starting again. ✶

i've decided to start posting again in this tumblr, just spamming all my screenshots as i used to do. i've been around the sims community for a really long time and really wanted to start telling the stories of my sims, using screenshots with subtitles and everything, making every screenshots feel as special as the moments happening in my game. i used to write a lot as a teenager, so i also wanted to write about them in a book-like way... there's so many good storytellers in this community and they've always inspired me, but i just came to the conclusion that it'll never be possible for me to share my sims stories like that. i'm way too busy and have way too many hobbies besides the sims. i created the perfect reshade for myself so i wouldn't have to edit, i'd just have to add subtitles. but that it's still to much for me at this time, it's just not possible. i'm also not the teenager that used to write stories all the time. i'll start writing stories again, but i just don't have the time to worry so much about how i share my sims stories on the internet, to the point that i stopped posting completely and lost so many memories because i cannot keep then in my pc.

i took this screenshot below today, and i wanted to share about how proud i am of how far they've come. the boy on the left with the purple shirt is joshua as a teenager now. the girl with the green shirt is tina and sunny's youngest daughter dianna, and even though she is joshua's aunt, they're very close in age and always were really close, it's almost as if they're brothers, so they're also best friends. the other two girls are carol's twins that are also teenagers now and came to visit.

unfortunately that's all i can share for now, but i'm so happy about how they're all together there. just like their parents were there before. just like they're children will be. this family is just so special to me, i've been playing with them for almost a year now, i'm still in the 3rd generation, but i'm making the most of every single second i have with them.

"Hi Debbie. I got something for you!" Debbie had been lazying around the house all day. Marina finds her sunbathing in the last rays of the day. "Oh yeah? And what can a little kid with no money get to an adult woman?" mocks Debbie "Did you make me a paper flower?" "Oh no, I swear I used all of my pocket money to get you this gift!" Marina hand Debbie a colorful box. She accept and finally opens it. A stench of rotten eggs fills the air when it erupts from the box and in Debbie's face. "UGH!" gags Debbie. Marina is so happy her prank went well, her tummy hurts from laughing! Unfortunately Debbie doesn't find the prank very funny and turns into her manest, wickedest self Marina has yet to see. "BRAT! I'm sure your mother is glad to be DEAD! At least she doesn't have to deal with such a parasite!" Marina is too shocked to say anything. She didn't think Debbie knew about her mother ("But of course she does, dad must have told her!" she thinks), and she definitely never expected Debbie to use it against her. "Silly little girls should be sent into a private schools!" continues Debbie, cruelly "Maybe I'll talk to your father about it, once my baby is born..."

Haruo is an asshole in this chapter of the story.

...but of course...this is how he reacts from being abused by his mother from the time he was a small child.

************************************

Haruo didn’t say a thing other than tell her to get in the truck and locked the door to the mobile home. Their drive back to the house was in tense silence. He hoped that he’d given River enough pause to rethink her thoughts about dating him. He was a broken man, and didn’t need to be tied down to a relationship that sooner or later was going to result in her rethinking the whole thing, better to nip that flower in the bud before it could even open its petals. When he dropped her off, he said, “I’ll give you and your mother a place to get your legs under you, but that’s all I’m promising.”

“How generous of you…” River said, her tone bitter and angry. “I’ll see what I can do to help her and we’ll be out of your hair as soon as we can.” She saw him turn the engine on and put his van into drive. She watched the van drive out the driveway and onto the street. It turned the corner and out of sight before her vision blurred and she swiped angry tears from her eyes.

Fiona hurried over to her daughter, “What’s the matter?” “He doesn’t love me…” River wept as she buried her face in her mother’s shirt, holding on tightly to her mother, wracking sobs shaking her frame. “I’m sorry, honey….what happened?” River couldn’t speak since she was too distraught so Fiona just held her daughter.

