I suck at Replies…

(Christmas break was extremly busy, sorry)

Cuddles meets Famine:

cindysimblr said: Meow! Great picture 😀

That’s the one picture of them I took that wasn’t them fighting. They do not get along at all.

Ripp-Ophelia-Johnny Love triangle:

strangetomato said: ❤

holleyberry said: Ripp yes!

strangetomato said: Aww. 😦

We’ll see what happens.

Dinner-for-one reblog (beating a dead horse):

didilysims said: I was thinking of this while setting the table for New Year’s. 🙂

XD. Ever watched it (it’s probably on Youtube)? When my grandparents were still alive, my grandfather often imitated James. He was nearly blind, so a few times it was not quite voluntary. ^^

Me debating whether to start a BACC:

katatty-main said: im always attempting to start baccs, too! i never even finish building the starter houses, haha

mooseabides said: Story of my life! Haha.

eulaliasims said: A succinct summary of every bacc I’ve tried to start too.

I feel you. BACCs are hard, especially since I have the attention span of a goldfish, zero patience and have difficulties connecting with self-made Sims… Gets even worse because I had to read so many Victorian novels for college that I kind of want to play a Victorian/ old timey BACC… Yeah, that ain’t happening…

Non-Sims text post about I’m a celebrity – get me out of here:

asimminggibbon said: Big in Ireland!

Good to know! My parents watch it religiously and since it started yesterday, it’s dominating the news. Wondered if this was just something German people inexplicitly love.

Someone was concerned about my WTF post, but I’ve since deleted it. I actually answered it via reply, but I’m not sure if it reached you. Nothing bad happened, just watched the new Sherlock episode (I’m studying English, that’s kinda mandatory XD) and felt the need to express myself.

didilysims said: Aww, cutie. 🙂

She is cute, isn’t she?

holleyberry said: Oh! Since I read backwards i see potential juicy drama!

There is so much drama in that hood, I love it!

holleyberry said: That’s just sexual tension.

Right now, she is pretty mad at the whole Curious clan except for Pascal (whom she doesn’t have any chemistry with). She fought with the girls back when she was in the welcome waggon and every time she talks to Vidcund, they end up arguing… We’ll see how this turns out.

littleblondesim said: she’s so cute!

littleblondesim said: wait, does she have eyebrows?

Oh, she does! They are just a rather dirty blonde (I’m using Poppet’s V2 hair and eyebrows), so they aren’t very visible on the tan skin tone. If you zoom in and look very closely, you can see them in the first picture.

Replies “Erin, no”

holleyberry said: yeah, thats going to go over great with Chloe.

Eh, they aren’t the best of friends to start with. I’m kind of curious if Chloe will show any sort of reaction to this if she finds out.

sims2simmies said: One of my faves of Sims 2. So romantic. =3

The Sim or the animation? Either way, I agree with you. There’s something about Erin that I like (maybe the “sister of mad scientist is a bit of a ditzy blonde and wannabe psychic”?) and I didn’t remember how much I loved the animations.

littleblondesim said: oh dear, erin, honey, no

littleblondesim said: oh erin

Hey, the heart want what it wants! Atleast I hope it is a “the heart wants what it wants” situation and not a “let’s piss off my roommate” one.

littleblondesim said: This household is gonna be a hot mess.

And I can’t wait to play it again!

(And if you feel like screaming at the screen in this one, there has arisen an interesting situation in another one. That’s where I started screaming…)

Replies

I don’t know what happened, but when I came back from grocery shopping, the modem worked again! (We suspect that the company that powers our internet connection accidentally shut us off again. Happened before.) So Replies a day earlier, yaay!

holleyberry said: Does it need a battery?

No, that’s the weird thing. I don’t know how it powers itself, but I’m glad it works again.

nestadaughter said: Well, whatever he’s doing, he’d better not take any advice from Vidcund.

I think Vidcund is busy…moving somewhat rhythmically in front of the stereo.

didilysims said: You’ve got the needed mods–I’m sure your game will be fine.

Yeah, I think it will be fine. And if not, what am I going to do about it? *shrug*

holleyberry said: Look! You added a door.

I mean, if you keep a Sim imprisoned in your lab, you should at least make an effort not to let him escape…

didilysims said: That gym looks really great!

