@cooperationiskey: No problem ^^ I might not be a chatterbox since I'm very shy to interact most people unless my brain just said "chill out yo"
Oh I see lol. That's understandable, organizing and updating all of custom contents and mods you downloaded is the tricky part since you have to bookmark each website's updates or something like that. I see :o Me too! I tend to buy them whenever there's a discount sale lmao as you said they're fricking expensive. And same, though I make OCs that are for The Sims Universe and either make their lives better or worse haha. Better save some more money for the next DLC or perhaps think before buying one ( < w <; )
Ooh I see! That's a neat stuff that people can leave comments on your website, like a guestbook :o I might think about trying Neocities and creating a website, although I have little to no experience on web designing ^^;
Forums General Chit-Chat Hobbies! What do YOU do for funsies?
@ChiffonOrange: No worries! ๐
Yeah, I only have a few actual mods (as opposed to just custom content like clothes and stuff) so remembering them to update isn't too bad, but it's still a job that has to be done before I play most times (there's usually a while between Sims binges, lol). Oh gosh, have you seen the trailer for the Cottage Living DLC that's coming out? I just saw it like two days ago by chance and it's terribly adorable. Maybe it's because I grew up on a farm but I'm kinda excited to get my hands on that one (farm animals!).
Yeah, most people have a more traditional guestbook on their site as well, but when they don't you can generally go to their profile as backup to leave a comment. And honestly I encourage it! I learned mostly by just goofing around on like, Neopets back in the day, and then Geocities after that. I did go to college for web design years ago but tbh I don't think I retained anything useful that isn't either totally outdated or that I haven't retaught myself by looking things up on Google, lol. Good luck if you go for it! :D
@cooperationiskey: Same. I usually download mods especially the ones that improve gameplays or a little interesting and true. *nods* Yeah I saw it not long ago, I'm not sure what to think of it as the whole farm-themed pack isn't my forte (it's fine if you like it, I don't mind ^^) but I don't mind the items and contents the Cottage Living DLC has. :o
Ooh :o Neopets, that's the website I haven't heard of for a long time lol (I think I played it for a few times but stopped due to lack of interest) and I see, web designing sounds like an awesome skill to have one ^^ (I'll probably just search for tutorials on Youtube instead lol) and thank you! :3

@ChiffonOrange:
Yeah for the most part I like the little tweaks, the ones that make it easier to fully customize a character's personality, or like, the extra food and drinks mods. Though I've accidentally aged characters before and iirc it took a mod to de-age them back to where I wanted, lol.
Yeah, Neopets, I was on that site back when it was brand spanking new! And I started learning html to code my shop page and my neopet's personal pages, and a passion was born. :D And oh, YouTube tutorials, I hadn't even thought of that but that makes total sense! YouTube has tutorials for everything, after all. :)
I guess my biggest hobby nowadays would be language learning. I'm currently learning Korean and Russian. I've been learning Korean for a few years and Russian for about six months. Of course, it's not just learning the language but also learning about the culture and history of the country/countries where the language is spoken. I've already learned so much about Russian history in the past six months.
Other than that, I'd say the other hobbies I do regularly are reading, listening to music, and playing video games. Sometimes I combine these with my language learning. I try to do at least a bit of reading in Korean every day, and I've considered changing the language of some games I play into Korean. I haven't gotten around to it yet though. For music, I listen to music in English of course, but I also listen to Korean and Russian songs. Korean more so than Russian though because I like a lot of Korean songs. And I do sometimes listen to songs that are in other languages aside from those three as well.
@Starlight:
Korean and Russian, wow! I've been told Russia is one of the hardest languages to learn, and I can't imagine Korean is crazy easy either. That's really cool. I took three years of Spanish in high school (sadly didn't have options for other languages) and forgot pretty much everything. I swear I know more German through osmosis as a small child (and my baby brothers' Muzzy language learning videos lmao) than I know Spanish. Maybe I should look into one of those language-learning apps and work on my German more. At least I've got some childhood basis in that thanks to my mom studying it when I was small.
I wish I could concentrate better on reading. There have definitely been books that have caught my eye that I'd like to read, but it's very hard for me to stick with it for long, usually. I'm not really into the K-Pop scene (got nothing against it, it's just never really caught my attention much), but now I'm curious to look up Russian music! That's really neat to incorporate your language learning into your other hobbies; forces you to have more immersion in the language, I suppose!
What games are you into, if you don't mind my asking? o3o
@CooperationIsKey: Thanks about the profile. I also love listening to Synthwave.
I only recolour stuff. Meshing is to hard and time consuming. And I do and I have 2 places: https://midnightskysims.tumblr.com/ & https://heartfall.tumblr.com/

But i've drawn for years now.
it's like both hobby but i also do it for work kind of too.
But i do really enjoy it.
Especially when i figure something out, that i've wanted to for a while.

