Joy isn’t found — it’s made <3

(Jack worked very hard for it ;)

Here are the ugly sweaters Noxee sent them ö.Ö'

And you won't believe what my kids got me for Christmas! When I removed the gift wrap, I've seen the back of the box and already assumed it was a pair and I wondered from which fandom - and when I turned the box around, I couldn't believe my eyes. I didn't know this is even possible? And then I cried and I cried, oh my. The best two friends in all the universes and soulmates as Funko Pops! How sweet is this? They even looked up their clothes and knew how much Jack loves his pizza and he even has two little drumsticks! And Vlad a paint brush (since he painted a lot in the Sims 4) and a book, because he's a writer.

I've bought a set of six japanese cat prints (2 for each of us) and I picked these two, because they reminded me of Vlad (Dragon) and Jack (Dokkaebi) The two Block Zoo boxes are also gifts from my kids, they found them in Berlin and it's Saiwa as a Tiger (his Chinese Zodiac sign and original role in the contest) and as a Fox (because he's a Gumiho)

We have so much fun, there is so much to explore and they are so, so beautiful <3 (It still cracks me up that it's EA's fault that I even have a computer that runs inZOI because I couldn't play the Sims 4 anymore on my ancient toaster after an update about a year ago so I had to buy a new one lol) And while I can see why some people complain about missing stuff in inZOI (but remember: it's still early access), for our way to play (story telling and building), it already offers (more than) everything we need and it will only get better and better for us with more content. Courtesy of the color wheel and that we can add patterns and images while we play(!) and the game already offers so much in build/live mode, I haven't even used the 3D-printer or any CC yet. Not even the pose maker I've been so excited about ^^' I'm even able to add gameplay fun in between the story takes because we can adjust the length of the day (can you imagine that? In Sims 4 it took me already half of the day to get them on their horses ^^' So it was pretty stressful to also actually play the game and I even cheated their needs to seize the day/night time omg). It's so much more chill for all of us, even without cheats :3

We already finished the first Chapter (with 12 Episodes) and started the second. you can find the Chapter 1 Episode Overview -> here

While the episodes are still as long as always, I'll keep the chapters shorter, with less episodes, so it's easier to follow along.

If you're interested in what we do over there in general (it's just like here, with the story stuff, lots of behind-the-scenes, builds, news and TMI) -> here is the archive

And -> here is the general Story Hub with all the links and info

With the open world, the color wheel, the cars... inZOI gives me happy Sims 3 vibes and I couldn't be happier. I can make the world our own again.

Yeah, just a heads-up that we are going to be happily busy over there for the foreseeable future. I hope you are all doing well!
