hello! what reshade do you use?

hi there! (this is such a criminally late response, but i thought it would still have some merit in me to answer omg, so incredibly sorry for it 😭). but anyway, i actually don’t use reshade! all i use are my own custom settings on ts4′s game graphics and uncompressed textures in screenshot capture!

but if you have any other questions about screenies, editing, or whatever, you’re welcome to message/ask, of course!!

hope you are doing well and thank you for taking the time to send in an ask! 💛

“a brownie a day keeps the...bad brownie-less people away?”

[simlightened]

after these tough few weeks with the other pesterous kids, tristan’s good friend, heath, decided to come over to give him more comfort, quality time, and support. since being promoted in the business career, paz decided to take the day off and bake the boys some brownies for this relaxing day ♡

“an update on the spares”: reyna

after her best friend, amber, moved out of their apartment to start a family, reyna became a renowned scientist and has been known to be one of the most innovative ones of her sim generation. she was nominated for an award for her amazing work, but didn’t want the fame, extraneous fortune, or artifice of the spotlight for something she thought the world needed anyway. reyna is also a single mother of her daughter, rosalind. she had a brief fling with alexander goth, resulting in her pregnancy, but due to being unflirty, she didn’t feel equipped to continue a romantic relationship. however, her and alexander remain on good terms as platonic co-parents/friends and she lets ros go and see her father whenever she pleases. for awhile, reyna and ros lived in the same apartment alongside their two cats, auri and helix. then, after adeline and emilio passed, reyna decided to move back into her childhood home and look after biscuit and cocoa, the old family dogs, as a respective honoring to her parents and to show rosalind some of her heritage.

12, 66, 92 :)

12. what’s your favorite planet?

omg omg, it’s always been neptune! whenever i had school projects on space, neptune was my forever-pick—she my ride-or-die, b. 💙🤪

66. what would your ideal flower crown look like?

ooh, this is a lovely one! (also, if anyone likes plants/flowers, they totally need to watch the big flower fight on netflix). but anyway, i would use peonies, baby’s breath, lavender, and ivies.

92. are you a person who drowns their pasta in cheese or a person who barely sprinkles a pinch?

just a warning: the answer to this one might be a bit odd. now, i’m not usually accustomed to adding “shaky cheese” to pastas; so technically, no. however, if having mozzarella in its melty block form is an option (like in chicken parmesan or the tops of pasta bowls), mfffff, i go to townnnn.

sim blogpost idea? 🦋💘

hi, again!

i just had this idea last night (and i’m honestly not sure if it’s terrible, mediocre, or amazing) but as many do, legacies usually have a family not only consisting of heirs, but have ‘spares’ (the coined term for non-heirs or siblings) within the generations, too!

now, when i kept going through those phases of not being able to play my game, it got me thinking: i kinda miss the spares of my legacy!

there is a strong variance of what simmers do with the siblings left after they have selected their heir for whatever generation. but usually, you don’t know too much about them because of it. for me, personally, i like to check on them once in awhile and make sure they aren’t abandoned and have somewhat meaningful lives.

so, i was thinking of doing a little thing i may call ‘a showcase of the spares’

my test/post of this would be updating on paz’s older siblings, jared and reyna! i’m thinking a couple pics each and a description of what has majorly happened to them since the start of this generation of the legacy!

so, let me know what you think...!? hope y’all are having a great weekend, too!

paz called the jacobsens. she spurned calvin’s mom, colette, for his bullying towards tristan. though, colette seemed to be just as surprised as she was, and apologized for his behavior.

[simlightened]

paz gave her son a hug and sent him off to bed for the night. then, it was suddenly time for her mama bear instincts to activate.

[simlightened]

back at home, tristan told paz what had happened and she was very, very concerned for him.

[simlightened]

tristan ‘lost’ the fight against calvin. from it, he was undeniably upset and tried to get some sort of consolation from elijah, but it appeared he was very unaware as to know how to give such support.

[simlightened]

a fight broke out between the boys! in the background — the poor boy, elijah wasn’t sure what to do at all! :-0

[simlightened]

oh, this doesn’t look good. . .
