Curious Family (from left to right) : Pascal, Penelope, Nervous, and Tycho Curious

Pascal's younger brothers moved away to start their own families, leaving Pascal to focus on his own. He has his wonderful son Tycho, and married the unlikely love of his life Nervous, having a biological child with him due to the genius of a friend of the family. Seeing his brothers' surpass him in position at the science facility hurts but seeing his son Tycho be the most accomplished of all the Curious cousins will soothe it. But are Tycho's grades enough to reach valedictorian before graduation? And how will Tycho cope under the pressure?

Meanwhile, it has always been Nervous' dream to be a photographer, but will he accomplish his goal or will his neurotic tendencies (due to his traumatic upbringing) hinder him?

Pascal (Adult): Genius, No Sense of Humor, Neat, Grumpy, Computer Whiz

Nervous (Adult): Neurotic, Slob, Excitable, Loser, Friendly

Tycho (Teen): Genius, Excitable, Couch Potato, Handy

Penelope (Toddler): Loves the Outdoors, Artistic

Sims 2 Drabble

The night descended upon Strangetown, thick and suffocating, as if the very air had absorbed the weight of forgotten sorrows. The Specter estate stood at the edge of the world, a crumbling monument to loss, its walls soaked in the quiet that had long since seeped into its bones. A garden, untended and wild, sprawled around it like a forgotten memory, the gravestones rising like silent sentinels beneath the bruised sky.

Olive sat among them, her fingers brushing the cold stone, tracing lines worn smooth by time and neglect. The chill in the air seeped into her skin, but it did not reach her heart. Silence had long since become her companion, as familiar as the weight of absence that clung to everything around her. And then, there it was.

It did not announce itself. It did not speak. It arrived as it always did, a shift in the fabric of the world, a subtle tremor beneath the surface of things. The air held its breath, the shadows lengthened in quiet reverence, and the night itself seemed to bow before it.

“You visit often,” she whispered, her voice barely a murmur as her fingertips brushed over the name etched in stone, forgotten, lost to time, yet never fully erased.

It did not answer, but it never needed to. Its presence was enough. An unspoken promise, a constant that had been with her from the very beginning. She had felt it the first time, felt its gaze, empty and endless, watching from the darkness behind its hood. It had never been more than that: a presence. A mark upon her soul, carved without her knowing, shaped long before she had even understood the call.

She often wondered: had she drawn it to her, or had it always been there, watching from the edge of her life, waiting for the right moment to step forward? Was it she who had courted Death, or had it been waiting all along, drawn by the way she danced so close to the line between life and the unknown?

It mattered not. Her gaze lifted to meet it, the embodiment of finality, the solemn keeper of endings. A slow, knowing smile unfurled upon her lips.

“Stay a while.”

And so it did.

Episode 19: hint from afar (longer Part)

It's Thursday morning, 8:11 am. Pollination has finally found the time to meet up with Pascal and Cassandra, Friedbert has also come along to see his brother-in-law,…, “Good morning. I'm really sorry for putting you off so long, Cassandra"/ ‘oh, please, I have hope that the longer it takes, the more successful the results will be’.

Cassandra also meets Polli's son.,,oh, hello, and you are?“/ ‘Johnny Smith, nice to meet you’/,,hn in, hello. I take it you go to school here?”/,,That's right, but today we have a day off.“/,,And do you like school?”/ “Well… I'm quite a bit ahead of my friends, but I don't let on?”/ “Oh, I see. You're a lot smarter than them,” Cassandra winked at him, as she already knew from little Tycho how quickly the alien children can learn. / „That's how it looks. And you're looking for your mother?"/,,Yes… Apparently you already know all about it.“.

“Yes, I know exactly what my father knows. We're connected…"/ ‘A bit like a network?’/ ‘You could say that, yes’/ ‘wow, impressive’/ ‘well, a bit annoying now and then, but we have the option of putting connection on standby, a temporary disconnection.’/ ‘I see, you can also be private that way’/ ‘oh yes’.

While Cassandra and the others are busy with work on this general day off, Lazlo looks after his nephew at home. “So, do you like the pamp stuff? I think I was given something else as a child.” ‘I don't think so, Uncle Lazlo.’ ”Yes, i did, believe me. That's why I need something solid to bite into now, hehe”

After a little while, the boy finished eating. “and when would you like to kiss the beautiful woman?”. Lazlo winced briefly. “If there's one thing I don't like, it's when you read my mind, you rascal… I don't know, probably never"/ ”Sorry. I like her"/ ”yeah… Me too… When I've eaten, we'll play a little more, okay?”….

Later. Together with Polli and the others, Kassandra drove to the lab. There, Pollination sat down at the main computer, which is fed with all the data. And Cassandra got to see something new. “What exactly is he doing now?”/ „he's connecting to the computer, but not just to it, he's searching all the databases in the universe.’ ”My mother… In the universe” / ‘could well be possible’.

Bella… Goth… Bellaaa… “. His voice was almost monotonous and he said her name over and over again. The procedure lasted about 10 minutes until he fell silent… But only for a few seconds. “Oh, dear child, how did you get there? That's centuries ahead of Earth."/ ‘What do you see, Polli?’/ ”Her grave… On Lunar Lakes”.

Cassandra was in tears. But she smiled. “Hey, are you OK?"/ ”Oh Pascal, yes, everything's fine. I'm just relieved, even though I should be sad"/ ‘I think you've got a few emotions mixed in you now.’/ ”Yes, that's true. So, Lunar Lakes, if her grave is there, her spirit must be there too“/”yes and… No,” they heard the monotone voice say from behind. “What do you mean, Polli?”…

Po:,,As you know, a ghost only comes at night, and not even every night. And the place where they usually stay is the afterlife"/ C: ‘but that's not where she is, according to my family’/ Po:,,that's right… She is…"/ P: ‘in a paraphysical plane?’/ ”Correct. We just have to find out which one. And you know…"/ ‘phew, yes, there's not just one, but countless’/ ‘and once we've found it, we just have to pull her out“’.

