Slightly sloppy Nightcat— I MEAN Watcher doodle!! Super excited for the new DLC :D Didn't think we'd be getting any more major content after Downpour tbh.

This is based off one of the screenshots on the Steam page!! I thought it was another sandy biome at first (white sand is cool to me), but then I realized it was probably snow 🧍

Sugar, Spice and a Tempting Vice

VA! MC x OM! Characters

"Hey Levi, any new game recommendations for me? I just finished the last lot of books Satan suggested." You asked, plopping down your head on his shoulder to look at his screen.

"M-MC! You have to warn me before you do such things!" He muttered, his ears turning red as he scrolled some webpages pages for you. "But okay yeah these are the new games that are out recently... see anything you like?"

"Oh my God! It's out it's out!" You pointed excitedly at the screen. "Pretty Little Things is out! Finally!! I was dying to tell you all about it!"

Levi visibly stiffened up. "You-you were waiting for this particular game to come out? Are you sure it's not another game with a similar sounding name?"

"Nah uh this is the exact same one. Look up the list of voice actors in this game!"

"WHAT?! MC WHY IS YOUR NAME IN HERE?????"

"Yes! This was the new part-time job I couldn't tell you about since it was still in production! Im so glad you can just play it now!"

"...it's uh ready for download on all platforms already...so which character did voice?"

"Oh spoiler alert, my character is the only one that doesn't have a name, you have assign me one, the same way you name yourself. They even designed the characters to resemble all the VA's and add in some of their personalities, isn't that sweet?"

"Hahaha y-yeah definitely sweet! I'll be sure to check it out soon!"

"Great! Lemme know what you think of the game okay?!" You squeezed him in a small hug before you left.

Later in the Demon Brothers only group chat:

Levi: Code Red! Code Red! ASHSKSHSKSKSJJSKKS

Mammon: WHAT WHAT THAT MEANS AN MC RELATED EMERGENCY RIGHT??

Asmo: OMG are they OKAY?? Should I go check up on them in their room!?!

Satan: I'm already on my way.

Mammon: NOT BEFORE ME YOU'RE NOT!

Belphie: Is MC hurt in anyway?

Beel: Did they pass out from hunger?! I can bring them emergency snacks right away

Lucifer: Can you lot not lose your minds everytime MC is mentioned? Pathetic. Levi, calm down and tell us what's wrong.

Beel: But Lucifer I just saw you hurrying up the stairs to MC's room too...

Satan: Typical Lucifer. By the way, MC is perfectly fine, happy even. Levi what are you on about?

Mammon: Yeah MC can't stop smiling! It's a good thing that happened, you idiot! Why would you scare us like that?

Asmo: Omg apparently MC voice acted in a new game! Levi I need you to download it for me ASAP please!

Beel: Me too, please.

Belphie: Me three.

Lucifer: I've already done it, you all can do it yourselves if you could do your own work for once.

Satan: Oh shut up, MC just did it for you right now as they did it for me.

Levi: It's a Dating Simulator. With multiple H-rated DLC endings. And MC is one of the dateables.

...

Levi: Hello?!! Did you guys not see my message?!

Levi: Seriously no reaction?! You guys aren't freaked out by this?!?

Beel: I just heard several doors opening and closing at once.

Asmo: Oh come Levi, I think you already know what our reaction is Levi ♥️ How can we possibly hold in our excitement after such a news!?

Levi: Are you all downloading the game together?!!! Y'all are hogging the bandwidth too much, my download speed has gone way down!!

Simeon: Hey

Simeon: I heard some demons in a cafe, raving about a game where MC plays one of the main characters?

Solomon: Indeed MC just sent us all a link right now.

Simeon: Oh is that so? I'll get Luke to help me download it after he's done with his.

Levi: Luke is playing it too?! I don't think it's appropriate given it's certain hidden endings!!

Barbatos: MC already made sure of it. He only has access to the sibling and friendship routes. It's a special version they added for all ages.

Diavolo: It already has downloads in the ten thousands. I'm really glad to see how MC is beloved by Devildom.

Levi: Are NONE of you affected by the fact that there are erotic routes with MC's VOICE?!!

