Chemical Override (bonus chapter three) - In the Modern World
Ewan Mitchell x actress!reader
a/n: I knew I wanted to do a fun bonus chapter after part seven, but I wasn't sure what about. Then came this music video, with this feral slimey cat, and the rest is history. Not to mention this brilliant anon further fueled the idea for the plot!
series masterlist ▪︎ main masterlist
Seems so hard just to be If it matters You complete me 🦎
This is set between part two and part three of the story. Right after the rumours of the reader with Jacob surface and she clarifies to Ewan that it's all just PR, and before he gets boozy and sends the voicemail.
Ewan
Martin’s room is typical of any unemployed and aimless outcast in their late 20s. Particularly, one with a penchant for conspiracy theories, reptilian critters, diorama building, and surface-level anarchy.
“So he’s just like a regular guy,” Ewan jokes, making the director Luna laugh.
“Sure, I bet this is how your own room is like back in… Derby, was it?”
“Yeah,” Ewan nods. “I actually have a place here in London now, too. The room is the same. But I’ve got more than one lizard.”
“Good one, mate,” she claps him on the back, before walking further into the room. She stops in front of the craggly stands that Martin passes off a workstation. “Here is where he keeps his pets. As you know, he’s got spiders, iguanas, and the rogue chinchilla.”
“Look at that little guy,” Ewan stoops down to inspect the grey rodent. “You lost there, buddy?”
“That one is our cameraman Eddie’s,” she remarks. “The bugs - we borrowed from the local habitat. All under code, of course.”
“Mmm,” he looks around the room. Maroon sheets, used up art supplies like glue and various unclean brushes, pieces of silver wire, old cables, duct tape, painted figurines, a scattering of old tickets for an underground fighting ring. Propped up on the headboard of his bed is a stolen street sign. On the wall is an assortment of posters - some of bands, some of comic strips, but mainly just scraps of art Martin finds from the internet. A rabid dog with its teeth bared. Grotesque humanoid figures.
Standard, regular pictures.
“You like the posters?” Luna notices him perusing the wall. “You know, I had the idea of incorporating something you like here. Maybe a band or… you like Metallica, I heard?”
“Hmm? Oh yeah, I love them. So I get to choose a poster that would fit Martin?”
“Sure,” she shrugs. “Something that represents both yourself and Martin, why not? Make up a backstory for it. It can be anything you set your mind to, really. Let’s start with - what would you have on your wall?”
He considers just taking her up on her suggestion of Metallica, maybe a live image of the band in their 2009 Mexico show. But he didn’t want to settle on that idea just yet. What is he fixated on at the moment? What film, what song, what popular character…
Then it strikes him, causing the blood to rise to the surface of his pale cheeks. Of course. There is you.
But if he props up a full-blown image of you, just you, maybe from a photoshoot or a candid photograph, would that be too much? Would he be crossing the line?
Last he heard from you, he found out that the supposed relationship you have with Jacob Elordi is but a ruse for the sake of publicity. Thank the gods, as Aegon screamed before Aemond set him ablaze.
But in this instance, Ewan’s relief is not entirely unfounded. You aren’t with anyone. He knows he should make a move, a proper one, and not just drop hints of his admiration in interviews like the one he just did for Vanity Fair. But what can he do? You’re all the way across the Atlantic, far from his desperate reach.
As selfish as it sounds, he couldn’t bear the thought of hearing you’re with someone else and knowing it’s true. The confession is yet to stumble out of him, but he knew he was already yours.
He calls you whenever he can, whenever he misses you, which is quite often, as evidenced by the lengthy log of long-distance calls on his phone, from England to America.
“What about something House of the Dragon related?” he asks. “Could serve as a nice easter egg for the fans, if they see this.”
“I don’t see why not? If you can convince us of Martin’s motivation for it, of why he would put that poster on his wall, then we can add it right away.”
He smiles shyly, glancing down at his sneakers. He knows his own motivation for putting your image up on his wall, but what about Martin’s? He tests some ideas out, gauging Luna’s reaction, “What if he’s a sci-fi, fantasy fanatic? If he’s a devout follower of George RR Martin, and so… naturally, he had a look at House of the Dragon as well?”
She purses her lips, tilting her head in thought. “That’s something right there, yeah. But we kind of saw him as being against television, you know? Against popular media in general, and he's a guy with an affinity for obscure dark video games and comic books.”
“Hmm, yeah, yeah,” he does his best to form the proposition in his mind. How does he offer the suggestion without being too obvious? “So what if, you know, he happened to see this one character in the show, and he’s just enamoured with them for some reason? This makes it remarkable, because he does admire her, but as an act of rebellion, he still doesn’t watch the show and only bothers himself with her scenes and the art style to her character, and - ”
“Wait, her?” Luna smiles, her confusion dwindling. She’s heard the rumours. Or fan theories. Or whatever the kids call it nowadays. She hasn’t been living under a rock, and Ewan definitely hasn’t kept mum about his crush either.
“Yeah,” he scratches the back of his neck, unable to look her directly in the eye, “I was thinking of having a poster for a character from the show.”
“I thought you wanted a poster of a dragon or something,” she jokes. “So, which character? Apologies, I’m not too familiar with a lot of them.” Ewan would recognise the knowing glint in her gaze, if he wasn’t too busy pretending to inspect a scrap of faux moldy wallpaper sticking out of the wall. Set design really outdid themselves in the details, all to give the impression that Martin is a negligent slob.
“Uhhm,” he dithers, a crooked smile breaking out despite him chewing on his bottom lip, “she’s, uhhh, one of the new characters this season.”
“Oh?” she plays along, nodding, “Which one? From what I saw, there’s two camps, right? And your camp is green, is she in that?”
“No, actually,” he shakes his head, “she’s in the opposing team, you could say.”
“That’s interesting,” she nods, slowly, trying to encourage him to simply spit it out. “You know, Ewan, mate, if you don’t actually tell me which character you want to put up, then this poster idea isn’t going to work out.”
His gaze snaps back to her, and he awkwardly titters under his breath. “Right, right. Uhhm, she’s called Alyna… Alyna Rivers.”
Luna’s mouth forms an O, as if she’s enjoying this little gotcha moment. She realises that Ewan, while reserved, wears his heart on his sleeve. What a lucky girl you are.
“And… why would Martin want her specifically up on his wall?”
The emphasis on Martin came off as superficial, her tone humorous, leading Ewan to believe that she actually pertains to him and not the character.
“He might see her as some sort of muse, you know… she’s a fighter, she’s got a fire in her…”
“And he’s got a crush on her.”
“Oh… well…”
“He likes her.”
“Uhhh… yeah I guess…”
“You guess?” she raises her eyebrows, grinning, “come on Ewan, what does Martin feel about her?”
“She’s his… his ray of light,” he decides. “His world is a mess. He’s lost. His one release entails getting beat up bloody every other day. But the idea of her is his beacon of hope. Untainted, you know. She’s… she’s perfect. She wouldn’t hurt him like the rest of the world already has.”
Luna nods in understanding, satisfied. She casually slings an arm over his shoulder, then says, “You know something, mate? That sounds a lot more than a crush to me.”
“Mmm,” he smiles, agreeing, the welcome image of you flooding his mind like always, “it sure does.”
The entire cast and crew for In the Modern World have the subsequent three days to accomplish filming.
Ewan sits in the makeup trailer, awaiting his cue, his vision now impaired by the unkempt strands of his long black wig. Spiky grunge cuffs decorate his wrists. He wears an ill-fitting pair of jeans and a t-shirt, the costume for the first scene to be filmed.
He has already gone through the process of trying to get in Martin’s head, seeing what makes him tick, what drives his actions, priming himself to jump inside his skin. He’s ready. At this point during filming, he has the habit of eliminating any distraction to maintain focus, and his phone is tucked inside his backpack on airplane mode.
Defying his routine, he retrieves his phone, nervous fingers clicking away until they land on your contact. He hovers over the voice call option, opting at the last second to do a video call instead.
The front camera turns on, catching him off guard with how messy he appears. Maybe this was not the best idea, he falters, what am I doing? I’m gonna scare her off.
“Ewan?” It’s too late to change his mind when your cheerful voice answers, your expression curious and inviting. His ray of light. “Is that you?”
He timidly brushes his hair - his wig - away from his face. “Hello, darling. I thought I’d ring you for a second.”
