The burette’s too high up. 

Nikki pushes her splash goggles back to her forehead to get a closer look, even though she doesn’t need to. One look at their experiment set-up could tell anyone that--well, except for her lab partner, who was currently scratching his head. 

Move it down on the ring stand, she urges telepathically. It’s too high up.

Instead, she turns to her lab partner. Her chocolate brown eyes are framed by thick, fluffy lashes that are only about fifty-percent fake--she had to look extra cute today to make up for the clunky protective eyewear required for in lab.

“Soo weird,” she says, resting her chin into her palm. It’s the same kind of innocently-awed voice she’s heard girls at Avalanche use that a guy’s dick is sOoO BIG for tips. “Like, what do you think it is?”

Below the surface everyone is pretty complicated. Based on your answers, we think the following three traits are important strands in your personality:

tagged by: @ingukwrites tagging: @mvseology @ekxm @fionarps @lxstcinderella

Self-Knowledge Questionnaire ; BITNA

REVERENCE

One part of you dreams of giving yourself up – perhaps just for a while – to a hero or mentor. In the right circumstances you can flourish by letting go of your ego. In your inner life, reverence plays out as a willing submission to your own conscience. In the outside world, you might get frustrated searching for something worth believing in – a country, a person, a company – but you will always be open to feeling respect, admiration and wonder. 

SHYNESS

Part of you is gripped by the fear that you’ll launch into something and completely mess it up. The upside of this is wise caution: people are indeed often too rash, whereas you know, by instinct, that holding back can save you. Probably, you feel shame and self-disgust a bit too much. But when you do feel in your element, you act with a wisdom and sensitivity never found in people with thicker skins.

RESILIENCE

You have a tendency, after a setback, to turn your emotions towards restriving. What attracts you is the idea of wiping out a humiliation by resumed action – overcoming weakness, repressing your fear. Because part of your motive is pride, you can sometimes be unwilling to admit weakness or to receive aid. But at heart, tour insistence on coming back and never folding has taught you a valuable pessimism: you know that important journeys are never easy. 

Self-Knowledge Questionnaire ; EUNHA

RATIONALITY

You like clarity and intelligent simplicity and you get frustrated at messy thinking. This can make you seem unreasonably pushy to some, but it is actually a virtue: you are motivated by a horror at pointless effort and a longing for precision and insight into how things and people work. Your ability to synthesise and bring order is essential in producing thinking which is truly helpful.

PLAYFULNESS

You are good at seeing what’s funny, at relaxing and finding the pleasure of the moment. Play is random, whimsical, fantasy-driven behaviour which releases internal tension. Because it is detached from some pressures it allows you to act on weirder, perhaps neglected, parts of yourself. The downside is that it is no help in sticking with things that are not much fun but which need to be addressed. So it is well complemented by its opposite, Stoicism.

DEFENSIVENESS

One tendency in you – which is of course normal to the human race – is to bristle when criticised, and to defend yourself when you feel under threat from aggression or blame. Defensiveness can make you conceal your less honourable motives, from others, and from yourself. The habits once made sense: they all derive from past efforts to protect yourself. And most of the time – because we don’t get much help in loving ourselves – you still need them to feel secure.

moocha-muses replied to your photo “MEANWHILE…. Rubati smuggled some chips out of the fridge, prompting me...”

I've read apocalypse plays where simmers got around this by just keeping the fridge turned around until they wanted to use it.

Oh yeah, I’ve heard about that trick too.  The “fridges” in use here are the Sun&Moon Butcher Set Hanging Animals fridges though, and while they physically could turn around, the aesthetic wouldn’t work for me and having to turn it back around to use it would get old, I imagine.  

Far easier to challenge myself with diligently policing their autonomous actions (which are generally few anyway) and, gasp, perhaps make sure they’re all properly fed in the first place.  Now (Y1D4) that everyone’s better at fishing, they’re doing it autonomously at the Fishin’ Hole while other characters are active, which means each family usually has at least one fish in inventory already when I enter a lot.  Maybe later I’ll make it harder for them to use these fish, but I have got BoilingOil’s mod that makes fish worth fewer food points so they still need more than one per day to stay fed - especially once the kiddos start arriving!

snarkysims replied to your post “!!!!!”

Yay! Glad you found the pics!

Me tooooo, I was really, really confused about it!

snarkysims replied to your photoset “Noel:  “Hey, Kimbs, thanks for putting up with me.  You’re the only...”

Awww... he was sweet to her. And yes, that nose is, um, interesting.

He’s got just enough self-awareness to be tolerable.  Like me :)

His nose is built to stand the test of time lolol, I’m sure we’ll see it all over in Gen 20...

niamh-sims replied to your photo “Didn’t I promise you fireworks and stars and good times had by all?”

That last picture is gorgeous!

I think I actually answered this one on the post itself, but thank you again.  I am doing everything in my power to try and keep up the level of gorgeous even as round by round my graphics settings are chipped away :(

Congratulations! How are you playing your rotations? Are you playing with any mods that change the length of the Seasons or ages?

Thanks!  I’m really glad you asked these questions because I love getting into the weeds on gameplay styles!! tldr I’m legit crazy about rotations.

