Gashlycrumb: 7.3
Greetings, mine fellow meatcreatures!
Last time:
- nobody paid any attention to Tanith
- Varney died and Alien Friend swiftly followed
- Whisper passed out behind the beehives
- all three girls reached the age of teen
Titus: Hey, I think I'm gonna head to college.
Everyone else: Meredith
Off go the girls to Winterhold State, because I'm pretending I didn't choose heir practically during toddlerhood and want to give them all a chance. I thought about sending Party Cake Fiebelkorn with them, but realized I didn't want to manage four sims instead of three. This is my vacation from the overcrowding of Gashlycrumb Manor!
Here's Tallulah. She looks so much like Frankie!
Anyway, it's Tanith. Tanith is heir. Did I fool you with my claims of disinterest?
Titus? You okay?
Titus: Why did I want this?
I forgot to take a proper tour of the dorm itself, but it's the same layout as the Hall of Attainment, just mirrored. This one's called the Hall of Countenance, because I know my dumb bitch brand. This is Tallulah's dorm room.
Tanith's.
And Titus's. I was kinda struggling with these at first but I really like where we landed.
Tanith rolled Romance/Family, which is legitimately one of my favorite aspiration combos, so of course the dormies descended immediately.
Tanith: *preens*
Ho-ho-hold the phone, who's this?!
Maura: 'm Maura.
TANITH, DROP EVERYTHING.
Tanith: On it OwO
Tanith: Hey. I'm Tanith. Walk me to the cafeteria and tell me everything about your ethereally beautiful self?
Maura: Hee. Okay :">
Chris the cow mascot: *inhales mac 'n cheese*
Maura: *giggle*
Chris the cow mascot: Did you do that thing again where you throw all your plans for a fair and balanced spousal search out the window over one cute face, Overlord?
MAYBE.
Titus: Time to pick on the new favorite!
Maura: Ow, why
Titus: The fuck are you looking at, you ruminant son of a bitch?
Chris the cow mascot: This is the start of a beautiful friendship. I can tell.
Tanith: *smooch*
Welp, that's that. Pack it in, everybody, we're set for gen 8!
Maura: *overstimulated nervous laughter*
Tanith: Hey Jennifer, whatcha looking at?
Jennifer: The reader. O_O
Titus: THAT'S A VERY NICE DRESS AND I DON'T APPRECIATE YOU FLAUNTING IT AT ME.
Maura: Why is this happening?
Tanith descended to make it all better with ~chaste hand-holding~
Maura: Holy mother of fuck, where'd you learn to kiss like that? *_*
Word of Tanith's prowess: *spreads*
Cooksy von Foodburn: Hey Tallulah. You know you're doing literally my only job right now, right?
Tallulah: I'm a Grilled Cheese sim, and also I don't want to turn around.
Cooksy von Foodburn: Huh. Can't relate owo
Hey Titties, whatcha doing?
Titus: Assignments. Knowledge sim, so, you know. I wanna.
Titus: When I don't want to pick on this bitch, that is!
Maura: Please stop, I'm shy!
Titus: Toughen up, buttercup! You won't last a day in the Manor with that attitude.
Maura: Ow. I think you knocked my eyelashes loose.
I just really like how Winterhold State turned out, so I'm holding up the entire update to bask for a minute.
Phacia Royce: Hey, Tanith. Remember me?
Tanith: Nope!
Phacia Royce: This place sucks.
Tallulah: *gently wafts*
A whole bushel of lies
This is the jabbiest, finger stabbiest dorm I've ever had. I mean, sure, there was lots of scuffling at the Hall of Attainment last gen, but Una was doing all of it.
Tallulah: I sure did want to do this assignment for some reason!
Lisa: *lurks*
The Sims 2: Tanith has class in one hour.
I think Tanith's priorities are elsewhere at the moment.
Titus completes her term paper, while Sharon whistles a jaunty tune of support uncomfortably close by.
Maura: AHHHHHHHHH
Titus: Teach you to make me write a term paper!
Maura: But I didn't even look in your direction today! Owww!
Not content merely to beat on Maura's body, Titus attempts to break her spirit by selling Maura's painting, too.
Tallulah: *COUGH SPLUTTER*
Titus: *has her priorities neatly in order*
Tallulah: That kitchen downpour reminds me the showers need cleaning.
Honey, you don't have to do that.
Tallulah: My ten neat points say otherwise.
Is that puddle left over from the sprinkler, Cooksy, or did you pee in the kitchen?
Cooksy von Foodburn: I'll never tell.
Tanith: Y'all okay, Lisa?
Lisa:
That was all first semester of freshman year? UGHHH
Anyway, here's their majors. They all rolled wants for 'em pretty early on, for once.
