This is just One Guy's Onion and you don't have to listen, but honestly, the apocalypse aesthetic without the challenge still works for a BACC if you don't want to do the grindy tedious part.

as someone who used to be super into reading apocalypse challenges, everything getting easier and easier as time goes on can be a bit anticlimactic while actually playing it. as much as it makes sense for things to get better over time, the most apocalypse-y part of the challenge is mostly spent on 3x speed while your founder sleeps and works. lifting medicine first in particular turns it into like. okay what if we played a legacy where nobody does anything except play chess and eat rotten hot dogs in an ugly house.

(i have good things to say about them too, but you did ask to be talked out of it, so)

hahahaha, I appreciate the voice of reason here!!! I was actually thinking of doing military first, since i wanna use zombies, but I can see how the career grind would get boring after a while

my ideal challenge is probably some kinda BACC/apocalypse hybrid tbh, with multiple starting families and maybe incorperating the sun&moon sets... but I already have my MCC and BACC hoods! i think an apocalypse challence partially appeals for the aesthetic and partially bc it feels like a more "simple" challenge in comparison 😅 I'll probably go ahead and decorate a hood lol, maybe doing the building will get it out of my system 😂

Close encounters of the vampiric kind.

Previous / Next

My deepest gratitude to @simsdaughters for making me such a horrible old bitch (affectionate) and helping me workshop insults! Additional thanks to @asimplevampire and @crvptydgaming for Jude and Eurydamos.

Lilith: You’ll love this place. It’s upscale. Exclusive. Everyone there is either already a vampire, wants to become one, or wants to fuck one.

Elizabetha: Yoohoo! Lilith!

Lilith: [groans] Oh, God.

Helena: Holy shit, is that-

Lilith: [to Helena] Ignore her.

Elizabetha: Lilith, darling, I can tell when I’m being avoided. [narrows eyes] What on earth are you wearing? These hideous scraps of fabric modern humans call fashion leave nothing to the imagination!

Lilith: That’s the point, Elizabetha, and it proves particularly effective while on the prowl.

Elizabetha: Refined ladies do not prowl. They have servants fetch their meals for them.

Lilith: A pity you couldn’t find anyone to clean you up after. The quality of service is appalling.

Elizabetha: Oh, you have a shadow! Dressed in only slightly less scandalous rags! How charming! [to Helena] What’s your name, dearie?

Helena: I, uh-

Lilith: Leave her alone! And while you’re at it, why don’t you run off and let those mothballs you call friends know she’s strictly off-limits?

Elizabetha: [shouting] I find it hard to believe your brother permits you to parade yourself around like a common tramp.

Lilith: I don’t need my brother’s permission to do anything, you antiquated hag!

-

Helena: Uh… Lilith?

Lilith: [impatiently] What now?

Helena: My memory may be failing me, but I swear I once took a comparative literature class with that man.

Lilith: Ah, yes, Professor Jude Wilwright. The bane of UBrite’s existence, having yet to produce a manuscript of his closely guarded yet allegedly revelatory thesis on William Shakespeare’s true identity.

Helena: [incredulously] Another vampire. Right under my nose this whole time. Of course, I only ever saw him once or twice. His TAs ran everything.

Lilith: That brat beside him is Eurydamos. Wilwright’s attempting a biography of his Ancient Tartosan adolescence, without much progress, it appears. But what else could he expect from a surly immortal teenager? No more gawking, Helena. We’ve got better places to be.

Is this "where would you like to live", or "where would you actually live?"

I voted Belladonna Cove, but Sims 2 doesn't really have a town that's equivalent to my Beloved Hellhole. I live in a Rust Belt city that's got a great cultural scene, but is half gentrified hipster land and half neighbourhoods with more churches than grocery stores. BDC is the closest BG neighbourhood to that, but it still feels a bit too California for me, y'know?

If I had to pick one of the BG neighbourhoods... probably Downtown, tbh. I love Strangetown but I don't think the climate would agree with me, and I love Veronaville but I don't want to get beat up by a ginger.

[asimplevampire]

...Wow, someone actually tried to start discourse with me about my Chris Hatch post.

Buddy. You must be new here.

[asimplevampire]

Experimenting with @crispsandkerosene SimStandardMaterial shader to get "sequins effect" and omg it's so beautiful I'm crying

[asimplevampire]

The other thing is that... I am my ideal post transition self, but if you were going to make me in Sims 4, if you wanted accuracy you'd have to use a modded bodyshape.

Why? Because I transitioned after puberty. So I have Hips and a Flat Chest and a Tiny Waist and a Beer Gut.

Depending on the configuration of things you wind up with, post-transition, you might need to mix and match. :/

"why do you want to be able to make your trans sims with their assigned sex frames why can't you just make them ideal post-transition selves"

because i want the sims to look like me and my friends as we do currently. thank u for ur time

[asimplevampire]

i was talking with my partner (who isn't a sims 2 nerd) the other day about the tempest in a teapot with simpe

and they pointed out that being Chris Hatch must be so strange

on the one hand, you're a pillar of the community, everyone uses at least something you've made (most likely the baby clothes or the CAS widescreen fix), you've been doing some of the most hardcore modding in the game for years and people generally recognize you as an authority

on the other hand, everyone, without exception, thinks you're the most annoying man alive

[asimplevampire]

jestem normalny

[asimplevampire]

may the sims 2 community be rescued from the grasp of chris hatch and his posse of big tittied women.

