#this must be from the woohoo wellness mod lol

[falsepsychictales]

three guesses, raz

[oshinsimblr]

hey friends! i was unable to post all of my early access content bc i'm sick. but i was able to post this video, which in my honest opinion are the major features in this 'romance' pack.

IS IT WORTH $40?

DEPENDS ON HOW BADLY YOU NEED THESE FEATURES TBH.

this review is brought to you by the ea creator network. all of my opinions are my own. i must disclose this per FTC guidelines #ad.

*i do not cover everything in the pack, only the things that stood out for me lol. i'm sorry i'm not used to doing full reviews up here

the attraction system is helpful and expands dating (which is great, but we've had mods that could do this for some time: pick your poison). the romantic satisfaction is the star here. i love being able to create one sided relationships and actually take care of our romantic relationships with sims. this is a valuable feature for me!

cupid's corner is a nice "hey i don't need this mod" anymore type of feature. prior to this i was using lumpinou's meet & mingle which allowed me to meet with sims (platonic and romantic). i dislike that you can not write custom bio's for your sims. i love the way the app functions, i love saving sims and adding them to our rel. panel - and getting to know them through the phone first. i wish we could've defined our sims favorite music/foods/color etc.

i'll admit it, i'm a sucker for dynamics. family dynamics from the sims 4 growing together are so good (minus the fact that everyone wants to be f*cking jokesters after one joke lol). but i love them! they really do impact my sims relationships. the different romance dynamics are interesting. for example: a strained romance dynamic makes it VERY hard for your sims to communicate. it's like your sims will randomly hug each other, but then 5 secs later they're upset. they want to love each other so badly but they can't lol.

now onto random things that excited me. you can go to cupid's couples counseling. i did not know we'd actually be able to answer questions. these sims had a strained romance dynamic and it was so bad - the therapist suggested we come back. but when i tried to schedule it again, they were booked and i had to wait to schedule another appt. which is great, because in the meantime your sims are going downhill fast and you have to keep the peace until then (if you choose).

there are new pop ups and invites. there's even one for a reality dating show lol. you can turn these off in game settings. (if you're wondering, mr. landgrabb never showed up at the motel he wanted to meet at. he stood my sim up. don't judge me, i thought there was simoleons involved).

new crafted dates are cool. you can choose whatever you want to do on them. there's new social interactions based on the activities you choose. you can also invite other sims to these (double dates woohoo!) you can also create crafted hangouts. i like these, i got this cute picture as a reward after a succesful crafted hangout. if you're familiar with mws weddings, it's the same idea. except this works well and isn't as glitchy lol..

another random feature i never needed, but now i find it useful. you can create your own relationship label that will appear in the rel. panel

it's unfair how gorgeous this world is... because there's nothing to do. this is all set dressing.

you can declare your love here.. at the wall of love.

you can buy flowers or edible sweet treats at this shop in the background.

you can get local food here. there are 3 new dishes and spicy hot chocolate. now, i'm not mexican (the world is inspired by mexico) BUT 3 new foods isn't cutting it for me. technically only 2, because one is a vegan option. no pozole, enchiladas, guacamole, tamales?? i'm a foodie, so i take full offense to that.

you can woohoo or sleep at the motel.

you can travel.

go fishing or enjoy a swim.

sit here and chat.

view this for a moodlet.

travel again.

check in a penthouse.

there's a nightclub, gym and lounge. but you get the idea.. there's nothing culturally unique about this world which makes me sad. no festivals? i'd love seeing a mariachi band play at the lounge. something. otherwise, keep the world and add more features right? i would've loved table proposals (sims 2 anyone?). or frisky couch makeouts. so many missed opportunities here.

there's more i could say but i feel like this post should be a little helpful in deciding wether this is a pack you need right now, or wait for a sale! i personally love having a complete colection, so i've always wanted every expansion. though i recieve the pack for free, i owe you my honesty and i want to start doing blog/written content because it's easier to process my thoughts through the excitment. i will enjoy this pack, i do like it, and only time will tell as i integrate it with my current gameplay. i hope this was helpful!

* if you remember, use my code OSHINSIMS at checkout if you decide to purchase this pack. that way, at least i get a % of your purchase and EA doesn't get all your coins 😉

thank you! just keeping simming, always stay wavy, peace x

The Sims 4 Siren Challenge:

**Edit** You can't have a basement on the 50x50 sulani lot sooo make a servants quarters instead****

By Life Of An NPC (A.K.A Takara The NPC)

Tag me on Twitter @ Takara_the_NPC in any screenshots or videos you do of this challenge!

Subscribe to my YT https://www.youtube.com/@Life_Of.An_NPC

Backstory:

Your sim is MAD! They rescued a sailor and gave them the amulet to be able to breath underwater because they said they LOVED your sim! What a load of barnacles! As soon as your sim brought them to Underwaterland (feel free to come up with a better name lol) that wretched sailor got all three of your sister’s pregnant!

Humans. Are. EVIL! They are now the enemy! Your family doesn’t agree with your conquest for revenge, so you leave them behind and move to Sulani with the humans. Your goal is simple, make them feel the pain you felt and end on top of them all! Prove to your family that mermaids are above humans in every way possible!

What is The Goal?

Have $1,000,000 and a large mansion by seducing human sims and stealing their money!

Max at least 10 skills

The Rules!

When You Begin:

Your sim MUST be a mermaid and can only live in Sulani on the 50x50 empty lot (excluding if they move in with seduced sims - once they have “dealt” with their seduced sim, they must return to their lot in Sulani)

Your sim must start with $0 since they use seashells as currency in Underwaterland

Housekeeping Rules:

Money cheats are not allowed (unless you're taking away money for whatever odd reason). The only way you can make money is by searching the sand, stealing from seduced sims or by using your “servants”.

If a skill allows you to make money (for example selling paintings with the painting skill), you are allowed to make money this way until you reach the max level. Once you have maxed out a skill, your sim can no longer use that skill to make money.

Mods are allowed for story telling purposes and gameplay but any mods that provide you with financial benefit are not allowed

The Juicy Stuff:

A sim is classified as ‘seduced’ after you have married them and had woohoo at least once

You can’t steal all of a sim's money! To know how much money you can steal from a sim, you must spin a wheel with the values: 0%, 1%, 5%, 20%, 30%, 50% and 75%

You can only steal from a seduced sim’s household funds and cannot sell their property for money

You can’t marry people from the same immediate family (so like you can marry a second cousin but not a brother)

Once you have stolen from a seduced sim you must either kill them or lock them in your basement (if you can afford to make one) and make them your servant

Romantic Servants:

There are two types of servants, human offspring and seduced sims who you have stolen from. A servant can make you money in any way possible, painting, gardening, or anything else you can think of. If your servant is an ex-lover, your sim must maintain a romance level for at least 50% with the servant. If your romance falls below 50% you must kill the servant because your “spell” will be broken and they will try run away and call the authorities or something xD

Servants must stay in the basement but can be released to do chores like cooking, cleaning or raising children etc. Once they finish their task they must return to the basement.