“These planes… Are they something like intermediate worlds?"/ ”Between this world and the other, there are countless other places where souls and spirits roam. Some are in good hands there, others more or less stray there for various reasons"/ ”o.k., and… You think you can get them out of there?“/”Yes, that's why we developed this device. A while ago”.

“And how exactly does it work? Pascal hadn't told me much on the phone so far"/ ”Hnhn, that's the point of a surprise. But one that isn't 100% fixed, so he's been working hard on the calibration for the last few days. The transporter has to be activated manually. Then you go out of the room again. Once we have located your mother precisely, we can beam her here”.

“I'll switch off again, the force field is still a bit unstable. Shit, it'll really have to sit when we find her…"/ ‘It's okay, and then come back out, you could hardly see anything for a week last time’. …

Now that the new information had been collected, everything was set up on the main computer for the further search for Bella, but a kind of early warning system should also be set up on the computer at home so that a notification is sent as soon as the sensors have located her. “so she'll be in one of the levels… how do you think she got there?"/ ‘only she knows, or nobody does’.

It took a moment for Pollination to sit down with the others again… “Is it very tiring when you make contact with the universe?”/ “Let's put it this way, until 200 years ago it was much easier for me, hnhn. But the connection is precise and I can communicate with every conceivable species still in existence out there. And their computers too.”.

“Really incredible. With every species in the universe? Even with animals?"/,,Mhm… Plants too, everything that lives. So that excludes stones smirk"/ ”Yes, that's what I thought chuckle. You really are very nice, Polli. I always thought the aliens would take over our world"/ ‘well, one day, some alien nation or other will for sure’/ ‘not very reassuring.’/ ‘I know, but fact’…

“ but believe me, Cassandra, by the time that happens, humanity may even have destroyed itself"/ ”yes, that may well be possible. After all, there are enough elites who want to see the weaker people on the ground."/ ”That's how it looks. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go home“/”of course. And thank you very, very much., Polli“.

After Pollination had left, they talked briefly about everything that had been done so far. “What does it actually mean that the transporter is not yet 100% fixed?"/ ”Well, that means that the energy force field we use to grab your mother must not collapse. Even if the process won't take more than 2-3 minutes, we want to prevent problems"/ ‘Of course, definitely’.

“I forgot to ask him… Where is Lunar Lakes?"/ ‘A few light years outside our solar system’/ ”mhm. I wonder how she got there… And most of all… How she died…“/”I think we'll figure it all out. We're done here for today. I'm connected to the main computer at home, so if anything happens, we'll be informed“/,,o.k.”.

While the others make their way home, Lazlo treats himself to a little space trip. It's only virtual, but it's worth a lot: “Let's see if I see that pretty snail again, hehe, she was really cute with her four eyes”.

Playing ball in the desert. Pascal and Cassandra get on really well. And so far she's been so focused on the mission with her mother that she hasn't thought much about her fiancé. But she tells herself that he's getting on well. Especially with other women. She looks at the whole thing almost enviously. He can do it whenever he wants and she has to stick strictly to her abstinence. If only it were different…

It was a late dinner that day. “So, have you made any progress?“/”Halfway there. How is my son?“/ ‘Good. He's already talking about finally wanting to go to school’/” Well, there's still a bit of time until then."/. “Will he make good friends? I mean, he'll always be a few steps ahead of the others when it comes to learning. Just like Johnny"/ ”I think so, and he still has his aunts who are just like him. They will also teach him the right learning pace”. Not much more was said. Cassandra thought for a moment about the machine she had seen behind the glass. That glow. One day, hopefully, she would see her mother in it again.

Art dumps and disappears again

I have a good amount of art to share today. Mostly of Needles of course

There's no context to all except for the last one. It's PSP Needles again. Even though he's an ankle biter and spawn from hell, he's still a little boy. A little boy who lost his dad, keeping his smelly ass shirt as emotional support to help cope

Sims 3 STRANGETOWN: 17 YEARS LATER LET'S PLAY

Seventeen-ish years have passed since the bizarre scripted events from Strangetown (Sims 2). The once-peculiar desert town, has since become a place of eerie intrigue: a growing alien-hybrid population breeding galactic racial tensions, and a suspicious twin boom that has drawn interest from the wider scientific community. The strange occurrences that defined its early years have seemingly quieted down, and a new generation is growing up to confront the dark secrets that linger beneath the surface. The original residents have grown older (or died), started or grown their families, and some new families have even moved in. However, the town is still home to peculiar happenings, cryptic messages, and a lingering fear that the mysterious unknown could return at any moment.

Strangetown, but in the Sims 3 (I've built/placed additional lots and changed some the OG lots, but the bare bones town is the same as the download link)!

I've already been playing this town for a bit (like 18 Sim Weeks on epic and Long lifespans), so most of the sims you know and love from the Sims 2 Strangetown are a bit older (or dead....). Will be posting pictures from each family as I play through them rotationally, but will start with family introductions in play order which are posted (like immediately after this). So excited to start sharing with whoever's interested! I am stepping out of my comfort zone and also co-posting Youtube video playthroughs of this town. If you want to see these events alongside my horrible voice please check it out!

I want to note that everyone is free to submit asks about any cc/mods/other questions. I currently do not have any reshade in my game (though that's probably apparent lol). I'm not sure I can handle reshade, and I have some minor lighting mods already, but feel free to recommend some!