Solomon: Oh I personally cannot wait hear my adorable apprentice's performance.

Barbatos: Ahem. I'd rather not comment on it.

Simeon: Same.

Diavolo: Same.

Levi: Sigh. We really are just a helpless lot at the mercy of MC.

To be continued...

hiii dogman :D hope the new dlc’s writing is goin well, i’m so excited for the rebecca cameo :D!!

me and a few friends were chatting about the other phoneys , and I was wondering, since u mentioned that steven quit before things could get too bad at the plant, was it before or after roger became manager ? since i’d imagine that in the dt universe, steven is similar to his dsaf counterpart in terms of personality.

glad to hear you're hyped for the becca cameo! sorry for stalling further on it, i'm recovering from covid (i'm vaccinated and junk but my breathing's not so good, so it tends to hit me badly), but i think i'm over the hump now! I'll be resuming regular posting for the rest of the month and trying to make up some ground I lost soon!

Anyway, I pictured Steven quitting AFTER Roger took over. I can't remember if I implied a timeframe in the route, but I guess I pictured more than a week before the route starts but less than a month before. Enough time has passed that it didn't really come up in conversation (especially with Walt quitting at the start of the day) but that it's probably lingering in the back of Roger's mind (and on his desktop.) Hope this helps!

Lucanis post locking in the romance quest/date idea

I really liked lucanis as a romantic character who isn't particularly good at romantic gestures but is way better when he just follows his instincts anyway sooo heres my idea for a post locking in the romance quest for Lucanis before his final act quest that would improve the romance a lot, bioware steal this idea for a dlc or update you have my permission.

----

Lucanis finds Rook in the kitchen as they come in, strides up to them very proud talking about a date. He's planned a date! Well, Bellara planned a date, he apprehensively admits, but he's excited and he's sure it'll be perfect and he'll meet Rook at the restaurant in Treviso whenever they are ready. He's got that cool confidence you see him with all the time.

When you get to the date, the camera pans you into the scene from above, and you are in the most gaudy romantic restaurant imaginable, I'm talking candles all around the area, rose petals on the floor and bouquets littering the room, it's A LOT. Rook and Lucanis are sat across from each other but between them is a massive food center piece that completely blocks them from seeing each other. Next to the table is a loud obnoxious music troupe serenading the couple before them much to both their dismay. Rook is befuddled trying to make small talk but can't see or hear past the things around them, whilst Lucanis is rubbing his brow frustrated and embarrassed. Amidst the madness, their entrees arrive and they look awful, they question what it is for a second, before Lucanis lets out a long sad sigh, Rook asks if he's okay and he waves his hand before looking down, making a comment to himself about how he really just wanted this date to be special. Rook hears this even though they aren't meant to, and tries to reassure him but alternatively decided to take initiative and suggest they ditch, making up an excuse, and exiting this wild scene and go for a walk around Treviso. He quickly agrees and they run out of the resteraunt ducking away from the loudness. The energy outside the restaurant is immediately less tense if still a bit awkward at first. They just small talk, laughing about it being Bellara's idea, talking about Lucanis's previous underwhelming attempts at romance he's had with others. He brings up the story about giving a knife to a person he tried to romance prior and being rejected, not really trusting his sense of romance. Rook reassures him and they both begin to ease. They go through the market, commenting on the things around them, Lucanis talking about his childhood in Treviso, Rook commenting similarly about her upbringing (faction/race character dialogue). They get to the flower stand and Lucanis picks one out after asking what Rook's favorite is. As they continue to get more invested in conversation, talking about his previous attempts at romancing Rook, mentioning his locking in scene being told it was underwhelming by the other teammates, what it's like dealing with Spite, maybe Spite throwing some insults at Lucanis for how terribly the date went at the beginning, commenting on what Rook smells like or something similar. As they begin to get past the market, the conversation begins to almost draw to an end, mentioning how late it is, with Rook looking up, saying how they think the skyline in Treviso is so beautiful. Lucanis clearly thinks to himself for a moment and then says he knows all the best viewing spots if they want to see? offering his hand and Rook agrees. He leads them to the spot, up spiral staircases across flat roofs, small moments of tripping and giggling, mentioning Rooks surprising lack of dexterity, until they end up in a secluded rooftop balcony area, with little flowers hang down from the tiles above it, dimly lit against the glittering Treviso skyline. Rook is taken aback, amazed by what they see before them, Lucanis starts pointing out some of the things he mentioned earlier in the market. This moment lingers until they realize they haven't stopped holding hands, a little stuttering, an awkward shuffle between the two until the moment silence is broken by a violin and guitar player playing on the street below. Lucanis asks if Rook would like to dance, they accept. It's a bit clumsy at first, little chuckles and misstep but they steady into it, a steady swaying (big ol obvious metaphor for the date). Lucanis mentions learning to dance for seduction and assassin reasons, Rook asking if that's what he'd been doing all evening (sarcastic mask dialogue). Moment is rosie, warm, and Lucanis asks if he could be honest for a moment.

