Duncan's Family Tree. What will change in the next generation? That's up to @roguebotanist , and where she starts is up to you. The heir poll closes this Friday night at 8PM US Eastern Time. Have you voted yet? Vote now!

roguebotanist replied to your post “So, people seem pretty interested in the concept of doing a Round...”

I’d be interested in participating! It would be a challenge to coordinate a dedicated legacy neighborhood, but it’s certainly an exciting concept. How would you handle something like a university sub hood?

I was wondering about that, tbh! I suppose Downtown could be the default Downtown, or mirror the main hood in being something we build up as we go, or we could just not use Downtown...

The original rules say not to use University which makes sense since we do want to get all the generations done ASAP but... again, I really like university, haha! And it’s a good way to get all the potential “heirs” to be the same age. Plus, there are some cute custom ones around that don’t use CC! (Not even just mine, there’s also the lovely Mission State University!)

Quite the long list of interested participents now, haha! Either this is going to be a whole-ass 20 generations or we should do 2 parallel legacies, hehe?

For the sims asks: C, G, and Y?

C  Favourite Pre-Made

That’s such a hard question. The entirety of Strangetown (and Pleasantview to that extent) are my favs. But you know, to shake things up a bit: Phineaus Furley. He’s like the proto-hipster/ potential “educated asshole” and yet he always turns out to be such a darling family dork in my game.

G  Favourite Expansion Pack

Already answered this!

Y  Favourite Career

The slacker career! It’s such a fun career with a huge potential payout (that video editor chance card?) I love it!

Thank you!

I was tagged to do this meme by @roguebotanist ! Sorry it took me so long!

1. If you could travel one place in the world where would you travel?

Probably be to the USA to visit all my friends there, and my partner's extended family! I'm planning to go to Japan again soon with my partner, too, but because Australia is closer to Japan, that's a lot more attainable than visiting the states. So if I had magic-genie-travel-vouchers, I'd definitely pick the US. Just... maybe not for a few years, lol. It's a dream of mine to be able to take the two of us on a kind of foodie driving tour down through different American states, visiting a bunch of people we know, and tasting all the stuff we see on Instagram, LOL.

2. What do you do in your free time away from Sims?

I draw, cook, dabble in writing (I'm not very good but I really enjoy it), translate/subtitle videos from Japanese and close caption videos/podcasts in English, and work on eventual-someday comic ideas. I also keep meaning to get into gardening and sewing - I have all the equipment, but the attention... not so much.

3. What other games do you play besides The Sims?

Animal Crossing, Pokemon (even though I still haven't finished SWSH), Stardew Valley, a little bit of Slime Rancher (highly recommend, I think a lot of y'all would really like it), and the Ace Attorney series though I haven't played much beyond the original trilogy even though I really like it. Since we got our Switch I started playing Zelda BoTW too, which is my first real "gamer" game and I really, really liked it, so I'm sort of dabbling in more games of those kinds of genres that I used to be intimidated by.

4. How tall are you?

5'11"/180cm, last time I measured.

5. One random interest of yours?

I collect/love to pore over retro cook books with really terrible photography. I have a small collection of them. Some of them are genuinely good and others are hilariously bizarre. I daydream about starting a YouTube channel some day and I think about making a week's worth of breakfast/lunch/dinners from these old books and recording the process. My current favourite is all about what you're supposed to like to eat based on your star sign, from the 1990s. There's a lot of the word "moist".

6. Current favourite bands/artists?

“Current” is hard to say because if I actually manage to get attached enough to an artist/group to specifically like them, they become my favourite for a loooooonnnnggg time. So I would have to say my "current" favourites are exist†trace, Go-Bang’s, BARBEE BOYS, and Yes.

7. Something you’re looking forward to?

I'm looking forward to getting my life back together now that I've finally been able to finish a really stressful irl project, lmao. I'm looking forward to having enough money saved up to hopefully travel to Japan as early as next year and surprise my friends there. I'm looking forward to breakfast tomorrow and painting my nails :9

8. Current favourite films?

I have the same problem with this as I do music, LMAO. I really liked Birds of Prey! The most recent new-to-me film I saw that left an impression on me which I can remember was the Ghibli film "Only Yesterday". If you're a little older and a bit stressed about the pressures of adult life then this movie is a real treat. Also saw Big Eden for the first time semi-recently with my partner and was really sweet and pretty funny. Now that I think about it, it had a lot in common with my cook books.

9. What food could you not live without?

I was thinking of all the foods I love and would hate to go without, like tofu (for real), but I'm actually watching my diet right now and as it turns out I can apparently live without a lot of stuff, LOL. But I'm trying to eat "healthier" not just change weight and the only thing that's really tripped me up is the idea of forgoing sugar-free drinks. I knoowwww Pepsi Max probably isn't """good""" for me or """a substance human beings should consume""" but I grew up on it, I drink a sugar-free energy drink every second day (used to be every day but my heart said don't do that), and I like black coffee but even that has its limit. So I guess the answer here is "terrible, bad, laboratory-constructed soda", lmao. Can’t live without it, questionable if I can live with it.

10. Favourite series (book or movie)?

If I'm allowed to pick a TV series then this is where I slide in and say the 2003-4 Sailor Moon live action series (shoutout to Lady Bane for making excellently niche Sims 2 content for it, too). If not, I'm stuck again with not really knowing and not wanting to say Harry Potter since I haven't really engaged with it for a million years. Hey! Maybe you guys should recommend a new book or movie series to me! Especially if the book is available as an audiobook, because I have more patience/attention for them than reading these days.

I don’t know who to tag because I don’t know who’s already done it - let’s start with @afro-sims-for-you, @didilysims and uhhhhh @katatty-main​ ? Plus anyone else who follows me and wants to do it! Tag me back so I can read ‘em :0

A,D,J,Y?

A: Favourite CC Creator 

I have sooo many but i love @deedee-sims‘s cc, especially her hair so much! ;o;

D: Favourite Current Sim

Truthfully i have way too many but i currently like these sims! In order, Bernald, Kingyo and Pristilla. They’re all from my Huntsville hood.

J: The One Piece of CC You Couldn't Play Without

This was hard to answer as well, but maybe some 4t2 converted clothing, as i really like the swatches of most of them and they really fit in ts2 world ;v; Oh and also some nosemasks and lip corners!

Y: Favourite Career

I don’t really care about the careers + i haven’t played majority of them for ages because i still haven’t unlocked all of them, but i like Education and Paranormal career tracks.

hey, do you know where you got the black and orange swimsuit in /post/183827886613? I've been looking for 100,000 years and can't find it anywhere :-/ Thanks if you do and no worries if not!

roguebotanist replied to your post: in sims 2, does personality determine which of the...

The wiki says they’re randomly determined in CAS or at birth, so unless you start with a sim that has the voice you want it has to be done in simpe (sims.fandom.com/wiki/Vo…) It’s suspected that specific voice lines are in some way linked to aspiration/personality, but not the actors/voice types (simbology.com/smf/ind…)

thank you for the info! i should’ve known to check the wiki-- i always forget how in-depth some of their pages are.

most mind-blowing thing i found out on the wiki page is that teen sims are voiced by the lady who did lisa in silent hill. neat.

it’s really good to have that information in case i ever REALLY need a sim to have a specific voice. just load them into CAS until i get the right one.
