Lilith does, at least when she's not at the gym.

Dear Watcher, no! Sure, Caleb and Lilith both have problems. But I don't think those problems would require them to be institutionalized, or drugged 8 ways to Sunday. They would benefit from outpatient therapy and/or other treatments, maybe even medications, but they likely don't need any kind of inpatient stay.

final frontier // caleb & inna & lilith

They just seem like the kind of people who'd get all dressed up to go see Wrath of Khan.

i've been having some trouble exporting Caleb - i think it's a preset issue. i haven't had this issue with any other sim - there is something uniquely broken about his model (and mind). fixed his eyes, mouth, and nose, but in my attempt to get his eyebrows to work, I made him... stern. i figured, fuck it! and just threw some elf ears on him. he's dressed as a Vulcan now! hooray! problem solving!!

You'll notice that something is terribly wrong, they offer the world and they turn and they're gone.

[wolfsbanemanor]

No. Not any more so than most other Sims. And alright, Caleb kinda has a tendency towards spying on the neighbors, but it's not for woohoo-related reasons. It's to make sure that other Sims aren't being hurt.

An interesting take on Lily

[wolfsbanemanor]

You know, that is a good question. When they do the "whisper about desires" social with their partners, handcuffs sometimes appear in the speech balloon. And the in-game woohoo, while quite saucy, leaves plenty to the imagination. As for WickedWhims, I've never seen handcuffs spawn. But, to be fair, I haven't used all of the animations I've downloaded. One complaint I have is that a lot of the WickedWhims animations are too...well, male-centric mainstream-porn-y. Jackhammering, spanking, more "one Sim doing things to another Sim" than "two or more Sims sharing an experience together"...there's a time and a place for that, but most of my Sims are doing it with Sims they love and care about, and I like the..."extended woohoo" to reflect that. So I tend to gravitate towards animations that are more gentle, loving, couple-friendly. Besides, it might be troublesome for Caleb. No, Miss Hell didn't use handcuffs, but being trapped, unable to escape, etc. might cause problems for him. Unless he was the one doing the handcuffing, and even then. (On the other hand, he doesn't have any issue woohooing in a coffin, unless he's been "marathon woohooing," which activates a "dissociating" moodlet from his "woohoo trauma survivor" trait. The "dissociating" moodlet is very often followed by an embarrassed or tense moodlet saying that he didn't feel like he performed at his best. But again, it has less to do with woohooing in a coffin and more to do with woohooing "too much." It's also more likely to happen when woohooing in public than when he's woohooing on his home lot, though it can and does still happen there.)

Yes, because ghosts exist in the Sims. They're a normal, mundane part of life. They can even be brought back to life through various means, such as feeding them ambrosia cake, writing their name in the Book of Life, or getting a Spellcaster to resurrect them using the Necrocall and Dedeathify spells. And if you have the Life and Death EP, they have an entire skill tree, and can be played with like any other Occult Sim. When they were Worshippers of the Watcher, however, the goal was not to remain in the world as a ghost, but to escape it and spend eternity with the Watcher in Heaven. Where Needs bars never decayed (not even the Social Need), the woohoo was always good and never resulted in an unplanned pregnancy or a woohoosually-transmitted disease, objects never broke and Sims using objects always got the most out of them, nothing ever became dirty, family members were reunited with loved ones, and there was no sickness or pain or bills. And, above all, they were in the full presence of the Watcher, basking in Her/His/Their love and light, always and forever. It was the ultimate reward for pleasing the Watcher, and leading a good, respectable, Watcher-fearing life. And yes, the Watcher was as much to be feared as loved and awed, because all of this depended on being judged worthy by the Watcher. Unworthy Sims went to a world of torment. Some WotW sects believed the torture was temporary (but long-lasting), and that they'd ultimately be admitted into Heaven when the Watcher was done punishing them. Others, such as the one Caleb and Lilith were raised in, believed the torment was eternal. It was seen as something to rejoice in, because it meant that the scales of Justice were balanced, that every Sim got what was coming to them. And it wasn't seen as callously tormenting Sims, but seen as something like a loving parent disciplining a wayward child. Which made no sense to Caleb and Lilith. (After all, what kind of loving parent disciplines their child by burning them? And what kind of parent actually punishes their children for all eternity, when there's no going forward, no lessons to learn?) Some sects believed in a cycle of death and rebirth, where Sims who didn't quite get it right were given another chance to live, but even then, the ultimate goal was to be free of SimEarth for good. (Because, you know, a world where money grows on trees is such a terrible place.) In accordance with all this, Edward and Artesia are gone. They were given a funeral, and they cast off their plumbobs and went off to this Great Beyond, never to return, and whatever happened after that was up to the Watcher (though they fervently hoped the Watcher would accept them into Heaven and not damn them to Hell.) Living as a ghost, in their opinion, was shameful. After all, it meant you were still tied to SimEarth, instead of basking in the Watcher's eternal love and light and glory. Caleb and Lilith hold onto their parents' plumbobs (which they refer to as "mysterious objects") as a memento. They both feel sad that they'll never see their parents again, because they're vampires and therefore (more-or-less) immortal, and because (they were taught) that Occult Sims (like vampires) can't go to Heaven.

Character Question of the Day #75

You can answer the question for your character(s) or write a piece that incorporates the question.

Does your character believe in ghosts? Why or why not?

[wolfsbanemanor]

[ 🖐️ ]ㅤ.ㅤwhat do their hands feel like: soft, calloused, trembling ?

Prompts here.

Both of them have fairly soft hands. Their hands feel cold to non-vampires, but to other vampires, they feel like normal, warm human hands.

[wolfsbanemanor]

♛ - Family Prompts: What is their relationship with their grandparents like?

Prompts here Pretty much, nonexistent. Their paternal grandfather died while their dad was still a teenager, in an unfortunate pool ladder incident. Their maternal grandfather died from his own sweet tooth while their mom was still in grade school. No, not diabetes, he took the cake from a cowplant. Their maternal grandmother became very sick and died shortly after their mom and aunt aged up into young adults. And though they did get to meet their paternal grandmother, they barely remember her, as she died when they were toddlers, in her sleep.

[wolfsbanemanor]

For real. If Edward really did get to see the real world, he'd think he went to Hell.

On the World of the Watchers

Caleb: No money trees? No potions that satisfy all your needs? No chance to save your loved ones with a Death Flower? No backyard rocketships? This...this is the world that Dad wanted to go to so badly?!

[wolfsbanemanor]

Yes, they do. They were raised in a strict Worshippers-of-the-Watcher household. They were constantly warned about invoking the wrath of a vengeful, angry Watcher, and warned that the consequences (both in their lives and after death) of doing so would be dire. They listened to their pastor literally scream himself blue in the face about Hell, and how bad Sims would go there and be punished for all eternity. (Even though they were also taught that the Watcher loved them, and that these punishments were akin to a loving parent disciplining a wayward child.) They were taught that because the first Sims disobeyed the Watcher, all the descendants of those first Sims were born into a state of inherent sinfulness, and the Watcher was mad at them for literally just existing and being Sims. They were taught that even just thinking about woohoo could get them sent to Hell.

I decided to re-vamp (pun intended) a bunch of sims in my save and I had to start with these two icons. In my head, Caleb is the kind of guy to order an artisanal coffee at a fancy café and sit smelling it for several hours, only to leave without taking a sip, while Lilith probably blasts music and sings along at the top of her lungs despite being unable to hit a single note. They're the most siblings ever.

Yes, our favorite vampires do, in fact, want FRIES with that. 🩸🧛🏻🧛🏻‍♀️
