#and sims 3 showtime but i mean like come on

[cocodotgreen]

Today is a big day: I am sharing my first world – “Simynthos” – with all of you! I’m very nervous about it, actually. It’s the first world I ever finished!

So what kind of world is it? It's inspiration, the island of Corfu, is one of the more northern islands of Greece. It is greener than the southern islands, and the architectural style is a bit different. It has surprisingly high mountains and cute little villages with tiny orange houses and narrow roads and pathways. It has olive groves with trees more than a thousand years old, and it has beaches with some of the clearest water I ever swam in. I tried to capture Corfu's atmosphere in this little world, so that my simmies may enjoy it, too! And now I hope, your simmies will enjoy it as well :)

To make it a “quick” project (still took more than a year, though 😬) I used the existing world “Sa Pineda” by the amazing @nilxis as a base. The island itself was not created by me, I only created the houses/lots and made over the vegetation.

Even though it is on a tiny map, it is a full world with several houses. It has almost all rabbit holes, and a lot for your sims to do – well, at least considering the sizes of the place. It can be a home world as well as a vacation world with Nraas Traveler mod (can be found here).

Other than my previous builds it does contain some CC. Most of it comes with the download, but not all (you will find all links to additional CC below).

If you would like a (almost) CC-free version, please message me! I will gladly try to make it look good without CC, if I know that someone wants that! However, you will always need the rabbit hole rugs if you want the rabbit holes! But I could remove all decorative CC and try to decorate with non-cc items.

I had a lot of fun building on this little island. I also learned a lot and I hope to use all the experience I gathered from this first completed project for my next world!

Details:

tiny map (256x256)

contains CC (most of it is included in the download, but not all. Links are provided for the items not included, see below in the “Links to CC…” section.)

no Store content used

road-less

unpopulated

9 finished residential lots

17 community lots

3 dive lots

two empty lots, one community, one residential

contains most rabbit holes. The ferry provides room for additional rabbit hole rugs in case you want to place some that are not included.

Packs used: I have all expansion packs and all stuff packs installed, and have probably used items from almost all of them.

Packs you will definitely need for full functionality: Island Paradise (for the Dive Lots, the Ferry, and the All-in-One Bathrooms), Late Night for the Bars, Supernatural for the Elixir Shop, World Adventures for the Nectar Maker and the Nectar Racks, University Life for the Coffee Bar, and Ambitions for the Salon and Tattoo Studio, Showtime for the Karaoke Machine, on one lot I used the grill from Outdoor Living Stuff.

I used a lot of furniture from the Seasons and the Pets expansions. This is non-functional, but the world will look different if you do not have these expansion.

A word of warning (please read this!):

This world is TINY! But for its size I packed A LOT into it. This means, however, that lots and buildings are on the small to tiny side. So not all game options may be available on all lots.

The Weather-Stone may not spawn due to lack of a suitable location.

There is some kelp visible from map view next to one of the dive lots. I could not find a way to remove it, unfortunately, although I tried everything I could think of. If it bothers you the workaround is this: Go into edit town, select build on the dive lot. Without doing anything leave build mode and leave edit town. Now the kelp should not be visible anymore for this in-game-session. You will have to do it over again the next time you start up your save, though.

The proximity to community lots will mean that you can hear the noise from concerts, movies and sports events or even just music very loudly on some residential lots. I recommend you turn down the volume of music and effects in the game options to around ¼ of the bar. You will still hear the sounds on the residential lots, but not as loudly.

I advise against playing with horses on Simynthos due to the limited space and the lag they can cause. See recommended mods section below for more details.

Snow may look black in some places, mostly on or near the paths due to me having to paint under the walkways I placed. Sa Pineda already came with 8 terrain paints. I decided not to change the terrain paint, as it was very nicely done by the creator, and also snow is probably a rare occurrence on Corfu. If you want to, you can just disable snow/winter in the options.

Highly recommended mods for performance and functionality:

TheSweetSimmer’s Pick Up Toddler Fix: If you want to play with families you will absolutely need this mod! Without it you may not be able to pick up toddlers at all due to the limited space inside some of the houses.

OhRudi’s space saving mods: I recommend all of ohRudi’s space saving mods for this world:

“Fix: Pets need less space”

“Fix: Sims need less space”

“Fix: Guitar needs less space for playing”

“Fix: Bass needs less space for playing”

Nraas Register: Horses will cause lag on Simynthos due to the limited space on the island and the extensive space that horses need for routing (even with ohRudi’s mod), so I recommend disabling horses in the game options and using nraas Register mod to deactivate wild horses completely.

Nraas Debug Enabler: The dive lots on Simynthos have the same problem that all dive lots seem to have: If you want to explore the caves, you will need to reset them first. If you forget your sim will be reset to the beach. Best way to do this is using Nraas “Debug Enabler” mod (click on cave > Nraas > Debug Enabler > Options: Name of Cave > Object > Reset).

Nraas Go Here: I generally recommend Nraas Go Here mods “Teleport for everyone” option, just in case a sim or a pet gets stuck somewhere.

Other recommended mods (optional):

You can have functioning Greek restaurants on Simynthos if you use these two mods together:

icarus_allsorts’s “Eat Outside Restaurants”

Cinderellimouse’s “Cooking and Ingredients Overhaul”

Both mods combined will allow you to set the menu for the diner or bistro rabbit hole to Greek dishes (or any other dishes you prefer) and order these dishes from a waiter on the lot. How cool is that?!

Links to CC that’s not included in the download:

You will need these Jynx rabbit hole rugs (Pets Fix), from this thread on MTS:

Late Night rabbit hole rugs (Pets fix)

Base Game rabbit hole rugs (Pets fix)

You will need the Left and Right versions of this mattress for two sims to sleep in a double bed that is placed against a wall.

I recommend you use @nilxis beautiful “Mediterranian Day” lighting mod.

Credits:

Thanks to @nilxis, the creator of „Sa Pineda“, for the beautiful base to this world. The island on which Simynthos was build is entirely their creation. I did not change the island itself or the terrain painting outside the lots (except for some places where I placed the walkways/paths). All credit for that goes to them! You can find the original version here. Also make sure to check out their other worlds, while you‘ re at it. They are some of my favorite worlds!

Thanks also to @aroundthesims for their amazing CC! If you do not know their website yet, you should definitely check it out! They have a lot of really cool items!

Thanks to @nornities for their extremely helpful CAW guide here. Unfortunately I only found this guide when Simynthos was almost finished. I could have avoided some of the mistakes I made, had I found it sooner!

Some of you may know, that I am not the first to make a Greek version of Sa Pineda. Back in 2016 Vendela created Simtorini. This super cute world has the typical blue and white houses another Greek island, Santorini, is famous for. Go check it out here.

