Very FIRST Sims Game

Did you know that there was a sims game…BEFORE the sims 1?

The Sims Steering Committee was an initial prototype of the game, released on June 4, 1998. I've read that this prototype was given to EA to greenlight the full production of the Sims - although, I'm unsure if that's 100% true.

It's fully playable! You can get it though this LINK

I've played it before and honestly found it quite interesting how good the simple demo of a game can be? Albeit there are issues, it's fun!

There are four scenarios in this version, which were never included in the main game. They're called 'The Accident', 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun', 'The Kiss' & 'The Money Pit'.

The scenarios take the player through what your sims are capable of...in the style of a interactive tutorial!

You even get to explore the first ever Sims neighbourhood! It's called Happy Acres. I wish we got Happy Acres in the main Sims game...I might re-create it for the sims 2 sometime.

There are many videos online & on youtube about the game if you search up 'The Sims Steering Committee', so here is the link to one → CLICK HERE

The Cutting Room Floor gives you more details about the demo, if you'd like to read more!

some doodles for this daemon au fic which has had a legitimately concerning grip on my mind!!

Here’s a sort of…. Prompt? Headcanon? Idea?? For Danny Phantom.

Let’s go with the,, semi-fanon idea of cores. We see the Far Frozen with ice powers, with their whole little civilization. They are ALSO the only ghosts we see that have any medical knowledge.

So what if ghosts with ice cores had healing powers? Danny is very durable, but he also (probably) has advanced healing.

Idk, it’d be a fun possibility to explore Danny ‘plays as a tank in irl superheroics 4 times out of 5’ Phantom finding out he can heal people while doing a school-mandated cpr class.

it’s all the rest of what i want with you

connor dewar/brandon duhaime :: 8k

Summary:

“Brandon,” Connor says with a sigh. “There’s no baby in there.”

“Not yet,” Brandon says. Connor feels his stomach twist, almost like what he would imagine a baby kicking to feel like.

in these trying times of dewvorce, may i offer you 8k of pwp inspired by @stillfertile’s wonderful art which i had. several breakdowns about 🫶 anyway please enjoy!!!

allowed myself the time to spend to write a scene because the fancy took me, ended up destroying my sleep schedule to write it, woke up at 4 pm just to realize it’s not good and i would need to redo it

tiny update on my hawthorn island🌱

was considering doing a complain post about all the things that bug me while playing this way.. but honestly i would rather have a more positive take on it😌✌🏻

there are big limits for sure, but im still having a great time! the island feels even more open and spacious than usual since there’s very little going on with buildings and i love that!

the two houses have their own area and i still have a lot of space to, for example, include a large forest area on the island! something i always want but struggle to find enough space to include🍃

the tents are a big plus for me i looove how they look! i also get redd in the plaza on sundays and after i eventually get the early nooks cranny i think mable will start showing up too🥺 its nice to know that some things are still going on in the plaza! im curious if other npc’s will show up as well, i think im def gonna see gulliver at least🤔

and ofc i cant forget that we have a little nookling walking around all day long!! i also love the early game music playing in the background! im playing with the sound on more often🍀

brunch was very good except towards the end we got to talking about elden ring bc my friend is a big fromsoft fan & i said “yeah it’s too bad it’s so hard for me, i should give it another chance but i don’t enjoy games that are that hard” (well-trodden ground, we have had this conversation before) and then she started lecturing me about how it’s not that hard, actually, people just say it’s really hard, and if you play it the right way (inscrutable rules known only to people familiar with the franchise) it’s really much easier, you didn’t try hard enough and should try again, it’s not that big a deal you can’t pause, you just need to find a save spot and here’s where they are (useless information to me), etc. and like the thing is that i was already saying that i should give it another chance. but i was also saying that i recognize that im not the intended audience for those types of games and KNEW that when i purchased it but wanted to give it a try because everyone else looked like they were having a lot of fun. im an EXTREMELY casual gamer. i barely play video games at all, let alone difficult ones. you telling me that im wrong for recognizing that something isn’t for me isn’t gonna make me play your game. i know my own mind. and this conversation actually makes me never want to play a video game ever again!

so if you romance and ascend astarion you can kick him in the balls when he tries to turn you and it’s just very funny, he’s so pissy about it. so much for the most powerful vampire of all time or whatever, he stamps around like a toddler and then leaves forever

[thedrotter]

sweet sweet re:kinder community... I would like to ask y'all how you came upon the game and your experiences with it because i wanna know. im genuinely so curious to hear about other people's experiences and little opinions about this game because of how wild the game is (/pos) I'd love to hear it. do ramble to me about it
