Medieval Name Default Replacement Mod

Updated to be compatible with Kuttoe's Townie Demographics mod on March 8th, 2025 Released on September 22nd, 2024

Sul sul, and hail, my fellow medieval gameplay enjoyers! Have you grown tired of scouring the internet for names appropriate for Ultimate Decades Challenge, or the History Challenge, or any other gameplay that includes a medieval time period? Because I sure did, and that's why I got the idea to create this mod for those of us who want to just leave it up to the game to name our sims. And now, I'm so so excited to present it to you now!

If you don't want to read about the mod and just want to skip straight to downloading it, scroll to the very bottom of this post (under the "keep reading")! But if you want to know, I have written up a bit about the mod below.

How does it work?

It's very simple. You download the mod, and put it into your mods folder. Once the mod is in your folder, load up the game. In both CAS, and randomly generated townies, the available names will only be selected from a pool of medieval names.

When in CAS, if you use the die to randomize a name, it will only give you medieval names, like so:

When a townie is randomly generated in town, they will no longer have modern names, like so:

When your sim gives birth to a baby, the random name options will all be appropriately medieval, like so:

Is it compatible only with English?

It should be compatible with every language the game can be installed in, because I made the language "Global," and Miss Chipsa confirmed for me that it worked on a Russian-installed game!

Any details on the names you can provide us?

Well, it would be far too long of a list for me to tell you all of the names, but here are the details I can share - (under the cut)

a little over 3500 female names

a little over 7200 male names

a little over 13,400 surnames/bynames

the date range that these names should be appropriate for is between 800 and 1500, because that is the range that I pulled names from

Indian names replaced by medieval German

Islander names replaced by medieval Dutch

Japanese names replaced by medieval French

Moroccan names replaced by medieval Scottish/Irish

Latin names replaced by medieval Spanish/Portuguese

Native American names replaced by medieval Lithuanian, Latvian, Hungarian, Russian, and Romanian (I wanted to add all of these languages separately but ran out of categories)

Southest Asian names replaced by medieval Italian

a little over 1400 pet names (cats, dogs, and horses)

in the future, I intend to add names for the farm animals as well

Where did you get your names?

All human names in this mod have been sourced from this website: HERE.

Any other details I should know?

base game compatible, but it might be a little glitchy if your game isn't up-to-date.

you may only have one name replacement mod in your game at a time

this mod is subject to change as I find more names, so check back occasionally to see if the version is new!

if you have any questions or suggestions for names, feel free to message me

works for every age

will not replace the names of sims that have already been created

Bunch of DST headcanons for WX-78 cause I adore this automaton way too much and gotta ramble about them ⚙️🧡

Under Cut. Pretty long post there's honestly quite A LOT.

Never truly lost any of their memories from before they became an automaton, just suppresses them REALLY hard.

Massive cat person, one of the few living creatures they got a soft spot for. Too embarrassed to keep any though.

Absolutely can't cook for shit, really bad at it and barely tries. Tied with Willow for most kitchen fires.

Enjoys baked goods a lot! Got a bit of a sweet tooth. It's the real reason they love butter muffins so much.

Has two different types of laughs. One being a sarcastic very monotone “HA HA HA” they use just to mock others, and a genuine more “human” like chuckle they’ll make when they actually find something funny. The genuine one however also sounds really jank and glitchy though cause their voice wasn’t built for it.

Uses binary code as a second language of sorts. Switches to it when they wanna say something but don’t want the others to actually understand them. They also tend to switch to binary involuntary when they are either really excited or incredibly anxious.

Suffers from Talassophobia (fear of large bodies of water). They’re ironically fine with water itself, but are terrified of things like being in the ocean, and had this issue even back when they were still human. They are actually really good at hiding it though, unless they KNOW they are gonna fall in.

Was actually sent to The Constant back around when Maxwell was still on the throne. They ended up becoming a pawn and got the same treatment as all the others when they antagonized and pissed Maxwell off while he interrogated them.

They were never actually designed to do human like things such as eating or sleeping, nor should things like getting sick or healing from food/medicine be possible for them. They got no idea where these abilities came from and it WORRIES them. Blames it on The Constant’s weirdness to ease their mind.

They didn’t really have much of a family when they were human, which led them to grow a habit of labeling their fellow machines as family. They didn’t have a mom at all growing up, which is why they insist on viewing the science machine as their mom instead.

Back when they were human, they used to consider Wagstaff as their only real friend, which makes the betrayal hurt so much more.

Is the most fond of Winona out of the whole camp. She's the only one they will even slightly admit to care about, but would never say it out loud. (She can tell ❤️)

Also decently gets along with Willow and Wendy quite well. Willow cause of her destructive and chaotic nature, and Wendy due to her more downer look on life/living and being the most chill out of the children.

Ironically, their love language (as in how they SHOW love) is actually act of service. If they genuinely like/care about you enough they will be willing to tackle certain tasks for you (though they'll deny it and get a bit snappy if you even point it out).

Asexual, but not necessarily aromantic. They actually could feel romantic attraction in some rare situations, but they are very romance repulsed and will likely never act on those feelings even if they have em

Hi and Hello fellow GFFC members! 😌

Quick update about GFFC Movie Night: Memories, The date will be pushed back just a few days, most likely the 14th or so.

Very sorry! The script I had decided it didn’t want to be apart of the event and didn’t save 🥲 Fear not! We will still have a silly event of course 😌

Buuuut—! While you wait for Movie Night I just so happen to have a quiz for you! 🙈

Just a silly little questionnaire about GFFC members! :D (inspired by rini)

Link to the survey!

I apologize I was only able to include about 28 members in the quiz, the quiz glitched too bad 🫠 I included the most active/older members, so I’m very sorry if you do not see your name on it, you weren’t forgotten, just it was too glitchy 😓

Please finish as soon as you can so I can get out the results soon! <3

Thank you for your patience and understanding!! T.T

– Mira n Kira <3

[randomalistic]

Anyways here’s a rambling infodump thing about all the similarities between Spamton and Turbo and then some. (you should bully me for this)

My fixation on both of them… they feed into eachother.