🌈 TS3 ARCHETYPE LEGACY CHALLENGE

to celebrate 100 followers (thank you!!) i’m sharing this 12-generation legacy challenge i created based on the 12 jungian archetypes where each generation represents one of the archetypes. it’s mostly trait-based with some requirements for each generation. feel free to tweak them however you want–these are guidelines, not strict rules, it’s meant to be fun after all! the challenge is completed once the 13th generation is born (or once you’re bored 🤷)

credit: quotes and inspiration taken from this article

the set-up:

start by creating your founder (a YA sim) that represents one of the archetypes described below. for this challenge the order doesn’t matter, choose based on what makes the most sense storytelling-wise or use a number generator for extra randomness

the founder and each heir must all have a primary trait that corresponds to their respective archetype as well as a secondary trait selected from a given list (see archetype rules below). the remaining 3 traits are up to you except for the ones that aren’t allowed for that generation (we’ll call them “conflicting traits”). if a child is born with a conflicting trait they may not become heir unless you replace that trait via alchemy/cheating. to make the trait assignment process easier i highly recommend downloading the mod that enables all traits for all ages

lifetime wishes are up to you

there are no rules for other sims in your household, only for your founder and heirs (but there are some requirements that may involve their spouses/children in some way)

...now for the archetypes!

the 12 archetypes:

1. THE INNOCENT 🐣 “free to be you and me”

primary trait: GOOD

secondary trait (choose at least one): absent-minded, easily impressed, excitable, friendly, loves the outdoors, family-oriented, over-emotional, childish, hopeless romantic

conflicting traits: mean-spirited, snob, evil

may be employed in any career except crime, politics and scam artist branch of fortune telling (no place for pure innocent souls like them)

every time sim wishes to donate to charity, they must fulfill that wish

may only woohoo on 3d date

may not cheat or have multiple romantic interests

may only try for baby with their spouse

if an innocent heir receives an imaginary friend doll as a toddler, it must come alive and they must remain good friends till the end of the run

must pet a unicorn at least once

2. THE EVERYSIM 🤝 “all sims are created equal”

note: most of the time it’s impossible to prevent your sim from becoming at least a 1-star celebrity, so personally i would play an everysim by opting the household out of the celebrity system in the gameplay options menu.

primary trait: FRIENDLY

secondary trait (choose at least one): easily impressed, excitable, frugal, good sense of humor, workaholic, green thumb, handy, schmoozer

conflicting traits: snob, rebellious, avantgarde, star quality, natural born performer, loner

may not be self-employed (freelancing is too lonely for someone who wants to belong)

may be employed in any career except those that are supernatural-related or feature being in the spotlight (showtime careers, singer or band, actor etc.), but they may only reach level 5 of any career track. they may change careers as many times as you wish

must have one “normal” hobby (e.g. gardening, fishing, horse riding etc.)

must fix every appliance on the lot by themselves

must be friends with their neighbor(s) or/and colleagues and invite them over for dinner at least once a week

must always do the suck up to boss interaction for at least 2 hours every work day

may not accept opportunities that increase celebrity points (or any opportunities at all, if you want extra limitations)

may not be friends with sims who have rebel influence (unless colleagues or neighbors)

may not cook ambrosia or use other “magical” ways to control their aging

may not interact with supernatural or magical things (e.g. alchemy, woodoo dolls, bonehilda coffins, imaginary friends, unicorns etc.)

may not become a supernatural

may not socialize with supernaturals, unless they are your colleagues/neighbors OR unless your sim was born a supernatural

if your sim was born a supernatural, there are 2 ways of developing the storyline:

i. find the cure asap and prove that you renounce your past by gaining an enemy among the members of the appropriate occult and winning a fight against them ii. find a community of members of your occult type. group up with at least one fellow supernatural every week, marry and have children only within your occult type (if needed, you can be the one to turn them). however, you can’t be the leader of this community (e.g. the leader of a werewolf pack, the king/queen of the fae etc.)

must only marry or have children with a person from their community: either a colleague, a sim who lives nearby, someone who shares your sim’s traits etc. if your sim was born a supernatural, their spouse must be the same type of occult as your sim

if the sim’s child receives an imaginary friend doll you may not allow them to interact with it unless it’s the heir who was rolled as the innocent (in which case they must befriend the doll)

We Need to Talk About Katy Perry & The Sims

Listen, I think I am throwing myself down some form of rabbit hole when it comes to Katy Perry and the Sims, but this is something that needs to be studied in the history books. The whole Katy Perry franchise stuff in the Sims 3 specifically feels like a fever dream, I really thought my brain had just made it up. I was watching one of those videos about celebrities and their random endorsements and how they just end up doing the most random things, like all those apps inspired by Kim Kardashian: Hollywood all those years ago. Then there was the other rabbit hole on how celebrities will just end up doing the most random things; this was a video posted by Mike's Mic which I'm going to drop below in case you want to see it all. I mean think about it,,, does anyone remember when Ariana Grande had a skin available to buy on Fortnite and when Travis Scott performed in Roblox? A literal fever dream I fear.

But Katy Perry feels like a literal social experiment to me. She went to the other side of the world in order to pump out the Sims 3 franchise with all this content heavily inspired by the California Gurls music video, but for what reason other than to be extra? I still don't know if these packs were anything more than a cash grab, but alas. Let's delve into the history of Katy working with the franchise.

The Sims 3 Showtime, the expansion pack without Katy Perry was released 6 March 2012. The expansion pack featured a brand new town to live in, new jobs that you could go along with your Sim to, and of course a bunch of new objects and outfits. It introduced the concept of being famous in the Sims franchise through being different types of performers where you could earn money through busking, attending people's homes for private performances and ultimately haggling with event managers to ask them if your Sim can perform a set at their venue. Depending on your celebrity status, it can effect if the manager will say yes or no. I know this pack like the back of my hand because I would always make my Sim become a singer and had to deal with every form of rejection for the longest time before I got my Sim up to a 4 star celebrity (and then the laptop with that save file on died so I don't remember what happened after that).

The Katy Perry collectors version of Showtime was released on the same day and included the 'Ultimate Stage' venue to perform at. The collectors edition also came with Katy Perry style objects, hairstyles, costumes and performance props all using the concept art from Katy's second studio album Teenage Dream.

The trailer for the collectors expansion pack is insane by the way because it is literally just an animated version of Katy on the 'Ultimate Stage' as she ironically performs The One That Got Away which shows items from the pack and some other relationships happening. It all feels very glorified and perhaps a little bit icky. However, did I own this collectors edition pack? Of course, and I did love it.

On 5th June 2012, Katy Perry then decided to go further into the lore of The Sims and release Sweet Treats, which wasn't an expansion pack and it wasn't a stuff pack, it was just a pack. The pack featured a bunch of different types of items to the point it never went under a theme as to what type of an expansion pack that really was.

Despite this pack not featuring a town, it did on the other hand feature three new venues which you could add to your Sims town. The first example is The Bonbon Lawn Park which you guessed it, is completely filled to the brim with huge cheugy pieces of candyfloss surrounding the area and gingerbread themed park items for the children to play on.

Next up is Patty's Natural Baths which is also ironically the most natural looking premade lot to use for the town. It is just a public pool which is decorated with a couple of gingerbread home frames to spruce up the area a little bit. I think it's cute, it's not over the top and is more just themed with more pastel colours which I think makes the area look more inviting and exciting.

Lastly, the worst building of them all. The Cake Pleasure Dome which makes me feel sick just from looking at it. The walls and floor covered in sickly colours, giant lollipops placed around the entire lot and a lot that is so spacious, but with so much empty space around it. As if the lot was not used to its full potential, the vision was there, but it gives me nothing but the ick.

The outfits for the pack feel more like they are made for the expansion of Showtime, but were items that simply didn't make the cut maybe because there wasn't enough room on the disc to include it, I'm really not sure. As if that wasn't enough, but you have the choice to completely bulldoze your home and recreate it into a real walk in gingerbread house.

