#the sims 4 soap opera

[lollipopsimblr]

Morning of Cassandra's daughter birthday at the Landgraab Tower.

This is where I left off my gameplay almost 1 year ago! I stopped playing Sims and posting here for 1 year, but like I say - I always come back!

I played a lot in the past days and there is big sale of all DLCs and I had a lot of thoughts.. about how sad it is that EA hates us, give the Sims the worst developers and the DLCs are just so sad, sloppy and full of lost potential.. I will not buy them no more because there is no gameplay and I have too many cities already, that's sad :( It could have been such a great game if they gave a slightest fuck and add any gameplay of whatsoever..

Lots to catch up with this wonderful community, hopefully YOU didn't leave! ☺️💖

Episode 4: Ready to drop

Agnes had been busy all day. She had spent the morning maintaining the property and now was spending the afternoon on her ward, Violet. They had done homework, extra credit, a project and some work on character values.

Agnes was pooped! How did people do this? It was so much more challenging than running her flower stall. She really was ready to drop! She decided to ring her cousin Agatha to invite her to stay over. Maybe she would know what to do with the girl… was handy with a paintbrush…and besides, she missed her. After that she took a minute to close her eyes, but then heard some strange cries… Why were her tenants always making such strange, loud noises?

On going to investigate, she found Trina Tickle who had clearly gone into labour. Agnes sighed. This was what happened when people canoodled. They reaped what they sowed.

However, as Teddy was still at work, Agnes decided she’d better take her to the hospital herself, rather than risk any more mess on the apartment floor.

Trina’s twins were delivered by Dr. Bennett Betterman, who confided to Agnes that he and his family were looking for a temporary rental property while they searched for their forever home. Agnes nodded in approval (imagine - a doctor would really raise the tone at Crumplebottom Villas)! She invited him to come round to visit.

After a brief labour (god I wish my labour had been as quick as a Sims), Trina’s twins Toby and Tate were safely delivered!

Agnes stopped trying to smooze Dr Betterman and stared in awe and disbelief. Maybe the tiredness was making her delusional, or maybe she was softening, as she fell in love with the twins at first sight and insisted on becoming their godmother.

Morgan's looks for the Globetrotter Challenge (I'll probably use the Expanded version).

one of the benefits of having a service dog is bringing them to places that don’t normally allow dogs. mango always enjoys a nice day at the amusement park :)

Grace: Come see the rest of the place! It was so fun to design it myself, I swear it was a project that brought me back to life a little! Everything is exactly how I want it too!

Whitney: That's good. If you could just point us to the rooms-

Santos: Giving another grand tour, baby?

Grace: Oh I wasn't sure if you were home! Santos, this is some of my family. Everyone this is Santos.

Santos: Sup.

Whitney: Yeah. Hi. Mother, we're a bit tired so we'll just head to our rooms thanks.

Grace: [annoyed sigh] They're the last doors down the gallery.

Charlotte: Cool! I'm gonna go play!

Santos: We should def all go out for dinner, yeah?

Grace: Great idea! I'll get reservations at our favorite spot.

Sorella: Your side of the family is bizarre.

Whitney: Tell me about it...

Would you believe they have one of the craziest storylines ever written?

Be on the look out to congratulate the newly wedded couple of Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Michaels 🥺❤️

Hi!!! Your posts are always amazing and I have so many bookmarked because you create the best little collections. Anyway, I am in a big BL rut right now and I can't seem to get into anything. Any fast-paced, recs that can bring me out of my slump? Thanks so so much :)

Oooo, fast paced is pretty subjective lemme think...

Imma got with the narrative sense of the word pacing (rather than just an in-your-face fast-moving plot, although that too,) so: good tension, craft, and narrative. Here's my pulls - I went broad and into the well, in case you had seen some recent stuff.

10 Fast-Paced BLs to Pull You Out of a Slump

(I'm assuming you have seen KinnPorsche)

I did a quick pitch for each cause I'm drunk so maybe they're funny, all spelling errors are my own and the result of growing up in 3 different English speaking nations and 2 non-English ones.

