#goth rotation 3

[ifoxsims]

The Goth's.

[stump-not-found]

.

i love the insistence that eyepatch = evil when what it really equals is a functional fashion statement that makes him look soooo badass & not lame at all actually

[gothicmatter]

in my mind these two things are equivalent

PLEASANTVIEW ROTATIONAL GAMEPLAY

► rotation 1-2: cassandra and don got married but she quickly caught him cheating so she kicked him out, gave a birth to their daughter, gabriella, mortimer and dina got married, dina gave birth to baby girl, fallon, and alexander turned into a teenager

goth household, rotation 3

we start the rotation with gabriella's birthday! she turned out lovely

while mortimer was teaching his daughter how to walk, dina focused on getting to know alexander and it looks like they actually get along pretty well (maybe too well)

it was fallon's time to grow up and she looks just like mortimer, i fear dina's genes weren't even fighting lmfao anyway! she also made her first friend, clara (i seriously have too many black haired kids)

all good things must come to an end and with the end of the 3rd rotation mortimer's life also ends. good thing he had time to get to know his daughter and granddaughter before grim reaper paid him a visit

mortimer's death didn't affect dina because not even an hour after he died, she started flirting with his teenager son that ended with alexander's first kiss and both of them falling in love. i don't know if i can defend you anymore, dina 💔 i swear it happened out of my control because i was playing cassandra and all of the sudden i hear first kiss melody and i checked and well . . . things happen i guess (i was so shocked i stopped playing)

anyway, i've decided i'll deal with their romance later

[ollsonline]

hmm i want to draw goth mike 🤔

i actually dropped my phone at this ask ahshhrjf

please do!!!! he is so special!!!!!!!

[starsweepersims]

Well, an attempt was made at Bella. I think she came out alright!

I really struggled to find a good reference for her nose shape from the screenshots that I had, until I realized that one of the high school years trailers had a good reference for her!

I also tried to make her a sort of mix between 2 and 4's, leaning more into 2's.

[fortunegnome]

Don spent the rest of his night playing computer games

-Thus concludes the end of his rotation-

[keytaryourheart]

BABY GIRLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

[sweeneydino]

*BIG INHALE* Hi! I’ve been rotating the Spikeangelo au in my brain for a while, and things might get incomprehensible real quick. Not all questions, some just comments... 90% of this is just musing as the train of thought jumps rails and causes massive casualties; no need to answer all if you chose to answer any.

1. The fact that Master Splinter lets Titan live with them BEFORE he knows that he’s a version of Mikey, even after the attempted murder… man will look at a mutated turtle, ask, “Is anyone going to adopt that?” and not wait for an answer.

2. In Turtle Temper, Splinter says, “Spike, chew on your leaf if you are in the mood for a story”. Ronin has a choice here: pest Raph by eating, or troll Splinter by not. What choice would he make?

3. It seems like during the Slash and Destroy episode, Titan already had his outfit. If so… where did he get the clothes? The little turtles don’t really wear anything (and their clothes would be much smaller), so unless Splinter has a secret goth wardrobe, the only thing I can think of is that Raph is Very Optimistic about how tall he’s going to get, and has stockpiled clothes accordingly.

4. A while back you mentioned Titan “chewing [Shredder] out” after Shredder kills Splinter during the Triceraton invasion. The image you drew made it look like a tirade, but the first thing that came to mind for me was… more along the lines of using Shredder as a dog toy.

5. You said that after Slash and Destroy, Titan hides for a while out of shame. When does he rejoin the others? Before the invasion, *during* the invasion, after? Does he join the farmhouse arc, or does he do as canon Slash does and defend NYC while the rest of the turtles are gone?

Ah... there's a very long part six that's just about the ghosts... I don't think I'll be bothering you with that today.

When I see these types of asks, I can never control the squeal that comes out of my mouth. I love detailed analyses about my aus

:D

I also love completing things, so let's do them all!

1) Yep! Idk whats with the Splinters, but if it's turtle-shaped and needs a home, well say no more!

