Welcome to my little corner of the internet!

I’m Moa, and this is where I share stories and gameplay from the Berryverse—my rotationally played Not so Berry save full of chaotic families I’m way too attached to. Feel free to poke around—just don’t blame me if you get attached to any of them.

Some of you might remember that I wrote about struggling with what I thought was long COVID a while back (click here for context). Turns out, it was actually long-term mold exposure, and the symptoms disappeared after I moved a little over a year ago—best plot twist I’ve had in a while (I wrote vaguely about the move here).

Right now, I’m in the middle of ramping my hours back up to full-time. It’s going well, but it takes a lot of energy, so I haven’t been playing Sims 4 as much as usual. To avoid irregular posting, I’m taking a little break (maybe 1–2 months) to build up a backlog. Then I’ll be back to posting regularly again!

Myrtle’s first workday? A disaster. But what’s a day without a little chaos? She’s feeling really proud of her work today—mostly because the lab’s still standing. Barely.

This one originally said:

“Her first workday was a disaster success!”

Myrtle’s always just a little too proud when things explode. The new caption definitely captures that energy better than the old one!

Myrtle walked in, dropped some bad news, and made her colleague so nervous that… well, let's just say accidents were made.

This one originally said:

“Myrtle is meeting her colleagues for the first time.”

Meeting a colleague and nearly making them die of embarrassment? Not quite the same thing. Safe to say this one needed a little refinement.

[foxena]

Thinking about the missing kid case—oh, look, the missing kid!

This one originally said:

Okay, dramatic. She only set herself on fire. The workplace was fine. (For now.)

Poses: Emotions Seated (Kids) by @simsxen

[foxena]

Myrtle has no degree, no training, and no idea what she’s doing. But she does have goggles. Or—she would, if anyone had remembered to give her any.

This one originally said:
