Guys, I have the CREEPIEST bug right now
Everything is FROZEN!
Time has stopped at 17:26. All sims are standing completely still, as if frozen with freezer clock. However, there is no freezer clock on the lot and I haven’t done anything. If I exit without saving, the same thing happens again at exactly 17:26.
The game itself has not frozen. I can still open buy and build mode with no problems, click to cancel actions etc. the issue is that nothing happens since the sims are frozen in place. What makes it even creepier is that the television, for some reason, seems to be the only thing not frozen, as it’s playing the werewolf horror movie, all while the sims stand completely still.
Ok, this is super weird. Anyone have any ideas as to which mod could be causing this?
I had this same thing happen in my game a looong time ago; in my case, it was caused by an object with buggy coding (I think something was messed up in the Main, but I wasn’t making objects myself then so I might remember it wrong). This was several years ago, mind, and IIRC the creator fixed it pretty quickly, so I doubt it’s caused by the exact same object. It was an object and not a mod, though, I’m 100% sure of that - and it didn’t have anything to do with time or freezing Sims or anything like that, it was something completely unrelated.
Sorry I can’t be more specific than that. :(
I had this recently. Something(s) on the lot is erroring so madly the game can't cope. It's basically the jump bug turned up to eleven. Turn on boolProp testingcheatsenabled true and be prepared to click a lot of boxes.

Learning from Captain America 2k17 (via cptsteven)
The first time Bucky laughs in the 21st century is the first time he sees this
My last piece Tony Stark of Winterfell
You are an anonymous professional assassin with a perfect reputation. You lead an ordinary life outside of your work. You’ve just been hired to kill yourself.
My first thought is that the middle man I use–calls himself ‘Leader’, real name Brett Thompson, 46, balding, lives in PA–has uncovered my identity. Why else would I be staring down at a picture of my own face? I think it’s a warning, that he knows about the Sanchez job, and I nearly reach for my go bag.
Then I see the client’s name.
Vi Larson, the file tells me, male, 32, computer analyst.
I close the manila folder, tossing it away from me. The whiskey sour’s gone warm in my hand, but I drink it down anyway, eyes distant. I don’t need to read any more of the file. I can fill in the gaps well enough.
Funnily enough, this betrayal is just as sharp and unpleasant as the first one, the one that got me into this business in the first place.
“You at least owe me a crime of passion, you bastard,” I mutter into my drink. I close my eyes and sigh, willing away the stinging in my heart. I knew that my relationship was in trouble, but this is just cold.
In a way, I can’t believe it. Is a divorce really that hard? But, no, I know Vi. He’s methodical, analytical, and competent. If anything, hiring an assassin with a reputation like mine is right in line with his personality. Nothing but the best, even in the murder game.
I should be flattered, really. My rates aren’t cheap. Whatever I did to make him send this in–and he did, there’s his social security, his fingerprint, everything–it must have been killer.
I set my glass down on the counter and tuck the folder under my arm. I need to think and I do my best thinking in the tub. Vi won’t be back from his “business” trip for another three days, during which I’m supposed to kill myself.
As I head up the stairs, I can’t help but laugh. Finally, after three years of marriage, my husband does something interesting. And it breaks my fucking heart.
——————————————
He wants me to make it painless but horrific. There’s a script in the document, something that’s more common than people think, and it’s hard to read it, even surrounded by bubbles and soothing music.
“Your husband sent me. Said he needed to shed some dead weight.” I snort at the pun and close my eyes, resting the file against my face so it doesn’t get wet. Unfortunately, the tears do that anyway.
“Fuck,” I say. “You bastard.”
This is absolutely stunning. Brilliant!
Sauron > Trump
I keep seeing these memes comparing Trump to Sauron, but I think that comparison is pretty unfair to Sauron. Consider:
- He has thousands of years of experience in government as Lord of Mordor. - He always pays his contractors all of the rings that he owes them. - He remained faithful to Morgoth even after he got thrown into the Outer Dark – he never traded him in for a younger, prettier dark lord. - He doesn’t want to ban immigration from Harad. - His university in Eregion wasn’t a fraud – Celebrimbor learned some actual ring-lore there. - He has never gotten on the Palantir at 3 am because Faramir insulted him or to tell everyone to watch Galadriel’s sex tape. - He was wounded in battle with Isildur, so he actually earned that Purple Heart. - When he was defeated, his spirit departed from Barad-Dur. He didn’t go around complaining that Frodo’s quest was rigged. - When he met Luthien, he didn’t just start kissing her without her consent, even though he’s a celebrity and she was a total 10. - He was a great poet – he even won a song battle with Finrod Felagund. Just imagine if Trump tried to write the ring poem:
The Elves, they’ve got three rings. Three rings, and I don’t know where they are. I don’t. Maybe Crooked Elrond – I call him Crooked Elrond, because you’ve never seen a more crooked Elf in all of your life – I bet he has one. And maybe Galadriel too. Such a nasty woman.