He begins to talk about how since he was young he wasn't the charmer like his cousin, he was only ever sure of the dagger in his hand, the hand of someone else feeling too delicate, and it being proven to him time and time again as something he could break, that feeling intensifying even more so since acquiring Spite, with these moments being too fragile and too beautiful for him to be allowed to hold. So, afraid to break them, he denied them, drowned them, thought that after the ossuary he would remain sunk under the ocean, that he would go down with these burdens, and let himself be enveloped by the water. But in these moments in front of Rook, someone who actively is striving to make the world around them better, faces the world every day, unafraid to find the good in it whilst against all the bad, he wonders... what it would feel like. Wonders what? Rook asks. To just... give in, he replies in whispers. He is inches away from their face at this point in time, his forehead against theirs. Rook makes a close whispered remark, like an I'm here. You're safe. I've got you, type line (I'm not a writer). He moves forward, leans into a soft but long kiss between them. The warmth of the moment swelling as the music plays around them. He pulls away slowly, his eyes meeting theirs, hazy and full of warmth. Rook smiles at him coyly, ''and how does it feel?", they ask. Lucanis releases a deep breath smiling back at Rook.

"Like coming up for air".

The camera floats up towards the skyline as the couple continues to dance and the scene fades to black.

yeah. im not a writer idk how to fancy this up at all, or make it less cheesy but thats my idea

[shima-draws]

Tell us about the AU! I know you want to!!

WAUGHHH. AGHHH. OKAY. OKAY SO. I've been watching one of my favorite content creators play through the DLC. Early on in the playthrough he was tossing around theories and said "Maybe KIERAN is Ogerpon??" and that gave me a BRILLIANT THOUGHT.

Ogerpon Kieran AU.......

I've already thought of a very long and complex backstory for this LOL but to simplify it. Before the ogre and its human companion came to Kitakami, said companion was actually living a very happy life with his child. However, they were caught up in the midst of a great war that ended up taking the child's life. The man was so overcome with grief that it summoned a great being (I'm thinking Xerneas), who blessed his dead child with new life. And that child was reborn as Ogerpon!! So kinda like how children who get lost in the woods and die are reborn as Phantump.

Fast forward to many many years later. A long chain of events leads to Carmine's grandfather's...father (so, her great-grandpa?) meeting Ogerpon and vowing to make it a new mask, a mystical and powerful mask that could grant wishes. Sadly, Carmine's great-grandpa wasn't able to complete the mask before he died. This project was eventually picked up by Carmine's father (and I have a whole other thing about him but I'm not gonna get into it right now lol). Carmine's father forms a very close bond with Ogerpon as he continues to gather materials to finish the wish mask. He expresses his desire for Ogerpon to finally be able to walk among the villagers with its name cleared, and for Ogerpon to meet his only daughter. He leaves for a journey to find the last material for the mask...and never returns 😔

Carmine's grandfather has a whole complex about the wish mask, but after seeing both his father and his son dedicate so much time and care into completing it, he takes the last material, imbued with the hopes and dreams of his family, and finally finishes the mask. When he presents it to Ogerpon, Ogerpon dons the mask and its wish is granted...it becomes human :") So it becomes Kieran, basically!! Kieran's wish was to be able to say thank you to all of the generations of mask makers that had helped him, and. To be part of their family 🥺 What he doesn't know is that his wish to be human stems from the fact that he already was human, once. But he doesn't remember his life before he was reborn as a Pokemon.

