I suppose in this context it's a mix of adapting to existing lots and Sims while creating new ones and just going with the flow.

I am starting to see dynamics and Sims connecting, and I've already noticed several interesting connections or contexts for players with different tastes. I've also had a few hunches about players who might like certain things. I think the creation of some new characters or more lots, (since we have Dina and Victor's at the moment), will help things evolve further.

Going with the flow is something I don't always do as well as others, but you have a really good point. The fun of creativity should be most important. I just get caught up in trivialities sometimes. So thanks for bearing with my rambling.

I have a couple things in the works for Enigma. I've got 3 lots that are WIP, and Fran Landgraab is done. I'm making her BF Sesh DeMarco (He's a tie-in to my yet to be released Egyptian 'hood Shifting Sands) and his best friend Talbot Tutti (child of Rod Tutti which was reinterpreted as a townie in Plot of Land) now. All three will live in Fran's private residence in kissing point. While Fran is rich, she doesn't want to live with the snobs. She wants to live in the fashionable and trendy kissing point district.

I'm looking forward to seeing that lot! It'll be a great way to inaugurate the Kissing Point district! :D

This is what I've got insofar with that lot, it's almost complete, just needs some more furnishings and small touches but yeah. It's a small two bed one bath Empire Victoria house, but as you see the house is not quite fully Empire Victorian. that's because the previous owner, which of course is Malcolm Landgraab, wanted to turn the lot into lofts but decided halfway the monetary investment wasn't worth it and gave the house as a hand-me-down to Fran. Malcolm while evil and quite Trump-like in his ways, does care for his second daughter, oddly more than his first daughter, Mimi.

Sesh DeMarco, Fran's Boyfriend, wants to finish converting the house into lofts, but needs the help of his friend Talbot since Talbot is getting his degree in architecture and agreed to stay with Fran and Sesh to help pay for the renovations. Fran on the other hand doesn't care about the house too much, Fran's just happy that her existence was even acknowledged by Malcolm to begin with, as for most of Fran's life she has been ignored by her father. But I guess one daughter does become the favorite when the other one marries a perverted cheating slob. (Terome Fluke, Plot of Land)

Yay! Green grass! I think that's sweet.

yes, even Sims need to touch grass sometimes.....


But reality is I'm not entirely fond of how shitty the Maxis concrete terrain textures are... they look like puke... Very grey depressing puke, but still puke. But I do get why it is used, because of the Engima story! And plus for Kissing Point I think green lawns, Victorian houses, stereotypical US-Americana crap, but with a twist. An Engima twist... I want Kissing Point to feel different from the other sections of Engima... I really do want it to feel "Welcome to the hipster 'hood" if that makes sense?


All the lots I create for Kissing Point have the same backstory of "Malcolm Landgraab owned it first", but each will have its own twist and stories to fit perhaps their intricate personalities that live within. See, I interpret Kissing Point as the opposite of the poor area and rich areas (we need to think of better names for these areas.... just Sayin'. I mean I get they're still WIP but still would be cool to name something....) and for this lot it's a renovation story, for the others... well you'll just have to wait and see whatever my mind can come up with when I get those other lots closer to finished product.

Depressing is the word I also wrote recently.
But you did a very good map with some lawn zones.

I found few more screenshots resembling in some part its victorian design. That looks so much fantasy for me!







Second house, lookslike pretty much the same as Yinepu's

I love the house! I can't wait to see the new Sims!

Suddenly felt inspired by Yinepu's building and Utena architecture.

I think this is a greek house. I built it in ~ 3 hours. It has two bedrooms and two bathrooms but is unfurnished.

Utena has three letters U T and N. So I called it Ou Tau and Nu likewise in greek.

Both houses are truly amazing! Love how they match

I tried to recreate those dramatic triangle but triangle windows has no diagonal sprite. Is that something with my game or something should be fixed there in general like broken M&G windows?




I want to try another way for those triangle. Any ideas?

Maybe a roof slope is too steep? Maybe a columns are too thicc? I recently thought of those from Celebration pack with flowers but they have no arched ending.

The amount of flowers of Utena from anime is close to insane! Like they had flowers almost everywhere! In coloured glasses, in yard fountains, in floor paintings. They even had bouqets in dueling yard! That really makes so much drama into appearence!

Sunlight goes behind my house so Yinepu's house I guess should be placed on the same lane but opposite.

@Sokisims maybe to furnish it for Shimizu household. Are you okay with that?

I think it's incredible how you were able to capture Utena's style and architecture and blend it with the Yinepu lot's vibe, making them look so good together. I think it's perfect as it is.

Oh shoot today I went wrong way.



Take back my words. Triangles with those dummy faces were bad idea. But I decided to share a shot in case some other changes could have been better.

It really does look very original in gold. I like it.

Yeah colour is nice. But...

Hi guys, I hope you're doing fine!
I didn't really had time for simming up until today, but during the time I was absent I kept reading the thread to check up un how Enigma was turning out!
At the same time, I feel like my sims are a little "Isolated" when it comes to how the hood families should be connected to each other. I thought about how to connect them better with the other Enigma households and this led me to think who my sims's relatives were and if they could be in Enigma Academy or not. What follows is what I've come up with:


Squeaky Ahogara
You probably noticed, but she is based on Yumeko Jabami from Kakegurui. In the anime, Yumeko had a crazy sister and I had an idea for another asian character that can fit the crazy sister archetype and she can be a nice addition to the Shimizu Household (it's the asian sorority, am I right?)

• Sudi Ahogara

Sudi-chan is Squeaky's older sister. She is a senior student in the Shimizu household. She has always been a straight-A student, and her parents constantly praised her while asking Squeaky things like, "Why can't you be more like your sister?"

Maintaining the image of the perfect child was a constant source of pressure for her, and this continued until the day she finally "snapped." She saw something she was never meant to see (feel free to decide whether she witnessed the serial killer or discovered the harvest) and suddenly realized she had wasted her life fulfilling her parents' dreams.

She essentially lost her sanity, but the other girls in the Shimizu household felt pity for her and try to help her whenever they can. She starts the game with 0 hygiene, a room filled with trash, and aspiration failure. (I mean, she is sudicia, if you know what it means in italian). Whether or not she can recover her sanity is up to the player.

Winny has recently taken an interest in Sudi-chan because of what she might know, but has a hard time getting closer to her due to Squeaky's interference.

She and her sister are close, though not especially so. Squeaky cares about her, but the two never truly bonded before Sudi-chan went insane.

The younger members of the Shimizu household also dislike her, as they never knew her before her descent into madness.

She is a knoledge sim and she is in the political sciences major.


Fiebras Chryses

He comes from a rich family and left when he was relatively young, so he likely never discovered the family's secrets before leaving. But he has a cousin that knows ALL about it.

• Lodur Chryses

He is Fiebras's cousin and a freshman. The two hate each other immensely. Lodur considers Fiebras a traitor to his kin and is aware of what "the Harvest" is. He wants Fiebras to become a victim of the Harvest so that he can inherit the family's high-tech farm.

He lives in the Rich Boys household and is studying economics. At first glance, he might seem like the nerd of the group, but he is actually ripped (if possible, set him to max fitness and body skills, and give him a memory of winning a body-related scholarship. His one true hobby is fitness).

He is trying to court Winny because he wants to keep an eye on her, while denying his own attraction. However, she is repulsed by him. Their dynamic is similar to Frollo and Esmeralda, if you get the idea.


I also have ideas for Winny's parents but first I'd like to know if this hood is planning on having Barista service NPCs or not.
Let me know, I hope you like them!

This is great! I also need to upload the characters I've already created but that aren't available for download yet.
