"Oh come on! You can't afford to be picky! Everyone you like is either taken or a lesbian!" (Me to a bisexual Skye Weiss trying to hook him up before he dies of old age, at least I did manage to get him some elixir of life!)

I hope you don't crash, I hope you don't crash (to desktop)

From: "ANGELA! Why are you cheating on Dustin!?"

To: "What the heck happened to your wrist!?"

"Crunch"

I make my sims do yoga a lot, and of course they fall down a lot. This is pretty much how I respond when they do.

"How do people do that?" I mumble to myself as I build houses and want to achieve something specific but just concludes I do not have the skills yet for such things-

"You're married"
"You've woohoo'd"
Every time they scream/get startled by seeing them naked/in the shower...

Ha, yeah. At least with some sims I like to pretend they're doing it on purpose as a joke.


---
Trying to fulfill wishes for an old sim late in their lifespan: "'Buy an expensive stereo'... Oh, I can buy this one, place it out here and sell it later. She won't even know - she'll be dead!"

I'm sure mine are doing it deliberately! They prance around all day in the skimpiest of underwear, and then make out that they're shocked because someone has removed the last fragment of fabric to get into the shower or bath.

Scandalous!

"Oh Gerry! What do you make of your parents?"

Gerry McBain got off the school 'bus to see this:


[EDIT]This is what his sister Glenda saw a couple of minutes later:

Chris Hatch made a mod for more intelligent reactions to nudity, with different reactions based on relation and attraction between the naked Sim and the viewer. It still allows shocked reactions, but also disgust, attraction, amusement, and occasionally what seems to be boredom. No idea where to find it now that BAS is gone, however... He kind of had to make it, given how much some of his other mods increase the frequency of nudity!

I got tired of playing retro-Strangetown (or scared to actually deal with the looming issue of the war and the draft) and decided to temporarily pull most of my retro defaults (some of them are good enough to stay!) and try a nice little cosy murder mystery since mystery hoods are so trendy now. Bayside Flats is so small that it should be calming to play and easy to solve, right? Er...

The first thing I said while playing Bayside Flats:
"What the <BLEEEP>?!? What's wrong with you, Detective Keller? Why do you want to make zombies? Who are these people? They're not the victims..."
It made somewhat more sense when I checked his family tree, and was even a little sweet. However, I'm very glad he rolled Supernatural Skeptic on the trait randomizer and thus has had no further interest in zombies.

"What are you... NO! STOP! Bad girl! Bad girl, Sarah!"
I'd never seen an urn get smashed in my game before, because I'm afraid enough of the consequences to make sure urnstones are in gravestone mode if they have to be on a lot with aspiration failure among the living occupants. Bayside Flats has multiple urns sitting unobtrusively in bedrooms and nearly the whole town is in aspiration failure or near it. Now there's a smashed one sitting on the bedroom floor, which I'm making myself put up with because I do have nounlinkondelete and a mod to prevent autonomous urn cleanup, and because I wasn't sure if it would safely turn to a gravestone if moved outside while smashed.

"Could a child be the killer?"
"Could a teen be the killer?"
"Could a toddler be the killer?"
All of these inspired by terrible behaviour even for aspiration failure.

"That is the scariest Headmaster I've ever seen."
"Papergirls can wear makeup?"
"Are you an alien?"
Yes, Bayside Flats is made with truly clean templates. I am very impressed with the papergirls it has spawned, to the point of wanting to extract one for use in other hoods. Less so with the Headmasters.

"Shagging a suspect. As brilliant as the zombie idea."
"You have the right idea, but get out of the bedroom!"
It really seemed that the lingering welcome-wagon townie was trying to keep them apart.
"Oh, that was cold!"
I'd also never seen that obvious a one-night-stand: Cutscene ends, visitor is already out of bed and dressed, saying it's late while heading for the door. Detective Keller seemed quite shattered by the abandonment.

"Right, throw your sister in the moat."
"Now the street?"
Swinging around can look bad in certain circumstances.

"Oi! Buzz off! You can't bully him; he's a graduate!"