You can kill ex-lover servants at any time you please. Having a bad day? Take it out on a servant T-T

What About Children?

Risky woohoo must be set to at LEAST 20%

Children are a liability, any child that isn’t born a mermaid will automatically become an ‘Offspring Servant’

Mermaid children must be treated with LUXURY! SPOIL THEM AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!!! You must treasure them to make sure they are well taken care of.

Offspring Servants:

Offspring Servants don’t have to live in the basement

You shouldn’t give your offspring servants much attention but should value them more than Romantic Servants

Mermaid children should get priority over Offspring servants

You are allowed to be nice or even like some of your offspring servants if you want but not as much as your mermaid kids

When offspring servants become Young Adults they “Run Away”

Conclusion:

Get ready to become a horrible person and happy simming >3< xx

P.s. Let me know what changes I should make!

[sessakag]

Hey, just wondering... which mods are you using with The Sims?

I use so, so many mods it's ridiculous, lol, and my game is absolutely crazy I swear, but it's incredibly fun so, oh well!

Sacrificial Mods: Road to Fame, Zombie Apocalypse, Life Tragedies, Deadly Toddlers, Extreme Violence(for the gangs of course 😏), Passionate Romance, Torture & Chaos (I don't really use them all at once, I switch them up for whatever save file I'm in the mood to play in)

Caradriel: Better Babies and Toddlers, My Wedding

SimRealist: Banking, Real estate, Private Practice(adds allergies, heart attacks, doctor visits and all kinda fun scary stuff), Mortem, Home & Land. Co, Organic(the reason why Naruto and Sasuke have beards in my game)

Basemental: Drugs, Gangs (it is just as bad as you're probably imaging, lol, I should have took picture of the aftermath of their keg party after they graduated from university. I let them do whatever they wanted at the party.... they all got wasted. Hinata passed out several times, Sasuke used his vampire powers on innocent bystanders then passed out, Naruto fought a few people, went streaking then passed out, lmao, they almost missed graduation the next day they were so messed up!)

Chingyu: Faithfulness, 100 Custom Traits V2, Supernatural Traits

Mercuryfoam: Ballroom Dance

LUUMIA: Height Slider, Shorter Teen Pre-set

KiraSims4Mods: I Love you (this is so sweet! Sims can tell each other they love each other and the response are so adorable! 🥰)

SrslySims: Srsly's Complete Cooking Overhaul

SpinningPlumbobs: Werewolf Mod (very impressive since this added werewolves before the EA werewolf gamepack even came out!)

TwistedMexi: Better Exceptions (helps me keep track of broken or conflicting mods messing up the game in real time, absolute must have!)

Zero's Sims 4 Mods&Comics: Another too many to list, I use a lot of his tweaks for vampires and spellcasters, my top three are: RoM Master Magic, Immersive Vampires, Mental Health

I also have several hundred (maybe a thousand?) custom clothing, accessories, make-up, eyes, hair, etc. Several customized aspirations, and miscellaneous mods I didn't add to the list.

I think I'm up to almost 2,000 mods total now 😅thank goodness my laptop can handle it all and still make the game look pretty.

Narniapocalypse: Contrary, Spring, Round 1 (part one)

It's certainly been more interesting.

Violet and Rick took the kids to The Woods, while David stayed home to watch the babies. Two infants and two toddlers will soon be too much for one boy to babysit, but he did fine in the early part where all the motives are still green.

Violet actually had the strength to chop down trees, so I had her chop one while everyone else gathered sticks and berries and then fished. Perhaps this household will progress to carpentry if they make it past subsistence survival!

David struck water... and also managed to dig up a treasure chest. He did get seeds later, so nothing's broken or anything. I think I'll do the same rules the DeBateau household have, and require them to give half the treasure to the elf king.

There was a lot of chaos. Like, a lot. I don't remember what happened most of the time, and this was only an hour ago. Rick bonded a bit with Sharla a bit.

Our first romance! I decided finally to run the hood-wide gender pref--at low, so I can easily adjust it if I really want somebody to have babies--and David and Violet quickly decided they wanted to be together, despite only having one bolt. I'll definitely allow it, I think they're a decent match. They wasted absolutely no time getting down to woohoo. I made sure to adjust the risky chance after the first time--without modern birth control, there should be a 1 in 3 chance of pregnancy. Nothing so far but they are so excited to play with fire lol. Really do not want another baby in this household until the first batch of toddlers become children. It certainly helped a lot in keeping them happy!

Steven and Stephanie Ottomas aged up on Spring 2--they should have aged up on Spring 1, actually, but I missed that. Their ages have been corrected. Poor kids got hit with the Ottomas genes real hard.

Oh, and the kids accidentally went to school one day, which was very annoying but did soothe Isaiah Gavigan's nerves. I really must fix the institution sign or get another mod to prevent the school bus from coming. That's all for today, it was a total madhouse and I needed to do other things. Next time, we'll see Tommy Ottomas and Pauline Aspir age to child, and I think we'll get a couple of the children aging to teens as well. I'm also plotting to get some dug-up treasures sold to the Merchant and buying a random crop soon; it's very difficult for anybody to get away from toddler care right now.

[smallcatsims]

Would you ever consider typing out a mods list? Doesn’t have to be a full one at all. I love looking at your screenshots, especially the historical world! Thanks for sharing your gameplay either way:3

Maybe someday I would consider that, but my mods folder is so disorganized and messy I wouldn't know where to start. I was looking around in there just now and there's a fair bit of stuff I've never used or I have no idea what it is, lol. What I can do is link you to a bunch of resources that I used to put together my mods folder, and you can probably cobble together something similar enough if you wanted to. I will say also I have two Sims 2 folders, one for my historical gameplay and one for my modern stuff. That's the best way to do it, don't clutter up and confuse your modern mods folder if you have one. So, anyway, resources under the cut:

The Keep. This is an absolute treasure trove and must have for historical content. It's more focused on medieval content than the regency stuff I have, but a lot of it is good for lower class sims and some of it just works in general. A lot of my default replacements for various things are from here somewhere, including my default food. I use a lot of mods/content from the Sun and Moon sets to have functional farms/crafting. This is also where I got my mods for the gongs and my sims having to fetch water for baths/washing dishes. There are also medieval career replacements here. I used to use them but I'm slowly phasing in some career replacements I'm working on with some friends which are more 19th century/regency appropriate. I've released some of the ones I finished but many others are wip or include other people's work which I don't want to release early/without crediting them properly.

Almighty Hat. Brilliant creator who has all kinds of goodies. They make tons of furniture/recolors. My favorite content of theirs though is their default replacements. They replaced so many little things like the little shovels that sims use to clean litterboxes, or replacing the water balloons with pig bladders, etc. Definitely a must for any historical player.

