Or, How An Otherwise Incredibly Private Man Came Out To The World Because When I Play-tested His First

Or, how an otherwise incredibly private man came out to the world because when I play-tested his first challenge he physically refused to flirt with women.

Kiss Me in Komorebi 🌹 New Save+

Below you'll find an explanation of why I'm starting this Challenge from the ground up, an apology for my former applicants, and the form to follow for your submissions! Thank you for indulging me for so long in my obsession with this blorbo of mine.

Why the plus? Because otomes will smack lil' plus signs on updated versions of their dating games, and I'm a dork.

Let's be real - I bit off a little more than I could chew the first time around! This new version of KMIK will feature gameplay-heavy storytelling with posed scenes in-between!

I want to make it up to the applicants who waited so long to see this Bachelor Challenge come to fruition, and I genuinely want Daniel to have a fair shot at meeting someone truly meant for him - so I'm opening twenty one slots: seven for my former Contestants (two of which are taken by Daithi Calloway and Josiah Bolton), seven for my former Outsiders, and seven slots for new sims! Of course, the final number will be decided by the number of slots filled!

These three houses will rotate group dates and challenges with Daniel as he whittles down the numbers. In-universe, Dan hates the spotlight of fame, and was an incredibly private man (bar his new cult following on SimTok) before being influenced to be the star of his own Bachelor Challenge by his (well-meaning) agent and siblings. He went into this in the hopes that the contracted work would mean he'd not have to worry about his mother's health bills or his nieces and nephews' college funds for a little while.

However, when he got actual applications in, pictures of real sims who had applied just for the chance to meet him, to fall in love with him... well, it gave him a cold shock of reality. After a period of radio silence, the studio released a statement that said Daniel was deeply sorry, but that he wanted to give this a fair shot, and that meant he'd have to be more open and honest about himself than he was ever comfortable being.

THE APPLICATION

Name: Age: (lifestage and number, please) Traits: Aspiration: - please feel free to include any fun facts about your sim that you'd like to list! - i'm a dork and i love writing prompts based on the autonomous actions sims choose in-game. developing your sims' skills and likes will help them act more like themselves! - i will be using height sliders when i can, so feel free to include your sim's height! (for posing/gameplay purposes)

Please tag your application with #kmikapp!

Though I am excited for this clean start, I do want to apologize to all of my former applicants - both for the time it took for me to go through the acceptance process, and the time it took you waiting for me to get back to my desktop... only to learn that the sims you made weren't even going to be used. Believe me, I am no stranger to the loss of a Challenge sim: and I hope that by offering you all an automatic spot in this new save, I can make it up to you a little!

The two existing male contestants (Daithi by @buglaur and Josiah Bolton by @retro-plasma) will remain in the competition, seeing as they were already written to participate as contestants. But given that I'm forgoing the Outsiders concept for the ease of the Bachelor Challenge format, I thought I would offer all of my Outsider applicants the chance to make contestants! As some of my former participants are inactive, I thought this was the best way to reach out - I am really going to be better about talking one-on-one, though.

ANYWAY, I'm so excited to go on this journey with Daniel, and I can only hope you guys are as eager to see what awaits us as I am! Thank you for reading this far - let's try this again, shall we? 🌹

I’m super excited for Growing Together’s gameplay, but why don’t we have new kitchen counters? Why give us a fridge and stove if we aren’t going to have any counters that match? I’d prefer we get something else other than yet more pieces that don’t go with anything else swatch or design wise. That shower though, oh my god sims team thank you. We have been in desperate need of a new bath and shower combo. Also that piano is amazing and I’m in love.

I’m just very confused at the choice to not give us kitchen counters and I feel like CAS, Build Mode, and especially the world took a hit so the gameplay could be so fleshed out, which isn’t how it should be.

Yooooo.

Real quick let's unpack this. 1. It is extremely racist to take a word that primarily black folks say and give it a negative connotation; if you say some shit like "yassify" and say it's bad, you are directly taking yassss, a word we say, and turning it into something ugly with a negative meaning. Do not try to tell me that's not exactly what a racist would do. 2. To then throw alpha cc in the mix and call all alpha cc a way of "yassifying" sims is yet another racist and hateful thing to do. 3. To mix that in with sexualizing younger sims is truly fucked. It means you're equating the use of alpha cc with being a total sicko, as if all alpha cc is "nasty and filthy and sexualizing", and because this means "yassifying" you're tryin to tell me it's the black folks who do this....

I'm just trying to show you something. So now that we've unpacked this you can be more mindful of wtf you say... OR you can carry on saying this kinda wack ass shit and show me just who and what you really are, confirming to me that YOU are the real problem.

Alpha skin details, alpha makeup, alpha skin, lashes, and a maxis match skin overlay. Stop playin. My infant is CUTE AS HELL. Shit on alpha if you really want to, but this is a petty rivalry gone bad. Stop the slick ass lowkey racism. Thank you.