Richmond

Haruo walked back into his own place without looking back. He was on his own and it happened to be just the way he liked it, nobody to answer to, no-one to nag him to death and above all, it was a place for him to be able to actually find some peace for the first time in his life. Grabbing the groceries he’d picked up on the way back home, he locked the door of the van, then carted the groceries to his humble abode. When he got the groceries into his fridge he was satisfied. He’d grabbed a burger from the local burger joint and had eaten so the groceries were more from the point of being able to cook something in the next few days.

Did he regret saying what he did to River? No. Because she would see in the years to come that it was the right choice for him. Why should he inflict the hurt and sorrow to her or others of connecting with someone who didn’t deserve the love that was offered. I’m not the right person for her, he kept rationalizing to himself. And maybe one of these days, he’d believe it deep down where he could shut off those negative emotions and feedback like a tap. He wished he could shut off the emotions of wanting someone to accept him for who he was and not try to make him over into something he wasn’t. Because ultimately, it wasn’t meant to be and maybe people should give up on him before they got sucked into the abyss. He felt like he should go through life alone. And if life chose to cancel him short of his due date, then so be it. Haruo ate, then took a shower and went to bed.

Mayumi’s House; Downstairs Suite

“Maybe moving in with him isn’t the best idea.”

River sniffled and said sarcastically, “Understatement of the year! Mom.”

There was a knock at the door, “Yasunobu…?” Fiona said.

“I hear my son not want you in his place…”

“Well, understandably, I sprung it on him suddenly without any consultation and well. I can see why he wouldn’t be too happy about it.”

“If, OK, you stay here.”

“Won’t that annoy your wife?"

Yasunobu grinned, “No concern. I control. She no say anything any more. My money in this house,” he gestured to take in his surroundings, “My decision. I call Haruo and tell him you stay here.”

Fiona was relieved. Mayumi was unable to kick them out since Yasunobu was thoroughly in charge of what went on in this house. And she didn’t have to administer an uncomfortable truce between her daughter and Yasunobu’s son. “Thank you, Yasunobu. That’s so kind of you.”

“OK, you no need pack, you stay here and I keep wife quiet.” He grinned. River was looking quite relieved at the thought of not having to be around Haruo after the hard rejection of her admission. She wasn’t sure how to feel other than hurt and angry; not just at the rejection but the assumption that she would think that because of what he went through with his mother that he’d receive more of the same from her.

Just where does Haruo get off thinking that I’m going to be a bitch to him just like his mother did to him? I wouldn’t but the fact that he thinks that way…he’s been hurt terribly with no place to turn because his mother didn’t lay a finger on him - the cops wouldn’t do a fucking thing because well they wouldn’t believe that words didn’t cut to the bone; that psychological damage was just a virulent and probably more insidious if you had no proof of being battered. It’s all in your head; just get over it and man up.

River felt again like she was about to burst into tears, not for herself but for the man she still loved regardless of his rejection of her. He didn’t have anyone to turn to so he was going to cocoon himself in a blanket of solitude in order to evade the hurt and pain that he was going to have to face in order to deal with the years of mental abuse that had come down the turnpike from that bitch of a mother of his. He was going to have to deal with years of complex post-traumatic stress disorder with a counselor from years of dealing with Mayumi’s bullshit.

And the hard question in her mind was could she crack open that cocoon that he’d erected to protect himself.

The part of her heart that had been sorely wounded by his callous behavior told her to run away as fast as she could. Avoid ever having to deal with him ever again.

But the part of her who had spent so many years with him as a friend, said, you can’t leave him like this if you’ve ever considered him your friend because you’ll prove right everything he believes is true if you do. He believes that he’s not worth anything to anyone; and I have to prove to him that he is worth something to me.

She said to herself, I’ll give him a few days to get used to the fact that he’s on his own then I’ll go see what he’s doing. I’m not giving up on him. She resolved to herself as she looked out the window at the darkness.

