He looks so ANGRY that he's passed out on the floor...

Maybe because rocks come from "Mother" Earth? *shrugs* Lots of weird stuff like that.

Another tip for the new guy:

We don't like double posting here. We prefer, that if you have multiple people to respond to that you use the quote function (which you know how to do) and combine them all into one post. Some other forums want one reply for each post, but here it's different (we frown on post count pumping and bumping threads) If you can, modify your posts and combine them all into one. When you are making a new post, you can scroll down and view older posts and hit the "insert quote" button and it will automagically add the tag to what you are typing.

Good luck. I'm letting you know all this because you seem to actually be trying. Keep it up.

Don't encourage it. We get more than enough in English grammar threads.

You're such a waste of time and space.

I could go into a list of name translations that are all "of X" have the same XnoY setup, but you wouldn't listen because you know sooo much more about EVERYTHING.

You are such a fucking moron.

Studied the language for 6 years. All those translations are in fact RIGHT.

Yes, but ni and wa do not TRANSLATE into English. So why it may be "identical to English allative "to"" that doesn't make it MEAN "to." That was my point. Head peen. "O" "NO" "WA" and "NI" do not have an English translation. So, if you did a word for word translation, you wouldn't get anywhere. That was the topic at hand, so that is what I was talking about. It was also greatly watered down explaination so that people who haven't studied the langunage would get it.

For another example:

Neko no ai

Can be translated as follows and still be correct because "NO" doesn't have an English counterpart. It's merely a possessive marker.

"Cat of love"

"Cat's love"

"Love cat"

"Cat love"

It was in a different section.

Now, try dialing down the 'tude before you get eaten. People have been trying to help you.

Japanese and Chinese are similiar that way. You don't need things like "to the" in the language because it's implied. It helps that they have words(?) that do thinks like mark the subject of the sentence and another to imply what the verb is doing.

I went to the park.

Watashia wa paaku ni ikiimashita.

Directly translated: "I park went."

Wa marks the subject, I. And ni lets you know that iku (go) is the verb. The 'mashita' verb form lets you know it was past tense. If it was "itte" it'd be a command to go to the park. If it was "ikiimasu" then you are going to the park.

Now, ad a "ka" to the end of the sentence? It automagically becomes a question. "I went to the park?"

Pescado wins the internets for the rest of forevah.

Won't ever happen. Game is rated Teen, remember?

You don't get fed in prison if you're just there in a holding cell. Which, considering that your sim doesn't stay overnight or get an orange jumpsuit, you should just consider them being tossed in a holding cell with drunks and idiots.

Heheh.

Woohooing in the plastic play castle then? Not that there IS one in the Sims...

Only if they make weird animal noises or use loud toys. Don't really see the issue.

Bad parenting if they were woohooing in a dressing room while the kids played in the store. =oP

It'd be bad parenting if the kids were in the same room.

*laughs* I just noticed it. It messed with my head. Couldn't decide if he was some sort of slug boy, into tentacle pr0n, or really, really surprised. =p

Huzzah!

Holy **** what is up with your avatar? O_O

Hit the ... button.

I think so. Can't picture it right now. It's tiiiiiny though.

Be sure you hit the "Save Sim" button while in the CAS mode, Inge. Saving the actual game after looking in the mirror will not have the same affect.

No one else has a problem posting a picture with their pudding.

Pics or it didn't happen.

Is there a way to add adults with a "childish" trait?
