#Sims 4 history nerd

[haffiesimmer]

Take a Sims 4 break for a few months because Real Life™ and all that jazz. Finally make it back to playing. One of the first things I do for my Amazon save is build a Minoan-esque palace thanks to @xmasmonkey's Knossos CC stuff pack.

Behold: Eleutiossos!

February 1923, Henford-on-Bagley, England

Byron’s 28th birthday passed with little fanfare. He didn’t even invite his mother to visit. Instead, he’d spent the last two months holed up in his house, writing correspondence with linguists, philologists, archeologists, etc. He’d taken up Samson’s suggestion and buried himself in his passions, and when someone asked for a person in the UK who could read and translate Akkadian and Aramaic along with fluency in Arabic, he’d eagerly volunteered himself, acting as an additional translator for recently found tablets. He’d gotten so into it that he’d even had replicas made so he could study them.

When he wasn’t doing that, he’d decided to pick up translating books again, though he used a different name for publishers, but after learning there were no official English translations of the complied tablets of the Epic of Gilgamesh that included recent discoveries, he’d thrown himself into it, spending nearly all day in his study and library all day, only leaving to sleep, eat, or bathe. It was an obsession, overtaking every other thought he had, but he supposed it was better than being depressed and drinking, even if it was still isolation

A week after his birthday, Byron received a short letter from Wilhelmina. 

Byron,

I haven’t heard from you in months. I hear you’ve been busy with all sorts of translation work, and I am interested to see what you will do with it—I doubt it is a coincidence that you are writing to the same publishing company my husband uses. Jack is about to publish his third book of poems, and we’re throwing a party to celebrate, and not to flatter myself, but I am a very good hostess, and most of our friends aren’t snobby little lords and ladies, but people I think you would like to get know, writers, artists, scholars, etc. both well known and unknown. Although Jack’s not a member of the Bloomsbury Group, he spends enough time with them I think he should be! It will be on the 2nd of March, Friday evening. The party starts at six, but I implore you to come early and stay with us for the week—there is a new exhibit at the British Museum featuring pre-Anglo-Saxon Celtic Britain, and with your knowledge and mastery of Common Brittonic, I fancy you would make a lovely guide and perhaps we’ll find a dirty phrase or two. I expect a telegram within the next two days once this letter arrives.

Warmest Regards (unless you fail to reply),

Wilhelmina Porter

He laughed, setting the letter down and shaking his head. Wilhelmina, he learned, was something of a hostess, and he’d heard of parties thrown by Jack Porter and his wife, though he’d never known it was her. But it wasn’t what he was thinking about. This, alongside being a letter from a friend, was also the first invitation he’d received since getting divorced, and in truth, he missed his heavy social life in New York, and while he wasn’t accepted among men of his noble rank, she was right. He longed to be in the social circles with the beliefs he held—so it didn’t take very long before he left the library to pack a suitcase for London.

★ bf! keiji akaashi hcs ˙ ̟⪩⪨ !!

i wanna eat him up thank u vv much. random hcs, i js kept jotting them down (im prepping myself for writing practice/drabbles later :p). did not proofread

𖦹 type of bf who refuses to let you tie your own shoelaces/put on your own shoes when ygs are with each other. like he WILL kneel down and do it for you!!!

𖦹 likes to pick flowers that match your outfit whenever the two of you are out + takes candid photos of you with said flower in the frame

𖦹 definitely the type of bf who randomly sends pictures throughout the day to show you things that remind him of you. even if sometimes it's deadass two ladybugs bugging it out, he's like "us🩷"

𖦹 "play fights" your plushies when he's in your room. "begone foul beast!" he'd say before fucking chucking it to the other side of the room and then body slamming you onto the bed when you try to get up to retrieve it

𖦹 this man religiously uses pinterest idc. he has a whole board of things that remind him of you, pose ideas he wants to do with you, outfits he thinks you would absolutely body, literally loves that app

𖦹 he takes letterboxd and goodreads SERIOUSLY.

