15 Day BL Challenge - Day 4
Day 4: Fave Ship Dynamic
Since I can't choose one favorite dynamic, I'll allow myself to write a few:
EQUALITY in a relationship will always be my top priority, which I understand as a situation where no one is exploited, or led like a child in the relationship, or dominated, even if one of them is naturally dominant. To make it more complicated, I actually like relationships in which one is clearly more dominant, for example stronger physically, or in the hierarchy, is richer, has power, BUT NOT OVER THEIR LOVED ONE, is actually even dependent on him. The point is that both have the same power over each other, are equally dependent on each other, both support each other to the best of their abilities, no one gives more or less. It is ideal when the seamingly "weaker" one has even a slight advantage in the relationship, to make it more fair. A good example of this relationship is Hannibal or Nagron 😋 There are many BL series with equal characters, most of them will appear below (but I'll start with a gif of these guys, equal in everything, and that widening of Zhou Zi Shu's eyes at the sight of Wen Ke Xing is one of the best things in BLs I've ever seen 💖)
most often, equality in a relationship goes hand in hand with my second favorite dynamic: when both are mature. I LOVE it when a couple is made up of adults, mature people who know who they are, know that they are interested in each other and the only obstacles in their relationship are external. From BL series, these are: Laws of Attraction, Manner of Death, Jun & Jun (excellent examples 10/10) as well as The Untamed, Word of Honor, KinnPorsche, 4 Minutes, Our Dating Sim, To Sir, With Love. This equality and maturity can just as well appear in series with young characters as in The On1y One
my other favorite dynamic also goes hand in hand with equality: when both are smart, they are professionals in what they do, like in The Sign, Laws of Attraction, The On1y One, Be Loved In House: I Do, Jun & Jun (see the gif above) and of course The Untamed and Word of Honor (I can't help but mention Beyond Evil, The Devil Judge, Killer and Healer, not BLs we all know better 😎)
when both are good at communication, I love it when characters TALK to each other, even when they argue, as long as they COMMUNICATE
the best and the rarest: when they trust each other and believe in each other, that the other person will handle the truth, the problems, that they will help, that TOGETHER THEY WILL DEAL with whatever life throws at them, when they talk about what's going on in their lives including the bad stuff, no noble sacrifice and keeping the loved one in the dark "for their own good". It's very possible that in all the BLs I've watched there was a couple who was honest with each other from the beginning until the end, but I can't remember one now... (Beyond Evil, Love in Translation started doing it by the end)
but I also like it when someone in the couple is unhinged, crazy, like Sahashi in Cosmetic Playlover, or a himbo like Sprite in Twins, or a golden retriever type but a real one like in Sing My Crush, especially when the other one is a bit grumpy and gloomy, like in those series, I love it!
I also like calm, stoic, solid types, at the same time totally whipped for their loved ones 🥰 such as the characters played by Noh in Nitiman and Oh! My Sunshine Night. Special mention should be made of someone similar to this type, but also noble and old-fashioned in a charming way, like San from Century of Love, and the guys from To Sir, With Love

Today's (10/15/2024) Episode: Grinding to Victory
Fortunately, the start of school year was easy on Skye, as despite his parent’s high expectations neither of them could spare him much attention.
Noemi was kept busy pushing her team to finalize Watcher Tales in time for the New Years release, and Luigi was even busier.
Not only did he have his “day job” as an e-sports celebrity to worry about, but he was also working harder than anyone else to get his game to market.
Had Noemi known how much time her husband was spending on the computer in pursuit of his current professional goals she would have surely intervened, so he took great pains to make certain she didn't find out.
He encouraged his shy bride to manage their team (many of whom did not work out of headquarters) remotely by voice chat and email while he commuted to Rainy Days' corporate offices each day. Without her looking over his shoulder he could easily gloss over how many breaks he was taking.
Although Luigi knew resting his hand was important, getting his game to market on schedule was his top priority and everything moved along much more quickly with his uninterrupted, active involvement in the build. If a little more discomfort than usual was the price for that, it was a price he was willing to pay.
With the Del Sol E-Sports championship game right around the corner Luigi was pushing himself just as hard gaming as he was programming, hopping a teleport most evenings straight from downtown to the E-Sports complex in Newcrest for skirmish practice and games.
He was more skilled than most of his teammates by now in the finer points of Sim Scuffle strategy but felt woefully rusty when it came to putting that knowledge to practical use on the playing field after being forced to take so much time off following the lightning strike incident.
Placing at the upcoming tournament would finally earn him the title of Championship Gamer and catapult him to the top of the E-Sports career, and Luigi wanted that final promotion desperately. If he went down in history as a bonafide champion, it would quash the recent nasty rumors that he no longer had what it took to "hack it" at a professional level. He had to prove the naysayers wrong, no matter the cost.
