⋆｡°✩ jake and the simulation

there was definitely an urge to purchase an overpriced life simulator game just to date jake sim ...

𓏲 ๋࣭ ࣪ ˖✦⋆˚ pairing — sim jaeyun x male!reader

𓏲 ๋࣭ ࣪ ˖✦⋆˚ tags — fluff, implied male!reader down bad for jake, loosely accurate sims 4 references because i haven't played in a looooong while, sickening love idk!!

𓏲 ๋࣭ ࣪ ˖✦⋆˚ warning + notes — uhhhh sims references because i wanted it to be an april fools jokey kinda cracky themed, its either this or a whole fic written in simlish asjughfiaufsa

𓏲 ๋࣭ ࣪ ˖✦⋆˚ word count — 1.5k

𓏲 ๋࣭ ࣪ ˖✦⋆˚ looking for my main masterlist? — here's the legacy one!

The soft hum of your computer filled the quiet room as you cracked your knuckles, fingers hovering over the keyboard. The familiar jingle of The Sims 4 booting up sent a thrill through you. You’d been planning this for weeks.

The Create-a-Sim screen loaded, and you wasted no time. First on the agenda—your own sim.

You adjusted every detail meticulously, from the arch of his eyebrows to the slight dimple in his left cheek when he smiled. You dressed him in your favorite outfit and named him after yourself.

Then, with a deep breath, you clicked New Sim.

This one was different. Special.

You scrolled through hairstyles until you found the one—that fluffy, almost jet black mess of flowy hair that always made your heart skip.

You shaped his face carefully, softening his jaw just enough to match that smile—the one that had been your lockscreen for almost as long as you could remember.

This sim was very special, with you giving him warm, deep-set eyes, a gentle nudge to shape his flattering nose, and a playful set of lips based on those that always seemed to linger in your mind.

Jake Sim.

You bit your lip as you stared at the screen. It wasn’t really him, of course—just pixels and code—but something about seeing him there, even in this form, made your chest tighten.

"Okay," you muttered, saving him. "Let’s make this happen."

After the loading screen had passed, you placed them in neighboring houses in Willow Creek—close enough to run into each other, but not too obvious.

Live Mode, on cue. ˚　　✦　　.　. 　 ˚　.　 . ★⋆.　　✦　.　　.　 ˚　.　　✦　˚ 　　 ˚　.˚　

The first few in-game hours were… rough.

Your sim wandered around his empty house, aimlessly flipping through TV channels before you remembered, "RIGHT... the mission."

You directed him to Jake’s house, your pulse quickening as the loading screen faded. The door swung open, and there he was—standing in his pajamas, blinking sleepily at your sim like he’d just woken up.

You almost short-circuited right at your seat. Why does he have to be cute in this too!?

You clicked Introduce, and your sim awkwardly waved.

With enough imagination, you filled those garbling nonsensical words with actual lines in your head.

"Uh, hey! I'm your new neighbor."

Jake Sim rubbed his eyes, then grinned. "Oh! Hey! I’m Jake. You, uh… want some coffee?"

Yes. Yes, you did. In the context of you being the sim, of course. Definitely.

You made them chat for way too long—about music, favorite foods, even the weird gnomes that kept spawning in your backyard. Finding out that it wasn't just an occurrence on your side was enough to bring you guys closer, growing more familiar as you chatted. Every interaction sent the friendship bar creeping higher.

Then, emboldened, you hovered over Flirt.

"Has anyone ever told you how radiant you are?"

Almost throwing yourself at your keyboard, that line played in your head, and you went haywire. Landing a line like that on Jake would’ve been so outrageously chaotic.

Seeing your screen yet again, Jake Sim blushed. Actually blushed. How does a 3D model in a game do that?! Crazy.

"Oh my god," he laughed, covering his face. "That’s so cheesy."

Just then, a green +Romance symbol floated above his head.

You pumped your fist. "Hell yeah!" ˚　　✦　　.　. 　 ˚　.　 . ★⋆.　　✦　.　　.　 ˚　.　　✦　˚ 　　 ˚　.˚　

Three in-game days later, you finally worked up the courage to send them on a date.

You chose that one custom café you saw on YouTube and tried to get your hands on the tray files. A quiet spot nestled in Magnolia Promenade—the café was quaint, intimate, and nothing but perfect. Your sim fidgeted with his shirt the entire walk there, and you couldn’t help but laugh at how nervous he looked.

Jake Sim was already waiting at a corner table, idly scrolling through his phone. When your sim sat down, he perked up instantly.

"You came!"

"Of course I did."

Oh, these imaginations of yours are doing wonders, aren't they?

You made them order pancakes from the menu, already savoring the taste in your mouth. Oh, I want to taste actual pancakes right now. Maybe a date tomorrow at the local restaurant will perk you right up.

"We’re sharing, right?" Jake asked—and watched as they bickered over the last bite. Your sim let him have it, just to see him smile.

Then, you clicked Flirt again.

"You’re even cuter when you’re obviously stealing my food."

Jake Sim nearly choked on his coffee.

"Yah! Rude!" But he was laughing, eyes crinkling at the corners.

That's how it definitely was. So Jake Sim.

With a quick glance, your Romance bar was so close to full.

Thinking about it, if it becomes full... does it translate to something else? Scrolling through Reddit, Sim sites, and others, it definitely looks like it.

Do it. Just do it. There's no time like now.

You hovered over First Kiss, hesitated, then—

Click.

Your sim leaned in. In your head, you could just imagine Jake’s breath hitching.

And then—

A soft ding, pink sparkles swirling around them as their lips met. Love chiming happily in the air.

You let out a breath you didn’t realize you’d been holding.

"Finally." ˚　　✦　　.　. 　 ˚　.　 . ★⋆.　　✦　.　　.　 ˚　.　　✦　˚ 　　 ˚　.˚　

A week later (in-game, at least), Jake Sim moved into your sim's house.

You spent hours designing their shared home—a cozy two-story with a big kitchen, a record player in the living room, and a bedroom with one bed (because why waste space on two?).

Spending hours on finding the best CC, you could almost tell that the home you were building was a complete copy of where you were currently at.

To your surprise, even your phased-out office table had a model so similar online! Doesn't matter if you paid almost $10 for the Patreon, you're putting a masterpiece in your abode. Real or not!

In the kitchen you based so well on yours, Jake Sim kept burning every meal he tried to cook. Clicking over to your busy sim, it walked straight to where you led them and made them take over. If there were only voices, it would definitely be just like you—teasing him as he dramatically collapsed onto the couch.

"I give up. Cooking is evil." That line just rang randomly in your head.

You were belching with laughter as you saw your sim setting a plate in front of him.

