#strangerville storyline

[ethicaltreatmentofcowplants]

strangerville spoilers

We defeated MOTHER!

(Also Ted Roswell too, by the looks of things. Alice got him good!)

While I'd seen the end of someone else's playthrough stream while I was half asleep and fairly feverish, this was mostly a blind run and I surprisingly enjoyed it? I can see why Strangerville is a fairly niche pack but it gives you stuff to do.

More shots of the vanquishing heroes:

Leslie already greatly exaggerating their exploits lmao.

And while Simone and Alice peaced out for some well-deserved rest, Leslie and Mark remained behind and appeared to be having a... moment? Is this the end of the Dream Weaver's Way love polygon, @cantseemtohide and others? Stay Tuna'd.

"I find it odd you're inviting me out all of a sudden. I mean, not that I'd complain about it, but you haven't done that in years."

"Well… I want to save whatever can be saved between us."

"Why did it take you so long to wake up?"

She opened her eyes wider, not entirely sure how to react.

"Is it that important?"

"Let's switch our positions and you'll see for yourself. Really. I won't repeat what I already said, you know what I'm talking about and what my problem is."

"The important thing is that I want to work on our marriage, though, right?"

He raised his head from his plate.

"How can I trust you with that when every time you said you'd do it, it never happened? Or it would get better for a while, then revert back to the same old things?"

She looked down and didn't reply.

"Dy, I want to know…"

"Yes?"

"…do you still love me?"

He did not reply immediately. He took a gulp of water, looked away and simply murmured:

"…I don't know."

"Yes or no?" she insisted.

"I don't know, I'm telling you. If I tell you I don't know, I don't."

Actually, he didn't much want to know, either, despite knowing the answer deep down. He took a few more seconds to gather his words, then spoke again:

"What I know is, I'm tired, Jess. I've given so much and it feels like nothing has ever evolved. You're still the same you were at 20. You're going on 30 now. I think there's an issue here."

"But I thought you loved me for who I was", she said.

"There is love and there is being in love", he continued, trying his best not to get his pain get the best of him. "The feeling that's fleeting, and the actual thing. It's also a choice, remember. I made the choice to love you for years, even when it was hard to do so for me. Not that you're hard to love, you're not, you're lovely. But at times some things I told you about would rub me the wrong way, and I'd deal with them the best I can. You know me enough to say I'm not the type to easily give up on something, let alone on somebody. But now I feel like I'm running on empty and I don't know how I feel anymore."

"Is it because you don't approve of the way I raise Christie?"

"Jessica, keep our daughter out of this."

"But you always complain about how I'm not responsible enough with her and you even imply I'm neglecting her somehow."

"Don't bring Christie into marriage issues, please. She has nothing to do with this. The issue is, I don't know if I still love you, I've tried to make this work so many times for the sake of our daughter, of our home, of our marriage, and even if I feel you want to do something about it, I don't know if I can trust you won't just bail on me after a month."

He wanted to tell her about her mysterious illness that she didn't seem to realize was there in her, but refrained from doing so. It would just make things worse, and the whole thing was so surreal it'd sound like an attempt at gaslighting. No, better not say a thing.

She leaned in closer and whispered:

"You also make no effort to make love to me anymore, Dy… It's always… you're not in the mood, you're tired… I want you hard and deep inside of me again… I want you to eat me out, to put your hands all over me, to kiss me from top to bottom… you know it drives me crazy…"

"It's true that I've been avoiding it for a while… I don't mean to downplay it or to make it about myself, but you know I'm not quite the lovebunny either. I've never had a high drive, but… I can't get hard at this thought anymore."

A stab in her heart.

"Am I ugly? Not hot enough? Not smart enough?"

Another cut in his heart. He didn't want to answer. It would be cutting an extra to just voice things, voice directly to this lovely lady what had been sleeping in him for a long time, and what was going to really, really hurt her. Between them was the glass of water: a protection. He drank.

"…What was appealing to me when you were 20 just no longer is. And I don't mean physically. You're good physically. You're fit, gorgeous, and I'd fall in love with you all over again if it was just for your looks, even if you're not my usual type... but I feel your personality doesn't match up with mine anymore. As I said, it's like you hardly grew up in ten years. I'm 32 now, Jess. I'm not a kid anymore, and… looks, in the end, are just looks. You were the person to bring joy into my life, but now it's precisely this attitude of yours that just doesn't feel right anymore. It's like everything is lighthearted, even your kid's safety, your own, nothing is ever serious to you, whereas I've learnt that there are, indeed, serious things in life. And looking at it in a pragmatic way... I don't think this is what I'm looking for in a woman. I hate it, but that's just... the way it is."

His own words felt horrible to say. It felt like he was being an asshole, shallow, or simply nitpicky, trying to find reasons to hate the woman he had loved for eleven years now, with whom he had a lovely little girl, with whom he thought he could live forever and grow old with. But they were getting out just like that. They were here, and they had to come out. The feelings couldn't be repressed anymore. The truth had to come out, and it was cutting, like it sometimes is when it's not pretty. Some truths are beautiful and comforting, and others are the hardest pill to swallow.

"But, Jess, I don't want to mean you don't deserve love. You truly do. You're one of the sweetest people I know, it's just that... I think we have a different path to walk on."

