requested on youtube, someone was interested in the house I used in my new mods testing video (22 Bayside Lane). I threw in a bonus house that was nearby and had no one living in it so it was easy to package up as well (24 Bayside Lane). Both are unfurnished and under 20k. Pics and download under the cut!

here is the floorplan for 22 Bayside Lane and the clean installer screen showing the build cc that is included. The only thing I'm a little confused about is I'm not 100% sure I got the roof correct. I included what I THINK is the right roof recolor in the zip folder, but the description of the roof on the house is "metal roofing in evening blue by icad at mts." But as far as i can tell no such roof exists at mts, and the only metal roof by icad that I have that is blue is called "icad metalroofs bluegrey"..so i am not 100 if that is the right roof but i tried my best, someone lemme know if they know the right one. edit: also just realized there's no door to the master bedroom, just remembered there was a section in my mods video where I was confused why they wouldn't go to bed..there's no door im sorry, don't forget to add one lol

24 Bayside Lane is the bonus house, uses all the same CC and has a little like half wall open kitchen vibe thing. edit: omg i hate packaging lots so much. the half wall didn't package bc of course it didn't lol but this is the link to mts to download them. editedit: omg im sorry i didnt' realize the fence was a default replacement omg its by shasta download it here!! Why two bathrooms apparently in such a tiny house? I have no idea idk why i do the things i do the floorplan of this house is weird lol. roof recolor included in the folder.

both lots have been cleaned with chris hatch's lot compressor. I use criquette's lush terrain defaults so if you don't use those the terrain paint is gonna look poo probably, but you can hold ctrl while using the terrain paint tool to erase any you don't like.

Hellboy (2019)

If only it was one thing making 2019's Hellboy bad but it’s multiple things too numerous to ignore. You can see the movie it could’ve been just out of arm’s reach so maybe some people, under the right circumstances might be able to enjoy it... as a rental... maybe.

In WWII, Demon Hellboy (David Harbour) was rescued from evil forces and raised by Professor Bruttenholm (Ian McShane) to fight on the side of mankind. When the B.P.R.D. (Bureau of Paranormal Research and Defense) learns of an attempt to resurrect Nimue, the Blood Queen (Milly Jovovich), Hellboy learns of a prophecy foretelling the end of the world.

I want to be fair. David Harbour is great in the titular role. The makeup and prosthetics to turn him into the red-skinned hero are excellent. I even like his performance as the sarcastic, frequently exasperated monster hunter. There are many creatures for him to fight and they’re all awesome. A scene in which we see a group of demons - the non-humanoid kind - is pure nightmare material. They’re so much more terrifying than any other hellspawn I’ve seen in any other movie.

Hellboy pace is reminiscent of 80’s slasher films, in a bad way. Every fifteen minutes, something gets torn to shreds in an orgy of blood and gore. At every turn, Hellboy reminds you that it’s R-Rated with foul language and gruesome deaths, many of which should’ve been cut out to either truncate the running time or give the plot room to breathe. Whenever Nimue invites Hellboy to rule alongside her, you never believe he’d be tempted. How could he be? Every fairy, witch, giant, dragon, goblin, etc. wants nothing more than to steal children so they can peel off their skin and suck the eyeballs out of their skulls. These are monsters fit for extermination.

The stomach-churning piles of limbs and half-digested corpses blend poorly with the film’s comedic attempts, resulting in awkward-sounding dialogue. You can see what it’s trying to do. There’s cool mythology on paper but the translation of Mike Mignola's work is muddled up by trying too much. This is most apparent in the special effects. Director Neil Marshall wants what films with four times his budget is doing and it isn’t convincing. Some of the monsters move around weightlessly. When Hellboy gets tossed in the air the effect isn’t convincing and the absolute worst example comes in the shape of two ghosts whose designs so don’t work they’re embarrassing.

Despite everything, I enjoyed enough of the film to feel like I didn't waste my money. Even so, I can’t call it good. Bad special effects, dialogue, soundtrack, story, and an inconsistent tone, combined with an end-credit teaser assuring us more is to come force me to call 2019's Hellboy awful. (Theatrical version on the big screen, April 15, 2019)

Black Butte, Mt Shasta area (2022). Kinda impressive in its own right, Black Butte gets overshadowed by its big sister, Mt Shasta, lurking out of the frame off to the left… (don't be fooled by the perspective here: Black Butte is many miles off on the horizon, not just at the end of the country lane here :-)).

