Happy New Year from Old Town! ✨🎩🥂

[sharlasims]

So, I got slightly bored, and was trying to work on a personal headshot... that's when I wondered how would sims look ran through an AI program? So that's what I did! I ran all of the TS1 console sims through a photo editor, and here are the results! These are all of the sims from Play the Sims mode. Bonus: Fran Foofaraw from Get a Life!

Brindleton Bay - Cavalier Cove - Bedlington Boathouse - Pleasant Snr. Residence 20x20

Lovely little house made by RachelPedd that you can find here on the gallery. I just edited one bedroom to make it nice for Angela and Lilith's sleepovers. The Pleasant elders should be happy in this neighbourhood, the view is gorgeous and the air is stimulating. I'm not sure what kind of hobbies they will have, maybe a book club for Diane (nanny) and some fishing with Brad Burb for Jeff (military) who earns a mustache because why not?

[bayoubashsims]

Tried to make the elder versions of the Newbies, Burbs, and Pleasants. I've always wondered what other people's personal canons were on them, since they've all passed away in TS2.

I've always imagined Bob and Betty went on to live in a retirement home after selling their house in SimLane, because Bob's health rather deteriorated and Betty was just stressed out. Her relationship with Brandi was always challenging because her own mother was tough on her, and she was concerned about Brandi marrying Skip as much as they liked him. Bob died first, and later on, Dustin was born around the same time as Betty's death of a stroke. Shame they never got to meet their grandkids.

For the Burbs, Brad always seemed older and he died after John and Jennifer got engaged. I'm happy to see that Tiffany lived to meet Lucy, as I imagine she'd be pretty old by then. I imagine her as a chainsmoking and sharp-tongued grandma. I like the Early Pleasantview canon of her, moving to the city again and all that.

Jeff and Diane Pleasant, too, apparently lived to see Angela and Lilith. But I imagine they'd be kind of distant to the grandkids. Jeff seemed to be tanner, so I guess they retired in a warmer climate. They died around the same time, but I dunno who'd go first--probably Jeff from his disappointment of not being able to go to Mars.

Next project Pleasant family. Here is Diane Pleasant recreation.

[valiantnightllama]

Headcanon: Jeff and Diane were strict parents who pressured both Daniel and Jennifer to into acting more "normal." They didn't approve of Jennifer's dream or Daniel's desire to live his life as a bachelor, pushing both of them into lives they didn't want.

Daniel's resentment and bitterness over the way his life turned out is the reason he turned out the way he did. Jennifer turned out much better thanks to John's support. She wants to be a better mother to Lucy, hence why she lets Lucy get away with a lot.

Round 6 - Pleasants

Not_So Pleasant

-Thanks, Luther! You didn't have to wash the dishes... - said Diane. -No worries. Thank you for the delicious dinner.

Jeff was very uncomfortable. What was on Diane's mind, he did not know, but this boy! The audacity. Clearly, he was trying to hit on his wife right in front of his eyes.

-Do you know who I am? - men quietly argued over the game of checkers. -I don't know, obviously a relative of the Pleasants? - sarcastically responded Luther. -I am Diane's husband! -Sorry, mate, you look more like her grandfather to me. -You will respect me, boy! I am from the military too, so don't you dare, unless you are that stupid to insult our family like that. -Aw, boo-hoo, I am so sorry mister commander. It was so-o-o bold of me to disrespect a bald man like that.

Later that night, Pleasant spouses argued.

-Diane, you understand me, don't you? You know how I feel. Can't you see why I might be worried? - But I can't just go to my boss and tell him just that, that Luther and I can no longer be partners because what, my husband is jealous? Besides, is that how you think of me? That I'll just... go with it as is? -I would prefer if you stayed at home, actually. As a homemaker. -What now? Now you tell me to quit? -Not exactly, but... - You know what, Jeff? I think I was a very good wife. Maybe too good for you. I raised two kids, brought the most beautiful human beings into this world. I kept our house clean and everyone fed. I supported your dreams, Jeff. While you were obsessed with aliens and other childish stuff, I stayed behind your back. Looks like the appreciation is one sided though. So I don't see why I should keep accommodating you and your feelings anymore.