[asimplevampire]

Yeah, my money would be that this is Chris Hatch, back at it again, especially with the weird and creepy fixation on whether female sims are virgins... :T

i haven’t seen who made the new simpe but it’s giving chris hatch

lmAO anon finding this out in real time

Yeah it is indeed made by him, some of the optional tools have pinup ladies on them, but even SimPE itself isn't fully free of it because of the little icon showed on those sim summaries 🤷

I'm gonna ramble on about the new SimPE if you don't mind anon 👍

BTW this is where you find the sim summaries I posted, it's the profile button in this screenshot. I even included some tumblr darlings.

Same with the "overweight chick" bit in my previous post, "overweight slob" is also a bit !! Much !! I'm 100% sure that these are not pre-written, but have strings that make up a summary for that sim.

I checked with Buck Grunt AND Patrizio Monty and the line "overweight slob" is featured. Antonio has SIX Neat points, Patrizio has NINE NEAT POINTS, BUCK EVEN HAS TEN NEAT POINTS !!

I'm convinced that the term "overweight slob" is the text for the string that denotes a fat male sim.

[asimplevampire]

Oh! Oh! I'm a doll guy!! It depends on what size you want, but it's fairly easy these days to find 3D printed ball jointed doll patterns.

This one has a face more like canon!Bella, but it's pretty small (Barbie-sized/1:6 scale); if you want a larger doll, this one might be your best bet (it's 1/4 or MSD scale- about 40 CM tall). There are also people who take commissions for fully custom BJD designs, so if you want your!Bella's face on a BJD body, you can get one! (But that gets pricy quickly).

You'll need to get elastic to string her with- the dollmaker should provide instructions on how to do that- and then you'll need to dress her up.

You'll need a face-up (a way to get her face painted)-- you can do that yourself, or hire someone to do it for you.

You'll also need eyes. Here's a good guide on how to size BJD eyes - and here's a nice set of brown eyes!

You'll need a wig- here's some instructions on how to size a BJD wig; the smaller doll probably takes size 4-5 and the larger one probably takes size 7. Here's a wig that would be good for Bella that comes in both sizes; just trim it down to the length you want. You'll also need a wig cap; I'd recommend silicone, but it's possible to make your own.

You'll need to get her clothing and shoes. I found a couple dresses that'd work for Bella: X X X -- and a pair of shoes that'd fit the larger girl, though she wouldn't be able to stand up. You could also hire someone to do this, or make your own.

...It's BJD, so it can get expensive quickly. ^^'' But if you want to 3D print a Bella Goth doll, it's eminently possible, and it'd be a fun project!

So I got my bae a 3D printer for Christmas, and now they're asking if I want anything.

If I had any clue whatsoever, I would totally get a Bella Goth doll printed right now

Looking for the file, link or whatever it is of this outfit since as I was looking for it's pinterest and click on the tumblr, the user was gone making me unable to find the link.. I hope this outfit's link or files can be able to find.. I collected these kinds of outfits.

Hello libingus! :-D thank you so much for including an image<3

Hope that helped!

they both scratch the Otacon itch (happens to the best of us) so i've been making them hang out in the game of my mind.

lore deliberations below:

i knowww ts4 is technically an alternate timeline/universe but Riddle me this. what if i want characters to hang out.

in my mind's eye (and some parts of this i'm 90% sure i've yanked from a french sims youtuber i keep an eye on on and off) strangetown & strangerville started as two separate villages, and later on, the project to join them into a bigger area (i started calling it "the Greater Zarbville Area" [from french strangetown name "zarbville", from "zarbi", verlan for "bizarre", you had to be there] and while that makes little sense i can't stop thinking it that way so. the Greater Zarbville Area). between the two villages, plans for massive construction got underway, with materials piling up in the desert. strangetown's roads were widened, the two boroughs got administratively reunited under the GZA name; all of this was in the hopes of making the GZA an attractive and unmissable stop on the way to Del Sol Valley, perhaps shaping the Greater Zarbville Area into an isolated suburbs of DSV. Alas, a high-speed connection was made elsewhere, rendering the GZA project useless, a waste of money. slowly, the construction materials disappeared from the plots of lands — stolen? swallowed by the sands? reused by the military for some... underground base of sorts?

since then, strangetown and strangerville still stand as sisters in the eyes of the administration, feeding each other the Weirdness that comes with their very existences, a stretch of desert between them, strangetown's highway-transformed roads having one of their lanes blocked for the kids to skate on.

as far as these two 🤓☝ go. in the game of my mind they're close in age, give or take one to 2 years. erwin got his braces in quite late, as his family couldn't afford them while he was a teen, and he spent a few years post-college trying to pay off most of his student debt.

in the game of my mind they went to middle and high school together, but to separate universities. they're both very attached to their strange and unusual hometowns, and have moved back in after college. i like to think they sometimes go to the big city to partake in hackathons that's funny to me.
