The hot summer sun cast a warm glow over the privileged patrons of the Sunset Valley Country Club. The Darling sisters, growing like weeds every day, splashed in the pool, blissfully unaware of the silent disapproval of onlookers.
Tumblr media
Morgana Wolff gazed with adoration, as the heavily pregnant Agnes Darling basked in the warm rays of the sun. "Goodness Agnes, you're just glowing." She admired.
"Oh, quit it, you!" Agnes scoffed.
"No, I mean it!" Morgana added. "Your complexion looks flawless, and that hair of yours is so shiny and bouncy. Must be those vitamins you've been taking."
Tumblr media
Agnes's mind flashed back to a memory of some old wives' tale Bianca Crumplebottom had shared with her the last time the Crumplebottom Sisters paid a visit:
"Blossoming in the bottom of the belly, a daughter spends her time mimicking her mother's actions, and thieving her of her divine beauty. Yet, a son nestled within, enchants his mother with radiant grace."
"Well it's because I'm having a boy, if you believe in nonsense." Agnes replied with an irritable eyeroll.
Tumblr media
"That's absurd, darling. You were gorgeous through all your pregnancies." She grinned. Morgana had always been a loyal friend to Agnes, but it was when Agnes was with child, that a particular instinct within Morgana kicked in. She protected Agnes fiercely, especially during the day when Erik was away at work, faithfully concealing her own longing for the maternal bliss Agnes experienced.
Tumblr media
Agnes dismissed the old wives' tales as archaic and superstitious. The gender of her child held no importance to her; life had already given her everything she could ever want.
Tumblr media
As anticipation grew, Agnes delved into nesting, transforming her makeshift painting studio and home office into a charming little nursery adorned with sunny shades of yellow.
Tumblr media
There were various reactions elicited upon announcing the impending arrival of the third Darling child, though the predominant sentiments were ones of joy and support.
Tumblr media
...Mostly. With Agnes and Erik dedicating so much of their time to preparing for the new baby, the soon-to-be Darling middle child was left to her own devices, seeking life-long attention from the lurking shadows of her mind...

Senescence
Tumblr media
Senescence is a short visual story of the twilight years of Agnes Crumplebottom (the title is inspired by this machinima, about a Crumplebottom as well, check it out guys, it’s so lovely). I wrote this many years ago in my teens and illustrated it (with my limited drawing skills), and found the time to do the story in TS2 some time ago.
This post is dedicated to elder Sims, who I feel are often overlooked as they are often so in real life as well. With the COVID-19 epidemic going on at the time of this post, I fully realized how vulnerable elders are and I feel we must care for them especially in these times. 
When people commented about this epidemic being a ‘boomer-remover’, it stroke me as insensitive, because even though I know there are a lot of unpleasant older people out there, a lot of them are still pleasant and our loved ones (plus, not only older people are vulnerable). 
Agnes Crumplebottom was not known as a nice Sim, but her story in The Sims 3 enabled us to look at her in a different way. I was both tickled and touched by @yakumtsaki's words on Agnes here–poor woman is probably only able to rest in peace once she kicks the bucket, so, here is my attempt at a touching tribute before she did.
Also, I suggest listening to this playlist while reading this!
Everyone around Downtown knew the pitter-patter of those shoes. Couples would flee in horror, the scantily dressed would rush to the bushes, and pickpockets dared not go near her infamous purse. But that day was strange. She walked cheerfully past an unwary pair of lovebirds locked in amorous embrace on a bench and she greeted a young woman in a sequinned tube top ‘good morning!’.
Tumblr media
She went to her usual spot, a pair of green, wooden recliners near the pond at the Crumplebottom Memorial Park (named after a renowned relative who was unfortunately crushed to death by a chandelier many years ago). She brought out some bread crumbs and fed the ducks swimming at the pond, swarming at her by the side. She was always so kind to animals. But to people? Not so much.
Tumblr media
“There you go, little darlings!” She said to them, her voice high-pitched and rickety. A duck came near her feet to peck off the crumbs near her shoes. She didn’t realize it was there until it had pecked the toe of her shoe.
