5 Facts about Count Vladislaus Straud IV 

@holocene-sims Anna, thank you for sending this in and sparking my inspiration! I’ll be using this prompt as a character-building exercise for Vlad. He has absolutely grown into one of my favorite sims and it was long overdue. Warning, I wrote a lot over the weekend and I enjoyed every minute of it. 

In the pics above, I aged him down to create what he would’ve looked like as a young, gloomy nobleman. This would have been before he became a vampire. I gave him a softer, more melancholic expression, you’ll understand why. He's aged like fine wine, hasn’t he? Human Vlad or Grand Master Vampire Vlad, I can’t choose, I love them both.

Some notes: 

I used the Sims Wiki lore as a starting point but I never force myself to stick too strictly to what is canon with any of my premade sims. The lore gave me some good ideas though.

I kept the timeline vague because I’m pretty ignorant about historical time periods but I imagine Vlad was a human sometime in the 1800s. History buffs, feel free to correct me. I didn’t end up taking more pictures because I have no period-appropriate attire, oh well.  

Content warning: blood, violence, war, murder. He didn’t exactly have a fun human life.

Fact 1. 

Vlad was born into an upper-middle class family in Eastern Europe. His father was a high-ranking military officer, and his mother was a music teacher. As a child, Vlad was pulled in two directions: his mother wanted to cultivate his love for literature and his talent for music, while his father wanted him to follow in his footsteps as a military officer, and take interest in more traditionally masculine pursuits. He grew up in a home that was materially privileged but emotionally chaotic. 

After Vlad came of age, he followed his father’s wishes and joined the military, hoping to finally earn his approval and carry on the family legacy. Reserved, proper and soft-spoken, Vlad quickly found that he did not fit in with his peers, nor did he enjoy the harsh, physically intense, and strict authoritarian environment of the military. The bare conditions of the camps, the long and tiring days, and the constant travel made Vlad disillusioned with the life that he had been pressured to choose, and the career that lay ahead of him. His mother had desperately wished for him to study the arts at university instead, and Vlad would later wonder what life would have been like if he’d been brave enough to take a different path. 

Vlad’s performance as a soldier was poor. His meek personality, his weak physical strength, and his inferior performance made him the target of his peers and his superiors’ bullying. His father’s high status made his incompetence even more humiliating, and worse, prevented him from being dismissed from the military like the other flunkies. 

Fact 2.

One of Vlad’s formative childhood memories was when his father brought home a rabbit he had hunted, and forced the young boy to prepare it for his mother to cook. Vlad remembers being repulsed by the act of butchering the animal while his father instructed him in an increasingly loud and agitated manner. Finally, Vlad vomited from stress and disgust, then his father angrily took over. Vlad left the kitchen but the sound of the knife hitting the chopping block in a rage was heard all throughout the house. Later, dinner was eaten in silence. 

Vlad was traumatized by the incident, but afterwards became morbidly fascinated with animal and human biology, and mortality. He never quite saw the world the same way again.

Fact 3.

Vlad’s time in the army changed him into a tougher, crueler, and desensitized version of himself. He remembers how powerful he felt the first time he fought back against a fellow soldier who had been antagonizing him in the barracks, and won. He had never been one for violence until he discovered how good it felt to beat an enemy into bloody submission with his bare hands. He remembers the stunned silence of the onlookers, and how people acted differently towards him after that. He was treated with slightly more respect, or at least left alone more often. 

Vlad remembers the first time he killed someone in battle. He had downed an enemy soldier on the field with his firearm, and had gone over to check. The man was critically injured and bloodied, but not dead. Vlad then shot him a second time, in the head, at point blank range. He was later congratulated by his teammates who had witnessed the murder. Vlad remembers how the fallen enemy had been a young man, just like him. His face had been frozen in shock, his body convulsing with shallow, panicked breaths as he bled out. Vlad had shot him a second time to end his suffering. Vlad knew the reality of war was to kill or be killed, but he didn’t know if it was more ethical to end someone’s life or merely injure them enough to preserve his own safety. As the battles continued, he stopped caring. 

Fact 4.

During the war, a small team of 25 soldiers, including Vlad, was sent to an isolated, mountainous region (what is now Forgotten Hollow) on a reconnaissance mission to explore the possibility of setting up a military base in the area. While traveling through the woods, the troop was attacked by vampire bats, but Vlad was the only one bitten. Soon after, he became inexplicably pale, weak, and averse to sunlight, to the unsympathetic disdain of the others. He became hungrier than usual, and he found himself strangely fixated on the necks, exposed skin, and bloodied bandages of his fellow soldiers. 

Late one night, towards the end of the mission, Vlad overheard a group of soldiers talking as he was taking a walk by himself around the outskirts of the base camp to get some fresh air. Most of the others had already gone to sleep. Although he felt feverish, weak, and he had a piercing headache, his other senses, like smell and hearing, were strangely sharper than ever before. The soldiers were discussing the troop’s plans to abandon him at the site due to his weakened state and overall lack of competence as a soldier, and to explain away his death as an illness or an accident. Vlad realized this conspiracy to get rid of him had been brewing for a while, and they were going to seize the opportunity while he was mysteriously sick. The oddly small size of the troop and the suspiciously faraway location they were exploring suddenly made sense to him. 

An animalistic rage unlike anything he’d ever felt before took hold of him and he attacked the group, lunging at their necks. The next thing Vlad knew, he woke up in the middle of the campsite at dawn, feeling vaguely injured but not in pain, and surrounded by the drained, mutilated, and semi-devoured bodies of all his former troop members. The air was heavy with the smell of blood and meat. Vlad remembers how he was no longer hungry, weak, or scared. All he felt was a calm realization followed by relief that he had survived the ordeal.

Although the region would not make a useful military base or attractive settlement due to its isolated location and depressing weather, the surroundings did provide a strangely cozy place for a homestead. Surrounded by tall mountains, thick forests, and close to a few small lakes, Vlad had at last found his safe haven. Newly invigorated, he began to dispose of the bodies and the evidence, and build a shelter from the usable camp supplies left behind. It would be a while before the military sent another troop to check on them, and he had plenty of time to think about his alibi and future plans while he waited. No one would ever know what happened on that failed reconnaissance mission.

Fact 5   

War, betrayal, and trauma made Vlad a cruel, violent, and power-hungry ruler of the small town of Forgotten Hollow. At first, when the town was newly founded, he kept his vampirism a secret and fed on wild animals and livestock. As the decades went by, and more people settled into the town, he became bolder with terrorizing the residents, feeding on humans, and turning humans into younger and weaker vampires under his control. He also returned to the aristocratic lifestyle he had before his military service, building a mansion for himself and pursuing his interests in reading, music, and art. He cultivated the appearance of a charismatic, worldly, and well-groomed gentleman to covertly move through human society, and to better seduce and disarm his victims. 

