My Darling Season 10 has been such a wild ride! I can't wait for you all to see how it ends 👀

All of season 10 so far ♥

Coni: You know he doesn't get off work for one hour and seventeen minutes. Checking the time every two seconds won't bring him back any faster.

Coraleye: I know I know, but I can't help it! I haven't seen him in so long and maybe I'm just procrastinating because I know I should be focusing on my university assignment, but I just miss him so bad, Coni. Coni: Wait, assignment? Over your Spring Break? What's wrong with you?

Coraleye: What? [Shrugs] I don't want to spend the little bit of time I have away from university doing more work, trust me. After my last holiday break with the family, which was kind of a... bummer, to say the least, I really wanted to devote this time to love and romance and... [sighs and smiles slightly] Tycho... But, this assignment is a huge chunk of my grade, unfortunately.

Coni: [Rolls eyes] You're way too pretty to have to do stupid assignments over your break. Use what you've got, Coraleye. I love you but I swear sometimes you're just a beautiful idiot. Coraleye: ...Thank you?

Coni: [Sighs] Anyway, what's the assignment?

Coraleye: Well, I'm supposed to write an essay on where I see my life in ten years. I think for my career, I can manage that much, but for the other details, well... there's so many... things... left up in the air for me right now. I'm at kind of a crossroads and I'm afraid of being stuck here. Coni closes her eyes. It's clear she wants to speak, but she only remains quiet. Coraleye: ...Well? Nothing to say to that? I suppose you already have the next ten years of your life planned out? Coni: Of course I do.

Coraleye grins and leans back into the lounge chair, while putting her sunglasses back on. Coraleye: Well that must be nice, to have a love life so uncomplicated. Do you think you'll still be living here in Strangerville, with my brother, in Old Penelope?

Coni: Are you joking? This musty-ass, dingy robot factory of a bunker is no place to raise kids. Especially not our Darling babies!

Coraleye: Well, I need inspiration and we have an hour and fourteen minutes to spare. What is your ten year plan? Coni: I'll tell you exactly what my ten year plan is.

Coraleye takes a quick moment to introduce herself to Tycho's cousin, and Tatiana's opponent in the upcoming election, Jill Smith, and her husband, Buck. Coraleye: It's so lovely to meet you, Jill! My name is Coraleye Darling. Jill: Good to meet you, hun! We heard about you from Pascal. Sounds like Tycho's pretty fond of you! Coraleye: Well I feel the same way about him. We've been through a lot, but I really love that man.

Jill and Buck exchange glances and smile. Coraleye: I just wanted to mention... you have my vote in the upcoming election. I really appreciate your stance on the rights and protection of extraterrestrial beings. My darling niece is an alien too, actually. I worry about her all the time, with the way the world seems to be heading. Oh! I have pictures.

As Coraleye fidgets with her pocket to retrieve her phone, Jill and Buck exchange glances once again. Jill raises an eyebrow.

Jill: I'd love to see!

Coraleye: This is her! Aurora. Jill: Ahh. Aurora! [Studies photo] Antennae. Beautiful sparkling galactic eyes. Yep. That's one of ours, alright. Did she come to be due to an encounter?

Coraleye: [Pauses to assess question] Yes. My brother was abducted a few years ago, in Britechester. Jill: I'm so sorry. Coraleye: Thank you. [Warm smile] We're still very grateful for Rorie though.

Jill: She's certainly a little angel! Have your brother check out my website, there's resources to help sims like him. Buck: There's not many cases of encounters like his, but for those who have had them, there's support available. Coraleye: Thank you. I'll be sure to point it out to him.

Before the conversation ends, Jill and Buck share their excitement about their expecting baby. Jill even invites Coraleye to feel the baby moving, something Coraleye could never say no to. Coraleye quickly proves herself to be an ally to interstellar beings and a trustworthy sim to the Curious family.

Jill: Well she was a sweetheart, wasn't she? Buck: I'm confused... Jill: About what this time, honey? Buck: [Shifty eyes, lowers voice] That's the girl we were told to keep Tycho's secret from? It's clear as day that girl loves him. She ain't gonna hurt him if he told her the truth. What on earth is he thinking?

Jill: [Soft laughter] Yep. These kids just don't feel safe enough to be themselves these days. That's what we're aiming to change, though, my dear!

Leaving this here for the name-nerds, analysts, or for those of us who may be obsessed with small lore details...👀

Hey Momo, I hope your ankle is better now. I don't know how many nights are in between the night I assumed Erwin would be abducted and the night he actually got (almost) abducted. But close enough. Your abduction post was awesome! How many time did you spend it on? And I think I assumed it to be the same night was because of your shot of the starry nightsky.

