We interrupt your scheduled programming to bring you the Best Bois (tm)
#sims#ts3#sims 3#photoshoots#einstein trinquier#copernicus park#oh I just had to#I think in the vanilla legacy einie will totally be co-heir alongside freya#and they'll be closer. oh the potential. it was a crime to not have them be close. I can literally envision them bouncing off each other#also copernicus turned out so cool I'm impressed#I would love so much to expand on them

Hector has also existed for a while in ts4😍
#sims#ts4#sims 4#photoshoots#hector trinquier#it's from like 2023. even then I was like hot damn#I didn't expect him to be so fire in ts3 too because somehow his berry version gave entirely different vibes

*procrastinating actually playing by turning my berry sims into vanillas*
#sims#ts3#sims 3#photoshoots#azar trinquier#(definitely didn't traumatise his kids; more on that in a possible legacy gameplay I wanna do with them)#yeah I thought about it and I don't think I vibe anymore with berries that much unless it's a cas legacy but I wanna play with these guys#hector trinquier#(HOT)#azalea trinquier#(also HOT)#aster trinquier#(a girl now because her boy version was serving nothing) (and I also feel like aster is more of a girl name)#lavender trinquier#(like the 5th revamp of her but I like this one she looks like a cute barbie doll!)#I love her she's such an autistic icon and I came up with a new story for her that focuses more on that aspect#martin trinquier#(goes by marty)

🌈 For Leighton :)



Fantasy Leighton!
#in case anyone's wondering who's leighton#what a queen tbh#I also have a special soft spot for characters who have elphaba energy bc she's my favourite fictional character ever#coincidentally quite often they end up having an L name. if I had a nickel I'd have three nickels#... four nickels if you count one character's nickname

sorry i saw leighton was mentioned and i came running
Haha some things always stay the same😄 I want to do something cool with her because she's totally in my "characters who deserved better" club.
#I mean she was only a side character but I got pretty attached#I have some ideas I've been thinking of adding a subplot for her in the maples 2.0#I'm not sure yet what happens ultimately but I also very much hope she will be able to showcase her witchy powers#and maybe turn someone into a toad#replies#mel rambles

Missed these guys, might reboot their legacy too🤔
#sims#ts3#sims 3#photoshoots#marnie maple#beth tinsley#blurrypxls#christine maple#curtis maple#if you remember them wow you've been there for a long time. you're the real ones. they're my old lepacy#it's funny because at the time I couldn't connect with them. like I pushed through but they always lacked something for me#but while archiving the legacy I was like oh my god. the DRAMA. this has so much potential. suddenly I love them#gen 2. omg. this was so fun to archive. so juicy and interesting to dissect#most of the characters (especially men - looking at you zain and jesse) were glaring red flags#leighton was done so dirty. I would support her crimes if she ever wanted to commit one#I first wrote it 6 years ago so it was a little naive with happily ever afters and stuff and I made everyone neatly pair up#but now I'd lean into the actual messiness of it all. I love me some flawed characters and emotional chaos#my girl christine gives a netflix protag energy. she'd always have so much drama in her life#oh I have a couple ideas for her chaotic love life already#meanwhile curtis is on the sidelines with popcorn and atticus#also I just want to complete a lepacy. and who if not them#I had a private lepacy that I played but it wasn't the same#though I had some cool characters originate from there like jin for example. and some others that haven't appeared yet

Also while we're at it, a little peek at Kris, Fel and Tobias in my private ts4 save!
#sims#ts4#sims 4#kristen fletcher#tobias fletcher#felicity fletcher#oh I love them#the parents are also there#you can see keith in the background running home to have woohoo with jena after a ww pop up that I happily accepted hahaha#this save actually has a purpose - I'm doing a uni gameplay as a nod to my very very old story where lennias were roommates#it has pippa ellie and nate too and I may eventually add some others#but there's also family time as well#I think keith jena kris tobias and fel might be my favourite iteration of the fletcher family ever. unsurprisingly#the dynamic is elite

Kristen and Felicity💖
#sims#ts3#sims 3#photoshoots#kristen fletcher#felicity fletcher#they appeared in the story and are thriving in some of my private stuff but haven't had proper portraits yet somehow#god I'm so happy with them#they went through a couple redesigns but they're perfect now#the irony is that felicity was one of those that were added a bit retroactively (tobias had a younger sister in some iterations but they-#-aren't similar)#(kris on the other hand is a 2.0 version of his other legacy sister and he also had a brother but he was boring)#and if fel was actually born in the legacy she would have been perfect heir. like she even has the OG genes from the founders#the fletchers were unofficially a PGC before gen 7 but it got a bit old#but in a twist of fate after a little reshuffle she now IS heir and the mother of lydia and irene#bit of a shame sometimes that tobias got demoted (he's still heir but the subsequent fletcher line doesn't go on from him anymore)#(though he will get something else. arguably something cooler. I'm not gonna say yet but *rubs hands*)#but this is a price to pay for his happiness and this is all that matters to me#he was destined for the band and his musician soulmate#and I love fel's storyline too!! omg once in a while I think of what's coming for her and nate and cry a little