When Spike turned to Titan, Splinter already sensed something off with him, something more familiar than a family pet, but he would never figure out why until their lair is attacked by the kraang at the start of the invasion.

It's hard not to realize that your son's former pet knows moves (and shows a strange amount of wisdom) that you're 90% sure you never taught or shown to any of your sons.

2)

I think he's still upset about the pizza. Or Raph's anger.

3)Dumpster diving?

I'll be honest, I forgot to write it down... So we will stick to this simple solution for now🗿

4)

Okay, well... Shredder ALMOST became a dog toy. Let's just say that (this will totally not be a future comic)

5) He reunites with them after the newtralizer arc! After a little convincing ofc

When the invasion begins, he's with Splinter and Leatherhead, having defended their home and now searching for the turtles. They find Shredder after they exit the sewer, and Titan isn't too pleased to see the old bastard, attacking him in a rage once he hears about Leo's possible "demise."

Unfortunately, when he gains the upper hand, Titan is the one caught off guard and knocked into the machine, crushed by the pipes.

Before Shredder could really begin his usual evil monologue, he becomes distracted with Leatherhead, allowing Splinter to check on Titan and help him out of the pile of metal. Despite the likelihood of having a huge bruise on his ribs, he'd be fine. Even better if he could get rid of all their issues right there in front of him.

The one wrestling an alligator. And somehow winning.

And when he sees that devil in that all too familiar armor toss leatherhead into the pit, he's all too ready to kill him.

Yet he can't. Because He's not the only one wanting to prevent the past from happening again.

Splinter sends him away to find his sons, Titan's brothers - well, sorta - and even if he wants to bring Oroku Saki, the worse pain imaginable, he's more concerned if they are okay.

...

Okay, well, if the rest of them are okay

COUGH COUGH.

He'd find them, with him.

And uh. I think Leo's perfectly fine.

So when they decided to leave for April's farmhouse, he stayed in the city to search for Splinter and the other Mutanimals after leaving Leo with the others.

Maybe he sees himself as a burden.

Then the rest you make up on the way 👍 /j

This was very fun! Maybe I should just write paragraphs or smol little chapters with much more detail and flow🤔

Nah, I'll just draw.

Can't wait for the looooooooooonnngggg part six :D

[changingplumbob]

Boy oh boy this has been a long one! Sorry it's taken so long. Rotation 9 began all the way back on March 20th which means it's taken me around six and a half months to get through everyone. During this time I have also been plagued by a bad IBS flare up that leaves me fatigued so my guess is that's why things took much longer than normal.

While all households collectively aged a year and three quarters when you put it all together we've lived through 17 and a half years of sim time for a total of 70 sim days. Thank you for joining me on the journey! I'm going to be taking the rest of the month of October off from long form writing while I build SBL back up and engage in Simblreen antics. Rotations and Growing with Glenn will start back up in November.

Now, on to the noteworthy stuff! Main points followed by chapter summaries below the cut. Time to celebrate my sims achievements!

Five Sims Promoted - One max career!

Nine Skills Maxed

Eight New Builds

Seven Birthdays

One Wedding

Four Household Adoptions

York Household, Chapter 9

Calista and Aaron made their first nectar but mostly they were in parent/grandparent mode. Deanna was dumped by Paris and had a bad bug but still passed her first term of university. The youngest York aged up, realised they were trans, and she has renamed herself Artemisia, or Emi or Emisia to her friends and family.

2. Chopra Household, Chapter 6

Rahul worked from home all week to help with his young family. Mercedes and Savannah aged up to children and have started school. Savannah is still feeling the effects of her motor delay while Mercedes may have a speech delay but turns out to be gifted. Viola aged up into a wild toddler and the household is due another shake up as Cassandra discovered she is pregnant for the third time!

3. Romero Household, Chapter 1

Marta helped her fiance Keira learn about Dia de los Muertos as they paid respect to those in the forever save who couldn't attend the wedding. Keira began her job at the Marine Life Institute and Marta met some of her neighbours after barista shifts. Then the couple were married at Willow Creek church and honeymooned in Sulani. They are currently looking at options for having kids.

