Love Language mod v1- the intro ♡

I can’t believe my first ever mod is finally out! I wrote it out in July 2021 hoping the day it could be a mod and the fact it is out now feels so surreal. The five love language mod in the sims! Yes, our sims can now have a love language as a trait. You can buy the trait from the rewards store and it costs 12 points. Once your sim has the trait, you can see it in the simology panel and then your sims will have wants surrounding their trait. I used ALL the packs to create this mod.

What are the wants we will see in game?

Most of the instructions are already in the game on how to complete the wants

COLLIE DUTY

TWENTY-TWO — clearing up mistakes

SYNOPSIS > being the new CEO to the ‘Sim Corp’ was hard and stressful. jake didn’t have much time to spend with layla and so he decides to get a dogsitter, you. though, you were originally already his secretary. how will dog sitting bring you two closer?

WARNINGS: none :D let me know if there are some idk missing words to sentences. sometimes my brain processes the sentence but when I reread it, it doesn’t have the word but I swear I wrote it down😭

MASTERLIST | PREVIOUS | NEXT

as you threw on your outfit that you had decided for the ‘date’, or whatever jake asked you, you had stepped in front of the mirror and snapped a quick photo.

posting it right on your Instagram story that was very much public to everyone. it wasn’t disclosed but you had a decent amount of following but nobody saw your face, just your body. you had wanted to keep it a secret because you know, private stuff.

your friends knew about the account. heeseung even joked about you looking like some faceless model with the way you took pictures of yourself. quite suggestive poses, very little clothing but you just wanted to express yourself because why not love yourself?

“shit, I should leave.” you didn’t even think to cover your face when you posted that photo on your account. you had quickly made it out of your apartment and went downstairs to see jake’s car waiting for you.

the moment you entered the car, you see jake looking at his phone in shock. you had peeped at his phone a little. then it hits you, you posted that pic without covering your face. jake’s eyes slowly met with yours.

“sir.” it was the only thing you could mutter out.

“you’re the faceless model that I was looking for?” he says.

you were confused. no seriously confused, “what do you mean, Mr.Sim?”

“I wanted to possibly reach out to this girl to collab for the new collection that we’re going to send out to a designer brands competition and sign her up for a contract.”

“oh.”

“you’re her?” jake says still in shock.

“is it that shocking that I am her?”

“no, not at all. it’s just that…I didn’t think you’d pose in such positions.”

“I just post this for my own pleasure. it’s fun to dress up and take photos.”

“(name).”

“yes, Mr.Sim?”

“please be the model for our ‘JS collection’.”

“Mr.Sim, I don’t exactly want to be a model. I’m already your secretary and it’s something I have been focusing on for the past 4 years.”

“I know but this would be a great opportunity. You’re pretty and you definitely fit the vibes of our new collection, it’s perfect.”

you can’t help but blush when jake called you pretty.

“Mr.Sim-”

“also dropped the ‘Mr.Sim’. I already told you when it’s just us call me jake.” jake demanded said.

“okay, umm jake. I really don’t think I can do it.”

“then what if I reward you with something if you do it?”

you deadpanned at him, “jake, I am not Layla.”

“I’m not using the ‘good girl’ tactic like you’re a dog. I’m serious, I’ll reward you with something good.”

“what is this something good?”

“tickets for like a holiday? You deserve it after working long hours as my secretary and also…for hearing what you did back in office.”

“oh.”

holy shit, sound the alarm sim jaeyun is apologising.

“yeah, I was supposed to apologised at the restaurant once we got there but since we’re already here in my car talking, I think I should apologise first.” jake takes a deep breath.

“look, I understand what you heard isn’t exactly what any normal person should hear in an office space. let alone a CEO’s office. you’re also my secretary so it was unprofessional to let that happen considering your desk was also near me. I’ll be honest, that part slipped my mind. I forgot we’re both not in two different offices. your desk is like at least 10 footsteps away from my office.” jake was about to ramble on more but you had cut him off.

“jake.”

“yeah?”

“it’s fine. I understand you have your little scandalous activities you wanna do. moreover, you’re well, someone attractive so like it’s only more normal for you to have fun.”

jake shakes his head, “let’s forget about this and have dinner. I’m sure after a long day of working, you need some good food. of course, this is also a token of apology for the umm things you heard.” jake starts up the car and starts to drive.

it was great to have this whole thing be cleared up and jake apologising. it made you feel warm on the inside, hearing jake be soft-spoken and kind to you was a change. You liked this version of jake and if you were being honest, you liked the view beside you right now.

jake holding onto the steering wheel with one hand, slick back black hair with a few pieces of hair falling onto his forehead. His black suit tucked into his pants, the black slacks he wore, one of his sleeves folded up his hand. His arm exposed that showed off the black Galaxy watch he wore on his wrist.

God the arm veins…

Your inner conscious was screaming at you. Sim Jaeyun was definitely out to murder you. you don’t even know how long you’ve been staring at him for.

“We’re here.” Jake says as he parks the car at the front of the restaurant. He goes out of the car to pass the keys to the staff there and then opens the door for you.

“Let’s go, my lady.” he says in a deep voice. You swore you just got a whole shiver down your spine which is why jake went to open the back door of the car to grab his jacket and wrapped it around your figure.