The pack states that there are 28 different types of clothing and hairstyles with only two of these pieces being for male Sims, perhaps this makes sense or it really doesn't. The hairstyles I kind of get, my Sims just wouldn't be slaying in the right way with giant cupcakes in their hair.

I am not kidding one bit when I say that every piece of furniture is also all ice cream, gingerbread, diabetes infused pieces and just an eyesore to the eyes, but when discussed in the context of Teenage Dream then it does start to make sense, a little bit.

Further into the lore of Katy Perry,,,

The literal in game Sim of Katy Perry featured which comes with no personality traits, hot pink hair and was created just for promotional purposes in the game. It feels as though the game simply created an empty skin NPC character which someone could tweak with if they chose to do so. Studying these packs, I feel like I have come up with more questions rather than the answers. Apparently, going deep into the lore, Katy Perry has said that she loves The Sims franchise, and she did record an entire simlish cover of Hot N Cold for The Sims 2, so I do believe her but I do feel like her involvement with The Sims could have simply stopped there.

Actually no I'm lying, she even came back to record Last Friday Night in Simlish for Sims 3 too. You are so welcome.

In terms of The Sims and celebrity lore, while Katy Perry put her whole pussy and more into pushing the franchise, there are actually a ton of other celebrity endorsements and appearances in the game that I really just need to talk about at the end of this post;

The Black Eyed Peas have an ENTIRE storyline in The Urbz: Sims In The City, please don't ask why but they do. In one version of the console game, you gain yourself reputation and have Will.I.Am as your mentor to help you become the coolest person on the street, don't believe me? CallMeKevin has an entire segment about his gameplay on YouTube.

Andy Warhol has an entire NPC which is made in tribute to him in The Sims: Superstar,,,, but as it turns out the expansion pack features many tributes to different celebrities both living and dead.

The pack also featured Marilyn Monroe, Avril Lavigne and Christina Aguilera ??? I'm just as stunned as everyone else here.

Millie Bobby Brown has a Sim which can be downloaded from the gallery in The Sims 4, but she also appeared in the game as the events coordinator for the Positivity Challenge. Her Sim would give your Sim a box of kindness and you could gain more decorative rewards by being nice to your neighbours.

Thanks for coming down this rabbit hole with me, I hope we all learned something new and fun today.

[vandermorganable]

Another thing I dislike about Sims 4 players is that they want occults to be in separate game packs when it’s way more reasonable to have them in expansion packs. For example, in the sims 3, new occults was never not in an expansion pack. Vampires came with Late night AND Supernatural (along with werewolves, witches, and fairies). Mermaids came with Island Paradise. Plantsims in University Life and aliens came with seasons. We also got minors occults from World Adventures (Mummies), Generations (Imaginary Friends), and Showtime (Genies).

And the good part of the Sims 3 occults, there are ways to avoid them completely if you don’t want them in your game by just selecting an option in settings or with nraas mods. In the sims 4, I feel like, if you have worlds that has occults, you are forced to have them in the game because the worlds aren’t closed off like they are in TS3. What I mean by this is that each world is connected and you don’t have to go to the main menu to go to a different world. For example, if you don’t want to play with vampires and/or have them come to your sims’ house in the middle of the night to drink from them, you’ll have to delete all vampire sims from forgotten hollow in order for them to not show. I don’t want to have to do that with every new save. It would be way easier to have a selectable option to remove occults in the options menu, especially for occults you can’t get rid of by simply deleting households.

And I don’t want to continue comparing TS4 and TS3, but, you have to admit, TS3 handled occults better than the TS4, the same with how they handled how much gameplay was in each expansion pack.

A/N: I'm sorry this one took so long asjdfjf I'm awful at keeping any sort of regular schedule- but i'm going to be trying much harder to keep the chapters flowing :') I'd love to hear any thoughts, and thank you all for the support <3 (p.s. Adler will be here v soon- Promise uwu)

"Please stop staring at me."

Bell has no intention of doing so. He's been staring down Lazar from the moment the man stumbled into the kitchen to join him at the table. The sunlight is harsh despite the closed curtains and the coffee fails to stimulate either agent's mind. This certainly isn't Lazar's ideal morning. The silence stretches on, but the uncomfortable feeling of Bell's eyes on him has him sighing loudly.

"Damn, Bell, alright." Lazar gives in. The chair scrapes loudly against the tile floor as he pushes back to stand, disappearing for a moment and returning with a bag. It piques Bell's curiosity; he was too tired to notice it last night.

A folder slaps loudly against the table and slides a few centimeters towards Bell. The Russian, unable to contain himself, surges forward to snatch it. "You're right about your buddy. Definitely a smuggler of sorts."

Bell flips the folder open and begins rooting through the contents. A picture of Kapano Vang is clipped on the inside. The first page has basic information. Name, call sign, date and place of birth. Bell's more interested in the finer details: A few suspected routes, potential cartel members, a list of what they believe is being smuggled. There's a few recurring words that catch his eye. Golden Triangle Cartel is scribbled at the bottom and underlined twice. Beside it, drawn in bold red ink and circled multiple times, Bell reads PERSEUS?

"What did you see yesterday, in those memories of yours?"

Bell gives a small shake of his head. "It was a bar, I think. He was there." He taps the portrait with a finger. "And someone else who knew us but.. I couldn't remember his face," The Russian gives a disappointed click of his tongue. "Or his name."

Lazar tries to offer a reassuring smile. "Hey, don't sweat it. It'll come back to you."

Bell wishes he could share in Lazar's positivity. He really does. But he can't be sure what brought the memories to him in the first place, or why they were so fragmented. After spending much of the night agonizing over any additional detail he might remember about Perseus or Kapano Vang or anyone else he had seen at that bar and coming up short, Bell's hope started to slip. In the end he could only point fingers at Adler and his MK-Ultra project. "So what's next?"

Lazar doesn't answer right away. He looks thoughtful. Even with their revelation on Kapano Vang and his cartel, they are nowhere closer to finding Perseus than they were before. They are back to square one.

"Well, I could try cross-referencing with MI6 again-" he means Park, Bell thinks with a snort "-and see if they have anything new."

Lazar's looking at him intently and Bell realizes he's waiting for a response. "Oh, uh. Yeah." Bell shifts awkwardly in his seat. "Whatever you say."

A week later, the two man team have no progress to show for their efforts. In that time, Bell's gone over the files at least a dozen and a half times and nothing's changed, nor have any new memories resurfaced. Lazar's cross-referencing has yet to unearth anything new either, telling Bell MI6 is just in the dark as they are.

"This isn't working, Laz." Bell slams the paper back against the kitchen table. His irritation is reflected in the other man's face but Lazar does a better job at hiding it. "We just have to keep looking," Lazar sighs. "We have the answer here somewhere."

Bell clicks his tongue in disapproval. "I've been over these files again and again. There's nothing here. We're not going to find Perseus on some piece of paper-" An idea strikes Bell. Something he never considered before now.

"Bell?" Lazar frowns. "You alright?"

"What if we look for that bar?" Excitement shines in Bell's eyes. Lazar's startled by his suggestion.

"I don't know-"

"C'mon, Laz, think about it. There was more than one Perseus agent there, in my memory." A plan was beginning to hatch in Bell's mind. From the way he's looking at him, Lazar doesn't like where he's going with it. "If we find that bar, maybe we can find one of those agents. Maybe even match some of these faces." He looks down at the file of unconfirmed but suspected Perseus soldiers.

