had to memorize for a midterm
the saddest part is that they have a such a large dedicated playerbase even with all these crazy things and they still scam them, like wow, no compassion for your own creators and players
you got thisss
-# no notes either so OOOF
large dedicated player base
Not anymore ๐
i still think its cool when my gf and i watch something and she sees a paitning she learnt about in her art history course. youll do great!
That other day I argued with my mom that the painting she's showing is starry night by van gogh and not some random painting my monet. She eventually asked chat gpt and it told her what I did ๐
well, definitely not as large, but i still see hardcore sims 2, sims 3, and even sims medieval players (not surprising, the best sims installments by farrr) and they still indulge in sims 4 stuff you know? idk what will finally put the nail in the coffin
But making a card game where you write the name of the painting on one side and then the description on the other is the way to go. Scored like 96% on my art exam that way
hell yeahhh
Ive seen an influx of people looking for ways to purchase the discs so they dont give money to EA
flashcards are always great
i suppose youd know more than me, im not really in the sims fandom the way i used to be so idk whats going on all that much
polka is in the sims hatedom xD
I do lurk around and keep up to date, but I dont really play anymore
You've got a point ๐คฃ
Most sims posts I make nowadays is about hating the game ๐
Gurl same lol I'm just there for the drama
Boy oh boy is there drama ๐
Been watching everybody running around like headless chickens since october
only every week though ๐
and youd be right to do so!!!
what happen in october???
The EA buyout annoucment
just one more month for that to pass right?
Or was it November? ๐ค
Well, april to june
can't wait! I'll bring my popcorn ๐
Still see people lying to themselves thinking if they gather signatures the sale will fall through, or if they beg hard enough the sale will fall through or if they close their eyes and cross their fingers.... well, you get the point ๐
ohhh, the saudi thing?
Or the "the sale isnt finalized yet, so its the same as if it didnt happen" crowd ๐คก
Yeah
one of the partners is related to Trump aren't they? It's 100% going through lol
i think the craziest thing is that people still think there is any hope for the sims franchise ๐ญ
I mean..... there has been some escalation is recent events ๐ค
Due to to the tension in the middle east, Saudi Arabia is thinking about backing out of investments in the US
Ive seen an article
Nah doubt it, SA will probably wanna move more into the gaming market now with their oil being targeted ๐
i think its time world leaders stopped letting america bully them but the sims is doomed anyway, i fear
Its been doomed since it was bought over by EA
Ever more so now cause EA is taking over the sims directly
literally, well, thats why inzois here, to be the game that treats us right after all these years
Monetization, future packs, art directions, its all gonna be going through EA directly
Fr, kjun treats us so well that with every post I feel like "are we even allowed to have this?" ๐คฃ
Even the original sims didnt get this much care
theyre STILL making packs for that game??? oh god ๐ญ
But theyll be selling it through the sims 4 store ๐
It's gonna be cc and EA kits
Cause $1600 worth of DLC simply wasnt enough
right, like seeing things that get mentioned like maybe 5 times throughout the week getting acknowledged in the wendesay response is so touching ๐ฟ like wow, he really does read EVERYTHING
People defended kits cause sims 3 store exists. I wonder what they'll say now ๐
good god, bless the players who remain, idk how they do it
Well, the main reason I see is "ive invested too much into this game" and im like "sis, youre treating it like a relationship" ๐
right, like you can acknowledge the money and time youve already put in but you dont have to put anymore, you can accept the company does not value you in any way beyond your money and support and walk away
Bruh, EA literaly sees us like walking money bags ๐
they couldnt even get a penny outta me. when i was little, i used to do the damn pirating thing to get all the dlc because my mum didnt wanna pay for me to get the game. but when i finally had my own money and bought the game i was genuinely so shocked to see what the game was like without dlc cos id never see it like that up until that point. and this was way before they made base game free
like its genuinely so incredibly empty and soulless without cc and a bajillion packs
crazy they make you pay for separate packs with overlapping functions, like why are pets in 2 separate packs,,, youre joking, right?
and for rent shouldnt even have existed, for rent is what i thought city living was gonna be
I spend my birthday money on sims 3+all packs when I was like 14. Never spent any more money on it ever again ๐
And I havent spent a penny on sims 4
its genuinely so ridiculous, i could never buy any of those things, especially at full price
The state it came out in was enough to convince me to not waste any money on it
Well..... more than 2 ๐
Cats and dogs, ny first pet stuff, cottage living, horse ranch and life and death if you want object birds
genuinely, i only bought packs to make the game playable but i bought them at discounted prices cos i knew it was ridiculous
HELLO??? I FORGOT ABOUT HORSE RANCH BUT IDK THERE WAS PETS IN THE OTHERS??? theyre actually sick and unwell
My first pet stuff had hamsters
Yeah
Cottage living had farm animals and bunnies. But once again, they did the bare minimum cause you cant have many cows (even though cows age and eventually die)
Also, theres been an egg incubation bug since the release of the pack. They said they fixed it, but in reality they didnt ๐
lord, it really does just get worse with this game, idek all this, yikes
I hella bulled that midterm
forgot everything the moment I started
Oh it is
half the class felt like they failed it
If half the class failed maybe the teacher failed?
She didnโt even allow notes but had to
Memorize a dozen lectures, 30+paintings and their names, AND 2 essay questions
I dont envy you I remember my school days and the frustration that came with it.
Then I did not even apply my major to my career. About the only thing that was applied was 'drawing'.
Went into Drafting electrical plans and got more into design as time went on.