The night of the tournament Luigi settled down at his PC and tried to ignore the burning ache that was his constant companion as of late "I just have to get through tonight" he told himself "Watcher Tales is in the final testing phase, at last, and if I place here, I'll earn my promotion. I can do this!"
A few hours later the announcer finally called out “… and that's it, folks! It’s my pleasure to announce your new E-Sports Championship Gamers… Beau Romano, Frank Harris, and Luigi Lawbourne!" He'd achieved the pinnacle of his professional career that night, but the smile on Luigi's face was closer to a grimace as he gripped his swollen mousing hand tightly under the table, clenching his teeth against the pain.
"Well, your highness, we did it!" Beau said, coming up behind his friend and slapping him on the back as they made their way to the podium to collect their award. "Of course, I still kicked your butt, but what's new?"
His jovial expression fell away when he saw the look on Luigi's face "Whoa, what's wrong? Is it your hand again?“ At Luigi’s reluctant nod, his concern deepened. "Did you tell doc so he can give you the once over?"
"No time.” Luigi shrugged “I’ll catch up with him tomorrow if I miss him tonight. It's not like he'll have anything new to tell me."
Rather than replying Beau darted away, much to the confusion of the sims waiting to hand the players their trophies.
Reappearing a minute later he whispered "They couldn't start the ceremony without the evenings #1 gamer, am I right? Doc is waiting for you over by the med station."
Luigi nodded, silently mouthing "thank you“ to his friend before queuing up behind him to collect his 3rd place prize.

TS4: "That's Not My Neighbor" Challenge
You've recently moved into a new neighborhood to kickstart your new life of young adulthood and poor decisions. You've only been in your place for a few hours before there's a knock at your door; it's the welcome wagon! How nice! They stay over for a few hours before taking their leave, gushing over how excited they are to have such a good neighbor; however, shortly after they leave, there's another knock at the door. It's your neighbor again. Back so soon? Not to mention, they're acting so strange. You remembered how nice they were, and now, they're being down right rude.. and did Bella Goth always have such piercing blue eyes? You then remember the myths -- doppelgängers is what they called them. You take a step back. You're starting to think that the person at your door is not your neighbor.
Sound interesting? Wanna give this challenge a try? Dope! Let's get into the specifics!
Just a heads up, I'm very privileged to say that I have so many game add-ons and mods that I can't tell nor remember all that is base game or not. Don't feel bad if you can't follow the guidelines exactly. The point is to play your game in a different way and have fun :) Don't stress the specifics. Anyways~
• Make doppelgangers of the neighbors in your world (however many is up to you; I did 15) and your sim and replace them with the sims that "are not currently in the world". This will help ensure that they are in game with as little work as possible. Be sure that you move everyone to the "other households" tab by un-hearting them • Your sim must start of with a bad, awful, or atrocious reputation. Did you really think people were just going to believe you about a Bob Pancakes copy cat? You sound crazy; prove them wrong. Speaking of crazy... • Your sim must have either the paranoid OR the erratic trait. You'd go crazy, too, if you didn't know if you were talking the real person or a copy of them. Not to mention, you probably have a doppelgänger out there, too (spoiler alert: you do). • Your sim must have the nosey OR klepto trait. How are you going to collect evidence otherwise? Even still... • Your sim must have either the socially awkward trait OR gloomy trait. There's not really an eloquent way to say "There are copies of people out there" without people either being put off or giving you a snide "Yeah, they're called twins". It's really depressing when people aren't willing to give you a chance and listen.
• Figure out who your real neighbors are and purge the fakes • Restore your good name • Prove to others that these creatures exist and that you aren't being delusional or hallucinating
• Discover and purge all of the doppelgängers -- Be sure to keep track of how many you've created, because you've gotta find them and win a fight with them in order for them to be "reported" to the DDD • Obtain a paranormal investigation license -- Not just anyone can go monster hunting; you could get yourself killed! It'd be best to approach it with some knowledge. Let people know that you're qualified for this type of stuff! • Restore your reputation to "great" -- Not the highest level of reputation, but still good enough that people are actually willing to be around you for more than 5 minutes when you start rabbling about copies of people walking among you all • Successfully complete a hard level paranormal case -- Prove to the people that you are a pro! No hand-holding here! When you're on the case, there's no chance of failure • Max out the charisma skill -- Smooth talkers can make people believe anything. Not to mention, it makes you more pleasant to listen to • Max out the Vampire Lore skill -- You're not some one trick pony; you can do it all! Of course you know how to handle something as simple as vampires. What monster hunter doesn't? • Turn an occult sim human -- Having super human abilities is cool and all, but some people see it as a curse. Cure an occult sim ... or make them human so they'll never hurt anyone again.
