Mod Updates

As always delete old Mods Files and the localthumbcache, when updating my Mods!

Calendar Tweaks Reworked Mod a bit to make it a little bit easier to handle. What I changed: You still need to manually allow Exam/Prom to be added via my Interactions. I recommend to do this between Sunday-Tuesday to make sure they get added correctly the next Friday/Saturday. You don't need to manually disable it anymore. It will automatically get disabled: Exam - Fridays at School when attending Exam or when you send them alone after School when the Teen comes back. Prom - When attending Prom. You can still manually disable them, but that is limited to a small time frame, to prevent Issues with the actual Events: Exam - Fridays 8am - 6pm Prom - Saturday 7pm - Midnight When you want to have Exam/Prom two weeks in a row you need to enable it again Sunday-Tuesday. PreProm Invites should now be prevented as well.

Objects don't share Inventory Update to add a missing Inventory Type, which is needed for my Transfer Inventory Gemology Table Update.

Transfer Inventory Added Support for the Gemology Table. Be aware the "Put all Crystals & Metals into the Gemology Table" Interaction will only show up, when my "Objects don't share Inventory" Mod is installed. EA did not add the Gemology Table Inventory Type to the needed Inventory Tuning and that will cause Errors, when using the Transfer Function. I added the missing Code to the Tuning, which I edit in said Mod, so until EA actually adds the Gemology Table Inventory Type themself this Mod is required for the Gemology Table to work.

hello, i hope ur having a good day/evening/night when you get this!❤️

so i was hoping to request something for dashing or undashing Cody where he keeps hanging out with other female wrestlers in hopes of getting fem reader jealous or something, but reader has never had people like Cody be interested in them in any kind of way, so she doesnt realize what hes doing until Cody drags them into a closet or something and is basically like ‘why arent you paying attention to me?🥺’ and reader is basically shocked and surprised that Cody likes her back.

anyway, i hope this wasnt too long🥺 and i loved the cody one you just posted based off of him calling out the rock; absolute perfection 👌

{~I'm very serious with you guys interacting with my writing!!!! it would make me so happy & excited, the more comments & reposts the more inspiration i have to write :) likes and comments are strongly appreciated so please COMMENT COMMENT COMMENT COMMEENNTTT the more comments the more content <3!!!~}

Cody & Y/N always had a close bond especially since the two of them met, they clicked almost instantly, at the time Y/N was working at a little Cafe down the street of Cody’s apartment so he would visit almost everyday and each day they always talked while she worked.

Eventually she started going to his events to be the supportive bestfriend she loved being & then they got even closer, Holding hands, hugging on each other while standing making multiple girls interested in him think she was his girlfriend, he would kiss the top of her head often, even sleepover at Y/N’s apartment or ..

Y/N sleeping over at his, either way the duo was inseparable, and then things got confusing for Y/N…She started feeling a certain way towards Cody especially because how he would give her special treatment that the average bestfriend wouldn’t receive, Just like the character he had played as in the ring he was just as Dashing, his aurora leaked of charisma, She was so scared of these feelings but things got worse, Cody was known for “messing around” with some girls so he definitely hooked up many times to keep himself entertained for awhile and also distract him from his own feelings. Y/N would be fuming every single time another woman was with Cody. But then it turned into a game for Cody, he knew she was jealous and wanted her to be jealous.

Y/N stood aside in backstage with her arms crossed a glare on her face as she watched Cody flirt with yet another girl laughing way to hard at his jokes that were never THAT funny, eventually the girl walked off with a smile on her face while Cody grinned to himself before turning towards Y/N and smiled approaching her for a hug but she held up a hand to stop him & coming up with an excuse “I feel a little under the weather Codes’ good luck on your promo, I don’t wanna get you sick or something.” She smiled meekly while fiddling with the skirt she just put on just for him an hour ago before going over to the stadium they were hosting raw at.

“You sure? I can get you something to ea-“. “Nonono I’m fine just need rest, Good luck tonight Cody, I’ll be watching from home.” She smiled while Cody stared at her in suspicion & decided once he was done with his work of entertaining tens of thousands of fans for the night that he would give Y/N a visit because he does not fall for that shit whatso ever.

Y/N sat in her car as she waited in traffic with her two fingers pressed against the left temple of her head as her mind betrayed her on thoughts she didn’t particularly want to think about. The reminder that her chances of being with Cody are low, extremely low. At least that’s what she made herself think, once she finally fought through the traffic & made her way to her apartment she locked her front door after snagging her extra key from under her “welcome home” rug that laid in-front of the door. She slammed the key on her table & sighed as she put on her most comfy pajamas before lying down on her bed & sulking over s man who feels things for her just as much as she does for him without even realizing it.

