By the afternoon, Brandi gets the chance to meet some of the neighbours passing by her home (she's a social butterfly after all). She's thinking that marrying Mortimer would put an end to all her problems, but I don't think her friend Dina would be pleased.

Brandi: You're the richest one in town, right?

Cyd also visits her to ask about the new baby.

Sensing Mortimer's presence, Dina doesn't take long to show up too. Meadow Thayer also stops by to ask about Dustin.

Brandi: He just left for work, but you're welcome to wait for him inside if you want.

Fake Bella also senses Mortimer's presence, but she will never get to fool him of all people.

more lore brainstorming, again about another suspicious death.

There are so many great theories abt Skip Broke's death. Did Brandi kill him for insurance money? Did his life of crime finally catch up to him? Was it his time-traveling self / evil clone !!?

But what if it was something as simple as....a few unpaid bills and an accident turned cover-up?

Set the scene, Skip Broke is enjoying a relaxing soak in his tiny pool when....the Repo-man shows up. Uh-oh, looks like the Brokes were behind on their bills again. Oh well, there goes the TV, Skip thinks. Except, no. This time the Repo-man goes for the pool ladder.

Leaving Skip stranded the Repo-man continues to repossess a few more items while Skip panics as his needs decrease to fatal levels. When the Repo-man returns outside it's to find a grave beside the pool. Not wanting to get in trouble, he quickly pops the grave into his inventory and flees the lot.

Later, Brandi comes home from work and she just knows Skip is dead the way sims close to one another always do. However, finding no grave in sight she immediately becomes suspicious. She calls the authorities, and like Dina with Michael, claims someone did something, but once again the cops are useless and don't believe her! Instead they make assumptions and decide Skip must have skipped out on his family and run off with someone else, faking his death. After all, there is no gravestone and there's always a gravestone. Besides, a murder investigation? That means more work, and if there's anything SimCity cops hate it's work.

Repo-man has never been caught and continues to live comfortably in SimCity, going around to all nearby towns to gleefully repossess their items.

Eventually, Dina and Brandi become close friends, unlikely pair that they are, as they bond over the mysterious deaths of their husbands and the ineptitude of the SimCity Police Department. Together they start a support group for Family of the Mysteriously Disappeared and Deceased. With funds from Dina's days as a reality TV star and a hefty donation from Mortimer Goth after the disappearance of Bella, the group hires Detective Dan D. Mann to look into these disappearances...

The DELETED Sim From The Sims 2! | Viola Monty 😱

- Viola Monty is a deleted Sim from The Sims 2, specifically from the neighborhood of Veronaville, whose existence is less known compared to Bella Goth.

- The narrative surrounding Viola includes eerie elements such as dead Sims with bios, and a character named Olivia Monty who is depicted as faking a pregnancy.

- Viola is believed to have lived at 111 Stratford Street, which is connected to her family, including her parents and siblings, indicating her intended role in the game.

- Evidence of Viola's existence can be found in the game's code, where her character number is placed between those of her parents and siblings, suggesting she was created as part of the family.

- Viola's physical appearance is speculated based on her parents' characteristics, with references to her having blond hair, dark skin, and possibly green or light blue eyes.

- The names Olivia and Viola are linked to Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night," reinforcing the theme of Shakespearean inspiration in Veronaville.

- The lead producer of The Sims 2 Jonathan Knight acknowledged the possibility of Viola's connection to "Shakespeare in Love," suggesting her deletion may have been influenced by thematic considerations.

- The dynamics of Veronaville's families are analyzed, hinting at potential relationships between Viola and other characters, particularly with Tybalt, who lacks a romantic partner.

- Relationship data from SimPE indicates that Viola's grandparents recognize her as a grandchild, while her immediate family does not, hinting at intentional removal of her connection to them.

- The community continues to celebrate Viola through fan art and discussions, highlighting her enduring legacy despite her deletion from the game.

New Goth: Chapter 4, Part 4

Harvestfest wraps up

CW: Mentions of death Content Warning Guide

Savannah is the twin in pink with hair clips Mercedes is the twin in blue without hair clips

Full family photo! Then Milton decides that while everyone is here he may as well show them the puppet show he’s been working on.

Rahul: What is it called

Milton: School

Cassandra: I think I’ll have to watch from a seat if that’s okay

Savannah: Mama has a baby inside so she needs to be careful

Mercedes nods halfheartedly while Milton slips on the puppets and begins his tale.

