Messy, messy replies

I’ve got a lot of them, so let’s go!

eulaliasims said: Ha, I’m the primary gift wrapper too. If you put enough tape on something, no one will ever notice you tore the paper~ 😛 

Hah! That’s exactly my strategy! Unfortunately, this year, we had wrapping paper with very intricate designs, so trying to hide those “bald spots” became a real challenge.

moocha-muses said: When I have weddings outside I just lock all the main doors and set up a temp outdoor restroom. It’s the only way to make sure any guest actually sit down in time.

… that would work so much better than what I’ve been doing. During my weddings, half of the guests usually miss the ceremony because they’re queuing for the toilet…

moocha-muses said: In English it’s a “tuxedo with tails”. They make a dashing couple!

Ahhh! Thanks to you and the anon, I now know what it’s called at least in English. Let’s hope that if I’m ever invited to a black-tie event, it won’t be held in my mother tongue. XD And they do. They’re an odd couple, that’s for sure, but also a dashing one.

littleblondesim said: Jan is just the cutest

She is. She’s quickly become a favourite of mine. Makes adorable faces, too.

littleblondesim said: whaaaaaat

moocha-muses said: Wow, that “proposal” refusal must have really gotten to him.

I was shocked. Not mad, but shocked.

didilysims said: It was a hot day. She appreciates the shade.

XD Probably.

And oh boy, are there many…

Nocturnal college professors

audreysims14 said: I’ve also found my professors are either quite good at getting back in a timely manner, or even within the hour, or they take days. There is no in between

Yeah, college professors are a weird species… like, I am the college student. I’m supposed to be up until the wee hours of the morning. You are a functioning adult being, why do you email me at 3 in the morning?

Orlando being a little brat

didilysims said: He’s on the prowl for newspapers, of course!

The orphanage must have terrible security, though!

Bye bye, dogs!

didilysims said: Oh no!

I was so shocked when that happened. Thankfully, pet adoption requirements are pretty lax…

When Brandon met Kaylynn

moocha-muses said: You need to push harder for the Joe/Komei reconciliation, Brandon! How else are you going to get him out of your place?

But he also likes to keep out of other people’s businesses. And if it gets unbearable, no one would judge him if he’d throw Brandon out.

Brandon and Sandy contemplating marriage

littleblondesim said: elopement?

Not really an option in this small town. The neighbours are really noisy, I heard. XD

holleyberry said: I don’t think they will roll an engagement want with the married there. Have you tried having them go on a date?

holleyberry said: Oh, nevermind 😛

Yeah, I don’t really feel like “unlocking” their wedding wants at this point. Who knows if they’ll ever roll one again, and at this point, them wanting to marry is basically “canon”.

Joe’s and Kaylyn’s… weird date

stellaterrano said: Don’t you hate it when you want a ring but your man just wants to buy a car and a stereo 😂

Typical Fortune-Family dating incompatibility… or really Fortune-any other Sims (why are they so obsessed with buying things on dates?)

Rude sleepover guests

eulaliasims said: I don’t know of one that does it autonomously, though I sure would like one too. Maybe you can use Dolphin’s Control This Sim hack to do it manually?

Hm, never tried that one out. Not sure if the effort is worth the result, though. *sigh* A mod like this would be awesome!

Pao

holleyberry said: You deserve it Joe.

If only Joe cared about it. No, that is my internal dialogue everytime I see him. I like him, I really do, but if he could stop barging into stranger’s houses, that would be great.

Apologizing

holleyberry said: I hate people who say sorry but don’t say what they are sorry for. That’s important, imo. Even if they both know what he’s sorry for him actually saying it holds more weight.

Baby steps… Joe’s learning. (Also, psssht! That might be a ‘plot point’ in the future…)

Sorry for the delay, guys, I got addicted to Animal Crossing again, and then I got a cold thanks to my cousins’ grandmother, who insisted on doing all the kitchen work while sick. Anyway…

Swan’s fateful date

davidmont said: Rude™

Well, not everyone is into smooches on their first date ever. XD

Decorating woes

davidmont said: LOL

Seriously, for having such a limited “inventory” in contrast to Sims, I’m soo much better at decorating in Happy Home Designer. Don’t know why. Maybe IT IS because of the limited items…

The train set

eulaliasims said: I never noticed how much detail the train set has! The houses on it are really cute. 😮

It is! I’ve always had a soft spot for it (if only it wouldn’t take up so much damn space…)

littleblondesim said: I adore this map, too! I also once had a thought of recreating it. I’d love to see a take on it. 🙂

*sigh* If only I was good at creating terrains in SimCity 4…

katatty-main said: i never thought about recreating this map! it’s super cute.

It’s adorable, isn’t it. The amount of detail in this…

Shuffle Meme

 Thanks for the tag, thesimtraveler.

1. Away in a Manger– Bing Crosby

Look who forgot to remove their Christmas playlist from their IPod…

2. Primadonna– Marina and The Diamonds

I’m actually more of a song rather than artist type of girl. Not with Marina and The Diamonds. Heard “I am not a robot” on our local radio station eight years ago and have been a fan ever since.

3. The Outsider– Marina and The Diamonds

See? (Also, she’s weirdly well-known in my country.)

4. Basket Case– Green Day

When I was still an ‘emo/goth/whatever kid’, my friends introduced me to Green Day. Lost the style, kept my taste in music (and the friends).

5. Der Teufel– Schandmaul

Yeah, good luck trying to decipher what’s going on here… I really like a lot of genres as long as I long as the song ‘captures’ my attention, I don’t care whether it’s Pop, “Deutschrock” or Bluegrass.

6. Fairytale- Alexander Rybak

European people love their Eurovision Song Contest *shrug*

7. Tune it Up #1– RENT

More rhythmic talking than singing, but hey. Since I studied Theatre Studies with emphasis on Musical Theatre for two years, my Musical/Opera playlist is pretty extensive. RENT is one of my favourite musicals for many reasons. Too many to list.

8. Santa Barbara Skies– Psych- The Musical

I’m a Psych-O.

9. Vincent – Don McLean

I originally downloaded it for my mother to be able to listen to it on long car journeys (back in… 2011?) but since have grown incredibly fond of his music. I don’t know what it is, but it really speaks to me.

10. Tanz der Vampire( Finale)– Tanz der Vampire (Dance of the Vampires)

Ha! Way to go out with a bang! Another one of my favourite musicals and the German version is actually the original one, so you can actually listen to it without cringing (ask me about the German translation of RENT, I dare you. Wrote an essay about that one once).

Also, it’s funny how your opinion of it depends on whether you watched the American Version of it (the ‘improved’ Broadway version- one of the most expensive flops of all time, and rightfully so *shudders*) or the European one.

I tag @audreysims@squeezleprime , @cindysimblr and @littleblondesim , simply because they are the last 4 people that liked some of my posts and I’m lazy like that. Don’t feel pressured to, though.

I am so ridiculously bad at keeping Sims alive at times… The saddest thing about the Kaylynn thing was that she was pregnant. Thank god Daniel was there to save her.

Attack of the gardeners

Yeah… I think I found a nice resolution for the problem. >:)

Evil Stepsister

They’re beginning to warm up to each other. (Funny thing: Parker is actually the meanest of the bunch- she inherited Brittany’s nice points. Misaki has five, I think and Haruka a full 10.)

Wonky Ethan

emphatic-fangirl said: wow, he really got a his looks from his father, didn’t he?

Yeah. Although I think part of his chin line is from Jane, because I’m pretty sure Kevin’s not as wonky. Either way, time for Ethan to grow a beard! XD

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!

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!

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?!

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!

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

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!)

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

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