QUINNDOMINION

In the wee insomniac hours of this morning I ran across an ad for some show called Sheep Detectives (I don't think it was a delirium hallucination, hope not because I fully intend to watch it one o' these days) and it started with dude reading murder mysteries to his flock of sheep.

I literally LOL'd. Much guffawing. And so now, a faux reblog.

(I know, wrong Stephen King movie. Don't care, lol.)

If a certain hormonally hyped up Hatfield insists on calling Pennywise Penny Weiss "IT-Face" it's only fair that one or both of these faces haunts his dreams...

(I've lost the thread of how I wanted to proceed now that the rest of "Saturday" is its own chapter and not part of Part 3. But I still had a few spare minutes, so I did this instead.)

(random drive by post)

I was going to post this pic earlier today when I found it in with the discards because, while similar to the one I did go with, Skye's face here is giving peak ambiguity. It can be read a bunch of different ways, which is on theme for the next chapter (why I noticed) but wasn't so much for Part 2.

Not the point, not remotely the point. The point is that after all this time I have only just noticed that while the mismatched chairs are as they should be (because they're different meshes)...

...the tables silently reasserted their uniformity when I wasn't looking. The nerve! I remember I definitely loaded up without all the right recolours and repositoried meshes at some point. (Test hoods are for testing, not storytelling!! Lesson learned.) Curtains went missing and I very nearly used one of those pics to head up the chapter (but that particular ramble has been sitting in my drafts for a year and a half and it can stay there). Who knows what else I just didn't pick up on 😩

Caught the curtains, completely missed the tables. That's annoying. Especially as I've become aware of it before I'm done with the next one. My plan is to act like I don't see it, but I suspect my brain will still ruthlessly prune out the 'wrong table' ones for one reason or another.

And, yup, wrong tables in that chapter's header, too. Maybe I'll change it to this one, lol.

This has got to be one of the most boring sims pics ever taken but it always makes me kinda giddy being out in the tall grass and uncultivated spaces of "as yet unincorporated" Widespot. Probably because most of it will be gone by the time I return to Widespot of the present day where both Rich and Daytona have left their marks on the landscape.

For context (maybe?) I'm on a lot pushed back way behind the Lands' house, which can be just about made out, if you know what you're looking for/looking at, in this pic. It's where the Hatfields hunt and I've earmarked it for at least one other scene.

But I've only just realised that I made it a community lot for gameplay reasons whereas for scene-staging it'll be much easier if It's residential. Which is why I'm here, to change the zoning.

I'm not sure if I want to be way out here for the scene I need now or closer to the trail, over here:

@simplysimmingxo It wasn't up for download, but if you want it here it goes:

I forgot that was in the picture when I first replied but I think this is what you wanted, right? Not the Plumbob Pictures studio gate. Uploaded my original file because I definitely futzed with that thing to set a scene (partially) inside it. This one should be fine, though.

Also, there was some cyclonesue stuff that might be even more to the point of what you're looking for.

I probably do have better pics but I can't try to find them, sorry. There is officially a decade's worth of backlog to slog through (and I will, but not til June...if anyone else happens to see this)(It will take all 3 months of summer, but that is the goal. 10 years is just ABSURD!!)

Mine are hood deco, but a quick search for CycloneSue stuff will probably turn up buy mode versions or other cool things you didn't know you needed (even the old TS2 sets are still staples in my downloads folder.)

(And just in case I still read it wrong, here's the studio gate, too. )

Literally less than 5 minutes. It occurred to me while typing up the last post. Including extracting and putting the Nelson face on it for comparison. SMH. I'm hopeless.

I remember there being an issue at first and I remember fixing it. This is a copy of a copy test hood I'm in, but a quick search through my files shows the same dates for all of them.

I moved his location in case it was just some weirdness overlapping with the background. Took off the original colour, reloaded Change Appearance and popped on another. Still stupid.

And it's not like that in Create-a-Sim.

So, what the hell?

What the hell, Nelson?

Sigh. I think I need to take myself off to bed or something. This seems like the easiest pose to recreate and I am so lost.

Do I need it? No. But the fact that I thought it'd be a simple 'load up and snap pic' kinda thing and now I'm just confused...yeah, that's pissing me off.

This bullshit is the best that I managed. Not even remotely the right vibe.

I had been putting off posting this (which basically means I probably never would) but seems like in the realm of sim absurdity my bit o' silliness can't even compete! So why not.

No one found it funny but me, but it does still crack me up!