The show isn’t all that bad. Of course at creativity level 3 it isn’t all that good either… There are a few funny jokes in it that make the Chopra’s laugh though, Rahul is the best audience a kid could want. Alexander and James are using the time that Milton is being watched to work out in the home gym. They’ve already seen many versions of this puppet play from Milton. Hamlet hangs around for a while hoping for a pat but the viewers seem engrossed.

In the end Milton receives a round of applause from the family.

Savannah: We should have a puppet theatre

Mercedes: Why

Savannah: We could do stories together

Mercedes: But we can do that with dolls. Why change

Rahul: You’re not a big fan of change are you Mercedes

Mercedes: No papa. But I would like a treehouse

Rahul: *laughs* Come on you two, we should find Uncle Alexander and Uncle James and thank them before we leave

Savannah: Why

Rahul: Good manners that’s why. Now come along

Savannah: I’d like an older cousin

Mercedes: I don’t want one to boss us around like Milton does

Milton: I heard that

Rahul: Girls, I said now!

Twins: *quickly standing* Yes papa

As they leave the library Milton sighs and turns to Viola.

Milton: Did you have a good time Viola

Viola: Ye ye, gooey. Ug?

Milton hugs the toddler who is happy with the attention. Alexander and Cassandra walk in talking and the youngest Chopra is scooped up.

Cassandra: We better be getting back to Henford

Alexander: Before storytime? I need practice

Cassandra: I doubt a teen would like you reading to them but what do I know. I think my ones are getting tired, and I may need a nap myself

Alexander: Take care of yourself sis

Cassandra: I will, and if I don’t Rahul does

The rest of the day passes quickly. Alexander has joined the critic career with his eye on being a food critic, finding it a great way to combine his literature degree with his cuisine hobby. James takes care of chores around the house since he is a neat sim after all. Alexander practices his research and debate until he hits level 4, coincidentally enough the level he needs for promotion. James meanwhile spends some time playing games online with Joey, Keira and Marta.

Milton looks at this toys again before bed. He’s glad Alexander got them for him, he’d missed them. Who knows if Bella’s journals would provide any answers as to where she was, but he wanted to keep trying. He only had one mummy, and he missed her every day. Of course in the middle of the night he woke up from a bad dream and realised the way to protect himself was clear, bear suit! Before we knew it Monday was here and Hamlet was waking everyone up accordingly.

James decided to spend the day doing something he loved, fishing! He invited the club around to check out the stream that ran along the edge of the property. It had begun to snow but with no ice the fish should be biting. I had hoped they would all deposit themselves along the stream but nope. Bob decided his time was better spent upstairs watching the culinary channel. Reece caught something! It wasn’t a fish but hopefully his skill has gone up a little.

After school...

James: How was school today

Milton: Good and bad. Can you help me with my project please Uncle James? It's meant to be a volcano

James: Sure, as an ex-teacher I know my way around a fake volcano. Now tell me about school. Why was it good and bad?

Milton: I gave the note from Alexander to my teacher about my costume and she was fine with it

James: But?

Milton: *sighs* Reynaldo and Maria hung out with me but everyone else avoided me

Friendly reminder that the twins go to a different school, I promise they were not avoiding him.

James: Don’t worry about "everyone else", focus on your friends. If they still think you’re awesome enough to hang around with no matter what you want to wear, they’re good ones

Milton: I guess. It’s just hard. People treat me different even before I was in this

James: Milton... your father died and we don't know what happened to Bella. Many of the kids in your class won’t be able to think about what that means, and won’t know what to say about it. Sometimes if people don’t know what to say they’ll say nothing

Milton: I don’t miss father so much now. But I need to know what happened to mummy

James: If you need any help going through those journals I’d be happy to help

Milton: I know but… I want to do it by myself. It helps me feel close to mummy. There, is the volcano done?

James: Almost. Now you have to present it

Milton: Present it?

James: Practice for class. I’ll be a good audience and you'll be prepared for your classmates

Joey decided to swing around for dinner to catch up with everyone. It’s leftover ham from the holiday so everyone ends up feeling a bit dazed. Alexander has to go write another column for work afterwards so James, Milton and Joey put in some gaming time. I’m not sure how Milton does in the bear suit but he’s not sad so we’ll stick with it.

