Psssst! Hey! Yes, you! We need to talk about clubs:

Using the Clubs for Immersive Gameplay

Of all the systems that Sims 4 has, the club feature is probably one of my favourites (Restaurants are a close second, but they're not why we're here today!) Clubs are one of the easiest ways to increase your immersion when you play and make the random townies that show up on community lots just a tiny bit less random.

The Basics

Often, people are mostly concerned with the groups their active sims are in. You might already have a club to keep track of your sims' closest friends, study group, or baby daddies, we don't judge here.

Clubs are also a great way to automate what you want your sim to be doing with less micromanaging, but for immersion, we're actually more interested in clubs for the sims you don't (or rarely) play.

WTF are the neighbours doing?

Most of the pre-made clubs are kinda meh. I prefer to add my own so I can make my community lots just a bit more lively and make sure people's activities make just a tiny bit of sense because the autonomy in this game is not great. These are just for inspiration based on clubs I often add to my own game:

A group of teens who meet at the retail clothing store to try on clothes and gossip about Nancy's nose job or whatever.

A local bowling league (complete with uniforms) who meet and bowl - just don't fuck with The Jesus.

An HOA of Karens who meet at the park to clean, raise property values, and be mean to people.

Geeks and gamers who meet at the local arcade to awkwardly flirt over pizza.

Comedians who meet at the local comedy club - you can even use the club doors to make a VIP backroom only for the performers.

Sports teams - such as a basket team who meets at a local basket court, or a swim team who meets at the local pool (you can even give them tiny matching speedos!)

Scouts! The scout feature is cute but it's a rabbit hole, boo! But you can make a Scouts club, complete with uniforms, and have them show up in parks where they can do various activities and work on their badges. Add a teen or two to supervise the younglings, their parents will be so proud, aww.

A sorority or fraternity in university who meet up at the local bar in matching varsity jackets to make all the other students feel inferior.

A group of old ladies who meet at the park to knit or cross-stitch and brag about the accomplishments of their descendants.

A "business" club, usually CEOs, lawyers and such, who meet in fancy bars to hold important business meetings and probably commit white-collar crimes, so predictable.

If you have a sim with an office/work from home job and you'd like to pretend they actually go to work, you can make an office building and a group of "coworkers" who'll show up to drink coffee, chat, and work on computers next to them in the office. It'll even simulate rotating desk assignments for an instant capitalist hellscape!

The possibilities are endless, and I find the club feature really useful to add little interesting scenarios to the background of my gameplay.

Thanks to SQOTD for inspiring this!

Hi, could you share which ROS events you use please 😀

I know I'd shared these a couple times before, but I scrolled back a bit and it's definitely changed a lot since the last time, which was August 2022! Back then I had 48 on the list, now it's up to 70.

Putting more info and the full list behind a cut to save your dash!

I just keep all my gameplay notes and stuff on my ipad, easiest for me. I don't use an ROS program or anything so there's no weighting, no major or minor scenarios etc. I just use Siri or random.org to pick a number.

The scenarios are a mix of other people's lists I've found, plus ones I've made up myself. It's pretty nice to my Sims so there aren't any death or divorce ones or anything lol. I've removed some I used to use as my gameplay has evolved, if they no longer fit.

[weaselle]

i just finished up a real cool sims 4 build. Like REALLY cool. I'm just sayin

it's for any or all types of occult types or career specialists to live together in a big compound

we're talking like, underground secret lairs for alien/scientist/astronaut and vampire/villain/secret agent, mermaid bedroom that the outdoor pool comes into under a glass wall

like, the subterranean ruins of the ancient vampire royal court has swirling mist drifting across the broken stone floor... it's pretty dope

hold on

i'm just... i didn't even include the subterranean magic grotto with the hot spring and glowing mushrooms and crystals with the flying saucer wreck. Or the multiple rabbit hole cavern entrances down caved in corridors underground. Or the home gym and sauna.

