I’ll be so happy when the Bundestagswahl (German general election) is over. For the last few days, I’ve been flooded with advertisements online. Youtube, Tumblr (that right-wing one), even fricking Modthesims! But yay, the German parties have finally figured out how the internet works? *Cue to Merkel’s famous “Neuland” speech (”The internet is uncharted territory for all of us”- Merkel 2013, got many people laughing. 2013!!!)*

Also, to all my German followers (do I have any?). Go vote. You can make a difference.

A whole lot of replies

jaydesims said: Ah I’ve missed them too! ❤️

They are still one of my most favourite Sims (and my favourite BACC idea- yes, they are actually a BACC, how’s that?) and they- well, their templates are still safely tucked away on my external harddrive… one day.

Good morning, Sandy!

didilysims said: She doesn’t look like she’s ready for this level of responsibility yet!

XD. She’d probably much rather have the raise without the added responsibility (let’s just pretend she was promoted to Senior Masseuse or sth…)

Vacation time!

greenfooddog said: Exciting!

didilysims said: Have a blast! (Though you’re probably back now :P)

Thanks! It was lovely. Been there before, but took my bf along this time. he loved it, too. Got a tad too “comfy” with airport security, but other than that, it was lovely. Probably shouldn’t attempt to enter the United States, ever. XD

Polly.

eulaliasims said: As she has always planned to do! I, for one, welcome our new avian overlord.

Hail Polly, conqueror of the Sim World.

didilysims said: That face. She’s just asking us to try to stop her.

The parrots in this game are clearly up to something…

Joe f*cking up, again.

holleyberry said: Doh! Sandy?!

Hey, she’s all about free love! If Joe accepted…

German punctuality

didilysims said: Wow, for international flights here it’s recommended to arrive 3 hours early–minimum. I miss Europe! 😦

Well, due to ~Europe~ and the fact that GB is still part of Europe (sorry, Brexit fans), it is a lot less rigid here. Even with the heightened security (they really did step up their game since last year), turning up 80 minutes early was more than enough.

Baby Plantsims!

holleyberry said: Oops!

didilysims said: Those darn spores are tricky!

They really are. (No, really. While I did that one on purpose, one misclick and you suddenly have a new household member. Not sure if EA thought that through… Then again, not many Simmers play Plantsims).

Kaylynn, the mean room mate.

didilysims said: Oh this is going to be good.

What could possibly go wrong?

Kaylynn… lurking…

didilysims said: Whatcha doing Kaylynn?

Dunno, stuff? Do you really want to know what she’s doing there?

Fyi

I’ve upped the queue to 12 posts per night (whoah!) because I have 300 posts in the queue and 28 in my drafts folder, and am like three rounds ahead of the queue (not to mention the upcoming interlude of Teens challenge pictures). So in order to have any chance to ever catch up to Middleground, I decided to spam you.

Also, I’ll be in Glasgow (Scotland) from Sunday until Thursday and therefore, inactive aside from my queued posts.

College- more wtf

aondaneedles:

Was able to solve my grade problem. Ran into even more problems. 

A) Apparently, I have to take two exercise courses in history. Somehow, one of them is not in the university calendar. At all. And someone thought it would be a good idea to let the person who does all the counselling go. Without filling the position until mid-October. Which is way after my deadline. Also, every exercise course conflicts with my compulsory secondary education courses. Every. Single. One.

B) The woman who does the counselling for secondary education is on holiday. I can’t reach her either.

C) I could probably ask the history students council for help regarding the history stuff. But they only have their counselling hours up to last week posted online. I’m commuting roughly 1 hour back and forth between my hometown and college and really don’t feel like wasting gas.

What. The. Actual. Fuck.

I was able to solve most of this. Will still have to visit campus again tomorrow to solve the issues regarding overlapping courses, but apart from that, everything seems fine. For now.

didilysims said: Oh whew! I was getting a little worried seeing this so soon after your note about deleting old posts, ha ha! And yes, what is it about neighbourhood pics that makes that reblog button so much more attractive? 😛 

Nah, it’s all good. That old posts thing was just… dunno, life is pretty hectic right now (I’m preparing for my fourth year of college- three year’s the norm, but I switched after two- I’m now studying secondary education) and I kind of get the urge to clean something- and my whole house was already squeaky clean, my poor old tumblr became the victim. XD But as I said, nothing important to me was deleted.

Probably the illusion. It’s just a beautiful picture, you don’t have to get invested in it to appreaciate it.

didilysims said: But she’s so pretty when she knows. 🙂

She is the one true criminal mastermind in this town and she knows.

didilysims said: Don’t thank me–thank the Greeks. 😉 Only one puppy though? That’s disappointing. 😦

Most of my animals lately only had one puppy/kitten per litter. But as long as you don’t want to earn money by selling them (*shakes fist at game*), it’s kind of nice.

holleyberry said: Maybe she prefers to just climb in from the ladder.

Oh, she’s definitely more of a ladder kind of girl plant. But she paid for that diving board, sooo…

holleyberry said: “…what the woohoo” XD

I have an armada of sim-related insults and swear words at the ready. It gets weird when I use them in real life.

holleyberry said: That lot looks fun! I’ve always wanted to build, or makeover a museum. Also, did you know there was an AL fix for that light so it doesn’t hover like that? I’ll find it for you.

holleyberry said: modthesims.info/d/31572…

Ahhh! Thank you! I just noticed it the other day! You’re a life saver! Well, ceiling saver?

eulaliasims said: She definitely knows! The parrots in this game look so suspicious to me. 😛 Always giving things the side eye and talking about crime…

They are criminal masterminds, hellbent on taking over the world, that’s for sure… and they want to drive us, the players to madness by being incredibly hard to keep alive!

didilysims said: Irfanview is my program of choice. It does the same as the above. 🙂

Thanks, I’ll try it. Especially since my anti-virus-program automatically put PhotoScape into quarantine and basically told me “Don’t ever download that again”…

I’m currently in the process of adding sidebars to my tumblr site with all my ‘main’ neighbourhoods, so if something’s wonky, please tell me. Also, in case you wondered (which you probably didn’t), Strangetown isn’t considered abandoned, just on hiatus.
