Rolandstown is a TS2 almost-cc-free neighborhood based on the MySims games for PC and consoles.

You will find an enormous amount of lore to explore with your favourite characters from MySims!

Info and download link under the cut

Rolands Town is a big, fully fleshed out neighborhood with a lot of content for you to discover. The features of Rolands Town are:

◉ A big neighborhood which takes advantage of the whole map. Rolands Town is shipped with more than 50 LOTS INSPIRED BY MYSIMS LOCATIONS, mixed with real architectural styles from around the world;

◉ MORE THAN 100 SIMS based on MySims characters! Play with your favourite florist Poppy, work on incredible inventions with Dr. F, help Pinky become a real fairy and so much more.

◉ 14 HOUSEHOLDS + 2 SIMS IN THE BIN, all intertwined by MULTIPLE DYNAMIC PLOTLINES AND MYSTERIES for you to unravel! Who will inherit the Boudreaux Mansion? What happened the night Rosalyn Marshall's parents died? Why did Skip Rogers drastically change behaviour after being elected mayor? Every household has something for you!

◉ A HIDE&SEEK GAME! Elphaba the Wicked Witch has turned the poor fairies of the forest into marble stones and placed them in hidden spots around the neighborhood. That's why they call her "wicked"!

◉ 5 STARTER HOMES + 4 APARTMENT BUILDINGS to give you a big array of options for sims fresh out of CAS! The starter homes are very unique and can be great prompts for storytelling. You will find a cabin in the hoods, a small Japanese house on Forest Street, a warehouse for rent near the Train Station... You will also find SMALL UNOWNED BUSINESSES in the Town Centre if you want to open your own shops! There's also some empty residential lots if you want to start from scratch.

◉ EXPENSIVE RESIDENTIAL LOTS for ambitious sims to earn through sweat and hard work... or motherlode, I won't judge! You will find 2 farmhouses in the Bayou (one of them was home to a dreadful witch!), a big warehouse in the Industrial District... Have fun exploring and furnishing them all!

I have to give you a pair of warnings now, before downloading:

⚠ My plan is to add storytelling pictures to all the households' albums to give you a better grasp on the plotlines, so consider this neighborhood "almost" finished. Everything is done except for the albums. This will take a lot of time though, probably months.

⚠ You need a CAMERA MOD. The neighborhood is big and there are lots on the borders of the map, so without a camera mod you would not be able to play the hood as intended.

⚠ DO NOT put or move lots on the road near the Radd household. You will deform the terrain, trust me. If you see a palm tree, then it is not safe.

Below you will find two download links:

"RONT" is the neighborhood folder and it must be extracted in Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Neighborhoods.

"RONT_CC" is the folder containing a small amount of CC (10 files, 15 MB) required for the neighborhood to appear as intended. It must be extracted in Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2/Downloads.

I am extremely curious to know what's your experience with the neighboorhood. If you encounter a bug, message me and I will fix it as soon as I can. If you want to play this neighborhood on Twitch or share gameplay pictures, let me know and I will follow you because I am very curious to see what you do! Bye bye!

GOOD EVENING. IT’S SATURDAY SEPTEMBER FOURTH, IN DOWNTOWN NADIRIS CITY, AND THIS IS EYEWITNESS FUJI NEWS, REPORTING ON LOCATION. BUILDING LOT 666 IS NOW SURROUNDED IN WHAT APPEARS TO BE A SHADOW OF FUMES — 

Neon lights bled through puffs of smoke to fashion a haze of beautiful transparent clouds. Truth be told, the city had never looked so beautiful. The phenomenon was reported on for the entire weekend. Stories streamed by various institutions, stations, and vloggers accounted for a high speed chase that ended in the demolition of the building. Roads were marked off, and safety officials were stationed at intersections to redirect traffic away from the main street. From Friday, 11 o’clock at night, well into the daybreak of Sunday morning, most entries into downtown Nadiris were heavily monitored by law enforcement drones and AI patrol bots.  

Those of the underground know the real story, which began weeks prior... 

The orders started out simple. Parking Lot 666 was gaining the attention of a team of respected investigators. Uncleared foot traffic, reports of suspicious activity, and the snarling sounds coming from the building were signs the CCG couldn’t exactly ignore any longer. The board of directors were split in their decisions: hearsay, recordings of masked individuals, and anonymous tips were not substantiated. Half of the team wanted more time to explore their options– the other half wished for nothing but extermination.

A team of undercover investigators were instructed to gather enough evidence to surround the building, and take a peek inside, nothing more. And yet, later that night, the CCG would initiate a code red. 