3 foot tall FREAK !!!!!

THE INSANE SMILER…

Glitchy and pixelated

Full of envy, pent up hatred, DESPERATELY CRAVES REVENGE.

Kinda ugly </3

Or at least. Unconventional!

Used to drive a car when he was popular

I know there’s a difference between being a car spokesman and being a racer but it’s close enough <3 Spamton would not know how to drive a cungadero they just told him to pose in there and smile. Ok Headcanon OVER !!!!

Had it all in the 80s/90s before losing the spotlight

Turbo did his bullshit in 1987 (actual road blasters release year) and Spamton did his bullshit in 1997

Only really known as an unspeakable rumor and lives in infamy

It’s more like everyone “moved on” from Spamton and forgot about him (or at least tried to forget about him…) where with Turbo what he did was so bad that he’s only known for that ONE thing

Goes in hiding for decades

Spamton has his alleyway dumpster, and maybe other areas of cyber city with low traffic. Turbo’s hiding was implied to have been in the depths of game central station until Sugar Rush was plugged in. (Which I think was asked about in an AMA) Both are like. ~30 YEARS of hiding 💀

Would go any length for the same attention again

The interesting thing about this is Turbo DOES win. He does get that attention back by disguising as King Candy and being able to race again, and he keeps it for however long Sugar Rush was around for before the events of the movie. Spamton never gets it back…

But at least Spamton doesn’t get INCINERATED so I’d say he’s better off, even if the best outcome is him becoming an item

Dependent on some kid for his plan to work

Although Spamton’s relationship with Kris (dependent on them helping him) is pretty different than King Candy’s relationship with Vanellope (dependent on her not interfering) I still think it’s funny that they both have beef with children

Later attempted murder of said kid

Quality villains out here not even hesitating to kill kids to get what they want !!!

Imitated/fabricated identity

Spamton imitates Swatch, Turbo fabricates (?) King Candy

Stupid catchphrase

NOW’S YOUR CHANCE TO BE [TurboTastic!]

BOSS BATTLE FORM IS FUCKKKKED

They essentially have the same monologue of “THANKS TO YOU I'M MORE POWERFUL THAN EVER!! But it's not enough... so I'm going to kill you anyways"

I think King Candybug’s Face resembles SNEO in a weird way. Mostly just the big eyes and weird nose and THE SMILERRRRR. They have very similar vibes! I will stop myself now!

Virus/malware adiacent

Turbo literally claims he’s a virus by the end of the movie and Spamton is Spamton

Critically Acclaimed Tumblr Man (and hated)

From my RESEARCH. (Aka. Looking up art of him) Apparently a lot of people on tumblr liked Turbo in 2013. And those people have since become spamton people (perhaps ……) I guess that is me now too. Really unfortunate

Lore ties into a real life video game (Petz & Road Blasters)

In the sweepstakes spamton was kinda confirmed to come from a Petz game. I also didn’t know road blasters was Real until I started looking into it . (TurboTime is fake tho) But there’s a very specific similarity for you. Fucked up characters blurring the lines into real life my beloved

Rivalry/broken friendship with Those similar looking fellas (I’m running out of brain power here)

Spamton had the Addisons, which were like his friends? Fellow advertisers. Looked a bit like him, just taller with different colors. Spamton left them after becoming a big shot because he thought he didn’t need them anymore…

Turbo had the “turbo twins” (the 2 other blue racers in his game) idk if that’s their official name cuz they kinda barely exist in canon.. I think it’s popular fanon that Turbo is shorter than both of them, but that’s actually not true. But I’m still gonna count it. Anyways he KILLED them when he got turbotime unplugged. THEYRE DEAD.

Extreme temperature related death (is this a stretch)

Less of a similarity and more of an interesting contrast

Turbo burns to death when he’s INCINERATED in diet cola mountain. I could ramble about this a lot but. That’s for my second account

And Spamton NEO (in snowgrave at least) is FROZEN SOLID by noelle. He shouldn’t have asked for that ice cream man

Anyways I get similar vibes from those guys..

I hope they explode.

Also thinking more about this is making me realize how similar in concept deltarune and Wreck it Ralph are. As in, those apps and computer programs in the computer lab ? Yeah they’re alive and theres a whole ass cyber city and mansion and theres a ton of little guys living in there! (And same goes for the card kingdom in chapter 1)

Like if there was a dark world created in an arcade, it would probably look something like the WIR world. In a way, lightners would be the “players” because everything the game characters (darkners) do is to serve the players. I’m just saying !!!! These pieces of media are both Really Good!!!

Excised Tangent About Solver Powers

This was originally part of my mega-post on the Murder Drones Finale, "Okay Uzi, lets start Murdering, some Drones". I took it out because it turned out to not be as airtight as I thought (and also it kinda messed with the pacing), but I thought it was still a pretty good write-up, so I'm posting it here, with corrections of course.

OKAY, TANGENT TIME, Something I've noticed about the Solver Drones is that their powersets aren't always one-to-one. The Solvers seem to specialise, and do things that other Solver Drones can't do. It might not be a hard rule, simply a matter of practiced techniques, but it accentuates the drones fighting styles in a cool way, that I like. Anyway, the differences: • Cyn can create scythe limbs, tentacles and camera head limbs that can create illusions. These reflect her general creepiness and duplicitous behaviour, although some of these might be attributable to the Solver itself • Doll can teleport in a cluster of glitchy particles, and can also duplicate objects she maniplates. If I had to derive a metaphor out of that (and I do), I'd say they could represent her detachedness and tendency to see her fellow drones as interchangable and expendable to her goals (she slaughtered the whole Prom Court for her Queen Scheme in "The Promening" (and also just killed two fleeing drones for no reason??? (god forbid women do anything))) • Uzi can... I don't know, she's the only one with that weird tail I guess? She just got her solver recently, give her a minute. OKAY, TANGENT OVER, the point is that the Solver Drones have signiature techniques unique to them. However, these techniques can be aquired; after Uzi consumes Cyn's heart, she gains Cyn's mobility tentacles (you can see them when she's dead right after, and also when she shows off at the end), as well as the Yellow Solver itself. And she's not the only one; in her battle with Uzi, Cyn utilises a teleport very similar to Doll's, a teleport that, as far as I can recall, she never uses before this episode(it's always her illusions dissipating or something). She doesn't use it for mobility either; she just blips around to look intimidating and go for trick shots, and it eventually gets her killed, implying that she might not be all that versed in using it.