After a few hours she was already asleep & Cody just made his way up the stairs in her apartment complex & stood by her doorstep as he tried to grab the spare key from under her rug only to see that it’s vanished. He tried knocking but go no response.

The next day Y/N stood behind the counter training a new barista & felt nervous as Cody walked into the cafe waiting for her to give him his undivided attention, but instead she had the trainee handle his order & she just stood back observing her new fellow employee & helping her work the register while Cody stared at her in confusion as to why she wasn’t paying attention to him. If this meant staying until she closes up the shop then so be it. He had the free time today.

So he sat there, for hours watching and observing her while he waited for her to clock out and go home. She saw him in the corner of her eyes the entire day and felt his stare burn right past her skin. Y/N began closing down the cafe & hang up her apron before going outside which had Cody follow along while she locked the doors & begin speed walking off “I know your not sick Y/N.” He called out to her as he followed from behind but she still gave no response to him. “Doll I really hope you don’t take me for a fucking dumbass because I know what game you’re trying to play & I don’t like it.” He shouted out once more but she shook her head as she walked even faster and so did he. She forgets he has the energy to chase after him no matter where she was going.

They soon ended up at her apartment building and he still followed her up the stairs and eventually pressed her up against the door she was about to unlock “Why aren’t you paying attention to me sweetheart? You know I don’t like it so why are you doing this to me?” She frowned and attempted to respond but she didn’t have the words to reply “I know you’re not sick either, you were perfectly fine last night and today.” She nervously shrugged “I— well you seemed busy with a few girls so I’m assuming I was interrupting something.” He sighed with a smile spreading across his face “I get it now, you’re jealous aren’t you baby?” She widened her eyes and shook her head “What?! Me?! Noo! I- well- you-“ Cody interrupted her defensive blabbering and pressed his lips against hers very gently before entangling his fingers into her hair. Her eyelids fluttered down and began kissing him back after letting the shock take over her body for just a split second.

Cody slipped his tongue right past her swollen lips & eventually pulled away wiping off her mouth while she whined softly “You talk to much baby.” He chuckled out before taking her keys & unlocking her door and immediately shoving his mouth back against hers as they stumbled into Y/N’s humble abode. He pressed her against the couch & bit slightly down against her bottom lip while she whimpered into his mouth as he wrapped her legs around his hips as he started grinding into her, she let out a low moan the moment his clothed hard on pressed against her. “Feel that sweet girl? You make me so fucking hard baby.” He groaned into her ear while she rolled her eyes back once he started grinding into her even more which made her feel a sudden wetness in her panties that left her a little alarmed since she was so unfamiliar with sex due to her having a shitty hookup once a blue moon “C-Cody ‘m all w-wet down there..” she sighed out while he grinned & started pulling down her leggings marveling over her laced panties. He pressed his thumb against her clothed clit and smirked to himself once he saw her squirm and lift her hips up forth even more.

“Oh i know angel, your not used to having someone who actually knows what he’s doing with your pretty pussy huh?” He grinned as she meekly nodded & gasped when she heard a loud tear & looked down seeing him quite literally rip off her panties “C-Cody! I just boug- ffuckk..” she moaned once she felt him slowly push his fingers inside her cunt while he sat up while pumping them in and out of her leaving the room to echo the noises of him finger fucking her. Y/N cried softly while he nipped at the shell of her ear “Feels good? Yeah? Of course you to baby, y’just needed daddy to touch your pretty cunt properly huh baby?” She nodded vigorously while she clenched around his finger the moment his started curling his finger inside of her & teasing her clit with his thumb. “O-Oh my god Cody!!” She squealed kicking her legs a little bit but he didn’t budge on whatever she was trying to do, his fingers fucked into her faster while she clenched around them like a vice & started cumming & making a mess of herself making the brunette male chuckle and kiss her temple before pulling his fingers out tapping then against her already fucked out cunt before licking off her juices from his fingers.

He immediately started taking of his pants & pulling his cock out from his boxers giving himself a few strokes smearing his pre cum around the head of his cock & pulled her onto his lap while grabbing her jaw gently and making her hover over his lap forcing Y/N to look at him in the eye “You’re gonna sit on my fuckin’ dick, take it all like a good girl & not move a fucking muscle until I tell you understand?” She nodded quickly and wrapped her arms around him before kissing him in an impatient manner before moaning against his mouth when he started seething himself inside of her. She felt him leave a slight bulge in her stomach as her cunt tightened around his cock immediately feeling him throbbing inside of her “gonna take my dick like a big girl? Hm?” He almost felt guilty for being slightly rough with a girl who was so innocent & needy but then again he was going to prove her he can fuck her 10x better than her past hookups.