Simbury. This creator is super nice and outrageously talented. Most of my regency specific stuff is made by her. Just.. gorgeous clothes, furniture, bonnets, etc. I cannot recommend her content enough. And she has a sims story on her blog, which is very good and I fully recommend as well.

y2sims. I use the new hair system and I have almost all of this person's hairstyles. Some of my hairs are from the Keep or Hat's website if I can't find them in the NHS textures, I'll just use the four pooklet colors that are in the NHS and try not to cringe too much at the shiny textures lol.

Default database. I've used this to find defaults for skins, eyes, clothes, etc. Especially for clothes, a lot of the defaults on the keep are medieval specific so this is a good place to find more regency-ish defaults. I also have some default face templates from here. I pick and choose depending on which templates I like. Some I just use the maxis template, some I use the hauntingly beautiful templates I made, and some I've taken from a set on the default database.

Cindy's site. This is still a fantastic list of some basic quality of life script mods that eliminate some annoying elements of the game. I personally use no hobby stalkers from MTS rather than the enthusiasm overhaul she lists here. My script mods aren't an exact copy of this but it's pretty similar. I think cyjon and simlogical are linked here. I use many of the same cyjon mods as cindy and I use the brothel mod by cyjon for my woohoo workers.

I'll also just link this guide as well. I don't use teen pregnancy/teen woohoo in my modern game because.. yuck. And it's not like teens are getting married in the modern age. But for my historical gameplay it was more common, so I do use this load order since I don't have inteen. RCC is specifically what allows my teens to get pregnant and I use a hack from MTS so they can wear any outfit, and I don't have to dl teen maternity.

I'll mention a couple of other things down here too. A lot of my build/buy stuff I've used is from the bespoke build set, georgian build set, and manor house sets on modthesims. I also have a fair bit of content from cashcraft, vitasims, and msbarrows on tsr. They're all excellent creators but I recommend getting it through the booty as tsr is not a user friendly or ethical website. In general you can also just google "sims 2 regency" or "sims 2 victorian" and find pinterest boards and lists of cc that are along similar lines and include a lot of the cc that I'm using. I'm also not a history expert and if you're very niche about for example, wanting your game to be set in 1803 and refusing to use anything that doesn't fit that year, it might be harder to find content rather than if you're a clueless lump like me and grabbing anything that looks antique-ish and any cute outfit even if the date is a little off. Regardless, I'm glad to see any new historical simmers and hope to see some of your content!

[mostardentlyinllamaswithyou]

for the ask game! 3, 4, 19, 20 :~)

Hey! Thanks a bunch for the ask :)

3) What is your favorite decade/era to play?

This is tough because I like so many! But if I had to pick some, I would say the 20s, 60s, and 70s. The 20s ended up being a really fun time in my decades challenge (despite all the drama), and I really enjoyed having the opportunity to explore the slightly more androgynous gender expressions of the time. Then the 60s and 70s just ended up being really fun fashion-wise and culture-wise. It was nice playing queer and trans characters that could be slightly more open than those in past generations.

4) What is your least favorite decade/era to play?

Hands down my least favorite is almost always the 1900s. I just find it too similar to the 1890s, with nothing really unique to make it stand out among all the decades.

19) What mods/CC are essential for historical gameplay?

Definitely mc command center is a must have. It makes it really easy to modify sims and run spare households. The only drawback is that it did mess up my main decades challenge tree with the amount of children and affairs it generated lol

I also really like woohoo wellness and wonderful whims for my gameplays too, especially because they create interesting relationship drama and allow me to set gender preferences for the characters.

Lastly, the enlist in war mod is always good for the war gens, as is basemental drugs for later decades (e.g. 60s and 70s)

20) Share a “behind the scenes” fact or story about your save file/challenge

I unfortunately don't have time at the moment to create a story, but I can share some interesting facts!

So Pauline and Lyle got married right after she graduated from school (she was a year younger than him), and they ended up moving to New York. Living in the city, Lyle worked as a writer and Paulie as a scientist actually! They ended up having like six children too I think 😅

The Sims Lifetime Want (LTW) Challenge (TS4)

AIM  

To achieve as many of the Lifetime Want goals (or adapted variants) from The Sims 2 within as few generations as possible as part of your Sims 4 legacy. If you run out of successors to your legacy then you fail the challenge and are free to start again (using the same sim if you wish). Some of these are a piece of cake, and others.. not so much. Enjoy! 

Note: The LTW goals and scoring vary depending upon the packs you have – LTW goals are listed by pack (in release order) with your maximum total score beside it. 

RULES  

- Start with 1 YA sim  - Keep life stages at normal (or short if you’re a masochist) - Unless stated otherwise, only ONE sim is to complete a LTW goal, but each sim can complete multiple LTW goals, e.g.:   Bob, Betty, and Brandi can all work towards/complete as many LTW goals as they want, but they cannot help eachother (no sim can work on the same LTW goal at the same time as another sim).  Brandi can inherit some LTW goals, provided Bob and Betty do not keep working on them. Brandi must do it on her own.  

Not Permitted: 

- No cheats (MO and testingcheats are permitted, provided that the latter does not affect the legacy or LTW progress such as relationships, needs, income etc (e.g: no tampering with motive/need decay, no add/remove from family, no clear marriages, no tampering with public image, no using the gigs picker) - No mods that affect the legacy or LTW progress such as relationships, needs, income etc (see above) - No resetting the age of a sim (e.g.: with Potion of Youth, the essence from a cow plant, Age-Away serum, or in CAS etc) - Ghost and vampire sims cannot contribute towards/complete LTW goals - No reloading (for any reason!) - No death flowers 

Permitted: 

- The Wishing Well (Romantic Garden Stuff Pack) 

 LTW GOALS – BASE GAME (score out of 23)

 Earn $100,000  - By any means necessary provided it is earned (not inherited or scammed - I’m looking at you, black widows)  - You are allowed to use the Nanocan Touchless trash can - Only one sim can contribute to the total, so keep track of their income separately (this is earnings, not net worth/profit/anything complicated - just add up everything they earn) 

 Max Out 7 Skills (Adapted for TS4) - Max out 7/10/15 skills   

Have 20 Simultaneous Best Friends (Adapted for TS4)  - Full Friendship bar with 20 sims simultaneously 

 Have 20 Simultaneous Lovers (Adapted for TS4)  - Full Romance bar with 20 sims simultaneously 

 Woohoo with 20 Different Sims  (It’s up to you whether Mess Around counts or not, personally I would feel weird encouraging that) Sidenote: If you find relationship building  too easy, feel free to try for 50 and just mention it in your score! 

 Have 50 First Dates   

 Have 50 Dream Dates* - Can be with the same sim or as many sims as you like 

 Eat 200 Grilled Cheese Sandwiches  -   ..Eat 200 grilled cheeses dude - Complete the (hidden) Grilled Cheese aspiration*

 Become Game President (Adapted for TS4) - Reach the top of the eSports Gamer branch of the Tech Guru career track  - Complete the Computer Whiz aspiration

 SCORING 

Your score is the number of generations it took you to complete all of the LTWs (so the lower the better) out of how many LTW goals you had access to, for example:  

Base Game (23 goals) + Get Together (1 goal) + Cats & Dogs (3 goals) + Island Living (2 goals)  

= 29 total LTW goals and therefore possible LTW goals available to complete. 

