Video Breakdown: THE FINAL GOOGLE FEUD
For @childofphivorce​ who won this breakdown from the @phandomgives​ fanworks raffle as part of Dan’s birthday fundraiser! Thanks for donating and for choosing one of my favorite DAPG videos! 😄
Tumblr media
Date video was published: 08/22/2018 (X)
Welcome to perhaps the most chaotic of all DAPG videos. 😜 It was filmed in early August during Interactive Introverts, in a hotel room in Vancouver before they started the Australia leg of the tour. It was also filmed the same day as DIL CLONES A SIM which was the video posted before this one. (Also chaotic, and the source of my most meaningless DNP theory).
They left Vancouver on August 16 (1, 2), so this video was posted once they were already in Australia, the same day as one of their shows in Brisbane. (Can we talk about what else they posted from Australia? That month was extremely…something 1, 2).
This was the fourth (and ‘final,’ obviously 😅) of their videos playing Google Feud. ‘Excitement mixed with terror’ indeed.
0:00 - it is immediately wild. the synchronized leaning. Phil’s huge staring eyes. could they be sitting any closer. the single bed in background…
0:10 - Phil giggle! they really put a lot of editing effects into this one
0:16 - Phil’s hair is so messy!
0:20 - Dan with the “live your truth”
0:23 - “you get up to a lot when you’re not tweeting” Phil, WHAT?! 😳
Tumblr media
0:35 - 30+ seconds into the video and they haven’t started the game but Dan’s discussing politics…seems about right
0:44 - does that…happen a lot Phil? 😅
1:02 - they are so into this conversation with each other. also significantly more eye contact than most videos
1:09 - ah there we go, lmao. I love Phil’s wide natural smile
1:23 - Phil is really not blinking…the slow head turn as he looks back at Dan. also Phil’s always sitting up straight and Dan hunching a little so Dan’s always looking slightly up at him
1:32 - nice transition to promo there. love Dan making Phil name them and trying to catch him out for not knowing
1:46 - behind the scenes searching and conversations…a lot of that in this one
Tumblr media
1:59 - Phil thinking of something camera-appropriate to say but just went in a weird!Phil direction because he can’t help it
2:22 - Phil having a speaking struggle
2:29 - but they will not tell us the final score or who wins…guessing this might have been forgotten after the upcoming pizza break 😂
2:33 - Dan…what are you doing with your hand off camera there
2:38 - cutie! Phil is wearing one of his new merch shirts, we had just recently been released (1, 2). nice promo there boys; I’m sure everyone was able to understand that
2:47 - HOW are they always on the exact same page
2:52 - what a start to the actual game…Phil immediately and excitedly with “nipple” and Dan with “Prince Albert”...sure
2:59 - Phil is SO MAD 🤣 and Dan is immediately mocking
Tumblr media
3:10 - “my mind goes to the dirty place” …well no shit, lol
3:15 - “ladydoor” Dan, NO
3:18 - Phil with the references. they are sitting so close they’re literally touching this entire video
3:38 - Dan does not believe this for one second and Phil is so confident about it.
3:44 - the implied ‘this guy’
Tumblr media
3:52 - again, Dan with the touching/pushing partially off camera. surprised this video didn’t have WAY more jump cuts
4:01 - again, Phil with the extreme confidence that he’s correct. what a conversation
4:13 - love Phil somehow figuring out exactly what Dan’s talking about
4:22 - “you don’t even know what culture means” 😂 roast him Phil
4:24 - Phil is immediately excited at the words “game show”
4:26 - “my secret ideas folder”...Dan pointing at himself; Phil’s lip bite…I don’t think I want to know what else is in that folder actually 😳
Tumblr media
4:38 - ah yes, the start of Dan guessing “dog” for many questions straight
4:39 - does Phil say “owls”?! what? I’ve never heard that before when watching this!
4:50 - surprised Phil is the one to answer with his phone anxiety
4:54 - I love the teasing and Phil’s lack of ability to keep a straight face
5:01 - jump cut and Phil’s still grinning about that “burn” 😅
5:03 - “I don’t have legs” I LOVE him
5:05 - this is some INTENSE rock-paper-scissors. god I love that they left this whole bit in
5:20 - mukbang mention! was this the initial idea or had Phil already been thinking about it for a while at this point?
5:23 - I am 100% on the side of that noise here is an ass-slap. I know people say it’s the chair, but I simply choose to believe otherwise 😊
5:25 - every video should have a pizza intermission, apparently
5:39 - they did not discuss it. love that they can’t remember and don’t care
5:43 - the prompts they got in this one really just add to the whole vibe 😂 I love Phil always looking at Dan right away to see his reaction
5:48 - love Dan basically asking if they’re just giving up at this point
5:58 - “men can be milked” …Dan is losing his will to live
Tumblr media
6:12 - Phil being right about “man”...he should really trust the first thing that comes to his mind! 
6:21 - this video is really an insight into Phil’s brain
6:28 - minds on two different things there…
6:42 - Phil would have been so mad if Dan had gotten it right by stealing his thought. that song is from 2005.
6:53 - bread-face-Dan smile
7:01 - Phil looks so sad! 🥺 love Dan turning it around into audience compliments
7:12 - “you keep saying dog” …no kidding!
7:13 - their reaction to this one kills me 🤣 it truly makes no sense. the “carrot” bit runs through my head at least a couple times a week
Tumblr media
7:31 - Dan is so right about the hand thing!
7:45 - this one should have been in ‘why I was a weird kid’ at some point!
7:52 - “cop out when you get to the neck...same” what does that mean Dan
8:08 - the dog guessing finally paid off! Dan is so pleased with himself and Phil cannot believe it
8:18 - oh, maybe Phil still is keeping track of the scores! they just hadn’t gotten one right in ages
8:50 - now Phil is questioning everything he thinks of
9:00 - Phil with his angry hands-behind-his-head
9:12 - really want to know what conversation got cut out where Phil suggested “tampon”!
9:17 - shingles should not get an eyebrow waggle…why
9:23 - old Dan video reference there!
9:35 - now Dan’s turn to tell a likely untrue story about a potentially non-existent aunt, lol. “a barbeque of jesters” what is happening in Phil’s brain
9:43 - WHAT was that jump cut that comes back in with Dan laughing and shaking his head and another ‘this guy’ gesture
Tumblr media
9:51 - Dan ‘valley girl’/Becky/Jessica voice! he has fully given up at this point
10:02 - and then I love the contrast with Phil giving one actual serious answer in the whole video and getting it right 😂 and Dan’s cackle!
10:20 - they really have stopped discussing the answers much at this point
10:26 - Phil’s long-standing hatred of cheese! why he thought that would be a common search though, I don’t know…more hands on head!
10:36 - that’s what makes the video amazing actually
10:47 - Dan is so insistent on knowing who it is! like that bit in one of the Stereo shows where he HAD to know who Phil was talking about
10:56 - the dabbing was such a thing! surprised they didn’t accidentally smack each other doing that
11:06 - “why do they call it spoons” oh Phil 🤣 I don’t remember where, but I saw someone say that this isn’t as ridiculous as Dan’s making it seem! Phil was probably referring to the UK chain Wetherspoons, which is usually just referred to as “Spoons”
Tumblr media
11:14 - Phil leaning fully into Dan’s space. and then having to get him back for the teasing!
11:26 - love Dan being so upset about Phil skipping past this even though they’ve hardly been discussing the answer at all anyway
11:29 - Phil trying to keep Dan from getting loud seems like a losing battle…though he seems a bit more distracted than upset
Tumblr media
12:09 - there was 100% about to be a nose boop here, why did they cut it? 🥺
12:15 - the parallels of their guesses with “tall”-”tol” and “endangered”-“rare”!
12:31 - more valley girl! love the implication from Phil that this is something Dan has been doing all day/”today”
12:39 - another bit that runs through my head far too often
12:46 - Phil upping the stakes! the dramatic sound effect is great
13:10 - and now he is immediately regretting throwing that gauntlet down
13:18 - Dan is enjoying Phil’s struggle. and making throw-away guesses so Phil can’t try again 😅 (or just trying to end the video as quickly as possible at this point)
13:26 - Phil doing a bit of the voice too here…mimicking Dan!
13:40 - oh Phil…love when he’s so amused by his own thoughts
13:52 - I really can’t believe the game did that when it didn’t even accept “nipple” rather than “nipples” earlier
13:59 - I guess we know who wins after that, even without them saying
14:13 - Phil had to pick up Lion to use as a stress ball!
14:27 - “blood”...what is Phil’s brain. Dan cackle! I love it
Tumblr media
14:45 - Dan just trying to be done and do the endscreen as Phil is speechless in the background 😂
14:52 - of COURSE he pulls out all-or-nothing! how could he not
15:07 - but for once Dan telling him no!
15:21 - “I’ll lick…” lick WHAT Phil?! and then he looks around the room for something!
15:24 - love the sad music
15:32 - Dan finding a way to defend Phil/blame someone else
15:39 - Phil is not listening just…looking 👀
Tumblr media
15:45 - love the endscreen bubbles - “danisnotacarrot” and “noallornothingphil” heehee
15:52 - Dan has far too much energy for the end of this video
WHAT were they thinking when they edited and posted this?! I mean...it is a lot. They must have looked at the footage and then decided to just really lean into it with the edit as well. And I love it. During the Cambridge WAD preshow, Dan was asked if they were high during filming. 😂 A very common theory, but at least during the 2018ish era Dan always seemed pretty ‘meh’ about weed, so I tend to believe that they were just really really tired and horny. 🤐 Or I could see maybe a bit drunk.
We were living on DAPG content (and tour insta stories and Rize 😅 live shows I suppose)—the last main channel video was What Dan and Phil Text Each Other from mid-July, and there wouldn’t be another until the mukbang video in October after the tour ended. The next DAPG video was Dumber Ways To Die, filmed in Sydney, Australia after the (in)famous ‘or perhaps in Sydney’ live show. This was truly prime glass closet era and I think the DAPG videos they filmed during II are some of their best.