Just came back from a nice walk. It's like 20c, but you probably cant tell ๐
Gonna snow in 2 days though
Well the half frozen lake is kind of a tip off ๐
Idk, when i think of 20c, I think of non frozen lakes and no snow on the ground, but to each their own i guess
haha I was thinking 20F never mind me.
20c is like 68f
@pliant tree Sorry to @ you, but I made an appointment to get my fans and GPU looked at because now my graphics are flickering on Ultra. The game was also a little slow to load when I saw the canvas screen after loading.
I'm actually scared... my mom is going to have my butt. Yes, I'm an adult, but mom helps me out and she will have a fit when she sees this. Should I be legit scared? I had no idea my graphics were on Ultra; I thought they were on High. I've never been able to play a game on Ultra before, but I was like, "Oh, I have a 4070 Super, I'll be fine."
I see some flickering in game too. Under specific conditions. Dont think your fans are to blame for that though ๐
Is my 4070 Super gonna die?
Other than my power chair (which is cooler than any other power chair in the universe, except for the one that goes up stairs), my computer is my most prized possession. (insert Lord of the Rings "my precious" moment here)
Is this lame? Yes, but I can't drive a car and I don't own a house. If this goes, then I'm screwed. Like, actually screwed.
I dont know what to tell you. Having it looked at is not a bad idea depending on whom is doing the looking.
My fans make alot of noise with Inzoi is running. It is what it is.
I'm trying to get a video for you, but I don't have OBS and I heard it's a pain in the butt it requires many tutorials to figure out. Is there an easier way? I can get you a video. Can I do it with the NVIDIA overlay?
No idea
I shall investigate. I'm curious as to your graphic settings, but then again, you seem like the kind of person that has a 50 series. I'm not assuming stuff, but I'm imagining with a cool Discord name like that, you have something in the 50 series. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm kidding, of course, but I'm just curious
Do you have realistic shadows on? If so, that's why your lights are flickering
I got flickering in game last night with real shadows off. The ponds in Cahaya Park surface was flicking in and out.
I believe that is on, yes they're shutting it off. Help. I am in Bliss Bay, if that helps