"I don't know about this," Lazar repeats slowly, uncertainly. "If someone recognizes us it could cause some trouble. Especially if they recognize you. You helped stop Perseus the first time. No doubt his people are painfully aware of that."

Bell doesn't want to hear it, though. "It's just a risk we'll have to take," he argues. "I'm a spy, Laz. I know how to keep my head down."

After a bit of back and forth it's settled. First, they'll compile a list of bars in areas known or suspected to be frequented by Perseus. Then, while in constant contact, as Lazar insists, Bell will make his way through each alone and hope nobody recognizes him while he searches for the bar from his memory.

It takes two days to assemble a full list and another day and a half to narrow it down and map a route.

"I'm still not happy about this," Lazar grunts as he drops a duffel bag onto the table. Bell eagerly snatches it and begins shuffling inside. "You worry too much, old man."

The first thing Bell pulls from the bag is a change of clothes. They both agreed he needs something casual. And clean. It would make blending in with the crowd much easier. Too excited about the upcoming mission has Bell stripping where he stands. No time for modesty.

"C'mon, Bell, in the kitchen?" Lazar turns with a light pink tinting his face. Bell grins wide but doesn’t reply. The new outfit fits comfortably. He returns to the bag and roots around for his next prize. There’s a knife with a sheath and a small handgun waiting at the bottom. The knife is removed first. Bell carefully slides it free of its sheath. The blade is unusually slim and dark in color, and sports a dangerously sharp tip with partial serration of both sides near the hilt. Bell’s entirely absorbed in admiring the blade, so much so that he misses Lazar’s amused look until he speaks up.

“I thought you’d like that one.”

Bell returns the smile. “Oh, hell yeah. It reminds me of the one I had in-”

“Hey, Sims! You know reading that shit’s gonna make you go blind.”

“Yep! That’s why I want it alll up here.” Sims shot Adler a lazy grin. The commander slapped the book back against Sims’ chest.

“Bell, you’re with Sims. You usually bring out the best in each other.”

“RPGS! BRACE! BRACE!”

Bell watched in horror as a rocket collided with the chopper beside theirs. It careened dangerously before smashing into theirs, sending their own bird into a death spiral.

Everything was in chaos.

“Grab my hand! I gotcha! I got-!”

“We’ve lost power-!”

“We’re going down-!”

“BRACE!”

Bell blinks hard and his smile falls. There’s a knowing look on Lazar’s face and neither agent speaks a word about it. “C’mon,” Lazar gives a pat to Bell’s shoulder. “Showtime.”

The pair ride in silence. Lazar’s behind the wheel, giving Bell some time to think. He tries to keep the mission center focus, but the memories of Vietnam are overwhelming, fresh in his mind as if they just happened. And they’re not even real. I was never in Vietnam.

The car rolls to a stop and breaks Bell from his thoughts. “Alright, remember, coms on at all times.” Bell rolls his eyes and pops the door, deftly sliding from his seat. “I mean it, Bell!” But he slams the door without reply, turning towards the street. The small earpiece is already safely pressed into his ear and hidden behind his hair.

The checkered brick sidewalks stretch wide on either side of the street. There’s a decent amount of people strolling to and fro, some carrying briefcases and dressed in neatly pressed suits, others in casual attire with seemingly no important place to be. Lazar pulls off, leaving Bell to head for the first destination on his list.

The first thing Bell notices as he pushes into the first bar is the pungent mingling of smoke, alcohol, and sweat in the air. The floor beneath his boots is a glossy hardwood and matches the light oaken walls. The occupants chatter noisily, and although the sound is familiar, the atmosphere is not. This is not the right place. Keeping his appearance as casual as possible, Bell slips through the crowd and retreats out the back door. He glances around to confirm he’s alone before mumbling his findings to Lazar.

One down, seven more to go.

The second bar Bell stumbles into is smaller. There are less individuals milling around and the golden walls are all wrong from the dark cedar panels from his memory. The third bar is even less promising, while the fourth and fifth are so far from Bell’s memory that he’s positive he’s working backwards now.

Bell rejoins the thinning herd on the streets with a dejected sigh. This wasn’t working out. There’s two more bars to check and already it was getting dark. He’d hope for something; A clue, a new memory, a familiar face. Lazar keeps up with words of encouragement but Bell doesn’t have the capacity to share the optimism.

The sixth bar Bell checks holds a notable hushed atmosphere. Right away he’s stricken by the dark atmosphere. It felt.. Tense. Insidious. It doesn’t feel right, but for an entirely different reason. While most of the denizens ignore Bell, a few side-eye him dangerously. He steps to the counter and orders a drink, primarily to alleviate any suspicions from both inside and out.

Bell can’t shake the feeling of eyes boring into his back. It’s somehow different from when he first walked in and was certainly making him more uncomfortable. He shifts in his seat and tries his best to nonchalantly turn and find who the hell was staring at him so hard, but when he looks, he finds nothing out of the ordinary.

The feeling of unease doesn’t leave. He grows antsy and finally after paying with money given to him by Lazar, Bell downs the last of his drink and turns back into the streets. This is certainly not going the way Bell had hoped. The seventh bar is quite the walk from the sixth, allowing him some time to breathe and collect his thoughts.

The feeling of unease melts from Bell’s shoulders the longer he walks. Lazar’s quiet so he turns his attention outward and listens curiously to the broken chatter of the dwindling civilians.

“-think he talks about anything else?”

“Well, it’s not like-”

“Timur?”

“That’s not.. Point.. Why else-”

“Timur!”

“I just think you should consider-”

A hand lands heavily on Bell’s shoulder, stopping him in his tracks. He turns in surprise.

“Timur!” A man stands before Bell with a lazy smirk and a gleam to his eyes- as if he recognizes him. His dark hair is cropped close to his head and a pair of lightly tinted shades adorns his face. The accent is certainly not Russian, and it throws Bell off guard. “Hey! Remember me?”

Plumbobble Head’s Sims 3 LEPacy Challenge!

So I’ve had the Sims 3 for over a decade now, and in that time I’ve only really played with the Elgars... UNTIL NOW. 

While I love my Elgars, there are so many aspects of the game I’ve never even touched, so I’m starting a new LEPacy challenge with specific gameplay goals for each pack! There are eleven EPs in total, which makes for twelve (!!) fun-filled generations! 🥳

🏠 One: Base Game

In the beginning there was a Sim... Her name was Isadora Plumb and she had just moved out on her own to Sunset Valley! Isadora’s lifetime wish is to befriend the whole town and become Super Popular. Her spouse must be an EA townie, and they must have a base game lifetime wish that I’ve never played. To earn a living she’ll join the Journalism career (one I’ve never tried!) and max the writing skill. I’ve also never played with a mooch or a kleptomaniac so Isadora is both!

✈️ Two: World Adventures

For generation two the family will move to Riverview, a world I’ve already played in, but we won’t be spending much time there because this generation is all about adventure! The heir will have the adventurous trait and either the Great Explorer or Seasoned Traveler lifetime wish. They must reach a high enough visa level to purchase a vacation home in one or more of the three worlds. The heir must have at least two children with a foreign sim (or sims!).  They must also max the martial arts and photography skills.

