say hello to jules mayberry, my nsb founder 🌱💡

jules is a mischievous tech girlie who loves the finer things in life. she can be a little mean, and she's frequently jealous of other sims, but her heart is in the right place most of the time. all she wants is to set up a secure future for herself and the many generations to come. ✨

jules loves video games, the computer (she literally will not do anything else) and tasty vegetarian food.

she dislikes people who don't appreciate gifts (*cough cough* j huntington iii), bros, and romance music.

she currently lives in 18 culpepper house in san myshuno, but has plans to retreat to the 'burbs when she finds her mr right (well, more like 'mr that'll do'). 

✼ more info under the cut ✼

✦ backstory: both of jules' parents were scientists. they were friendly, smart, and perfectly lovely people – though they definitely spent more time in the lab than they did at home. having died when she was a teenager in a 'work accident' (it's all very hush-hush), jules took her small inheritance and put it towards a pad in the city rather than university. after one semester, she decided the academic route wasn't for her. besides, who needs a degree in this day and age anyway?

✦ challenge goals: (i don't have all the packs so i had to improvise a little)

master tech guru career – start-up entrepreneur branch

complete chief of mischief aspiration

master mischief and logic skills

complete elements collection

✦ my goals:

make two enemies

have at least one child 

move out of the city to a fancy home in the suburbs

be bffs with her children, unlike the way her parents were with her

have §100,000 in savings

✦ other notes:

i'm shockingly bad at making male sims, so this is going to be a matriarchal legacy (this includes nb and trans sims)

i use thepancake1's more traits in CAS mod because three just isn't enough (i chose the remaining traits based on personal preference, but i plan to randomize it/inherit traits from gen 2 onwards)

jules got unlimited funds to decorate her apt to make it Cute but i dropped her remaining money down to §1000 to reflect her 'inheritance'. girlfriend spent most of her money on plants and wall art (#relatable).

since i don't have all the packs, i'll be mixing and matching the og nsb challenge with this version alongside whatever whims tickle my fancy or enhance my story ;)

thanks to @cupidgnome and @deathbypufferfish for the psd aspirations template and icons. and of course, @lilsimsie for creating the nsb challenge 🖤

Oh hell I’m doing this for Daisy because F Scott Fitzgerald is incapable at giving her a personality, and this makes my life easier:

1. Alcoholic: She’s a cocktail girl, partial to a mint Julip but not only that. Especially sweet ones, she will tolerate the taste of alcohol but it’s best if it’s masked in other flavours. Non-alcoholic I think she’s fond of a peach iced tea, or something similarly sweet and a little flowery - like elderflower cordials!

2. Elaborate. Everything *has* to be perfect, hair perfectly waved, makeup perfectly stylish, clothes fashion forward but not too daring. After all, what other worth does she have?

3. She has No idea, she is does not look at the price level rich, probably a dress or jewellery. It would be her piano or silverware but they were heirloom.

4. No. As with anything related to her appearance she’s dedicated to keeping it completely perfect. If she could I think she’d tattoo a daisy on her shoulder though.

5. She is a cryer, it was probably over a hangnail, or a missed appointment. BUT she cannot cry over the things that actually affect her deeply, like her relationship with Tom will elicit little emotional response but accidentally calling on someone twice in one day will have her sobbing.

6. Only child, only girl. She had all the family pressure of having to marry rich, and continue the familial line. That’s why the conditioning is baked in so deep, she truly believes that if she’s not the perfect paragon of femininity she has failed.

7. Nice, sensible, Mary-Jane esque heels that match her dress. Think Character Shoes in musical theatre but not necessarily in black or tan.

8. Meticulous, all soft hangings and blurred edges. Lilacs and buttercups, soft blush pinks, nothing darker than a light grey. Everything has its place, down to the perfumes on her dresser, and where each individual tube of lipstick should be. She collects porcelain figures, and they’re all neatly displayed on a shelf. But, hidden in the bottom drawer of her dresser is a collection of sentimental items, ranging from old letters to pictures, anything that’s too private to be displayed. Just for her.

9. Holidays mean parties, and parties mean performing the perfect hostess, (at one point)wife, and mother. Far too much trouble for what they’re worth. Though, deep down, she likes seeing how Pammy lights up on christmas morning. It’s a complicated relationship.

10. In her purse there is always: Powder, lipstick, and a compact mirror. She also will not leave the house without a pair of gloves, and at least one item of jewellery. And a hat, of course.

