Uberhood rotation - Lothario update (s0e1)

Hi, cuties!  Since I take a gazillion screenshots per session, I figured I might as well post some of them here. I’m already 8 rounds into my Uberhood rotation so before I start posting (fairly) regularly, I’d love to make an update post for each(ish) family!

 The Lothario family obviously comes first. :P

While being a grade-A slut with commitment issues for most of his early 20s, Don was profoundly drawn back to Nina Caliente; again and again. The deal was sealed when she appeared at his doorstep one morning, announcing her unexpected pregnancy.  Don could’ve dashed, sure, but instead, he took it as a sign from the universe to finally take responsibility - possibly for the first time ever. 

Don and Nina moved in together shortly after. Their first place was a cozy apartment downtown where they enjoyed the early family years. Although they didn’t let go of their player tendencies at first, they always lived a comfortable, harmonious life. With Devon growing up and another baby on the way, the family moved into a house nearby. 

Don couldn’t believe his eyes when his child (allegedly* his) turned out to be blonde and ...a little green. That’s when Nina dropped the “Oh yeah, my grandfather was an alien!” bomb on him. 

Devon is a sweet 16-year-old girl who spends her days hanging out with friends, watching anime, and drawing. Her best friend is her cousin Jasmine, daughter of Dina Caliente. Despite being shy and not too eager to jump into relationships, teenage boys from all over the town are obsessed with her. It’s the inborn Lothario rizz, I’m telling y’all. 

The second Lothario child is Xavier. He shares the green hue of his skin with Devon; with the difference of a tan vitiligo spot covering his right eye, eyebrow and cheek. 

The Lothario family is incredibly close with the Landgraab family - Malcolm, Dina (Nina’s sister) and Jasmine. 

Here’s elderly Don on his way to rizz up elderly Nina. They’re the fucking CUTEST. 

Thanks for reading!  The Goth family will be next!

I started a Sims 2 rotation for Pleasantview so here's my update for Spring Year 1!

Broke: as you might have guessed, the Broke's are in a bit of a shambles. Brandi had twin girls and still wants more kids, so Dustin is scrabbling to keep his three siblings happy and fed whilst the house falls apart around them. Poor guy ):

Dreamer: Cassandra and Darren got married and had a kid together! But she doesn't seem too taken with Dirk...

Goth: Dina married Mortimer and is pregnant with his kid, but how long with the facade last? She spends most of the time lounging around playing mahjong with her sister and Brandi which absolutely doesn't surprise me. Plus Alexander grew up into a very cute teen.

Caliente: Nina is living her best life and sleeping with every man in town, including Don Lothario for reasons I can't fathom aaaand that's pretty much it for her. Don is also in the rotation but I forgot a photo, he's not doing a lot apart from also sleeping around town.

Burb: One of my favourite bin families, they're just being cute! Lucy is a lovely big sister to Edward and although they haven't got a lot of money, they seem to be doing well. John is apparently terrified of having another kid though.

Pleasant: The Pleasants are... a mess, as always. The girls are at each other's throats constantly and Mary Sue had another baby (Felix) to try and fix things, because that always works. Lilith is doing well for herself though!

Newson: I lowkey love these guys and I'm so proud of them because they're doing their best despite their shitty circumstances. They live in a teeny trailer I built for them ^_^

[bunnithechubs]

Rotation: Penny

Despite being only single for a few days Penny feels great! No more dealing with a serial liar and cheater... until she gets one too many hard ciders in her. Then her self control just poofs away.

While everyone was away at school or at work, little Freya aged up! She wasn't so little anymore!

After eating the lunch Helga left her, she headed into her owner's bedroom and hopped onto her bed to take a nap.

Clearly she had a favorite.

Make the Most of It

- -

Roo boarded a busy bus after an outing with Rylan, and Roo knew the trip was going to be a long one and fell asleep. After sometime, an aching worry creeped into his stomach and began waking him up, and all it took was a gust of summer wind, and an acrid smell of oil to fully wake him up, which was just in time to read his unexpected welcome into Strangetown. Like most people, he inched towards the front to ask the bus driver where in god's name he was, but... there was no bus driver! Who was driving the bus? Where did everyone AND the bus driver go? How did they get here? How long had Roo been asleep? So many questions and all left unanswered as he departed the bus. Curiously, he approached the front door of a home nearby, where he saw a sign that said "This home is now property of Roo Norman," and although he was incredibly stressed and worried, the harsh wind gave him a feeling... He knew he was gonna be here for a long time... So with a free home, sparse money to his name and practically a new life, Roo figured it was best to make the most of this unexpected "vacation"...

