'Member way back when Candy teased/wondered out loud which one of their babies would be funnier lookin', hers or Rhett's and Penny's? No? *lol* Welp, lo and behold, a dozen years later they can finally see for themselves.

"What the...whoa. But, uh, that's just Junior's fug fuggin up our genes, right, Pop?"

"...Right, Pop?"

Valentine didn't answer.

And Candy also ignored Rhett as per usual. She's trying to find his angles for Baby Boy's first Simstagram posts.

___________

This isn't Richie. Just a random mashup of Candy/Junior genes. Candy was never quite so hands on with Richie even though he is swimming more in the Hart side of the gene pool. But this Candy's clearly not "my" Candy. This one's original flavour, lol. And, oddly enough, Random Mashup HartMann also got grey eyes.

I did, for no real reason, make the baby faces for Richie and Una first. Richie's not even getting any baby pics. Candy was...busy. But oh, Una...my Una. (Proxy, too, so Rhett still lost that bet!) I can't really do that to Una. (Now the toddlers they each became? Absolutely adorable in their own special ways...but I'm thinking it wasn't so much an oversight as a marketing decision for TS2 babies to default to Face Two.)

No way Dora was looking at this face, blithely accepting that's just how some babies look.

Not even with that pic of Penny (retroactively adorning the walls) to go on. I suspect the pacifier's there for a reason but still I'm pretty sure her cheeks didn't have like a whole topography of promontories, caverns, and skin ridges!) The Hart genes make her baby look more alien than Penny!

No mugshots headshots of Proxy Hart. This is just what I did while I should've been doing other stuff. Though please do tell me if someone's already done the heavy lifting baby-facing the Widespot sims. Then I'd only have to do my townies and born-in-game sims.

And a closing shot of the one who didn't make it. Leave it to Val's (undiluted) genes to restore my faith in genetic baby faces.

But really it's the eyebrows...Faces like eyebrows. :)

There's always a kind of recency bias, but now that I think about it I do believe that Frankie Mashuga throwing his shoe at Goopy Gilscarbo was unquestionably funnier than Jenny Joy's hallucinated Cinderelly mice.

With one I laughed at the scene itself, with the other I just laughed at myself for making anything so silly.

(And in that vein, I still see a Grim Reaper'd Rich Mann showing up on cue at Daytona's last breath to the tune of Nas's Owe Me Back.) Probably a good thing I can't get my goddamn game to play.

-Sims 2- Death & Taxes inspired Grim Reaper Default Replacement

Played the game's demo a while ago and THIS particular outfit caught me eye and made wonder, what if I put this on grim reaper in The Sims 2. And, here we are me uploading my random ahh idea! Hope you enjoy! In-game pics under the cut!

asked one of my coworkers how she's doing today and she goes "could be better, could be worse," and another coworker nearby who was eavesdropping chimes in with "could be a lil bit o' alligator curse!" i have no idea what he meant by that but i do know that it has been immediately added to the lexicon.

[lyricwritesprose]

He's riffing on the Tiny Tim clapping song from when I was a kid, back in the Paleolithic.

Miss Lucy had a baby She called him Tiny Tim She put him in the bathtub To see if he could swim

He drank up all the water He ate up all the soap He tried to eat the bathtub But it wouldn't go down his throat

Miss Lucy called the doctor Miss Lucy called the nurse Miss Lucy called the lady With the alligator purse

"It's measles," said the doctor "It's smallpox," said the nurse "It's nothing," said the lady With the alligator purse

"Vaccination," said the doctor "Operation," said the nurse "Some ice cream," said the lady With the alligator purse

Miss Lucy punched the doctor Miss Lucy slapped the nurse Miss Lucy paid the lady With the alligator purse

Or at least, that's as well as I remember it. Had to guess at a few words. The point of all this nonsense is to get together with a friend, sit across the bus aisle from her, keep the rhythm with a clapping pattern—and then challenge each other to get the song faster until everything falls the fuck apart. I was never good at it but I knew some experts.

All I know is that "Could be a little bit o' alligator curse," does more or less fit the rhythm, and the Lady With The Alligator Purse pops up in these children's rhymes more than once. Since a lot of these children's rhymes are just running feral, with no clear composer or source or anything else, your guess is as good as mine.

[penig]

It's Miss Suzy who did things on my playgrounds...I don't know why anybody every bothers with the doctor and the nurse. The lady with the alligator purse has you covered, whatever your problem is!

[quinndominion]

Dunno anything about a lady or her alligator purse but you start with "Miss Lucy" and my brain immediately knows how to sing these verses...

[quinndominion]

(Always thought I'd posted this as its own thing but looks like it was only ever embedded with other fave pics. Anyway...)

In the wee insomniac hours of this morning I ran across an ad for some show called Sheep Detectives (I don't think it was a delirium hallucination, hope not because I fully intend to watch it one o' these days) and it started with dude reading murder mysteries to his flock of sheep.

I literally LOL'd. Much guffawing. And so now, a faux reblog.

For the record, Jenny is reading these guys Beauty and the Beast, but still...

[quinndominion]

HEEEERE'S PENNY!!!

(I know, wrong Stephen King movie. Don't care, lol.)

If a certain hormonally hyped up Hatfield insists on calling Pennywise Penny Weiss "IT-Face" it's only fair that one or both of these faces haunts his dreams...

(I've lost the thread of how I wanted to proceed now that the rest of "Saturday" is its own chapter and not part of Part 3. But I still had a few spare minutes, so I did this instead.)

(Oh, and that link, if anyone notices, is just to Part 2 which inspired my nonsense, but mostly it's there to remind me that one of the 'Entrance of the Gladiators' links in the chapter is DOA now and I need to find a replacement.)