Chandler Platz had returned from his final exam and was waiting for girlfriend Pauline to get back from class before he moved back to the 'real world', when the coach turned up and started yelling at him to exercise.

These remind me of a little Victorian(?) rhyme that I think I learned from my grandmother:

Little Will his mother smote.
Then he cut his father's throat.
As the blood still was spouting,
He cried, "Now I'll get to the Orphans' Outing!"

I've been meaning to PM you, and I'll do it soon, now that I've cleared out enough old PMs to be able to use the PM feature again.

Have you completely abandoned your old long-running dystopian megahood, or are you planning to go back to it again one day? Perhaps when real life has become a little less dystopian. I never really abandon my 'hoods. I intend to return to all of them in time.

Considering my reputation for never harming Sims, it may surprise people to hear that I often enjoyed reading of the happenings in your 'hood. But I never really objected to Sims dying unpleasantly in other people's games when it formed part of an interesting story. (It bothers me more when people seem to be killing Sims simply because they enjoy killing.) And of course don't anybody ever ask me to kill my Sims; my Sims' lives are sacred!

Anyway Freefalldreams, I hope you've been bearing up well during the present real world dystopia! I believe things may improve a bit soon. (Well, for those of us whom the Grim Reaper hasn't taken.)

"Okay, you get in a relationship with Nina, Lily never has to know. Nina never has to know about Lily, either. As long as you only see them one at a time, this can never backfire!"

*Sees Joy at Nina and Lily's house with both home at the same time.*

"What are you doing here? Nina, tell her to leave! No, don't kiss her goodbye!"

"I wonder who they'd be more furious at, their spouse or their shared lover."

In real life, this is when you form a throuple.

"There are other places to be besides this hall, you know."
As the entire Ottomas clan, including their cats and Dora's ghost, cluster at the top of the stairs where their two guests are getting on like a house afire. It took three hours to get the youngest downstairs to eat.

"Stooopid hills" - I said this about Pleasantview, even temporarily renamed it Stupidhillview out of frustration when trying to nhood decorate.

"Don't make me quit to neighborhood." (I had to quit to neighborhood. Stella was stuck drinking from her water glass instead of eating the dinner she'd ordered and nothing else would free her.)

"Gunnar, just come and eat Zoe!"

Zoe had made lunch, but every time I tried to click on a plate of food for Gunnar to go and eat, Zoe leaned forward, so I kept clicking on her head instead.

Why did I think it was a good idea to have the room adjacent to another apartment be the baby/toddler room where they keep getting woken up by a noisy neighbor?

"Stop doing that!!" and of course the Sim keeps doing whatever stupid thing they are doing.

"Are we crashing, or is this a problem with my monitor?"

"Waiting for a wiener isn't going to make this a dream date"

The lady was waiting for someone to serve the hot dogs all while the clock was counting down and she had a want to have a dream date.

21st century:


20th century:
"You have nothing better to do? Go and learn Fire Safety!"

"What the <BLEEP> is going on?!? What's happening here? Oh...no...oh no..."
Bayside Flats was a good choice, although for entirely different reasons than I expected it to. I think I've figured out what happened, though I'm still looking for preponderance of evidence at least. I don't want to spoil it, so I'll just say that it is a very disturbing hood in a somehow satisfying way, especially once the ghosts come out. I highly recommend it!
"Fishing alone won't feed you. Need to cook!"