"Good thing I like taking care of you." You mumbled as you set your foot up on your chair.

Just then, your favorite sims kissed right in front of you.

You may have squeaked at the sight. Just a little. ˚　　✦　　.　. 　 ˚　.　 . ★⋆.　　✦　.　　.　 ˚　.　　✦　˚ 　　 ˚　.˚　

Then came the neighbors.

The Landgraabs showed up with their usual terrible fruitcake, and your sim and Jake stood there, awkwardly nodding as Nancy rambled about property values.

Then, out of nowhere, Nancy was definitely trying to flirt... with your sim!?

"You know, you’re very attractive," you could just imagine Nancy batting her eyelashes at your sim.

Your jaw dropped.

HELL. NO.

You immediately made your sim grab Jake’s hand and kiss him right in front of her.

If this was real, you'd know Nancy’s smile would've dropped then and there. She would've just turned and stormed off like the diva that she is.

Jake Sim burst out laughing. "That was amazing."

Your sim smirked. "Told you I only have eyes for you." ˚　　✦　　.　. 　 ˚　.　 . ★⋆.　　✦　.　　.　 ˚　.　　✦　˚ 　　 ˚　.˚　

Weeks passed, and the day has come.

You’d been saving simoleons for weeks, scrimping on furniture and eating nothing but salad to afford the ring.

Finally, the day arrived.

You waited until sunset, directing your sim to lead Jake into the backyard, where you’d set up fairy lights and a picnic blanket.

Your palms were sweating. Both in-game and in real life. This was... uncharted territory.

With an insightful gaze, you turned to your screen.

Click. Propose

Your sim got down on one knee.

Jake Sim’s eyes widened.

"Jake… you’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Will you marry me?"

"Is that really how you intend to propose to me?" The soft, looming voice behind you finally let out his silky tone.

Your blood ran cold.

That voice. That laugh.

You whirled around—

And there he was.

Jake.

The real Jake.

With his arms crossed and his slightly damp hair, he grinned like he’d just won the lottery.

Your heart stopped.

"H-how long have you—?!"

"Long enough," he said, stepping closer. "I saw the entire playthrough. The bad cooking, the worse flirting, Nancy’s disastrous attempt at homewrecking—"

Your face burned. "Oh my god." You rolled a small distance between you and the desktop you were so quietly engaged with earlier.

Jake laughed, resting his chin on your shoulder as he continued to peer at the screen, where his sim was still frozen mid-gasp.

"Well?" He nudged you. "Aren’t you gonna make him say yes?"

With shaky hands, you clicked Accept Proposal.

Jake Sim tackled your sim in a hug, spinning him around as confetti rained from nowhere.

The real Jake chuckled, his warm breath heating your temple and pressing a damp kiss to your cheek.

"Cute. But next time… maybe ask the real Sim, yeah?"

You turned to him, heart hammering. "So… does that mean…?"

He winked. "Figure it out, Sim Master."

You swear your heart exploded right at that moment. Oh, you just know... Jake Sim will be the cause of all your deaths. That many.

EN—D

Simpishly's Salad Dressing Legacy Challenge

Sims In Bloom: Generation 2 Pt. 166 (Here's to the Birthday Girls!)

Cousins Lavender Gordon and Betta Bell were born just days apart, and they turned five together while Betta stayed with her mother, Holly, and grandmother, Daisy, at the Gordons' home in Brindleton Bay.

To commemorate their shared growth spurt, they posed for a silly selfie in the front yard. As it should be, the family was together. Even Ash was home, and this was perfectionist Lavender's favourite gift of all.

She didn't even mind that they didn't have a bigger party - Lavender thought parties created anticipation, and too much anticipation might lead to disappointment. But her family was too preoccupied with Ash's custody issues and preparing for the arrival of her baby brother to throw a party, anyway.

Cheerful Betta talked excitedly about her cousins coming to stay at her family's loft in the city for a sleepover, but this weekend they were content to stay home and spend time together.

A light spring rain filled the breeze with the mossy scent of petrichor, and they gathered outside to take in the fresh air of Sable Square. When the baby kicked to join the family festivities, Betta curiously felt her Aunt Heather's growing stomach.

"Are you going to have another baby, too, Mommy?" Betta turned to Holly with curious eyes.

"If you want a little brother or sister, you and Tetra might have to convince your father. He's really happy with the two of you."

"But when great-uncle Karl and great-uncle Mortimer move to Willow Creek, we'll have more room for a baby!"

Holly laughed. "You don't have to convince me, kiddo. Talk to your Dad."

"So, how is life in the city for you?" Daisy asked her grandson, trying not to show her distaste for the Landgraabs while she made conversation.

"It's fun, Grandma. I don't like some of the kids at my school, but I don't have to talk to them. Nan and Papa make us feel safe there. Papa's engineering firm is even working on time travel with biometrics so criminals like Marco Peralta won't be able to use it!"

The adults looked between one another with stunned glances. Heather silently fumed; Judge Marlow had told them to avoid discussing ghosts or time travel with their son, but the Landgraabs, as ever, thought themselves above rules everyone else had to follow.

Worse, the Landgraabs were probably responsible for the biometric device used by the slippery time thief Felix and Lilith had gone to 1920 to try to find.

"What's wrong, Mom? Isn't it a good thing to make time travel harder to use?"

She nodded quickly to hide her frustration. "Absolutely. Of course."

Conrad turned his attention to the dogs. He dressed warm to take them out to run around, bringing his phone to update Felix on the latest developments with a video chat.

"I thought you'd want to know it looks like Landgraab Engineering is already working on a biometric device, according to Ash."

"Of course they are. I'll look into it, see if they're breaching the patent. If they are, I'll hopefully be able to shut them down. Oh, by the way, you're on speakerphone. Lilith's haggling with the wedding venue over email right now."

"Hopefully? Hey Lilith."

She called back warmly as the newly-engaged attorney sighed. "I know I'm good at what I do, but the Landgraabs are the Landgraabs."

Conrad frowned. "So, what else is going on in your part of the world?"

"I'm still trying to find a charger that will work on this phone Maude left for us. We wanted Emit to take it to the future, but he said their tech is too advanced and the phone won't work in his time, either. They got rid of cell phone towers centuries ago, apparently."

"I ran a search through the police database for Robin Banks and didn't find anyone matching your description."

"I didn't think you would. I think she's from the future. Maybe not too far into the future if the Landgraabs are already working on biometric time travel."

"Maybe Banks is an alias, or a married name," Conrad brainstormed, as another idea dawned on him entirely. "I think I know who you could talk to about getting into that phone..."

When he returned home, he grabbed a piece of birthday cake while Lavender played with Mayor Whiskers in the kitchen. "Are you going to have a piece of your own cake?"