Vlad’s reign of terror only came to an end when the other vampires in the town, particularly the Vatore siblings, banded together to overpower him and report him to the International Council of Occult Beings, a council headed by the world’s most powerful occult beings to govern the supernatural population. After a lengthy trial, as punishment for breaking numerous Vampire Code of Ethics laws, Vlad’s vampiric abilities were severely restricted by magic, he was exiled from Forgotten Hollow, and forced to live in the supernatural community of Moonlight Falls where he would be monitored and unable to act with impunity against a vulnerable human population.    

In the aftermath of his trial and punishment, Vlad is content to turn over a new leaf. He admits that at some point, his descent into depravity was no longer justified by his past. All he can do is resolve to change for the better, and he knows there will be harsher consequences from the Council if he does not obey their laws. He is even thankful to have the opportunity to rediscover the humanity and softness he once had a long, long time ago. He knows the regret and guilt he feels are signs that there is hope for him. Still, he wonders if the monstrous, evil side of him, the side of him that delighted in causing pain and terror, can ever be fully put back in its cage. He thinks it’s best if he isolates himself in his mansion and stays far away from everyone. 

These days, Vlad’s favorite pastimes are playing classical pieces on the piano, reading books by candlelight, and sipping on chilled packs of ethically sourced, cruelty free, non-human-based plasma from a wine glass.

NSB (Straud Legacy) Gen 9 Ep 24: Good Vibrations

Luigi lost his relationship due to lack of quality time, but back at the townhouse his relatives spending the most time together were bonding anew.

Tess and Hunter’s friendship had slowly deepened, and midway through a date night activity they had gone to “on a whim”, the unexpected couple decided to put their cards on the table and give this new direction for their relationship a real shot.

---------------------------------------------

Tess was technically only a bit older than the other Britechester residents, but she’d been “born” into immediate responsibility for her younger siblings in Great Grandpa Chance’s household, and that lack of childhood freedom of her own made her distant cousin’s passion for life very attractive.

For his part, Hunter found her unique no-nonsense outlook refreshing and was invested in seeing where they could go long term.

His tentative questions about the physical compatibility of flesh and steel revealed that this was actually a topic Tess had put some thought into and had even explored a bit while dating Julio. Her offer to show him exactly how it worked caught him by surprise and captured his imagination.

---------------------------------------------

Luigi had just left for an e-sports event, and when the eager couple realized he had the house’s only full-size bed, they decided to borrow it “quietly”.

They turned out to be extremely compatible, and Luigi was almost due back by the time Hunter had to call for a break.

---------------------------------------------

Their experience together had made them both doubly certain they wanted to pursue their relationship long term, but Hunter was worried about how Tess’s creator and his great-great-grandfather might take the news when he stopped in to tune up his eldest daughter’s mechanics.

It turned out Chance’s reaction was a hearty laugh and well wishes for the couple. He explained that having spent centuries married to his father’s best friend, he was the last sim who would throw stones at others finding love in unconventional and complicated places!

He promised not to breath a word to Hunter’s overbearing parents until they decided how best to handle that revel, chuckling all through Tess’s maintenance and his trip back home to his second chance love in Strangerville about the nervous self-consciousness of young lovers.

---------------------------------------------

In no time a sturdy new double bed was installed in Hunter’s room. No more sneaking into Luigi’s for this couple!

Although they were sure they wanted to take things as far as they could, neither of them were in a rush to commit to exclusivity just yet.

It’s not like they would lose track of each other, living under the same roof, and both young Sims were keen on the idea that the college scene was an excellent place to gain wider romantic experience. Sharing their learnings with each other regularly was something they both looked forward to!

Max out the Piano, Singing and Violin skills

Story: You are new to Forgotten Hollow. You are a young vampire with a lot of dreams- primarily you want to start your own vampire coven and become the greatest musician of this time. There you find three other vampires and you make it your goal to get close to them. They help you learn how to be a vampire and hone your skills. One of them falls in love with you along the way.

You start your coven and marry, that is when a mysterious vampire swoops in something about them attracts you in a physical way that you cannot resist. Without realizing how deep your consequences go you end up pregnant/getting them pregnant. Not wanting to continue the affair as you love your spouse you end things shortly after finding out. They disappear after the birth of the child with hatred between you two.

You take in the child and tell your spouse of the affair, initially things are rough but you both work it out. Raising your family as if the affair never happened, not wanting it to affect your relationship and the children.

Do not marry until you complete your 2 aspirations

Have only one child

Max out the Painter career then quit and work on creating portraits for the family and turned sims

Retire to a loft in San Myshuno (blade vibes)

Have a negative relationship with your oldest half sibling

Create 4-5 vampire offspring to add to the coven

Max out Painting, Charisma, and Pipe Organ skills

Story: You were the creation of an affair between your mother/father and an unknown vampire they will not speak about. You don’t even know if your other parent is alive with how little is spoken about them.

Watching your mother/father interact with their spouse as if the affair never affected them bothered you a little. Shouldn’t there be some trust issues there? Still you were at least grateful that your step mother/father always treated you as their own.

You were surprised when the time came you were elected to be the leader of the coven when they were ready to retire. This elicited the rage of your older half sibling who believed as the eldest child of both the heir and their spouse deserved the title. You never were able to get along with him. With the oddness of your creation and the tension between you and your sibling you grew to have a hard time getting close to others. Focused on your skills as an artist and improving the coven to impress your parents you did not bother with romance until you felt satisfied with where you were. Even then you waited until you found your perfect soulmate.

Generation Three

Aspirations: Serial Romantic, Villainous Valentine

Traits: Heartbreaker, Egotistical, and Evil

Career: None

To Do:

Have a child with a married sim (If they born not a vampire turn them when you can)

Have a negative relationship with your parents and children

Never get a job (using the funds of the past two generations)

Get romantically involved with everyone in the Coven (besides family obviously) and have another child with one of them

Leave one of the Coven members at the altar

Never marry

Get a butler to raise your kids (rarely interact with them if it can be helped)

Retire to Sulani taking the remaining money and leaving only 100

Max out Charisma, and Mischief skills

Story: You knew of your power as a vampire so why should you not flaunt it? You can do whatever you want!

Being the only child you were destined to take over for your mother/father unfortunately for them. With a terrible relationship trying to control you, they hesitantly handed over the title. You personally did not care for the responsibilities that came with being Coven leader but at least it gave you access to other hot vampires which you took full advantage of even leaving one of them at the altar for a good laugh.

Getting pregnant/getting others pregnant including a celebrity was not part of your agenda so you never bothered being a parent leaving a butler to deal with them.