🛠️ Three: Ambitions

The Ambitions gen is so *ambitious* it’s played with two co-heirs! They both move to a shared property in Twinbrook, where they will get matching tattoos to celebrate their new-found independence. Heir A will have the ambitious and eco-friendly traits and their lifetime wish will correspond with one of the Ambitions professions that I’ve not yet played through. Heir B will have the eccentric trait and Descendant of da Vinci ltw. They will register as self-employed in one of the skill careers and can earn a secondary income by selling things at the consignment store. This heir can only have children via the time machine (but a child of either of the gen three co-heirs can become heir for generation four).

🌆 Four: Late Night

After three generations stuck in the suburbs, this generation takes place under the bright lights of Bridgeport! The generation four heir is blessed with the star quality trait and wants to pursue fame and fortune in the big city. They can choose any of the EP’s lifetime wishes, but must reach level 5 celebrity status. They will live in a penthouse apartment and hire a butler to see to their every need. But life in the public eye means the heir is always at risk of becoming publicly disgraced... especially because they will have multiple romances! Someone in the family must also be a vampire (although it doesn’t have to be the heir).

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Five: Generations*

After growing up in the big city this generation’s heir wants a quieter life in Aurora Skies with the large, loving family they never had. The heir must have the family oriented and/or nurturing traits and the Surrounded by Family ltw. As per their lifetime wish, they must have at least five children... but will they be a strict or indulgent parent? At least one of their children will have their imaginary friend become real, and at least one of their children must attend boarding school.

*(EP does not come with new lifetime wishes or a new world)

🐾 Six: Pets

For generation six we’re off to Appaloosa Plains to live off the land! The heir - whether they be male, female or otherwise inclined - is unfortunately a horse girl. They must have the equestrian trait and Jockey ltw and must also max the riding skill. They and their spouse must not pursue traditional careers, but can support themselves by “farming”. This means gardening and possibly nectar making, but there’s some Store content that could work well here too. Every good farm has a cat and dog, which can be trained in hunting to sniff out collectibles for extra income!

🎤 Seven: Showtime

This generation’s heir grew up in the country but dreams of stardom in Starlight Shores! They have the natural born performer trait and their lifetime wish is to reach the top of one of the acrobat, magician, or singer professions. Like their great-grandparent, the heir must become a level 5 celebrity. But in spite of their fame the heir feels that something is still missing in their lives. Perhaps a genie will be able to make all their wishes come true...

🧙 Eight: Supernatural

Childhood memories of magical genie wishes have inspired the heir to move to Moonlight Falls in search of the supernatural! They must have the supernatural fan trait and become an occult sim (by whatever means necessary). Their spouse must also be an occult, but a different type to the heir. The heir must max the alchemy skill, but can choose any of the EP’s lifetime wishes. They will be so busy with their extraordinary magical life that there is no time for mundane things like housework... luckily Bonehilda is on hand to sort it out!

🍂 Nine: Seasons

This EP doesn’t come with any new lifetime wishes or a new world and doesn’t add a substantial amount of new gameplay (unlike generations). I’m not sure how I want to use it, or if I will skip it/combine it with another EP. For now I’m leaving it in as a wild card.

🎓 Ten: University Life

Gen ten is all about the pursuit of knowledge! The heir must attend university and can choose to study any of the majors I’ve never played. They can also choose ay of the EP’s lifetime wishes. The heir must gain the two extra trait slots by completing their degree and reaching max influence with at least one social group. They must also max the social networking skill. After returning from university the heir will make their home in Lucky Palms and pursue a career related to their chosen degree or social group. Because I’ve already played with plantsims, I might choose to add an alien to the family instead. 

🏝️ Eleven: Island Paradise

The generation eleven heir loves to swim and will move to Isla Paradiso to live right on the water - literally - because they own a houseboat. They can choose any of the EP’s lifetime wishes but must also own a resort.  Profits from their resort empire will support them while they explore the island and max the scuba diving skill. There are rumours of mermaids in the island’s waters... will the heir be lucky enough to befriend one?

🚀 Twelve: Into the Future

The oceans are rising and the island is no longer paradise! The heir knows that the advanced technology is the key to the future... but will the future be utopian or dystopian? They will have the bot fan trait and must max the advanced technology and bot building skills. They can choose any of the EP’s lifetime wishes. I don’t where we’ll end up at the end of the challenge... possibly on Lunar Lakes!

That’s the plan anyway! I might not stick to it exactly, but I’m excited to play every generation/EP which is kind of the point of a lepacy challenge after all!

Feel free to use/adapt for your own purposes!

Hello! I’m Alex! IDC what pronouns but I am used to she/her! I have had this account for a while and I want to start posting! Not that anyone will care.

You may want to know that while English is the only language I speak, I am absoluty horrible at it. I will probably misspell/misuse words a lot. I am sorry. Also, if you want anything recolored for TS4, feel free to ask! I have the noodles sorbet actions but if you want to send me others and request those/any specific colors I can attempt it for you! Also sorry this is so long, I got carried away and wanted to put stuff I always like reading about you guys! My anxiety is also a HUGE problem. If you would like to talk to me, messaging is the best bet!

Socially Awkward - Socially Awkward Sims try to fit in, but sometimes say the wrong thing at the wrong time. It's not easy being Socially Awkward, but it sure is awkward!

Brooding -  Brooding Sims often can't help themselves from contemplating the riddles, mystery, and meaning of life. Sometimes the weight of these incredibly deep thoughts can become a distraction, and can actually slow down the creative process slightly.

Coward -  Cowards are terrified of everything that can and will go bump in the night. They are scared of the dark and will frequently faint in 'dire' situations.

Absent-minded - Absent-Minded Sims get lost in their thoughts and occasionally forget what they are doing, or where they are going.

Halloween Hideaway (No CC)

by pancake101

Hidden away from the realm of our world, surrounded by a dark and eerie ocean, and sat beneath an ominous purple sky, is a mysterious little town known only to the supernatural and those looking for a good scary time! Here, frightening fun lurks around every corner along with a healthy dose of spine-tingling scares! Welcome to Halloween Hideaway! I was inspired to build this Halloween world after doing my Lemax and Department 56 Halloween builds last year. I wanted to create a place where they could all come together with other spooky builds I've done in the past and create a world that is all year Halloween! WORLD DETAILS: Map Size: 512x512- Small Spawners: Fish, Nanite, Seed, Insect, Gem, and Junkyard Layers: There are 5 layers including the Global layer Terrain Textures: There are 8 terrain textures used, but none that exceed 8 per chunk Routing: Sims can route anywhere except steep hillsides and areas with excessive foliage or object details such as rocks. Non-Camera routing was also not applied to this world. Number of Residential Lots: 13 (10 built, 3 vacant) Number of Community Lots: 26 (21 regular, 5 Rabbitholes) A few things to note about Halloween Hideaway: - This is a ROADLESS world, so there are no vehicles of any kind, nor can vehicles be used. This means no cars, scooters, bicycles, broomsticks, taxis, trucks, limos, buses,and carpools. Some services that require vehicles such as maids, repairmen, pizza delivery etc. will not be available as well. There is an "invisible sidewalk" system in place that keeps your Sims on the designated pathways around town. Or if you prefer, there are LLAMA teleporters sprinkled around to make transportation easier. I would suggest downloading this mod that reduces the risks of using teleporters: http://www.modthesims.info/d/501781...-3-flavors.html - This world has customized weather and lighting files. If you have any global lighting mods in your game I would suggest taking them out so they do not interfere with the custom lighting. Daytime and Nightime lighting are essentially the same to give the feel of an eternal Halloween night. Weather is still routine however! - The plants in the greenhouse at Oleanders will go dormant in the winter as the roof is open. Also, any pumpkins set out around the town are debug items and will expire in about three days. Feel free to replace them with proper decorative pumpkins! - The Dollhouse is perfectly livable, but is not seasons-proof due to the open back. This can easily be managed with controlled weather, but rain and snow will pile up inside if you choose to leave them on. Your Sim may also get privacy notices due to the open bathroom. - There are a few buildings that utilize the Supernatural sliding bookcase doors. However, they will not work upon your first use and you will have to manually delete and replace them or click them and 'reset' them to make them work.