So, Carmine's grandfather happily accepts Kieran and his desire, and takes him home to live with him and Carmine. Note that Kieran is probably around 5-6 at the time, so he's BABY. And Carmine is only about a year or two older. She isn't sure what to think about suddenly getting a new brother, but she's happy to have someone to boss around lmao.

And once a year, during the festival of masks, Kieran lets his facade fall and wanders around as Ogerpon again. Just to keep in touch with his roots haha

So obviously with Kieran being Ogerpon the events of the DLC will play out differently than canon. Kieran slyly compliments the ogre in front of the player and mentions that maybe it's just misunderstood. He's been trying for a while to change the villagers' minds about what happened to him and the Loyal Three all those years ago, but it hasn't been going...too well lol. So when the player shows up, and things start to shift, Kieran gets really excited bc he realizes he finally might be able to clear his name :")

Is this AU silly and dumb as hell? Yes. Does it not really make sense with canon and is full of plot holes? Yes. Am I brainrotting over it anyway? Also yes.

Take a little edit I did of Kieran's official art to fit what I had in mind for the AU ;) I wanted to draw it but I'm at work rn lmao RIP

ALSO LITTLE DOODLE OF THE BOY

ALSO bc of Ogerpon's original gender Kieran probably goes by he/they pronouns in the AU

RISK OF RAIN!!!!!!!

i have been playing games with time loop mechanics for too long because i watched someone gathering a lot of supplies to build something in a different game and my first thought was "well that's not worth it it's gonna be gone in a minute anyway"

[pokemonheritageposts]

just wanted to say congrats on getting the job! I know we're all pokemon fans interacting with your blog, so it's kinda selfish of me to say I'm looking forward to your SV DLC playthrough without acknowledging the context. being unemployed is so hard, scary, and stressful, and you not only got through that but you also still kept doing cool stuff for pokemon tumblr. the last time I was unemployed, every single day was painful. watching my savings dwindle to nothing was terrifying. I could barely keep up a brave face for close relationships, and you were out here gently adding humour wherever you could, for strangers online. that's such a marvellous, generous. and wonderful thing. so anyways, a big huge, gigantamax-sized congratulations on getting your new job. you probably have as many people rooting for you as there are pokemon :) and I hope that this new phase of your life introduces some ease, grace, safety, and leisure back into your life. (and I hope the DLC is fun for you! you deserve fun and play and joy and silliness... and real paycheques.)

Thanks! It's true what they say, the only feeling worse than having a job is not having a job. And don't worry, I'm glad people are excited for the DLC liveblog!

[vintagesimstress]

Hey Folks!

Just a quick reminder that we're getting a new patch today and judging by the looks of it, it will. break. EVERYTHING.

I was going to finally update my game this month and then try to fix my obsolete mini-mods, but since the trailer of the new DLC dropped (and I saw how much of a damage to mods it'll do) I decided it makes no sense, as they'd break after a week or two anyway 🙃

I'm excited for the new pack and I still totally plan on updating both my game and my own mini-mods... Once things have calmed down a bit. You know, once we get the patch, then an emergency patch, then another one, then the DLC actually drops and we get another patch, and all the creators of the Big Mods Without Which I Can't Even Play This Game update their mods. So probably some time in November, if life allows. Until then, please consider my mods unsupported.

CAS should be fine though 😎

Get in the Car, Loser! plushie… and console port!

Hey... can you keep a secret? Everyone knows that Sam Anon was the cool goth megababe healer in the party that defeated the Machine Devil, but did you also know her real name is secretly Princess Sam Under Heaven? That's right! The princess herself! She helped keep the party alive and fighting with her support and ravage abilities—who knows what powerful magic you could gain from this trinket of an all new legendary hero? This cute lesbian disaster has famously proven she'll join you on any road trip you tell her to... but getting to spread out her legs and rest at your desk would be nice too.