• No cheats for aspiration points! You've gotta work your butt off for that paranormal license! • No money cheats! You can use cheats to move into your home; however, after that, you've gotta work for your money • You must fight (or off) the doppelgänger successfully for it to "get reported" to the DDD within 3 attempts. • If you find a sim and their doppelgänger in the same general area (ex. same room, same building, same festival/event, etc.), you must immediately go home and you cannot go to that world for the rest of the day. You cannot go there even if you're invited there. They can be in the same place, but they cannot be too close -- keep your distance • If you run into your own doppelgänger, it must be on sight every time -- you've gotta fight them; you cannot off them. You're too evenly matched to off them, but you've still gotta assert your dominance. If you lose a fight to them 3 times, it's game over
• If you lose a fight to your doppelgänger 3 times OR if your doppelgänger offs you • If you cannot complete all your objectives within two sim years (14 days a week, per season = 112 days; you can lengthen or shorten this [trust me, depending on how many dopples you have, one year isn't going to be enough, and the regular degular 7 day week is a bit hard because every day has to be productive; I had 15 when I tested this out]) • If you get attacked by a vampire • If you get into a fight with a werewolf and lose • If you lose a fight to any doppelgänger (excluding your own) 3 times • If your sim dies (obvi)
(So you wont screw up the same way I did unless you want to play extreme mode or something)
• Use your gallery as a "reference board" -- it takes a little extra work, but it'll help you remember what your real people look like and their "most prominent" features [or at least what you changed] (ex. Has braces, has a mole on the left side of their chin, light eyes, etc.). Take notes in the description box. • Raise your fitness skill -- this is crucial to tip the fight in your favor; don't let your excitement get in the way! You don't have to be the strongest, just stronger. Make sure you can take the doppelgänger you're trying to "report". Remember: you don't have to get rid of them as soon as you meet them; just don't leave the job unfinished! • Take advantage of your sims wants, aspiration goals, and holiday traditions -- It may be a little tedious/annoying in regular gameplay but for this challenge? It makes farming those aspiration points so much easier! You can get a TON of aspiration points for holidays! • Join a club -- Just because most people are put off by you, it doesn't mean EVERYONE is put off by you. Work on your charisma and reputation naturally. Remember: it's not always what you know but who you know. If they'll associate with you, maybe others will be willing to give you a chance, too. Not to mention, there's perks to being a popular clubs • Attend festivals and events -- Sims from everywhere attend these things, maybe the doppelgängers will show, too. Be careful though! It might be too much to see a sim and their doppelgänger in the same place. You'd have to go home to recover. • Save your game file -- It's a challenge for a reason. It's definitely possible to complete this challenge on the first go, but in the event that you aren't so lucky, and it takes you a couple of tries, save your "setup", and then make a separate save when you actually start the challenge. This will save you so much time when starting over; you won't have to go through the hassle of replacing households with your doppelgängers again.
That's it! Sound simple enough? Give it a try for yourself!
Best of luck to you, and fingers crossed that your sim doesn't get taken out by a stove fire

Jambon-beurre
Bonjour, tombler!
Still on our brunch series with Nanami, today we’re cooking the classic French and butter sandwich, also known as jambon-beurre. The dish we’re cooking today is actually divided into two cc recipes by @oni28: baguette cc recipe can be downloaded here, and jambon-beurre cc recipe can be downloaded here. The recipes need Oni’s Recipe Pack Mod which is updated regularly on their Patreon page.
The baguette made by this creator can be eaten as a meal or used as an ingredient for jambon-beurre. Even though The Sims 4™ logic makes ingredients appear automatically when you make a recipe, today Nanami decided to bake her baguette from scratch.
I love taking pan shots from Nanami’s kitchen. Some elements including the top counters are from @tudtuds’s BSCO Kitchen set which I think match very well with the base game counters (I think it’s base game? Definitely need to check again).
Everyone in the family seemed to be challenging the inner trad wife by making their bread from scratch, Nanami included. To begin, prepare all-purpose flour, water, yeast and salt. Mix the ingredients and let it sit for about 10 minutes, followed by 3 stretches and folds over a period of 90 minutes (honestly I’m already lost here, goodbye). After each iteration, pick up the dough ball and turn it upside down. Let the dough ferment in the fridge for another 8-10 hours.
One important thing in making your own baguette is the baking stone. A heavy duty baking stone won’t crack easily and will promote a better oven spring for the baguette. Preheat the oven to 500F or 260C with the baking stone positioned in the upper rack and a small pan with hot water and a rolled kitchen towel on the lower rack. The towel helps control steam release.
After scoring your baguette, slide them off with the parchment paper onto the hot baking stone. Using a water spray bottle, spray some in the sides of the oven to boost the steam. Bake for about 15 minutes, remove the water pan, and bake for another 15 minutes at 450F (232C) until deep golden brown.
