A Traditional 100 Baby Challenge
Thought I would start a traditional 100 baby challenge inspired by other baby challenges, but this one has a twist, you must marry your forever sim and stay with them till death and try to have at least 6 babies per generation till your sim and their generation gets to 100 Babies the old fashioned way!! I wrote up a little set of rules to follow along with. I may not post everything here but I wanted to just add the sim and who he/she is marrying at the time and how far along I've gotten. It will be a very slow play-through and will take a long time for me to complete so this is more so a look-back area for the things I've done within this challenge.. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Bo_LjUpW_gT6IwmLeInAOwH-_bs54HJdcSULSgJP6dA/edit?usp=sharing Meet Kolby West He is marrying Nalani Mahi'Ai and their Generation will start here!! Enjoy their journey
New Sims 4 Let's Play- Desolation Town
I started a new challenge called Desolation Town which is a combo of Rags to Riches and a renovation challenge. The idea is to start with one sim and play for a certain time frame (24 sim hours). The rest of the town generates itself and then you play each house in a rotation. When I started this challenge I couldn't post to any forums (old one was shut down and the new one wouldn't let me log in). First I wiped out my whole town and townies and built an abandoned town with wonderful dilapidated buildings from the gallery. You can check out the playlist here: Rules: -Start with one sim or family. -Enable Neighborhood Stories. You can enable as many of the challenges as you want. I disabled all the adoption ones as I didn't want a gazillion dogs, cats, babies and toddlers. -While playing with your household allow the empty houses to be filled. -Play with each new family in rotation for 24 sim hours and then move on to the next one. Each household starts with $0 money. -Each time you play a household remove 25 pieces of trash or overgrown yard. You can keep the money from sold items (we sold them on Social Bunny Marketplace). Once your house and yard are cleaned up you can start renovating or cleaning up the public spaces. -Your sim cannot get a job unless they have autonomously got one on their own. If your sim hasn't found a job on their own, work on their aspirations. -Keep playing until all your houses are renovated and the town is fixed. Houses from the gallery I used: Thank you so much for these builds!

No CC Decades Outfits 2.0
In 2021 the simmer ashubii started a thread by this name, which served as an inspiration to several of us. Now like many other threads the screenshots did not get transferred over, nor did it end up in the Sims 4 community but in the Sims Franchise Discussion instead. Since the OP does not seem to be active any longer, I have taken it on myself to salvage the post and its contents, as well as making it easy for more of us to contribute and build on the idea. The original (with links instead of pictures) can be found here. To make this as easy as possible to use and navigate the thread will have a "header"-comment for each decade of the challenge, under which screenshots and suggestions of outfits can go. Comments, requests and questions go in the comment-section at the end. I've added links to the different sections for easy access and navigation: Directory: 1890s fashion 1900s fashion 1910s fashion 1920s fashion 1930s fashion 1940s fashion 1950s fashion 1960s fashion 1970s fashion 1980s fashion 1990s fashion 2000s fashion Discussion/comment section Any and all comment with a @[username] for who the comment is directed to. All credit for the idea and first post should go to ashubii , I'm just trying to make sure nothing gets lost. Finally a little tip that has helped me a great deal. It does involve a mod (MCCC), but I figured it can't hurt anyway:The Merfolk of the Sulani Seas
Overtime, I'll add to this post to expand the Table of Contents and make it easier to access the chapters. Table of Contents Use the links in the Table of Contents to read the chapters in order. The links are working and will take you straight to a chapter. This should save people the trouble of scrolling through the thread. Eventually, I plan on trying to put the "Meet the MerSims" Section in a spoiler, but given the trouble I've had using Spoilers, I'm putting that update on hold. The Little Merman Arc Chapter 1: The Shadow of the Sea Witches Chapter 2: Swimming to Zalia Grottos Chapter 3: Life's Full of Tough Choices Merfolk of the Sulani Seas Lore Overtime, this post will be updated as new merfolk appear in my story. My merfolk won't die from old age, and I'll be following many of my old rules for merfolk. I expect