Lavender shook her head, pulling a piece of leftover cheesecake from the fridge, instead. "This one has no icing, Daddy."

That night, Ash braved a chilly evening at the chicken coop in the yard, helping hatch a new chick he decided to name Coolbeans. He never had opportunities like this is San Myshuno, and he missed listening to the sound of crickets in the brush lining the walking paths around the square.

Wanting to be responsible like her big brother, the next morning Lavender went outside in her pajamas to tend the insect farm. But she ignited a spigot of biofuel, and I legitimately thought I was about to lose my Gen 3 heir but the fire went out thank goodness!

She calmed her nerves from the rapid flames by listening to music from the Grimophone in the living room, and this encouraged Heather to pass down a gift she'd carried in her inventory for decades. Watcher knows why - perhaps Lavender was always destined to be a violinist, and when her dad Neal dug up this child's violin way back in Gen One, he just knew Heather should hold onto it.

"I know how much you love sounds. This might be a sound we all have to get used to, but I hope you enjoy making beautiful music with this one day. Hopefully, it keeps you away from the insect farm for at least a few more years."

Perfectionist Lavender was excited to focus on mastering the instrument, but her early attempts were squeaky and wrought with missed notes. She couldn't grasp everything as easily as her brother, but she was determined not to fade into his highly accomplished shadow.

Undeterred by the noise in the backyard, Lavender's Aunt Holly could still find a way to break into a meditative yoga pose just feet away. In truth, Lavender sounded awful, but Holly liked violin, and she liked supporting her niece's burgeoning interest even more.

With instrument in hand and hours of practice quickly under her belt, Lavender dreamed of being an artistic prodigy.

But would her perfectionism and drive to follow in her genius brother's footsteps help or hurt her along the way? ->

<- Previous Chapter | Gen 2 Start | Gen 2.1 Summary

Gen 1 Start | Gen 1 Summary

NOTE: With Ash and Lavender fully five years apart, I do have a height preset for Ash but I'm sort of afraid to use it. I know, why download it, etc. But it's there for side sims who need to be tall or short for the plot, for the most part, and I don't want to get too reliant on the preset for storytelling because from what I can tell once it's applied and I save, I can't take it back without removing the cc itself. All that to say that's why they're the same height at ten and five years old at the moment!

NOTE 2: Every age up trait the heir gets comes from the In Bloom Challenge guidelines (the freedom I have is when they gain those traits), but I've tried to show toddler Lavender both into music as well as books, hence the violin skill she must master. She's also the type to get deeply disappointed when the perfect plan she has in mind plays out differently (like finding out she's getting a baby brother instead of a sister). Perfectionism being a bit of a response to her accomplished brother felt like a great base to build Lavender's character on!

FUN FACT: Lavender aged up twice - once for real and once because I had to reshoot Betta, who initially aged up during a stay over and I couldn't edit her randomized look (a medieval cc peasant nightgown and some gumboots!) without cancelling the event. The fun fact is, both times, Lava aged up randomly with lavender-coloured hair - once with an EA swatch and once with cc. I love this because it's been my plan to have her dye her hair when she's older like her namesake grandmother (Conrad's mom) since she aged up to infant and got Heather's hair colour. It's like the game just knew.

Second Round - Day Eleven (Gonk) 2 of 2

@sleepyselkiesims, @sanitysims, @bakersimmer, @invisiblequeen, @abbysimsfun, @fallin4fiction - Sim creators and co-writers

Results based on charisma skill level

Nicola (1.93)

Kristina (2.14)

Evelyn (2.64)

Yasmine (2.91) - Wins date

Arista (3.11)

Nephinae (3.33) - Bonus points

Nicola: I really wanted to win, but I had so much fun dressing up anyway. Producers said they'd send me the negatives so I could get a few of the shots developed back home

Evie: Well, this was still fun...

Kristina: Everyone looked really good and I think that's nice. But Nephinae truly did look incredible, so I get it!

Evie: I hope the group challenge is something I can get a date from

Kristina: We'll do our best

Yasmine: *surprised* I'm third yet I won? Where's the two at? Get it, because one(won), two and three...

*crickets*

Yasmine: Note to self, keep studying comedy.

Nephinae: If there's ONE THING I DO NOT PLAY WITH, it is DRESSING UP!!

Arista: I really put my heart into this one... I'm glad it showed

Nephinae: And second is a great result. If you look at the challenges this round you've been tied first once and second twice

Arista: I don't suppose I'll get any bonus points for being second twice though

Nephinae: There's still another challenge, it could be perfect for you

Yasmine decided for this round she'd like to visit the local cafe for her date.

Deanna: Do you think you're mostly lucky or unlucky?

Yasmine: I consider myself lucky and the luckiest thing for me is that I’m still here with you.

Deanna: *blushes* That's so sweet

Yasmine: I'm glad you weren't put off by my costume performance

Deanna: Not at all! I thought it was nice you couldn't pick just one outfit to show your love of the earth

Deanna: Can we get deep for a bit? My family believe in the watcher but I know not everyone does. Do you believe in fate, you know, destiny? Or do you think we're all at the mercy of some watcher?

Yasmine: I think we create our own way in the world

Deanna: Any reason for thinking that way?

Yasmine: I just think it’s sad if everything was predestined to be the way it is. We have power to change things

Deanna: I like the idea of being able to change

Deanna: Say you can live anywhere. Where would you live?

Yasmine: Tomarang because it would be nice to live somewhere outside of Simerica

Deanna: I've enjoyed the time since we moved from Willow Creek

Yasmine: Also I heard they have tigers there and I would love to see one in real life

Deanna: Same! And it's a wildlife sanctuary so you know the tigers would be well looked after

Yasmine: *smiles* Yes! A lot of progress is being made with zoos shifting towards conservation

Deanna: I have to say I like being in Tartosa because it's close to my family. I could be persuaded to move if it was to somewhere stable, not constant packing and unpacking

Yasmine: I would love to live in Tartosa if you choose to stay here

Deanna: You wouldn't find it too confining?

Yasmine: I could experience the beach and see the beautiful scenery it has to offer! Also we'd be in the first world of love with someone special, what's not to like?

Deanna: *smiles* But we'd have to visit Tomorang to see those tigers

Yasmine: So long as we can find an eco friendly way to travel

When everyone is back at the villa it's time to work on their skills. While some challenges are more up to luck, there are some that are influenced a lot by skill. This is the last chance they have to study before the group day challenge, and the next round if they advance.

Nicola and Arista choose to get stuck in to some nectar making, how do you like them apples? Evelyn works on her research and debate skill in the mirror while Kristina chooses to bring up her charisma skill. The date seems to have left Yasmine feeling adventurous as she reads up on rock climbing. Nephinae picks the broader discipline of fitness, she ended up getting a rock climbing date so maybe she's not as bad as she thinks.

