Elita: Lyra came and sat next to me, coffee and cigarette in hand. She seemed more on edge than me considering this was me getting told off. 

Lyra: So what will happen Jimmy?

Jimmy: Well thankfully, given it's a first offense. And despite all of Ms Caliente’s shoutin’ and wailin’ about needin’ justice, this time, just a warnin’.

Lyra: We will make sure it won’t happen again.

Jimmy: Please do, because honestly, I’m stickin’ my neck out a bit here on this one guys.

Elita: So she just gets to talk to people like shit when she likes?

Jimmy: Elita, you don’t have the right to assault people because they said mean words. If it was self defence that’d be different, but it isn’t. So, just… keep yourself outta trouble, ok?

****

Elita: I remembered about Kira and tossing her away like a trash bag. I wondered if she was putting in a complaint against me as we spoke. I was feeling a bit anxious, and suddenly Jimmy’s phone rang.

Jimmy: Officer Valentine… What really?... Yeah, I’m close by, I can head there straight away… Yeah no problem, Dispatch, I’ll make haste.

Lyra: Something come up?

Dream smirks: Could it be that someone has found what you’re worried about Lyra? Are you concerned that you might have missed something? 

Jimmy: Yeah. I gotta go guys, another case came in.

Elita: Hopefully Dina got a smack in the chin. Can’t blame me for that, I’m right here.

Jimmy: Yeah you are. Right, I’m gonna scoot. Keep outta trouble ok, Elita?

****

Lyra: That didn’t go too bad.

Elita: Ugh, it's a disaster.

Lyra: Not as bad as it could have been. Just be grateful… I wonder what he was going to deal with?

Elita: I dunno, but I wish the ground opened and swallowed me. So embarrassing. 

Lyra: You’re just like your brother, no idea when to shut that sass mouth of yours. 

Elita: I promise to keep my hands to myself henceforth. Lysa will think I’m a right idiot now.

Lyra: Why would Lysa think that?

Elita: Yeah, I’m just shutting my sass mouth on that one.

Dream shakes his head: “Lysa is the least of your worries dear Elita.” 

[sparkiekong]

OPEN SUBMISSION *No due date*

Don't need their whole life story; just enough to know about them😊

Tag me or #BloomingHearts

I lied, most ppl voted this. So, my expectations are high!

[sparkiekong]

Elita: Hey Jimmy. Wow I see why Lysa likes you, there’s something pretty nice about a man in uniform. So, have I been a naughty girl, you’re here to arrest me?

Elita: Yeah I should have took that way more serious and while I know now why I was so brazenly flirting with my sister’s fiance back then, I didn’t really know. But yes, it was Guy’s fault. Professor Poontang and me and our connection. 

Jimmy: I’m afraid this ain’t the time for games Elita. We had a serious allegation come in against you. And given what you can do, I’m inclined to believe it. Frankly you’re lucky it’s me and not Detective Morris, cuz he don’t seem to like you guys much. So I said I’d handle this.

Elita: I hope you brought handcuffs Jimmy. I can take it rough.

Jimmy: Right… um, yeah well, um well, movin’ swiftly on, let's take seat shall we?

****

Elita: Is that a baton in your belt, or are you just pleased to see me.

Jimmy: Right now, that right there… I gotta draw a line on that one ok. Now, I’m here on official business about Ms Caliente, now sit your ass down. Please.

Elita: His tone was firm, and brokered no argument. I didn’t like that! I had been annoyed immensely by several people including Kira. And the people in school who picked on my new friend Eel. 

Elita: And what if I don’t want to? What the fuck you gonna do?

Jimmy: …. Does that make you feel powerful darlin’? You know I can’t do shit to you. If you wanted to, you could kill me right here on the spot I’m sure. But… on the off chance you ain’t a total asshole, we need to talk about this, like civilized people. Can we do that?

****

Elita: Lyra came back and we took a seat, and I felt embarrassed as anything!

Jimmy: So let's get right to it, now, you assaulted Ms Caliente. She’s made a formal statement and she’s pretty damn mad. Said you grabbed her up by the throat with one hand! Now… Most guys in the station think she was exaggeratin’ but, we know you’re quite able to, don’t we?

Elita: Yes.

Jimmy: So you’re gonna explain, without the witty repartee, why you grabbed Ms Caliente by the neck and threatened to knock her “fuckin’ head off”.

Elita: She was saying horrible things about Mom, and I lost it. I grabbed her. I just wanted to scare her.

Jimmy: Well you succeeded on that, you scared her, and she got pretty mad too. But, I get it. The urge to defend your momma and all that, perfectly understand, but now that ain’t showin’ restraint now is it? You can’t go ‘round strong armin’ people who you don’t like. Not just because of keepin’ your secret, but because you could seriously hurt somebody.