You also never bothered to work because why should you waste your immortal life working normal human jobs? Bleh! Plus you have the wealth from your predecessors to spend! Once your children were old enough you threw the title of Coven leader onto them and left taking the remaining fortune with you to live your days in Sulani continuing your crazy lifestyle.

Generation Four:

Aspirations: Fabulously Wealthy, Renaissance Sim

Traits: Self-Conscious, Serious, and Perfectionist

Career: You choose!

To Do:

Have multiple careers of your choosing and work on skills associated with each career (each job must get to at least lvl 5 before quitting)

Have your only Good friend be the heir of generation 2

Start with negative relationship with all Coven members and fix all relationships to acquaintance/friend (no higher and you will have to cheat to set relationships to negative)

Marry another vampire (randomly generated or create one)

Have twins(cheat this) and have strict dynamic with both

Retire in Forgotten Hollow and train any future vampires quitting your job

Achieve at least level 5 in 6 different skills

Story: So your mother/father was a little crazy and went off the deep end. Now you have no money and leaving you with a list of enemies because of their selfish actions. Lucky for you not EVERYONE hates you for being the child of a disappointment, your grandmother/father seems to be the only one who realizes you’re not your parent.

Now being forced as Coven leader you know you have a lot to fix and make-up for, which explains your overly serious manner. But deep down you’re super self-conscious it's not easy having everyone's eyes on you, including your great grandparents. Luckily as you started to accumulate wealth and impress with your wide variety of skills people started to hate you less and less. You even get married to another vampire even if you don’t really love them but they have a powerful bloodline that you wish to add to your own, everything for the sake of the Coven right?

When you finally feel satisfied with repairing the damage of your parent you decide to remain in Forgotten Hollow acting as a trainer to all current and new vampires who will join the Coven.

Generation Five:

Aspirations: Body Builder, Super Parent

Traits: Practical, Sporty, and Brilliant

Career: Athlete

To Do:

Max out the Athlete career and obtain all Vampiric Strength skill

Marry and turn your highschool sweetheart

Have at least 2 children and adopt 1

All children must max out all skills (from infant-kid)

If this sim has a opportunity to graduate early take it

Win a spar against each member of the coven

Retire to a modern gothic mansion in Oasis Springs

Max out Fitness, Parenting and Logic skills

Story: You grew up to be a very practical child. Your parents taught you to be nothing like your grandmother/father. They both wanted you to be the very best and had very high expectations of you which in truth you did not mind you always knew you were capable of impressing.

You were smart and fit, probably the envy of many. While you may have had many sims throwing themselves at you, you only had eyes for your highschool sweetheart marrying once the both of you became adults and turning them as your parents wanted you too. You had kids and even adopted one, you wanted to give them all a great start to their immortal life. When you were not working out or at work you put your all into raising your children, while you were not as strict as your own parents you raised them with a bit more love than you received.

When you were at your strongest you challenged the entire coven and won! Secretly reminding them who is in charge.

Generation Six:

Aspiration: Computer Whiz, Good Vampire

Traits: Squeamish, Geek, and Likable

Career: Tech Guru, and Video Making

To Do:

Never feed on a stranger and only ask for permission if you do feed (even after you complete the good vampire aspiration)

Max out Tech Guru career

Reach at least 1,000,000 followers

Make at least 2 good friends and 2 enemies (only drink from these 2 sims )

Acquire all Sun Immune skills

Do not take withered stomach or sleep of the undead weaknesses, Do take Guilty drinker

Marry someone from the Coven, children up to you this generation

Retire to Windenberg in a normal mansion

Max out Gaming, Charisma, and Media Production skills

Story: Unlike the rest of your family you could never imagine life without technology, it's about time we go out with the old ways. In truth you don't even like being a vampire it’s always plasma this, plasma that! You never really understood it because frankly, directly drinking plasma is gross, you don't know where that sim has been so you only drink from people you trust.

You find out being on technology all the time you turned out to be quite popular, people liked watching you and your high quality videos. Who would have thought a vampire who pretends to not be a vampire and a technical genius would be so popular? Despite not really paying too much attention to the Coven you’re supposed to lead as you’re focusing on your million plus followers and pretending you're human you do end up falling in love with one of them and marrying. Even if they’re all vampy you love them!

Generation Seven:

Aspiration: Jungle Explorer, Archaeological Scholar

Traits: Clumsy, Heroic, and Short-Tempered

Career: Part-Time Jobs only

To Do:

Visit Selvadorada at least once every two weeks

Marry someone you meet while visiting Selvadorada (turning them of course)

Have at least 2 children

Max out Selvadorian Culture, and Fitness skills

Create 2 vampires and add them to the Coven

Visit Gen 2 at least once a sim year and have a negative relationship with the Gen 3 heir

Retire in a Gothic Castle in Willow Creek

Story: Your parent was a bit of a public figure, which you always managed to stay away from and while also disagreeing with their “human” lifestyle. You’re determined to be a good leader for the coven and you’re very protective- enemies of the coven are treated with full hostility from you, mostly that aloof third leader. As a young adult just when your parent is about to retire, you decide to take a trip to the jungle to mentally prepare yourself for stepping up as the leader.

There you fall completely in love with Selvadorada culter, even falling in love with one of the locals. Once you’re married and return to lead you continue to visit as much as possible with your spouse that is why you only work part- time between the trips, and kids it's all you can afford plus the two new bloods you created. Why haven't the past leaders since Gen 2 created a new vampire besides their spouse is beyond you! That is why you only ever bother to visit them, to you the only competent leader besides you of course.

Aspiration: Academic, Bestselling Author

Have 3 or more children

Max out Writing Career, then switch over to freelance writer/or just royalties

Retire in a witchy cottage tucked away in Hendford on Bagley

Story: The Coven is practically ancient by this point and does not need an active leader. You have always wanted to experience college life and so you do. Moving out temporarily you live on campus while your sibling runs the Coven for you promising to return once you finish your degree. Before you return though with your university boyfriend/girlfriend who you used to have a hatred turn to love with, visit the vast fields of Hendford on Bagley. You love the animals and the peacefulness of the place wishing you could just hide away here writing books for all your immortal life.

But you do return to Forgotten Hollow begrudgingly.

Despite your eccentric nature you do make for a good leader. Your Coven loves you even when you constantly hide away in the works of your own writing absent most of your reign. They will miss you when you retire to the woods as you always wanted.

Have only one child

Retire in a haunted lighthouse in Brindletone Bay (the museum make it a home)

Story: You grew up always watching ghosts move about, but no one really believed you. Which you found ridiculous being vampires and all. You were determined to prove them wrong one day, so you immediately went to work honing your medium connection and intentionally moving into a haunted house. There you managed to make contact with a ghost who you fell in love with, the problem is they're dead… more dead than you. While having a ghost wife/husband is cool and all you crave intimacy so with your gardening skills you managed to concoct a death flower bringing your long dead lover back to life just to curse them with your own form of death, yay!

