Medieval Mods/CC WIPS

I have a BUNCH of behind the scenes projects, some of which I´ve posted over on the medieval sims discord!

Medieval Ingredients and Recipe Overhaul ft. variable eggs!! So each time you collect an egg, it'll be a different texture. (Also using this technique on capsicums/bell peppers, so you can have red, green and yellow ones on the same plant!). The ale barrel is functional and can also be used as an ingredient.

2. Ghost Story Image and Prop Default - replaces the torch with a candle and changes the images to more medieval-style monsters

3. Functional Butter Churn - the animation has been slowed down since I took this video lol

4. Functional Medieval Lighting - including lanterns, torches, candelabras with multiple flames etc. AND default candle flame effect

5. Medieval CAS Room

6. UI and Loading Screen Edits - couldn't find my other screenshots :(

7. Thatch Roof Object

8. Horse and Cart - this is still in very early stages so no pictures yet, but I´m at least 75% confident I can get this to work lmao

[aziraphales-library]

Hi! First of all: Thanking all the Mods for all of your hard work, because I love and appreciate this blog and everything that goes into it!

Second: Can you recommend fics where Crowley and Aziraphale go house hunting, either individually or as a pair?

Hello! We have some house hunting fics here, and I've got some more now...

A Cottage, a Couple, and a Day in the Life of a Real Estate Agent by AnonymousDandelion (G)

Lori hadn’t even realized she had any clients on the schedule for this afternoon — all her other appointments had called to cancel at the last minute — until the calendar notification had popped up on her computer reminding her that she had not one but two showings coming up soon. Thank God for calendar reminders, because there was no way she'd ever have remembered on her own; embarrassingly enough, even after the reminder, she still hadn’t recognized either of the names. Clearly, both clients must have independently scheduled their appointments over the phone — Lori had no communication record in her email, just their names and contact info in the calendar entry — but apparently she’d been so fully zoned out that not only had she taken no notes and accidentally double-booked without realizing it, the entire conversation had completely and utterly slipped her memory. Five years working in real estate, and this was the first time this had ever happened to Lori. She really needed to start getting more sleep. ~ ~ ~ In which Lori shows a cottage in the South Downs, and has a Time of it. No human realtor should have to deal with these two clients. Lori does her best.

Selling South Downs by Pixiefairy15, Slurpi13 (T)

For Sale: Beautifully maintained 3 bedroom thatched cottage nestled in the heart of the South Downs. On paper, they were perfect. A middle-aged couple, looking for a holiday home in a quiet village in the South Downs. Picky was the wrong word to describe what they were. They were never impolite or demanding, never threw a tantrum over something outside of my control like some previous clients had. They were just… odd. An estate agent helps Aziraphale and Crowley search for their dream home, becoming increasingly exasperated at their nonsensical requirements and strange behaviour as they reject house after house.

Just Right by EdosianOrchids901 (T)

Inspired by newfound freedom and his deepening relationship with Aziraphale, Crowley longs for more space. He suggests that they buy a cottage together, and Aziraphale is thrilled at the idea. But can they find a cottage that is just right?

The Wanting Comes in Waves by skimmingthesurface (T)

Looking at cottages in the South Downs should be fairly simple for one angel and demon who've seen their fair share of residences across centuries, but although they want to take this step to bridge the two halves of their side in the years after stopping Armageddon, there's still a wanting that's tucked away, that they wouldn't dare let see the light of day just yet. Though, their estate agent believing them to be married might not give them much of a choice in the matter.

post-professional endeavours by darcylindbergh (T)

Retirement is a four-letter word.

A Narrow Escape to the Country by shaggydogstail (T)

Crowley and Aziraphale appear as house hunters on BBC daytime institution, Escape to the Country. They are incredibly annoying. Sympathies, please, for the unlucky producer who is not getting paid enough to put up with their nonsense.

