announcing Heatwaves - a rotational gameplay story!
what is heatwaves?
Heatwaves is literally what happens when you lie in bed late at night thinking about your blorbos and wondering what their lives would be like in high school. So I created a new save file, took some of my favorite sims (who are all successful adults in my main save) and turned them into teenagers so they could experience the best time of their lives - filled with drama, hormonal chaos and exams.
who are the protagonists?
Heatwaves focuses on the lives of four high school students and their classmates. Each family is played in turn for 7 days (Monday - Sunday).
please note!
I'm not very familiar with the US school system, as the German school system works a bit differently. The school system in Heatwaves will be a mix of my own experiences and made-up stuff.
The protagonists in Heatwaves are all between the ages of 17 and 19, as that is the usual age to graduate from high school in Germany.
I had way too much fun creating this yearbook. Also I'm fully aware that a yearbook is usually created at the end of a schoolyear (at least that's how it's done in Germany) but what better way is there than to introduce the characters in a high school story than via a silly yearbook entry? c:
POV: You're a teacher at Copperdale High School who volunteered to take the yearbook photos, and these are some pictures you took that didn't make it into the actual yearbook.

Himmelblau - Die Ärzte
Been listening to old songs from Die Ärzte today and had this sudden urge to take some peacefull screenshots of my favorite couples. I hope the eye bug gets fixed soon. Most of the poses I wanted to use looked weird due to the eyes being half open.
that's just the weight of the world - we do what we must to get by that's just the weight of the world - the weak and the weary will never survive
Character introduction: The Nobrowskis
The Nobrowskis may look like the perfect family on paper, but secrets run deep.
Alexander's father, Maksym Nobrowski, is the current CEO of Kasper Institute, an internationally known and highly respected medical research center. Both Alexander's father and grandfather expect him to take over the family business one day, but Alexander has no real interest in medicine and struggles with the idea of having his whole life planned out by others.
Nasja, Alexander's younger sister, dreams of going to university one day. But her parents are very traditional and want Nasja to start a family of her own early rather than waste her best years chasing a degree she has no use for. Nasja desperately tries to convince her family that a woman can do more than just take care of the household and raise children, but despite her good grades in High School her father doesn't waver from his outdated view.

Are you really on vacation if you don't try on some silly hats? 🎩

Tao is the golden retriever among my OCs. An absolute ray of sunshine that can't hurt nobody.
Call is a bodyguard. But he looks more threatening than he is and can actually be super sweet if you get to know him better.
Jules works as a lawyer and there has been more than one opponent who underestimated him solely because of his innocent look.
Alexander would not hesitate to kill if there is something between him and his goals. Rumor has it there has been at least one person he murdered in his past but surely that's just exaggeration, right?

I had so much fun dressing up my sims for Halloween. The theme I picked for myself this year was "masquerade at the Immernacht circus" - so I went with something less spooky and a bit more elegant for the costumes! 🎪⚰️
We have Grace (the empress) as our fortune teller. Are you brave enough to allow her a look into your future?
Alexander (the emperor) as our ringmaster and art director. He's the one keeping the show running.
And Avery (the hierophant) as our talented magician. Whatever strange phenomen you might encounter, keep in mind that magic is but an illusion. It all just happens in this sweet little head of yours.
please note: I don't know much about tarot. The cards picked for these characters are entirely based on a quick Google search.

The stage is set. The actors are dressed. Let the show beginn!
The Immernacht Circus is a fantastical place. Every year on the night of October 31, it appears as if from nowhere and blurs the worlds between phantasm and reality. The gates are open. Come in and be our guest and enjoy a night full of wonder.
Just a bunch of outtakes :D
Have you seen the new DLC trailer? 👀
I must admit I'm not hyped hyped, but still very excited to learn more about this pack! Also, the new world seems to be inspired by Romania. I absolute love that we finally get an eastern european world! I always headcanon Alex and Nasja being eastern european. So finally having a matching world makes me really happy.
