Many of you would be aware of the problems I've been having with my SimParis save and the constant crashing. Anyway, last night when I opened my game I noticed rather a lot of speech bubbles coming from an empty residential lot close to the boutique where Roy and Anya are currently hanging. I zoomed in and nearly died. The lot was SWARMING with exotically garbed paparazzi! There must have been close to 100 of the bastards.

I reset the lot to get rid of them and then deleted them permanently using Nraas Register. I then used Register again to not allow Paparazzi.

And then of course I was able to happily play my game with absolutely no crashes for the next few hours. I now feel really bad for blaming the Boutique for my game crashes when obviously it was caused by the constant spawning of Paps. And Roy will be happy because he now gets to spend even more time there with Anya!! Yay!!

Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend! I've been a bit quiet this week. I've been working mandatory overtime and I also had to fill in for a co-worker this week as well as keep up with my own responsibilities. So I let my queue lapse. This is the first day I even turned my laptop on all week. I may be silent for a while as I think my gaming laptop is dying. Last time I used it was making some awful grinding sounds. So I'm hoping I can open it long enough to back my games so that I can transfer everything to a new laptop once I'm able to get one. For now I've resurrected an older laptop so that I can do some writing for when I can post again. So I'll be around to read and comment on all your posts. But for now I'm on hiatus.

I swear I am my own worst enemy.
I'm trying to think of a title for my new story but the only thought that refuses to leave my head is stupid and overly edgy and everyone will laugh at me because people are used to lighter, more comedic things from me and coming out of nowhere with a really sincere kind of dark storyline might turn people off, especially if the title sounds like an "I'm 14 and this deep" kind if thing.
😑 But like. 😑 It fits really well, actually. 😑 But it's also lowkey a spoiler. 😑 But also it's very embarrassing. 😑
What do?
Simblr storytellers, how do you come up with titles for your stories? And are you ever concerned people will think the title is silly? Or gives too much away? I am genuinely asking for advice.
Also for the like 8 people who read Rogue Town and are wondering, I am NOT abandoning it. I am at kind of an impasse yet again because I overwhelmed myself with certain things in it and I'm kind of taking a break from it until it sparks joy again. That story will have a conclusion, but it's not going to be quick unfortunately. I have a lot of insane shit going on in my real life and it's got me feeling kind of less thrilled about a really colorful sci-fi story with cute aliens. Idk, it's still my baby and I don't ever want to abandon it, but I feel like if I don't work on something else with different characters right now, I'm going to go crazy. Aiden will return. I'm not giving up on it because no one reads it. You'd actually have to pay me a large amount to never work on it again because I genuinely love it so much. Also I'm not abandoning the silly over-the-top stuff completely, and for those concerned, the new story will also have comedy but I want to do some darker themes too. I have been working on a character with my friend and I've fallen in love with the turn he's taken from where I expected him to go so I just want others to see that side of me too, you know? I have a comedic flair that people seem to enjoy, but I like to mix it with other things, too, which I don't feel like I get to explore enough. I'm not going all grimdark on you, so don't worry. My drama tends to be melodrama anyway so there'll still be something to laugh at. 😅

I'm putting my story in hiatus.
That's it. That's the post.
Just kidding, let me explain.
I have no idea when will EA update that damn occult eye bug, but I don't think I can wait it out, especially when I'm going to be busy this year (internship, graduating, adulting and all). To top it all off, my laptop is giving me problems, so I decided to hold off from playing any games, including TS4 (and TS3...and Warframe </3). I want it to last until I graduate and am able to get a job.
I'll still be here, of course, reblogging and interacting. My story would just be on pause. (Also, I need to keep an eye out for Isabella in @changingplumbob's BC).
If you want to reread my stuff, or finally catch up, you can check my Navigation Post for the links!
xoxo, Lana

Speaking of Deltarune, I've got a few dozen tabs of Chapters 3&4 art and theories open that I should really turn into a reblog queue. Not quite sure when I'll put it together, but expect a bunch of Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 spoilers incoming soon!

actually tbh I think I need to talk about my current project on here a little bit, just because it's living rent free in my head and dammit I'm going to make it pay up a little.
so I've been running a dnd campaign set in the Forgotten Realms for about a year at this point, and I wanted to set it somewhere other than the Sword Coast—problem is, that's the only part of the setting that got updated to 5e, so I've had to do a lot of digging around in older editions for research purposes, and uhhh...got really into Manshoon and Fzoul. and no, I don't actually care what anyone says (Ed Greenwood you can fight me on this actually), the subtext on the two of them is so loud and SO gay that it makes me a little insane? I'm normal about them. you know how it is.
anyway, the current fic project is a series of fics (some oneshots, some multichapter) set between 1257 DR and 1383 DR, tentatively entitled The Hundred Year Deception, just exploring that premise, that Manshoon and Fzoul were carrying out a secret romantic relationship while pretending to hate each other in public. series summary and current WIPs below the cut:
The Hundred Year Deception (series)
Manshoon of Zhentil Keep is many things—high lord, archmage, spymaster, nightmare—but above all else, Manshoon of Zhentil Keep is a liar. Fzoul Chembryl, high priest of the Black Altar, has made himself partner and accomplice in all of these falsehoods, and the one place the two of them can be completely honest.
Like a Bolt of Lightning from an Empty Sky
1257 DR
As a lord-prince of Zhentil Keep and heir to the seat of the First Lord, the young rogue Manshoon must prove his worth and right to his inheritance. When his quest goes catastrophically wrong and leaves him disabled and his companions unable to return home without disgracing themselves, he turns instead to a path that was denied to him—mastery of the Art of magic.
Back in Zhentil Keep, all is not well—the tyrannical Mulmasterite priest Ulsan Baneservant has seized control of the Dark Shrine and grasps for still more power within the city walls. Under his grinding heel, Fzoul Chembryl, a young cleric of Bane, seeks to push back against his new high priest's influence, without being executed himself as a heretic. As tensions within the city rise and enemies outside her walls pressage war, Fzoul finds himself chosen to right the balance of power—but not by his god. If Manshoon is to claim his rightful throne, he will need all the help he can get...before Ulsan ends his ambitions for good.
(at least 75k, rated M; endgame Fzoul/Manshoon/Chess, origin story)
Private Sanctums for Private Affairs
1339 DR
After much of the year spent abroad, Manshoon and Fzoul reconnect in the Tower High.
(~10k, rated E; Manshoon/Fzoul. this one's just smut)
To Raise the Dead from Untimely Rest
1357 DR
Set during the denouement of the novel Crown of Fire.
With the spellfire quest a total failure and at a cost too high to sustain, Fzoul and Manshoon regroup and tend to fresh wounds.
(~8k, rated T; Manshoon/Fzoul)

Wow.
I know I haven’t been on much lately — the urge to write comes and goes with the amount of other stuff going on in my life, though the muse never truly leaves. I’m still here, I still check in occasionally, and I still love the Tales community.
You all have made such a difference in my life. I’ve made fantastic friends, some of whom I’ve even gotten to meet in real life. Being a part of this group has brought me so much joy, laughter, wonderful writing, and cherished memories.
I cannot say enough thank yous. Thank you. You all are the best.

Hi Groovers! First of all, I'd like to say thank you for indulging me and coming along on the Vinnie and Georgina genesis journey! If you want to follow their story in its entirety here's the link: https://treason-and-plot.tumblr.com/tagged/vigina/chrono
Secondly, my game is now fixed and no longer crashing. Yay!
Thirdly, without going into too much detail this week has been a bit of a tough one due to the declining health of my 95 year old Uncle, for whom I am the primary carer. I know a lot of you are also carers and I don't need to elaborate about how challenging and demanding it is. I'm only mentioning it because the increasing demands on my time are unfortunately going to result in even fewer story posts than usual. I'm hoping to have some time this weekend for writing and updating but things are very unpredictable at the moment so apologies in advance if things don't pan out as hoped.
Anyway Happy Valentines everybody, I love youse all!

This week has been super busy so I haven't had time to open my game to get screen shots or play my game.
Since I don't have a new chapter for my TS3 story The Art of Being Yourself ready to post I'm going to continue with the reposting of my Reagan stories. Today will the conclusion to Eclipse and Jonah finally meets Cecil.
I'm hoping to have time to go in game and get screenshots for Imposter this weekend but no promises. If that doesn't happen we'll continue with the reposting of the Reagan stories.
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

While I sincerely hope that no tumblrpocalypse approaches, you can find me on bsky under the same name, and I am known to lurk in a few BG3 discord servers as well. 💖

So my legs broke.
As the post says I probably won’t be posting as frequently. I really can’t get into that state of mind with the pain of mine. Love y’all and hope to be back soon!

I'll be in semi-hiatus.
I'll still reblog stuff, and the CAS challenge I'm doing will continue posting until the 17th prompt (Shipwrecked) since it's queued. There is also the 26th prompt queued up, but let's hope I'll be back then. Not sure if I'll continue the challenge but yeah.
I think I'll still play the reapers reward, but you'll have to wait for me to post it because I'm literally losing my writing juice and I felt like the past update from last week's task was shit.
My stories would be put on hold while I'm in semi-hiatus.
I hope you all have a nice day/evening.
