Some replies!

Still have quite a few more to get around to, but it’s a start. 😀 Paging @blissful-indigo, @holleyberry, @alienpod, @mswn, @littleblondesim, and @kayleigh-83!

replied to your post “Do you struggle to pay rent living in NY, even with a good salary…”

Thanks for sharing your experiences. I feel you. Just relocated to Seattle and am living in a micro-studio apartment because rent is absurd here, too. Not quite as bad as NYC and San Francisco, but not much better.

I loved this little tidbit. Thank you for sharing. 🙂

Oh, of course! ❤ Thank you for reading (even though I have an extreme tendency to ramble). Tori, I can only imagine. D: I can only speak for NYC because that’s all I know (aside from college, this is the first time I’d be living on my own – heck, my family’s been in the same apartment since before I was born!) so I really have no idea about the housing/rental market elsewhere. But I’m sure it’s the same in a lot of major cities. It’s the (literal) price we pay for convenience and/or opportunities. :

Can I say I was hoping eventually someone would put all those links in one place 😛

Heheh, much obliged. 😉 I hope I didn’t miss any! I’m waaaaay overdue for updating my resource list, anyway, so this was a good start.

Thank you both! ❤ A little Pooklet/Drew randomizer magic goes a long way. 😉 Also (spoiler alert!), but Graham agrees with you, @alienpod. ;D

I would much rather be asked than have people avoid the question.

This! I don’t mind the question, really. It’s random, sure, but I don’t mind answering it.

replied to your post “What’s your ethnicity?”

what a weird question to ask someone.

Weird, yes, but more in a random-weird way, not an offensive-weird way. 🙂 At least for me.

valhallasims
replied to your post “What’s your ethnicity?”

dont take it the wrong way, but I only heard Americans answer this question like that lol. Someone ask me that question, ill say im Canadian. They have to ask me about my ancestors to know my ethnicity. 🙂

Well, my blog specifically states I’m a New Yorker, so it can already be inferred I’m American. And, considering I had just posted a picture of myself when I received this ask, one could assume anon was asking purely about my genetic makeup. Which is what I answered. 🙂

Replies, part 1!

In which I spend a lot of time rambling about color preferences. 😀

sue-simaddict-tblr-blog answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

Yes there’s a few colours I dispose of imediately I thought it was just Me 😡

Nope, definitely not just you! Looks like we all do it. 🙂

ant0nink0 answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

ah , i love pastels , but i was playing with realistic things before , so i delete them everytime i see them … and this is why my townies are corrupted … i hate NEON . those bright colors ..i hate them

Aw yeah, I’m not too big on neon. I actually like most neon colors, but they have to be used in moderation (like accents or trim or something). I can’t use entire walls or couches in bright neon colors, it hurts my eyes. 😛

illykitty answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

Any neons or super saturated colours like the blue screen mentioned. Anything else is fine. If I could make my own palette, I’d make my colours muted and dusty.

Ooh, I think you should definitely try your hand at making a palette! I love dusty and muted colors, so I’d be interested in seeing it. 😀

allisas answered your question“Anyone else do this?”

Yep, as alienpod named it: the missing-mesh-flashing-blue (or blue-screen-of-death-blue) will never be tolerated in my game. It gives me the creeps. 😛

Yes! I can’t believe I didn’t think of that one. Which is a shame, because I like that color in real life. Seeing it on my screen, however, is a different story. 😛 

eulaliasims answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

Same, I don’t use a lot of bright shades. That pink and purple get tossed, and usually anything yellow or orange goes too (I love a good gold or burnt orange, tho).

Yes! I’m a big fan of orange and yellow, but I’m pretty particular about the shades. I love gold/mustard yellows and burnt oranges, though. 😀 (Those are two of my favorite shades to wear in real life, too!)

sullivanrandomness answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

Yes, there is a shade of purple that I refer to as bright/dark purple. It burns my eyes and I immediately get rid of anything in that colour!

I’m pretty sure I know exactly which shade you’re thinking of, and I toss that one, too! 🙂

ajaysims answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

I hadn’t really thought about it before, but I do tend to delete dark green stuff x.x generally if there’s a whole bunch of colours I restrict myself to one of black, white, brown, red, orange, yellow, light green, turquoise, light blue, purple, pink

Oooh, I love dark green! :3 But I find that it doesn’t always translate well in CC (especially furniture), so I wind up getting rid of it, too. It’s smart to limit yourself to certain colors – if I weren’t so indecisive and forever changing my palette preferences, I’d try to do that, too!

discombobulatedmirrortron answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

i’m the opposite in that i keep all my purple items, aha. i delete too light pastels myself, or dark earth tones

Hahah, that’s what’s so cool about the community! Everyone has such different color preferences. When I see people like @lilithpleasant or @dirk-dreamer use pink, purple, and pastels in their decorating, I always tell myself I should give it another try! But then I get in-game and hate everything I do and fall back into the same color schemes, lmao. 

alienpod answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

periwinkle is the worst, but that missing-mesh-flashing-blue is a close second

YES! ANOTHER PERIWINKLE HATER! I thought it was just me, like honestly I see that color everywhere and I thought I was weird for not liking it. Like, it’s not eye-searingly bright, it even looks like a relaxing color, but I just hate it?! And of course, missing-mesh-flashing-blue! How could I forget?

vampireprincessmaria answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

I hate certain shades of purple and turquoise. Unfortunately I do like light, bright AND dark colours, so there’s far too much stuff in my Downloads folder.

Hahaha, I’m sure there’s too much in mine too! A lot of times it depends on the CC, some clothing/furniture/deco looks better in bright colors, and some looks better in darker colors. For example, I tend to use darker/muted colors for my build mode stuff, like walls and floors. But I don’t mind some bright colors in my bodyshop folder or decorating. 🙂 

soo-bee-well answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

I’m like this too. I always discard pastels, most neons, all oranges, browns and yellow-ish shades of green. >.<

I love orange, brown, and green in real life, but I’m pretty picky about the shades I used in my TS2 game. At least we know we have some semblance of self-control over our downloads folder – we can cull the colors we don’t like! 😛

holleyberry answered your question “Anyone else do this?”

That neon green. It hurts my eyes. Also that bright pink can go. I like pastels, but not bright, or neon colors.

Oh God, yes, that neon green! I don’t know how some people are able to use such bright color palettes in their games. A lot of the colors are pretty, sure, but my eyes! They burn! I sometimes wonder if it’s just my monitor, or I’m just getting old and my eyes can’t handle these things, haha.

I have some birdcages. The folder I have says Nixy Take to the Sky.

Ahhh these are lovely, thanks Holley! This takes the detective work out of hunting down my old ones. 😀

And what a view they have. 🙂

Yep! When the terrain starts getting wonky, just place a house with panoramic windows and call it a room with a view. 😉

syreni-sims replied to your photoset:We start off the Blake-Dunne round with Sheila and…

*confetti* I’ve missed these two.

I’ve missed them too! I must be the slowest player out there, it takes me for-eh-ver to finish a round. D:

Also, thank you @holleyberry for your comment on my last post! I’m still trying to figure out this tumblr reply thing all over again…

holleyberry replied to your photo “Organizing my plants…”

What’s the process there? What’s with the colors?

I’m a little collection-crazy in my game, so I was organizing things based on how I wanted to sort them into collections. I have pots, separated plants, Mutske’s add-ons, hanging plants, etc…. ^^;

shastakiss replied to your photo “Organizing my plants…”

LOL! actually, that’s pretty much what the screen would look like if I were playing… not one of my finer talents 😀