[sillysimping]

Imagine: You didn’t understand how it came to this, it was all so fuzzy and you couldn’t hear much. What happened? How long had you been here? You struggle to think of the details and fight the miasma of sleep that cradles your mind. You were so tired. You fight the haze and are gifted with a memory of the court room, the council and your friends screaming in outrage:

You’re being dragged away by Piltovers finest. Most of your body is in chains and your head is heavy, concealed completely by a metal helmet that has made you blind to the world around you. You’re more scared than you’ve ever been and without your sight everything seems so much more loud and disorienting.

Before you are removed completely from the council’s chambers you hear someone. One voice normally so soft and kind but this time it quakes with outrage and determination. You’ve never heard him like this in all your years of friendship. Never.

“We’re going to get you out of there. I promise! We’ll find a way!” You picture his face. Jaden. The blonde runt was the smartest person you knew, a master tactician and a prodigy. His passion for education in the law was unrivaled. He was the bane of Piltovers existence, dancing around their laws and always seeming to find loopholes where there seemed to be none to get you out of trouble when you were kids. You weren’t so sure it would be enough this time.

A yowl follows after him, the last hopeful words you’ll hear for a long time. “We’ll make them pay! I swear it!”

A small pathetic chuckle chokes passed the sobs that reverberates within the confines of your helmet. Shasta. Fierce in her loyalty and reflexes like a whip with features that were sharper than any blade. Many a kid in the Lanes had a crush on her, unsurprising with her beautiful glossy black hair and dark and intense eyes. God, you would miss her ride or die attitude. You hoped she’d buck up and tell Jaden how she felt by the time you get out of Prison (Which you doubted. Still Water would be your gravesite. But you held on to your last shred of hope.) Soon after you finished that thought something that felt awfully like a nightstick crashed into your helmet knocking you unconscious.

OR:

Reader gets framed for a string of murders that she didn’t commit while visiting her friends in the Undercity. Considered to be too much of a danger to society by the nature of the murders she is placed in solitary confinement in Still Water for the rest of her days. They deprive her of her sight and hearing in a chamber that is made specifically for special cases of the highest degree. 2 years later at the age of 22 the reader is released on the grounds of being proven innocent due to the diligence and perseverance of Jaden and Shasta. Their dear friend did not return the same.

The reader kept the creeping madness at bay by settling into long periods of meditation. With the help of the deprivation chamber she was able to do so with startling ease. In doing so the reader taps into something that is beyond her physical embodiment. The arcane.

Londoste - 4x3 - Restaurant

Hello everyone,

This is originally a maxis lot with the same name “Londoste”. So the credit goes to them. I edited the exterior, lot size and added hot tubs, dart boards etc. Fixed a few things that were bothering me with the layout and here it is. I’m using this one in my Verona City (Veronaville downtown) and in case if anyone is interested this is the download of it.

Download here

You don’t have to download everything in the list, they are packaged with the lot file. However I strongly recommend using  Sims 2 Pack Clean Installer to install this lot and for all your other lot and sim installs in Sims 2.

There are only 2 chairs in the cc list this time!

chapter twenty-two: black sun morning

p.s., did anyone catch alex on make weird music earlier? i was writing and i also had pressing matters to tend to as well so i missed him.

The town ahead of them was the town of Merrill, which had a turn-off right smack in the heart of it all, which in turn took them up to Klamath Falls, or the big city of the area as they overheard from the attendant at the next gas station on the outskirts of town. Alex was still taken aback by the sight of the attendant there outside of his window once they returned to the road ahead of them.

“So, we’re definitely gonna stay the night here,” Sam told him as they followed the little two-lane highway past a series of farmland and some low tree-covered hills. “Stay the night and then we’ll head on up to Crater Lake in the morning.”

“Sounds like a plan,” he declared.

The road took them into the hills off to the north; another corner around the bend and they were met with a cluster of little houses and a small lake. Probably man-made, given it didn’t seem to go anywhere. The trees that poked up from the hillsides were a dark green with the heart of springtime: they had found their way to the eastern side of the mountains, but Sam knew that they were near it all, especially off to the north where the snow still shroud over those slumbering volcanoes. She almost expected to see dragons at the summit of the quiet white point due north of there.