“you’re not talking, are you in shock?” he snickers. “if you must know, I have never brought anyone to some fancy high end restaurant before.”

“oh…” was the only thing you could say.

jake chuckles before softly grabbing your hand, “let’s go, it’s cold out here.”

which was how you found yourself being dragged by jake into the restaurant where the food was extremely expensive and really divine. definitely a meal for the rich.

a/n: HELL🧎🏻‍♀️🧎🏻‍♀️ I am sat! jake do be very hot for apologising and knowing what he did was very wrong and if you think that they are gonna start dating, THINK AGAIN🙄🤚🏻 I gotta drag this story for a little longer

Winter 08: Dateless - Pt.2 *Intermission*

A few things to say, prior to the dates

We're interrupting the story update for a few things worth knowing prior to Rachel's upcoming dates:

🖊 The scenes posted over the last three days were deliberately written and shot before I played the dates. I didn't want to be influenced by things that happened on the dates when I was writing about the moment they still had to occur. However, as you shall see, some things happening on some dates lined up perfectly with remarks made in the previous scenes. I'm not even surprised. In my gameplay days, I had weird coincidences like that happen to me all. the. time. 😁

💇🏽‍♂️ Like I said before, the guys may look slightly different in my game with my settings and defaults than originally intended by their creator. Also, for three of them (Alfie, Trey and Draxton), the hairstyle given by their creator didn't show up, so I gave them new hairstyles that resembled their original as closely as possible.

❄️ It's currently winter (February) in Honeycomb. So, any guys wearing clothes I deemed too cold for this weather or without outerwear, I redressed. I tried to honour their personal style when doing so.

☕️ I tried to match the activities and locations of the dates to the character of the guy involved to give each of them the best chance.

🕒 Each date lasted 3 to 4 sim hours. Because I use Nraas Relativity to slow things down a bit, that's a decent amount of time in my game.

👩🏻‍❤️‍👨🏻 I started each date by checking the attraction score. I make a note of that within the storyposts. The intention was to have the attraction score factor in if the dates in itself wouldn't amount to a clear conclusion. In that case, the attraction score could be the deciding element. As it turned out, the attraction score was often, though not always, quite a good indicator of how the date would go...

📷 I mostly left Rachel and her date to their own devices. I followed closely, took pictures and went along with the things they would decide for themselves. I posed things when it felt fitting to what was going on. For instance, on most dates, they spent a lot of time standing and talking, so what I did afterwards was pose a seated conversation or a walk because that is more natural and realistic than standing opposite one another, chatting for two hours.

🤷‍♀️ I struggled a bit with how I would show these dates. I've gotten so used to sharing storytelling style that going back to sharing gameplay style felt off. But Rachel and I found a solution, which I'm letting her tell you about in the first post scheduled for tomorrow!

These dates, people, they were an adventure! I saw a gatecrasher, a walk out, guys grabbing their phone to stream videos in the middle of the date, misplaced flirts, a lot of boasting, and misinterpretations. But also a lot of smiles, well-timed flirts, lively conversations, some hugs, sincere interest, and, most importantly, some sparks flying...

So, let's kick off!

Here's a reminder of the order of the dates, generated by a randomizer:

[youredreamingofroo]

📩 Simblr question of the day: What are some of your favorite behind-the-scene screenshots? I'm throwing this out to gameplayers, storytellers, renderers and the like :)

thank you anon!! 🫶🫶

this question is from the @simblr-question-of-the-day blog, check em out if you haven't :)

I'm gonna throw in mostly blender (and GIMP) BTS screenshots cuz i dont really have anymore BTS screenshots from sims 4 LMAO (I also ended up throwing outtakes in at the end :))

putting them under the cut cuz theres A LOT 😭

the full body (and prototype) pose of the Nirvana x Vanella post

- -

"you got any games on yo phone"

- -

A wip that i never finished,,, but nirvana being hot and seggsy as always (I wish i was that skeleton...)

- -

I learned how to do text in blender for the first time

- -

If you ever wanted to know what the BTS for that last scene in the Wake up Roo post looked like, here you go LMAOO

- -

not much to say about this one, i think it speaks for itself

- -

whenever I'm doing stuff on GIMP that involves layer modes, I like to go thru pretty much every single mode to see what looks good and sometimes i get fucking flashbanged 😐 (i also usually edit in the dark... so its literally like a flashbang for me)

- -

And for funsies, here's some outtakes that I rendered and may have edited that I never shared :D

- -

if you remember my international womens day post, there was this scene, and while it looks similar, this one is actually darker and is supposed to focus more on Nanel's hand placement :) I didnt go with it cuz iirc it didnt look right next to the other panels, but it is very pretty!

- -

From my emotions/feelings post, this was gonna be the one I used for Roo, but because of the lighting it looks like his mouth is open and not him just showing his teeth in frustration (which was the intent), so I changed it to be closed

- -

I think you can instantly see something is off with Kyneva's eyes... 😭😭 The lighting made her eyelashes look weird so I had to adjust the lighting to be more central (lots of lighting issues with these panels...)