𖦹 loves keeping pictures of you/the both of you together literally everywhere and anywhere. behind his phone case, in his wallet, on his fridge, every daily mirror he uses ever. there's probably one in the little pockets of his notebook he brings to lectures

𖦹 ^^ each picture has a poem he wrote/saw that made him think of you in the back

𖦹 chews on your hair

𖦹 plays the harmonica in his free time (i cannot stop thinking of michael from the princess diaries when akaashi is the topic at hand) (are they not one in the same???)

𖦹 if you have any pets, he brings treats in his bag when he knows he's gonna stop by your house. sometimes he tries to teach them how to do a backflip or smt

𖦹 likes playing with your fingers, but he always does some weird shit with it. like i'm talking twisting and turning and putting them through each other idfk

𖦹 plays the sims and made put both of you in it (you guys are married with 4 kids)

𖦹 ^^ but when he plays he makes up some crazy lore about your characters like how he was actually a fucking alien sent to earth on a mission to like obliderate you or something, but during his journey to earth he got amnesia or something and couldn't remember his goal until the two of you bumped into each other at your great grandmother's 2nd cousin's daughter's nephew's guinea pig's birthday party (don't ask me how he got there) and when you guys locked eyes, he instantly remembered what he was supposed to do but you obviously didn't wanna get obliderated so instead the two of you went into hiding from the aliens and lived happily ever after

𖦹 he collects a bunch of pretty rocks and has his own rock collection, which is right by his coin collection because he's a big history nerd

𖦹 he knows how to embroider and embroiders your guys' initials into the hem of his boxers (hell yeah)

𖦹 gives you the most STANKIEST side eye if you refer to him as anything other than a pet name. "who is bro...? try again."

𖦹 likes to lay his head on your lap while you massage his temples

𖦹 is literally an only child so sometimes when he buys snacks and you ask to share he sighs SOOOOOO fucking loud and is like "well i GUESS i can give you a FEW...."

i love when people depict him as a silly guy like the world needs more silly and he is literally right there. ok bai

Loki Beaker

Локи Колби — смелый естествоиспытатель, чей подход к науке отличается некоторой... экстравагантностью. Если бы механика игры Sims 4 позволяла сшивать «многоножек» из персонажей, он был бы на седьмом небе от счастья! Я заменил его дефолтную ЖЦ «Мозговитый чудак» на «Мировую знаменитость», т.к. в моем представлении этот персонаж весьма честолюбив и мечтает о том, чтобы его славное имя вошло в историю Симнации. Благодаря своему недюжинному уму, а также покровительству Теда Розвелла Локи Колби занимает руководящую должность в лаборатории «Симы будущего», которая в моем представлении находится где-то между Стрейнджервилем и Оазис Спрингс. Бедные, бедные братья Всезнайко!

В моем сохранении Локи вместе с женой Цирцеей, двумя детьми-клонами и домашним подопытным живет в Стрейнджервиле, в богатом и благополучном районе Шейди Экрз. О нюансах непростых взаимоотношений семейства Колби с мэром города вы можете прочитать здесь.

english text below the cut

Loki Beaker is a daring scientist whose approach to science is characterized by a certain… originality. If the Sims 4 game mechanics allowed him to stitch centipedes out of sims, he would be over the moon! I replaced his default aspiration Nerd Brain with World-Famous Celebrity, since in my hc this sim is quite ambitious and dreams of his glorious name going down in Simnation history. Due to his splendid mind and the patronage of Ted Roswell, Loki Beaker holds an executive position in the FutureSim Labs, which in my mind is located somewhere between Strangerville and Oasis Springs. Poor, poor Curious brothers!

In my save file, Loki, along with his wife Circe, two clone children, and domestic test subject, lives in Shady Acres, a wealthy and better-off neighborhood in Strangerville. You can read about the features of the Beakers' complicated relationship with the mayor of Strangerville here.

The Survivors, part 2

☢️Leo Zimmermann (by @frauhupfner )

Leo is a huge nerd and a geek who knows everything about zombies - fictional ones, anyway. He's read every comic, watched just about every movie, and played every Resident Evil game, so he considers himself quite the expert on the subject.

He'll happily talk about it for hours with anybody who listens, but he's quite terrified of running into an actual zombie.

