Happy Africa Day simmers! 🌍✨

I play a subsaharan African island called Labadi as my main hood in sims 2! I wanted to share with you some of Labadi’s cultural lore.

Sugar Mama is well known in Labadi for her sweet sweet cooking. Plus, she always has candy to give to the kids around town. That’s how she snagged the nickname Sugar Mama. She has had to cook to survive, raising two boys and taking care of an elderly mama on her own. Through it all, she has successfully operated a “chop bar” - a Ghanaian term for a casual eatery of local cuisine (usually fufu and a variety of soups) for many years. Her chop bar is called Sugar Mama’s of course! Though the spot has some wear and tear…the food is bussin! Period 🤭

Inspired by these photos:

Happy Africa Day and I am excited to continue to celebrate my culture and traditions in game! 🫶🏾

Thank you @sailorjojogames for including me in the line up of simmers celebrating Africa Day together!

Okay, I liked it. Looking forward to the mods. And a tutorial on how to make mods :D

paywalling mods & cc is part of the reason why ea scaled up the micro-transactions for sims 4 btw

What pisses me off the most about there being early access content for paralives is the fact that it’s an INDIE GAME. it’s not a multi million dollar company like EA. It’s an early access indie game and some of you are so fucking greedy for cash that you wanna profit off of it? We already have to deal with this shit in the sims like the community is fucking infested with it and now you wanna do this to paralives when they literally told us that we’d always be getting updates for free???? Loser behaviour. You’re a loser

So the Paralives Para-Maker✨

Firstly, Paralives is AMAZING for an early access game with a 15 man dev team 🥰 I haven't had tons of time to play just yet, and I know there is TONS of room for improvement (that will happen in due time), so these are just my initial thoughts on the Para-Maker specifically.

I wanted to touch on something that I find sorta important.

Dark skin paras...😬

Now, I'm not saying anything about liking or disliking the artstyle because I think custom content will be able to fulfill people's needs and styles eventually. However, their vanilla options for dark skin are...not good.

Above is my attempt at making my sim Nyanaath. It took me waaay too long to make her look decent, even with the customization options for the skin highlights and such. It's always the first thing I notice; dark skins suffer from the same thing they suffer from in other games (both in the early Sims games and other character creator games). And that's a lack of detail. As an artist I can tell you it's because you cannot take a light/pale skin and simply darken it waaay down with a colorwheel without losing Every. Single. Detail.

Dark skin reflects light differently than lighter/fair skin, so when you darken it without considering that, it looks flat and undefined.

This was honestly something I noticed was lacking from the beginning when people were discussing the Para's stylized looks.

Dark skin Paras should not look like Mr. Popo from DBZ next to light or fair skinned Paras. This is something easily (relatively) fixable by making a separate category for brown and dark skins that have the proper detailing built in by default—or even just making some body detailing you can add to get rid of that flatness without having to pile on tons of makeup to brighten highpoints on the skin.

I also have my gripes with the fact that I can't get certain facial features without a preset. But again, more face and body sliders are something easily added. But I write all of this to say;

PLEASE GIVE THEM YOUR FEEDBACK! And don't be rude about it! This is what early access is for, so let your voice be known 💗