that it could be easier to cheer for a specific character since they won't disappear anytime soon. Meet the MerSims Overtime, this post will be updated as new merfolk appear in my story. My merfolk won't die from old age, and I'll be following many of my old rules for merfolk. I expect that it could be easier to cheer for a specific character since they won't disappear anytime soon. The Zalrian Pod Kemps Zalrian Calum and Reef's older brother. He doesn't approve of his younger brother's interest in humans, but he learned to accept Arihi after she became a mermaid. Kemps is loyal and devoted to protecting his family. After the twins joined the pod, he's become a little more protective and overbearing. This has led to a more strained relationship between Kemps and his nephew, Alex. Out of the three brothers, Kemps is the most responsible. He’s had to look after his younger brothers for a long time. After Calum and Reef started their families, Kemps became the Patriarch of the Zalrian Pod. His number one priority is ensuring the safety of his pod. Kemps was the original Blue Tail Guardian of the Sea. When Alex became a merboy, Kemps passed the power onto him. Reef Kailani Reef is Calum's older brother and Kemps's younger brother. Reef was adopted by Kemps when Kemps was a merboy and Calum was a merling. All three brothers were orphaned at a young age. Despite Human Pollution playing a significant role in the brothers becoming orphans, Reef doesn't pick a side when his brothers argue and debate about humans. Reef neither hates nor likes humans. Out of the three brothers, Reef is the mediator. He’s gotten a lot of experience settling disputes between his brothers. Reef is the Patriarchal Heir of the Zalrian Pod. Should anything happen to Kemps, he's next in line to lead the Zalrian Pod. While most mermen don’t wear any accessories, Reef has a shark tooth necklace. The Shark Tooth came from a close encounter with a shark before Kemps adopted him into the Zalrian Pod. Reef has a close relationship with a lot of sea life, except for sharks. Most merfolk don't play with something that can be so dangerous. Sarah Kailani Calum Zalrian Calum has an unusual curiosity concerning the human world. He’s proud to be a merman as much as he’s fascinated by humans. He's found a balance between his interest in the human world and his life as a merman. While some merfolk might seek out a sea witch to pursue their own interests beyond the sea, he's content with his family under the sea. Calum would never seek more than what he has, but he will always have some interest in things from the human world. Kemps chose to give Calum's eldest son the Power of the Blue Tail Guardian because he didn't want the power to complicate things more between them. Calum's life partner, Arihi, left her life on land and choose to live in the sea as a mermaid. Calum and Arihi sang the song that brought the twins and their eldest son into the world. Calum is naturally family oriented. Out of the three brothers, Calum is the most compassionate and understanding one. Arihi Zalrian Ages ago, Arihi gave up her life as an elemental to be with Calum in the sea. Her sisters and brothers in the spirit realm did not make her transformation permanent. If Arihi wanted to return to the spirit realm, she has the option to do so. Arihi is a Halfling. She is half-mermaid and half-elemental. Most Halflings age like humans do, but her elemental origins allowed her to retain her eternal youth and immortality. Arihi has the ability to take a human form and doesn't need to make a deal with a Sea Witch to walk among humans. Kemps forbids members of his pod from interacting with the human world. Consequently, Arihi hasn't walked among humans for a very long time. Arihi practices light sea sorcery. Her spells require the same payment as dark sea sorcery spells, but they lack the potency to be permanent. When time runs out, her contracts lose their power and the magic tied to it gets undone. Arihi grants a signer's wish for a limited time, and for the most part, this is enough to help whoever seeks her out. Alex Zalrian Calum and Arihi's oldest son. Even though his mother is a Halfling, Alex is a Reef Merman. Kemps gave Alex the powers of the Blue Tail Guardian when he came of age. While Alex loves his ocean home, he wishes to see more beyond the sea. This causes most of the conflict between him and Kemps. He shares his father's curiosity about the human world and often gets too close to humans, breaking his Uncle's Rules. Unlike his father, he isn't content with his life in the sea. As a Reef Merman, he lacks the ability to live anywhere else. Alex is still learning about what it means to be a Guardian of the Seas. No