Ahhh thank you! Some days it hurts more than others but I’m up and exercising just fine! Tysm for checking 🥺❤️

As for Erwin’s (near) abduction, you were spot on in your prediction because it was the very next night! Coraleye and Tycho stayed the night at Old Penelope that night to help out with Glo, if I remember right that’s when you got the feeling he might get abducted. The next morning Tycho drove Coraleye back to Brindleton Bay, where they argued a while. By the time their argument was finished, night time had come, meanwhile Erwin was at work in Strangerville. As Tyke was driving home and Erwin was packing up to end his shift for the night, that’s when the UFO attacked 😬

As for how long it took- I got a bit more time than usual to work on the writing because my laptop was messed up, so I was jotting things down in a notebook whenever they came to me (also have a loose season ending planned out now too!👀) once I got my laptop back, I created Jules and that scene in maybe like 2 days, the post probably took about 4 days, but only because life has been very hectic lately 😄

Ps- I’m SO glad you liked that post, I really didn’t know which way that would go 😆 I’m really proud of how it turned out, and I’m so excited for you to see where this event takes Erwin!

Your grammar is absolutely fine, no worries!

On his walk to the car, Mackenzie's interest shifts to dread as he awaits their scheduled arrival. His anticipation is quickly laid to rest when a thick, black cloud of smoke, billowing and twisting like a writhing serpent coalesces from the corner of his periphery.

As the smoke dissipates, revealed are three ominous figures, unfolding like a tricky hand of cards: Tatiana's vampire henchmen, including Kat Cave, Markus Crow, and their formidable leader, Miss Hell.

Miss Hell: The lucky winner isn’t heading home without claiming his prize now, is he?

Her voice is low and menacing, causing Mackenzie’s skin to crawl. He puts on his best pokerface and approaches the vampire gang, feigning confidence.

Mackenzie: Ah, Miss Hell… And… friends. I see you’ve finally made it. I was wondering when you were going to… pop up. Are you ready to talk business?

Miss Hell’s eyes narrow.

Miss Hell: That all depends on you. Whether or not you held up your end of the deal.

Markus: [Chuckle laced with disdain] You’re a weird little freak, you know that?

Miss Hell: Now Markus, we’re not here to judge, this is a transaction that we agreed upon. [Grin]

Kat: So what’s the deal, punk? Are the votes taken care of or what?

Mackenzie grimaces guiltily, double-checking his phone to ensure the information he's about to provide is accurate.

Mackenzie: Yes. I’ve utilized my connections and skills using the position I'm in, and the votes obtained from deceased and missing persons have successfully been secured for Salas. Markus: So you pulled some strings? Mackenzie: ...I pulled some strings.

Kat: And you’re sure she’ll win?

Mackenzie: Absolutely. Unless Smith is also pulling something illegal, Salas will win by a landslide.

Miss Hell: [Sinister grin] Good, good…There’s no chance Tatiana knows we're involved with this, right?

Mackenzie: of course not! She can’t know, about any of this! I’d be fired instantly. She's definitely dead set on winning the race fair and square. And... I couldn’t bear to imagine what Sandra would think of me if she found out.

Kat: [Snickers] ...Pathetic.

Mackenzie: [Sheepishly] Uh...speaking of Sandra... The other end of the bargain...

Miss Hell: Yeah yeah. The daughter is all yours. Markus grins at Mackenzie, and shakes his head in disgust.

Mackenzie: A-are you sure about this? I can’t imagine how you’d ever arrange something like that. I mean she's married to Landgraab, and—

Miss Hell: We talked about this, Romeo. You have your ways of playing the game and I have mine. Trust me, soon Sandra Salas will be in your arms, just like you wanted. Now why don’t you go pick out a suit and let us play, alrighty?

As the sun begins to peak over the mountains, Mackenzie nods and strides away down the cobblestone path. The vampire henchmen's eyes follow him until he vanishes from view. Then, with a sinister smile from Miss Hell, Markus and Kat receive the signal they've been waiting for.

Miss Hell: Light him up.

Moments later, a blaze rages at the end of the cobblestone street, enveloping the screams of what once was Mackenzie Vespertine.

where can i find your simblreen 2023 gifts? i dont see them on your patreon.

Hi love! So I originally had it set so you just needed to reblog the post to redeem the gift, but I suppose since it's so far after halloween now, I might as well still share the link if there's still interest in them 😅

Pierced Earrings (sfs) Mooncaster Hat (sfs)

I also went ahead and updated the original posts, so the downloads are available there as well. x x

Mackenzie Vespertine, Tatiana Salas's campaign manager, isn't an incredibly remarkable character in this storyline. He isn't terribly noteworthy, and he doesn't last very long. Especially when he decides to become entangled within the narrative of Tatiana's eldest daughter, Sandra Landgraab.

