Kira's Sim Yu-Niverse: Nerd Herd Again, Now With Serenity and TKB

Next: The Ishtars and the Kaibas

Happy Sim Saturday, cornflakes! :D

I've revamped the Nerd Herd yet again (this should be the last one for a while 😅), and this time I've decided to include Serenity and TKB, since they'll each be part of one of my main households at some point.

The old save was kind of a mess, because I started it back in 2019 and it was a while before I came up with any real gameplay rules, so I'm thinking of starting again from an earlier point in the timeline - probably halfway between the Ceremonial Duel and DSOD, although I'm not sure if DSOD is an ingredient in my canon soup. 🤔 So yeah, when I start posting my gameplay, you'll be able to see the whole thing from the beginning! :D

Yugi's aspiration is The Curator, and his traits are Geek, Good, Loyal and Self-Assured (character development, cornflakes~).

Atem's aspiration is Discover Life (by Midnitetech), and his traits are Genius, Competitive (by Kuttoe), Geek and Socially Awkward.

I was lucky enough to win the Goth Galore kit in a giveaway earlier this year, and it's perfect for Yugi! I wish there were more CC addons for it, though.

Joey's aspiration is Friend of the World (still not sure about that, but I can't think of anything that works 🤷‍♀️), and his traits are Active, Glutton, Hot-Headed, Loyal and Outgoing.

Serenity's aspiration is Discover Life (at least until I settle on something else), and her traits are Gentle (by Lazurite, adopted by Chingyu), Loves Outdoors, Music Lover and Cheerful.

Fun fact: While I was playtesting the cornflakes, Wonderful Whims told me that Serenity found Téa extremely attractive. I haven't set anyone's preferences yet, so I guess my game's a Sideshipper! 😂

Téa's aspiration is World-Famous Celebrity, and her traits are Outgoing, Hot-Headed, Dance Machine and Ambitious.

Tristan's aspiration is Soulmate, and his traits are Dog Lover, Active, Loyal and Romantic.

We still need a dance career. 😔

Ryo's aspiration is either Bestselling Author or Paranormal Investigator (from Lifetime Aspirations Reworked - I like both for him), and his traits are Gentle, Geek, Glutton and Creative.

TKB's aspiration is Discover Life, and his traits are Glutton, Kleptomaniac, Geek and Can't Stand Cold (by NateTheL0ser). (Yep, I kind of struggled, ^^;. He's not exactly evil anymore at this point, so I wasn't sure what else to give him.)

Having them live together should be fun, especially with Tristan thrown in... (I've had Thoughts about this. Not all of them will work in-game, but still.)

Oh, and I took some inspiration from this piece of art for TKB's face!

Miho's aspiration is Soulmate, and her traits are Bookworm, Cheerful, Materialistic and Romantic.

Duke's aspiration is Computer Whiz, and his traits are Genius, Geek, Romantic and Outgoing.

These cornflakes just kept rolling wants to talk to each other during playtesting, and these probably weren't even the same Sims from the original save! I'm pretty sure I remade them from scratch! It's like the game itself ships them! VANITYSHIPPERS, UNITE! (All... maybe three of us! 😂)

Next up are the Kaibas (including Roland) and the Ishtars, and then some characters I haven't posted before! 👀

tell me who left an impression!!

[unfriendlyamazon]

i remembered recently i fucking love video games and this is a fandom about a bunch of gaymers so anyway here's everyone's favorite type of games

yugi point and click adventure buff loooooves a puzzle plays a lot of smaller titles loves cozy games too he relaxes by playing a little to the left

joey rpg lover dark souls main probably does a lot of roguelikes too thanks to the random chance nature of them he loves a challenge oh also has modeled his life on link from legend of zelda

tristan not as big a gamer as his friends but i always give him old school snes games he looks like donkey kong he acts like donkey kong donkey kong country is his favorite video game

anzu not a gamer but she likes things that are cute and short plays any game where you unlock outfits also QUEEN of rhythm games canonically great at DDR brings just dance to every party

duke resource management and complex game they looooove a sim city or a cities skylines had mall tycoon like the boring kid i was instead of rollercoaster tycoon

seto anything that requires lightning quick reflexes and no thinking but i also think he's into video games for the story so he plays a lot of games that make him feel something can't imagine that man finishing journey without crying

ryou survival horror expert loves the classics silent hill the clocktower series you name it actually has played pathologic all the way through with the bonus endings he's a monster

mokuba minecraft master, can and will build anything you dream

marik discovers sims, immediately removes the ladders and drowns everyone in a pool

[resuri-art]

For my visual novel project I'm starting with something really small to test it out. It will be a very short original wlw story.