ALL MINE ♡ STATES CHALLENGE RESULTS!
Tumblr media
🎀 february 6th
i started my challenge the day i posted it so 2/4 and hopefully ending 2/18. my main goal was not being at war in my own mind and instead asking myself when i was in a state I didn’t resonate with;
“who am I?”
“is this the energy I want to embody?”
“would the me who has xyz act this way?”
and this was only the first day—it was like a switch went off and I’ve been feeling so fluid ever since. like personally, the resistance at first can be a bitchhh depending on how you look at it. but my mind has finally accepted that imagination is the only reality like there is nothing i need to worry about or do or change but my state of awareness. and I start to find myself smiling and shit in class because in my 4D I’m doing shit for my business and idk that shit just feels so transformative. *updating every few days!
🎀 februrary 8th
I have a quiz today so a good day to updatee, im manifesting good grades as well without really trying and being the person who bullshits but still passes with all A’s. my goal for this challenge is not to check the 3D consciously—as long as my dominant state is a state of having/being then I have nothing to worry about! doing an edward art meditation before class laterr—ttyl!!! update—improved my grades and got a B on my calc quiz! + im understanding calc + harder econ which is insanee to me
🎀 february 15th
so I got hit up by my graphics design client/manager that made me HELLA money in 2020 for a commission + an upcoming event… y’all long story short I have multiple jobs lined up. I also been spending time alone and spoiling myself and I got this cute ass belly ring likee period. im meditating again tonight (Edward Art) but I feel so confident. I am also adding 5 more days because I checked the 3D/wavered about something business-related so my new end date is 2/23!
🍨 results!!
so im finally done with my challenge which felt like it flew by. everything I manifested—
• freelance opportunities + getting commissions for my graphic design business. my second business is also starting to grow, i even have models lined up (,:
• I literally always have money + my parents got better jobs opportunities—n when I say this shit manifested I mean I’m doing A LOT better financially
• my skin is so clear and my hairs easy to do??? I used to struggle a bit but now I can do it within 30mins-1hr + my hair’s now likee 4a/3c and touches my mid back its growing pretty quick
• playing the sims 4 again + hella expansion packs games would literally break my computers b4
• my dimples are prominent asfff! I have a lil more freckles too ((:
• buying whatever I want/getting it bought for me like new piercings + haircare + stiiizy pods + having my nails done when I want
• wasn’t even focused on my body at first but I asked myself how I would feel/react if I had my desired body and y’all.. over the last 2ish weeks I noticed I have the most toned stomach I’ve ever had and my butt grew an inch?? likee I haven’t worked out n my body only looks better
• my relationship is so perfect! my bf plans dates and stuff and suggests cute shit all the time for ex. he wants to take me to see the snow for the first time and were going on a trip next month for our anniversary <3
• i literally doodle in class, bullshit my hw, n still get good grades
these were the things I was really focused on during February but overall I’m super super happy with my results!! ౨ৎ

