I miss you all, lovely people <3 Hope you are all well.

Margarita: Excuse me?!
Michael: Are you fucking serious, man?!
Armand: Dude, sit down. I was just kidding.
Margarita: Victor, please...
Margarita: Move aside, for fuck’s sake!
Michael: Rita, dear, I’ll talk things out with Victor.
Margarita: No! You sit your ass back there! Enough talking out if you two.

Returning back to the city, Joseph observed everything. People were talking in houses, confused and trying to figure out what has happened and why their homes have gotten dirty in such a short time. Just wait till you see the stores and how expired everything is, he thought. It was late and they were all tired, but very soon they will figure out how much time passed.
A few late nighters he passed in the street nodded at him. They remembered him and he remembered them, but they were from the younger generation, and while they were nice kids, he had little in common with them.
Passing by the house Hettie and Billy lived in all these years ago, he felt a pang of something. Nostalgia, that was it. He missed the good old days and the time he spent with his loved ones.
Perhaps, it was time to finally let go of old habits.
Back on the boat, he looked out at the ocean once more. He has always loved it, with all it’s different moods and caprices. It was a lot like life, unpredictable, dangerous, and full of surprises at every corner. But both were better experienced with people you cared about.
“Hey, man, you coming or what?” he heard a familiar teasing voice.
“Billy?”
“Who else, man? We’ve been waiting for you to figure this thing out for quite some time now, but Hettie’s saying you might need more help. It’s not that hard though, is it?”
“No, it really isn’t,” Joseph laughed. “Don’t worry, I’m coming now.”
He was finally ready to Move On.
I got something in my eye...
Margarita: I hope you like the place, Victor. It has a controversial reputation due to its cook. I still find it very spirited though and the food very delicious.
Victor: I cannot agree more. These pancakes work like an elixir along with the coffee. Especially after last night’s shenanigans, followed by quite an early morning.
Margarita: Yep, that was a bit menace out of Drago. I could still not understand what was all the hurry about.
Victor: Not that I’m complaining - we are heaving a great time, second day in a row. I just wish I could have shaved. Apologies for my unpresentable look.
Margarita: Oh, nonsense! I actually thought you are growing your beard back. It suited you.
Michael: Back? You had a beard?
Victor: Some time ago... But how do you know, Rita?
Michael: Yeah, have you two met before?
Victor: Not like being introduced, no. And I would have definitely remembered being introduced to Margarita Arström.
Armand: It might have just slipped your mind. Especially if she hadn’t been so obviously dangling her boobs in your face at that time.
Do you, lovely mutuals, use NRAAS Relativity mod? Was I the only one living under a rock AGAIN?
I’m quite new to it but I absolutely love it. No need to hurry shooting the scene to catch the right day/nighttime anymore. It’s cool for a gameplay too, if you want to get most of the day.

Rules: Make over one or more of your favorite sims into a style that is completely different from their own. Choose whatever you want; the only rule is it has to be way out of their normal. Post some pics for us to see and tag them #ts4notlikemyself so we can check them out. Then tag some friends, and don’t forget to have fun!
Thank you for the tag dear @nocturnalazure . I haven’t made such thing in a veeery long time, but I admit it was super fun and I was cackling the whole time :D So here we go...
Victor: Yeah! Shaka bra, dudes!
What do you think, Vic.
Victor: I simply love it! It’s super fun and comfy and liberating. Maybe I should switch for good.
Are... are you serious?
Victor: How do you think?! Whose this stupid, disgracing idea was?!
Michael: Trololo!