- -

So like the others, the lighting was just too dark and I had to add a brighter light 🙃

- -

As an introduction of the "story" name for Roo and Leo, I was gonna do a post (which is why I learned to make text in blender) where Roo talks about the significance of the word "Hiraeth" in his life, which is that uhhh he learned Hiraeth from Leo lmao. But now he feels "Hiraeth" for Leo essentially. I still like the idea but for some reason I just haven't vibed with the scene and just haven't been motivated to go back and make that scene now esp. since I've introduced the story name now

- -

I was gonna do a short sequence in the Obsession Desperation post where Leo checks his phone and sees the notifs of Roo texting him, but figured it didn't fit the rest of the post and veto'd it :) But I'm planning/thinking of doing a post where it's Leo's POV/Side-of-things

- -

OKAYY finally the last one LMAOO This one i've shared before and is still an outtake, but i just love it so much I wish i could just shove it into peoples faces like its a cake. Only reason I didnt use this is bc I didn't have any dialogue that fit this panel and it didnt really fit in with the rest of the panels (this was for the Inner Child post btw), maybe I'll use it in a diff post one day <:P

10 Tips for Traveling with Your Smartphone

Travel is a time to disconnect from our daily lives and explore the world. But it does not mean we need to stay disconnected from our smartphones. In fact, having your smartphone with you on your travels can help you find your way, talk to locals, and even capture memories on the go. Here are ten tips for traveling with your smartphone that will help you make the most out of your experience, while staying connected and safe.

1. Get A Good Data Plan: Before heading overseas, find out what plans are available for your smartphone. Your home country plan might not work out of the country, and roaming data charges can add up quickly. Consider purchasing a local SIM card or a data plan that covers your trip’s duration, so you can stay connected, and save on roaming costs.

2. Use Travel-Friendly Apps: There are various apps available that cater to travelers, from maps, to translation, to weather updates, apps can be helpful while traveling. Before your trip, download helpful travel apps that will make your trip run smoothly.

3. Protect Your Phone: Traveling with your smartphone means it’s more prone to damage or loss. Protect your phone by investing in a protective case and screen protector. Also, write down your phone’s IMEI number or take a photo of it, so that if lost or stolen, it can be reported to your phone carrier.

4. Use Public Wi-Fi Carefully: Public Wi-Fi is convenient, but it’s not always secure. Be careful using public Wi-Fi, especially when accessing sensitive information such as banking or email. Use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to protect your information and avoid using public Wi-Fi for sensitive tasks.

5. Turn on Location Services: Turning on location services on your smartphone can be helpful in finding your way, discovering local events, and even tagging your photos. Don’t forget to turn off location services when you don’t need it, as it may drain your battery faster.

6. Get A Portable Charger: While traveling, you can’t always rely on having an outlet to charge your phone. Be prepared and take a portable charger with you, ensuring your phone stays charged throughout your trip.

7. Back-Up and Sync Your Data: Before your trip, back up and sync all your smartphone data, including photos, contacts, and important documents. In case your phone is lost or stolen, you have a backup copy of all your data.

8. Enable Two-Factor Authentication: Enable two-factor authentication for all your accounts; this adds an extra layer of security, making it more difficult for someone to hack into your account.

9. Use Your Smartphone Camera to Capture Memories: Use your smartphone camera to capture memories on the go. Take multiple shots, and don’t be afraid to take selfies, capturing yourself in new destinations to share the experience with friends and family back home.

10. Be Mindful of Your Phone Usage: Don’t let being tethered to your phone keep you from experiencing your trip. Remember to put down your phone, and enjoy being present in the moment.

11. Ensure Security and Privacy: Traveling with your smartphone can bring a wealth of convenience and entertainment to your trip, but it also poses significant security and privacy risks. Fortunately, with just a few straightforward tips, you can safeguard your device and your data while on the go. First, always use a strong passcode or biometric authentication to lock your phone. Avoid using public Wi-Fi and instead rely on a trusted VPN service.

Consider downloading a mobile security app to monitor for malware and suspicious activity. Be cautious when downloading apps or clicking links, and only install trusted software from reputable sources. Disable any features or settings that give third parties access to your location, contacts, or data. Always be wary of phishing scams or social engineering attacks, and know how to identify them. Finally, back up your data regularly and consider encrypting sensitive information. With these ten tips, you can confidently use your smartphone while traveling without sacrificing security or privacy.

Traveling with your smartphone is an essential part of any modern traveler's experience. By following these tips, you’ll make the most out of your device while keeping it safe and secure. With the right data plans, apps, protective cases, and privacy settings, traveling with your smartphone is an easy and safe way to keep yourself connected while exploring the world.

Tag Game for Historical Simblrs!

1. what has been your favorite time period to play in or which one are you most excited for?

Since I haven't played in any other time period for my story, I think I'm going to say the late 60s. In fairness, this was an intentional decision to start my story here, but this was more to make the timeline make sense later on.

In terms of the time period I'm most excited for, probably the 1970s. I think that's going to be the part which will be most indulgent in the respective time period, and that is likely going to appeal to me a ton!

2. do you have a favorite piece of historical cc? (cas or bb)

This is really difficult for me, there's so much incredible historical cc out there, but I think I'll have to say Moonsimmers Bonaerense bathroom set. I just love all the colors!

3. who is your favorite sim currently?

Of all the characters introduced, Jacob! He's the main character of the story and I've definitely put a lot of my own personality into him. However, there are other characters which will be introduced soon, and they're definitely in the running!