You laugh openly, drawing your face closer to your phone to get a better look at him, “Are you shooting the music video right now? Oh my god, look at you!”
He smiles sheepishly, teeth clamping over his bottom lip. “What do you think?”
“Wow,” you shake your head, the sunlight reflecting on your face from wherever you are. Likely walking around outside the studio, as he spots the white buildings in the background. “You look so… cool. This is like Aemond in the modern world, rebelling against his mother with the help of cheap hair dye.”
He appreciates your clever assessment, feeling much better about himself. “Don’t I look shabby?”
“Ewan,” you click your tongue, “judging by what you told me about your character, I think you’re supposed to look shabby.”
You’re right. He shakes his head, mostly at himself, for being so concerned if you still find him attractive even in this get-up.
“I feel like Kirk Hammett. Very rock n’ roll.”
You smirk, “I’d say this is your hottest look yet.”
He blushes profusely. You think he looks hot. It may just be a passing quip, a casual thing to say, but it has him in a grip. His reaction would nearly rival that of Martin’s, who would probably jump right on to making a mini-figurine of Alyna. After just a single interaction with you, Martin would probably spend the next few weeks occupied with objectionable fantasies. You and him, rolling around in the car. Only, car jitsu wouldn’t be the physical activity at play.
Ewan shifts in his seat, adjusting his trousers. In the end, he’s no better than Martin after all.
“Ewan?”
“Oh sorry, darling, I was just - ”
“I said that I have to go back inside,” you say, “I do appreciate your call, though.”
His face falls, despite the fact that he has to be on set soon anyway. “Of course, darling, go ahead.”
“Kick some ass for me?”
For you? Anything. “You got it, baby.” The name jumps out of him before he can stop himself, and he justifies it as a ‘Martin’ reaction. He’s in character, isn’t he?
You roll your eyes. It is your turn to blush and fail at hiding it, and you do. “Okay, rockstar. Talk to you soon, okay?”
“Okay,” he says, then adds, “Wait!”
You raise your phone again. “Oh, what is it?”
“I, uhhh, I miss you.”
“I miss you too,” you smile, and he commits the image to memory. This moment is his, just his; Martin can bloody wait.
Martin
Martin throws himself down on his bed, limbs limp and flailing about. It must have been the hundredth time for that afternoon - getting up, rolling back on the mattress, prodding his pets, jumping around the room to incoherent punk music, cigarettes burning out between his chapped lips.
He has nothing to do today, not until it’s time. Just like every other day, every other week, in this drudgery of an existence. Everything means nothing, and the twisted truth of it is that he thinks himself free.
Free of the cycle. Free of meaningless friendships. Free of love. Free of her.
The ghost of his ex-lover still haunts him, golden haired and rosy-cheeked, bundled up in her puffy coat like some cheap caricature of an angel. But she was no angel. Angels would not abandon someone they claim to love, with a mere snap of their manicured fingers.
But she haunts him. What they had, and what they could have had. Was it even his? Would it have come out with a thin sprig of dark curls? He did not care to know now.
She was his everything once. But isn’t that overrated? Falling in love is so overrated.
His fingers clumsily mess with the controls for his toy helicopter as he lays down. The apparatus hovers above head, filling the room with a buzzing noise. His lit cigarette stumbles from his lips, and the noise is joined with his frantic, fuck, fuck, fuck, as he tries to shake it out of his hair. He succeeds, but the helicopter teeters in the air, until it slams against the poster of Alyna Rivers displayed over his headboard.
He lets it fall, becoming distracted with her image. It’s a promotional still of her in her complete hunting attire - a fitted leather jerkin over a dark red tunic, tight breeches tucked into knee-high boots, a dagger sheathed in her belt. But his favourite addition is the longbow she grips in her hand, her fierce expression making it known that she is prepared to draw it back at a moment’s notice.
Martin gets on his knees on the bed. He kisses two fingers, then gently touches them to her poster in a gesture of reverence.
If only…
“Good morrow, my lady,” he says in a sing-song voice, “always a pleasure to come upon your visage.”
He leans closer, tracing her figure with precision, “I bet you can fix me. I bet you can make me feel alive.”