“Quite the town here,” Alex remarked as they reached the lowbrow outskirts.

“Yeah, I’ll say,” she added.

“Where are we staying at?”

“Well, let’s see, the guy at the gas station—the guy who scared the hell out of you—told me that they’ve got rooms on the northern end of town.”

“Still cannot believe that happened,” Alex said with a shake of his head and a shrug of his shoulders.

The road soon widened out into four lanes and they wound through the southern edge of town. They snaked past the man-made lake as well as a series of little, tightly woven neighborhoods and a tree-covered ridge. At one point, she spotted a pale blue water tower through the trees on her side. They wound all the way around to the other side of the valley to the more desolate and rocky hillsides, through all the green lights and then past a line of trees until they reached the first red light. Sam peered out her window to the road on her left, and the way it rose up above a railroad and then dipped down into the northern end of town. Mount Shasta stood off in the distance, a lonely point with a lower twin next to it.

“Quite the little town here,” Alex repeated with a little nod of his head.

“The big city of the area, too,” Sam pointed out. The light turned green and they rolled forward. “Let’s see, the guy said the hotel is... up by this next stoplight. He told me to hang a right and then go up the hill a bit. It's right near the school.”

“There’s a school up here,” Alex stated. “Like a college school, or—?”

“Yeah.”

“Sweet!”

She merged to the right lane right before the light and then she caught it green once more.

“Good job, good job,” he remarked, and then she headed up the block to the crest of the hill. Indeed, there stood a nice hotel at the very top.

She took the first spot right near the driveway: a bit of a walk but after such a hefty drive and three full days of traveling for her, she knew that they both could use it. Alex slung his travel bag over his shoulder and he walked close to her as they made their way to the front lobby. She looked back at him and the pensive look on his face; she then realized that he still kept his eye on Mount Shasta off in the distance.

Their room overlooked the valley below as well as Mount Shasta, especially when the sun loomed low over the horizon and bathed the whole side of the mountain in bright pink light. Even though Sam hoped that they would have one bed in there, she was slightly disappointed to find two queens in there before the vast bay window on the other side.

All the memories of the tour down in New Zealand flooded back to her, except this time around she had come along with Alex, and the two of them were alone. He set down his bag on the floor at the foot of the bed closest to them and then he peeled back the top cover and he flopped down onto his back.

“Ohhhh, it feels good to lay down,” he groaned, and he raised his arms up over his head.

“It feels good for you to lay down!” she scoffed, and he burst out laughing. She set down her things and she turned to him with a twinkle in her eye. Given he lay right there on the edge closest to her, she could see up his shirt a little bit.

“What time is it?” he asked her, and she took a peek at the clock on the nightstand between their beds.

“A quarter to four,” she told him; she returned to the bedspread before her and stripped it off of the top. “I am so glad we picked staying in a hotel rather than make our way up to Crater Lake now. I asked the guy at the gas station and he told me it’s another hour from here.”

“It’s a lot of driving, too,” Alex pointed out, “and it’s a lot of stress on my car to boot.”

“Why, are you hungry?”

“When am I never hungry?” he joked to her, and she giggled at him. He tucked his hands underneath the back of his head.

“Never thought life out in the wilderness would be so eventful,” Alex remarked.

“Out in the wilderness,” she echoed him.

“It’s a phrase in the music world,” he explained. “When someone quits a band or gets fired and has to find his way, he’s got to find his way through the wilderness in order to find the next clearing up from there.”

“I see! The wilderness has plenty of food to go about, too.”

“True! Hence why I said it’s so eventful.” He then propped himself up onto his elbows. “D’you see a bakery when we were at the stoplight at all?”

“I didn’t, no,” she confessed, and then she turned to him and the little twinkle in those deep blue eyes.

“Oh, during these few days we’re up here, I’m gonna fill that little belly with all kinds of good food,” she teased him with a little shake of her head. “All the ginger snaps and all the cookies you can dream of, Alex.”

“I eat too many cookies and I turn into Jabba the Hutt, you know,” he cracked back with a wag of his finger. She reached towards him for a little pat of his stomach and he lunged back towards the wall. She giggled at him and then she reached for the phone on the nightstand. She sat down on the side of the bed and dialed Ruben’s phone number.