4. what is your favorite world?

Probably Evergreen Harbor, as it feels the closest to TV suburbia compared to anywhere else in the game, and I've always had a weird interest in suburbia (the more I learn about it, the less I understand). In real life, it doesn't sound all that flash, but it would be nice to live in the same kind of suburbia as the ones on TV. I was actually going to set my story there, but ultimately decided against it.

5. are you more gameplay or story focused?

Very much story focused, the game is more of a set to tell the story through than anything else. I have a clear idea for how I want my story to pan out, and parts of it are going to be very reliant on posing (I say, as if I haven't been using poses the entire time). I haven't really found a place to talk about this, but I do have a planned structure for the story, which will play out in parts (part 1, part 2, and so on), and we are currently at the beginning of part 1. It's difficult to talk about the overarching plot for the story without spoiling some major plot points, so I just have wait for things to unfold.

6. do you like to play with pets in your historical saves?

I used to love playing with pets, but I kind of have a problem where I forget about them, so I generally don't. I'm sure that if I tried playing with pets with a strong focus on the pets, I'd enjoy it more, but for now, I'm fine with focusing on human sims. (Interestingly, I have the same problem with supernatural sims.)

7. what’s your biggest immersion breaking pet peeve in the game?

Funnily enough, the sims using the phones are fine-ish, because I use the notebook override, but the problem arises whenever my sims have to call someone and they put the notebook against their face. It annoys me so much, but I do my best 🥲

8. what’s your favorite in-game historical item? (cas or bb)

Probably this fridge from Cottage Living. It's so cute, and it works nicely in my story. Did I mention it's cute?

9. what would you like to see as a new pack or asset to the game?

There is so much that I think should be added to the game, but in free updates (definitely more things for object babies like clothes and bassinets). However, I would love a music/performance-based pack, with concerts, live plays, and a bunch of new instruments and styles of instruments (think drums, trumpets, electric guitars, cellos, basses, and so on). After school activities could include choir and brass bands, and while there are lots of careers that people become famous for in Get Famous, I think some behind-the-scenes careers in these industries could be cool, like record producers, audio engineers, playwriters (and screenwriter in general), and directors (I'm aware there are famous directors, they just aren't a career option in the Sims 4). Is this essentially My First Pet but bigger and for Get Famous? Possibly. So yeah, I haven't actually thought about this question all that much. (<- lying)

10. what pack do you think is invaluable as a historical simmer?

Cottage living is definitely absolutely indispensable for any gameplay that isn't in the most modern part of history, but other packs that I love for historical aesthetics include Vampires, Realm of Magic, and Discover University (DU is certainly good for 1960s-onward in terms of CAS items). I'd also say that Growing Together is decent for normal people clothes for the 1960s, and I used a bunch for Jacob.

11. do you have a favorite mod to enhance historical gameplay?

I think this enhances gameplay in general, but Adeepindigo's Healthcare Redux adds a brilliant layer of realism to the game. The main appeal to me, from a historical perspective, is the chance for your sim to get a deadly disease. However, I can appreciate sims having chronic conditions, allergies, and so on.

12. what’s your ideal family size for playing?

I prefer a family of 4-5 sims, if I have multiple adults that can parent children. If the family has a single parent, maybe 2-3 sims, otherwise it gets difficult to control.

13. do you use poses?

So far in the story, I have used 100% poses, and 0 gameplay animations. As I mentioned earlier, there will be parts of the story that will be reliant on posing as there is no same action in gameplay. Sometimes all a guy wants is for his characters to have a heart-to-heart on the roof of a building while watching the sunrise, y'know?

14. do you use any overrides in your game?

As stated earlier, I do use the phone/notebook override, but I believe I also use the wooden rubber duckie override, and I have overrides for stalls to fit in with the medieval era.

15. do you, or did you, play off-the-grid during your game?

For the Levi's, I haven't used off the grid, as most people had electricity by then. However, if the story was in a time period where people didn't often have electricity, I probably would play like that.

16. what lifespan do you play on?

I actually have aging turned off for my story! I considered turning aging on but with the long version, and I ended up deciding not to, as I find it easier to have control over things like aging, especially in something as story-heavy as this.

17. what inspired you to start playing historically?

A few years ago, I first discovered the decades challenge, and started playing it. It was a while ago, and I lost interest after a while. To be honest, while I would consider it my first brush with historical gameplay, I wouldn't consider that first decades challenge my first time playing historically, as the commitment to historical accuracy was lacking (aesthetic was similar to Persuasion (2022)). The first time I properly played historically was in early 2022, when I tried the decades challenge again.

If You Love Someone, Let Them Go: Part 6

Summary: Since starting with SVU, Sonny hadn’t kept much terribly close to the chest. The squad knew about his family, growing up on Staten Island, the classes at Fordam. What was hidden was why he didn’t date. Sonny Carisi was also separated from his childhood sweetheart, a separation neither ever took to divorce. They had the same haunts. They’d grown up neighbors. Their paths crossed every few months, and divorce talks would turn into reminiscing would turn into a night spent together, sometimes sex sometimes just talking until the early morning. It always ended with one of them waking up alone however. How will that change when the squad finds out?