“Ooh!” She exclaimed, giggling a bit. “Aren’t you a curious one!“
She took out her lorgnette glasses and inspected the little critter. The people walking by were rather confused by this. She’d usually sit down and feed the ducks, but giggle and smile? They’re not even sure if it’s really THE Agnes Crumplebottom. Truth be told, they haven’t seen her for the past few months. At any rate, it was a quiet autumn day, and there weren’t many people around. 
Tumblr media
She sat down and allowed the curious little fowl approach her. "Now don’t you peck and be a good girl, alright? I’m just here to relax.” 
Tumblr media
She caressed the pearl necklace hanging around her neck. “My fiancé gave this to me, you know. He’s just the most darling thing! And his last name is Darling, too, funnily enough. I’m going to be Agnes Darling very soon. Isn’t that wonderful?”
Tumblr media
She adjusted her weaved picture hat and seemed rather confused. “Why am I, why am I wearing this…hat? Where’s my grey hat? Oh, darn. I must’ve left it at my sister’s. My word.”
“What was the name of her son again? Murray? Mortimer? Oh, he’d love ducks, I think. Those little boys are always up to something, but he seems like a bright young man. I’ve never really had a chance to spend much time with him. Truth be told, I don’t know him or his father that well. So silly of me. Oh! And I’m talking to a duck!”
Tumblr media
She laughed, then sat back and took a deep breath and looked around.
“My my. Where is Erik? He said he was going to meet me here.”
Tumblr media
Agnes rose from her seat and approached the rental shack at the corner of the park, not far from there. The rental shack clerk was raking the leaves nonchalantly whilst humming and heard the pitter-patter of shoes approaching. He lifted his head and greeted the woman, after only seeing half of her from under his hat.
Tumblr media
“Good afternoon, how can I he–ELP YO-uu…” He jumped, fixing his glasses that slipped off his nose in shock.
Tumblr media
“Merciful heavens! What on earth is the matter with you?” She yelled, lorgnette glasses in hand, inspecting him suspiciously.
“No–nothing, Miss Crumplebottom.”
Tumblr media
“I was wondering, have you seen my fiancé? He’s about so tall and has blonde hair?”
The rental shack clerk was quiet for a few moments. “Fiancé?”
Tumblr media
“I thought I was asking the questions, here!” Agnes yelled.
“Um…um…no, I haven’t…I thought he…your husband…passed on?”
Tumblr media
Agnes lift her left eyebrow. “Husband? Passed on?”
The rental shack clerk looked both confused and scared.
Tumblr media
Agnes blinked a few times, saying nothing and looking like she was thinking about something. She turned around and walked away, leaving the rental shack clerk relieved and he went back into his shack to go about his business. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
“Oh, what nonsense. Passed on. Passed on where...” She rubbed her pearl necklace and looked apprehensive. She clutched her pearls tightly and squinted her eyes, fiddling with her fingers.
Tumblr media
Agnes walked a few meters away into the park and stopped. She dropped her purse and began sobbing as she fell to the ground. It had all came back to her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The honeymoon. The accident. The years of pain and hurt and the bitterness that followed. She had woken up that day like a new woman, who only remembered of her days before all of that disappointment, the false hope of love. 
Tumblr media
How confused would the Downtowners be had they seen it. They’ve never seen her cry or express any emotion other than rage. The younger ones hardly knew who she was except for the stories they’ve heard about the purse of terror.
Some simply thought she was just a demented old bat. Now, even more. Those years of self-righteousness were born out of the disappointment, but now, she was no longer a threat. If anything, she realized that she had been her own biggest threat in the decades that she’s lived. 
Tumblr media
“Aunt Agnes!” Called out a woman’s voice, running towards her. A hand grasped her arm and helped her up as the elder lady trembled. Agnes could barely see, worsened by her tears. She squinted but didn’t know who it was.
Tumblr media
“Who is this–who are you? I don’t know you…” She asked, meekly, in between little sniffs.
“It’s me, Cassandra.”
She sobbed and shook her head. “I don’t know! I don’t know where, who–”
“Cassandra. Your sister’s granddaughter, remember? Grandma Cornelia?”
