The WaterFireGod

Hi y'all!,

welcome to the second story of the "10-Things-Challenge".

First I´ll show you my hunt again, for them 10 new things. I basicly post here the notes I took while looking for prey, so you guys can have an idea about my decession-making (just leave out unnecessary stuff). I did that search a few days ago, on 28th march.

This time I started at tumblr, again picking a tag: #4to3 conversion. Then tumblr wanted to show me "The best blogs about 4to3 conversion", why not.

First entry is from the creator Ilvan, haven´t been on this site before. A lot of outdoor-stuff again, like yesterday, I love outdoor-stuff!:

1) Fountain Objects, from Ilvan on MTS That Animations of them water-walls look really awsome.

Not sure yet if the next scenery will be outdoor, it´s still possible that I will do something like yesterday and put outdoor-stuff inside a room.

Next thing in my timeline:

2) Monkey Bars, also from Ilvan

So that settles it, the next 10 things will be put in the garden. I´ll take the monkey-bar-version that has some ivy / vine on it, they are a lovely idea!

Next station is the site of azzazz03

There are some reblogs - and I´m lucky again, this table will just look great in the garden:

3) Coffeetable "cold stone", from @bast-sims .

That table is part of this awsome glam-vintage-set that I already downloaded months ago, but was not able to use yet, because all I did the whole winter was - right, sorting mods, I mentioned that already, I know…

Meanwhile I´m already back in July 2023 within my timeline, all the older entrys are familiar to me already, so again I follow some recommendation from tumblr:

rooshroom https://rooshroomttv.tumblr.com

has rebloged the set

4) "Nostalgia Living", from @bioniczombie

It includes

HiFiSystem, TV + TV Remote, VHS Tape, Wall Outlet (Steckdose) + Powerstrip (Mehrfachsteckerleiste), Cablebox (Kabeldose - ich denke für TV?), VCR - Video Cassette Recording, StandingFan + TableFan, Vintage Rug

(Sometimes I write down some words in my mothertongue in breaks, you can just ignore that.)

So, since I´m in the garden this time, this Wall Outlet + Powerstrip are very helpfull, in order to "use" electronics outside ;-) . And it makes no sense to put some fans outside, there is already some air in the garden ;-). Also a carpet doesn´t fit, if there´s any textiles on the ground, it might be towels or something like that. That leaves the electronics from this set.

*Counting-time*: Until now, I have

1-3 fountain objects 1 sport-object 1 table 1 Wall Outlet AND/OR 1 Powerstrip, not sure yet 1 (or) more electronic item

That makes 5-8 objects, so I have to continue searching - good, I´m not ready yet to quit the hunt, it´s to much fun!

Why not stay at bioniczombie ?, there are the options

Sims 3 Downloads, and Sims4to3-Downloads

that I can pick from.

My starting-tag today was #4to3 conversion, so why not stick to that - I pick "Sims4to3-Downloads".

Oh, that is sortet by the Sims 4 packs. Thats awsome, cause I never played that game and have no Idea about the content - why not just click on the first entry?, thats an

5) Expansion Pack, called "Get To Work"

I don´t believe this!, that is PLANTS!! It could not fit better with this garden-things of todays challenge!

Because of the name of the set I expected something work-relatet, like a boring-looking-briefcase (Aktenkoffer), a very-important-looking business-outfit, or some very-serious-looking-glasses, stuff like that. What I get instead is ALIEN plants, thats pretty much the opposite of boring-real-life-stuff!

But - I could have used work-relatet stuff too, for a story:

By littering the ground with it, plus a garden-chair (canvas chair?, Liegestuhl) and some clothes laying on the ground. (always keep in mind the 5 "wild objects" I add at the end).

STORY-ALERT

So for example a guy just came home from work at the office and gets rid of everything he´s carrying, just drops it right there in the garden, and jumps in the watertub.

Yes… I could use this idea in any case, actually. This way the TV of the nostalgica-set would fit in just nice: He´s sitting in the watertub and watching - OK, what is he actually watching? Some pron, or stock prices? Or both, in that order! Yeah. Both. Of course. What a cliche :-D - buuut this idea would work.

So maybe this time no sim will die?

Who knows… After all, these are alien plants, so you-don´t-know-where-its-been!