Reef Merfolk can take human form without help, and the help of a Sea Witch often comes with a heavy price few would pay. But, a chance encounter led to a decision that would change Alex's life forever. Alex made a deal with Damion that cost him his voice. While the merboy gained the ability to see worlds beyond the ocean, he no longer has the ability to speak, laugh, sing, or make a sound of any kind. Damion is known for never going back on a deal, and Alex is learning to accept his new life as a mute. Dylan and Zephyr Zalrian The twins that have always been a part of everything from the beginning. I turned back the clock to give them their mermadic childhood I always wanted to give them. Dylan and Zephyr inherited their mother's spiritual connection to Sulani, but they aren't island elementals. Dylan has an affinity for water magic. Zephyr has an affinity for air magic. Dylan and Zephyr are identical twins with no visible difference in their appearance. Despite their identical appearance, they are different individuals. Dylan is a creative prodigy with a talent for capturing the essence of emotions in his artwork. He's gifted with any instrument and can tell epic stories that will trick you into believing they are true. Dylan is aloft with creativity and inspiration. Zephyr is a gifted genius. Only his twin can beat him in a game of chess, and he always notices whatever Dylan misses. He's an inventor and an innovative thinker that can bring out the full potential of many things. Zephyr is grounded in logic and reason. Dylan and Zephyr are inseparable and will rarely be far from each other. Together, Dylan and Zephyr overcome each other's weaknesses with their own individual strengths. The Twins are best friends and extremely close. Kemps recognized their close bond and didn't want to disrupt their relationship with the Blue Tail Guardian's Power. Instead, he chose Alex as his successor. Kylen Kailani and Lir Maelstren Kylen and Lir are Alex, Dylan, and Zeph's cousins. Kylen is Reef and Sarah Kailani's son they sang into being. Kylen had a twin brother named Rylan. Rylan passed away after an unfortunate encounter with sharks. While Sea Witch's can resurrect the dead as merfolk, a mer that dies can't be brought back from death. Not long after Rylan passed away, Lir was adopted by the Kailani when they found him alone in the sea. Lir was a merling in the Maelstren Pod before he was adopted by the Zalrian Pod. A conflict with the Human world left many merlings, merboys, and mergirls orphaned. The orphaned merchildren lost their lives to the dangers of the sea without their parents. When the remaining merfolk fled to the open ocean and deep-water reefs, the new dangers resulted in more orphans and broken pods. In many ways, the Zalrian Pod adopting Lir saved his life. For a merling, Lir is particularly shy and gets most of his confidence when Kylen is with him. The two brothers are jokesters and are notorious for their pranks in the Zalrian Pod. Lir could never replace Kylen's twin brother, but Kylen loves having his brother around. He often tries to encourage Lir to be more confident and supports him the best he can. The Zalrian Pod Social Structure The Zalrian Pod's Patriarchal Line of Succession In the Zalrian Pod, the Patriarch Heirs are always mermen, and the line of succession is determined by age. This is kinda like a legacy, but the heirs do not become the Patriarch until after something happens to the current patriarch. A pod's Patriarch or Matriarch does not need a specific tail. While Reef, Kylen, and Lir are technically adopted into the pod and not related by blood to Kemps, they are able to become the patriarch of the Zalrian Pod. Current Patriarch:Kemps Zalrian First Heir:Reef Kailani Second Heir:Calum Zalrian Third Heir:Alex Zalrian Fourth Joint Heirs:Dylan and Zephyr Zalrian Fifth Heir:Kylen Kailani Sixth Heir: Lir Maelstren The Blue Tail Guardian of the Sea Line of Succession The Line of Succession for becoming a Guardian of the Sea is different from the Line of Succession for becoming a Pod Patriarch or Matriarch. The Six Guardians of the Sea possess voices that resonate with the primordial song that brought the first merfolk into existence. A Guardian of the Seas is always a merman. If a Merman meets the following conditions, an existing Guardian can pass their powers onto them. Must be a Merman or Merboy Must have the same tail color as the Current Guardian Must be a Reef Merman/Merboy Share the same Bloodline Potential Blue Tail Guardians Kemps is more traditional, and his choice was largely influenced by that. Alex was the oldest in the next generation, but he's not the only eligible candidate to inherit the power. The Blue Tail Guardian