Image 1: A picture of Goth Manor in the evening. Text: Goth Manor. Image 2: Frida Goth and Xander Clavell walking up to Goth Manor. Frida: “Thanks for coming with me. I couldn’t face this house alone.” Image 3: Frida and Xander walking side by side, Xander laughing. Xander: “You know me; I'm not one to turn down free food. Do I, uh, look presentable?” Image 4: Frida turns to Xander and smiles. Frida: “I’ll admit, you clean up pretty good, Clavell. Maybe just don’t mention your little side hustle to anyone, okay?” Image 5: Xander and Frida are facing the house, nearing the front porch. Multiple figures stand blurred in the background. Xander: “How stupid do you think I am--wait, why are the Altos and Landgraabs here?” Image 6: Nancy and Geoffrey Landgraab seem to be facing off against Gunther Goth on the front porch. Nancy: "You’ll regret this, Gunther. I strongly advise you to reconsider." Gunther: "I will not be signing the agreement, Nancy, and that’s final." Image 7: Nick Alto, Vita Alto, Nancy Landgraab, and Geoffrey Landgraab leaving the house. Nancy appears frustrated in the background. Frida: “Those are the Altos? Gunther had mentioned a land trust meeting tonight. Looks like it didn’t go well for the Landgraabs. Image 8: Frida and Xander standing to the side as the guests leave. Frida: “Land disputes, politics, secret agendas. It’s exactly the kind of thing I want nothing to do with.” Xander: “C’mon, tonight’s just a family dinner. What’s the worst that could happen?”

Credits

I took so many different pictures when trying to make this scene that I kind of lost track of what poses I used. 🙈 Definitely used a bunch of poses from Poses by Bee, and also one or two from @chamisss and @ellixq. Thank you. 🖤

The Goth Manor featured in this scene is a wonderful remake by @greenplumbboblover (I use it in all my Sunset Valley saves!)

Thanks for reading. 😊

Episode 8: Last Day for Two (Part 1)

The next morning, breakfast was accompanied by one of the family's older ghosts, Victor Grusel. At least more or less. “And you're sure you'll find your mother, my dearest?“/”I'm not sure, but I'll try everything…“/”We used to have many scientists, but no one who dared to venture into such spheres. I wish you every success“/”Thank you, great-grandfather”…

After breakfast, Cassandra went upstairs to change her clothes. “Oh, you've made yourself pretty, Cassandra. But surely not for the desert? I don't want to know how hot it is there"/ ”No, I want to go straight to Don's, he's off again today. I'll definitely pick something else for Strangetown"/ ” mhm. Then make the most of today"/.

“Thanks, I will. And try to get out a bit too“/” well, I wanted to get some new oil paints anyway,…"/,,See, that's a good reason to stretch your legs outside. I'll be back here tomorrow morning"/ ‘Oh… I see. See you tomorrow then’. Cassandra deliberately wanted to spend the last few hours together with Don. Due to work, there was always little time to really spend the day together. Today was going to be different.

A little later. Don opened the door with a big grin. “Hey, wow, you look great“/”hn-hn, and you too, actually, as always grin. Can I come in?“/”Yes, sure. Have you had breakfast yet?“/”Yes, not even an hour ago”. He took both her hands and looked into her eyes. Then he kissed her and slowly pulled her into the house.

He closed the door once they were inside and go on with it. He kissed her passionately, which she was only too happy to accept. He pressed her tightly against him again and kissed her neck, then returned to her lips. “oh, D-Don, don't make me so weak“/,,you just taste so good, Cassy, hhh, there's nothing I'd rather do right now than taste everything of you”.

“I'm sorry, Don, you know I want nothing more than you right now. But I can't…” Her voice trembled a little. “What was the old witch thinking? I'm allowed to kiss you, but not sleep with you?“/”It's about the act itself, Don…And…we'll probably have to wait a little longer now, I have to go away for a few days“/”what? where?“/”Strangetown, a few colleagues asked me to come there because of my mother”.