Someone wanted more elevator pitches a while ago, here ya go!

Our Dating Sim - nerds in love, reunion, deadlines, gaming, teasing, pining tiny idiots, ADORABLE

2. Semantic Error - you cannot be a BL fan and not have watched this, the ultimate enemies to lovers, also the prettiest

3. To My Star - neurotic actor (actual puppy), grumpy chef, sparks, cooking lessons, LOVE!

4. We Best Love - defines fast paced in romance, literally when asked why his character fell in love so fast Yu said, "well I only had one 20 minute episode." Yet... we BELIEVED IT.

5. HIStory 2: Crossing the Line - it's a perfect sports romance, don't bother me with trifles

6. Not Me - also how do you say antidisestablishmentarianism in Thai? + hot boys kissing who probably shouldn't be and convoluted soap opera identical twins plot... someone at GMMTV thought it made sense, we just here for the tattoos and the the Pride scene

7. The Eighth Sense - who let Korea be this angsty? SO MUCH TENSION.

8. Unintentional Love Story - omg the plot, forced into a totally understandable betrayal, falling in love despite himself, put into a corner he can't get out of, the AGONY, the eyes EMOTING at us in PAIN

9. HIStory 3: Trapped - hot cop falls in love with hotter mafia boss he is chasing for MURDER (bonus weirdly domesticated switch-blade wielding hit-man obsessed with geeky police tech support - COME ON)

10. Long Time No See - assassins, cat fishing, either side of a turf war, HOT sex scenes then even hotter beating the shit out of each other and kissing while COVERED IN BLOOD (this came from KOREA?)

There.

All kinds of flavors.

One of them just HAS to work!

If not, you could go for shorts. Try Strongberry:

I turned on my computer and saw that I still had the sims 4 downloaded and recently updated and it made me remember the time I created Sephiroth, Lucrecia, Vincent and Hojo 💀

I remember Vincent and Lucrecia had a fight when she got pregnant and stayed in bad terms with each other since then. Hojo and Vincent already hated each other since their first meeting so Vincent stopped coming over their house.

And when Seph was a teenager Lucrecia invited Vincent over (I have no idea why maybe they made amends when I wasn't watching?) and Hojo found out and slapped Lucrecia (gasp) Sephiroth saw them and got into an argument with Hojo but then Hojo slapped Sephiroth too (gasp)

And I saw all that drama unfold like I was watching a soap opera, one of my best playthroughs without a doubt.

I completely skipped over the first paragraph and was desperately trying to remember where in the compilation did I miss all of this 💀 10/10 playthrough.

[profesionalpartyguest]

my contender for @cobycobsy2k's bachelor challenge! DOWNLOAD HER HERE! what's not big about Hazal Nebahat? she's got big boobs, big lips, big cleavage, big hair, big temper, big scandals, big fame, big houses and, although unknown to the general public, big talent. classically trained in shakespeare from a young age, her main goal in life is to become famous as REAL FILM ACTOR, not to be stuck doing the same roles on various mega popular soap operas. she's going on this show as a way to introduce herself to studio town (she doesn't really care for love or whoever the bachelors are). she's ready for her close up, bitch. More info under the cut!

she only wears the most beautiful all-about-style & Joebart courture. ofc. her personality is: 4/5/7/8/1. she's turkish but is fluent in english. she aspires to popularity. her lifetime goal is to become an Icon (in the acting career from University). also also. she comes with 1 new piece of cc, a skinblend! made specifically with her in mind. note that the changes are AF only!