He enjoyed the fact she would let him man handle her & hold her small figure against him while his cock was sunken inside of her, Y/N moaned softly when his dick started twitching, her face was all covered up in the crook of his neck while his large hands ran down her entire body, groping her breasts & rubbing against her tummy before he started slowly thrusting up into her “Fuck..” he groaned into her ear while she leaned her head back and started bouncing on his dick in the same rhythm he was in making her gasp & scratch his chest a little bit “Yeah? You feel good don’t you baby? Taking daddy’s cock like the good girl you are.” He grunted and scratched her hips the more he thrusted himself into her swollen pussy while she nodded continuously before flopping her head onto his shoulder as he started letting out moans himself and wrapping his arm around her even tighter “c’mon s-sweet girl cum for me, cum for daddy.” She cried out in pleasure against his skin before lifting her head and kissing him the moment he made her cum “i-i’m cumming!” She cried out as his thrusts got sloppier while the apartment was surrounded with skin slapping, heavy breathing & the two mumbling to eachother. “Daddy ‘m cumming!!” She moaned into her ears as she came around his dick & eventually him quickly pulling out & cumming against his & Y/N’s stomach.

He held her as close to him as possible breathing heavily while she giggled in his ear followed him his chuckling & grabbing her face to get another kiss out of her before getting off of the couch & carrying her into the bathroom setting up a bubble bath. While they waited her stood in-between her legs & hugged onto her “I think it’s safe to say you’re my girlfriend now right?” Y/N laughed with him and nodded her head tiredly before he finally set her in the tub & washed off her body. “I promise next week I’ll give you a proper date.” He joked but he was also serious. Y/N smiled in exhaustion “I’m sure y’will Codes.” He grinned and kissed her cheek.

he continued catering to her for the night & giving her the aftercare she deserved and spending the night after realizing she’s loved him for as long as he’s loved her.

this post is just some info on yesterday's DA:TV Fandom party at SDCC. :>

What was this party? [Here] is a post with the pre-event information that was made available. [Here] is a pre-event article that contains an interview with the organizer. And [this article] on the event contains some additional information, like on the versions of this party held in previous years, which helps for context. There was no new DA:TV information of note from the party

Links to Fandom (the company's) Twitter account, their Instagram. If you look at these (including on the Instagram Stories), you can see some pictures and stuff from the party. for those interested in watching a video version of some of these, Ghil Dirthalen posted a video recording that she made last night of Fandom the company's Instagram posts [here]. there are also more pictures and stuff from the party that you can see if you click through to [some of] the source links below here in the rest of this post.

As was previously reported the other week, Jason Derulo headlined the party (like as in a gig). Here's an image of him there [source] (the him singing DA stuff part was a joke tho btw hh). They considered having an orchestra because of DA's musical score but they got Jason Derulo

One of the party props was a big background of the DA:TV key art [source]. Here you can see the DA:TV logo on another backdrop. [source] This tweet contains both of these backdrops from a different angle

There was also an archway prop based on this DA:TV key art, and big screens which projected images from the game (including of Varric and this screenshot) [source]. It looks like these images were also projected to television screens? [source]

This tweet contains the questions and the answers to the DA-themed scavenger hunt (transcription of this at the end of this post), as well as a partial look at the map layout of the party

This is how photos taken in the DA themed photo booth look (this DA:TV screenshot was the backdrop) [source]

There was a VIP section at the party [source]. Gary McKay, the General Manager of BioWare, was there [source], as were John Epler and Zach Mendez (Lucanis) [source], Ali Hillis (Harding) [source], Nick Boraine (Emmrich) [source], Kari a BioWare Brand Director [source], Jessica Clark (Neve) [source] and Corinne Busche [source]. Erika Ishii (Rook) also visited but got kicked out of VIP hh [source]. Some cosplayers from the DA community were also personally invited by BioWare & PR at EA Games and attended! like Ladytoxie as Bellara ^^ [source, two], and some celebrities also, such as Doug Jones [source]

Ladytoxie mentioned that they will be posting a Vlog of their experience and coverage of the event, "probably next week" [source], having documented it at the time [source] (tysm!!)