“You have to go to another city because of your mom?"/ ”It's about all the equipment that's supposed to help me find her. Don. Everything is already different between us anyway… I understand that you're sleeping with other women just because you… can't wait until I'm ready for you. But I love you…”. Don paused for a moment. Then he looked at her and realized how important the whole thing was to her now. “And you love your mother. So take care of that first, okay?"/ ‘And you're not angry…?’…

“No…why should I be mad? Because I'm horny as my neighbor's dog and my fiancée is under a curse and I'm not allowed to sleep with her? It's damn unfair, yes. If I didn't want you, I would have broken up with you long ago, wouldn't I? Besides… I feel partly responsible for your mother being gone. I shouldn't have called her here so late, then maybe she wouldn't have disappeared"/ ‘Oh Don’…

“We are a strange couple. I let you sleep with other women just because I'm not free and only a wedding can redeem me“/”what do you actually do when you get this craving for another body?“/”I… I do what anyone else do in this situation“/”mmh. O.k…. When do you have to leave?“/”Tomorrow”.

“And how long will it take?“/”That depends on whether and how quickly mom can be found“/. “And the boys are Experts?“/”Yes, quite good ones and Polli too“/”who is she?“/”thihi, no “she”, Pollination is an alien who has been living there for many years.“/”uh, a real alien?“/”mhm, do you want to come and see it, hn?“/”no, I'm needed here, you know that. If I was on vacation, I'd say sure!. But I'm irreplaceable at the moment”.

“And do you have accommodation there?"/ ”The boys have a guest room in their house, I can sleep there. Pascal has a son"/ ‘and they're all married or what?’/ ‘No, not as far as I know. hey, is this going to be an interrogation? don't worry, I have to be abstinent anyway, huh?’/ ”Hehe. If I sleep with other women, you can flirt with other men too.” She rolled her eyes. “Oh please, I don't think I'll get around to it there"/ ,,hnhn. And now?” he asked her with a slightly challenging look.

“Well, I don't have to go to the institute today and you don't have to go to the clinic. Either we make ourselves comfortable here with a few movies, or we avoid any atmosphere that could lead to… Sexual desire and get me into trouble. We could go swimming instead“/”you in a swimsuit, or worse, bikini…hmm“/”hmm…let's just go out, shall we?” He smiled, kissed her again. “Alright, I'll take you wherever you want”.

Note: Unfortunately, I can't say which poses I used back then. I really don't remember. Sometimes I get really annoyed that I don't make a note of which poses I used at a given time. It's often difficult or even impossible to find them again.😥👀

[treason-and-plot]

Roy takes a lot more care than usual choosing what to wear before he goes downstairs to join Anya, but he needs the time to steady his nerves and to think. He hopes the lump in his stomach can be dissolved with a couple of beers. Not too many, because he needs to keep his wits about him. He cannot underestimate Anya, that much he realises. She may be young and lacking in life experience, but her intuition is as sharp as her cheekbones.

She is waiting for him on the black leather couch, staring at the news on the TV. The volume is so low he can barely make out what the news anchor is saying. He goes to the fridge and grabs a beer and sits down next to her.

“You took a while getting changed,” she says.

“I couldn’t find my socks,” he says, taking a long swig from his beer bottle. ”I think the maid is getting our laundry confused. Do you know if you have any of my my socks in your sock drawer?”

“I’ll have a look,” she says.”But I think we have more important things to discuss right now than socks, Roy.”

She shoots him a reproving look. He tries to look appropriately sombre.

“Why were you so weird and evasive when I tried to talk to you about Dad?” she says. “It really confused and hurt me, Roy. I needed you to be there for me and….you let me down. I was completely devastated and it was like you didn’t even care. What Dad did nearly tore my family apart. Don’t you get that? I mean, you’re supposed to be my partner, my emotional support in times of crisis. And now I feel like….I don’t know. Like I can’t rely on you. I just feel like...you’re not the person I thought you were.”

The Six Companions

A Christmas Special

This is a little-known story from Grimm's Fairy Tales. Originally it's titeld Die sechs Diener (The Six Servants), but I wanted to stress the friendship aspect more. I'll be following the plot of the adaptation in the TV-series Simsala Grimm 1999. A show I have mixed feelings about, but I really liked their changes to the plot of this story.

This year it's entirely my own production (@danjaley ) because of the very many special effects. But it will feature Middle Earth World by @sims3medieval and @crowkeeperthesimmer

It will post advent-calendar-style here on @threehazelnuts starting from December 1st.