Bloodline is the only one with multiple potential candidates. Kemps Zalrian (Former Blue Tail Guardian) Calum Zalrian Alex Zalrian (Current Blue Tail Guardian) Dylan Zalrian (When he ages up) Zephyr Zalrian (When he ages up) The Marus Pod Nalani Marus Rio's Life partner and the older sister of the Green Tail Guardian, Anas Mahi'Ai. Nalani was captured alongside Rio. Her capture was largely because she was trying to protect her younger brother. Nalani and Rio are the kind of couple most merfolk strive for. They are close, supportive, and work together to help each other. The Marus pod is one of the smaller and younger pods. Their Pod is organized around Nalani and is one of the rare examples of a pod with a Matriarch. Even though Nalani is the Matriarch, she took Rio's last name. Rio Marus One of the six guardians of the Seven Seas. Legends tell of the six guardians united by one and the power to rule over the seas. Rio was the first of the six Camilo captured. The deep-sea merman then used Rio's Power to cause some havoc for a couple humans on land. Rio's Voice, along with any mermen that are a part of a Guardian Bloodline, has the power to mesmerize, unite mortals with their soul mates, or induce a deadly heart break. Camilo stole, Rio's Voice with Malevolent intentions and uses his necklace as a means to channel the Orange Tail Merman's Guardian Powers. Camilo's ambition is to capture all six of the guardians and use their power to rule over the seven seas. Rio's life partner is Nalani Mahi'Ai, the sister of the Green Tail Guardian. Rio, Anas, and Nalani are all extremely close and make up the Marus Pod. The Marus Pod is a small pod, and despite being soul mates, Nalani and Rio have not brought any new merlings into the world. If they end up having a male merling, Rio's Guardian powers would get passed down to him once he becomes a merboy. For now, the couple enjoy exchanges of affection. Anas Mahi'Ai The Marus Pod Social Structure The Marus Pod's Matriarchal Line of Succession In the Marus Pod, the Matriarch Heirs are always mermaids, and the line of succession is determined by age. This is kinda like a legacy, but the heirs do not become the Patriarch until after something happens to the current patriarch. A pod's Patriarch or Matriarch does not need a specific tail. Current Matriarch:Nalani Marus The Orange Tail Guardian of the Sea Line of Succession The Line of Succession for becoming a Guardian of the Sea is different from the Line of Succession for becoming a Pod Patriarch or Matriarch. The Six Guardians of the Sea possess voices that resonate with the primordial song that brought the first merfolk into existence. A Guardian of the Seas is always a merman. If a Merman meets the following conditions, an existing Guardian can pass their powers onto them. Must be a Merman or Merboy Must have the same tail color as the Current Guardian Must be a Reef Merman/Merboy Share the same Bloodline Potential Orange Tail Guardians Even though Nalani is the Matriarch of the Marus Pod, Nalani and Rio's Children will inherit Rio's Orange Tail. The Marus Pod formed after a recent union. There hasn't been time for a Bloodline to form. Rio Marus (Current Orange Tail Guardian) The Green Tail Guardian of the Sea Line of Succession The Line of Succession for becoming a Guardian of the Sea is different from the Line of Succession for becoming a Pod Patriarch or Matriarch. The Six Guardians of the Sea possess voices that resonate with the primordial song that brought the first merfolk into existence. A Guardian of the Seas is always a merman. If a Merman meets the following conditions, an existing Guardian can pass their powers onto them. Must be a Merman or Merboy Must have the same tail color as the Current Guardian Must be a Reef Merman/Merboy Share the same Bloodline Potential Green Tail Guardians Even though Nalani is the Matriarch of the Marus Pod, Nalani and Rio's Children will inherit Rio's Orange Tail. Anas hasn't found a partner to pass his tail onto. The Marus Pod formed after a recent union. There hasn't been time for a Bloodline to form. Anas Mahi'Ai (Current Green Tail Guardian) The Vatore Pod Caleb Vatore Caleb is Damion's Life Partner and the Patriarch of the Vatore Pod. Caleb was one of the few good vampires that protected humans. After an incident with Vampire Hunters, he lost his life protecting Damion. His untimely demise was not something Damion could accept, and Caleb was resurrected the only way Damion could bring him back. Caleb was reborn as a merman, and like all reef and reborn merfolk, he does not have a human form he can use to return to his life on land. Caleb has embraced his new life as a merman, but he still wants peace between humans