Here's a protanopia (red colourblindness) simulation. While I do think Andrew would interpret Garrett's shirt as purple, based on always having seen the world like this, it would kinda look like a intense and "weird type of blue" to him (according to my research, I'm not colourblind)

Protanopia (red colourblindness) simulation of the pictures in the main post. Garrett's shirt looks very blue.

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue (I literally now came to think of this rhyme out of nowhere and realised it fits them 😆)

I didn't get away from this after they tuned it, because Andrew is an Active sim 😅

What's Father Winter doing in the jungle 😅

Father Winter in TheSims4 walks around in the Selvadoradian jungle with a smile on his face, clad in a thick coat, mittens, and a santa hat.

It seems like Gavin took note of my new save having a futuristic theme

Sometimes I just need to scratch an itch that I've had for ages To the left is Grace in Sims Mobile, wearing an outfit that also exists in The Sims 4 High School Years, with the difference that this specific swatch doesn't exist. So I made a recolour, because she needed this outfit in Sims 4 too!

I played earlier today, in the game it was 11 o'clock and sunny. Now that I opened the game again it's 8 o'clock and doomsday level of cloudy. What?? Beren, Liberty and Ned are still exactly where I left them, and Meaghan Ford, who I just happened to take a picture of earlier, is also still there

Liberty and Ned chat by the Britechester river. The sky is blue and it's sunny.

I'll show you why I'm asking. Here we have pink, purple, dark blue, light blue, green, yellow, orange, red, brown, black, grey, and white hearts in a txt file Pink, light blue, and grey hearts don't work at all (they're just squares) Red, brown, and white hearts look exactly the same

That was all for chapter 51, now let's have a look at what the folder for chapter 52 says... 👀

Does anyone know if these blue roofs will protect the gaming mats from rain? If not, do you know if there are any similar ones that do? These are from High School Years' debug catalogue

I don't know what these are called in English... They're blue, soft plastic roofs on metal stilts, placed on a lawn.

I love that Home Regions gives me so many cowboy walkbys where Beren lives. They all seem very friendly and down-to-earth ^^

Could someone who has my Eye Shine Remover and also someone who doesn't have it check if Cottage Living foxes (not Cats & Dogs foxes) have completely black eyes in your game too? bsky.app/profile/sque...

Finally some tank tops that tuck and look good on male sims!

Why does the part of the railing that's on the landing (top of stairs) disappear, when I change the railing from being on both sides to being only on the left side?

Stair with railings on both sides, which makes the railings clip with the wall on the right side.

The same stair but with railing only on the left side, but then the railing is missing on the landing.

My game generated a cute sim

Chapter 16: Changes

Julia's first day on the Physics Programme at University of Britechester, after switching from the Physics Programme at Foxbury Institute. She enters a lecture hall at UBrite Campus and realises that it looks way less modern than Foxbury's lecture halls.

I was definitely thinking about deleting him, but I think he's okay now 🤞🏼 but if he shows any sign of weirdness after this, I'm yeeting him on the spot. It's not like I really want him, but I prefer to keep premades to keep down the number of autogenerated fashion disasters 😅

Omg help 😂😂😂😭

Oberon Summerdream looks a little corrupt, with body parts stretching and bending in weird ways.

Remember my de-fairy-ing? I stumbled upon this guy with his wings out. Opened him up in CAS, because I am absolutely sure that I didn't only turn him into a regular sim, but I also gave him a little makeover. Turns out he is a regular sim, but he only has his original fairy form, no sim form 😐

I don't think I've ever given a spellcaster a Sixam Owl before. They're so pretty! So shiny! 😊 This is Atena, Tomax's new familiar

Just a random example to show what I mean with posing a bed in Blender

A double bed posed in Blender. One pillow is tilted and the other one lies flat, the blanket is lifted on one side and pulled down on the other side.

But I actually just kinda assume that they'll word things weirdly in their patch notes xD Here's an awkward phrasing from an update a few years ago, where they could've just said "When the game is set to English, Morgyn Ember's pronoun is 'they' in new save files" or something

Morgyn Ember will start to use their preferred They/Them pronouns in new game saves if The Sims 4 is set to English.

Here's some more info, that they posted on Discord while I was sleeping. To summarise this Discord post and what it says in the Laundry List: They're fixing infant care autonomy, infant care tuning, and infant care bugs

Infant Care Improvements

Infants are getting a major upgrade! The team focused heavily on reducing frustrating behaviors like constant pick-up/put-down loops, caregiver conflicts, and Sims freezing during care.

“Check Infant” is now way less intrusive, interactions are smoother, and overall caregiving should feel much more responsive and less chaotic.

Kats@squeamishnerd· May 5

Lol I literally made some of the existing tight tops available to wear under tops a few days ago (here's a picture I took in the game just now), and now they'll give it to us just like that in the next update xD It's very welcome, I have wanted this for ages, it's just a funny coincidence

Could someone confirm whether or not these Get to Work gloves show up in CAS for feminine frame sims in a household where you have unlocked them (through gameplay, cheats, or mods)? They only show up for masculine frame sims in my game, but there's a version for feminine frame in S4S.
