đ Is there something theyâre good at thatâs basically muscle memory now?
She's an excellent marksman. Being raised male by a very manly man, her dad was very adamant she learns how to use any weapon she comes into contact with. She has a pretty extensive gun collection and likes to go hunting every now and then to sharpen her skills.
đś Dog or cat person?
Dog. She loves the loyalty of dogs and how easily trainable they are. Dogs are very obedient and make great family members. Plus, as law enforcement, she spends way more time with dogs than cats.
𦢠Share a random fact about them!
She's a total daddy's girl. Her mother passed away while having her, making her an only child. Despite that, her dad did his very best to give her a lot of love (in his own way). The only time Qal saw her dad cry was when she was throwing a tantrum and said she hated him (she was probably 5, or something).

it is time! for the yearly word offering, which will be: palladium
O, Sister.
OoooOOOoooooO, sister!
Is this your blood upon my blade,
my hands,
my heart?
O, sister, would he tear us apart?
My blood flowed with thine,
battle-bright, yours burned with mine,
Brightest sister, can you hear?
The weeping, wailing of your end's spear?
I am near; I would appear before you now.
O, sister,
he would part us,
he would start this feud between us,
to demean us both.
To break our troth.
And you have my solemn oath,
that he will not.
You have my solemn oath that we are knotted,
bound and clotted,
just like blood-
Like the blood of gods,
silver blood,
have my blood-
Your fatal flaw was flesh,
your only flaw was death.
I will rend it without rest,
and I will weave the finest mesh,
to coat your silver throat,
catch your final breath,
and keep it hidden.
My uncle will not come,
to someone so blind and dumb,
when he's not bidden.
My blood your shell, your nest,
heart still beating in your breast,
an eternity to test,
the weight of love.
O, I will preserve you,
sister, I deserve you,
beside my side till I am done,
now we will both outlast the sun.
Your only flaw was flesh but I have put that flaw to rest,
caught in the moment of your death,
you will linger.
Never toiling, never spoiling,
never to lift a single finger.
My sweet sword-sister,
my sweet singer.
O, sister,
is that you singing?
I can hear the metal ringing,
sing to me, O muse-
Hi, Epi! That character ask list looks fun! Can I ask 30 and 31 for my beloved Judi? <3
Hi Eulalia! Been enjoying catching up with Veridia, there's so much I've missed đ thank you for asking!
50 - Do they read books? What kind?
Judi does read books, even though she's not even remotely as much of a book addict as her brother. Quite a lot of it is non-fiction, some sort of business literature, but she also enjoys good poetry.
Her guilty pleasure is chick lit, especially when she's stressed otherwise. She always scouts for ones without a romance-centric plotline.
51 - Do they hold grudges?
In deep down, Judi does, but on the surface level she's quite practical about disagreements. She's not afraid of conflicts but prefers finding a solution and moving on rather than letting it impact her life. But she never forgets if someone has crossed her, and if it happens again, the person in question will quite surely stay on her black list forever.
First of all, I want to thank everyone who left nice words on my anniversary posts 𼺠I truly didn't expect this much love â¤đ Much love to you all â¤â¤â¤
The rest is under the cut!

I have been absolutely blown away by the response to this post. While I post my Sims pics to give others a glimpse in to my game, it is awesome to get such great feedback.
@nervosims, @helene2troie, @sterina-sims, @12raben, @jonnyparable, @anachronisims, @gold33, @katatty, @maksplaygroundsims2, @princesspiratecat & @eulaliasims- Thank you all so much, especially since there are some many of you who have the most gorgeous 'hoods as well!
And @anachronisims- Yes, these 'hoods are mostly boulders. the regular Maxis sized ones, plus larger and smaller ones, and Sophie-David's Neighborhood Volcanoes. There is a bunch of other deco used, but I went a bit wild with the rocks. I wanted there to be consistency with the neighborhoods, like you know they are from the same world, but all have individual seasonal patterns, biomes, races and flora/fauna.

Very maxis-match, I guess? I try to go for things (skins, hair, clothes, build/ buy) that either match the original maxis stuff very closely or is a straight up addon.
I think someone once described my style as realistic but maxis-match?
3. what is your favorite challenge?
I guess I have to say BACCs, since I always start one? I don't think I've ever finished a challenge, though.

This actually reminds me of where I live, Lake Arrowhead in Southern California when it's dry. Except I don't see a lake.