4. Pancakes Household, Chapter 9

Eliza got promoted to level 9 of the corporate career. She and Bob decided that rather than have another pregnancy they would adopt so infant Tiana joined the family. Ginger got another fur sibling as dog Strawberry joined the household. Fergus aged up to a materialistic teen and after a week of working on their grades and cheer skills Onyx finally got their horse, named Maelstrom.

5. New Goth Household, Chapter 4

Alexander and Milton retrieved Bella's old journals for Milton to begin reading, and the family celebrated Harvestfest with the Chopras. Alexander and James talked about having kids, and James admitted he would like to adopt a teen rather than having an infant. Milton went through a bear phase and Ariadne was adopted by the couple.

6. Villareal Household, Chapter 6

Joey released his first video game and became a one star celebrity. Devin filmed a pirate film and her regular TV series. Luna spent most of her time trying to patch things up between her younger brother Max and his wife. Alfred broke many dollhouses and Rilian got a kiddie pool to play in.

7. Nishidake Household, Chapter 7

It was a speedrun for this family but both Charlie and Kaori have finally reached the rock climbing skill needed to attempt to make it to the mountain summit. Clover learned to not eat trash but continued to knock the bin over for fun.

8. Woods Household, Chapter 2

The murder mystery took a backseat this time. The couple met the Moonwood Collective and Samir ranked up to a Veteran werewolf. Reece started his biology degree and hosted some meditation sessions. The pair have also discovered they are fated mates.

9. Knightstone Household, Chapter 9

It was festive season for the aliens in Chestnut Ridge. While Adam worked on his skills angling for that final promotion he managed to publish three books. Suzanna had a tough time with coworker Faye but reached a truce for the sake of their careers. She also finished a third collection, the My Sims trophy collection. Silas grew closer with fellow aliens Ruth and Tyree and showed off a Red Coral at show and tell. Pollock aged from an infant into a toddler and continued to learn.

10. Foster Household, Chapter 9

Winter ended in Sulani. Harvey managed to get promoted but didn't catch any new types of fish this time. Kayleigh sold enough paintings to become a global Superstar and was our first sim to reach the top of her career! The focus was mainly on Carson who was navigating a crush while figuring out his identity as an asexual. Clumsy flirting eventually led to him officially being Ariadne's boyfriend though.

Woah that was a lot huh? I need to rearrange my navigation for this save before rotation 11 starts but any pressing thoughts? Any bits you loved or hated? How was the new bold and colour coded dialogue? Did it make it any easier to follow when multiple people were talking? Any things you wish will or won't happen next time?

TOP 5 GPOSES FROM FFXIVTOBER 2024

I had basically zero knowledge of how to use gpose in ffxiv when i started this challenge, so I used a ffxivtober prompt list to force myself to learn. I completed all 31 days and think I improved a LOT!

I super want to do more of these because it was a lot of fun. If you see any similar prompt lists in the wild send them my way ^^

Anyway, here are my Top 5 of the 31 days!

HONORABLE MENTION -- Day 6 - "Crossover"

This is the earliest day I really felt "proud" of the shot, so while it isn't top 5 I want to include it. I'm actually quite familiar with Nier, and since it's an official crossover I had a lot of material to work with. Ultimately I picked Puppet's Bunker since it has a lot of cinematic areas. I got to feel like a real smartass using a spear with a red dragon on it. And the ray of sunlight across the shot adds something extra, imo.

#5 -- Day 27 - "Murky"

I really, really love how the colors turned out here. Amaurot seemed like an ideal setting for this prompt, but I had forgotten about the eerie rays of light shining down on it in the overworld. I love how the helices in the architecture are obscured enough by fog/light so they almost look like tentacles of a sea creature... I liked both of these color filters a lot as well.

#4 -- Day 18 - "Masquerade"

This one was so fun coming up with a dynamic pose. I decided to do some scouting in The Grand Cosmos, as it's the most "masquerade ball" place in the game. I saw the dragon statue that turns into an enemy when you run by it and had the brainwave to frame it in the picture like they were Kezona's wings. Combined with the skull mask and fire horns I think the effect looks great. WOULD take his hand, 10/10.

