LILAC: Welcome to the second edition of gardenside chats, where we are explaining how the introductory round works. Araminta, how does it work?
ARAMINTA: Firstly the good news, no one is going home at the end of this! This is purely a chance to get to know each contestant. Everyone will have three in-game hours on a lot together with Lilac and me, and after a FRIENDLY INTRODUCTION from both of us, full autonomy will be active.
LILAC: Full autonomy, huh?
ARAMINTA: Yes. They won’t be able to leave the lot until the time period has concluded, but that will be it.
LILAC: So how is this going to work?
ARAMINTA: Well with us to demonstrate, we have local business owner Sara Scott! Sara - hi!
SARA: Hi! What’s this First Impressions thing all about?
ARAMINTA: First Impressions is a mod by Lumpinou and we’ll be using the timed decay version, since first impressions do fade. Now with your permission the Watcher is going to delete your relationship bar with both me and Lilac - don’t worry, she’ll restore it back to our previous levels - to demonstrate.
SARA: Will it hurt?
ARAMINTA: Oh no! You'll be fine.
LILAC: And while Araminta does have the POLITE INTRODUCTION interaction unlocked through her GOOD MANNERS trait, we’ll be using the FRIENDLY INTRODUCTION for everyone - for fairness and because the POLITE INTRODUCTION can be overpowered.
ARAMINTA: Lilac, you’re up first.
LILAC: Okay, so Sarah and I both have AMAZING COMPATIBILITY - nice to keep the local bartender on your good side. I thought that she was an interesting sim-
SARA: Why, thank you!
LILAC: -while she thought that I was a nature maniac, which is a negative sentiment. Boooo!
SARA: I’m so sorry!
LILAC: You’re fine, I’m just messing with you. Now with Araminta you also have AMAZING COMPATIBILITY, she thinks that you’re fun to be around, and you think that she’s strong-minded.
ARAMINTA: Really? That surprised me.
SARA: Well you did go off and compete on that deserted island. And you need a lot of discipline in equestrian sports. Lilac, I really have no idea why I thought that your FREEGAN trait was a bad thing - I did move out to the countryside after all!
LILAC: And none of your traits seem to conflict with it. Minta, say if we had BAD COMPATIBILITY, a negative first impression each and Sara was madly in love with me…
SARA: Then I’d have to talk to my husband.
LILAC: … would that be the end of the line for Sara?
ARAMINTA: Well, no. First impressions are just that - initial impressions. Tempest initially thought that Dodo was annoying and they had NEUTRAL COMPATIBILITY, and she ended up being one of the strongest contestants.
LILAC: Likewise he thought that Lucian was in dreamland and I think we were all in love with him a little by the end of the show. 'In dreamland,' you could say.
ARAMINTA: Truly one of the most genuine and kind pixels I’ve ever had the good fortune to meet.
ARAMINTA: Also since traits like GOOD versus EVIL and ACTIVE versus LAZY appear to be weighted the same by the gameplay mechanics - even though to me the second one is purely a lifestyle choice rather than a morality issue - you can get someone like Daisy Darling. Who for example had positive relationships with most of her housemates, but BAD COMPATIBILITY due to what I assume was her LAZY trait clashing with the amount of ACTIVE and LOVES OUTDOORS types that the competition naturally drew.
LILAC: Yes but because she wasn’t a MEAN or EVIL Sim, she managed to get those relationships no problem. So what Minta’s saying is that if you get a good score from the introductory round, cool. But don’t count yourself out if you don’t. So, looking at our friend Sara. If she were a contestant on Simply Lilac, what would her introductory round scores be?
ARAMINTA: Well friendship with you is 40, no romance bar, six points for AMAZING COMPATIBILITY, and another five for one positive first impressions sentiment. So all together, 51 points.
LILAC: And you?
ARAMINTA: 28 points, no romance bar, add another six for AMAZING COMPATIBILITY, and 10 points in total for each positive sentiment. Which brings us to 44 points!
LILAC: Ladies and gentlefolks, do we already have a contender?
SARA: (chuckles) Scott may have something to say about that! Oh, obviously Lilac is the priority here, but any bonuses at all for a high score with you, Minta?
ARAMINTA: The contestants who I have the highest level of friendship with, will get a small bonus at the end of the round. Not in terms of spending more time with Lilac, since our friendship has nothing to do with their relationship with her. But it will definitely give them a slight advantage in terms of the rest of the competition.
SARA: I can’t wait to learn more. Also Minta, do bring that Tarzan of yours down to the village square sometime, will you? It’s a rite of passage for all the new swains to get acquainted with Agnes’ purse.
LILAC: Oh, I can’t wait for this…
ARAMINTA: Poor Dodo (chuckles, then checks notes). Now for woo-hoo…
LILAC: Yes.
ARAMINTA: During this introductory round, the Watcher will be cancelling all ‘Ask For Sex’ interactions-
LILAC: No!
ARAMINTA: Her reasoning is that Wicked Whims seems to go a little insane during the initial days of gameplay-
LILAC: Like when you booty call the bachelor’s identical twin
ARAMINTA: -by mistake. And so she’s giving it time to settle. However, each ‘ask for sex’ interaction will also gain an additional five points. This will be the only time that woo-hoo counts for points, as it will be allowed for the rest of gameplay, and friendship and romance increase naturally through that interaction.
LILAC: (drily) Unless it’s bad woo-hoo. What if the ‘ask for sex’ interaction is directed at you?
ARAMINTA: No points lost nor gained. Likewise denied - and hopefully Dodo is not nearby.
LILAC: Yeah, starting the competition with a black eye will probably not make a great first impression. So there we have it. Everyone, see you next time where hopefully the Watcher wasn't a total flake and managed to fill out that First Impressions post!
hope your sims' ears weren't burning too much: @panicsimss @jonquilyst and @mdshh. lot by @ariafaeyt. dodo harper by @akitasimblr

LILAC: Now, is there any of that 'grape juice' left? Also Watcher, what is this shit? Are we Marvel Studios? Is Stan Lee going to make a cameo...
Just want to throw this out into the universe in case someone needs to hear this.
There is nothing wrong with you. I don't care who you love, how you look, what you wear. Your facial features are perfect, fuck what society says. Fuck what the media says. Live your life. Life is so short, please don't waste it trying to fit into some shitty mold that people/media/society tries to put you in.
As long as you're not hurting others, do whatever makes you happy.

I’ve been searching for a mod that overrides default babies because the ea version made them look like little gremlins, so here I have created a mod that overrides default babies and make them cuter with hair as well! credit goes to Chisami, but they haven’t updated their baby skins in a long time so I made my version and edited the skin detail so it looks more of a maxis match baby.
default replacements
pick out onesies here (only have one each gender)

what a surprise, i'm back with more wall art cc lmao. honestly i have no idea what prompted me to draw yamachan holding pride flags but it seemed like a good idea at 2am sdfghgfds. anyway i decided to whack them on some posters and share them with you!
also, i'm sharing transparent pngs of each yamachan design - feel free to use them however you want! all i ask is that you give credit where it's due and don't upload to any other sites lmao. here's a lil preview of them all:
BGC posters featuring yamachan holding different pride flags
Pride flags included: rainbow, bi, trans, (sunset) lesbian, ace, aro, intersex, pan, genderfluid, and non-binary. if u have any other flag requests let me know though and i'll do it no problem!
Each pride variant has two swatches - one with a colourful gradient background, one with a plain black background
I think that's it lmao? like i said, feel free to use the designs for cc-making purposes, just please don't reupload them elsewhere (and if you do make cc with them, do NOT paywall it) :) let me know if there's any issues, and I hope you enjoy!