@AndrewGloria, I actually considered the Orphan Assistance Fund scholarship as a motive for some of the deaths before realizing that it wouldn't be accounted for in a basegame-only hood -- so yes, an Orphan's Outing of sorts.
I don't know about my old megahood. It's neatly packed up and labelled with its Downloads folder in the same place I keep backups, but I suspect that I won't go back to that hood itself, even though I'm almost certain I will have a megahood again if I live long enough. Dystopian elements aside, it is outdated -- I think my highest expansion was Seasons (although I also had Mansion and Garden, leading to a weird install with a bunch of side effects) when I started it, and only in time did it get transferred to the UC when that came out, get switched to ACR v.2 (which requires Apartment Life) then later pick up up some extensive mods that didn't even exist when I started playing it (e.g. traits, custom supernaturals). The Summerdream-Gossamers were just Sims who had basic magic from the non-AL Harry Potter Project when things started, and that made a major difference in events that led to some of the budding dystopian themes. Obviously now they should be faeries from the start, but faeries didn't exist then in TS2. I also learned by blundering, which combined with some mods to also start chains of events that led to dystopian themes. This was happening almost to the end, as the contagious-zombies mod at first had no effective counters to the outbreak other than killing the zombies and allowed for not-very-logical and very overpowered species combinations (zombie vampire ex-NPCs being the worst). If I ever dare allow zombies again, I'll know how to keep outbreak from becoming apocalypse, but it's probably too late for that in the old megahood.
I find it amusing that you think of that megahood as dystopian, as it was never intended to be. It probably sounds even worse when I put it this way, but it was an attempt to take the high drama of Sims (and especially of certain overly dramatic Veronaville families!) and make it semi-realistic to the world I lived in. I was commuting almost daily to an often-cold city with a lot of red brick buildings and a weirdly noir aesthetic, so Downtown SimCity got lot of red brick buildings and weather patterns that made it a rainy-noir city much of the time. The megahood was a less pleasant place to live in than the world I lived in, but I didn't live around Montys, Capps, Goths, or Grunts -- or Princes, or Stratfords. Now that red-brick city has gone from a noir aesthetic through the glory days of a hipster-foodie one, to an empty-shopfronts one that hit before the pandemic due to a rent bubble that didn't pop until properties became so unaffordable that businesses moved out to the strip malls -- and I don't know what it's like now, because I haven't been there in over a year, and the last time I went, it was only to one of the outlying strip malls. Maybe it looks like the Dumptown neighbourhood of SimCity did in the old megahood. The megahood, sitting in stasis, is now better than the world I live in, and yet it feels doomed -- not a good reflection of the fate of Real Life.
I think it feels doomed because, grimdark as it was, it was founded on an optimistic view of people. The sims I made to fill what I felt were gaps are not really Sims I could make now -- maybe cynical parodies of them, but not the idealistic-despite-the-mess characters they were. I can't help but think that all of them -- yes, including the demon -- would have died horrible, pointless deaths in our world in 2020. I sometimes wonder how many of the premades would have done any better.

"You are stupid in the head"
"You are also stupid in the head"
"I didn't ask for that!"

Kinda glad they can't hear me I'm a mean god.

"oOOOoH"
As Ripp Grunt emerged victorious from a fight with Tank.

"I think you're probably pregnant too."

"Get a bubble bath and get some clothes on. Then get a bite to eat and go to bed. And make sure you put your pyjamas on -- don't try to sleep in those undies! And don't do any unnecessary work. I'll tell the boys and your husband to do it for you."

"Victor! Come and clean this toilet this minute. It's a disgrace your mum's having to use such a filthy toilet. Your mum's pregnant so you and Robert are going to have to do a lot more work in the house in the next few days."
. . . . . . . .

"You're not going out dressed like that!" - me to Sims who insist on going outside in their PJs/underwear. Plus a quick rush to the Sim Manipulator to get them properly dressed.

@AndrewGloria I am so excited! A new baby!

"Go away you creep! It's 1:30 am, everyone's asleep!"
Tank's townie girlfriend randomly rang the doorbell at the Grunt's house. Stalker much?

"What are you-- yeah, you had roaches. Get over it. There's a girl in your bed."
(Dude on a date randomly gets up from the bed to sigh over cockroaches)

Hey, random thoughts of roaches really kill a mood!

"Wait, seriously? You can't wait till after the party to abduct her?" (Tina Traveller was initiated into the Secret Society halfway through throwing a party at which she was working on the next notch on her bedpost. I swear I won't have a single unjoined playable at LFT in three more rounds if this keeps up.)

"Just stop it, you both think that you are so smart but you are a bunch of IDIOTS!!!"

