Ожидание: красивая спонтанная свадьба на фестивале романтики — а-ля Вегас по-симски.

Реальность: в назначенный день Акира услужливо сообщил другу, что у него появился некий тайный воздыхатель на фестивале романтики. Угадаете с трех раз, кто оказался этим ТаЙнЫм ВоЗдЫхАтЕлЕм?

Мико решила по старой дружбе пофлиртовать с Диего, что вызвало у Пенни тотальный разрыв всего и заставило бедняжку стать ревнивицей и возненавидеть любой флирт. Остается только догадываться о том, что гуру романтики подразумевала под «массажем спины»!

Диего получил от разгневанной невесты серию пощечин, а няша-добряша Мико в это время откровенно наслаждалась происходящим, покатываясь от смеха. Друзья и знакомые пары в большинстве своем и вовсе проигнорировали приглашение на фестиваль.

Несмотря на то, что шкала романтики между ними упала практически до нуля, Диего и Пенни всё же смогли обменяться кольцами. У этих двоих всё должно идти по плану!

А когда мероприятие подошло к концу и молодожены удалились в спальню (там тоже всё прошло довольно неплохо), Мико решила начать бомбардировать Диего пассивно-агрессивными сообщениями в социальной сети. Веселая вышла свадьба, что тут скажешь.

НО САМЫМ ВЕСЕЛЫМ ОКАЗАЛОСЬ ТО, ЧТО ДЕД ПРОКИНУЛ НАС С НАСЛЕДСТВОМ И ПОСЛЕ СВАДЬБ�� ДИЕГО И ПЕННИ НЕ ПОЛУЧИЛИ НИ СИМОЛЕОНА

I've started a new rotational save with EA Sims only, no aging (for now), just getting to know everyone.

I'm really enjoying it so I've decided to document it here. I've started in Foundry Cove, Willow Creek with Sierra Moss. She was the Sim in the Get to Work promo video and I've always wondered about playing her.

She lives at the end of the street, in a cute little home by @pocketfullofsimshine. In fact, the whole street is redone by Jen because these lots are SO cute!

Minimal CC, defaults eyes and skin + eyelashes because I cannot deal with the vanilla ones. I'm trying not to edit faces but hair/clothing etc is all fair game.

Let's begin 👉

What are your MCCC settings?

Here are my MCCC settings! These are all the settings I use in my save. This is how I get my game to simulate Sims 2. I'm just going to share the ones I adjust. If it's not listed here, I use the default setting. Click on a computer > MCCC

MCCC Setttings...

MCCC settings > Auto-Save > Use Autosave - enabled MCCC settings > Gameplay Settings > Pause on zone - enabled MCCC settings > Money Settings Inheritance Sims Type - All MCCC settings > Pay Child Support - Unmarried Only MCCC settings > Notification/Console/Menu Setting > Console Command Settings > Build Buy Settings > Free Build - Enable MCCC settings > Notification/Console/Menu Setting > Console Command Settings > Build Buy Settings >BuyDebug - Enable MCCC settings > Notification/Console/Menu Setting > Console Command Settings > Build Buy Settings >MoveObjects - Enable (note: I use these rather than better build and buy) MCCC settings > Notification/Console/Menu Setting > Console Command Settings > Enable Full Edit CAS - Enabled (note: there is a glitch that will happen in CAS if you try and trade out traits IF YOUR SIM DISCOVERS A NEW PERSONALITY TRAIT Supposedly has been fixed in the patch update: 1.102.190.1030, 10/31/23) MCCC settings > Notification/Console/Menu Setting > Console Command Settings > Headline effects - disabled (this will hide the plumbob so you don't have to try and hide them) MCCC settings > Notification/Console/Menu Setting > Console Command Settings > Testing cheats - enable MCCC settings > Notification/Console/Menu Setting > Notification Settings > [note: you're going to turn all these on, to make sure that you've set everything up correctly. you'll know that no story progression or changes in the neighborhood are happening because you SHOULDN'T ever see these notifications. We want ALL the sims in the world to remain static, in order for it to truly mimic the sims 2.] MCCC settings > Notification/Console/Menu Setting > Notification Settings > Aging/Death Notification - I set all of these to ALL to start until I know for sure after a few rotations that no one is progressing since I turned off the natural game progression. MCCC settings > Notification/Console/Menu Setting > Notification Settings > Population Notifications - I set all of these to ALL to start until I know for sure after a few rotations that no one is progressing since I turned off the natural game progression. MCCC settings > Notification/Console/Menu Setting > Notification Settings > Pregnancy Notifications - I set all of these to ALL to start until I know for sure after a few rotations that no one is progressing since I turned off the natural game progression.

MC CAS

Note: There are a lot of really cool settings in this section. A lot I don't personally use because I'll just edit sims when I see them, but there are a lot of different things you can manipulate in these settings that can help manage not having atrocious-looking townies.

Offspring > Use Parent Physical Attributes - enabled Offspring > Parent Values Variance Percent - 10% Offspring > Use Parent Skin Details - enabled

MC Career

Bypass Played Households - enabled Alter Neighborhood Stories - enabled

MC Cleaner

Detailed Logging - enabled Item Cleaner > Sync Glasses - enabled

MC Clubs

ByPass Played Household - disabled Monitor Club Member - enabled

MC Dresser

Makeup > Check Dark Form Makeup - enabled Outfit Settings > Clean Dark Form Outfits - enabled Outfit Settings > Only Used Saved Outfits - enabled Outfit Settings > Situation Use Standard - enabled Precent Use Custom Skin Tone > 100%

MC Occult

Aliens > Abduction Pregnancy > Pollinator Gender - Female & Male

MC Population

(Note: The Moving Settings are going to be the most important settings for getting your game set up rotationally; I also enabled MC Neighborhood stories to ensure that all of EA settings are overruled.)