Devin: You doing alright De?

Deanna: Not too bad

Devin: How was the date?

Deanna: I had fun, Yasmine is such a unique person, it's great getting to know her

Devin: But no sentiments?

Deanna: I don't know what's wrong with me *sighs*

Devin: Don't be sad! There's still more dates and everyone has off days

Deanna: I just worry I'm letting the contestants down

As it's the groups last day together before the group challenge, final dates, and commencement ceremony, we again head to the spa. Reece (Deanna's best friend) welcomes everyone and escorts them to the meditation area in the back garden. There he leads a guided meditation

Reece: Close your eyes and become aware of your breathing... picture a place that makes you feel calm. It might be the beach, the woods, behind a beloved screen or in front of one...

Reece: Repeat to yourself after me... my success or failure does not change that I deserve kindness

In all it's a very chill meditation. Reece somehow gets a boost to his gardening skill? Yeah I don't understand the mechanics either.

After yoga it's time for dinner, grilled by Deanna herself. The group moves to the picnic area.

Yasmine: These burgers look great

Evelyn: And they're tasty

Watchers note: I'm sorry, I forgot their official name. They're the type that Marta made for her family ofrenda, I think originally from the Dominican Republic?

Arista: I like that we get some relaxing time

Kristina: The whole day has been pretty relaxing, I mean we got pampered this morning

Nicola: I'm just glad we can get proper manicures

Deanna: I don't really do much fancy with my nails

Nephinae: It's hard to have long nails when you work with your hands

Nicola: Any hints on the group challenge Deanna?

Nephinae: She probably can't tell us

Deanna: Well... we'll be going out of Tartosa again

Yasmine: Maybe Evergreen Harbor! We could have a dumpster diving challenge

Arista: *visibly disturbed* Ick

Kristina: Try not to worry about a date Evie, I mean you kissed Deanna, that will have boosted your score

Evelyn: I hope so. I'm really enjoying spending time with everyone here

When the food is finished the group get to experience the main reason for the spa trip - a chance to relax and let go of stress or tension from the competition.

Everyone gets a face mask! Some get massages, some steam in the spa and other relax in the massage chairs. Autonomy is set to full and Deanna always starts in the massage chairs, since those relaxing in the spa normally start chatting pretty quickly.

Unfortunately a particularly avid fan makes their way to the sauna and I have to delete them… which forces everyone to reset, oops… Those in the sauna stand there for a bit before figuring out what they want to do. Kristina contemplates some yoga as a class is starting soon, while Nicola leaves the sauna to chat to Yasmine.

It seems Kristina isn't the only one working on cheering Evie up, Nephinae gives her a big hug! Then a fright? But Evie laughs it off so I guess she didn't find it too upsetting.

While that's going on Kristina and Deanna talk on either side of the pair, can they even hear each other?

In the end though Kristina decides to talk to herself for a bit. Deanna and Arista sit and chat with the rest of the group. Overall they've bonded well, and I think there are some solid friendships among these contestants.

Save File links!

Hey y'all! Just thought I would repost the links to my Save Files since I've noticed a spike in downloads of my saves and I'm assuming there are a bunch of Simmers out there who just got the game or some new packs over the holidays and are looking for more content!

If you only have base game, this one is for you:

Please note that the game WILL tell you that the save requires extra packs and TRUST ME that that is untrue! Everything was built with base game only and all Sims were created in CAS with base game only. The game says it requires other packs because I have other worlds in my save, there are random objects in the worlds like meals that sims cooked while I play tested that are not relevant to the game, and a weird glitch where a Sim will spawn in CAS wearing, say, a shoe from City Living and the game will continue to say the Sim is wearing that shoe even after I've changed it (so frustrating). It also does include some not base game things like degrees, clubs, or calendar events in the save that will not affect your game if you don't have the corresponding packs. Everything in the Base Game Save will function just fine if you only have base game (and will have some fun bonuses if you have extra packs).

If you have some additional packs, but not too many, try my Limited Packs Save:

It currently incudes:

Willow Creek - built with base game only

Oasis Springs - built with base game only

Newcrest - built with base game only

Copperdale - built with base game plus High School Years and Parenthood

StrangerVille - built with base game and the StrangerVille pack

Brindleton Bay - built with base game plus Cats and Dogs

Del Sol Valley - built with base game plus Get Famous

Please note that you don't have all of those packs, you can still download this save! The game will say it requires all those packs to play, but in reality it will just not include the worlds associated with the packs you don't have and the game should still function just fine. I think it will still include the households associated with those worlds you don't have in the bin (I'm not sure - maybe someone who downloads this one can tell me!), but if so you can just delete them so that your game isn't populated with a bunch of half-dressed Sims lol.

If you have lots of packs and are into horror/Halloween/spooky stuff, try the Spooky Save!

With rentals:

Without rentals:

Happy Simming!

SCREAM LEGACY CHALLENGE: “WHO’S THE KILLER?”

No mods required, but storytelling mods (like Meaningful Stories, Relationship Cheats, and Slice of Life) enhance gameplay.

Must start with 8 Sims in a household — each one filling a horror/slasher archetype.

STARTING CAST: Archetypes

Create a cast with these (or roll randomly):

The Final Girl – Neat, Bookworm, Good (Aspiration: Bestselling Author or Academic)

The Jock – Active, Bro, Self-Assured (Aspiration: Bodybuilder)

The Mean Girl – Snob, Self-Absorbed, Materialistic (Aspiration: World-Famous Celebrity)

The Outcast – Gloomy, Loner, Creative (Aspiration: Painter Extraordinaire)

The Comic Relief – Goofball, Clumsy, Cheerful (Aspiration: Joke Star)

The New Kid – Erratic, Insider, Paranoid (Aspiration: Friend of the World)

The Secretive One – Hot-Headed, Loner, Kleptomaniac (Aspiration: Public Enemy)

CHALLENGE RULES:

Week 1: The Setup

Build relationships between all 8 Sims.

Have your “Final Girl” keep a journal or write novels.

Someone gets prank called at 3am (use in-game phone or drama system).

Set curfew if teens. Someone breaks it.

Optional: Create a custom townie dressed as Ghostface to stalk them.

Week 2: Suspicion & Scares

Randomly assign one Sim to be the killer using a randomizer. (You don’t get to control them directly.)

Every 3 days, “someone dies” (use MCCC, or move them out and mark as "dead").

The killer must build their Mischief skill and get into fights.

The group holds a party. Someone confesses a secret.

Week 3: Paranoia & Drama

Sims start turning on each other. Negative relationships form.