#3 -- Day 22 - "Color Palette (Swap)"

I went for a light/sin-eater version of a Reaper for this prompt, since they're usually dark/voidsent aligned. Thanks again to @flame-of-tar-valon for inspiring the idea. I LOVE the outfit I came up with here; even went the extra mile and crafted golden jewelry purely for the glam. Since sin-eaters are basically zombies in canon, I did want to maintain some feral aspects with the appearance, so I also incorporated talons and claws to contrast the angelic imagery a bit.

I'm keeping the glam in rotation, & I might actually revisit this shot with a better background, like the Innocence/Mt. Gulg areas or even the Endwalker Alliance Raids.

#2 -- Day 29 - "Horror/Gore"

This one turned out SO cool looking, and it was the one I struggled with the most conceptually! Thanks again to @ofdarklands and @ferrocyan, whose combined help resulted in this shot. Overall I love how the colors pop out, and ESPECIALY the effect of a dark halo in the background framed by the Diabolos wings. Thrilled to have such a neat shot in the final post of the challenge!

#1 -- Day 11 - "Goth"

This is one that just turned out perfect to me. I was messing with the manual lighting adjustment, which created the second silhouette shot and totally floored me. I love how something as simple as the lighting slider can make such a great visual contrast. Add on the cool factor of the scythe and raven feathers... ough. I liked these shots so much I made them my lock screen and desktop backgrounds.

[ifoxsims]

Another fight with Mortimer about having another baby. Dina felt really unheard and was about to storm out, but Mortimer managed to reign in his own feelings and emotions and realised he didn't want to lose Dina over this, so he stopped her from leaving and they had a heartfelt conversation.

[fox-guardian]

may i ask who ur personal favorite oliver ship is 👁️ (and may i also suggest, unrelated, for ur consideration: gerryoliver, simply to rotate)

gerryoliver is EXCELLENT we love goth4goth.

as for my crackship, as i said it is very predictable for me BUT I HAVE MY REASONS SO HEAR ME OUT

[ID: Two colored digital doodles of Oliver Banks and Tim Stoker smiling and holding hands. Oliver is a thin black man with dark brown skin and his locs half pulled into a bun. He has various piercings and oval glasses. Tim is a shorter, mid-sized Latino man with light brown skin, a cut in his brow, plug gauges, rectangular glasses, a small goatee and body hair. They are posed the same in both images, and the background is a warm pink, with bulleted lists next to each of them.

The first image shows Oliver pre-avatar and Tim during season one, and they are labelled as such. Oliver's hair and eyes are completely dark and he is wearing a dark grey button-down, light grey cuffed jeans, dark grey socks, and grey dress shoes. Tim's hair is a lilac mullet with the sides shaved and his eyes are dark dots. He is wearing a lilac and purple striped shirt, a purple cardigan with aqua cuffs, and dark trousers, shoes and a watch. The bulleted list next to Oliver reads "gay that can do math, goth, sleepytired, kiki". The bulleted list next to Tim reads "bi w/ reading comprehension, Mr. Frizzle-core, more energy, bouba".