Oh forgot we were in OT
happens
But its a hardware question or at least started that way ๐
I forgot too I'm sorry, it did start out as a hardware question, because I'm getting my hardware looked at because of this stuff
I hope your just overthinking it ๐
Back to hardware. I'm thinking of trying to get liquid cooling for this. Apparently there are liquid cooled variants of my system, but I didn't know that. I hope I'm overthinking it too. Then again, I've never been able to play a game this graphics intense. I find it funny that I used to find Sims graphics intense.
Ryzen may be your guy for liquid cooling be idk
The only other games my disability will let me play well are Minecraft and Sea of Thieves. Well, a bit of Sea of Thieves; I'm really bad at driving the ship. When I ask other people to help me do that, they think it's funny to blow up my boat, but I like the game anyway.
I haven't played in a while, though.
Jinnies my system is an Intel i7.
Eh heโs still him regardless
Ryzen is an actual member LOL
Oh, I'm sorry
See above my message โ๏ธ
That looks so good. Everything but the corn. I'm allergic to corn (well, regular looking corn, not stuff with corn in it, strangely).


@shy sparrow whats the issue
i have a water cooling system
its not easy for maintenance
all colour ran out
so i went for clear
also the I9 killed half the motherboard
USB headers are fried and ram 2 dead
you have the worst luck lol
Not my new one
The old one did

So I cut the trace from slot 2 bridged slot 3 and 4 from slot 1
see I would just get a new mobo
I donโt have money for that atm
This is just temporary till I can afford a new motherboard
Iโm hoping this can last 2-3 months

The radiator is on the bottom?
and top
also side
top one isn't connected because pump because the top rad needs maintenance on it
I only see the radiator for the water cool on the bottom. all the others are fans.
-# So many ๐ชญ
I wanna meet the guy that first said "you know what mixed well with electronics? water"
Mines a hellua lot simpler. Only radiator fans on top.
would y'all rather the outflow air go through the back, top, or both?
Heat rises so...
i have air come in from top and side then bottom to get get rid of it
heat goes where I say it goes via thermodynamics 
I have side and front intake, back and top outtake
Guess I need a back fan
i do have a large case
EATX
i know about my cable mess
ill eventually get it sorted
I feel the same way, just like smirking at others xD
there's a square foot around my PC I don't care to think about
im gonna save $250 for a new mobo
this is $200
i could usse my credit card for it

yay debt
true
but it will be paid off in 3 months

paypal loves giving me the fat 0s on interest
who sells a mobo with a borked socket
Same always liked the aesthetics of the case
this case will do me for a long time
since my other case was buckling under its own weight