He chases after euphoria that night, over and over, fucked up and depraved and empty. But it hits different this time. It’s better.
As white spots flicker and dance in his vision, and the fog in his mind threatens to swallow everything, it’s not the vision of his ex that flashes before him - it’s Alyna he sees.
Her face is sharp and real, cutting through the haze like a beacon. She holds him together as exhaustion takes over him and the oxygen is slowly cut off from his windpipe. She anchors him, even on the precipice of oblivion.
The opponent is alarmed by Martin’s eyes rolling back revealing the whites of his eyes. He loosens his hold, letting go even if Martin refuses to tap out.
“Fuck, you alright?” he rasps.
Martin doesn’t hear him. His bloodstained, cracked lips curl into a ghost of a smile as his hand trembles, reaching out to press against the fogged-up windshield.
With a fragile sense of peace, he murmurs, “You fixed me.”

Some notes in the margins...
I know I said I would include the reader's reaction to the music video, but I decided to use the time to work on part eight... I still might get to writing this idea as a drabble though 🤷🏻♀️
Not Ewan having beef with his own character HAHAHA this lad I swear
Part eight out very, very soon! It'll be a wild ride. Oh, I'm not even kidding :)

TS3 World Adventures - Chinese Chopsticks Longer & Texture Replacement Mod
D E F A U L T R E P L A C E M E N T
New custom mesh and 5 textures to replace EA default chopsticks.
Reason why I made the change:
Chopsticks portrayed in The Sims 3 World Adventures are too short. Shang Simla is China world, therefore chopsticks in-game should be portrayed as Chinese chopsticks, which are the longest compared to Japanese and Korean chopsticks.
EA Default Chopsticks. Short, too boxy and have pixelated & stretched texture of "random Simlish Chinese writing".
The modded textures:
福 ( Fú ) means happiness, luck, blessing, good fortune.
龙 ( Lóng ) Chinese Dragon symbolizes gods who control rain, weather, and seasons; kind, benevolent, powerful, who bring luck and prosperity.
Peacock symbolizes "grow old together" and will bring harmony to the couple and a long-lasting marriage.
FuZi_Mu ---> Hanzi writing "Fú" with wooden texture.
2. BaiNianHaoHe ---> Peacocks with Hanzi writing "BaiNianHaoHe" / 【百年好合】 means "To bless this unison with harmony that would last over hundred years".
In short, wishing the couple everlasting eternal love.
Recommended for your couple Sims and especially have just married.
3. Long_HuangSe ---> Yellow colour and has Chinese dragon image with Hanzi writing "Lóng".
4. FuZi_HeiSe ---> Hanzi writing "Fú" with black colour.
5. FuZi_HongSe ---> Hanzi writing "Fú" with red colour.
This is custom 3D mesh I created by myself. The bottom end of chopsticks has round shape and upper end has rectangle shape.
I increased the size of texture to 1024 pixels. You can see the details on the chopsticks clearly.
⚠️ Disclaimer: The mod doesn't alter the animation in-game. If you see the chopsticks going through Sim's hand, you should ask that to EA employees why they made the default chopsticks position and animation like that. Default EA The Sims 3 chopsticks are already going through the Sim's hand in the game.
Requirement: World Adventures Expansion Pack
Sim must have Asian trait to have chopsticks while eating.
Tips to unlock Asian trait: NRaas > Master Controller > (Sim) > Advanced > Traits > Change (Master Controller Cheats add-on module required)
⚠️ This package will be replacing the default EA, so you have to choose one. Installing more than one default replacement will cause conflict. ⚠️
As usual, install one of these packages on Package folder. You can safely delete the package if you no longer want to use the default replacement.
【 Download FuZi_Mu】
【 Download BaiNianHaoHe 】
【 Download Long_HuangSe 】
【 Download FuZi_HeiSe 】
【 Download FuZi_ HongSe 】

me when tumblr recommends me someone defending dr3 in the tags and i read through the entire thing and get mad bc they don't understand what brainwashing really is.