Sims In Bloom: Generation 1 Pt. 24 (Mortimer Goth Marries His Soulmate)

Mortimer and Karl's wedding took place at sunset in the sunroom of their San Myshuno penthouse, with chairs set up under a black altar adorned with red flowers. There were two cakes to choose from and baroque music for the dance floor, and Mortimer’s ex-wife Bella was one of the most enthusiastic guests. That the end of their marriage had been so peaceful was a blessing, and everyone had a great time blending their two families even further.

The whole day would have been perfect, if not for an impromptu city ordinance that everyone wear bags. It was too late to reverse the decision, and though Mortimer and Karl defied the regulation so they could wed without bags on their heads, none of their guests wanted to risk the hefty fine.

River gave Cassandra a promise ring soon after the wedding – one day, when they were both done with their education, he said it would be an honour to be her husband, and he couldn’t wait until they were old enough to make it official. The love between River and Cassandra was so strong, even Neal and Daisy looked at their bond with awe.

Holly spent more time with Kris’ family in Old New Henford after accepting his proposal, and loved bottle feeding the Bells’ mini goat and mini sheep when they weren’t bouncing around the garden, but they were still looking forward to the change of pace in the city after they were finally married.

Spencer’s cat, Victory, had surprise kittens, so Everett and Heather brought their own cats for check-ups while Victory was spayed at Brindleton Pawspital. While there, Heather gave her a wedding bouquet her mother had made, and said she could consider it her something borrowed, if she was still looking. It suited the colour scheme Spencer was planning perfectly, and she loved it.

Everett was relieved, and he felt like all the confusion was finally in the past. But then Heather mentioned the boy she’d met in the city, named Malcolm. Spencer was excited for Heather – she’d been single a long time, and she deserved some romance. But Everett could only fake a smile. It was easy when Heather wanted no one else but him, and he knew that was selfish. His fiancée was standing right next to him, looking forward to becoming his wife. He kept his mouth shut, but when he got home, he went further than Techie Heather and looked online.

Was Everett really ready for what he might find? ->

TS4: "That's Not My Neighbor" Challenge

You've recently moved into a new neighborhood to kickstart your new life of young adulthood and poor decisions. You've only been in your place for a few hours before there's a knock at your door; it's the welcome wagon! How nice! They stay over for a few hours before taking their leave, gushing over how excited they are to have such a good neighbor; however, shortly after they leave, there's another knock at the door. It's your neighbor again. Back so soon? Not to mention, they're acting so strange. You remembered how nice they were, and now, they're being down right rude.. and did Bella Goth always have such piercing blue eyes? You then remember the myths -- doppelgängers is what they called them. You take a step back. You're starting to think that the person at your door is not your neighbor.

Sound interesting? Wanna give this challenge a try? Dope! Let's get into the specifics!

Just a heads up, I'm very privileged to say that I have so many game add-ons and mods that I can't tell nor remember all that is base game or not. Don't feel bad if you can't follow the guidelines exactly. The point is to play your game in a different way and have fun :) Don't stress the specifics. Anyways~

• Make doppelgangers of the neighbors in your world (however many is up to you; I did 15) and your sim and replace them with the sims that "are not currently in the world". This will help ensure that they are in game with as little work as possible. Be sure that you move everyone to the "other households" tab by un-hearting them • Your sim must start of with a bad, awful, or atrocious reputation. Did you really think people were just going to believe you about a Bob Pancakes copy cat? You sound crazy; prove them wrong. Speaking of crazy... • Your sim must have either the paranoid OR the erratic trait. You'd go crazy, too, if you didn't know if you were talking the real person or a copy of them. Not to mention, you probably have a doppelgänger out there, too (spoiler alert: you do). • Your sim must have the nosey OR klepto trait. How are you going to collect evidence otherwise? Even still... • Your sim must have either the socially awkward trait OR gloomy trait. There's not really an eloquent way to say "There are copies of people out there" without people either being put off or giving you a snide "Yeah, they're called twins". It's really depressing when people aren't willing to give you a chance and listen.

• Figure out who your real neighbors are and purge the fakes • Restore your good name • Prove to others that these creatures exist and that you aren't being delusional or hallucinating

• Discover and purge all of the doppelgängers -- Be sure to keep track of how many you've created, because you've gotta find them and win a fight with them in order for them to be "reported" to the DDD • Obtain a paranormal investigation license -- Not just anyone can go monster hunting; you could get yourself killed! It'd be best to approach it with some knowledge. Let people know that you're qualified for this type of stuff! • Restore your reputation to "great" -- Not the highest level of reputation, but still good enough that people are actually willing to be around you for more than 5 minutes when you start rabbling about copies of people walking among you all • Successfully complete a hard level paranormal case -- Prove to the people that you are a pro! No hand-holding here! When you're on the case, there's no chance of failure • Max out the charisma skill -- Smooth talkers can make people believe anything. Not to mention, it makes you more pleasant to listen to • Max out the Vampire Lore skill -- You're not some one trick pony; you can do it all! Of course you know how to handle something as simple as vampires. What monster hunter doesn't? • Turn an occult sim human -- Having super human abilities is cool and all, but some people see it as a curse. Cure an occult sim ... or make them human so they'll never hurt anyone again.