That's right! We're doing one more plushie in collaboration with Makeship, this one of Sam from Get in the Car, Loser! I've been holding onto the prototype of this one for a bit now and I'm really happy with how she turned out... I wouldn't be making these if I wasn't excited about them too! Man. She's so cute. Look, it's OUR GIRL! ...anyway. The way Makeship works is that they take crowdfunded preorders and only make that many, and they'll need to get 200 orders to make it happen. It'll cost $29.99 and the campaign will be running for all of Pride Month until July 2!

Plus... we've got one more bit of news! This one's huge!

BECAUSE YOU ASKED FOR IT! For basically three years nonstop! The summer road trip adventure is NOW PORTABLE! Coming to the Nintendo Switch™ this September, this special edition includes all four chapters of the battle to fight the Machine Devil, plus the bonus beach DLC Battle on the Big Boardwalk, and the culminating final extra story DLC Fate of Another World!

I'm really excited about this one, this is my first-ever console release, so I'm a little starstruck that it's actually real!

If you wanna get an email about it when it comes out, you can sign up for that here!

(Nintendo Switch is a trademark of Nintendo.)

[limeysims]

I don't usually do this kind of post but this has gone SO off the rails that I have to explain. Or just rant

So! At the BEGINNING of September I thought I would be SMART✨ and start my Halloween gameplay and plans early this year, because last year I was super new to simblr and not prepared.

Since I have never really played with Vampires, or let Sims die in my game, (and with the Lovestruck pack being relatively fresh) I thought a Black Widow x Vampires gameplay would be perfect ^^

After Goopy Gilscarbo and Victor Feng, Mortimer Goth was the next in line. He had somehow been widowed in the short time I had been playing (forgot to turn off story progression ☹ )

But Consuela LOVED HIM and they were too cute together. Things progressed some more so my genius ass came up with the idea, to have him die accidentally (suspected foul play), and she can do the Ambrosia questline since I've never played through it before! This is great 🙂

Anyway., so then of course the Reapers Rewards event and Life and Death were announced over 3 weeks into my gameplay

I planned on having so much more posted by this time and the story wrapped by Halloween but with the pack being announced I feel like I just keep waiting because the events and DLC will add so much to their story. But I'm really excited about it!

For my own peace of mind, and the few readers I do have. Hope this helps clarify wtf I'm doing 😂 Thank you so much for reading if you did and I hope you like Consuela so far. 🦇

[saruin]

i'm SO SO excited for the new love pack. Don't much care for the dating app and Wicked Woohoo already comes with turn on/turn offs but i'm still so excited!!

So much so that i can't even hear the people whining about it anymore. People making posts literally begging others to not buy the new pack are so strange to me, like...sucks to be you but i love the sims 4 and i have no problem buying the packs i want, and not buying those i don't.

Like how is the fact a nostalgic piece of furniture being in the new pack a problem? I don't get it.

EA has done a lot of dumb shit (like the hot tub for the 25th anniversary, or the star wars pack no one wanted, or that survey in general that they never even stuck to anyway)

but really? a bed? Console players get forgotten and people are whining about the bed not being free??

Same! I don't interact with a lot of game play gimmicks but I'm always excited to see bb and cas items when it comes to the bigger game packs. Plus they're bringing back a lot of animations that have been missed since sims 3, so excited.

People have been complaining about this game since before it was released, I'm not gonna let that affect me buying every single dlc on console. Should things have been implemented sooner? probably but so what, they're here now and that's not a bad thing.

In my opinion, pc players let the glitz and glamour of mods dictate how they think the game should be developed, like you said, console users are all but ignored. A pc player hates a aspect of gameplay? they can mod it to be better or mod it to completely remove it from their save file. I don't have that luxury, I gotta wait for a lot of things to be implemented or fixed. It's not a complaint, just an observation; if I wanted to play on pc i could, I just choose not to lol

Also the developers put their whole pussy into the meshes and textures of the Journey to Batuu pack. Say what you want about the gameplay but everything in that pack LOOKS. GOOD. I will die on this hill.
