Hi everyone! I hope you're all enjoying the new forum so far. I know I am!! I'm Charla, a big fan of The Sims 4! ☺️ I was going to join on the old one, but, as it only had a week left I decided to wait until today.
I loved lurking on the what happened in your game today thread so I thought would create a new one here.
So what's happened in your game today?
Today in my game I was playing as a character I created, Lauren Lord. She's an young adult, who dreams of being an author and a mom. Currently she's working as a school teacher, but today she had no work, she stayed at home and played chess and tended to her plants (when it wasn't raining!).
I also made this new Sim :) hope the pic works!
Look forward to seeing what's happening in your games. X
It is a very nice photo of San MyshunoCaerfinon 🙂 and very perceptive reflections on all the various lives of people who live in a city. There are births, deaths and weddings happening all at the same time.
I posted occasionally in the non-serial thread, maybe will do this more regularly now? My focus is still on the Star Wars sims, but I'll try to keep the SW backstory in the backseat and focus on what the sims did.
Just this much: A number of main characters are currently under the thrall of evil emperor Palpatine, and the ghost of Jedi Master Skywalker suggested to the heroes to go mine force resistant minerals and whack the captured sims with weapons forged from those to break the mind control. How subtle and sophisticated!
And this is really an excuse to finally try the mining mod:
Rose Tico (Maker, Horse Lover, Paranoid) comes from a family of miners, she is the expedition leader. She needs to level up Handyness to open the Forgotten Grotto.
Rose is engaged to the strategist and engineer Armitage Hux (Perfectionist, Snob, Self-absorbed), who is... not a good choice in a future husband. He's actually the leader of the evil faction, but six months into having decided to turn his life around and work alongside - not join - the heroes to combat the even more evil Palpatine.
Both Rose and Armitage are in the politician career (she in "United World", he in "Foundation against Mischief"). Their relative career levels represent the strength of their factions in my game - Rose is leading by a nose.
These two are in my game since feburary. They were not planned to become a couple, more or less decided on their own, and today they argued for the second time. Twice in half a rl year. This is how close they are (in contrast my main couple, the guys in my avatar, argues something like thrice a day!).
I wondered what Rose' and Armitage's argument might be about, and realized: Armi might be a reformed villain, but that only pertains to going forward. He feels no remorse for his past deeds, claiming they were the correct choices considering the options open to him at that time. That claim left him isolated in the seven sim expedition, and dropped his social bar.
The game played along nicely and gave me this moodlet for him: [From low social need while being a self-absorbed sim] "Some would say Armitage craves attention, but in truth he's just incredibly lonely. Why is nobody noticing him?!"
Yeah, he's going to do something... unwise. I haven't decided what exactly. "They'll SEE me! I'm going to SHOW them!"
It is great reading about your sims and their background detailsEnkiSchmidt 🙂 I think that other sims may need to be a bit worried that Armitage may plan something that isn’t very great!
There are numerous sports clubs in my ts4 universe, and most of them run regular contests for their better skilled members. Today the Mazaloom Basketball Club had their bi-annual Cup. Winner was a long timer, while the runner ups got their first medals ever. Read more on my blog ;)
PS: I wish we had real medals (necklaces). Hard to understand EA never provided those, being big on Sports games and all. I had to create my own CC, so they look a tad so-so, but at least the ribbon colors represents the flag of Mazaloom kingdom. LOL.
Many thanks to those who have read my first two updates. I do have another one in the works, that just needs a tad more polishing. Alas, my other laptop won't connect to the WiFi. Gr. Can't do it from this one, no word processor. Oh, well. Suffer me to say, I will post it as soon as I can. Again, thank you to those who are reading and please hang in there.
Wow, I love that! Remember I used to flip objects in ts3 create a world, but had no ide it can be done in ts4? Explain if you like to, but basically it looks like a fun setting (well, maybe not so fun for your sims...).