GREEN NERD SHOWDOWN ROUND 1 BATTLE 10

MILO JAMES THATCH FROM ATLANTIS: THE LOST EMPIRE VS IGNATZ VICTOR FROM FIRE EMBLEM: THREE HOUSES

PROPAGANDA

MILO

Anthropology nerd

IGNATZ

So, of all characters in fire emblem. A series with over 789, Ignatz is one out of 4 who were glasses (I am not counting monocles). This guy was sent to military school but he wants to be an artist, he has the lowest charm stat in the game. A guy who can not set boundaries between him and women have more charisma as a stat (i like both of them) He gets made fun of by a girl younger than him. HIS HEIGHT GOT PATCHED! His whole arc is just learning to be confident, how do we teach him that? THROW HIM INTO THE BATTLE FIELD. He screams "LET ME PAINT YOU A PICTURE" before sniping you with his bow. He is a dork who can kill you. Who is also green. There is in fact two obviously neurodivergent (insys please speak up) people in the game who are both green. That is oddly specific but it makes sense. He is one of the few normal characters who don't try to act like an edgy anime sidekick. It feels like they went to a random art/humanities-focused school and found an insecure younger sibling and used them as a reference. Can you tell i love this guy. - mod druv

Passionate about arts. Wears glasses. Scrawny little bitch. I love him so much your honor.

i don't know my friend asked me to submit him. he's kinda silly and cute tho i think he looks like my middle school crush only a guy instead of a girl

The Secret World of Fairies

A fairy pack is upon us and with EA's track record, that sounds like a threat doesn't it? Well at any rate I've been very happy with my fairies, courtesy of mod by Spinning Plumbob. I've had the mod for some time now, years in fact, but only just started to get into it since the world I created for them is so apt.

Welcome to the Moonwoods, next to the tiny fairytale hamlet of Olkanshire, where all my occults live. The world is littered with portals to different realms, and is dotted with little fairy houses. Perfect for all manner of magical beings and fairies.

Here reside fairy sisters Belle Sprout the Garden Fae and Buttons the Wood Fae. Woodland fairies are typically quite secretive but Belle Sprout, like any good sun-loving flower, loves being out and about, showing off her powers and interacting with the locals, while her sister, true to her shy little toadstool ways, prefers to stick to the woods, seldom venturing out, spending most of her time honing her skills and talking to the plants.

Their house is high up in the trees, and you can only access it if you can fly. I wish it was a real miniature, instead of something towering above the canopy, but to that end, I thought it'll be cute if it looks a little bit like they grew their house from a seed, so like a pair of giant fruits or flowers. Kinda like the houses in Cafu, Grandia, a reference I'm sure no one will get.

The interiors are wholly enough for their needs. Seeing as they can sleep and shower in their little fairy castles. There's no kitchen, I think fire in a house like this seems a little precarious, they just eat fruits and veggies grown right there in the hut. Which is just also, a fairly fairy thing to do. *snorts*

That's it for this post, but if you've made it this far, I'd love some opinions. Here are four options for the roofs. I know I said I wanted the houses to look like flowers, hence the reddish roof but I also find thatched roofs and shingle roofs with dormers very cute, more conventionally woodsy and also a little less jarring against the green forest, but ultimately, much less whimsical. So, I'm torn, I like them all! I'm curious what you have to say!

[inkwitchgames]

Any fun facts about Aura? 🙏🙏🙏

Aurelia, darling. You're up ❤️

She picked her last name 'Thatch' because she loves pirate stories (Blackbeard).

Designs holographic tattoos and aesthetic mods in her spare time. Body modding was her dream job, once upon a time.

Had a huge vintage video game collection that got destroyed :(

Falls asleep to frequencies that remind her of the Digital Realm.

Grew up talking to bugs and lil' rodents who shared her hidey hole back in her parent's workshop. They make excellent rubber ducks.

LIAM - THE INTERVIEW | NME 6 APRIL 2002 'Born Again'

A blizzard of swearwords, a tsunami of bile, and a huge projectile vomit in the face of 'safe' rock 'n' roll. LIAM GALLAGHER is back, talking exclusively to NME.