If I were as successful as Nanami in baking baguette, I’d make that smug face too. Alas, 100% of what I wrote above is just a rewrite from the recipes I googled 🤦♀️
Now, onto the jambon-beurre. Jambon-beurre or parisien is the simplest combo of baguette topped by slightly salted French butter and spiced Parisian ham (also known as jambon de Paris). Yet, finding a great jambon-beurre is harder and harder to find. Pictured above, Nanami sliced each baguette in half length-wise.
Next, the butter and the ham. A good European butter makes the best choice, as it has a much higher fat content and less water compared to American butter. If you’re unable to find European butter, pick a salted butter or sprinkle a few salt crystal over the unsalted butter. For the ham, using jambon de Paris or any unsmoked, wet-cured ham with juicy texture. The last part – arguably also the easiest, is to combine everything together!
We’ve seen one of Nanami’s twins in the previous post, but here’s both of them eating jambon-beurre together: Sean in a blue overall and Kieran in a light purple shirt. Sean loves to be carried but Kieran hates it, and they look so alike that Nanami sometimes mistakenly carried Kieran only for him to throw tantrum. The joy of the terrible threes, doubled.
Last picture featuring full serving of baguette, full serving of jambon-beurre, and a single serving of jambon-beurre. ‘Til next post, dag dag!
P.S. Bonjour means “hello” in French. P.S.S. Detailed information about baguette is taken from this article, while detailed information about jambon-beurre is taken from this article and this article.

Briella Pantry Baking - #10 Grapefruit Cookies
Sul Sul, Gerbits! Today is a challenge to myself. I, Briella Flores-Ponder, still have a few fruits that I do not like. Berto went to the store and got a Grapefruit. I, along with the kids, kind of grimaced at this.
So, I asked everyone if they wanted me to make some grapefruit cookies. Because I want to be able to eat them. And let me tell you something these cookies are very VERY acidic. They are good, however, make sure that you use the Ruby Red Grapefruits and not the pink grapefruit.
If you are adventurous and want to try these cookies out, feel free to follow this recipe along with me.
The ingredients that you will need:
flour
baking soda
salt
sugar
grapefruits
butter
eggs
For the measurements, the recipe will be in the description below.
You are going to preheat your oven to 375 and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper or spray with non-stick spray.
Whisk together the dry ingredients, which include your flour, baking soda, and salt. Set the bowl aside.
Zest your grapefruits, and add it to your mixer bowl with the sugar. Using a mixer, a spoon, or your fingers work the zest into the sugar for a couple of minutes. The reason you want to do this is it releases the oils and it flavors the sugar.
Remove ½ cup of the grapefruit sugar and place it onto a small shallow dish. You will use this to coat the sugar cookie balls before baking.
Next, you are going to add the butter to the sugar and then cream it for 3-4 minutes until light and fluffy.
Juice ½ of the grapefruit. Put the juice into a small saucepan over high heat and reduce to 1 Tbsp of liquid. Remove from heat and swirl for a minute or two to bring closer to room temperature. Don’t be like me and overlook this step. This is probably why the cookies were so acidic.
Add the grapefruit reduction to the butter mixture and then mix.
Scrape the bowl and add the two eggs until it is well combined.
Add the dry ingredients and mix for 30-60 seconds on medium speed.
You are going to scoop the dough into balls and drop into the reserved grapefruit sugar, rolling and tapping off any excess sugar.
Place the cookies on the cookie sheet, and refrigerate the dough balls for 15 minutes.
The recipe says to bake for 10 minutes, however, as you all know I like baking my cookies at 8 minutes because you can always add minutes to your cookies, you can never subtract.
You are going to leave the cookie on the pan to cool for about 5 minutes.
Um… Gerbits, when you are looking at a recipe for the first time. Remember to always read the recipe. DON’T IGNORE ANY OF THE STEPS!. I feel like I should have looked at this recipe a lot closer. The results of these cookies were that some people liked them, and others didn’t.
So my advice is just to read the recipes. I hope you guys like this recipe. Make sure to like and subscribe for more recipes. Hopefully, the recipes in the future will be more of a success. But, you all have to understand that even if you have one fail or a recipe that you feel kinda failed, you are still learning. Even I, who is a level 10 baker, have recipes that aren’t always loved. So don’t be hard on yourself. You’re only a sim, after all, you can and will make mistakes. See you all next time, Vadish, Dag Dag!

For those who don’t know I am currently doing an FE challenge in The Sims 4 here are some highlights:

RJ's Platinum Collection #26: Moving Out
Achieved on 5/16/2023 at 7:10 PM
I used to be a fan of a gaming channel called Funhaus. I thought they were hilarious. And one day I remembered a video they had made in which they played this game "Moving Out", which was a super quirky but fun cooperative sim. So I looked the game up and, to my surprise, was on PS Plus! So I decided to check it out, and ended up enjoying the game enough to get the Platinum.
