Leaving for vacation tomorrow!

Gift exchange

lilibethsonar said: Aw, it looks so sweet! I need to make sims do it when it’s winter in my ‘hood. :3

I never remember to celebrate Christmas (I am incredibly forgetful when playing Sims and I hate those in-game calendars that remind you), so it’s a first for me as well.

Aging Plantsims

sunnyday-rae said: Wait are your plantsims teenagers?

Ivy and Poppy are actually adults in those shots. But in general, yes, my plantsims age like regular sims. I used this tutorial by @didilysims to teach me how to make them age “normally”.

Komei wants to befriend Timothy!!!!!!!!!

1800plumbobs said: aw komei <3

Komei is such a cinnamon roll and deserves so much better!

Movie Meme

I was tagged by @holleyberry and @lesyasun . Thank you!

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

I’m actually more of a tv series person, so let’s see if I can find 10 movies I love. Expect a lot of childhood favourites, animation movies and a few obscure german comedies thrown in for good measure- in no particular order.

We’re now entering obscure German comedy movie territory…

As always, I don’t tag anyone in particular. If you want to do this, feel free to feel tagged (no really, just tell them I tagged you. I won’t tell!).

Trump term paper

taylors-simblr said: Good luck! Xx

Thanks!

simcatcher said: What you don’t is they’re probably collecting essays like those to give him some direction ;b it’s a trap 

Uh! Although I don’t think my very liberal, German professor works with the American government… although he did work with the Pentagon on one occasion (he’s kind of famous in my country). Hm…

Pregnant Pao and his relationship with Andrea

moocha-muses said: Don’t think you’ll get out of the whole “saddling me with parental responsibilities for two babies” thing that easily!

Oh, should Andrea ever find out what really happened there will be hell to pay!

Why is the Hogan’s house so small?

lilibethsonar said: Extra floor? 🙂

That would be an option. But I suck at building, so…

Chance cards

holleyberry said: Haha! That’s an awesome chance card. No one in this house needs to work anymore.

It is! One of the best chance cards in the whole franchise, especially since it’s such a nonsensical one.

Happy birthday, Middleground!

holleyberry said: Congrats! It’s a fun hood to follow.

It’s fun to play, too. Good for winding down after a long day.

Dormie love

holleyberry said: Cute!

They are sooo adorable! Pictures don’t do them justice.

Meadow gets the boot

Right? She was so much fun to watch!

Some new townies (Part 1 and Part 2)

holleyberry said: Kennedy!

holleyberry said: Goopy!

I kind of missed them! Nice to see some “familiar faces” running around the neighbourhood.

Messing up

holleyberry said: *psst* I think you mean Pao is the gross one…?

holleyberry said: This post didn’t get the Middleground tag.

Whoops! Thanks, I fixed it!

TWINS!

holleyberry said: 2!!!

Yep. This will be fun…

Jan’s house

littlemicrocosims said: i love her house!

Thank you, but I can’t take any credit for it. It came with the neighbourhood (Middleground by plasticbox).

PC struggles

wearyvagabond said: Nvidia GTX 1060 works great with Sims 2 after minimal fiddling; I’d definitely recommend upgrading

itsyedude said: It’s best to get the 10 series over the 7 series since it’ll be supported longer. So definitely go for a GTX 1050 Ti. A GTX 1060 GTX will pretty much run almost anything without issue.

Thank you for your suggestions. I will look into it.

Middleground’s birthday

katatty-main said: oooh, exciting!! 😀

I don’t think I’ve ever played a neighbourhood for that long. Except for that one I played like ten years ago, but I just kept on adding Sims to it (and didn’t play on a rotational basis), so I’m not sure it counts.

Term papers and Trumps

sushigal007 said: Good luck! And on the bright side, you’ve got a whole lot of material to work with!

God, I wish. Unfortunately, our history department is like really old-fashioned and strongly advises us to only use published sources (books and academic articles, basically). They only allowed us to use online sources this year, and highly limit what we can and cannot use. Otherwise, I would probably just print out every tweet Trump’s ever made regarding his politic on Russia and hand that in… so maybe it’s a good idea to impose those restrictions?

German book titles

simspressionism said: German titles are so weird most of the time

SO MANY FORCED PUNS! Stuff that’s only half translated. Fantasy books that are named after their protagonists. I would like to meet the marketing teams that come up with those titles…

On book titles

I still don’t quite get why “Twilight” is called “Twilight”, but you must admit that it’s still much better than the German titles. It’s literally called “Bite until Twilight”, so… (there’s also a clever language twist in the “Bite” but it just doesn’t translate at all)

If you’d told me three years ago that I would one day write a term paper about the diplomatic relations of the President of the United States Donald Trump, I would have laughed you in the face.

Yet here I am.

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.

Is posting pictures of your Sims (and writing stories about them) fan fiction? A friend of mine and I were having a discussion about this the other day. I mean, technically it might actually be (if you’re using premades), but it still feels kinda weird…
