Mall finally got the makeover I neglected last round, featuring a goffik makeover, new glasses, and letting her hair down. i still don't know if i'll give her a special halloween costume too but i can always go back. she would do something fun for the holiday i think.
she woke up early to congratulate consort on all his enemies.
Darren did head to the studio today to get some current pictures of the greek houses to hang in the lots. This will be the second generation of greek kids to be photographed, as all the original members have moved out long ago. aww.
dude shut up he wasn't even selling art today. you intruded on a photo session.
However, today is once again important because it's Darren's birthday. cassandra invited all her friends (basically just everyone in the science career honestly) and anybody who is darren's friends/family as well.
consort immediately began with the fighting so he had to be locked in the basement for the duration of the party.
Darren came home and was able to blow out the candles in peace :)
he's old now. I think I will also have to give him an outfit change again.
He and Cassandra had some cake while the rest of the party guests kinda just stood around socializing.
cassandra finally pulled off her wish to prank Mall, who also wanted to prank someone. the war begins.
she just wants to be comfy. i've never even seen this want before.
she took over cassandra's old room long ago and seems to have followed in her footsteps of having a fondness for occasional yellow. she also likes looking over mortimer's insect collection all the time. she never really got to be close to him so i think that is sweet honestly.
everything is finally going quite well at the Goth household :)
oh hey its budgieflitter and her swap aus obsession again
descriptions are under the cut 🔽
CALIENTE + LOTHARIO = BEAKER
When Don got a date with the Caliente sisters, he thought he won a jackpot. What he did not expect, though, was to wake up next morning on an operation table in their basement. Will this test subject last or the sisters will have to look for a replacement soon?
GOTH = SPECTER
Turns out not only relatives are buried in local oligarch's graveyard. Ever since Mortimer's wife Bella mysteriously disappeared, he became more reclusive than he already was. She was not the only victim - all of his daughter Cassandra's fiancés seemed to disappear one by one. Will Alexander get used to living with ghosts? Can Cassandra ever find love again?
BROKE + DREAMER = GRUNT
Brandi and Darren found comfort in each other after a terrible tragedy struck their families, however it seems this comfort is about to crumble. Darren is determined to reach the stars someday, and Brandi would rather stay close to the ground. Will Dustin and Dirk ever get along? Will little Beau follow his stepfather's footsteps?
PLEASANT = SMITH
Daniel has been fascinated with space ever since his father's Mars expedition hit the news. Good thing he found a woman whose eyes reflect the beauty of the universe itself. Will Mary-Sue get her long-awaited promotion, and can Angela and Lilith make the right choices when it comes to love?
BURB = CURIOUS
Jennifer is interested in the vastness of universe, but for a different reason her brother is. Where is she from? What really happened on her father's Mars expedition? Was it anything like the experience her husband went through during his abduction? Maybe the answer is much closer than she thinks.
OLDIE
Oldies have been a long-time residents of Strangeview. Unable to fulfill her role as a Birth Queen, Coral escaped with her beloved with a tiny alien aboard. Will Herb realize that the result of his last mission as a Pollination Technician is somewhere nearby?
okayyyy i had so much fun making this. the idea hit me literally yesteday and i was on the rideee hope u enjoy ^_^
What If… The Sims 2 was an early 2000s drama movie? Pt. 2
DISCLAIMER: I DON’T support the usage of AI professionally, however it’s really fun to use it to create concepts like these 😭 some of y’all loved pt. 1 so feel free to drop some suggestions if you want more!
Pleasantview/Strangetown variants of the fandom ship chart because I'm starting to get questionable takes from ppl which includes someone making their own chart
The m/m ship for Pleasantview was Dustdirk btw. Every male adult in Pleasantview gives off straight vibes and I don't recall seeing them get shipped together with the exception of Don/Daniel, which also doesn't have any haters
Some honorary mentions:
Vidcund x Loki (Enemies to Lovers)
Johnny x Tank (Tragic Yaoi)
Cassandra x Don (Canon ship disowned by fandom)
Vidcund x Circe (Canon ship disowned by fandom) (don't really consider this one as canon since they canonically broke up but I suppose people's interpretations are different)
Brandi/Darren (Loveable Rarepair) (Is it that rare? They're one of the most common pairings I've seen but I haven't seen anyone object to it so maybe I'm just in the Brandarren section or smth, idk. Brandina's p uncommon on the subreddit so that might be it)
Also apparently Brandi x Kaylynn is a thing too. Pretty interesting lol
darren came over in the morning to see how dirk was settling in yay :)
It started raining while he scrubbed the dog house because it was stinky. there are so many chores before work. Dirk did get a cool promotion after work though that was not captured in a screenshot. he's on his way to having a solid pile of cash to live it up with. Since he literally just became goth i'm letting him just be goth for halloween because i don't want to remove his trench coat yet.
until he becomes rich he still has to live like this though... alone and eating spaghetti among the filthy dishes outside... his personality is so shy that literally he never wants to invite people over or make friends he just hangs out with the dog. eventually dustin will marry into this household after there's enough money to justify it (and they can afford a fun and cute honeymoon yayyy)
Dina: "I hope everything got taken care of with whatever that was..."
Mortimer: "Mmm... I saw to it... Mrs. Dreamer departed early."
Dina: "Good!"
Don: "So, care to explain what the fuck just happened? How is your wife even alive? Is she alive? She seems sick!"
Cassandra: "Don!"
Don: "Really, Cassie? She attacked me!"
Darren: "Keep talking about my wife, and I'll have to shut you up."
Don: "I thought you were weird before, but you've lost it."
Dina: "I hate to bring up such morbid topics on a happy day, but I'd like it if you could adjust your will tomorrow to ensure Michaela will get her due inheritance."
Mortimer: "Of course, my dear. I intended to make the arrangements."