Pascal and Vincund Curious drive me crazy with their neat-freakness: I told Pascal to get a bottle for his (toddler) daughter. The little girl was playing with her toys on the floor and he couldn't reach her to give her the bottle and he left it on the floor. Poor girl was not that fast to turn around and get it so after a second he took it back and went to dispose it! He was so hell-bent to clean the "offensive" bottle that I couldn't cancel the action and I had to reset him to make him leave the damn bottle alone so the little girl could finally drink her milk
Later that day, Vincund was teaching his son to walk. Somehow he managed to realize that Pascal's daughter left her toy on the floor and she went to her toddler bed to sleep. Vincund quit teaching his son and he went in Pascal's room to put the toy back in the toybox
Both Pascal and Vincund take turns at being "furious" with poor Lazlo (I love Lazlo :lovestruc ) for making the bathroom look like... Venice everytime he takes a shower

Having four kids was your choice, now stop whining to me about it and change the baby's diaper! ~ They both feared changing a diaper. They also waited about two seconds after their twins were born to make baby number four, so they really have only themselves to blame here.

"If I can't put that there then there is another 'place' I can put it."

I was redecorating and I needed to place an object but the game was glitching out saying something was occupying the tile already.

"Sorry, mate, you've got a toddler. You can't just go to bed when you feel like it."

No! Stop using the back door!

*lock for all sims*

There's a joke in there somewhere... I'm just not willing to point it out... so y'all are gonna have to figure it out on your own...

Well we know what's on your mind...

Its been several months since I've played Sims 2, so I've forgotten a lot of things ACR can do. I think the risky woohoo feature kicked in, because I wasn't expecting for my currently playable Sim to get pregnant.

As soon as she she threw up with the baby question mark I said "Well, I wasn't expecting that. She's going to need a bigger house."

"Ooh, judgy much?" As my game crashes, as Kendall Lawson picks up the phone intending to ask her ex, now engaged to someone else, on a date.

To the landlady: I ​​opened the door to let in some visitors, but that was five hours ago! Get out of my room! It's weird that you go in and see everyone sleeping. And stop grabbing my babies!

"The worst she can say is no"
Her:

"Oh my god, you have terrible taste."
Darren took Cassandra on a Downtown outing after Don Lothario ditched her at the altar. The first thing I noticed was that she rolled wants to kiss Don and marry Don. She was Downtown to get over him, for fricks sake!

"No one asked you!" when a Sim gives their unsolicited negative attraction opinion on another sim.

"No, you're not taking a bath at your wedding party."
"Sure, fine, play mah-jong during your sister's ceremony. I'm sure she's fine with that."
"Why are you here? You weren't invited!" (To that one friend of the bride's who hates the groom, and showed up anyway.)

"Another victim! :D" -- when a sim walks by a lot where one of my sims is working to get a cosmetology badge, which is a prime opportunity for me to amuse myself giving random people silly makeovers with the facepaints etc.

2k down 30k to go!

"Note to self: toga parties and dates don't mix when you have forgotten the relationship web of the invitees."

Castor Nove got a date with Allegra Gorey. Super.

The other members of the fraternity looked bored, so I got one of them to call in a toga party. About 30 Sim minutes later, one of the guests starts slapping poor Allegra round the head!

I had failed to take into account that Allegra was in fact dating multiple people, one of whom was on the toga party guest list...

Final result: Toga Party: "Not Bad" (revenge is sweet), Date: "I don't think this dating thing works for us" (being revenged upon is not).

First night townie outing. It's going well until one of the townies plants herself right outside the door of the active sim's toilet stall, even though there's plenty of room, and won't budge; until finally she says: "I'm taking off now. I've got some things to take care of."

"Well, why didn't you, instead of parking yourself in the restroom, then?!"

"Wow, you need make up. Actually no, that makes you look like a prostitute. You'll just have to live with being ugly. How you ended up hideous when your sister is pretty is beyond me."

"Now give him some facial hair and PERFECT! He's the perfect mix of every creepy guy I've ever met! Now to set him loose on Pleasantview..."

"Wow, look at those eyebrows. What you need to go with those are some sideburns." Me, looking at Porfirio Beaker, Loki's son, who just grew up to teen.

Sim: *Belly laughs at toddler being passed out on the floor*
Me: "What's the heck is so funny about that?"

Sim: *Gets marriage proposal rejected for the third time*
Me: "Again?! Haha. Why no one wants to marry this dude?"