I’m glad it turned out! the way it did I really wanted to keep the pool but wasn’t sure how. And then I just… tried some variations and this one stuck.

holleyberry said: I have them greet passersbys and lure them into the dungeon to experiment on them. Maybe that will spice things up.

Uh, that sounds interesting. Unfortunately, there aren’t many passersbys (I’m using the cleaned up version where only Crystal and Circe’s friends remain. I might let her abduct her barkeeper friend. Or maybe one of the college sims will sign up for a “job”?

(Sorry for my lacklustre English today. Finished my English term paper yesterday and am quite exhausted language wise.)

@holleyberry: I’m pretty sure it’s gone for good (the modem is dead, as you can see. No little green power light). Might have something to do with how it was installed (its hanging out of the wall and is only kept up by two cookie boxes), its age (it’s over 10 years old) or the fact that it is covered in dust (maybe it short-circuited?).

I will answer the other replies I got over the past few days the day after tomorrow when I’m at our vacation home in England. A queue is up and running and will supply you all with pictures for another week.

Sorry, it took me a while to read through your comments. I’m busy with my term paper (English studies, writing about Gatsby because he’s really big in Germany) right now, but almost finished. Yay!

(Regarding my post about how I want to play LFT)

holleyberry said: You could also combine/break up houses to keep things interesting.

Uhh, that might be a good idea. Spice things up… Yeah, I can see myself doing that. Thanks!

(The Single’s part including General Buzz Grunt where Chloe did NOTHING)

holleyberry said: Get up and do some damage Chloe.

She was a bit too civil. How can you have a feud with someone when you don’t fight each other every time you see them?!

(Crystal hitting Olive)

holleyberry said: That’s dangerous Crystal.

strangetomato said: Crystal’s got a lotta nerve. I wouldn’t mess with Olive.

She has ovaries of steel, that’s for sure!

(Me taking too many pictures)

littleblondesim said: psh, no such thing as too many sims pictures

Ha! I only posted like ¾ of the pictures I took of the Singles round…

(Chloe-Erin-Abhijeet-maybe-love-triangle)

littleblondesim said: oh dear

Just you wait… Just you wait…

(Ripp discussing love at the Smith dinnertable)

nestadaughter said: He’s giving some valuable advice, for sure.

Maybe he’s taking advice? He is approaching college age and is still unkissed… 7/9 listening to him have way more experience (even Vidcund, “Übernerd” has been kissed!)

(Ophelia and Lola dancing next to Jenny and PT preparing to wohoo)

holleyberry said: They obviously don’t mind an audience.

I… I have no words for this (that won’t attract a porn-blog)

(Ajay rolls a lifetime want to become Head of the SCIA)

didilysims said: Perfect!

It was just too good to be true! Love this!

(Ajay deeming Chloe too boring)

holleyberry said: Chloe? Boring?!

It’s Ajay! I think his choices of conversation and hers differ greatly.

Thanks for your comments, guys! I really appreciate it!

…about poke-happy sims.

syreni-sims said: All I can think about when I see the “Poke” interaction is the female voice that goes: “… BUTTER DUT!” … or something of the sort.

XD. Angry simlish is the funniest simlish.

holleyberry said: Chloe vs. Olive. That always happens in my game too. Sometimes it’s Chloe flicking Olive.

They both like to poke sims, so a poking/flicking match is almost inevitable. 

Thank you for your feedback, holleyberry and katatty-main! I decided to add La Fiesta Tech to Strangetown. Unfortunately, I’m not a big fan of the “Turn-college-premades-into-dormies” method (I like their ‘stories’ way too much and would hate to break their households up). But I decided to add them to my rotation one after another. I will probably start with the fraternity and sorority and add other households as I feel like it (so I won’t have 10 new families after the first batch of Strangetown sims finish college). The bin sims will make excellent roommates for my premades.

strangetomato answered: Turn ons are randomly generated every game for the basegame premades, so those can’t really be taken into account. My thoughts on the bad relationship score was that Buzz doesn’t get along with anyone, but all of your questions there are good ones.

Oh, I know that. ^^ I was just trying to emphasise that they have great “natural” chemistry. Yeah, he doesn’t like anyone. He’s probably not too happy to be stuck in this weird small town with -gasp- ALIENS!

holleyberry said: Sneak out only shows after 10 pm.

Oh, I must have confused that with the “Go out” interaction. Thank you!