But no one sees her like he does, you see. Sandra doesn't see it yet, but they have plenty in common. What Mackenzie admires so much about Sandra is her dedication and work ethic—the same traits his ex-wife divorced him for years ago. Mackenzie: May I overstep, Sandra? Sandra: Overstep? About? Mackenzie: It's just that I think you're overworking yourself. And that's coming from me. Tatiana is so lucky to have a daughter like you, bending over backwards for her campaign while your sisters are nowhere to be seen.

Sandra: I... Mackenzie: And the sacrifices you've made... juggling it all. Quality time with your children... your job... it's clear you're tired. Sandra: Mackenzie, I- thank you. Thank you for acknowledging that. I guess it is a lot. But it's for a good cause. I believe in my mother's platform. Besides... it'll all be over soon. And I haven't had to do it all alone. [Friendly smile]

Mackenzie isn't completely delusional, he knows Sandra is married to one of the richest sims with a pulse. Not that that should be a factor. Perhaps he's just sleep deprived or overworked, but he becomes fixated on the fantasy of he and Sandra being the perfect vampiric power couple; The next Salas and Straud, destined to reshape the nation together. All he needs, is the opportunity to win her— Mackenzie: Why don't you let me take over for the night? You get home to the kids. Sandra: Oh my mod, no way, I can't leave you with all this work. The election is only in— Mackenzie: Seriously. Trust me, k? I got it. Come on, I'll walk you out.

Sandra: Mack, thank you, really. I've been so stressed about this election. Mackenzie: I know you have. But uh... I think you can relax. I'm... I'm pretty confident about this one. Now go home and pick out a party dress. And tell the girls hi for me, will you?

Mackenzie and Sandra move wordlessly through the Straud Mansion. He listens to the rhythmic clack of her heels against the ground, sensing their pace slow as they reach the doors and emerge outside onto the cobblestone in the cool night air.

Sandra: I'll see you on election night then? I'll save you a seat at the party. Mackenzie: I wouldn't miss it for the world.

Feeling very nostalgic for The Sims 3 today. I remember recreating the Appaloosa Plains house from MD1-3 in my game because I loved it so much. I took me DAYS to recreate it because I had to keep switching between chapters to find all the good screenshots with all the rooms in the background lol. This was for my own story but I admire your building skills and sim style so greatly that I just had to have the same house and barn!

OMFG hahaaaa this makes me smile so darn big!!! 😭

I know the exact feeling you’re describing because I dabbled in taking on the task of rebuilding that same lot last summer! (Actually it was that whole cul-de-sac lol) it got a bit too daunting so I temporarily put it down.

But I would LOVE to see pictures if you’re up for sharing/still have them! I miss that house, and I’m excited for it to make its comeback in MMA 💗💗💗

Morgyn: No. Absolutely not.

Caleb: Why not?

Morgyn: Where should I begin? I have more reasons not to go that party than I do to go.

Caleb: Do any of those reasons have anything to do with not wanting to disappoint your ex? Attending the opposite party from her and her boyfriend, maybe? [Sly grin]

Morgyn: [Scoffs] Don’t start. It’s not that. As a sage, I can’t involve myself with politics.

Caleb: Yeah, sure. I heard about your extravagant dinner with them and the other sages, followed by an intimate séance. Sounded like the three of you got pretty cozy. [Cocks eyebrow]

Morgyn: Not that it’s any of your concern, Vatore, but you’ve greatly misinterpreted what took place that night.

Caleb: [Whispers]…But I’m not misinterpreting what you desired, am I, my love?

Morgyn sighs in frustration and slams the ladle on the counter, then removes the brew from the stove before storming off.

Morgyn: What are we doing? You and I? What is this game we're always playing? I thought we were over. Why is any of this your concern?

Caleb: Relax, I’m just playing with you, Ember. [Laughter] But Mira wanted me to ask for your help to protect her and her wife—Coraleye Darling’s cousin, right? You don’t have to, of course, but just imagine... if anything happened to them…

Morgyn: [Reluctant sigh] Fine. I’ll help you out. But if I do, I expect you to behave.

Caleb: Excellent. It’s a date!

Starling: [Calling out] Baaabe? I'm home!

Mira: In here, darling!

Mira: [Sweeps strand of Starling's hair] I've missed you so much. How was shooting?

Starling: Excruciating. Long days of flawless acting and carrying everyone else's performances can be so draining. And lonely! I've missed you too, my love.