“Oh…” She answered, as if she remembered, but not really. Nevertheless, she calmed down. “Cornelia, Cornelia. Yes.” 
Tumblr media
Cassandra led her great-aunt into the wheelchair she had brought and sat her down gently, tucking her purse firmly into her lap. “Aunt Agnes, you shouldn’t have left the house. It’s lucky that your nurse called me, we’ve been trying to find you for hours. You know you can’t go out on your own.” 
Tumblr media
“I don’t know…I’m lost…I couldn’t find Erik…”
Cassandra tilted her head and put her hand over her shoulder.
“Why don’t we get you home, Aunt Agnes? Would you like that?”
Tumblr media
Agnes leaned her head to the side and nodded.

52 and 54 for thomesa
52. Describe their weekend getaway?
Steal a car probably Alby’s and drive off to the middle of nowhere with a picnic basket and some wine. (Thomas spends the following week dwelling upon the happy excursion.)
54. Who’s more likely to carry the other to bed?
Depends which of them falls asleep out of bed first. If Teresa falls asleep first, Thomas would carry her to bed, but if Thomas fell asleep, Teresa would likely fetch Gally and get him to carry Thomas (she may not be asleep, but she’s too sleepy for that).

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Seymour: [Croaky voice] My sisters love me now, but oh, Persy sure wasn't too thrilled to have me as her baby brother back in those days! [Soft chuckle] She wanted me dead.
Tycho: No, I'm sure she was just adjusting.
Tumblr media
Coraleye: Yeah! I bet it all changed for her when she saw your handsome little face.
Seymour: It took her some time to warm up to me. Even then the little shit preferred her animals and imaginary friends.
Coraleye: [Smiles] Uncle Bo...
Tumblr media
Kirsten: And she wasn't even the one they considered "troubled." Gwendolyn, now that's the one they had to watch out for...
Gwendolyn Darling
Tumblr media
Mr. and Mrs. Darling often wondered what kind of personality —if any— Gwendolyn would have developed if it weren't for the invention of the modern television. Her entire demeanor was made up of pieces of tidbits she collected from her time spent in front of the screen.
Tumblr media
Despite the children from school finding her rather strange, Gwendolyn navigated social settings with ease. She'd smile like a dazzling silver screen starlet, and crack jokes like a beloved gameshow host.
Persephone Darling
Tumblr media
Persephone was a very grumpy and irritable child. often opting to keep to herself due to her crippling social awkwardness. As Seymour explained, her only real friends were creatures with feathers or four legs, as well as those conjured by her imagination. But where she lacked in cheerfulness, she made up for in athleticism and harbored a profound passion for animals. Persephone maintained an active lifestyle and found enjoyment in a variety of sports, spanning from swimming and ball games to the art of ballet.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
As Seymour's due date drew closer, a knock on the door followed by the family dog barking madly signaled an unexpected visit from Agnes's nephew, Mortimer—a visit undoubtedly orchestrated by Cornelia. As if he were being forced to recite the offer against his will, Mortimer reluctantly extended his services to babysit the girls, as her days grew busier with a new baby. Agnes appreciated the offer and could've certainly used his help, but she knew well that Mortimer, being a teenage boy, would likely rather be off doing something else, rather than tasked with keeping an eye on his younger cousins.
Tumblr media
Agnes remembered back to her sister Cornelia's assertion that Mortimer's best friend, Bella Bachelor, was beginning to "smile at him in a different way now." Struck with a clever idea, Agnes proposed a deal to Mortimer: If he would be willing to babysit the girls and take good care of them during her labor and the early days with the new baby, he could bring Bella along to assist him. Considering his mother didn't allow him and Bella to be alone anymore, Mortimer lit up like a lightbulb, and eagerly accepted. He did request, however, that Agnes not mention Bella's involvement in this arrangement to his mother.
Tumblr media
And it sure was lucky the Darlings got a babysitter just in time, for not long after, in the early hours of the morning at 4:27 AM, on All Hallow's Eve, the Darlings welcomed a bouncing baby boy with little babydoll eyes. They held him close, celebrating the first happy birthday of many more to come.