☢️Fred Whitmore (Sim & bio by @moocha-muses )

Fred had a family, once. Well, his real family was too busy yachting and schmoozing at the country club to pay him much attention, but he also had a REAL family: his team. When the world went crazy, the highschool quarterback and football captain didn't hesitate to round up his team to face the zombies head on. But tragedy struck while the team was in the midst of a raid (at the Academy Sports for new cleats, running shorts, etc.). The zombies descended upon them, and while every Hail Mary Fred threw cleanly tore a zombie's head right off; the Academy Sports only had so many brand new footballs. Fred and his buddy, Jace, were the only survivors, but Jace left soon after to join some kind of cult upstate. Which is whatever. Fred was barely even invested in their increasingly homoerotic subplot. There's a sadness in his eyes now, but Fred still carries hope that one day a new generation will have all the opportunities he's lost. Like the chance to pledge Phi Betta Kappa and throw a truly raging kegger.

4/8/9/6/5, Popularity, Gay (but closeted about it).

Strengths: Great upper body, all the charisma of a formal high school football captain

Weaknesses: Will join literally any team no matter how many visible knives they're carrying, daddy issues

☢️Jaclyn Clove (Sim & bio by @moocha-muses )

You know who you REALLY want on your apocalypse team? A former eagle scout. Jackie earned every badge you CAN earn and then some. She can start fires. She can tie knots. She can gut a fish. She can identify useful herbs and edible mushrooms, sew up torn cloths, do basic and intermediate first aid, AND she won the archery contest three years running.

She also has a degree in History, if that means anything to you. (It doesn't.) Given the current job market, the apocalypse might actually have been a blessing.

7/6/7/4/9, Knowledge, Bi

Strengths: pretty much every outdoor skill, good stamina, citizenship, knows a lot about the ancient Greeks and the Roman Empire

Weaknesses: way too helpful for her own good. once caught a zombie in a rope trap and felt so bad for it she nearly let it out.

☢️Lemon Rodriguez (Sim & bio by @moocha-muses )

Lemon spent the thirty years before the apocalpyse running a junkyard. Unsurprisingly, they can repair basically anything, and, more importantly, they don't need things like manufacturer approved parts to do it. Lemon's used to their own company, and if they were twenty years younger they'd probably try to ride the apocalypse out by themselves, but it'd be nice to have some kids around to do the actual fighting and scouting, Their knees just aren't what they used to be.

2/1/6/8/3, Fortune, Ace/Aro

Strengths: an excellent mechanic with unparalled improvisational skills, a huge horror fan (double-edged sword)

Weaknesses: mediocre knees, a smoker (trying to quit)

Ok so nerd My Sims Game Lore time-

But my planar demons in Sims are basically originally born of mortal desires and needs, and the 4 Realms/Kingdoms for them are divided based/inspired on a combo of the 4 horsemen and the hierarchy of needs. And a smattering of the OG 8 deadly sins. Also because desires and needs aren't inherently, you know, bad or sinful their titles or more morally neutral with these aspects being the negative extremes they can represent. (Yeah 7 deadly sins used to be 8, things got shuffled around a bit in history.)

Brief rundown from least to most powerful:

1: Realm of Power (ironic being the least powerful, I know): Horseman of Conquest, Physiological Need- Warmth (sometimes listed as shelter/clothing). vanity, pride 2: Realm of Change: Horseman of War, physiological need- breathable air. Wrath, Greed 3: Realm of Wanting: Horseman of Famine, physiological needs: hunger and thirst. Gluttony, Lust. (was once ruled by twins, though the one associated with Thirst and Lust- Leviathan- has been exiled). 4: Realm of Stillness: Horseman of Death, physiological need- sleep. Despair, Sloth

Now... just gotta work out how the hell angels work in this planar system I got going. I know they are born from Ideals and Dreams of mortals in this lore set up, but that's about it.

[echoweaver]

So, I played the Riffins for the first time since I dunno. The first serious time on the new computer, definitely.

I have a bunch posts worth of screenshot backlog for all of my saves, I think, so in theory I could start posting again now. It's really just a matter of doing it.

