sajlica said: you’re welcome! Actually that is very much aligned with my idea and I agree about plantsims…Maybe put bigfoot there, he already has all that fur 😀 but I really like your idea with him in DV…and not sure about zombies though 😀

Yeah, in theory, Bigfoot would be a much better fit for Riverblossom. 

Well, I guess that’s the issue with the zombies. They just don’t have a proper place in the main hoods. I guess you could place them in Pleasantview (resurrecting Michael Bachelor went horribly wrong?) or maybe Strangetown- I feel like they would actually fit there Now that I’m writing this, Strangetown. It is the town Death’s mistress lives in. It fits pretty well. But then you don’t really have one life stage per town but 7-supernatural-towns+(presumably)-Belladonna Cove… 

If you had 8 hoods (no unis or vacation hoods, but with Downtown) and 8 life states (alien, zombie, bigfoot, vampire, witch, plantsim, warewolf, robot) as a main plot for each hood, how would you match it? (eg. Strangetown / alien because of Smith family; Desiderata valley / warewolf because Natasha Una becomes one; Bluewater V. / bigfoot because Tinkers capture one to help their business…) Hope you understand me…I have some ideas but zombie one I cannot match in any hood or family xD Thanks

That’s… weirdly specific. Okay, here we go. Probably not very exciting, but…

Pleasantview- witches. Bella Goth being a witch is basically canon by now. It’s hard to imagine anything else.

Strangetown- as you said. Aliens. Aliens everywhere. XD

Veronaville- I’d put the werewolf in here because waaay back I played an extended version of Veronaville (with some of the college premade sims and their family living there, too) and I turned one of them into a werewolf. Worked surprisingly well. And come on, being werewolves would explain so much of Tybalt’s (and Mercutio’s) behaviour

Downtown- vampires. First of all, all non-playable vampires live there, and second of all, don’t tell me the Tricou’s weren’t supposed to be a creepy vampire clan.

Bluewater- robots. Yes, I know, I’m mostly matching supernaturals to the EP they first appeared in, but yeah, they kind of fit the overall theme. And when I think of Chester Gieke (I know, I know, he’s technically a bin family), my mind screams “robot!” and “Aliens!” but I already used them up, sooo… Also, Malcolm Landgraab totally has a robot servant that freaks Miss Delarosa out whenever he visits her. She is old fashioned like that.

Riveblossom- well, I’m gonna say Plantsims, even though I still don’t understand why EAxis would put Sims that are basically Plants and need lots of sunlight in a town where it’s winter half the time?!

Desiderata Valley- you know what? Marcel Joque leaves his boring as f*** wife for Bigfoot and the two of them move into a cabin in the woods. Natasha befriends Bigfoot and helps him adapting to SimWorld. John Mole becomes convinced that Bigfoot is a RedNation spy. It’s a big f***ing mess and would make the most boring family in the whole family much more interesting.

Belladonna Cove- bring on the Zombie apocalypse. One of the Cordial witches probably started it by trying to turn their sister into a toad. (I feel like this would actually be a lot of fun. Imagine Armand DeBateau and Connor Weir fighting over the last can of food in a burning supermarket.)

Thanks, that was actually a lot of fun!

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

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…

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.

Humans are inherently stupid creatures (the writer of this post included). That’s just a fact. We decide on a basis of “what’s best for me” (screw all the others), and if there’s someone who tells them that all the bad things happening to them (no job, no money- people in need actually get money from our state, but many feel that’s that not enough- and maybe, it really is-, no perspective) is because the state would much rather help The Others, then, unfortunately, people will vote for them. Couple that with racist sentiments and a sense of foreign infiltration and you got a toxic cocktail. It’s suddenly become fashionable again to be racist. Just like antisemitism became fashionable again in the late 1800s- early 1900s.

It’s probably gonna be fine, the party will destroy itself (has already happened in at least one state parliament), in fact, it has already started- one member of the party flat out refuses to work with the others…

I guess we’ll see in another four years.

Why my country is f*cked

twofingerswhiskey said: ??

The German general election was today and our very own right-wing extremist/protest party got over 13% (Very recently, they told the public that they would “hunt down” chancellor Merkel (she’s been re-elected. We have the tendency to keep our chancellors for a very long time.) and the established parties, and chanted “Germany back to the Germans”. 

Also, the preach water but drink wine (they are against homosexuals or at least giving homosexuals certain rights (they are very focused on the nuclear family, going as far as demonising single parents), immigrants, and refugees, but one of their chairwomen is a lesbian in a relationship with an Asian woman, who has adopted a child and has recently come under fire for illegally hiring a refugee woman as a cleaning lady… yeah.).

I mean, that would be bad enough if it happened in every other country, but f*cking Germany?! You’d think people would read a history book, but nooo…

And don’t even get me started on the fact that we now have 6 parties in our parliament, which unfortunately also means that we’ll have a three-party government and therefore, an unstable government. We specifically have a law that tries to prevent this (”5% barrier”) because back in the old days, we had a myriad of parties and no working government, which kind of led to Hitler.

On the positive side, 87% of all voters didn’t vote for the second coming of Hitler. (Yeah, I have a very strong opinion on that. Sorry.)