i tried to make there be gameplay reasons to be in each space, like the alien lab has a grow room to grow plants if you want, and a sixam mosquito trap plant you can care for and harvest, as well as the robotics station with a servo in it and Bulbous the experimental pet rodent that occasionally goes on space missions of his own. That's why the alien grotto has a hot spring and a meditation cushion, and why the ancient vampire ruins has a plasma fruit tree, so everywhere you go you have something to get or do

anyway

helix369 on the gallery if you're interested, i'd love some feedback

This ask isn't directly for Wilbur or the blog, but rather the person who runs this. A bit of an ooc ask about world building and expanding this universe since I'm invested

Are we as the audience perceived as people in this universe watching this show/documentary about Utah at our homes, sending in questions via telephone. Or are we just random people that show up in the gas station and keep coming back one by one at random times to talk about the "Dabi cosplayer". (I'd like the imagine the second one; just a but of faceless people pressed up against the glass outside asking the weirdest questions. Fits the vibe)

Do you, the owner of this blog, have a part to play in the universe? Are you the director to the show, a main camera man, or something else.

The fanart that's made for this blog, I'd like to imagine it's—again—just faceless people running up and slapping drawings they make on the convince store windows and running off, leaving the producers and Wilbur with it. Stuff like that :]

Im gonna be honest I said I was gonna do author q&a today specifically so I could answer this ask because I feel weird just answering it willy-nilly

I tend to be... pretty bad at storytelling. I always get wayyy too into my own head, and things get so complicated to a degree where only I can understand whats going on, which is something im obviously trying very hard to avoid. However I don't wanna sacrifice the story I want to tell, so I'm just doing my best here.

One of the biggest limitations right now is that I'm just struggling to explain exactly how the world works/the translation between "Utah" and irl/us. The biggest ones are time and what exactly is being aired, because obviously it doesn't take one whole day to answer two questions, but I don't have the energy to answer more than two q's per day. And of course the 'film crew' arent actually filming Wilbur while he's sleeping or anything like that, but it's hard to tell the story I want to tell without having scenes like that. Im hoping that things will get smoother as we go, but for now I've just been making it so that episodes that dont have 'transcript's in them aren't filmed (or have "artist rendition" notes), and lets say that even though its been over a month of answering questions for us, it's only been two or three weeks for wilbur.

As for what you guys are, you're viewers who are calling in from home! Kinda like a radio show. No one is physically showing up to the store or his house (that would be really funny though). I did have some scrapped ideas that I may bring back later about the film crew, but for now "they" dont have any deeper place in the story. I'm the camera man, I guess! I've been imagining it as just some guy with a camera in one hand, a headset to listen to calls, and a little paper pad to write down answers.

There are 886 asks in the inbox right now! Not all of them are asks, some of them are just comments about whats happening (which I love, I <3 hearing what you guys think) but unfortunately I can't answer all of them. I have a general outline so whenever I do pick story/plot asks, its ones that fit that outline, and every other time I just try to be funny.

nor/mal (jk. he/they/xe)

I was typing out the whole story and reasoning behind the pictures I chose but it was getting way too long (because I ended up going down a rabbit hole). Basically I found an old blog from 2010 where a girl had posted a picture of her room, it was a very positive post so I didn't think it would be offensive to use it (also there's a comment from 2016 on the blog post asking if the image can be used as reference, no reply, the author of the blog has not logged in for years). The bathroom was made in the Sims 4/I used pictures of my own dorm bathroom

smoked a blunt in the woods and thought about cwilbur's character arc a little too hard

im shy 👉👈

fucks me up that people continue to think about this blog after liking/reblogging

Cooking Scrolls [Ancient Roman Theme]

These cooking scrolls work like my Keto Cookbook and can be found unde the  small appliances category. You can make 19 different types of Ancient Roman dishes through them.

Each dish requires different cooking level, there are also 4 grand dishes that require gourmet skill.

3 of the meshes for the dishes were conversions of TSM dishes.

All dishes can be cooked off-the-grid.

From the Cooking Scrolls, you can also execute two extra interactions (Buy Ingredients or Go Hunting).