I have pretty much always done rotations of 1-3 days at a time, and it will be flexible within a game depending on when someone is giving birth, aging up, or dying.  I’m fanatical about maintaining “proper” birth order - even though everyone ages at the same time every day, and lot sync timer, and blah blah. So like, right now everyone is playing through 2000 on day 4, then Stachia will give birth, I’ll name her baby, and then switch to Rubati’s birth, then play everyone through midnight (yes, a four hour chunk of probably watching them sleep but who knows, maybe someone makes a late trip to grab some water from the Fishin’ Hole), then I’ll do Nadii’ya’s birth, play everyone through till morning, then do Junia’s birth around 0500-0700, THEN everyone will play until it’s the hour of Kimba’s birth, then Saphir’s birth, then Stachia and Rubati’s babies’ birthdays... and on and on and on.  It’s probably confusing to read about but less confusing to do - and, you won’t notice any difference because the pictures are going to post normally.  

So then why bother?

90% of it is me liking to get interactions with pregnant sims on community lots by making sure the other families get played up until the synchronous hour at which they will give birth.  On the old community time mod, I never ever ever let preggos leave home, which was unfair to them but required for the game to calculate the pregnancy correctly/not bork the hood (as far as I know).  Now, using CH’s update, it... is workable to let them leave the lot, with judicious use of SimBlender’s pregnancy control options.  (I don’t use CH’s pregnancy controller so it still has to be done manually.)  But now I’m so used to micromanaging their time that I can’t help it and barely think twice about it.  

The other 10%, and this speaks more to the shorter rotations that break at 1800, is wanting to make sure kids are kids on the same day on everybody’s lot, teens are teens, etc etc.  If I had a five-day rotation, and Stachia’s kid aged to teen on day 4, then on everyone else’s lot’s days 1-3.99 that Sim would be walking by as a teen instead of as a child, shortchanging them and their peers of precious time for age-appropriate interaction.

No mods to change age lengths or seasons lengths, except that teens should age up to adult when they have anywhere between 11 and 7 days left.  I fudge it sometimes if the partner they’re destined for is way older/younger than they are, which is the only reason why I don’t use the mod that shortens it to 8 days.  I have been considering getting a shorter pregnancy mod, but probably won’t do it.  I like the motive decay of pregnancy to really endanger them :)

In a “real” game, where the point isn’t to churn generations, I have used longer lifespan and other attendant mods.  In my last ToT attempt, I used a longer life mod for pets but not Sims, because I didn’t want to have to say goodbye to any of them, but I doubt I’ll do that this time because it’s just too weird to have them basically live as long as the Sims do.

TAKE THIS TEST for your muse and repost with the results!

Below the surface everyone is pretty complicated. Based on your answers, we think the following three traits are important strands in your personality:

Self-Knowledge Questionnaire ; DASOM

INDEPENDENCE

You don’t set out to be different for its own sake; you are more easily guided by what interests and moves you. You are more concerned about what is right for you than about the pressure to fit in. In sex you are more aware than others of impulses which are not entirely conventional. You know the value of selective irresponsibility, of forgetting occasionally about being ‘good’.

SENSITIVITY

You have delicate, sensitive perceptions; you can be deeply moved by appearances – the right light in a room, or good food, or the texture of a piece of clothing. Expressive, intelligent language has a powerful hold on you; your mind works better when it is inspired and provoked by vivid imagery. It can be sad to live in a world which is often so ugly and not properly looked after. But you know that things can be otherwise, and you have the ability to appreciate the world at its best.

PLAYFULNESS

You are good at seeing what’s funny, at relaxing and finding the pleasure of the moment. Play is random, whimsical, fantasy-driven behaviour which releases internal tension. Because it is detached from some pressures it allows you to act on weirder, perhaps neglected, parts of yourself. The downside is that it is no help in sticking with things that are not much fun but which need to be addressed. So it is well complemented by its opposite, Stoicism.

Self-Knowledge Questionnaire ; HYUNWOO

AUTHORITY

You are good at making decisions; you have a clear sense of what needs to be done and what others should be doing. Played out inside yourself, this tendency drives you to value willpower and self-control. You may be accused of bossiness. But acting on your desire to dissuade, restrain or guide is often appreciated by others – who might secretly like a clear direction, and some firmness.

SHYNESS

Part of you is gripped by the fear that you’ll launch into something and completely mess it up. The upside of this is wise caution: people are indeed often too rash, whereas you know, by instinct, that holding back can save you. Probably, you feel shame and self-disgust a bit too much.

Self-Knowledge Questionnaire ; BOYEON ( @ekxm )

TENDERNESS

You are not afraid of the sufferings and sorrows of other people, even when they are acted out in unappealing ways. Beneath even defensiveness and self-righteous behaviour, you know that deep down people need nurturing and consolation. One danger is being naive about people’s dark sides. But at your best you know you can be mean yourself, which helps you to sympathise. You bring strength and forgiveness where other people might panic.

One part of you dreams of giving yourself up – perhaps just for a while – to a hero or mentor. In the right circumstances you can flourish by letting go of your ego. In your inner life, reverence plays out as a willing submission to your own conscience.