Break out the Boddington's, steam clean that kagoul: Oasis are back. It's been quite a wait. It may be 18 months since the last campaign petered out, tellingly, with the best-forgotten 'Sunday Morning Call', but 2002 finds the group re-invigorated and back to their belligerent best.

This isn't the bloated coke-rock Oasis of 'Be Here Now' (Number Two in America, and still talked about as a flop) or the mix'n'match hotchpotch of 'Standing On The Shoulder Of Giants' (Number 54 in America, not talked about at all), but a gleaming, streamlined Oasis MKII, about to rip the drudgery out of Brit rock and start a rock'n'roll renaissance not seen since, erm, Oasis.

Yawn. You've heard it all before, right? Well, check out the promo produced by long-term video wunderkid Wiz for new single, 'The Hindu Times'. Be gone, untucked flowery shirts and putrid paisley visuals! Here the band are dressed in Droog-ish matching black leather, playing live in a monochrome fantasy land staffed by gun-toting dominatrixes, where neon signs flash the words 'pills' and 'bombs' and the band slurp on take-outs from the Korova Milk Bar. Phew. It's Clockwork Oasis. A 21st Century noise. No wonder Wiz describes it as, "The video all Oasis fans want to see".

All of this welded to the best numbskull rock riff they've mimed since '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?'. And that's before you even get to the lyrics. This is a song - if you've just been teleported in from Mars - which has a chorus which goes "God gave me soul / You know I'll rock 'n' roll". Kiss would sing it, but at least you wouldn't be able to see them blush under all that make-up. Oasis couldn't give a fook. Don't take our word for it. Turn on the radio. D'ya know what I mean?

William John Paul Gallagher certainly does. Today, we find him sitting in a dimly-lit bar a minute's swagger from the band's Marylebone offices and everything about him is in place. The double-glazed hooded-stare? Check. The tornado of wired mannerisms and immaculate Mancunian street-suss? Check. The now-permanent smoke-screen shades perched below that mod-ish thatch known to hairdressers the nation over as 'the Liam'? Check. And last, but by no means least, that sandpaper and licorice drawl...

"Me fookin' drinking is having some strange side effects!" he suddenly exclaims catapulting himself out of his chair in a blur of leather'n'Burberry to illustrate his point. "I can drink like a god but I'm pukin' up a lot these days. I went out with Richard Ashcroft in the week. Fookin' straight in there, ten minutes into the session, and I had to say to him, 'Get out the fucking way!' Next thing it's (mimes spectacular barfing motion), it's fookin', 'Yeeuuuurgh!' I'm puking up all over him."

Bandmates Alan White and Andy Bell, sitting nearby and modelling matching hangovers, fall about laughing. They may be in the company of, lest we forget, the greatest singer the country has produced in the last 20 years, a millionaire at 23 and the public face of a band that has sold 34 million albums in a chaotic ten-year trajectory but right now he's just being, y'know, Liam.

"We're going out a lot as a band at the moment and that's great," he enthuses. "And if I wasn't in a band, I'd be doing it anyway. Probably worse, because there wouldn't be some cunt waiting for me to take my photo and put me in the papers the next morning."

He allows himself a grin. They may have called time on laddism, but seemingly, the lock-in rolls on. And Liam doesn't just know the owner. He is the owner. The trio have been out on the tiles for the last three nights, but seeing as it's Wednesday afternoon, it seems pointless to end there. Having met up with Ian Brown already this week (He's colossal, but he's off his fookin' tits, man!) tonight the beneficiaries of Oasis' roving hospitality is to be Travis. Liam's a big fan.

"I fookin' love those guys," he roars leaping to his feet once more, before declaring with an evil grin, "I'm gonna teach Dougie how to swear tonight: 'How's it going, Dougie? Still Happy? Surely someone's pissed you off; you've been touring around the world for the last fookin' two years! You must have got the arse with summat!'"

He adopts the scholarly air of someone putting Dougie from Travis through a Teaching Swearing As A Foreign Language course.

"It's 'fuck off', it's 'shit'," he intones, voice slowly rising until it reaches a full-on Manc roar, "it's 'whore', it's 'cunt', it's EUUUURRRGGH!"