It would be another hour before they had dinner at a little Thai place in the heart of town and a series of driving about the blocks in search of something that piqued their fancy. Given the sheer amount of money which she had at her disposal, Sam wanted to spoil him silly there in that proverbial big city. But then again, she had to keep it all together lest something happen to them while up at Crater Lake. Extra ginger on his second helping of noodles and she could keep his beautiful stomach extra happy for the rest of the evening. A part of her wished she wouldn’t do that to him, but then again, she watched him grow more and more comfortable with her at her side.

Spoil him silly, after all this time of toiling in obscurity with Testament and all the things that those five men had to experience up to that point. Spoil him silly, especially given the fact he was still that proverbial little Jew boy with a couple of professors for teachers and having grown up sheltered in the San Francisco Bay Area. Spoil him silly, for his being such a good boy to her all this time.

Near the restaurant stood a cozy little art shop twenty minutes from closing up for the night. She didn’t have her journal with her at the moment, but she knew that a new pad of paper would serve her justice for the gallery back home.

At that point, night had fallen over their heads and she wanted to drive a sleepy Alex back to their room for the night. She had vowed to carry him into the hotel room, but he insisted on walking in even with his pants unbuttoned. No sooner had she unlocked their door and set down her purse when he collapsed onto his bed and fell right to sleep. She set up her drawing pad on the desk for safe keeping and without another word, she headed into the bathroom to change her clothes, and then she returned back out to her bed on the other side of the room. She crawled under the covers and switched off the light: the sole light came from the orange lights outside.

All the while, Sam flashed back on upstate New York and all of the lush greenery over there as well as the cozy feeling to all of the houses and apartments back there. She hoped that Joey was doing alright back there while she closed her eyes and went right to sleep herself.

She dreamed that she stood somewhere on the ledge on one slope of Mount Shasta and right above her loomed a diamond shape with mirrored faces on either side. She caught a glimpse of something that resembled to ginger root and she took a look down to what stood before her. A stray massive ginger root with a series of pearly white tips: through the branches, he stepped out so as to greet her.

The mysterious man. This time without a face and in its place a dark shadow the size of a watermelon: he wore a long black cloak which billowed back under the face of the mirrored diamond overhead.

“It’s been a while,” she told him in a flash and an echo.

“Indeed, it has,” he replied to her in a voice that reminded her of John.

“Where have you been?” she demanded. “Why aren’t you getting me off of here?”

“My hands are tied,” he told her; his voice bled out like bleeding watercolors.

“What do you mean?”

The shadow crossed over his face, such that a little plume of white spread over his head and Sam thought about Alex.

“Alex?” she called out to him. Instead, he ducked back into the shadow and he took the shape of Eric for a momentary glimpse, followed by John again, and then he bowed back into the shadows, a phantom and mere figment of her imagination. She stood there on the snow-covered ledge and she took a glimpse up to the diamond with its mirrored faces. Sam hoped that the volcano behind her wouldn’t erupt as she reached out to it.

“Why would you love me like this—” That sounded like Alex.

She opened her eyes and she gazed up at the shadowy ceiling: pale orange morning light filtered in through the rich velvet curtains to her right. Alex himself groaned in his throat and rolled over onto his back on the bed next to her. He let out a low whistle and he ran his fingers through his jet-black hair.

“You awake?” she asked him.

“I swear, it feels like I've just fallen asleep,” he confessed. “I barely slept last night.”

“All that ginger getting to you?”

“Nah. It was more just—the unfamiliar bed and the feeling that I'm without a band.”

“Aw.” Sam sat upright in her bed and she looked on at him as he lay there without a shirt on and his pants still unbuttoned. He was so full the night before that he had neglected to take off his pants. And yet he looked refreshed: his skin was still smooth and his eyes had a bit of an extra glimmer to them, even when in the shadow. She took a glance over at the clock on the nightstand and she saw that they had ninety minutes before the lobby downstairs closed for the morning.

“What say we grab some breakfast downstairs and then boogie up to the lake?”

“Yes, please! You know I want a cup of coffee.”

“Speaking of being out in the wilderness,” Sam remarked as they wound their way through the dense forest. A narrow two-lane road from thirty miles north of town, right in the middle of nowhere had taken them up the side of the mountain. Even though it was springtime, patches of snow still blanketed parts of the forest floor on either side of them and Alex shivered through his thin sweater.