So imagine I completed these 29 goals in 8 generations, I would post my score as:  

G8:29LTW 

The higher your LTW number (here as 29), the harder your legacy was because you had more LTW goals to achieve.  The lower your G number (here as 11), the faster you achieved your LTW goals.

Wee-plies.

Or, not-so-wee-plies, as the case may be, because, you know, me. *eye roll*

First of all, thank you to those who wished me a happy birthday in comments as well as to @kairisu and some anons in my ask box! It was a quiet day -- we’re celebrating both our birthdays this year with a cruise in August -- but it was a nice day, so we took the horses out riding in the morning. Then I got the usual phone call from my bro with the usual razzing about being older than him again. (We’re only 10 months apart in age, so for about seven weeks out of the year, we’re the same age.) I talked to all three offspring I birthed and to their SOs/kids, too, where applicable, so it was nice. :) Oh, and I yakked with my mother-in-law for an hour, but we do that quite often, anyway. She’s only a few years older than me -- the perils of having a younger husband. ;) -- so she’s more a buddy than a mother-in-law. :) (She called to tell me she’s sending me birthday tamales, yum!)

BUT ANYWAY! These are for @katatty, @didilysims, @alawren4ever, @catnip-sims, @deedledops, @criquette-was-here, @penig, @tamtam-go92, and @immerso-sims...

katatty-main replied to your photo “iCad Does Urban Planning. AKA: iCad Is Nuts.  Buuuuuut, on the plus...”

oh, i love seeing this sort of thing! always gives me a ton of inspiration :)

Yeah, me, too. So, that’s pretty much why I shared the image, to maybe give other people some ideas AND in the hopes that they’ll share those idea in turn. I kinda love how Simmers feed off of each other that way. :)

didilysims replied to your photoset “This morning, because my hand needed a break from painting hair...”

Ugh that stupid disappearing Maxis bridge. I thought your monorail bridge looked kind of cool, honestly. :)

The monorail bridge is growing on me. It works best on that particular suspension bridge, though, because then the train doesn’t smash through the girders. :) Can’t really say the same for the others, but we just ignore that on the other side of town. *cough* In any case, though, it IS better than the endless monotrail track magically hovering over water, so there’s that. :)

That being said, I HAVE crossed bridges that were shared by road and train traffic where the train tracks ran above or, more often, to the side of the road-deck. Which probably isn’t often the case since trains and vehicles don’t often share road/track beds like that and most often railroad bridges were built before large, modern bridges for automobiles, but it’s not TOTALLY unrealistic. 

And yeah, I totally hate the stupid Maxis bridge. One, it doesn’t always fit in with the look I want for a neighborhood. It’s often too modern or not-modern/urban enough. Two, it isn’t visible from lots, which often looks stupid. Three, you can’t get rid of the damn thing other than by “sinking” it below the terrain in SimPE. And then four, after you sink it, you still can’t modify the terrain around where it was, so it might not be suitable for a replacement deco-bridge and....ARRRGH! Hate it hate it hate it.

didilysims replied to your post “Why do I keep doing this to myself?”

The curse of this open game!

IKNOWRITE??? It’s hell playing this game. HELL, I TELL YOU! :)

alawren4ever replied to your photoset “So yesterday, I posted about this fire hydrant object that randomly...”

Very cool that you can control the level of traffic by the number of hydrants!

It IS cool. And I didn’t find out that it can work that way until I accidentally had more than one on a lot when I was trying to figure out why the remeshed one I made was invisible. SERENDIPITY! :D

But it makes sense, I guess, because the “calls” it puts out to summon a vehicle seem to be randomly timed, not at regular intervals. So, if you get a bunch of them on a lot, each putting out calls at random times, rather than all at the same time in the same time intervals, it makes sense that the traffic level would increase with the number of objects on the lot. I shoulda thought of that sooner, really.

didilysims replied to your post “Info and testing things RE: the number of visitors that show up at...”

Ooh I've never see that mod to up the lot visitors before. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing!

It works pretty well, although it does have its pitfalls. The obvious one is that you might have to experiment a bit to see what “level” your machine can handle without the game lagging on you. The other is if you play community lots of widely variable size. Like, if you put in the mod that ups the visitors to, say, 25, that’ll be fine on a big community lot if your machine can handle it, but not so fine if you have any that have a “1″ in the size dimensions, where you’ll end up with an overcrowded lot full of stomping, complaining Sims who can’t move. :) 

I kinda wish there was a customer/visitor-number adjuster that could be used on ALL lots, not just owned ones........Although maybe that object can be used on regular community lots. OOOOH EXPERIMENT FOR SCIENCE!

catnip-sims replied to your photoset “This morning, because my hand needed a break from painting hair...”

I like parking filler lots too! I recently came up with a 1x3 lot with just a bunch of bushes along the street & a big "YOUR AD HERE" banner, lol. It looks nice from the neighborhood view :D

THAT IS A GREAT IDEA I THINK I WILL STEAL IT THANK YOU! :) Except now I need to make banners. *growl* And maybe billboards, hmmm....

deedledops replied to your post “Why do I keep doing this to myself?”

This, but a whole neighborhood tailored to each specific thing with a special downloads folder I can switch out for each theme. But I know if I did it I'd want all the Sims to know each other next

Yeah, “ whole neighborhood tailored to each specific thing with a special downloads folder“ is kind of how I play in general. :) Only I use separate user accounts on my computer, each with its own Documents/Sims 2 folder tailored specifically for it because I don’t trust myself to put in the right folder before I load up the neighborhood I want to play. (Did that once with the wrong neighborhood deco loaded, and POOF! All the painstakingly-placed neighborhood deco in that neighborhood was gone. NEVER AGAIN!

But yeah, how I play is pretty much this: Step 1: Come up with idea/theme. Usually, this happens like a bolt out of the blue, things just blooming fully-formed in my head, just like how story ideas happened to me back in my fanfic-writing days, so it must be how my brain works. Whatever the case, it’s very jarring. Step 2: Create an unnecessarily complex rule set for playing out the idea/theme. Step 3: Create a complex spreadsheet to use to keep track of the neighborhood. Step 4: Build a neighborhood around the idea/theme.  Step 5: Play the neighborhood. 

Currently, I have some neighborhoods that are at each step of the above process. :) Often, steps 2 and 3 happen concurrently, and sometimes steps 4 and 5 happen at the same time, all BACC-like. But not always!

criquette-was-here replied to your post “Why do I keep doing this to myself?”

@dramallamadingdang ***laughs for a second and then cries thinking of road and terrain DR project*** I feel your pain,lol! @immerso-sims you actually can (I'm on mac) ***cries even harder***

*laugh* Yeah, this is probably a pain that all serious simmers feel at least once in a while. For some of us, though, it’s more like a constant thing. Chronic pain. *sigh* :) So then you’ve got all these ideas but not the time or stamina to work on/finish them all.

penig replied to your post “Why do I keep doing this to myself?”