• No cheats for aspiration points! You've gotta work your butt off for that paranormal license! • No money cheats! You can use cheats to move into your home; however, after that, you've gotta work for your money • You must fight (or off) the doppelgänger successfully for it to "get reported" to the DDD within 3 attempts. • If you find a sim and their doppelgänger in the same general area (ex. same room, same building, same festival/event, etc.), you must immediately go home and you cannot go to that world for the rest of the day. You cannot go there even if you're invited there. They can be in the same place, but they cannot be too close -- keep your distance • If you run into your own doppelgänger, it must be on sight every time -- you've gotta fight them; you cannot off them. You're too evenly matched to off them, but you've still gotta assert your dominance. If you lose a fight to them 3 times, it's game over

• If you lose a fight to your doppelgänger 3 times OR if your doppelgänger offs you • If you cannot complete all your objectives within two sim years (14 days a week, per season = 112 days; you can lengthen or shorten this [trust me, depending on how many dopples you have, one year isn't going to be enough, and the regular degular 7 day week is a bit hard because every day has to be productive; I had 15 when I tested this out]) • If you get attacked by a vampire • If you get into a fight with a werewolf and lose • If you lose a fight to any doppelgänger (excluding your own) 3 times • If your sim dies (obvi)

(So you wont screw up the same way I did unless you want to play extreme mode or something)

• Use your gallery as a "reference board" -- it takes a little extra work, but it'll help you remember what your real people look like and their "most prominent" features [or at least what you changed] (ex. Has braces, has a mole on the left side of their chin, light eyes, etc.). Take notes in the description box. • Raise your fitness skill -- this is crucial to tip the fight in your favor; don't let your excitement get in the way! You don't have to be the strongest, just stronger. Make sure you can take the doppelgänger you're trying to "report". Remember: you don't have to get rid of them as soon as you meet them; just don't leave the job unfinished! • Take advantage of your sims wants, aspiration goals, and holiday traditions -- It may be a little tedious/annoying in regular gameplay but for this challenge? It makes farming those aspiration points so much easier! You can get a TON of aspiration points for holidays! • Join a club -- Just because most people are put off by you, it doesn't mean EVERYONE is put off by you. Work on your charisma and reputation naturally. Remember: it's not always what you know but who you know. If they'll associate with you, maybe others will be willing to give you a chance, too. Not to mention, there's perks to being a popular clubs • Attend festivals and events -- Sims from everywhere attend these things, maybe the doppelgängers will show, too. Be careful though! It might be too much to see a sim and their doppelgänger in the same place. You'd have to go home to recover. • Save your game file -- It's a challenge for a reason. It's definitely possible to complete this challenge on the first go, but in the event that you aren't so lucky, and it takes you a couple of tries, save your "setup", and then make a separate save when you actually start the challenge. This will save you so much time when starting over; you won't have to go through the hassle of replacing households with your doppelgängers again.

That's it! Sound simple enough? Give it a try for yourself!

Best of luck to you, and fingers crossed that your sim doesn't get taken out by a stove fire

[enelea]

My take on Dina this time: Last time Dina was the one concocting all the evil schemes. This time, she is just a gold digging opportunist. She does not want to work, but is in love with the selfish pleasures and luxuries wealth brings. She has always been jealous of her sister-in-law, Bella and wanted what she had. So when Don expressed his disdain for the woman, Dina recognized his wounded ego and realized that he must have gotten a rejection. She found out about his little medical scheme and congratulated him on his dastardly, sly plans. Then offered an alliance of sorts. "Give me a child to pass off as Mortimer's" to solidify my inheritance and I will keep your little secret. After all Bella getting held against her will is fine by me. Never really liked her, just had to fake it." Don chuckled with glee. "It would be my pleasure to provide all the pretend Goth children you could ever dream of." And so their scheming alliance begins.

