File Two: Prologue 1 - “Storm Outage”

——————————

Setting: Three years before the present time, one of the last weeks before summer break, in an unnamed middle school during a thunderstorm

Characters, in order of first mention:

Ren Kawasaki - the middle school history teacher

Sumireko Usami - second-year representative of Higashifukami High School who was sent to another local middle school for extra credits (Cameo)

Hinako Takahara - insists on flipping the breaker after the suggestion was made

Haruka Tsukikaze - accompanies Hinako on their trip down the hallway

Farce Bloom - the bioluminescent shade butterfly, a “Denier”

Nozomi - the blue-white bunny in the closet

Shion Moyomi - the middle school’s janitor

Void Fox - ?????

——————————

“Wake up Usami… USAMI!” The teacher’s voice shook the room like a thunderbolt like the thunderstorm outside.

“Eh?! Oh… it’s...” What a rude awakening for Sumireko that was. “…the answer is the Bushido Code.”

“Correct. But I expect you to stay awake in class. How else are you going to set an example for the middle schoolers?”

“By answering questions about the past?”

“And retaining that knowledge as well. This is all part of what it means to be a model student who’s representing your school.”

“Understood. How else am I going to grow up one day to be a-” And that’s when the power went out with a flash and a rumble, paired with the slowing whir of LED lights and the screams of a bunch of middle schoolers crowding around Sumireko as the oldest student in the room. She was just there to give an explanation on what to expect from high school, and now she’s found herself in the middle of a power outage.

“Oh, great.” The teacher exclaimed as he picked up his cell phone. “It’s just a rolling power cut. Nobody panic, I’m going to make a few calls to check in on the other classes.”

“Are you sure about that?” Sumireko mused. “The breaker must’ve flipped because of a grid overload caused by the lightning storm outside, so why don’t we just go down there and flip them all on again?”

“I’ll go,” said one of the other students in the class.

“Hinako? Are you sure? You know the breaker room is off-limits to the students.” The teacher was caught off guard by the suggestion. It could work, but if anyone got hurt because of this, it was his head.

“I’m positive. Let me get a flashlight and I’ll go flip it back on.”

“If you insist, and you’re willing to go despite the risks… then you’ll need to buddy up.”

Hinako thought about it for a bit and gestured to the student she was seated next to. “Did you wanna go with me, Haruka?”

Haruka, without missing a single word, stood up and grabbed the flashlight. “Let’s do it, Hinako!” And just like that, they were out the door.”

“Be careful out there…” the teacher murmured under his breath that only they could hear him. “Ooohhh…”

——————————

In the hallway, the two girls walked alone towards the breaker box.

“I’m afraid of the dark,” Hinako shuddered.

“We both knew that since we first met,” Haruka giggled. “But that’s what friends are for, to be there when others are feeling scared or need a bit of encouragement. The breaker room should be around… here, according to what Kawasaki-sensei said.”

“I’ll go first.” Hinako walked in the door leading to the breakers, which was conveniently a janitor’s closet.

Haruka started to walk in after her when the door seemed to swing shut on its own, the lock engaging shortly after. “Huh?!” She tried the handle. “It’s not opening…!” She could hear Hinako screaming on the other side of the door, trying to find the switch that’d turn the lights back on. “Hold on, I’ll get the janitor. Just be strong for me until I get back, okay?”

“Okay…!”

——————————

In the closet, Hinako stood alone, feeling her way along the wall before encountering what could only be described as a bioluminescent figure made entirely of shade, calling out to her.

“No…! What are you?!”

The shade called out to her again, “̴̼͓̓̈́W̴̧̐͝ͅh̷͇͊ă̷͇t̷̟̬́̈ ̵̭͖͗a̶̞̲̾̉r̸̫̝̀ẹ̴̆ ̶͇̈̕y̶̯͑o̸̥͕̅u̵̟̙̾́ ̶͚͉̂ḁ̶͋̐f̷̳͠ṙ̴̲͉͑á̸̱̙i̵͂͜d̶͔̯̏̓ ̵̘̈́̀ò̶̙̱͆f̶̟̓̅ͅ…̸͉͎̔̍?̶̲̇”̴̼̥̚

“Y-y-you!” Hinako backed away from the shade towards the breaker as she tripped backwards over something else. “Get away from me, I have a flashlight!” She did not have a flashlight in her hand, since she dropped it after stumbling.