So my problem with most ‘get to know your character’ questioneers is that they’re full of questions that just aren’t that important (what color eyes do they have) too hard to answer right away (what is their greatest fear) or are just impossible to answer (what is their favorite movie.)  Like no one has one single favorite movie. And even if they do the answer changes.

If I’m doing this exercise, I want 7-10 questions to get the character feeling real in my head. So I thought I’d share the ones that get me (and my students) good results: 

What is the character’s go-to drink order? (this one gets into how do they like to be publicly perceived, because there is always some level of theatricality to ordering drinks at a bar/resturant)

What is their grooming routine? (how do they treat themselves in private)

What was their most expensive purchase/where does their disposable income go? (Gets you thinking about socio-economic class, values, and how they spend their leisure time)

Do they have any scars or tattoos? (good way to get into literal backstory) 

What was the last time they cried, and under what circumstances? (Good way to get some *emotional* backstory in.) 

Are they an oldest, middle, youngest or only child? (This one might be a me thing, because I LOVE writing/reading about family dynamics, but knowing what kinds of things were ‘normal’ for them growing up is important.)

Describe the shoes they’re wearing. (This is a big catch all, gets into money, taste, practicality, level of wear, level of repair, literally what kind of shoes they require to live their life.)

Describe the place where they sleep. (ie what does their safe space look like. How much (or how little) care / decoration / personal touch goes into it.)

What is their favorite holiday? (How do they relate to their culture/outside world. Also fun is least favorite holiday.) 

What objects do they always carry around with them? (What do they need for their normal, day-to-day routine? What does ‘normal’ even look like for them.)

I had a dream that I was in a Round1 where a bunch of little kids were watching me use a slot machine. The slot machine crashes and I figure out it runs on the engine used to port Resident Evil to the Gamecube. I wander around and a bartender I like randomly gives me a mint julip. I mess around with an 80s game and got a sticker of Chisato and Natsumi which I gave to my twin. I met some guy who was selling specialty sugars mixed with things like chili powder and whatnot. I hear some nice EDM music. Apparently the artist was going to perform live soon. Someone in Springfield was bragging about a big watermelon they grew. There was literal fashion police in Tokyo. A concert in Eugene was interrupted by some guy selling something.

(left-right, Top Row- Kay Starr, Wynonie Harris, Rosemary Clooney, Row 2- Big Mama Thornton, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Row 3- Parker and Gillespie, Anita O'Day, The Clovers, Bottom Row- Kitty Wells, T-Bone Walker.)

Overview of Music from Project 1952: 

Favorite female artist: Kay Starr. Her voice, her songs, her swingy vibe... I looove her! 

Favorite male artist: Wynonie Harris. Probably my favorite musical discovery of the project. His voice is spine-tingly good, and his songs are filled to the brim with fun, humor, risqué lyrics, and bounce. I wrote earlier that I smile just when I think of him, and that pretty much sums it up. 

Favorite group: The Clovers. These guys fall pretty much smack in the middle of R&B, with hints of doo-wop in the vocals. And speaking of the vocals, they are bloody perfect. Perfect!  

Biggest surprise: I actually found a lot of music I that I liked! Before the project, I believed that most early 1950s music was the kind of syrupy easy listening pop that I detest. But I found some great swingy jazzy pop, I liked bebop jazz more than I expected, there was some enjoyable country stuff, and best of all, the R&B was fabulous! Most R&B was spilling over the line into early rock and roll, and I couldn’t get enough of it. 

My Top 15 Favorite Songs: (in no particular order, except for numbers 1 and 2) 

“Comes-a-Long-a-Love,” Kay Starr. 

“Keep on Churnin’ (Till the Butter Comes),” Wynonie Harris. 

“Hound Dog,” Big Mama Thornton. 

“One Mint Julip,” The Clovers. 

“Blacksmith Blues,” Ella Mae Morse. 

“Till I Waltz Again with You,” Teresa Brewer. 

“Pedal Pushin’ Papa,” The Dominoes. 

“Blues in the Night,” Rosemary Clooney. 

“Noodlin’ Rag,” Perry Como and the Fontane Sisters. 

“No Soap No Hope Blues,” Anita O’Day. 

“Au bal de la chance,” Edith Piaf. 

“Street Walkin’ Woman,” T-Bone Walker. 

“Blackberry Boogie,” Tennessee Ernie Ford. 

“Rocket 69,” Todd Rhodes. 

“Bloomdido,” Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie.