[quinndominion]

(random drive by post)

When I crop this one it's kind of perfect to go up on the wall amidst their modest collection of family photos. Of course, there is no conceivable in-game justification for anyone having taken this photo. Not that that's ever really stopped me before...

[quinndominion]

It's always felt a bit weird to 'advertise' to tumblr that I (Quinn...who?) have posted a new chapter. Especially now.

So, here: Have a cow. Moo.

[quinndominion]

Wanna sip?

[episims]

I love my attached lots 🤷 so the market hall got this little extension with a jazz club. Fancier indoors than it appears from the outside!

These builds are on different lots, but you know how the sims 2 lot imposters are. I cheated a little with the first picture and photoshopped together two screenshots taken from the same angle.

[quinndominion]

Wow.

Y'all don't know how much this looks like the one in my head (only better), the jazz club I have been refusing to build myself for literal years now because 1)I'm not a builder, 2)I don't need it yet, and 3)I keep (not even lowkey, lol) hoping someone will upload something I can use instead. But this really is lovely!

(So if when I finally get to that scene however many years hence and it looks suspiciously similar...welp, here's the 'simspiration')

Kine Sunrise Ritual 🐮☀️ The Sims 2 PSP (2005)

[quinndominion]

I was going to post this pic earlier today when I found it in with the discards because, while similar to the one I did go with, Skye's face here is giving peak ambiguity. It can be read a bunch of different ways, which is on theme for the next chapter (why I noticed) but wasn't so much for Part 2.

Not the point, not remotely the point. The point is that after all this time I have only just noticed that while the mismatched chairs are as they should be (because they're different meshes)...

...the tables silently reasserted their uniformity when I wasn't looking. The nerve! I remember I definitely loaded up without all the right recolours and repositoried meshes at some point. (Test hoods are for testing, not storytelling!! Lesson learned.) Curtains went missing and I very nearly used one of those pics to head up the chapter (but that particular ramble has been sitting in my drafts for a year and a half and it can stay there). Who knows what else I just didn't pick up on 😩

Caught the curtains, completely missed the tables. That's annoying. Especially as I've become aware of it before I'm done with the next one. My plan is to act like I don't see it, but I suspect my brain will still ruthlessly prune out the 'wrong table' ones for one reason or another.

And, yup, wrong tables in that chapter's header, too. Maybe I'll change it to this one, lol.

(Me too, girl, me too.)

[quinndominion]

This has got to be one of the most boring sims pics ever taken but it always makes me kinda giddy being out in the tall grass and uncultivated spaces of "as yet unincorporated" Widespot. Probably because most of it will be gone by the time I return to Widespot of the present day where both Rich and Daytona have left their marks on the landscape.

For context (maybe?) I'm on a lot pushed back way behind the Lands' house, which can be just about made out, if you know what you're looking for/looking at, in this pic. It's where the Hatfields hunt and I've earmarked it for at least one other scene.

But I've only just realised that I made it a community lot for gameplay reasons whereas for scene-staging it'll be much easier if It's residential. Which is why I'm here, to change the zoning.

I'm not sure if I want to be way out here for the scene I need now or closer to the trail, over here:

It's too awkward to try to find somewhere nearby to plop down another lot in order to LotAdjust it into position. I still stick with my familiar ol' SimPE but I wonder if with the newer version's road editor it'll be easy enough to just add a road, plop a lot, and remove the road? ...As I'm saying this I'm trying it out now, so I should probably shut down my game so I can save and see what happens...

[quinndominion]

@quinndominion no worries. by any chance are they available for download? if not it's fine. Just been looking everywhere for a parking gate

@simplysimmingxo It wasn't up for download, but if you want it here it goes:

I forgot that was in the picture when I first replied but I think this is what you wanted, right? Not the Plumbob Pictures studio gate. Uploaded my original file because I definitely futzed with that thing to set a scene (partially) inside it. This one should be fine, though.

Also, there was some cyclonesue stuff that might be even more to the point of what you're looking for.

I probably do have better pics but I can't try to find them, sorry. There is officially a decade's worth of backlog to slog through (and I will, but not til June...if anyone else happens to see this)(It will take all 3 months of summer, but that is the goal. 10 years is just ABSURD!!)

Mine are hood deco, but a quick search for CycloneSue stuff will probably turn up buy mode versions or other cool things you didn't know you needed (even the old TS2 sets are still staples in my downloads folder.)

(And just in case I still read it wrong, here's the studio gate, too. )

(The wall I seem to have reshaped from how it was extracted but it's still just too huge to inflict on any unsuspecting simmer.)

[quinndominion]

Also, also...it was easier to make a similar pose myself in Milkshape than struggling to recreate the pose for that picture.

Literally less than 5 minutes. It occurred to me while typing up the last post. Including extracting and putting the Nelson face on it for comparison. SMH. I'm hopeless.

Perfect? No. But tweakable.

[quinndominion]

Also (she says nearly a whole day later), um, what the hell is going on with the transparency on the toolbelt? I have been all up in the TXMT and I cannot figure out why it's doing this...but it's been a long time. I could be overlooking something obvious?? (No, it's not got Blend Mode on. Not quite that obvious, but other suggestions welcome!!)

I remember there being an issue at first and I remember fixing it. This is a copy of a copy test hood I'm in, but a quick search through my files shows the same dates for all of them.

I moved his location in case it was just some weirdness overlapping with the background. Took off the original colour, reloaded Change Appearance and popped on another. Still stupid.

And it's not like that in Create-a-Sim.

So, what the hell?

What the hell, Nelson?

Maybe he and his cc will magically behave when it's time for his scenes.
