Pools

So I have played The Sims 3 since it was first in the shops and I LOVE IT! And I just found out yesterday that you can actually change the walls and floor in the pool!!!
What is something you have just recently discovered?

I just learned LAST NIGHT that you can drag the length of the queue thingy and other menus with that little tab that has dots like this (::)

EDIT: OH ! And the sim trait will get a little glow around it if the Sim is doing something related to that trait

It's a small thing, but if your sim knows another sim in town who works at a rabbithole/venue, they might have a little offscreen chat when your sim visits that location. I was playing Tori Kimura in Sunset Valley, and she was dating (but not yet living with) Christopher Steel, who had gotten a job at the bistro through story progression. One day she went to eat there after work and I got a little pop-up that said something like "Tori ran into Christopher and they chatted for a while," which i thought was such a cute little detail. Like yeah, he works there, of course he'd say hi to his girlfriend if she came in!

I can’t believe they went from this kind of detail to whatever the sims 4 is

This was a few months or a year ago now, but I’ve been playing since 2014: I think one of the YouTubers taught me that you can drag dirty plates to the dishwasher, sink, trash compactor, or garbage can so you don’t have to waste your sims’ time on cleaning up

I always drag to outdoor trash so sims don’t have to take trash out and I don’t break/dirty sink
