Iddy Does The Sims

screencap dumping grounds. occasional shitty commentary. i've been playing the same extended family for like 10 years.

[lifefruitpancakes]

I love how when Sims return from travel, they’re just summarily ditched somewhere in town. Usually it’s at the edge of the map, and they all land in literally the exact same spot so they’re merged into one big Simblob for a couple seconds, so I guess these guys got lucky by showing up on the bridge.

Womp womp woooooooomp.

[lifefruitpancakes]

lol, I guess we know who this guy’s favorite author is.

Showing off pics of Leila <3

Uh, Aida, she’s his granddaughter, too; I’m pretty sure he’s seen them.

Weird that they’re not sitting together but okay.

At least they’re talking to each other from... seven feet away...

Weird as fuck.

Uh???

DUDE

Paparazzi fuck off challenge

And then this rando shows up to have an anxiety attack. Is their bedroom tonight’s hotspot or

oh for fuck’s sake

You guuuuuuuuuys this is supposed to be a romantic bonding trip

No, Champs les Sims isn’t safe, either.

[lifefruitpancakes]

Stop being such a rude asshole, Aida.

Is that any way to think about the birthday girl? 8(

They’re best friends :)

Ah, NOW she changes into her costume.

ffs, people; let your animals inside.

How can she eat with that on???

MO, WHAT THE FUCK

[lifefruitpancakes]

God, that looks horrific.

ALSO LOOKS LIKE HELL. You all have indoor seating and appliances for a reason, people!

Cannot wait until he grows out of mermaid-ness.

Let’s take a look at what Ethan’s parents are up to!

Noooooo clue who this is but okay

Ethan’s mom, Jazlyn.

His younger sister, Deborah, who COULD look worse but who still needs a wardrobe change.

Deborah’s boyfriend, Lucas Bedlington.

Kanoa, Ethan’s dad. I might let him keep the shirt and the shoes but riding pants as everyday wear are a NO.

Camilla with her and Ricky’s daughter, Louise.

Spotted Jack and Benjamin elsewhere in town while I was with the Crooks, and it looks like Jack aged up without me! I’ll have to go back into their household and fix him up.

lol, fuck eating with family, I guess.

Benjamin’s not fond of Ralston’s ghost hanging around, I guess 8(

Meanwhile this rando’s just... hanging around their property.

A better (athletic, in this case) look for Jack. I like to let them go grey gradually rather than overnight, so he’s back to something closer to his normal hair color now.

[lifefruitpancakes]

God, what thrilling lives Sim paparazzi must lead.

... Actually, no, this is pretty realistic; I feel like I’ve seen a lot of news articles about celebrities doing nothing but eating in public.

THIS IS REALLY CUTE, HELP

He’s definitely a better see-sawer than he is a butler.

goddammit Tiberius there are so many other chairs you could pick

And Imani’s pregnant!

FRAAAAAANK /shakes fist

But for real, I think if they ever fixed this weird glitch (lol they won’t), I’d be at least a little disappointed.

Sigh.

I mean, this is sweet, I’m glad you guys are friends and all, but... timing?

lolllll this is always a little sad. Three dedicated fans and one guy who appears to be strolling along in front of the stage.

MA’AM I hope that’s the vegan sushi

is looking like a zombie purposeful, or

So she had the baby! I guess I didn’t get any pics. Next time!

[lifefruitpancakes]

Love TS3′s infinite pizza.

Simona’s cats! The older one is named Kawaii (named by the game, lmao), and I can’t remember the kitten’s name off the top of my head. Maybe I’ll come back in here and edit it later. Maybe I’ll completely forget. Who knows!

Oh, shut up, you joy-loving fuck.

[lifefruitpancakes]

Time for the baby to come!

Excuse me, BABIES. There’s three of them in there!

oh god

WAIT HALEY NO JUST TAKE THE SUBWAY

I ended up teleporting her. Thank god for cheats!

Or just... put them on the ground on the first floor; that’s cool too, I guess.

The girl is Farah, and the boys are Khalid and Rafiq.

I don’t think he’s crying because he needs to be baked in the sun a little more, Haley.

Uh-oh. Looks like the bedroom situation is going to need some work.

And it probably should happen fast! Look at those poor floorbabies.

That’s better! The babies get their own floor.

And the cribs... magically disappear when you look at them through the skylight. The babies stay, though!

It’s hilarious that they cheer like this WHILE HOLDING INFANTS.

[lifefruitpancakes]

We return to Al Medina to the sight of MORE TOWNIES BOOKING IT ACROSS THE DESERT BECAUSE THEY ALL REFUSE TO USE THE FUCKING SUBWAY SYSTEM

Haley and Ali have a small wedding at home and none of the guests give a fuck until they start making out in front of them.

Yes, because that’s appropriate when there’s music already playing.

Pregnancy time! Already! I really rush into these things in the new saves.

LOL WHOOPS.

I wonder if there’s a way to adjust the settings to make light spill more naturally in cases like this! It happens in multi-story buildings, too; the light’s glow STOPS ABRUPTLY at the boundary of the floor it’s on.

Fucking vampires.

[lifefruitpancakes]

A true Icelander!

Pregnancy outfit! The gloves + short sleeves are a nice touch lmao.

This is the art gallery; I’m genuinely unsure if the design team forgot to add in paintings, or if the wallpaper swatches are supposed to be what’s on display here.

Never let townies choose their own outfits.

And she goes into labor while she’s swimming, so...