This idea gives me some great Donald-Sutherland-vibes :-D

@bioniczombie says about them:

"They don´t change with the seasons"

I wouldn´t expect them to, cause they are ALIEN, who knows how they function and all. Maybe they can not be touched. Their surface might be kinda imune to human-gravity+stuff-like-that.

I can´t wait to put some alien plants into a garden :-D !

HUNT IS OVER for this time.

The screenshots I´ll put again in the next blog-post.

Will take a moment, I still have some last-changes to do.

this is Giulia Feliciano, the middle child!

shes... artsy... but im so mad! the game wont randomize the artistic trait for her! and shes already a teen.. T_T

she just woke up one day and wanted to paint, and that she did!

really like her... i shouldn't have favorites but i think she's pretty neat

Here's my attempt at Cjplays' latest Sims 3 shell challenge! I went with a modern/industrial theme and I'm honestly really happy with how it turned out. I used no store content or CC, except the stencil remover mod which you don't need to have for lots where it was used on to appear correctly. It was challenging, but super fun! If you want to download it, here ya go! Just plop it in your library folder. Lot size: 20x20

*Requires all EPs and SPs (except KPST)* DOWNLOAD

Some bloopers from Norton's bachelor challenge 🤡

You could spot Fiorella arguing with almost every female crossing her path

I laughed as this is all I saw, but I know she was just beating up this girl

She even ended up her friendly meeting with Norton to go "talk" to this passenger.

Of course, her being enemies with Catherine was fun to watch whenever they were at the same place more than 2 seconds

Funny enough it was all just staring at each other with anger, I never saw them talking

Catherine was very...intense. This poor lady was just talking to Norton, and she autonomously slapped her and beat her up 👀

Also, on her first day on board the cruise captain drowned in his private pool and she was so happy (I didn't save)

Pretty sure she killed that one girl at the bar !

... and she killed Norton as he was joining Fiorella for their friendly meeting 😂 (I didn't save)

To finish, one night Fiorella appeared out of nowhere to watch Norton sleep, c-r-e-e-p-y. Let's say she got the wrong cabin haha

More Snowy Days in Henford - Mt. Komorebi 🏔️

Bianca (the featured kitty) was so protective of Peony! Kept following her around especially when she was outside playing in the snow 🥹

The start of a lepacy ⤜♡→ GENERATION ONE: BASE GAME Recommended Town: Sunset Valley or any town that only needs the Base Game. Humble beginnings! The base game; the very beginning of the Sims 3 franchise. What better way to start out by experiencing the base game itself? Like you’ve never experienced it before! - Have your sim get a career of their choice (must be from the base game) - Have your sim meet the love of their life either from work, or even a pedestrian - You CANNOT get married until you reach level four of your career - You CANNOT have kids until you reach level four of your career - Pick up a hobby and reach at least between level three to five (Gardening, Logic, etc.) - Have a boy and a girl (or as many as you want) - Complete aspiration and/or reach the top of your career

The WaterFireGod, Story + Screenshots

Here´s the first entry including the links, in case you might wanna open it in a new tab to compare the items from the list.

This time, for the "wild objects", EA-stuff wasn´t enough, so I had to use some CC. Because my mod-collection is still in utterly chaos, I was going on the hunt. Bioniczombies alien-plants inspired me to look for any sims3-stuff that is alien-realted.

Actually, I found so much lovely stuff, that I will continue this alien-scenery a little bit, after the challenge is finished :-) !

But first things first - let´s do the counting again, of the 10 things I found at random, plus the 5 wild objects I picked on purpose:

PICTURE A)

So what´s this TV doing outside a house?

Next Pic will have a clue -

---> Object No 1: Coffeetable from Bast

---> Object No 2+3: TV + TV Remote from BionicZombie

---> Object No 4+5: Wall Outlet + Powerstrip from BionicZombie

PICTURE B)

Obviously, some stupid sim was, again, obsessed with looking very hard for some stupid aliens.

Yeah - just talked to this guy, and he told me, some aliens actually showed up on the televsion-screen to finaly answer his desperate calls. He wants them to get him pregnant.

And… did they suceed?

I mean, to show up in this garden.

---> Wild Object No 1:

Telescope from EA

PICTURE C)

Well, did they?!

Looks like it!