wow hey hello i’ve been playing the extended demo and trying out different routes and i am flabbergasted!! i’ve been hyperfixated on this type of horror/dating sim VNs for some time now and i’ve never played anything like your game before!
to be frank i have no idea what the fuck is going on but i love it, i’m in such a suspense to learn more about the lore and am shaking in my socksies for the full game!! wanted to ask if you’re okay with NoahxMCOC fanart? i’d love to draw something tehee~ sending u much love and soooo much appreciation for the game! the writing and character building is just immaculate
Hello there! I appreciate knowing you enjoyed what the [Extended Demo] has to offer so far and the time you took out to play through everything! Your encouraging kind words mean a lot! :,]
Tumblr media
I do want to expand on the lore that goes into the game but I'm still brainstorming/going over routes and other things that didn't make it into the [Extended Demo]. I'm trying REALLY hard to not accidently show spoilers and I did a lot of that during the game development unfortunately. :,,,]
Since the [Extended Demo] has been out for a while I don't mind sharing a couple of little things though since I'm more comfortable with it!
Lore time! :]
Tumblr media
One of Noah's signs of affection is carrying you bridal style! :]
This is hinted and shown a couple of times within the game/art but it's part of his love language towards the player(Y/N). It depends on the situation but there's a few reasons for this. To explain JUST one of them, it's because he finds comfort being close to you. This expression of affection will be something that'll be approached again in the full game since he does this a few times! :,]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here's a sketch doodle I never got the chance to finish. :,]
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I don't mind MCOC (( Main Character Original Character(?) My play tester said that's what this means but do let me know if this isn't. :[] ))
I enjoy seeing fan art a whole bunch and I try to save the ones I come across when I do! All I ask is that it's nothing Explicit/NSFW since that's not what I'm going for in my works! Again, thank you so much for your support! :]

15 Questions for 15 Mutuals
Thank you to @cantseemtohide for the tag! 🤗 
1. Are you named after anyone? 
I was adopted at 18 months and never met my biological mother after that so I have no way of knowing; my adoptive parents didn’t change my first or middle names. 
2. When was the last time you cried? 
I always cry during period week. And every time I watch Encanto. 
3. Do you have kids? 
Not yet! My husband and I do want at least one kid, though. Maybe two! Not yet, though. 
4. Do you use sarcasm a lot? 
Only for friends that like sarcasm. If I don’t know someone well enough to know their sense of humor yet or I know they don’t like sarcasm then I don’t use it around them. I enjoy it but it’s situational for me. 
5. What sports do you play / have you played? 
I was in marching band in high school, and when I was little I took ballet classes, though I didn’t stay in those long enough to graduate to pointe shoes. idk if those count as sports but that’s the only physical activities I did growing up. Nowadays I just do weights and jogging. 
6. What’s the first thing you notice about other people? 
Personality, vibe checks, & whether or not I wanna actually talk to them or just be polite and yeet out of there. 
7. Eye color? 
Greyish-blue! Sometimes tealish. It depends on the lighting and what I’m wearing. But usually a light turquoise blue-grey color. 
8. Scary Movies or Happy Endings? 
While I love classic horror and occult halloweeny things, I love fairy tales more, so happy endings wins! Also I dislike all the modern horror stuff that’s a bunch of gore and jump scares and violence. I prefer horror that’s 80s or older. But I love all fairy tale movies no matter when they’re made! 
9. Any special talents? 
My long-term memory is abnormally good. I can vividly remember back to kindergarten. However, my short term memory is crap. I’m always losing my phone. 😅 
10. Where were you born? 
F L O R I D A 
youtube
11. What are your hobbies? 
Playing Sims and being on Simblr (obviously) but I also like a couple MMORPGs that I play with my guild. I’m also in the choir at my Unitarian Universalist church, and I still play Flute and Bodhrán privately. I’ve been meaning to join a local drum circle but haven’t dedicated the time to that yet. 
12. Do you have any pets? 
Yes! I have 2 cats, Abigail and Tigger, and they’re mother and son! Though if we’re counting my mom’s & mi suegra’s pets as well then we have a total of 6 pets in the family. My mom has 3 cats, Little One, Midnight, and Dev (all are rescued strays ♡) and my husband’s family has a yorkie named Toby. 💕  and that puppy is mad spoiled they have baby strollers for him and take him everywhere! 😂 
13. How tall are you? 
In freedom metrics I’m 5′4″ 
14. Favorite subject in school? 
I always liked music / band the most! When you’re in marching band it consumes your entire life. The rehearsals are so long. But that’s where all my friends were so it was amazing. 💖 
15. Dream job? 
I flunked out of college twice, I’ve kind of given up on any type of careers. My husband is able to support us and I just get part time things when I’m able. Once we have kids I plan on being a stay-at-home mom, and if USA doesn’t fix the violence in schools problem we’ve been having by the time our future kiddos are ready for school I’ll probably homeschool at least the early elementary years. Though once the math gets too advanced for me to be able to teach I’ll need to look for other options ‘cuz I can’t homeschool the whole K~12. Hopefully we can get some kind of education reform by that time. 
And now to tag peeps! I’m a bit late to answer this b/c of my Mexico trip and a lot of people have done this already. Also, 15 people is A LOT for a tag game so I’m just gonna pick the most recent mutuals in my Activity log! Sorry if you already did this. If anyone else didn’t get a ping for this tag and wants to do it you can totes tag me as the person that tagged you, though! ♡ 
@helenofsimblr @sparkiekong @sassie-sims @druidberries @daydreamertrait @timberllania @sir-silly @nolongerafruit @nightlifeseries @silverspringsimmer @coliemoongaming @sims-for-semi @saps-sims @faetheegrey @talesofsimverse

tonight, pocketpenny put a frustration i've been feeling with deltarune for a long time into some really good words.
Tumblr media
reading this kind of threw for a loop because of how much it made make sense, like that was why i couldn't get as excited as most folks about noelle's livejournal during the spamton sweepstakes! it's because i wish that berdly also had something like that, and it's not just because i wish he was a more important character.
it's because noelle’s interests are more or less always taken seriously by the narrative, and berdly’s are mostly just played for jokes, even when they’re the same. like dragon blazers, and, uh, susie.
noelle liking rpgs is used to flesh out her character, to give her that line about wishing there was healing magic in real life that alludes to rudy. it's used to make the events of the weird route even more harrowing, taking something from a hobby that gives her comfort and using it to hurt her. her love of creepypastas and horror stuff explores her complicated relationship to fear and memories of her lost sister.
meanwhile, berdly's love of gaming is just there to be joked about. it's so that he can freak out when queen says she only plays mobile games, and so that he can say he looked for queen and noelle in every used game store, so that he can make a gamer's delight, so that he can reference wavedashing and not being able to taunt in online PvP. and i for one do find those jokes hilarious, but i also really wish that berdly's love of video games got a little more... respect? is that the right word? from the narrative.
one of my favorite characters from undertale is dr. alphys. a big part of why i love her so much is that she has this incredibly dorky love of anime and manga, and while it is played for comedy a lot of the time, it's also used to help humanize her. she has that whole ramble during the quiz show about how this one part of a dating sim visual novel is a really powerful message about friendship! we get to learn what loving the animes means for her. and her nerdiness isn't her only defining feature as a character, but rather something that's used to bolster who she is as a person.
i loved seeing noelle write about modding cat petters and the creepy secret door in the ice palace, because it reminded me so much about something that i loved with alphys in undertale. but i also couldn't help but wish that berdly had something like it, too. i could easily imagine him putting his big vocabulary he's eager to show off to use writing fanfic that alludes to his feelings and struggles in life, and how he relates to his friends. or maybe talking about what games mean to him on other forums online. there are so many reasons for berdly to love what he loves, and i seriously wish that his love of video games will be more than just a punch line in later chapters.
and as for their shared crush on susie... well, it being mostly played for jokes in berdly's case is understandable, because it's the one she neither knows about nor reciprocates. but i also, i don't think that "this kid is so socially oblivious that he didn't realize his notoriously-bad-at-speaking-up-for-herself friend has the same crush as him! isn't he an idiot?" is a joke with a whole lot of staying power.

