Bluewater Village 2024

I'm not going to be documenting every detail this time, but I am back in Bluewater! (I finally found a work/life balance that lets me play sims every once in a while!) I've played four rounds now, so maybe 15-20 years? Let's call it 20 because it's a nicer number.

I'm still playing with the basic rules I had all those years ago (2016!) but I focused more on gameplay than on storytelling and I've changed some of the challenges. I'll share more about each family and their challenges in individual posts. (Otherwise this one would get way too big!)

The Kat Family (need new challenge)

I tried. I really really really really really really really really tried. I tried to do the cat thing. I was going to be really good. I was going to have her breed the cats and then she owns a pet shop now and she was going to go to the pet shop with the cats and sell them to customers there and somehow raised 20 cats. I think we got to maybe eight total before I finally gave up this past round. All of the cats are in the adoption pool now.

So, yeah, these guys need a new challenge… I will be looking for one. In the meantime, Tara married Alan Cho, a Bluewater townie who knocked her up. they are fine together. I don’t mind them at all. (They’re kind of boring… maybe now all the cats are gone I can find something more interesting for them to do…)

They have twins, because of course they do. Their daughter’s name is Angora. Their son’s name is Bombay. Because Tara the obsessed cat lady would obviously name her children after breeds of cats. they just became children instead of toddlers, so all I know about them right now is they used to both like throwing Pet food in the air. Which might say something more about Tara’s parenting, then about her children.

I need to find just the right challenge for these guys… We’ll see what I come up with.

The holidays can be stressful

Kim Officially Wacky Boolprop Challenge

Ah, the Kims! An officially wacky chaos family if there ever was one!

Justin doesn’t count and every OWBC family needs 3 pregnancies, so in addition to the eldest Kim kid, we have Barbara and Billie, Osgood, and Oscar. The O boys are not twins, but they’re close in age.

The family also has 3 dogs: Gabby the original, Pongo the one with the black ear, and Winnie, their puppy and the one with pointy ears. they are probably going to be Justin’s once he comes back from college. I don’t know if he’s going to breed more dalmatians, but he’s definitely the one in charge of the dogs.

Robert and Cynthia, of course still have their big personalities. And by big personalities I mean that Robert is a moron and Cynthia and in everybody’s business. they just got the rest of the kids into private school, no, thanks to Robert, who almost burned the house down and killed himself. When I looked over, he was the only thing on fire. I almost didn’t have Justin save him. But we need him to make the army of robots that we require for the challenge.

(I really do like these guys – – they’re just super chaotic and not very smart. Which I guess it’s the definition of Sims.)

They are already selling data to midjourney, and it's very likely your work is already being used to train their models because you have to OPT OUT of this, not opt in. Very scummy of them to roll this out unannounced.

From instructions on how to opt out, look at the official staff post on the topic. It also gives more information on Tumblr's new policies. If you are opting out, remember to opt out each separate blog individually.

Please reblog this post, so it will get more votes!