Ladytoxie reported that it was a good, memorable experience and that everyone was lovely [source]

There was supposed to be some DA:TV-related pins and lanyards being handed out at the party, but these got stuck at customs, so there wasn't any goodies being handed out [source]

Links to some more images from the party: [one], [two], [three]

Scavenger hunt text (questions and answers) transcription:

"Clue 1: Step up to spot the flames where Fandom's 20-year tale burns bright, celeberate twenty years of worldbuilding where this terrifying Dragon Age wiki takes flight. Answer: Archdemon Clue 2: Follow the path and find the shining blue gem, discover the wiki of this Dragon Age elven hedge mage for your chance to win! Answer: Solas Clue 3: Search for the place where steel balls ricochet, where the flippers dance and the wizards gather to play. Find the wiki of a dwarf and son from the House of Tethras, known as a Dragon Age rogue with his crossbow, Bianca. Answer: Varric Clue 4: Venture to where 360 degree views are spun, where fans share your favorite #/fandom20 with props that are comically fun. Scan the QR code to reveal this order of warriors who defeat the Blight, and with the invasion of darkspawn, they put up a legendary fight. Answer: Grey Wardens Clue 5: Finish your scavenger hunt quest where Dragon Age lore comes alive, a photo booth adventure where fantasies thrive. Pose in a setting of this wiki's southern continent vast, two moons overhead, in a world built to last. Answer: Thedas"

I read several discussions on the internet that at one point in development Halsin had a loved one or a wife that he wanted to find in Moonrise, that's why he joined you. But nothing specific. This information is like a ghost that appears, then silence. Checking Halsin's files in the EA builds, I didn't find anything like that. But recently I checked the files of some NPCs and it's more or less understandable where these speculations came from.

Based on very early data, Halsin wasn't the only archdruid in the grove. There was also a woman named Denor. Little is known about her. She was a worshipper of the goddess Eldath (btw, previously Nettie also worshipped Eldath, not Silvanus). She was obsessed with the idea of lifting the shadow curse (remind you of anyone?) Before the events in the game, she and Halsin had a serious argument about something, after which Denor left the grove and went to Moonrise. And it seems Halsin joined Aradin's expedition to get to Moonrise as well and find out what happened to her.

There are cut lines of Nettie in EA build where she mentions Denor.

Halsin and Denor are archdruids, made it their lives work to restore the lands. The other archdruid of our grove, she left for Moonrise after a big argument with Halsin. She was obsessed with lifting the curse. I wish Denor was still here.

The text file also contains unvoiced lines by an unknown character about her.

Bless you, no - I only serve Eldath's druids. Druid, I guess, since Denor disappeared. There are only two left. Denor… well, she's been missing a long while. Denor's been missing a long while, and Halsin went away with Aradin and the rest. But without Halsin and Denor this place feels like a rudderless boat in the eye of a storm. Nettie does her best, but with Halsin and Denor gone - my purpose has gone with them.

In the code Denor is marked as "DruidHermit". The player could have met her in the shadow-cursed lands.

According to some flags, in one case she could return to the grove, in another she could die (killed?)

In the shadow-cursed lands the player could also find her note to Halsin.

SCL_DruidHermit_Letter |Dear Halsin, I know we didn't see eye to eye on this, but I think there might be something worth investigating in that tomb and I'm going to fix all of this|

That's all I could find. I don't know exactly what the relationship was between Denor and Halsin, but the info above was enough for someone to speculate about lover/wife.

This part of the plot was definitely rewritten even before early access. And even though Denor was cut out, some of her content clearly went to Halsin. Like an obsession with the shadow curse, for example.

anyone wanna see the most dork ass stupid nerd loser thing ive ever made

they're EAS event codes for. terraria

[housederiva]

Hello! Hope all is well, I wanted to ask what do you think is best to do about Da:tv? Considering the layoffs and like, Initially i wanted to wait a couple of weeks after release, specially after the catastrophe of everything about The Sims 4, Da:tv feels like its going down the same path? Like both games owned by EA that where too many years in development hell, first being made as multiplayer then burned to the ground and made again, much of the previous lore ignored, Da:tv will probably be also patched to hell and back like ts4.

Unfortunatly with all this said i think I will buy the game anyway, not pre-order! But still buying it, because truth be told, even if its garbage i will enjoy it, as much as i enjoyed the Sims 4, but i still wanted to hear your thoughts!

