Your icon on this account is too cute, Biffy. :D

🐷 Junk food you can never get enough of: Ice cream! Pretty much any sweet, but especially ice cream. S/O to Ben & Jerry’s cookie dough and also this pumpkin ice cream a local ice cream parlor sells.

🌼 Fave flower: Roses!

ok so I didn’t vote for shanice going to investigate Strangerville (only bc I am joy/darling trash) BUT. I am already enjoying the posts 💖 the way you tell your sim stories is always very aesthetically pleasing to me and I just wanted to tell you that 😊

ARENT YOU JUST THE SWEETEST THING 🥰 ilu bb

I just checked back in and technically Shanice, after holding the lead from pretty much the get-go, ended up being tied for first with Joy + Darling—so you almost got your wish!

TBH they were who I primarily had in mind to begin with buuuuut once I figured out how Shanice would end up in StrangerVille I was really happy that she was the pick. 

That being said, I can totally see Joy + Darling eventually ending up in StrangerVille themselves someday (depending on the replayability of the storyline). 💕 

And, at a minimum, Darling is definitely enlisting once they age up.

Awww, shucks, you guys ;___; ❤

Thank you so much! ❤ You’re the best, I love you all, consider this sent right back :D :D

[scottishly]

Do we... party now? Pool party? Yes? Yes. ❤

Seriously though, thank you so much! I am literally sending these right back at you as we speak ❤

Some late replies and an update!

prettybabo replied to your post “Hey guys! So I know this isn’t like, huge moving news to anyone since...”

Eeee I'm so excited for you! I hope the moving process is as stress free as possible. I got the major heebies just moving 3 miles never mind to another continent ��

I will not lie - this has been THE MOST stressful move I’ve ever made lmao uuuuggggh and I konw a lot of it could have been made easier if I hadn’t procrastinated but. Ugh it was just SUCH a daunting task! Trying to sort what was going was a NIGHTMARE and trying to figure out how to pack 2 months of necessities into 5 suitcases was DREADFUL (also the movers would not move my nail polish??? so??? I have to slip that into my luggage somehow - which involves reducing cos i’m at 200+ LMAO)

That said - I’M RIDICULOUSLY EXCITED!!!!!

kayleigh-83 replied to your post “Hey guys! So I know this isn’t like, huge moving news to anyone since...”

Woowww huge change! That's so exciting though, hoping for the best move possible for you and your husband! I really hope you guys settle in quick and enjoy Korea.

It’s SO huge! There’s been a lot of ups and downs (originally we were supposed to be in the Seoul area but have been relocated and it took FOREVER for me to make peace with it) but I’ve always wanted to visit Korea, so the opportunity to LIVE there. GUH!

ohmysims replied to your post “Hey guys! So I know this isn’t like, huge moving news to anyone since...”

Good luck with everything!

mspoodle1 replied to your post “Hey guys! So I know this isn’t like, huge moving news to anyone since...”

How cool! Good luck!

Thank you both!!! I’ve really needed luck to get through so much of this lmao what a PROCESS it’s been!

So I’m officially on the eve of my move!!!!!!! I feel like everything just sort of snuck up on me and ngl this past month has felt like 3. My stress and anxiety got so bad there were a lot of sleepless nights and real, actual stress gagging? I never want to clean a house for move out inspection ever again in my life. We’re currently staying at a friends house til we fly out and I’m still shifting things around in our luggage LMAOOOOO

Thank you to everyone who has had a nice message to say about this move! It’s been so hellaciously stressful, but I’m SOOOOOOO excited!

I’ve been messaging with this adorable lady who runs a secondhand bookstore and does Korean lessons on Thursday and Friday mornings and I can’t wait for them! I’ve spent many years trying to learn Korean myself, but my dedication is severely lacking, so my foundation is RIDICULOUSLY weak, but I feel like actual weekly classes will really help cement things. There’s also a group of ladies who get together on I think Wednesdays? for a Korean-English language exchange in a coffee shop. I’m really so scared about how bad I am at Korean (which is... silly cos duh that’s the point of learning languages. I hate making mistakes even tho THAT’S LITERALLY HOW YOU LEARN) and also I’m SO SCARED MEETING NEW PEOPLE but I’m gonna face all my fears and DO IT.

I don’t think I’ve ever written about it much but living in Texas has been really rough for me. I don’t drive, so getting around has been impossible and I’ve just generally felt really trapped and stranded and its made my depression even worse. Pyeongtaek and public transportation, though, means I’ll be able to go out when and where I want and GOSH I’m ready to feel alive again!

ALSO!!!!!! I GET TO SEE ONE OF MY ULTIMATE FAVORITE GROUPS, 2PM, IN CONCERT!!!!!!!!!

anyway i wanted to let you guys know I’m still alive and Monday morning I’m gonna be flying into Korea *_________*

Replies! <3

Trying not to fall behind on them this time... and also trying to remember how to mass-reply to things...

Replies for @allisas, @bigwandsnmistletoe, @alexsh-19, @mikexx2, @kahlenas, @kayleigh-83, @kidhedera, @kaylynn-langerak, @vampireacademysims, @dramallamadingdang, @prettybabo, and @scottishly!

This is a clever houseplan!

Thank you! Although I can’t take credit for it, I feel good knowing this layout has been approved by the architect extraordinaire! ;) 

bigwandsnmistletoe replied to your photoset “Everyone was so excited about the new house that they all hung around...”

the fall decor on the door is gorgeous

Thank you! Veranka was sweet enough to take on my request to convert it a few years ago. :D

alexsh-19 replied to your photoset “Thompson family kitchen, aka my new favorite kitchen ever. I say that...”

Such a cute kitchen! ��

Thank you so much! :D

mikexx2 replied to your post “Do you mind if I ask what the floor plan looks like to the new house...”

Love it!

kahlenas replied to your post “Do you mind if I ask what the floor plan looks like to the new house...”

Hmmm mind borrowing it? ;)

Thank you! Feel free to borrow it, it’s not like I came up with it or anything. ;) (Even if I did, you could borrow that too!)

kayleigh-83 replied to your photoset “Thompson family kitchen, aka my new favorite kitchen ever. I say that...”

I love it! Like a perfect amount of rustic!

Ahhh thank you! I’ve been on a rustic kick lately (something about the fall makes me want to make everything look rustic and cozy!). Sometimes I wish I went the rustic look with my own apartment, but then I remember I like mid-century modern, too. :P 

kidhedera replied to your post “quick question: do the system specs in your FAQ still apply or have...”

EA removed securom from The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection, there's a post about it on SimsVIP.

Yep, I mentioned it in my post! I didn’t run the update myself since I’ve already removed SecuROM and run the game without going through Origin, but I made a point of mentioning that although the update removes SecuROM, some people were forced to do complete reinstalls or reset their graphics rules because Origin automatically ran the update before people could make proper backups. Again, not too familiar with what happened since I didn’t perform the Origin update myself, just mentioning what I saw some people on my dash talking about. :)  

kaylynn-langerak replied to your photoset “Kids’ rooms! Poe’s is orange and space-y (…hmm wonder where the...”

That's funny because i use way too much purple and avoid orange like the plaque.

Haha, orange is quite a polarizing color! Maybe I’m more drawn to it because I’m in an autumn sort of mood. :P I’m not a fan of pastel colors in general, which is why I usually stay away from pinks/purples/lavender/periwinkle/etc., but I like deep purple shades, like plum. :) 

vampireacademysims replied to your photoset “Thompson family kitchen, aka my new favorite kitchen ever. I say that...”

Pretty! :D

Thank you! :D

dramallamadingdang replied to your photoset “Thompson family living area, aka this is where I decided IT’S GOING TO...”

I only just started syncing seasons, myself. It never bothered me before, either, but I kind of like it. :) (Also, it's good to have you back, dear. :) )

Thank you! It’s good to be back. :D Hopefully I remember to keep up with the season-syncing, I feel like it’ll make the neighborhood feel more cohesive (even though everything was just fine before, too :P). 

prettybabo replied to your photoset “Welcome, welcome back folks! With this post, my blog is finally...”

I think it looks lovely �� the shots seems to have a colder tone than your recent posts but that could just be the in game lighting tbh ��

Thank you dear! I think it is in the in-game lighting because a lot of my later screenshots are much warmer, but we’ll see when the weather/seasons change if the lighting updates with it! ;)

scottishly replied to your post “I love your game. I would steal your downloads folder if I could ��”

I'm on 11GB and about 30 minutes of loading time, high five!

WOOOO loading time twins! *high five* why are we like this

[simper-fi]

prettybabo replied to your photoset: yes yes I know you’re all sick of toddler/puppy...

a) I will never get sick of them and b) what on earth have you done to your game? D:

Oh, I loaded up my game (with all my CC installed - I checked!), and I was playing around with my new hood deco, clicked on a random community lot to see how everything looked from lot view - and I see this. Even though my entire DL folder is present (I was playing around with hood deco, AND I had rolled the pacifier in CAS like I always do, and all my bodyshop content was there). But nothing in the build/buy catalogue showed up. :D :D :D :D :D I’m reloading now....

Your neighborhood is so pretty!

Ahhh, thank you so much! I’m glad you like it. :D

Hahaha, we’re really setting the bar high over here! ;D

kayleigh-83 replied to your photo “Besides it being way too small for two adults, a dog, and a newborn,...”

I had to empty out an apartment building I liked cause it got glitchy :/ it was a small building with no elevator, just stairs, but then they couldn't use the stairs!! Whenever I played Sims on the upper floor I'd have to use cheats to move them up and down the stairs, including dogs going to do their business -_-

UGH it makes me so sad that apartments in TS2 are so glitchy because I really love the concept (especially since I live in one myself!). I love the social aspect of it and how perfect it is for single Sims and couples - but then stuff like this happens and before you know it EVERYONE GETS A HOUSE because I’m fed up. :|

I LOVE it!!!! that little patio deck!!!! It's the perfect place to have friends over for drinks and so quaint aaaaaaahhhhh. I'm in love! I can't blame you for loving it so much too.

Thank you!! I based it off of a floor plan I found and it had that cute little dining patio, and I thought it’d be the perfect opportunity to use those awning pieces I’ve had floating around in my DL folder forever. ❤ My Sims seem to like it, too - the NEVER eat in their gorgeous dining room, nooooo. Always outside, no matter what the weather. :P

dramallamadingdang replied to your photoset “The new Mahoney-Fox residence (well, Fox residence, as Evelyn took...”

The pergola is fabulous. :)

Thank you! :) I’m glad it worked out. It’s one of those CC items I’ve had forever and kept telling myself “well, I might need it someday,” so I’m glad that day finally arrived. ;D

dramallamadingdang replied to your photoset “More reasons to move out: the trash compactor broke down and the...”

"Yes, yes, yes, I know you're being electrocuted, but dirty dishes wait for no one!"

Hahaha, I know we say it all the time, but Sim logic never fails to amuse me! :) 

dramallamadingdang replied to your photo “Besides it being way too small for two adults, a dog, and a newborn,...”

That always happens. All you have to do is turn on moveobjects and delete them, then they won't reappear. You have to do it when you're playing each playable household in the building. Pain in the ass, but at least it's fixable. :)

Aha! Good to know. :) I was afraid my neighborhood was becoming corrupted or one of my apartment mods was causing this nonsense. I feel much calmer and more prepared for the next time I decide to play an apartment building. ;)

eulaliasims replied to your photoset “Oh yeah, then the trash compactor went on fire. YUP, DEFINITELY TIME...”

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this apartment lot is cursed.

Hahah, yeeeeeaaaahh... I’m just going to let that lot sit there unoccupied for awhile until I figure out what to do with it. I don’t think I could risk sending another family to live there. :P

eulaliasims replied to your photoset “Some more graveyard pictures because I moved the urns of the dead...”

It looks even lovelier in autumn colors! <3

Thank you so much! ❤

thats some dedication wow

touchmypixels replied to your photo “Gotta give the landlord credit, though - he still tried to fix that...”

dedication

I can say with certainty that he is the best landlord I’ve had in my game! :) For starters, he didn’t hang around sniffing the flowerbeds all day and harass my Sims over the phone constantly. ;) This trash compactor debacle just sealed the deal!

soloriya replied to your photoset “Some more graveyard pictures because I moved the urns of the dead...”

so beautiful!!

Thank you!!! :D

oh no!

fuzzyspork replied to your photoset “Oh yeah, then the trash compactor went on fire. YUP, DEFINITELY TIME...”

:O

I guess I can’t say my neighborhood is lacking in excitement. ;) Although I must concur with you that this apartment is cursed - even for the Sims, there were just a few too many unfortunate events occurring all at once. ;D

prettybabo replied to your post “I’ve been playing this game for over ten years, and I finally had...”

Aw, gotta love those eye popping toddler/pet squidges.

THEY’RE THE BEST I can’t resist taking a ton of screenshots when that happens!  ❤❤ Makes me want to have pets in all my toddler households! :)