Pairings: Sonny Carisi x Original Character

1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5

April 2015

“You ready?” Sonny called as he came into her apartment. They’d agreed to skip the pretense and drive together, and Sonny had booked a hotel room within walking distance after confirming she’d be okay with it. His bag was in the trunk, and he grinned when she came out bundled up, the same Fordham sweatshirt she’d stolen under her coat and the little wheeled bag beside her. 

“Ready,” she grinned, stretching up to kiss him, and he felt like he could do anything. He took her bag despite her protest.

“I got us a room for the next two nights. We ain’t gotta stay both, but I thought it might be nice to go to dinner? I got both nights off, too.”

“That sounds real nice. I packed some real people clothes anyway.”

“Perfect. Now let’s get going. Bella said you guys got a make up artist coming.”

“Yeah. She got one and a hairdresser.”

“She’s definitely the one who wouldn’t wanna get herself ready.”

“Yeah. We gotta get there in time. What’re the groomsmen doing?”

“Playing video games and taking turns shaving and showering.”

“Not fair.”

“You look hot. You don’t need hair and make up.”

“You always think I’m hot.”

“That’s because you always are.”

“So are you. I got real lucky on the husband front.”

“You really think so?” She could sense the current under what he said. It wasn’t just Am I hot? but was also Are you lucky?

“Incredibly lucky. I got you.” He slammed the trunk shut, cheeks pink when he settled in the driver’s seat. It was familiar to drive with their fingers laced, and he smiled to see her wedding set in place. Bella had gone by the bakery to surprise her one day, and his sister was very pleased to let him know both rings were on her left ring finger. He’d told the squad the same day he told Olivia, and his ring had been on his hand every day since, the cross the only thing on the chain again.

“Think they’d notice if I do my own make up and hang out with you?”

“She really does have y’all going like two hours longer than Gina did.”

“Yeah. Gina was very ‘Let’s get down to business, get photos, and get married.’ Bella’s way more into the matching robes and face masks vibe. But she’ll be happy.”

“I’ll check in a lot, okay? I don’t like the video games Tommy does.”

“You just like Sims. It’s endearing.”

“It’s kinda fun.”

“You spent six hours building a house once.”

“I had t’make sure it was perfect. They were having twins, Tor.”

“I love you, you absolute nerd.”

“Your nerd.” 

“Damn straight.” Sonny dropped her off at the venue, checking them in at the hotel and dropping off their bags. He stopped by the bridal suite when he got to the venue, thankful the weather moved the ceremony inside now that he was out of the cold. 

“Dominick! No boys allowed,” Bella said, wagging her finger at him, hair in rollers. 

“I know, I know. I’m just bringing Tor the key and her charger, okay?”

“You got her key?” Gina asked, leaning back to look at him and lifting her brow. “That sounds like you’re sharing a room.”

“We are,” Victoria said plainly, taking both items gladly. All the girls had changed into robes, but she’d opted to stay in his oversized sweatshirt until the inevitable photos. A primal part of him liked knowing that.

“That sounds like a reconciliation,” the younger Carisi sang, and Victoria rolled her eyes. “And you two snuck out of the party early like you used to.”

“I’m real glad you approve of our progress, but if you put too much pressure on us, we might break again.” Victoria knew he didn’t mean it and just wanted them to drop it, which she was grateful for. They weren’t quite there, but she trusted he’d probably open up by the end of their weekend together. Even if he didn’t, she’d decided she wanted to start planning to see him more after the wedding. Several late nights with Margy and a bottle of wine had told her that much. If you prove you’ll be there and patient, he’ll probably feel less like he’s scaring you off, she’d told Victoria after another night analyzing their last four encounters.

“Fine. But just know I’m telling ma. Maybe she’ll stop being mean to Tor.”

“Ignore Bella. She’s been glaring, but I think Sonny talked sense into her at Thanksgiving. She’s mad at both of them now.”

“As she should be,” he shrugged, kissing Victoria. “See ya for pictures.”

“See ya,” she grinned, ignoring his sisters’ squeals. This marathon made her kind of tired. Her hair and makeup were done soon enough, and she was grateful the dress was a dusty, dark enough pink in person to look good on her. She liked pink on Sonny, especially since the sides of his brunette hair had started going gray, against the blue of his eyes. The bridesmaids, the two Carisi sisters, Victoria, and a couple of Bella’s friends, all posed together in the matching silky robes before slipping their dresses on. 

“And you thought that pink wouldn’t look good,” Sonny said softly against her ear before kissing her cheek. 

“You like it?” Her hands rested on his shoulders as she smiled up at him, and he felt giddy. It was official. This was how they acted before, no almost needed. 

“I do. Beautiful color on you. And damn, my wife got a figure.”

“You’re the best hypeman,” she hummed as she straightened his tie. “I ever told you how handsome you look in a suit? Or how pretty pink makes your eyes?”

“I can stand to hear it again.” There was the cocky smile he got sometimes. “I’m starting to look old, doll.”

“Nah. Getting hotter.”

“Even with the gray?” He’d been self conscious about it before, when the evenly dispersed gray in his dark hair could be mistaken for a dirty blonde. His temples gave him away now, but she loved it.

“Even hotter with the gray.”

