Managed to drag myself out of my bed, so have some replies (sorry if I miss some).

Cyd Roseland, ladies and gentlemen

lilibethsonar said: Lol oh no! 😂

holleyberry said: D:

didilysims said: Classic Cyd.

Classic Cyd indeed. That guy is… I love him.

Dustin gets fired

holleyberry said: It’s for the best, Dustin.

Yup.

Old neighbourhood

alienpod said: *__*

didilysims said: That’s cool! I love finding old stuff like that. I’m impressed at how many houses you managed to fit so close together. It looks like a thriving neighbourhood! Though the lack of plumbbobs is conspicuous… 😛

That’s just my mod, though! I would guess that about 2/3 of the residential houses are inhabited. And it was a thriving neighbourhood. I played it a lot!

Don getting cold feet

holleyberry said: Damn it, Don. 

But isn’t that how we know and love him? (Kidding.)

Sad Cass

primaverasims said: oh Cass 😥

Confession: I’m a mean Simmer and locked her fear. But seeing how hard she took it almost broke my heart.

PSA

meetmetotheriver said: Hope you feel better soon!

twofee said: ouch! heal well and feel better!

Thank you for your well-wishes. Somehow managed to catch a nasty cold on top of it, but I’m slowly getting there.

Brandi and Darren

randozaz said: I liked the images of them both are loving.

They are an adorable couple! Three-bolters, even.

Grandma’s comfort soup

meetmetotheriver said: Yep.

Ah! The pop-up you get when your Sim eats a soup confused me a bit. Thanks for clearing it up!

Daniel gets caught

randozaz said: Daniel is all Casanova ok no

Funny thing: he’s a very conflicted Sim in my game. He loves his wife (and continuously rolls wants about her), but also rolls “typical” Romance Sim wants.

Family life

randozaz said: Hey in my game, Lilith plays the guitar.

Hah! Now we only have to find a Lilith that plays the drums and we have a band!

Jewellery

drewinthesky said: I can’t find anywhere, but I’ll try to do something on my own 🙂

drewinthesky said: Nevermind, I just found out there’s no jewerly bin in bodyshop 😦

Yeah, that would’ve been my next question, if someone ever enabled it for bodyshop and the mirror in-game. Thanks for trying to look into it!

I figured that the jewellery feature was a bit… complicated (broken?). 

primaverasims said: I think you can enable them for teens through simPE by changing the age string. It’s really stupid that EA did this :/

Hm, I’ll have to look into it. I can’t actually do much in SimPE, but this I might be able to do.

DON!

didilysims said: Ha ha.

This wedding was such a trainwreck… We’ll see whether I’ll share it on this Tumblr (I played it on my bf’s PC since my own PC is still acting up and I don’t have a lot of time to prepare posts when I’m at his place).

Ra-Ra-Rasputin

didilysims said: This is the cartoon movie? He was a fairly standard over-the-top cartoon villain, so not really, but kind of? Depressed and violent I think match the English version. Not sure about the hippie…but it’s been many years since I’ve seen it. 😛

Yeah, he (and his animator’s- holy plumbbob, the dude has two spines!) has some issues. They did a weird thing with the synchronisation where they have him talk with weird voice cracks which, coupled with the over the topness of the animation, makes him seem more than a little off (they also did a bunch of things with his villain song (as discussed in an earlier reply). He’s also voiced by the guy that voices Sebastian in the Little Mermaid, which doesn’t help his case (nothing against the voice actor, he’s great, but once I figured it out, I could not take the character seriously, especially since both characters sounded very similar when singing).

Jan-Sophie-Kennedy

holleyberry said: *gets popcorn*

This is bound to end in a catastrophy.

historicalsimslife said: I always found him more gross than outright scary. The real Rasputin on the other hand was definitely frightening as well.

Yeah, he is definitely gross, but then again, he is a decaying corpse. I actually figured out what put me off the synchronisation: he is voiced by the guy who voices Sebastian the crab (?) in the German version of the Little Mermaid. Which makes “In the Dark of the Night” unintentionally funny (they also changed the background music, which by all means make it sound like a depressed hippie singing with beetles). I knew I knew the voice actor!

holleyberry said: Haha! I know the feeling Kaylynn.

I’m a pretty decent cook and even I burn pancakes. A lot.

girzish said: Relatable.

High expectations for Pleasantview…

didilysims said: Yay Sophie!

Yep, she is now a fully playable character! Whoooo!

It got so cold overnight that my PC made a lot of worrying noises this morning while trying to warm itself up. It’s only September, chill!

strangetomato said: She said it first, so I think she more than deserved it.