Alternate between play and projects. You'll get Better Ideas as you play anyhow. Also, projects are play if you choose to do them.

Yeah, that’s pretty much how I do things, in general. It’s just that sometimes my brain/imagination is particularly fertile, and I get lots of big ideas that require big projects all at once, and it all gets a little overwhelming sometimes. It’d be nice if the brain kind of spread out the big ideas a little more....

tamtam-go92 replied to your photo “Let’s call this a “Cool CC That I Think Everyone Ought to Have” Post....”

THIS is just amazing!!! #things you didn't know you need until you see them

Right? I was surprised (but also kind of not-surprised, because it is a really old object) that more people didn’t know about that thing. I only learned about it a while back because of a stray post in the MTS forums that mentioned it, and fortunately that was at a time when the Graveyard was working reliably. I don’t often bother using it in less-densely-populated neighborhoods, but it does add a nice touch when playing downtowns.

immerso-sims replied to your photoset “I needed a bit of a break from hair retexturing and alpha-painting and...”

Looks great and I really like the idea. Looking forward to following the challenge :)

I’m not sure I’m going to document it, unfortunately. When I first play one of these ideas I get in my head, I like to see if it’ll actually work the way I think it’s going to, first. So, the initial playing is more like a dry run, where I’m still experimenting and coming up with new ideas and tweaking the rules and such. I have played the first batch of “runaways” through three seasons, and three of them have “escaped” from the vacant lot into better housing, one of them skipping the “livin’ in the slums” stage entirely because she married someone who came with a ton of skill points, whose LTW career came up in the newspaper right away, and who got a bunch of job promotions one right after the other. I haven’t decided yet if it was all too easy! *laugh* I should probably take out the “no friends needed for promotions” mod when playing this, now that I think about it. And maybe I shouldn’t even allow marriage when they’re still homeless -- because who wants to marry into that?! -- but she got “risky woohoo” pregnant on a date, and.... Well, anyway, I plan to play these initial four for a while, and once I have them all established so that I know everything works, I’m going to add a new group of “runaways” for a less-dry run, and perhaps I’ll document them. 

Anyway, I might post some highlight pics from this first batch of runaways, and maybe I’ll write up the rules once I know they work. I mean, you don’t HAVE to build an elaborate downtown to play this way or anything. It can be just a mini-challenge that you play within something else...although longer lifespans kinda help with this, at least with the rules I’m using. Anyway, the downtown’s just something I’m doing because I want to, and it seems to go along well with this rule set idea.

sims 2 creature-expansion challenge!!!

hey all! this is a legacy challenge i made for sims 2 (in the year of hashem 5778 i know lol) meant to utilize every occult life state and features of every expansion pack, so you can get the most out of your game! cause i know there’s still stuff i haven’t done a lot of, or parts of an ep i haven’t used too much, even though i’ve played sims for YEARS. so, the objective is: have each heir embody their respective expansion and become/befriend the creature of their expansion!

first we’ll cover general rules, then the respective objectives for each generation. i also have a sims 3 version, which i’ll type up and post soon! this is a brand new challenge, so i’m kind of feeling it out and tweaking it as i play it myself. if anyone has suggestions for possible changes, please feel free!

GENERAL RULES

if any heir is to have a career, it may only be from their ep if applicable (includes part time jobs for teens and elders)

all heirs and creature additions to the household (servo and bigfoot) must achieve their ltw, spouses/partners/etc optional

if your heir’s ltw is to master a career they can’t take part in due to the generation’s rules, reroll their ltw if you have something like the sim blender, or change their aspiration. do this until the first allowable ltw pops up!

may not double up on creatures until all rules for that generation have been fulfilled, AND the second creature type has already been achieved. for example: your servo may only become another creature AFTER all the rules for the servo generation have been met. they may become a vampire, or a werewolf after the werewolf gen’s heir has become one, but may not be a witch until the witch generation.

if there were more places to woohoo added in an ep and your heir has kids via try for baby, may ONLY try for baby in places added by their ep (plain ol woohoo is fine wherever, only applicable for try for baby)

all ghosts including pets must be kept on the lot unless it starts to lag. then you may purchase a community lot to use as a family graveyard, OR move a non-aging sim from the legacy (zombie, vampire, servo, etc) to a different lot with all the graves. however, you must keep the graves of the recently deceased generation or two on the lot until the next dies.

Part 3 / ?, wherein they go camping, much to Kinshirou’s dismay.

This is a long, image-heavy post. I’ve had it ready since like December but I never bothered to post it until now because I stopped playing the game for a while and I’m lazy. If you’re reading this on my blog and it’s done the obnoxious thing where it doesn’t show readmores, just click the date <3

You probably don’t remember where we left off because it’s been ages since the last post. I didn’t remember either. En had just gotten his second promotion in a few days; the game continued to insist on sending him home from work in an awkward outfit on promotion days. Kinshirou had just published his etiquette manual, and I had finally learned how to keep Atsushi from being miserable when he got home from work. However, En and Atsushi’s work schedules still kept them from spending much time together as a group.

En’s latest work of art is a beautiful, subtle masterpiece. I know that because I, an ignorant philistine, see the art of a 6-year-old, but an art gallery was interested enough to pay $50 more than he usually gets for large paintings.

This is kind of sweet, but he and En aren’t even engaged yet. Calm down, Kinshirou. It’s amazing how well the game knows them asd;lfk

Atsushi has been promoted to caterer!! A $10/hour raise so that his hourly wage is no longer a pittance, a $368 bonus, and a coffeepot. His work hours start an hour earlier and end two hours earlier, which still isn’t very good :\ but look, he’s so proud of himself.

To get to the next level of his career, he has to start learning to mix drinks. I’ve dreaded this moment because the last time I bought someone a bar to level mixology, they never wanted to do anything else again except mix drinks. I took it away in the end.

Kinshirou wakes up, sees that En’s gone, and goes to find him in the bathroom just so that he can kiss his cheek.

Since he’s awake now anyway, En paints an Enatsu painting and then a Kinatsuen painting, one after another. I can’t bring myself to sell either of them. The Kinatsuen one is going to stay where it is, but I’m putting the Enatsu one in Atsushi’s room, because it’s kind of bare at the moment.

En’s suave kiss is different than Kinshirou’s was. I assume it’s because he and Atsushi aren’t boyfriends yet? But Atsushi still seems charmed.

And now that they’ve drawn my attention to that oversight, Atsushi asks En to be his boyfriend.

You can imagine your own dialogue here. You’re all so dirty-minded.

En is into it, though.

He immediately kisses Atsushi on the cheek. I’m glad all the Sims think that’s as cute as I do.

Now they can all go on a much-deserved(???) vacation :D En and Atsushi have to take some vacation days to do it, but they want to spend some time together as a triad.