Meet the Goths of Newcrest

Alexander Goth

Traits - Bookworm

Aspiration - Whiz Kid

All Alexander wants is for his family to be whole again. Despite having little to no memories of his mother, her absence is one that he feels deep in his soul. With new stepmother Dina Goth on the scene, he can't help but wonder whether his father would have even given her a passing glance if Bella were still around.

Mortimer Goth

Traits - Bookworm, Snob, Outgoing

Aspiration - Renaissance Sim

Mortimer may be getting on in years, but that's not going to stop him moving on from the disappearance of his wife and finding love again. It's a good thing Dina was right there in front of him and reciprocated his feelings, but is that coincidence suspicious? Mortimer doesn't know, but what he does know is he's besotted with his new life and ready to spend his final years with her in marital bliss.

Dina Goth

Traits - Outgoing, Materialistic, Lazy

Aspiration - Mansion Baron

Dina will be the first to admit that the most attractive quality of Mortimer's is his wallet. So much so, that she even faked being in love with him for the chance to get her hands on his fortune when he passes away. However, time and being treated like a human being and not an object of woohoo desire like with Don Lothario has nurtured her cold heart and allowed genuine love to blossom. Don't let anyone hear that though. She won't hear the end of it from her sister Nina if she finds out.

Will Dina let go of her ambition to inherit all of Mortimer's money when he dies? Can Alexander learn to live with a new stepmother when he longs so much for his biological one to come home? And how much time does Mortimer have left with his new wife before Grim inevitably arrives to escort him to the afterlife?

Goth rotation 1: START!

📌 Inconsistence

* Patrizio Monty hair is black ⚫ in The Sims 2 (as you can see in the in-game storyline photos), but brown 🟤 in The Sims 3. I don't like this inconsistence in The Sims 3 even if TS3 is set A LOT before TS2 in terms of timeline. So, for me his natural hair color is black, NOT brown.

* Olive Specter had brown hair 🟤 as adult but both her parents are black heads. ⚫ People keep insisting that it's not possible, and in this case it's correct. Because she has no grandparents, so no ancestors from whom she could have inherited recessive genes. But only parents.

* Isabella Monty's hair is brown in both The Sims 2 and The Sims 3, but simPE says she has the genetic code for blonde hair. If it wasn't an error by the developers, it would still make sense and it's possible that she could have blonde hair, as she could have inherited it as a recessive gene from her paternal grandmother Julia Pantalone or her maternal grandfather Lucio Zanni.

* Goneril Capp's hair is brown in The Sims 2 and The Sims 3 but simPe says she has the genetic code for red hair. If it wasn't an error by the developers, it would still make sense and it's possible that she could have red hair, as she could have inherited it as a recessive gene from her paternal greatgrandmother Queen Thebe.

The curious fact is that Goneril already show a recessive gene. Both of her parents, Contessa and Consort, are blonde, but she show brown hair because she could possibly have inherited her maternal grandmother Scribonia Capp's brown hair. So, why change the recessive gene shown if the genetic codes still show that she has red hair? Mh, that's very strange!

* Kaylynn Langerak's hair is black in The Sims 2 and The Sims 3, but simPE says she has the genetic code for blonde hair. In The Sims 2, Kaylynn is an NPC and doesn't have a family, so she can't have recessive genes and the only thing you would think is that she dyed her hair, but in The Sims 3 they justified this by giving her a family. Her father Dustin Langerak and her maternal aunt Zelda both have blonde hair, while her mother Iliana has black hair.

* Ophelia Nigmos' hair is naturally blonde on simPe too, but that's a mystery because NO ONE in her family tree has blonde hair.

* Miranda's hair is genetically "custom", meaning that the game does not read it as any natural color (which is also why you cannot change her eyebrows when changing her appearance in the mirror). But her eyebrows are blonde, which means she should be naturally blonde, like her father Albany, her maternal grandparents and half the Capps from her grandpa Consort family tree.

* Hermia Capp's hair is red as her father Caliban and her two siblings Tybalt and Juliette, but simPE says she has the genetic code for blonde. This is not an error. Hermia is naturally blonde since in Beta VV, she was the daughter of Regan and Cornwall and not Cordelia and Caliban. The developers decided to change her hair colors when they made her the daughter of Cordelia and Caliban and probably forgot to change her genetic hair color, but even so, if the player decides to make her blonde even now that she is the daughter of Cordelia and Caliban it would still make sense. Regan is one of Cordelia's sisters, and Cordelia is also blonde, and furthermore, Hermia could have inherited blonde hair from anyone in her family tree.