Like, maybe romance Lucanis as my first playthrough? Im sure EA/bioware have player stats and if the most romanced companion is by someone you laid off... I don't really know where Im going with this, Im not too knowledgeable, but i would like that Mary Kirby to be properly compensated :(

Dear listener I'm on a midnight train going nowhere (though i did sign the lease to move into a house in my favorite beach town this morning so maybe the train is flipping a sick Uie) a general rule of thumb I've seen is to wait a few days after a AAA launch for the first patch to come out or to see if it's playable in the first place...But Veilguard did have that giant player event earlier this month and all the bugs I could see were folds in fabric and hair clipping (though those folks were playing on optimized pc's) and BW has mentioned a few times that they're trying to not repeat Andromeda

Regardless if you preorder the game or not, Steam takes 30% of your payment. Speaking as someone who works in production, I know that devs/crew get paid either weekly or monthly for the work they've already done and will do until their contacts end from funds that have already been allocated to their payrolls. The vast majority of BioWare's crew, the people who actively coded and worked on Veilguard, will see none of the money from any sales, preorder or otherwise. AAA sales line EA ceo pockets, not that of the people we care about. Which sucks but that's the way it is. (if a BW crew member sees this please feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken)

This is a bit from a Eurogamer article if you want to read more into the logistic of where your money goes

I'm not preordering Veilguard out of personal preference, and while I know my money is still going to the people who laid of Marry and a bunch of other folks with no warning, I feel better withholding my contribution until Halloween

But yeah, I think it'd be a bitter-sweetness if Lucanis becomes the fan favorite romance just like how Varric is the favorite BW is squeezing the blood out of until there's nothing left. They can't repeat that same shade of success a third time. I want her legacy to be a ghost that haunts whoever made the call and when the round of obligatory congratulations goes around, there's a deafening silence when if they purposely leave out her name. Regardless, Marry's already been paid for all the work she did on Veilguard and now it's the recognition I'm worried about.

I don't know if the folks who got laid off's correct severance pay got resolved though, last I checked 14 were suing the company about this time last year

the joy of ignorance

part 1 | the joy of ignorance

pairing: Connor x f!Reader

summary: “Solitude matters, and for some people, it’s the air they breathe.”

warnings: none

notes: it’s my first fanfic so please, be patient with me. also, after this one, the chapters are going to become excruciatingly long, so buckle up!

The first reports were not alarming. They were accounted for as simple mechanical disturbances, which, in all cases, proved to be unavoidable. Although seemingly impossible expectations were set for all employees, even that was no guarantee that an android wouldn’t make irrational decisions as a result of a possible faulty code. The rudimentary cases, which could hardly be called violent, seemed to be random, and the company made sure to provide adequate compensation to the victims. The deviant androids were recalled — citing maintenance procedures — and owners were sent a new, flawless model, assuring them that no inconvenience would occur again.

It was easy to sweep the problems caused by incompetent robots under the rug: they were deactivated, then sent to a landfill and they forgot that they ever existed. There were no reports of unfortunate malfunctions, and owners didn't ask questions after the replacement of their previous Androids.

You spent years perfecting your designs. In the beginning, you only dared to entertain the idea that robots would be an integral part of your lives, but lately, your dreams became reality, and you watched - almost mesmerized - as your world radically changed. Androids were designed to obey and assist humans. Elijah Kamski's masterpieces fulfilled the role they were assigned. Within a strict framework, they behaved mechanically and, unlike humans, they did not need food or sleep, so they were available every minute of the day. You had a key role in the creation of many types, and after the head of the company - Elijah - resigned from his position, in exchange for a quieter life, in his words, you took over the control over the production of Cyber ​​Life models.

The threat of the androids' ever-increasing deviance loomed over you like a shadow, threatening that at any moment, one wrong decision on your part would unleash a wildfire beyond your control.

The Cyber ​​Life Tower was located in an area outside the city, hiding it from the prying eyes of Detroit. The monumental building with its forty-nine floors was tasked with completing several procedures, including the production of the machines and the implementation of rudimentary experimental processes. You often didn't even go home, your rural, two-story house was a seemingly endless distance away, and you, yourself, found it difficult to leave the protective walls of your office. The tower was guarded by hundreds of soldiers, ensuring that no one could get in or out without monitoring. You were initially uncomfortable by the over-the-top security measures, but after the recent events, you felt relieved. They made sure that no one would think of attacking the tower: it would have been a suicide. The androids had a great risk assessment ability, they were able to determine with percent accuracy how much danger each scenario entailed, and in the case of the Cyber ​​Tower, it was high. Not only the guards were a threat, the premises were protected by numerous hindrances: the workers were identified based on their voice and DNA, and they could only pass through the gates at the entrance with a hologram card.

