Thank you!

Polly, the parrot

moocha-muses said: I think parrots can actually live to be nearly 100 years old.

Yeah, but Joe isn’t a big fan on Polly (she shows him clearly that she doesn’t like him). That and parrots in the Sims are very prone to starving. I’m amazed I was able to keep her alive that long…

didilysims said: Brittany’s so great. 😀

She is AMAZING. She is very sassy in-game and takes no bullshit from anyone.

Matthew’s nose

didilysims said: Definitely the weirdest premade nose. It’s like it got stuck on a clothesline.

It wouldn’t look so bad if the lower half of his nostrils were actually attached to his nose… he could be so handsome!

House facelift

didilysims said: Oh sure the house gets a facelift but the deadly diving board stays as it is. Your priorities are questionable, aonda! 😀

Hey, I didn’t build that! And where am I supposed to put the garden furniture if I expand the pool by one tile?! XD

(makes mental note to switch the pool ladder and diving board to put an end on this MADNESS!)

Thank you soo much!!!

Cursor mishaps

davidmont said: LMAO

Yup. It was especially funny since I tried to show my bf how to play the game (I may or may not have burned Gallagher Newson to death) and he was like: “Um… is that supposed to happen?”

Sandy and Andrea rekindling their old friendship

didilysims said: That’s sweet. 🙂

So frikkin’ cute!!!

Timmy ignoring the noises upstairs…

didilysims said: Oh Timmy. 🙂

He’s walked in on them a couple of times now… He knows better than to go looking for them.

Püppi/Pupsi the mannequin

didilysims said: Ha ha, that’s excellent!

She freaked me out, but since them, I’ve noticed that the game likes to use a recently “used” Sim to act as the clothing mannequin. It’s weird.

A college for Middleground

holleyberry said: Townie teens as dormies is an awesome idea!

Yeah, they’re awesome (and they feel much more familiar than the default dormies or newly generated ones). Too bad there are only 8 of them. Because Timothy has already fallen for one. I may have to extract the teen NPCs.

Middleground orphanage

holleyberry said: I love Orlando. Hes a cutie.I played him as a spouse once until he and my sim died of old age.

Aw, how sweet! My Orlando is more of a deeply troubled troublemaker right now, but I’m curious how he’ll evolve.

Honestly, not sure how the good gene contest at garden of shadows selects its genetic donors, but have you considered offering up eight and six (the sim created by your cousins with the non-existent face)? She would certainly be a challenge!

Sorry, you two, I don’t have that Sim anymore, but as far as I’m concerned (I didn’t watch them that closely), they just pushed all the possible sliders to the far left. I can try to “recreate” her (e.g. figure out which face template they started with and push all the sliders to the left), but really, creating a sim that looks like that is not rocket science.

Probably will with how excited everyone got over “Pupsi”.

I’m an idiot (sandwich)

Thank you @lauratje86 and @taylors-simblr for your awesome suggestions regarding my college ‘problem’. Turns out, I may have delivered the solution to my problem myself.

Turns out, Sim State University is actually part of “my canon” (as Jan claims SSU belongs to the Middleground District here) so… yeah. I’ll probably plop Kattaty’s empty SSU into my game.

Although I may build an in-hood college once Jan turned Middleground into a bustling metropolis (thanks for the suggestion, @taylors-simblr . We don’t really have campus unis here in Germany, too. I’m actually studying at one of the very few we have). It’s just too tempting.

About Joe and Komei

moocha-muses said: Komei, there’s *got* to be other cute guys in this town.

There aren’t. There are 12 adult Sims in this neighbourhood and he’s the only gay male. Joe’s the only bisexual male. Half of the females are bi, somehow.

eulaliasims said: Watching sims make bad life choices is one of the most entertaining parts of the game, tbh.

It is. I’m kinda excited about what will happen, but if Joe fucks up once more, I might throw him into the ocean…

holleyberry said: >:{

holleyberry said: Ugh!

Kinda same, tbh. On the other hand, very excited for drama.

Bitville replies

mooseabides said: Haha! The Bitville architecture is… interesting, but I’ve become fond of the style 🙂

It’s not… bad, it’s just very repetitive and base-gamey. Just think of what they could have done with all expansion packs!

didilysims said: It’s so modern! So hip! Look at all the cool things you can do with roofs, Sims fans!!!

THE ROOFS!!! (I actually kept most of them, just made them a little less…steep.)

(I’m not sure whether I’ll actually play the neighbourhood- and if, whether I’ll post about it- but remodelling it has been really nice while I was busy.)

katatty-main said: as far as i know, nodormieregen will only stop random generations,it doesnt supress them altogether so dormies will still appear if dorm rooms need filling, kinda like hiw NPCs generate when needed. to stop dormies altogether ud need a different mod 😦

Ah, yeah, I guess that’s it. Although I could have sworn that I had empty dorm rooms before…

annegirl13 said: I have a student who informed me the other day that he was a bird. He proceeded to chirp and squawk at me for about 10 minutes. It was cute. 🙂

How cute! That girl also informed me that I was her mom now. Even have a little goodbye letter signed with “Best of luck to you, Mom Miss S.” Kind of cute, kind of concerning. I loved it there.

Dormies

meetmetotheriver said: Do you have the nosecretsociety whatever mod too?

I don’t think so. Regardless, even without it, dormies have never spawned in my neighbourhoods (but I’ll try it, maybe the no dormies whatsoever was actually a bug XD).

katatty-main said: are they sprawning to fill empty dorms or spawning randomly?

Empty dorms (your Casteroff dormitory, actually). Moved four students in, four were randomly generated.

Belladonna

didilysims said: The nice thing is that with the different districts it’s easy to pick a theme (colours & styles, etc.) for each area. Once you’ve figured that out, it’s just a matter of copy, paste, and reworking to make it fit the particular lot! Although sometimes the weird floor plans can be a challenge…

Yeah, but the apartment lots are just sooo much work (I do, however, really love the industrial area- so nice!).

Family stuff

hunnybunnysims said: I feel this. My father sustained a disabling injury so I’m his primary carer. It’s hard when it’s a parent who suddenly becomes a dependent. Best wishes and hugs!

Family caretakers unite! No, but seriously, I feel so bad for feeling mad/sad/annoyed at times, but then again, it IS a pretty big deal (and was a huge life change) and my feelings are valid, too, I guess. I just hope she’ll be able to walk again (looking good so far- but baby steps. Literally.). For her own sanity. Being trapped in a house all day must be maddening. Thanks for the hugs and good luck to you and your father.

Some of them are old-ish. Sorry!

On the topic of nightlights…

simper-fi said: I’m the same way with a nightlight :3

Nightlights rule! I’m sleeping so much better with one than without. Of course, the best option is to have someone else sleep in that room with you but that’s not always an option…

Last weeks replies

didilysims said: Thanks for the Tellerman reminder! I didn’t make that connection the first time. 🙂

You’re welcome!

Kaylynn’s house

didilysims said: That classy wallpaper with the uni school spirit flag really fits Kaylynn’s character. 😀

TWINS!

didilysims said: Twins just love poor families!

Well, Kaylynn does have the fertility reward. I should just stop giving that to EVERY family sim in this hood.

GLS statue

holleyberry said: I actually had a whole scene, during Don and Cassie’s date in my story where this was discussed.

I probably read it, but, to be honest, I currently have the memory of a goldfish. I handed out drinks today and almost poured coffee ‘into’ a saucer instead of a cup- three separate times!

arin-arryn said: I thought it was a shoe, hahaha!

Funny thing! I showed it to my boyfriend and he said exactly the same! I guess it does look a bit like a shoe.