So yes, Hermia natural color is blonde in vanilla Veronaville, but red in fixed version of the Neighborhood like Meetme fixed template. I like to think she as a red head, so I put her with the red heads.

[themeasureofasim]

She's the one to initiate the flirting, but it doesn't go any further.

Don: I got my ass kicked really hard last night.

Fake Bella: Hilarious!

Don: The real Bella Goth™ is really scary, though.

Don's "scripted events" days end with Dina complaining about the smell at around 2 in the morning.

Don: What's up with you all making me stand in the rain tonight?

Dina: Your place stinks, Don! It's unbearable!

Don: I know, okay? Kaylynn will clean it up in the morning! It's been a rough couple of days. You wouldn't imagine what I've been through.

[liquidstar]

Not sure if we can send more than one but #3 and #16 for your ocverse?

YESS OFC ITS OK THANK YOU SM <3

BUT. IM PUTTING THIS UNDER A CUT BC I TYPED SO MUCH LOL SORRY ANON <3

3.) any recurring images/elements?

Since I just answered a looong drabble abt the anthea converse I’ll answer this one for the polaris one lol

The obvious one is a lot of space and star themes, even the characters designs generally have some sort of little cosmic accessories. Different characters will have their own little sub-motifs, not just in the way they dress but just things that will come up in their story a lot. Like, Polaris herself is a navigator so really anything related to directions (In a more abstract way too, like, she’s lost in life and such), for Saiph, his whole thing can veer on being pretty upsetting but you can always look out for this one Spesific Fucking Knife that’s going to pop up constantly, for Al it’s anything related to halves and opposites, I mean, just look at his hair. For Bella it’s partly her sweet tooth, though it’s also not really about that at all. And for Mira you can aaaalways look out for birds and wings and really anything that flies, oh I hope that doesn’t have any possible negative side effects!!

Anyway I could go on with all the characters (Felis and “lives,” Juno and cracks/breaking, Ain and, well, eyes, etc.) but I think I’ll leave it at these for rn! 

Overall though… A huge huge huge huge huge overarching theme, and I think really the entire point of the story I want to tell with them is… Connection! We’re made of stardust, we’re all connected, people need people to survive. People need connection, no man is an island (Polaris), needing help isn’t a weakness (Saiph), it’s okay to be a burden (Al), vulnerability is a necessity for connection (Bella), people continue to live because of the kindness of others (Mira)

There’s totally a flipside of this too! And other character’s different struggles with it! But again I’d be here all day just listing them all (Not that I’d mind. This is fully for your sake LOL). There are a bunch of smaller themes I’d love to get into, like a lot of the characters arcs are sort of about different types of ego death, sometimes taken in strangely literal ways. And of course the theme of “flaws” being power is important here because of the way that all the characters interconnect into something stronger. And the idea that it’s not somekind of moral failing to be imperfect. But it’s also possible to grow, especially with the help of others. 

AND LOVE! The idea that all love that has ever been and ever will be has always been there. Because, again, we are made of stardust, we are part of the universe. Every moment that you have spent loving something, you have been the universe giving love back to itself. So don’t deny yourself that. 

16.) imagine the entire story takes place but in the meantime the characters all also have tumblr. what kind of (terrible) tumblr posts would happen?

OK silly time. I actually think this concept is so funny so I wanna save it for in case I ever wanna ACTUALLY make fake tumblr posts for them...

So in the meantime here's just what I think their tumblrs would look like

Polaris has not changed her blog theme, icon, or even blog title at all. And she only browses and doesn’t post. She doesn’t understand why she keeps getting blocked.

Saiph comments on EVERY SINGLE FUCKING POST that he reblogs. All of them. No matter what. He needs everyone to know his thoughts.

Al doesn’t use Tumblr and if you saw him reblog old emo music at 3am no you didn’t that was someone else. That was a different Al. Stop asking questions. 

Bella has the most decked out “pastel goth” Tumblr theme ever. She’s so meticulous about it as if it matters. She reblogs edgy moodboards and Kuromi edits. Her Caard is a maze filled with so many blinkies you’ll go blind. She also posts cake.

Mira runs a bird themed gimmick blog. She, like, roleplays as a bird who’s a menace to society. She rbs Bella’s cakes with stuff like “Oh  fuck yes. A little cake for me. *pecks at it*” She’s having fun.

Felis has one of those catgirlbodypart urls. Love her for it of course.

