Sticky: infoHi! I'm Jess and I recently got back into writing about and posting about my sims gameplay and stories! I currently have two on the go; a Sims 4 uberhood (based on Sims 2) and a Sims 2 uberhood. The Sims 4 is an exercise in loving that game again, the Sims 2 is deeply story-based and has been excessively customized. I hope you'll come on this ride with me.
This page is still a WIP while I decide what links to put where and flesh out the information. Thanks.
As I've said before; because I didn't think or plan on doing this, I didn't take as many photos of the first few families of round 1 as I would have liked!! Regardless, I'll do my best for these first few posts.
When we join Brandi, she's already struggling. Her husband recently died, leaving her alone with barely a penny to her name, trying to raise a teenage son she had a little too young (just before her sixteenth birthday, in fact) and a toddler she and Skip decided to have, together.
It's not that Brandi's unhappy, it's more that this isn't the ideal life she hoped she'd have one day, and it sure as hell isn't the life she wants for her son.
Dustin's a sweet kid, he really is, but every now and again Brandi catches him doing or saying things that aren't quite...right.
To Brandi, Dustin seems erratic, acting out in the hope of... what? Getting his father's attention? Brandi wishes it was that simple. He's a rebellious soul, and sometimes he comes home with bruises on his face or other marks she doesn't know how to ask about.
In another life, she'd be a better mom, she's sure of it. But she's barely holding it together even now.
It isn't like she can exactly judge. She wasn't all that better at his age, or... younger, she supposes. It's part of growing up in a place like this.
Dustin's a good kid. He's just going through a lot right now.
On the other side of things, is Beau.
Brandi doesn't think she's raising a tiny pyromaniac, but she's also not positive she isn't raising a tiny pyromaniac. Things have been... not quite right around the house ever since he learned to walk, let alone now he's starting to talk too.
For all Brandi thinks of her sons, the truth is they aren't doing quite as badly as she thinks.
Dustin, sure, he's working four jobs as well as attending and almost failing high-school, but he's also madly in love with his girlfriend, Angela.
Really, it could be worse.
Even if their deceased father doesn't exactly ever leave them alone...
Morning is creeping in through the glass when she awakes, blinking grit from her eyes and struggling, bit by bit, to come around from what feels like a dead sleep.
( Nothing around her is familiar. )
Bella Goth is missing. Pleasantview is in turmoil. Across the country, in the desert, a woman in a red dress wakes alone in a motel room, with no idea who she is or how she got there.
The Strangest Tale is my Sims 2 story-based uberhood. It includes all of the towns, cities and university from the games, and has a 4-day year lifespan. To begin with it will be Pleasantview, Strangetown, Veronaville and Bluewater village, and the rest will be incorporated in over time.

finrsims , I've decided to post my Sims 4 and Sims 2 Uberhoods here. Sims 4 I've been at for a little while, so the first few posts will be recaps rather than writing, I think. I'll sift through my screenshots and find the good ones. Sims 2 I'm starting mostly fresh, so that'll be written as I go.

simtacula involves making aliens and all sorts and it's taking a while, so I'm taking a break to play with a cute little young mom and her toddler in a trailer I built. Here's some photos!