Diane slammed the bedroom door in front of Jeff's face, indicating he was going to sleep on the couch today.

-Besides, - she opened the door again. - You spent what, 15 years chasing clouds? And you haven't proved aliens' existence even still. Well, guess what, husband, it took me and Luther one night of investigations and one article to do exactly that. Who exactly should quit their job now, huh?

And she slammed the door shut once more. Leaving Jeff absolutely flabbergasted.

Diane is having a well-deserved peaceful bath before the baby comes

[simnationlifebefore]

"So, Jeff. I heard from a little bird that you've made the selection"

"Now how did you know that, Bella? It's not been published yet"

"Jeff. It's Bella, I'm sure she's practically a spy"

"You know me. If it's happening, I know about it"

"This is a lovely wake, you did well organising everything"

"Thank you"

"It's rare to be in a room with both the Landgraabs and Capps"

"Honestly it was difficult to get them to agree to come, hell even getting Mortimer to come was a challenge this morning"

"I don't think I've seen your husband or Mother in law for quite a while. Did they leave?"

"They better not have"

Coral Oldie, Barbara Cordial and Diane Pleasant (1977)

Pride Month Writing Challenge, Day 3: Cry If I Want To (Closeted Lesbian Coral)

ok here me out

what if coral is a closeted lesbian

I don’t know why, but it just makes so much sense to me. Same with her daughter and granddaughter. Posting from my laptop so the formatting will be better today. 

tw: (period accurate) underage smoking 

Coral hated Jeff Pleasant. 

Coral was happy that Diane seemed so happy with him, but she could not stand the man personally. 

Apparently Coral’s intense hatred had been mistaken for jealousy, considering how much her peers teased her about it. When Diane confronted Coral and asked if the reason she hated Jeff so much was that she secretly liked Jeff she nearly puked. He wasn’t a bad-looking fella, but every time he walked into a room with that wide, goofy grin of his, it filled her with uncontrollable rage. 

Tonight, however, instead of rage, Coral felt absolutely miserable. The more she watched Jeff and Diane dance and kiss and smile and laugh… the more miserable she became. She was so tempted to “accidentally” spill punch on her dress so she could have an excuse to go home early. During a painfully slow song, Coral instead decided it was time for a smoke break. 

Coral considered herself to be a casual smoker usually, but tonight she decided to treat herself. 

To say this wasn’t how Coral expected her senior prom to go was an understatement. Of all of the things that she imagined could go wrong on her prom night… she’d never even seen this as a possibility. 

Coral had imagined her and Diane going dress shopping together, doing each other’s hair and make-up, dancing themselves silly despite any weird looks they might get, and eating junk until they made themselves sick. 

Not only had none of that happened, but Diane had the nerve to bring Jeff Pleasant of all people. It was just supposed to be a night of dancing and fun. Why did she have to—

What are you talking about? He’s her boyfriend, of course she brought him to prom. You are probably the only person at this entire dance that didn’t bring a date. What did you expect to happen when a slow slow song came on? Did you expect her to slow dance with you? 

Just as Coral lit her third cigarette, she felt a hand on her shoulder. 

“There you are!” Diane gasped. “I’ve been looking for you for like ten minutes!”

“Sorry, I… I just needed some air.” 

Diane frowned. “Are you not having fun?”

Coral looked away shyly. “Not really.” She kicked the sidewalk. “I looked like a total square dancing by myself, and I looked like an even bigger square standing by myself watching everyone slow dance.” 

“Hey, don’t say that,” Diane offered with a smile. “You were having fun dancing and that’s all that matters.” 

Coral blushed at Diane’s comment. 

“If it makes you feel any better, I don’t think you were the only person without a partner. If we go back in there, I’m sure we could find a single guy for you to dance with.” 

