Fandom Free Bingo - August Chaos, Mark II

For those of us that have been with us for over a year, you may recognise this.

Everybody deserves a month off. And so, last August, we decided to run August Chaos - premade, static cards, that y'all can take if you'd like, but without any sign up this month.

Given how intense this last month has been, we've decided to make it an annual thing. And so... August Chaos 2025!

Otherwise, the rules are as usual and can be found below!

From this month, fills from Bug Edition and prior will no longer be reblogged. This means that posts containing exclusively prompts from the below editions will no longer be reblogged on tumblr (masterlists are exempt from this); - Frosty  - Flight  - Valentines  - Wild  - Book Night  - Maritime  - Pride  - Plurality  - August Chaos 2024 - Bug

- Feel free to interpret the prompts however you wish - the world is your oyster! <3 Note: Terms with a stereotypically applied gender (e.g 'Princess', 'king') are not gender-restricted!

NEW! Import Vault Fixes @ DA2 Nexus

I've rebuilt her from scratch, bigger and better than ever. I've rewritten the entire vault. I've rewritten the godawful vault debug. All of it. I have gone, quite frankly, mad with power.

Also you can edit your imported variables from within the game. No more pesky save game editing required!

[ID: A screenshot of Hawke from Dragon Age 2 with "New! Import Vault Fixes" superimposed. On screen is the text "World Vault Debug" along with a dialogue wheel with the options "View warden variables," "View main plot variables," "View landsmeet & climax," "View more," "World Vault Manager," and "Exit debug."]

Mod Update - Buzzler's Scribbling Pad - Fixed, fixed more!

I updated my fix for the scribbling pad mod to make the Write Comic interaction show up properly. Before you couldn't write comics with it and a broken version of it with a missing string showed up under the menu with the other novels (a different problem to the original missing strings issue). So now that's gone away, and you can actually write/continue/scrap comics as you could on the computer :)

And in case you didn't know, to write comics you need either painting or street art skill as well as writing. Never done it before testing the fix for this issue :p

The file has been updated on MTS here.

❌Broken Mods Not Yet Updated for Patch 1.108:

Less Obsession

Smarter Self-Care

I'm going to update them as soon as possible. 💪 So many of the tunings in these two mods were edited so I have to re-do the mods.

I tagged some mods as required updates for adding compatibilities to traits/ skills/ minor features of the new pack on my spreadsheet but they are safe to be used in the game. My other mods and traits are compatible with the current patch. 

After fixing the rest of the broken mods, I will playtest with the pack more to see what extra features I can add to my mods with the new attraction system.

Mod Update: Club & Business Activity Expanded - MORE Business update!

Happy Simming, Simmers! After Business and Hobbies released, I tested my mod in the new system and found more opportuny, as well as bugs to be fixed! So here's a major update to the mod.

Bug Fixes:

Various Text and Images were missing from the first version, they're fixed in this new and improved update.

Tend Stall now officially works as intended.

WooHoo Business:

Apparently this is one of the most anticipated feature of WooHoo Addon, but it wasn't working before, now it is.

The present activity WooHoo will still work with restrictions, for Simmers who just want customers to be intimate with their partners and sleep at a hotel.

New activity has been added: WooHoo with Small Business Employees (for customers) and WooHoo with Customers (for employees). You need to pair them up so customers have employees to ask for WooHoo. Don worry, they won't ask for WooHoo from random janitors who was only assigned the task 'Clean'!

They're now fully autonomous, and your small business even earns money from it! Charisma, Fitness and Romance skills affect the payout.

As customers, you can expect to check in your favorite small business for a casual WooHoo, too!

Photo Studio:

I always wanted a way for my Sims to pay some Simoleons and take their photos. You can sort of simulate it with the updated Photography activity.

Employees will Tend Tripod along with Photo Studios now, and taking pictures for customers with tripods now earns them Simoleons. It just does not display on the text. Photography skill and Fine Arts Degree affect the final payout.

As a customer, you can see the employees Tend Tripod. They're just cosmetics and don't actually matter. You just strike a pose with your Pose Player and select Ask for Photoshoot either from a Tripod or the Ticket Kiosk. Selecting the photographer affects your payout.

Self service as a customer now also cost you Simoleons.

Fashion Studio:

The Make-Up Chair and Wardrobe Pedestal is probably the ACTUAL most asked feature in this update. It's HERE!

Your can assign employees the task Tend Make-Up Chair and Tend Wardrobe Pedestal. This is necessary for customers to find a hairdresser/cloth designer.

For NPC Customers, once you choose the activity Be Styled or Be Outfitted, you can just let the Make-Up studio or Clothing studio work in the background, and you'll earn money from it. Fame and Fine Arts Degree affect the final payout.

However, manually Offer Make-Up/Hairstyle/Outfit will earn your Sims more Simoleons. Manually Offer to Update Appearance on Wardrobe Pedestal also earns your Sim money.

If you want to also earn money from Offer to Update Appearance interaction on Make-Up Chair, use this mod by LittleMsSam.

As a customer, you can choose any interaction on the Make-Up Chair and Wardrobe Pedestal, and you'll be styled/outfitted for a fee! Note that only Ask to Update Appearance lead your Sims to CAS and allow you to customize, the other interactions are random.

Tarot Reading:

Life and Death allowed us to open a Tarot business, but not as a customer? This is fixed in the mod.

Front Desk Assistant:

This is so random but some kind Simmer asked for this feature. Requires Get to Work though. While the Front Desk is tended, customers will be automatically welcomed, helping you a tiny bit in customer rating.

Grocery Shopping:

The Get to Work Lice Freezer now works with Small Business! Stock up with snacks, fizzy juice, harvestables and farm products, and watch your business grow into local Sims-mart!

Works with Brazenlouts' Produce stand, too!

As a customer, you can also purchase ingredients stored in the retail fridge.

Occult Training:

Occult Training now earns you money based on your rank and length of mentorship.

Note that Occult Training is very strict on customers, so this might not be a good idea for long-term business.
