Things you've only recently discovered about the game

[Nonni]

I found out that I can make babies and children and manipulate exactly what they will look like later in life.

In CAS, I create the Sim exactly how I want, including as much CC as I want. Then I switch the age to teen, child, or toddler. Pretty cool, I thought. Course, I'm probably one of the last to discover this, lol.

I just found this tool also. It works great if you want to preview what sims will produce pretty babies.
I also use it to test self-sim requests so that the requester's sim can have pretty babies.
It is better than Body Shop for testing self-sims to make sure they will look good at all ages.
A friend found away to make the Body Shop screen larger. I have to fiddle around with that - if someone already knows please share.

I recently started playing around with fruit and vegetable gardens in Freetime, so after i harvested all of my orchard trees and strawberry vines, i go to stock up my juicer, and believe it or not, i found out that i could stock the juicer with the boots that i fished out from the park earlier. the sims can drink the pureed boot, and whenever they do, this strange electrecution animation happens and they giggle as if they had smoked something.

Plus sims with gold badges in gardening can talk to their plants. that one was a complete surprise.

[Theraven]

If you stock with enough fruit, they can also serve juice (6 glasses)

Don't think I've actually tried it, but I once had a modified juicer or something that let you make and serve all juices without having to stock it.

Pureed Boot? now that is funny, I never knew that & can't wait to see that one myself.   Do they make fish juice too? I just figure if you'd drink boot juice you'd drink fish juice for sure .

[fatedicewolf]

Haha, I remember the boot I don't think you can do it with fish but then again it's been so long since I actually played the game lol.

[screechingvilnce]

i haven't tried it with a fish yet, so i'm gonna try that.

Another thing i just found out, if a sim survives elctrocution, they get a serious case of amnesia and forget that their families even existed.

[Theraven]

Not sure if it's possible to make fish puree, but if you leave a afish on the ground at winter, the penguin will come by and eat it 

[fatedicewolf]

Really??? I did not know that. Haha, I'm gonna go do it now

[miros1]

The penguin gets very bent out of shape when you hang the fish on the wall!

[DaSpecial1]

Ha! I'm learning so much from this thread. Too cute, I'll have to feed that penguin now Then, after that of course, I'll need a lawn sign that says "no feeding the penguin."

Once Bodyshop has loaded, hit the 'Alt' and 'Enter' Keys and to revert, hit the same keys.

A wonderful tip!

[Paden]

I'm going to have to remember that, as well.

This is way too tempting to resist, but I can't help it...

THE GAME!!!

lol, you all just lost ^_^

On a side note, I recently discovered how much fun weddings can be. When I married Link and Zelda, I had 8 guests come over and attend the backyard wedding they had. I had a bar, cake, and buffet (though I didn't set out the food cuz I didn't know how), and champagne for toasting. Link was toasted 3 or 4 times by different people. It was so cool...

My sim got chased by this pain in the bum wolf named midnight, and it wound up showing up as a positive moodlet in his memories