sims questions tag.
I was tagged in a few things but I’ve sort of forgotten to do them. This one was from @phoebe-twiddle​​ thank you for the tag ♥
1. What’s your favourite sims death?
I would rather all my sims die of old age, tbh. But I really do like the cowplant death (feed your enemy to the plant and use it to lengthen your own life?? amazing). Also I’ve never experienced the murphy bed death, that’d be fun to see!
2. Alpha CC or Maxis Match?
I’m somewhere between mm and realistic. I love good grunge cc and I have a soft spot for photoskinned jeans, but I also love crunchy bright mm hair colors and I try to use maxis items as often as I can.
3. Do you cheat when your sims gain weight?
No way. The sim either loses the weight themselves or embraces it. However my playing style is very systematic, which means that sims do certain things in certain order during the day, and they rarely do gain weight. Also, talking about this feels a little icky.
4. Do you use move objects?
You can’t even place modular stairs next to a wall without moveobjects, so yeah.
5. Favorite mod?
hmmmmm I don’t think I could live without the first born syndrome fix that’s included in Lazy Duchess’ RPC launcher. I could go fully without mods but you’d have to tear fbs fix from my cold dead hands.
6. First expansion/game/stuff pack you got?
The first expansion pack I got was the House Party exp for TS1. However my base game was the deluxe edition which also had Livin’ Large. And I followed the same pattern with TS2 - Nightlife was the first one I just had to get.
7. Do you pronounce “live mode” like aLIVE or LIVing?
Alive. You’d call it “Living mode” if you were to pronounce it like that, wouldn’t you?
8. Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?
*waves hands towards her*
Tumblr media
*crowd boos*
9. Have you made a simself?
Yeah, for a tumblr header pic.
10. What sim traits do you give yourself?
sloppy / shy / lazy / neither serious nor playful / nice
11. Which is your favorite EA hair color?
I like the og black, red and brown. In general I don’t like too yellowish blonde hair, but then again....... I just posted a pic of Greta with yellow hair. So. Yeah.
12. Favorite EA hair?
Does the gorgeous store hair count? The one that I used for Babette Black? I have no idea what it’s called :’)
Tumblr media
I also really like aline, shorttuckin, and caesar (especially the mtf version).
13. Favorite life stage?
Adult, no question about it.
14. Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay?
I spend a lot of time building, but I still prefer live mode gameplay. Currently building is burning me out so I try to focus on gameplay.
15. Are you a CC creator?
Not a creator but I’ve done some tiny things for myself :)
16. Do you have any simblr friends/a sim squad?
lol
17. What’s your favorite game? (1, 2, 3, or 4)
2 ♥
18. Do you have any sims merch?
Not official sims merch but I do have a clothing patch with a plumbob and the text “Motherlode” and “I wish it worked in real life”. Also a few pins.
19. Do you have a YouTube for sims?
No.
20. How has your “sim style” changed throughout your years of playing?
To be honest...... I don’t think my style has changed all that much. If anything I’m slowly reverting back to my old habits. Here’s a post about this I made.... three years ago.
21. What’s your Origin ID?
I’m not sure but it’s Sometownie something something.
22. Who’s your favorite CC creator?
Okay this is a shoutout to @jacky93sims​​ and @pforestsims​​! I absolutely love the stuff you guys do! ♥
23. How long have you had a simblr?
Since 2010........ I haven’t always been too active, though.
24. How do you edit your pictures?
I got Reshade not long ago so now I only crop the pictures before posting. Makes things so much easier and faster. More time for playing.
25. What expansion/game/stuff pack do you want next?
ᕕ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )ᕗ
26. What expansion/game/stuff pack is your favorite so far?
I still do think it’s Nightlife. It’s an integral part of The Sims 2 for me. Of stuff packs I adore Mansion & Garden, a lot of my favorite items/bodyshop stuff are from M&G.

Tag Game for Historical Simblrs!
Thank you @antiquatedplumbobs for the tag!
1. What has been your favorite time period to play in or which one are you most excited for?
So far the 1900s and the 1930s have been my favourites. For the 1900s I just loved Evie so much, and the whole period just felt really peaceful. Then for the 30s, Harry and Maisie were just too cute and it was so nice to have a story the was a little more wholesome after the chaos I put the poor Finch’s through in the 20s. I’m very excited for the 40s! Spoiler alert, I’m already there in gameplay, and I’m so happy. I mainly studied ww2 history at university so it’s fun to be in a period I’m very familiar with. Also just aesthetically I’m excited for the 80s and 90s because that’s my jam. 
2. Do you have a favorite piece of historical cc? (CAS or BB)
I think the last time I did these questions I said the Edwardian dress from @gilded-ghosts’s Stately Set and honestly I think that’s still true. I just love it a lot. However I also want to shout out the Langtree Updo by @twentiethcenturysims because it is just perfect for those Gibson Girl looks. 
3. Who is your favorite sim currently?
It’s my boy John Finch. I’m really worried for him since obviously soon he’ll have to go to war, but I just love that dorky little mechanic. I do also really love Ruth though, who we will be seeing more of for sure. She’s just too cute to deal with. 
4. What is your favorite world?
San Myshuno forever. Definitely going to need to find a reason for the Finch’s to move there one day- maybe in the 70s? Feels like it could fit that vibe really well. 
5. Are you more gameplay or story focused?
Bit of both! I have a general idea of what sort of things I want to deal with in each decade as it comes, so I’ll sort of steer the gameplay into those directions, but then often the gameplay will in turn steer the story. This is sort of why I prefer to do smaller story posts- it just matches more with the way I play. 
6. Do you like to play with pets in your historical saves?
Yes! The Finch family has had several dogs by now, I’m certain they’ll get a cat at some point. Pets to me always just make the house feel cozier 
7. What’s your biggest immersion breaking pet peeve with the game?
Well I was going to say when sims from other worlds appear in places it wouldn’t make sense for them to be in, but luckily just today @aheathen-conceivably brought this mod to my attention which I installed almost immediately. 
8. What’s your favorite in-game historical item? (CAS or BB)
Again I think I’m repeating myself from last time, but the radiator from the Vampires GP. It’s a little thing but I love it and just makes historical builds look better. 
9. What would you like to see as a new pack or asset to the game?
Bands please!!! The music career annoys me to no end- it’s so limited in it’s scope! Actually honestly just more careers in general I would really like. 
10. What pack do you think is invaluable as a historical simmer?
I’m jumping on the bandwagon and saying Cottage Living because I mean, just look at it. But also Get Together for Windenburg and Vampires for some very good items. 
11. Do you have a favorite mod to enhance historical gameplay?
I do now, and it’s that Home Regions mod! I also have one called “no more phone stuff” that I’ve had installed forever not sure where from, and it’s very handy. It doesn’t stop sims pulling out their phones all together, but at least no one is playing Blicblock in the middle of the Great Depression. 
12. What’s your ideal family size for playing?
Any where from 2-4. More than that and I start to get overwhelmed.
13. Do you use poses?
Yuuuuuuup, tons of them. Kind of want to learn how to make my own but haven’t had the time. 
14. Do you use any overrides in your game?
No I had one glitch really badly once and now I’m kind of scared of them lol.
15. Do you, or did you, play off-the-grid during your game?
I tried briefly at the start of the 1890s and it was just really frustrating. They really should be able to do more things even if they don’t have power. 
16. What lifespan do you play on?
Normal!  Finally settled on a setting. 
17. What inspired you to start playing a historically?
As I said I was a history student and I have always been a huge sims fan, so when I found out about the Decades Challenge I felt like I had to try it. I was hooked pretty much instantly.
Thanks again for tagging me, this was fun! I’m going to tag @alainas-sims, @applesaucesims, @jenplayssims, @sims-half-crazy, @sims-through-the-decades, and @simadelics.