She couldn't say a word back. It was too hard for her. On one hand, it was liberating to hear the truth, and knowing he wasn't doing this out of pure hatred or mean-spiritedness. He did love her still. That was the most important, right? Love. Being loved in return, for real. On the other, it was like being pierced by a thousand swords. How can you love someone and not want to be with them anymore? How can you love a person and yet seemingly have one foot in the door? It didn't make sense to her. And the guilt, the guilt. The idea that it was her fault. It wasn't. They just were no longer compatible. It happens, Beatrice had told her just a few days before. Sometimes things just don't work out, Jess, her friend had told her. But why?

Why couldn't love be enough to make things work out?

Valeria for @10000dreams

"I need a sim to complete the Strangerville storyline with. She identifies as fem, young adult or adult, preferably has a dark skin and dark hair can have any body type but is quite fit. She works as some kind of a sheriff/detective, with a strong sense of justice, kind hearted, but maybe a bit grumpy."

detective malik's purpose

ishaan malik wastes no time questioning solani brown at length, not allowing just how attractive he finds her to interfere with his duty. he can tell she is nervous as she does her best to answer his questions and he unconsciously softens his tone the longer he speaks to her. when he's done, he asks for her personal number, just in case he needs to contact her more about the case of course.

#yep ishaan has no ulterior motive for asking for her personal number at alll 😌 also this is leading up to the strangerville storyline #simblr #the sims 4 #the sims #sims 4 story #sims 4 gameplay #ts4 gameplay #sims 4 screenshots #the sims gameplay #ts4 #sims 4 #errantcesims #solani brown

Hey, my name's Ashton. You're probably wondering how I ended up here.

Basically, my mom was an evil psycho gold-digging self-absorbed manipulative man-eater (figuratively). She used my dad to have a baby (me) and then kicked him out. He got so angry he had a heart attack and died. That's probably where it all went downhill.

See, she was a single mom for most of my young life. She messed around, different men coming and going at late hours of the night. I coped by immersing myself in Simpedia articles and excercising. Then she randomly got married to someone who worked at the spa she frequents. It was weird but she stopped bothering me so I was okay, plus he was nice to me. One day I came home to find her bawling over his urn. She said he drowned in the pool.

I thought it was weird that he was swimming in the middle of winter but hey, maybe it was a healing thing or whatever. On my last day of high school, I heard her talking to one of her friends about killing him and getting money for it. I confronted her about it and she admitted it so easily as if it was nothing. Anyways, we argued and I left. She wired me $10,000 and sent me a text that said "come visit me sometime xoxo" which is weird that she got over it so fast. I took the money and blocked her. All those hours doom scrolling the internet and working out got me scholarships so I went to school for basically nothing.

I was a college student by the time I turned 14 and graduated by the time I turned 18. I majored in Law because I swore I'd never let anyone manipulate me or anyone else again. I visited Strangerville in my last semester and I was intrigued by the stories people were telling about some weird plant mutation. Went back to my dorm, doom scrolled some more about it and decided to move here after I graduate. The $10,000 got me a pretty decent trailer home with a nice yard in a weird neighborhood. Thanks mom.

So yeah. Oh, and that creepy lady? Her name's Justine. I snapped her out of it but she didn't seem to have a clue what she was even doing there.

Now back to the story...

Lilith almost forgot about that email until the keycard came in the mail. She started at it in shock, almost not believing her eyes. Had it been that easy? She decided to go to the lab that night, this time taking Erwin along. She passed the day keeping herself busy with programming work and odd jobs. 

That night, Lilith met Erwin behind the lab. 

“I’m glad you could make it.” Lilith grinned, hugging Erwin. “I need someone to be my meat shield.”

“Don’t even joke about that.” Erwin laughed nervously. “I’m just excited to finally see what’s been going on.”

Lilith led him through the lab, stopping in front of the large locked door. “This is it.” She said, pulling out her keycard. “Got this in the mail this morning. I dunno who sent it, but...”

“Let’s just hope it’s not a fake.” Erwin nodded. 

The lock beeped and glowed green as the doors slid open. Lilith immediately broke into a coughing fit, observing large purple particles swarming out and up from a staircase. 

“What are these things?” Lilith asked, waving them away from her face. 

Erwin poked his head through the doorway. “I dunno, but let’s go find out.”

The stairs led to another hallway, absolutely swarmed with the particles. Lilith peered in, squinting to make out anything beyond the door. 

“I think there’s a whole complex under here!” Lilith called to Erwin. “I’m gonna check this out.” 

She didn’t make it very far before getting lightheaded. She made her way to the staircase, a warning to Erwin right on the tip of her tongue. 

Lilith blacked out

And woke up in her bed.

Secret Lab time! Lilac looked pretty official.

Why she had a random Princess Leia wig lying around is probably best left unanswered.

She was in her third trimester but I assured her that without a cot nearby, she wouldn't go into labour. Would this assumption come back to bite me? You'll see.

Utilizing her "LAZY" trait to take a nap in a chair. Did you know that they're apparently the only Sims that can do this?

She now rides her bike anywhere that's further than the distance from the toilet to the nearest sink, pretty much.

And then she went into labour.

LILAC: YOU SAID THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN!!!! HAYLEY: I DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD!!!!

And yeah, she had to bike all the way home like this. I support robust maternity leave policies irl, promise :x

Jihad Rasmussen-Assaoui. Thirty-six. Aquarius. Creative. Tatted. Burnout. Everyman. Backpacker. Adventurous. Single. Noncommittal. Anthropologist (until yesterday).

With three very opinionated – and very different – parents, Jihad can usually get at least one to support her wacky life decisions. But they all seemed pretty disappointed when they found out she quit her research job… not that that stopped them from welcoming her home with open arms.