I have to admit Ren Py is a bit intimidating since it's all coding, but I'll give it a try! If it's too much for me, my 2nd option is tyranobuilder.

[nyupuun]

I keep thinking about cardboard and how much I love it. The other day I pulled Sirocco the Dawn and its like. Not a card you run in an actual Blackwing deck but just me owning it made me happy. Also thinkign about building out my crystal beasts has me. Kicking my feet in joy.

[shinayashipper]

If I could make/program a game I will make a All x Yugi dating sim with Route Atem, Kaiba, Jou, Anzu, and Secret Route (thats unlocked when you got all routes Good Ending) is Bakura 😂😂

The "Main Route" (the one thats said to be the True One) is probably Atem and he's the hardest one. Jou and Anzu are considered the "Casual" routes (they are Fun and their "Bad Endings" don't necessarily made drastic changes, probably just Failed to Romance, but still good friends). I want Kaiba to be the Love Interest where he's gonna Fall for MC either way, no matter which routes you chose.

Atem's Good Ending is a tear-jerker and his Bad Ending probably will be either he Dies or Yugi Dies😂 something Drastic like that

[soomindom]

Starting my first ever Yu-gi-oh fanfiction! I finally just decided to start writing and outline when I have time. I missed writing fanfiction. It's so much fun.

A summary preview!

Game START

Summary: Where his Other Self is efficient and tactical, Yugi is kind and empathetic. They complement each other: providing what the other lacks. However, it’s sometimes hard to see that when his Other Self seems so much more than what Yugi gives. However, it’s not Yugi’s fault that his life and death scenarios revolve around Duel Monsters. Given another life, Yugi will see that life requires more than a cool head and logical thinking.

[kujakumai]

In early YGO there's a tendency for a lot of characters, but especially villains and antagonists, to be associated with their own unique game niche (Yami Bakura and tabletop roleplaying, Otogi and dice in general, Kaiba as the ur Magic The Gathering Snob, Bandit Keith's slots theming, Mai's backstory as a croupier, even Anzu as DDR queen) but as time went on and we were siloed more strictly into a single card game forever this sort of fell to the wayside. I really like the idea of assigning characters gameplay formats though. This post is an excuse to share my personal belief that Marik Ishtar is a diehard grand strategy management sim spreadsheet warrior

Kira's Sim Yu-Niverse: Kaibas and Ishtars

Previous: Nerd Herd | Next: Duelists

Happy Sim Saturday, cornflakes! :D This time I've actually scheduled the post for the right time, XD.

Seto's aspiration is Hardcore Gamer (by Ilkavelle), and his traits are Genius, Geek, Perfectionist, Competitive and Arrogant (both by Kuttoe).

Mokuba's aspiration is Leader of the Pack, and his traits are Insider, Genius, Loyal and Good.

Roland's aspiration is Super Parent, and his traits are Calm (by Kuttoe), Proper, Serious (by Chingyu), Loyal and Family-Oriented.

Marik's aspiration is Living Life on a Whim (from Lifetime Aspirations), and his traits are Genius, Adventurous, Loves Outdoors and Noncommittal.

Ishizu's aspiration is Successful Lineage, and her traits are Good, Calm, Genius, Family-Oriented and Bookworm (just a HC).

Rishid's aspiration is Big Happy Family, and his traits are Stoic, Loyal, Family-Oriented and... that's it, ^^;. Maybe now that his life doesn't have to revolve around Marik anymore (and I have Growing Together), he'll pick up some more!

All these cornflakes except Marik and Ishizu are so tall I had to shrink them to take their headshots, XD (I firmly believe that Mokuba ends up taller than Seto).

Credit to @alyss-erulisse for the Ishtars' earrings and scars!

Next up: some Duelist Kingdom cornflakes!

