Straight out of high school to the covert operations of the military, you excel, driven by duty and a longing to provide for your family.

(Bonus) Gen 17: The Lakes

Amidst the rustle of leaves and the whisper of pages, you find your muse as a writer, enchanted by the dance of words and the embrace of nature. Poetry flows from you, a testament to your romantic soul. Holidays are cherished escapes, moments of tranquillity by the water's edge, fueling your creative spirit. Yet, it's in solitude that your greatest works are born, a testament to your dedication to the craft.

Career - Writer (Author)

Any tips for making a legacy, for lack of a better term, weirder? I've worked pretty much every occult possible into the family tree but I feel like I get too focused on just maintaining needs and normal daily family life for them, especially since I prefer to keep everyone more or less happy (i.e. no tragic early deaths). The most exciting things I've really done are turn one sim into a Global Superstar and marry off another one to the Grim Reaper, and sometimes I pause aging for a bit to spend more time on certain plots. Your legacy is obviously pretty wild so I wondered how you go about coming up with ideas like Michael Bublé Christmas Getaways and Charlie's Angels Spy Squads haha

This is a great question!! Let me see if I can dig up a good enough answer for it 😂

And I'll include pictures to break up the massive wall of text.

The reason Gens 1-3 are barely mentioned on here is because in reality there wasn't really anything interesting that happened in them. I wanted to hide away from the stress of a worldwide pandemic and watch my sims garden for a while. No real rules, just something to relax.

Gen 4 was a slight departure since I was getting a little tired of my sims doing the same thing over and over, and I decided to do the opposite and move them to a penthouse in the city as a refreshing change.

And as I started playing with more gameplay mods that added extra moodlets- the chance of hysterical death rose exponentially. My Gen 4 heir died when my Gen 5 heir, Hinoki was just a kid. So I decided to keep him around as a ghost while my Gen 3 heir worked on grinding out the ingredients for Ambrosia and Reed (Gen 4) continued to follow his political aspirations to become the first Ghost President of Simerica.

And this is where we find the nexus point of weird. And here's the biggest (not so secret) secret to it. The beginning of Gen 5 is when I started actually sharing my gameplay.

Not publicly, but with a small group of friends and simmers on a discord, like I've mentioned before here. Suddenly I wasn't just playing for myself, I was very slowly starting to play to make my friends laugh- to see how they reacted whenever I would leave little updates. And I found I really enjoyed that!

I started contriving little scenarios- what if Hinoki slept with her husband's band mate and had a secret child. And then someone would pop in and say she might have to run away for a while to Tartosa to have a baby. This independent toddler trait gives baby Val such a stink face- oh you should put him in a tiny leopard print robe to match. And it became this back and forth of - you know what would be funny?

I was started going off the rule from my friend @anotherplumbob that my first born would be the heir, so i had the fun task of figuring out how to get from point A to point B with Valerian, and what the hell point B even looked like.

We knew he was evil- he killed his dad as a toddler, and was just a full creep through his entire childhood- and so I started asking, what story do I want to tell my friends? I love romcoms, I love spy movies- what would be fun for me?

We're all influenced by our environments, the art, media, and music we consume, and that's all directly reflected into what we decide to put back out into the world.

And through exploring those characters, through playing the game, through my friends throwing the weirdest suggestions at me - what if he made a robot copy of his childhood Nanny? Okay, what mods can I use to reflect that in my gameplay? - What if he 3D printed a baby? - What if the Volcano gave them another baby? (this one is never happening shooby) - The whole thing spiraled out of control 😂

SO TDLR- How can you make your legacy weirder?

Find a community or even a couple trusted friends to bounce ideas off of. The amount of time I've spent conniving and scheming with @doctorsimcraft should honestly be studied. Write for yourself and like the 4 people you care most about. Enthusiasm is infectious. Find some good gameplay mods to add color to your gameplay- More Personality Please is an absolute game changer. Wicked Whims and Lumpinou's RPO are also fantastic additions if that's your style. Hopefully the game throws you some fun curveballs. Adversity and conflict breed interesting story - or something like that. Think about the types of stories that you would be excited to tell- really lean into your favorite tropes and themes. It's not a checklist, it's just like - I really love campy spies, I really love enemies to lovers - what do I do in game to make this happen. Find your story and let drive your gameplay- not the other way around. Or find a good balance and see what happens.