You can buy 26 different ingredients (mostly different types of chopped meat, I went slightly overboeard because in my personal game I built Butcher Shoppe for my Sims to go and buy).

Go hunting will send your Sim in a rabbit hole for 1-2 hours, their hyagene and energy will decrease, but their fun will increase and they'll develop fitness skill. There are 7 different types of carcass they can come home with (boar, rabbit, lamb, goose, duck, phesant or chicken). All ingredients (from buy and hunting) have EA and Srsly tags, so you can use them as ingredients in other recipes as well, by other creators or in EA recipes.

This is part 2 of 3 dedicated to Ancient Roman Theme.

(You can check part 1 dedicated to Roman fast food taverns HERE, Part 3 is coming in May will cover Wine Making and building vineyard and Winery).

[delta-lethonomia]

Decided to draft up Tav's house in Rivington after looking at all the houses in-game and deciding none of them were appropriate. Successfully resisted the urge to fall down a rabbit hole regarding medieval home design... ANYWAY I used the Sims 4 to do a draft which was a great idea because some of the scenes I had imagined didn't make any sense layout-wise, and it's vitally important that Tav's bedroom have south-facing windows! (For plot reasons. Yes.)

South-facing windows, of course, bring in the most light (at least in the northern hemisphere), but that brings me to my next question: what is the Latitude of Baldur's Gate?

Anyway some quick google searches imply it's around 37 degrees, so roughly the same latitude of San Francisco, a city I am very familiar with, and the Sword Coast is based on the West Coast of the US, so I'm just gonna assume the weather is pretty similar. (There's a video on youtube about the Geopolitics of Faerun based on the map given - pretty fun!)

Because of this my brain decided Rivington = Oakland, but I still desperately want to look up medieval home design and contrast it with what we're given in-game, my little Sims adventure turned into a solid 8 hours of gaming, aaand I ended up falling down the "corsets are good, actually" side of youtube again (curse you, Morgan Donner, and your adorable medieval cabin!!!)

The job hunt is going great, why do you ask? 😂🥲 (jk it's on hold because now I'm moving, soon. Probably. Maybe? But the fic is going great!)

Disclaimer: This challenge is a 2.0 version (or more? I don’t know) of the Black Widow Challenge that already exists but with different rules & goal. I mostly wrote this for myself but I figured: why not share it out there if anyone wants to try it out. It's totally possible something like this already exists so I'm not claiming originality for the idea of making a challenge out of killing Sims 😈

Your Sim wants to be rich, live a simple life but most of all, has had enough of living in their small apartment while doing odd jobs going nowhere. And what’s better than marrying someone rich? The only problem to this answer: your Sim is not really into the whole marriage thing. Luckily, accidents happen.

Your Sim has to go from a life of misery in a San Myshuno apartment to living in the house of their dreams in the world of their choice. Your Sim has to marry many Sims (especially the wealthy!) and each spouse has to experience a different death.

MAKING YOUR SIM -

Your Sim can have any trait you want, but they must have at least ONE negative trait of your choosing.

Pick an ASPIRATION among the ones below and try to complete it before becoming an elder:

- Serial Romantic - Villainous Valentine - Mansion Baron - Fabulously Rich

THE APARTMENT -

Pick an apartment among the less expensive in the Spice Market district of San Myshuno: Culpepper House, Jasmine Suites or build your own on the Old Salt House lot.

After moving in use the cheat code MONEY and give yourself a budget of 25 000 to decorate your apartment the way you want.

WORKING -

You should have a Level 1 job or something part-time. The goal is not to develop any sort of career, if your Sim obtains a promotion you immediately quit and start a new job. Once you get married, you’re done working for the rest of your Sim life!

You can do any sort of activity that brings you some money such as writing books, knitting, painting, programming OR even become a landlord. You simply can not have a job / develop any sort of career. 