But was she going to be able to withstand the veritable windstorm she was going to end up unleashing? All the years of pent-up frustration and anger held inside of him in a tight grip so that he would never let it get out of control. He needed to release all that to heal, River understood, but would she be able to withstand that fury if it was directed at her? He needed to gain closure, to heal from the multiple dripping emotional wounds that still covered him. To do that, he would have to face pain like he’d never felt before: the realization that his mother never loved him nor had she wanted the responsibility of raising a child to adulthood along with its accompanying bumps in the road of child-rearing.

River contemplated how Haruo would feel throughout the process. Uncovering the raw wound that ate at him. The simple fact was that Mayumi quite possibly used Haruo as a means to an end; to gain acceptance from her father; Haruo’s Grandpa who had been a hard man to please. After all, this was pre-WWI and WWII and post-WWII was coming to grips that they had to rebuild their future so there was no time for the Miyagawas to even contemplate having a moment to rest and think. The children were expected to perform in their academics at a high calibre or run the risk of not being able to cement a stable future. And that extended to the grandchildren too. And Haruo’s mother, Mayumi spent most of her time dumping all over her son.

River blamed Mayumi for all the pain that Mayumi had inflicted on her son. Her abuse was the main reason why Haruo reacted the way he did to any sort of stressful situation. He ended up cocooning himself to keep from being emotionally hurt again. That way, he could get through the everyday things that one needed to do to make a living. But it was avoidance of those painful memories that was preventing him from healing, that made his life so raw whenever stressful things were brought up.

Isis decided to make a big show out of her birthday makeover, making Ophelia sit down in her living chair and close her eyes until it was time.

Isis: Okay, Nana, don't look yet! I'm gonna pose to give ya the full effect!"

Ophelia: Haha, okay.

Ophelia: Baby, what'd you do to your hair?

Isis: I styled it, silly! D'ya like it?

Ophelia: ...Well, it's just... I liked it curly.

'Your mama didn't inherit my curly hair. It was nice to see it on my grandbaby.'

Isis: C'mon, Nana. It's bad enough you couldn't magically fix my teeth. Can you imagine going to school with braces and huge n' frizzy hair?

Ophelia: Okay, I got it. No more curly hair in school.

I'm going for gold, lads, lasses, and other gendered classes!

Do you like visual novels? Do you like stories about the fey? Do you like your entertainment as EDUTAINMENT?

IF SO, BOY HOWDY DO I HAVE A VISUAL NOVEL PROJECT FOR YOU.

youtube

The Good People (Na Daoine Maithe) is a lore-rich and choice-driven romantic visual novel inspired by Irish mythology. Play as an Irish tenant farmer from the mid-19th century, whose path becomes inexplicably entwined with fairy affairs after getting robbed by the roadside and lured into the mythic and war-torn world of Tír na nÓg: A once unified land, now divided into the Seelie and Unseelie Courts. Will you escape with your stolen belongings? Or does fate have something else in mind?

OKAY, BUT WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU, SEEKER OF SEROTONIN?

6 wonderful romantic/PLATONIC options (each love interest can be pursued entirely platonically)

a visual novel whose philosophy is less on anxiety-inducing, arbitrary choices to get a good or bad ending, but instead focuses on if you, the player, are interacting with a character in a healthy or unhealthy manner, leading to player freedom and choice

intelligent and reflective writing that is reflected within character moments and dialogue

and MORE! (so much more!)

WHERE CAN I FIND MORE OUT ABOUT THIS GAME?

Here is the bio link, which has links for the indie developers' social media accounts (Tumblr, Twitter, Discord Server) along with the link to their official website, which has a deep dive into every main NPC and the philosophy of the game. The demo is out now and free on both Steam and Itch.io

(As an official statement: I am in no way employed or affiliated with Moirai Myths and I was not approached in any way to make this post. This is me being a feral fan on main, blazing this post)

EDIT:

HELLO EVERYONE! DID YALL KNOW THE KICKSTARTER FOR THIS GAME JUST LAUNCHED TODAY? NOW YOU DO! MORE DETAILS AND MORE FUN TO BE HAD!

They’re doing voice acting reveals this month, along with an early bird special to see blushing/flirty emotes!