“Hey, HEY! Watch the fur, buster!” A third voice seemed to echo from somewhere in front of her.

“Huh…?! Another person? Where are you?” Sounds of plastic scraping across linoleum tile echoed towards her as something tapped her foot.

“Left foot. Your flashlight.”

Hinako grabbed the flashlight and shone it in front of her, revealing a small blue-white bunny. “Now you see me, yes?”

She then turned her flashlight to the bioluminescent light behind her only to see it as a near-featureless black butterfly, growling as it approached. “̶̜̞̍̐̓̊̚I̷̹͛ẗ̴͓͙̓̌͘ ̸̻́͠s̷͙̫͑̽̆p̸̣͒̈̾ḛ̷̡̩̑̍͜a̷̡͍̝͍͋̂̆k̸̨͓̹̱̪͗s̷̨̡̩̣̻̆̋̐̌̓ ̴̡͕͎̙̟̄͗ô̴̢̨̡͎͗̍f̷̠͛̈͛̒͠ ̴̡̡̛͓̏̋̐̃l̶̳͕̓̾̕͜i̴̢͓̍̑͊͌e̴̼̞͔̜͝s̴̡̝̯̣̃͆̍͠…̸̨̟̮͑̍͜͜ ̷͎̟͌͐͂̕d̶͎̜̿͝ŏ̷̦̹͉̽͗̐͠n̸̯̦͉̆̃̓͘’̴̣͈͐̄̕ẗ̵̞̤̮́̍̍̋́ ̵̨̌̊̒͠l̵̮͐͗̉̒̍ḯ̶̬͕̦̔̈͗̇s̴͙̝͎̭̮̒̂̏t̴̢͉̮̥͙̉é̵̢̻̤͚̌ņ̵͙͙͓̫̆̽̿͝ ̸̡̛͉̞͙̈́̅͘t̶͖̦͂͛͒́́ȏ̶̯̙̞̙̞́͝ ̵̘͝i̴̫͈̙̪̎̐͂̐͐t̶̛̺̻̐.̶̖̱̍͊́̋͂”̸͉̖̹̈́͌͘̕͜͝

“What is that thing?” Hinako turned away from it as it seemed to pound the floor and crawled toward her.

“That shadow is what’s called a Denier.”

“A what?”

The bunny’s voice echoed as the so-called Denier prepared to lean into an attack. “Deniers are twisted embodiments of those who deny the truths that they’ve been told, sending the host into the form of their monstrous shadowy abyss of denial that they can use to make everyone else miserable… ya know… if they don’t permanently silence you first. Their actions are driven by enforcing their wildly irrational beliefs and what they want to be true, and dispatching anyone else who says otherwise.”

“But isn’t there a way to get through to them?” Hinako asked the bunny meekly, clearly afraid of what she just heard compared to the shadow that was closing in on her.

“Yep!” The bunny chirped. “That’s what Seekers are for!”

“Seekers? What exactly are they seeking with these monsters?”

“Seekers are humans with magical powers that vanquish Deniers by deducing truths to unsolved mysteries hidden in the shadows. Real good gig for kids your age, and I can make you one if you want it!”

The Denier snarled as it flapped and threw Hinako against the wall. She turned to the bunny saying, “…I’ll do it. What do I have to do?”

“Oh, but that’s not for me- the great Nozomi- to ask. Instead, I’ll ask you this. What’s one question that’s been burning out the back of your brain since you could ever think?”

“Uhh… that’s…”

“Come on, there’s gotta be something in your life you’ve struggled to answer yourself! Just tell me!”

———————————

The door rattled from the other side as Shion- the school janitor- searches for the right key to unlock the door.

“No… that’s not it…”

Haruka stammered in horror. “This is bad. Really, really bad. Hinako-san’s been afraid of the dark for as long as I remembered. What if she has a panic attack?”