Tumblr media
Those of you who have been to my main blog in the past year or so might recognize these familiar faces. The little girl is Karin Fjellvik, a character from the game “My Child Lebensborn” (I call it “MCL” for short), and the woman is Karita Omdahl, my MCL fan character/self-insert and Karin’s adoptive mother. I’ve made a few posts about them both on my main blog as well as my sideblog which specifically focuses on my OC x canon relationships, so take a gander if you’d like to read more about them! 
I’ll probably mention a bit of the game as I talk about them in this post, so minor spoilers ahead!! Also, fair warning if you do decide to check out the actual game for yourself: it’s based on real historical events (specifically having to do with the end of World War 2) and involves prejudice/racism and violence towards a child (among other things). Needless to say, it’s quite emotional, and let’s just say that by the end of my play-through, I wanted to punt quite a few people into the shadow realm because of what they did to my poor daughter. 😭
While MCL was originally set during the aftermath of World War 2, I imagine my sims counterparts live in the modern day. Funnily enough, the developers of MCL are currently working on a sequel which will take place in a more modern setting! I would think the sims versions of Karin and Karita moved to this new place in Willow Creek after they’d gone through similar events that happened in the original game. All they wanted to do was to just... get away from their old town, from Karin’s old school, from everything their cruel neighbors had done to them.
Tumblr media
Karin and Karita would start their new lives in this modest but pretty one-story home with a small outdoor area for the two to sit and for Karin to play. In the game, you happen to make contact with Karin (or her male counterpart Klaus)’s biological father, who wires you money to help you move out of town. I imagine Karita used much of that money to pay off this new house. They started with only $200 in simoleons, which was a nod to how you would start off with 200 coins (? - dollars? Or whatever they used in Norway during that time? I don’t think the game actually specified what that actual currency was lmao) in the original game.
As money is tight in their household, Karita knows they’ll need it only for the most important items, and she’s made sure Karin knows that. There are times where Karin wishes she had the newest toys or clothes like the other kids have, and she’ll get upset when she can’t have them. Karita promises she’ll buy them one day for her, just not today. After all, it’s better to be selfless than selfish. Karin recently received a whole mini art studio set for her birthday, and she LOVES it! She plans to create lots of artwork to display in her room, and she even uses it occasionally in the middle of the night when she can’t sleep. She even says she hopes to help her mother earn money by selling her best artwork. 🥰
Tumblr media
On certain days of the week, Karita works as a manual laborer as a way to bring in some stable income (I thought this was the closest to some kind of factory work, which is your/the parent’s job in MCL). The catch to this, though, is that she currently works during the weekend, which means Karin is left at home alone in the morning. :( Karita knows how much her daughter hates being by herself, so once she returns home from work, she makes sure they spend plenty of quality of time together. Their favorite activities include fishing (they can catch something to eat or Karin asks to keep one as a little pet), reading books, drawing pictures, cooking, and watching television.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
See the little fish next to the television? Karin caught it and wanted to save it from being eaten!
Other than Karin’s idea to sell some of her artwork in the future, the two also already have creative ways to earn extra money on the side (or when they really need money fast). For one, Karita happens to enjoy gardening and has made a habit of exploring her neighborhood and harvesting wild plants to grow around their home. She may keep some to use as fresh ingredients/food, but most of the time, she’ll sell them when they’re fully grown.
Tumblr media
Being experienced in manual labor, Karita isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty by digging for things as well. She’ll sell the majority of her finds along with things she catches through fishing.
Karin is also a keen explorer and likes to look for frogs. She’ll keep them as pets, too, but once she catches a new one, she knows she’ll have to sell the old one since multiple frogs is... kind of a lot to deal with in such a small home, lol.
Tumblr media
This is her latest find, a spotted leaf frog!
So that’s basically how a typical day would go for Karin and Karita! Karin goes to school during the week, of course, and since Karita doesn’t work on weekdays, she’ll usually spend those days building her skills and doing the many things she’s already come up with to earn extra money.
Currently, Karita is hoping to save up for some renovations, including expanding the interior of their home so she will able to build a little writing studio! She wishes to write about her and Karin’s experiences and to send a message to the world to be kind to each other - something among those lines.
I like playing wholesome families like this, and I think the added challenge of reduced funds not only ties into the original game where the characters came from, but it also makes playing this household a lot more fun and interesting.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh, I forgot to mention, guess who came by their household while I was taking screenshots of them for this post?
Tumblr media
a wild rose appears lmao
also i just realized you can spy one of dina caliente’s sons in the background

was tagged by @bastardpacs to answer some questions about my favourite Comfort Things! thank you, bab!
comfort film: i'll spare yous and only list a few: Fight Club, Face/Off, 28 Days Later, Mad Max: FR, Dredd (2012), and- yeah, my point is that the comfiest are just Very Good action films
comfort series (bonus): The Mentalist, absolutely. but an honourable mention goes to Black Sails bc i have a soft spot for pirates :))
comfort food: brioche, sweetcorn, or chips (uk chips, the soft fluffy ones). and tea counts, this isn't up for discussion
comfort clothes: my brother's old air cadet squadron hoodie i nicked a few months back has become a go-to of mine. that, or the black adidas hoodie i've got on rn. it's become so frayed and hole-y over the years, with Love!
comfort song: music is this very transient thing for me so it changes all the time, but Colors by Black Pumas has been a very sweet and soulful song that has accompanied me during this long and stressful week. and yeah, Sledgehammer by Peter Gabriel goes without saying
comfort book: ach, i've been meaning to pick up reading for the past four years or something lol, but i've often revisited Dan Brown's Robert Langdon series a lot
comfort game: i find so much more enjoyment in watching other people play games more than playing them myself (the Youngest Sibling Experience).
Nidhogg, Streets of Rage 2, the Resident Evil 2 remake, Borderlands (Handsome Jack, my beloved), Batman: Arkham Knight, SCP, the Hitman 47 games are very fun to watch, and - i’m an indie gamer, so - i’ve got a thousand indie games i'll hold back from listing too lol