[gearchronocle]

YUZU BETTER WIN especially in the beginning she was more of the main character than yuya honestly. the entire plot of arc v HINGES on her and if she wasn't there than arc v would be a completely different series. yuzu also has such a good character design and motif and this may be petty but her color scheme is just better than yuna sorry not sorry i'm right. she may not be the best WRITTEN yugioh girl but she is by far the best DESIGNED and that has to count for something. i love yuzu she's wonderful she's cute and girly while being able to hold her own as she should!!!!! yuzu is incredibly based and wonderful and deserves the world she is wonderful.

BEST YGO GIRL: Round 3, Group B

Match 1

please use this as an opportunity to say why you like a character, not why you don't.

Propaganda under the cut!

Yuzu Hiragi

The entire show would not work if the cast wasn't obsessed with her, and they're all right to stan her, literally gets Sora and Serena to defect from Academia with her sheer charisma, beat Masumi at their gay little rivalry, Yugo spends a few days with her and is ready to die for her, Yuya is simply just the loudest about adoring her And why not? She is so clever and determined, doing the most work out of anyone to figure out the myth plot. Actively trains to keep up with the rest of cast. Even when the universe is conspiring against her and trying to keep her down, she fucking headbutts Roger and tells him off or manifests to help save the world in the ultimate girlboss team-up that was the Arc V finale. Truly any dimension without her is worth upending. - The mysterious magical bracelet that isekai's her to different worlds, the Can-Do attitude, the cool poses (fusion summoning), the ADORABLE character design, AND she was 1/4 of a world-saving hero in the past?? If it weren't for the meddling writers, she would have been the main character - yuzu is everything. literally the plot of arc v hinges on the fact everyone who meets her become just as obsessed with her. and they are totally right to do so

Yuna Goha

Yuna is great. She's an absolute bully whenever she's in conflict with the other characters (so sorry to Sky), which honestly? fun. Amazing energy. and then she has gay energy with Rovian and Asaka. Yuna has a surprisingly dynamic character arc, going from just following Rovian around in between bullying people, to taking on the task of inventing a new card (which is very hard work in this universe), and maturing to being one of the town's leaders. She's clearly someone in the process of learning who she is and I've really enjoyed seeing her get to go on that journey. SHE HAS A BASICALLY CANON GIRLFRIEND PLEASE I AM BEGGING BECAUSE ROVIAN GOT ELIMINATED ALREADY

[shinkai14]

My ygo oc Scarlett in the sims

[unfriendlyamazon]

developing yugi and yami's drag style at the same time because i want them to be a double act like sugar and spice... still don't have names for them but i did have a little bit of a break through just playing around with the new cc i downloaded and i think i'm starting to get somewhere

[wisyhana]

HI WISY I MEANT TO CLICK ON THE "ID LOVE TO HELP" OPTION IN THE YGO DATING SIM POLL THING BUT I CLICKED ON THE PLAYER ONE BY MISTAKE

BUT I ALSO GOTTA SAY AS BOTH AN OTOME AND YGO ENJOYER THIS LITERALLY SOUNDS LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE.....

Hahahaha thank you! I'll take this opportunity to mention that with the people of patreon we're already starting something.

So for now all I can say is that any type of help is well received! Artists, composers, game designers, even cheerleaders hahaha.

All of this is made to fulfill a dream probably all of us had once, but never knew how to start it. So let's support each other and try to make something beautiful out of this.

[chase-omega]

There's a reason why my YGO videos on my YouTube Channel have me using fanmade sims like YGO Omega, YGO Dueling Nexus, and YGO EDO PRO, and not using OFFICIAL clients like YGO Master Duel.

It's because Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel kinda sucks.

Master Duel is so behind on adding in new cards that already exist in real life… That's probably why fanmade sims like YGO Omega, YGO EDO PRO, and Dueling Book are so much more popular… My Fire Kings deck in Master Duel looks like a poor man's dollar store version compared to my IRL version of the deck since they just refuse to add in the modern support cards already. Even the fucking Duel Cafe world on VR Chat is more up to date on the card library than Master Duel is…

I'm fine with Master Duel having a different banlist and missing a few cards. I'm fine with having to spend real money to get certain cards. I'm fine with having to grind for materials to craft cards. Really. I am. But there's some decks in the game that are missing several key cards that the deck really needs to actually function.