wheres the kh4 crumbs

weather keeps lying to me
snow turns into rain before it gets here, but "snow next tuesday" every time I look at the weather app ๐ญ
I miss winter
it stormed yesterday really hard and dropped the temps back down to almost freezing 
almost like the universe heard my plea
Pretty warm here in the mid 80's F.
Its nice the AC can keep up with it easly.
Hi, I am trying to clear my Nvidia cache and there are no cache folders in either the Nvidia folder or the Nvidia Corporation folder. Does anyone know where the cache files are stored?
Not that I dare run the game anymore because of my fan issue but I was going to run it for a second to see if the loading was faster than it was yesterday, because every time I load this game, it loads slower every time
https://forum.playinzoi.com/t/topic/1534
Have a look there
EDIT: I put the following solution from ๐ this post on top of it all, from what Iโve seen this helped in most of the cases This is from a service notice at the offial discord server: The game keeps crashing immediately after launch. What should I do? Weโve been receiving some reports about the game crashing right after starting up, ...
Inzoi fourm links are okay right??
We got some pretty bad rain rn and were also expecting 7cm of snow
Might be black ice day tomorrow
they'd better be!
He means getting banned wise ๐
oh I know
js if forum links are blocked, something is seriously wrong on the backend haha
@pliant tree when I delete these folders that it says to in the post, am I deleting the actual folder or just the contents inside?
folders, usually. the rewrite makes new ones
by "rewrite", I mean that launching the game makes sure the folders exist, and makes them if they don't
Thank you very kindly.
By the way, have you guys ever been in your AppData Local folders? There is some weird stuff in there, like leftover folders of stuff you deleted a long time ago. it is very weird to see all the stuff you uninstalled from a long time ago. It's also weirdly nostalgic
it's mainly saved games and stuff
yea
I find stuff from old games there constantly when I'm hunting for a mod file xD
Oh yeah, if you have an OpenGL folder also, do you get rid of that too?
I only remember having to use OpenGL when I bought the Sims Legacy Edition, which never loaded. It was an EA cash grab, using nostalgia to market things, and it's disgusting what they did with that. they duped every single one of their users
I found a program in there called Guitar Rig 6, and I don't even play guitar; my disability won't let me.
I played piano, though, for years until my spine said, "You can't do that anymore."
Either that or it is a VST. If it's a free VST, I probably own it. I do love EDM and music production even though I don't do it for a living.
Mine is like a fractured landscape!
@ruby nacelle that is a fabulous kitchen. Please say you took a picture of that and put it in InZOI.
I know, right? I was like, "What the heck is this?"
I found some weird folder with all these alphanumeric folders inside. It looked like the Windows Registry looks. I didn't touch it, but I was like, "Where did this come from?"
Haha I almost said "He posts stuff here all the time!"
oh guitar rig is up to 7. I just started getting good so thanks for the mention =]
Oh awesome, please do post a video of you playing guitar! I would love to see.
Guitar is one of those instruments that is on myโthat's my favorite thing I can't do list. I really, really want a theremin, if you know what those are. but I just don't know how my landlord would feel about that
theremins are cool
The issue is when you try to do a photo link embed (which people try to do)
I bet playing is tough
Which is why we say to be careful 
But forum links are ok as long as you are not promoting your own post
I was kinda kidding Jin but thanks ๐
Im always joking ๐
I want to find somebody in my area to see if I can do it. I don't know if there's something you're supposed to step on like a pedal on the floor, or if you can just turn it on and put your hand over it, before I say, "Hey, Mom, can I have a theremin?" I haven't even got up the courage to say, "Hey, Mom, can I have a telescope?"
And she knows I've wanted a telescope for at least five years. Secretly, I'm an incredible space nut; I even have a planetary pattern on the braces I use to walk with. They told me the pattern was on backorder and asked me if I wanted to pick another pattern, and I was like, "Nope, I'll wait until the pattern is in"
Like that?
Holy words I can't say in this channel Is that yours?
Yea. But its ot Ill post a link to some of my images in OT if your interested.
Oh wait.. LMAO this IS OT
Have fun its all
open so feel free to download.
ps; Dont forget to click the images a couplea times for the high res version.
tone tags and emojis 
@pliant tree and I have become best friends.
Shhh, don't tell anyone. LOL, seriously though, you have made my day. These are absolutely, insanely beautiful. You are so talented!
She can't blame me for wanting to take pictures of stars, though. She is a wonderful photographer also, and she takes pictures of a particular subject for like a year:
- First it was bicycles
- Then it was doors
- Then it was graffiti
She has about 7 terabytes of photos. So if I say, "Mom, I want a telescope," she can't say anything because she let my brother have a motorcycle because she had one once.
Check out the sparkles on this $2000 necklace ๐
My mom let me borrow it earlier for a party, so im giving it back now
That's incredible. It's gorgeous
Yeah, my dress was sparkly too so I was sparkling the whole evening ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ
I imagine everybody was looking at you the way everybody was amazed at the necklace from Titanic. It kind of looks like that, too
The coat lady asked if she could help me put on my coat cause I looked like a princess ๐
Last year I was even prettier though cause I got professional hair and makeup done. This year I did it myself ๐คฃ
My mom and sister always did my makeup because if I do it myself, I look like a clown. Only because my dexterity is awful.
Nowadays I don't wear it. I would like to, but makeup costs a lot of money and I can never seem to find the proper shade of foundation sometimes I want to do my makeup to feel like I'm on a movie set
Tbf, I only wear makeup on special ocassions ๐คฃ
Something about having a nice drink in a cute cup just makes it hit different. Just also remembered I can go get myself a smoothie rn lol
I go commando most days
Right?? My anniversary is coming up next week so I ordered super cute matching glasses ๐
These
Aww those are adorable but Id keep turning them over wanting to see the cutes.
I know exactly what you mean. Unfortunately, I can't buy cups that are cute. I literally can only buy cups that I can pick up myself, and most of them are plain Jane and boring.
I want one of those Stanley metal cups, but they are much too heavy and I can't help but feel a little sad.
Congrats on your anniversary!
Thank you!
There should be plenty of cute plastic cups ๐ค
Understandable. I mainly drink out of water bottles and have a few pink ones, not exactly a cup but still cute ihmo <3
Ive got a stainless steel water bottle that Ive been using for like 5 years ๐
I just dont trust plastic bottles.
Because many companies think plastic cups are for little kids, they often have cartoon characters on them. And the only cartoon characters I want to see are SpongeBob, Scooby-Doo, or Care Bears.
I have a few water bottles, but they have to be kind of small. I can't buy any of those like one-gallon ones. my ex-husband used to buy me a lot of cool cups, but they get germy after a while and you have to switch
He still buys me things and I see him every day because he lives in the apartment below me trust me, it sounds strange and is even stranger, but at least he didn't go away. Oh my goodness what awesome-looking spaghetti!
I am Italian, but medically, I cannot have anything tomato because of the acidity. It was kind of heartbreaking, actually. I love spaghetti with a good ragu, so under any other circumstances, I would happily steal that entire thing from you.
And to think, I only came in here to see what directories I need to delete to get the game running better, and I end up with superb astrophotography, beautiful looking kitchens, and beautiful looking food. That is why I love this channel and all of you guys.
Keep having an amazing day! I'm sorry I have to go, but I will be back.
Quick search on Amazon
You just need to decide what kind of plastic cup you want and search that up
Oh my stars, where have those been all my life?
I can send a link if youre in canada. Otherwise, itd be useless ๐คฃ
I usually buy stuff at the end of the month, so those will be in my house by then but I'm in the US. I would love to be in Canada, but thank you so much
See you guys in a little bit
Just search up care bear plastic cups on Amazon then ๐
it rained again! now it's below freezing. cmon snow, one last hurrah!
My witch is finally done
polka, why do you hate snow ๐
Thank you for posting your witch, Polka! It makes me want to call my mom and ask her to help me with some art. We like doing gel printing, if you know what that is.
I'm not sure I can show you.
I meant if you're not sure what that is, I can show you
It's cold, yucky, and doesnt f off for like 8 months of the year ๐
I dint think ive heard of gel printing ๐ค
I'll get you a video. It is so fun and addicting! Once you do it once, you won't want to stop. Even people like me with very low motor function can do it, which is why I do it a lot. I wish I had some of my own personal ones, but if I kept them all, my gel prints might as well be made into wallpaper for my apartment, yet we are not allowed to do that
Also, kiki's delivery service is getting re-released for imax in canada and the US, so imma go watch it ๐

@pliant tree Are you still here? Don't worry if you're not. I'm just very curious about one of your photos. It made me do a triple take, really and truly.
Oooh, I think i did it in highschool once
We had to carve out the glass to print out drawings
yeah it's GREAT

Yes, that's very similar. Only I am not allowed glass things; I don't even drink out of glass cups except at restaurants and I have someone help me hold them.
But yeah, that's very similar. My mother takes a class where they do it on plexiglass, which is not as forgiving.
And Dath snow is only good if you're a snowboarder. Other than that, I agree with polka 100%. Where I live it snows a lot, and power wheelchairs and snow do not get along. My city does not believe in properly plowing sidewalks (or streets for that matter), so from like October to April I don't leave the house much except for doctor's appointments and family functions.
Snow is bad, plain and simple.
The only time snow should fall is Christmas Eve and or Christmas Day for the sake of the little ones. Other than that, snow is bad
By the way, I went to delete my caches and it would not let me because it said it was in use by another program. The only programs I have open are my typing program and Edge.
I don't know what's going on, but it sucks because I need to see if the game will run and not stutter and scare the crap out of me. I need them to be able to reproduce the error or the situation when I take it to be looked at, so I need to run the game at least one more time.