Like you'd guess by the title, Moving Out sees you become the newest employee at a moving company and getting the job title of a F.A.R.T. (it's funnier if you try to guess what the hell that could mean). You can have up to 4 players all work together to move furniture out of a house as quickly as possible, no matter how much stuff you have to smash in the process. And it is SO FUN. Now, as I was playing by myself, I had zero shame in turning on Assist Mode, which makes the game a lot easier.
I decided to just play through the game and have fun, while also getting the Gold Medal on every single level. Unexpectedly, this game actually does have some kind of plot, and it's about alien rats trying to steal all the furniture the company is moving. There is a BOSS FIGHT. In a COOPERATIVE SIM GAME. It's awesome. And by the time I completed all the levels, I had earned 14 trophies.
1/27: Totally Certified - Complete Mandatory Training.
2/27: Golden Mover - Get a Gold Medal in one level.
3/27: An Eye For The Details - Complete all bonus objectives in one level.
4/27: The Bird - Shoot a basketball hoop.
5/27: Minute Mover - Beat a level in under a minute.
6/27: Moving On Up - Complete 10 story levels with Gold Medals.
7/27: You Don't Got Mail! - Smash the hidden letterbox with the truck.
8/27: The Friendly Ghosts - Complete all haunted levels without slapping any ghosts.
9/27: PHD In Moving - Complete 20 story levels with Gold Medals.
10/27: Massive Window Attack - Smash 100 windows.
11/27: Choo Choo - Complete "The Chase".
12/27: Who's The Boss? - Defeat the Rat King.
13/27: Masters In Moving - Complete all levels with Gold Medals.
14/27: Certified F.A.R.T. - Complete all Story levels.
Now it was time to start clean-up. First, I went through each level that had toilets or mailboxes and either sat on the toilets or slapped the mailboxes until I unlocked the associated trophy for each task.
15/27: Where We're Going We Don't Need Thrones - Sit on every toilet in the game.
16/27: Rain, Hail, or Shine - Slap every mailbox in the Story levels.
Then I started alternating between playing the Memory Levels, which are kind of like flashback tapes to moving jobs in the past that all have unique challenges, and I also got distracted by the DLC levels that take place on a tropical island. Between the Memory Levels and the DLC, I ended up getting trophies for throwing and delivering items, but I also accidentally got the trophy for achieving 100% - or, 111% - of the game. Turns out the DLC levels count towards that. Oops!
17/27: Go Long! - Throw 500 items.
18/27: Quantity Over Quality - Deliver 1337 items.
19/27: Remember The Time... - Complete all memory levels.
20/27: 111% Effort - Achieve 111% in the game.
After I finished the DLC, I went back to the main game to finish off the trophies. First, I played all the Arcade levels, which is where you need to parkour across some surprisingly complicated platforming levels while holding onto packages. Once I beat all of them, I got the trophy.
21/27: Winners Don't Move Rugs - Complete all Arcade levels.
Next up I quickly got the trophy for beating a level with less than 5 seconds on the clock. I just played the first level, and waited to put the final object into the truck until the clock was under 5 seconds. Easy peasy.
22/27: Nick Of Time - Beat a level in Story Mode with under 5 seconds left on the clock.
Next up came the part of the game that took the longest, which was completing all bonus objectives in every level. This was a big challenge, as some of the bonus objectives on some levels were mutually exclusive to each other - and also fucking hard. Some levels took me dozens of tries to accomplish. But eventually I was able to complete the task and get the trophy.
23/27: Objectives Complete! - Complete all level objectives in every level.
Next up I went to the level that was basically Frogger and just kept running into the street and getting hit by cars until I had gotten the trophy for getting run over by 125 of them.
24/27: Look Left, Then Right - Get run over by 125 cars.
Next up were two trophies that got on my nerves because I was certain I should have gotten them already. First there was a trophy for delivering every animal that appeared in the game. I was pretty damn sure I had moved all the animals, but for some reason I didn't get the trophy. I think something was wrong with how I delivered the frog in the aforementioned Frogger level. I just had to suck it up and replay all levels that had animals in them again - doing that popped the trophy.
25/27: Animal Lover - Deliver every pet.
The same issue was for the trophy where you had to find the hidden game console in each level and put it in the truck. I DEFINITELY found all of the consoles the first time I played, but for some reason the trophy didn't pop. I actually replayed all the levels again, once again making sure to get the consoles - and it STILL didn't unlock. I was super frustrated at this point and I ended up having to take a week off from the game. But eventually I decided to try what I did with Naruto 2, which was deleting my save data and replaying the game. That, luckily, worked, and I finally got the trophy and then the Platinum.
26/27: That's Not Landfill! - Deliver the hidden console in each Story level.
27/27: Master Mover - Unlock all of the trophies.
Despite the issues I had with some of these trophies, I thought this game was super fun! If you are playing by yourself, I definitely recommend turning Assist Mode on, because otherwise the heavy items are almost impossible for a single player to move.