I crossed out the bit that turned out to be completely wrong; Cyn uses the teleport whilst possessing Uzi in "Mass Destruction", BEFORE she eats Doll's core. This doesn't mean the tangent is completely bunk; Cyn had consumed part of Doll's body before this point, and could have acquired the teleport from that. She also only uses it once in that fight, prefering to lean on [NULL] and her scythe limbs, so she might not be used to it. But that's not as clean a speculation as I would like, kinda teeters into headcanon territory. Headcanons are great, of course, but not really what I wanted for the mega-post. And so, the tangent lives here, in Gay Baby Jail.

EDIT: God damnit, she teleports in "Home" too! UGH, NEVERMIND, the teleport isn't unique to Doll, FINE.

I think Doll's still the only one to do that duplication thing though, so the rest still stands decently I guess

it is time for the second goober. say hi to Narrowing Inversion Executed Right

this absolute goof and her local group were built by ancients that basically viewed iterators as tools and who immediately for the most part ditched the whole gang because "oh hey we're making some way way newer ones". basically yeah her ancients were shitheads to her and her fellow puters in general. also they did some fun things like almost half-dissecting NIER specifically for free parts for aforementioned newer iterators. anyway end result she becomes avid ancient hater and after witnessing some more iterators that went through similar experiences comes to the conclusion that all traces of the ancients as a species and civilization should be wiped from existence altogether. iterators who like ancients, mass ascension survivor ancients and just about anything that gets in the way are also on the delete list.

hacking enthusiast and generator of malware that game ends your brain activity and or messes with your processing in general. also is in a friendgroup of like 3 iterators (other two being Broken Can the silly goober who enjoys rot to an absolutely unnecessary degree and Molten Karma the. literal mobile weapon) with similar fuck-the-ancients-let's-kill-their-shit-and-anyone-who-gets-in-the-way goals who indulge in... exactly that 24/8. More specifically, NIER is basically the one who runs the whole thing. overall yeah. Very Normal Iterator oh and also as a result of the attempted partial dissection she lacks an actual puppet. later recreated (a slightly tweaked, because she silly version of) it with holograms, which is what's seen here. Also she made the hologram puppet slightly glitchy On Purpose thumbs up emoji

also this is the correct head proportion i have no hecking clue why i drew it as bigger

oh this design freakin SLAPS. can i join her ancient hater club

Message

A Mermay Prompt

Masterlist

Prev / Next

“U-U-Ugh!” Complained the glitchy voice of your new companion. You were starting to understand why his name was Error. “Wh-Why did-d you ha-ha-have t-to nest-st s-so far away-ay-ay-ay?” It was like a broken record. You tried not to let it get to you but it was really annoying that every few minutes he’d complain like a fussy child. Big man baby ribbon eel.

“We’re Only One More Mile Away Error!” Blue chirped. He didn’t seem phased in the slightest by Error’s behavior. “Thank You For Agreeing To Come! It Really Means A Lot To Me!” He swam closer to Error but not close enough to touch. Error had been very strict about touch when you’d met him. So much so that he’d almost immediately attacked you even though you hadn’t even approached him. Blue had gotten between you and calmed Error with surprising speed. Error didn’t threaten you again after that.

“M-M-Mmh.” Error grumbled. “Wh-Whatever. You o-o-owe me-me f-f-for this-is.” He didn’t clarify what exactly Blue owed him. He also didn’t seem like the type ask favors of people, opting instead to get his own hands dirty.

Blue’s smile didn’t waver. “Of Course, Error! You Know I Love To Help!”

“Mhm-m-m.”

It was weird.

You could see the power in this beast. The way the water rippled and sharpened around him into silvery blue strings that whipped around in his agitation. The way Dream had immediately put Blue between him and Error before retreating back to his den, leaving you in Blue’s more than capable hands. The power blazing in his mismatched eyelights that made Nightmare’s cyan eye look tame. The way he didn’t hesitate in any decision because he was certain nothing could stop him anyways.

And yet he was easily calmed by your fellow dolphin siren.

Not completely calmed, Error still growled and hissed and was overall aggressive, he was just less likely to do anything rash while Blue was talking. Which encouraged you to keep Blue talking.

“So, uh…” You rubbed the back of your neck. “How are you both doing?” It felt dumb to ask, but you didn’t know either of these people really.

Blue chirruped. “I’m Doing Great! Thank You For Asking, Y/n! And How Are You? Does That Spot Still Itch?”

“Yeah, a little bit. But it’s not as bad as earlier. Thank you, by the way.”

“Of Course! I Am Always Glad To Help!”

“Wh-Wh-What a-are you ta-ta-talking about-out?” Error grouched, his brows furrowed at being left out of the conversation.

“Y/n Had A Suckerfish Stuck To Them And I Helped Them Get It Off.” Blue supplied.

Error laughed and his eyes locked onto you even though he was still talking to Blue. “A-A-Aww, Blue-ue-ue! Y-You c-c-could have-ave l-left it for a-a-a-a f-few min-min-minutes longer! I-I-I would-ld-ld h-have enjoy-joy-joyed th-that!”