I don’t need a boy to dance with… I just want to spend time with you. 

Coral shook her head and chuckled. As much as she didn’t want to, Diane seemed so eager to play matchmaker. If Coral knew one thing about Diane, it was that she was stubborn; once she had her mind set on something, she was not going to let up. 

Coral supposed one dance couldn’t hurt; just to humor Diane. She put out her cigarette. 

“Did you have anyone in mind?”

We streamed Diane Pleasant’s round on Thursday over on Twitch and this is the VOD incase anyone wanted to watch it!  I switched up the amount of days I plan play per round from one season to only four days, this decision was made because of the amount of sims I have in the uberhood and the amount of hoods, it will take a super long time to get through everyone when I’m playing seasonal rounds. I’ve been having fun doing it this way so far, makes it a little easier to stream as well!

Alternative, Season 1 Episode 17: "Unfaithful"

Sorority of the Montero girls

There was a meeting because Daniel and Ekaterina were introducing their newborn daughter Monique. Marcel and Katina were looking at her daughter with disappointment, while Diane and Jeff were happy to see her granddaughter.

Jeff (Congratulating his eldest son): Congratulations Daniel! The baby is a very healthy girl! Diane, darling, our granddaughter is almost the same as you!

Daniel (Hugging Ekaterina): Thank you very much dad, darling... Why don't we better let Monique rest?

Ekaterina: Sure, dear...

The two left the house so they could talk a bit.

Ekaterina: Daniel, we can't give our daughter up for adoption... I know we can't raise her, but we can't do that to her...

Daniel (a little confused): But Ekaterina, my parents can take care of the baby for us, but they are very old, and what about your parents?

Ekaterina: My mom offered to raise Monique.

Daniel (smiling): Honey, that would be a good option!

At that moment Alexander arrives, who was a little agitated.

Alexander: Hello Daniel, hello Ekaterina! You must listen to me, please, I have super important news!

Ekaterina and Daniel: Hi Alexander! What happened?

Lola (interrupting the moment and leaving with Gabriel Green): Ekaterina, they call you on the phone!, a certain Connor Weir!.

That scared Alexander a little, who ran after his ex-girlfriend.

Ekaterina (Ending the call with Connor): We'll see you at 20:00 PM!

There was something in that call that worried Alexander too much, and he couldn't continue talking to Ekaterina.

Later

At a downtown restaurant, Geoff, Ekaterina, Connor, Samantha and Ramir were having an outing with friends.

Ramir and Samantha: Ekaterina, Geoff is the coolest man you will meet, he is super talented and super attentive! We would be very happy if you were with him and Geoff would also like you to be his girlfriend! yes Geoff?

Geoff (blushing a little): Yeah hehe, well guys, what are you planning to do this weekend?

Samantha: Since Connor and I have graduated, we have thought about traveling to Twikkii Island! By the way Ramir, have you talked to that girl you told us about?

Ramir: I've talked to her again! Her name is Ana and she's very pretty!

Dinner passed and everyone was enjoying it, except for Ekaterina (who wanted a beautiful diamond ring that a very familiar woman had), she couldn't stop looking at the ring, which caught Geoff's attention.

Geoff (Thinking): "It seems that my beautiful Ekaterina is attracted to something... I think she should buy her what she wants and thus win her heart"

Later, after Connor, Ramir, and Samantha had left, Geoff started flirting with Ekaterina.

Geoff (Caressing the blonde): Did you like dinner? I had a great time with you!

Ekaterina: Yes hehe, anyway, you're super cool Geoff!.

Geoff (Getting a little closer to the blonde): Do you want to know something? I love you Ekaterina, I would do anything to be with you... And for that...

At that moment Geoff kissed Ekaterina, that impacted the Blonde too much, on the one hand she felt that she was being unfaithful to Daniel, but on the other hand she felt fascinated by that kiss... Why did she feel that way?