Elita: So let's catch up at Robinson HQ. Officer Jimmy Valentine called round and he was dressed in his uniform. You may remember him as Lysa’s fiance? They recently had a daughter; Marilyn? Somebody was in for a dreadful shock at his visit, he was here in an official capacity after all… Jimmy approached and rang the bell.

****

Lyra: Oh, Jimmy… good, um… good morning, is this a social call? Is anything wrong?

Jimmy: I’m afraid this isn’t a social call. We’ve had a complaint, can I come in please Lyra?

Lyra: A complaint? Why… um… What kind of complaint might it be?

Dream watches intently: Oh Lyra, this time it’s not about you and your dark dalliances and cover ups. You must be quite relieved.

Jimmy: Well all things weighed up it ain’t that serious, but, It’d be nicer for us all if we did it inside you see.

Lyra: Ok… So, what is it?

Jimmy: It’s about Elita, sadly the complaint was about her. 

Lyra: Oh I see, right… you um… go in and call her, I’ll be there in a minute… I’ll just… get the mail. 

Jimmy: Thank-you Lyra.

****

Elita: Lyra remained outside a moment, I could hear her taking deep breaths and almost groaning as she went to get the mail. Jimmy meanwhile came into the house and shouted to me.

Jimmy: Elita! It’s Jimmy, I gotta talk to you. Get your butt over here please. This is important.

Mr. Mysterio's Floating Circus - Simblreen 2024 🎪

Welcome to the Carnival!  This year for Simblreen I teamed up with my most beloved @doctorsimcraft again to put together a little set of Sims 1 Makin' Magic inspired Carnival CC. We had a ton of fun making this together and I think a lot of the pieces came out so nice.

🤡: This CC set includes lots of fun new items to get you started building your perfect carnival. Besides the buy mode items, there are also three new cloth roofs, a matching roof trim, and three new wallpapers. 🤡: We've also included our full Magic Realm Carnival Build for downloading and playing with.

In order to keep everything neat, Simcraft and I have decided to keep the downloads in one place, just in case anything needs to be updated in the future. I apologize for any inconvenience. 💗

TERMS OF USE

SIMBLR | TWITCH | TWITTER | BLUESKY

MORE INFO AND DOWNLOAD ON PATREON 🤡🥁

[sparkiekong]

Has anybody else ever done an underwater wedding on Simblr? Cause, I haven't heard of any. Well, even if we're not the first, you can bet your ass @sparkiekong and I are going to do a good one!

Pose pack is well under construction now! No spoilers here, if you've been reading you know that Stella and Triton are engaged to be married!

[sparkiekong]

You have another type of supernatural in your story. A Jekyll and Hyde type, I am sure of it!

But now, I must go and pass out.

Interesting theory Sir Knight! Alas, I will not confirm or deny claims. All will be revealed in time!

Thanks for actively reading and engaging with us.

[sparkiekong]

Calling all singles!! Have you been struggling with finding the one? Has your ex been looking real good lately? We understand. It's ghetto out here.

Look no further! Apply for Romance Reef, where you will be stuck on an island in Sulani with hot singles just like you. @therosebud created this amazing challenge that's like love Island!

Who is needed?

16 Singles. Hotties. Thotties. Goodies. Prudes. Gals. Dudes. And everything in- between.

What is needed?

We're looking for serious applicants between the ages of 21 and 30. Please have a detailed entry with backstory. Don't rush it, you have time.

Where is it?

Sulani, the island of love.

When is it?

We will launch sometime in January, but sims can apply now until we create a deadline.

Why?

To find love, of course! The goal is to always find something long term but maybe a fling is your thing.

How will it be?

The process will be lengthy, there will be excitement at every turn. A rushed process has a crappy outcome, so we want to have quality posts. Posts may be once a day or once every other day. We will start off with 4 guys and 4 girls, then we will incorporate the bombshells as needed. We're breaking it down to 8 girls and 8 guys.

What we need from you:

Give us ALL the information. If you feel like it's TMI, give it to us. We want to know about past relationships, family, turn-ons, turn-offs, likes, dislikes, their type on paper, dreams, goals. All of it!!

Don't give them jobs or skills and only three traits please.

Please give them an aesthetic based on this list provided by @therosebud . We love a good aesthetic.

No occults.

Maxis mix only. Not too realistic skins and no alpha hairs. Hairs that are like wigs/weave are okay. Gshade will make everything else look bad.

Let's be diverse. Blonde hair and blue eyes are okay but bring in the melanin. If you don't know how to create poc, and you want to, use Pinterest as a reference. All races wanted!

You can dress them in every category, everyday or none. If you choose none, I can dress them for you. Keep them naked if that's the case.