You felt lost. With glassy eyes, you scanned the endless skyscrapers of Detroit while twirling the pen in your shaking hand. You could have left the building at the end of your working hours, but you decided to stay. Starring the papers scattered on your table, you were sure that you wouldn’t be able to get through them before morning. Passing by your office, many cast questioning glances at the pile of paper, mainly because by then, digital notebooks had become widespread, and they would have made your work significantly easier, but you were unable to bring yourself to break free from your habits. You didn't want to give up the feeling as you ran your ballpoint pen over them, and you liked to believe that you were doing a more efficient job this way. Getting your thoughts down required more attention than a simple touch transfer to a tablet.

You looked up at the sound of the TV mounted on the wall. The news channel served as background noise, but the announcer's words rang bittersweetly in your ears.

“More complaints about deviant androids have been received by the Detroit Police Department. An AX400 shot its owner with a loaded gun, and a RK200 attacked a young woman with her bare hands. We all ask the question: can we feel safe in our own home? Let's switch to reporter Joss Douglas from Detroit, who will cover the details of the chilling events.” The reporter's voice blurred into the soft, constant humming noise of the ventilation system.

You shook your head in resignation and turned off the device with a firm motion.

✇

The hours stretched into each other, and you didn't even realize when the first rays of the sun forced their way through the gaps of the curtains, lighting up the office. Your eyes felt heavy, your arms laid numb on the table, and you sometimes had to shake your head to keep yourself awake. It was these moments that made you truly understand that this wasn’t just a job for you. You considered it your mission to create androids that would not only make living easier, but also shape the future.

The ringing of your phone pulled you out of your thoughts. Glancing down at your wrist, you noted that, given the early hours, it seemed unreasonable for a Cyber ​​Life employee to be looking for you.

You pressed the accept button with a small sigh.

“[Name], how can I help you?“

"Good morning, ma’am! I apologize for bothering you so early, but it’s an urgent issue. I'm Jeffrey Flower, Chief of the Detroit Police Department.“

You winced involuntarily.

"Please, continue.” your voice seemed unnaturally high, despite the fact that you tried to sound determined.

“It‘s about the deviant androids, but I can't say more than that. I would like to discuss the details in person, ma’am”

Fowler's succinct wording only raised more questions and alarm bells went off in your mind.

"Excuse me, sir, but I believe you're talking to the wrong person. I'm not in charge of the press department. I can transfer your call if you want me to.”

After a few seconds, Fowler spoke again.

"I know who you are. And I’m also sure that you are the one who can help us. Please just listen to what I have to say. You can still refuse my offer after that”

It crossed your mind to just hang up the call without an answer, but your ever-increasing curiosity proved to be stronger.

"This morning?" you asked.

"I can see you in my office at half past eleven.”

You nodded cautiously, even though Fowler couldn't see it.

”I'll be there.” you swallowed your uneasy questions. “Goodbye Mr. Fowler.”

Ending the call, you couldn't help but wonder how significant it was that the police specifically wanted to talk to you out of all people.

The cause of your worry was far from something preventing you from talking openly about the company and the machines they designed. Unlike most, you weren't held back by a strict NDA, but you still had a strange sense of loyalty tied to Cyber ​​Life, the company which gave you a life, gave you a chance to start over and prove you were more than a programmer. Through the company, you were able to make your dreams come true, and for that, you owed them endless gratitude.

You couldn't explain why, but you were deeply dreading the meeting with Fowler.

dragon age veilguard review embargo thoughts. no spoilers. in sum: i am so sad. i did see it coming but i must admit that a part of me was hoping that the reviews after the embargo would bring me a spark. it didn't & i'm so sorry to my da mutuals who are excited about the game. i wish that was me as well.

while i can't forget the way that ea selectively did not hand out review codes to those who were more critical of the game after the preview event, i do think that from a financial standpoint the game will be the w that the studio needs to persist. of course ea's actions piss me off, but that's not on bioware or on the game. it is ea, the publisher, who conducts this part of the marketing. i do urge everyone to wait for reviews to drop possibly late next week for purchasing decisions. it is a known fact that ea has had a heavy hand on the review scale.

quite frankly, it is a miracle that the game is coming out at all, and i wholeheartedly commend the workers at bioware and the writers who have since then been laid off without fair compensation for their hard work. if you asked me two years ago, i would tell you that the game wouldn't happen at all. i love the environmental visuals and the art direction, although there are specific design philosophies that i dislike (namely, the darkspawn and playable qunari looking like that AND different from the other, properly qun qunari we see. i see bioware failing yet again to be normal about the qun). i love the effort the team put into the granular difficulties (and i see that one can, indeed, customize enemy hp. nightmare difficulty should not have scaled enemy hp up because all i see is everyone complain that nightmare is hp sponge fest, but luckily one can create a reduced enemy hp nightmare mode), and customizable hud.