The killer fakes being attacked.

Final Girl must max Logic or Writing skill by the end of the week.

New love triangles or betrayal emerge.

Week 4: The Finale

One last party. The killer must try to “trap” the survivors (lock doors, remove exits).

If the Final Girl survives and confronts the killer (fight & wins), she survives and wins the challenge.

If the killer defeats everyone? They move to a new town... and the legacy continues.

OPTIONAL TWISTS:

Ghostface Legacy: Each generation has a new killer with a twisted connection to the past.

Scream Queens: Start a sorority and mix in more Mean Girl chaos with a scream twist.

Meta Mode: Each week, one Sim becomes self-aware that they’re in a horror challenge (erratic behavior mandatory).

DEATH IDEAS (Non-lethal gameplay optional)

Cowplant accident

Fire during a party

Electrocution via sabotage

Starvation (locked room)

Murphy bed or ladder mishaps

Tragic clown visit

By Shon Gableton | Published by SNN

WILLOW CREEK, Americreek (SNN) - - Queen Katherine I and Prince Rainier, Prince consort, just returned from a visit to the United States and the White House on a goodwill tour. During this five-day visit, the royal couple were hosted by President Paulina McNally and First Gentleman Prescott McNally at the White House. Queen Katherine stayed in the Rose Bedroom while Prince Rainier stayed in the Lincoln Bedroom.

Queen Katherine has shown off a more adventurous side of her wardrobe in vintage pieces, and custom made dresses during her royal tour of the United States of Americreek this week, mostly by famed designer @rustys-cc.

DAY ONE

LANDING IN THE US IN COLORS OF THE FLAG

As they arrived at Reinhart Airport in the RAF Voyager jet to kick off their tour, Her Majesty touched down on her trip in a bright blue outfit by designer @rustys-cc while Rainier opted for a grey suit and tie.

The Queen also carried a scallop trim clutch by @theroyalsims and wore Adaline's Wedding brooch. In a nod to the Americreek flag, Queen Katherine paired her gorgeous cobalt blue dress with @dallasgirl79's 'Christian Louboutin Iriza' pumps in the same shade.

Katherine and Rainier were greeted on the tarmac by Willow Creek Governor, Jamal Tompkins and US Secretary of State, Rachel Pitt.

Their first stop was the White House to meet with President McNally and the first gentleman, and settle in their rooms. The president is in a crucial race for re-election in November against Republican challenger, Harold T. Dixon.

In a statement, Buckingsim Palace stressed this as a 'goodwill tour' not a State visit, which warrants official public ceremonies, and state receptions. Royal/goodwill tours are less formal visits than a state visit to another country, with a lesser emphasis on ceremonial events.

DAY TWO

VISIT CACAO FARM IN NEWCREST

The Queen once again showed she's mastered the art by donning the colors of Americreek's flag on day two of her US tour with Prince Rainier.

They kicked off the second date of their tour by indulging their love of music and chocolate as they were shown around a family-run cacao farm in the coastal town of Willsimsburg.

Dressing like the Americreek flag, Kate donned a §500 blue and white polkadot midi-dress by @sentate, for the occasion. To add an extra touch of blue, Her Majesty donned §55 statement Aquamarine earrings from trendy brand @glitterberrysims. And she recycled her trusty nude platform wedges by @dallasgirl79, her go-to footwear for any summery events or outings.

During their visit to the Che 'il chocolate farm, Kate couldn't resist the "amazing" smell wafting in the air as she tried her hand at grinding nibs (crumbled dried cacao beans) with a mortar and pestle, a task typically performed by sims women in the rural communities of Latin Americreek.

And though Prince Phillip, Princess Grace, Prince Michael, and Prince Samuel were thousands of miles away, they were at the forefront of the Queen and Prince consort's minds, with Kate admitting, "I think our children will be very jealous," as they dipped tortilla chips into a chocolate fountain and sampled hot chocolate made from the organic farm.

DAY THREE

VISITED THE ANCIENT MAYAN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE OF DEL SOL VALLEY

The Queen dressed for the occasion as she embarked on a trip to the ancient Mayan archaeological site in the jungle during day three of the tour, as she joined Prince Rainier on a visit to an ancient Mayan site in Del Sol Valley.

She arrived in green trousers, paired with a simple white t-shirt, Ray Ban 2140 sunglasses by PauleanR and canvas boots.

The prince matched Her Majesty and dressed in casual neutrals.

Kate and Rainier later went deeper into the jungle and took part in a jungle survival skills lesson with the US Army Training Support Unit.

DAY FOUR

WHITE HOUSE GIFT EXCHANGE AND RECEPTION

President McNally exchanged gifts with Queen Katherine in an East Room ceremony at the White House in Willow Creek.

Her Majesty wore a repeat, but in purple, of the Somerville Coat Dress by @warwickroyals​ she wore to the 2023 Service of Thanks.

The Queen presented President McNally with a set of silver-plated horseshoes and a leather bound version of "Americreek Is Lost," a copy of the essay written in 1882 by King Albert II analyzing the causes and the effects of the Americreek Revolution.

The President gifted Queen Katherine and Rainier, Prince consort a Steuben crystal flower bowl engraved with quotations from William Shakesime and a framed print of an 1897 newspaper illustration depicting four horses pulling a carriage through Newcrest.

US Senator Mitch McCorkle also presented Her Majesty a pair of Gold Butterfly earrings, a gift on behalf of the US Senate.

Showing she can also dress up to, later in the day Her Majesty sported a §2,500 vintage yellow gown by designer @rustys-cc for an evening reception in celebration of Her Majesty's visit, which she paired with the Mary Beth of Gibralsim Diamond bandeau, Pearl choker by @batsfromwesteros, and Gold Butterfly earrings gifted to her by the US Senate earlier in the day.

One of the most recognizable bracelets the Queen wore is a Vintage LEP bracelet by renowned jeweler, S-Club. Gifted to Zarah, Queen Dowager (then Queen consort) by the US Senate during a goodwill tour with husband, Edward II, in November 1952.

The bracelet features several design elements that symbolize peace and hope. The scrolling link sections have a four-leaf clover design, a floral motif that primarily symbolizes good luck, so the Queen may have opted for this bracelet in tribute to the start of her reign.

DAY FIVE

FLIGHT TO WINDENBURG

Queen Katherine and Rainier arrived at Lucas Reinhart III International Airport as they depart Americreek and board a flight back to Windenburg.

After her whirlwind tour of Americreek, Her Majesty still found time to showcase her fashion credentials.

As she departed Americreek for Windenburg, the Queen sported a vintage red @rustys-cc sweater she bought while studying at the University of Britechester, where she met Prince Rainier over a decade ago.

