Everyday Unusual

Ah, the same old thing, really.  I logged in, I simmed, I took pictures.

With my last town having exploded on me for no good reason, I made a new one.

I picked Winslow Lane.

It's deliciously tiny, but not so itty-bitty that there's no room for a gene pool to swim in.  There are only 17 residential lots, making for a maximum Sim population of about 60 if your game cares about making sure everyone has their own bed.

(I'd recommend waiting until it gets out of Beta, though.  There are a couple bits of routing weirdness on lots that are being sorted out.  Nothing that makes it unplayable, but a bit of remodeling is needed to make these lots work.)

I also made an entirely new population from scratch using the Opals set from the  Scatter Genes skins.  Because I think they're an awesome idea, and I'm a masochist.  The only exceptions to this are Mikayla and Amelia, and the girl I picked out to be Amelia's mate in the last town - Therese.

However, with a population cap at about 60 sims the gene pool is shallow.  That's why all the rest of these pics are so girly.  I decided to make it easier for sims to find a date by making the entire island's population one gender and setting up Story Progression so everybody's gay.

I mean look.  You see this?  That's the entire high school class, right there.

... Getting told to GTFO because some nosy neighbor called the cops on Amelia's little mom's-away party.

Now, new world (and negated Mummy Curse) or not, I'm still determined to off Mikayla.  I'm done with her.  I just wanted to do a few parent-teen things first.

Oh, DebugEnabler, you make my simming life better.

And aside from losing her only parent as a teenager, Amelia's life has been... alarmingly normal.  I dunno.  I'm not interested in posting all that "Normal" stuff.  "Here's my sim growing up".   "Here's my sim flirting with their mate."  "Awww, look at them getting married!"

I feel like I've done too much of that already.

So here's the weird stuff instead.

It is not fright which made Amelia pass out.  She has the Brave trait.  She passed out because the Grim Reaper is a terrible bore and managed to babble her into unconsciousness before helping himself to her nectar.

Therese aged up a couple days ahead of Amelia.  Game settings being what they were, they still had most Romantic options available, so I decided to see what a Teen making out with a YA looked like.

It does not work.  It is not worth complaining about the game normally not letting you do this.

(Kissability improved dramatically after a couple days.  Thaaaat's better!)

Don't think I ever took a proposal screenshot from this angle before.

She looks.. not at all thrilled.  More like she's saying "please don't do this" instead of "OMG YES!"

What followed next was one hell of a bachelorette party.

And a wedding in which everyone gathered bawled their eyes out like it was some kind of funeral.

(Actually, Mikayla's funeral went a lot better than this wedding did.)

And the two have now settled into a life of hijinks...

... I'm not sure if I'd be playing my piano right there, if I were you.

... Told you.

And after a moment of fuming and flailing..

The Pink Pianist walks over to Amelia and.. apologizes.  I dunno.

A few days later, while out on the town enjoying an idle afternoon together, Amelia and Therese came upon a protest...

... Down with Llamas?  I am pretty sure that's blasphemy in the Sims world.

They seemed pretty passionate about the issue, though!

Even the giant rock was protesting against the Llama Regime.

Whoa.  Okay guys, I think you're getting a little carried away, there!  No need to turn this into a full-scale riot.

Of course, in the face of such a highly-charged display of political activism, what else could Amelia and Therese do but join in?

This woman?  She has problems.

But I don't think Llamas are to blame, here.

No, for her issues, I blame Ford.

And that's it for today.
