I've Lost 2 Save File Builds in 1 Year....

Ask me anything!

I'M CRYING....

The trauma of being whispered to that he's an awful person for 400 years because of one mistake. He thinks Rumi's going to hate him when she finds out that he abandoned his family (but if that's true then why did he bring them to the palace?) and he couldn't stand that. So better he hurt her now so that Gwi-ma is happy with him and he can have the memories of betraying Rumi & his family erased (evidenced by the scene where he thinks of her & his family when asked by Gwi-ma if he's ready to forget everything). We also have to take into consideration of if he was invited to the palace by the King. 400 years ago refusing the King's invitation wouldn't be possible…. even if the palace shut your family, that you brought with you, out. Additionally, it should be noted that many people leave their families behind to seek a better life. Many times they do so with the thought that they can send financial help to their families back home, only to find out that they won't make enough money to do so. It's very possible that Jinu thought he might be able to send them money, only to find out that the King would only be providing room & board.

There's also a theory about the other Saja boys that brings a sharper focus into Jinu's tragic backstory and how Gwi-ma turned his first wish, to no longer be suffering starvation, on him…. Which makes you think about how this new promise of forgetting the memory of his family and Rumi would be turned on him if he hadn't saved her.

That theory is that the photo on the wall of the charlatan healer's office that Rumi was looking at is the demon boys when they were human (excluding Jinu, because he was sucked into the demon realm 400 years ago). People think that they were an unsuccessful boyband and they each sold their soul to Gwi-ma. Mystery was promised anonymity after being stalked by crazy fans but is now the least favourite member, Romance was promised to be loved unconditionally because he had a reserved personality that made him seem cold but now he only experiences the shallow love of fans, Baby was hypersexualized by fans and was promised to never be sexualized and is now infantilized, and finally Abby had body dysmorphia and was promised the perfect body but now is only wanted for his body.

Jinu was promised to be rid of the starvation of hunger and was given the starvation of peace. He was promised a beautiful voice but was given the never-ending screams of his family and voices in his head telling him he's a terrible person. KPop Demon Hunters is not a comedy. It's a tragedy packaged in hope for a better future. And he gave up that hope for her. He had a guarantee of peace from the voices in his head, and he chose the unknown instead to save her life.

They didn't have enough time. They deserved to be free together... and my heart is absolutely broken.

When this is the first co-worker you lay eyes on... 😍 So of course Zoi Wonyoung had to get to know him! And they hit it off like CRAZY! This the first relationship in the game that I've had go this fast. BFF & Colleagues & True Loves within 2 days at work and 1 date.

And they are stupid cute together!! 🥰 Also, I figured out that you can play with the lighting when using the in-game camera. No more night time pictures where you can't really see what's happening! Yay!

First Friend!

Life's a rainy walk in the park!

NMIXX's Know About Me MV on the billboards is EVERYTHING I DIDN'T KNOW I WANTED IN A LIFESIM!

I found Jang Wonyoung on Inzoi and gave her an adorable purple & blue look!

So far I'm loving Inzoi! I'm going to make Wonyoung a KPop star! LOL

"You can tell how much work has gone into [Pleasant Hills]. Your choice of lots is great and they have so much detail it makes the world feel alive and more like the real world. I like the variety in community lots too I think there's a good balance between community and housing lots. There are plenty of empty lots in all price ranges for moving in my own families if I wish. I love that you regularly update to take account of all the mod changes, it's really appreciated and when you change out mods, you explain why you've done so in the spreadsheet, which btw is a feat in itself to keep updated. I love the fact that you actually play in your own savefile and stream/upload to Youtube. There are not many Simmers who do that regularly. All in all, I rarely play in anyone else's file anymore as yours has everything I need/want. I am so glad I found the savefile and you!" - @mrssteepdene

Get more information, the save file, recommended mods list, a rotation tracker, randomizers, and more on the Spreadsheet!

Thank you to everyone who takes the time to check out the save file, likes this post, or reblogs this post! It is my pleasure to bring the enjoyment of Pleasant Hills to you. And I would love to hear how playing Pleasant Hills is going for you, so stay in touch!

Unofficial Pleasant Hills Update!

I haven't announced version updates here in quite some time, mainly due to issues with the game & due to waiting for mod updates. But currently the save file only has 1 mod missing (Zodiacs), so now is the next-to-best time to play it! So, that is why this release is unofficial.

The Cliff Notes: - Sims 2 to Sims 4 - 55+ fully fleshed out sims using custom CAS & reward traits - 191 clubs - MOD READY for a bunch of stuff - Endless surprises and goodies - Rotation tracker, mod tracker, etc

Real announcement post coming soon! Download HERE!

[sims2squared]

Mods List Updated

Culled about 30 mods, and have changed my game speed to be about 1/4 slower (37 in mccc). I have had a significant improvement to my simulation lag as a result! But there's still a good number of new mods on the list because I can't help myself.

(Lucy Burb ugly crying is me sorting through all my mods the other day. Put a few mods in, open sims 4, test, close sims 4... repeat about a billion times. Took over 7 hours.) You can get the mods list on the Pleasant Hills spreadsheet. P.S. I am still streaming Pleasant Hills (Pleasantview sims edition) on my Twitch on Tues/Thurs @ 2pm EDT, and you can catch up on my YouTube channel. We're just over halfway through rotation 4! Lots of screenshots from the LP and other good stuff on my discord.

[sims2squared]

Mods List Updated

The list of the mods that I'm using has been updated! Took me a little longer than usual to get around to it... I was sick for about a week and just didn't feel like it. Better late than never! There's some nifty new mods on there! I love finding obscure/new mods that include fun gameplay. See my mods list on the Pleasant Hills spreadsheet.

???

I opened the spreadsheet for the Pleasant Hills download today... and... I must have been sleep typing or something at some point. There was a bunch of gibberish about Stardew Valley there that was copied and pasted repeatedly over the title & requirements info. Really, I have no memory whatsoever of doing this. And it's been like that for... like 12 days. What the actual F. Anyway, fixed now.

[sims2squared]

I Still Exist!

Just been busy / ignoring social media in favour of actually playing Sims 4 (and some Stardew Valley). This may end up having to just be a place where I put a note when there is an actual update to the save Pleasant Hills save file. Which I worked on one day a couple weeks ago, but then spring cleaning season started and I had to seriously think about getting around to doing that, so working on the save file is back on the back burner for another week or so. I also need to find good tv to watch while doing it because visiting every lot and adding lot traits is supremely boring. I am still streaming Pleasant Hills a couple of times of week! Currently it's Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2pm EDT. Only streaming the rotational save; the legacy save is on permeant hiatus for my own sanity. I pop the episodes onto YouTube right away and then forget to make them public for 12-24 hours. You'll be happy to know I have acquired minor fame. I have ONE regular viewer now, and it's not my sister. :o So I am sure I will be quitting my job any minute now. lol I was also somehow talked into making a discord. There are 5 people on there who are not me. I am both astounded by that and actively choosing to believe they are people and not bots.

Anyway, that concludes this post. And to think, if I hadn't just accidently opened Tumblr 10 minutes ago....

[sims2squared]

Slacking... lol

I've been slacking off on tumblr & twitter (both posting & reading) since I started streaming again. I think it comes down to rebuilding the family trees for both my personal playthrough and the streamed playthrough. Oh, and because I've been having fun building a few KPop playlists. I can only do so much multi-tasking while playing too... I figure I'll just catch up on posts once I've caught up on rebuilding the trees.