(Thats pic contains all objects I used in that scenery)

PICTURE D)

Or maybe they came in the dark of the night?:

PICTURE E)

…or at dawn?

PICTURE F)

However, now they are here. Thats what they always say in the movies, too!

This portal is heavely guarded… by some gigantic alien-plants. Of course it is.

---> Object No 6: Alien Plants from @bioniczombie

(That mod inspired me for this whole alien-thing, it was the last mod I found on my hunt - I already thought about another story, but changed my mind when I saw them plants; you can read about it in part 1 of the WaterFireGod. FireWaterGod? I always mix it up :-D)

PICTURE G)

And where did them aliens come from?

Well, I found these creatures on TSR. And also their creator!:

---> Wild Object No 2: Alien Statue from Lisa9999

PICTURE H)

They are in the company of some beautyful glowing flowers. Or is it flowery lights? Who knows, it´s alien-science.

---> Object No 7+8: This lights are part of the Fountain-set from Ilvan

PICTURE I)

What kind of futuristic tunnel did they come through?

Ugh, you don´t wanna know. This alien-obsessed sim who called that guys, he improvised something whith the monkeybar from his garden. You know how them nerds are.

---> Object No 9: Monkey Bars from Ilvan

PICTURE J)

And before you ask: No, the flowers on the monkey-bar where not grown by them aliens. The sim quit doing any sport and didn´t use that thing for a long time (we already know what he was so busy with instead). So mother nature took over that item.

PICTURE K)

*Behold* that gate.

To my fellow World of Warcraft-players out there, grrreetings, now THATS what I call a portal - GULDAN EAT THIS :-D !

--> Wild Object No 3:

From the Set Emerald dream flora and deco, from @lunenore

That is Sylvanes. She is on TSR, too!

PICTURE L) Lets get a little bit closer…

This stuff from the emerald dream-pack is around 10 years old, and just now I discover it. I already knew Sylvanes' awsome CAS-characters from world of warcraft, but never checked out her mods in detail. Now finaly I did.

---> Object No 10: The Water-Wall is part of the Fountain-set from Ilvan

LIMIT of the-10-things is FULL!

PICTURE M)

Let´s get even more close, so you can see whats etched into the stone:

Now you saw it. (Didn´t say you will be able to *read* it...)

PICTURE N)

Now let me finish the story:

The aliens send a device (on the right) to reach out to the WaterFireGod (on the left).

To us, its just the dragonfish as we know it, swimming around, spitting some fire, doing his thing.

To them - its a GOD!

Sure, what else did you expect?

--> Wild Object No 4:

Fishbowl, from the Cosmic Study Set, from Majik Goldies

--> Wild Object No 5:

The Alien-Fountain, again from Majik Goldies

LIMIT of "5 wild objects" is FULL!

Another challange finished.

And what about the story, is that finished, too?

PICTURE O)

They came to this (sim-)world to ask the dragonfish...

…someveryimportandurgentquestions.

PICTURE P)

But no matter what questions they asked, the answers of that little guy always sounded to them alien visitors like "42".

So maybe it was just a translation-problem. Everybody knows how sophisticated fishes are if it comes to language. Not everyone is. Maybe them aliens were not that smart how they thought they are.

PICTURE Q)

At least that was the only conclusion for them, they left frustrated (no they didn´t kill anyone out of anger, this time no one died, really, I promise!).

Maybe one day they will come back and give it a try again, after they learned about this guy, douglas adams, and that the answer to everything is, indeed, 42.

PICTURE R)

And yes, I actually cheated my test-sim to fishing-level 10, put some dragonfish in the ground and made the test-sim fishing that cute guy. I just HAD to, after I found this awsome fishing-bowl from Majik Goldies. It is so old, and because of that the texture so blurred, that one might think, this blurred look of that item is on purpuse :-D

I didn´t now Majik Goldies' stuff before, just learned about that creator a few days ago, by coincidence, because of this little challenge.

Credits for the story go to a lot of people, all of them CC-creators in the first place, and the Creators of the Sims 3 of course, but also guys like Douglas Adams, Chris Metzen, Duncan Jones, Steven Spielberg, and it´s actually impossible for me to remember any more where my brain picked up all that stuff.

See y'all!

[ravsimblr]
