Guys, I put down my Switch and my Tomodachi Life game. For now. I'm at my computer updating Sims 4 mods. Wish me luck.

Now, in order to distracted myself from the horrors of real life, I will assign myself the tedious tas of setting every CC base layer I have to the new category instead of gloves or socks or whatever else they've always landed in. The dog is sleeping, she'll get mad if I leave her.

My very real life little Sadie dog suffered a stroke on Wednesday morning. She's fifteen and these kind of old dog things happen, but it scared the crap out of me. Little girl is at home with me, her balance is off, but otherwise is doing well at the moment. Still, makes this interaction so sweet.

Ohh, my first Tomodachi Life fight! Heh. Between Toshinori and Torino. That feels appropriate, somehow. #allmight #mha #grantorino

Hahaha! Make a replica of an energy drink that exists in real life, but do it with a stylus on on my Switch? SURE! (This was brutal. I'm very proud of it.) #Allright #tomodochilifeltd

One week later, I still think Tomodachi Life is my new drawing platform. Oops? #allmight #deku #mha #tomodachilifeltd

Heh. My 'My Hero Academia' themed Tomodachi Life island is coming along. Have a bunch of students stacked in front of an All Might statue 😁 #mha #tomodachilife #allmight

Oh, made a music album too. This one was inspired by an image I saw online. Looks cool though! #tomodachilifeltd #AllMight #mha

I also fumbled until around for much too long to figure out hoe to make an All Might Statue to decorate my Tomodachi island with. It started as a statuette treasure for my Miis and then became a stamp. #AllMight #mha #tomodachilifetld

I spent way too much time with a stylus in Tomodachi Life Living the Dream today to make some custom All Might posters. Which I used as stamps to make custom billboards 😁 #AllMight #mha #tomodachilifeltd

Still, more MHA Miis! Love my All Might. He married Inko Midoriya and Izuku moved in with both of them they're a regular family unit on my Tomodachi island.

Hi. I live in Tomodachi Life for the moment. I sincerely hope this hyper fixation passes quickly because I have other things as I should be doing! 😅

Well, since this is Tomodachi Life and not the sims, I had to make All Might's yellow pinstripe suit myself instead of having @surelysims.com make one for me. Boooooo.

I've only been silent because I am lost in Tomodachi Life Living the dream.

I am excited to see what new cut scenes I can find beyond what's given to us in the Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream demo. This one makes me laugh. Note the tiny Mii dressed a shrimp and running away in the bottom right corner of the last panel 🤭

Just over here waiting for the full Tomodachi Life release as I restart the demo for the third time. Whew, haven't been struck with obsession about a game this hard in years.

Tomodatchi Life Living the Dream will NOT let you share Miis with others. Seriously. I can't even share them between accounts on the same Switch. You get the joy if making all of them. Practice those customization and art skills, I guess! You can share the parts though.

The down side to Tomodatchi Life LtD is that you can't export screenshots from your Switch of the game. Nintendo is concerned because this game is fully customizable and you can draw and write whatever you want. Which is good, but also can lead you into trouble.

The full version of Tomodatchi Life Living the Dream comes out this week, April 16th. If you think I've been yapping about it now, expect that to get worse. The demo is available now, for free. On the original Switch, you don't need the switch 2 if you don't have it. I don't. This is fun.

I'm not done painting Miis in the Tomodatchi Life demo. Painted my Tiger Boy Friday. Got a new and pointy stylus today, so I painted a whole new face for him to test it out! 🐯

I found an old stylus and decided I'd try to be all artsy with the Mii creator in the Tomodachi Life LTD demo. I've been seeing some really cool art out there! For me, this is a case of just because I CAN draw the fancy anime hair, it doesn't mean I SHOULD. Didn't like how it looked in action 😅

I'm wat behind on this one, but I downloaded the Tomadachi Life demo and I have been having way too much fun making Miis and watching them do ridiculous things.

Oh boy, @simmireen.bsky.social, these bunnies! 😭Thank you for them! Anyway, still in my anime save. All Might wanted to cuddle a bunny. He really did.

Happy Peep Day, everyone!

@surelysims.com , I had to give this pretty new dress a try. Or, Mary Margaret Infamy did. Why does she only want to try on your most sparkly dresses? Because the woman has expensive taste and no shame! Its such a lovely dress!

I can't get All Might the sim to look that surprised without some serious post screenshot editing. Oh well, I tried to copy the screenshot! #MHA #Sims4

This Hourly All Might amuses me. Also inspired what to do with my Sims tonight - see if I can replicate a screenshot in my game. Eh. Sort of? Had fun though! All Might and Aizawa from #MHA #Sims4

Day off of work, woohoo! Can't focus for the life of me. Great. Anyway, built a sad little replacement of a museum for Municipal Muses which is more focus than I thought I had today. 🤷‍♀️

Artist: Nathan W. Pyle

The market place did a fun thing where it screws those people who stayed in the creator network too. No more using creator codes on kit purchases! Also, they got 'free Moola' but it wasn't enough to buy all of the things for sale. No more getting all the content free. Have fun with your EA contact.

Me opening up my sims social media today:

Okay. Time to close out of Sims and delete some CC that looked better in the pictures than it does in my game 🤷‍♀️

My current round of teen ogres in the house. These two... they have very different personalities 😅

Full disclosure and something I forget every time I'm not playing it, but the ogre baby save is entirely my excuse to play with horns and various other occult looking CC. This is my CAS save, I guess.

100 Ogre Babies it is! This is baby #7, Benny. Maybe today I'll make it past 10 babies for the first time ever in a 100 baby challenge attempt! (Hah. Hahaha.)

Time to load up a CC save for giggles. Dragon Lady or 100 Ogre Babies? Hmm...

Had to suck it up and make my once a month Walmart run this morning. Good news is I came home with a new Zoro! The detailed one, I've had the Funk for ages. Detailed Zoro is pretty.

All along in Sims games you've only ever needed to read the item descriptions and the moodlets to have a good idea of how the actual devs feel about things. Not the company, the devs.

Hot damn, you drew him so pretty!

Time to rebuild the commercial district of Willow Creek again? Maybe so, maybe so. See what I can do about a pretty museum.

Some TS4 builds. I finally finished Glimmerbrook today. Rebuilt the bar because I didn't really like my old rebuild. Eh, you know how it goes. Got it all on the Gallery now. If you would like tray files for any of these, feel free to let me know.

Gotta love when Knight Night goes off the rails.

I know I was joking about the Sims 3 store the other day. To be clear, I never bought anything from it. Stuff was wildly over priced even then.

I need to go outside and dance in the rain or touch the dead grass. Between systems of government repeatedly failing to prevent dictator behaviors, greedy gaming companies being extra scummy, and my boss doing his best to be as likeable as a flaming bag of dog poo, I'm all the way over this week.

For those calling the marketplace the next Sims 3 store, you're not wrong. Also, we're not getting that. We're getting lipstick, shoes, and a $10 bedroom set. In beige. Sims 3 store at least had stupid bangers like the Not So Routine machine that had the decency to make me laugh.

The other two games I play and enjoy that have mircrotransaction options are Dreamlight Valley and Guild Wars 2. It's never my favorite thing. Both of these games have ways for you to earn thier in game money/tokens/gems by completing in game tasks. I doubt this round of EA will do that.

Well we knew it was coming but EA taking a 70% cut is wild 💀

Excuse you very much? You've just announced all previous kits will be retroactively added to this "in game marketplace" and everything going forward is there too. This is the very definition of microtransactions!
