Jenny is finally going on that date ^^^

Some random doodles of Jenny and Lyla! Happy Women’s Month!! I love women ❤️

They were best friends since elementary school, roommates in college, each others maid of honor. They raised their kids together. The only thing that could separate them was death itself. ( Rip Lyla )

Some random head cannons for these girls:

1) Jenny, Lyla and Buzz were all friends in elementary school. At that time Buzz still had a passion for barbershop quartets.

2) Lyla danced ballet, and did writing as a hobby, inspired by her father.

3) They babysat Jenny’s brothers all the time as teenagers. They let Pascal join their group once he was in high school.

4) Jenny snuck her little brothers into Alien(1979). Traumatizing them for life. She was grounded.

5) Lyla and Buzz started dating in high school, it was all good until Buzz changed.

5.5) After Buzz decided to beat up all the nerds ( who were middle schoolers ) and Lazlo! Jenny gave Buzz a knuckle sandwich - ending their friendship.

6) They had a quick wedding during university because Tank was making a debut.

7) Lyla named Tank - Theodore - and called him Teddy …until he was older.

8) Lyla worked as a hospital receptionist until she had three boys to take care of.

9) Lyla loves all her boys, she taught Tank some dance moves whenever he wanted. She introduced Ripp to music and tutored Buck so he was smart.

10) Her ghost is stuck in Olive’s garden because no one knows she’s dead :’(

Jenny knows that’s something is wrong, a bit peeved her disappearance was overshadowed by a mystery lady.

thinking about buzz beating up the curious brothers again. like what do you mean

but buzz is older than them?? time to dissect this (and by that i mean overly complicate it!!)

Making Sense of Buzz Grunt Beating the Shit Out of the Curious Brothers (and Loki)

I went into this assuming that, considering how old Buzz is, him beating up the Curious brothers + Loki as a teenager was statistically impossible, especially considering their age in actual human years—but was I wrong? Is it actually possible that Buzz did fight them within the time he spent as a teenager?

First, some supporting information.

Age Conversions Based on Adult Lifestage

Buzz: Day 14 or 43 years old Pascal: Day 10 or 38 years old Loki: Day 9 or 36 years old Vidcund: Day 6 or 32 years old Lazlo: Day 1 or 25 years old

These aren't even my own age headcanons for them (except Buzz's which is surprisingly accurate), just calculations. If you want to know how I got them then feel free to ask 😇

Evidence Provided by Memories

As seen in the picture, Buzz fought everyone "as soon as he aged up." However, it's possible he just has no memories of early teenhood.

Pascal similarly gained the memory as soon as he aged up. This idea is more plausible with him because he was accepted into private high school after the fact. Sure, in gameplay, this can happen as late as the last day as a teenager, but I doubt this is what Maxis was trying to convey since they literally handpicked these memories. Meaning: Buzz beat him up in middle school…?

Loki's only teen memory is losing the fight.

According to the Sims Wiki, Vidcund has no memory of Buzz beating him up (how hard did he hit him?)

Similar to Loki and Pascal, Lazlo's first memory as a teenager is getting beat up by Buzz.

Is This Possible In Normal Gameplay?

Disregarding any other family memories that arose around the time (I do NOT want to try to decipher the entire Curious timeline), the fight memories are in fact possible with their Sim ages.

The teen lifespan in The Sims 2 is 15 days long. Buzz is 4 days older than Pascal, 5 days older than Loki, 8 days older than Vidcund, and 13 days older than Lazlo.

Ensuring that everyone still falls within the teen lifestage, I made a table of the earliest and latest possible ages everyone could have been when Buzz attacked:

Converting their teen days into human years, Buzz either beat them all up as an 18 year old OR slowly picked them off until age 17 which is right before he kissed Lyla. None of this, however, is possible based on the initial age calculations.

Buzz's Attacks Based On the Adult Age Conversions

Buzz is 5 years older than Pascal, 7 years older than Loki, 11 years older than Vidcund, and 18 years older than Lazlo. There are two ways we can interpret their memories: either the Curious brothers + Loki were teenagers when Buzz attacked, or Buzz was a teenager when he started attacking them.

On the basis that Buzz is still a teenager, and assuming each fight happened in close proximity to one another, he specifically had to have been 18 years old when each one happened. This makes Pascal a 13 year old, Loki an 11 year old, Vidcund a 7 year old, and Lazlo…a newborn. ☠️ Alternatively, Buzz may have started younger and continued fighting until 18, the only teen year he could have possibly encountered Lazlo in.

If that seems implausible, then maybe Buzz wasn't a teenager and instead beat the boys up as soon as they turned thirteen. This would make him 18 for Pascal, 20 for Loki, 24 for Vidcund, and 31 for Lazlo. (Side note: Tank and Ripp would have been born by then.)

Conclusion

Regardless of whether you base it on Buzz been a teen or the victims being teens, him beating up Lazlo looks pretty bad. And if you go by gameplay rules, everything flows surprisingly well. According to normal gameplay AND real-life age conversions, Buzz is a big meanie who beat up at least one kid as a legal adult, at least with the age conversion system I used…

Me personally, I think he was college-aged when he started bullying them. (Or maybe they attacked him? Plot twist.) Of course, what I discussed weren't the only possibilities, but they should give a good idea of how things actually went… and maybe they can inspire your own headcanons! ^_^

this is such a useless pseudo-essay LMFAOO

Poor Ichabod is on a roller coaster of emotions.

I don't know what bought this little fight on between Komei & Xanthos but... first time I'm seeing the "demotion" networking play out. *shock horror*

Poor Xanthos.

Komei kicked his butt.

Few days ago I played my early Strangetown and oddly Jace and bobs hair changed with their work uniforms?

I never had this happen

[luxtallis]

I love how this Strangtown turned out so much. Also I almost finished the first rotation, only Salamis and Loner householdes left and it took me like a couple of months, lmao.

I guess I'll be playing early Pleasantview when I'm 40. If I don't get distracted with my Midnight Sun -> plasticbox's Elsewhere project again.

Jenny has been dating Paul for a few weeks now and is absolutely in love with him. Lyla and Pascal have to sit and listen to her ask him out on dates while they hang out in her bedroom.

She met him at the local pool ,and volunteered to teach him how to be human and how to speak simlish fluently. In this story, his human disguise works, but it’s very uncanny.

( Honestly I wonder what her type is )

V: Dude! Did you see what I saw?

L: Yeah bro, is that a...

P: W-What?! What happened? Guys, tell me. I was installing the telescope!!

L: Sorry bro, you lose it.

Don't worry, Pas, in a few more years you'll see that thing up close.