Animal Care Career for Sims 4 (3 Branches)

Download HERE

Check out my Patreon HERE

You need the Cats and Dogs expansion

Do you love animals of any kind? Then this career is the one for you. Whether the critters in question run, swim or fly you'll be taking care of them and educating the public along the way.

Level 1 - Bird Watcher

The best way to learn about animals is to watch them in their natural habitat. So get some binoculars and a thermos of coffee, because you'll be out early in the morning come sunshine or rain.

Level 2 - Kennel Cleaner

That's right you're scooping poop, it's not enjoyable work but someone has to do it. At least you get to see all those cute animals every day so it's worth it...Right?

Level 3 - Dog Walker

Well, now you get to be out in the fresh air getting some exercise with your favourite furry friends...Although you'll still have to clean up poop occasionally when the dog does their business in a public park.

Level 4 - Pet Shop Employee

So you're working in retail now... Which is better than picking up poop...Marginally.  At least you're rewarded with the smiles on sim's faces when they find their forever friend, even if you don't understand the appeal of a voidcritter as a pet.

3 Branches: Exotic Animal Specialist, Pet Specialist and Equine Specialist

Exotic Animal Specialist:

Level 5 - Zoo Keeper

And you're back to scooping poop, boo! But it's elephant and lion poop instead of dog poop so... Yay? Be sure not to confuse the penguin and polar bear exhibits, and please don't forget to shut the gate behind you.

Level 6 -  Circus Trainer

I hope you're not afraid of clowns because you're off to join the circus! Make sure those lions can jump through the hoops and stock up on peanuts for the elephants.

Level 7 - Safari Tour Guide

Time to get up close and personal with wild animals, and there are no fences this time. And on top of that you're educating other sims on these majestic beasts, so make sure you can tell the difference between a Bengal and a Siberian tiger.

Level 8 - Dino Researcher

So it turns out some billionaire called Roger Hamster has a plan to bring dinosaurs back to life! Something to do with mosquitoes and amber? It doesn't matter, he's offered you a generous salary to come work in his labs. It probably won't work but it should be interesting at least.

Level 9 - Raptor Trainer

Well, it actually worked, who would have thought it? But there's a problem...The three raptors who just hatched imprinted on you so now you're moving out of the lab to train and take care of them. Now Roger wants to turn the island into a theme park, what could go wrong?

Level 10 - Park Administrator

The good news is Roger's plan worked, and the park is open for business. The bad news is that there was...An incident on the day of the opening...Involving Roger and a T-rex. But wait, good news again, you were the only candidate who wanted to take his place, so now you're the boss...Congratulations?

Pet Specialist

Level 5 - Groomer

It's time to brush those knots and trim those nails, make those coats shimmer and shine. Just watch out, not all pets enjoy their time at the vet, so keep some treats on hand for when Mr Fluffles gets grumpy.

Level 6 - Pet Trainer

"Sit" "Roll Over" "Paw" These are all commands that you'll become very familiar with. Have patience because even the most difficult of students will get there eventually.

Level 7 - Pet Show Judge

Who has the shiniest coat? The cleanest teeth? The best walk? These are all question's you'll need to consider as you decide who deserves that coveted trophy. And watch out because some of the competitors may not like your decision.

Level 8 - Professional Breeder

Puppies, kittens and chicks oh my. You'll be surrounded by the cutest of animal babies, try not to get too distracted by playing with them. And try not to get too attached because unfortunately, all these cuties have to go to new homes eventually.

Level 9 - Veterinary Student

It's time to hit the books and brush up on the difference between Swamp Mouth and Lava Nose. You'll also be shadowing a fully qualified vet so be sure to pay attention, they may well have some words of wisdom for you.

Level 10 - Veterinarian

All your hard work finally paid off, you're now a fully qualified Veterinarian, congratulations! But don't put your feet up just yet, there's still a lot of hard work ahead of you. So put on your rubber gloves and get your thermometer it's time to diagnose and treat those cuddly critters.

Equine Specialist

Level 5 - Stable Cleaner

Mucking out stables is your primary task, but you also have to groom and tack up the horses ready for lessons. It'll be hard work but on the plus side, you get free riding lessons.

Level 6 - Riding Instructor

The student has now become the teacher, it's time to pass your skills on to others. Get ready to brush them off and patch them up if they fall off. But remember the number one rule is to get back on the saddle after you fall off.

Level 7 - Groom

You've been hired as the groom for a competitive showjumper, Poppy Fundell. This job is a lot more complicated than it sounds, you're not only responsible for grooming the horses to make them look perfect for showtime, but you're also responsible for making sure the rider has everything they need and running any errands that they need doing.

Level 8 - Excerciser

Title Description Your employer now trusts you enough to exercise their horses, that means riding or lunging them every day before competitions to keep them fit and sometimes warm the horse up before competitions. It's a big responsibility so make sure they don't regret it.

Level 9 - Professional Showjumper

You've learned a lot from your time with Poppy, she was selling one of her horses and you leapt at the chance to start your own showjumping career. Who knows maybe you'll end up competing head to head with Poppy herself.

Level 10 - Olympic Showjumper

A huge congratulations to you, you've been picked to join the Olympic showjumping team! Now's the time to work hard and go for the gold.

A Message to EA Sincerely a Black Simmer <>

Dear EA, 

Thanks for inventing the franchise but honestly your efforts of keeping us as Simmers happy is RARE!!! Sims is suppose to be a simulation of life...Sims 4 has been out since 2014 and your giving us these phoney stuff packs which should have already been included in the game. Whats so hard about giving us Seasons, University, Night Life, Showtime , realistic animations. Instead you come out with Vampires? a damn Jungle? and sims could go camping before their infants turned into toddlers! We could make blue sims before it took y'all 3 years later to realize you barely had any ethnic complexions in the game. Like really and then this new expansion pack My Pet Stuff....what the hell is that? You mean to tell me you couldn't put a hamster in the Cats and Dogs pack? But instead you charge us for a maxis hamster that we are gonna mod anyways??Why didn't you just make it Sims 4 pets with a better options of animals like Sims 3 I'm confused, then this laundry day bullshit included the sims community in on naming the pack and then charge us $10 for a washer and dryer😂 instead of making it an update? Now don't get me wrong I don't have a problem with paying for content but only if its worth it. EVERY PACK YOUVE MADE WASNT WORTH IT! I rather buy a CC made Gucci bag for my sims and not have a problem paying $10, at least Im paying for QUALITY🤷🏽‍♀️ they are the original creators and its because of them that YOUR game is still being played. Your expansion packs suck,💁🏽‍♀️ the stuff packs are terrible🙅🏽‍♀️ like what was the difference between backyard stuff and patio stuff🧐Oh was it because one had a damn hottub and the other had a water slide?! Its 4 years later and you still can't give us simple packs that we are asking for. At this point keep all your bullshit stuff packs if they aren't the realistic ones or the ones that I listed above thanks😊 Better yet hand the rights over to the Simmer Community and the CCGODSs and we will take it from here😄   

[madebycoffee]

Top 5 most wanted packs from the sims 4?