The band collapse with laughter. Life in Oasis is still the same old soap opera isn't it, Liam?

"Course it fuckin' is. I'm Jack, our kid's Vera. Alan's fookin' Beppe from Eastenders. Gem's Boycie from Only Fools And Horses and Andy Bell's fookin' Neil from The Young Ones!"

There's a nagging thought, though, that perhaps it's high time it wasn't. That now more than ever Oasis have got to get serious and prove they're still worth the attention of the nation. It's time to deliver, and - as we said at the start - so far the signs are good.

Their fifth studio album will be called, heroically, 'Heathen Chemistry'. And if they're not quite under new management, then at least they've turned into a co-op. The sessions started a year and a half ago when Liam, Gem, Andy, Alan and Johhny Marr (they share managers) booked a studio for ten days and, in a Noel-free zone, came up with a bunch of demos which, according to Andy Bell, "sounded like 'The White Album'"

As well as 'The Hindu Times', the finished LP will include Gem's fearsome Stooges-like thrash 'Hung In A Bad Place' - as heard at the recent Watford and London Royal Albert Hall shows - a strident blues howler called 'Force Of Nature' sung by Noel (complete with the chorus, "I'm smoking all my stash / Burning all my cash") and a further pair of Noel-penned tracks entitled 'Little By Little' and 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out'. There are also three songs written by Liam.

Yes, you read that right. Three songs. Forget the jibes about Oasis being Noel Gallagher's solo project, Liam's finally coming into his own, but why the wait?

"If I could have written them before I would have," he shrugs. "But I was too busy singing, being the frontman or whatever it is that I am. I was just too busy getting off me tits and singing songs. I had no time to pick up a guitar because I was too wasted or running around causing chaos. So I took a step back and thought, 'Right, I want to make music.'"

Did it come easy?

"'Born On A Different Cloud' came well easy. I just did that at the piano. I had three different parts and these guys helped me put it together. It's pretty spacey. It goes into a chant. It's a Manc odyssey. 'Songbird' came easy too. I just came into the studio playing it on two strings."

Andy intervenes. He's aware that Liam's interpretation of the word 'easy' isn't the average one.

"Basically, how it works is this. He comes into the studio and strums an acoustic guitar every day for six months, and he'll be singing without any words, just going 'la la la' over and over again. Then eventually the words start to come and he's got a line or two. And then, after about a year, he's got the song."

Liam: "I'm fookin' slow, man. I'll be a solo artist by the time I'm 90!"

Having been afforded a sneak preview of 'Songbird' in the offices of the Big Brother label prior to our meeting, it's a pleasure to report that it's a gem, an acoustic love song laced with a barbed wire melody built for hearing on summer lawns at midnight. For the cynics who criticised Liam's solo songwriting debut 'Little James' for its 'Plasticine / tambourine' rhymes and neglected to notice its sucker punchline "We weren't meant to be grown ups", it's payback time - not so much one in the eye as a fully-fledged shiner. People are gonna be surprised.

"I like beautiful things," says Liam. "It's not all dark in Liam World. I take me shades off every now and again and have a look at the world and see some nice things."

Andy: "That's what I like about Oasis at the moment. For me, even looking at it still as a fan, they're back to being what they're best at, being uplifting..."

The fans certainly seem to agree. Between July 5 and 7, Finsbury Park in London will host a three-day Oasis festival. With the band having sold 80,000 tickets within an hour of them going on sale, it's clear that as brand loyalty goes, theirs isn't one that's in decline. If anything, the opposite's true. Was it a deliberate move to come back with a bang?

Liam: "Well, if you've got a load of people who want to see ya, you've got to invite everyone round your house and put a party on. You've got to be a good host and that's what we are. These are the fastest-selling gigs we've ever done. They're gonna be mega.... (Pounding fist on table) We are gonna fookin' have it at those gigs, because the kids deserve it for still being with us."

What does he put their continuing appeal down to?