*shrugs* I just don’t care about people trying to talk me down to make themselves feel better (let’s be serious, that was 100% a power move) anymore. I think I stopped giving a fuck about what people I don’t care about think of me 10 years ago- which was good because I was known all over the place in high school.

holleyberry said: *sniff* It’s so sad the founders are all aging into elders 😦

God, yes. I tried to get them all to age up while in platinum so that they’ll be around for a long time, but still. Seeing them all grey and hunched over…

Belladonna Cove

didilysims said: I think the total is something like 52 or 53…crazy! And yet, it’s a city so it needs MORE!! Steal away on the makeovers if you like ‘em. 🙂 I stole a lot of ideas from other people anyway. I’m looking forward to seeing what you have planned for this ‘hood!

That’s… that’s a lot. Thanks, I definitely will. It’s just… a lot to makeover. Oh, I don’t quite know what I’ll do with it yet. I could imagine playing it regularly, but I could also see myself making up little “slice of life” stories with it (the second option would allow me to keep my attention on my other stuff…hm).

The college kids

holleyberry said: Brittany and Banjamin are going to make cute, redheaded little babies.

holleyberry said: Andrew, not Banjamin.

holleyberry said: Whose name i keep spelling wrong.

Hey, remember that I kept spelling Brandon wrong when I first started Middleground? There’s something about those “B” names…

Yeah, there are going to be a lot of redheads next generation. Brittany and Andrew’s future kids are obvious, but all of the Spitzig kids and Rufus Hogan also have recessive genes for red hair, Abigail either has a recessive for red or blonde, and Chandler is a natural redhead as well.

Yeah, Andrew has the most cohesive mix of his parents’ genes, I think. Benjamin can look a bit wonky. Andrew also looks similar to Brittany, so I’m very curious how their children will look like.

(Now I’m curious whether it would be possible for Andrew and Brittany to have a blonde kid)

Joe and Komei grow up

holleyberry said: They’ve come a long way.

Hell yeah. I’m curious what their elder years will hold in store for them.

Party time

holleyberry said: That’s when you teleport them to the lot.

Totally could have. But I thought it was kind of funny. And I’m a bit insecure about how much my new graphics card can handle. It is a gaming card, but it’s ancient. Not sure how it’ll handle all the new custom content like HQ grass and light up hood deco.

Remington’s makeover

kaylynn-langerak said: So classy! I really like your version of him!

He just struck me as fashionable hipster when I first saw him. So there you go.

My college professor gave me two very important historical persons to compare because they both attended a very important historical event. I just found out that one of those very important historical persons was born 150 years after the very important historical event. Deadline is in three days, so let’s procrastinate until I figure out what to do.

Movie tag

holleyberry said: omg, I love What we do in the Shadows.

It’s so amazing! And it is set in Wellington, which is probably my favourite town on this planet!

moocha-muses said: MIB and Big Hero 6 could both be on my list, honestly

Right? They are just really great and hold a very special place in my heart.

That nameless Love thing

executables-sims said: Loving this already! 😀

Thanks! (Fair warning, though, as a Moonbeam trail challenge, it’s bound to get weird pretty quick…)

Trump term paper

taylors-simblr said: Good luck! Xx

Thanks!

simcatcher said: What you don’t is they’re probably collecting essays like those to give him some direction ;b it’s a trap 

Uh! Although I don’t think my very liberal, German professor works with the American government… although he did work with the Pentagon on one occasion (he’s kind of famous in my country). Hm…

Pregnant Pao and his relationship with Andrea

moocha-muses said: Don’t think you’ll get out of the whole “saddling me with parental responsibilities for two babies” thing that easily!

Oh, should Andrea ever find out what really happened there will be hell to pay!

Why is the Hogan’s house so small?

lilibethsonar said: Extra floor? 🙂

That would be an option. But I suck at building, so…

Chance cards

holleyberry said: Haha! That’s an awesome chance card. No one in this house needs to work anymore.

It is! One of the best chance cards in the whole franchise, especially since it’s such a nonsensical one.

Happy birthday, Middleground!

holleyberry said: Congrats! It’s a fun hood to follow.

It’s fun to play, too. Good for winding down after a long day.

Dormie love

holleyberry said: Cute!

They are sooo adorable! Pictures don’t do them justice.

Meadow gets the boot

Right? She was so much fun to watch!

Some new townies (Part 1 and Part 2)

holleyberry said: Kennedy!

holleyberry said: Goopy!

I kind of missed them! Nice to see some “familiar faces” running around the neighbourhood.

Messing up

holleyberry said: *psst* I think you mean Pao is the gross one…?

holleyberry said: This post didn’t get the Middleground tag.

Whoops! Thanks, I fixed it!

TWINS!

holleyberry said: 2!!!

Yep. This will be fun…

Jan’s house

littlemicrocosims said: i love her house!

Thank you, but I can’t take any credit for it. It came with the neighbourhood (Middleground by plasticbox).