Blue scowled sternly. “Error, We Don’t Leave People In Pain Just Because It’s Funny.”

“Y-Y-You don’t-t.” Error grinned, baring his sharp teeth.

Blue responded with a heavy hearted sigh. “Let’s Not. How Are You Doing, Error? Y/n Did Ask Both Of Us.” He turned the question on the destroyer curiously.

Error scoffed. “M-M-My peace-eace was int-interup-rup-rupted b-b-by two abom-ominations an-and an annoy-oy-oying dolphin-in. I’m ter-ter-terrible.”

“Aw, Thanks!” Blue whistled happily at the insult.

Okay. There was either something terribly wrong with these two or you were missing important information.

You had a feeling you wouldn’t get an answer to that.

“Y/n? Wait, Blue?!”

“Cross!” You and Blue chirped at the same time, turning toward the voice.

Cross caught sight of Error and hesitated as he came closer. “What are you doing here, Blue?” He asked, reaching out for your hand.

“Mweheheh!” Blue laughed. “I Am Here Because Y/n Invited Me! How Are You Doing, Cross?”

“Uh, I’m good, I guess. Y/n, what’s going on?” Cross’s tense gaze didn’t leave Error and the eel gave him a big toothy grin. He pulled you closer to himself.

You let him pull you. “So, you know how Killer got hyped up on positivity and Nightmare helped him balance out? And now Boss has been acting really tired?”

Cross’s brows scrunched together as he looked down at you. “…He has been really tired… but what does this have to do with Blue and Error?” His eyes shot back to the destroyer, who was starting to look annoyed.

Blue noticed Error’s frown. “Mweh! Would You Like To Answer That, Error?”

At the attention, Error relaxed and scoffed. “Y-Y-You t-tell him, B-B-Blue. I d-don’t care-are.” He crossed his arms and looked away.

“Of Course.” Blue smiled, as always, and turned to address Cross. “Y/n Had The Amazing Idea Of Inviting Me And Error Over To Help Nightmare Get Rid Of The Lingering Positivity In His Body. Dream Has Had A Similar Problem Before And Asked Me To Help As Well.”

Cross’s eyes darted between the three of you, more concerned than confused. He pulled you away. “I’d like to talk to y/n real quick.”

“Mweh! Of Course! We’ll Be Right Here When You’re Ready!” Blue chirped

“Sp-Sp-Speak f-for yourself-self.”

As Blue started entertaining Error, you and Cross took a sidebar. Cross pulled you around and held you by the shoulders.

“Y/n. What were you thinking? You left the pod and went to get Blue and Error all by yourself? Are you insane?” He snapped. You could see the worry behind his anger.

“I wasn’t alone. Dream helped me-.”

“That’s worse! Do you not remember what happened the other day?”

“I remember!” You shoved him away. “I’m the one that went through that! But Ink wasn’t there this time and Dream has only ever been nice to me. He just wants to fix things with Nightmare. Cross, he wants to help. Isn’t that a good thing?”

Cross hesitated and glanced back at your guests. “…Maybe. I’d say he has good intentions, but the guys… they won’t believe him for a second. He could just make things worse.”

“That’s why he’s not coming. Cross.” You pulled his focus back to you. “I brought Error and a message and I haven’t delivered either. Could you please help me?” You pleaded.

He glared at you, his eyelights dilating at you. “You’re ridiculous. Fine, I’ll help. I’ll let the guys know what’s going on. Just wait here and don’t do anything stupid.”

“Yeah, yeah, I’ll try. Be safe.”

Cross turned to your guests. “Blue, I will be leaving for a little while. Guard y/n, would you?” You punched Cross’s arm. You could take care of yourself!

Blue smiled. “I Will Help In Any Way I Can!” He chirped happily.

With that, Cross sped off for only a few minutes before returning with Dust. They escorted you and your guests into the trench while Error kept puffing up proudly and flashing his colors every time he glanced at Dust. Sure Dust wasn’t as pretty, but he didn’t have to rub it in.

You and Cross crested the edge of the trench first and you froze. Now that you knew, it was much easier to spot Nightmare’s exhaustion but you would have noticed anyways. The leviathan was laid out on the bottom of the trench, Killer circling his head and Horror worrying at his hand. Despite the worry from the boys, he had a comforting smile on his face as he tried to soothe them.

His eye was half-lidded.

“Boss.” Cross called carefully. “We brought help.”

Nightmare looked up and his eye caught on Error. The eel sneered at him, smug. Boss sighed. “I did not need help, Cross. I told you, nothing is wrong.”

“Y-Y-You look l-like a dying-ing st-st-starfish.” Error observed.

“Error!” Blue scolded.

“A-A-Am I wr-wrong??”

Ignoring the chaos that came with Error, you swam forward into the trench. Nightmare watched you swim all the way down. Killer and Horror didn’t acknowledge you in their worry.

“Nightmare,” You started. “I know you’re not okay. We know you’re not okay. Please let us help.”

Nightmare glanced between the four other sirens of the pod. He sighed. “If it will make you feel better.”

“Also, I have a message.”

Nightmare smirked at you. “Oh~? A message? From who?”

“From Dream.”

Everything stopped.

Killer, Horror, and Nightmare were staring at you with varying expressions of shock as Error cackled like a glitchy witch behind you.

“Y/n.” Killer said, tense. “You were talking to Dream?”

“Yes.” You responded boldly. “He’s been very helpful to me. He had a simple request, I said I’d do it.”

“Still.” Killer growled.

“Killer.” Nightmare warned. Killer backed off and swam down to join Horror. Nightmare looked back to you. “What is the message?”

“He said he wants to negotiate peace and I quote; ‘I swear on my apple I will let you have the first say.’ And said you can bring whoever.” You supplied. “Out in the dunes by Blue’s place.”

“What’s an apple?” Killer piped up.

