Cozy homestead gameplay on the Grandpa's Grove lot in Pangaea
I've been on a cc shopping spree. This is my CC test house. Am I the only person that has a save just for playing with their new cc? Going to Grandpa's Grove is like going home again. Ryder and Hei Hei just like to tinker and take it slow here. There's a whole lot of nothing happening here. What a great place to relax.
Dragonfish Reloaded
I continue the story of the WaterFireGod, for part 1 click here
(1) Remember the gate, where the humanoid aliens came through?:
(2) It changed a lot after them humanoids arived -
(3) The second invasion started at dawn. It all happened very fast:
Some very mighty guards came through the gate...
(4) ...and them tiny fragile blossoms, that arrived earlier with the humanoids, grew within seconds into all kinds of - plants?! :
(5) At the same time, a second gate opened…
(6) … spitting out some more "visitors"…
(7) … all kinds of pretty agressive fellas!
(8) The whole garden of our little unnamed sim changed into a nightmare.
Well, he called them, and they came, right?
(9) They forced him to sit down and stay put on an alienesh-crystal-stone-stool-thingy…
(10) …and startet talking…
(11) … to their GOD! The WaterFireGod. Our well known dragonfish.
(12) Then they told our little unnamed sim, that they will return to their home planet through that portal, together with their god...
(13) … right after they solved this kind-a-tricky problem, that they just learned about from the little fish - sry, your highness, of course -
(14) Turns out, unfortunatly they can not just kill the sim, and leave with their god, as they intended…
(15) … because their god can not survive without our little unnamed sim, due to the bond that exists between them. This bond must be broken of course. Or else!
(16) (Moment of akward silence)
(17) They startet negotiating. Meanwhile it was bright daylight.
(18) They discussed during the whole day…
(19) …and also the whole next night.
(20) It turned out, there is more to the good old dragonfish than we ever imagined:
When he spits fire unterwater, while living with a sim that he has a very special bond with, the fire sinks down on the ground, and turnes into gold.
And you know what they say about dragons… they protect treasure.
Next time I will tell you:
What kind of bond the sim + the dragonfish do have,
what the sim is doing with all this gold?!,
and what the "Fisch des Grauens*" has to do with all that
ITS YOUR TURN NOW!
I want you to have the option to influence the story. You can choose 1 of these 3 options, what you want me to put into the story next:
No 1 - Someone will die
OR
No 2 - No one will die
OR
No 3 - Something will happen that has to do with owls.
Just write it into the comments until the End of April, then we will wrap it up and count the voices for 1/2/3!
* Please someone tell me how this fish is called in English, I couldn´t figure that out! (the dark-greenish fella living in the ponds of graveyards, killing all other fishes, and that can be used for prolonging live) - Or maybe I´ll just make up a new name for it :-D , you can recognize it anyway by the pictures I will take then.
The mods I used here for the first time:
Asparagus densiflorus, from alex_stanton1983
Lotus Lamp, from 4Sims
Floor-Lamp Skoll, from sim_man123
From @murfeelee :
TW3 Archespore Miniset
Skyrim Blackreach Giant Mushrooms as Outdoor Lights Miniset
AMR Small Plants Group
Junk Pile as Coin Pile
Deniisu_TS4 to TS3 RoM Rug Medallion as Floor Light
Thank you, @murfeelee! Love your stuff since I played the first time with the telvanni-village, and that was on my old computer (meanwhile, this computer I´m using now is pretty old).
I will also continue the 10-things-challange, weeks ago I already picked the items for the next round - but at the moment, I want to finish that alien-story first!
And yes, I still have to finish the sorting of my mod-collection. That has highest priority, not just because I want to continue playing, but also because of this 10-things-challange I started. For both I need a well-sorted, richly filled mod-folder (lol).
Well. The last weekend I spend downloading nearly everything that Murfeelee ever published :-D ! Just the sorting of this murfeelee-collection alone will take a week, or two, or whatever it takes :-D.
I started yesterday evening with the Letter A. Today I will do the B… like in "babysteps". Like in "Baby Yoda as Teddybear", that is the first mod beginning with a "B" in my murfeel-folder.
Just imagine, this green little fella, how well he would have fit in my alien-story, if I would have known this mod a week before.
You all have a good time :-)
Oh NO now I need to do the tagging. I still have NO clue how that really works here on tumblr, although I always watch you other simmers out there, and try to get it.

‘That’s Another Fine Mesh You’ve Got Us Into!’
Okay, does anyone have an explanation for this?
One of us has been testing out some CC they’ve been making, using the Fresco Mesh by Dyokabb at Les Sims Angels.
The only problem is that whereas in their own game, they look like this:
(Yes, that’s over on the Fairy Realm before you ask)
... in your humble narrator’s, all of a sudden anything with this mesh ...
... turns to this when either far away or when taken straight from Build/Buy Mode ...
The strange part is that all paintings using the Fresco Mesh by Dyokabb appear to be affected now, so wondering whether it could be some sort of custom content clash, or a game setting peculiar to one of us but not the other.
POSTSCRIPT!
Thankfully, Murfeel came up with the solution:
Sure enough, she was spot on:
Which means they've been doing this every time they used that mesh over the last ten years.
Cue an awful lot of money going into their swear tin, trying to fix it, and 'dropping' the end result redone using the fixed medium mesh or whatever for muggins to retest this very night under pain of death.
(Word to the wise people, never work with renegade Granny Eaters!)
Yep, working properly.
Of course, it does beg the question of now having to go back and fix all the fresco pictures they'd done before, although they could simply apply Van De Velde's Law to the problem, which states that it is the fault of the user for playing Sims 3 on a toaster ...
Emorrill Demonstrates The Murfeel Baby Yoda Terror Is Spreading
Strong with the Force, it is - mmmm?
Those who stayed with the Pastel side of the Force, their Green Gizmo is only decor.
But for those on the Snark side of the Force, theirs is useful, theirs is a valuable child's toy. Or anyone else's.
Strong with the force is Murfeel.
You'd wonder why EA never thought of doing it.
This whole episode sums up EA and its bin-fished code Sims 4 ...
On Murfeelee And Werewolves
This is a partial reply to Murfeel’s rant about Glitterturd werewolves and the usual EA laziness.
Didn’t want to reply reprinting the whole thing, partly for the sake of length, partly so not to be included with the rest of the usual bumnuggets who ‘Like’ or reblog someone else’s hard work to fill up their own Dumblr without contributing diddly squat to the actual narrative, one of those parts of Dumblr which is a pisser.
Someone makes an elaborate post and you enjoyed it, give it the courtesy it deserves with a proper reply.
Grrrrr!
But anyway, to the following part:
Funnily enough, one of us is reading Carlo Ginzberg’s excellent ‘The Night Battles’ just now, about the fun and games the Venetian Inquisition had dealing with the Benedanti and werewolves (the latter known as ‘the hounds of God’) who were tasked every year to protect the crops at harvest from the ruinations of witches and warlocks in league with the devil.
The Benedanti used fennel sticks. The werewolves used iron bars - but they had the harder task of taking out the witches and warlocks when in flight.
You can imagine the headache for the Venetian Inquisition listening to this stuff being brought to their attention.
On the one hand, they knew very well that the Friuli area had its own particular cultural traditions brought about from being a heady clash of Italian, Slavic and Germanic traditions and legend - with a certain dash of local artistic licence.
On the other, they knew that Rome (and more to the point the Papal States - a military and economic friend/enemy ...) took a dim view of anything which sounded like magic, leaving them with the problem of coming down too hard on people for ‘blasphemy’ and ‘heresy’ (and maybe pissing off the locals when they said they were doing so to fight satanic witches) or doing not enough to please the hardliners in Rome which wanted anything non-Catholic stamped on with hobnail boots in the middle of Europe’s combined witch-craze and Reformation madness.
(Venice was an independent country for almost 800 years until Napoleon Bonaparte and the bloody Hapsburg inbreds dismembered it, before any of you ask)
Another part the book mentions is that Livonian werewolves also fought to protect their communities from demonic attack - being in areas where the predominant religion of the period was Lutheran, the local authorities were a lot less tolerant ...
Anyway, the relationships between witches, vampires and werewolves across different cultures is a fun way to explore and profitably waste any number of afternoons!
