I am surprised at the recent influx of followers and realize I need to cross post some of my older creations that have been exclusively hosted at The Plumb Bob Keep. I only have a few large mods, but I am particularly proud of them even if it took forever and a day to finish and share them.
I’ll start with my Default Replacement Speech Icons... I play a Historical Fantasy styled game, so hopefully some of you will find these to your taste.
Many moons ago, I stumbled onto the Icons page of the UESP- Elder Scrolls Online, and I knew our Sims were longing for new topics of interest and conversation. I give you...
Babble Bubbles - These are a mix of mostly ESO and other Elder Scrolls Game Icons, with some Sims Medieval, Sims 3, & a Handful of Random Clip Art thrown in to complete the topic chains.
Base Game Interests:
Animals - Horse, Bird, Fish, Rat, Bug
Crime - Stocks, Shackled Wrist, Lockpicks, Lock, Red Hand. Thieves may be "Caught Red Handed" or perhaps it's Blood.
Culture - These are straight out of TES and might not jive with everyone, but we have:
Falkreath, Bruma, Morthal, Stormcloaks, Riften [edited].
But they could be:
Pagans, Romans, Celts, Vikings, Britons.
Entertainment - Masquerade Mask, Maypole, Lute, Fanfare Trumpet, Stein.
Food - Wine, Cabbage/Lettuce, Pot Pie, Fish, Bread.
Because there are so many different food related topics (FT & AL), I wanted this topic to reflect everyday/common foods.
Politics - The Royal Scepter, Silver Crown, Chalice/Grail, Broken Crown, Golden Crown.
My idea behind the Broken Crown was to signify a Corrupt or Dead Monarch, great for Stories, yes?
Sports - Blue Flag, Gold Star, Broken Shield, Winner's Tokens, Green Flag.
Because there are so many different sports related topics (FT & AL), I wanted this topic to reflect tournaments or competitions. The 2 flags, one for either "team", the Gold Star signifying a winner, the Broken Shield depicting the looser, and the Tokens representing bets placed.
Cuisine - Empty Pot, Soup Bowl, Spoon Of Spice, Crock, Pan
For the second food related topic, I used icons leaning more toward the cooking aspect.
Film & Literature - Wax Seal, Envelope, Letter, Inkwell, Book.
Since my game is pre-electricity aspects of film haven’t been included.
Fitness - Fresh Air, Citrus [Vitamin C], Soap, Radish [Veggies], Moon & Star Icon [Spirituality]
I went with the idea of Health and Well Being for this topic.
Games - Fox & Geese, Dice, Chess, Horseshoe, Tafl.
Music & Dance - Lute, Dancing Lady, Instruments, Dancing Lady 2, Skyrim Lute.
I’ve never been completely satisfied with this one, I might revisit in the near future.
Nature - Beat, Carrot, Grapes, Leak, Berries.
This Hobby led me to think more in the direction of Farming or Gathering.
Science - Jar Of Powder, Alchemist's Stone, Potion, Ambelic, Vial.
Sports - Sword & Shield, Mace, Yellow Flag, Bow, Dagger.
This is the second Sports Topic for our Sims; I went with a combat training idea here.
Tinkering - Blacksmith Tools, Carpentry Tools, Architect Tools, Farming Tools, Sculpting Tools.
I went with a combo of different craft skills with this hobby.
Apartment Life Stories:
Art Story - Bohemians; Black Salt, Vine, Rune Stone, Teeth Talisman, Magic Potion
Computer Story - Techie/Wizards/Witches; Varla Stone, Golden Magic Rune, Mystical Spell Paper, Dwemer Puzzle Piece, Storm Stone.
Fame Story - Socialites/Nobles; Fine Furnishing, Luxury Items, Medal Of Honor, Rise In Status, Money Chest.
Mechanic Story - Gearheads/Smithys. I couldn’t get away from Dwemer tech on this on; Dwemer Gears.
Sports Story - Jock/Knights. What else is Sporting in Ye Olde Times and likely to spark a story? Hunting! Tack, Bow & Quiver, Mounted Deer Head, Horse, Hunting Horn.
AND NOW, the moment you've all been waiting for!!

"I hope to drink so much caffeine that my usual tachycardia gets so bad I have a mini-non-life-theatening heart attack that would make me stay down in the hospital for like 3 days so I can rest."
-Me, a while drinking coffee and eating cheese with my bff
I am so stressed over my Life™ that I had that a dream that was action fulled but the most fulfilling part of it was when I found this little illegal store that sold Quality Cat Food at a cheaper price than the one I usually buy for my beasts, and it made me so happy because???? That's??? Less money I'm expending??? I can pay other urgent things more comfortably??? While still keeping my cats well fed????
Y'all: Shiro's forelock went white because of stress.
Me, an intelectual: They asked him if he had a last wish before they sent him to be experimented with Haggar and he asked for "frosted tips". It went wrong.