They’re going camping! For four days. It’s cheap, and they’re still a little broke. En and Atsushi are nervous, but willing to give it a try. Kinshirou...

..yeah.

Their home away from home. There are cabins and houses you can rent, but... like I said. They’re broke.

Kinshirou decides to start his vacation by practicing horseshoes. If this is all they have for entertainment, he’s going to master it.

But En doesn’t like that attitude.

En: Come on, cheer up, it’ll be fun. Kinshirou: Hmm... Maybe so, then.

Kinshirou: ...but I’ll still win at this game. Move.

As you can see behind them, Atsushi has been setting up their tents.

He’s also the only one to introduce himself to the park ranger. In other words, he continues to be the only useful Sim.

En is a miracle worker wtf

Once Atsushi’s done the boring stuff, he can join his boyfriends and spend his time being cute and flirty, as was the point of this vacation.

Kinshirou lights the fire for no reason. You’d think after part two, he’d have seen enough fire.

En... get up. What if Atsushi drops that horseshoe?

He does get up, finally. He has important painting to do.

Yes, I did add the easel to the lot before I brought them here. This vacation is costing $3 more per night than it otherwise would have.

So much excitement for a mediocre toss. And Atsushi can’t pretend to be impressed because he’s besieged by bugs.

Maybe En is trying to develop a style reminiscent of a young child’s?

Meanwhile, Kinshirou is still struggling with horseshoes.

So it’s easy, but you’re still bad at it? Got it.

Atsushi reassures him until he’s not embarrassed anymore...

...so now snobbish boredom is his dominant emotion. Look at that face. Why does anyone tolerate him?

If you’re wondering where En went, he’s taking a shower in here.

Atsushi’s first attempt at grilling!

En is drawn back by the promise of Atsushi’s excellent-quality(!!) baked potatoes. They’re sparkling! Atsushi’s so happy :D

Happy boyfriends, although Atsushi is again plagued by bugs.

Help him

Kinshirou wanders off in the middle of a conversation and goes to sleep. En is glad to have an excuse to do to the same.

Atsushi goes to the bathroom, but doesn’t return. When I check on him, I find him like this:

He’s stargazing. <3 But that’s not the spot I would have chosen, myself.

The next morning, Atsushi happily makes breakfast. He seems to be moving past any fire-related trauma from his near-death experience in part two.

Kinshirou also goes to the bathroom and doesn’t return. When I find him, not only is he making unnecessary food, he’s making exactly the same thing as Atsushi, except

wth a lot less skill behind it.

He burns himself. :c Just go eat breakfast with the others, Kinshirou.

Kinshirou: En, isn’t Atchan wonderful? He makes the best food, and he’s always so kind...

En: Yeah, you’re right. Atsushi’s great.

Atsushi looks so embarrassed... Change the subject, guys.

They’ve ventured out to the national park! They’re learning how to fish in case Atsushi ever wants to use fish in a meal.

They keep gaining friendship with each other and with this girl, even though none of them have said a word. Maybe words aren’t necessary when you’re fishing buddies.

Kinshirou catches two fish before either of the others catch anything. So when Atsushi catches one...

...he’s super excited.

Finally, to En’s incredulous annoyance, it becomes clear that he won’t catch anything in that spot.

Poor En-chan.

...poor En-chan.

There, back to normal.

Before they give up altogether on En learning to fish, they’ll try this one other spot. I just really want En to learn how to fish a;lskjf ...but the fish are too crafty for him here, too.

This is the face of a man who no longer cares.

Catching the fish made Atsushi confident, so he decides that En will be real impressed if he shows off his muscles. ...It’s sweet of En to humor him.

I see you back there, bear man. Fuck off.

I said fuck off.

If the last screenshot had you wondering, Kinshirou is telling an unbelievable story.

God damn it they’re all tense now

Kinshirou mocks the bear costume because I’m annoyed he’s annoyed about the situation. Then the three of them leave, so that they aren’t tense anymore.

Atsushi cooks his fish while En entertains them all with an adventure story :D

He follows up with a ghost story. Atsushi hangs on his every word.

Kinshirou chooses to find it amusing.

................ I forgot that ghost stories summon ghosts.

Oops.

He doesn’t stay long, though. The ghost that haunts the picnic table...

What has En done?!

En: Holy shit, my bad. Kinshirou: Well done, En. Good job.

Atsushi, in the background, is preoccupied. He’s exposing himself to the source of his fears in order to lessen the fear. No ghosts will get in the way of his exposure therapy.

They go back to their campsite, where the ghost is not. Kinshirou hopes that if he goes to sleep, he’ll be less freaked out about the ghost in the morning. En has other ideas for how to dispel his tension. Atsushi never even noticed the ghost to begin with, but he’s happy to go along with En.

...at which point I remember that this is the first Enatsu WooHoo! Congrats, guys. They get a happy moodlet from good WooHoo, as well, like En and Kinshirou did that once (except theirs was from “spectacular” WooHoo but ok whatever).

Kinshirou and Atsushi have never had a WooHoo so good they got a happy moodlet. I guess En is just really good at WooHoo.

Morning activities c:

Atsushi made this meal twice and it was poor quality both times. Fish tacos 2.0. At least he’s not so heartbroken about it this time.

This screenshot has no narrative value. I just thought it was cute.

The food was so bad it made them all feel sick... Oh, well. Atsushi is still learning.

En... I know you’re a slob, but there are limits...

“From the moist depths of the trash, En has recovered: 1 baconite.” Congratulations, En. Was it worth it.

It wouldn’t be a Kinatsuen Sims post without a screenshot of Atsushi looking distressed. This is why I put you in your tent to relax, Atsushi!! Just rest for a little while, you’ll feel better soon.

He takes it out on the bugs instead. I guess that works too.

This is the moodlet Kinshirou got after he and Atsushi WooHooed:

But this is Atsushi’s:

Kinshirou, you worry too much. Atsushi liked it, see? It looks like I spoke too soon about no happy moodlets from Kinatsu WooHoo, although it’d have been nice if they’d both gotten it.

But Kinshirou must not be too mortified, because he accepts Atsushi’s offer to be BFFs.

...and only afterwards did I realize that you can’t have multiple BFFs, and there’s no mod to make it possible. I guess it doesn’t matter too much, but poor En.

This is the only couple that hasn’t WooHooed in a tent yet. They should have a turn.

...but really that’s only an excuse to get them doing something else so that Atsushi can wander off and harvest wild things guilt-free. I want him to learn herbalism.

He identifies things by eating them, which makes me nervous. But the WooHoo back there seems to be going well.

lol.

Kinshirou now has two concurrent WooHoo moodlets. I’m proud of him.

Desperate for culture and civilization, he decides to view this big statue. But the bugs have other plans.

Dont look so resigned, En. Maybe it’ll go better this time.

(It did go better! He caught a fish. But I was following Kinshirou around in his herbalism journey and missed it.)

This again... If they can’t learn that every time you poke a fire with a stick, the stick catches fire, maybe they should just stay away from fire.