"We've never been about a career, that's what matters. And I know where we're at. I know it's not what it used to be, but we still matter to people. I still want to be the biggest, of course I do - playing to 80,000 people in America - but in ten years' time we'll still be here, still fookin' rockin' and putting on shows. That's what counts. We're still more important than U2 or REM or anyone..."

The Charlatans are an understandable support act, but quite a few people there won't have heard of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.

"Black Rebel are my favourite band out of all the new ones that are coming out. I like that Swedish lot. The Soundtrack Of Our Lives, too - killer tunes, right up my street - but Black Rebel are just fookin' rockin'. I like 'em because nobody dares do rock'n'roll. No-one's got the balls to do it. I'm not really mithered about anyone else."

That's certainly true. When NME asks whether The Strokes' 'Last Nite' video was an influence on Oasis' latest celluloid offering, Liam dismisses them with a swish of his hand: "Listen, the only reason The Strokes do a fookin' video in fookin' black and white is because they look like a bunch of spotty little idiots in colour."

In fact, Liam seems remarkably unconcerned about the competition all around. As far as he's concerned, rock'n'roll's lost its danger.

"Too fookin' right," he explodes for about the millionth time this afternoon. "There just doesn't seem to be any angry music out there at the moment and it boggles me because life's still shit, doesn't matter how much money you've got in the bank. There's still some cunt pissing you off. "(Sings) 'Daddy was an alcoholic'. What a bunch of miserable, moaning fuckers..."

Do acts like So Solid Crew provide that necessary rock'n'roll thrill these days?

Andy: "Well, I can understand kids at school probably talk about them, that they provide that element of notoriety. But I think there's room for guitar bands to do that as well."

Liam: "The music's not dangerous though, is it? That's what I'm saying. I've got a mic and it's more dangerous than his gun... (A pause) I don't mind So Solid, though. I just like the idea of a bunch of fukcin' oiks running around causing chaos. But anyone else? I don't see The Strokes as dangerous, or The Hives. Fookin' Hell! They remind me of the fookin' Monkees! The Strokes the best band in America? Well, it's about time they had a decent band there. They're not remotely dangerous."

Compared to who, Oasis?

"Too fookin' right, man. I'm more dangerous than any cunt. Put me in a room with any of these young fookin' bands today. They wouldn't fookin' walk out alive, and I'd put money on it. And then they can come and see me in ten years' time and I'll still be having it."

Are there any rock stars who do stand the test of time?

Liam: "John Lydon is cool. I saw him at this awards thing and he said that he'd never seen such a bunch of wankers on stage. And he was right. Now if I'd been up there, I would have had to have a word. But he's probably one of the cleverest men in the game. He's still fighting."

And Keith Richards?

"I don't think we'd get on somehow. He thinks he's the only guy who's ever drunk or taken drugs in his life, the only man who's ever swore or stumbled. And y'know, I've done it with the best of 'em. They (The Rolling Stones) don't do anything. Make a record, you lazy bastards!"

Oasis might be on the verge of getting serious again, but with Liam around you can never be too sure how long that's going to last. There's only so much music he can talk about and before long, the conversation has taken a definite turn for the surreal. First up, Mastermind. Liam, it seems, has been invited on. "Fookin' seriously, man." he declares shaking his head and dragging himself back to some resemblence of normal service. "They want me to go on and answer questions about Manchester City. Now it's not gonna look good for me, is it? Sitting in some fookin' black chair while some cunt makes me look like an idiot!"

He's started so he'll finish. From here, we move on to Pop Idol.

Liam: " Listen, I've got something to say about that. People voting for their fookin' favourite band is a load of wank. It's a con. It either happens or it don't. That show is like diarrhoea. It's like sitting on the toilet all day and then (grimaces) something comes out. Then before you know it, there's a fookin' flood. You ought to see my TV, it's covered in spit, 'cos I got that close to it going, '(Mimes head an inch from the screen, incandescent with fury as Will Young croons 'Evergreen') YOU... FUCKING... CUNT!"

Then to his attitude to flying post-September 11...