“It’s a fruit on land. I don’t know why Dream was talking about it though. I’ve never seen or heard of an apple-like plant in the water.” You said, just as confused as Killer.

Nightmare hummed vaguely. “It’s not a normal apple. Y/n, did he set a date?”

“Uh… no. I think he wanted me to ask you.”

“Good. I will take time to recover and then I’d like you to be my messenger, y/n, to discuss a time to meet with my brother.”

“What?!?!” Yelled four sirens at once.

You smiled. “I’d love to, Nightmare.”

[simlicious]

I just finished the Sims 4 reaper challenge, just in time. Whoever influencer on youtube said it would only take 20 minutes to complete was so wrong *shakes fist*

Maybe if you start with a sim who has all skills maxed out already. It took me 20 hours! I played vanilla except for MCCC and a couple of gardening mods. I just didn't have the stamina to update my 300+ mods I usually use. I had countless glitches to deal with, quests kept disappearing, for some reason my sims would only read a skill book for 10 minutes at a time before they would get up to do something else. It didn't help that my science-career sim got impregnated twice by aliens (even though I did use that machine to stop abductions, but it only lasts a short while). I had 3 nannies and they still couldn't take care of 2 infants correctly. I must admit that I did have fun though (and it may very well be due to my high tolerance of bugs and glitches I have developed in time). I started off with a vampire sim, since I have never played vampires before. Within 20 minutes, I managed to kill him due to overexposure to the sun (whoops). But it was fun playing as a vampire-ghost hybrid (glad hybrids like this are possible now).

Also, infant animations are adorable. They made up for a lot.

My sim ended up marrying fellow vampire Caleb Vatore (I gave him a bit of a makeover because I wasn't a particular fan of his emo vibe), in a hilariously disaster-filled my Wedding Stories catastrophe. I had to try twice, because on my first try, I couldn't click on the arch to get married, even though both grooms were present. The second one had the usual people who randomly got up to do pushups, but I chose a different venue and it seemed to fare better (the first was from the gallery, maybe it was just glitchy). Caleb brought a son into my household (is it just me or do other people also think that the dialogue "talk about expanding the family" refers to how the person feels about getting a kid together with the sim that asks the question?

This is apparently not how it works. They will just adopt a random kid if they are single, or get pregnant if they have a spouse. *sighs* why doesn't it say "convince to add a child to their household"? That would be much clearer.

Maybe I'll update my mods the next time I play (probably in 6 months, judging by my track record!)

I think the concept of a series of quests with rewards for each step is a good idea, especially for more involved things like ambrosia. I liked the guidance and quest steps, especially if you don't play a lot and don't want to read all the information somewhere in a guide.

I'm just not a fan of limited-time-only events in general! I think they should just be made events that you should be able to complete whenever you want. I only did that because I enjoy gardening with my sims and thought it would be a fun challenge to get ambrosia (and I could use it on my ghost sim!)

Now, I'm back to working on my Advent calendar 😊

[purefandomonium]

Just realized I never did get around to posting those headcanons for this version of Red, so I decided to do that.

General:

Red in this iteration is more supernatural than sentient glitch.

He works using similar logic to another version I have of him, where he is linked to the cartridge and will never be very far from it. However, unlike the other version, it's not as simple as passing the game off to some other sucker. Red here is in full control of his fate, having figured out how to leave the game at will and even being capable of pulling players in and trapping them, although doing that takes a lot out of him so he doesn't do it often.

Once he's decided to torment a player, the only way they're getting rid of him is--well, they can't. The only options are die, die, or go insane and then die.

There's a 0.0000001% chance Red himself will get bored of the torment and leave without killing them, but that's basically never going to happen.

There is no way to harm him physically and it's impossible to damage the game as well.

The cart is in a perpetual state of just being playable and will remain that way regardless of what's done to it.

The Glitchy Red pokepasta exists in this universe, and Red is very aware of it. He does not enjoy hearing about it.

It's unknown if he's even the original Glitchy Red or some kind of replica. His whole deal makes zero sense. I mean, how does a game from the '90s, whose code is held together with duct tape, used gum and best wishes, suddenly develop a digital spirit? Perhaps some supernatural meddling was involved at some point... Red himself certainly won't tell.

Personality:

Is an asshole with zero remorse for his actions.

Tormenting players is a game to him, and it's the only one he'll play. He likes to see how long they'll hold up against the psychological onslaught. It's usually not long.

Despite how much he enjoys his violent acts of revenge, he does get bored of it. Most players don't survive for very long and he doesn't even need to try for them to break. He's capable of so much more yet never gets a chance to use his full power. (That's why he's so pumped when Reader shows up. Finally, a real challenge.)

He's perpetually bitter and dare I say angsty from the suffering he's been through.

He's capable of feeling any emotion, but his primary state of being is angry and spiteful.

On the off chance he is feeling something different, it's likely only because there's no one messing with the game. If left to his own devices he's actually quite contemplative and serene, and tends to spend his time basking in the sunlight or enjoying nature.

Is basically a bitchy cat when calm.

It's impossible to befriend him if you're someone in possession of the cart. By default, that makes you an enemy regardless of your intentions or even if you had no idea about it. Ex: Someone gives you a box of old games and junk and you tuck it away in an attic without so much as looking through it. Doesn't matter that you didn't know he was there, you do now >:(

The only chance anyone has to befriend him is if they're someone in a similar predicament/a fellow entity. Escaped tortured experiment who knows nothing but misery? Welcome to the club.

Might also consider a being who likes to torment humans a potential friend too, if given the chance. He does like his torture.

He's actually very intelligent and crafty. He knows how to get his desired results without even needing to lift a finger. Whether it be forcing players to destroy their lives, tricking them into doing his bidding, or making them agree to a terrible deal and trapping their soul within the game to be used as a spare punching bag.

A couple of players have managed to beat him at his own game and he's still holding onto that grudge.

Abilities:

Intangibility--he can interact with the world/people, but they can't touch him.