As of right now, there is no deadline. 16 sims will be chosen and you will be messaged if you're the lucky one.

If you want to create one guy and one girl, you can do that. Please create separate posts for them, unless they're related. This is only an option. One entry works for us if that's what you choose to do.

If we don't get 16 entries, we will go to the gallery. We'd rather not though.

If you want to give us a pre-existing sim from another dating challenge or who was eliminated, you can do that as well.

Have fun with it! Be free with it and enjoy yourselves!

Please tag me!

In courtesy of @riverofjazzsims and the poll coming to a tie *technically* I'm stuck doing both challenges! And not because I really really wanted to do somethin for christmas...no...not at all. Anyhos! short and sweet and kind of a rush because I wanna do 12 days of Christmas roll out. Due date is FRIDAY the 13th! *ironic* As much as I hate to rush perfections. I'm literally on the clock for this one!

*Special note: I'm excluding presets this go around because I've notice most of us use the same presets/sliders so to keep from duplicating files on my end (going back & forth deleting). I rather not deal w/ them, but I'll slide on one or two (so choose wisely!). Sliders are fine. Otherwise, I'll just alter them if I have to. Sorry love*

One more thing, can you answer what's your sim's favorite Christmas tradition/activity in your description. That should be all! Good luck friends! Tag me or use #AlbaXmas

Alba excited too!

[sparkiekong]

Guy: Isaac!! Dammit… Don’t storm off like a little stroppy bitch.

Isaac: Enjoy your date… PROFESSOR!

Elita: Isaac practically spat the word “professor” at my brother as he walked off. Isaac felt caught in my brother's shadow, and at 6’5” and 400lbs of solid muscle, he cast a very large shadow indeed… Nothing Isaac did is right, but these two had been friends for a long time, and it was all coming apart at the seams rapidly. It was a shame to behold. Guy began to feel that since getting his strength, all it had done was alienate people… Francine rejected, then he saw her accept Arnold’s proposal, sticking the knife in his heart, Evelyn rejected him after literally sticking a knife in him, and now Isaac had rejected him. 

Guy: Isaac, come on man…

[sparkiekong]

Why!?

I go into blender, to make like... 2 poses for a story post...

Also special shouts to @retrosimmuffin and @thesimblrknight for their like spams! @sparkiekong and I see it, and thank you.

[sparkiekong]

Them Isaac Grapes are sour... I guess being beat up by a hottie and then losing her to your friend isn't very DEI eh?

Isaac: I don’t dispute that, and she’s a competent scientist.

Guy: Competent? She’s one of the best we got. She also got better scores than you did Isaac.

Isaac: Only 3%

Guy: Ha, 3%... it was 8% and you know it. Anyway, regardless, the system is fine. Doesn’t need tweaking.

Isaac: Well, sadly Guy we need to encourage more female applicants so this is the way we’re doing it.

Guy: Isaac… you, me, Evelyn, and everybody else here, worked our asses off to get the scores to enroll. We didn’t have a tweak, we met the cut, or we didn’t. I don’t support this change. I won’t be there.

Isaac: Alright, who is she then?

****

Guy: What are you talking about?

Isaac: It’s got to be a woman. 

Guy: It is. She’s great, she really revs my engine buddy. She’s intense, she’s funny, she’s mega sexy, time just flows away at speed when I’m with her, that ass is just exquisite… we’re just doing a casual thing, but, there is more there, I know it! She could be the future Mrs Robinson Issac!

Isaac: Well, that’s exciting, anybody I know?

Guy: Ah, well, she’s from the strip club.

Isaac: She’s a stripper?! 

Guy: No she works the bar, she’s got dark dark hair. 

Isaac: The barmaid, with dark hair?! The one I had the hots for that I told you about?

Guy: You did?

****

Isaac: Yes!! You seriously swooped in and took the girl I had my eye on.

Guy: Well, I… I’m sorry Isaac. I didn’t realise that it was her. 

Isaac: You’re unbelievable. Seriously. Its all so fucking easy for you isn’t it? You get to be a professor, you get the best grade, you get the god bod in record time, you get all the girls, they just fall into your arms. I literally don’t know you anymore Guy. You sound like my friend, heck you even have his face… but you’re nothing like him anymore.

Guy: Isaac, you’re not being reasonable. You sound like a jealous jerk buddy. 

Isaac: I have a right to be! You think I’m a joke, you think my work with the Inclusion Committee is a joke, you ridicule my efforts on everything. You don’t take anything seriously, all you care about is getting out there and getting laid. You know what, don’t come to the Open Night. We don’t need you. Since you’re so fucking awesome, go be awesome somewhere else. I’d tell you to go fuck yourself but you don’t need to… there’s a string of women willing to do it anyway!