👽 Zuri 🚀
#sims#ts3#sims 3#photoshoots#zuri rocket#she was the first GC drummer. she's too good to leave behind#I guess the position was always destined to be ellie's but I loved zuri and alyssa while they lasted#and I'm happy both of them are still around and will be a part of the band's story#I've been trying to establish an alien backstory for zuri because - hear me out - an alien coming to earth and-#-joining the rock scene and naming herself “zuri ROCKET”#like “rock it” get it

👀👀👀

Oh god, over 3.5 years later I'm finally setting up Cornelia's BC😭
#I couldn't find the gif that says 3 years later but... yeah. at long last it's here and set up#gonna start playing it soon!#I'll also post it in episodes not to spam too much with posts but it means I probably won't be tagging ppl who are eliminated#because spoilers#oh and I changed some minor cc but nothing too big

Oh god, over 3.5 years later I'm finally setting up Cornelia's BC😭
#truly unbelievable#I had to basically force myself to go download the contestants and all#and it's not because I don't want to#but all these 3.5 years I was juggling burnouts / the “pleasures” of immigration / various commitments#and now that I've been free of it all for two months now my adhd has become really bad and I haven't gone on meds yet#I have to wait longer for the appointment#I could make an appointment at a different doctor's but guess what! I keep delaying it! because adhd! truly a vicious circle#and I have so many ideas for ts3 gameplays but struggle to make myself start these saves even though I'm so excited#to be fair I also really needed to clear cc in my game it was too overloaded with it but it's done now#mel rambles

Happy Pride from Galactic Crusade!🌈
💙Tobias is gay and genderfluid (he/him but doesn't mind other pronouns and likes gender-neutral terms) 🤍Lennon is nonbinary panromantic demisexual (they/them) 💖Eliana is a demigirl and queer (she/they) 💜Pippa is a lesbian (she/her)
Not pictured but still part of the fam: creative director Alyssa (bisexual, she/her), manager Antonio and his husband, renowned erotica writer Paul (both gay, he/him), Tobias' cool pink boots
#sims#ts4#sims 4#photoshoots#tobias fletcher#lennon astra#eliana tisdale#pippa keaton#GC is literally an epitome of queer found family for me I had to do them first for pride#also there's such a lack of colors in tumblr editor I didn't even give everyone the color closely associated with them#anyway their story is a bit on hold because I'm inspired for something else currently haha rip#but I'll be back to it sometime in the summer I'm sure

I feel like the only way right now I can feel better about posting is when I clear my blog a little bit and keep it organized but it would take up so much time😭
#mel rambles#sometimes I delete some posts but it seems like there's 50 other ones for every deleted post#there are SO many posts#they say embrace the chaos but... idk maybe my brand of neurodivergence feels better about being organized and keeping it neat

Me: when I come back from the trip I will definitely continue my ts3 story/make some of my new ts3 plans come true
Brain: let's resurrect some of the old story ideas you had with ts2 premade sims
#rip I guess#because I'm already playing out one story and planning something else as well#it's fun and healing my inner child (my ts2 premades days were camp)#but I think I will work on that privately because I feel more comfortable this way. idk if I'm ready to put it out into the open#at least for now#but re: ts3 I'm trying to get myself to at least set up the BC now#this needs to be done sooner or later I'm already embarrassed I left it for so long again#I mean the idea of it is great and enjoyable but it's the setting things up part#mel rambles

I have some photoshoots to post (I'm currently taking pics of the entire Fletcher family one-by-one for their family tree and group pics, I may post it all for the 10th anniversary or maybe earlier) so I have some nice pics of spares and stuff which I'm really happy with but somehow I feel bad because I actually said many times I was going to post proper gameplays/continue my current story and I'm not ready for it yet🥲 I'm really enjoying my photoshoots right now
#mel rambles#I mean not like I feel bad or anything I just want some semblance of organization on my blog#it's a mess through and through#this is why I post less I guess? don't wanna spam#I mean roll with the mess they say but... my brain is like no mess