Creating a Festival
When I was setting up for Conquer’s Isla Paradiso vacation, I created a community lot using @aroundthesims​​‘ Ruins objects. Originally I thought the lot would make a great secret party site. Later on, having still not used the lot (forgot it existed, had to search for it the day of the festival, lol), I shifted it’s purpose as the site for a Spring Break bash, giving my household something special to do when Glamour came to stay. Conquer was also learning to DJ and eventually got the moonlight want, so I figured the festival could serve as his debut. 
After playing in live for two years (IT’S BEEN TWO YEARS) I realized there were very few venues where the Central island sims socialized with the Little Sister folks. When it came time to get ready for the festival, I wanted to rectify this to some degree and prepared myself to be very hands on in order to really make the celebration Isla Paradiso wide.
If you’re thinking, this can’t get more complicated, ‘TIME TO MEET MY BRAIN:
Tumblr media
My Brain: If Isla Paradiso has a festival every year there has to be a reason for it.
Me (because we’re separate): I mean it’s a tourist hub, so any excuse to get people to spend money.
MB: What attracts spenders more than a cultural festival?
M: Okay. 
MB: Something where people can wear skimpy costumes and parade around town merrily. You do have all those cc masks, headdresses and a bunch of costume make up.
M: That’s a good point. I’ve never used half of that stuff, plus I’ve still got a bunch of beachwear downloaded just for this save and that’ll probably never get used otherwise. 
MB: Excellent! You’re in?
M: I am!
MB: Why are they parading in the outfits, though?
Tumblr media
M: What?
MB: Why? If it’s cultural there has to be a reason. You know, the history.
M: I mean it could have been established so long ago no one remembers why --
MB: But you have to remember... because that will help determine what their costumes look like.
M: Oooooh.
MB: And since you decided to be realistic and divide your island based on skin tone there’s going to at least be two different colored costumes.
M: Makes sen--
MB: Possibly multiple colors for different roles in the same faction...
M: Fa-factions?
MB: ...and two distinct styles of costumes to mark the separate factions. Maybe some costume variations depending on the household...
M: Oh, I --
MB: ...styles based on the colonizer group and the colonized group.
M: Umm --
MB: Because divided people will have divided cultures. Divided cultures mean divided histories...
M: WHERE ARE YOU GOING WITH THIS!
MB: ...or different versions of the same history.
M: ???
MB: You know? For the event.
M:
Tumblr media
MB: The event being celebrated during YOUR festival.
Tumblr media
M: What have I done?
MB: What have you done?
----
So basically I ran that little sims wikia snippet about Isla Paradiso’s royal descendants through my head overlord and out came a complicated story of the Ichtaca family massacring people to colonize their paradise. This initially took place while I was flicking through clothes in create a sim, and was fleshed out a bit further over time. Eventually, I decided there would be three tales of the final battle that lead to the current Isla Paradiso, and serves as the event the festival is held to honor:
The “official story” i.e. the one taught in the history books that inspires the lighter wealthier population’s celebration. 
The “real story,” or the survival tale descendants of the archipelago’s original, darker and poorer, residents, pass down and celebrate. 
Then the truth, which none of the sims in the game actually knows at this point.
The costumes worn by the residents were based on their respective myths. Only one group’s costumes got captured during live mode, and only a little of their history will be shared in A Farming Town: Tropical Vacation since this is told mostly through Conquer and he’s an outsider.
Next up, the first festival CAS post.

Back to Cape Garner
I was playing in Dragon Valley, changing most of the locals into supernaturals, because any modern person who thinks living in Medieval times is a “good” thing, is a bit short of gray matter. (And this from someone who was a card-carrying member of SCA!) So, I figured while I was “fixing” all the lots and giving the elven sims different skins to look more like Peter Jackson’s, I might as well make the locals into werewolves, fairies, and such. But now we’re entering the Christmas season, and I’ve decided that this is the year I will finally celebrate the holiday in my game. And where better to do it, than Cape Garner. 
I’ve been redoing all the lots - because that’s what I do. Replacing some with ones that @deelightfuldelights shared with me, when we were both over on The Sims Daily. I think I posted them on here before, but I’ll dig them up and share them again. 
Anyway, this town comes with a generic cemetery - which means that while it has a bunch of tombstones, they don’t generate any ghosts. And since I hate generic cemeteries, I’ve been busy making Sims to kill. Go, me! Well, I’ve also been making Sims to live here too, since the world is unpopulated. But today it’s all about dead Sims!
Tumblr media
As you can see, my dead Sims are a diverse group. Since this island was settled back in the 1800s, I decided to have dead Sims from different eras. Those 2 in the 18th century garb are refugees from the French Revolution, clinging to their past - hence the old-fashioned dress. The next one is supposed to be one of the indigenous natives - but there really isn’t any really good Native American clothing in-game, so she got stuck with this. (I probably could have tracked down some stuff, but since she’s a ghost, I didn’t bother). And next to her is an outlaw. 
Tumblr media
Then we have this group. The first “lady” ran the town brothel during the time of that outlaw dude. Next to her is EA’s idea of a Native American outfit, and then finally, a pirate dude. The guy in the green sweater gets to live. He’s a remake of Christopher Steele, who’s moved to town as the new orchestra conductor. 
In my town history I will have the Garner family - complete with their own set of ghosts - along with the Chou family, whom the Garner’s hate. The Chou’s like to tell everyone that they are among the original settlers - which they were in a sense. Just not the way they like to “remember” it. Like many Asian Americans they came over as cheap labor - not part of their plan, but that’s the way it was back then when the railroads were exploiting non-natives. Well, they exploited natives as well, but that’s another story. Actually, my German ancestors were told that the roads were paved with gold before they immigrated here in the late 1800s. What they found was no roads - but that they were expected to help build them.
But back to my history. The Chous have always been a hard-working family and as such, have made a success of themselves. They have reached level 10 in both the business and political careers for the last few generations, which has made them the richest family in town, while the Garners are on the downward slide. So yes, there’s envy which leads to hate. Because the Garners want things to be as they were, with them being the top dogs. They also hate the Singleton brothers - who bought an estate from another formerly wealthy family who lost everything and left town in disgrace. (The Garner daughter-in-law was from that family). The brothers made their money in tech and could care less about the past. Then there’s the Weatherby family - nouveau riche, who like to flaunt their wealth. (Think the Altos). Plus, they could care less about the environment, which doesn’t sit well with my Native Americans or my Greenies. And finally, there’s my Showtime Sims - also known by the Garners as “those” Sims. (Notice a trend here with my founding family?) 
Anyway, today, I have to make some Sims from the Roaring 20s to kill. Maybe I’ll just grab some from Roaring whatever it’s called.

