look ?

“you are fucking unbelievable,” shoka says. her teeth are chattering. al picks up his can of beer, takes a sip, and puts it back down. “do you want my scarf?” “to strangle you with? yes.” the threat’s half-hearted, like she’s saying it on autopilot. she hugs herself inside her oversized sweater and glares daggers at him. “why do you care, anyway?” “well, you looked cold–”

Beneath the cut

On Posing:

Thanks to @strangetomato​, @retromaisie​, and @katatty-main​ for your responses about the posing ‘jump’ issue. I was using the Freezer clock for some of the sims, but not all of them, so I will make myself be more diligent with that and hopefully that will improve matters. Pretty sure it was idle animations causing the jumps, based on what you were saying as I did have Free Will off and time frozen with the Clock.

@esmeiolanthe​ and @holleyberry​ - I think you guys were talking about a different issue when you are physically moving the sims into place and they jump into the hands of a nearby sim. That wasn’t happening as I had them all on OMSPs. The issue I was having was them jumping out of the pose when already in place, but thanks for the help :)

On my GOS Challenge House:

@barbiepinklady replied to your photo “I did a challenge on GOS =)”

Beautiful House! any chance you put it for download?

Thank you so much! I won’t be putting this one up for download, because there’s a ton of CC in there and a lot of it I got from installing lots, so I’m not even sure where it’s from or what the creator’s terms are and you’d likely end up with a lot of missing Master textures and stuff. Also I’m not sure parts of it are entirely playable *cough* the kitchen *cough* because I used MoveObjects etc to arrange stuff and I haven’t playtested the house at all. I’m fully expecting to have to rearrange everything when I move a sim into it. x.x Feel free to copy/recreate it though. I do that all the time ;)

On Strangetown:

This looks so great! I'm a terrible bowler but I always enjoy going...and I would love to bowl here!

Thank you, although I feel like most of the credit should go to MsPoodle as I copied so much from her. I enjoyed getting that retro feel of Strangetown in there though =D

i use the hack to make npcs & townies apartment neighbours instead!

Yes that is (hopefully) how I'll be setting up my new hood, as I set it up completely clean, it currently has zero sims. I will be creating some townies for the apartment lots when I get onto sim building.

as for the noise thing, i think the trick is to put bedrooms on a side of the building that isnt joined onto a neighobur's wall? if that makes sense

The noise is coming through from the neighbour's living room into the Terranos' kitchen so it's not bedroom-related. I'll have to look into it more. Or not have posh apartments directly next to each other. I think the noise makes sense in lower-rent places, but the Terranos' place is meant to be nice and fairly up-market. xD

@dramallamadingdang replied to your photoset “Tri-Fruhm Alum Stella Terrano and Monica Bratford (from henceforth the...”

I use probably the same hack that Katatty uses for the townie apartment neighbors, and I also completely nuke neighbor noise b/c I got sick of it: http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=577082 But if you don't want to do that, you can hang pictures on every wall. (Invisible recolors are good for this, obviously.) Then the noise emitter can't generate.

I will probably get sick of it after a while so thanks for that link! At the moment it's still new to me so I'm all 'ooooh noise :D'. I think I'll have to play around with various tricks so I can maintain it in some but not all. =)

@littleblondesim replied to your photoset “Again, I failed to take pics. =/ Stella and Monica, both Knowledge...”

Yups about the witches! I just had a sim become a witch the "normal" way for the first time. You just have to make friends with one of the High Witches (either good or bad) and then eventually there will be an option to ask to be shown the way of the path of either darkness or light, depending on which witch you asked.

I'm looking forward to Monica finally getting there. She's wanted to be a witch since she first saw one back in LFT and it'll be nice to have some Good to balance Olive's Evil.

dramallamadingdang replied to your photo “and this week in outtakes: General Buzz! When I switched over to...”

If this was my game, I'd have him keep that hair and wear it with pride. But, y'know, I'm weird that way. :)

Hahahahaha, I fear that he would somehow crawl out of the game and come to exact his revenge on me!

On my new hood:

@eddysims replied to your photo “Another one of the church”

This is adorable ~<3

@eulaliasims replied to your photo “Another one of the church”

Pretty! I like the details on the tower. :D

Thank you both! It took quite a while to get it to a state I was happy with while using little CC. I spent ages trying to use the normal spire roof and failing before realising I could use the mansard roof pieces.

dramallamadingdang replied to your photoset “WIP shots of a residential lot, based on the Kims House/Shop from...”

It's all...sunshiney! Like it'd be impossible to be unhappy in that house :)

Hahah, it is pretty yellow. Also it has really nice surroundings as it’s right next door to the town’s park. Not sure yet who is going to live there, so we’ll see how happy they are ;)

littleblondesim replied to your photoset “WIP shots of a residential lot, based on the Kims House/Shop from...”

This is absolutely charming!

littleblondesim replied to your photoset “This one is based on a real-life house/shop from Kent, CT.”

You are killing it with these houses!

Awh thank you! I really enjoy looking at pictures of real-life places (or tv show scenery) and simmifying them xD and I like the way this hood is developing. It’s nicely different from Strangetown. Hopefully I can stick with it!

On The Getting to know me meme:

eulaliasims replied to your post “Getting to know me meme”

I think Numb might be stuck in my head now too, haha.

Hah, it is nearly always stuck in my head. I catch myself humming or singing it without realising.

dramallamadingdang replied to your post “Getting to know me meme”

Thumbs up for your solo musician choices. Adele I can take or leave, but Aretha, Ella, and Billie are (or were, sadly) all freakin' goddesses. :)

I have a real love affair with Jazz/Easy Listening music which started with my Nana's music collection, matured at Uni when I sang in a Jazz Band and then fully blossomed with the Fallout games which is my other long-term gaming addiction alongside sims.
