OC deep dive with my favorite gal Izzy🫶🏻✨ thank you for the tag @cupidszone !!

What uncommon/common fear do they have? She has a fear of failure, she was the oldest child in the household and had to step up and pave the way, which led to some extreme anxiety especially when she started failing in school. As a child she did develop a fear of being inferior. 

Do they have any pet peeves? Izzy HATES when there’s dirty dishes either on the table or in the sink, IT GOES IN THE DISHWASHER, her husband and son are so bad at putting dirty dishes where they are supposed to go and she constantly has to remind them. She does have a habit that is her son’s biggest pet peeve, she clicks her pen whenever she’s writing and it drives him crazy. 

What are 3 items you can find in their bedroom? A miniature model of her rocket ship, one of her son’s old teddy bears and a lot of sketches of upgrades for the rocket

What do they notice first in a person? Their sense of humor! Whenever she was feeling down while growing up, her cousin would always cheer her up with a couple of jokes or a funny story. 

On a scale of 1 to 10, how high is their pain tolerance? A solid 8/10!

Do they go into fight or flight mode when under pressure? Depends on the situation! She goes into flight mode if she’s arguing with someone in her family since she doesn’t want to come off as disrespectful and if it’s someone outside the family or her little brother, she goes into fight mode. If it’s a difficult task or work she goes into fight mode immediately cuz she enjoys solving difficult situations. 

Do they come from a big family/are they a family person? She comes from a big family! She grew up with her parents, two younger brothers, her aunt and her son and whoever her aunt was seeing at the time. She is a family person but never wanted a big one of her own. 

What animal represents them best? Probably a penguin

What is a smell that they dislike? B.O, her son is so bad at showering and he works out every day too. She hates the smell of shellfish as well. 

Have they broken any bones? The joints in her left shoulder are somewhat unstable so she tends to dislocate her shoulder quite often. 

How would a stranger likely describe them? Introverted and hard to get close to. She’s a loner with trust issues after all. 

Are they a night owl or a morning bird? Night Owl 100%!! Since she spent a lot of years as a single mom, she realized she only ever had the night to herself and that’s a habit she can’t get rid of. 

What is a flavor they hate and a flavor they love? She hates the taste of oranges or any type of citrus really. She loves loves loves sweets though, especially caramel!

Do they have any hobbies? Rocket science and chess, which sounds so boring to a lot of people but she can really spend hours just zoning out with anything mentally challenging. 

Boom, surprise birthday party! How do they react to surprises? She’d be absolutely MORTIFIED to be in the dark about this. And having a bunch of people jumping out and screaming happy birthday sounds like nightmare material. She really doesn’t enjoy being the center of attention either. 

Do they like to wear jewelry? She doesn’t care much for jewelry, other than her wedding ring and earrings, she doesn’t bother with anything else. 

Do they have neat or messy handwriting? Her handwriting isn’t intelligible to anyone other than herself, she’s always in such a rush to write when inspiration for the next rocket upgrade hits or when she needs to calculate math formulas. 

What are two emotions they feel the most? A good mix of anxiety and happiness, they tend to come and go in a circle. 

Do they have a favorite fabric? There’s just something about corduroy that’s so appealing to her. 

What kind of accent do they have? I can’t imagine that she has an accent but she does use a lot of “difficult” words, she tries to tone that down when talking to others but they tend to slip out. 

I don’t know who has done this but consider yourself tagged if you haven’t already!✨

June 24th, 2023 is the five-year anniversary of the Crayons NSB Challenge!

Yes, you heard me right. Five years ago, I posted the opening to my absolute most beloved sims legacy. Five years later, I still can’t stop loving this crazy family, and you guys have been so kind to follow along with them.

In honor of this cool anniversary, I thought I’d throw a little celebration! From now until June 24th, you can vote in a fan poll! Vote for your favorite heir, spouse, spare, couple, and overall character. In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to submit questions for the Crayons - both past and present! They’ll answer any questions they get.

You can also ask me a question about the Crayons, too! I will also be posting behind-the-scenes thoughts and reflections on each generation starting June 24th, as well as the results of the fan poll!

Thank you guys so much for supporting the Crayons. Here’s to five more fun years!

Any timeline for Ada’s return for NSB???

Nonny, it's funny you say this because I currently have 5 posts on my drafts ready to go but I want to stock up on a few more of them before posting. I am hoping for sometime in October, before I disappear into Dragon Age

Longer ramble:

My NSB used to be my simplest gameplay story back when I was writing dialogue and using sims to actually storytell, but now since I've adopted a more gameplay style, my NSB is now my most time consuming story to make. It's the one I love the most so it is the one I put the most effort into now. Hence why it takes me a long time to work on it.

I'm always hoping the poses I want/need will magically appear but then I just end up making them myself lol. The curse of pose making and knowing what you want from a scene.

I've also realized that it is no longer Ada's story and we are fully into Addie's (her daughter). Ada's story resolution will come at the end of Addie's main plot. And I have so many fun teen/high school antics coming for Addie that I realized we're in her era now. If you go back on the last couple of posts, you will see the banner has changed to full reflect that we're with Addie now.

(Some posts have been ever so slightly re-edited to tighten up Addie's story so far)

All this to say that I'm always thinking and planning my NSB, I love them so much. I'm glad you miss them too Nonny.

Hoping to wrap up Addie's childhood years (the posts for that are in my drafts) and start her real plot of teen years soon (not yet filmed - Addie and friends are still children in my game).

She is partially the reason I am making a brand new base save! So I want to finish more of that project before starting to really deep dive into her teen years. It's always one project and then another.

So stick with me, they are all coming back soon I promise! And thank you for being interested ❤️