Sim: *Has baby off-screen due to Story Progression*
Me: "Wait, what? Wait, who did you have a baby by? I don't remember making you pregnant. Wait, what?"

Kristen Swanson: "I've got to get a new outfit to wear for my husband's funeral"
Me: "Ok, here's a choice-black dress, small veiled hat, and sunglasses."
Kristen: "Oh, I like! I like! It looks so stylish! I'm the bomb!"
Me: "You do remember that your husband has just died and you're going to his funeral, right?"
Kristen: "You would have to spoil my fun!"

I think I should change my clothing defaults - I am getting tired of that shirt.
(So I do. And go over the top, as usual, and replace every single thing in the clothing catalogue).

Playing - A sim head is floating around, with a black hand and a pair of shoes. Note to myself to change that one.
Another Sim comes by with a handsome blazer and shirt but no legs at all... You too?
And here comes a third one whose arms seem to be missing and another couple of heads floating around...

Oh, well, I think for now I am going to just put the old defaults back. Let me find the folder and swop them around.

WHAT FOLDER? .

Okay, then, all townies, back in your maxi outfits you go. I do not have time for this right now. There is a wedding party today.

"Stupid cow."

"You do know you could just have taken maternity leave, right?"

Jenny Smith wanted to quit her job, which I didn't think was a very good idea with Bigger Bills, even if it is just set to Level One. But it's her life, so I obliged - and she promptly rolled a want to have a baby. Bigger bills, no income and trying for a baby - not a good combination there, Jenny!

"Come on, scare me you coward!!!"
"Ugh, Simon, why are you such a pussy?"

Mortimer Goth rolled the want to see a ghost, and luckily, it just so happened that Simon Crumplebottom was out haunting at the moment. So I had Mortimer chase Simon as he floated around the Goth Manor several times, in hopes that Simon would scare him and fulfill the want.

"Uhhh, about that. You just missed him."
I was playing the Curious family today, and Vidcund got abducted by aliens. Since he had gained a lot of science enthusiasm attempting to summon aliens, the science hobby instructor came to give Vidcund his pass to the Science hobby lot... the literal exact moment he was whisked away to space. Did the hobby instructor throw the membership card into the tractor beam or something?
"Oooh... the cursed pregnancy jingle... Whelp! This'll be fun to explain to Bianca!"
Since Vidcund is dating Bianca Monty, I imagine she's going to have a lot of questions.
"Why can't you make Spaghetti??? ...Oh. Your nephew."
Vidcund complained something was in his way as he tried to make himself dinner. Turns out it was his nephew, Tycho, just lying on the kitchen floor.
"Stop playing chess! A birthday is happening!"
Pascal decided to sit down to play chess right as he got home from work... even though I was having Nervous age up Tycho right then.

"Throw it away, and start again!"

Judging by the amount of smoke, I suspect that might have been a kitchen fire if I hadn't had the "No More Fires" mod.

[EDIT]

"Nothing is in your way! Knock it off!"

"Oh! ...Hi, Mary-Sue..."
Herb Oldie was on a date with someone that was NOT Coral at the park, when I noticed that his daughter was there, playing chess, watching her father cheat on her mother.
"I see she's mad about it, but why isn't she doing any... oh."
I saw that Mary-Sue was angry, judging by her frustrated noises and relationship losses as Herb kept on with the date, but I wondered if she was going to do anything about it, until she dashed up to her dad and started poking him, and eventually ATTACKING him. (She won, btw)
"Good news, Herb! You're not a cheater anymore!"
When Herb went home from his date, I had Coral whip up some Spaghetti for herself... which promptly caught fire. I had forgotten to install a fire alarm, and I couldn't get her to stop panicking and extinguish the fire, resulting in my first unintentional sim death in years, all while Herb was obliviously sleeping upstairs.

"That's what you want!? But you already did that today!"

"Oooh, that's such a terrible idea! Go for it!"

"Edwin! You're absolutely shameless! First you break up her engagement, and ruin her life, then you're chasing her all over town and making out with her in public! What am I going to do with you!"