HOO BOY. This is a tough one. In general I want things that haven’t been in past games but here’s what I’ve got off the top of my head:

1. Playground Stuff Pack: Yes i know we have swings with seasons BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN THAT EA CAN’T ADD THEM TO ANOTHER PACK. Sims 3 used to do that all the time. In it I would want, swings, slides, baby swings (which you could put toddlers in), seesaws, merry go rounds!, TIRE SWINGS, EVEN MORE SWINGS. Like yes I am happy that we FINALLY have swings. But like all of the sims 4 community I am never satisfied.

2. Entertainer Expansion Pack: So I don’t necessarily mean a carbon copy of Late Night for sims 3 or Showtime. I think some beautiful marriage of the two. Like, Rockstars and Celebrities sure- But maybe make comedians better. Like the gardening skill got a huge glo up with seasons and I like the idea of doing that to other skills. But like some way for sims to like go to concerts, shows, maybe include like opera singing, MUSICAL THEATRE, ballet in this. That’d be really cool. Have sims be able to be a writer of a show or a performer. Make movies. that sorta deal. and this would HAVE to be an expansion.

3. POOL STUFF PACK/ UPDATE: A lot of things I don’t necessarily think need to be a full pack. this is one of those. BUT if it were a stuff pack then we could have floaties, water slides, a water sport!!!???!!! volleyball!?!?!?!?! (some sports in general would be nice). Diving boards, (ye we have them in GT but again GIVE US STUFF IN MULTIPLE PACKS GDI) I want some good pool shit man. I really do. Like have the ability for sims to play marco polo in the pool. To INTERACT MORE IN POOLS. Just. Come on. Pools could be so much better.

4. Carnival Game Pack: OH MAN DO I WANT SOMETHING LIKE THIS. Along the lines of outdoor retreat/jungle adventures. it’s a game pack with a vacation world, but it’s similar to like the california coast. You have a pier with amusement park rides!!!!! some carnival games!!! attractions!!!! food!!!! AND in it would be things that all ages can use. Like toddlers can play on mini carnival swings, kids can do bumper cars, teens can go on rollercoasters, adults can do whatever. Just. I feel like there are a lot of possibilities with this. Overall idea is a vacation world that could work for toddlers and kids. I think that you could take it one step further into an expansion pack and make it like disneyworld or something. Because I went on so many vacations when i was younger and I want my sims to be able to as well.

-

and honestly i can’t think of a fifth one. maybe what i voted for in the community poll, off grid living? I don’t really want supernatural or university. I have sims 3 if I need a fix of that I can just play sims 3. I felt the same way about seasons and cats and dogs. (Granted Seasons is an absolute joy to play for real.) But ye. I want NEW THINGS!!!! It annoys me to buy a repeat pack from sims 3 in the sims 4.

Tressia BACC: Round 7, Clainy

Yep, after a few week of hiatus - which I spent out of town, building, making townies, building, panicking over current events, and building - the Tressia BACC is back!

And let’s meet the first of our newest citizen: Rhince Clainy!

As you might guess from the pic ... he’s not the most serious of Sims. A Pleasure Sim and an Aquarius, he has a personality of 2/5/4/8/6. He’s also got a secondary aspiration of Family. (He’s the first Sim in my hood to get a secondary aspiration.) As for his LTW, it’s a new custom one I’ve made up - Become Master Toymaker. In order to achieve it, he has to get a Gold toymaking badge and found a Level-10 toy shop. (I actually created a list of custom LTWs I’d be happy to post if anyone is interested.)

(Is him being a toymaker at all related to the great toy defaults @cindysimblr made for my SS gift? Maaaaybe ...)

Anyway, as for the rest, Rhince is attracted to ladies, and prefers they be charismatic and wear makeup. Formalwear doesn’t do it for him, though. He’s also a Jacoban.

“Wait! That’s not fair!”

Huh? What’s not fair?

“Me being a Jacoban! I can’t pull pranks, and as a Pleasure Sim, those are like, half my wants!”

... Sorry?

Anyway! Let’s have a look at Rhince’s humble abode. (I call it his humble abode because it’s just one apartment out of six.) It’s the Medieval Merchant’s Village from MTS if you’d like to have it in your own game. I made a few slight adjustments, but nothing major.

Rhince lives in the building in the back left corner, on the top floor.

And here’s his living area.

Same living area, opposite angle.

Bedroom.

Now that that’s all set, let’s sell some toys!

Fittingly enough, Johancy Birgil is the first one here. I say “fittingly” because Johancy’s wife, Nelarie, has the Marry Off Six Kids LTW.

“I have a feeling I’m going to be spending a lot of time here over the next twenty years.”

Don’t be silly, Johancy.

“Eh?”

This is just Rhince’s market stall. Once he gets this to Level 10, he’ll sell it and buy a real shop. You’ll be spending lots of time there over the next twenty-plus years.

Naturally the reporter shows up practically first thing - as does a new townie! I made *gulp* 24 of them to start the round off. (10 adults, 8 teens, and 6 kids.) The new townie is the one with black hair, named Gillon Rheane.

And here’s one of the new teens, Tania Estar! Rhince will not be setting his gender preferences with her, because no, just no.

Best of the best award!

“But ... I have no badges and no idea what I’m doing!”

Shhh, I don’t think the reporter knows that.

Another lovely lady that Rhince will not be setting his gender preferences with! This is Kaytris Etinger, another playable. Since she’s a Romancer and Rhince is a Pleasure Sim, I’m sure the chemistry would be off the charts ... which, since they both live in the same building and I have no plans for them to get married to each other, would just lead to problems.

Best not to open up that can of worms.

Melaflynn and Everin show up long enough to become bestest friends.

And before Rhince closes up the shop for the day, having gotten to Level 3, he unlocks the Silver Sales badge and the Hard Sell. Thank you, fall skilling bonus!

After work, Rhince heads off to the fairgrounds to get himself a cell phone and scout out the ladies.

“I am a Pleasure Sim. With a Family secondary.”

Yep.

And whom should he meet but Carlyn Adais, another new townie lady!

It doesn’t take long before Rhince is sending a wolf whistle her way, and Carlyn is quite receptive to the idea.

Two bolts, not bad!

For S’s & G’s I have Rhince ask after her job, too. Turns out she’s a High Constable (i.e. the top of the Military track. As a townie). Don’t tell Shola; she’ll be so jealous she won’t be able to see straight!

I have Rhince spend some time with the axe-throwing station so he can get fit ... but he’s not very good at it ...

And it’s not long before he’s interrupted.

“New in town, friend?”

“Uh, yeah ... what tipped you off?”

“Just your air, my friend, just your air. But let me give you a warning ...”

“There are some shady characters around this place, my friend. You’d best stick with me. I’ll show you the ropes and make sure you don’t fall prey to the wrong sort of people.”

“Um ... could you let go of me?”

And that is the story of how Rhince was in town for less than a day before he got robbed. (This is also Unsavory Charlatan Attack #4; 2 more and we’ll open yet another Law Enforcement slot!)

But even if Rhince loses his wallet, at least he gains some muscles before he goes!

“That’ll show that weird monocle man to mess with me!”

... Dude, you still only have one body skill point. You may be ripped but you’re still not exactly fit for trash talking.

