Probably scout cookies in the spring and then a summer camp and I think that's actually it.

There are 40 sim days left for Indigo's childhood and I'm trying to decide if I need any more mini scenes. I wanted to shoot some pictures of the trio talking at the school I built, I have the bunk bed chat I've been working on. The trip to see a movie with dad is done.

I'm just sort of letting MCCC do its thing in the background and characters that end up backstory for the kids will get firmed up and freed from MCCC chaos when they get into storylines. I also cut sims free to join the MCCC churn when they're no longer needed. Ollie Mark just got moved to unplayed.

I need to check my neighbors in my sims game every now and again because MCCC is going wiiiild. Brandi's parents (Bob and Betty Newbie) apparently had babies in their elder years while I wasn't paying attention.

I am, perhaps, unreasonably pleased with the loading bay/delivery area

I finished the entire lower floor of this cursed build finally as well as the exterior. Hopefully the upstairs will go faster as it doesn't actually need anything up there. Might leave it blank mostly but for an office and maybe a breakroom.

Custom poses are an addiction, I swear.

Working on convo poses for the kids today.

Pose maaagic :D

Quickie Poses for a mini-scene

I was trying to see if I could make a mini scene without having to make poses for it. Probably going to still make a couple

Testing to see how the movie theater works for photography scenes. (The movie scene is from @theplottdump.bsky.social 's the Pit arc for Gen 6 which Skip and Jade are definitely going to fight over taking the older kids to see when Az has a nightmare later.)

I took the last day or so to get reshade clean installed and update my world lighting mods for pretty pictures. So now I just need to find some reshade lighting sets to try out. Right now I'm using Dove 2.0 as its the closest lighting to my old broken settings.

Skip decided to celebrate Winterfest autonomously by declaring Ocean his favorite and ruining the day of the other four kids. Oh, Skip.

In my headcanon, all my favorite sim stories of other creators are movies and tv series in the Pease universe. I sort of want to make inworld merch for them. Lest anyone think I am any less unhinged after a break. >.>

I have emerged from the depths of my Subnautica 2 fixation (it's so good, though!), back to my sims poses and Pease stories. <3

Subnautica 2, let's goooo!

There we go, that's much more the vibes for these three. In between subnautica game play, I am working on some of those simstagram posts photos

I realized I never completed Subnautica Below Zero as I got to the end of the last pre-1.0 content and never went back so speed-running that to be ready for Subnautica 2 this week.

For the last two days, I've had the chorus of at the ballet stuck in my head on repeat. Every time I zone out, my mind is all, "Up a straight and very narrow stair waaaaaay, with a voice like a mentronooooome." I don't even like that musical. 😭

What’s the betting pool looking like for the amount of expansion pack locked content for the next event? I’m going with 2/3s

And my Gen 2 Power Couple Shaping up nicely.

I am definitely going to have to make these three some custom poses that really get across their personalities but Gen 2 Unholy Trio here we come!

Since I was taking headshots, I followed @theplottdump.bsky.social 's example and started on a family tree.

Oh no, he turned out hot. I have too many attractive Gen 2 sims. I can't follow ALL of their stories, right?

I have left my Pease save stuck on Winterfest because it is so damn buggy but I really want them all to have a good Winterfest.

Gen 2 is shaping up to be a pretty group.

You know, I'm glad I went through early to take some headshots for family tree and graphics because I sort of want to mock up some simstagram style posts for the teens. Or Simder

Every sim into the basement for photo time on an empty lot!

Alrighty, boring projects day today but I need posed headshots for the Pease family. Really glad I made a secondary save for photos so I don't have to worry about whatever is happening in gameplay while posing the more distant relations. Just going to grab all the 2nd Gen as teen photos as well.

You're such a trainwreck, Dustin.

Worth it.

Okay, it was probably worth it. This is much more what I had in my head. Now to stick it all in a pose

I am only making ONE POSE so we can have a nice Winterfest photo that I don't hate.

I can't say how much blood sweat and tears this took and I'm still not happy. But I did get the infant glitch fix and my game un-fucked.

Aaand now it won't load in at all. Greaaaat.

Winterfest is a pain in my ass.

Whyyyy can't I pose this infant. There's going to end up being a big gap in my photos of the Pease families at this rate because infants keep being unposeable for me. Just updated poseplayer to the latest version. We'll see if that fixes it. Otherwise it'll just be chaos gameplay pictures

The hardest part about Winterfest is getting Indigo to stay inside and not change out of her cute pajamas.

Wellp, Time to see if the recent mods I'm adding to the hoard break the game, but the royalty mod integrated with the pack now and I really want to see how it works.

Apparently when I wasn't paying attention, Margaret Abbott (modern alt-universe version yanked to my game by MCCC) married him. Proving that bad choices in partners remains the case regardless of worlds.

@surelysims.com I finished my makeovers of your blank sims!

Migraine took me out hard earlier today but a nap and some meds later, I'm back to finishing up these sim makeovers and then maybe Winterfest with the Pease kids.

I mean, I don't want the Marketplace to succeed personally as it was a bad model in sims 3 and is worse now, but I assume someone at EA would like it to succeed. Maybe all their Marketing is also done by AI now.

You know, I realized something about the Maker store or whatever its called. There's zero marketing for it outside of inside the sims itself. Like you can't even check what's new in the EA app (which I also hate). Its like they're trying to find all new ways to shit the bed with their cash cow. Wild

Subnautica 2 and Paralives out this month. Outbound as well. I am so jazzed.

Remaking @surelysims.com new base sims. I have two done so far (well two and a half, really) But two photos tonight!

Something I haven't personally seen in a while is people sharing base sims! So I made you six new ones! Dress em up, do whatever you want with them! You can tag me if you feel like decorating them! (Or not!) 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗻!! 💗 Gallery ID: surelysimming Trays: www.simfileshare.net/download/609...

Skip's troubles persist. Fortunately this is the last slot in the household.
