I been called a lotta things in my line of work.
Pinterest stalker.
Blog raider.
Tumblr spelunker.
Green tea addict.
And I'll be the first to admit that I own every last one of these labels with a certain kinda unspoken pride...
Though maybe that last one ain't necessarily tied to the business.
Speaking of which, business is good these days. Not due to me, mind you. If you try even half the time? Well, your reputation is gonna grow as fast as your dccache file. And before you know it, your spending hours indexing old cases, rebuilding CC folders, taking stock on the take.
Give and take, give and take. That's how a CC community stays alive.
The give is always good; I mean, who doesn't like sharing after all? But the take? What a lotta folks don't realize is that the takeaway is exponentially greater for the giver. Don't ask me how the plum that works. I just know it does. From experience.
You post, you're patient, you're paid off in more .package files than you can shake a compress app at. Simple, right?
So this is me being patient as I sit in the back seat of my sloppy jalopy.
No, I'm not waiting for the girls and boys from AAA. In case you haven't noticed, cars don't break down in Sims 3. never. Not even my jalopy. Kinda makes me wonder why in the plum anyone would waste perfectly good Simoleans on a Yomoshoto Evasion or Hwang Hunka 711.
I don't even think Hunka's have a back seat, now that I think about it. And it's not like they blend in to sim suburbia. Kinda defeats the purpose.
Which is? Glad you asked.
This is a stakeout. Not to be confused with steak out since I've been clean from meat for about three whole years now. And that's not to say I don't struggle with other vices these days...
Ugh.. Hot as plum in here.
Dry....
What was I talking about..?
The stake out with no steak, yeah.
I'm here at Public School 67. Why? Because I have no idea where the other 66 are. This is literally the only place I've been able to trace Bridgeport teens and tweens to the moment they step into that big yellow limousine every morning. My zoom's as close as it'll get to this little rabbit hole without having to step into what I suspect is some inexplicable level of nonexistence.
Now hang on a sec, I hear your creep alarms about to go haywire. Thinking of three nasty syllables that start with a P but have nothing to do with plums.
I'm scouting out clothes, people, not the kids. School uniforms to be exact.
That's right.
I'm working here. A brand new case just kinda found its way to my desktop.
Case 9 - Long Jacket 01 by Sakura
Definitely inspired by all those cookie cutter anime your sim kids and even some sim adults munch on, it has a definite Victorian vibe about it too. Problem is all the links fall off like crumbs in your lap, including the blog of origin which is still active yet suspiciously free of any download links whatsoever. Eh, I've seen weirder things. Ever visit Midnight Hollow?

Don't you hate it when you have every intention of finally immersing your happy-go-lucky sim self in the little slice of virtual simtopia that you've spent months prepping only to find another CC that this one little part of you says you can't do without..?
Plummit, that's it.. I reach for a glitter of bottled gold that might have rolled under the passenger seat.
Give and take, baby. Give and take.
As in if I "give" a good enough excuse for drinking green tea in a public place then maybe the cops won't "take" me downtown. Again.
3:00pm comes and goes.
And lucky me, wouldn't you know Public School 67 doesn't even use uniforms. Which means I gotta catalog every single outfit I see. If I didn't look every bit the total creep before, well, I certainly do now.
Good thing is? There really aren't that many kids to keep track of in the first place. No seriously. Have you ever actually sat down and thought about the number of sim kids in your sims' schools? And you wonder why they never invite you to school games or talent shows. I got theories. But most folks think I'm plummin' crazy when I say plum like that..
So yeah, it's a no go on the uniform which woulda been perfect for the nautical steampunk drama the right side of my noggin has been piecing together. At least as far as I can see.
But now some little kid is tapping on my car window. Thinking she's a cop, I choke and spill most of my herbal you-know-what all over the backseat.
Well that's just perfect. Now I have to start all over again.
Again.
Where'd she come from anyway? I thought they all spawned from the front of the school...
"You McGummibear?"
I turn the crank to roll down the window as far as it will go. Which is only about halfway on this side without my screwdriver.
"Who wants to know?"
She rolls her eyes at me, purses her lips. You'd think I was talking to my landlord back at the office.
Then without another word, she throws not one but two .package files into my lap and skips away to get on the bus with the rest of the pudding-faced munchkins.
I'm wiping my hands on my trench coat now as I smirk at the return addresses.
Well, whaddaya know?
Looks like my new old pals @KatyFernlily and Agent @Pary came through for me yet again. I know I should expect no less from these two by now, but let's face it.
That's hustle.
Real moxie.
Enough gumption for a Kate Winslet movie and then some.
Bohemian kimonos are a big deal with the hippies who live over the bridge in those backwoods. So if I hit the road now, maybe I can beat the 5 o'clock traffic and pay the flower children back for all the green tea they've spotted me over the past few weeks.
Or... years.
Nah, who am I kidding..?
We all know there's no traffic in Bridgeport.
