Leo's TS4 One-Life-Stage-Ago save

No CC, vanilla plus savefile, overhauling a little over 15 neighborhoods. Frozen WIP

One-Life-Stage-Ago save file is now available for download.

80-90s overhaul of 15+ worlds. Sims all over are expected to buy groceries and do their laundry. Parking spaces, malls, and a place to go hang out with a distant cousin.

No CC, no gallery lots, original builds. An old laptop died for this. Anyway, spread the word, let's torture sims together.

Did I mention almost dying from diseases? Yeah, so, anyway, that happened.

I have deadly progressing diseases enabled in Last Seed, and the specific curing potion too. Which are too expensive and fairly rare. So I just kept chugging the Resist disease and generic Cure disease ones, but to no avail. Eventually (after, ahem, reloading because ded) I ran up to the Vigilants just in time. Good thing Stendarr love... well, tolerates me. So another chance to this idiot.

the murder quest and Stendarr's follower

This follower of Stendarr has never committed murder before. Until he came across the Butcher of Windhelm.

Seriously, this is kinda accidentally ironic. Also, he did kill bandits, but it didn´t count 'cause self defense, I guess...

Also, while he was in the city, he overheard two racist nords threatening a dunmer.

Unfortunately, the guards do most of the harassing... (Seriously, not sure which mod added that, but I'm a fan)

The investigation was a tad bit strange...

Got to redistribute some fancy clothes found in the abandoned murder house...

But we got him at the end (and before the horse lady, I love her).

Medieval Essentials set

Medieval Essentials is a functional set made for immersive medieval gameplay. Instead of decorating just one room, this collection reimagines modern necessities in a way that keeps their gameplay purpose without breaking the illusion of living in another era.

The kitchen includes a pantry that works as a fridge, counters, modular wall shelves, a stove, a table island, a sink, and a bucket-trashbin. Everything functions off the grid, so your Sims can cook and store food the old-fashioned way.

The bathroom offers simple hygiene essentials: a rudimentary toilet, a basket-style sink for washing, a shower with a hanging cruche, and a privacy screen.

For scholars and scribes, the set also includes a scriptorium area with a desk, chair, and writing station that functions as a computer (so the animation and sounds will be weird, sorry 😝). It’s the only item not off-the-grid, as custom tuning is not in my skills. Bookshelves, scroll shelves, and a working off-the-grid candle complete the scholarly corner, alongside a grand tapestry inspired by authentic patterns.

And for Eco Living DLC owners, a windmill and a well help generate electricity and water. Because even medieval Sims deserve utilities ⛲

Description

As I get older, I only move more to the left. Not less.

Funnier still, I am becoming less of a pacifist.

[leolovesthings]

Watching a show that is not that new (can´t for the life of me call it old, it's newer than 2000s), and realizing that I might actually prefer it when straight writers don't try to be hip and happening with the whole "representation" thing.

Instead they have hot dudes throwing each other around, picking fights, taking off shirts, speaking in innuendo, pressing daggers to each other´s throats...

This is the type of tension that gives longing, suspense, intense staring at each other's eyes, hands on barrels...

Idk, maybe I am just so sick of the real life hook-up culture obsessed jocks, 40 something guys who by their own admission don't know what they are even looking for, and 'discreet' cheaters, which appear to make so much of the mlm community now for some reason.

Do these idiots really make the majority though? Or is the weight of masculine performance so high, that the rest of us just keep pretending like it's fine?

[leolovesthings]

It is not even three a.m., yet I have a thought.

There is this thing my brain does sometimes when I'm tired, when I either can not tell in which language am I currently reading/saying/hearing/thinking something, or I am straight up confused.

It don't even have to be the same alphabets. Words, letters, sounds - it is all just the meaning delivering soup.

Nutritious goop, if you will.

Set aside the fact that it does get ridiculous sometimes, imagine: magic.

Fantasy settings. Dude who speaks dog, human, and elvish, and some nights just starts barking mid conversation.

Got some random post in my feed about how in NY not doing small talk and getting out of someone's way faster is more polite.

AND I MISS THIS ATTITUDE SO MUCH.

It is a universal big city thing, I think. So tired of living in a small one.

[leolovesthings]

Watched an old dude play solitaire and it finally clicked for me:

single player games! have existed! for ages!

Usually when 'analogue' games are mentioned it's all chess that, board games this.

Board games are basically pre-computer multiplayer.

Which also explains it how equally unengaging do I find both multiplayer online games and board games. I mean. They can be alright, ESO ain't bad, I suppose. But there is no soul there, no special little world, separated from ours, no magic in it all.

[leolovesthings]

no offense, but the more I get to know spaniards, the more I'm interested in germans

[leolovesthings]

So. I have (almost) gotten used to the mess when living with strangers.

But guess what. Never have I ever found a KNIFE IN A WASHING MACHINE.

And I just found. TWO. Two fucking knives. While taking out my laundry.

How did they get there? How did I not notice them? I did take out some minor trash before putting in my stuff. But somehow they went unnoticed...

And the best of all is that naturally this was the time I washed my one and only hat. Which I now have to sow together somehow. Just. Why does reality be like that?..

[leolovesthings]

I was out of bread on a holiday, so I went to a little shop I don't often go to (almost everything was closed). Saw a group of young guys buying bottles for the night.

And it hit me suddenly: this was me two lifetimes ago. Not just one, but two!

Suddenly I am a Sims character, flying through life stages. So different and distinct ones, I don't think me from back then would've liked me now. And it feels like I wasted time being someone I was not.

But then I suppose this is what aging feels like. And if I was not who I was then I would not have arrived here. And I did not buy bread, but pie and bagels.

[leolovesthings]

After living for a few months with male flatmates I have only one answer for The Heavy's "What makes a good man?" and it's FUCKING HYGIENE.

In no particular order, things I have to deal with on a regular basis:

piss on the bathroom floor, food in the kitchen sink, mop for cleaning the floor on the flat being left soaking in piss due to being used as a bathroom piss rag without wringing out or washing, food and grease on kitchen sponges, small hairs all over the room mirror borrowed for a haircut, small hairs on the bathroom bin, unflushed piss in the toilet bowl, stains on the shower cabin walls, crumbs on the kitchen hood, overflowing kitchen bin and trash being thrown around it, pieces and drops of food all over the kitchen cabinets, kitchen rags being left soaking in various food related liquids and pieces of food without washing or wringing out.

And this is me excluding any more rare, albeit not unique cases, such as toilet brush being left covered in poop, or relatively clean but handle down on the floor, or the bathroom sink coated in snot and blood.

I mean. As a gay man, how am I supposed to date without keeping THAT in mind. What is wrong with our gender????!?!

[leolovesthings]

Christians: oh, x-mas is not really religious, it's cultural!

Also christians: baby jesuses everywhere.

Jesusi? anyway.

The only thing more annoying is asking: oh, and your family?

When I say I am an atheist. Kinda like, but reeeeally you must be something else though, right?

It is satisfying in a way to answer: nope, they too.

Another one to the pile is: so you are searching?

Nope. Found. All good. 42.

[leolovesthings]

thinking about someone's comment under a clip from doctor who about some evil aliens:

at least the devil always negociates!

and attempting to imagine what is going on in the head of a religious science-fiction enjoyer.

now that is scary.

[leolovesthings]

Provoking a racist priest was easy. Technically not a murder, just self-defense. What a quiet city center though.