What follows is some geeking that may interest nobody, but this is just how I roll.

The first silly thing is that I now have screenshots in 16:10 aspect ratio. On my old computer, I ran Windows at a low resolution partly for performance and partly because I could keep the 4:3 aspect ratio, i.e. a much narrower display for the same height. My reasoning is that when you post pics, either on Wordpress or here, the width of the image determines the size you see. A wider aspect ratio gets sized down to the width of the dashboard you're looking at, and everything is smaller. In my current setup. I pretty much have to run at a higher screen resolution, and it looks awfully nice honestly. Sims 3 doesn't have any 4:3 aspect ratio options for modern computer resolutions. I may see if I can hack it in the options file. If I can't, it'll be reeeealy obvious when I move on to the new gameplay 🤷‍♀️.

For technical nerds, if in fact there are any reading this, I'm experimenting with playing the game on Codeweavers Crossover, a distribution of wine, which in turn is an implementation of Windows API for Mac users. I have traditionally played the game on a Windows virtual machine in Parallels. Running an entire second operating system in order to play one game is a bit much, but you do what you can do. I have messed around in Mac 64-bit, and it does really super smoothly for a new game, but it doesn't support core mods (no ErrorTrap or UntranslatedKey), and existing saves (at least modded ones) have not for me without crashing.

I tried Sims with Crossover on my old Intel Mac (man that thing was so top-of-the-line six years ago), and it ran delightfully fast and crashed within 10 minutes. Crossover has done a lot of updates to its 32-bit support since then, but only for the newer Mac architecture. Now that I have one of these fancy Apple Silicon doohickies, I tried again. The play was not as dizzyingly fast as it was on Intel, with the advantage that it played smoothly with all mods for an entire session of about 1.5 hours. Sooooo.... maybe this will work? I don't want to jinx it. I do have Parallels+Windows to run some other stuff if this doesn't cut it.

I'm not even going to try Reshade. It's too exciting that this no-Windows approach might actually work at all. Plus with the higher resolution and the lack of Windows, the game just looks better to me anyway.

I haven't tried to play the Samples yet with all their weird skintones and custom everything. The decades history challenge might even be worse in that regard. The Riffins at least run in an EA world. We. Shall. See.

Late November 1918, Edinburgh, Scotland

It made Byron very glad to see his sister. He hadn’t seen her since Alexander’s funeral, and it was nice to see her in a joyful context. The war was over!

“Oh, you’ll love Edinburgh, Byron,” Edeline said the moment they stopped hugging. “It’s so beautiful and full of history. And I think it would fit perfectly with your obsession with languages and dialects.”

“It’s not an obsession.”

“You wrote one of your master’s thesis on how forced social isolation affects languages and accents. And how many languages can you speak again?”

“Seventeen.”

Elspeth looked shocked. “Really?”

“I’m a polyglot. I can speak English, Welsh, Gaelic, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Latin, Greek, Hungarian, Russian, Mandarin, Cantonese, Arabic, Old English, and Hebrew in varying degrees of fluency. I also can read and translate Aramaic and Akkadian, but my speaking isn’t wonderful. Currently learning Irish and Common Britontic.”

 “...Why?”

“I’m a linguist and philologist. My specialties are language histories of the British Isles and Babylonia. Eventually, I’d like to learn the early forms of Irish.”

“My brother has always been a genius when it comes to languages."

Although Mr. and Mrs. MacGregor were his sister’s in-laws, he didn’t really know them, and the fact they had invited him to stay before returning home was touching. The cottage was small but homely, and he understood why Edeline and and Montgomery had sold their London townhouse for Scotland. Beginning in the spring, she would finish her medical degree at the University of Edinburgh while Montgomery was going to set up a clinic for the poorer people of the city with some of his friends from school.

He was happy for his sister, of course he was. But he felt lost. Most of his adult life was spent in school or at war. He didn’t know what he wanted with his life. Sure, returning to university to obtain his doctorate had been in the back of his mind, but what after that?