"That loaded fast!"
"Wait, this house was this small?"
I did something marginally useful for my birthday by installing AGS and trying it out by building the first thing that came to mind, all-expansions but no CC. It's a house I lived in as a child, and because of this, I remember it as bigger than it was. I believe the bathroom was larger than the Sim-version needs to be to fit all fixtures in the right places, due to the real one having an oversized bathtub...but for all I know, it only looked oversized because I was so much smaller. The beds, though, I suspect were proportionally smaller than Sim double beds (European/U.S sizing difference, as well as old beds from when people tended to be smaller), and yet I was able to fit the bedrooms together without anything that looks likely to cause a stompy-fit. I think the doors will stick, but that's realistic enough...
"Still not a starter?" I could have actually built it on a smaller lot. Might try Lot Adjuster for my next feat...
"I miss OMSPs..." Building no-CC is tiring!
"The Travelers would like this!"

"I'm a little scared."

I was testing out some custom cribs to make sure they worked. After the third time I told my sim to take her baby out of one crib and put him in the next one she turned her head and gave me this LOOK, as if to say: 'Wtf, I JUST did this and you're going to make me put him in another new one? I will hurt you.'

I have to sell this bench.
(because shop owner prefers to sit on the bench instead of running her business)

OKAY, NOW I WILL HAVE TO SELL THE CHAIR TOO

No comfort allowed in this sweatshop!

Something like that....

"It's a... GIRLBOSS!"

You have 3 chances to guess what the context was for this

When one sim rings the doorbell while my playable sim is in the middle of wohooing another: Ok, hold on. I'm coming! ... sigh ... I guess I'm talking to both of you now.

"If they didn't like your dirty joke the first time you told it, then they aren't going to like it the next three times you tell it either. So stop telling it!"

I cannot guess what the context was. Please tell us!

"Stop having so many babies!"
I was playing with the story progression mod and it made one of the couples have four children already.

"Why does nobody care that she's dying?"
One of my sims died from starvation and only the pet dog seemed to notice or care.

"Who left half-eaten pizza on the coffee table? Jesus!"

right after this 'exchange'

Me: "Is this clean? no go clean it."
Husband: "Are you talking to me?"
Me: "No, my sim"
Husband: "Is...he going to talk back?"
Me: "No, I'm just telling him what to do. He needs to clean so he can get a better lawyer job, because you know, that's how sims works. (to sim) Go Study cleaning!"
Husband: 'Don't tell me what to do!"

Sadly this phenomenon is not entirely restricted to the Sims could have had this exact conversation with several colleagues.

You do not need more pizza! Fine, be that way. Drown in pizza.
Greek houses lol

"You're going to have to leave those corn flakes or you'll miss school!"

When sims complain all dramatic about being hungry instead of getting food: "Have I hindered you from eating??"
When sims start preparing food for themselves when I want them to wait for someone else or something: "Did I ask you to cook??"

Watching intense flirting between spouses:

"Oh, just go to bed and have sex, already, you two!"

When the woman Dustin is having an affair with calls to invite him over and he asks if he can bring his friend Angela:
"No, Dustin, that's your wife. Don't be an idiot."

And when that same night, the burglar steals the brand-new telescope bought for a Sim on his birthday when he aged up to teen:
"The Pleasantview police are completely clueless!"

"Good GOD! And they say Meadow Thayer is the town hoe!"
No less than three of my teen boys in my neighborhood have double bolts with Opal Raymond, a Three Lakes local everyone keeps bringing home from school. It feels way too easy to make an "Everyone loves (Opal) Raymond" joke.

"I don't care that I found two other bowls of oranges, I want to use that particular vase with oranges. Even if it takes me 20 minutes, I'm going to find it."
Twenty minutes later...
"...I don't think that was worth it. Yeah, I like the other one better."
"Crap, where was that one again?"

"Why did you bring your neighbour's kid with you?"
For some strange reason, Elizabeth Aspir brought Issac Bell with her when visiting Natasha Una.

"Well! This feels like a bad omen!"
Right as I aged Kristina Curious (Vidcund's alien daughter) up to a toddler, the fire alarm for building I was in went off- luckily, everything was okay, someone on another floor just burned popcorn, but still...

