Hi! Do you know of any systems that would work for playing a game of "Suburbs and SUVS"? I really wanna roleplay a suburban mom named Karen.
Assuming you’re going with the “awful people doing awful things to each other” interpretation of the genre (and with a lead-in like that, I can’t imagine you aren’t!), you could probably knock together a Skulduggery playset easily enough. It has a couple of features that make it well-suited for a game about warring soccer dads and PTA moms:
1. Not only does it have a full-featured social combat sytem (which is, in fact, the primary combat system – actual physical fights are considered an optional rule), it has a literal type matchup grid for different argumentative styles; for example, Glib trumps Pure-Hearted, but is trumped by Obtuse, while Charming trumps Wary, but is trumped by Contrary, and so forth.
2. The game enforces awfulness by having each playset define a set of temptations to which player chartacters are prey, with each player character being ranked according to their resistance to that temptation; whenever the oportunity to indulge it arises, a resistance roll is called for. For example, if the playset defined “Pedantry” as one of its temptations, whenever the opportunity to nitpick arose, player characters would have to make a literal saving throw to resist the urge to go “well, ACTUALLY…”.
In fact, I’m going to go you one better than a recommendation – I’m going to call a brainstorming session. Another of Skulduggery’s key features is its use of taglines for resource management. In a nutshell, each player is randomly assigned a set of 2–3 bits of dialogue at the start of play, and in order to replenish their resources, they need to find excuses to deploy their taglines in situationally appropriate ways. For example, if you’re using a playset about over-intellectual pirates trying to elect a new captain (one of the included examples), you might hand out taglines like these:
“That was brave and magnificent – two qualities I loathe.“
“Rest assured that I betray my friends only after prolonged consideration.“
“On a tangential note, my gleaming cutlass hungers for blood.”
… while if you were using a playset about Congressional representatives trying to get their nominee for Secretary of State confirmed while avoiding mention of that little cannibalism incident (also an included example), you might distribute taglines like these:
“I used to believe that, when I was young and drunk.“
“If Washington is Hollywood for ugly, you’re a superstar.”
“Let me interrupt you right there. I don’t have anything to say, I just want to interrupt.”
So, folks, if y’all are game: let’s help the OP brainstorm suitable taglines for a “Suburbs and SUVS”playset. How ‘bout it?
(Taglines that imply the existence of particular characters and events – e.g., an incident involving the speaker’s alleged soccer prodigy – are fine, but no specific names or places. Gotta keep things flexible!)
Out of idle curiosity, how many files are in your hair to do folder? And what would you do if you ran out? ;0
Hi! I currently have 21 hairs there (I always add the number to the tags of the request asks, so you can check the status!). If it runs out, I’m going to retexture random hairs that I like, but considering, it wasn’t empty in the past… 3 or so years, I think it’s quite unlikely XD
Thank you so much to everyone who left me birthday well-wishes. I had a nice day, received some presents, and went out for supper. All in all, a good birthday. :) Some replies below the cut...

I won't exit without saving anymore either, even if it's a sim I really love. What's the point of asking for a more exciting/dramatic game and then ignoring the things the game throws at you. Poor John though, I was enjoying what you were doing with him

You could turn it into a kick ass murder mystery, if you wanted.

I guess Edward will have to figure out his son the old-fashioned way.

It happens to the best of us. I had this happen with TWO key players in my PV as well. :(

I made a rule for myself a while ago that I was going to stop having sims plead with the reaper and actually let sims die, but I admit I’m kind of bummed this happened so early, before I’d even finished John’s first round!
It’s definitely given me some story ideas, though. Also, the Contrarys all rolled some QUESTIONABLE wants when I loaded their house...

It’s been a long time coming, I can’t wait to get them moved in officially

Wow, no kidding!
I love it so much, Kate and Darren are definitely the type of people to host regular family dinners <3

Lol i love this
Yeah she is definitely a discerning toddler. I’ve had toddlers set to visit that lot since the start and they’ve always just played with the toys before ha ha

Your business looks amazing with the art and model houses!
Wow, thank you so much <3
glitchesplaysthesims reblogged your photoset and added:
What adorable faces!
deedee-sims replied to your photoset “I made these two sisters, Farah and Elise Kramer, and I love them...”
They're so pretty!
I fell in love with them immediately. I was just making sims to be downtownies and now I’m kind of sad that they’re just going to be townies, but I’ll enjoy seeing them show up in the backgrounds
deedee-sims replied to your photoset “And here’s the wedding store. Downstairs has shoes, suits and...”
OMG!!! *.*
Thank you, it was your mannequins and your mannequin tutorial that gave me the push to make it :D
Do you have particular traits in mind for the Winterose sims? Or is that too spoilery?
I do, but I feel leaving it up to the player is a better decision. I have a very specific vision, but every player will of course interpret it differently and have their own read on things, that’s the beauty of it! :D