Sorry about the mature-content-warning on the blog! That's still from the undressed scenes in Rapunzel.

25 Autumn Themed Prompts

Ibis supposed the good news was that he’d managed to sleep. Full 8 hour sleep. He couldn’t remember when was the last time he’d slept so long. After waking up from that dream he took a shower. By the time he went downstairs it was sunset, though no one had told the weather because it looked like the sunset had passed hours ago given how dark and cloudy it was. He leaned on the rail, looking out to the sky. A thunder struck in front of the coastline.

There he was, contemplating. The sky… his thoughts… The thunderstorm just after sunset.

Transcript:

Frida Goth: Thanks for helping me move in, Gunther. You didn’t have to come.

Gunther Goth: You’re my little sister. Of course I’m going to help you move. But, Frida, you know you could have just stayed with us at Goth Manor, right?

Frida: Is that a joke? Your wife hates me. Plus I haven’t set foot in that house in . . . a long time.

Gunther: *Sigh* You could at least let me pay for you to stay somewhere a bit more . . . suitable for someone of your pedigree. You’re a Goth, whether you like it or not.

Frida: You sound like Dad when you talk like that.

Notes:

This is my first time trying something like this, so it’s a bit of an experiment!

This is an actual gameplay save file, so while I do have a general story arc in mind (plus planned character development for several different beloved Sunset Valley townies), I plan to let the gameplay naturally guide the direction of the story, too. The plot will evolve based on events that occur during my playthrough, unless I decide to veto something. 😉

I also want to mention that I was very much inspired by @greenplumbboblover and her fantastic Life is Sunniest in Sunset Valley story, which I highly recommend! (Also, super grateful for your pose player add-on!)

Episode 1 "Where is Bella?" (Part 1, long)

Pleasantview Valley

It's just after midnight and the lights are still on in the Goth family home. It often happens that one or other resident of the house suddenly wakes up in the night because the relatives are once again haunting the garden. Only one ghost has not yet appeared… one who would be much more welcome here than all the others.

Until a few years ago, there was still a lot of music and happy laughter in this house. A harmonious family life. Mortimer and Bella lovingly looked after their children. Even if the family always seemed a little strange to others at first glance, they were well respected in the neighborhood.

Everything was fine until one evening when Bella not came home. Mortimer was very worried and called the police. A few days later he received a phone call. In a distorted voice, he was informed that his wife had been kidnapped. He then set everything in motion to find her again. Weeks, months passed… He completed all the tasks set for him by the callers… Until one day he suddenly heard nothing more from them.

The police had launched a nationwide search. Cities, forests, everywhere they searched for Bella, but it was in vain. They couldn't even find her under a different name. Until the search was finally called off and she was declared missing and dead.

Today, Mortimer sits alone at the table with his children at mealtimes. Over the years, grief has made him grow older faster than is normal. There are even rumors that he has found himself a new lover, but this is only discussed behind closed doors. We are in the present day and there was a late visit.

“Dad, it's getting late, you need to sleep and take your medication"/ ”I know that myself, Mr. Littleton was just about to leave anyway. You'd better check on your brother again, he's not sleeping well at the moment, that's not good for his performance at school"/ ”Hm, mhm. Goodbye, Mr. Littleton"/ ‘Goodbye, Cassandra’.

Cassandra went into her little brother Alexander's room. He was completely upset again: “Hey, what happened again?”/ “Great-grandmother Prudence always makes those horrible noises with the chains”/ “hey, it's okay. I'll talk to her again, 0.k.?"/ ‘Mhm. will you stay with me for a while?’/ ‘hn..of course’.

She pulled the armchair closer to the bed, as she always did when her little brother couldn't sleep. “At least they listen to you, why not me?"/ ”You have to be more assertive. Besides, you're still little, they've always annoyed me too, our father too"/ ‘and mom?’/ ‘No - not mom, they always liked her somehow’…

“Do you think mom is a ghost too?"/ ”Mh, maybe. “/ “then why isn't she with us, all Goths are always together, whether dead or alive”/ “so you wouldn't care whether she's alive or not?”/ “hm, not like that either… But somehow it does, the main thing is that she's with us"/ ”mhm. Now close your eyes, 0.k.?"/ ‘Good night, Cassy’.