Limited mind control--he can hypnotize players and alter their dreams but can't turn them into full-on puppets unless they're really worn down. Even then, it's usually only limited to things like obsessively playing the game or forcing them to stay awake.

Can inflict a powerful sense of fear onto others without even needing to do anything. Think Patrick's "He's just standing there... menacingly!"

Energy drain--the thing that allowed him to break free of the game. Over the years he learned how to steal and harness players' lifeforce, using it to bring himself into the real world. It's also how he went from glitch in the matrix to full-on evil spirit.

Shapeshifting--mostly into glitches or Pokemon, but can do people too if he feels like it. He's used this ability before to imitate dead loved ones as part of his torment.

Despite his origins, he can't interact with technology. He lost any ability to do that when he became what he is now. He still causes electronics to glitch out when he's near/his temper flares but only in the way supernatural entities do. Move the devices away from him and they'll return to normal with no damage done.

Teleportation--Only outside of a certain distance of the cart, as he can't be too far from it. He can only teleport himself as well, and has to actually have the cart with him to teleport that too. If he's got it, then he can go anywhere he pleases.

Dog's Life - 3rd Life SMP Fan-Season

❤️ Read on AO3

💛 Longfic - In progress - Updates Tuesdays

💚 More Pixels Imperfect series 'fics

💜 Worldbuilding posts + Art posts

---

Synopsis: Dog's Life is a 3rd Life SMP fan-season (Drafted before Secret Life) that balances goofy Minecraft gameplay with server hub meta. Life Series shenanigans and interpersonal drama abound in this world of mob hybrids, anarchy players, soul crystals, fantasy politics, glitches, dragons, moral dilemmas, past trauma, and more.

This season's mechanic allows players to steal the traits of the mob they most recently killed. Every player is also assigned a quarry: a fellow player they're allowed to kill to boost themselves up a life. If you kill your quarry while on Green, you're bumped up to Purple life.

Of course, playing in a world of glitchy servers and experimental mods is just asking for trouble. It doesn't take long to realize something is very wrong with this game... And with anarchy players closing in around the "hidden" server hub of New Star Station, it looks like life off-server may not be peaceful much longer, either...

If this 'fic interests you, check it out on AO3!

Also, everyone gets their own character arc! Some of my favorites include:

- Sometimes you lose things you'll never get back and you're gonna have to deal. Sorry about your chronic glitches and/or your irreversible isekai situation; get well soon - Assuming the worst of others will only cause you heartbreak. Hey clock duo? Get some counseling - You can't be best friends with everyone, but everyone can be the best friend to someone. Including nonexistent museum curators or demon robots with a special interest in rustic houses - Setting boundaries is healthy and cool even if you're scared of offending your friends. Especially if they insist on you possessing someone's body - Captain status isn't all it's cracked up to be. Sometimes you CAN get what you're sure you want... but at what cost? 💔

Enjoy! (First 1,000 words under the cut)

impulseSV - Pre-Game

Grian: impulse Grian: what kind of candles do you want in your summoning circle Grian: the new life series impulseSV: lol impulseSV: ocean mist is good! impulseSV: and bamboo :)

💚  💛  ❤️

Impulse isn't breathing. You wouldn't either, if you were the one flying through the Void. Breathing here will fill your lungs with icy spikes. Yeah, he was technically coded as a demon, his mortal flesh warm with the taste of life, but breathing here still wouldn't be a good idea. It's smarter to free-fall in an exhale. Smarter to suck the empty air through your nostrils (if at all).

The Void smells like frost burn, gunpowder, and the gooey poison of cave spiders all mixed together and baked in a cake of death. It's a small improvement over the steamy sulfur of the Nether, but neither one is a cake you should be eating. While the Void isn't alive, sometimes Impulse hears it huffing at him. If you skim low enough, you can hear saliva crackle as it licks its lips and rumbles, hungry for its prey. It wants you. More than any lover every will, more than any ravager or vex or creeper, and it will crush your lungs if you so much as grant it breath. Impulse has died to it a dozen times, but this won't be one of those days.

It's a wall. It divides this world from other worlds. It will gobble you up and leave a petrified husk behind. Your unmoving body will float a few moments in empty space until the Void spits out your code again beside a bed. Falling out of this world, plunging into the depths of the Void, is one of the fastest deaths there is (right up there with a bad fall that snipes all ten of your hearts in one blow)… but it's the death that always takes the longest to regenerate from. You never hit the ground. There is no sudden snap. It just devours you. It's dangerous and beautiful and Impulse loves it for its mysteries. He wants to grip it in his hands. Run thick streams of it through his fingers. Immerse himself in danger and delight.

The Void will kill him if he spends much longer down here. Even if he holds his breath. And he can't fault it for that. When he's down to the last threads of durability on his elytra, he really shouldn't be skimming this low in the inky darkness. It's either been 15 minutes or an hour of waiting for Grian's call… Both are indistinguishable, the rocket count the only indication that time exists down here under the world at all.

Yet some kind of yearning in his code demands he play the waiting game here… Something raw, something primal, buried deep within his data core.

Question: Why?

Impulse blasts another rocket, arcing upwards. Years of practice keep him from bashing his head straight into the bedrock ceiling, but… Eee, that squeal he made when scraping close wasn't exactly the most manly thing he'd ever done. Skizz would get a giggle out of it and wax poetic about how much he loves those little shrieks, but Skizz isn't here right now. He's off in the mines hunting down a little extra coal. Though he didn't bump his head, Impulse rubs it anyway and gives the bedrock a little kick.

"Mean," he mutters to himself. He should probably stay up here. There's more oxygen near the bedrock. The cold doesn't bite as much. But he dips his elytra and ducks away from the ceiling anyway… mostly because he doesn't trust himself enough not to slip up and punch it with his fist. With ungloved hands, punching it is sure to result in damaged knuckles. His hunger haunches aren't full enough to offer natural regen after that.