Mario: I’ll just hop out to take a piss, ok? Don’t pull aside or wait for me, though. I’ll catch up with you. Or better, tell me where we are heading to so I can go there by foot and make some Christmas preparations for your arrival. Ma che cavollo?!
*aggressive breaks*
Drago: Get out.
Mario: We stopped or we accelerated - I can’t tell the difference anymore.
Drago: I said get out!
Mario: So that was the whole point, eh? To get me in the middle of nowhere and take me out.
Drago: Huh?!
Mario: Let’s get it done and over with then. Come to papa.
Drago: Ahahaha! You are so fucking insane, I can’t. Just get behind the wheel, will ya?
Mario: As if. I know what are you aiming for.
Drago: Nothing else than showing you some good time around, I swear.
Mario: Yeah, and later spilling the beans to Victor, or even worse, to my baby girl. I’m not biting for this. No fucking way.
Drago: Oh, man... Are you taking me for that kind of sleaze? Well, other maybe, but not that. Just stop getting on my nerves and drive the god damned car already.
Mario: *adjusting the seat*
Drago: Don’t waist your time. It’s not getting any more comfortable than that.
Mario: *exasperated sigh* She is not meant to gratefully cradle your filthy ass while you are strolling around, showing her off.
*clutch down* *ROAAAAAAR*
Drago: Easy, dude...
Mario: But vigorously clawing her nails in it while you pump her up into the heavens.
*first transmission* *clutch down* *accelerator bangs into the metal*
Drago: Mario... MARIO!
Drago: MARIOOOOOOoooooooooooo...

Just... WOW 💝

I like to think that people have the best intentions. They keep telling me how strong I am, how brave to face a new day with purpose, but they are wrong. I rise in the morning out of habit. I breathe every breath because I don’t know how to stop. The sea outside my window beckons me and I make my way to the water’s edge. I stop. Not because the longing for the watery depths that took my love isn’t compelling, but because the fear is stronger. I am transfixed, powerless to do anything. I am weak. I am afraid. I am alone.
The endless waves lap over my feet, a slight tug with each that I resist. It matters not. After a time, the sands beneath my feet erode and I fall to my hands and knees, sobbing in the light of dawn. The ocean never stops. Soon, the sand beneath my fingers slides away. The riptide draws it all unto itself, the sand, the fleeting pink sky, my tears, love, hope. All washed away, all but fear, all but the animal’s intense need to survive.
Shattered and spent, I crawl away and lie in the embrace of sun-warmed sand. How can I go on? Fool that I am, the scrape of the sand on my cheek chafes, while the day grows too hot and bright. I think how humiliating it would be for someone to find me this way, naught but a wreck on the beach. Thus do my two greatest fears control me. I am caught between death’s mystery and society’s judgement.
So I get up. I go inside and cocoon myself in the armor of being tidy and untouchable. Maybe one day I’ll pluck my courage from the rose kissed sky. I’ll wade out and find my fate in the briny depths.
Dearest Cornelia, if you’ve found this letter, faith and fortitude have met. Pray take comfort that I have overcome my fear. Give Mortimer my love, nay, my affection, and teach him the peril of loving too deeply that which is so ephemeral.
I have no words to describe how fabulous is this. Bravo! 👏👏👏
How’s it possible that I play this game forever and that’s the first time I see this interaction?!?
Also have some sim logic where that’s my all time favorite Bridgeport angle in the gorgeous sunset and my simmie is shooting...
This!!!
Alright, I obviously couldn’t resist but tagged in the Valentine’s Day Simblr’s Celebrations.
I hope you have/find someone to look at you like Drago does, even if you are the most infuriating person like Laura is :D
Love you all <3

