It's almost pride month! Please accept these screenshots of some gay Sims being sappily in love on a picnic.
Cloud-gays-gaze
What if we tenderly touched our foreheads together by the death flowers (and the grapes that grow on bushes somehow)? :3
Random bonus content:
They're disgusting. :3
Testing out some canon accurate poses lmfao. (Will do more with these once I get the accessories to line up correctly, I may have to re-download the TOOL mod to get them just right.)
I downloaded a frying pan accessory for Dylan and forgot to take it off after I messed with the poses (still looking for a perfect one for that accessory). Found him alone in the living room later, dancing to the radio with his emotional support frying pan. 😂
Also, behold: I have made baby's first custom content.
All you ever see of it in The Quarry lmfao.
This is not my art, it's some random uncredited flash sheet on Pinterest that I cleaned up and edited to more closely resemble the style of Dylan's in the game. It looks kinda crummy but honestly so does Dylan's tattoo texture from the game files, affectionately, so... if anything it might be an improvement. You can download it here and use it for your Sims if you want! Be warned that it will look even worse than this if you don't have the graphics quality for Sims specifically cranked up to 'very high.'
When I miss the OTP but the writing braincell has gone on strike, I fire up The Sims and take 500 screenshots of my Rylan sims being madly in love for inspo. :3
Got a new (old) computer from Facebook marketplace with a 1 TB hard drive! I've been fighting for my life with my 121 GB MacBook Air for years. So now I can REALLY have embarrassing amounts of Sims CC, pose packs, and screenshots!
Self-indulgent Sim!Rylan photoshoot to celebrate:
I swear they do more in their little pixel lives than cuddle and make out in loungewear. But, like, who cares? :3 It's Pride Month, have your gay Sims seduce each other wearing cartoon house shoes, as a treat (I feel like Blathers and Celeste are way too interested in what they're doing tbh).
As an aside, I'm increasingly pleased with Dylan's tattoo the more I look at it. (Less pleased with his decision to nap on the couch that is like five feet away from his bed AND is so short that his head clips through the arm... but Sims are gonna Sim.)
I have so much fun with these guys 💜 Some in-game happenings and 'photo shoot' screenshots I've done with pose packs since my last Sims post...
I'm so sorry Kaitlyn, I love you to bits, but this meme is so funny to me.
I don't ship these guys as a throuple, but I thought the 'Challengers' pose was pretty hilarious for them anyway. Kaitlyn puts up with a lot living with these dorks, she deserves to fujo out if she wants, you know?
I always have to screenshot it when they get a moodlet that really fits or reminds me of canon...
I mean, what other kind of confidence would Dylan have???
Literally, every day of Ryan's life. Love that for him.
Would you call them... bonerfide?
I built a functional aquarium just so I could send Dylan and Ryan on a date there. I just feel like both of them would be super into staring at fish together.
Nick temporarily became a plant Sim, as a reference to Evan responding to people asking his favorite food by saying he "actually photosynthesizes" lmao.
As a part-man, part-vegetable, rabbits became a serious threat to him.
Sent the trio to go swim with the glow jellies, but Kaitlyn wandered off pretty quickly.
Dylan still hates swimming but he loves a good float.
They did the 'water woohoo' in front of the jellies. Good thing they don't have eyes I guess.
Dylan and Ryan autonomously flirt with each other more than any Sims couple I have ever had, which seems canon accurate to me.
But occasionally that goes a bit wrong, because Ryan has the cc 'shy' trait, so he doesn't like PDA (even though he sometimes initiates it...)
Like that time he gave Dylan a comforting hug in front of the ranch hand (who was in a bathing suit because she keeps using our pool...) and... well. He, uh, died a little bit.
Schrödinger was like, dad, get it together.
The ranch hand was just cuddling Ian Jr. like she had no cares in the world when Grim came to collect Ryan's soul. Rude.
I had to cancel Dylan's planned activity of 'cry' to convince him to try to bribe Grim not to take his fiancé for what I think would be the third freaking time.
He's like, you receive death flower, I receive alive Ryan!
He was into it, but apparently he got confused and thought we gave him a death frog instead of a death flower? Oh well, whatever works.
Nick had just gotten out of the shower when it happened so he came outside in a towel to mourn Ryan's death, and then cheer his resurrection. SIR. PUT SOME CLOTHES ON.
They got such cute sentiments from it! 🥺
:3
They were... really glad to be back together...
Wrapping up with these baddies, I took them out on the town for Girls' Night! (We invited Laura too but she said no lmfao.)
Emma and Abi broke it down at karaoke. Emma only has a little bit of singing skill and Abi has none but they clearly do not care.
Kaitlyn's uhh standing on a box here probably. (I think this pose pack had a built-in height difference.)
My Quarry Sims continually delight me by displaying lore-accurate behavior. For example, Sim Dylan, like in-game Dylan, has this duality:
How he looks in cut scenes ✨
My friends on TQBrOS see them all the time, but I realize that I haven't held up my TQ Sims on Tumblr with my hand behind them like a beauty and skincare influencer in a hot minute. Rest assured that I still play with them often and make Ryan and Dylan kiss each other in cute sweaters (in front of the skeleton of the cow plant that I made eat Constance Hackett).
Kaitlyn recently beat the absolute fuck out of a burglar who tried to steal the rocket that Dylan built in the backyard.
That's the face of a beautiful woman who will kill you.
Come back any time you get a death wish!
And, listen, we needed that rocket ship because, well, we had achievements to, uh, achieve.
The time before that, he was scared off by Dylan just thoroughly bitching him out.
And then Jacob got abducted by aliens. He'd been having such a nice day, too.
That was the third time he got abducted! The first time, no one was around, but the second time, Dylan was right there and he missed it because he was loving on the cat.
I think Jacob must be providing them with some sort of... samples... that they find valuable... if you get what I'm saying...
Kaitlyn offered Laura some personal training, from one girlboss to another.
And Max apparently really does like ma'ams! (And does not value his life!) Agnes is like 80.
Don't mind Abi's sunburn, for a while after the last update they all autonomously tried to sunbathe and kept getting charred.
Speaking of getting charred, the whole gang went camping and Ryan set himself on fire a few times lighting the campfire.
Several intense rounds of Don't Wake the Llama were played.
Ryan told such a good ghost story that Nick got VERY scared.
And it conjured an actual ghost. But all she did was haunt the litter box and stalk Dylan. She didn't care that he was wearing his Ghostbusters shirt at all.
"She's right behind me, isn't she?"
Yeah he looks terrified...
You'd think there being a ghost around would ruin the mood, but, uh, apparently it didn't.
Beyond that, Ryan's been painting a lot of masterpieces.
Some of them are, uh, better than others.
Dylan's been making great strides in the scientist career, including using his freeze ray on his unsuspecting roommates. (She's fine, we chiseled her right out! Plus the blue skin kind of served?)
And they've been doing a lot of, um, other stuff...
But mostly just being cute and making me feel extremely single. You know. The usual.