and the magic realm. After becoming a merman, Caleb learned some merfolk history from his husband. Almost all the merfolk were driven away from Sulani ages ago by humans that couldn't tell the difference between Malevolent and Benevolent Merfolk. It seemed that the entire merfolk race was on the losing end of a very old conflict with humans. Up until now, he thought the conflict between humans and vampires was the oldest conflict between humans and the magic realm. The Merfolk around Sulani are what the Vampires would become if they continued down their dark path. As a merman, Caleb wants to see the return of merfolk to Sulani and desires peace between the land and sea. More than anything, he dreams of the day his husband returns to what he was before that fateful night. What Damion became didn't escape Caleb's notice, his once kind and loving husband became consumed by something dark after bringing him back from death. Still, Caleb holds onto the hope that Damion will find his way back to the light. He still believes that there is good in him. Even though he knows this is a dream, he refuses to give up on hope. Caleb believes that one day he will see Damion as he remembers him. For now, the days of laying on the shore together remain a distant dream he thinks about, wishes for. Even after everything the humans did to him as a Vampire, he does not hold a grudge against them, and he longs for the day that Damion let's go of his hatred. Damion Vatore Damion is one of the six Guardians of the Seas and a merman born with a natural talent for Sea Sorcery. He mastered the art of Sea Sorcery and can brew every potion and conjure any spell. Many years ago, Damion rescued Caleb Vatore from an ill fate at sea. Damion fell in love with Caleb in that moment. He didn't know Caleb was a vampire, and the merman didn't know about the humans that were actively hunting vampires. For Damion, he never cared enough about the human world to interact with it to begin with. Over time, Caleb fell in love with Damion. While Damion couldn't be on land with Caleb, the two of them met close to the sea. After several dates, the two learned a lot about each other. Damion treasured every moment he had with Caleb. Caleb enjoyed the escape from the shadows vampires dwelled in. During one of their shoreline meetings, Damion learned about how Caleb ended up sinking below the waves. Caleb was among the few good vampires that didn't want to harm humans. A group of evil vampires revealed Caleb's location to Vampire Hunters. The Vampire Hunters didn't know the difference between good and evil vampires, and the coven of evil vampires manipulated them to get rid of the vampires that protected humans. Damion didn't really care too much about the plight of humans. However, Caleb convinced Damion to give them the benefit of the doubt. The merman was moved by his boyfriend's desire to protect humans. Unfortunately, their meetings by the shore were discovered by the Vampire Hunters. The Humans in question didn't even know they were doing the bidding of the very vampires they swore to defeat. When they found Damion and Caleb, Caleb sacrificed himself to give Damion a chance to escape. Caleb promised Damion that he would escape and that they would see each other again. Caleb knew that Damion was too vulnerable on land. Reluctantly, Damion dove into the sea. That evening, the Vampire Hunters brought an end to Caleb. The following days, Damion came close to the shore, looking for Caleb. One night, he heard humans on a pier talking about their victory over the "evil" vampire and how they got a vacation out of it too. Upon hearing this, Damion was consumed by sorrow and hatred. His hatred of humans was born that day, and his sorrow drove him to dive into the depths of Dark Sea Sorcery. Eventually, Damion gathered what he needed to bring Caleb back as a merman. This came at a great personal cost to Damion. The merman's heart was twisted by the darkness he embraced. Damion's eyes lost their sea blue color as the dark magic consumed him. His pendent that marked him as a Guardian of the Sea lost its purple hue, turning obsidian black. Damion grew more obsessed with Sea Sorcery and became the Sea Witch other merfolk feared. And despite his crumbling reputation, many poor unfortunate mer came to him seeking spells. Dark Sea Sorcery allowed Damion to grant their wishes, permanently. While he could always dispel a contract and undo the magic. He never did. For better or for worse, his clients got their wishes with permanent consequences. Only Damion could release them from the contracts that bound the magic, but the Sea Witch coveted everything he collected. Even after Caleb was brough back and the two of them