drinking a can of soda is better than not drinking anything at all. “junk” food is better than no food at all. just rinsing your mouth out with mouthwash is better than no oral hygiene at all. changing into a different set of pyjamas is better than not changing at all. getting up just to sit down on the chair across the room for a bit is better than not getting up at all. changing just your pillowcase is better than not changing your bedding at all. cracking a window open is better than getting no fresh air at all.
if you don’t have enough spoons for full tasks, smaller adaptations are better than nothing at all. it’s okay if you don’t have the energy to actively fight today. just staying afloat is enough. you are enough.
i felt like there wasn’t enough polyam trio art memes so i decided to make my own <3 self indulgence be damned
❤️💛💙
( feel free to share and tag me in any of the cute art you make i would love to see!!! 🥺💕)
So yeah
OK new game. Use this website to see how common your first name is, and then put that number in the tags.
hey there everyone ! do your past vs current self !
Windbrook Save 2.0 (In collaboration with @cowboycid and @bobnewbie)- Feat. a family by @oshinsimss
DISCLAIMER: While this is a CC free save file, it is pack and kit heavy. To give more context, this save utilizes ALL EPs, GPs, and SPs (except My First Pets) as well as ALL KITS (except Bust The Dust and Poolside Splash) While you may not own every pack or kit that I used, the save file is still playable. Everything missing will be substituted.
What's new in 2.0
Willow Creek has new homes, rentals, and one new retail lot
Newcrest has been built (restaurant, gym, retail, and generic lots)
Magnolia Promenade has been built, while somewhat finished, still needs work
Every lot that's finished (including commercial) and families have descriptions, stories, jobs, etcetera
New townies from @simsontherope and @cowplant-snacks
Families from @bobnewbie
A special family, The Westfalls made exclusively by @oshinsimss
Special collaboration with @cowboycid
Other worlds are still empty, I do plan on building new worlds
SCREENSHOTS AND MORE INFO BELOW
SPECIAL THANKS
First and foremost I want to thank my good good friend @cowboycid for collaborating with me on this project. I'm so happy we met when we did because I was starting to lose light. You inspired me to keep going, and for that I appreciate you DOWN. You're a real one sis, no tea. Hugs and kisses for ever. I also want to thank @bobnewbie for coming through with families. You don't understand just how life saving they were. I didn't get a chance to use all of them, and my original concept for the save fell through due to time constraints, but I'm thankful to have had access to the diverse array of families you made for the save. A huge thank you to @oshinsimss for taking the time to create a beautiful family, The Westfalls, exclusively for Windbrook 2.0, I love them so much. Also a big thank you to @cowplant-snacks and @simsontherope for their townies. Without them, the townies would just be... ugh, you know. So, thank you for having them available on the gallery. I also want to thank @anthonydaydreamer for just showing up for me through this whole process. Like, you just get it boo! Hugs and kisses! Finally a quick apology to those I intended on sending preview copies of the save. Time was not on my side near the end, things took more time than I thought. Honestly, I needed to get this project off my computer ASAP. I really hope you guys understand. Big hugs and kisses. Thank you everyone for all the kind words and support over these past few months, your words kept me going, even if I didn't feel I had anymore left to give. This save is a love letter to you all, the simblr community.
Thank you, honestly, truly.

Hi! I am sending my friend a pen pal package and gifts in the mail. I am new to mailing things and was wondering if you had any kind of suggestions? I also am not sure what to include in the letter I want to write him since we talk almost every day. He likes reading and anything trippy. Thanks in advance!
Hi babe, first off you are a incredible and your friend is going to love whatever you send. I am still learning how to send packages so I can’t give too many tips in that regard BUT I have a few suggestions about presentation.
Packaging makes even the smallest gift feel expensive: I love saving tissue paper from Christmas and online shopping packages as well as the bells and whistles such as the little bags, cardboard backing, washi tape, etc. I love padding the bottom with some decorated tissue paper and wrapping 1-2 of the total gifts with some wrapping and twine. It looks beautiful and makes that 1$ magnet feel 20$.
Its all in the Note: The best touch to a package is the note. It can be placed at the top of the package to be read first or tucked in a book (if thats a gift, more on that below). It can be the size of a index card, written in fountain pen with a small envelope tucked with a sticker because who doesn’t love a sticker. While yes you talk every time, but why these gifts? Why are you sending it to them? You wanted to send them something that made you think of them (my favorite reason) or a special occasion or you wanted to celebrate them and their mind.
A La Gifts: Every time someone has sent me a book I cry. There is nothing more euphoric than ripping off the brown craft paper off a book and seeing that scuffed well loved cover and reading a inscription on the first page. It is the most underrated love language in the entire world. I would send everyone a book this way if I could. If you can I suggest buying a thrifted copy especially if its a older book. There are some fantastic resources online to buy thrifted books. Now regarding specialized book for your pen pal I would recommend some of the following:
The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe
Naked Lunch by William S Burroughs
The Crying of Lot 49 by Thomas Pynchon
Slaughterhouse - Five by Kurt Vonnegut
Rosemary’s Baby by Ira Levin
I hope this wee guide has helped you and when sending the package reach out to you local USPS or whatever postal service you use and ask how to compile the package and/or letter.
Good luck!
xx Savannah
When you’re not used to being confident, confidence feels like arrogance. When you’re used to being passive, assertiveness feels like aggression. When you’re not used to getting your needs met, prioritizing yourself feels selfish. Your comfort zone is not a good benchmark.

a non post-apocalyptic (but still rundown) version of millhaven from my dead end save file - now everyone can live somewhat happy, LHV free lives!
CONTENT WARNING: storylines involving drug use & violence
i own all packs and kits - you can still play in the save but lots will have missing objects and sims will be (naked if you have ww) missing clothes.
there’s no longer gonna be a no cc version of the save, but all mods and cc are optional and nothing drastic changes if you don’t download them.
22 sims / 5 lots made for millhaven
i also made a few new misc world townies, got rid of all the maxis households, and added extra townies + npc service sims (by @cowplant-snacks, @simsontherope, pets by pugowned, #florwaltownies made by portsim players + more) so please check household descriptions for credit and thank you to all of the creators on the gallery <3
happy october! there’s seasonal festivities and decorations scattered all around portsim 🍂🎃
notes:
view the portsim save file’s update log for more info on previously added worlds + features.
highly suggest checking out the history of millhaven and other dead end things for all of the lore.
i included my mcc settings if you don’t want townies to keep breaking up and adopting/popping out babies like crazy.
please @ me + use #portsim save file in anything involving the save! i’d love to see it <3
*required mods and cc*
It's VERY important Tokoyami, he swears!!