“Well, darn.”

Back home, I have Rhince spend the rest of the day getting to know the neighbors and building his skills. Somehow this building is classed as a High class lot, which means I now have a bunch of Socialites and Techies in the hood.

This should be interesting.

I also take a peek in Rhince’s relationship panel to see how he fares, chemistry-wise, with the ladies he met today, and I notice something interesting. Since becoming fit, he’s now up to three bolts with Carlyn.

Interesting indeed.

But enough of that! Onto day 2!

Elice isn’t buying what Rhince is selling. Color me unsurprised. They have negative chemistry. Again ... unsurprised.

Rhince also meets another of the new playables, Barran Kierconin. Poor Barran must be desperate for human interaction, because every time I turn around he’s calling Rhince up to chat.

Rhine unlocks Dazzle, and Mercan is game enough to let him practice on him.

“Hey, I remember what it was like, being fresh out of the bin, no skills or prospects to speak of ... of course I’ll him try out his new skills on me.”

You are a good man, Mercan.

Rhince just raked that. *grumble grumble stupid Sims grumble grumble*

Barran and Elice do not get along. I’m used to Elice not liking people, but Barran went right up to her and started poking and all kinds of nonsense! Not sure what his problem is ...

Rhince makes the acquaintance of Istera Oskel. She’s a Romancer, so I have high hopes for chemistry between these two ... but they don’t have anything. No chemistry at all. Interesting.

In other news, we get the shop up to Level 4, close up, start restocking, and then ...

“Um, Mr. Evil Wizard? We’re closed. You can come back in the morning if you like.”

“Nope!”

“I’ll mess up your day right here and now.”

*sigh* Well, look at the bright side, Rhince - at least you don’t have to worry about roaches and lightning while there are customers on the lot.

“THAT’S the bright side???”

Once home, he spends a few hours making pet bricks ...

And then invites Carlyn over to Merrie Mellie’s for a date!

(Ignore the black pond water. I just put in the new water mod and have to update my business lots as I play through the round.)

Laughing together, that’s always a good sign for a first date!

It’s not too long before Rhince is trying to charm the lovely lady.

Double crush!

First kiss. D’awww.

Rhince is quite smooth. It’s not long before he’s making Carlyn’s foot pop.

Things just get hotter and heavier from there. The date ends up as a dream date, and I for one am not surprised by that in the least.

Let’s move onto day 3, shall we?

Not much of interest happens at the stall. But we do see the last new playable of the round - Shepherdess Alayne Jacoban. I’m playing her next, so you’ll learn all about her before long.

Other than that, Rhince gets himself a Bronze cash register badge (woot!), gets the business up to Level 5 (yay!) and takes all the cash perks (kaching!).

Before long, it’s time for another date with Carlyn. (Is the ocean water supposed to look like that with the new water mod in?)

It does not take long at all for this to happen: two Sims simultaneously in love. With three bolts.

I’m calling it True Love, which can only mean one thing ...

“So, um, Carlyn, crazy question ... do you believe in true love?”

“That depends. In what context?”

“The context in which you might marry me?”

*squealing commences*

“Um - is that a yes or a no?”

“OF COURSE IT’S A YES!”

Congratulations, Rhince and Carlyn! We have ourselves an engagement and another dream date.

Carlyn is so excited, she even brings Rhince a completely anachronistic gift over.

*kaching*

To day 4!

Now the last day of the round, coincidentally or not, is Sunday. And since Rhince needs to go to church anyway, I figure I might as well kill two birds with one stone.

A very good expression for one’s wedding day!

But soon it’s showtime. As Rhince and Carlyn make their way up the aisle, Shepherdess Alayne rocks out ... badly.

“Is there something else I should be doing?”

... Let’s just go with no.

The happy couple begins to say their vows ...

And the lot is blessed by a passing wizard. Maurice, I thought you were a Peteran?

“When it comes to helping out young lovers, I’m nondenominational.”

Awwww.

*sniffle* “I love weddings!”

(That’s Nelarie in the audience, by the way. I didn’t recognize her in her formal outfit myself.)

And once the two lovebirds get home--

“Er, can we have some privacy here, please?”

What? Oh! Oh, right, of course.

Anyway! That’s a wrap for the Clainy household. Most of what happened next was skilling, and Carlyn getting sick from poisoned mushrooms, but I can’t really show that because I didn’t get a pic.

That’s it for me for tonight. Thanks for reading, and happy Simming!

The Hart Murder Mystery Bachelor Challenge

Okay, okay. I can’t resist the call of an MMBC. I’m having withdraws from Francis, and to be quite frank, after doing some in-character stuff, I don’t know where to go. While I have many saves that need attention, I want to do another MMBC. Sue me.

Our Bachelor

Dean Hart loves the cold, and is quite the chef. Like Australia, he is quite athletic and ambitious by nature. However, like Troye Francis, he can be childish too.

The Dos and Don’ts of this MMBC:

Any gender can apply, but Dean here has a preference for male/male presenting people. Make sure to include a pronouns set with your sim!

Vanillas, Berries, and Occults can apply!

We are only barring ghosts (and genies. See the sixth bullet for info). That wouldn’t be a fair MMBC otherwise.

Do not use the Unlucky/Loser traits (this is an MMBC), or the I*ane/Unconventional trait (y’all know why).

For this challenge, I will not have WA or IP active. The only SPs active will be HELS and MSS.

PETS is a possibility, if I do decide to leave this in Appaloosa. Showtime may be active, because I’m inspired by Collins MMBC for karaoke. Otherwise, assume they won’t be active.

CC can be used! Just please don’t go overboard. My computer and myself thank you for that.

No sliders, if you will.

No .sims3packs please for the sims. Avoid it if you can with CC too, but if you can’t, no worries.

Store content is iffy, but if you have some way of providing it, that’s cool. Ask for what I have!

We do not have to be mutuals for you to apply!

If you were in Francis MMBC, you can still join!

The most important: Being okay with your sim dying. This is a murder mystery challenge after all.

Our Contestants:

Dean will be accepting 12 contestants to win over his heart. Yes, 12. I wanted to this last time, but things got in the way. With the pre-simblr demand (those listed already contacted me on Twitter) so high, it is only fair I offer up four additional slots! MESSAGE TO GET ONE! With a low pool of availability, it’s definitely first come, first serve.

1. (James Louie: Interview is included) @rosey-sims 2. (Jake Francisco + Interview) @socialjusticesimblr 3. (Ambrose Zoltan + Interview) @berriesandbrownsugar 4. (Delano Ebonywood + Interview ) @sevenleafsimblr 5. (Esme Razoud + Interview)  @avtvmnsalad 6. (Alice Juster + Interview) @tosimornottosim 7. (Kiran Harris: Interview Included) @simpishly 8. (Caleb Lowe: Interview included) @turtlepixels 9. (Jacob Byrson: Interview is included) @blurrypxls 10. (Lennon Lynch: Interview is included) @melien 11. (Aliza Rinne + Interview) @bumble-sims 12. (Spencer Keaney + Interview)  @asimlishpixel

Creation Deadline: The week of January 30th. This means you’ll have until the end of this month to make your contestants, but the latest you can submit is February 3rd. (Maybe the 4th if I’m feeling a little generous).

Interview questions will be handed out once we have our roster! But if you’re one of those people who has a sim lined up, give a short bio, and then have your sim answer the questions. Thank you!
