Pollination Technician #9 Smith

When PT9′s alien spaceship crashed on the outskirts of Strangetown, people were understandably scared.

“I come in peace”, he told them. 

At first, they didn’t believe.

Then, over time, people came to accept him as one of their own. After all, why not? PT9 was just an all-around great guy! A loving husband, devoted father, valued member of the community.

Few people remembered the fear, the suspicion, the questions surrounding his forced landing on Sim Earth, or the fact that he was seen returning to his crashed ship more than once in those days, stealing away into the night with unknown alien artifacts.

One simply did not think of such things. Could not.

Jenny Smith

The eldest of six siblings, Jenny has always dreamed of having a large family of her own. 

She first met PT9 when he staggered, injured and confused, into Strangetown. She offered him help, a place to stay where he could recover away from the prying eyes of the townsfolk - and love bloomed between them. 

Or so most people think. 

In truth, Jenny has only the fuzziest recollection of those early days. All that matters is that she loves her husband, and he makes her happy.

Oh, so very happy...

Johnny Smith

Johnny feels caught between two worlds, and desperately wants to fit in. 

He thought that being popular at school and having a hot girlfriend would finally make him feel like he belonged - but that hasn’t really happened.

The image he has carefully built for himself feels fake, like a mask he hides behind.

Sometimes, Johnny doesn’t know who he is anymore.

Jill Smith

Don’t let the bright colors and pastel décor fool you; Jill takes after her dad. Highly intelligent and ruthlessly competitive, she dreams of captaining her own ship one day - a spaceship. So what if her pigmentation doesn’t match a full-blooded Sixamese’s? That doesn’t mean she can’t become a Pollination Technician, like her father!

Jill’s most recent dollhouse drama involves a murder mystery in which the protagonist genetically modifies herself to look like her victim, as a way of covering up her crime and stealing her identity.

The Beginning of Twisted Strangetown

Ajay came to Strangetown alongside Lola and Chloe to investigate the disappearance of Bella, but have encountered a mystery far more unsettling. Who is responsible for everyone's erratic behavior? Can they be saved, and are they even worth saving?

Here are the list of Fates. They may be altered later:

Best Fate (Friends with all 3 Agents) - Sim gets personality restored, $50,000 added to household funds, and upgraded furniture in their house

Good Fate (Friends with 2/3 Agents) - Sim will have personality restored but will be moved to the bunkers (empty one next to the Grunt house) to remain under the watch of the agents

Bad Fate (Enemies with 2/3 Agents) - Sim keeps their altered personality and are moved to an asylum

Worst Fate (Enemies with all 3 Agents) - Sim turns into zombie and sent to the townie pool

Notes:

Lola and Chloe are the only ones who can initiate conversations, as their role is to make connections for Ajay. Ajay is not allowed to directly talk to anyone besides people he already befriended

If Ajay fights and wins against a sim, that sim is immediately given the Worst Fate regardless of Lola and Chloe's judgements

Erin and Kristen are automatically barred from the Best Fate but are protected from the Worst Fate

Nervous is protected from the Worst Fate

Wild Card Events (each event involves one OC being added):

New Prime Suspect: Vidcund will disappear from Strangetown for one week and return with his personality returned to normal, regardless of his fate. Lola and Chloe will be sent on a side quest to track down a townie, who Ajay will have to fight and keep in his house for three sim days as part of an "interrogation"

Consumer of the Rich: People who are enemies with at least 1 agent and have at least 50,000 in household funds will be fed to a cowplant and resurrected as a zombie before being added to the townie pool

Protector of Children: Buck and Jill are automatically protected from the Bad and Worst fates, but will be moved out from their households. They are allowed to remain in contact with their families through phones but cannot see them in person until college

Will provide updates on how things go when I can

Buffy and the Sims Crossover

Yup I wrote a Sims and Buffy crossover fic.

Rating: T on ao3. FR15 on Twisting the Hellmouth

Fandoms: BtVS and the Sims 2

Warnings: Some adult language, mpreg, general weirdness, crackships

Pairings: Buffy Summers/Pascal Curious, Xander Harris/Drusilla, Willow Rosenberg/Erin Beaker, implied Spike/Angel, implied Spike/his literal coat, Circe Beaker/Loki Beaker.

Summary: Starts in Buffy the Vampire Slayer season four, in the episode "Pangs". Everyone gets magically transported to the Sims 2 Strangetown. Including Angel. Oh and Drusilla is there for some reason. Has not one, not two, not three, but FOUR counts of alien mpreg (two are canon in Sims 2. Sorta.). Anyway it's total crackfic and not meant to be taken as anything other than a joke.