Because En is a lazy Sim, he doesn't jog when he has to go long distances like the other two do. As a result, it takes him a million years to go places. They all started to head back to the campsite at the same time, but Atsushi has already cooked and eaten dinner, and Kinshirou has burned a stick as well, by the time En deigns to show up.

After dinner, Atsushi asks Kinshirou to go stargazing. <3

There aren’t many screenshots for the next day because they don’t do much of anything interesting. That’s largely because they sleep very late.

Kinshirou, pls

This is not the time to hit on Atsushi. Atsushi is fighting the eternal battle against the bugs.

Or so I would have said, but whatever En does here, he manages to get Atsushi’s attention.

...then he turns and starts talking to Kinshirou asldjkf

Atsushi: Hey... En-chan... I’m still up for... you know... you didn’t forget already, did you?

They all keep rolling whims to get married to each other but hey don’t have enough money or friends for a nice wedding yet asdl;jfk and they would be sad in the end if they had the quick, boring type of Sim wedding. They’ll have to daydream quietly about it for a little while longer.

En ends the trip with another story. Not a ghost story this time, though. He learned his lesson. This is a fairytale. Soon afterwards, when he and Kinshirou are stargazing, Kinshirou gets homesick :C Poor baby, he’s not meant for camping.

The next day, without fanfare or screenshots, they head home. I think their vacation was good for them, but Atsushi has no vacation days left, so lets hope he doesn't set himself on fire again before he earns another one.

Will they ever get to see the community lots built and chosen especially for them? Will they get a cat? Will I, in fact, pick up The Sims again at all? When in the world will En and Atsushi have compatible work schedules so that they don’t have to run away into the wilderness to be together? Only time will tell.

Epilogue:

The lion is En’s idea of a painting that inspires confidence.

[yakumtsaki]

Well that was.. abnormally fast. Turns out I had downloaded some shorter semester mod in fucking August and then forgotten all about it! Why would I download such an unholy concoction in the first place is beyond me. It’s back in hell where it belongs now so we’re getting the full college experience going forward but ugh, upsetting nonetheless..

I mean is there enough time in the world to enjoy this crazy bitch that was slapping Gunther yesterday (for ‘cheating on her’ even though they’re not even friends) heartfart over him now? Girl what is wrong with you.

-I’M A WORK IN PROGRESS OK

Aren’t we all.

-NOT I. I’M ABSOLUTELY PERFECT THE WAY I AM, EVERYONE IN CAMPUS IS LUSTING AFTER ME AND I HAVE THE HEIR VOTE IN THE BAG

You also keep washing dishes that aren’t your own.

-A girl sees you voluntarily cleaning up, she starts to wonder what else you could offer without her asking ;)

Ew yea that’s definitely not a thing.

-IT’S A THING

YEA OK IT’S A THING. NOTHING SEXIER THAN ROTTING FOOD AND OTHER PEOPLE’S SALIVA

-Ah there you are <3 I saw you washing worm covered dishes earlier, you have to keep that for my eyes only baby <3

GODDAMMIT BLUE MEATBALLS WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS SHITTING ALL OVER MY POINTS

UM OK JOIN US WHY DON’T YOU

LOL looks like you got yourself a girlfriend, Gunther! Congrats, didn’t think you had it in you.

-Help. me.

No can do baby. And I actually mean that, I wouldn’t know how to break you two up even if I wanted to. I mean you slept with someone else in the middle of your date and she stood there smiling, there’s obviously no stopping this crazy train. See you at the wedding!  

Meanwhile Daniel is making a very important call that I’m sure is gonna fail.. but you never know if you don’t try..

OMG SHE SAID YES. STEP INTO OUR HAMMER-&-SICKLE-SHAPED-WEB BRITTANY. 

LMAO see you never, nerds.

-Ooooh a love letter for me from a secret admirer <3

Yea that’s obviously for Gunther from a very special lady. I legit don’t remember which one but PUT THAT DOWN BRITTANY IS COMING, she’s gonna think you’re some kind of player. 

-Well 2 minutes of conversation are gonna take care of that misconception.

Yea you can say that again.

UUUUUUGH this can’t NOT work they’re perfect for each other I know it!!! COME ON BRIT DON’T LET ME DOWN

-FOR THE LAST TIME DANIEL, PRETTY WOMAN IS NOT ABOUT THE LUMPENPROLETARIAT 

-UGH you could not be more wrong, comrade Brit Brit, but bourgeois college apathy has obviously crushed whatever critical thinking skills managed to survive the sorority confirmation process.

Good god. Ok that’s enough, time to see what we’re really dealing with here. GET UP.

THAT’S BETTER. HOPE THOSE HEARTS AREN’T FOR THE BIRD

FUCKING BYE I KNEW IT. I KNEW THEY WERE MEANT TO BE. I mean both popularity and both suck ass at it + polar opposites at everything else?? Romeo and Juliet who.

Marvin Gaye - Let’s get it on.mp3

Interrupting our wonderful time is the cow harassing the girl Gunther woohooed in the middle of his date with Meatballs. I love college <3

Time to move this party to the bedroom! Just us, Brit, and our new best friend. Judging from the positions in the above photo, Daniel’s first sexual experience isn’t going to be a conventional one.

Aw come on Brit, don’t be like that, there’s plenty of Dan to go around!

Ok now you’re just making Mr Cow sad. Stop excluding him!!

UGH he left, hope you pillowchested assholes are happy with yourselves.

That’s right, get them, crazy secret society blonde!

-HEY I’M TRYING TO SLEEP HERE YOU DICKS

-WELL CLOSE YOUR FUCKING DOOR GIRL, GAWD

-NO, I’M TRYING TO SLEEP *HERE*. GET OUT OF THE BED

Hope you enjoyed the view, blondie!

The love juices have yet to dry as Wyatt rushes to occupy the bed. I feel the need to remind readers THAT DORMIES HAVE THEIR OWN BEDS. You literally wouldn’t know from looking at my game.

Case in fucking point, immediately after Wyatt awakens, another one of Jojo’s semi-lovers helps himself to our communal bed. Remember Ti-Ning? He’s stinking under the covers and as I suspected, Jojo ‘hates him’ aka is secretly into him. Good to see the Blue Meatballs stalking method gaining more fans!

WELL WELL WELL look who moved in. After Gunther ‘cheated’ on the redhead lunatic sis, the responsibility of getting us into the secret society has fallen squarely on Jojo’s frail shoulders. 

-HEY

SORRY, on Jojo’s buff, well-defined shoulders. 

-Thank you.

You keep your eye on the prize, right?

-Of course. Every step she takes, every breath she takes-

-So as I was saying, it’s an absolute disgrace that there isn’t A SINGLE flat earth class in this college. Of course we all know who’s responsible.. Starts with -I, ends with -lluminati..

-Yea, I’m out.

NO YOU DON’T. Must I remind you what’s at stake here??

-Must I remind you I don’t care about resurrecting that stupid cat? I mean if it was Victor, we’d be having a different conversation.