#'brainwashing has been a staple of the series for a long time' they say (mostly talking about mind control)#mind control in the fictional sense not the real world sense btw#magical/technological means of instantly controlling ones thoughts#the video in dr0? yeah. brainwashing. they were watching it ON FUCKING LOOP over and over to the point of desensitizing themselves#they were already vulnerable to start with as well. it was fucking conditioning them. not controlling them directly – brainwashing them#the monokuma kids? DIRECT MIND CONTROL#THEY ARE WEARING FUCKING HELMETS ON THEIR HEADS AND HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THEMSELVES OR THEIR AUTONOMY#THAT IS NOT BRAINWASHING!! THAT IS FUCKING!! PUPPETEERING THEM#they brought up smthn in the togami book. never read that but apparently there's a book that spreads despair disease#(info gotten from unreliable source in the book)#tbh it's probably propaganda to help despair spread better#it doesn't have to be fucking literal#also despair disease... if it is anything like dr2... IS NOT BRAINWASHING#IT JUST FUCKIN TAKES OVER THEIR BODY/OVERRIDES THEIR PERSONALITY AUTOMATICALLY#IT'S A MIND ALTERING ILLNESS???#NOT!! BRAINWASHING!!#and then of course saying brainwashing in dr3 is the natural conclusion and that it doesn't retcon anything#AND I AGREE BRAINWASHING IS THE NATURAL CONCLUSION. BUT DR3 DIDN'T DO THAT#it just fucking... made them flip a switch out of nowhere?#MIKAN SAID SHE BECAME THE WAY SHE DID DUE TO HER RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHERS#NOT BC SHE WATCHED SILLY DESPAIR VIDEO#to use magic subliminal messaging to INSTANTLY change the way someone thinks isn't brainwashing in your typical sense. that's mind control#let's define brainwashing shall we?#a method for systematically changing attitudes or altering beliefs#originated in totalitarian countries#especially through the use of torture— drugs— or psychological-stress techniques#or perhaps this one:#any method of controlled systematic indoctrination especially one based on repetition and confusion#REPEATED TORTURE. REPEATED WATCHING OF THINGS#**REPETITION IS KEY**

The tragic funny spacesuit-skeleton from popular shoot-bang yeehaw game Radiation: Neo Nevada, specifically its second-to-last expansion, Early-Era Depression. But as a Minecraft.
Translation: the Y-17 Trauma Override Harness from Fallout: New Vegas, specifically its third expansion, Old World Blues. In the style of a Minecraft mob.

Every time I see a Nibelheim argument that boils down to "Sephiroth did the thing because his ego/pride was shattered" I want to rip my hair out.
#ff7#ffvii#final fantasy 7#crisis core#sephcanons#sephiroth#nibelheim incident#Like okay that is a teeny tiny component but it was NOT the overriding factor#It's so much more than that#Sephiroth doesn't go insane because he thought he was better than everyone else and the truth called that into question#He goes insane because he correctly discerns that he was a lab-grown inhuman soldier being exploited by the company that raised him#AND it makes sense for him to go to Jenova--he feels he was wronged and the thing with the Cetra only adds to that.#Jenova is the only person that can understand him and the only thing he ever wanted#Plus you know he was extremely mentally unwell#so there's that too#Lost pride is only a fraction of Sephiroth's motivations#It's a matter of dehumanization and years of trauma finally taking their toll#He is delusional about his place in the world because it's all he has to cling to#the alternative is to die#Sephiroth has been taught survival all his life and THIS is how his mind rationalizes he will survive

In Your Modern World (a Chemical Override minishot)
Ewan Mitchell x actress!reader
a/n: so this lil baby is set some time in part 5, around late August, when they were at the height of their initial relationship. Also, this references the bonus chapter In the Modern World. No taglist for surprise minishots - I hope this will find the chem ov readers in due time! <3
series masterlist ▪︎ main masterlist
The reader and Ewan finally watch his music video. With some interruptions...
"So the concept to this is very straightforward. It's about Martin, and he's a recluse, an aimless youth of sorts, and..." Ewan's words come out in a nervous flurry as he places your laptop atop the duvet. "Do you remember what I told you about it? I mean... that was nearly two months ago, was it? But - "
You can't help but smile at his endearing ramble. "Baby," you say soothingly, letting him wrap an arm around your shoulders. "I'm sure I'll love it."
He presses a soft kiss to your temple. "I haven't seen the final cut myself. I hope I did well."