Moving Setting > Allow Homeless Move-In - disabled Moving Setting > Homeless Apartment Percent - 0 Moving Setting > Open Houses - 0 (This will stop your sims from moving in to empty lots) Population Setting > Import Tray Settings - 100 note: this will make it so that if you do need homeless sims, the game will be pulled from your saved library rather than creating its own. Say goodbye to mismatched sims! Population Setting > Import Bypass Appearance - enabled Random Lot Challenges > Apply to Lot Type - All Lots Random Lot Challenges > Maximum Challenge Number > 1 Neighborhood Stories Settings - Enabled Other Settings > Bypass Sim Culling - Enabled (This is the big one that you NEED to have enabled, otherwise the game will DELETE your NPC households, and we don't want this. We always want our NPCS to stay as they are.) Other Settings > No Reaper Stalking - Enabled Other Setting > Maximum Sims in Zone - 50

MC Pregnancy

Adoption Settings > Adoption Ages - All options selected Adoption Settings > Opposite Sex Adoption - 20% Adoption Settings > Rename Non-Active Adoption - All Adoption Settings > Same Sex Adoption Percent - 100% Offspring > Inherit Trait Type - Inherit a Random Number Offspring > Maximum Household Children- 50 (note: I'm playing around with this setting the default is 3 ) Offspring > Maximum Offspring - 4 (It's giving sims 2 maximum chaos vibes) Offspring > Rename Non-Active Offspring - All Other Marriage > Same Neighborhood - Prefer Partners In Same Neighborhood Other Marriage > Use Traits for Marriage - enabled Other Pregnancy > Allow Pregnancy Aging - enabled Other Pregnancy > Pause Sims Pregnancy - Played Sims Other Pregnancy > Pause on Playable Labor - enabled (note: again I keep this on to ensure that nothing is happening without my knowledge. The goal is to not ever see this notification for one of your played households.) Other Pregnancy > Use Traits for Pregnancy - enabled Partner Sim Selection > Allow Affairs Percentage - 10% (note: this is how Kaylynn ended up pregnant in my game, even though she was a townie. adds some additional drama to the game.) Partner Sim Selection > Valid Partner Age - Young Adult, Adult Pet Pregnancy Settings > Allow Homeless Pregnancy - enabled Pet Pregnancy Settings > Maximum Household Children - 50 Pet Pregnancy Settings >Maximum Offspring - 6 Pet Pregnancy Settings > Allow Homeless Pregnancy - enabled Pet Pregnancy Settings > Show Pregnancy Notifications - All

MC Woohoo

Note: I'm not currently using this module. I'm trying out some mods by Polarbearsims and this one to simulate the same thing this module provided, but their mods added in more chances for encounters and reminded me more of ACR from the sims 2.

To my moots (@authorspirit, @blueyjoy, @folkbreeze) who have mentioned being curious about my settings in the past, thanks for your patience! I've been avoiding this, but I'm glad it's done! I hope y'all enjoy! Feel free to use my inbox or message me if you have specific questions or need help troubleshooting, I'll do my best to help :)

Also if someone doesn’t mind sending me a sims share file access I can happily upload my settings file if you just want to play with my settings and not have to set it up. I definitely suggest reading through still what settings I use so you can adjust it to your flavor 😉

Tino's had his eye on his downstairs neighbor for years.

Iris Black is a struggling singer/musician. As an artist who dabbles in the illegal to make ends meet, Tino can appreciate how talented Iris is... and beautiful.

After running into her on a morning run, he finally gets up the nerve to ask her out.

First dates are always nerve wrecking...

but worth it!

He's definitely getting a second date

В игре я очень люблю совмещать календарные и семейные праздники, когда это удается. Вот и Диего решил устроить репетицию свадебного ужина в Праздник Урожая!

Обычно этот день проходит у моих симов довольно скучно, но в этот раз вечеринка получилась интересной и насыщенной. Приглашены были все «Легенды караоке» (других друзей у Диего пока что не завелось), но Дарлинг сбежала домой в первые же минуты праздника. Как же это на нее похоже!

Стоит признать, что атмосфера в квартире Диего ни на секунду не переставала быть напряженной. Несколько сим-дней назад Диего и Мико пересмотрели формат своих отношений и по понятным причинам чувствовали себя неловко в обществе друг друга. Пенни и Акира тоже избегали лишний раз встречаться взглядами — давным-давно они состояли в романтических отношениях и никто из них не горел желанием ворошить память о былом.

На вечеринке Диего обнаружил свое призвание в танцах, торжественно вручил Пенни ключи от квартиры и улучшил свою репутацию, во всеуслышание назвав Акиру Кибо своим хорошим другом. Мико же нон-стоп шутила едкие шуточки про брак и семью и в целом выглядела нервной и уязвленной. Забавное — в качестве приглашенного бармена к Диего пришел не кто-нибудь, а та самая русалка!

Но главным событием вечера стал неожиданный звонок от незнакомого старичка с сообщением о баснословном наследстве. Конечно же, Диего сразу же согласился на все условия, даже не дослушав своего собеседника до конца. Необходимость жениться в ближайшие семь дней ни капли не огорчила Диего — свадьба с Пенни состоится не сегодня-завтра, а тут еще и приятный бонус в виде крупной суммы симолеонов сам собой образовался как нельзя кстати. Жизнь удалась!

Slowly adding more CC to my game, so I gave my sim Noelle a makeover and once again I am obsessed.