Make the Most of It

- -

Roo boarded a busy bus after an outing with Rylan, and Roo knew the trip was going to be a long one and fell asleep. After sometime, an aching worry creeped into his stomach and began waking him up, and all it took was a gust of summer wind, and an acrid smell of oil to fully wake him up, which was just in time to read his unexpected welcome into Strangetown. Like most people, he inched towards the front to ask the bus driver where in god's name he was, but... there was no bus driver! Who was driving the bus? Where did everyone AND the bus driver go? How did they get here? How long had Roo been asleep? So many questions and all left unanswered as he departed the bus. Curiously, he approached the front door of a home nearby, where he saw a sign that said "This home is now property of Roo Norman," and although he was incredibly stressed and worried, the harsh wind gave him a feeling... He knew he was gonna be here for a long time... So with a free home, sparse money to his name and practically a new life, Roo figured it was best to make the most of this unexpected "vacation"...

Make the Most of It (MtMoi) is a Sims 2 Rotational Save/Series set in Strangetown, of course with a twist as Roo enters the Sims 2 ring and rotation pool. - -

[ more information + transcript will be under the cut ]

Types of Posts I'm gonna try and do a couple different type of posts; -Main posts will have more effort/editing put into them and are more than likely to be of Roo. -Side posts are going to have less effort, and will be where I post little tidbits and/or wrap-ups of a rotation I'm still debating how I wanna do this as I do wanna make Main posts centered around other sims but idk... 🤔 Post Schedule I'm really bad at scheduling posts im gonna be honest 😪 Taking how back-n-forth my burnout/motivation bursts can be into consideration, I'm gonna shoot for once or twice a week with the main posts/roo updates, and once a week with the side posts/rotation updates Side post posting frequency may differ depending on how often I play

Transcript

Panel 1: So I'm a little lost / For Context: I was taking a bus back home as I usually do on outings- and all was well, until I woke up to a rather dreadful gust of wind, an odd smell and a sign that said... / "Welcome to Strangetown!" / Now I was gonna ask the bus driver what was going on, but as I walked to the front to get off at my... "stop".. There was no bus driver! Thus leaving me... very confused.

Panel 2: I may seem rather calm for such a situation / But what else are you supposed to do when you are completely and utterly lost and don't have some form of way to get home?

Panel 3: But on the bright side / I got a free house!.. Okay maybe not so bright considering everything else

Panel 4: So what now? What do you do when you're lost in the worst climate. are given a new home and a clean slate for life?

Panel 5: [Silent]

Panel 6: You have to / Make the Most of It

Custom Neighborhoods Templates with Premade Sims! - Masterpost

Do you love premades but get bored of constantly resetting neighborhoods and of ending up doing the same things over and over again? With this list I offer you some alternatives! Same sims...but with a little...more! Feel free to recommend me others if you know other neighborhoods like these!

Look here for other masterposts!

⚠️ ALWAYS USE THE HOODCHECKER AFTER INSTALLING A NEW NEIGHBORHOOD AND/OR ADDING A SUBHOOD. The HC will clean up messy memories, fix IDs incorrectly associated to other sims, and recover missing tombstones and urns. Always have no-unlink on deleted in your download folder for avoid unlinked character data and use the Urnstone Spawner for respawn manually the tombstones if the HC fail to recover them.

Paraiso En Las Rocas (If I can, I would also recommend to download the empty version (or populated, if you don't mind mixing up premades and OCs) of Paraiso En El Mar, because I think they complement each other. PEEM has so many gorgeous community lots! You can use PEEM as Main and PELR as subhood or do the opposite. Personally I would fill the empty version of PEEM with the DV, RVH and BC premades (or just choose some of them) since PELR has all the PV, ST and VV premades + one from BWV)

SWAT - Round 1 - Smith

Brenda: “Thish ish really good, Mr Shmith!”

PT9: “I’m glad you like it, Brenda. Tuck in!”

Brenda wolfed down her food with relish; she hadn’t realized how hungry she was! Her host watched her patiently, a tiny smile curving his lips. When she had swallowed the last bite and drained her cup of tea to the dregs, she gave a deep, contented sigh.

Brenda: “Thanks for the food, it really hit the spot! Although I really should get going now...”

PT9: “And I hate to keep you from your duties, young Brenda, but could you step outside with me for just one moment?”

He mentioned towards the sliding doors leading outside into the back yard.

Brenda: “Um, okay.”

Brenda: “What’s u-”

Blinding green light exploded in her head and her whole body went rigid with shock. She opened her mouth to scream, but all that came out was a dry gasp. 