The raid would then begin unplanned. Despite the much needed caution, the investigation unfurled, and because the order was given exactly how it shouldn’t have been,– fueled by emotion, and in haste–– the board of directors have since been on edge. Never has the CCG ever had to defend their competency in leading their investigations against the Aogiri. 

Regardless, the outcome was a bit of a success. The first grenade of its kind was launched into the depths of the dark lot, where many of the suspects were rendered incapacitated. RC grenades, as they’ve been called, were but the only defense the Doves had until back-up was reinforced. Their efforts were valiant, but those on the front lines of the investigation were soon to lose their lives, since the RC grenades couldn’t hold the hordes and waves of newborn hybrids. 

Stronger mildly-harmed ghouls were able to trigger what CCG investigators have only heard of myths of. Kagune signals were sent by subordinates of the Aogiri tree, and down the line, their own reinforcements came in droves. The fight for life and dominance piqued well into the night. As Doves rained fires of Q bullets, Kagune walls and Traps would help defend the tattering shambles of the now found Aogiri hide out. Though the unplanned ambush surprised the Aogiri, the faction had plans of their own–

The final battle ended in a siren blaring through the city which served as a warning for those wounded to retreat and evacuate the area. Once the dust and ash finally settled, Fuji News was on the scene and the first to report on the citywide curfew enacted by city officials, any other news reports have been deleted from the cloud. 

OOC INFO:

SUMMARY: 

PARKING LOT 666 —much like its sister space LOT 668, this is an abandoned lot in the lower Fuji District, just north of Downtown Nadiris. Or rather, it was. The building was recently rumored to be a hangout for hybrid ghouls who’ve been recruited to the Aogiri faction and through use of anonymous tips, undercover spy drones, and hidden alliances, the CCG were able to confirm such rumors as fact. Plans were drafted and quickly executed thereafter, leaving an array of bullet shells and bloodshed from the skirmishes between the Aogiri and the CCG. Casualties were had on both sides, as well as some unaffiliated ghouls caught in the crossfires.

The event occurred in game the first weekend of September, beginning roughly around 11 PM FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 3RD and lasted until 7 AM SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 4TH. The building was completely surrounded and marked off at 8 AM THAT SATURDAY and heavily patrolled and guarded until SUNDAY EVENING SEPTEMBER 5TH. The building is still enclosed with crime scene tape, but is finally free of any CCG activity.

1. FUJI NEWS HAS REPORTED ON ONE STORY ONLY: THE FAKE ONE. 

FUJI eyewitness news has reported on a false high speed chase involving an armed robbery which started at Fuji Mall, and ended at the crime scene. Highway lanes and nearby streets were sectioned off and closed for transportation to and from downtown. Reports claim the suspects were cornered and ultimately brought in for questioning September 4th, 8:00am. 

2. LOCKDOWN INSTATED.

Nadiris City is officially on an unjustifiable lockdown, which is raising some eyebrows of concern. No traveling in, or out of the city for the foreseeable future. All flight plans for traveling to the outer islands have been canceled as well as any autotrain tickets. 

3. DESPITE THE LACK OF PLANNING THE CCG CONSIDERS THIS A VICTORY 

Now that Lot 666 has been fully evacuated and raided, Lot 668 is currently being investigated — this time with more caution. CCG investigators are using all their efforts to infiltrate and gain any evidence to provide more insight on the building. Ghouls are discouraged from meeting in the parking lot, and Aogiri are now being briefed to eliminate any drones, spyware devices, or other outsiders who may incriminate their cause. 

INTRODUCING:

The following have been added to our glossary and are strongly encouraged to be used in any future interactions.

RC GRENADES — otherwise known as control RC gas. an experimental weapon made by the CCG. when released and inhaled by ghouls or hybrids, it begins to affect the respiratory system, weakening and impairing ghouls or hybrids to the point of unconsciousness. 

KAGUNE WALL — a defense mechanism used by ghouls which burrows into the ground and sprouts like a thorn bush or other organic barriers. It extends itself to fill the entire area, making passage impossible.

KAGUNE TRAP — a protective measure, in which the kagune can be buried within any surface, and springs forward for an offensive strike. These traps will lie in wait until nearby movement triggers them, bursting from their hiding place to impale what has set them off.

KAGUNE SIGNAL — a signal for help that is able to relay a distress call to any neighboring ghouls. Signals are typically only responded to by a ghoul who is part of the same faction as the one who utilizes the signal, however most ghouls can hear and respond to the signal should they wish to.

