Bass-Ackward Simmer

A place where I come and post stuff. Mostly sims stuff. Occasional food porn stuff, occasional sim porn stuff. "NSFW" posts are tagged for easy avoidance.

(Thanks for the ask, @sincerelyasimmer!)

Last song: “Tomorrow” by Quincy Jones/Tevin Campbell. I’ve known this song since I was eleven and never knew what it was called until I saw a tribute post for Mr. Jones’s death. 😢

Favorite color: Peacock Blue

Last movie: Elemental 🔥🌊

Last book: The Dusk of Eternal Night. It’s just as unsettling as it sounds.

Sweet/spicy/savoury: sweet/savoury

Current obsession: A lychee plant that is slowly growing from seed in a pot in my garage. I have no idea what I’m doing, I consider myself lucky that the thing is actually alive. These plants take quite some time to grow and begin fruiting around year 10, so I have a long time to get this completely wrong. 😰

Last Googled: “What schedule of drug is methamphetamine?” (it’s schedule four in Florida, btw—minimum 3rd felony to possess/use)

Looking forward to: getting a Mini Cooper in the next two years. I have absolutely no idea why it has to be this car, but it must be. 🚗

Stay hydrated, Tumblr! … and then, get caffeinated ☕️

Hello!! I hope this message finds you well. I was wondering where can your NSFW poses be downloaded? I’ve seen it referenced on one blog but cant seem to find a working link. Any info is greatly appreciated, thank you so much.

Hi Nonny! If you can’t find my poses on Sexy Sims anymore, just drop me a line off anonymous or send me a direct message, and I will be glad to give you a direct upload. <3

Me: Alright, game, I need you to load for a grand total of three minutes while I take this photo. Do you think you can do that with wasting the better part of a 8-hour day? Sims 3: BITCH FOR REAL DO YOU EVEN KNOW ME

[spladoum]

This is how you know you’re stuck with Sims 3 for life--you don’t let little things like 10 successive crashes and 8 hours of lost time stop you from getting two photos.

Testing ... testing ... My long-term war with Blender continues on. I think I’m losing :-\

Here’s another cocktail that I found on the Internet when I was looking for something to do with an excess of key limes on my counter. The ingredients picture is of the recipe after I tweaked it, because I found the recipe as originally written to be overly sweet. I will post both, though, so that you can decide for yourself which one suits your palate.

Key Lime Caipirinha (as originally posted on Noble Pig):

10-12 key limes 

1 3/4 oz cachaça rum

1 oz agave nectar

Splad’s “Mommy’s Half-Hour Off” Caipirinha

2 Persian limes

1 1/2 oz cachaça rum

1 1/4 oz agave nectar

Soda water

Squeeze enough limes to produce between 1 1/2 oz-2 oz. of juice. Add the rum and agave nectar; stir or shake until blended. Serve over crushed ice, add soda water if desired. Garnish with lime wheel or wedge.

[Author’s notes: your mileage will definitely vary with making this drink depending on the ingredients you use. Persian limes are much more bitter than key limes, and the flavor profile of the drink will change dramatically depending on what kind of cachaça you incorporate. The first type I used (Agua Luca) is so smoky that it literally smells burned. The second one (Leblon) smells a lot more like bananas. Understandably, that might not be desirable depending on your taste. XD]

Well, I did promise that at some point I would come back to Tumblr and post things. Unfortunately, that means you get to see pictures of my cocktails right now. No Sims yet 😅 Cherry Fizz

4-5 cherries

1 1/2 oz gin, vodka, or whiskey

1/2 oz lime juice

1 oz simple syrup (optional if you’re not fond of sweet)

Angostura bitters

Mint leaves

Soda water

Cut the cherries in half and remove the pits. Muddle cherries, mint, lime juice and simple syrup in a glass. (Creme de Menthe can replace fresh mint if you don’t have it; just use 1/4 oz or less). Add the vodka/gin/whiskey and two splashes of bitters; stir. Fill glass with crushed ice and top with soda water. Garnish with cherry and mint sprig. Enjoy! :)

Hey there Splad! I don't know how often you check your tumblr these days, but I've been going through old Sims stories out of nostalgia today and stumbled back into RatRaceRob's and your stories of the Frios and Simanskis. Idk if Rob is still around but I remembered that you had a tumbr and decided to stop on by just to say thank you for all the wonderful stories you've told. They really influenced me when I read them back in 2011-2012. They will always be near and dear to my heart. Best wishes!

Awww, nonny! Thank you so much for the sweet note. ;_; I am sadly not nearly as active as I would like to be (blame it on the baby!) though I hope every day that that situation might change. I still have storylines knocking around my head that very much want to come out, so as soon as my son is old enough to NOT tear up the house while I’m not looking, I intend to come back to storytelling, if only in a more limited way. :P

I also miss RatRaceRob. The last time I had active contact with him was sometime in 2014 or 2015. He had a lot going on in his life at the time that I sent him my last email, so I tried to respect his space and unfortunately we lost contact. But I figure he’s one of those friends whose path will meet up with mine again one day and it’ll be like we never stopped talking at all. :)

[spladoum]

hi i would like to contsct you i have some of your poses but will like to delete em off game (no ofense) since my mother is cheking on it but cant find it thnx in advance

Hi, Nonny! I’m not offended in the least, don’t you worry about that. :] Just let me know what poses of mine you’re looking for, and I’ll be glad to send them your way or show you where to get them again.

Still alive ...

This is the first time in over a year I’ve tried on any of my semi-formal wear and it was depressing, to say the least. Most of my dresses took one look at my current boobs and immediately ran for the hills. My butt scared off most of the others. I had three dresses that still fit, but it’s not good form to show your rack at a funeral, or so I’m told. My munchkin is making that face because he’s wondering how he’s going to get any lunch from mommy in that dress. (Spoiler alert: he’s not.)

I’ve been asked to sing at this ceremony, so hopefully I don’t embarrass myself and the baby doesn’t embarrass me. Ah, motherhood!

[spladoum]

Every time I think I’m becoming a bit more mature and a bit more of an adult ... something like this shows up to show me “Oh no you ain’t”

My doctor’s office has already started using Christmas instrumental songs as their hold music -_____-;;;;;

Mei meets his gaze and gives him a smile. After a few moments she feels his eyes slide down her body. They don’t rise again. “It’s simple enough, Mr. Urquhart. I have a friend who owes me a favor. He used to come to the Pony, now he comes here.” “I never met a stripper who’d take a guaranteed pay cut for a favor. You’re up to something, but you ain’t the first one to play this game. Knock yourself out, but whatever this shit is leading up to, keep it out of here. You might be one of the best dancers to ever be on that stage, but I don’t like cops sniffing around my business. One whiff of trouble outta you and you’re last week’s news. Got me?” Mei smirks. “Yes, sir.” “Good. Come back Tuesday night. 6 pm sharp, don’t be late.”

[spladoum]

“I’ve seen enough.” Mr. Urquhart finally turns off his laptop. Mei finally releases the breath that she didn’t know she’d been holding in. She unbends her body from the pole. “Okay.” “You’re one hell of a dancer, sweetheart. And I get the feeling that’s not all you are, either. I got a question for you before I bring you on.” “What is it?” “You say you’re taking a sabbatical from the Pink Pony. That’s the top of the ladder in these parts, it don’t get better than the Pony. So why would someone like you--a damned good dancer and capable of working in a joint where you’ll go home with §2000 cash on a slow night--want to work somewhere like here?”