Just like @sims4lizzyuk version Generation 10 is up to you!

Continue the story! Gen 10 finds renewed passion for the coven and continue to run it

or

This is the final generation! Gen 10 seeks out the vampiric cure , growing old and passing in peace.

Sims Challenge Wednesday: Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines!

Hi all! We’re putting the usual Newcrest Adventures updates on pause for a week because I recently finished a little project I’ve been working on for a little while now -- doing Sims 4 challenges for two of my other favorite video games, Vampire: the Masquerade -- Bloodlines and Fallout 4! Yes, I’ve mentioned wanting to do this before on the blog, and now, finally, I’ve completed the initial drafts of each challenge! And I figured, who better to share them with than all of you. :) So let’s start off with the VTMB challenge!

(Oh, and note -- yeah, I just saw in the tags that someone’s actually come up with a VTMB-inspired Legacy challenge for The Sims 4. Mine’s a completely different one-generation challenge, but I am intrigued to see what’s going on with the Legacy version!)

VTMB SIMS 4 CHALLENGE

Premise: It all started out so well – a night out at the clubs, a flirtatious wink across the dance floor, a trip back to a seedy hotel room to get it on with your new partner. . .and then suddenly, in a mix of pain and pleasure, you find yourself lacking a heartbeat. And then some other people storm in, and you find out that:

A) you have been changed into a vampire

B) the person who changed you did not have permission to change you into a vampire

Your “sire” is put to death for disobeying the laws of the vampire underworld – but the rulers of your local city decide that you can be allowed to live. So long as you run a bunch of errands for them, of course. . .your only way out? Make some allies, make some money, gain a ton of power, and keep your head down until you can kick every one of these people’s asses personally. That is, if you (un)live that long. . .

This is a challenge loosely inspired by the experience of being the Fledgling PC in the video game Vampire: the Masquerade – Bloodlines. The goals are to become a Grand Master Vampire, graduate from a shitty apartment to a decent one, and defeat a bunch of other vampires in duels to prove yourself.

Packs required: Vampires, Get Together, City Living, Eco Lifestyle, Island Living, Cats & Dogs/Cottage Living

Your Sim: Create your “Fledgling” in CAS. Your Fledgling should be a Young Adult. You may start them out as a vampire to start the challenge immediately, or start them as a human, make a sire for them, then have them changed in-game to gain a few days to build skills and enjoy sunlight. (Remember that the sire must be killed after your Fledgling starts their change! I recommend locking them outside in the sunlight.) The challenge starts the moment the Sim transforms fully into a vampire.

Each Fledgling vampire in Bloodlines belongs to one of seven clans – Brujah (clan of rebels and brawlers), Gangrel (clan of loners and animal lovers), Malkavian (clan of mentally ill people and oracles), Nosferatu (clan of warped looks and computer specialists), Toreador (clan of lovers and artistes), Tremere (clan of magicians and scholars), or Venture (clan of leaders and those of rarefied tastes). Pick one clan for your Fledgling and assign them an appropriate personality trait –

Brujah – “Hot-Headed”

Gangrel – Either “Cat Lover,” “Dog Lover,” or “Animal Enthusiast”

Malkavian – “Erratic” (you may sub in a custom trait for mental illness if you have one)

Nosferatu – “Geek”

Toreador – Either “Art Lover” or “Music Lover”

Tremere – “Bookworm”

Ventrue – “Snob”

Optional: Also assign your Fledgling the “Kleptomaniac” trait as, in the original Bloodlines game, you do end up stealing a lot of stuff to sell to vendors for quick cash.

Optional: If you’re strictly following how vampires work in Bloodlines, leave your vampire’s Dark Form identical to their normal form except for their fangs (except if you’re playing a Nosferatu – then instead customize the Dark Form to look like their post-transformation Orlockian-self (think Straud’s Dark Form) and have the “regular” form be the disguise they wear around humans to fit in). However, if you really want to do a custom Dark Form, I’m not going to be the one to stop you.

Their World: Set up the rest of the save file according to the below guidelines:

Your fledgling must live in a terrible apartment in either San MyShuno or Evergreen Harbor. This apartment must have a low-quality bed, a low-quality kitchen, a small low-quality bathroom, a TV, and a desk with the cheapest laptop. It must also have at least the “Filthy” lot challenge. Upon moving there, set their starting money to $100 (this is the amount they got for expenses).

Make or download at least three or four other vampires (depending on if you want to use the premade Vladislaus Straud or not) and make sure that they live in nice apartments/houses and are at least Master rank (cheats are totally allowed for this). These vampires must all be part of the same club (your choice for the name), with one chosen as the leader – this is the club that “rules” over all the local vampires and is making sure your Fledgling doesn’t step out of line. Set them up to meet regularly either at one of their homes or at an appropriately-kicking nightclub. Club activities are at your discretion, though remember – if they’re in public, they shouldn’t break the Masquerade by showing off powers or drinking plasma!

Make one “Independent” vampire and set them up however you wish, though they must be at least Master rank as well. They may be important to your Fledgling later!

Make sure you have at least four nightclubs (obviously they don’t have to all be in the same world) for your Fledgling to visit on the regular.

Goals:

Your Fledgling is looking to complete the following:

Become a Grand Master vampire, with all the power and perks that entails

Complete the Master Vampire aspiration (they may work on other aspirations as well)

Earn at least $5,000 simoleons

Move into better digs (either a better apartment or their own house)

Defeat all the members of the ruling club of vampires in Vampiric Duels

Rules:

Your Fledgling is not allowed to get a normal job, as per the rules of the council. Your Fledgling is only allowed to earn money by selling items they have made or found (or swiped, if they have the right trait) to other Sims, or by doing Odd Jobs. Any Odd Jobs that your fledgling finds that come from the ruling council (that is, if you see their picture by the job description) must be prioritized.

Your Fledgling may drink from plasma packs both purchased and homemade, but cannot use plasma fruit while the challenge is ongoing. (This means no doing the Good Vampire aspiration until you’ve completed your goals!)

Your Fledgling may drink from Sims, but must not break the Masquerade in doing so. They must either isolate the Sim they choose to drink from and compel them for a drink; or they must isolate the Sim and flirt with them at least five times before asking for a drink (to make it seem like they’re asking to make out or woohoo instead of drink their plasma). Either way, they must not be seen feeding by other Sims. The Fledgling is allowed five slip-ups – after that, the challenge is failed and they are put to death.

Your Fledgling must get to know the ruling vampires – a friendly relationship, however, is very much not necessary. They are going to be battling them sooner or later for the right to live life on their own terms!

