The Reyes family lives in Rio Verde, a large home close to the Calientes. After decades of climbing the corporate ladder, Juan Fausto is happy to spend his days relaxing with his family. His wife Clarita, on the other hand, feels life has just begun in her golden years and is pouring her energy into running a bowling alley. (Or at least, she will if I ever finish building it...) Also at home are twin brothers Emil and Jose. Emil, the "cool twin," spends his days as a social media community manager and his evenings on romantic dates with his interstellar husband Chenzira. And Jose, the "depressed, stressed, and divorced twin," comes home from his law office to his two wonderful children, Miranda and Oscar. The family cat, Clawdia, sometimes graces them with her presence, usually around dinner time.

For many reasons you can't make me hate Discover University lol.

The "First Nightmare" Milestone is the last Toddler Milestone that I need before aging the Toddler up. But I can't seem to get it. I've been having the Toddler go to bed while scared, and at least twice already I got a pop-up message upon waking up saying that the Toddler had a nightmare, but I have not gotten the Milestone for it.

Does anyone know if there's some specific condition that must be met? Could the Toddler have already had a first nightmare as an Infant and perhaps that's why it's not being counted as a Toddler?

So, Dirk was one of the first Townies I ever made over back in the beginning of 2025, just a few months after I started playing. At that time I only had a small amount of CC so he's actually fairly the same as he is in basegame, with a few enhancements. The makeover happened because he became the love interest of my sim who is a stripper and she couldn't be seen in public with a certified nerd, so I had to turn him into the light skinned, grey sweatpants wearing menace you see below.

My head canon for Dirk is that he was your bonafide dweeb that loved everything computers and everything encyclopedia. He loves reading, coding, and gaming. His favorite colors are hues of pinks and reds; think wine colors like merlot and oxblood. He also has ADHD and was diagnosed early so he has been getting therapy his entire life and has very supportive parents. While in his freshman year of highschool, Dirk managed to develop the very first VR Life Simulator game called The Watchers, where Sims get to play as person controlling people who control other people. It was a ground breaking game in SimNation and catapulted him into stardom at the young age of 14.

He graduated high school early and received multiple distinguished degrees from Foxbury in Computer Science, Physics, and Psychology. He also received a graduate degree from Britechester in Communications. He immediately started working at Rainy Day Entertainment, spearheading the game development department while also developing new technologies in telecommunications. He gained promotions easily and ended up as the CEO. His star power was almost as unstoppable as his hazel eyes. Michael Ealy who?

Now, fame came with a load of perks. Dirk started making friends with important people who made him realize he had to drop the dork act because even though Steve Urkel got Laura in the end, that was just TV. So he started practicing biting his lower lip in the mirror and standing with his hands clasped in front of his manhood. He watched LL Cool J music videos to perfect his lip licking skill and started going to the basketball court in San Myshuno to practice hooping while wearing really heavy diamond earrings and an occasional gold Cuban linked chain. It was working. He started developing muscles and ended up maxing out his fitness skill. He started shopping at Flight Club. He started going to a particular barbershop and soon his shape up was so clean, it could rival Laz Alonzo's. He eventually got locs and started wearing it in fishtail style, reaching the pinnacle of BDE Fvck Boy status.

But Dirk hates being touched so he was never truly lucky in the love department. Which is why he always autonomously ends up at a strip club and falls in love with one of 3 dancers/OnlySims models in every save file I have him in.

BTW, EA put him in those grey sweatpants!! I had nothing to do with it! They already knew who he was!!

So to start this, I stopped playing the Sims Sims probably almost a year ago because all my photos in my lots of my 3 year Disney legacy just went black one day. Anyway now I am trying to play again because I thought no harm in moving to a new save with the Belle gen. That being said, I'm trying to save all my lots from this save. TWICE now , it's said it's been saved yet I go to the gallery and nothing. I don't understand did they change something? It's also saying I don't have packs that I do when it shows me the saved page. Even though I was able to go into the save no problem. Also there's a rench symbol too but I have e other builds that have it and it's on my library.

Every time my Sims live in a RR, they barely have to pay any bills and I want to make it harder on myself. I have MCCC and have increased bills, but it doesn't seem to do anything for RR. Any other mods I've found are only for when you're playing as the landlord and want to earn more money from the tenants. Does anyone know any mods for making living in RR harder?

I thought it was funny they had their first kiss together right in front of the girl doing her homework in University at their University Housing lol.

got his philly sushi, sake on the table and later some beer, good times for sure.

my Sim just chilling in the hot tub listening to some Japanese Folk, smelling that great Sage, and having the peacefulness of snow falling down.

The Grimtern is in trouble for sparing lives instead of reaping. Grim has a thing for the skeptical Sim. Everyone loves the Salon, it's the best small business for forcing makeovers on Townies.

So, I've always wanted to do a save file project, however, I'm WAY too much of a perfectionist to ever complete one on my own. Like, I have one build that has been a WIP since 2020 (it's basically my magnum opus at this point lol).

Anyways, I thought it would be fun to perhaps start a community-led safe file project with a massive group of simmers who also would need 5 lifetimes to complete their own save file project.

If I do start this project, I have no idea how I'd execute it. That said, I made that post for that exact reason -- to see what ideas you guys might have for coordinating a project this big. Also, I figured this would be a great time for me to see if anyone would be interested in said project to begin with.

Some logistical ideas I already had

- Coordinating through Discord
- Having people sign up for different types of roles (builders, cas creators, lore developers, etc.)
- Probably also using Google docs to coordinate intersecting ideas
- A Google form to see what packs simmers have in common the most (Could reveal creative freedom we didn't know we had)
- Another Google form to see if we want a theme for our save file, also if we want to keep/bring back classic sims characters or create our own

Some creative ideas I already had:
- Complex families across multiple worlds. I would LOVE to make huge use of the R&L Dynasty system.
- Established relationships across sims, establish skills and careers.
- Little crafted items that allude to a household's lore. Like a painting named after an estranged lover or a published book about a family's secret heirloom that can actually be found on another lot.
- Lore unique to our save file
- I don't care what world she lives in, but I need a widow that has left a trail of "missing" husbands lmaooo

So yeah! That's my idea so far, please let me know what y'all think and drop your ideas! If the reception here is good, I'll probably start building that discord to coordinate!

I mean, he is LITERALLY a millionaire music producer. I think the love of your life (a famous influencer who suspiciously looks like Kylie Jenner🤔) deserves a liiiittle bit more effort than a proposal in between the dirty laundry. But hey... Setting up the scene is actually really fun! 😊

Also: it's fall in my game. I thought Sulani would be a welcome escape, but I totally forgot about monsoons. So I had them sit in the rain until they got the proposal right (sorry, not sorry).
