I'm an escapist. I'm not a planner; I've never made a decision about anything in my life. The good thing about Africa is that you can escape forever. You can do what you want without someone looking over your shoulder.

- Peter Beard, photographer

Surviving a shipwreck in Lake Rudolf, being crushed by an elephant & an encounter with a lion in the middle of the night, Peter Beard wld have been 85 this week. Beard was heir to 2 fortunes - railways & tobacco - a child of privilege: Upper East Side, Buckley and Yale. Africa and its wildlife.

In the late 50s, he bought Hog Ranch, near the Ngong Hills & adjacent to his friend Karen Blixen’s coffee farm. In 1972 he acquired an estate at Montauk Point near Andy Warhol.

Explosive, collagist, his works combine his photographs with his diaries - paper clippings, dried leaves, insects, old sepia photos, phone messages, India ink marginalia, quotes. Blood from the nearest butcher - and his own. Photographing wildlife, wild personalities and living an extravagant, untamed, life, Peter Beard was the personification of the word “Wild.” Baptised “the last of the adventurers,” Beard is as famous for his very public private life as he is for his idiosyncratic collage diaries and assemblages. Bringing together found objects, contact sheets, literary text and photographs from Tsavo, Kenya, his work subverts craft, control, and intentionality, typically associated with conventional artistic practice.

‘I’m an expert on futility and I like the futility and the pettiness of my diaries. It's a sort of laundry list of the day.’ It began when Jacqueline Kennedy gave him a leather-bound journal. He collaborated with Andy Warhol, Francis Bacon, Karen Blixen, Truman Capote, and Salvador Dalí. He also became a portraitist. In the jungle that is Manhattan & in Kenya (clad only in a kikoi) he proved as irresistible as he was insatiable. He was the great passion in the passionate life of Lee Radziwill. He would say sleep was such a waste of time.

Beard himself referred to his devotion to photography as something to be taken not too seriously, introducing himself as “a dilettante,” or amateur. However, the artist played an undisputed role in portraying an impeccable artistic vision of Africa to the West, although many accused him of offering a slanted and idealised perception of the continent - the only lover he remained loyal to until the end.

After once finding a big game poacher on his property, “Hog Ranch,” famously next to Karen Blixen ́s (author of “Out of Africa") coffee plantation, Beard tied the man up in wires, stuffed a glove in his mouth and left him there. Although this cost the artist a week in African jail and a few more of press and rumors in NewYork, these solitary but outrageous acts of protest slowly but surely granted Beard an environmentalist status within Western and African preservationist circles. Ultimately, the artist was years ahead of his time in his efforts to sound the alarm about environmental damage, and became a walking symbol for a future generation of artists who would use their art to send urgent social messages to the public. “The deeper the white man went into Africa, the faster the life flowed out of it,” Beard wrote in his most critically acclaimed book, “The End of the Game.”

He had two failed marriages before a third to a Kenyan Muslim, Nejma Khanum, brought him a measure of peace and stability with the birth of a daughter, Zara. But he remained untamed. One time, in the Sth of France, he sold off a valuable photo to pay off a $20,000 bar bill. His long suffering wife, Nejma, sought to regain the art he had given away or loaned in a haze of drink and drugs.

Peter Beard, who lived in Montauk, on the eastern end of Long Island, New York, disappeared on 31 March 2020 and was found dead in Camp Hero State Park, not far from his home, after a 19-day search on 19 April. He was 82. His family wrote on his website, “He died where he lived: in nature.”

So, this a huge WIP that I've been planning since rumors surrounding the newest expansion pack started going around. And it is meant to go with the For Rent EP (if the leaks are accurate), so I won't be starting this legacy until after that releases and I'm certain I want to buy it. (If I don’t buy it, I’m still doing the legacy, just deviating from my original plan).