Your Fledgling must follow the rules of their clan when purchasing powers: All vampires may purchase the Garlic Immunity, Vampire Creation, and Child of the Moon powers. Brujah vampires may purchase the Detect Personality, Vampiric Strength, Vampiric Slumber, Supernatural Speed, and Influence Emotion powers. Gangrel vampires may purchase the Bat Form, Vampiric Strength, Vampiric Slumber, Dampened Emotions, and Beyond The Herd powers. Malkavian vampires may purchase the Cast Hallucination, Command, Irresistible Slumber, Deprive Needs, and Influence Emotion powers. Nosferatu vampires may purchase the Eternally Welcome, Vampiric Strength, Irresistible Slumber, Odorless, and Mist Form powers. Toreador vampires may purchase the Eternally Welcome, Vampiric Charm, Mesmerize, Supernatural Speed, and Influence Emotion powers. Tremere vampires may purchase the Occult Student, Command, Manipulate Life Spirit, Deprive Needs, and Immortal Pleasures powers. Ventrue vampires may purchase the Detect Personality, Command, Mesmerize, Dampened Emotions, and Beyond The Herd powers. No vampires may purchase the Sun Resistance or Tamed Thirst powers.

Your Fledgling must also follow the rules of their clan when it comes to weaknesses: All vampires must purchase the Withered Stomach weakness – human food is indigestible to them. Brujah vampires like to rebel and fight – they should get into a fight with another Sim at least once every three days. They may fight the ruling vampires, but it doesn’t count as “defeating” them until they do it in an official vampire duel. They are also encouraged to purchase the Sloppy Drinker or Insatiable Thirst weaknesses. Gangrel vampires prefer open spaces and animals to being around people – they should have at least one pet (probably a cat or dog, although if you think you can fit a chicken coop or animal shed into their final home. . .) and prioritize socializing with that pet over socializing with other Sims. They are also encouraged to purchase the Uncontrollable Hissing or Undead Aura weaknesses. Malkavian vampires must deal with their madness – they should indulge their whims as much as possible (no matter how little sense they make – hell, the less sense the better), and you’re encouraged to let them do their own thing as much as possible as well (full autonomy on, people!). They are also encouraged to purchase the Uncontrollable Hissing or Fitful Sleep weaknesses. Nosferatu vampires are all warped by their curse into visions of pure ugliness – they should stay in their Dark Form as much as possible and only “put on their human disguise” to go to a club – and even then, they can only “keep up the illusion” for four hours. Being seen on a community lot by a large group of mortals in your Dark Form is a Masquerade violation, so keep track of the time! They are also encouraged to purchase the Dayphobia or Undead Aura weaknesses. Toreador vampires are mesmerized easily by what they personally consider beautiful, and are also a little more sensitive to the fact that they’ve become undead monsters – they should spend as much money as they can on beautiful artwork for their homes every three days, and spend most of their time admiring lovely objects and/or Sims when they’re out and about. They are also encouraged to purchase the Guilty Drinker or Eternal Sadness weaknesses. Tremere vampires are insular and ill-trusted by other vampires, and are so focused on their scholarly pursuits they lack physical fitness – they should not bring any of their relationships with other vampires up above “Acquaintance” (barring the Independent, see below), and should not improve the Fitness skill (or any other physical sport-related skill) above 5. They are also encouraged to purchase the Sloppy Drinker or Dayphobia weaknesses. Ventrue vampires may only drink from certain kinds of people – they should pick a distinguishing feature (hair color, eye color, personality trait, etc) and then only drink from Sims with that trait. They may drink regular plasma packs, but cannot drink ones made from fish or frogs. They are also encouraged to purchase the Guilty Drinker or Insatiable Thirst weaknesses. Optional: Your Fledgling can take the Thin-Skinned weakness no matter their clan, but I actually wouldn’t recommend it – while it fits with the World of Darkness lore, your Fledgling is going to have to be active during the day for their Odd Jobs most likely. Basically, take that one at your own risk!

Your Fledgling may befriend your Independent vampire – in fact, this is encouraged, as the Independent vampire can teach them a new power! Upon becoming friends with the Independent vampire, your Fledgling may learn one “out-of-clan” power that does not conflict with any of their weaknesses.

Your Fledgling must visit a nightclub once every three days to socialize, dance, and generally pretend to be human. If they can find a way to make money at the club or discreetly feed, even better.

Your Fledgling must “officially” defeat all members of the ruling vampire club in Vampiric Duels in order to break their hold on their unlives. Once this is accomplished, they may get a Freelancer job or sell things direct from inventory instead of to other Sims to pay the bills, as they are no longer under the club’s thumb.

Optional Hard Mode – Four Factions: There’s not one club, there’s four – and none of them like each other! Make three extra clubs, each with at least four vampire members, to represent the four main factions of the original game – the Camarilla (the “official” vampire government, kind of stodgy), the Anarchs (rebellious and looking for more freedoms), the Sabbat (want to revel in their monstrous nature), and the Kuei-Jin (Asian “vampires” who are trying to take over the area; feel free to make them a different kind of occult altogether!). Your Fledgling may choose to join any one of these clubs, or none of them. If they join a club, they have to defeat the leaders plus one member of each of the other clubs in Vampiric Duels to earn their freedom; if they go Independent, they just have to take down all four leaders.

Optional Hard Mode – Limited Map: Your Fledgling can only travel between the worlds of Evergreen Harbor (Santa Monica), San MyShuno (Downtown L.A.), Del Sol Valley (Hollywood), and Mt. Komorebi (Chinatown – it’s the closest we’ve got, just stick to the more city-like neighborhood). Their initial bad apartment must be in Evergreen Harbor, and they must upgrade to one of the best apartments in San MyShuno.

Optional Hard Mode – The Sequel: Your Fledgling is actually the protagonist of the ever-in-production Bloodlines 2 – aka, they’re a Thin-Blood, and their Embrace was REALLY illegal. Adjust the rules as follows:

Thin-Bloods often don’t show signs of any clan, but they are generally hunted and killed just for existing. If you have StrangerVille, I would recommend the “Paranoid” personality trait, but otherwise, customize them as you see fit.

After buying their shitty apartment, you must set their starting funds to zero – they did not receive anything for expenses, because. . .

They’re not under the thumb of the ruling vampires, they’re on the run from them. To be caught is to be killed, so your Fledgling must avoid their notice. Do not attempt to interact with them before you’re powerful enough to take them on, and avoid any Odd Jobs that come from them. (They may still talk to the Independent vampire, who doesn’t care about the politics.)

Their lack of clan means they may choose from almost any of the available powers (aka, anything but Sun Resistance and Tamed Thirst), but must have double the points needed to buy them before they can purchase them (due to their weak vampire blood). They also cannot sire new vampires, so they cannot take Vampire Creation. Befriending the Independent vampire allows them to purchase one power for normal cost.