“Next time we come up here, we’re taking our windbreakers,” he told her.

“Definitely.” She rubbed her hands together and then she turned the dial on his heater. They rounded the next corner up and they were met with a view of the valley down below. All of the little volcanic buttes off in the distance and the dots of forest to go about the cold barren earth.

“I’m getting all the stranded at Tahoe memories now,” he remarked as he peered out the window at the panoramic view before them.

“Except this time around, we’ve got a clear blue sky,” she told him. Another bend in the road and they reached the top of the rim, the rim of Crater Lake.

The water resembled to glass given not a lick of breeze could be found anywhere. The rugged slopes tapered down to the surface and then vanished underneath so not a single sliver of coastline could be found anywhere. It was right then Sam missed Joey. She knew that he would have loved it up there, especially as the road took them to the nearest vista point. A fleeting thought nonetheless, but the thought returned to her as the two of them pulled over for a view themselves.

Alex peered over the tops of his mirrored sunglasses at the water down below. Wizard Island loomed across the waters like a sleeping dragon: the people back at the hotel told Sam that the volcano still had eruptions now and again, all of which took place either on the island or underwater. The morning sun caressed over the slope of Mount Scott to their right.

“Wish Marla was with us,” she confessed as she took off her sunglasses and wiped off the lenses with the hem of her shirt. “She’d be all over this place with her camera.”

“Makes me wish I was in photography a bit,” he told her. “You know, I told her that she should take her camera with her at all times. I ought to, too.”

“You should! Especially if you’re going places outside of Testament, too.”

They climbed out of the car in unison and stood before the railing for a grand view of the lake. The lack of a breeze allowed them to peer straight down to the water’s surface. As smooth as glass still, and as clear and blue as Alex’s eyes. Indeed, Sam peered back up at Alex himself right as he folded his arms over the railing and stared out to the waters.

“Such a weird place,” he noted. “Weird but I love it, though.”

“I do, too,” she added. “It’s a different kind of quiet place, too.” She thought about the quiet place back upstate that she and Charlie had set up for themselves.

“It’s a quiet place that’s a little bit noisy to boot,” he said. “Noisy underground, that is.” He stooped down and picked up a piece of black rock. The morning sun added a bit of a sheen to the top surface: even with Alex’s hand underneath it, she could see that it had a bit of a green hue to it.

“Volcanic glass,” she declared.

“My gift to you,” he told her.

“We don’t want to upset Pelee, though,” she pointed out. “The volcano goddess. We take something from her realm and the place will erupt in the future. She took Emile out; she could take out any one of us next.”

“I’m sure she won’t mind this, though,” he assured her with a wink. His eyes were as blue as they had ever been and she had no idea if it came from the clean air up there or the bluest of waters down below, but they were rather hypnotic at that point. She showed him a coy smile and she took the stone for herself.

“Thank you—and we should treat her to a gift of some sort, too,” she pointed out.

“I’ll take it,” he said with a nod. They took another drive to the other side of the rim, that time for a glimpse at the pathway down to the waters below, and also a raft out to Wizard Island. Alex wanted to go for it himself but Sam had another idea.

The Willamette Valley on the other side of the mountains, especially since it was still plenty early in the day.

All the little tastes of dark green up to that point served as mere appetizers to what awaited them down below. Everything was in fact either a rich shade of green or in bloom with something bright and colorful from the utter cascade of rain over the winter. Alex rolled down his window and relished in the clear sunshine all around them as well as the blackberry bushes that sprouted up along the sides of the road.

“Part of me wants to stop and pick all these berries and eat ‘em all,” he joked at one point. But the berries were no match for the rest of the valley before them, especially the town of Eugene. Sam recalled the conversation she had had with a couple in the lobby while they gathered breakfast for themselves, the best donut shop there was that side of the Cascades.

All she remembered was it was called Smell the Magic and she wanted Alex to have one of their signature spicy red chocolate donuts.

“Spicy indeed! Yowza!” He fanned himself with the napkin and she giggled at the soft blush that crossed his handsome face.

She thought about buying a whole box to bring back to the Bay Area but she decided not to. Maybe later on when the boys can all come together in peace again. Another round of lunch and then they returned to their humble hotel room right before dinner time. No sooner had he taken his spot on the edge of his bed when the phone rang.

He picked it up himself right when he was caught in the middle of sitting down next to her.

