"The Sims 4" has many qualities that get overlooked because of the lack of an open world and other attributes "The Sims 3" possessed. This game has many great aspects about it that need more appreciation! The first part of my adulation for the game wasn't enough love, so here's the second part!

8. The complexities of the family tree.

If your family isn't the regular family, your family tree allows you to know if another sim isn't your full-blooded relative (i.e., stepmom, stepdad, stepsister, stepbrother, in-laws, half-sister, half-brother, step-grandpa, step-grandma). I think this feature is neat.

9. The addition of the game packs.

The addition of this pack further distinguishes the expansion packs from the stuff packs. It plays as a middle ground between the two -- expansion packs include large amounts of upgrades to your game (i.e., new world, activities, new buildings, interactions), whereas stuff packs include new items for your game (i.e., clothes, hairstyles, household objects). Game packs include new gameplay features, objects, experiences, but not necessarily to the extent the expansion packs do. In essence, expansion packs are at the top, with game packs following after, and then stuff packs.

10. The pregnancies look more realistic.

In "The Sims 3," the pregnancies didn't look as realistic as they do in "The Sims 4." Look at the differences:

Not only are pregnancies more realistic in looks, but also in interactions and sims' needs. In "The Sims 4," your hunger and bladder motives are affected greatly and decrease at a higher rate, which is awesome! I love the realistic aspect.

11. Creating-A-Sim features and additions.

When creating your sim in the beginning, you have a more advanced control of the features you want on your sim. You can choose how far away you want your eyes to be, how pouty you want your lips to look, how small or wide you want your hips, how big or small you want your feet to be, and you can manipulate the size and shape of your sim.

12. The teenagers can exchange promise rings.

I think this feature is so cute! If your teen sim's relationship with their partner is going great, you can exchange promise rings with each other. I remember I did this with my teen sim at one time and when they and their partner became young adults, I had them become engaged and then married.

13. You can move from one world to another without starting over.

I enjoy the action of moving around as I please from world to world without having to start over from scratch, in achievements, promotions, and other things!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