"This is the worst possible time to get a pizza!"
(As Hi Thyme stopped cuddling and "visit campus" appeared in his queue between the kiss and the makeout, with less than an hour left on the timer.)

"Why take a sponge bath, when there's a shower right beside you?" (Me to Gilbert Jacquet.)

Me looking at Denis Paquin's wants panel and noticing "have a grandchild"
Me: no chance this will happen.
Denis' daughter Suzanna: Shoo-flee

"Dude, are you seriously not moving cause there's a puppy on your foot? I mean, I understand, but also, you're starving."

"That's a good idea. We'll do both!"

Thanksgiving is not celebrated in the UK where I live, but it is celebrated in Veronaville at the end of November, because I first played the 'hood on 30th November 2012. That means we're now celebrating nine years of health and growing peace and prosperity in and around the town. No one has died here at all in this time. (So in many ways Veronavillians have more to give thanks for than the New England Pilgrims ever had -- a lot of them died in their first year.)

The question was, should we celebrate today, when Americans are celebrating, or should we wait till the 30th, which is the actual anniversary. So I went to 19 Chorus Court, and asked my friend Andrew (who is always in demand at Thanksgiving because he's one of about three Sims in the neighbourhood who knows how to roast a turkey!) what he thought. After a moment's consideration, Andrew smiled and said, "Why not do both?"

So that's what we'll do. One celebration of Thanksgiving today and another one on the 30th!

I often talk to Andrew like this. Sometimes I start up the game, but more often than not, it's all done in my imagination. As well as being a favourite Sim in my game, Andrew also fills the role of my not-so-invisible-friend!

My Sims and I would like to take this opportunity to wish all our American friends a Happy Thanksgiving!

To my sim named Lifts-Her-Tail, "Sorry, babe, no matter how many times you buy books at this bookstore, you're never gonna find a copy of Lusty Argonian Maid here. Wrong game, hon."

"Don't do that, Julian! You'll break Andrew's little heart."

Julian Moltke-Jones and Jack Gill (both unselectable) were visiting new girl Gill Cuthbert because she wanted to be best friends with both of them. Jack was already on the pavement (sidewalk) outside her house, and Julian had just arrived and Gill had greeted him. Without warning, Julian turned to Jack and caressed him on the cheek, causing them to fall in love with each other. Julian and Jack have known each other a very long time, and they were already platonic best friends.

I immediately used the Sim Manipulator to delete the Love and crush flags, and I deleted their relevant memories too. I know that's very cheaty, but I felt it was the least I could do for Andrew. I would have thought Pescado's Romance Mod would have made Julian show a bit more loyalty. It's nearly nine years since Julian started going steady with Andrew. Maybe Andrew and Julian really are a bit young to be married. It must be hard staying faithful at their age, when they live in a community where promiscuity seems to be the norm.

"You... sim."
He got into the hottub right before leaving to go to a fancy restaurant. And not just that, but to get proposed to at a fancy restaurant.

"Gentlemen! There's somebody trying to sleep here!"

When all these Sims trooped up the stairs a couple of hours earlier, I assumed they were going to bed. But when I checked now, this is what I found:



P.S. Kligma, did he go to the posh restaurant in his swimming trunks?
P.P.S. I see from your other post that he did!

"it's nice to see everyone at the shopping center, but I can't move, could you all please back up??"

It's in sims' culture not to move when you stand in the way (unlike normal people). At least they have no crime so they must be doing something right as a society!

"Oh god, not in the toilet, NOT IN THE TOILET!!!"
Marisa Loner was going to use the bathroom when she decided right then and there to give birth to her daughter, Meghan... right while she was facing the toilet...
"But why? I thought you think she's a total uggo?"
Ajay kept rolling wants to flirt with his co-worker and friend, Brittany Raymond, even though the last time I had checked, he had negative attraction to her.
"I'm sorry, LOVE?! "
So I finally decided to humor him, and due to him and Brittany's high relationship, they fell in love with each other, after a single. Fucking. PECK. Ohhhh god, poor Marisa!