Buckingsim Palace announced today that The Prince consort, as chair of the Commonwealth Study Conference, will visit Dacana next week on a private working tour. The trip is the first visit overseas the Prince consort will make without the Queen.

I love your townie makeovers! Which one is your favorite and least favorite you’ve done?

Hey there, thank you so much! Apologies in advance for this long winded response to what should be a simple question, lol.

It's kind of hard to say because there are soooooo many freaking sims and my level of satisfaction varies wildly from 'I'm obsessed and irrationally attached' to 'what were you thinking and did you even try". I don't think I could choose a single fave so here's my top 3 of each:

FAVORITES

Candy Behr - the color palette of the dress felt perfect for her and the hair is now exclusively hers in my game. for some sims my vision is just there along with the items to fulfill it and i've got lotsss of ideas for her full lookbook.

Don Lothario - the icon, the legend. his looks are actually mostly finished because it was just so easy to turn him into the chick magnet he's meant to be. there aren't enough outfit slots for all the looks i could give him.

Gemma Charm - not too sure why i love her so much, maybe just because she's recent lol. i did feel like i struggled with a lot of the occults - her included - but when i got there it felt right. i feel like filling out her wardrobe will be tough, but all in good time.

LEAST FAVORITES

Cassandra Goth -and honestly the whole goth fam but shhh i'm always intimidated because of how iconic she is and when i was doing willow creek i really didn't have a vision. nothing i tried really spoke to me so i knew i'd need to let her simmer more and revamp her later. since then a couple of cc sets have come out that screaaaam cassie so i'm actually itching to give her another try.

Faye Harris - there's a theme in these choices of not having the elusive *vision* of the sim. she's a prime example of a pattern that emerged through this process: if i'm not in a deep deep love with their hair the look is most likely not going come together the way i hope. nothing felt just right so i settled on something to keep progressing and imagine she'll be quite different after another pass.

Caleb Vatore - another icon, only i do have the vision.....just not the pieces that match said vision. he is suffering primarily from the injustice suffered by all masculine frame dressing sims in my game - a lack of quantity and variety in custom content. shopping will be in order through the lookbook round because it was a struggle all the way through for the mens.

3.103 Every day I'm hustlin'

For the next week, I hustled harder than ever. I went to every spa I knew of and taught 2-3 classes a day. I even went back to our gym in Willow Creek to see about teaching, but they had a full-time instructor. We were in no way hurting financially, but I hadn't worked since we got engaged. And honestly? My work activities slowed significantly when I moved in with Sophia. I wanted to spend time with her and be home when she arrived, but she got off work so early it just threw off my whole day. The money tree was in progress and my SimTube video was still doing great, so I didn't have to work so hard. But I felt compelled to, especially after our last conversation about the money tree and my family history. I had to ensure my family would be set up for success by doing any and everything I could while I had few obligations. I didn't enjoy getting home late and seeing my wife only a few hours a day, but I was willing to sacrifice for a short while.

One morning, I woke up and caught Sophia doing push-ups outside. When we chatted on Social Bunny back in the day, she always talked about how much she loved fitness, but I never saw evidence of that when I moved in. Her job sucked the life out of her, leaving her too physically and emotionally drained to do the things she loved. But she was free now and started prioritizing her health and wellness. Her delicious curves would start slowly disappearing, and I mourned my loss but took solace in knowing she'd be happier and healthier.

An idea fell on me, so I went outside to greet her.

"Good morning, my sweet."

I grabbed her hand and kissed it so over-the-top dramatic like they did in the old movies.

"You're awfully romantic this morning!"

That was a new one. I never saw myself as a romantic.

"I'm going to teach at the Desert Bloom Resort today. Would you like to come?"

"Really? You want me there?"

I chuckled.

"Why wouldn't I?"

"I don't know... Some sims get nervous about friends and loved ones seeing them in action."

"Oh. Well, that's definitely not me, seeing as I used my friends and family to get started."

"Okay then! Let me text Rashidah. She was gonna come by this afternoon, but I'll tell her to come later."

We ate, got dressed, and headed to the spa. The class was almost full, which made me happy, but I never had so many sims unwilling to try. Like, I knew everyone came with varying levels of fitness, and I never did complicated routines because of that. Alternate poses existed for that very reason, but half of my class just stood there. Why pay and not participate? It must be nice to have money to waste.

Sophia had taken a mat in the back, so I couldn't see her very well. But every time I caught a glimpse of her, she struggled. By the end of class, she looked miserable.

"Everything hurts," she said. "I pulled muscles I didn't even know I had!"

I didn't enjoy seeing her miserable, but her talking about muscles she didn't know she had made me chuckle a little. I knew just the thing to cheer her up.

"Come with me."

I led her upstairs to the massage rooms and found a masseuse who wasn't busy.

"Hi," I said.

"Oh, hey. You're the yoga guy, right?"

"Yeah, I'm Luca. This is my wife, Sophia. Would you mind if I borrowed your table? I'll pay if-"

"Have at it, bro. I get paid the hour. But if you don't mind, I'm gonna stay in the room. Can't let them see me slacking, ya know?"

"Sophia? Do you mind if she stays?"

"Not at all! This is so exciting and romantical!"

She changed into a towel and hopped on the table, and I attempted to melt away her pain.

I wondered why she thought it was romantic, though. Was it because of her history? Or was it mine? I had an unused skill, and my wife had a need. Was being a good husband romantic? Regardless, I was glad she enjoyed the massage. Too bad weren't alone, though. I could have massaged everything and made sure she had a very happy ending. But I behaved, and Sophia left feeling much better. Maybe I should get a table for the new house....

She wanted to check out the rest of the facility as she'd never been before, so I went downstairs to the gym. The punching bag made me remember me, Maia, and Dub's debate about the best exercise, and I told him I gained all my muscle from yoga, never lifting weights or punching a bag. I went a few rounds, and it was honestly kind of fun. I let out steam I didn't know I had and felt my muscles engaging and contracting so much I knew if I kept it up I'd be walking around looking like Llama Man. No disrespect to him, but the superhero look was not for me. The weights and punching bag would have to remain an occasional activity.

Rashidah came by later, just like Sophia said. I didn't want to be rude and ignore her, but I also didn't want to be all up in their business, so I stayed and chatted with them for a little while before excusing myself. It occurred to me I hadn't checked on the money tree in a while, so I hurried outside to see if it was okay.

Good thing I caught it when I did because it was full of weeds, and the leaves had withered. The soil was still pretty damp from my initial watering, so I guess the weeds were choking it out. I never aspired to be a gardener. Apart from Mama making me water and weed her soy plants, I didn't know a thing about it or care. But my family's future now required me to get on board. Luckily, I only had one tree to tend, not an entire garden. I could manage that for a lifetime of financial freedom.