Make the Most of It (MtMoi) is a Sims 2 Rotational Save/Series set in Strangetown, of course with a twist as Roo enters the Sims 2 ring and rotation pool. - -

[ more information + transcript will be under the cut ]

Types of Posts I'm gonna try and do a couple different type of posts; -Main posts will have more effort/editing put into them and are more than likely to be of Roo. -Side posts are going to have less effort, and will be where I post little tidbits and/or wrap-ups of a rotation I'm still debating how I wanna do this as I do wanna make Main posts centered around other sims but idk... 🤔 Post Schedule I'm really bad at scheduling posts im gonna be honest 😪 Taking how back-n-forth my burnout/motivation bursts can be into consideration, I'm gonna shoot for once or twice a week with the main posts/roo updates, and once a week with the side posts/rotation updates Side post posting frequency may differ depending on how often I play

The Broke household. Summer, rotation 1. Part 2: Tragedy strikes again

Before Dustin even had the chance to try figure his life out, tragedy hit the family again. During school hours, a lightning strike hit one of the trees in the backyard, and without even thinking, Brandi ran outside and got caught in the flames. Both she and her unborn baby tragically died in the fire that day.

Not only had Dustin lost both his parents but now he was the one responsible for his little brother, too. He knew it meant he had to give up his plan to go to college. Beau needed him, now more than ever.

After the death of his mother, Dustin completely gave up on school. What was the point, anyway? He knew that his best chance in life was the criminal career in which he had already gotten a head start. Once he became an adult he let his boss Gordon King know he was ready to take his job more seriously from now on. He had no other choice. His little brother depended on him.

A short summary of what happened in the Broke round: - Dustin had his first kiss and first woohoo with Angela Pleasant, and they fell in love - Dustin was promoted to level 3 in his part-time job in the criminal career - Dustin graduated from high school with awful grades and grew up badly - Beau learned to walk and grew up well - Beau became best friends with Dustin and Desdemona Capp - Brandi and her unborn child died in a fire T____T

Uberhood rotation - Goth update (s0e2)

It's the Goth family's turn!

I'll go over the most important events that took place after I began my Uberhood rotation. And it's gonna be a doozy.

If you're not a fan of all the jabbering, at least take a peek at the screenshots, they're cute and/or hilarious. I PROMISE!

Mortimer Goth married Dina Caliente shortly after Bella's disappearance - within a year if we want to be specific. Regardless of what the back-fence talk was, Mortimer truly loved her and she loved him. The thing most of the blabbermouths missed was how Mortimer and Bella's marriage lost its spark years before the incident even took place. The high school sweethearts simply drifted apart, ending up unfulfilled and bored in the long run, and the separation process was in motion. It's not surprising that Mortimer Goth became the main suspect in the beginning stages of police investigations - the charges were dropped in short order though. While he was officially clear of blame, some residents of Pleasantview held onto their own hunches. His son Alexander was one of them.

Deep inside, Alexander knew it was a setup. Misconduct of SOME kind must have taken place. It HAD to. The whole thing just didn't add up - the timing, the circumstances, the so-called "proof" of everyone's innocence, the "investigation", and most of all, the silence. The God-forsaken, gut-wrenching, agonizing, harrowing silence that swallowed the town whole. One day, Bella was there and she was gone the other. That's how it all went down, simple as that. It's like everyone around him was playing pretend that she was never there to begin with, making him feel utterly alone and at the edge of insanity.

And so he began his own investigation, confidently believing that his father was to blame.

Although he knew Lilith by sight, mainly because his sister Cassandra babysat the Pleasant twins years ago, he finally got to know her at college. After some long night walks, diner dates, and a few kisses shared over the grave of her late father, the deal was sealed. He loved her immensely. Lilith became the light in his sea of darkness, the serene voice in the torturous, mute void.

Mortimer died of old age around that time.

After they both successfully got their degrees, they moved back into the Goth mansion together. To say Lilith was ecstatic would be an understatement; oh the delightful life she was almost guaranteed... She could finally be at peace. Safe.

With two children around and one on the way, Lilith was preoccupied with the homely duties of your average parent. Those same duties caused Alexander great agony; he's gone completely off-grid. He felt immense guilt for getting carried away from what mattered the most; the truth. Enlightenment.

