Annie's post about her Waset sim made me want to start playing the game again. And since I know people generally like to ramble for HOURS about their sims and post tons of screenshots ( I know I do), I thought I'd make a general topic for anyone who plays and wants to share stuff about their non-Sunrise-related characters. I'll go first. Because I enjoy blathering. This is Scheherazade, my current child, with one of the family dogs, Mikhail. Aw. Aren't they cute? WAIT OH GOD IT'S A DEMON CHILD. D: AND A DEMON DOG. D: D: I see what you did there. Thayamu is onto you, Mikhail. Happy birthday, 'Hera! Here, I'll blow this noisemaker right by your ear for good luck! Birthdays remind me that I'm going to die soon. What was that, honey? Could you speak up a little? Keshawn and 'Hera are so adorable. ...Until he gets tired of playing daddy and puts her on the ground for safekeeping. Hi there! You're cute! I just want you to know that I would totally make out with you right now in spite of the fact that your boyfriend is glaring at me from two feet away. It wouldn't be any trouble at all. Really. Why do I feel like there's something evil right behind me? God I love me. I'm so handsome I have to dream about myself. <3 This fellow was sitting on the couch, minding his own business, when a random townie came in and stood in front of him. He did not enjoy the view. His father later reacted the same way when he saw a married couple kissing each other. It runs in the family. \/ \/ And that's enough from me! I could keep captioning these for ages, though. XD Also, does anyone else still love the Sims 1? I had some freakin' awesome mods for it and I'd still play it in spite of its hideous outdatedness if I could get it to run on my XP computer.

Those last two pictures are hilarious, Sho. XD And I love Mikhail! <3 Let's see... We'll start with this one. Waset on the left as a teenager. She's a quadruplet. XD I have since moved her siblings out, and it's been so long since I played them that I cannot remember their names. Oops. XD I am a horrible sim mother! But I will say that Waset's sister's get total chipmunk-cheeks when they grow up. Which is why Waset was chosen as the heiress. XD Edit: Looked the names up. XD From left to right: Waset, Nefertiti, Osiris (only boy!) and Ma'at. Old man eats out of garbage can. GO AWAY, OLD MAN! Edit: Old Man is Mitch Indie, one of the playable characters from.. some expansion or other. He's married to Maya, one of the generation 15 kids from my longest running family. John Travis, current heir of my longest running family (Maya's big brother), does the streaker thing while in college. I love the expression on that kid's face at the table. xD The bus was stopped, but from this angle, when the dog, Micah, was jumping back from the skunk spray.. it looked like he was getting hit by the bus. Whats-her-face (I AM SO BAD WITH NAMES.. and she's been dead for ages now, so shush) ventures back to the very back of the lot where all the gravestones are kept. And seems very surprised to find them there. OMGWTF WHAT DID I MARRY INTO?! Edit: This is LINDA, wife of the gen 13 heir, Noah! I'm on gen 16 of this family, at the moment (it's not the same family Waset is from; Waset is generation 8 of another family, and she has two kids.. so I'm up to gen 9 on her family). This is Waset's mom, Athena, when she was a toddler, with their cat, Bastian. XD I will leave it at there for now. But expect more pictures from me. I have a billion. XD

Old man eating out of garbage. WTF? I've had neighbours come by to read the newspaper, steal lawn gnomes, and kick over the garbage...but they've never come by to EAT out of it. XD And I have a family who would be very likely to do that! I'm sure his wife would be veeery interested to know what he does when he's out of the house. XD I love the streaking picture. Kid at the table is like 'WHA? D:' ;D I just found this... Renavio is such a jerk. (Explanation--I use SimPE to change my sims' heights. His girlfriend there is 5'3", while he's about 6'2". And she carries HIM!)