“Stop being gross,” Teresa whined. “It’s like when you were getting ready for homecoming again.” She was rewarded with her brother and sister-in-law’s middle fingers, and Victoria was pleased with Gianna’s disapproval and the picture the photographer snapped. They took pictures, and Sonny was glad when they settled in the back of the venue. He could see the back of Olivia, Barba, Amaro, and Rollins’ heads, and the change in his dynamic with Victoria had him looking forward to showing her off at the reception. 

“Shoes off at the reception. I intercept ma?”

“How’d you know?”

“I’m pretty sure I’m supporting ninety percent of your weight, Tor.”

“Love you.”

“Do I need to hold ya until we walk?” 

“Not enough time to make a difference. But you’re a saint for offering.”

When Olivia saw Sonny with Victoria on his arm, it made sense why he’d been calmer the last two weeks. He’d been texting her more, though he thought he was sneaky enough no one noticed how he smiled at his phone throughout the day. She seemed to smooth his edges, and she and Amanda shared a look over the way the pair watched each other across the front of the venue. The ceremony was a quick enough affair, and Bella had decided to let her bridal party sit wherever they wanted. That led to Victoria stepping out of her shoes, pleased to be spared a big entrance. Heels in hand, she followed Sonny to the table his squad was at before dropping into her seat and giving a wave.

“Means a lot to Bella and Tommy you all came,” Sonny said, taking her shoes and tucking the wall by his chair. “This is my wife, Victoria. Tor, meet Rafael Barba, Olivia Benson, Nick Amaro, and Amanda Rollins.”

“Nice to meet all of ya. I’ve heard a lot.”

“Wish we could say the same,” Rollins said, and Victoria immediately recognized what Sonny had meant. No venom. Just protective of her occasional partner. And Benson was definitely the mother hen, shooting the blonde a look as Amaro and Barba concealed smiles.

“Get it all out now,” she joked, rolling her eyes. “Married into this family nine years ago.”

“Been putting up with Carisi that long? I’ll petition the pope for sainthood.” The three piece suit. The snark. Barba was just what she expected. 

“Think she deserves it,” Sonny chuckled, arm flung easily over the back of her chair. “I can be a pain in the ass.”

Conversation started to flow easily, and he was glad Victoria was tough enough to bite back at Rollins and Barba when they referenced anything touchy. Tommy’s family filled out the rest of the table, and he was glad to see the trial had brought them around to agree that what happened to Tommy was wrong. Teresa and Tommy’s brother gave the speeches, and he liked seeing the squad join in as Bella threw the bouquet and Tommy threw the garter. 

“Bella caught my bouquet, remember?” Victoria smiled up at him.

“Yeah. And Freddy Esposito got the garter.”

“Both of ‘em got married this year.”

“Was delayed for us. Our friends from back then are just now getting married.” 

“We’ve been married nine years and aren't even thirty. I think we were ahead of the curve.”

“But now my baby sister is married and pregnant.”

“Dom, you do know she and I are the same age?” Sonny blinked, squinting at her. 

“You’re fucking with me, right?”

“We’re both twenty-seven.”

“No way Bella’s twenty-seven.”

“I like how you can fully separate me and Bella graduating together.”

“I forget,” he shrugged. “You always picked me anyway.”

“Then married you. Duh. Long game.”

“I hear people making noise.”

“They’re cutting the cake. Amaro has the garter half in his shirt pocket, and a three year old caught the bouquet. The same age you think Bella was when she caught mine.”

“Shut up,” he laughed, pulling her to stand at the edge of the dance floor to watch the first dance. His arms slid around her waist as he rested his chin on her shoulder.

“He wouldn’t have to stoop so low if you’d wear your damn shoes, stellina.”

“Ma, leave her be.” Gianna rolled her eyes, but Sonny squeezed Victoria as the music started. “She’s coming back around. Called ya stellina instead of Victoria.”

It was kind of fun to watch the four members of his work family loosen up around the room. Amaro and Rollins were across the dance floor and not fooling anyone. Barba wasn’t sure what to make of any of the Carisis or Sullivans, but since they’d easily figured out that Olivia was not involved with him, the singles from both families had circled the man who was suddenly the most eligible bachelor. The best part was how hard Olivia ignored his visual pleas to be saved as she talked to one of Tommy’s uncles. It was nice not pretending work and personal life were separate; the squad had taken him in like he hadn’t anticipated, and now his family was taking the chance to accept his squad. 

When the first dance was over, Sonny pulled her onto the dance floor, holding her flush against him in a way he hadn’t been brave enough to before. They’d talked every day the last two weeks, and he’d realized they really had hit the turning point. The songs weren’t slow, so his chest was against her back as his hand splayed over her stomach as they swayed. Both their voices were off key as they sang along to each song with the rest of the guests on the floor. Nick and Amanda were wrapped up in each other, and Olivia and Rafael seemed perfectly entertained, so he didn’t feel bad slipping out after a couple hours. 

“I know you two. Go ahead and dip. You stayed for all the important parts,” Bella had grinned, bumping Victoria’s hip with her own. “I’m the only sober one here, so this is gonna wrap up earlier than anyone realizes. Baby and I gotta sleep.”

“You sure?” 