My poor Fire Kings deck in Master Duel looks like a poor man's dollar store version of my IRL version of the same deck, because Konami won't just add the newer support cards that already exist into the game. So what am I forced to rely on? 3 copies of Maxx "C". A card everyone hates, and I'm practically forced to use it.

Where's Eternity? Where's Sky Burn? Where's Ponix? Where's Rangbali? Where's High Kirin? Where's this? Where's that? Where's anything to make the decks I like to use actually playable so I don't have to either run bullshit cards at 3 or dig up a cringe-ass anime girl deck?

Also the community is ass too, everyone always ragequits the game at like turn 2 or 3 when I'm either about to get a really good combo off, or when I take 0.000002 seconds too long to play my card because I'm trying to learn a new deck.

[borreloadsavagedragon]

alright tell all of us your thoughts about kaito :)

I did not forget… I have just been con crunching but now I’m free to become the worse

Minor Zexal and Arc V spoiling ahoy

How I feel about this character:

Oh no you’ve opened a floodgate… welcome to oversharing hour with Jay

I’m very normal about Kaito, just ignore the two full cosplays + the EVA foam Orbital work in progress I have mapped out, the wall scroll that’s at my work computer, my ita pin bag, and the fact that I’ve done everything I can to make his deck competitive viable and god dammit am I still trying please print this deck a god damn banger starter, Konami, I can’t keep doing this without your help-

Short story but I used to be suuuuper YGO Vrains favoring from 2020 into early 2022, but I found myself drifting from it because one can only tolerate so much subtweeting and catty behavior over personal preferences, and I’d never really finished Zexal before, just has a half baked idea how it ends, like I watched a chunk of it when it first aired but never finished and proceeded to forgot most of it, so I picked it back up after deciding to pick up Kaito to write in an RP server with some friends because I remembered liking him and… well I didn’t stand a chance when I got back to him fjdhdhd

I deeply relate to the theme of self-inflicted loneliness because it’s easier to be by yourself, just getting walked out on, left in the dark, or even being shafted for reasons out of my own control, I really get that

Also taking on too much if it means the people you love will be ok even if the ending result is you’re not ok, where he is after his Duel with Yuma at the end of Zexal I and getting to repair all of those relationships he was damaged by is where I want to get to in life

Bonus fact that’s minor spoilers for another spin off, but I’m… not a huge fan of his portrayal in Arc V, I like that he’s there and acknowledge that it’s a different Kaito and I love all Kaito Tenjos as they exist, including the Structures Cosplayer, but… yeah, not a fan, I’m a big fan of showing vs telling and Arc V to me feels like it’s ALL telling for all of its supporting cast most of the time

All the people I ship romantically

The better question is who I don’t honestly because that list is far smaller, but if I had to pick favorites I’m very partial to Ryouga, Mizael, and Edo-

Something about rivals to lovers resonates with my very being, even if Edo is less of a rival and more of an enemy until Arc V does it’s usual-

I’ve written for Challenge and AntiHero both already actually, my docs is 99% Challenge Wips that are slowly coming along tbh, and GalaxyMaster takes more time to write since most of those are… you know what I’m getting at LOL

I stg Gallop's one mission was to make Kaito Tenjo a dating sim protagonist because I have no other excuse for why they gave him so many boyfriends and even girlfriends across Zexal and Arc V, Yugioh’s surprising most eligible bachelor

My non-romantic OTP

nervous laughter

Chris.

I like to think of them more as divorcees who are just fine staying apart

Also gestures vaguely at the first answer

My unpopular opinion

I don’t know if I have many tbh, besides disliking Arc V’s rendition of him / not liking mentor at all lol— Like maybe how I genuinely believe he’s the strongest rival bc his record was the best even after he was put up against forces behind human understand and was even considered dying majority of the time of Zexal while remaining arguably mostly human, Zexal’s wack

One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon

Oh my god, the duel I hate the most in all of YGO is Kaito’s duel against Heartland because not letting Kaito win against someone who’s become representative of the garbage he was put through is SO UNSATISFYING

Yuma coming in and finishing it up is symbolic in its own right because of the importance of bonds, but to me that was and always should have been Kaito’s moment, let Yuma and Astral show up literally any other time and I’m fine with it

ALSO WE DON'T GET THE RYOUGA AND KAITO GRUDGE MATCH, though Kaito solos everytime, I’m so sorry Ryouga