"I've been on plenty of planes since then. All it means now is that the forms we have to fill in to go there are 20 pages longer. Anyway, I reckon they've got it all wrong. I know who fookin' did it. It was the Scream. I'm gonna send a letter to President Bush telling him who did it. Scottish cunt. Having it large. Skinny fooker Gillespie."

Onto the Queen's forthcoming Golden Jubilee.

"Big-eared bunch of cunts! I don't give a fook about 'em. They should get rid of the Queen's head on the ten pound note, course they should. If they put anyone's head on the new money, put mine on it. That or Prince Charles with a strap-on! Thinking about it though, I might gatecrash that party. No, fook it. I think I'll be having a rather large shit that day."

And then off to the World Cup.

"We were in the studio the other day and someone was saying 'Little By Little' will be the anthem for when England beat Argentina and I was like, 'Piss Off!' It'll be 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' coming out as a single and them lot crying their cocks off in Japan, getting stuffed by some cunts about eight-nil. And then catching the next fookin' plane home.

"'Cos that's what's gonna happen. Everyone thinks that England are gonna win the World Cup, but no way. Y'know, if we do, fair play to 'em, but there's too many fookin' Man. United players in that team for it to be winning the World Cup.

We're on a roll. But suddenly, just as Liam is about to launch into outer space, we're interrupted. Brrrrng! Brrrrng! It's girlfriend Nicole. The milkman's just arrived and it's four o'fookin' clock in the afternoon.

Liam: "What time does he call this? I want me milk and me eggs and me oranges at eight o'clock in the morning like everyone else!"

Maybe he thinks, because it's you, you won't mind.

Liam: "No way, man. I don't have to be in a band, but I do it when I'm meant to, so why shouldn't he?"

If God organised a roll call of the all-time rock greats upstairs in the VIP enclosure beyond the pearly gates you know who'd get the call - Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Sid Vicious, Kurt Cobain. But right in the middle of them, having blagged in with a day-pass, you'd find Liam Gallagher, elbowing them out of the way, making sure they knew some real talent was there. In a Brit rock world that's descended into an apologetic mess in his absence, he's needed more than ever. Right, Liam?

But he's gone, striding up the stairs to the bar, off to mastermind another great night out. Off to flick another V-sign at, er, the status quo. God gave him soul, for sure. But the point is, he is rock'n'roll.

Unhinged thirsty asks? Hmmm

How do you rank the cross guild members on oral?

More random shit on omega mihawk? (Still got your pointed at my damn throat and won’t let me forget it goddamn)

or better yet, what’s law in your omegaverse? (If you say omega too ima die. I’m gonna eat him)

Rank blorbos on peggability?

XD

Hmmm... I think they're all good at it, but if I had to rank them then Crocodile, Mihawk, Buggy.

Crocodile and Mihawk are pretty neck and neck, but I don't think it's Mihawk's most favoritest thing. He can spend hours doing it, but there are just things he likes more. Buggy is good too, but he gets so drunk on it he loses focus XD Gotta keep him on task.

I don't know that I have much else on omega Mihawk past what I've already sorted out. I'm not sure who his eventual partner would be, but I can see Buggy being a placeholder for a while.

Law in my omegaverse... hmm... that's a tough one. Thanks to @fanaticsnail I want to say he's omega, but i'm not 100% - he'd totally be a MOD though. An omega dom like Mihawk, or maybe an omega switch.... Actually, I'm thinking like TOD - trans omega dom.

Hmmm... Blorbos on peggability...

Crocodile - No. Buggy - nervous, but into it. Thatch - really enjoys it. Ace - Likes it more than expected. Marco - into it. Shanks - probably brought it up first. Mihawk - Probably best not. Kid - Surprisingly into it. Killer - into it. Law - Hesitantly into it. Sabo - Willing, and I think he likes it in the end.

Building resources

Starting out, the sims on Northeney had three main resources available for building. Later on they developed more (these will be added to this post when they are shown). For now, the are: wood, rocks and straw.

1. Wood

Brushwood for simple fencing (or to mark the outline of a building). This does not take any sim units, as it's only temporary. I would make a sim seek out such a bush, "cut" some of it and go back to the building site to use it.