And to be honest I've very much lost that balance and fallen into a total rut of letting the story overtake the gameplay. So whenever I get too overwhelmed by my stupid large ambitions I just sit down and play and see where the game takes me.

I hope I can get back to not posing every single scene out for Gen 7 but I also love making poses, and breaking my game in every way to be able to tell the stories I want to!

It's why I'm so comically slow now. But I guess that just means we get to spend more time getting to know our characters, which I do genuinely enjoy.

I don't know if that was helpful or incredibly unhelpful- but it's what I got. Good luck! And above all have fun- in whatever shape that may take. (Hopefully it's a weird one)

knowing she needed at least some help, ingrid decided to take arthur out to the local diner to answer all his questions... safe to say he was not expecting that

ALRIGHT FOLKS. HELP ME OUT.

These are the prompts for my server's winter event. Send me ideas for one-shots for them, or else I'm just going to find a way to shoehorn the one-shot ideas already bouncing around in my head in there. I W I L L keep these short, by which I mean that I will only let two (2) get up to 18k in length and only if it's one of the two already rotting in my head, one of which will probably only be shown to @winntersnow and be more of a collection of snippets than anything else anyway.

@deadgirlwalking91 can probably guess what the other one is because i brainrotted at her about it recently and this is me telling her right now that if i write it and it ends up being a single word over 18k she is commanded to take me behind a barn and shoot me

ANYWAY. Ideas can be for Hazbin Hotel, Chainsaw Man, Attack on Titan, or p o t e n t i a l l y Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'll write most ships, but see the tags for a more specific list and know that I also really love writing gen. G O.

This may seem weird but could you do what Pokemon characters smell like? Smell is super important to me when it comes to a partner, not allowed to smell bad in my space. Specifically Grimsley, Drayden and Clara but you can add whoever else you want

Absolutely, hon! I kinda wanted to bully your taste a bit but I'll just say you have a type. Also, if y'all give me free reign with extra characters, I'll always chose N when it comes to Pokemon. He's my boy!

Characters: Grimsley (Gen 5), Drayden (Gen 5), Clara (Gen 8), N (Gen 5), Dahlia (Gen 4), and Wallace (Gen 3)

Grimsley: Smoke, Red Wine, and Petrichor

Smoke like the comfort of a cigarette on a cold winter night at a rooftop bar or snuffing out a candle after a long night on the couch with a movie. Red wine like a classy date in an expensive restaurant or a comforting drink after a long day, alcohol somehow numbs the pain in your joints. Petrichor like waiting for the rain to stop outside before walking away from work or walking through the city under an umbrella, watching the people walk by.

Drayden: Leather, Pine, and a Fresh Meal

Leather like finally buying a much-needed new bag or tying a nice pair of leather boots before going on a hike. Pine like a Christmas Tree at your grandparent’s house or walking in the woods in early winter, the last of the leaves falling in your hair. Meals like a pot roast on a cold winter night or sauteeing vegetables for a new recipe.

---

Clara: Sour Gummies, Cheerwine, and Poppies

Sour Gummies in the way of walking into a busy candy store or opening a package late in the night as a study snack. Cheerwine like on a hot and humid summer’s day, feeling the cold, cherry-flavored soda run down your throat to quench your thirst. Poppies like growing a batch in a small pot and smelling them and feeling the need for sleep hit your limbs.

---

N: Gardenias, Fresh Cut Grass, and Honeysuckles

Gardenias like walking in the woods in the beginning of spring or the surprise of finding one fresh white flower sitting on your desk in a small container with water, signed by your secret admirer. Fresh-cut grass like walking in the park in the early morning or lying on the grass between classes, the sun on your skin and engulfing you in warmth. Honeysuckles like going to the plant with your parent as a kid, picking the flower, and then having you try it. You aren’t sure but do and taste the sugary nectar engulf your mouth.

---

Dahlia: Mocha, Daffodils, and Oranges

Mochas like the sudden spike of caffeine in the morning after a long, sleepless night. Daffodils signal the beginning of spring with their yellow and white flowers. Oranges like eating a familiar fruit as you put the peels in a simmer pot with other ingredients, letting the scent engulf the house.

---

Wallace: Patchouli, Water Lilies, and Incense

Patchouli like walking into an apothecary, the variety and combination of all scents hitting and burning your nose. Water lilies like walking through an oriental garden and seeing koi fish swim between lilypads with pink and white flowers. Incense like lighting a match and setting the stick aflame before blowing it out, letting the smell engulf your room and yourself.
