New download folder means new uberhood.

Make overs of the Caliente sisters cause according to SS it’s “trendy” right now.

I moved Nina out cause she wanted to.

I’ve often wondered about Nina’s “move out” want. It’s one of those built in wants that seems unrelated to gameplay (sims usually only get that one just after they age up to adult, if they didn’t go to college), so it seems more like a prompt for story direction.

Is it maybe because of Dina’s upcoming wedding to Mortimer? When combined with that family snapshot of her crying at Dina’s wedding to Michael (possibly tears of joy, but it really doesn’t look like it’s meant to be that to me), I’m given an impression of her not being happy with those relationships for one reason or another. Maybe she’s upset to be left on her own when they’ve always been a pair? Like many of these game details, there are so many ways you could interpret it.

I’ve also always thought it was odd that the game seems to want to guide you to have Nina move out and have Mortimer move in there, taking Dina’s surname. :P

holleyberry replied to your post: the
:D *picturing angry sex in head* Yes, I know there is something wrong with me.

No judgement here, my friend. Whatever gets you rockin’ that handheld game is fine by me. ;)

Yeah, you should. It may be somewhat reflective of my own vision of how silly people’s faces often look when they, umm,  “take matters into their own hands” but I think it works.

justazombiewithakeyboard asked: the <3< symbol is a spade, and it's used to represent a type of relationship among a species in homestuck. The spade represents romantic hate/rivalry, so like, they view each other as equal rivals in hate... it's a bit weird but rather fascinating actually.

Ah! Thank you for that. That is indeed an interesting concept, and one that I think would describe a potential Tank/Johnny pairing to a T.

But not so much the romance bit in S,HWC. Replace that with complicated family connections and it works pretty well. Like it or not, they will continue to be linked to each other in one way or another so they will at least have to learn to tolerate each other. Not an easy task for either of them.

Anonymous asked: I think we all know what Johnny is doing in your LJ header ;-) - Soph (btw the S-H-W-C ask was me, forgot to sign it!)

Ha! I don’t think I have an animation box for that. Then again, it hasn’t stopped me before and it really is amazing what you can do with the “smelling flowers” and “playing with handheld game” animations. (Handheld… *snicker* Oh the innuendo.)

thrillainvanilla asked: wait, strange...how do you know about <3< ? Are you a secret homestuck?

Erm, no… I thought that was just a heart symbol with an extra “greater than” symbol added for emphasis for some mysterious reason (or maybe just a mistake). And I just tried to google it and came up with nothing. What does it mean?

As for Homestuck, I’ve read/played some of the first chapter and I’m intrigued by the format it’s told in, but it demands more of my active attention than I can spare these days. Maybe one day I will check it out a little further.

Okay, Johnny… now what the hell were you actually doing in my livejournal header pic?

Note to self: make notes next time, because you never know when you might want to recreate something like that.

(Yes I make myself notes to make notes. Stop laughing at me.)

I was doing something else and didn&#8217;t realize the game was running in the background and when I came back Buzz had seven full pages of cockroaches in his memories.

Yes; you have a dream date and get called back the night after. I almost always accept those (or outings; same deal). It sounds like the random element is huge and therefore everyone gets different experiences.

Yes, I think randomness is what’s giving us the impression that there are certain patterns to it, since random often doesn’t seem random to us (we expect it to be equally random, etc.).

Compare this with the 50/50 randomness of having a male or female baby (in real life as well as the game). After 8 male babies in a row (as it happened with my grandmother), it stops feeling random, but it most certainly is.

Thanks for all your help. :)

You’re welcome! :) I hope that was at least somewhat accurate.

Sorry, disregard the last, I’ll rephrase: so in your experience, with a dream date, getting a gift sometimes happens and sometimes not, but there are always flowers? Never had the note or the flaming bag of poo — must try it myself. :)

I’ve had some other replies on this topic, and there seems to be very little consensus, so I did some searching. There’s a thread on MATY and someone mentioned that flowers are dropped off on the night of the date (I’m pretty sure they always do), but gifts (if being given - I’m also pretty sure that’s random) will be dropped off on the following night. If you date the same sim again on that night, you won’t get a gift because they will already be there on your lot (which holds true for me, because I rarely have sims take second dates).

Most non-flower rewards come after call-back dates, and most after call-back dream dates. However, Castor Nova once received a lawn flamingo after a one-off good (note level) date. I figured that was his date sending me a message.

I’m not sure what you mean by a “call-back” date. Is that when they call you up for a repeat date? I almost never accept those and have had plenty of date gifts, so I don’t think it’s dependent on that. But perhaps it raises the odds?