#sims 4 #vtmb #sims challenge #vtmb sims 4 challenge #I'm reasonably happy with how this one came out #it worked a lot better when I stopped trying to match specific Bloodlines disciplines to Sims 4 powers #and decided to go with 'what feels right for each clan' #please remember this is my initial draft #this hasn't been playtested or anything yet #please feel free to tweak and make adjustments and whatnot #make it so it's playable for you #it's supposed to be fun after all :) #and I think it captures the main thrust of the game pretty well! #also yes figures I'd finally get this done just as someone makes a VTMB Legacy #though I am very curious to see how that works! #queued

🎃 Happy Halloween! 🎃

I've been really enjoying all the spooky sims content and can't wait to download the treats once they're up for everyone! Simblr is so talented and I love seeing how imaginative this community can be. I myself was not able to participate in Simblreen this year but am working on a couple treats today! They'll either be up tonight or tomorrow, sorry they're kinda late but I only just decided to do them now that I've got some unexpected extra free time lol. Unfortunately because of that there won't be any new Straud legacy story posts until next week.

If you're celebrating today I hope you have fun and stay safe out there! All my love 🖤🖤

♢ What is this?

I feel like I need a masterlist, with everything linked in one place, in a post, for mobile users.

Please note that my Wordpress is always updated first and follows a schedule, but my Simblr is on random uploads in the queue! If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to drop me a message here or on the forums (both are linked below). Thanks! ^~^/

By the way, I decided only to include the link to wordpress for the ToC instead of the chapters. Actually, I might remove the ToC from the information posts and just update them here 🤔 Thoughts?

the lamia geminae challenge / the twin vampires challenge

It was a Sunday when you got your first gig in politics. Your boss assigned you to Forgotten Hollow, needing someone to fill the space there. Everyone who had ever been assigned to Forgotten Hollow mysteriously disappeared, or quit spontaneously. You couldn’t imagine why. The place looked so quaint, peaceful. A place where you and your spouse could perhaps, one day, start a family. The residents of Forgotten Hollow seem friendly enough, although they only ever come out at night and refuse to stay for dinner.

You ( or your spouse ) fall pregnant within a month of living in Forgotten Hollow. Both you and your spouse are ecstatic. Neither of you can wait to be parents, and neither of you knew that you would be having twins until you ( or your spouse ) went into labour. After the twins are born, you notice that their eyes don’t look very human-like. One of them has crystal clear blue eyes, while the other has red eyes with black sclerae. The doctor tells you that they don’t know what could have caused this supernatural phenomenon, but you say it matters not. You will love your children no matter what.

As your twins age, you notice one is more mischievous than the other. However, not in a fun, lovable way. This twin is often hurtful towards you, your spouse, and their sibling. When they grow to teenagers, it becomes clear that you ( or your spouse ) have, somehow, given birth to vampires.

One of the twins hates being a vampire, especially with human parents. They will do anything to resist thirst, whereas the other twin is hellbent on causing chaos for humans. They wish to rule the world in discord and misery with an army of vampires by their side, but not if the rest of you can help it.

Once the twins are young adults, you, your spouse, and the good vampire twin must band together to defeat the evil vampire twin.

this is a challenge i made a while ago on an old legacies blog of mine, but tweaked it a little. if you do this challenge, please tag it with #vatoretwinschallenge, thanks !

Playing with an M/M couple: If you want to play with an m/m couple, you may choose one of the men in your couple to be the father & a female friend of your couple to be the surrogate using MCCC.

Morwenna Golgotha

Wealth and prestige had never been things that Morwenna Montfort particularly valued, they just happened to be luxuries that she never seemed to be able to part with. She grew up in a large family, being the third of six children, and lived nothing but lavishly from the second that she was brought into the world, and would continue to do so until the day that she left it, in whatever way that may be.

Her family, and their social prominence, appeared to date back to the very start of time itself. And vampirism had run in their blood for just as long. That is all down to the fact that each marriage was treated as a business exchange rather than a celebration of love though. A wealthy, powerful vampire would marry another, equally as wealthy, powerful vampire, quickly turning social connections into bloodlines and strengthening this immense Montfort empire until it became virtually unstoppable. With each new strain of power added to the family, by the time that Morwenna was born her blood ran purer than the diamond that appeared on her ring finger barely a year after becoming acquainted with the infamous Victor Golgotha. 

But prior to that, Morwenna had grown up under strict ruling in the great Montfort Mansion. Her parents did not care too terribly for their children, and it seemed that the more they had, the more thinly what little love they showed them had to be spread. Her two older brothers took a lot of the pressure from their parents off her shoulders; they were the future of the Montfort name and legacy, so ensuring that they turned out to be eloquent, successful and credible young men was their parents’ top priority. But they coped remarkably well, mostly because they were ideal candidates for the positions. Morwenna, not so much, which was perfectly alright for her parents, since she was not going to be carrying on the family name. She wasn’t a complete failure in their eyes though; her sensible, proper attitude meant that she became a worthy role model for her three younger sisters. They all seemed to inherit her mother’s overbearing, haughty attitude though, which made spending the lengths of the time that she had to in their company almost as unbearable as actually spending it with her own mother. Morwenna, luckily, seemed to have been forgotten when their parents were handing their snobbish tendencies over to their children. She still managed to keep her head straight despite being surrounded by so many closed-minds though. 

Since Morwenna would not be keeping, and bringing even more fame to her family’s name, the only way that she would ever be able to meet her parents’ expectations would be to marry a man they deemed fit. And Morwenna had barely passed her eighteenth birthday when her parents selected this young man for her. And they could not have found a more ideal suitor if they spent the rest of their immortal lives searching. Vladislaus Straud had every credential they checked for, and a bloodline rivalling their own in terms of vampiric strength. He was their dream son-in-law, but was more like Morwenna’s personal nightmare.

Vladislaus had only just settled into town when he got the message from Morwenna’s parents and met with her almost immediately. She was not captivated by Vlad when the first time met, nor the second… nor the third. But the constant pressure from her parents and Vlad’s unrelenting efforts to impress her soon had her thinking otherwise. And just when she was starting to believe that she might be falling in love with him, young up-start Victor Golgotha waltzed into her life. 

Morwenna was completely transfixed by Victor from the moment that they met at one of her family’s grand business dinners. And from that second she could already tell that Victor had won her heart in a way that Vlad would never be able to. A whirlwind, initially unapproved of, romance later, any trace of her arranged engagement to Vlad had disappeared and in its place was a happy marriage to the love of her life. No many how many years passed from the breakdown of her relationship with the highly-acclaimed Vladislaus Straud though, Morwenna couldn’t seem to shake the feeling that he never forgave her for leaving him at the altar…

[trench-legacy]

Master post on my legacy so far

The founder of the legacy, Balor Trench.