it is however not a dragon age game that i currently see myself enjoying. from every preview material there was something about the tone of the writing that didn't sit right with me. i never expected the game to be purely grim, because no bioware game ever was. and i always appreciated the levity in a shitty world. to me it was always more that the writing felt insecure to me, in a sense that it over-expositions, over-explains itself. it needs to explain itself in no ambiguous terms, and to me it felt hamfisted in the snippets shown by various reviewers. nuance and ambiguity have largely been erased. consequences are spelled out to you in no uncertain terms; the game affirms what will happen based on your choices in a way that quite frankly takes me out of the experience. and as someone who plays rpgs for the immersion and ambiguity in both storytelling and decision making, this is what tells me that the game is not a game for me. i don't want a game that will take my hand and show me what it wants me to see, the way it wants me to see it. i want a game to drop me in its universe and let me cup my way around as a newborn kitten.

there's two reviews i'd like to highlight. one is mortym's, with whom i have historically disagreed on the matter of dragon age, but wholeheartedly respect. he is not a story and themes and romance guy, but i appreciate his holistic approach to game systems, and in that regard the game really impressed him to the point he considers it to be his goty. the other is skill up, who i mostly watch for his weekly roundup, but whose reviews i tend to enjoy for the way he explains his positioning, whether i agree or disagree. surprisingly, shill up did not show up. he spends a lot of time going over the art direction, which i did like, unlike him. but his criticism on the writing was the only one other than the guardian's review that mirrored my own perspective.

it's not the game i would like to play, but it is shaping to be the one that bioware needs right now.

Happy At Home is unlocked but I still found something to rant about: https://www.patreon.com/posts/113187075

☢️ It's Patch Day and the Happy At Home fiasco is finally resolved, with a catch. - A short rant that I'll expand later if necessary. I need to update my mods.

TL;DR: As expected, EAxis managed to !@#$ up even this and I'm still using my FOMO Unlock mod. You can keep it or remove it, it's up to you. Happy At Home is unlocked, it's just not unlocked properly.

The catch is that instead of removing the lock code to truly unlock the items, the way I did in my FOMO Unlock, they instead... did some other !@#$. I think they added the entitlement data to our account data, the way Reaper's entitlement data is added to our account data.

Why is this an issue? Well, I'ma tell it to ya'!

Happy At Home has always had an additional problem. The reason I made the FOMO Unlock was because the INI modification never worked 100%. Something has always been missing, and that something results in the Happy At Home CAS items constantly regaining the NEW CONTENT gold badge. You just have to switch categories in CAS to see it pop back up again and again and again and again, ad infinitum.

This is a MINOR issue, very, very MINOR, but it's an issue, an unnecessary issue, and whatever neurodivergence I have makes it an irritating issue. It's an irritating issue because I know it's an unnecessary issue. I know that if EAxis did what I did to FOMO Unlock Happy At Home- heavy sigh.

Barring them somehow removing the entitlements from our account data, this is the last time I will rant about Happy At Home.

Now let's talk briefly about these patch notes: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/news/update-10-1-2024

Is it narcissism?

I know I have narcissistic tendencies - I was "raised by" a toxic narcissist, but I'm not talking about me.

Almost a year after the Always-Online Sim City (2013) scandal of lies and bullshittery, EAxis released an offline patch, framing it as a gift to the community, as though they hadn't pathologically lied up to and after the release of Sim City (2013) about Always-Online being a core concept of the game that the game simply couldn't work without. Always-Online is what killed the Sim City franchise, because EA, despite being an estimated $37.9 BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY, refuses to invest in proper servers. Folks don't really understand or accept that The Sims 4 (2014) suffers from server woes but it does and it's why going offline in App and game is a form of troubleshooting. It's why the idea of a future Sims game having "Online features" terrifies me.

More recently, CD Projekt Red lied about the state and features of Cyberpunk 2077, released it before it was ready, and since then have proceeded to gaslight anyone who criticized the state of the game or them for their pathological lying.

"We changed how Event rewards are stored with our September 18 update. After this change, we learned that some Simmers are missing rewards they earned through the Happy At Home Event we ran earlier this year." - THE BUG REPORT IS THREE MONTHS OLD. I WAS PRESENT AND INVOLVED. WERE THEY NOT INVOLVED? IS ANSWERS HQ JUST A WATERING HOLE THEY STOP BY ONCE EVERY THREE MONTHS?