Brenda could not think; it was as if something had grabbed hold of her skull and was squeezing it to the breaking point. Her eyes bulged out of their sockets, seared blind by the green light.

Get moving, came PT9′s telepathic command. The girl grabbed her head in a feeble attempt at resistance, but her legs were already carrying her towards the shed. A low keening like that of a frightened animal reverberated from her throat.

In the kitchen, Jenny Smith whistled softly as she washed the dishes. PT9 wasn’t worried about her witnessing anything; Jenny’s mind had long been conditioned to see only what her husband wanted her to see. 

It had been so easy - she’d loved him first, and yielded to his influence with barely any effort on his part. Now, their minds were linked, and he could peruse her thoughts as easily as scanning through the pages of a book. She was his second pair of eyes and ears, utterly loyal.

One day, Jenny’s mind would snap like a string pulled too taut - already, she was beginning to lose herself, her personality gradually unravelling. 

It was a shame. PT9 was fond of his wife, and took no pleasure in what he did. Simply put, it was a matter of survival.

What he was about to do was too.

You've been all over - Lucky Palms, Strangetown, Neighborhood 1 - but have you ever headed for the bright lights of Vegas and the wasteland beyond? For those who are looking for a cheap place to live and employment that's open to anyone, the New Simfornia Republic Army might be the career for you! Based on Fallout: New Vegas' New California Republic Army faction, but with a Sims twist!

This is a branched career that splits at level five. You can choose to take the Combat or Political branch -- are you looking to become President of the New Simfornia Republic, or are you looking to be at the helm of the Rangers? The choice is yours. As always, you will need NRaas Careers for this to work!

Levels and other info under the cut!

For the initial five levels, there are a few custom tones:

Run Laps (builds Athletics), Maintain the Barracks (builds Handiness), and Tend Crops (builds Gardening).[/list]

For the Combat branch, we have:

Perform Weapons Drills (builds Athletics), Spar With Fellow Recruits (raises Martial Arts), and Write Reports (builds Writing).

The Political branch, on the other hand, has:

Prepare Talking Points (builds Charisma), Study (builds Logic), and Network With Other Politicians (builds Gambling). As this is a hidden skill that comes with Lucky Palms and the casino content, you will need that world downloaded for the skill to work correctly. Otherwise you may be able to alter this through MasterController.

I have made three opportunities that appear for Level 10 at both branches. These are to read a book, throw a party and invite a coworker, and attend a meeting. This is my first time making these so please let me know if you have any problems! There are also no carpools as thematically they wouldn't make sense1

Here are the levels and descriptions for the initial five before the branch:

[*]Wastelander - 10 simoleans p/h - M-F Description: New Simfornia is an okay place to live. Electricity runs for at least six hours a day, and the water supply is mostly clean. But there’s bills to pay and food to put on the table; scavenging pipes from the scrapyard and selling mutated wildflowers just doesn’t pay like it used to. The New Simfornia Republic Army is looking more appealing by the second… Recruit - 20 simoleans p/h - M-F Description: You’ve hiked your way out to the barracks and impressed the recruiters with your enthusiasm. Now it’s time to show them what you’re truly made of; mud, sweat, and dubious rations shipped from Strangetown. Hope you like green meatloaf and hard tack so solid you could use it as a weapon! Labourer - 25 simoleans p/h - M-F Description: Boot camp is over and done with, thank the Watcher. Now you’re stuck with menial labour; dull, but safe. You’ll spend your days planting crops, making flour, or putting together weapons on the factory line. Long hours for half decent pay, it’s not a bad life (unless you actually like scavving or fistfighting the creatures in the mine for food). Auxiliary - 30 simoleans p/h - M-F Description: An actual uniform, your own dog tags, and a waterproof pair of cowplant hide boots, it’s like every Snowflake Day come at once! At least now you’re inside most of the time, even if the most exciting thing you do is drop off letters from Sunset Valley and listen to gossip from Vegas. At least there’s free coffee. Private - 40 simoleans p/h - M-F Description: Your commanders have made a big deal about how they’re trusting you with patrols now, where you’re let loose with a basic weapon and have the tiniest bit of authority. Citizens might respect you and you’ll get to see the sights of Strangetown and Lucky Palms, but you know what they say; patrolling the Simoran almost makes you wish for…

Then for the combat branch levels:

[*]Captain - 70 simoleans p/h - M-F Description:You’ve spent your years slogging away as a cog in the machine and now the higher ups have finally recognised your efforts. You’re leading your own team, which can somewhat be like herding cats, but at least you get to go on more interesting missions now and have so say in the logistics. Even if those command meetings could have been an email. Major - 80 simoleans p/h - M-F Description:Your own office, specialised assignments, and the authority to get someone else to clean the bathrooms… the life of a major isn’t a bad one. But it does come with a price; you’ll be leading troops into battle and having to command the bigger outposts, which is a headache in itself. Solving squabbles over caravan routes and shipments of energy drinks, followed by a firefight at the New Simfornia border? All in a day’s work. Colonel - 200 simoleans p/h - M-F Description:You’ve moved somewhat away from petty disputes, but even if the pay is better, the responsibilities increase with it. You’re looking after entire regions and their platoons, making sure troops are dispatched to the right areas and civilian areas are kept safe (as much as they can be). Ranger - 500 simoleans p/h - Monday, Tuesday, Thursday Description:You’re finally the ranger with the big iron on their hip and hefty bounties to track down. You’re the one they call when the alien threat gets out of hand and the two-headed bears start rummaging through cabins on the Hidden Springs lakesides. You’ve got the chance to earn decent money on your own terms, provided the ghouls or yetis don’t take you out first. Chief - 750 simoleans p/h - Wednesday, Thursday, Friday Description:You’re out in the field less these days and spend more time dispatching the rangers under your command to get the jobs done. Still, you get a cut of the bounty that they bring back, and you don’t have to scramble through radioactive swamps to take out a target! It doesn’t get much better than that.

And the political branch levels:

Intern - 50 simoleans p/h - M-F Description:You’ve got a knack for bright ideas and saying the right things at the right time. This hasn’t gone unnoticed, and your superior has suggested working in the political branch of the New Simfornia Republic Army. At the moment it’s more running missives and making coffee of dubious quality, but everyone has to start somewhere! Law Maker - 75 simoleans p/h - M-F Description:After many, many years of dealing with the general public and your fellow squaddies, you’ve gained enough knowledge to know what needs to change – and spent plenty of time daydreaming how to do it. It might not be a seat of power, but determining which laws make it to the senate and writing detailed bills is a step in the right direction. Senator - 250 simoleans p/h - Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday Description:Finally, you’re where you deserve to be. Away from the dust and dirt of the Wasteland, your days involve a freshly cleaned suit and arguing with your fellow senators about the day’s agenda. Even if people don’t know you, they still have a healthy amount of respect for you (and maybe some fear). What you say, goes, and after all – you know best. Councillor - 500 simoleans p/h - Wednesday, Thursday, Friday Description:Unlimited power! … almost. You’re the one pulling the strings, whispering in the President’s ear and making sure they’re steered along the right track. You mostly work from the shadows now, only making appearances when needed, but your words are weighted like the finest Aqua Pura. Use them wisely. President - 1000 simoleans p/h - Wednesday, Thursday, Friday Description:The sky’s the limit; everything the light of the bomb touches is your kingdom. Whether New Simfornia flourishes or fails is entirely dependent on your whims. The army? Your personal bodyguards and playthings. The populace? Dolls to rearrange and position as you please. Watch out, Vegas; a new sheriff’s in town…

Translations: I've included the English Strings in the file; if anyone is talented enough to translate, I would be incredibly grateful, so please let me know in the comments!

With thanks: A huge thank you to all the kind people on MissyHissy's Discord server for helping me to test and troubleshoot, and to the person who requested this career and very kindly made the icon for me!

DAY 9 in Twisted Strangetown: The Goth in Disguise

THE PREVIOUS DAY

H: Hello, lovely! Harper Morgan at your service. How may I help you?

A: Oh, shoot, I'm sorry. I was calling for my brother.

H: AKTU? Where have you been for the past year? Are you okay? And why wouldn't you answer any of our calls?

A: I'm more confused on why you're referring to yourself as "Harper" with your wife's maiden name.

H: You're dodging the question!

A: Okay, fine! I'm being held captive by SCIA.

???: We're not holding you captive. You're here because we need answers on how you were able to reverse the mind control. We need that information to save everyone else in Strangetown.

H: Save Strangetown from what, darling? They all seem fine to me!

A: Hamza, stop speaking like that.

???: There's an unknown force that's caused everyone's personalities to be set to the extreme, alongside giving them "brain fog" that we recently discovered that made them unable to recall past events and think for long periods of time. Things seem okay now, but there have been cases of the past of these extremities causing people to attack others.

H: Ooh, I get it! So we're preventing something worse from happening, right?

???: Precisely.

H: Well, I'll be more than happy to talk to you, love! In exchange, you can let my dear brother go free. How about that?

???: Depends on what you can provide.

H: Provide, huh? Oh, I can provide much more than you think...