Originally you all met some of my sims here. And over the last few months, I’ve either reblogged something simping over them or one for memes during the FOB tour.
So I figured…why not introduce them again with more facts about them than the last time?
Tumblr media
Liam Alessi
Like stated in the previous post, Liam uses he/they pronouns
Also like stated in the previous post, he’s three years older than Cody (their husband, who we’ll meet in a second!)
Liam is a silver screen icon in the game, meaning he reached level 10 of the acting career! And he’s been nominated for awards!
He also as a degree in psychology
Liam also bakes a bunch in the game and is on their way to mastering the baking skill! The kids are always eating whatever Liam bakes, which results in sugar rushes and crashes
Tumblr media
Cody Forrest
Like stated in the previous post, Cody uses he/him pronouns
Like stated above and in the previous post, he’s three years younger than Liam
Cody is a hall of famer in the game, meaning he reached level 10 of the athletic career!
He also has a biology degree
He’s literally the biggest simp when it comes to Liam, he gets flirty very easily around them and is always doing romantic stuff towards them
Tumblr media
Hattie Forrest
Hattie is the oldest of their three daughters (all of them have a 2 year age difference)
Before restarting the entire family for the infant update, Hattie graduated high school early and went to university as a teenager!
Also since I aged her down from a teenager to a toddler for the infant update, she’s a toddler with a degree in biology lol
Since I used her to meme FOB not playing Mania and other things revolving around music, she’s now a Mania girlie
She loves books, she’s always asking Liam and Cody to read something to her
Tumblr media
Emily Forrest
Emily is Liam and Cody’s second oldest and the middle child
As a teenager, she sang a lot!
She continues to sing a bunch as a toddler too, she’s always going up to Liam mainly and singing to them
She also had a nose ring as a teenager!
She’s also the little tyrant of the family…lots of chaos everywhere
Tumblr media
Eve Forrest (who is very milk drunk here)
Eve is the youngest of Cody and Liam’s children
As a teenager, and through mods, she had the modeling skill! Her dream was basically to be a model
She was on the cheerleading team too!
She loves playing with her older sisters
She also loves being cuddled by both parents and gets very upset whenever they put her down
Tumblr media
Midas
Liam’s best friend, he literally adores Midas and Midas adores them
Midas was a Christmas gift from Cody while Hattie was a younger toddler, just before Emily was born
He’s very spunky and loves to play
He also likes sleeping in the girls rooms whenever it’s bedtime
Like some huskies, Midas has heterochromia! He has one blue eye and one golden eye
@frankierosbackbends and I created these characters around 5 or 6 years ago just randomly tbh. But we love these characters very much!

In theory a small update like this one does not need it’s whole wordpress post. I will admit that it has been almost exactly half a year since I played the Trepes do to taking a job, finishing my bachelor’s and also starting my master’s. As such this summary, while done with love, is a bit smaller and quicker and less “wittier” than my usual style. Most of all, you are to be up to date when it comes to us making our journey back to the Trepe’s.
Tumblr media
Like any good update, this one starts with death. I reloaded the lot and found out that Erik Swain had died about one day before college would have ended. It seems like he did not want to participate in this legacy any longer.
Tumblr media
I did do my best to at least get him back but as you can see neither the Grim Reaper nor any of the roomies were very much into saving him. Poor Erik. May your spirit rest in this dorm.
Tumblr media
Honey: I cannot believe how Ginger will feel about this. I always felt there was this light connection between them :(
Tumblr media
Ginger: Well, Jimmy, I know you are feeding off an audience but I feel you are the only one for me. Nobody else will understand that my one true love is science.
Jimmy Phoenix: Well, my one true love is Ty Bubbler...and err...you I guess
Tumblr media
Ginger: You know, I’m pretty okay with this.
Nevermind then. Ginger did not cry a single tear for her supposed one true love and went right back to the guy who only used her as an occaisional third. Seems like Knowledge Sims really are a bit more open minded.
Tumblr media
Jane Stacks: Oh, what a coincidence - us two family sims meeting here after a tragical death that might play with your emotional judgement.
Basil: I’m so glad you are here, Jane. And may I say this white dress looks amazing on you?
Tumblr media
Jane: I just so happenned to hear the news and simply had to check on you by myself. Are you feeling okay, Basil? Do you want some company?
Basil: Well if you are asking so kindly...
Tumblr media
Basil: I’d honestly not know what to do without you.
It was a little bit odd how Jane had been the last person Erik hung out with before his tragical accident - but that meant she and Basil could share each other’s pain even better - the loss of a Sim one did not really care about.
Tumblr media
For Honey and Tolliver things became a little shaken during the night. She always loved his charming endavours but lately, as adorable as he was, she felt like he was just a little too depedent on her.
Tumblr media
Maybe it was good that they were graduating soon. She’d have to move back with her parents anyway and she needed all of her wits to survive there.
Tumblr media
And well, spending time with behind the greenhouse somewhat always ended the same wonderful way. She still had so much time - Erik hadn’t seized the moment, so there was a lot more reason for her to keep doing so.
Tumblr media
Erik: Surprise! Did you really T H I N K that was it? Just because I might be challenged when it comes to takign the trash out that doesn’t mean I am that easily to be removed from the narrative. Oh H E L L no. And I should know. I’ve been there.
Tumblr media
Erik: You’ve lost the heirpol, Ginger. And so did your brother. You think that means escaping your household? You poor dumb thing.
Tumblr media
Erik: Mark my words, Ginger Trepe. Post-graduation means you twop stop being relevant for your family’s line. And I should know what that means...let’s see if you do.
Tumblr media
Things were quiet at college. Erik’s warning felt like a hollow song. They all graduated one way or another and decided to move their seperate ways.
Tumblr media
Jane and Basil would move in together. The two of them were entirely inseperable since Erik had passed away.
Tumblr media
Though it sometimes seemed like Basil was still figuring some things out.
Tumblr media
Honey seemed a bit distracted and to Ginger’s surprise did not bring anyone home. She saw herself responsible for moving back in with Mom and Dad - and quietly called it “revenge” here and there for the time she spent on the sidelines during her childhood.
Tumblr media
Still, she seemed ready to take charge - like a true wolf would.
Tumblr media
For Ginger the warning was soon only a distant memory. She most of all wanted to become a doctor and there was no residency for her in the tiny town of Sesame Beach.
Tumblr media
Lucky for her, Ginger had a fairy godmother.