After her brother fell asleep, she left the room. Her father was on his way to bed himself. “Has he calmed down again?"/ 'Yes. Have you…"/ ”I've taken my tablets, yes. It's late, you should be asleep too. “/ “in a minute. “/ “who was it this time?”/ “Prudence, you know how she is sometimes” / “hh yes. What time will you be home tomorrow?"/ ‘Maybe a bit later than usual’/ ”Mhm. Good night.”

. Cassandra has always coped well with little sleep. So she uses the nights to devote herself to her work. “I know you're dead, mom. But your soul is out there somewhere… I'm in contact with the brothers every day, I can't get any further in the institute on my own, and they're the best in their field that I could get through an insider. We will find you”.

She went outside to take care of the garden plants. “Hi, Grandpa Gunther"/ ”Hello Cassandra. You're busy again"/ ”Someone has to do it, eh? And you, are you watching the news on the internet again?"/ ‘I have to keep the other side up to date, they're crazy about the latest gossip’/ ‘hnhn, have fun’…

Once the plant had been tended to, she turned her attention to her great-grandmother Prudence's grave. “You don't dare go out today, do you? Don't forget that Alex tells me everything. And once our mother is back here, you won't be so quick to get the chains out. I'll find her, we,…, these boys the only ones I'm not afraid of being ripped off, i trust them.”

“Good night, Grandpa, I'm going to sleep now“/”Sleep well…. My goodness, what are they up to? We never used to have anything like this. Oh, the latest soccer results, that's important of course…”. Cassandra had to smile as she left the dining room. Her grandfather spent a lot of time on the computer when he came to visit. In this house, you never know who might drop by the next night.

NOTE: The two pictures you see at the beginning (from the past) were two pictures that were in Mortimer's album. That gave me a lot of inspiration for the story. :) I hope you liked the first episode. The interval between episodes will be irregular. So you'll have to be a little more patient with this story :) If anyone wants to be tagged when a new episode is published, please let me know. My story posts are also welcome to be shared.🙂😊

[treason-and-plot]

“What news?” says Mia to Julia, plucking a dead moth from one of the shelves.

“Cookie and Raj are engaged,” says Julia. “She told Spencer this morning. He said she was telling every person who walked into the booking office. Apparently Raj proposed to her last night. There’s nothing on her Simstagram yet because apparently he hasn’t gotten around to buying a ring but Spence asked Raj point-blank and Raj confirmed it. I don’t know what to think. Can you believe it? ” 

“It happened last night?” says Mia. She has to clap a hand over her mouth to prevent a hysterical bubble from escaping. “Oh my God. Wow. That fucking prick.”

“Are you okay?” says Julia.

“Jules, I saw them last night. At The Grotto," says Mia, the words coming out in a garbled rush. “She was a total bitch as usual, and he really pissed me off too. I can't say too much over the phone, but this is just the icing on the fucking cake. He can go fuck himself with a fucking chainsaw. Fucking arsehole. FUCK!”

A tourist couple who have just entered the shop exchange wide-eyed glances and hurriedly exit.

“I can’t understand why he’d propose to her in the first place” says Julia. “She’s not a good match for him. She’s too needy and insecure. And the way he speaks to her sometimes...he can't really love her, can he?"

Mia can only shake her head. She can hear a dull roar somewhere in the back of her skull, like the sounds of the waves crashing on distant shore.    

“Spence rates her, though,” says Julia. “He thinks she’s a class act.  Maybe it’s a guy thing. Maybe she’s got a princess in public, pornstar in the bedroom kind of vibe. What do you think?”

“I think I need to go and pay her a visit at the office,” says Mia.

“Mia, don’t-“ says Julia, but Mia has already disconnected.

Two hours later, they were all at the shore of the Red Sea. Lookout looked in. “I have seen the ring!” he cried. “It’s stuck in the crack of a sharp rock. The Long Fellow could easily get it, if it weren’t underwater.”

“You need me to drain the Red Sea? No problem!” The Fat Fellow lay down and drank the Red Sea dry.

The Long Fellow stalked the seabed and with Lookout’s instructions he found the ring.

After that, the Fat Fellow coughed the water back up, and they all returned to the Queen’s court.