GETTING MARRIED -

Before being able to marry any of your spouse you should check a few things off of your list:

- Have Love and Friendship above 50 (easy!) - You must have the status of boyfriend/girlfriend. - You must have two dates: one at your home and one on a community lot. - Go on a “weekend getaway” aka spend a romantic night out in another world (on a rental lot).

DYING SPOUSE - 

There are around 34 Deaths in the Sims 4. Each of your spouse needs to experience a different kind of death. Because of this, you can do this challenge two ways:

- One Sim: Do as many deaths as possible in your lifespan. You can use potions to live longer if you want to do ALL deaths. - Legacy style: have children carry on the death of the spouses once your own Sim dies of old age. 

YOU CAN - 

- Have as many children as you want or not have any at all with your spouses, you can adopt, or have zero children. The choice is yours! - Have pets, horses, goats, and whatever animal you wish to! 

This is a list of all the possible deaths with each corresponding pack. Some are not on the list such as the ones from the High School Years pack since these deaths only work on teenagers.

Hunger Fire Old Age Overexertion Electrocution Anger Embarrassment Laughter Cow Plant Drowning Meteor Steam - Spa Day Pufferfish poisoning - City Life Sun - Vampires Poison -  Jungle Adventure Rodent Fever - My First Pet Mother Plant - Strangerville Overheating - Seasons Freezing - Seasons Lightning - Seasons Flowers - Seasons Fish Pond -  Get Famous Sharks- Island Living Research Machines -  Discover University Magic Overload - Realm of Magic Murphy Bed - Tiny Living Flies - Eco Lifestyle Beetle Juice - Eco Lifestyle Vending Machine - Snowy Escape Fall - Snowy Escape Killer Chicken - Cottage Living Killer Rabbit - Cottage Living Mold - For Rent Wishing Well -  Romantic Gardens

STEP 1

Life in San Myshuno! Your apartment, the odd jobs, the dates until you finally meet THE ONE, get engaged and finally GET MARRIED.

STEP 2

The married life! Move in with your spouse, get a lover on the side while waiting for you spouse to die. Once you’ve reached 50 in love and friendship with your lover you can actively help with your spouse’s death.

STEP 3

Marriage number 2! Bulldoze your first’s spouse house and get the cash, move in with your second spouse, wait or help for their death once you’ve gotten married (no need to have a lover this time unless you want to).

STEP 4

The Dream House! Bulldoze your second spouse’s home once they die, get the cash and move to the world of your choosing and build the house of your dreams! Keep on marrying sims, nudge their death, cash the money and live your best life.

The animals you have to have two of should be one male and one female. You may skip the animals of the packs you don't own. You can also have rabbits, birds and wild foxes on your lot by adding the items and lot traits from Cottage Living as well as the bees from Seasons and insects from Eco Lifestyle.

This Sim is solely responsible for taking care of each of these animals and keeping all of them happy every day.

The animals that can breed should have at least one offspring (kittens, puppies, foals and chicks) if possible. You may change some of the animals that require two of each to one animal so you can have more baby animals.

You may summon Bonehilda, hire a ranch hand, butler or maid to help take care of the animals if you find yourself struggling too much, but the idea is that you do it all on your own.

After finishing the Country Caretaker aspiration, you may start the Friend of the Animals aspiration. After completing that aspiration, you may start and complete Championship Rider. After that you can start and complete Angling Ace (keeping each unique fish you catch). Finally you can start and complete The Curator (once again keeping each unique animal you collect).

To make things even more challenging, you can try mastering the Fishing, Pet Training and Veterinarian skills from Cats & Dogs as well as the Riding, Endurance, Temperament, Agility and Jumping skills from Horse Ranch.

If any animals die before dying of old age or get taken away due to neglect, you fail the challenge.

That's it! Hope you have fun playing this challenge and please tag me in any videos or posts if you do!

Floral Sims Legacy Challenge

Welcome!

Welcome to my sims legacy challenge! I know a few challenges have been made around floriograhphy but hey, I wanted to give it a go too! All the sims are based around an aspect of nature within the sims - some more obvious than others. The most important thing is enjoying this challenge - don’t worry if things go awry and you don’t complete it all! A flower can lose a petal and still flourish, as can you with this challenge! 