[sparkiekong]

Elita: Cat and Francine seem to be doing well, so let's go join my brother and Isaac on their side of things. Guy and Isaac were at work…

Isaac: Hey Guy. 

Guy: Hey Iz, how you feeling buddy?

Isaac: Sore. But, could be worse, at least the gang that beat me silly left my teeth intact.

Elita: It wasn’t a gang, it was DC. And if you recall she did it because he spiked Francine’s drink trying to get DC roofied, and then Francine ended up drinking it, and Isaac bedded Francine while she was off her face.

Guy: I went down to the club to ask about it, Kane didn’t seem to know anything.

Isaac: What?! Why would you go snooping about in my affairs like that? It’s my problem not yours. You had no right!

****

Guy: Isaac, you’re my best friend buddy! Somebody put a whoopin’ on you, cut your face, I wanted to know who it was! But I drew a dead end there, sorry Iz.

Isaac: Ah well, never mind, I’ll heal eventually… no big deal. But we do need to talk about the department open evening.

Guy: Ah… ah shit, I forgot about that. 

Isaac: Well as part of our initiative to get more women enrolling in the sciences we are going to basically tweak the entry requirements a bit so…

Guy: Wait, what do you mean “tweak the requirements?” This is a distinguished degree Isaac, can’t really tweak that, people either make the cut, or they don’t.

Isaac: That’s your elitist right wing, John Wayne talking. C’mon Guy, surely you know it's a massive issue. We are the most male dominated course in the whole institute.

Guy: Why is that an issue?

****

Isaac: Seriously?! You’re seriously asking that question?

Guy: Yes. Art History here is very much female dominated, nobody cares about that. 

Isaac: Well history of art isn’t actually THAT important is it? I mean, let's talk about the history of this painting. Give me a break! Science and the pursuit of understanding of the world, and technology, that’s a real higher calling. 

Guy: Well yeah, I agree up to a point, but, Isaac you can’t just drop the entry requirements for women that’s the height of discriminatory. And it assumes women aren’t capable unless it's made easier for them. But you and your colleagues in the tick box club can’t see this.

Isaac: How many times do I have to tell you, it's not a “tick box” club, it's designed to create fairness.

Guy: Fairness Isaac, is judging ALL applicants to the sciences, the same. Regardless of their being male or female. Evelyn Van Richten is here, she didn’t get in due to tweaking.

Chatting about Dating Deanna - Sibling Edition 1

Devin: So... what do you think?

Deanna: I mean they kind of went a little overboard with the plants don't you think

Devin: Another showbiz lesson De, it's almost impossible to go overboard with filling a space. The more random stuff in there, the more a space feels lived in

Deanna: You are the TV expert I suppose

Devin: Yes I- Joey why are you moping?

Joey: I'm not moping

Deanna: You are totally moping

Joey: This is my I'm fine face

Deanna: You expect me to believe you attract ladies like that

Joey: Well no but some of them do dig the needs to be healed vibe. I guess I'm just worried with it being about Deanna's love life watcher's that aren't part of the LGBTQIA+ community will feel like they can't apply

Deanna: Of course they can

Joey: Well I know that and you know that but do the watchers know that

Devin: Fine, we'll say it officially if it makes you cheer up. While we need contestants that are interested in women you don't need to be queer to submit a sim

Joey: Also our production crew and watcher need to know the contestants orientation and identity for mod purposes but we're not going to air it unless the contestant is comfortable

Deanna: Wait, so do I get to know

Devin: No. Unless they choose to tell you at some point. I mean they're applying because they find women attractive which includes you so really what more do you need to know

Deanna: True. And I suppose it's a way to see who's able to open up to me. Plus we don't want to be the show who outs people who aren't ready

Devin: Exactly

Joey: Not all saves are as safe and welcoming as ours

Devin: Now I did want to talk a bit about Drop and Run contestants because we've had no proper chats about them yet

Joey: Drop and Run is if someone would like to make a sim for the show but doesn't have the time or want to continue with any storytelling contributions

Deanna: Yes! They can still absolutely apply and their contestant will not be treated any differently or penalised

Devin: I'm thinking if we get some we should reach out to some of the other cast and see if anyone would be interested in being a ghost writer for that contestants storytelling choices

Joey: I mean our watcher can totally do it but she battles fatigue so should really learn to delegate when there's an option to

Dating Deanna still has 7 spots left!

Submissions close in 3 weeks. If you are interested check out the links below and consider joining me on my attempt to do an interactive bc with a good portion of dialogue. Any spots not filled by December 25th will have filler sims made so if you do not think you'll get the files sent before Christmas please let me know so I do not accidentally give the spot to a stand in sim.