"The addition of the Happy At Home Event rewards with today’s update are a one-time make good to thank you for your patience as we continue to work on, and improve, Events in The Sims 4." - IT'S ALMOST AS THOUGH EA ISN'T A 42 YEAR-OLD COMPANY SPECIALIZING IN GAME DE- WAIT, WAIT, WAIT, ARE WE PRETENDING WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE THREE MONTH OLD BUG REPORT OR ARE WE ADMITTING WE KNEW AND JUST DID NOT A FUCK?

Should I explain to the people how easy it is to unlock these FOMO rewards, because it doesn't require entitlement data and it certainly doesn't require THREE MONTHS of "improvements" and- by "patience" do they mean stating the event is over and there's nothing to be done, or removing all actual solutions, temporarily banning simmers for helping other simmers and calling it disruptive spam, telling me they believe "Gaming is for everyone.™" while- y'know, they could've just said, "we're working on improving future events and making them account-bound and we will unlock Happy At Home for everyone in a future patch, please bear with us." It ain't that !@#$in' hard, but it would've required them acknowledging they !@#$ed up.

Say, are we on a three-month issue resolution cycle? If so, can I expect a half-arsed "fix" for our bodies in a month's time? - https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Spine-distortion-on-male-Sims-with-female-frame/td-p/13895791

As a part of the Leo SBDP event, let's have a look at some Leo-themed modding and textures. People who aren't into modding DBH but are curious about what goes on behind the scenes, this is for you! If you have any modding curiosities or questions, please read my mod diary.

Leo has 3 models which we can see in the game. They are, in order: LEO_DAY01 (beanie), LEO_NIGHT01 (blue shirt), and LEO_EXT01 (big coat "external").

Each model had a string of code that the game reads in order to make him *exist*. Here they are! LEO_DAY01 associated data container: 00 00 00 1D 00 00 00 01 00 00 06 33 7D 40 C0 00 00 A8 E7 F9 00 93 C4 7E 00 00 00 0B LEO_NIGHT01 associated data container: 00 00 00 1D 00 00 00 01 00 00 05 FB 45 70 78 00 00 A5 55 0C 00 93 53 3E 00 00 00 0C LEO_EXT01 associated data container: 00 00 00 1D 00 00 00 01 00 00 1B 82 4F 14 D8 00 00 9E 9A EA 00 93 21 86 00 00 00 14

Leo seems to share certain textures between models. Let's have a closer look and break down what each model looks like in its separate textures!

LEO_DAY01 :

I'm assuming this model has more textures because he has a beanie, and that beanie isn't shared between models.

LEO_NIGHT01 :

For Leo's outfit in Broken, you can see his dark jacket named E646, but that's only the colour map.

LEO_EXT01 :

The strange green maps in Leo's textures are called normal maps and they determine the light reflection without editing the geometry of the model. The colour maps are texture maps like Leo's face, teeth, and clothes. Leo seems to wear the same jeans in each model!

Here is a close-up of cool textures:

For anyone wondering what his necklace(s) looks like, these are the converted .png textures close up!

I hope you enjoyed this post! <3 What's your favourite Leo outfit?

Helo o/ I like your bike mod really much. I'd like to know a few things about it:

Is it possible for you to make sims use their preferred/linked bikes autonomously (rather than using 'bike here') when they choose a destination that is, under vanilla conditions, likely to be reached by a bike on road?

Is it possible to make it so that bikes are ridden on the side of roads (not sidewalks) instead of in the middle of them?

I saw a TS4 footage that had a spellcaster use her broom similar to bikes. Well... What do you think about brooms in TS3?

And in summary: Will you update the bike mod?

Hi and glad you are enjoying the bike mod.

To answer your questions

This is something I've been thinking I want to take another crack at. If there is some kind of event triggered when sims decided to route then yes, it could be possible. If not, then most likely not unless I turn this into a core mod and completely rewrite routing in the game. When I created the mod I was unable to do autonomous routing with the bike. But maybe one day I'll take another look.

When it comes to land routing there are two ways to route either vehicle (drive at a street) or sim (walk at sidewalk). The bike (when using bike here), uses the sim routing. And because EA coded sims to walk in the middle of the side walk that is why the bike also uses the middle of the side walk. Again, this might not be something editable unless this is a core mod and routing is re-coded.

I hate them, but somebody did once ask if this mod could be used with brooms and if I ever make an update I might do a broom option.

Maybe in the far future, but it's not on my lists of things I'm going to work on right now.

Also as a note if somebody more talented or enthusiastic wants to take the bike code and re-do it better I'm all for sharing the code and you don't even need to give me credit if you don't want to.

I'd be happy to see a more versatile version of this mod, because I know it's not perfect. Also if somebody could make all routing use this bike (if it's in the inventory), it would be much more usable in roadless worlds.