Some general rules here, no big deal if you bend them a little

Cheats can be used, just not excessively

If you have an extra traits mod, spouses can have more traits but please keep to just 3 with the heirs!

The heir can be any gender unless stated otherwise

With each gen, start with 20,000 - spend as much as you want building/furnishing a house or move into a premade starter and save your simoleons

Please use the lot traits if specified however if none are you can use any! If there are traits specified feel free to use any more around it, but give priority slots to specified ones!

There is a little hint for each generation

Introduction:

Hi everyone! I decided to take it upon myself to make a sims 3 BACC that I felt satisfied with the rules and restrictions and done similar to BACCs that I've seen done for the sims 2 and 4. This is a living tumblr post and will continuously be updated as I play the challenge myself and see what fits for each restriction I have set. I am very much open to any feedback/opinions on anything regarding this challenge since I want it to be enjoyable to the simblr community and for those who have played the sims 2 BACC and were missing it for the sims 3. This challenge has mods in mind but if anyone would like, I am open to adjusting rules for a non-modded gameplay if needed.

Credit goes to these simmers for giving me inspiration for this challenge, viewing their own challenges and rules helped shape what I personally would like for a sims 3 BACC seeing as I have played some of these challenges myself: @melsie-sims2(Sims 2 BACC), Original Sims 2 BACC, @ts4-bacc(Sims 4 BACC), and finally the Nothing is Free Challenge on MTS by Avalikia

Additional Notes

-Last updated: 5/2/2024

Rules:

1. This challenge is meant to be played rotationally and every sim must be played. That also means that the households must be played the same amount of days to keep aging consistent across each household. Aging is also up to you. 2. Mods are recommended especially for having an easier way to do businesses, Ani’s Merchant mod is a great place to start. If desired I can provide alternate rules & restrictions for no mods gameplay. 3. Services may not be used until you’ve unlocked them, a smoke alarm isn’t allowed until you’ve unlocked the first position for the Firefighter career and the burglar alarm isn’t allowed until a branch has been unlocked in the Law Enforcement career. 4. Sims can own rabbit-hole lots and that can count towards a business, provided the sim has money for it. Though they can’t own a rabbit-hole and a sim-owned business at the same time, it has to be one or the other. 5. Skill-building items aren’t allowed to start off with until your sims earn the simoleons for it. 6. Sims aren’t allowed cars until there’s a car business in the town. Taxis aren’t allowed either until there’s a City Hall established. 7. Electricity isn’t unlocked until a sim has maxed the handiness skill. From there, one computer is allowed per household until an electronics business has been established. 8. When a computer has been unlocked, there are limitations to the build/buy category until the Architect career or a Furniture store has been established or that specific object has a business/rabbit-hole for it, like pet items needing a pet store or no bookshelf until there’s a bookstore, etc. Each household is only allowed to buy 2 items per rotation. However, it’s up to you how realistic and difficult you want your gameplay to be. 9. Boarding schools aren’t allowed until level 5 of the Education career has been unlocked. 10. Sims are allowed to sell items from their inventory. Rocks, gems, and metals can’t be sold in their inventory until the first two positions of the science career have been unlocked. 11. Custom careers are allowed, it's up to you how you want those restrictions set.

                                               ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

Starting Out:

You must start in an empty world or bulldoze the lots in a world. You’re only allowed residential homes for your sim and a small park as a free starting Community lot. You are free to start with a singular sim or roll a die and start with however many sims you roll and divide them into households or one singular household. There are different ways to start out your sim/sims: 

Start your sims with an empty lot and no simoleons

Start them with 10,000 simoleons to build small homes for them or you may start them with already built houses with the bare necessities and no skill building objects:

A fridge, counters, and a stove

Enough beds for all the sims

A couch and small table

A toilet, sink, and shower/tub

After a home has been established, set the household simoleons down to 100 to get started.