Michael: Isn’t he charmante?
Victor: Compared to his outfit yours looks coordinated and presentable.
Michael: *snorts* Why, thank you.
Margarita: Where is Jess?
Mario: Stayed at the hotel. She is not a big fan of speed races.
Margarita: Then why did Drago drag me in such a hurry here?! I would have gladly spend the day with her. Maybe I should call her and drive back if she wants me to.
Victor: But it looks promisingly enjoyable here. Aren't you into races, Rita?
Margarita: Are you, Vic?
Drago: Have you picked a horse already?
Mario: What for? Victor will spill the beans and get me into a huge trouble. Besides who will willingly share such toys?
Michael: I can arrange the Koenigsegg. That dude owes me. I sold it to him practically for pennies.
Drago: I was thinking our man will prefer something home made.
Drago: How about the Enzo? You like it, Luigi?
Mario: I’ll name my firstborn like this. How do you think?
Drago: Alright then. Good thing the owner is a pal.
Mario: Ponytails unite.
Victor: Mario, don’t even think about it.
Drago: Cut him some slack. I’ll drive.
The “without fail” writing tag by gilded-ghosts
I was tagged by the precious @drawing-way-outside-the-lines and @nocturnalazure . Thank you so so so much for thinking of me and including me into my favorite community even after a long absence. You are awesome beyond words.
Rules: List five things that you, WITHOUT FAIL, weave into or explore in your stories, whether it be specific themes or tropes, character archetypes, allusions to other literary works, what have you! It really can be anything that you consistently include in your narratives for whatever reason. Then invite others to share theirs by tagging them!
1. Showbiz - It has been always so fascinating to me with all the glamour and dirt that it consists of. Music, movies, TV - it doesn’t matter. Secrets, scandals, ruined lives - the more the better.
2. Underworld - how and why one choses this path in life and what are the consequences over their life and the ones close by.
3. The family influence - good or bad, strong or weak and how it has built / changed a certain character.
4. Friendship - it’s very sacrilegious theme to me and I love to include all it’s aspects in my story. Old, lifetime friendships and how/if they’d withstand time and difficulties. Or new friendships, that has started on the wrong foot ;) I think that’s my favorite, actually.
5. Fate - this is a theme I tend to over-exploiting with how the two worlds of Victor and Michael was constantly colliding before crashing into each other. But I strongly believe that it’s written in the stars or coded in the universe that some people are about to meet in certain time for certain things to happen and that there is no way around.
6. Soulmates - has a lot to do with fate. But again, some are meant to be no matter what, others not.

Drago: Are you gonna thrash the whole place, Lil’ J? I strongly approve.
Jessica: Nothing like that. I just want to give a special gift to my very special new friend. And let’s hope she won’t see as thrashing for real...
Drago: She won’t. She’ll love it.
Mario: Alright then. I’ll call you when Jess is ready and it’s safe for Rita to return home.
Drago: No, you won’t. You’re coming whit us.
Mario: Oh, no I don’t.
Drago: Oh, yes you do.
Jessica: You better do, pugster. You’ll only distract me with your stinker ways if you stay.
Mario: I want you to know I’m doing it with the greatest reluctance and against my will.
Drago: Sure thing.
Mario: And what kind of dumb shit we are about to do there anyways?
Drago: Watching the fastest and the most expensive sports cars in action.
Mario: Are we gonna touch ourselves in the meantime? Seriously, dude, that’s super lame even for you.
Drago: Well, be a good pumpkin, stop whining at least for a sec and I might arrange something spicier.
Mario: Like... *whispers* driving?
Drago: *wink*
Jessica: Driving?! You are not driving some insane cars in the middle of the desert like the Mad Max you are!
Mario: Hm?! *through clenched teeth* Start that car already, will ya?
Drago: Eheheheh.
Jessica: You hear me, Mario?!
Mario: See you later, principessa. Have fun.
Jessica: Dude, promise!
Victor: I promise he won’t. Don’t worry, sweetie.
Mario: Fucking traitor...
Victor: God damned loon.
Yesterday I watched Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen. And my mind was honestly blown not only because Ritchie has outdone himself ❤, but of the fact I'm a psychic twin with him. So does @simcatcher !!!
Dear Ana, I don't know if you have already watched the movie when you proposed in a comment that Simba should be played by Matthew McConaughey, but it actually happened already!! 🤯🤯🤯
Without revealing too much about the plot of the movie or GQ, McConaughey's character is named Michael Pearson and he references to himself as "the lion". And that's the least similarities. I just can't believe it!!
Anyways, hope everyone are doing just fine. Love you all.
Hi there. I recall you mentioning you use CC magic. I'm currently installing it and I'm just wondering - does it really reduce load time? I noticed some of my saves take over half an hour to load and that's just too long!
Yes, dear Diana. I use it and I'm very fond of it, since I can make my own collections and use them while decorating a particular place. It's also very easy to chose whit what to start your game, or even make configurations for each and every save.
About the faster loading - I THINK it does help. I can't say it for sure, because I started using CC Magic at the same time I start playing on SSD, so I guess it's both - I go in game in less that 5 minutes (if the save is heavy). So I'll say - give it a try - just back up everything and read on the matter. It's a nifty program though and very users friendly once you figure it all out.
If you need any sort fo help, don't hesitate to ask me ❤