*laughs* XD That is awesome, Sho. She looks like she is all WTF HEAVY LEGS BUCKLING! I killed my vampire sim, Count Jason (Waset's great great great great (I think that's enough greats) grandfather) by sunlight, and when ol' Grimmy showed up, I was surprised to see Jason's wedding band still hanging around in midair! I had this whole story plotted out around it, how it would be the One Ring and Hobbits lived somewhere on the lot.. but when Grimmy vanished, the ring vanished too. Boo. Back to my longest running family. This is generation 13 heiress, Cecily (who later glitches so her brother Noah becomes the heir) at college. And this picture amuses me. >D Same family, but going backwards in time. This is generation 8 heir, Calvin, watching TV as he takes a break from all his kids. This picture amuses me because I always imagine him singing, "SUNNY DAY, SWEEPIN' THE CLOUDS AWAY! ON MY WAY TO WHERE THE AIR! IS! SWEET! CAN YOU TELL ME HOW TO GET, HOW TO GET TO SESAME STREET!" Calvin again. With his daughter, Sheridan, on the left (she is my favorite sim EVER). Sheri is all, "DAD. Your soup stories SUCK SHUT UP WATCHING TV!" And to the right is Calvin's wife, Tara, who is off in her own blissful little world. As she often was, because she was pregnant pretty much all the freaking time. Backwards in time, because I went through my pictures in the wrong order. XD Sheridan as a kid, talking to Armando the mailman. I'd already picked out Armando to be her future husband and sent her out to talk to him for the first time.. and marriage is the first thing she brought up. XD Calvin! Again! With.. either Sheridan, or her sister Katalina. The kitchen caught on fire, and Calvin had been holding the baby in there.. so he put her on the floor and did the Fire Freakout(tm). Only to realize, BABY! NEAR FIRE! BAD! And he picked her up and ran out of the house. XD Still backwards in time! Sheridan as a toddler! And Tara dancing. And Sheri is all, MOM YOU DANCE WORSE THAN A POTTY. Now, forward in time! Someone died, so everyone rushed into the bathroom. Sheridan and Armando are in there, and the naked guy is their son-in-law, Dawson. Who is all 'SUP GUYS WHERE THE PARTY?! And NOW. Over to Waset's family! The very beginning of her family. This is the 2nd generation boy, Set - so, Waset's great great great great uncle, I think - being KIDNAPPED by the babysitter! Yes. She got in the van and drove off with him and he vanished from the family list. Luckily, saving, exiting, and reloading the lot brought him back! Set's momma, and the founder of Waset's family, Isis. She got a promotion to the top of the police career, so she and her friend from work came home the super hero way! Her friend had JUST landed, but from the angle and look on her face, it looks like she's about to attack Isis from behind. Count Jason and his version of JAZZ HANDS! Tawaret (Waset's.. great great great grandmother) is moving the tv. That.. looks like it hurts.

I want that penguin! Which expansion pack does it come with? Seasons? Gah, I love all your sim pictures. Especially the Isis one and the one with Dawson (yes, belated!). XD The look on his face is priceless.

Some very strange things happened today while I was playing... First off, THIS GUY. He's been in my house for a week, doing nothing but playing game after game of chess and making polite conversation with everyone in the household when they come and join him. He creeps me out. I don't trust him and his delicately make-upped face. Then it seemed like a day for very strange expressions. You can really see the resemblance between Angela and Scheherazade when they decide to start looking disturbing. I feel sorry for Keshawn, but considering that he once got himself stuck as a werewolf and seemed quite happy to stay that way, maybe he's just in like company. Even my chess-playing squatter got in on it, treating each move he made as if it were a matter of life and death. Actually, it may well have been a matter of life and death, because one of the cats, Tumelo, died the next day. His daughter Ume (to the left) was devestated, while his mate Waggles (right) seemed more interested in chasing bugs. What the-- Another one for the 'strange expressions' pile, I guess. A rare display of affection between Keshawn and his wife. Aw. <3 In spite of the fact that they've been married all their adult lives, with an almost-teenaged daughter and another baby on the way, his mother did not approve. Around ten o'clock at night, this guy showed up out of the blue and rang to be let in. Not only is he unrelated, he isn't even an acquaintance; he doesn't know anyone in the family and I don't think I've even seen him walking by the house before. Whoever he is, he's got terrible fashion sense. A lime-green life jacket? Really? Well, there's only one thing to do with all these weirdos who keep showing up at my doorstep... MAKEOVER! Whoever you are, you're now welcome in my gene pool. Just get better clothes. Edit:After his makeover, my now well-dressed stranger decided to keep hanging out for no real reason. I guess he liked his new look. The freeloading chess player appears to have found something he enjoys as much as chess. He took a break from shuffling pawns around to walk right up to Renavio and kiss him. Afterwards, he bashfully looked away. Nonplussed, Renavio wandered off to play SSX 3. Meanwhile, the other visitor headed outside to bond with Mikhail for awhile. But then! At around midnight, he began to walk away across the lawn! Could it be that he's actually being polite and leaving at a decent hour?! ...No, he and Mikhail just wanted to go hang out by the cars. I guess he's glommed onto me, too. Renavio definitely has an admirer. Shortly after that game concluded, he seemed to realise that he'd been visiting for entirely too long and ran, not walked, off the lot. I was glad to see him go, but I do have to wonder why he took so long to leave. Angela: I think I'm going into labour. Kallisto: No wai! Angela: Definitely going into labour. No! Not again! Keshawn showed up to watch the birth, along with the rest of the household, but he didn't seem happy. He flailed around and complained through most of it. I guess it was interrupting his SSX 3 time. Baby Yves makes lucky number thirteen of the household. Keshawn seemed shocked by his son! He did eventually come over and cheer, however, along with the rest of the family and even Kacper the Now-Not-So-Fashion-Inept-Stranger. The only ones who weren't present were Karra and Renavio, because they were off cuddling and couldn't be bothered to come congratulate the new parents. "Hm. What was that commotion outside?" "Nothing important." "You're probably right. Say, I wonder when Angela's due..."