“Positive, Tor.” That was all it took for Sonny to lace their fingers, duck out of the venue, and start the couple of blocks to their hotel. At first, she wore the heels and walked,  but he quickly realized it was the shoes, not the wine, making her unsteady.

“That’s it,” he said, squatting in his suit. “Hop on.”

“My bag’s heavy.”

“I can handle it, babe.”

“You sure?”

“You don’t hop on, we’re going spider monkey front carry, and we both know that always ends in me tripping more.” She wrapped her arms around his shoulders, and Sonny held her thighs, careful to keep the fabric under his palms to save her some modesty. When they were outside the room, she slipped the key from his breast pocket, helping him push the door open before he dropped her on the bed. 

“Thank you,” she sighed, toeing the pumps off and letting them fall. 

“Glad to be of service.” A little salute as he started to strip out of the suit and hang it. “Thanks for always ditching early for pajamas with me.”

“Glad to be of service.” She hung the dress and tucked the strapless bra away, and when Sonny turned from the closet, he saw her in the oversized sweatshirt again as she pulled the blankets back on the bed. He hadn’t bothered for two. They’d had that option every time but hadn’t used it when they were fighting. 

“Comfy?” He ran a hand through his hair, breaking up the gel before flopping beside her.

“Very.”

“It’s literally nine o’clock. Are we old, Tor?”

“Old? No. Codependent? Maybe.”

“We been living apart a year and a half. Maybe we’re just a clique.”

“Very true. We’re like if the plastics were millennials who had been married a decade.”

“We should write that script.”

“Forget law school. Teen movie parodies based around our marriage.”

“Perfect. I’ll drop all my classes tomorrow.”

“I missed you. It’s been nice talking all the time.”

“I missed you too,” he murmured, watching her with his cheek pressed to the pillow. 

“Regardless of if you’re ready to tell me, I wanna keep talking a lot.”

“I’m ready. I just was going to wait. Don’t wanna ruin our weekend.”

“I feel like you’re going to tell me and realize I don’t care as much as you thought. Unless you fucked somebody.”

“First, last, and only, Tor.” He rolled onto his back, taking a deep breath, and Victoria knew him well enough to know this really was going to be the moment. She sat up, legs tucked beneath her. Leaning towards him a little, she put her hand on his chest and rubbed what she hoped were soothing circles as he put his hands behind his head. When he was nervous, Sonny talked to the ceiling, just needing her to anchor him.

“Just trust me, okay?”

“I trust you, vita mia,” he murmured, and that particular Italian term of endearment let her know it was really happening. “You remember when my hours changed? End of 2011. Became a detective. Acted funny when you took me upstate. A year before I fucked up and forgot your birthday bakery combo dinner.”

“Of course.”

“I was working homicide.”

“Okay?”

“It really fucked me up, Tor. What I seen, it was so bad. The women. There were so many women, and they’d be so pristine. One of them was in a fuckin’ dumpster even. But he took all the time to give her a bath and do her make up and get her dressed. And you know what that always told me?”

“What?” she whispered, taking the hand that went from behind his head to rest on top of hers.

“It was their husband or boyfriend. The person who they trusted. And their faces were so peaceful, Victoria. They knew what was coming. And I’d go talk to people. You know what they’d say? They weren’t surprised. They’d seen it. They’d heard it. Those men hurt their wives and girlfriends. Took advantage of the fact they trusted and loved them. I started seeing you when I saw them, Tor.”

“Sonny,” she whispered, hating the way his voice sounded. It was thick with emotion, and he’d closed his eyes. She was well aware that if he opened them, they’d be rimmed red and tears would be falling. “This is what you couldn’t tell me?”

“You’re so proud of me. I didn’t want to disappoint you. I couldn’t sleep and it hurt so badly. I’d wake up freaking because I thought it was you. I’d never hurt you, but my brain just- I don’t know. And then you’re so good. You deal with cakes and fondant and cannoli and things that make people happy. I was so scared that if I talked about it, it would blot out the light in you. I felt like the only light I had was you. I think I pulled away because of that and it snowballed. When it got so bad, the last six months? It got to the point I thought all that darkness and the stuff I was seeing and the stuff my brain was picturing would- fuck- leak into you through osmosis or something. When I wanted to tell you, my brain would just change the words I wanted to say.”

“Sonny, I didn’t know it was like that,” she murmured. 

“You couldn’t have known. I wouldn’t tell you.”

“I should have figured it out.”

“Don’t do that, doll. If you’re willing to trust me to tell you moving forward, I just want to move forward.”

“I shouldn’t have left, Dominick. You were hurting, and I just abandoned you.”

“I was depressed. I should have told you or talked to someone. Being depressed doesn’t make it okay to neglect you. I need to take care of myself.”

“And I should have stuck with you. Figured out the why.”

“You did though. I’ve known that I can come to you for the last two years. I just couldn’t get past myself. Doc’s been working through it with me. Says I gotta learn that dad bottling it up wasn’t good. It works better for him and ma because she couldn’t read him when they met. I never had to tell you so I didn’t know how. And then dad doesn’t believe in men sharing their feelings. It’s easy to ignore that for the good feelings. I didn’t want you to think I wasn’t tough enough.”

“I didn’t know how to tell you how I was feeling. I knew you saw dark stuff and I was scared to make it worse. I didn’t want to pressure you.”