                                               ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

Unlocking Restrictions:

Each unlock, only gets 1 position open in a career. To keep advancing in a career and unlock all the positions, multiple sims need to max out the specific skill required for a career. Though there are different requirements for each career.

A few of the careers have different requirements for their branches, you may use the previous sims that had unlocked the earlier positions of the careers to unlock the next positions in the branches or use new sims to unlock the different branch positions depending on the requirement. This is the only exception to the previous rule.

                                               ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

Travel:

For sims to be able to travel, you must collect 500,000 in taxes to unlock travel, unlock 7 services, and have at least 15 households. After traveling has been unlocked, your sims are free to travel anywhere without any further restrictions.

                                               ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

Taxes:

Taxes aren’t established until you have a City Hall in your town and a sim is in the Political career. Taxes will help contribute costs to unlocking the University and Travel for your town. You are also free to use mods to help with taxes as well and set them to your liking. Sims must get taxed on the last day of their household being played in a rotation. Sims that have 100 simoleons or lower are exempt from paying taxes.

Taxing households:

10% for regular households(households that don’t have any sims owning a business or rabbit-hole)

12% if sims in a household own a sim-owned business/rabbit-hole

15% for rich households

Taxing benefits:

If a household has only unemployed sims, they are given 130 simoleons

Single sims with children are given 150 simoleons

Parents with only toddlers are given 150 simoleons                       

                                               ─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

Additional Notes:

I didn't set Into the Future restrictions since I personally don't send my sims into the future, so it's up to the player on how they want to set restrictions on that.

There's no proper/formal goal for this challenge compared to other BACC challenges. The only main goal is unlocking everything and there's no population multiplier besides the sim CAS points.

This challenge isn't meant to be hard or super difficult besides it being a long challenge. Your game is your game and you're allowed to change things to your liking to make it easy and fun for you to play. Like previously stated I am open to changing things to make them more fun and feedback is always appreciated!

We Need to Talk About Katy Perry & The Sims

Listen, I think I am throwing myself down some form of rabbit hole when it comes to Katy Perry and the Sims, but this is something that needs to be studied in the history books. The whole Katy Perry franchise stuff in the Sims 3 specifically feels like a fever dream, I really thought my brain had just made it up. I was watching one of those videos about celebrities and their random endorsements and how they just end up doing the most random things, like all those apps inspired by Kim Kardashian: Hollywood all those years ago. Then there was the other rabbit hole on how celebrities will just end up doing the most random things; this was a video posted by Mike's Mic which I'm going to drop below in case you want to see it all. I mean think about it,,, does anyone remember when Ariana Grande had a skin available to buy on Fortnite and when Travis Scott performed in Roblox? A literal fever dream I fear.

But Katy Perry feels like a literal social experiment to me. She went to the other side of the world in order to pump out the Sims 3 franchise with all this content heavily inspired by the California Gurls music video, but for what reason other than to be extra? I still don't know if these packs were anything more than a cash grab, but alas. Let's delve into the history of Katy working with the franchise.

The Sims 3 Showtime, the expansion pack without Katy Perry was released 6 March 2012. The expansion pack featured a brand new town to live in, new jobs that you could go along with your Sim to, and of course a bunch of new objects and outfits. It introduced the concept of being famous in the Sims franchise through being different types of performers where you could earn money through busking, attending people's homes for private performances and ultimately haggling with event managers to ask them if your Sim can perform a set at their venue. Depending on your celebrity status, it can effect if the manager will say yes or no. I know this pack like the back of my hand because I would always make my Sim become a singer and had to deal with every form of rejection for the longest time before I got my Sim up to a 4 star celebrity (and then the laptop with that save file on died so I don't remember what happened after that).

The Katy Perry collectors version of Showtime was released on the same day and included the 'Ultimate Stage' venue to perform at. The collectors edition also came with Katy Perry style objects, hairstyles, costumes and performance props all using the concept art from Katy's second studio album Teenage Dream.