Traits: music lover, good, family-oriented, muser Aspiration: musical genius Skills maxed: Guitar

Balor was a street musician, he sang guitar in the busy streets of San Myshuno before retreating to his small home in Newcrest. He earned fame to his name and created a good reputation to his name.

Balor then met Rose, a blind woman who adored his music. The two fell in love and went on tons of dates. Rose Garisson Traits: art lover, romantic, dog lover, muser Aspiration: painter extraordinaire

Growing up with art all around her, Rose loved art & painting. Sadly, an accident made her lose her eye sight and made her lose the ability to see what she was painting. This didn’t entirely stop her craft as she still painted with the help of her family, friends and later also Balor.

The two of them got married (eloped) during the love festival in San Myshuno.

Gen 1

A year into their marriage they adopt a little girl named Meryl. Meryl’s favorite thing in the whole world was Rose’s guide dog.

Meryl Trench Traits: dog lover, family-oriented, music lover, responsible, domestic Aspiration: big happy family

Meryl fell in love with a vampire named Daniel Straud who happened to be the youngest son of Vladistraus Straud who tragically died in a fire. The two were crazy for each other and quickly wed. They ended up having 13 children. Their youngest vampire child dedicates her life to the Straud family and it’s legacy, she stayed behind in the manor located in Forgotten Hollow. She has no desire to get married or have kids of her own but she will stand up if anyone in the straud family becomes an orphan. When Meryl’s youngest children are toddlers, she nearly dies from drowning. She and Daniel decide that it’s best if she would be turned into a vampire. The two of them are currently still alive and are now living in a cottage located in Brindleton Bay with their two corgis who mysteriously don’t age nor die. They own a pet hospital together where they cure all kinds of pets.

Balor and Rose also had two kids biologically after adopting Meryl. The eldest was Idris.

Idris Trench (left) Traits: insider, romantic, outgoing, responsible, gregarious Aspirations: world-famous celebrity

Idris grew up loving acting, theatre and fame. She moved to Del Sol Valley to pursue her acting career and met Leah. They started dating and eventually got married. Leah confessed that she was an art-stealing criminal, Idris didn’t care. No outsiders asked questions but many did realize that their house was too big and too expensive to be paid from just Idris’ acting roles. The two raised two children together, their graves are next to each other in the family graveyard located in Brindleton Bay.

Their third and final child was a son named Thoren.

Thoren Trench, gen 1 Heir Traits: cat lover, bookworm, loves outdoors, responsible, home turf, hero of Strangerville Aspirations: Strangerville mystery, successful lineage

Magnolia Jane ‘MJ’ Purdue Traits: dog lover, loner, bookworm, quick learner Aspirations: computer whiz

Thoren grew up loving mysteries and solving them. It isn’t a surprise that he enrolled into the detective career once he finished high school. During a New Year’s party, the family all came together at the Forgotten Hollow manor. There both sisters stepped down from their title as heir and appointed Thoren as the heir to the Trench legacy. They also decided this was a one time case and that the eldest child would always be heir from now on. During that same party he met a girl named Magnolia Jane, although most just called her MJ because it was easier. They got married and had triplets. This would mark the start of generation 2.

Thoren managed to be the first to complete an aspiration, solving the Strangerville mystery although not without the help of his sisters... who literally wished to do anything else besides solving the mystery and taking down the plant.

While this isn’t a sim member of the family, I wanted to dedicate a small part to this post to Jerry. Jerry was Thoren & MJ’s house cat who looked miserable every single day of his life and he was the highlight of my time playing with the first generation. He lived to be pretty old, continuing his misery.

Gen 2

Thoren and MJ had triplets. Marina was the first one to come out and thus named their first born and heir to the legacy. Her brothers are Michael (left) and Markus (right).

Marina Trench, gen 2 heir Traits: music lover, cheerful, good, good manners, responsible, muser Aspirations: musical genius Maxed skills: cooking, homestyle cooking, baking, mixology

Morgan Ida Traits: bro, music lover, child of the ocean, muser Aspiration: painter extraordinaire

Marina never got used to being pampered and prepared to be the heir. When she wasn’t drowing in her studies she was sneaking out to attend parties. At one particular party in Sulani, she met Morgan. Morgan was... different than the others at the party. The first few months into their relationship Marina couldn’t figure out why... until she took her out swimming and Morgan started swimming around with a tail. After their marriage they had one child, a daughter, Raven. Marina gave Raven full freedom, not wanting her life to revolve around ‘being the heir’. Marina and Morgan’s relationship hit a rough patch once Raven started going to high school. Morgan started a career in teaching and was absent in the morning & and early noon. Marina had an entertainer career blossoming and was drowning herself into her work in order to gain a name as a musician. During one of these nights, Michael came over. It was usual for Marina’s brothers to visit her house at the random but this particular night was the start of something. Morgan was tipsy and Michael had been in an argument with his wife. The two ranted to one another and one thing led to another. It wouldn’t have meant anything if the two didn’t stay in touch to meet up with each other once Marina left for work. Their affair hit a breaking point once Morgan realized she was pregnant. (Note: in my sims game i’ve made MCC give sims the ability to have biological children regardless of gender, it often brings more interesting genes into the world.) Morgan lied about her pregnancy to Marina, giving her a ‘surprise announcement’ of their second child. Once little Melody was born, no one questioned anything. Michael knew but also kept his mouth shut, knowing it would cause more harm than good if he were to inform Marina of their cheating and trust breaking. Melody caused Marina to be home more often again and it slowly repaired their relationship. Morgan’s relationship with Raven was forever damaged, she didn’t know how she found out but Raven knew Melody wasn’t her mother’s.

Michael Trench Traits: insider, active, child of the ocean, responsible, emotional control, mediator, gregarious Aspirations: friend of the world

Michael was a smart kid, always earning high grades in school. He married some gal in Windenburg whom he had two children with. Their marriage started out well but after several years he grew bored of the live he was having with Uria. He envied Marina, she was both the heir and had a happy life. He eventually had an affair with Marina’s wife, Morgan, that led to the birth of Melody Trench.

Markus Trench Traits: evil, cat lover, child of the ocean, good manners, uncontrolled emotions, insensitive, dastardly Aspirations: public enemy

Markus was a true trouble maker, both as a child and an adult. Once he met Azraël this changed. She came from a rich and classy family but had always wanted to do something crazy. Together they found a strange portal in Glimmerbrook and discovered a magical world. They both earned the ability to do magic and started a magical bloodline. Together with their 3 children they lived out their life in Forgotten Hollow.