I spent my morning doing a little 18th Century Pleasantview setup. I haven’t decided yet whether it makes more sense to remodel the houses and community lots, or just tear everything down and start fresh as befits a BaCC, and it’ll probably take me some time to figure that out, as well as full rules. For now, I just made over the Pleasant and Goth families, and got them outfitted with secondary aspirations, traits, proper ages, and appropriate LTWs. Although the LTW Chooser doesn’t work correctly when I use it for some reason, and I had to reroll the LTWs until suitable ones came up.

Daniel’s 36.5 years old, with traits Daredevil, Irresistible, Friendly, Supernatural Skeptic, and Dislikes Children. He’s Romance/Fortune with a LTW for Self-Employed Talent (Top Business with maxed related badges.) It’s perhaps not the ideal LTW for him, but it does suit a BaCC founder.

Mary-Sue is 36 years old, with traits Grumpy, Charismatic, Frugal, Avant Garde, and Gatherer. She’s Fortune/Pleasure, and wants to Reach Career Top and Have 3 Children on Top Levels. She refused to not have a career-related LTW. She might not be able to fulfill it; I’m trying to be somewhat historically accurate and she might not even be allowed to get a job.

Angela and Lilith are both 13.25 years old; Angela’s traits are Loves the Outdoors, Great Kisser, Sailor, and Coward, while Lilith’s are Rebellious, Kleptomaniac, Loner, and Unlucky. Angela is Popularity/Family and wants to Maximize Influence and Use It 200 Times. Lilith is Popularity/Romance and wants to have 20 Simultaneous Best Friends (with benefits, presumably).

The Goth family was fun to dress, as they usually are. Mortimer is 50.5 years old, with traits Hopeless Romantic, Family Oriented, Animal Lover, Great Kisser, and Rebellious; which is not what I would have chosen but makes a weird amount of sense. He’s Knowledge/Family with the LTW to Reach Maximum Enthusiasm in 5 Hobbies.

Cassandra is 22.75 years old, with traits Supernatural Fan, Hopeless Romantic, Great Kisser, Shy, and Socially Awkward. She’s Family/Knowledge and wants to have 6 grandchildren. (and as far as I can tell, she’s gonna stay with Don in this universe; there are no real social classes and certainly not yet, and they kept making out and flirting while I was setting things up. Okay then, they’ve made their choice!)

Alexander is 5 years old, with traits Family Oriented, Sailor, and Bookworm. So far he’s gonna be Family/Knowledge, but that might change when he discovers his hobby and so forth.

I don’t know yet what everybody’s going to be doing, but as a historical BaCC they’ll be setting up a Sun&Moon economy. I guess Mortimer has to be the mayor/governor, even though it doesn’t really suit him, but in a BaCC somebody’s gotta do it, and poor Mary-Sue is disqualified for being a woman. I do know I’m going to tie subhood unlocking, plumbing, and electricity to the date. The date’s based on the age mod I use, Hat’s Proportionate Gestation-based Aging, making each day equal to three months, and four days are an aging year. I’m starting the hood on Spring 5, 1751, and the year advances every aging year; each seasonal year (which I might call a cycle instead?) lasts 5 aging years. It’s going to take forever, but it was the least confusing calendar I could come up with.

Some random plans: I’m going to make the Summerdreams be fairies, like I plan to do in the Megakingdom. I think I might roll Townie Bella into play and make her a witch--I saw somebody talk about this plot somewhere and I liked it. With the Hereditary Supernaturalism and Aging Controller mods I’ve got, witches only age once a week and she clearly had to fake her death and leave her family before anybody realized she wasn’t aging and was therefore a witch. The Cordial sisters will also be witches from the start. Acadmie Le Tour will be available from the start, but will be expensive and require travel time, as the Old World college. SSU has to be built with civic funds in the Victorian Era or later, but will be cheaper to attend and has no travel time. La Fiesta Tech can’t be built until after Strangetown (in the 40s), and is pricier than SSU but offers more scholarship opportunities for intelligent and unique students. That, plus “each subhood unlocks at a different era” and “CAS points must first be used on unattached bin families; you may add new CAS sims only when you have the points but no bin families available” are pretty much all the rules I have so far.

Remind me to adjust the camera setting to make the pictures better next time.

I and Y for the Sims ask meme!

I: Your Bella Goth Theories!