“Are we okay?” His voice was almost pleading, barely a whisper as his eyes finally opened to look at her. She laid against him, cupping his cheek as his hand flew to rest on hers. They were both crying, and she hated it. She hated to know that it was such a stupid miscommunication. If she’d pressed on it, taken guesses, asked around, maybe she could’ve helped him not hurt. This new squad seemed good for him, and therapy was helping. She probably needed to address their relationship more in therapy, learn how to ask for what she needed. They had to an extent, helping her hold out as long as she had for him to open up.

“We’re okay, Sonny. I’m so proud of you.” She was nudging his nose with her own, not dropping his gaze. 

“Thank you for being so patient.”

“I’d have waited for ya forever. First, last, and only, Sonny.”

“Come home.”

“We gotta consolidate now,” she teased gently. “But I’ll come home.”

“It’s in Brooklyn now. You’ll like it. I didn’t even get rid of that stupid dog statue.”

“He’s a very important dog statue.” 

“I love you, you weirdo.”

“I love you too, nerd.” He missed laughing with her, even when they were both crying. The relief that flooded him was suddenly exhausting. Not telling her had been heavy on him for a long time, but he didn’t expect his body’s physical response to the openness. He felt like he did before he went on this pointless journey to hide the bad parts of his field from her. She knew what he did. She kissed him, slow and sweet and loving, and Sonny’s arms snaked around her. They’d kissed plenty since she left, but there was always a hesitance behind it. Unsureness around their status. Now, he was kissing his wife, not his estranged wife. Even if it took time, they were working towards her coming back home. They hadn’t had sex since their ill fated first run in post separation. It was slow and sentimental, and afterwards, he had a half second of panic she’d disappear. Instead of pulling away like his gut wanted, he curled around her frame, nuzzled into the crook of his neck. 

“I missed that,” he murmured. 

“Me too.” She rested her hand on his, and he could feel that she was smiling in how her cheeks moved. He felt greedy, wanting to feel every bit of her skin he was able to before he fell asleep. When he woke to find her still there, he was relieved, and even better, she’d twisted in the night, leg hooked over his hip and her chest pressed to his. They’d spent most of the night talking or tangled together, so they’d slept in until ten o’clock. He checked his phone to be sure everyone had made it through the night before. Once he reminded his mom he was spending the weekend and really wouldn’t be at Sunday dinner, he settled back in to watching her. After a while, she started to stir, pulling him closer. She’d been right, everything had changed once he told her. He didn’t feel like he had to keep any space between them.

“Morning, beautiful,” he whispered, and she stretched her arms over her head.

“Heya, handsome.” She pressed a kiss to his lips, and it took all his attention not to take her again. He’d made plans for the day, and he was determined to stick to them. Even if they hadn't reconciled, she was a sucker for the beach, even when it was cold, so he’d planned to take her to lunch, take her to get her nails done, and take her to walk the little shops he’d found. It would make her smile, and he’d missed the little trips they’d taken before. Other than going to the cabin, something she’d planned, it had been years between work and school and money. For their tenth anniversary, he was already planning, even though there was just over a year to plan. He wanted to take her back to New Orleans, just the pair of them together now and no disappointment on her part that her mom was there but ignoring her. 

“I planned a day for us.” His hands trailed her spine, and he realized something else had shifted since he told her the reality. While he thought it wasn’t possible, he felt even closer to her. The men in his family, though well intentioned, had always told him it would be viewed as weaker to share his emotional world with anyone. They thought it was a little girly for him to be as sappy with her as he tended to be, tearing up at weddings and when he talked about how proud of her he was. But the bad things? Those were weaknesses that would drive her away. The realization that the depression and inability to separate work from her didn’t scare her off made him realize that letting her see it wasn’t going to break them. Hell, it seemed to bring her closer.

“Really?”

“Yeah. Lunch on the beach. Little walk on the beach after. Manicure- I know you, Tor. Don’t try to say you got one for Bella’s weddin. You love them but won’t take yourself ever- and then we can walk around some of the little shops and stuff.”

“That sounds like a real romantic day, Dom.”

“What can I say? I learned my lesson about not being romantic.”

“I’m excited to come home.”

“Me too, Tor.”

Simblr Community Challenge

Thank you to @sims4italianfan for tagging me!

How long have you been playing the Sims? I bought The Sims 4 in the summer of 2016, so about four and a half years ago. Before that I played The Sims FreePlay on my phone, but I don’t remember when I started 😅 

How long have you been a simblr and why did you become one? I made my first post on this blog in June 2018 and started posting regularly in January 2019, so it’s been 2 years now! Before that I had another blog which I used to follow other simblrs but it was deleted (after the minimum age for having a social media account in the EU was increased). I was a bit frustrated at the time, but looking back I guess this gave me the opportunity to start anew and make my own content here on simblr. And my reason for becoming one was because I really enjoy seeing what others come up with and wanted to share a little bit of my own stuff 😊 Although I don’t tend to talk a lot to people here, I appreciate you all so much, especially my mutuals! 

What type of simblr are you? I generally post lookbooks, sim downloads, gameplay and sometimes room builds. I don’t use custom content, only some mods and poses.

Which generation of Sims do you primarily play? The Sims 4

Rules - Tag some people and let the community bonding commence!