His frustration caused him to behave rather recklessly and in a desperate attempt to feel closer to that alluring enlightenment, he ended up luring a grand vampire into the mansion and locking her up in the attic, right where his father's experiments took place. While the first days were rough, soon it almost felt like she wasn't interested in getting away anymore. With time passing they bonded, one thing soon led to another and...

He became a creature of the night.

As pale as paper and as thin as bone, eyes red like fire glimmering with lust. At moments entirely weak, sporadically oozing power.

(He felt a wee bit silly in the last shot.)

And you know what's hilarious about all of this? His family was clueless. Not forever, but for an embarrassingly long while. Taking care of three toddlers while your husband locks himself up in the attic 24/7 causes you to become exhausted and absentminded at times? No way! What?!

Anyway, the grand vampire dashed after successfully turning Alexander. His family understood that the state he found himself in wasn't a simple case of flu when they saw his skin burn up at the slightest touch of sunlight. That and his teeth. And eyes. And the constant "Bleeh!"ing. Oh and the bat form. That felt a little out of place.

Lilith wanted to support her sweetheart in his dreams but it was getting harder and more taxing with time. She never saw him anymore. It felt like he never showed interest in her or their children anymore. The days were the worst; that's when the Goth mansion fell completely silent, with Alexander deep in slumber and the children at school.

She isn't proud of it. Who in their right mind would be? She's betraying Alexander, the children... Herself. But is it really that simple?

She believes it's the crippling exhaustion and loneliness that led her into Dustin's arms. With him, she has something special; history. Intertwined, complicated history that goes back years and years. The sense of familiarity brings her sheer comfort in these trying times. Oh, what they've been through...

Don't get her wrong though; she didn't act on it. Physically speaking, at the very least.

Stay tuned to find out more about this drama in the Pleasant family and the Broke family update. :P

Lilith, Alexander being spooky in a tank top and their first son Edgar just chilling.

Edgar trying to bond with a school friend while his father's being his good ol' stinky vampire self.

That's it for now! If you made it this far, thank you so MUCH for basically reading my messy game notes.

Writing all of this out is really helping me remember all the plot points happening in my game and sharing the screenshots just brings me so much joy. Man, this is fun.

[slyndseyy]

So I started playing an Uberhood for the first time in my simming career. I have never seriously played any of them, so I am excited to see how it goes. We are starting with Pleasantview and Strangetown, and I added the Downtown and all the downtownies as well.

I am only playing this on stream, twitch.tv/slyndsey if you want to follow along. :)

Rotation: Penny

Working for Diego Lobo as a media intern has it's perks- like work from f@#$ing home fridays! Which means Penny's day is filled with referencing the foundational knowledge of the color wheel in emails to boomers, mystery podcasts, and LOTS of yoga because health? However, Cain called to come over for the night since he was off of work two days in a row- lucky her!

[ice-creamforbreakfast]

I've been playing TS2 Pleasantview without really documenting much as it's more for my own entertainment. I thought I'd do a quick rundown of my activities though! Don Lothario (Rotation 1)

Don starts off as he means to go on. After inviting Nina Caliente over, he wasted no time and they woohoo'd in the hot tub. I honestly think Don and Nina are endgame. Tell me I'm wrong...I'll ignore you.

He then hired Kaylynn Langerak and proceeded to bonk her too.

(more below)

Don then invited Dina over for a very quick woohoo while the fortune teller told him he was heading for a fall.

Feeling slightly guilty, or perhaps not feeling guilty, but feeling like he probably should, he invited Cassandra over and woohoo'd with her in the same dirty water he woohoo'd Nina in earlier. Filth!

In between woohooing, Don worked on his skills as he wanted that promotion. In the back of his mind he knew he wanted a cushy job to fall back on should Cassandra ever find out. He used this time to woo(hoo) his co-workers. I will point out that's not Dustin Broke, it's his townie colleague Shea, sporting some familiar hair.

Don's uh...moongazing got him into trouble with Paris Hilton circa 2004 Dina Caliente, but it was worth it, as with his new abilities, he was made General Practitioner.

[melsie-sims2]

And that's it for the Hellsten family. Freya's adoption was definitely the highlight of the day.

The last household in the rotation is also the newest one, having been added only this year. Let's go see what the Astrons are up to in their new trailer!

[bloomingkyras]

Peacefully night in Sulani..