Bramble bushes are base game, the simple stick fences are by Cyclonesue on TSR.

Logs for building walls, floors and beams. As they are used as a whole, or cut in half lengthwise, there aren't any finer tools needed to process them. Meaning too, that everything made with logs basically looks the same. Later on, when tools are available, wood logs also became the main resource for furniture, doors and windows, toys etc.

You get logs by cutting down a woodcutters tree from @anitmb's awesome Woodcutters Mod (found on her downloads page). I've placed spawners of these trees on three Northeney lots. When cut, the logs can be picked up into the inventory and brought to the building site. I usually put them down on the ground there, or in a chest, so it's easy to count & delete them while building.

To make it more realistic, a sim can carry only 5 logs at a time. If they need more, they simply have to do another run.

2. Rocks

Rubble piles are placed on a few nature lots. A sim can hew away at such a pile three times before it's cleared, each time resulting in 3 rocks, 9 in total. They can only carry 1 rock though (later this will be more). Clearing rubble also leaves pebbles, which even children can collect.

These rubble piles are from the World Adventures EP. They need to be "refreshed" manually, but I found that wasn't too tedious to do.

Just as wood logs, I'd place these rocks on the building site, to easily count & delete them while building.

Meteors spawn in many places on the island. This is definitely an easier way to carry a lot of rocks. They go into the inventory and I've put no limit on that. A small meteorite = 1 rock, a big meteorite = 3 rocks, a giant meteorite = 6 rocks. Later on I discovered that space rocks are much more valuable in another way, so I stopped using them as building resources.

Gathering space rocks is a base game feature I believe.

3. Straw or reed

Straw or reed for thatched roofs, floors or walls (and curtains, clothes, fillings for mattresses etc.) can be "cut" from two straw lots I placed. If a sim goes to such a lot, they gather 1 hay pile, which turns into 3 patches of straw. They can carry 1 hay pile at a time.

The idea is that sims would bind reed or weave straw (by hand) to make it usable. In the beginning I sometimes showed this, but it became too much of a hassle to continue with. So, just as you don't see them actually stacking logs to build a wall, you usually don't see them weaving straw either. I also regret not having had cc that could show my sims making ropes.

Hay piles are featured in the Pets EP, rushes are from the Ambitions EP, made available by Cyclonesue on TSR.

[aziraphales-library]

Hi there lovelies!!

I was just wondering if you had any recs for aziracrow slow burn through-the-ages fics - even better if they explore parts of history that aren’t shown in the show, or if they’re just being a silly a duo having a good time throughout, well, time.

Have a good day :))

Hello! We have an entire #through the ages tag, so do check that out. Here are more to add...

Nude woman with a Snake or The great tulip crash of 1637 (+Art) by Sad_Wet_Bretzel (G)

Aziraphale is in Amsterdam sponsoring Rembrandt van Rijn. And Crowley? He's just in it for the tulips.

with wings unfurled by MaiaPynne (G)

“The Son of God is being born in a barn?!” the demon squawked. “Her Son! Born in a smelly, thatched little barn?!” Then Crawly guffawed. And then he cried. Aziraphale watched this act of pure blasphemy unfold with patience. “If you're quite finished,” he said coldly. “I was hoping you might be amenable to lending me a hand.”

Shadow & Light by AFrenchFanWriter, T0beee (T)

1489. Seizing the opportunity to take drawing lessons with Leonardo da Vinci, Aziraphale learns more than he expected… A short story about life and death, love and hostility, opposite sides and complementary beings.

see, how the most dangerous thing is to love by theleftoveryou (T)

Aziraphale grasped for something to say and settled rather lamely on “Ah, yes… yes, you do seem to be missing your armour.” For all his tenderness, for all his love, in the end even the best angel in all of Heaven was powerless in the face of such grief as this, hanging immobile in the heavy air. He turned, then, to stare helplessly at Crawly, who for his part could only shrug. Aziraphale huffed quietly. Fiend, he mouthed.

through adversity and all, my love by jaysflight (G)