IC INFO ( PARTICIPATION IS NOT MANDATORY ):

IN CHARACTER TASK PROMPTS:

Will the raid provide caution for your muse? What was the damage to your muse? And did they inflict damage on others? 

What’s the aftermath? Do they know anyone who was injured ? Are they grieving a casualty ? Are they guilty of a body count ? 

How do they feel about the citywide lockdown? Does this derail any of their plans ?

Will they believe Fuji News, or will they be coming up with their own conspiracy theories ?

Reflective self paras are also encouraged should you choose to engage in the task !!

Hangout 34 for Nona?

34: An abandoned house on the edge of town. (from the Character Building Locations list)

thank you for the prompt! and what good location, too!

(Also on AO3)

The old house at the edge of town is dirty and damp, but it’sisolated and the walls provide some shelter against the cold wind, so that’swhere Nona and her fellow traveler end up settling for the night.

Nona keeps a cautious eye on her companion as she lays outher on bedroll in the least-dustiest space she can find. His presence is stilla bit of a surprise. She’d known someone would be meeting her on the road toescort her to Defiance Bay; she’d just been expecting that someone to be anotherpriest.

The mercenary on the other side of the room, smoking a pipeand nonchalantly rifling through empty cabinets, is certainly not a priest.

Nona wrinkles her nose at the smell of the smoke off thepipe. “Do you have to do that in here?”

“Ah, come on. It covers up the smell of mold,” he answerswith a grin. He’s been doing that a lot- smiling and joking and acting like heknows Nona despite the fact they only met a day ago. Nona can’t tell for surehow genuine he’s being. His attitude makes her suspicious, although she knowsshe’s likely just being paranoid.

When the mercenary receives no answer to his quip, heshrugs. “I’m joking. Mostly. I haven’t seen any mold, not yet at least. Justspiders. But that means this place has been abandoned for a while, which meansit’s safe, which means you can relax a little.”

Nona rolls her eyes but lets the subject drop. She moves tothe window, where she can watches grey clouds roll across the sky. “I supposethis place is better than sleeping out in the cold. Even with spiders.”

“Exactly! Let’s just hope this place doesn’t get washed out ifit rains tonight. Floods can hit fast in these parts.”

“And here I always thought ‘backwater town’ was just anexpression.”

The mercenary laughs in surprise at her comment. “Heh. You’resecretly funny.” He regards her for a moment, then nods. “Yep, I like you. We’regonna be friends.”

Nona raises an eyebrow at that. She doesn’t quite know howto react to this immediate friendliness…but she has to admit, despite herwariness, that it’s the most pleasant conversation she’s had in a while. “We’llsee,” she allows, and although it’s not exactly a confirmation, the man grins.

Can I request 36+platonic Jessica and Flynn? I crave them bonding over parent things, you have no idea.

This…probably wasn’t what you had in mind? But it’s where they took it?

Prompt: A park bench looking out over a playground. | 50 Hangout Locations for Character Building

Rating: T | No warnings apply

Helter Skelter

“I’m pregnant.”

It’s a weighted statement, and not one Flynn expected to hear anytime soon, and especially not from a woman who’s only just come back from the dead. Of course, she’s never been dead in her timeline, but to him, she’s pretty much the equivalent of a zombie.

(Whether he’ll also see Lorena and Iris as undead when - if he gets them back, is a question he pushes to the back of his mind for now.)

“You’re pregnant,” he responds instead, repeating the statement without any emotion. That’s just perfect, isn’t it? If having a child has taught him one thing, it’s that babies never make anything easier. If people have a strong relationship, the offspring will strengthen that. If there are issues, they will be exacerbated. And God, these two have issues. Though, in their defence, there’s not a single person in that damned bunker that doesn’t.

“Yes,” she confirms. “It’s Wyatt’s.” As if he was going to assume it would be anyone else’s. There’s something hiding behind that statement, though. She’s a troubled woman, with a weight resting on her chest, which is strange. She’s ‘just’ a bartender, isn’t she?

(He worries about the implications of her revival. It doesn’t feel accidental. Rittenhouse doesn’t make people disappear on accident. He presumes they don’t randomly bring their enemies’ dead wives back either.)

“I don’t know why I’m telling you this,” Jess admits, staring at the empty playground in front of them. “I haven’t even told him yet.”

Silently, Flynn turns his palm skywards where it had been resting on his knee. A small hand slides into his and he squeezes gently.

“For what it’s worth coming from me, you probably won’t be a terrible mother.”

Jessica chuckles.

“Is that supposed to be a compliment?”

The thing is, he doesn’t know the answer to that either.