Ugh fucking Victor istg. But NO, I’m talking about finally getting what your tiny, murderous heart has been craving all those years.. THE COWPLANT. Just think about it, Jojo..

-Oh god, the power, the unlimited power.. Fucking Ti-Ning is first on my list.

Yea we all know you want to fuck Ti-Ning but I don’t think you have to threaten him with a cowplant, he’d probably say yes if you asked him out-

-I MEAN FIRST ON MY KILL LIST STFU

-You know what repulses me, dear Jojό? Musique classique, is absolutely the worst, no? I mean who likes it apart from bores and killers seriàl? 

-Oh yea, you’re so right, Ti-Ning WYATT.

God Jojo are you so committed to this charade of denial that you’re gonna date someone who hates creepy classical music? What’s next? Does he hate bow-ties and oedipal complexes too?

-’Scuse me, my.. girlfriend.. is waiting for me.. When did life get so unfun :(

-Oui, I think it’s imperative that you sever all relationships with anyone wearing plaid pantalons, Jojό.. Très unseemly..

-Oh my <3

Well this stamp of approval is the fucking deathblow, JOJO GET OUT NOW. TI-NING’S DOOR IS RIGHT THERE

-NEVER. IN FACT..

-My god, Wyatt, your manipulative criticism of my interests and family is attractive to say the least! 

NOP I don’t accept this, even you can’t keep this bullshit up!

-WATCH ME. I’M GOING TO BUY A RING TOMORROW. ONE MADE OF CHEESE SINCE HE’S FRENCH

</3

Speaking of ‘</3′ looks like Meatballs hired a sniper to hit Gunther with the arrow of love. I extremely have other plans for him so this is obviously not happening but NICE TRY MEATBALLS

...........OMG. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM, YOU BROKE HIM

-HA. Watch and learn bitch, first I let him be his gross whoring self.. and now that I have him.. the era of Blue Meatballs.. BEGINS.

WHERE THE FUCK IS THAT FUCKING COWPLANT

For @eulaliasims, @cindysimblr, @holleyberry, @raptorsims, @emeraldfalconsims, @penig, @didilysims, and @raindropdrinkwater...

eulaliasims replied to your photo “YAY DIAPER CHANGE! :D Goopy GilsCarbo: Best parent on the island.”

I agree with Cindy--that hair and beard look really, really good on him!

cindysimblr replied to your photo “YAY DIAPER CHANGE! :D Goopy GilsCarbo: Best parent on the island.”

He looks fab with the long hair and beard!

Goopy does rock his manbun, yes! :D Especially because its wispies on the sides help to widen his face a little, since he, like most of the male Pleasantview townies, has a long, thin face. (I guess the devs had a thing for long, thin faces and practically non-existent lips on guys? ‘Cuz the females mostly have short, round faces with wide noses and/or big lips, but the males...?) That’s why I usually put a lot of facial hair on him, too; it kind of disguises his long, narrow chin...or at least makes it look not so long and narrow. That, and the dark hair on his head in combination with the dark hair on his face makes his eyes stand out and look blue-r. (Dark hair + blue eyes = pretty, after all. Well, at least according to me. :) )

holleyberry replied to your photo “YAY DIAPER CHANGE! :D Goopy GilsCarbo: Best parent on the island.”

This hair and angle makes him look like he has elf ears.

It does! And it’s not just the angle, really. The way the hair lays sort of diagonally over the ears makes everyone look elf-y. So does one of the dread styles I have.

eulaliasims replied to your post “Well! This killed the game-loading time...”

Mmm, lilacs. You reminded me that I've been meaning to try some of Penman's books! I'll have to look for Here Be Dragons next time I'm at the library--sounds like an interesting trilogy. :)

It’s a good series. Big, long books, too. I like big, long books. Also, the second book in the series stars my favorite historical figure, Simon de Montfort, and is therefore awesome. :) If I had one criticism, it’d be that the romance stuff gets a bit too much “airtime,” but it’s certainly not as bad as most stuff that tries to call itself “historical fiction” and is really more “anachronistic ‘historical’ romance.” (Anachronisms. I hate them. Sure, some are necessary because medieval English people, for one thing, didn’t speak English like modern people do, especially because the nobility at the time were and spoke French, but still...) Anyway, my favorite book of hers is actually The Sunne in Splendour because it’s about Richard III, my favorite king, and doesn’t assassinate his character like the brown-nosing-the-Tudors Shakespeare did, but it’s a standalone book and the question was “series,” so...

holleyberry replied to your photo “And then there was Baby BruCarbo, yay! :D  It’s a girl, named Jada....”

I can't wait to see what she looks like when she grows. up.

She’s cute. But then, of course she is. I mean, look at her parents. :) I’ve only seen her as a toddler, though. She’ll be up in the queued pics in a couple of days, I think. 

raptorsims replied to your post “Well! This killed the game-loading time...”

I think I love you a little lol.

AW! <3 Come here, let me love you long time. :)

emeraldfalconsims replied to your photoset “HOLY SHIT, IT’S MINI-BEN! *ahem* Sorry. ANYWAY, there were also...”

Christine's face is fun!

Yeah, it is. :) She got Komei’s funky mouth and square face, but I think the rest is more from the PT. She’s gonna teen the next time I play the initial lot, so it’ll be interesting to see what she looks like...

penig replied to your photoset “The first item the teens targeted for acquisition turned out to be a...”

Same place the telescope came from.

True! There must be a ton of crap buried in the sand on this island! :) Well, maybe if it was the end of the world everywhere else, the flotsam and jetsam washed up there...

penig replied to your post “A photostory of sorts...”

Well, that was easy!

Too easy. *sigh* I need to test out Pescado’s Romance Mod in the game, but I’m just not sure that I want all of its features. So, maybe I want just his “No Instant Loves” one. I can’t use that in TS2 because it’s incompatible with Inteen, but perhaps it’d work in Castaway... OTOH, since I’ll be uninstalling ACR soon, I might want everyone in love anyway because otherwise there’ll be no woohoo and therefore no repopulation, and...Well, dilemmas. :)

didilysims replied to your photoset “When the first seven of the Horde of Nine aged to teen, I decided to...”

The towel clan!

Yep! Many of them aged into everyday outfits that had really flowery/feathery breastpiece things and it was just a little too “gone native” for my likings. Rather than dick around with buying and assigning new outfits, I just changed ‘em into their jammies. :) And of course they live in their skimpy little swimming loincloth get-ups, so I pretty much never see their everyday outfits, so...I don’t bother with them.

raindropdrinkwater replied to your photoset “HOLY SHIT, IT’S MINI-BEN! *ahem* Sorry. ANYWAY, there were also...”

Knew it! Ben's genes are strong!

They are! One of the whole reasons behind Longhollow was I wanted to see how long those genes would last. And I never really found out, due to corruption. But the fourth born-in-game generation was being born when it went mostly-kablooey, and there were still kids being born with his face and The Nose(TM), so...Yeah, strong genes, indeed. :)