Rating: 10/10

Dawgs Punch Ticket to State
AAA STATE SECTIONAL (elimination)
Bearden 1 at Dobyns-Bennett 0
Saturday, May 18, 2024 12 Noon
KINGSPORT--Aidan Ainsworth scored just before halftime, and Bearden held undefeated Dobyns-Bennett scoreless, to secure a spirited and bruising 1-0 road win at Indian Highland Park, sending the Bulldogs to their sixth consecutive State Tournament appearance in Murfreesboro.
After an intense first half with both sides challenging each and every play, Bearden finally connected when Lucas Ford found Jack Raulstondown the right side on a quick throw-in, who slipped it to Ainsworth in close for a score with 3:26 left in the period. The blonde-headed sophomore now has four clutch goals in the last five playoff games.
Shepard McMurray was rock-solid at middle back, Nic Prins and Noah Price were disrupters on both sides of the midstripe, and Dillon Sims continuously and fiercely pushed the ball deep into Bearden’s offensive zone. Sophomore Ahmed Dkhiri had a crucial clearing save in front of the goal during the last frenetic minutes of the game. Logan Nelson again met the challenge in goal with fearless smothers, punches, and interceptions, getting the shutout with six tough saves and several bruises.
Bearden now plays Walker Valley (14-9-0) out of Cleveland, TN on Tuesday. The Mustangs beat Rockvale 2-1 (2OT) Saturday to qualify for State, and had earlier playoff wins over East Hamilton 2-1 and Cleveland 2-2 (2OT). They lost to Howard Tech 0-1 (OT) in the Region Final. No matter the records, when you get to Murfreesboro, the pressure and intensity ramps up considerably, so tighten those seat belts! Go Dawgs! Win State! Woof!
Goals: AIDAN AINSWORTH (37’ assist-Jack Raulston, Lucas Ford).
Shots/Shots-on-goal: BHS 22/9 DB 12/6.Corners: BHS 5 D-B 2. Fouls: BHS 13 D-B 11. Offsides: BHS 3 D-B 0. Yellow Cards: BHS 1 D-B 1. Conditions: grass pitch, wet, clearing skies, 77 degrees. Attendance: 458. Records: BHS 18-3-1 D-B 15-1-2.
Outside the box.........on the Men’s side, Coach Ryan Radcliffe has now reached the State Tournament 7 of the last 8 years, compiling an 11-4 record with two Championships (and counting), and in case you didn’t know, Coach Rad won a State Championship ring himself back in 2006 as an All-State midfielder for the Bulldogs.........the referee stopped play early in the second half and called the D-B Athletic Director over to settle down the home crowd.........other State quarterfinals are Hendersonville/Rossview, Science Hill/Howard, and Ravenwood/Houston.........conspicuously absent from the field are Brentwood, who was eliminated by Hendersonville 6-5 in overtime and earlier in the season had been touting their consecutive undefeated streak, and heavily-favored Hardin Valley, who was sent packing by Science Hill at home 4-2.........Woof!

*plays sims medieval for 15 minutes* = *immediately misses my history challenge*
I haven't been playing lately, mostly because I've been busy w school but I've also been struggling w preparing the builds for the next era (middle ages)
I'm so in love w my Roman neighborhoods that I'm worried I won't be able to recreate that feeling in the middle ages
I got on w hopes of playing my history challenge tonight but then realized how lil time I have before the next era and how much work I have to do before then so time to keep trying to build
I know that I could just download a bunch of builds but I really like the cohesion of the Roman era since I built them all myself and I really want to replicate that for the next era
thanks for sticking around!! I know I've been really sporadic w posting but that's just the life of a full-time college student unfortunately

The Promise of Unlimited Data: Is It Too Good to be True?
In an era dominated by connectivity and data-hungry applications, the appetite for unlimited data-only plans along with EU roaming data usage for frequent or seasoned travellers might get benefits to connect with the digital world as is hard to resist.
The idea of limitless data usage promises freedom from data caps and overage charges.
But do these plans come at an exorbitant cost?
Do unlimited data plans typically include unlimited minutes, unlimited SMS, MMS, and unlimited high-speed data with a 5G network, up to a VoIP ceiling facilities?
What are the Best unlimited data plans in 2024 offered by Zoiko Mobile? And are they truly unlimited?
In this article, we will delve into the world of unlimited data and explore the benefits of choosing Zoiko Mobile's unlimited data-only SIM plans.
The Global Internet Landscape:
Before we explore the nitty-gritty of unlimited data plans, let's first understand the key statistics of the Internet world. Up to January 2024, there were a staggering 5.35 billion internet users globally, which accounted for 66.2% of the world's population.
Out of these staggering Internet users, 5.04 billion individuals were active on social media platforms, representing 62.3% of the global population. These numbers highlight the increasing reliance on the Internet and the growing demand for data. (Source: Statista)
The Soaring Rise of Smartphone Data Usage: A Glimpse into the Future!