I really love the last episode of the 6th season, "Robert Diaz".
There are just so many great things happening there, things that I love and would like to see more of (Liz devising and successfully putting into work a whole badass plan of how to get her friends out of the Post Office and the whole team – by which I mean both Cooper, Ressler, Aram and Liz and Red, Chuck and Morgan because they're on one team, even though they do not always see it – having a nice little family breakfast while discussing their plans for the day the details of their technically illegal but for-the-good-cause plan, to list off my absolute favorite things from this ep... not to mention the glorious return of Dembe, the Shoot-Out and Cynthia Panabaker, my love, helping Red and Cooper to meet with the First Lady)...
...but the last couple of scenes (namely, the one where Agnes comes home and doesn't recognize Red - because that's just unbelievable considering how big of a part he played in her life and that he spent with her at least as much time as Liz did - and the one with the blonde Kate, which was a huge mood damper for me just as much as for many other fans)?
Meh 🤢
Talk about contrasts...

The Sims 3 Save File Families Part 2/3
Let me introduce the present families in the save file I made for Sims 3. It's just a simple one. The eventual prolog to the actual canon of the game. You'll see familiar Sims and new Sims, of course. I just changed a few things around Sunset Valley, the rest remains the same. This is why I didn't take that long on it. (A hour per day maybe....)
Note: The description contains both family and character bio.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Bunch family (Arlo Bunch [Original & Younger version], Darlene Bunch [Original & Younger version], Ethan Bunch [Original & Younger version], and Lisa Bunch [Original & Younger version]. Jack and Judy Bunch remain the same.
Bunch family:
Here's the story: Two working parents juggle family, household chores, and their careers while their four children run wild. What is the right balance for this family of six to stay sane? (OG Bio)
Jack Bunch: On one of his kid’s birthday, he hosted a grilling evening at the home and found joy in serving his friends with his food, which they loved! Jack made it a tradition for his friends and work pals to come together every Sunday to grill together. This deed fastened a few long bonds, that Jack still has up to now.
Judy Buch: Four children Judy has brought to this world. Each kid unique from the other. Judy’s wish of a big family has been fulfilled. All she needs to focus on is her career and the education of her kids….
Ethan Bunch: As the first-born child. Ethan is the most responsible kid in the Bunch household. He’s an A student at the school and a talented athlete. Ethan hopes one day to become a soccer player someday, just as his father wished to be, when he was younger. Hopefully, Ethan won’t have the same bad luck as his father.
Lisa Bunch: Lisa’s a simple, basic schoolgirl. She used to know, that her brother will always be the best out of the two, but she doesn’t really care about it anyway.
Arlo Bunch: Little Arlo does show to have similarities to his older brother. Out of the four Bunches, he has shown to be a quiet toddler.
Darlene Bunch: The latest addition to the Bunch household, Darlene is the oldest brother’s favorite family member. He’s the only one, who has shown lately to have the patience to handle Darlene’s constant tantrums and sudden fights with little Arlo, which she seems to be jealous of.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Langerak family: (Kaylynn Langerak and Parker Langerak [Original & Younger version]) Iliana and Dustin Langerak remain the same.
Langerak family:
The Langerak's moved into Sunset Valley about a few years ago due to Iliana's career choice. The family have been saving money to build their own cozy home. While the task isn't done yet, they're currently residing in this house with a joyful toddler and a chaotic son....
Iliana Langerak: When Iliana received the offer to move to Sunset Valley to have a higher chance in climbing the ladder of her career, she had planned everything out and hoped, that her husband would support her.
Dustin Langerak: Leaving his hometown to follow the love of his life to a foreign, new town was a big challenge for Dustin. But he knew how important this was for Iliana, so he agreed with her and promised to be looking for everything around the house, while she was at work.
Parker Langerak: Despite the low attention he gains from his parents due to the arrival of his younger sister, he doesn’t seem to be affected by it. He knew very well, that upon her arrival, things would change. So he tasked himself to “man up” and move on with his life.