Goosebumps blister across his skin. The yawning Void stays empty underneath him. And Impulse, so often steady in his faith… begins to falter. What's going on? He made a schedule. Has recording for the new Life Series already started without him? Maybe Grian told him the wrong date. Or…

Maybe, in spite of last week's chat messages about candles on the Hermitcraft server… Grian forgot that one of his players needs a special invitation to join a new world for the first time. As a demon, it's built inside his code. He needs a circle. His name chanted thrice…

No. Grian won't forget him.

Impulse swoops into the blackness and pulls up like a hummingbird. He juggles double rockets in his offhand. Okay. Okay. His breath slithers out in a silver cloud. Every inhale stabs his lungs. The Void is freezing- really freezing. Do people realize that? It's already eating away his skin like maggots and he hasn't even touched the worst of it. Or is he just crazy? Yeah! Maybe he's gone crazy from spending 15 minutes to an hour straight down here, doing nothing but fly in aimless circles, awaiting a portal that may never come…

The Void feels blacker here in the Overworld, somehow, than it does when you're in the End. It engulfs him in a cloak, and Impulse cannot breathe. The wings of his elytra strain at his shoulder muscles. Oh. He's too low. They're trying to pull away from him, like the pockets flapping from his cargo shorts. The wings are weaving in and out of his code. That's not unusual this close to the Void. The Void is weird like that. It wants to rip him into pieces. It wants to drag him closer. It wants to gobble him up.

Paf! goes half a heart of damage. Paf! Paf!

Ow. Impulse whips his mind back from its wanderings, throwing all his energy into his wing muscles. His elytra strain, but with the help of a rocket, he sails a little higher. His hearts stop flickering. He presses a hand against his chest. Okay… He can still feel six of them beating. He's okay.

Grian won't forget about him. He won't.

[asiadoesstuff]

I had… very concerning dreams last night.

They were all actually recurring dreams from years ago, but yk…

I’m gonna skip over the first dream, since it’s not Fandroid Related and it also would be very triggering for some people who have experienced someone bringing… ‘certain machinery’ to their school…

Anyways, I’ll tell you all the 2nd dream I had…

It was a Fandroid Dream.

404 managed to break into the Security Bunker and started dismantling all the bots in the bunker.

404 starts with the ‘other 32 bots’ in the room. It was quite hard to though, since everyone was running around shouting.

Every time 404 manages to grab a bot, it brutally rips apart the robot. The sounds of the blood-curdling screams coming from the poor bot until they can’t scream anymore, because they are dead.

Some bots call for BEEP-0, but poor BEEP-0 has already been a victim to 404; their body lying on it’s side in the Control Room, gutted like a fish.

Eventually, all the bots were dismantled; body parts strewn everywhere throughout the bunker. All bots… apart from Fandroid, Melody, and Frogbot.

The 3 of them were huddled into the corner, staring at the amalgamation of their fellow robots, made by some sort of parasite.

And what makes it worse, was that amalgamation was staring back at them; the sinister grin on it’s malformed face never faltering.

404 lets out a villain-esque laugh; it’s a mix between it’s voice, and all the other voices of the bots inside it. It’s glitchy, and faulty, but doesn’t stop it from sending chills down the trio’s metaphorical spines.

As 404 lets in a faulty inhale, it then proceeds to use it’s eyes to scan across the 3 robots…

…and it’s eyes land on Frogbot.

Suddenly, a wirey-appendage, - presumably an arm, - shoots out from 404’s body, and snatches Frogbot.

Fandroid tries to grab Frogbot’s arm; but alas, he tried to grab for the one that isn’t there.

Frogbot lets out a gut-wrenching scream as he is ripped apart by 404; Fandroid and Melody having to watch one of their friends’ eyes flicker out as their body is torn into 2.

The 2 remaining bots watch as their friend’s corpse is consumed by the amalgamate, watches as their friend joins the other victims.

Artificial tears start leaking out of Fandroid & Melody’s screened eyes. What they just witnessed was traumatising.

Their grip on eachother tightens; hoping, praying, that neither would be taken next; they were the only thing eachother had left; they couldn’t lose eachother.

But sadly, 404 doesn’t care about that.

Another wire-appendage-arm shoots out from the seething mass of wires and parts; wrapping itself around Melody before harshly pulling her away.

Luckily, Fandroid manages to grab ahold of Melody. It is now a life-or-death tug-of-war for the Drone Buddy.

The following dialogue happens…

“Melody, I’ve got you. I won’t let that thing take you, I swear-”

“Fandroid. Fandroid please don’t let go. Please-”

“I won’t let go. I won’t. Okay? I-I won’t let you be dismantled. You’re the only one left-”

“I’m scared. Fandroid, please, I don’t want to die-”

“I won’t let you die, Melody, as long as I’m here-”

“Fandroid. Fandroid you’re slipping. Please-”

“No, no, I’m not, I’ve got you, I swear I have-”

“Fandroid-”

Fandroid’s grip on Melody slips.

“FANDROID!—”

“MELODY!—”

Fandroid’s grip on Melody completely slips away, as Fandroid is sent flying back straight into a wall, and Melody hurtling towards the mass of wires and parts.

But Fandroid manages to recover quite quickly; quick enough to watch is Best Friend get brutally ripped apart.

“NO!—” Fandroid screams, stretching his arm out towards Melody. Melody lets out a heart-wrenching screech - her screen flickers out as she is torn into 2 pieces.

Fandroid is paralysed; he watches as 404 consumes his best friend, like she meant nothing.

To rub salt into the wound, a shard of her screen cracks off and lands right infront of Fandroid.

If Fandroid had tear ducts, he’d be bawling right now. But the grief-stricken cries from him will substitute for the lack of real tears. Maybe even the simulated tears rolling down his virtual face could suffice aswell.

Fandroid notices the shard of Melody’s screen; he scrambles for it; but before he can snatch it, a wirey tendril lands ontop of the shard and slurps it up like a noodle.