partnered for life, Damion continued to slip deeper into his dark magic. Alexander Goth Ukupanipo Hekekia Ukupanipo was a poor unfortunate soul that made a deal with Damion. He sought the heart of a mermaid that did not share his feelings. Damion was happy to help a fellow merperson, but his magic came at a price that Ukupanipo couldn't pay. Ukupanipo has lost his free will and is bound to Damion by the contract he signed. Ukupanipo has since turned to the darker side of the sea and serves Damion faithfully. He neither feels the warmth of love nor is he bothered by what is asked of him by Damion. The Vatore Pod Social Structure The Vatore Pod's Patriarchal Line of Succession In the Vatore Pod, the Patriarch Heirs are always mermen, and the line of succession is determined by age. This is kinda like a legacy, but the heirs do not become the Patriarch until after something happens to the current patriarch. A pod's Patriarch or Matriarch does not need a specific tail. While Alexander is technically adopted into the pod and not related by blood to Caleb, he is able to become the patriarch of the Vatore Pod. As a cursed merman and Damion's servant, Ukupanipo doesn't have any claim to becoming a Patriarch of this pod. Current Patriarch:Caleb Vatore First Heir:Damion Vatore Second Heir:Alexander Goth The Purple Tail Guardian of the Sea Line of Succession The Line of Succession for becoming a Guardian of the Sea is different from the Line of Succession for becoming a Pod Patriarch or Matriarch. The Six Guardians of the Sea possess voices that resonate with the primordial song that brought the first merfolk into existence. A Guardian of the Seas is always a merman. If a Merman meets the following conditions, an existing Guardian can pass their powers onto them. Must be a Merman or Merboy Must have the same tail color as the Current Guardian Must be a Reef Merman/Merboy Share the same Bloodline Potential Purple Tail Guardians Damion is unlikely to have a potential successor. The Patriarch of his Pod is Caleb and none of their children will inherit Damion's Purple Tail. Instead, their children will inherit Caleb's Orange Tail. Damion Vatore (Current Purple Tail Guardian) The Keahloha Pod Makoa Keahloha A premade I added to my rotational gameplay. Unlike how he is in a new save, I made him a merman. Not just a human turned into a merman. In my story, he's 100% a natural born merman from the sea. This also means that his Ambitious trait was replaced with the Clumsy Trait, and I changed his aspiration to the Super Parent one. He still retains his core attributes though. He's active and family oriented. Additionally, Makoa fills the role as the Patriarch of his own pod, another small pod. Kai, Lano, and Tero Keahloha Kai was born in game. Lano and Tero were created in CAS to complete the triplet trio. Kai is an Innovator, Lano is a comedian, and Tero is dedicated to the arts. Their story will be just beginning and there will be updates to their character bios in the future. The Keahloha Pod Social Structure The Keahloha Pod's Patriarchal Line of Succession In the Keahloha Pod, the Patriarch Heirs are always mermen, and the line of succession is determined by age. This is kinda like a legacy, but the heirs do not become the Patriarch until after something happens to the current patriarch. A pod's Patriarch or Matriarch does not need a specific tail. Current Patriarch:Makoa Keahloha First Joint Heirs: Kai, Lano, and Tero Keahloha The Maelstren Pod Stevie Maelstren Because the Maelstren Pod was organized around a Patriarch, the males within the pod were used as a tool by other members of the pod to gain power. Much of the conflict was centered around the Patriarchal Line of Succession until the pod was no more. After the Maelstren Pod was scattered and destroyed from internal conflict, Stevie lost contact with the other remaining members of his pod, Lir and Calden. Lir Maelstren is Stevie's cousin, and Calden is Stevie's little brother. Stevie was the next in line to become the Patriarch of the Maelstren Pod once the conflict ended. Stevie saved Calden and Lir from the Maelstren Pod conflict, but along the way, he got separated from them and was never able to find them again. While Lir was adopted by the Zalrian Pod, Calden's whereabouts are still unknown. The Merman, Merboy, and Merling managed to survive the pod's destruction by staying away from the conflict. Originally, Stevie wanted to restore the Maelstren Pod. For that to happen, he needed to find a life partner, settle down, and locate his little brother and cousin. When Stevie fell in love with a mermaid, his heart was broken after learning of her betrayal. Torn up by a broken heart, he gave up on restoring his