Everyone has something they're nerdy about... for some reason, mine is the eternal garbage heap known as The Sims. (See my personal blog and Custom Content at MyOnline-PityParty.tumblr.com).

Idk, this sounds kind of silly, but I like it when people embrace the raunchiness of the early Sims games. The 2000s had a really unique culture, where raunchiness was acceptable and even encouraged (for the most part).
So it's a shame that TS4 has been scrubbed clean of any risqué content and even removed burglars, ffs. This seems to be ever more prevalent in modern media, where people are pushing for safe content. However, I think that this takes away a part of the Sims' identity. The Sims has always been a little edgy, and that's part of what made it so fun and popular, and why I personally love TS2 and it’s community.
Now this isn’t to say that I agree with everything in the series. There is some problematic content that is best to be left in the past, and that’s reasonable. But I’m sorry, these games were never intended for children. It was always T+, and let me tell you, teenagers are not. fucking. stupid. I feel like ts4 is so condescending it’s funny.
also, on the topic of lisa frankenstien, the best movie of the decade, it has one of the funniest metajokes.
SPOILERS:
She's Frankenstien THE monster. Get it? Like the old thing about "It's not Frankenstein, it's frankenstein's monster? The monster isn't named frankenstein!"
Well now the monster IS Frankenstein metaphorically and literally at the end of the movie!!!
If you don't believe in your reviews of a movie enough to include your full name and street address, then honestly? Shut up. Either you're willing to receive death threats about your bad takes or you're a spineless pussy.
I want colors, goddamnit. I want floral prints! I want bold choices and textures!! I want to walk into a room and say "that's not a choice I would have made but okay" rather than "oh, another grey room, spectacular.", Give me a fucking accent wall!! What happened to animal prints?? When I was 12 we had a high gloss bright purple wall as you walked into my childhood home. Why did we stop doing weird shit???
It doesn't even all have to be bright colors. Let's do dark! Let's do '80s coke den. Let's put on a distressed denim and forest green sweater!
I want interesting visual design on websites again. I'm TIRED of flat. I'm TIRED of modernism. Give me WEIRD and TACKY and DIY.
If I have to endure one more moment of millennial brutalism I'm going to start tracking down white girl influencers wearing beige tops with tasteful french tucks and forcefully tattooing Lisa Frank stickers onto their bodies.

"are you pro-life or pro-choice? Neither, I'm anti-life. I think we should mandate abortions and use the money we would have spent on them kids on building churches in rural idaho where we teach inner city youth about the danger of sniffing glue, how to commit tax evasion, and providing gender affirming care to COCs (Catholics of Color)."
So you're a moderate then...?
sometimes the average tumblr user's worldview is so bizarre that it sort of rounds back out to zero. Like you know they're 100% genuine about their opinions but you literally cannot infer their political standings based on what they're telling you
A while ago I wrote a post about previously unknown sims that existed within the files of The Sims for console by way of leftovers in Bustin’ Out. In that post I had mentioned that there were entries for even more sims in ALLCHARACTERS.rsp.
For further context and elaboration on the process surrounding this, please read my previous post on this here.
So now, here are the remaining lost sims of The Sims for console!
There are still more remaining unused sims though, four as a matter of fact! However…
All four of these remaining unused sims either use CAS parts or colors that don’t seem to exist in the game anymore. When I first started trying to piece these sims together, I thought they were intended for Bustin’ Out, given that there were also a few sims for Bustin’ Out in the same file, but putting them (mostly) together in the original game yielded surprisingly comprehensible results. Like Calen here, who looks pretty great even though the pants he is meant to wear do not exist in the game anymore;
The entries for these four in ALLCHARACTERS also don’t seem to follow the same patterns as other sims that were certainly intended for Bustin’ Out either. The sims intended for Bustin’ Out almost entirely call for the ‘placeholder’ thumbnail, which looks like this:
They also typically call for mesh indexes that number in their thirties as opposed to sims from the original console game who only go up their mid-twenties at most! And their color indexes are typically set at either 1 or 0.
These other four unused sims have fully defined thumbnails (albeit ones that don’t seem to exist anymore🙁), and their indexes only exceed what is known to be in the game by a factor of one. Which leads me to believe that these sims were intended for the original console game, and not Bustin’ Out, and simply used meshes or colors that were removed from the game some time during development.
Circling back to the remaining four unused sims however, here are the rest of them! But please note that these recreations will not be 100% accurate.
For Calen, Laffy, and Rocco, whose lower body mesh no longer exists in the game, I used default pants with the color index listed in their respective entries. While Laffy’s hair color and Marshall’s accessory were left as default.