EDIT THE SECOND:

WE HAVE REACHED FULL FUNDING WITH THE GAME! Which is excellent, because it means that my little hyperfixation is gonna be made!

However!

It would be very nice if we could reach some of the stretch goals (which go into depth here: x). Not only are they fun (MC customization, a switch port, expanded voice-over work, more sprites, mini-games, side stories), but I think they'd spark a lot of serotonin for folks playing (myself included).

If this post has interested you at all, please, please, please check out the Kickstarter above! Thank you!

EDIT THE THIRD

Since this is still getting notes beyond my wildest dreams:

Hello! It's been a while! The Kickstarter ended a bit ago (I did not update this post when it did end, due to being ecstatic to how much the project managed to get: 130% funding!), but development is ongoing and strong! The first two routes are in development right now. Please keep tuned at @moiraimyths for official development updates!

More Kisses Mod #4

More Kisses Pack 4 is finally ready! This new pack adds 2 new kissing animations. This time I've also included a sad hug animation, which IS romantic this time.

More Kisses is in the "Physical Intimacy" category.

Hesitation and a Kiss

Tearful Tender Kiss

This interaction requires the targetsim to be sad. So in other words the sim you are clicking on needs to be sad in order for the option to show up.

Depending on how close your sim is with their partner you will receive different notification outcomes. These are examples of texts you can get from someone you have a strong romantic relationship with.

Credits

Thank you to the pancake1 for their s4animtools this was so life-changing when it came to making animations available in-game!

Big thanks to Utoypa CC who always makes the best animations!

Requirements?

You need:

XML Injector

The Mood Pack (If your UI disappears or there are UI issues after you play an animation with a mod it is because the Mood Pack isn't properly installed or installed at all. Please make sure you make note of this.)

BG Compatible

Future Plans and Updates

More interactions. Once I am able to I will separate interactions.

How to install the mod?

Download Below and drag the package file into your mods folder.

If the mod isn't showing up then xml injector isn't properly installed or installed at all.

If your UI disappears or there are UI issues after you play an animation with a mod it is because the mood pack isn't properly installed or installed at all. Please make sure you make note of this.

Welcome to Blooming Hills!

It's a tight knit community in Blooming Hills; but a small community can harbor intense drama. The oldest citizens are happy with their quiet way of life, whereas it seems like the youth is yearning for a change of pace. When heads keep butting, will families get separated? Or will everyone find common ground somehow?

The Wright Family

The Wrights own most of the land in Blooming Hills, and they've worked tirelessly to keep expanding their wealth for generations… But Amelia's son, Leonard, doesn't seem to be interested in lifting a finger as much as he just wants to live in excess. As the matriarch faces the end of her days, will she really leave decades of generational riches to her child? Or is she secretly looking for a new heir?

The Gallardo Family

Manuel and Mireya are high-school sweethearts turned loving parents. Both raised with very traditional values, how will they react when young Juancho starts showing interest in things that don't align with his father's plans for him? Will he find acceptance from his parents as he grows older, or will he have to flee home to be his true self?

The O'Mill Family

After touring the world as a punk rock duo, Sylvie and Barney settled down in quaint little Blooming Hills to start a family. No one would guess that these rebellious icons would now be living as run-of-the-mill friendly neighbors, but they're happier than ever staying out of the limelight. When creativity seems to run in the family, it's no wonder that young Ron would feel pressured to find a talent of his own. Can he live up to the expectations that he seems to have set for himself?

The Love Family

Being a parent is tough, being a single parent is even harder; raising three kids with huge personalities on your own? Well, just ask Larry. Although things can get frantic, love always prevails in this family. Landon is getting ready for college, Lydia can't wait to make new friends and little Luke is growing fast. With so many challenges in their lives, will the Love family bonds remain strong?

The Loner Family

No one really knows much about the mysterious Wolff or why he lives quite literally in the middle of nowhere… Is he just a harmless hermit enjoying life off the grid? Or does he know something the rest of the town doesn't?