Mira: Well, you're about what, halfway through, now?

Starling: Almost half. I'm glad to be back home for a while. What are you doing here in the closet?

Mira: Oh nothing, just... storing away some outfits that my mother sent. Starling: Tatiana sent you outfits? What for? Mira: She sent us outfits, actually. She's invited us to her stupid election party and requested that we try on a bunch of overpriced dresses and whatnot.

Starling: Wait... she invited us, as in ME? To be your date? Mira: Well, yeah. Remember, she found out about us recently. You are my wife, after all. Starling: Yeah but... I... I guess I expected her to invite what's-her-face. Mira: Coraleye? No, Coraleye's definitely going to be attending Jill Smith's party to support her. That's Tycho's cousin after all.

Starling: Have you tried on any of them yet? ...The outfits?

Mira: No. There's no need. I also plan on attending Smith's party.

Starling: Whoa, hang on now! Let's not get carried away! There's no harm in just... looking, right? What if they're gorgeous?! Mira: I'm not interested. I don't necessarily agree with all of her policies, but... For Rorie's sake, I'm voting for Jill Smith. Starling: Who cares who you vote for? That's not relevant! Knowing her, that's thousands of simoleons worth of designer gowns to pick from! How come I don't get a say in this matter?

Mira: You... you're really interested in attending Tatiana's event?

Starling: [Shrugs] I mean... why not?

Mira: [Sighs] That place will be crawling with thirsty blood-suckers and it's not a safe place to be, that's why. Plus I already promised everyone I'd go to Jill's. Starling: Well... what if we went to both? You have been working on the "Transportalate" spell. Can't you just open a portal and we can travel back and forth between parties, throughout the night?

Mira: I mean, I'd have to do a lot of practicing, but I guess I could pull it off. But that wouldn't solve the safety issue. I'd rather avoid anyone sinking their fangs into my wife. Starling: Niko will keep us safe. He's a trusted protector, best bodyguard I've ever had! Mira: Darling, with all due respect, Niko is still human, unfortunately he wouldn't stand a chance if a vampire lost control.

Niko: ....

Starling: Hmm… well, you’re already friends with the Vatores, I’m sure they can offer a little bit of protection if you asked. And then…What about the Sage?

Mira: The Sage?

Starling: Yeah. You know, The one who willingly entered a relationship with Coraleye for some reason?

Mira: …You mean Morgyn?

Tycho: [Barges in frantically through bedroom door] Erwin!

Erwin: Uh dude? Forget how to knock?

Tycho: Are you okay? Were you hurt?

Erwin: Was I hurt? What do you think I’ve been doing in here? Sorry about the mess, I've just been, uh... sorting some stuff out. Erwin crouches down and haphazardly gathers some scattered documents on the floor into a messy pile, stuffs them into a box, and hastily shoves them under the bed, along with a few other choice objects lying around.

Tycho: I’m talking about the incident, [approaches Erwin] you were nearly abducted by aliens!

Erwin casually puts away the last of the documents and plops onto the bed.

Erwin: I was? Oh right… I was. But how’d you hear about that?

Just then Tycho realizes his error, the haste in his actions. There’s a brief pause, as his mind scrambles to answer for himself. He stuffs his hands into his pockets in an attempt to appear cool, calm, and collected.

Tycho: I… What do you mean? it’s all over the news, Erwin.

Erwin: Really? I thought I got out of there before the media hit the scene. Didn’t think anyone saw me.

Tycho: [Slightly defensive] Well I guess I just assumed, Erwin, since it was right by the shop.

Tycho: [Sits on bed next to Erwin] ...Not sure why you didn’t call me right after, though…

Erwin: Right. Guess I’m still sorta in shock, ya know? Sorry, bud.

Tycho: Do you want to talk about it? Erwin: I don't think I'm ready, man. Still processin' it all up there [points to brain]

Tycho tosses his cap onto the floor and starts kicking his shoes off.

Tycho: Well that’s to be expected, but we won’t let it happen again. I’m sleeping in here tonight.

Erwin: Sleep in here tonight? Tyke, You don’t have to do-

Tycho: Night, Erwin. Love you, man.

Erwin: [Sighs] Love you too, bud.

I just saw some toddler ballerina cc from @powluna and it totally reminded me of Birdie! Remember how into ballet she used to be? 🩰

OMG YES!! I remember that so fondly, she was a little ballerina just like her mama 🩰🥺

She still does it as a hobby these days, too!

I will definitely have to check that cc out, thank you for pointing it out and thank you even more for thinking about her, that’s so special to me❤️❤️❤️

Alsooo, BOOP!