With the advent of data-hungry applications and the proliferation of high-speed mobile networks, smartphone data usage has skyrocketed in recent years. Did you know that in 2022, the average amount of global data consumed per smartphone on a monthly basis was a staggering 15 gigabytes (GB)? That's a whole lot of streaming, browsing, and downloading!
According to Statista, global smartphone data traffic is expected to double in six years, with the average data consumption per smartphone rising from 31 GB per month in 2023 to approximately 75 GB per month in 2029.
However, industry forecasts paint a picture of even more staggering growth, with projections suggesting that data usage per smartphone will nearly quadruple, reaching 46 GB per month globally by 2028. In this article, we delve into the factors contributing to this exponential increase and explore the implications it may have on individuals and the telecommunications industry.
The Changing Landscape of Data Usage:
The surge in smartphone data consumption can be attributed to several factors.
First and foremost, the widespread availability and adoption of 5G networks enable faster and more reliable connections, encouraging users to consume more data-intensive content.
Additionally, the growing popularity of video streaming platforms, social media applications, and cloud-based services have significantly contributed to the surge in data usage.
The global pandemic further accelerated this trend, as remote work, online education, and virtual entertainment became the norm, necessitating an increased reliance on mobile data.
The Projected Growth of Smartphone Data Usage:
Industry forecasts indicate that the average data used per smartphone per month will experience rapid growth in the coming years. Based on current trends, the projection for 2028 suggests an almost four-fold increase to 46 GB per month globally, indicating the increasing appetite for data-driven experiences.
This staggering growth can be attributed to the constant evolution of technology, the expanding repertoire of data-consuming applications, and the growing demand for high-quality multimedia content.
Implications for Consumers and the Telecommunications Industry:
The surge in smartphone data usage has both opportunities and challenges for consumers and the telecommunications industry alike. For consumers, higher data consumption means enhanced access to information, entertainment, and productivity tools.
However, it also necessitates the need for affordable and reliable data plans to meet these growing demands. The telecommunications industry, on the other hand, faces the challenge of up-scaling infrastructure to support increased data traffic without compromising network quality. Providers must invest in building robust networks and optimising data management systems to ensure seamless experiences for their customers.
Rapid Internet Adoption: Surpassing Expectations By Exploring Opportunities!
The global Internet landscape is experiencing unprecedented growth, as revealed by our analysis of data from reputable organisations such as the ITU, GSMA Intelligence, and Eurostat.
Contrary to our initial estimations, the number of new internet users over the past 12 months has reached a staggering 97 million, indicating a year-on-year increase of 1.8%. However, as we delve deeper into the data, it becomes evident that the actual growth rate and number of new internet users likely surpassed our previous projections. This article explores the surprising growth of internet adoption, its implications, and the potential opportunities it unlocks for individuals and industries worldwide.
1..Surpassing Expectations - Undeniable Fact of Connectivity:
In our Digital 2023 Global Overview Report, we reported an annual internet user growth rate of 1.9%, with 98 million new users coming online in 2022. However, new data that has emerged since the report's publication suggests that our figures underestimated the true scale of internet adoption. Recent data indicates that the number of internet users likely increase by more than 150 million in 2022, marking a growth rate closer to 3%.
This unexpected surge in internet adoption signifies the transformative power of connectivity, as millions of individuals gain access to an array of information, entertainment, and communication platforms.
2..Implications of Rapid Internet Adoption:
The rapid growth of internet adoption has far-reaching implications for individuals, societies, and industries worldwide. Access to the Internet enables improved communication, enhanced access to education and healthcare services, and increased economic opportunities.
As more individuals come online, the digital divide gradually narrows, allowing for greater inclusivity and empowerment. Additionally, industries across various sectors stand to benefit from the expanded consumer base and the potential for digital innovation.
3..Exploring 5G Networking Opportunities - Envisioning a Connected Future:
The unexpected surge in internet adoption presents numerous opportunities for individuals and industries. With more people accessing the internet, businesses can tap into new markets and reach global audiences, fostering economic growth and creating employment opportunities.
Furthermore, the increased connectivity fosters an environment ripe for digital innovation, paving the way for advancements in areas such as e-commerce, remote work, and telemedicine. The transformative potential of Internet adoption extends to education, where online learning platforms can bridge educational gaps and provide access to quality education worldwide.
4..Addressing Challenges, Embracing the Potential:
While the rapid growth of 5G network adoption brings forth promising possibilities, it also poses challenges that need to be addressed. Closing the remaining digital divide and ensuring universal access to reliable and affordable 5G network connections remain crucial priorities.
Governments, organisations, and service providers must work together to expand 5G network infrastructure, particularly in rural and underserved areas, and prioritise digital literacy initiatives to enable individuals to fully utilise the opportunities the Internet offers.