“There’s the one. I’ll just need you to move over so I can open the door…” Shion unlocked the door as a rush of darkness blew through the hallway, revealing nothing but a nine-tailed shadow fox. It leapt away from Haruka and Shion after a brief snarl, leaving nothing in sight except for one lightbulb in the closet, which was now running on backup power. Shion flipped the breaker and the fox shadow disappeared without a trace.

“H…Hinako-san…”

“Hmm… That’s not good. Meet me in front office and we’ll sort this incident out with the police.” Shion put the keychain back in her pocket and motioned for Haruka to follow her. “Don’t worry about it too much, they’ll find something that’ll tell us how she vanished…” *snap* “…like that.”

Introducing the Doo Doo Save File - Version One!

Disclaimer:

This save is still very much a work in progress. While most things appear to be complete (such as builds), there's still a lot to be done. So, keep that in mind. Also, I tried my best to playtest everything, but this is a HUGE save. So, it's possible I missed things. If I did, feel free to let me know!

TOU:

Please don't claim as your own. Don't reupload my builds as your own. Basically, don't be weird. Just give credit please as this took centuries to do lol.

Special Thanks!

EDIT: Ahhh! Big thank you to @lasabarcassims for helping me set up SimFileShare! Please check out their save as well. It’s amaaaazing.

Shout out to @aaliyahnavI @doit4thesims @forever-lbsims @senselesssims for playtesting this monstrosity. I greatly appreciate you all!

Thanks to @simmerapple (gallery: ImpossibleBelle) and @simkuza (Gallery: Mimilagu) for checking out the save and sending some of their amazing sims to use!

Lastly, I want to thank everyone for their continued support and encouragement! When I started this thing, I was just bored and looking for a way to improve my game. I honestly did not expect to finish it, nor did I expect so many of you to care lol. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It's still very rough around the edges, but I hope it brings you some enjoyment!

Also, don't hesitate to tag me in any posts! I want to see my precious Doo Doo brought to life!

Doo Doo V1 (with rentals - updated): download here!

Alt. DL here!

Doo Doo V1 (without rentals - outdated): download here!

Alt. DL here!

MORE INFO AND SCREENSHOTS BELOW:

Here is an overview of everything:

16 worlds redone (Mt. Komorebi, Sulani, Selvadorada, and Tomarang still need some TLC)

Some updated townies with lore, relationships, jobs, etc. etc.

New townies!

New clubs and holidays

LOTS of packs used, so not BG friendly

For Version 2, I hope to finish this save completely. When will that be? That's a good question lol

What's not included:

All the packs - I don't own (and probably never will lol) HSY, Werewolves, Lovestruck, and MWS. Also missing most of the kits.

Specialty lots (i.e. police station, magic realm) won't be touched until Ver. 2

CC, Mods, and Tips

If you want the townies’ relationships to stay intact, I HIGHLY recommend downloading MCCC. If not, you shouldn’t have any issues playing the save, but some relationships will eventually be deleted due to the culling system.

I did use one piece of CC, but it is absolutely not required in order to download this save. It's the Modern Family Portrait by RAVASHEEN! Download only if you want some cute portraits of the families.

For this save, I grouped some of the worlds together. You don't have to play this way, it's just a note to consider:

Oasis Springs, Del Sol Valley, and StrangerVille

Newcrest, Willow Creek, and Magnolia Promenade

Windenburg, Forgotten Hallow, Glimmerbrook, and Henford

San Myshuno, Brindleton Bay

San Sequoia and Evergreen Harbor

The other worlds? They're just on their own for now.

PHOTOS!

ALL FOR THE GAME!!

The first time I posted about the concept of doing a sports anime piece with the aftg cast was October 2021 based on this post by @impavid-ish from July 2020 (yes I did go digging for the original post.)

I posted the "sketch" version in June 2022 and told myself that eventually I'd finish it and give it the full color treatment. Well, I finally did that - two years later.

(The design is up on my Redbubble if anyone’s interested)