"It's already the music video of the year," you say with a smirk, brushing your lips against the corner of his, "as long as you're in it."
His cheeks flush, the sight of it making your heart flutter. You can't resist leaning in to kiss him again. It's meant to be momentary, but his hand finds its way to the back of your head, keeping you in place so that the kiss deepens. His other hand snakes its way underneath your shirt - his shirt, oversized on your frame - kneading the flesh of your waist.
"Kissing was a bad idea," he rasps. "Now I don't wanna do anything else."
"Oh, oh!" you gasp and pull back when his hand starts to inch your shirt upward, "Hold on there, baby. Music video time."
He groans in protest, his forehead resting against yours, a teasing smile on his lips. "Alright, then. But the next time I kiss you, there'll be no interruptions."
"Fine," you roll your eyes. Then you reach out and press play on the video.
It opens with Ewan as Martin, black wig and all, brooding heavily as he scrutinises his slimey pet. You spot something in the background immediately. It's right there for viewers to see.
Before you can process it, the shot quickly cuts to another scene of him with a thin paintbrush in his hand, hunched over some figurine. Then another, and another... Martin in his room, going about his humdrum and aimless routine. You spot it - yourself - flashing in and out of the frame.
To your side, Ewan is silently chuckling at your surprised expression. Your lips are parted slightly, eyes squinting like you don't believe what you just saw. He waits for it, gazing at you fondly, forgetting all about his piece of work playing on the laptop.
You let your thoughts win over, hitting pause.
As if in slow motion, you turn to face him, the question practically bubbling from your lips. "Was that me?"
"What was that, darlin'?" He absently twirls a lock of your hair, trying - and failing - to keep a straight face.
You raise your eyebrows, challenging him with a look that says Really?
He laughs. "Yes, I asked to have a poster of Alyna Rivers on Martin's wall. Seemed fitting."
"Seemed... fitting?" you reply. "A grunge boy with a poster of a medieval fantasy character? How does that make sense?"
"Martin likes her," he shrugs, grinning mischievously, "What can I say?"
"Martin?" you tease. "Or Ewan Mitchell?"
"Martin likes you," he taps the tip of your nose, "But Ewan... is in love with you. Completely obsessed."
You shake your head, unable to fight the rush of pleasant warmth to your cheeks.
"There is a difference, darling," he clarifies in a husky whisper.
You glance back at the screen, where the video is paused on a shot of Martin sitting in the car.
"Well, he is pretty hot," you admit with a smirk. "All dirty and reckless."
"Hmm," he chews on his lip, "is he?"
Your hand moves to press play again, but his own darts out to stop you.
His voice is a low, seductive rumble. "Think you can fix him? Think you can fix poor Martin?"
Your lips stretch out in a sultry smile, eyes glinting at his playful instigation. He nuzzles into the crook of your neck, giving in to the pull of distraction. The rest of the music video can wait; he's in it anyway, he's got some clue as to how it goes.
"I think I can, I think I can," you whisper humorously in that famous playground chanting, desire bleeding through your words.
"Lucky Martin," he breathes against your skin, "should I be jealous?"
Instead of answering, you lean forward, pressing your body flush against his and reclaiming his lips, remembering when he said that the next time you do, there will be no interruptions.
Martin can wait. Or he can watch, in the back of your minds, why the hell not?
You push the laptop aside, then climb on top of your boyfriend, straddling his thighs. He smirks openly, in pure satisfaction.
You ask, "Why don't we give him something to be jealous about?"

TS3 World Adventures - Stir Fry Texture Replacement Mod
D E F A U L T R E P L A C E M E N T
5 textures to replace EA's default Stir-Fry texture.
Reason why I made the change:
EA wrongly represented Vegetable Stir-Fry that supposedly Chinese dish, but looking like Italian or European dish (the orange looking vegetables are separated with other vegetables, the green yellowish colour, which has weird colour that doesn't look appetizing. And there is European style leaf on the plate). Chinese style stir-fry combines all ingredients into one, not separating them into two.
I consider the Stir-Fry is Vegetable Stir-Fry. I followed the Traditional Chinese version of the game: 炒菜 , which means Vegetable Stir-Fry. Chinese style stir-fry implements a lot of vegetables in the dish.