Yeah, the penguin comes with Seasons. He shows up mostly in winter and wanders around. And if you have been fishing (also comes with Seasons) and have a fish lying around, he'll eat it. Or (if the fish is on a plaque on the wall, like mine are) it jumps around trying to reach them. XD Very cute. Too bad it can't be adopted as a pet, though. That would be awesome! D: Also.. so THAT is the scary face guy? Wow. D: And oooh. I have a picture similar to one of your odd facial expressions! Hold on... Sheridan, doing her pirate impression. And one more, just for kicks: "Domo arigato Mr. Roboto" Kamau.. you know you want to play. DON'T RESIST. DEATH COMES FROM SKY!

Oh man. I'm not sure I have the CD-ROM with me though. I may have left it at my parents' house when I was staying the summer with them. ...I will have to check. XD

This is an older picture, but I just found it today. When Waset and her siblings were born, it made for 5 children in the house.. 1 toddler and 4 infants. So I had their grandmother, Tristen, call in sick to work. And in the upper right corner where it should be some random sim from her work telling her to take the day off? It's.. herself. She called herself to tell herself that she was too sick to come to work. And herself answered. I just have this amusing mental picture of her picking up the phone, but not dialing a number, and just holding a conversation with herself. XD "*coughhack* Hi.. this is..*hork*..Tristen...I won't be..*sniffle*..in today..." "Oh, Tristen! Poor dear! Have the day off!" XD Edit: oops. One more! XD Waset as a toddler, and her older sister Sekhmet. Sekhmet: "Waset, are you gunna learn how to walkies soon? You gunna learn how to walkies? Walkies, walkies, Waset will be a big, girl, yes she will!" Waset: "Will you be quiet, woman! I'm trying to use higher math here! Kindly take your baby blathering elsewhere, thank you!"

So I had one of the best pictures ever. The dad was holding the little toddler at her birthday party, but once she grew into a child.... he was still holding her, and they kind of ... merged into one person. So he's standing there, and you can't see his face because around about his chest area, her feet start.... so together they look like one, very tall, mutated person. But the quality of the screenshots my game takes is TERRIBLE, so I can't share. You'll just have to imagine the hideous mutant-Sim-ness.

Aww. :x
Is your game not set up to take better quality pictures? You can adjust that in-game by, on the control panel, click the button with the three little dots. And then, to the right of there, Camera Options. And there you can choose snapshot size and quality. I /think/ it defaults to low or medium for quality, so you can change it to take better pictures.

Why making juice out of a boot found while fishing is a Not Good Thing (But Pretty Darn Funny Still):

This was going to be a post of Puppies/Kittens I Have Adopted From The Adoption Thing And How Pretty/Ugly They Have Turned Out.. but then most of the pictures I have of those pets are horrid, so. INSTEAD. Just some random pictures of some pets. This is Nala. One of the Kittens Adopted EtcEtc, and she turned out so pretty. Nala, sitting in the snow. Get back inside, Nala (I eventually got tired of the darn cats running outside where I could not keep an eye on them, so the front and back doors are locked to keep them in). Nala's daughter from her second litter, Akase. So pretty! Nala's other daughter from her second litter, Kula. Kula sez OMGWTFBBQ?! Nala's two sons from this litter, Chumvi and Malka, look exactly like Kula.. and her daughter from her first litter, Kiara, looks pretty much the same.. just a bit more white-faced. And a couple glitchy pictures... Long distance bathing? Emmy is kneeling down and putting Jackson into the tub.. even though she is nowhere near the tub. I left the walls down so you can see behind her, the tub in the bathroom is steaming and full of water like it IS being interacted with. And then she puts him in the tub, and Jackson appears across the house IN THE TUB (see him back there?) while his mom goes through the motions of bathing him, while not really being anywhere near him. When finished, she lifted him out of the tub.. and he transported back from the tub to her arms. Funky. And later. Long-distance massage!