And the Dwarves. They’re rapists, they’re drug dealers, and some of them I assume are good people. They’re always down there in their halls of stone, working on something, going bing-bing- bong-bing, bing-bong, bing. They’ve got seven rings. Seven whole rings, do you believe that. And they’re some real bad hombres. I’m going to build a wall around Moria, and I’m going to make Durin’s Folk pay for it.
Now some people say that Men, they all die. I mean, that’s what they’re saying. Men are mortal. They sound like a lot of losers to me. “Oh look at me, I’m a mortal Man, and I’m going to die eventually no matter what.” Sad! I tell you what, though, folks. I’m going to give them nine rings. People call me Annatar, the bringer of gifts. Because handing out rings, it’s what I do. It’s what I do.
Now I have the One Ring. And I gotta tell you, this is the best ring. Absolutely the best. Its power is just yuge. You’ve never seen a ring like this. Solid gold, and personally inscribed by me with all the best words. And I’m gonna take this ring, and I’m going to bring them all. And then I’m going to bind them. I’m going to bring them all to Mordor. We’ve got shadows here, we’ve got darkness, we’ve got everything. It’s just the classiest place you’ve ever seen. And we’re going to Make Mordor Great Again!
Do you guys remember how in Contact, when they needed someone to get in the mysterious spacecraft and meet the aliens, Ellie was clearly the most qualified candidate, but then they picked that rival asshole to go instead because he said he liked Jesus more, but then the spacecraft got blown up and the rival asshole died, and so Ellie got to go after all like she deserved?
I’m gonna go watch that movie again.
the boys finally make it to their vacation destination! looks like I’m turning this into a series haha
Hmm, I just saw a ‘Tony never really knew Steve’ post (pretty much another Tony-and-Steve-weren’t-really-friends post) by an pro-Steve, anti-Tony fan, and…
You know, Tony never really did know Steve, did he? Though not exactly by his own choice. Tony showed every sign of trying his best to be there for Steve and the team. Donating his time, his money, his buildings, all to help the team that he tried so hard to be a part of. In Civil War, we even see him doing his damned best to keep corrupt officials like Ross away from Steve and his team, even though he has to know by now that he’ll never be thanked for it.
Steve, on the other hand, never really even seems to try to get to know Tony. He starts his interactions with Tony by judging him and telling him outright that Steve doesn’t think he’s hero material. Going forward he just keeps on thinking the worst of Tony. When Ultron happens, he turns on Tony so, so quickly, as if it’s just what he was expecting from Tony all along. In Civil War he is blatantly judgmental of Tony’s actions, never seeming to bother to care that there’s a man who thinks of him as a friend who is begging him to listen right in front of him. He gives Tony a hint of grudging acceptance, but turns from Tony at the first hint that Tony’s done something Steve would disapprove of, not wondering for a second if there might be a reason for Tony’s actions or listening when Tony tried to explain. Steve Rogers accepted the resources Tony offered throughout the movies, but he never bothered to care about the man offering those resources enough to try to get to know him.
Who should I be judging for Steve and Tony’s (lack of) relationship exactly? (And there’s always judgment implied in those posts.) Because the thought that Tony tried his fucking best for a man who never bothered to care about him, and who then left him bleeding and broken in a fucking frozen wasteland, just makes me sadder for Tony then I typically am on any other standard day. So thanks a lot for that.
One of the things I absolutely LOVE about Tony in Civil War is how much he puts himself and his heart out there. And I don’t just mean his last memory which he shares with an auditorium full of students (although, WOW! That’s a big move). What I really mean is the conversation between Tony and Steve.
So one of the best ways for co-operative negotiation and emotionally mature leadership (both excellent strategies for avoiding conflict (I’ve done work in this area, forgive me if I get too technical)) is not to keep your cards close to your chest. Be open with yourself and it will encourage others to be open with you. This is great for closer relationships or just getting to the heart of temporary issues.
The instant Tony walks into the room with Steve he’s come prepared to be personally open. He’s brought his Dad’s pens, ready to offer up that... not great history, because he knows its common ground he and Steve have. Obviously that little offering doesn’t go too well because it’s still a raw topic with Tony. But he’s trying. So when Steve offers up another sensitive topic - Pepper - Tony doesn’t shy away from it. He wants to, and prevaricates as to what to say. But he sticks to his guns, keeps himself open and talks about his relationship problems. Tony is so open and honest in this scene and it works so well.
Well except...
You know who isn’t open? Not just in this scene but in the entire film? Steve
At no point does he say what he’s feeling. Or explain why he thinks what he thinks. Not even when he comes to Bucky. We get no hints as to how he feels about him or what sort of history they have together. Don’t get me wrong, we see it in how he acts and the lengths he goes to. But then he doesn’t explain himself. He hides himself. There’s no honesty, he’s impenetrable.
Which is where it all goes wrong.
So I have to say that if there’s a lack of clarity between the two of them as to whether they’re friends or not, at least it can be said that Tony is TRYING.
Steve, not so much.
When you’re grappling but it turns into a make out session! :) Based on this!