A: Hamza, you're married.

H: Celeste said that it's okay to seduce people for money or power as long as I tell her first! And I hold the same rule to her, too!

???: Well, we'll see. What time works for you?

H: I can actually come by right now, dear! Just...give me some time to get ready, okay?

???: Got it. I'll send you the location. Be quick.

*Beep*

H: Can't believe I have to put everything back on...

NAME: HAMZA "HARPER MORGAN" TERRESTRIAL

AGE: ADULT

STATUS: ALIVE, FUNCTIONAL

I am unsure which of the two names was Harper's real name, but she seemed neutral for both so I assume it's a good idea to continue to refer to her as Harper.

Harper claimed to reside in Bluewater Village, but was temporarily residing in Strangetown for reasons she would not specify. She lives with her two kids, one of which was the product of an alien abduction and both of whom attend private school.

When I questioned Harper about "Celeste," the woman she had mentioned in the recording, she claimed that I misremembered and that she was single. She then proceeded to flirt with me as if she would forget, before I threatened to tell Aktu about what happened. This prompted her to confess that she did have a wife, and that the two were in an open relationship. I may have to confirm this with Aktu later, though I'm unsure if this information is important.

Harper followed this up by talking more about her wife, entering a long tangent about how amazing she was and how she was so lucky to find someone "out of her league." Once she was done, she then told me that there were rumors of gadgets being built in Strangetown that could potentially allow people to mind control others without possessing any supernatural powers.

This would likely mean that the town-wide control is the product of a haywire experiment. And there is one guy in town who already has a track record of haywire experiments that negatively affect the entire town - Loki Beaker. The good news is that Chloe and Lola were already at their place for observations, so I can simply ask them to bring him here.

Once our conversation concluded, Harper and I agreed to let Aktu go on the condition that he wore a tracking device in case we needed to locate him again. Aktu seemed okay with this, and the two of them returned to Bluewater with no complaints.

This concludes our first interrogation. It's time for us to collect our next suspect!

TO BE CONTINUED...

for the storytelling questions: 20, 25 & 28 ! :)

20. choose your favourite shot from your story so far

since i have so many Hermia Driving Ominously (which are my favorites haha), i picked another “style” of shot. i feel like this pic is so basic but to me it really exemplifies the gloomy/ dark mood i’m going for w the addition of being in strangetown (also my fav)

25. what inspirations have you drawn on for your story?

re: sims stories, definitely f&r because it encouraged me to want to do a story in the first place and got me more into the premades. this was originally just going to be a cordial backstory (which got reworked some and will now be included in sw). and of course shwc, since for me that was my original exposure to premades as a viable and interesting subject.

the biggest sims inspiration i have is obviously @emperorofthedark. like i feel like i say this constantly but i love her stories, the atmosphere is sooo good and honestly every time i’ve come back to the sims community (before having a story myself to keep me occupied lol) it’s been because i need to check for an update bc i want to find out what happens next LOL

for non sims stuff, i’ve always been super into horror. i don’t really like gore/ slashers, but a ghost story with a good twist (i love when the ghost is just like… tragic vs flat evil lol) or anything with “resurrection gone wrong” themes like pet sematery. some recent stuff i’ve really liked is haunting of hill house/ bly manor, midnight mass, the new interview with the vampire show, talk to me, stuff like that. (please whoever is reading this rec me horror books and movies lol)

and the dark side of fairy lore of course! when i was a kid i had this anthology of darker/ retold fairytales called “a wolf at the door” and i’ve been hooked on that kind of thing ever since.

also true blood, i know it’s goofy but it’s a comfort show i guess? for the inspiration for the tricou family’s backstory which will get written about at some point re: the grand vampires in NL are like, a vampire council. also the aesthetic of twin peaks/ true detective.

for music, tasseomancy, especially their albums ‘ulalume’ and ‘tasseomancy’ (that one was from when they were known as ghost bees) and promise and the monster’s ‘red tide’ album and the EPs from that era, and her ‘feed the fire’ album, the dear esther soundtrack, gazelle twin, a.a. bondy, timber timbre

28. if you could reproduce your story in another medium (movie, novel, comic, etc.) what would you choose and why?

tv show for sure! hour long, shorter seasons like hbo shows. i’m thinking it will end up being around 12~ chapters and i’m honestly writing it to be like that already, where i’m trying to do the scenes as if they were in a show (with a soundtrack and everything lol), where the images aren’t always straight depictions of the text but they compliment each other instead, if that makes sense.

ty for asking!!! i love talking about this thing lol. sorry i wrote so much 😂

#non sims #*sw #**
