🛸 Crop Circles ! 🌾

🌌 I was decorating my StrangeTown remake and something was missing.... I remembered a neighborhood deco I used to have a while back. The Crop Circles made by TheNinthWaveSims

orignal Crop Circles by TheNinthWaveSims and @curiousb terrains swatch

🏜️ I decided to recolor those Circles with @curiousb terrain paints. This allows for a wide range of colors for better effects in your neighborhood decor. They go quite well on Maxis fields, but unfortunately not on the ones by @greatcheesecakepersona or @pixeldolly ones. 🌱

📝 I gave them a proper description and also made them peaceable everywhere, even under water ! 🌊

I will grow up today at 6 PM. It's time to plan a party and buy a birthday cake!

[asimplevampire]

I need another project like I need a hole in my head, but I'm taking @gutosimmer 's Early Pleasantview and medievalizing it because I'm so sick of trying to get Wildwood set back up.

Plus then I'll have something new to post to the Keep.

So if you like historical simming at all- and this includes retrofuture stuff like '50s Strangetown- you should check out PBK's Summer Secret Santa, and maybe sign up if you get the chance! They're more fun with more people.

30 Celda RCs of @sunmoon-starfactory 's Cask Shelf

As you all know, I've basically stopped using "realistic" textures in my medieval Sims 2 game. But I wanted to keep using Sun and Moon's incredible pieces. This is the first step towards me being able to do that: 30 recolours of Sun and Moon's Cask Shelf. (And, thus, everything repoed to it.)

30 colours, taken from @pooklet's Naturals, @withlovefromsimtown's Neural Network colours, and @puppycrowrecolours 's palette. Full swatch under the cut.

Also, the Tonberry was caged by a professional. Don't try this at home, kids.

Beck's Washtubs: Cel-Shaded Edition

I've defaulted and recoloured Beck's Laundry Tub to match my cel-shaded fantasy game.

Since I don't use 'realistic' textures, I altered the tub mesh to use the cel shaded ones by default. If that's not your idea of a good time, then delete the file marked "DEF".

Five RCs, in various shades of Pooklet and Maxis wood.

There's not much else to say; it's a washtub. Use it. (Or don't.)

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