Gen 3

The current generation. The heir is the mermaid daughter of Marina and Morgan, Raven. She’s in a relationship with Taku Akiyama and has a little half sister named Melody.

NSB (Straud Legacy) Gen 9 Ep 23: Love on the Rocks

Luigi had dodged drama in his household by focusing exclusively on university, but that dedication had other, less fortunate, consequences.

The trouble began when Isra invited him out to drinks near her place. Early into their date he made the mistake of complaining about how she’d refused to come visit, pointing out that he’d come to see her without question as soon as she’d called him.

He definitely did not get the apology he’d been hoping for. Isra ripped into him for pressuring her to put her health at risk, and then completely ignoring her afterward, despite his earlier promises to make their relationship a priority. In fact, why didn’t they talk about that relationship now?

---------------------------------------------

Isra went on to say that in seeing other people, she’d found that partners who showed her care and affection regularly were what she needed.

When Luigi realized she was halfway through a breakup speech, he was stunned, and begged her to reconsider. They could work out their problems, and he’d have more time to be with her once the semester was over. They’d figure something out until then. He didn’t want to lose her, he loved her!

Isra remained firm. She’d always appreciate the time they’d spent together, but she’d found a better match. She couldn’t go back to sitting home alone, waiting for him to remember her and questioning whether he really cared for her or just didn’t want to let her go.

---------------------------------------------

Luigi looked deep into her eyes then, hoping to see any sign that this goodbye was not as final as she was making it seem. Instead, all he saw from his now ex-lover was a measure of his own sadness reflected back at him, and underneath that a steely resolve.

Not interested in prolonging a conversation that had quickly become awkward and strained Luigi instead took a deep breath and quietly wished Isra the best of luck before grabbing a plate of food and heading upstairs to process his feelings in private.

---------------------------------------------

Before returning home Luigi went for a swim to clear his head. The cool water and peaceful island night soothed him, helping him think.

Papa Jack had been positive that Luigi had inherited the favor of his “watcher”. His heart was hurting now, but his Papa had made a point of going over the family histories with him, showing him that the Sims with a strong affinity for a singular color all eventually found lasting love.

Surely the watcher had the same end goal in mind for him! He and Isra might not have been meant to be, but he could take heart that the sim for him was out there, he just had to keep looking. The watcher would lead him to his happily ever after, just like they had his ancestors for generations.

🎶… I might have to wait, I’ll never give up… wherever you are, whenever it’s right… you’ll come out of nowhere and into my life …🎶

NSB (Straud Legacy) Gen 9 Ep 56: A Friend In Need

Shortly after his disastrous date with Jade Luigi was up late working on a new Sims Forever mod when his phone rang with a call from Noemi.

He picked up right away, a bit worried. Unless it was urgent they both preferred to text. Before Luigi had a chance to ask her what was up, Noemi told him in a shaky voice: “Kiana’s gone”.

From their frequent chats Luigi knew that while the pairs marriage had been loveless for awhile, they’d still had a strong connection and co-existed peacefully. Noemi hadn’t mentioned seeing anyone else after their brief affair, choosing to save up her simoleons instead of moving out on her own.

---------------------------------------------

Luigi immediately offered to come over. Noemi was one of his best friends and she clearly needed someone to talk to. She thanked him but replied that if he didn’t mind terribly, she’d much prefer to come to him, she needed to “get out of the apartment, too many memories”.

Luigi understood that all too well, remembering how hard walking through the homestead had been after Papa’s death. He agreed and in no time found himself welcoming Noemi into the boardinghouse, telling her he was “so sorry” as he wrapped her briefly in a tight embrace.

Until now the pair had steadfastly avoided physical displays of affection since “breaking up”. As they headed up the stairs to his room Luigi fought to suppress the suddenly fluttery feeling in his chest and the tiny whisper in the back of his brain that was reminding him Noemi was “finally free”.

---------------------------------------------

When they reached his room Noemi thanked him again for having her over so late. She’d spent a long day preparing the arrangements for the memorial service and calling friends and family, including his own father, to let them know the news.

She told him that while she felt sad for the good times they’d shared and the friend she’d lost, she didn’t feel how she thought a widow should. Their marriage had been one of convenience for so long, with the end looming larger all the time, she was ashamed how relieved she was it was finally over.

Luigi nodded his head in understanding, telling her she had the right to feel however she felt. He knew from experience that grief was a deeply personal thing, and he believed strongly that no one had the right to tell another sim how they “should” react in the face of it.

---------------------------------------------

Noemi stepped back into his arms then, laying her head on his shoulder and replying that he had “no idea how much I needed to hear that”.

As they stood there snuggled up together for the first time since before Harvestfest, Luigi breathed in the sweet smell of her perfume mixed with the lavender shampoo she used to keep at his place for quick showers after their lovemaking sessions and suddenly felt his body stiffen in a completely unhelpful, embarrassing, way. She couldn’t help but notice, looking up into his eyes, an unreadable expression on her face.

Luigi started to apologize but found himself cut off by Noemi’s lips frantically pressing against his. He responded without thought, their kiss deepening as he lifted her wholly off the ground and carried her to his bed.

---------------------------------------------

When Luigi broke away to speak to her again, she just pulled his face back to her, throwing the comforter over them both.

After that they fell naturally into the comfortable compatibility they’d always shared in the bedroom. They basked in one another’s touch, the complications that had kept them apart and the sad circumstances that brought them back together forgotten entirely.

Luigi groaned as he went to grab protection out of his inventory only to realize he’d never stocked back up after his return from Batuu. He watched Noemi struggle with her disappointment before coming to a decision. “Warn me before it’s too late” she whispered as she wriggled herself around him.

---------------------------------------------

Physically and emotionally the experience was unlike anything else they’d had before. The uncertainty and tenderness between them, the slow and careful navigation of the risk of unwanted pregnancy: these things left them satisfied in quite a different way when they were both finally spent.

They cuddled close, whispering sweet compliments in the simple and happy afterglow. It had certainly been a woohoo to remember!

🎶I can feel the magic floating in the air, being with you gets me that way🎶

---------------------------------------------

They stayed together through the night and the next days classes and clubs before Noemi finally kissed Luigi goodbye and headed back home.

As she walked towards the teleport station just off campus a wave of nausea swept over her. Confused, she rubbed her stomach to settle it before continuing on her way. She hadn’t been sick lately and she’d just eaten dinner.

As she was deposited at the stop near her apartment thoughts of their “adventure” the night before popped into her head. Fond memories, no question, but with an undercurrent of concern that caused her to swing by the drug store on her way home. She had to be sure.

A few minutes later Noemi found herself feeling strangely detached from the anxiety as she waited to see if a 2nd pink line would appear on the pregnancy test resting in her shaking hand.
