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.

Sarah Love comments

primaverasims said: yikes D:

Jennicor Tricou strikes me as exactly the type of person that blames the women her husband cheats on instead of her husband.

didilysims said: Well at least he’s calling back…

didilysims said: Well that party took an unexpected turn. o_o

primaverasims said: oh my God they’re swingers

Desiderata Valley is like my least favorite neighbourhood (mostly because I lack any kind of inspiration for it), so I knew I had to do something to spice things up. Well, guess what? “Desiderata Valley is a swinger community” is now my new headcanon.

241 Desmond Drive (Belladonna Cove)

girzish said: I used to move the DeBateaus into this house all the time.

How neat! I ended up moving the Baldwins there, they really fit the aesthetic.

eulaliasims said: wait, how have I never seen this lot before?! I might have to install Belladonna Cove to investigate, it looks pretty cool.

It the farthest lot up north in the Tech district, it’s pretty well hidden. Yes! It’s got a pool, very interesting (but useable) architecture, and the downstairs is absolutely not weatherproof. It’s a statement.

My PC’s back and runs Sims just fine. Yay! (And I finally have my beloved spell check back!)

Sims = Fan fic?

mdpthatsme said: About the premades, I would think so.

primaverasims said: I would think so if it’s the premades since you imagine them outside of canon. But if it’s 100% original characters in a custom neighborhood (or emptied neighborhoods) I would categorize it as original fiction

ejsims said: agree with everyone about the premades-technically, those stories are fanfic.

strangetomato said: I think it’s similar to fanfiction, but not the same. What we are given with the premades are hints and clues to story and some character details that can be interpreted in endless ways. It’s more of a template for storytelling than a fiction work to transform, as in fanfic.

Hm, interesting point of views…I would agree that original characters aren’t fanfiction. And yeah, technically posting about the premades is fan fiction- although canon is much broader and it is more of a template than a given story.

katzengirl said: Yep, stories about the premades is fanfiction. 🙂 There’s even a category for the Sims on fanfiction.net though not many people have posted there.

Really? Wow. That’s kinda weird. I suppose it’s just text, too?

New graphics card

simlishnoir said: Nvidia GTX 750 is a good card that worked with TS2 and is quite decent for other games (maybe not the latest ones) as well. I personally use a GTX 1060 (after upgrading from the one mentioned before) and TS2 works for that as well.

ethanmcgregor said: I have Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti and TS2 runs great with it.

Thank you for your suggestions! The game actually runs well with the graphics card I managed to lend (although it’s rather loud). I think I’ll look into the GTX 750, it sounds good and still cheap enough for a broke college student.