Kaylynn Langerak: Kaylynn is the gem of the Langerak household. She steals everyone’s attention and shows to be photogenic in almost every picture the parents take. She enjoys seeing her older brother play………...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Clavell family (Bessie, Buster and Xander Clavell [Original & Younger version])
Clavell family:
Buster is starting to have less and less patience to deal with his rebellious son, Xander. He has no idea, why his son causes so much trouble. One thing he's at least happy with is the fact, he and his wife never planned to have more than one child. If they would have been acting like Xander, things would be a catastrophy. That's for sure!
Bessie Clavell: Bessie knows very well, her son isn’t behaving like an angel. But she believes, that deep down inside him he’s capable of changing.
Buster Clavell: If Buster had a chance, he would like to travel back into the past to be able to talk with his father again. Losing his father figure at a young age and now not being able to solve certain family issues by himself without a second, professional opinion can be quite depressing at some point. Knowing from his teenage days, that kids around Xander’s age can go wild around that time, Buster hoped Xander would keep his wits.
Xander Clavell: Xander is a bit of a trouble-maker inside the Clavell line. Besides causing chaos at the school, he also leaves the house at midnight to screw around with friends. One of those nights he even managed to steal his dad’s car to accidentally crash it! Buster has had it with his attitude and threatened him to kick him out of the house. Teens in Puberty can be ticking clocks sometimes. If Xander’s going to grow out of it in the future, it will be a relief for the family….
McIrish family
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The McIrish family (River McIrish [Original & Younger version] and Shane McIrish [Created by Ecofinisher]) Fiona McIrish remains the same.
McIrish family bio:
The McIrishes have been living in Sunset Valley since its foundation. Fiona and Shane had met as work pals at the Doo Peas tower and with time they got married and had a daughter together. Their life was good. As the years went on, both grew apart from each other, dealing with the daily stress of work. While Fiona would sink her head into books, Shane would rather be drinking. Shane’s drinking habit has gotten out of control, that it led him to get fired from his job. It was up to Fiona to keep the family safe from trouble. The months passed by, their relationship began to change drastically and even though little River was a child, she knew, that what was happening in their household wasn’t good…..
Fiona McIrish:
Upon having River, Fiona thought her life was perfect. She knew at the point, that when she married Shane, that things wouldn’t always be easy. Fact upon him losing his job, Fiona worked hard to be able to sustain her family, while Shane sought for a new job. Through the months, Fiona got to learn a new side from Shane, she didn’t know before and pushed it under the rug believing it all was related with what happened. Soon it began to repeat itself more and more. Fiona warned her husband about his drinking habit, but that didn’t seem to be the problem. Fiona even was mistreated by her husband without the drinks! Was her husband always like that? How did Fiona not notice anything before?”
Shane McIrish:
Shane was used to get what he wanted. Even, if it meant to put on a facade. It’s no surprise, not many people including his wife aren’t aware of his true personality. He’s a great actor and he has always shown to be a good type of Sim around everyone. The many changes in his life have made it harder for him to keep up. Upon the moment he lost his job due to his own mistakes he kept looking for ways to put the blame on others, including his own wife. Shane grew violent as well towards his life partner and didn’t show any remorse about it, even with his own daughter’s presence.
River McIrish:
River didn’t get to spent much time outside of the house. All she did was going to school and returning back home. She feared to leave her mother alone at home knowing, that her father might do something to her. River surprisingly has been spared by her father. Still, she tries to stay away from him, when she notices, that his mood is down. To pass her time at home, she cleans up the house for her parents and paints on her canvas out at the backyard. Sometimes she wishes she could have at least one friend out of the household with who she could talk with about everything….
Agnes Crumplebottom (A Single living Sim):
Agnes was secretly jealous about the luck of her older sister, which had found herself her partner long time ago. A coincidence at one of the Goth’s party’s allowed her to meet her current fiancé Erik with whom she shared everything.
Erik Darling (A Single living Sim):
One of the Goth’s parties had him invited among other politicians to the inauguration of the Doo Peas towers. At the party, a shy, young woman called his attention and soon he found himself interested in her….
OK I meant to share something else with Erik or Agnes, but I encountered this through Google and wanted to share it 😍
