Three sisters chili is actually vegetarian in real life. In some native north American cultures corn, squash and beans (a complete protein when eaten together) are the three sisters, corn is tall and allows the squash and beans to crawl up for more sunlight. The beans add nitrogen to the soil for all, and the squash trails all over, controlling weeds for all. Symbiosis in nature. Find a recipe and try some, it is delicious.

How have you done the following things: 1. Made your sim look more tired as their energy levels deplete 2. Have her get her period 3. Get pop ups like the "hero personality archetype hint"
@emmsimley21 күн бұрын
I'm not sure about how Jesse looked 'tired'. I think it might have been the 'Slice of Life' mod by KawaiiStacie, but that mod has since been massively overhauled and I haven't tried the new version. Menstrual cycle and the personality archetypes are both from the 'Wonderful Whims' mod by Turbodriver.

Nice series! Hope to see more soon. Have you been to Sylven Glade? Hidden world location is prettiest of the 3.Travel thru a huge pretty tree. Woodcrest? I think. (Between the river and the BFF household, along a small footpath. Do prompted interactions till the door opens in the trunk.) Have done a bit of gardening, myself. Always keep a seed for every found plant, I hide em away in a travel chest to be certain they are not lost. It's a royal pain to have to start from scratch finding one....AGAIN! Also, Granite Falls, I'd bet (episode 21) , is where allergy issues began. Poison Fireleaf should not be handled if yr Sim is allergy prone. Wolfbane, Valerian root, and Plasma Fruit Trees are for crafting Occult potions/remedies n such. Plasma Fruit is Vampire food- a blood substitute. Wolfbane for Werewolves. These are separate from the herbalist brews. Just a friendly FYI. Visit a Potion Shop 4 more info/supplies. Your Sim has an iron gut, had a plasma drink and ate plasma meal with zero complaint.❤ Simmer since Sims 1, but totally missed Sims 2...somehow. Subscribed

Welcome to the series! Glad you're enjoying it so far ☺️ I'm a bit of a storyteller, so finding a way to work in having Jesse visit Sylvan Glade (especially as she lives in Henford on Bagley) is not the easiest. But if there are plants there that she doesn't have, it might be worth a look. Poor Jesse and her allergies! But I think you are right about where they began back in Granite Falls. Thanks for all the plant tips 🍄🌱 Must go back and harvest more of the plants (maybe another family holiday?). I'm on a mini quest to have one of every variety in the game before this challenge is done 🤔

Personally, since not all cultures require women to change thier surname (Like Latin America). I personally find it annoying that they are required to change surnames at marriage in the game. I have gone back many times trying to change surnames back to thier original, but the game always flips them back to hubbys surname.
@emmsimley28 күн бұрын
I honestly can't remember what the game does after marriages if you have no mods installed. MC Command Center has options to determine which surname is applied. I usually override it when playing a generational legacy challenge and want to keep the original family name I chose for the heir. Or if it doesn't make sense for a particular character who would want to keep their name.
