@tuijp: My cats have always been indoors-only. Maybe another reason I like them better than dogs is because I relate them to more? I don't know. Lol. I just know if I'm able to ever get a job, I think something with cats (or animals in general) is probably my best bet

@kiri: I don't know if it's just because my body needs a lot of rest or if my anxiety and/or depression has something to do with it, but I need a lot of sleep in order to function well, or at least not be super grouchy.

@tuijp: Ahh! I see. I've just always grown up around cats. (I had dogs too but never really interacted with them) and when the last one we had to get put down like 10 years ago, well I've never really been around dogs much since then. Plus, I'm a little uneasy around them compared to cats. Especially if they're super jumpy.

@TeaTales: Sure thing! I mean it's up to you, but will defintely help you save some money. I've always wanted to try LARPing but have no idea how to get into it or anything like that. I don't have any Medieval Festivals around me, but I do have a Renaissance Faire which is probably similar anyway. So please make sure to have fun there.

Ooh sandwiches. I love them. Haha. (Pizza too) Actually my mom just told me it's burger on the grill night tonight. So I get to have a Black Bean or Veggie Burger tonight!

@kiri: I can't function if I have less than like 6 hours of sleep. I'm best when I get a good 8 to 10 though. So even IF I could go out and get a job (which I can't thanks to my anxiety) it would likely be part time only so I could make sure to get my sleep.

@teatales: Usually you just have to enter your email when you go to pay for it, and they'll send it to you. Then you enter it into Origin. (I forget where though. Luckily the email usually tells you where. Lol.) After you enter the key into Origin, you just wait for it to download. It seems hard the first time you do it, but once you get the hang of it, it's pretty easy.

@kiri: Ahh, that makes sense. In my case even just a little blood bothers me (in real life anyway) so being a woman really sucks for me. I get queasy even at just the sight of it. I can't blame you for not taking the job though. I'd pick sleep too honestly. :P

@tuijp: Well hey, it's still amazing when an animal loves you right away. It means you have sort of energy they're attracted to. Since animals are smart. I mean I love dogs and all too, but I'm defintely more of a cat person.

45 lanterns. Getting sucked into a conversation really helps. Lol. I only need 5 more for another draw.

@tuijp: Same here. That's what happened to me with Marley and Me. I was absolutely loving the movie....then came the end. If anyone even suggests watching it now, I have to leave before the ending comes or I turn into an ugly-crying mess. Or even if it's not a pet-centered movie and a pet gets hurt...

It's just hilarious and adorable how some cats are just so different from each other. Lol. I always enjoy rubbing their bellies when they let me though. And cats seem instinctively attracted to me actually. Like even cats I've never met before will come up to me and sit on my lap or rub against me during my first time meeting them.

@teatales: Alright, since you got it from Origin I HIGHLY recommend you use third-party sites to purchase and packs you may want, since you're just purchasing an access key anyway.

I usually use InstantGaming.
https://www.instant-gaming.com/en/272-buy-key-origin-the-sims-4/

But there are other sites like G2A, or even Walmart.

To get the gallery, all you have to do while on a build lot is click the icon that looks like a photograph and then select "gallery" from the menu, there you can download rooms, households or lots. Of any kind of house you can imagine. Mansion, Cabin, Castle... you just have to make sure it's the right size and take into consideration the packs used. (since if you don't have the packs downloaded, some items won't show up in build mode)

I hope that helps at least a little. I'm terrible at explaining things. Lol.

@tuijp: I'd be absolutely devastated if anything happened to even my Sims pets. I even stock up on ambrosia treats in the case that something terrible happens so I can bring them back. I also cheat strays into my Sims family from time to time, and have just started building up my vet skills so I can cure them myself.

I also used the Ministry of Labor option to call one of my Sims (a young adult) a Veterinary Student instead of unemployed. Even though there's no colleges or anything yet. The way I see it, she's practicing her skills so she's STILL learning it at least.

Most of my cats are actually pretty okay with it. Or at least two of the four are. Haven't tried with the others yet.

@kiri: Well, it's a mixture of being frightened by them easily and also unable to handle the blood and gore that often follows the deaths. Moreso the latter if I'm being honest. I can just barely tolerate Supernatural half the time and can't handle doctor or medical shows at all. Or at least the medical procedure parts.

I used to be able to handle horror movies when I was younger, but then I saw one that pushed my limits WAYYY over the edge and now I'm completely turned off by them. I still love Samhain/Halloween and all since it's an important day in Wicca. But I can't do the haunted attractions. And if I dress up it's normally something like a faerie or elf. Something mystical.

@tuijp: Oh he totally loves them. He's an affectionate cat overall though too. And super soft and fluffy.

@tuijp: Oh Geez! You're quite sadistic on the Sims aren't you?!?! I don't think I could ever do anything like that. If anything, I do everything I can to STOP my Sims from killing themselves by accident. Like if there's a fire, I get them away ASAP! The pets too.

@teatales: I never build houses from scratch. I take some of the other ones uploaded to the gallery and the place them on my lots. Then just edit them to my likings. (A lot of users are really nice and make houses that you can use freely.)

As for Mods, I use a few different sites.
https://modthesims.info/ (Good for almost any kind of mod you can imagine)
https://www.thesimsresource.com/ (Great for CC mods and getting all kinds of clothes and hairstyles and what not.)

You can also just look some up on Tumblr. Since a lot of modders load their stuff right to there.

Where did you download Sims from? If it's a digital download site like Origin I may be able to help you save some money on other packs.