pod. Depressed and alone, he went to Damion for a way to escape his heartache and live a new life. Damion offered to grant him a human form in exchange for the Love in Stevie's Heart. Thinking he had nothing to lose, Stevie sacrificed his ability to find love again in exchange for the ability to take human form permanently. Stevie now lives a life between the land and sea. He's incapable of finding love again, but the loss of Love in his Heart did not corrupt him. Over many decades, Stevie adjusted to life in the human world and learned how to blend in with them. While he lives out his days on land, he always returns to his home in the sea. Among the islanders, Stevie is a known fire dancer and bartender. None of the other humans know he's a merman, and for the most part, he's begun to live a quiet and peaceful life on land. Many humans have fallen for his looks and charm, but the love is always one sided. While Stevie doesn't seek out romance of any kind, he's often hearing the troubles of humans that buy a drink from him. He's learned how to help others through their troubles. Calden Maelstren The Maelstren Pod Social Structure The Mordero Pod Camilo Mordero Anika Briones Ronen Mendez The Mordero Pod Social Structure More pods to be added in the future. The following is a bit of lore I made up for my story. I hope it gives others some ideas.

Find the Build
Hi everyone, I recently found a build on TikTok but no one seems to know the name of the build or the creator. I assume it's made by Maxis themselves because it was on one of the trailer slides on the Steam page (The Build) based on a reverse image search that I did. Does anyone know what's the name on the Gallery? Anything can help.
'Original By' is so annoying
Let's get this straight - credit where credit is due, right? You certainly don't want people copy-pasting other people's buildings as their own work with nothing more than a wallpaper change. But say you paste somebody's five-year-old bar just because you suck at building framework. And you're not just making minor alterations to turn it into a nightclub. It's not long before the changes make it completely unrecognisable. You've added extra floors, deleted 10-million purely aesthetic lights, even altered the wall structure since you are good at that now. Heckaroonies, for whatever reason the original is even deleted from the gallery! And yet it still says 'original by'. If somebody downloads your build, who gets the credit for all your hard work? 'Original by', that's who. Credit where credit is due, but where's my credit?
Suggestions needed creating my own scenario
I am thinking about playing a new story. I have a general idea of the beginning characters but I would like some ideas for my main character to achieve . The setup is a bit fairytale like. An evil witch (possibly an evil vampire ) lives in her castle like mansion with her two spoiled children (age group yet to be determined) The witch obviously wants an easy life and hates chores. She forces a young girl to work for her and do all the work at the house. This young girl is the heroine of the story and the main character. How can she earn a way out of this misery? The circumstances : the young girl has to do all kind of chores. I will be playing with the simple living lot challenge (grow your own food, Of course the with will demand a meal with fresh ingredients every day. ), the dust system and laundry. Perhaps also the lot challenge that makes appliances break a lot so she has more to repair. The witch will have the following traits : mean, snob and self absorbed The young girl will be clumsy, socially awkward and perhaps unflirty. Questions what age should my main character be? A teen with school to attend, a teen and high school drop out or a young adult? Are there any other circumstances to add to her life to make it more challenging? Should I make the girl an occult as well? I am thinking about a werewolf because of the challenge it adds. Storywise this could be a result of spell the witch uses to keep her there. What activities are suitable for the evil witch and her children to spend their time to keep them busy What are the possible achievement for gaining her freedom? So far my ideas for achievements are earning a degree while starting out as a high school drop out Creating some magical jewels to escape the evil witches spells (a plumbob jewel which requires level 10 with a rare crystal grown on a crystal tree Earning enough money with a job to build her own house with basic furniture Finding love that sets her free? Possibly the witches children can come into play as either as possible match or her biggest rivals. (I don't have love struck so no cupids corner available)