My Stardew Valley project: Lots Layout plan in TS4

(This is not/will not be a save or a download as I use way too much CC for that, just a personal project and plan of lots I found suitable; I don't know how long this will take me or if I'll ever complete it but having a plan helps me so much to not get stuck later)

I'm sharing this in case it is handy to anyone wanting to do a Stardew Valley save in The sims 4 from scratch (lots off gallery are limiting with their sizes and needing specific lots, so I'm starting from zero unless a lot fits) without ugly set dressings or stupid backgrounds that don't make sense, and trying to group together the lots properly like they are laid out in the game so you can see them in the distance, or at least put them on an isolated lot with a clear surroundings if they have to be separated. It isn't perfect and is subjective and pack dependant but I spent a while today just laying out in my blank save (I use the srslysims blank save for this) where I wanna build what and who lives in each lot, so I'm sharing it in case it saves someone time or is useful Some lots are for a few sims living together to do two or more builds on one lot. This could possibly work with For Rent, but I don't dare try it lol. Others are just living alone. Others are just community. The main worlds I'm using are:

- Henford on Bagley:

The finwich area for the main Pelican town area ➡ 1= 1 Willow Lane (Sam Vincent Kent Jodi) + 2 Willow Lane (Hayley and Emily) these are here because of the river and the bridge leading "down to the beach" just everything is perfect for me. 2= Mayor's Manor, 1 River Road (Alex, George, Evelyn), 2 River Road (Pam and Penny trailer) this one is a little cramped and will have to be one next to the other but it can work. That way all these people live in the village centre. 3= Stardrop Saloon, maybe a little square if it fits, but probably not. 4= Harvey's clinic, Pierre's store. 5= Blacksmith and Library (+the little ice cream stand or market stall) 6= Joja Mart and/or Cinema (I'm doing both) 7= Bookseller with cute hot air balloon (this is random I wanted to do it, but it is usually just an empty area) 8= The farm 9= 24 Mountain road (Maru Seb Robin and Demetrius) 10= Quarry (set as generic) 11= Linus's tent 12= Adventurer's Guild and Mines (marlon gil and dwarf)

Willow Creek (Community Center)

It is on the big lot in willow creek, no surroundings or buildings, so It was perfect, and gives enough space to build the community center plus the childrens park and the natural area around it and it's by a river.

- Moonwood Mill as Cindersap Forest

I know it's a bit grungy and has industrial deco but I don't mind these buildings as they fit with the nature imo. It had the perfect amount of lots for what I needed, plus a river. 1= Wizards Tower 2= Travelling Merchant 3= Marnie's Ranch + Leah's Cottage 4= Krobus/Sewer (this is the main reason I chose this world and I know there isn't a beach but the sewer pipe with trash aesthetic and the large lot in the forest was enough for me) 5= Mouse Hat shop /Abandoned house

Granite Falls for Secret Forest:

I'm doing this one (using Zerbu's all worlds are residential) in Granite Falls in the National Park lot, I just liked how big it is, how tall the surrounding trees are, and that it has a little waterfall area.

Glimmerbrook as the rest of "Mountains" area (Railroad and Spa). I choose that lot of the railroad cause i can add a tunnel for the train with tool and it looks like its coming out the cliff

Sulani

Sulani as the Docks (with Elliots shack and Willy's shop) the build i've placed is from the gallery and is a water lot with the Night market (I really liked this and didn't want it separately) so I had to place it here. I do not actually like Sulani for this though, it is far too tropical and its on an island but I am forgiving it for the sake of having the beach lot. I wish Brindleton Bay had a beach lot near the docks would have been much better. You could change this and put it anywhere if you build your own beach as a pool but I hate doing that... In Sulani I'll also build all the Ginger Island stuff, but I still haven't played through that properly so I can't say what is going where yet.

Forgotten Hollow (witch's swamp/hut)

Forgotten Hollow as the witch's swamp /witch's hut area (again this is random but I wanna include it and make the witch for fun)

Oasis Springs as The Calico Desert

This large lot is perfect. It has a road, not too much going on around it except rocks and desert, and I'm gonna put everything here (Sandy's shop, Mr Qi's casino, and the desert trader outside). I will not be building the bus stop anywhere cause it is unnecessary. I forgot to mention but also the skull cavern might fit here or I'll do it on some other lot maybe OTHER INFO

Mods I'm gonna use to help the lots work as intended: I'm gonna play with littlemssams live in business mod to achieve the character being able to live on what should be a community lot and for it to still be functional, as well as chingyu's welcoming lot trait to avoid sims not being able to do what they want on these lots without being "innappropriate". For each of the lots and worlds I selected I spent time entering each and deciding which areas most closely resembled the areas from the game. For example if it had a lake or river nearby, or if the lot was big enough to build each thing. This could change but I think I'm happy with it. I might have to change some of this or make tiny builds to fit the multi build lots. Every single thing is super unfinished and empty, this is just my layout plan.

Conclusion: I hope this helps someone or if not and you even read this far that you like my idea :) If I forgot something or someone or said a name wrong, sorry, though I haven't fully finished the game yet. Basically I tend to get super overwhelmed and annoyed if there are stupid buildings or things that don't match, and am unable to just randomly plop any build anywhere like many players do due to obsessing over it not looking right around the build...maybe I'm a perfectionist or wish it was a blank world, but this is my next best thing. At least this was easier than my Cyberpunk save with way more foresty/countrysidish options 😅

@cronakillz's April CAS Challenge, vol. 1

1. create a clown! someone silly for april fools!

Even the best parents fuck up sometimes and forget to hire an entertainer for their 7-year-old's birthday party. The solution is to grab some discounted stuff from Party City the morning before the party and tell their grumpy teen son he can buy some new video games if he entertains his little sister and her friends for an hour. He sustained minimal injuries.

2. create a three hundred year old vampire, obsessed with modern human culture

Windenburgish nobleman vampire takes a multi-century coffin nap and wakes up in the modern day. His plan is to stalk the streets at night for plasma... until he discovers Windenburg rave culture and decides it's more fun to trip out every weekend and just eat plasma fruit when he gets hungry.

3. create a spy!

I mean... the best spy is one you'd never suspect, right?

4. create a sim from the 1960’s

An intrepid teen detective solving mysteries around town with the help of some friends in 1960's Willow Creek.

5. create a sim inspired by an easter egg

Thank god for those jeans because I really didn't have a good pair of shoes for him.

6. create a sim inspired by MySims

I never played MySims, but I checked the wiki and liked Nicole Vogue's vibe.