@CooperationIsKey: Russian and Korean both have their difficulties, but I have a lot of fun learning them! If you know some German from when you were younger then I think it could be possible for you to pick up things more quickly once you refresh your memory. Well, that makes sense to me at least, I'm not really an expert on these things :viosweat:
It's easy to get distracted from reading, but I try to fully focus on it when I do it for that reason. No interruptions, no stopping and starting again, just one solid block of time spent on reading. I used to be a pretty big Kpop fan, but now I mostly just listen to the songs. I also listen to non-Kpop Korean songs more than I used to. I need to try looking up more Russian music too to be honest. It feels so easy to find Korean songs I like, but it seems I'm picky when it comes to Russian music. Yeah, incorporating the language you're learning into things you do anyway is always a good thing to try from what I've heard.
For games, I mostly play Nintendo games nowadays. I was addicted to New Horizons when it came out, but I barely play it now. Aside from that, I've been playing games like Splatoon 2, Super Mario 3D All-Stars (all three games), Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. Aside from that, some games/series I like but haven't been been playing much recently are Story of Seasons/Harvest Moon games, Stardew Valley, Pokémon games (I should really get New Pokémon Snap though), Pikmin games, and so on.

@MoodyB:
Well that's kind of the dream, right, being able to do what you love for work, too? That's really awesome. :)
@Starlight:
That's what I'm thinking: theoretically I have the like, connections in my brain from childhood that should make learning the language properly a little easier?
Honestly I may have to look up some Russian music now; I'm curious. I've listened to Japanese music before (mostly because of anime, admittedly) so why not? :) And maybe I should look up some German music, now I think of it. o3o
I haven't had a gaming console since the original NES, lol. So I can't say I get to play much Nintendo, though I want to! Especially Animal Crossing and Link's Awakening. I mostly play PC-based games, or at least ones available on PC. Minecraft is probably the one I've sunk the most hours into. And Stardew Valley is so cute! But boy is it a time sink; it's hard to pull myself away from so I don't boot it up very often, lol.

Mostly Art, create characters, draw my characters, RP my characters with Colin (if you look in the RP forum, that's obvious, lol), play my switch, watch Youtube and sleep. Lol.I'm not super interesting.
But I like to think my characters are XD
@Amber Lynne: Creating and developing characters is one of my favorite pastimes. And woohoo YouTube and sleep! That's how honestly too much of my time is spent too, lol.

@MoodyB:
Oh gosh, I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully the break will give you the refresh you need!
@cooperationiskey: Same lol. All of the character creation in The Sims series, Sims 4 is somewhat better than the previous Sims games I've ever played (I know I'll probably get hated on for saying that ._. ) I like how I can just make my sims dress up without any gender/voice restriction and can make decent attractive sims without using a lot of custom contents at least haha. c: And lol, it sucks when you accidentally pressed or clicked the wrong button ^^;
Ooh I see! :o And yeah, there are Youtube tutorials that are great but then there are said tutorials aren't really great either. I personally don't like overly long tutorials without any specific points lol.

@Amber Lynne: Holy cow, that's a lot! It seems I currently have exactly 50 characters on my Toyhouse. I'm not sure how many have profiles or not, though. Some are just art galleries.
Also like 10 of those characters have no names yet.
@ChiffonOrange:
Granted I didn't play much of 2 and I don't think I played 3 at all, but I think 4 is best in terms of customization, too. It's very, I dunno, open-ended I guess. I adore recreating my characters as Sims though so that generally requires some custom content (and sometimes a lot of it!). And yes! I felt so bad; he was in a relationship with his fellow Adult sim, and all of a sudden he was an Elderly sim on death's door. Oopsie.
I agree with you on tutorials; the rambling ones are too hard to follow. Clear and concise with set points is definitely easiest to follow.
Please ping me!
@cooperationiskey: I used to play from 1 untill 3 before 4 came out, since I'm not a fan of 3 despite have played it (I only liked the colour wheel and sometimes the personality traits they have) as I prefer 2 due to nostalgia or early to late 2000s aesthetic (lol). And yeah, I agree with you about 4's robust character creation (for a Sims game nonetheless!) and I see, that's very understandable depending on what kind of custom contents you want to use for your sims. Ouch, I feel sad for your sim Dx That means your sim's Adult love partner is going to have those sad thoughts/moodlets soon :c
True, if they still keep rambling I would've skipped to some parts 'till I found a clear point. And yes, the clear ones are easier to follow as you don't get confused. Oh yeah, I almost forgot to ask! Hmmm.... Is Neocities safe? As I was just searching some more info about Neocities on Google then that search pop up (Is Neocities safe) showed up. ^^;