(yes i used a face shine for a reason). the body textures are from joebart, the face textures is a blend of textures @whysim & @glorianasims. lips are from sims3melancholic, nose is an edit one from leh, eyelids are a blend of lilith-sims's dewy eyeshadow & io's eyelids, teeth and tongue are from sixfoothsims, blush is from pralinesims. additional hand-painting, recoloring & editing by me!

sweet beginnings tag

I was tagged by fellow crusty simblr elder @bastardtrait <3

This tag is all about looking at your past. All you need to do is to find one of the first screenshots you ever took (preferably also published), and post it beside the recent one! And tell everybody when you took that first picture! Oh, and don’t forget to tag your posts! #sweet beginnings tag

I deleted A LOT of my old posts so I had to DIG. First picture is from my first ever legacy the Schipano Legacy. I know I started posting on this blog in February 2014, but I believe this screenshot is from late 2013? I was lurking on simblr from my superwholock blog (no, not kidding) starting in 2013 but at the time I was really intimidated (lol I KNOW) because everyone had these poses and custom hairs and elaborate soap opera story lines. So I prepped for months to come up with the perfect legacy backstory LMAO. That toddler - Starr Schipano - was an orphan raised by her grandfather and ended up in a love triangle with the generic white boy next store and her adopted cousin??? It was 2013 okay idk.

Second picture is from my current Normal LEPacy gameplay this is (spoilers, I guess) Bunny Normal the generation 21 heiress of the legacy!!!

I literally want to see everyone's version of this but I am especially tagging @getboolpropped @resurrectonomitron @magicbats @pixelswirl @faeriefrolic and @hypnofrogs

some bonus firsts under the cut since I have a lot

First berry sweet sims were the mango perfect genetics challenge which I believe I started posting in summer 2014? I even did my first bachelor challenge and only completed bachelor challenge with gen 2 of that legacy. This was the founder Margot Mango and her son ... Remy? apparently I was in a french phase lol

First time ever playing the sims 4 was when I started my pancakes legacy in October 2015 (literally 8 years ago HOW). But I still didn't like the sims 4 so that quickly led to me creating John Waffles, founder of the Waffles Lepacy in November 2015.

Lastly, generation 1 of the Normal Lepacy (when I was neck deep in my cut out phase) which was February 2021. The Normals are my both my chaos and my comfort save. Funny story the other day my partner saw me editing my new family tree the other day and asked me "wait, you're still playing with the family of the guy with the weird name who looked like John Oliver???" and then we went through every heir to see who he remembered (honestly a surprising amount lol)

I’m WCIF friendly, but I also have a lot of old stuff in my game, so I can’t guarantee anything. I should at least be able to give you names though! Please send them via ask though, otherwise I might miss them or forget!

I make TS2 CC exclusively (you will find no ts4 cc here.) and write semi-interesting soap opera style posts based vaguely around gameplay. (with a lot of artistic liberty.) That being said, my writing has some darker themes. I tag appropriately with “tw xxx” as the standard. (ie: “tw death”) please read at your own risk. I’m willing to add extra tw tags for regular readers/mutuals/etc if you send me a dm.

if you follow me with an empty blog that has no pfp or a generic ‘hot person’ pfp I’m gonna assume you’re a bot and block you. just a heads up.

(if you only want to see my posts, and no reblogs, all my posts are tagged "my posts" for more specifics, read on)

Current Story (Master Post)

Ten years ago, Arkhelios' "quiet" town was thrown into chaos when one of their beloved founders, Abraham Helios, was found murdered in the park one late night. With no real leads, and no laws as safety nets in place, the case went cold and the town hasn't been the same since. Salem Bellamy stepped up to take over in Abraham's wake, but the peace that followed is strained at best. With new complications on the rise, and the older generation fighting to establish a social hierarchy, the younger generation of residents struggle to find their place, and move on from their traumatic childhoods. But can one really move on, when what's dead and buried doesn't stay that way?

My Custom Content:

Note:

My custom content follows the same tagging system I use for cc finds, so it will also be mixed in with those tags if you’re looking for something specific. You can also find only my custom content via the “dl: xxx” tags (ie: “dl: hair”) or on my Pillowfort.

TOU is basically just don’t say you made it yourself, feel free to do whatever you want with it though, just don’t put anything created with my shit behind a paywall… and idek a link/credit or an @ would be pretty chill. it’s not 100% necessary though.

I don’t really take requests, but feel free to make a suggestion. Just don’t be alarmed if I say I’m not interested.