7. create a sim that is the spawn of a greek god

Hermes' daughter, who inherited her dad's calf muscles.

8. create a set of opposite aesthetic identical twins!

One loves high fantasy, the other loves gritty sci-fi. Still, there's nothing they love more than hitting up cons together in cosplay.

9. create a sim entirely in greyscale

Rich silent film star who DEFINITELY DID NOT KILL HER LAST THREE HUSBANDS. DEFINITELY NOT.

10. create a sim that is a world famous musician

Fame is already stressful enough when you don't go on stage sleep-deprived one night and bomb so bad that a stadium full of your own fans boo you. When that does happen... you go back to your dressing room and engage in some self-destruction.

Halloween Macaron

Hello, tombler!

Welcoming the spooky season, we're back with Vienna in Willow Creek! For the next few posts, we will be trying some scary snackies to celebrate the season. Today we'll be making two Halloween-themed macarons: jack o'lantern macarons and creepy eyeball macarons, both are made by @robinksimblr and can be downloaded here. Please be aware that you would also need to install Robin's Food Enabler for the custom recipes to show in your game.

A typical Parisian-style macaron is a sandwich cookie filled with ganache, buttercream, or jam. If made correctly, the cookies have a unique nougat-like, chewy texture, mildly moist but melts easily in the mouth. But, before we go further about the scrumptious treats, let's look at who decided to dress up for the occasion!

Vienna is dressing up as Trinity from the blockbuster series The Matrix. The dress and accessories are from @arethabee's part of The Glitch Collection. A very iconic collab between two big Sims 4 creator, and especially relatable for the spooky season. OK, let's get back to the cooking!

To make the French macarons, it's important to 'age' the egg whites in the fridge for at least 24 hours before starting the recipe. This will improves the eggs' elasticity during the whipping process.

Add cream of tartar to the aged egg whites and beat until very soft peaks form. Next is to add super-fine sugar and continue beating until stiff glossy peaks form. Vienna also added the food coloring during this process.

In another bowl, combine the almond flour and confectioners' sugar. Begin folding beaten egg whites in a circular motion. There's a whole process until you reach the macaronage stage but it's too complicated for me so I'll skip that 😂

To make the maracon shells, pipe the batter in 1.5 to 2 inch circles. Before we bake them, it's important to let the piped circles sit out until they're dry and no longer tacky, usually about 30 to 60 minutes. Then, bake at 325F or 163C for around 15 minutes.

After cooling, the shells are ready to fill and sandwich together. Two flavors of macarons we are making today are the jack o'lantern macarons with orange flavor and chocolate ganache filling, and the creepy eyeball macarons that come in both apple (green eyes) and blueberry (blue eyes) flavored fillings. Drawing each eyeballs into the macaron shell was an experience, for sure.

Time to try everything! It was honestly very good but Vienna already knew she was going to have a sugar rush after this self-indulgent treats.

A closer look to today's treats. The spiders are not edible and is only there for the vibes! We still have ample list of Halloween cc recipes, but for now, dag dag!

P.S. Detailed cooking process of macaron is taken from this article.

✨ plumdrop save file

i’m working on a save file!

plumdrop is my own little dream modded save, something i’ve been brainstorming for a while now. i actually tried starting it a few weeks back, but it didn’t quite click—I began with households and tried to find lots for them later, and honestly? it was too much at once.

this time, i’m flipping the process. i’m placing lots first (with my household ideas still in mind), and then dreaming up the sims who’ll live there.

since i’m not much of a builder, every lot is pulled straight from the gallery. i’m keeping track of all the creators, and while i’m not restricting by pack, i am tweaking things here and there if something’s missing or needs a little adjustment.

because this is a modded save, i’m also layering in details like custom lot traits, dress codes, and multi-functional venues. i use a mod to sort sims into world regions too—no more seeing bob pancakes taking a leisurely stroll through sulani. some areas will share townies, like oasis springs, strangerville, and ciudad enamorada, but others will stay more contained.

i’ll be giving all the maxis sims makeovers, adding in gallery households, and creating plenty of my own. this save will eventually be the home for all of my legacies and challenges, and while i might not be able to share it because of mods + cc, i still want to document the process here—to keep myself motivated and maybe even inspire someone else.

i’ve finished willow creek and started over on oasis springs after my computer crashed and wiped it all (rip). i might start hopping around a bit depending on the legacy i’m working on, but i’m really excited to see it all come together.

[7-oh-ta1]

My hot Sims 4 take is that I think the base game needs a HUGE new update. My focus would be on "Regions". You may say, region?? LISTEN.... I play with a mod called Home Regions. It has made my gameplay x10 more interesting, giving my Sims new npcs to interact with, and new conversations to have! It works extremely well with other mods to enhance the experience. It adds a limit that inspires creativity.

I think what would do a WORLD of good is if, with the gigantic amount of neighborhoods we have now, if the neighborhoods were broken up into "Regions". For example, Willow Creek, Copperdale, and Brindleton Bay all have very similar vibes. They could be in one Region.

These Regions could have defaults and then the player could customize fron there. For example, Forgotten Hollow could really be anywhere but in my game it's near Windenburg. The default could be the Willow Creek region, but I could move it if I so choose! Possibly, players may even be able to create their own Regions if the default amount is not enough.

In conjunction with this, the get to work dlc needs a huge refresh that reintroduces a type of "sub-hood" that has a police station, a hospital, and science lab for each Region. These subhoods could be generic, like "grassy area", "desert area", "island area", so that if the player creates a new Region, they can decide the terrain but within limits. These sub-hoods would make it possible to visit these locations at anytime and edit these lots, as well as gameplay reasons like your sick sim visiting the doctor or alien sim sabatoging the science lab.

Finally, the high school years dlc should add two new lots to the sub-hood, of course the high school building and the auditorium. Again, these can be generic buildings based off the terrain that the player can customize if they choose. When your teen goes to school in that region, the name will match the lot name of the high school. Rather than your kids on Mt. Komorebi attending fcking Copperdale like 🧍‍♀️ huh.... Also, the ability to have school uniforms or not should be a customization as well as what that uniform looks like. (Maybe even a dress code system? :3c)

Finally, I think University dlc should add a potential new lot. What I mean by this is that in custom Regions players can decide if they want a University in that sub-hood or not. It's not uncommon to move for college after all! There would also be the option to remove a University from a preexisting Region if you so choose. Britechester would have a looottt more free space with that sub-hood attached, huh?

Anyway, these are a few things that for me, would go a long way towards making my game feel more immersive and overall a better experience. Tell me why my Sulani mermaid is attending Copperdale High School??? Does she ride a boat to school???? As well as Sims coming from all over the world to work at Willow Creek hospital. Sometimes, boundaries are our friends :3