“Hello? Oh, hi, Greg. How'd you get this number?” Sam took her seat on the edge of the bed next to him. A part of her wanted to put her hand on his knee out of comfort and to feel him, but she resisted the urge. She needn’t bring the whole trip to that level.

“I see and happy birthday, by the way,” Alex said.

“Yeah, happy birthday, Greggy!” Sam called towards the phone, and he showed her a smile at that.

“Yeah, that was her.” He turned to her. “Your dad told him we were here.” She nodded and then he held the phone closer to his face.

“No, we’ve been in the dark for a couple of days—Samantha and I have been on a little road trip,” Alex continued with a furrowing of his eyebrows. “What? Really?”

He turned his head to Sam and locked eyes with her. He then raised his eyebrows and his mouth fell agape. “Oh, my god.”

Sam moved her head in closer to him so she could better hear Greg for herself. She couldn’t hear him past Alex’s head.

“Oh—okay, yeah. I’ll tell her. Alright. Talk to you soon, man.” He hung up right then.

“What happened? Is everything okay?”

“There’s a riot going down in L.A. right now,” Alex said with a bit of concern, “they don’t know if they’re able to calm things down. He said this thing’s huge, too. Bunch of looting and fires and traffic backed up for literal miles.”

“Oh my god!” Sam declared, and she brought a hand to her mouth.

“Yeah, I just think—you know, your mom is down that way and I wonder what’s going on in Catalina, too. Twenty-two miles across the water but—you know.”

“Seriously!”

He shifted his weight there on the edge of the bed and then he handed her the phone again.

“You better give her a call,” he told her in a hushed voice.

They traded spots on the bed and she dialed Esmé’s number with a bit of a quiver to her fingers. Her eyes started to burn, but not from the sheer amount of driving. Alex huddled closer to her as she held the phone close to the side of her face. Sam closed her eyes as the phone rang once. Twice. Three times.

On the fourth time, a pit formed in her stomach. Alex nibbled on his bottom lip; she thought about the time that they had dinner at her house on Catalina Island, and Esmé was all over him, especially once he had filled himself full of all she had to serve the two of them.

“Hello?” Sam never felt more relieved to hear her mother’s voice.

“Mom?” Alex let out a low relieved whistle.

“Sam?”

“Mommy—” She choked up and Alex fell onto his back there on the bed next to her.

“Sam, what’s the matter, baby?”

“Alex and I are on a road trip and we just heard that there’s a riot down there in L.A.,” she said with a break in her voice.

“Oh, gracious god, yes! I’m seeing a big plume of smoke from Long Beach—I can see it from the living room window. It’s just terrifying—I was just told not to leave the island for a few days or at least until things smooth over out there. You're with Alex, you said?”

“Yeah, he’s right here right next to me.” She glanced over her shoulder at the sight of him lying there flat on his back and with his arms up over his head. A part of her wanted to pat his stomach, especially since his shirt lifted up from his waist and showed off a small sliver of that smooth skin. His black hair fanned out from all around his head.

“We both just got word of it,” Sam told her. “We got a call from Greg—he got the hotel number and then called us to tell us about it.”

“It’s going to be a while before things cool down—what with all the tension is still in the air right now,” Esmé replied with a low whistle.

“What caused it?” Sam asked her.

“Four policemen beat the ever-loving hell out a black man named Rodney King and they were acquitted,” she said in a single breath. “That’s according to the news.”

“Oh, wow.”

“I guess another black woman was killed, too,” Esmé told her, “and a lot of people just couldn’t take it anymore. Our city’s still segregated years after segregation ended.” She cleared her throat. “I should probably tell you that we have a fair number of black relatives in our bloodline.”

“Oh, yeah?”

“My grandmother—your great grandmother, whom you never met—she was a black woman. Her parents hailed from Nigeria, believe it or not.”

“Wow. Why didn’t you tell me this before?”

“Never heard single a question about it,” she confessed. “You did express some curiosity but it’s the same reason why I never really told you about my relationship with your father until only recently. But yeah, I'm a quarter Nigerian. And your father has some blood in him as well. Our close ancestors hailed from Africa, Sam.”

“Wow! That explains why I've always felt so odd in comparison to other kids at my art school.” Alex lifted his head at that and he frowned at that. She raised a finger at him.