Classic Maxis Match. I found 256 pixel texture on S3pe, so I made use of this texture, replacing the default 128 blurry texture. So you can see the details more clearly: Mushrooms, green peppers, chili.
The rest are custom textures I took from various websites.
蒜蓉炒青菜 SuanRongChaoQingCai ---> Bok Choy vegetables with garlic and chili.
菜心炒蝦仁 CaiXinChaoXiaRen ----> Cai Sim vegetables with prawn
長豆炒蘑菇 ZhangDouChaoMoGu ----> Long beans with mushrooms
西兰花炒蘑菇 XiLanHuaChaoMoGu ---> Broccoli with carrots and mushrooms
I made the uncooked textures on pan. Maxis Match using the same EA texture, so I didn't make change for Maxis Match.
All GeoStates (Full, Half, Empty) are working. This mod only replacing the texture.
Requirement: World Adventures Expansion Pack
⚠️ This package will be replacing the default EA, so you have to choose one. Installing more than one default replacement will cause conflict. ⚠️
As usual, install one of these packages on Package folder. You can safely delete the package if you no longer want to use the default replacement.
【 Download Classic Maxis Match 】
【 Download SuanRongChaoQingCai 】
【 Download CaiXinChaoXiaRen 】
【 Download ZhangDouChaoMoGu 】
【 Download XiLanHuaChaoMoGu 】

carmen's team red seeing her being upset that she doesn't get to be with gray
#red crackle#carmen x gray#carmen x graham#gray x carmen#graham x carmen#red crackle thoughts#gifs#sorry for the sarcasm but i forgot to mention that i think that they are meant to just accept that they are on separate paths is also a dum#argument#these are all examples of carmen doing the cutting off [warranted or not] and it eats at or destroys her#them being separated is not a good thing#like i don't know how you got that from the show#they can't be together atm because heck no we're not accepting bad choices as good like no x 10#but like its not framed in a good way at any point#their resignation at separation is a BAD thing for them#and does nothing but feed their sadness#and none of her team is set up as a good friend* replacement to gray's bad friend* even when the show could go that route#they prove to be the coolest people in the world and amazing friends#they are other great relationships she has#but they're don't undermine or override the importance carmen places on her wish to reunite with gray specifically#venting in the tags#and even after they get to a healthier place [carmen with her team and gray no longer running haywire] separate is unsatisfying#when they want together

a little more disorganised exploring
#disorganised only bc some are from my older NG+ save file where I managed to NOT override gravity and died missing a zip line jump#and then ended up being told by Aloy that I need to finally do Erend's quest so Avad will talk to me#even tho I literally just saved Itamen and his mom so what the heck. he knows who we are gdi#anyway. the other ones are from my embrace-escape run where I'm outside early just collecting stuff#and doing as many quests as the game allows pre playing through the Proving#world's a little weird. campfires don't save your progression properly. but vantage points do#and you can fast travel to settlements. just.. no override and only one bandit camp as far as I've been able to tell#so it's my favourite game - hiking simulator 3040 my beloved. love this game. the vibes are stellar and the visuals are gorgeous#The Cut is lovely too but I got sidetracked going for all the metal flowers and vessels and vantage points instead#plus.. no tallnecks so far and even if they showed up I couldn't override them anyway#so cauldrons are prob out of the question too. not sure if I tried before tho#saddest thing so far: no Proving means no Yan means no Solai means no Nakoa quest and therefore no Nakoa :'(#but Daytower is locked until later anyway.. tho maybe I could get there from the other side? the other gate further north is open luckily#which means I've met Petra again and done her first quest. which does make me happy. I've missed her and her flirting :)#(grandma Teersa is so well done btw. LOOK AT HER)#anyway. off to bed now#lou plays#Horizon Zero Dawn#hzd remaster

Just so everyone knows, it took less than thirty seconds to get harumi from "OMG you're the overlord, I'm not working with the literal embodiment of all evil!" to "yes, I will dedicate my life to you as your faithful servant"
#less than thirty real world seconds to completely override her redemption#yeah i think she might just be evil#she never cared about the kids#sorry season 9#you mean nothing#harumi saved that family for her ego or smthn#ninjago#harumi#ns15#ninjago crystalized