The trailer for the collectors expansion pack is insane by the way because it is literally just an animated version of Katy on the 'Ultimate Stage' as she ironically performs The One That Got Away which shows items from the pack and some other relationships happening. It all feels very glorified and perhaps a little bit icky. However, did I own this collectors edition pack? Of course, and I did love it.

On 5th June 2012, Katy Perry then decided to go further into the lore of The Sims and release Sweet Treats, which wasn't an expansion pack and it wasn't a stuff pack, it was just a pack. The pack featured a bunch of different types of items to the point it never went under a theme as to what type of an expansion pack that really was.

Despite this pack not featuring a town, it did on the other hand feature three new venues which you could add to your Sims town. The first example is The Bonbon Lawn Park which you guessed it, is completely filled to the brim with huge cheugy pieces of candyfloss surrounding the area and gingerbread themed park items for the children to play on.

Next up is Patty's Natural Baths which is also ironically the most natural looking premade lot to use for the town. It is just a public pool which is decorated with a couple of gingerbread home frames to spruce up the area a little bit. I think it's cute, it's not over the top and is more just themed with more pastel colours which I think makes the area look more inviting and exciting.

Lastly, the worst building of them all. The Cake Pleasure Dome which makes me feel sick just from looking at it. The walls and floor covered in sickly colours, giant lollipops placed around the entire lot and a lot that is so spacious, but with so much empty space around it. As if the lot was not used to its full potential, the vision was there, but it gives me nothing but the ick.

The outfits for the pack feel more like they are made for the expansion of Showtime, but were items that simply didn't make the cut maybe because there wasn't enough room on the disc to include it, I'm really not sure. As if that wasn't enough, but you have the choice to completely bulldoze your home and recreate it into a real walk in gingerbread house.

The pack states that there are 28 different types of clothing and hairstyles with only two of these pieces being for male Sims, perhaps this makes sense or it really doesn't. The hairstyles I kind of get, my Sims just wouldn't be slaying in the right way with giant cupcakes in their hair.

I am not kidding one bit when I say that every piece of furniture is also all ice cream, gingerbread, diabetes infused pieces and just an eyesore to the eyes, but when discussed in the context of Teenage Dream then it does start to make sense, a little bit.

Further into the lore of Katy Perry,,,

The literal in game Sim of Katy Perry featured which comes with no personality traits, hot pink hair and was created just for promotional purposes in the game. It feels as though the game simply created an empty skin NPC character which someone could tweak with if they chose to do so. Studying these packs, I feel like I have come up with more questions rather than the answers. Apparently, going deep into the lore, Katy Perry has said that she loves The Sims franchise, and she did record an entire simlish cover of Hot N Cold for The Sims 2, so I do believe her but I do feel like her involvement with The Sims could have simply stopped there.

Actually no I'm lying, she even came back to record Last Friday Night in Simlish for Sims 3 too. You are so welcome.

In terms of The Sims and celebrity lore, while Katy Perry put her whole pussy and more into pushing the franchise, there are actually a ton of other celebrity endorsements and appearances in the game that I really just need to talk about at the end of this post;

The Black Eyed Peas have an ENTIRE storyline in The Urbz: Sims In The City, please don't ask why but they do. In one version of the console game, you gain yourself reputation and have Will.I.Am as your mentor to help you become the coolest person on the street, don't believe me? CallMeKevin has an entire segment about his gameplay on YouTube.

Andy Warhol has an entire NPC which is made in tribute to him in The Sims: Superstar,,,, but as it turns out the expansion pack features many tributes to different celebrities both living and dead.

The pack also featured Marilyn Monroe, Avril Lavigne and Christina Aguilera ??? I'm just as stunned as everyone else here.

Millie Bobby Brown has a Sim which can be downloaded from the gallery in The Sims 4, but she also appeared in the game as the events coordinator for the Positivity Challenge. Her Sim would give your Sim a box of kindness and you could gain more decorative rewards by being nice to your neighbours.

Thanks for coming down this rabbit hole with me, I hope we all learned something new and fun today.