“Never expected a black woman to be walking amongst them,” Esmé chuckled at that.

“Well, and it’s because I figured, our last name Shelley, it’s a last name out from Northern England.”

“That’s something that I've been steadily trying to figure out for myself,” she pointed out. “I only know so much myself besides what your grandmother’s told me when growing up and knowing she had coarse black hair that matted easily. Unless there’s a test of some sort to tell us about where we come from, there’s only the select few written records we have at our disposal. Just one of life’s many mysteries and the riot at the moment has only made me wary of telling anyone of our story. Someday, we’ll be brave enough.” She sniffled and then cleared her throat, and Sam could tell that her mother was in tears. “Anyways, where are you kids right now? How's Alex handling tour life?”

“You know he got fired from Testament, right?” she told her. “It’s a long story, but—yeah. He's out of it.”

“No!” Esmé gasped. “Oh my god, how is he?”

“He’s doing better than he thought. Hanging out with me and trying to find his way out here in the wilderness as it’s known. He's got his guitar on his back and he’s got a friend in me, too.”

“I was just going to say, he’s got a friend who can care for him. He's got his parents, too.” She then cleared her throat and she paused. “Oh, wait. I have another call coming in. Call later when you get home?”

“Yeah, of course! Love you, Mom.”

“Love you, too, Sam. Give Alex a little hug for me if you know what I mean.”

“Mom!” Sam chuckled at that. “Okay, good night—”

And they hung up at the same time. She lay down next to him and she gazed up at the ceiling overhead. Alex sighed through his nose and he glanced over at her.

“What exactly caused it?” he asked her.

“Four cops beat a black man and they were cut loose,” she replied.

“Holy shit!”

“Yeah, my mom said they just beat the shit out of him. That's just—I have no words for that.”

Alex rested his hands across his chest and lay there with his eyes fixed on the ceiling overhead himself.

“Apparently, my maternal great grandmother was a black woman,” she said.

“Really?” He rolled his head over and raised his eyebrows at that.

“Yeah, and—come to think of it, my grandma had really coarse dark hair, too. Coarse dark hair despite her pale skin. I haven’t talked about it much because it just—never came up in conversation before. I think I have another great grandparent who had some of that blood in them, too, on my dad’s side.”

“I would think, with a last name like Shelley, it’s bound to have some kind of story behind it.”

“It’s an English name, I know that much. But since it’s my grandmothers, it just makes me wonder what else my family has kept hidden from me all these years...” Her voice trailed off after that.

“What’re you thinking about?” he asked her.

“Let’s see... I didn’t bring my journal with me,” she recalled, “but I did get that pad of paper at the art store here in town.”

Silence fell over them. Silence except for the pipes in the walls all around them.

“I need to draw black skin now,” Sam declared, and she sat upright on the edge of the bed, and Alex rolled over onto his side: his laying there accentuated his hips and his thighs a bit.

“Please do,” he advised her. “The world needs you to draw black skin.” She walked on over to the table for her drawing pad. She needed some tools as well. “Greg said it’s just down there in L.A.,” Alex continued.

“I say we stay up here for a couple more days, though,” she told him. “You know, just in case.”

“Oh, definitely.”

📚🍎✏️Sims University for The Sims 2 is here!📚🍎✏️

Are your Sims ready for the time of their lives? Heading off to university opens up new opportunities, from social connections to career growth. From class activities to major-specific objects, your Sim will find new ways to learn! And university isn’t just about hitting the books. Join a protest, flirt at a bonfire party—there’s a lot to learn outside of lectures at the student union. With new locations like the bowling alley and SimBurger to explore, and new activities like juice pong and spray painting murals to enjoy, your Sims are sure to have the time of their lives!

I finally finished my recreation of Sims University from the Sims 3 University Life. I wanted a new University to add to my Sunset Valley. It was made with all EPs and SPs and checked with Hoodchecker. You’ll find more details, needed downloads, pictures, and the University below the cut. 

Due to the high cost of most of the homes as residential lots, I made the residential lots into dorms with just a few rooms. The administrative buildings as well as two of the Rabbit Holes are just Hood Deco by Delonariel. There are no Sims so either your game will generate dormies or you will need to make your own dormies (Find out how HERE). Some dorm rooms will have two doors to allow for dorm-mates. A dormie may claim the other door and your room will appear to be empty, however you can still enter and use it properly.

