Rambling tales of SF sims (with bonus cat pic spam)

[Caspin]

Well I'm sitting here at my desk, dunking ginger biscuits in my coffee and admiring the snowy garden. What a good day for simming and hallelujah for a working game!

Now, would you describe yourself as a 'morning person', Minty? I am a million times more functional at 7am than at 7pm, yet my sim does not mirror that. Here are our sims making breakfast. You look demented and I look trolleyed. Oh well. Better get that French toast on the go and I will manufacture some coffees.




Today is the summer festival in Monte Vista! As soon as the message popped up, there was a rumble of thunder and a tonne of rain started to fall. It went very, very dark. "Wow, look at all that rain, Minty. Where shall we eat? How about this nice table in the kitchen, or one of the sofas?" "No, let's sit outside and get totally soaked!" "Yeah!"




Sigh. Oh well, time to leave Minty to his own devices for a while, I'm off to the festival with Ollie!

Summer Festival in Monte Vista




Hoorah, an outdoor venue! Brilliant. Since I have CAS working again, I edited Ollie's YA outfit. Ollie I know you like dogs so I picked a T-shirt with a dog picture on it and some jeans and trainers. Hope that's OK. So what did we do at the festival? Well we set off a load of fireworks and ate snow cones in the rain!




Since we were already soaked we thought we might as well throw some water balloons too. Your aim was very good Ollie! I knocked you over just once, whereas I might as well have just stayed on the ground, there was so little point standing up again!




After that you went home to see Rosaria and I hung about to pick some flowers. I've actually lightened some of these pictures but you can still see how very dark it is when it rains. Look at the pretty town on the hill in the background!




Gardening in the rain

Meanwhile what's Minty up to? Ah yes, eating more toast... in the garden. You will note that he is actually sitting there (in his PJs) in a massive puddle. What a loon!




For some reason, it is still necessary to water the garden even when the rain is torrential. This seems absurd but there we go. Minty got the job done while modelling his new umbrella, which I recoloured appropriately. It's a Sims Forums brolly! At least he got dressed for the gardening.




Keeping virtual bees - perils and successes

[removed] might be pleased to know that we managed to make honey!

Caspin had a bit of a false start:




WAAAAAaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh, help!!!




I got stung. Boo to the bees!

Decided to divert the bees attention toward Minty instead and managed to smoke them, feed them and harvest the honey.




Honey!




Umbrellas for the 1980s

Um. What you doing?




Oh dear God, why?!




Well!

Now going back in to see if I can (1) catch a freaking deathfish (I just can't get one and time is running out!), (2) get Minty abducted by aliens (well I don't fancy the probing and you're green anyway ) and (3) take [removed] out for a spa break (coz, you know, we're girls).

Later:

[removed], you got a puppy!




Her name is Libby. Aw!