The second image shows Oliver post-avatar and Tim post-s3 as an End avatar, and are labelled as such. Both of them have slightly greyer skin and white pupils. Oliver's hair is longer and white, getting darker towards the roots, he is wearing a dark cardigan and darker turtleneck underneath, dark grey cuffed jeans, black socks, and black dress shoes. Tim's hair is shorter and brown with grey streaks, and he is slightly thinner with burn scars on the side of his face and one of his arms. He also has pale hole scars on all visible skin. His entire outfit is just a darker version of the one from the previous image, only his shirt is now dark purple with a skull pattern on it. The bulleted list next to Oliver reads "nihilistic for over a decade now, super undead, gets more goth, still sleepy". The bulleted list next to Tim reads "growing nihilistic for years now, super undead, spooky Mr. Frizzle, GREAT pillow". end ID]

~~~~

the thing is, is that i enjoy both of these flavors of timoliver for different reasons.

the first one is cute and sweet, very much a sort of "oliver isolated himself due to his Dream Torment and tim is trying to break him out of his shell and also kiss him so much" and their contrasting vibes are so Fun while the other one is basically "Oliver Visited Tim In The Hospital Too After S3 And Now Tim Is An End Avatar And They're Goth And Dramatic Together"

and yes i am an end!tim truther and no i do not have a more clever shipname for them. help me <3

Oregon Trail Challenge

To begin with, randomize 8 families. One of these households will be the Leader and will pick one of the options below. You may choose to play all the households in rotation or play solely the Leader and install Story Progression to have the other households move forward.

It is advised that you install CC such as wagons, oxen, horses, etc. but not required. You can go full Mad Max if you want to - you do you!

It is advised to set up identical lots, place families, and then set family funds. There are no rules regarding the beginning lot.

Select a career for the Leader

Banker

Start off with $5,000 simoleons.

Carpenter

Start off with (3) wood planks, (3) nails, and all sims in household have 4 logic skill points.

Start off with $1,000 simoleons.

Farmer

Start off with extra fridge.

Once a career is selected sims can purchase supplies at Matt's General Store - oxen to pull the wagon, food, clothing, ammunition, and spare wagon parts.

Start off with $800 simoleons.

THE CHALLENGE

The challenge will take 16 sim days to complete. Due to delay mechanic, these will be referred to as tiles. Sims have 20 days to reach the end of the trail before winter sets in.

There are several landmarks such as a river crossing or a fort. Each landmark has different choices available to the player, such as purchasing supplies at a fort, talking to fellow travelers at a geographic landmark, or choosing how to cross a river.

Rivers can be crossed by fording the river, caulking the wagon and floating across, or in some cases by paying for a ferry; the chance of crossing without failure, which can result in losing supplies or damaging the wagon, depends on the state of the river and the weather.

As the party progresses further along the trail, the prices for supplies rise. At two landmarks, the player can choose to take a "cut-off", or shortcut; these paths are shorter but bypass the next landmark, a fort.

Sims have 20 days to reach the end of the trail before winter sets in. Once winter sets in, Winter Handicap applies.

Roll d6 every day to determine if a random event occurs. An odd roll means an event occurs - roll for event.

Sims may hunt any day on the trail, however hunting delays by 1 day.

THE TRAIL

Pre-Trail Matt's General Store Tile 1 - Trail Tile 2 - Trail Tile 3 - River Tile 4 - Fort Crumplebottom (5% markup on supplies) Tile 5 - Jail Rocks Landmark Tile 6 - Trail Tile 7 - River Tile 8 - Chimney Rocks Landmark Tile 9 - Fort Goth (10% markup on supplies) Tile 10 - Independence Rock Landmark Tile 11 - River Tile 12 - Fort Lothario (15% markup on supplies) Tile 13 - Trail Tile 14 - Trail Tile 15 - Fort Caliente (20% markup on supplies) Tile 16 - Trail

You've reached the Pleasantview Valley!

RIVER CROSSING

Rivers can be crossed by fording the river, caulking the wagon and floating across, or in some cases by paying for a ferry; the chance of crossing without failure, which can result in losing supplies or damaging the wagon, depends on the state of the river and the weather.

---Fording the River

Roll a d10 for survival. D1 is an automatic drowning. Having a body skill level of 4 or higher automatically ensures survival.

---Caulking the Wagon

Roll a d10 for survival. D1 is an automatic drowning. Having a body skill level of 3 or higher automatically ensures survival.

---Ferry

Costs $100 simoleons per wagon.

LANDMARK

Sims have an option to visit the landmark and talk to other travelers. Max motives to be used on all sims within the wagon train. Visiting landmark does delay by 1 day.