First of all, here are some mods I highly recommend for the best experience:

You will definitely need a camera mod to see all of the lots. I personally have GunMod’s Camera Mod.

Most lots will have inaccessible shrubs/flowers so I also recommend having Perfect Plants.

Most lots have off-grid rugs, having zz_HL_RugFixesBin_ALL prevents them from looking too weird.

Community Skilling is great so your Sims can build skills using all of the wonderful Community Lots.

TOP 5 HAUNTED ROADS THAT A TRUCKER SHOULD AVOID

Haunted roads and highways are roads, streets, and highways that are the subject of legends in cities and folklore. These roads are famous for horrifying stories related to phantom hitchhikers, vehicles, ghostly figures, and other paranormal activities. America is a glorious and airy country of the sky, but at the same time, it is famous for its haunted roads. Truck drivers have more American road know-how than anyone else. Given the lonely and deserted streets of the city, nothing is scarier. These roads are eerie and haunted, so you don't want your truck to break down.

As a truck driver, you need to know all the details about America's most haunted roads. Even if you're on a big truck, driving on an empty road is the scariest thing at night. We know that you may be accustomed to ghosts, but haunted highways are the most dangerous to get through. This is the top five haunted roads truckers should avoid in the United States.

1: Shades of Death

The Shadow of Death Road is one of the most haunted roads alongside Jenny Jump State Forest in Warren Country, and many legends relate to it. This road follows an old haunted road, and many claim to have seen the dead walking down the road. The Shades of Death Road was once thought to be the curse of the region because of the many death stories of this haunted road.

2: Route 2A: The most commonly used route for trucks

Aroostook Country, Maine is the most haunted route for truck drivers and is known as the tombstone that can be seen along Route 2A. Dangerous and dark roads full of blind corners and sharp curves, especially in snow and ice conditions. It can be called a haunted route, as many drivers have reported girls standing on the side of the road. There are many stories related to these haunted roads, like a woman yelling for help from a driver or truck driver, but when they go to help, she suddenly disappears. Route 2A is one of the most horrifying haunted roads in the United States for truck drivers. These roads have an eerie view as a truck rider, especially in the winter months when it snows, and following these routes is not an easy task.

3: Boy Scout Lane-Stevens Point, Wisconsin

The Boy Scout Lane Road is one of the haunted roads due to the rumors. In the 1950s, a group of Boy Scouts traveled this haunted road for a camping trip, and they never returned. There are many stories about the disappearance of the boys, but there is no record on the date that this happened. That's why this road is famous for this story and is called the Boy Scout Lane. Some say it was a murder scene, others say it was a forest fire. However, boy ghosts often tend to disturb truck drivers. However, although the US government owns this road, if someone still wants to stay near Stevens Point, stay away from the haunted highway.

4: Bloods Point Road-Boone County, Illinois

This haunted highway is an easy-going legend, and the road is full of haunted cars for trucks and school buses. The story of these ghosts is the worst nightmare for drivers. That's why Blood Point Road is famous as a haunted road. Some trucks consider large traffic jams to be the most frightening and as scary as ghosts. Bloods Point Road runs between Wheeler Road and Fairdale Road. It consists of various intersections, from the Cherry Valley to the quarry. The state is famous for its paranormal energy and has been reported as a haunted path with strange sights and ghostly activity. Things are reported to be much more tricky when someone travels on Blood Point Road at night. No one lives and comes to Bach is the most haunted road in the United States.

5: Highway 299: California's Most Spooky Truck Highway

California's haunted highway 299 crosses the state from east to west. This highway dictionary is full of ghost stories, especially in the five-mile area between Lake Whiskeytown and Old Shasta City. Shasta is the scariest park in California, a famous ghost town. The town is famous as the destination of the busiest gold rush formed in the 1850s. As a result, the area was famous as the destination for the busiest gold rush. Whiskeytown is underwater and Shasta is still used for travel purposes.

Fast Lane Cars for The Sims 2 By Shasta and Gingers

To be honest I didn’t seen those two cars coming :P Those conversions were mostly done by amazing @shastakiss but Shasta had some problems with converting it and she asked me if I could help her. I’m very happy that it all went that way because I had so much fun working with Shasta. I hope that soon we’ll be able to share with you some more results of our cooperation. Enjoy ♥