The Temptation of Unlimited Data:
With the ever-increasing demand for data, our data-only plans or SIM-only plans feature unlimited data, calling minutes, SMS, and MMS, including EU roaming data and calling minutes have gained immense popularity.
These SIM-only plans promise uninterrupted access to high-speed internet with free 5G coverage without the worry of exceeding data limits or calling minutes or SMS limits.
This is particularly enticing for individuals who heavily rely on data-intensive applications, calling peer groups or sending texts to friends, colleagues, or families. Such as uninterrupted streaming, watching favourite TV shows, OTT channels and online gaming.
However, the question remains can unlimited data plans truly deliver on their promise?
Well, to adapt to the data-driven future, both consumers and telecom providers must take proactive measures.
While unlimited data plans sound enticing, they often come with caveats. Many providers may impose certain restrictions, such as fair usage policies or des-prioritisation during times of network congestion. Fair usage policies restrict excessive usage that may impact overall network quality, and dis-prioritisation allocates network resources to other users during peak hours.
These measures help ensure a stable and fair experience for all users, but they also mean that unlimited data plans may not necessarily be truly unlimited in all circumstances.
Among the best telecommunications companies in the UK, Zoiko Mobile continues to uplift its network infrastructure, deploy free 5G coverage, and implement innovative unlimited data management strategies, to optimise supper 5G network infrastructure, to meet the burgeoning data demands.
Exploring Zoiko Mobile's Unlimited Data Plan:
Among the myriad providers offering unlimited data plans, Zoiko Mobile stands out as a reliable option. As the best SIM-only deals UK for mobile networks, Zoiko Mobile provides up to a 100GB data-only SIM that offers substantial benefits. With Zoiko Mobile, users can experience high-speed data without any speed restrictions or fair usage policies. The plan is ideal for individuals seeking a truly unlimited data experience.
Considerations Before Choosing an Unlimited Data Plan:
Before jumping on the unlimited data bandwagon, it's essential to consider a few factors. Firstly, evaluate your actual data needs. While if you choose unlimited data plans, that offer freedom from limits, we have GuestWave, CareCall Pro, Zoiko Elite, Launchpad Leader, Shop 'n Talk, Educonnect+, and Fam-Tastic Family plan, but all of they may not only be cost-effective, and fully optimised for free unlinted UK calling, UK tests, UK MMS, including free international calls over 70 countries.
Alongside this, we also covered generous data allowance for EU roaming data, EU unlimited calling, and EU unlimited tests.
Additionally, this credit credit-credit-boosting SIM-only plans and Pay-as-you-go SIM deals, 5G coverage, and all regional availability you can harness the power of limitless data and explore the limitless opportunities it has offered in your mobile-centric world.
Unlimited data plans have, without a doubt, revolutionised the way we consume data. The promise of limitless connectivity is undoubtedly appealing, but it's crucial to comprehend the realities that come with these plans. Zoiko Mobile's unlimited SIM-only deals offer a reliable and truly unlimited experience, making them a top choice for data-conscious individuals.
Before embracing unlimited data, assess our best network in the UK to fill your data needs and consider the specific EU roaming data coverage could be your added gem in the crown set by Zoiko Mobile.

Hi everyone!
It's day three of the Ice Cream Legacy challenge, and boy, do I have some crazy things to say!
Firstly, I completed level 3 of the Serial Romantic aspiration and am almost done with the 4th!
Also, I forgot to show you guys what Vanille looks like as an infant, so here she is taking a nap on her pregnant momma:
She's going to age up into a toddler very soon; it'll more than likely be in the next post, same day as I change Raz's appearance again.
After completing the 3rd level of her aspiration, Raz had Johnny Zest's baby and named her Alma (A play on for the next generation's theme: Vanilla and Almond)
As soon as Raz got home from having Alma, she had 15 minutes to get ready for work, and when she did go, she got promoted to Culture Columnist!
I can just imagine the bizarre conversation between her and her boss when she got there:
Boss: I heard about the new addition to the family, congrats, Raz!
Raz: Thank you! Alma is such a beautiful girl, and I can't wait for Vanille to meet her when she comes home from daycare!
Boss: Well you could have taken maternity leave to see that happen sooner, I know you just gave birth recently.
Raz: Oh yeah, I literally had 15 minutes after I got home from the hospital before I had to be to work.
Boss: Wait, you gave birth this morning? Before work?
Raz: Yeah, but it's all good, I'm ready to do my best!
After these crazy and stressful moments, I took a break and made over the last family in Willow Creek: the Spencer-Kim-Lewis household
This marks the first of Raz's many (harder) goals as completed!
Gen 1 Rules:
Complete the "Serial Romantic" aspiration.
Complete the "Style Influencer" career.
All your kids must be from different relationships (complete).
Give all people in your town a makeover (complete).
Get caught cheating at least once.
Leave someone at the altar at least once.
Change your hairstyle once a week (complete).
