Belladonna Cove

didilysims said: I think the total is something like 52 or 53…crazy! And yet, it’s a city so it needs MORE!! Steal away on the makeovers if you like ‘em. 🙂 I stole a lot of ideas from other people anyway. I’m looking forward to seeing what you have planned for this ‘hood!

That’s… that’s a lot. Thanks, I definitely will. It’s just… a lot to makeover. Oh, I don’t quite know what I’ll do with it yet. I could imagine playing it regularly, but I could also see myself making up little “slice of life” stories with it (the second option would allow me to keep my attention on my other stuff…hm).

The college kids

holleyberry said: Brittany and Banjamin are going to make cute, redheaded little babies.

holleyberry said: Andrew, not Banjamin.

holleyberry said: Whose name i keep spelling wrong.

Hey, remember that I kept spelling Brandon wrong when I first started Middleground? There’s something about those “B” names…

Yeah, there are going to be a lot of redheads next generation. Brittany and Andrew’s future kids are obvious, but all of the Spitzig kids and Rufus Hogan also have recessive genes for red hair, Abigail either has a recessive for red or blonde, and Chandler is a natural redhead as well.

Yeah, Andrew has the most cohesive mix of his parents’ genes, I think. Benjamin can look a bit wonky. Andrew also looks similar to Brittany, so I’m very curious how their children will look like.

(Now I’m curious whether it would be possible for Andrew and Brittany to have a blonde kid)

Joe and Komei grow up

holleyberry said: They’ve come a long way.

Hell yeah. I’m curious what their elder years will hold in store for them.

Party time

holleyberry said: That’s when you teleport them to the lot.

Totally could have. But I thought it was kind of funny. And I’m a bit insecure about how much my new graphics card can handle. It is a gaming card, but it’s ancient. Not sure how it’ll handle all the new custom content like HQ grass and light up hood deco.

Remington’s makeover

kaylynn-langerak said: So classy! I really like your version of him!

He just struck me as fashionable hipster when I first saw him. So there you go.

didilysims said: It needs a bit of help (few BDC lots don’t), but I’ve always thought it’s pretty cool. I wish they had built even more houses in the tech style, actually. Socialites are lacking too…. Because obviously there aren’t enough lots in the neighbourhood already. 😉

I wholeheartedly agree. The downstairs pool is pretty cool, and even though I shudder at the thought of only having half-walls surrounding them, it does look pretty rad.

Yeah, they went completely overboard in the jock (?) district by the sea and neglected all of the Upper Belladonian districts (which is a shame, really). But even more lots would be madness, too. Aren’t there like 50 lots already?

(Also, I may or may not have ~~stolen~~ borrowed some of your makeovers of Belladonna Cove. Seriously, they are so pretty!)

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.

So there were a few weird moments during my oral exams that still crack me up (also finished both of them with a B+ so… woooo!)

Examiner 1: So you were really good at remembering little details. Very graphic description of the Ripper killings. I could have done without ever knowing them and I don’t think I’ll sleep tonight, but good for you. To be fair, I’m kinda concerned.

Examiner 1: So, now that you’ve proven that you are able to read and comprehend a Wikipedia page, can you tell me something about…

Examiner 2: So why do you think the sovereigns tried to make Henry IV abdicate?
Me: Because they were asshol- oh my god. OH MY GOD. I’m sorry.
Examiner 2: …
Examiner 2: No. No, that’s fair.

Went down a rabbit hole of old tumblr text posts. You can literally read my health and sanity deteriorating (along with my English skills) over the past year.

Just one more week and I’m done with this part of school. Finally. I’m gonna hang in there and then I’ll take a nice vacation!

So for my last oral exam, I got a very narrow topic to talk about by my examiner (after not getting anything at all and then a “sorry, your topic is far too broad).

I’m supposed to talk about some historians’ opinions about a historical event. The thing is, this very same list of people with the very same arguments I’m supposed to be talking about are on the historical event’s Wikipedia page. So the prof either wrote the Wikipedia page or just looked at it, went “Eh, close enough” and then assigned me the topic.

I think I want to become a prof.

Added a link for the Sarah Love Moonbeam Trail thing to my sidebar. It’s called “Love and other misadventures” because I’m cheesy like that.

Going to play some Middleground tonight. I’m really missing the game as I haven’t been able to properly play in a few weeks.

Top 10 Favourite Series

Now that’s something I can do!

I got tagged by @holleyberry and @thesimtraveler . Thank you so much!

Rules: Using gifs, and without using titles, list your top ten favorite tv shows of all time. They don’t have to be in any particular order. Tag however many people you like.

And once again, obscure German television:

As always, if you want to do this and no one tagged you, consider this your tag.

My college professor gave me two very important historical persons to compare because they both attended a very important historical event. I just found out that one of those very important historical persons was born 150 years after the very important historical event. Deadline is in three days, so let’s procrastinate until I figure out what to do.

Movie tag

holleyberry said: omg, I love What we do in the Shadows.

It’s so amazing! And it is set in Wellington, which is probably my favourite town on this planet!

moocha-muses said: MIB and Big Hero 6 could both be on my list, honestly

Right? They are just really great and hold a very special place in my heart.

That nameless Love thing

executables-sims said: Loving this already! 😀

Thanks! (Fair warning, though, as a Moonbeam trail challenge, it’s bound to get weird pretty quick…)

Back from vacation

I’m back! I’ve been tagged in quite a few of Top 10 lists and I’ll get to it once the whole post vacation stress is over. Meanwhile, remember how I talked about doing my own Moonbeam Trail? Well, I kinda did- with Sarah Love. I’ll be posting the first two neighbourhoods of it for a while (got a few more exams/ termpapers before I’m officially done with school for the summer). The whole thing doesn’t really has a name or a tag, so suggestions are welcome.