When not attacking Maura utterly unprovoked, Titus prefers to while away the hours with her non-regulation darts.
Lisa: Oof. Oh, hey Maura.
Maura:
How's that art degree coming, Tanith?
Tanith: Kill me.
Tanith: Thiff is the right way to lounge on a couchf.
Oh, good, Maura woke up.
Aww. Adorable even as a popsicle.
Tanith: Don't worry, baby, this is the best way to share body heat. We'll have you thawed out in no time.
Lisa: This is the right place to sit.
Up til now, Tallulah has been fairly subtle about her forceful lemon heritage, but now that 0 nice points has reared its dormie-tormenting head.
Lisa: I don't have to take this. Back off.
Tallulah: I... I don't understand? She poked me! She poked me!
Tallulah did not back off.
Tallulah: Where'd she go? I've got a double serving of knuckle sandwich for her.
Lisa: JOKE'S ON YOU, I HAD LUNCH ALREADY.
Getting rid of the fight dust clouds is the best decision I've ever made.
Lisa: Take THAT, wuss.
Tallulah: OwwwWWWWW
Lisa: And fuckin' stay out.
Tallulah: *is shook*
Tallulah: This is stupid. I want to go home.
Wall friend: buck up, tallulah, that skirt looks so cute on you
How's about going down to the Hall of the Elements to write your term paper, since the dormies keep bogarting the one computer? Will that make you feel better?
Tallulah: I guess, but now my fun's tanked.
Stare at this diagram of the proper way to butcher a human being for awhile. That'll help.
Tallulah: Not as much as making stupid snow angels!
Whatever floats your dumbass boat, I guess.
Oh, hey, Chris. What's up?
A heaping helping of locally-sourced lies
Anyway, taking an entire platter of grilled cheese sandwiches to her room to devour all alone restored Tallulah's spirits. And really, whose wouldn't be.
Oh, neat, you've chosen to rub your naked cooters all over this couch today.
Tanith: This is a really good idea.
Titus: Yep.
Jennifer: none of the beatles had mustaches... then, one day, they all had mustaches
Titus: Where's Baby? I want to shake her hand.
Titus, are you okay?
Tanith: goarlp
Maura: T͍͇̞̭͠A̖Ǹ̞̜̱͓̠̪I̘̱̩̲̫͉T̘̤͉̬͙H̳͡
Lisa and Jennifer: *giggle, smooch*
Tallulah: i want her dead
Tanith and Maura: smmrlgph
Sharon: Hey, that Lisa's pretty cute, right? ...Mind if I—
Jennifer: Touch her and I'll kill you dead.
Tanith and Maura: smmrlgph
Lisa: Speaking of killing a bitch dead
Rosie lamp: Take a shower, silly!
Maura: It's so peaceful in this direction.
Janie: SNEAKING
Tanith: Hey, great job completing college up to the second semester of junior year, which it now is!
Titus: Thanks bitch!
Lisa: omg tanith shred me
Oh. I guess Sharon snuck some honey outta Lisa's hive when I wasn't looking.
Jennifer: BITCH I WARNED YOU
Sharon: YOU DON'T LOVE HER LIKE I DO
Lisa: Omg guys you don't have to fight over me~~~
Titus: Oh, hey Sharon. Hey Jennifer.
Titus: Have they been doing that the whole time I was at class?
Yep.
Titus: Sharon's in her underwear.
Yep.
Titus: She looked pretty cold already.
Mmhm.
Lisa: Hmm. My side chick's passed out in her panties on the sidewalk, in Winterhold, freezing to death. I feel like there's something I could do here... nope, it's gone.
And so is Sharon.
Lisa: HOW DID THIS HAPPEN SOB SOBBB
Grim: You want to what? Sure, I guess you can try. Have you ever even met her, though, or...?
Tanith: We lived in the same building for three years! I passed her in the bathroom once! That must count for something.
Grim: I mean, go ahead, but this is a DC of 25.
Tanith: Can I add my Charisma modifier?
She was not allowed to add her Charisma modifier.
Grim: No bars?! Aw, I was gonna order a pizza!
Tanith: the stink of my failure, let me wallow in it
Inside, Maura healed Tanith's wounded pride.
Sharon remained dead.
Janie: I wonder where Sharon's gotten to, it's so late.
Tanith and Maura: mmmmrNNNPH
AND THEN
My game, between one day and the next, began to crash any time I tried to load a household. Initially I thought there was a problem with the Hall of Countenance and tried moving the girls to a different lot, but nope. It was every household. It was any household, and it took me four days to weed out the cause because I was so annoyed with the whole business.
"But Azaya," you say, nonplussed by this all-too-typical sims anecdote, "what's so special about that? This is The Sims 2. It's held together by plumber's tape and the whims of the Devil."