Geoff (Smiling): Do you want to be my girlfriend, Ekaterina?, she swore to you that I will be a good boyfriend for you!!, I will be there for you when you need it!!.

Ekaterina (Confused): Geoff...

She scared Geoff a bit, who was getting a bit angry, but he decided to calm down, he shouldn't show his true form right now.

Geoff (A little angry): Okay, calm down!... I'll wait until tomorrow for your decision... "YOU'LL BE MINE VERY SOON EKATERINA AND YOUR BOYFRIEND ALEXANDER WILL NOT BE THERE TO SAVE YOU!!"

Geoff was devising the last phase of his plan, now everything was going to be more aggressive than ever and that's why he would start with the main thing...

KIDNAP EKATERINA!!

[eddievedders]

Diane, it is 4:28 a.m. I have just been woken up by the most God-awful racket, which you can probably hear over the sound of my voice. Can you hear that? Up until this moment, I've experienced nothing at the Great Northern Hotel but the most pleasant, courteous service imaginable. However, it just goes to prove the point that once a traveler leaves his home, he loses almost 100 percent of his ability to control his environment.

[eco-lite]

I’m once again returning to do god’s work by bringing you delightful moments from Spock’s World by Diane Duane.

[Text ID: “Spock was bent over [the Science Station], making some adjustment. ‘Readout now,’ he said, straightening and looking over his shoulder at the large, shaggy-fringed rock that was sitting in the center seat. Some of those glittering fringes stroked the open circuitry of the communicator controls in the seat’s arm. ‘Point nine nine three,’ said a scratchy voice from the voder box mounted on the rock’s back. ‘A nice triple sine.’ ‘Nice?’ said Spock. Jim raised an eyebrow: you could have used Spock’s tone of voice to dry out a martini.” End ID]

There’s a Horta crewman on the Enterprise now and they’re great!

[Text ID: “Still working on her doctoral thesis, Jim thought. Uhura was busy working on improving universal translator theory, mostly by taking the old theory to pieces and putting it back together in shapes that were causing a terrible furor in academic circles on various planets. Jim vividly remembered one night quite a long time ago when he had asked Uhura exactly how she was going about this. She had told him, for almost an hour without stopping, and in delighted and exuberant detail, until his head was spinning with phoneme approximations and six-sigma evaluations and the syntactic fade and genderbend and recontextualization and linguistic structural design and the physics of the human dextrocerebral bridge. The session had left Jim shaking his head, thoroughly disabused of the idea (and ashamed of how long he had held it) that Uhura was simply a sort of highly trained switchboard operator.” End ID]

Uhura continues to be a total badass and is amazing at what she does.

[Text ID: Chatroom title in all caps: “COMMON ROOM OPINION, INFORMED AND NON- RANTING AND RAVING PERMITTED NAMES NOT NECESSARY” Regular text: “It was one of the places he came to find out what his crew was thinking. Messages did not have to be attributed to a name or terminal, but they could not be private. The office of the common room system operator rotated through the crew, offered to various members on the strength of their psych profiles in areas like calm reaction to stress and anger. The common room syops tended to be closemouthed and dependable, the kind of person that others refer to as ‘a rock.’ (Once it had actually been Naraht, to the amusement of just about everyone.) Here tempers could flare, awful jokes be told safely, suspicions be aired, rumors be shot down. The common room was sometimes a peaceful place, sometimes a powderkeg. Jim never ignored it.” End ID]

The Enterprise has a dumpster fire chat room that has just as much shitposting and vitriol as twitter.

[Text ID: “Jim bowed over her free hand. ‘It’s been too long,’ he said. ‘It’s good to be back,’ Amanda said. ‘And in the middle of a party as well.’ She looked a little wry. ‘A little entertainment will be pleasant before the deluge.’ Sarek’s eyes flicked to Kirk, a considering look. ‘My wife speaks figuratively,’ he said, ‘in the tradition of her people. Deluges are not common on Vulcan.’ ‘My husband speaks circumspectly,’ Amanda said, just as dryly, ‘in the tradition of his.’” End ID]

Amanda and Sarek are as charming as ever.