Hi all!! I wanted to give you guys some background to Phoebe and Collins just in case you were wondering because I just jumped into their life on tumblr (I had been sharing snippets on Twitter before). So here it is!:
Phoebe and Collins’ LP is called:
Chasing Happiness
Originally Phoebe (for me) was just going to try to navigate life coming from the big city and moving to the country (Henford) after her father died. I gave Phoebe the Materialistic and Snob traits for her to “grow out of” (I know you can’t grow out of traits) since she was used to a big life, not a tiny cottage with chickens in her back yard.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Collins is from another family I had been playing with for a very long time and so I got to thinking that maybe I could have Phoebe and Collins get together to keep the generation going because I’ve never done that in the sims. I get bored easily but I feel very determined to see where this goes and I’m going to stay as motivated as possible lol.
Collins comes from a teen mom who did very well in providing for him while still in high school. His father died a few days after he was born unfortunately and it broke his mother’s heart. They were soulmates. But she eventually found love in another man (for a while) and Collins finally had a proper father figure and things were good. They moved into a bigger house, his mom had more kids after getting divorced from his stepdad (he cheated), Collins got addicted to weed and had to go to rehab… twice, him and his girlfriend broke up because they grew apart during his addiction and life seemed to have no real meaning to him anymore. Until he met Phoebe.
He did not like her at first! He immediately saw her snobbiness and was a bit put off during their first interaction. Then they kept running into each other at school even though they were in separate classes and as they interacted more and more, he saw a sweet side to her. Sweet, sometimes a bit anxious although she also exuded confidence, and somewhat of a genius in her own way. He started to grow a true affection towards her and went out of his way a few times just to bump into her to have a conversation. She had him interested after a while.
On the other hand, Collins immediately beguiled Phoebe. Her heart rate always rose when he was around and at some point she knew she had to get him to feel the same. Sure she had just broke up with her ex-boyfriend before moving to Henford, but no other guy had ever made Phoebe feel the way she felt when she first met Collins. So she staged some run ins in the hallways. Always made it seem like it was an accident and always made sure to end up with a conversation. Almost every day for a few weeks until she finally racked up enough courage to ask the dude out. But he surprisingly said yes.
And they had a great date:
Tumblr media
Then Collins asked Phoebe (sheepishly) to homecoming. He was so nervous, but she turned out to be ecstatic at his poorly decorated poster board. Homecoming is where they had their first kiss of many and from then on Collins was fully hooked.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
They hung out a few more times. He even met her mom one day she invited him over for dinner. He doesn’t think she likes him very much. (She doesn’t)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Collins decided to ask Phoebe to be his girlfriend in a way he knew she would appreciate. He took her to the fanciest restaurant in town and it made him happy to see her smiling so big when he pulled into the parking lot. He knew she was a flashy kind of girl, but he didn’t mind it because she was kind. She said yes to being his girlfriend of course.
Tumblr media
They went out almost every week and really enjoyed each other’s company. For Phoebe, he made her day to day life not suck and added a bright side to moving. For Collins, she made him feel whole with her laughter and passion for everything. He soon started seeing her as a girl he’d like to spend the rest of his life with. They even made it to the matching Christmas pjs stage!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And now you’re all caught up! I’ll do my best to keep this story organized and easily recognizable if any body is keeping up with it!
.
.
.
(Yeah I play the sims… you’re telling me YOU don’t??)
Thanks for any comments!! 🫶🏾 let me know what’s up 💭

thank you @gellavonhamster for tagging me
Comfort movie?  
i don't really watch a lot of movies and i especially don't rewatch them unless they're aquamarine (2006) and cruel intentions (1999), idk why but i'm obsessed with those two. they're both based on books though i'd say very loose adaptations of aquamarine by alice hoffman (which is a sweet story about friendship) and the classic dangerous liaisons by pierre choderlos de laclos (which has been on my tbr list since i found out cruel intentions was based on it but i still haven't gotten around to reading it).
Comfort food?  
pasta with salsa (tomato sauce, the mediterranean one). i usually make it with spaghetti, or penne if i'm too poor to buy barilla spaghetti, and i usually buy pre-made bottled salsa from the store but if i can get my hands on home-made salsa all the better.
Comfort clothing?  
i find light summer dresses most comfortable during summer and jeans with a sweater or something during the colder months, but i don't have a go-to outfit when i need comfort or something like that. i mean i have a few favourite dresses that i really like wearing when i go out, but i wouldn't call them comfort dresses.
Comfort song?  
can't pretend by tom odell, ogledala su oko mene by ogledala and it's all so incredibly loud by glass animals.
Comfort book?  
oh god this is a bit embarrassing but no more embarassing than my comfort movies i guess so i'm going to be honest and say that my comfort book is devil's cub by georgette heyer, i've reread this book more times than i care to admit. alternatively, in hopes to make myself a bit more pretentious, i do enjoy coming back to de profundis by oscar wilde.
Comfort game?  
the sims 2 or the sims 4, depending on my mood. i love playing with pre-made characters of pleasantview and strangetown in the sims 2, i just love those storylines, but if i just want to build houses, then sims 4 is definitely superior.
Tagging @girlredactd, @emmatmackeys, @qospodar-prstenova, @winterskings, do it if you want to, don't do it if you don't 😘

Hello!
Well that was a long time ago, over 6 months! 😳 Whoops, that was a whole lot longer than I intended back in November/December. Since back then, I've mostly been lurking here on Tumblr and following everyone on my timeline who did post new stuff.
Instead of playing the Sims and writing new posts I've mostly been reading books (I've got a TBR stack just short of 50 books - trying to work through that also). I'm not the fastest reader anymore, as a child I devoured books but we've got so much distractions nowadays. And (re)reading so-called 'doorstoppers' (thick books with several hundreds of pages) doesn't help with quickly upping the book count either. Well at least I'm enjoying the (re)read, it's very interesting to read a book again when you kind of remember the ending.
But back to the Sims: during the past half year I did pop in to the game from time to time (mostly after updates or SDX deliveries or new content I’ve bought - a couple of kits). However I haven't played with the Abbotts much, until recently! I've finally worked through the heap of screenshots I had from last year, and that meant I could make new ones! So I've played a couple of Sims days already, and hope to make some more progress. But in the mean time I'll first upload everything from last year and add some other posts too. I've decided to slow my queue down to one post a day, to make it easier for me to keep up with the flow.
And here's a recent screenshot of Chris (one of the potential heirs) trying out one of the newest additions to the game:
