Stop making a fuss, it's too late.

All the graves of planet SimEarth are about to give birth.

You know the key strategic weakness of the Sim race?

The dead outnumber the living.

Happy Spooky Day, Simmers!

Not So Lovestruck Servos

Due to a feature oversight ("bug"), we can't change likes/dislikes and romantic/sexual orientation for servos.

When The Sims 4 Lovestruck comes out, this problem will extend to turn-ons/-offs and romantic/sexual boundaries, since those systems build on the already existing systems for likes/dislikes and romantic/sexual orientation.

This problem hasn't been mentioned in the Laundry List of fixes that will come with the next patch, and the longer it takes until it's fixed, the more servos will have randomised turn-ons/-offs and romantic/sexual boundaries that can't be changed. There's already a problem with servos having romantic/sexual orientations that can't be changed, we don't need to extend it further.

Therefore, could you please consider to click "me too" on this bug report and/or to reblog this post 🙏🏼 Me and my servos would be very grateful if you did 🥰

Kodex: I do not think these birds want to be fed.

Melon: Maybe they are robots.

Kodex: What?

Melon: They do have surprisingly sharp corners.

Eve: Robots? That is creepy.

Kodex: How is that creepy? We are bots too.

Eve: But what if they are placed here by the government, to spy on us.

Kodex: Eve, please do n-

Goldie: Wait, you are right! Other birds, such as ducks and swans, like to swim, but pigeons do not do that. Maybe they cannot be in water because they are machines. It all makes sense now!

Kodex and Melon: ...

Eve: Um… There is one sitting here listening to us right now. It makes me nervous.

Kodex: Goldie, did you have to put ideas into Eve's head?

Goldie: Sorry…

Melon: I am guilty too, I should not have brought it up to begin with.

Melon: Maybe we should go somewhere else, somewhere where there are not any birds.

Kodex: I will check the train timetables.

My Top 23 Screenshots from 2023

Thanks for the tag @sharona-sims 😊

Pictures below the "Keep reading" cut

Most of the pictures also have links to the posts they're from 🙂

From The Original Ahriman

Ahriman being photogenic. The picture for Arc 2.

These two being... questionable? 😅

(It's just self-woohoo with extra steps...)

Morgyn's training session

The "What do you mean I should treat others the way I want to be treated?" face

Cornelia Goth making her son nervous

Ahriman meeting Harold 🥰

From The Brights

Beren crying 🥺 Taking this screenshot broke my heart

Beren laughing 🥰 When he played Never Have I Ever with Jayden, Cameron, and Julia

Beren reacting to when Melon first started

New chassis colours! Kodex kept their original blue chassis colour, Eve changed to silver, and Melon changed to red

The first time Ahriman saw a bot

Cameron and Jayden breaking up 🥲

Selfie! The picture for Arc 2 😊 (Also, see if you can find something I hid in the background)

Beren and Melon going to a restaurant

Ahriman sitting by the broken portal

Beren "got distracted" 😅 (He started to think about woohoo because of Morgan's questions about love)

Melon being dramatic 😂

The Order of Enchantment when they were found by Julia. I just love how he squints with one eye 😆

Other

✨ Glimmerbrook ✨

And here are four pictures from a Dress Up / Alternate Universe Prompt game. People gave me prompts, and I dressed up my sims in a separate save file. All of these are just me playing around with the ideas from the prompts, so they're completely AU and not canon 😆

Beren as an engineer in the 1800s

Beren as a steampunk engineer

Beren and Andrew at a ball in the 1800s

Beren as a steampunk scientist and Ahriman as a vampire, in the 1800s

And I'm tagging @pomelosims, if you want to do it, no pressure 😊

⠀

Beren: Oh, good morning. I didn't expect you to come in here, I'm sorry that I'm a bit… undressed.

Melon: It is okay. I will not look.

⠀

Beren: Then stop looking in my direction.

Melon: Sorry. It is a habit… To look in the direction of the person I am talking to, I mean.

⠀

Beren: Did you charge in here after all?

Melon: Yes. I had not turned off my microphones yet when you said good night, so I heard your apology.

⠀

Melon: I am sorry for the way I acted yesterday.

Beren: It's okay.

⠀

Melon: No, it is not okay. I was prying, I was intrusive, I was snarky, and I overreacted. Just because something bothers me does not give me the right to act like a llama.

⠀

Melon: The thing you told me yesterday morning, I did not have any problems with it at all, at first, but when I noticed that you look at people… I just started to think too much about it.

⠀

Beren: Just because I look at someone doesn't mean that I want to woohoo with them.

⠀

Beren: But why couldn't you just let it go or tell me that it made you uncomfortable?

Melon: The idea got stuck in my head. I wanted to figure out who that "someone" would be. I am sorry.

⠀

Beren: I'll be less explicit next time, it was an impulse to stop you from prying.

⠀

Melon: Hi, is it all right if I come over?

⠀

Eve: Of course!

⠀

Eve: Okay… Is there anything I have to hide before they come?…

⠀

Beren: Hm…

⠀

Beren: It feels like something doesn't really add up.

⠀

Melon: Ughhhh… I am an idiot.

Eve: Um…

⠀

Melon: I do not think I like it when Beren is impulsive.

Eve: Okay?

Melon: As in how he expresses himself on impulse.

Eve: Mhm…?

Melon: I was prying and he told me something about woohoo that I did not want to know about, and I acted like a llama because I am an idiot.

⠀

Kodex: What is going on?

⠀

Kodex: Why is Melon on the floor?

Melon: Because I am an idiot.

Eve: Something about Beren and woohoo.

⠀

Kodex: Okay, I am out of here.

⠀

Eve: I am sorry, but I am not sure how to help you.

Melon: It is okay. I might try to become one with the floor instead.

Ahriman: Celene… When are you gonna start paying me?

Celene: Well, when are ya gonna get registered to the population register, so that I can pay ya? This might be Moonwood, but that doesn't mean that you're doin' some kinda cash-in-hand moonlighting.

⠀

Ahriman: You haven't even told me before that I need to get registered somewhere.

Celene: I thought that was obvious.

⠀

Rory: Don't be so hard on him. Just look at how hopeless he is with technology, they probably didn't even have a digital population register where he's from.

⠀

Celene: Alright, then we'll help ya.

⠀

Lou: With Moonwood's plummy internet connection?

Celene: Right. You've got a point.

Lou: Rory and I can take an all-dayer and go with him to the city hall in San Myshuno instead.

Rory: Did you just say that I don't get to sleep today? 😐

⠀

Cameron: All done. Do you like it?

Goldie: Yes! I love it! Thank you for helping me.

⠀

Goldie: So, about getting me registered to the population register... It can be done in San Myshuno City Hall, and the weather app says that it is not as cloudy as here. How about we go for some sightseeing? It would be much more fun than getting registered over the Internet.

Cameron: Sure thing.

⠀

Beren: Ouch! Plumming knife.

⠀

Beren: I hate pain.

⠀

Melon: Are you okay? Do I need to get the first aid kit?

Beren: It hurt, but I'm fine, it's not that deep.

⠀

Melon: I just have to ask… You have been a bit clumsy lately, it seems like you are distracted. Is it because I confronted you about the bot that Cameron built?

⠀

Beren: What? Not at all! This has been going on for a while, it has to do with something completely different.

⠀

Melon: Is it about your past again?

⠀

Beren: No, no, it works well to distract myself with fun things, to not think too much about my past.

⠀

Melon: What is it about then?

⠀

Beren: Well, if you're gonna pry…

⠀

Beren: I just want to find someone!

Melon: Find someone?

⠀

Beren: Someone to feel skin to skin contact with, pin to a bed, touch, kiss, and make them scream out of pleasure.

Melon: My Watcher. I did not expect you to say any of those things.

⠀

Beren: Heh. Me neither.

⠀

Beren: Sorry. It's too easy to talk with you.

⠀

Melon: I guess it is quite normal to feel that way, but… is it really to the point where you get so distracted that you cut yourself?

⠀

Beren: It's more that I start to overthink it… But let's stop talking about this and just forget that I ever mentioned it.

⠀

Beren: I'm back! And I just got a text from Cameron asking if we want to go to San Myshuno for some sightseeing with him and the new bot, Goldie.

⠀

Beren: Wanna tag along?

Melon: Sure.

⠀

Beren: Sorry, I just realised that you're probably not very happy with Cameron right now. Don't feel any pressure to come.

⠀

Melon: It is okay. I would love to meet Goldie and see San Myshuno.

Beren: How about we take the train at 13 then?

Melon: Sounds good.

Bot: Do you two own this house?

Kodex: Eve does. I just live here.

⠀

Bot: You must be rather successful, Eve.

⠀

Eve: Not at all.

⠀

Bot: How did you afford the house then?

⠀

Eve: Well… You know…

⠀

Bot: No, I do not.

Kodex: Do not bother. They will not answer where they got the money from.

⠀

Eve: I am ready. Are you ready?

Bot: Yes.

⠀

Kodex: I am not. I need a tutorial.

Bot: Should I be worried?

Eve: I can go first.

⠀

⠀

...

Eve: Look at us!

⠀

Eve: So pretty!

Bot: With all your talk about melons, I feel like I look like one now…

⠀

Kodex: Maybe you are a melon.

⠀

Bot: What?

⠀

Bot: Oooh…

⠀

Kodex: "Oooh" what?

⠀

Bot: You gave me an idea. But I will need to charge on it, so I will keep it to myself, for now.

⠀

Bot: I guess he is asleep. Good.

Julia: Hi!

Beren: Hi!

Julia: I realised that I never asked for your name. I'm Julia. Julia Wright.

Beren: Beren Bright.

Julia: Hah, our surnames rhyme!

Julia: So, this is the utilibot exhibition, there are of course utilibots to look at, but you can also play with the quadcopters if you'd like.

Beren: Alright, I'll have a look around.

Beren: Hey, Kodex, that was a while ago!

Eve: I am not Kodex. My name is Eve Phong. You can call me Eve.

Beren: Oh, so sorry.

Beren: You don't happen to know them and have their number?

Eve: Affirmative. Here.

Beren: Awesome, thanks!

Beren: Hi Kodex, this is Beren. I haven't heard from you or seen you around, you don't happen to wanna meet up? I got your number from Eve Phong, I hope that was alright.

Kodex: Hi Beren! I would love to meet you! Where do you want to meet?

Beren: You could come to my place at 4, if you'd like? I'll send you the coordinates.

Kodex: You can just send me a link on Maps.

Beren : I wonder where Kodex is, shouldn't they be here by now? I'll go check outside.

Beren: Oh my Watcher!

Beren: You should've told me that you needed service!

Kodex: Thank you for saving me!

Beren: Oh, no problem.

Kodex: I am sorry that I did not contact you after asking for your number, I got a bit nervous about it.

Beren: No need to be sorry, it's already in the past.