WINTER HANDICAP

If the wagon trail hasn't completed all 16 tiles after 20 days they will be handicapped.

Change all seasons to winter.

RoS to be rolled for all households every day.

If it snows in game, delayed an additional day.

HUNTING

If the player chooses to hunt they should go to community lot set up with Sun & Moon hunting objects. Must use ammunition (use whatever you'd like to represent this - for example, I used a deco rifle as an example for a day's worth of bullets) and remain on lot for 24 hours. Will delay wagon train by 1 day.

OTHER PENALTIES

There is a penalty for losing all livestock - it will take 2 days to complete 1 tile.

[papermint-airplane]

your sims are some of the most inspirational to me to be more creative. i love them sooo much <3 i know u dont do wcifs which is so valid but do u have a cc finds or anything?? so much love either way !! <3<3<3

OH MY GOD?!?!?!?! This is the sweetest message ever! 😭😭😭😭😭 I'm so happy that my silly Simmies based on like squids and pickles and toast are inspiring to someone! I really am just dicking around in CAS. If you want to be more creative with Sims, start with messing around with sliders and blending face presets. Also, the Sims 3 has a wonderful color wheel and pattern feature -- go nuts with it!!! Literally nobody can stop you from making an entire Sim based on a pair of jeans you like.

I, personally, do not have a CC finds blog. I have considered doing something like that in the past but I feel like it would take up too much of my time organizing that I'd rather spend doing more creative things. That being said, I use so many other CC finds blogs, you wouldn't believe it. My CC shopping sessions are more similar to deep sea explorations at this point. Sims 3 CC will take you to some wild places, like the fifth page of Google, shady Russian message boards, or Bing.

Anyway, here are some of my favorites finds blogs:

@katsujiiccfinds is the one I use the most, even though it's not active anymore. Most (but not all, unfortunately) of the links are still valid and the god-tier organization makes this a great place to start if you're looking for something incredibly specific.

@bellakenobiccfinds is a new favorite of mine. There's not as many pages to sift through yet but the stuff Bella chooses to add to the blog is top quality. If Bella says "check this thing out", it's definitely worth a look.

@kpccfinds also has great organization. It's so easy to find what you're looking for and best of all, it's still active! New stuff is added regularly for all your perusing needs.

@emilyccfinds is another finds blog with an inactive TS3 section but it has a lot of stuff to look through that you might not find in other places.

@simfluencer-network is a super ambitious project by @sim-songs with, again, really great organization. Are you sensing a theme here? I love it when things are easy to find. It's like having the entire Library of Alexandria laid out before you.

@sssvitlanz is of course the OG of Sims 3 finds blogs and even though it's still being built back up to its former glory before the original Lana CC finds was deleted due to Tumblr's dumbassery, it's a consistent reliable resource for all things CC.

@darkccfinds is a great place to look if you're wanting things that are more goth or darker in nature. A wonderful place to find alternative fashion!!

@simplicitysccfinds is last but certainly not least on my list of go-to finds blogs. Great layout, great navigation, indispensable in my opinion. It's always in the rotation when I'm looking for stuff.

Don't forget Tumblr has communities now! The Sims 3 CC community and the Sims 3 Community are super active posting new finds almost every single day. You only have to scroll for like two seconds before you find something interesting. Communities don't yet have the ability to set up navigation pages so you can't search for specific things very easily, but sometimes it's nice to just look at the most recent posts when you're not looking for anything in particular and let serendipity do its thing.

I hope this helps you out! And thanks again! You really made my whole day! 😊

Goth Rotation/Spring Year 1

Cassandra Goth has been struggling with her mother's death and all the mysteries surrounding it, with all her digging all signs point to a little town named Strangerville right outside Oasis Springs, she packed up her bags, said her goodbyes to her worried family and booked a long term stay at one of the only hotels in town. After talking to the strange dude at the curio shop she's been led to the library and now to an abandoned science facility what she finds in the front entrance is horrifying, her uncles remains...something horrible is truly happening here she needs to get through those sealed doors and find the truth. Playing with the goth family in @coolpuppy12 doodoo save! I had to take out 99% of my mods and all my cc recently and this save has made me fall in love with the vanilla game again <3