[Text ID: “Jim was mildly surprised to see that to his other rank tags and decorations, McCoy had added a small, understated IDIC. ‘If I didn’t know you better,’ he said, ‘I’d think you were going native. When did you get that?’ ‘Today in the gift shop, when you were looking at the snowball paperweights with Mount Seleya in them. Tackiest things I ever saw.’ ‘Yes,’ Spock said; ‘they were imported from Earth.’ ‘You be quiet. We can’t let these people leave the Federation, Jim. At least not until they teach us how to make tasteful souvenirs.’” End ID]

Just this.

[Text ID: “There was Sreil, the burly, brown-haired biologist from the Academy, and T’Madh, a little bright-eyed woman of great age and curiosity, a computer programmer; and her son Savesh, who when asked what he did, said, ‘I am a farmer,’ with a sort of secret satisfaction that hinted he thought his job better than any of the more technical ones that the people around him held. Jim had to smile; the thought of a Vulcan farmer was slightly funny, even though there naturally had to be some. But the image of a Vulcan in coveralls, chewing on a stalk of hay, kept coming up and having to be repressed.” End ID]

I love Savesh the Vulcan farmer!

[Text ID: “’Jim,’ he said, ‘the best translation of nehau would be an old word: “vibes.” The feeling-in-your-bones that something gives you. It’s highly subjective.’ ‘Right. Go on, Savesh.’ ‘Well, Captain, I have heard numerous Vulcans say that losing the Federation and the Earth people would be no particular loss, because they had bad nehau, and that could not fail to affect us sooner or later.. But I must tell you that I find your nehau not objectionable at all; pleasant, even.’ End ID]

Vulcan wanting to leave the Federation because the ~vibes~ are off.

[Text ID: “His grasp of dialect and idiom as amazing for anybody, off-planet or on. He once reduced the President of the United States—then a ceremonial post, but one much loved by the people who lived within the old borders—to tears of laughter at a state dinner, by delivering a learned dissertation on computer data storage technology in a flawless Texan accent. The lady was later heard to propose an amendment to the Constitution to allow off-worlders to hold high public office, so that she could have him for her running mate in the next election.” End ID]

I would give anything to hear Sarek do a perfect Texas accent.

[Text ID: “—but when Amanda became annoyed over what she perceived as his smugness about being right, her eyes would flash and she would become splendidly insulting, usually in bizarre Anglish idiom that Sarek found as refreshing as it was annoying. She caused him to laugh out loud for the first time in many years when she told him, after a disagreement over the translation of the word for war, that he should only grow headfirst in the ground like a turnip. Later that month, when he was right about something again and made the mistake of not immediately down-playing it, she issued him with a formal malediction, wishing that the curse of Mary Malone and her nine blind orphan children might pursue him so far over the hills and the seas that God Almighty couldn’t find him with a radio telescope. Sarek laughed so hard at that that he entirely lost his breath, and Amanda panicked and started to give him cardiopulmonary resuscitation, which was useless, because his heart was somewhere other than the spot on which she was pounding. It took him nearly an hour to recover: he kept laughing. He had never been cursed like that before, not even by union leaders, and it was very refreshing.” End ID]

This dynamic is perfect, no notes.

[Text ID: “The next night they sat in the Rec Deck again, in the middle of a large impromptu party that was going on around them by way of celebration. The sense of relief in the ship was palpable. A group of about a hundred crewfolk, mostly human, had surrounded Spock earlier in the evening and sung ‘For He’s A Jolly Good Fellow,’ accompanied by twenty crewmen on kazoos. Sarek had been given champagne.” End ID]

I really hope the TOS Enterprise has crew performances like on Next Gen. This kazoo band needs to be heard! Also, I can perfectly picture Spock’s annoyed-but-tolerant expression as he resigns himself to the kazoo serenade.

Thank you @dianeduane for making me laugh!