Because the culprit still blows my goddamned mind and so you have to hear about it. It was a hair.
A SINGLE. HAIR. CRASHING. THE ENTIRETY OF THE SIMS 2.
Anyway, I excised it, and moved the girls back in.
Tanith: WATCH OUT, THIS DORM, WE'RE BACK INSIDE YOU
Janie: dude gross
Cooksy von Foodburn: Hey, welcome back! You kids were gone for ages.
Tallulah: We were what?
Janie: *poses*
Tanith: Invading privacy is tight!
Of course it's Almond. It's always Almond.
...What the hell is she wearing?
So I ventured into the heaving pit of insanity that is the Fritter manse to put her in a new outfit,
and saw the saddest, sweetest fear ever. Almond, you know your wife Eulalie's been dead for, like, a thousand years, right?
Almond: Why would that matter?
I-I'm not crying, you're crying ;~;
Tanith: Is there a carbon monoxide leak in this dorm or something?
Maura:
Janie: Who left the TV on in here again?
Tanith and Maura: smolph
Tallulah: Ugh. The affection nearby is making me all pukey.
Tanith: Oh, hey Jennifer.
Jennifer:
Tanith not only rolled a 'get engaged to Maura' want in, like, freshman year, but she also never rolled the 'get engaged to Maura' fear, which from a Romance sim is basically a wedding ring. So. Might as well get on that.
Nice.
Maura: This kinda brings the mood down.
Tallulah: No. Get the fuck out. I don't need to know anything about you to know that I already hate you more than I hate Lisa.
Lisa: Oh, hey Janie.
Janie:
Jennifer:
Janie apparently woke up long enough to change the orientation of her unconscious body.
Titus: Lol
Maura: *wibbles over Janie's unconscious body*
Titus: Hey Tanith.
Tanith: Sup Titus.
Nice.
What's going on out here, you crazy cats?
Tallulah: Graduated!
Titus: Graduated.
Tanith: Anybody seen my clothes?
Tanith: Yes, hello, I and my two cousins would like to move the ass out of Winterhold and back to somewhere it's not always freezing out!
Tallulah: hey guys what's going on inside this room
After Titus and Tallulah departed to the sim bin, Tanith and not her clothes also moved back to Afterwards.
This was the very first thing I saw upon returning to the stately Gashlycrumb Manor and yeah, that tracks.
Tanith: Oh, hi Mom! How's it going?
Una: Shh. Your participation is not required.
Una: Don't say I never gave you anything.
Tanith: The fuck? 8D
Una: Welcome home, jerk.

Even if there is no Party Cake Fiebelkorn...Yay! Tanith is heir (only a littler surprised there...and happy!) and Maura is freaking beautiful! I now want to see a mini-update with the Fritter's where Eulalie is resurrected. T_T
What hair was causing your game to crash though? This might come in handy if the same starts happening to my own game. I also remember when that happened to you during the Ogrecy.
I have a few WCIFs:
* The "Fuck You" stove (seriously I've been wanting the Fuck You stove since it originally appeared in the original Gashlycrumb house)
* The black cat wall poster and the clipboards on the wall in Tanith's dorm.
* The end table in Titus' dorm room.
* Maura's and Tanith's dresses.
* The little floral-print table in the cafeteria (it looks like it might be an 8-3 or NMS recolour?).
* The Diagram of the proper way to butcher a human being

well, the thing is, back when it happened with the ogres, it wasn't actually a hair in the end. it was some... weird package full of extra GMNDs that i have no idea how i got. this time it was a custom hair that i binned and somehow... did it wrong? i guess?? heck if i know how. anyway, it's not a hair that's floating around the internet, so don't worry. :)
as for the wcifs, i just bundled 'em up in a zip for you. most of it either i made or i don't know where to find it in the wild anymore. tanith's dress isn't included, it's a default in my game but i'm pretty sure the original is by amaryll. i can't find it, though. sorry. everything else is there, though. anyway, here you go :)
no subject
Thanks you for the things and thanks for letting me know that I don't have to worry. I'm always freaking out and running hood checker as it is regardless as to whether or not I've been playing. :P
I want to mention that I really love the way you decorated the Hall of Countenance, perhaps even more than the Hall of Attainment. : D
Oh and I found the Amaryll dresses. Thank you! https://thebigtradeoff.livejournal.com/24724.html?thread=616852#t616852

thank you, i also really like the hall of countenance. it actually predates the hall of attainment, i built and decorated it before i knew i was going to have two of them, so it kinda got the better decorating ideas, in a lot of parts ^^; like i LOVE the countenance cafeteria. ANYWAY. thank you
