Solitaire (the game) is so boring it makes you sleepy or puts you into a meditative mood, so it serves a purpose.
Sims does not. It has maddening quirks a person works around, which constitutes a game, I guess.
However, The Sims 4 Cottage Living Expansion Pack is the one to break this chain. The Sims announced that if you purchase The Sims 4 Cottage Living Expansion Pack by September 2nd you’ll get the following set of objects called Gnome on the Go for FREE:
- Delight your Lot with Bramblewood’s DeLIGHTful Tree
- Make a Statue Statement with “Onward” The Adventurous Gnome
- Ride Around Town on the Scenic Commuting Bicycle
uhm, I *think* I *might* have seen the bicycle.
I'm not partial to gnomes. But the delightful tree and the statue have eluded me.
I would not want to ask, it makes me look stupid, and buying the game already does that.
It's like as if I bought "Barbie" and "ken" hoping to be an animatronic movie director, but after buying all the accessories, I sort of gave up.
(I didn't, don't say I did)

| Whut? Where?? |
 |
| THERE's the grass-growing, paint-drying fly-@#!er. I've been so blind. Now, About that Tree.... |
I think I needed to have them appear eventually in the gigantic pile of useless virtual crap, like mold growing on a damp rug.
Because they're there, now.
Lemme see, uh, keyword "Gnome", "scenic", "tree" because I'd swear I searched high and low fruitlessly for a "delightful" tree, and now there are two, one looks like a pine tree and the other, a fat tree with decadent lights.

| I don't know what this says. "House"? |
If you travel to a city with no people, and really look around, you'll see a portal you can enter to go to a realm.
It's as if a couple of kids were pretending to be in a harry potter movie.
Nothing to do, no classes, no evil dudes (that part might be my fault.)
OK so I'm focusing in on "Portals."
You could have one, say, at the supermarket or the chicken-restaurant,
and one at your house.
Match the portals by function and number "1 entrance, 1 exit"
Well for a while I've had a portal from the house to the pretend-realm, and it's always worked great, but since no one does anything there, I thought I would change the portals to go to, "sylvan Glade" which is already complicated to go to.
But it didn't work.
Sylvan Glade is either off-limits to portals, or I'm doing it wrong.
It doesn't make me feel any better that someone is announcing that they used one on Twitter.
If it was easy, no one would announce it.

My new clock pleasantly diverts me.
It changes to "bright" at around 7AM
And then there's the whole 24-hour-thing, where you can reminisce about the early twentieth-century at 7PM.
Yeah, my life really sucks, hehe
-------
the rest of this is notes I'll probably erase.
Instead of teaching disney to sleepy kids, you could delve into american history,
but History is rife with conflicting opinions, who won, why wars started, but it's more exciting than your thirty-word memory of "snow white" unless you already bought the videotape-dvd / blu ray / streaming contract, then never mind.
But if you *could*, make history entertaining and for kids, five minute snippets to put them to sleep,
You too could be a pontificating billionaire someday.

| Russia and China |
Once upon a time, a man named "Hannibal" bought some really huge gargantuan elephants, and crossed some mountains riding them with his soldiers.
The noise they made scared the enemy. It's not just that he used elephants to fight a war, it's that he trained them good enough to climb a mountain.
(o, now I suppose I gotta go find a link, 'cause you don't believe me)
Your noise reminded me of them, behemoths trumpeting across the fragile mountains, that could crumble and crush.