THIS IS HOW SHE CHOOSES TO GET TO THE HOSPITAL. She does not even consider changing outfits. Or, you know, putting on shoes.

Notice the magical loss of her pregnancy belly.

Look at the unflinching commitment to terrible choices on display here. Welcome to the world, Oliver Liamsson! Welcome to the crazy, fucked-up world.

Oh, and also, your mom’s a demon.

[lifefruitpancakes]

This is the little resort that they manage!

And this is their very nervous-looking front receptionist.

lol

Another one for the “horrific default work outfits” pile. Imagine wearing this to the office.

Slooooooowly renovating the place.

Cleaning up all the brambles and beach debris...

Ugh, you guys, gross; do your fucking dishes.

[lifefruitpancakes]

Lyra, the youngest in the family, heads off to college! University sims continue to display the most stunning judgement (cold weather wardrobe choices, IGLOO PLACEMENT...)

Lyra wastes no time doing her thing.

Into the Future CAS stuff is a plague.

just

don’t rip any holes in the space-time continuum, sweetie

Lyra wastes no time in cramming in all those stereotypical freshman experiences.

And then promptly extricates herself from this dude immediately after losing her virginity to him.

He reacts by, uh, angrily checking out her ass. Okay.

The old dude who lives in the frat house continues to kind of creep me out.

oh god Lyra noooooo

Random entertainment careerists showing up in inappropriate places is also a plague, btw! This is the one reason why I won’t get Supernatural. I’d really like the play with the occult states more, but not at the expense of them infesting all of my saves; future stuff and Showtime stuff is bad enough.

And this guy is just... repulsed. Holy shit, dude.

hahaha they are BOTH overreacting so much

so uh

this dude is her PROFESSOR.

Just because you’re 18+ and it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s not super creepy of him, Lyra 8(

Autonomously berating ignorance? ALSO A PLAGUE. I’ve probably complained about it before but good god this thing will destroy relationships if you’re not careful.

pfffff

Girl looks like she’s taking a piss.

And that was Lyra’s first term at college! Please break up with the professor for your own good, Lyra.

[lifefruitpancakes]

Bradly Hudson is Cassiopeia and Cid’s roommate. Dude needs a shower.

Oh man, Lyra, don’t break up with Xavier Lancaster via text 8(

Caelum and his son, Jonah.

I do really like this house.

No memory of who the random townie is.

hahahaha oh no CAELUM

i hate randomly-generated custom work outfits

In true Sim fashion, everyone else just hangs out by the door.

HAHAHA

no joke I actually do like this look, it just doesn’t fit Lyra at all.

That’s better.

Before the party ends: a better look at Jasmin Shaw’s unfortunate fashion sense.

A totally normal thing for wild horses to do!

Also normal. What a paparazzo.

[lifefruitpancakes]

awwwwww Jordan proposes in the rain, cute

Then they go on the most emotionless roller coaster ride ever. Look at those faces!

lmao I love the continued switching of traditional gender roles here. Jaron leaps into Jordan’s arms!

[lifefruitpancakes]

This is what happens when I come back from vacation, too. I summarily appear at the edge of town, bodily merged with my family. Truly TS3 is a paragon of realism.

Newly toddler-ified Ivy dozing away.

Uh, smart choices, there, Riley. Sure.

Janna likes Regan’s house :)

Here’s Consort with his grandson, Jan - he’s Goneril and Ruben’s son, and Katherine’s younger brother.

cuuuuuute I didn’t even know they were friends tbh

lmao, party in the bathroom

[lifefruitpancakes]

Let’s follow David and Evelyn to Egypt!

UHHH DAVID is that okay? Is this allowed? You’re going to get yelled at.

Better! Also, this is totally me while traveling. And I do sit and read in weird places, but I draw the line at employee-only sections of shops.

“yeah there’s SKELETONS down here it’s nuts, dad”

I love when they freak out and are immediately fine after.

David continues to do typical tourist things while his daughter risks life and limb.

And this. Always this.

lmao Evelyn THERE’S NO ONE THERE TO LISTEN TO YOU

Some randos creeping on their tent in the middle of the night.

god those shoes look terrible for this

oh yeah that looks like a sound idea

So I told her to roast some food over the fire and I was

NOT

PREPARED

for her to haul out a whole-ass head of lettuce.

and then CHOMP ON IT as her father simultaneously roasts an apple and SIX HOT DOGS

Is this typical? Do other sims do this? I swear I’ve mostly seen them cook normal things.

haaaahahahaha

this is horrifying

That’s right, David; you sit there and think about what you did.

[lifefruitpancakes]

i love showing up in a town and immediately encountering weird shit like this. There aren’t even supposed to be wild horses in Roaring Heights.

David and Evelyn’s puppies are growing up! i still cannot be assed to learn any of their names; there are something like seven of them. I also have no idea who they’re breeding with, but they all keep popping out looking like clones of each other, so uh.

I had a dog growing up whose father was also her half-brother from a previous litter. It happens sometimes. All I’m saying. Nature is no respecter of incest taboos.

M O R  E

[lifefruitpancakes]

Some shots of the kids as they age up - here’s Shana!

Kamala. Who looks ready to murder, Jesus Christ.

Ian.

You guys, uh, okay?

Also, I switched back to them and Vidya has straight-up vanished? Like, totally gone, from both the household and the family tree. I guess I’ll just say she died. Very sad 8(

Sophie’s thousand-yard stare is concerning me.

Lily’s shittily-animated hair is concerning me!

Ephraim.
