Yours DON'T show in the mirror? Because a brief test indicated that apparently the Lala could see herself in the mirror still. You sure that works in LN?

I expected them to NOT show, but was disappointed to see they do. I just had amusing thoughts of sims being depressed over not being able to see themselves in the mirror when directed to do so.
Narmy:
I don't play vampires because of how ridiculously easy it is to gain skills, especially for children and teens.
Plus, free food... unless there are meals you can cook with plasma fruit? It's kinda stupid that they give vampires a fruit, of all things, since gardening is usually done during the day....

Yes, that's one of the running gags of Awesomeland, that the Lala cannot see herself in the mirror. The hilarity of Snob sims being denied their "I Am Beautiful" moodlet because they cannot see themselves in the mirror.

Because it clearly states that the usage of the word as a part of blood is relatively modern and the base meaning is that of a mobile/maleable thing or something which spreads out into flatness, for which any liquid might fulfill the definition.
Would I be correct in reading the dates on the etymology quote as being when the particular usage of the word started to appear? 1845 might be "relatively modern" and the word "plasma" still has a variety of uses, but today the word "plasma" does have a specific meaning if you are already on the topic of blood. I think that if they were searching for a word with which any liquid could be referred to, they should have used something more suitable.
Today it is basic 'common knowledge' (I don't like that phrase but I can't think of another one) that plasma is the part of blood that does not include red blood cells. I say "common knowledge" in the sense that it is taught to young kids and teenagers at school (at least it is where I live) - the people that EA is trying to keep from offending?
To me, even if EA had been aware of the information you've shared, it wouldn't change my feeling that the above decision just doesn't make sense.