It was just the two of them, he and Crowley, angel and demon, two opposites on the sides of a War that would have its culmination merely eight hundred years from now. They were not meant to be here, solitary, in some thin alleway in a small German town that would have no significance a millennium from now, had no significance now, even; at least not in the powers-at-be’s eyes. Everything about this was improbable. Every shred of angelic instinct within him, that’d he quietly begun to drown out over the years when he was with Crowley, was yelling at him to leave at once, to get out while he could still play at respectability. He stood there, the breeze playing with his locks of platinum hair, and did not move. He set his shoulders, lifted his chin a little. “I’ll take care of it, Crowley,” Aziraphale firmly stated. “Take care of them.”

They'd met countless times over the six thousand years, in all sorts of manners and places; here are six more, in tangential relation to six fairytales or myths.

The Song and the Covenant by MissJeevesy (T)

1021 AD An old love presents new challenges for Aziraphale. Crowley, as usual, complicates matters. No archive warnings apply but please be aware of minor injury detail, language and one passing reference to homophobia.

Round 2, Match 63: Whitebeard vs. Otose

Submitted kids:

Whitebeard: Marco, Portgas D. Ace, Thatch, Izou, Haruta, Deuce, Jozu, Vista, and a bunch more I can’t think of rn

Otose: Sakata Gintoki, Catherine, Tama, and arguably most of Kabukicho

Propaganda under the cut!

Whitebeard:

1. “His reason for piracy was to start a family. He has so many kids who all call him dad. Found family to the max.”

2. “His biggest dream in life is to have a family of his own, but how to go about that? Settle down with a wife and have lots of kids? Boring. No, the best way to go about it is to become a pirate, find the most outcasted and lost people you can, and make them your crewmates/sons”

3. “His entire crew calls him pops because he takes them in and treats them like his children. He also likes to take into those who don’t have anyone else. His main goal in life was to have a big family that cared for each other so that’s what he made his crew.”

(Mod note: Full propaganda list coming soon!)

Otose:

“Okay so Otose is a middle aged to elderly woman who we are introduced to in the series as Gintoki’s landlady. However we later learn that when visiting her husband’s grave she found Gintoki, in his late teens having been discreetly released from the prison he was held in because the head executioner didn’t believe he deserved death. In exchange for being allied to eat the manju she wanted to offer her husband, Gintoki promised (her husband since it was his manju) to always protect Otose. She then took him, cleaned him up, helped him heal, and let’s him live with her. While she’s technically his landlady, Gintoki doesn’t pay rent, ever. To the extant that when his rival and him switch bodies, and said rival pays rent, she takes it as a sign of the apocalypse. Also I should note later arcs draw clear parallels between Gintoki and her husband And her other love interest, Jirochou, almost like he’s the kid they never had.

Catherine is introduced as a new employee of Otose’s, a middle aged woman who’s a dream employee right up until it’s revealed this is a con and she’s actually robbing Otose. Gintoki puts a stop to it, and Otose’s response it to, rehire her, realizing Catherine has no opportunities But crime otherwise. This creates an intense loyalty that while Catherine might bitch about, she once put her life on the line, telling her old crew she can’t do another job with them, leading them to try and beat her to death before Gintoki intervenes.

Then there’s Tama, a robot who began as a toy her creator made for his sick daughter, but as he kept improving upon her, eventually made her into a fully functioning android he essentially saw as his daughter. Then Tama is framed for murdering him, and then she learns he set it up to create a robot apocalypse. Afterwards Otose takes her in, and gives her a job working for her.

A final element of Otose’s adoptive nature is how she became one of the four devas of Kabukicho. The four devas are the most powerful people in Kabukicho and the other three are, a yakuza and former war hero/criminal, another former war hero/criminal who single handily took out fleets of enemies, and a former captain of the Harusame (space pirates). What did Otose do to join their ranks? Well she repeatedly helped people out when she didn’t have to, the repeated kindness she showed to everyone when they needed it meant that multiple residents were willing to put their lives on the line to defend her. Like it takes kidnapping the son of another deva and holding him hostage to get that fraction to turn on her.”