I've really been wanting to add a story-based berry legacy to the gameplay I share on this blog, and I've always wanted to open an alien-owned bakery in the Sims, so with the rumor mill speculating about buildable apartments and a possible Thailand/Southeast Asia themed world, I finally settled on the Very Berry Legacy Challenge by @laulauccfinds (LaulauPlays on youtube, idk if they have another tumblr handle, apologies if I used the wrong one). Here is a link to the rules: Very Berry Legacy Challenge 

And a link to LaulauPlays channel:

I was also inspired by a townhouse build by kikoi builds. [Home Chef Townhouse || HOME CHEF HUSTLE || The Sims 4 Speed Build - NO CC] They used the Home Chef Hustle stand to create an open-window shop on the bottom floor of a townhouse. And I knew that idea would be perfect to implement in Gen 1's first home.

My founder is named Raspberry Mochi (which may be subject to change). She's an alien occult, and though she's starting out with a small apartment and home shop, my goal will be to make enough money to move out and buy a bakery. Her first pet will be a goat. I haven't thought of a name yet, though. (Btw, all the screenshots are from my building/play-testing save. I haven't started playing the legacy)

I want the whole atmosphere of the first generation to be cyberpunk-inspired. A futuristic, somewhat grungy, neighborhood primarily inhabited by alien and occult immigrants. The background sims will be a mix of berry and banilla, depending on their species.

Sorry for rambling, I'm just very excited for this legacy, and still have a lot of work to do to get ready for it.

Akhirnya kesampean ke Masjid Nurul Iman Blok M buat dengerin kajian Ust. Nuzul secara langsung. Dari dulu pengen banget ke Blok M tapi belum ketemu waktu yang pas. Happy banget tadi pas Mba Nilla ngajakin makanya langsung aku iyain padahal lagi ngantuk-ngantuknya karena sebelumnya kurang tidur haha.

Sudah lama banget semenjak di Bogor pengen banget ke Blok M tapi belum ada temennya dan aku belum tau juga caranya ke sana gimana kalo dari Bogor. Kalo urusan arah dan navigasi, aku lebih baik jangan percaya sama diriku sendiri sih apalagi kalo perginya sendirian wkwkwk. Alhamdulillah hari ini sampe di Masjid Nurul Iman bareng Mba Nilla dan teman2nya. Jazaakunallahu khayr 🥰

Atas izin Allah, Ust. Nuzul ini yang jadi jembatan sampainya taufik dari Allah dan mengubah pola pikir serta pandangan hidup seorang Kikoy. Meskipun sekarang mentalnya belum mental baja banget sih tapi setidaknya ada naik sedikitlah dari mental kerupuk jadi mental yuppi, agak keras kenyal-kenyal hahaha. Sampe sekarang PR nya pun masih banyak banget. Soalnya pelajaran sebelumnya aja masih diulang2 terus karena lupa terus dan tergelincir teruus. Namanya juga Kikoy. 😌

Sejak 2020 cuma ngikutin kajian di youtube beliau, dan hari ini bisa denger suara beliau secara langsung tuh bikin terharu banget sepanjang kajian. Ditambah sholat Maghrib dan Isya diimamin beliau dan qadarullah surat yang dipilih Ust. Nuzul pas sholat tadi yang aku juga tau artinya dan pas Ust. Nuzul bacanya sambil nangis aku pun ikut nangis-nangis. Ya Allah hari ini nikmat banget. Alhamdulillahilladzi bi ni'matihi tatimmush shoolihaat. ❤️

Aku bersaksi kepada Allah bahwa Ust. Muhammad Nuzul Dzikri telah memberikan banyak kebaikan kepadaku. Maka Wahai Allah, balaslah beliau dengan banyak kebaikan yang jauh lebih baik dari-Mu. Aamiin.

oh yeah let me make a new list of absolutely Cracked sims builders i enjoy

plummysims - very detailed and prolific, she’s done quite a few collabs and entire save files for multiple worlds

carynandconniegaming - these two are fun as hell.  they’re twins and they basically co-op build, which is usually more entertaining than one person’s commentary.  their channel is pretty bare compared to the rest of these builders because they don’t upload full-form videos often

kikoi builds - the fact that she hasn’t even hit 3K subs is a crime on good building, check her stuff out.  it’s mostly residential builds but none of them look the same, which is way more than i can say for myself.

enikő balogh - absolutely my favorite out of all of these.  when i say cracked, i mean cracked.  super large, highly detailed builds that would set my computer on fire