Fandroid looks up at 404.

“Why-” he croaks out through his sobs.

“WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS!?” He yells; a mix of anger and sadness plaguing his voice.

404 looks down at him. After a moment, it replies:

“T̷̮̋̓̾ͅớ̶͈̮̅ ̷̞̯̚g̷̡͎̺̈́̓̀ì̴̤v̵͙̼̒̇ȇ̶͉̺ ̵̪͍͍̋̂͒m̸͈̞̹͛ė̶͚̥̝͐ ̶̞̽͝á̴̯̯ ̵͔̝̽b̸̭̬͋o̴̧̖͋͊d̴̑̃��y̸̲̙̲̐͊̈́.”

Fandroid looks surprised at this answer; before settling onto a look of anger, disgust. That is not a good reason on why this thing should do this.

But 404 doesn’t care. Like it said; it’s only motive is to give itself a body. And that’s what it will do.

Another wire-appendage-arm shoots out and grasps Fandroid.

Fandroid instantly kicks into panic mode; he squirms and wriggles, trying to become free of this iron hold.

As he is drawn closer to 404, the squirming and wriggling becomes more frantic.

His mind is racing; he’s going to die.

But it’s no use.

When Fandroid finally arrives face to face with 404, another wirey-appendage-arm wraps around Fandroid’s monitor. Then, both wirey-appendage-arms start pulling in opposite directions.

Terrified grunts and mumbles escape Fandroid as his panicking starts to rise; those grunts and mumbles turning into distressed shouting.

Robots can’t really feel pain, but boy is this painful.

Agonising screams emit from Fandroid as he is teared apart; bolts and screws trying their best to keep him in one piece, but inevitably fails.

And just like that, the screaming comes to a faulty but painful stop.

Fandroid has been dismantled.

And just like the others, the corpse of Fandroid is consumed by the seething mass of wires and parts.

404 lets out another sinistrous laugh, the laugh now including Fandroid, Melody and Frogbot’s voices; it has become larger and more powerful.

It looks around at the Chaos it has caused. How beautiful is this?

404 then crawls out of the Security Bunker; there’s nothing else it needs here now.

It might be big, but it just needs one more thing; maybe a certain robot trapped in a certain box? He will make some fine parts to 404’s body.

And after that, 404 might go absorb some other parts… maybe QUALIA robots could be fine pieces… maybe humans could be good parts!

Bellowing laughter echoes throughout ADHOC.

404 has won.

Aaaaand that’s my dream! 😄 kinda scary, don’t you think? 👀

Anyways, that’s all! 😁 See you guys in my next post!; Have a Good Day/Night! ♥️ Goodbye! 😊👋

Semi-Open RP (Angel Dust's Only)

- Alastor

Though nothing but smiles on the outside, Alastor could feel the ƀᵾƶƶ of nerves annoyance in his bones, the usually outgoing and talkative man finally meeting his match in the form of one very flirty sinner that simply couldn't take a hint. Being a prospective guest for the hotel -- Charlie deciding to throw a somewhat formal gathering in an effort to draw in souls seeking redemption -- he was trapped by the cordial need of hospitality to make a good impression. He had tried to excuse himself to no avail, Alastor seriously contemplating if this one guest was worth this much restraint when he caught a certain spider over his captor's shoulder, tapping away on his phone.

Perfect.

Though usually not one to manipulate such modern tech, an exception was made in the form of glitchy text taking over Angel's phone screen, the word ⱧɆⱠ₱ flashing amongst the pixeled backdrop with a desperation near felt from the dreaded radio demon where he starred at his fellow sinner from across the room, hoping his message would be heeded.

Warren

Specie: Human TV head

Gender: Male (He/Him)

Abilities: being able to run Doom or any other game on his TV head, emmitting loud noises

Warren is a nice fellow who loves to pull little pranks, he's very silly and will laugh at the lamest joke for hours and hours. He originally was a human who worked in a TV factory but then one day an accident happened: A TV fell on his head and now it's kinda stuck there. This may seem dumb and impossibile but this Is a world where dogs play poker and raccoons wash dishes so anything is possibile! Warren is able to produce a high pitched glitchy sounds when threatened, he also sometimes "glitches" (it's like hiccups but his screen doesn't work and they're frequent)

[danvswild]

Okay the post button has been a bit glitchy but I logged back in and now it works :) Here are some of my updates

I’m dumping films from my instagram account (@_danvswild) since posting on two different platforms is proving to be very difficult lol

Day 1

Southern Terminus to mile 11.4 - 11.4 miles

Okay so I started my trail on 04/29th around noon!

I traveled 11.4 miles to campground near Hauser Creek. My feet are starting to blister but felt very good. I met a lot of fellow PCTers :) I started pretty late so it was sweltering and I think I brought too much food. My pack felt super heavy but I guess it should get better as I go. There were plenty of water sources because of the high snow year!

Happy new year, Meow! 🥳🏴‍☠️ For the gif maker ask game: 8, 12, 14

hey Danny, HAPPY NEW YEAR AND POSSIBLE RENEWAL DAY 🤡

8. Were you inspired by a fellow gifmaker to make a gifset?

This one of Stede's cute ass was purely for Ida (and all the other tnfrda mutuals)

12. What gifset made you feel the happiest to work on?

Besides the collection gifset of Ed and Stede's kisses (that I later edited to sneak the last two in and now the gif date makes it look like I was clairvoyant so SCORE!) I'd say the one with all of Stede's outfits was adorable and made me miss his s1 frills and laces so bad 😭

14. What gifset was the most difficult to make?

Besides the sad one for Alexz's birthday, I find the moonlight 2.0 scene very hard to colour personally, the blue sky is always going glitchy and pixelated on me 🥲 so all the gifs of that scene were pretty hard (and I love that scene with my whole heart so I do end up using it a LOT)
