TGCF Draft vs. Final: A Ghost Marries a Crown Prince on a Bridal Sedan

First off, ignore that "chapter change," it is the same chapter title in Mandarin as the 7seas release's "The Ghost Takes a Bride, the Crown Prince Mounts the Bridal Sedan." I'm just personally working through the why's of how I'm getting a different translation of this and haven't yet changed it. The chapter title for 7seas' chapt. 2 is completely gone; it skips from "the third ascension" to "the ghost takes a bride..." This newly categorized segment of chapters in the final version covers content in chapters 1-3 of the 7seas release, the first chapter starting from the "three days later" and ending on the Xianle trio finding the little shrine to the Earth God/local god.

Major changes:

The only major change in this chapter is the scene where the Xianle trio come across the small shrine. In the draft version, the trio find the shrine to ask the local god for directions. The god comes out, is cowed by the brilliance of "Fu Yao" and "Nan Feng," directs them to the nearest big shrine, and disappears. In the final version, they only coincidentally stumble across the broken-down shrine, and the local god never appears. Instead, Xie Lian digs out a steamed bun from his robes to give as an offering, prays to the god for protection, and when asked by Fu Yao why he's "wasting his time" praying to a god that seems to have been long-abandoned, Xie Lian says,

“话不能这么说，对我来说是一个馒头的事，但是对人家而言可能很重要呢……诶诶诶，干嘛拉我。” "To me, it’s one steamed bun’s affair, but as far as everyone else is concerned, maybe it is very important…"

He is summarily dragged away by the other two with Fu Yao admonishing him about how it's "not important" and how Xie Lian should worry about his own lack of worshipers before praying to others.

Minor changes:

The tea master doesn't look at the bridal procession as it passes.

Xie Lian says "hello" to the silver butterfly.

When Nan Feng and Fu Yao introduce themselves, Xie Lian tells them he wasn't asking for their names instead of just thinking it.

Fu Yao is no longer obsessively wiping his fingers with a handkerchief, though he still ignores the tea Xie Lian pours for him. Also, it's stated that Xie Lian is the one who poured them tea, rather than tea just appearing in front of them, and Nan Feng thanks him, politely, for it.

The paragraph about how intelligent the two are is replaced with Xie Lian analyzing their characters, saying that Nan Feng is more cooperative than Fu Yao despite Nan Feng having the more explosive temper while Fu Yao appears "refined."

The part about Xie Lian going towards the forest to camp is deleted. He suggests they find somewhere to stay, and they just start walking on the road until the reach the tiny shrine.

Small note that I may revisit when I've read deeper into the revisions, but all mentions of what Ling Wen's palace does is gone. We don't get an explanation of her role, Xie Lian doesn't say he got the scroll from her (even though he does), the efficiency of her palace's work is omitted, etc. I don't know why this change was made, but yeah, as of now there's no explanation of what, exactly, Ling Wen does in the heavens.

rebrand content predictions

i say "predictions" in heavy air-quotes, it's really more of a pleading poke and a nudge to the universe, but there's 3 things of varying likelihood i would love to see in the new era below the cut. walk with me

REBRAND TRAILER (most likely) ooooo you wanna do another goofy trailer soooo bad. you wanna do more silly short film content soooo baddd the revival one was such a blast, and the sequel/subversion potential is Right There. listen i know deifying me as a prophet with my screenplay "pitch" (read: poorly disguised fanfic) might have its challenges, but consider: it would be so awesome. it would be so cool

PODCAST/STREAMING (plausible. here's how phodcast can still win. kind of) listen. now hear me out. i've been on team longform yapcast from day one, and i know plenty of other monologue-loving roombas feel the same. BUT. i feel like (assuming their setup doesnt go on the fritz) semi-consistent streaming (with uploaded/edited VODS) could scratch the same itch, hence why i lump them together. here's what i'm squinking. all the cool stuff they got to do with radio 1... BUT. full creative control. it's hot. its vogue. its full-circle. its got endless possibilities for segments and games and... dare i say... audience engagement.... imagine, if you will... similar formatting and segment ideas to my beloved dystopia daily... but live, on-stream, and with phil's brilliant mind manning the fun little games and tonal balance. bespoke activity area i miss you every day

DAN AND PHIL TRY ___ (not impossible, but of the three, my least likely hail mary) for those familiar, think something vaguely akin to The Grumps' Ten Minute Power Hour series, or something like Unus Annus (especially the ones where they go outside and goof off). for those not, imagine a sort of reclamation of the II era-- the "giving the people what they want" style of content. this time around, the guys challenge themselves to do stupid shit (like conjoined baking and codependency yoga) on their own terms. they're giving the people what they want. said stupid shit could be as small as trying food they've never had before or as ambitious as... i dunno. mini golf. naturally though, each video would have its own spin, and one unique to them. suffice to say. this would be beast as hell

that all being said, i love them, which means i love everything they make. i mean it with my whole fart when i say nothing they do in this new era content-wise would even remotely disappoint me-- i'm all over that shit, whatever it looks like. between both of their creative prowess, they've more than earned my excitement <3 phrebrand, i await you with open arms <3

WIP

I usually hate landscaping and doing the exterior of houses, but I'm having fun with it right now? The back of the house still need some work, though; I find it a bit bland compared to the front. And I don't think I ever made a house this colourful (save perhaps one tiny home, whose whole point was to be eye-torturing, colour-wise), but I love it.

The new pack has so many pretty objects and swatches, I love it! And it goes so well with Jungle Adventure (though, as always, I'm using way too many packs - as in, once it's finished, I'll probably have used nearly every pack/kit). And, I deleted my BB folder 'cause I really do prefer to build vanilla-style.

It's far from being finished, though, 'cause I still have all the interior to furnish/decorate (and knowing that I can spend six hours on a medium room, and that I have 15/16 rooms in this house... it's gonna been looooong).

Also, I think I'll make a family, to go with the home. 'cause I'm unable to build without having an idea of who lives in the house I'm making (and I always have personalized rooms to show who the people inhabiting it are), so I may as well create and share them too. For now, I just know that there are two parents (genders to be determined) and two kids (a teenage boy, and a child girl), and at least one of the adults is an archaeologist. There may be a fifth person, but I don't know who yet: either a third child or a grandparent. The boy has a grill stand on the front of the house, and his little sister sells stuff she makes (like jewellery or other crafts) on a table next to him. Also, the boy is LGBTQIA+. One of the adults paints, while the other is into fitness.

(and yes: I'm obsessed with plants and clutter) (also: I'm just going with the flow, so it's not like it's really representative of Mexican architecture; I mean, when I started building and made my shell, I intended to make another modern house - as it is my speciality with post-apo builds. But then I saw the new items, and well... So, it's just a vibe.)

"Townie Sims no longer occasionally unleash their Dogs before walking out of a neighborhood. There will be no more flashbacks to Seymour waiting in front of a pizza shop."

Hey Sims, why'd you gotta break my heart by mentioning Seymour Asses in a patch notes post?