🧚‍♂️ Wings of Legacy Challenge (10 Generations of Fairy Lore)

I asked chat gbt to come up with a fairy legacy challenge and this is the result !

[lucky-clover-gazette]

okay season 7 done, here’s the ranking that no one asked for:

1. bête noire - extremely fun, meticulous and intentional script (one of my fav things about charlie brooker’s writing), great visuals, love the premise and mounting absurdity, the acting and chemistry were fantastic, big fan of the homoeroticism. does a good job of being primarily campy, but also has a little bit of more serious social satire/commentary, mostly around maria and verity’s races (after reading commentary from charlie brooker and the cast, i suspect that the call for both roles did not specify race, but this casting added another incidental layer of depth to the script). basically this is somehow the best episode of season 7 to me and i plan to rewatch it often. also the best lesbian episode but only if you’re into whatever the hell those two had going on

2. uss callister: into infinity - so much fun. i already loved the characters and concept, visuals humor and music were all on-point. i did not feel entirely satisfied as i did with the first, which feels great as a standalone, but i’m still very happy that the sequel exists. although i would love to see a future black mirror episode that shows a more positive side of nerdy passion/hyperfixation, as the ethos of this saga comes from kinda mocking it because robert is a bad person. you can only use the “this is nerdy and lame i don’t like old things” joke so many times. robert daly didn’t suck bc he was a hyperfixated nerd, he sucked bc he was undersocialized, vindictive, and unwilling to consider the autonomy and internal lives of the people around him when given the chance.

3. plaything - the length of this one saves it. it doesn’t overstay its welcome. it’s a very calculated slow burn of a story and i appreciate the concept of simulation games as a reflection of humanity, and biblical stuff recontextualized in such a bizarre but fitting manner (cain and abel, giving the little guys an apple, etc). i’m also just a lifetime sims player and i think about this kind of philosophical stuff so it’s up my alley. and i miss peter capaldi as the doctor.

4. hotel reverie - there’s some good stuff in here, but there were some problems with the pacing, logic, and main actress’s performance that just kinda landed it low among a batch of really strong episodes. the most effective part was dorothy’s sequence in the void, and then that was erased entirely. not nearly as good as san junipero, but still better than hang the dj.

5. common people - well-made but i’m not sure if i will ever watch it again. but good classic black mirror. very very upsetting, the most upsetting of the season by far. this is more a personal anxiety trigger thing than an objective quality thing

6. eulogy - a calm, poignant, and well-executed episode! just not particularly special or exciting to me. i get what it wanted to accomplish and i respect the execution. not sure if i’d rewatch, though. it was forgettable, while common people was not, hence the ranking

updated full series ranking under the cut. asterisk means i haven’t watched it in a while or can’t remember much, so could be reconsidered

1. nosedive

2. uss callister

3. loch henry

4. bête noire

5. san junipero

6. hated in the nation

7. fifteen million merits

8. uss callister: into infinity

9. black museum

10. white bear

11. plaything

12. demon 79

13. white christmas

14. hotel reverie

15. crocodile

16. playtest

17. joan is awful*

18. shut up and dance

19. be right back

20. common people

21. metalhead*

22. eulogy

23. arkangel

24. beyond the sea*

25. the national anthem*

26. mazey day*

27. striking vipers*

28. the entire history of you*

29. men against fire*

30. smithereens*

31. rachel, jack, and ashley too*

32. the waldo moment*

33. hang the dj (i just remember REALLY disliking this one)*

Occult Legacy Challenge Rules

This is my take on asphodel moon's Occult Legacy Challenge. Many of the rules and goals have remained the same, but I've updated a few to better align with the most recent packs and features.

As I continue to play through the challenge, I may go back and modify a few things to work better.

Generation #1 - Strangerville

After leaving home for the first time, you find yourself living in a small home in Strangerville. You're not there very long before you start to notice things are particularly strange and the locals are even stranger. At your job at the local lab, you overhear colleagues talking about the towns mystery and the 'other' lab that stands across town. You get sucked into the conspiracy and are determined to figure it all out. On top of that, you're pretty sure you've made contact with aliens. What could possibly go wrong?
