ramblings of a casual simmer

Important announcement about SimPearls

It is with a very heavy heart, that Betsy and I have decided to close SimPearls next year. We are both getting too old and sick to carry on. Our hosting runs out in February and rather than pay £1,166 to renew for another 3 years we have decided to call it a day. If the group was still busy we might have considered it, but it's really too much money for the few loyal members and not fair to ask them for donations. It was a wonderful complete forum for nearly 10 years. It was one of the, (if not THE best) forums around. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our past and present staff, designers and loyal members for the time and content you have given to SimPearls over the years.

We will close late January, which hopefully will give everyone time to save what they want. We will be disabling registrations from today but will open the forum up for everyone to access any downloads/links they wish to save

Kind regards Kim & Betsy

Booting up sims 2 after such a long time was like meeting a long lost friend 🥹 dove back into playing it like a fish takes to water, and then got slapped violently awake when I entered build mode and forgot how unforgiving it was when you realize your entire house needs to be moved one tile to the left.

making some friends, making some moolah, emilie's doing quite well given that she was homeless about 3 posts ago.

figure i'd try and get the smog eater vacuum thingy (despite not being able to earn any money from the job) so she can actually use her dumpster dive finds!

she's made enough from the quill fruit to put up a small greenhouse so she can sell it all year round. it's the only thing that's paying the bills!

she's got a decent looking shack tiny home now! (not an actual tiny home because you know hardcore mode and all) finding that one quill fruit and selling all those candles on Plopsy really has helped her income!

the community lot turned into a maker lot (thank the heavens) so it was time to recycle a bunch of bits and start fabricating! Santa was also quite generous and gave us a grill so we can finally have hot foods. All in all Emilie seemed to have a good holiday season finishing with counting down to new years at the local bar.

finally generating some sort of income! I decided to play an extreme version where I can't just sell items using the inventory, has to be sold with the table which makes it suuuper difficult to generate any sort of meaningful income.

got lucky with a second refrigerator roll (the red one refused to repair itself after a rainstorm for whatever reason) and a crappy double bed

then of course she gets sick because it's freezing crap cold and she's been sleeping outside in the rain. right before I scavenged enough money for a 3x3, I almost lost her to another lightning strike.

okay second time's the charm right? too bad this time I didn't get lucky and find 100 simoleons right off the bat from the dumpster...

decided to do a rags to riches for funsies to take a break from the challenge. was short lived as she literally died of electrocution within 2 hours.

a fresh batch

“You didn’t have to come early to help,” Melinda said as she continued baking Sebastian’s birthday cake. “Oh it’s okay, I wanted to see him before everyone gets here and I have to share him with them.” Arthur said as he looked around the place. “Where is the little guy anyways?” “Unfortunately napping and trust me you don’t want to wake him up.” Melinda said as she whisked the batter…

taking a "reMarkable" detour...

Not Sims related but I didn’t know where else to put this so here it is! Recently made a digital planner for the upcoming 2024 year since I got gifted a reMarkable 2 writing tablet by my thoughtful husband and I was struggling to find a free, functional planner online. Sooooo in typical me fashion I cobbled together a working planner for myself and thought I’d just share the love in the form of…

needed the double doors now...

same concept as the single door before, got rid of all the annoying nails and recoloured it in the same colours as the basic rounded door previously done.

colour swatches for the door (and all previous downloads) can be seen here as they are the same as single door.

Just some recolours of the "Imagined Landscape" canvas painting. i stumbled upon pascal campion's daily sketches back in the ts2 days and wanted to use his art in ts4 now for an "aspiring artist" attending a fine arts university. as per usual figure i'd share the love, and check out his work!

well either she's still depressed from her friend dying or his woohoo performance hit a new level of bad... we'll just say she's depressed.