YES. Okay, so my headcanon is that Bella (and Michael) are both witches. And in my game, witches are not known of and also live a really long time. To hide this and conceal their existence, after living a natural sim lifespan they're supposed to fake their death and go to magic town until everyone who knew them is gone.

Trouble is, this was Bella's first sim life and she was madly in love with Mortimer. Most witches choose a partner who is also supernatural for this reason - they don't want to lose them.

Bella had to be ordered by the witches council to leave since she wasn't even bothering to hide that she wasn't aging. She did but resented what they made do.

Then she left Magic Town for Belladonna Cove and is currently living in the hidden baba yaga hunt stalking her family :)

Y: Favourite Career

I'm soft for the adventurer career.

[budgieflitter]

thank you sm for the positive feedback on my silly swap au 🥺💖 i see a lot of ppl already interested in the actual playable hood and omg it would be so cool!! idk if i'll ever do it myself tho but if anyone wants to give it a go i would love that!

i don't currently have any plans for any more hood swaps like this but who knows..

also some lil notes on my ideas:

it's implied mortimer actually gets rid of cassandra's fiances bc he thinks they are unfit to marry his daughter. toxic girl dad shit lmao. don was kidnapped by calientes right before his and cassandra's wedding so she thinks he also died of her "curse" (its like reverse annie/nervous situation if you think of it)

i admit i haven't really thought about bella situation.. perhaps the calientes actually helped her fake her death and escape to "pleasant town"

for broke-dreamer i actually sketched darren as the general but then i thought pilot/astronaut is also military branch and it fits more to dreamers' blue color scheme. also these professions are more romantic-like which i think suits darren. not much change to the brokes i guess. not sure about their dead spouses but they're probably buried somewhere at goths �� darren prolly got a crush on cass once but you know it's dangerous to get involved with her at all so

pleasants were not changed much in character tbh, maybe only daniel he seems really chill :) haven't really thought where kaylynn would fit in this au for now

it's implied that jennifer is actually herb's daughter mirroring lola and chloe's situation (yes i wanted to keep the weird ass family tree im sorry) while lucy is the result of john's abduction (who is i guess vidcund lite)

oldies were not really swapped but i like what i came up with for them! adopted a random baby during their escape well good for them

okay this is long but yeah there's still a lot to think about, maybe i'll get to it sometime :) thank you again everyone

WELCOME TO STRANGEVIEW

oh hey its budgieflitter and her swap aus obsession again descriptions are under the cut v

CALIENTE + LOTHARIO = BEAKER When Don got a date with the Caliente sisters, he thought he won a jackpot. What he did not expect, though, was to wake up next morning on an operation table in their basement. Will this test subject last or the sisters will have to look for a replacement soon?

GOTH = SPECTER Turns out not only relatives are buried in local oligarch's graveyard. Ever since Mortimer's wife Bella mysteriously disappeared, he became more reclusive than he already was. She was not the only victim - all of his daughter Cassandra's fiancés seemed to disappear one by one. Will Alexander get used to living with ghosts? Can Cassandra ever find love again?

BROKE + DREAMER = GRUNT Brandi and Darren found comfort in each other after a terrible tragedy struck their families, however it seems this comfort is about to crumble. Darren is determined to reach the stars someday, and Brandi would rather stay close to the ground. Will Dustin and Dirk ever get along? Will little Beau follow his stepfather's footsteps?

PLEASANT = SMITH

Daniel has been fascinated with space ever since his father's Mars expedition hit the news. Good thing he found a woman whose eyes reflect the beauty of the universe itself. Will Angela and Lilith put their differences aside for the family's sake?

BURB = CURIOUS Jennifer is interested in the vastness of universe, but for a different reason her brother is. Where is she from? What really happened on her father's Mars expedition? Was it anything like the experience her husband went through during his abduction? Maybe the answer is much closer than she thinks.

OLDIE

Oldies have been a long-time residents of Strangeview. Unable to fulfill her role as a Birth Queen, Coral escaped with her beloved with a tiny alien aboard. Will Herb realize that the result of his last mission as a Pollination Technician is somewhere nearby? okayyyy i had so much fun making this. the idea hit me literally yesteday and i was on the rideee hope u enjoy ^_^

Follow the full Pleasantview stories here. For those of you who don’t remember, I resurrected most of the Goth family, and my Pleasantview timeline of ages can be found here. Post divorce, Mortimer is devastated by the news of his court case getting out to the world- everybody now believes that Mortimer abused Bella. Alexander stayed with Bella and Skip Broke. Despite knowing that Skip faked his…