this is so gorgeous!! it reminds me a lot of northeast california/nw nevada, which is where i grew up of course haha
Yeah, itâll work pretty much for any desert-y place in North America. Like, anywhere from the Okanagan Desert in Canada, to the less mountainous parts of Montana down to New Mexico and west to the more interior parts of California, Oregon, and Washington in the US, and then down into interior northern Mexico. Mostly my inspiration for the look of the place is the Great Basin (so Alienbirthqueen is right on!) and Chihuahuan Deserts, though. Not so much the Mojave or the Sonoran because those are generally flatter (and lower in elevation and therefore much hotter/drier) and the vegetation is different. Like, thereâre no saguaro cacti, which is the signature plant of the Sonoran, of course. But the Lake Arrowhead area (or the Lake Tahoe area) can work, too, given that Iâm adding pines to break up lot-view textures. :) In that, it resembles my home turf in SW Colorado, as well. Â
Except yeah, no water. The place may or may not have some on-lot water, though, which wouldnât be big enough to be a lake. Iâll imagine it/them to be springs magically stocked with fish. But I havenât decided on that yet. I mean, I DO like to build my fishing spots, but Iâm trying to go for some authenticity here, trees notwithstanding. ;)
Anyway, basically any higher desert area thatâs not a âsandyâ place will do, at least with the season set-up Iâm giving the place. (Which of course can be changed to make it whatever anyone wants.) It has spring and autumn...mostly because I like to use season-enabled trees/shrubs so that thereâs a visual change with the seasons. I get kinda visually bored, if you will, otherwise. :)Â
jennamaxon replied to your photoset âTreeâing a bit. :) Mostly to break up the monolithic terrain texture...â
Rest rather green - much better in the second pic. For a moment, I thought you were frowning at the rubbish cart
Well, if weâre being all green and environmentally-conscious, rubbish is bad, right? :) But no, just frowning at the uber-green trees, Iâm afraid.Â
criquette-was-here replied to your photoset âTreeâing a bit. :) Mostly to break up the monolithic terrain texture...â
Oh, this neighborhood makes me want to create this type of climate setting too! Somehow it feels like a place from a good old 90's road movie. Love the new texture for the pines. Looks way better!
Well, that would certainly be different for you! All your neighborhoods and pics are so green and European and pretty. Which isnât a bad thing, of course, but Iâd be very interested to see what youâd do with a more desert/wasteland sort of environment....
nimitwinklesims replied to your photoset âHouston, we have a terrain. :D FINALLY! OMG, what a ginormous pain in...â
Cool cool cool! It looks so much like your photo!
Thatâs what I was shooting for. But I tell you what, it was hard! I couldnât figure out how TS2 decided which terrain images from the terrain default to paint where. It just seemed kind of random, and in some of my attempts, when put into TS2, the terrain was only using 2 (of the four) images in the terrain default, which looked really weird. So in the end, I put in an existing terrain, and then redid the road structure and resculpted most of the hills and such. Then, I still had to edit the terrain default to rearrange the images to suit this particular terrain to get it to look how I wanted. So it was more complicated than Iâd envisioned. I couldâve probably put more time into figuring out what was going on with all that, but I just wanted to get âer done so I could start building.
eulaliasims replied to your photoset âAw, câmon, you didnât really think I wouldnât do rocks, did you? :)â
oh, this looks fantastic. I love the scrub--that's always something I've felt some desert neighborhoods need. it adds a lot!
niamh-sims replied to your photoset âHouston, we have a terrain. :D FINALLY! OMG, what a ginormous pain in...â
That looks fantastic! I love the scrubby scrubs- perfect for that environment!
Yeah, for this kind of desert -- the American kind, as in all of North and South America -- thereâs gotta be scrub. Pretty much the only American desert that doesnât have scrub is the Atacama in S. America, since itâs like the driest place in the Americas. :) But even it has some scrub in places. I mean, this ainât the Sahara or Arabian deserts!Â
The lack of scrub really, REALLY bothers me in Strangetown, since thatâs obviously supposed to be inspired by Roswell, NM. I am still going to play that neighborhood one of these days, but it has to undergo major terrain/deco renovation before Iâll be able to look at it without screaming bloody murder. :)
greatcheesecakepersona replied to your photoset âHouston, we have a terrain. :D FINALLY! OMG, what a ginormous pain in...â
Lovely! Now all that's missing is the Breaking Bad van :)
HAH!. Yeah, Iâve never watched that show (though itâs on our list to watch), but I know that itâs set in New Mexico, though I donât know if itâs actually filmed there, so...yeah. :)
nimitwinklesims replied to your post âYou sound like such a cool person! It's really nice to hear about...â
I often have a hard time keeping the classical composers apart (I'm embarrassed to admit), but Smetana's Ma Vlast always makes me cry -- it was played at my Czech grandfather's funeral... It's heartwarming to read that you like the Czech composers a lot. I'm Dutch but because of my dÄda I have a fondness for Czech things as well. Also, sort of related, I have played Händel's Harp Concerto at one point (when I was still taking harp lessons).
Yes, Ma Vlast is one of the best pieces of music ever written. IMO, at least. :) Iâm not a person whoâs into patriotism/nationalism, but I do tend to love music that has a concrete feeling for place, both physically and emotionally, and Ma Vlast has both. Itâs why I love stuff that incorporates folk music from a particular country or area, because of that sense of place and time, and the Eastern European composers tend to do that really, really well, which is why I find myself drawn to them. Aaron Copland did that well, too, for American themes. Appalachian Spring (with its incorporation the Shaker âSimple Giftsâ song) and the Billy the Kid and Rodeo ballet music and whatnot. Great stuff. I think that this is why I was ultimately drawn to film/TV scores, both in terms of performance and my own compositions. Film scores are designed to have a sense of place and character and sometimes history about them. So I guess itâs not surprising that thatâs where I ended up spending more time, professionally speaking.
That said, for all that I am a classical musician, Iâm not a walking compendium of knowledge about all of classical music. Certainly not now that Iâve been away from school/academia for *cough* like 30 years now! I have forgotten much of what I did once know, but frankly my knowledge was always pretty specialized. I know much about the body of work of specific composers in whom I have an interest, but much of the rest...I donât care to know about it, frankly. All the baroque stuff? Meh. I mean, thereâs bits of it that I like -- Handel wrote lots of good stuff, for instance -- but much of it just sounds all the same to me, and Iâm just not interested enough to know more. Like, while I appreciate his technique and innovations and all that, I just donât much like Bachâs music, for instance, and I took/take a lot of ribbing for that, but...I like what I like, and the rest of it Iâm content to ignore. Which is pretty much my attitude in general, when it comes to music. *laugh*
jennamaxon replied to your post âYou sound like such a cool person! It's really nice to hear about...â
The Fantasia on a Theme of Thomas Tallis is an outstanding piece of music. Real hair on the back of your neck stuff. If you like 20th C English choral - my recommendation would be Holst's The Evening Watch. I heard (and sung) it first at college. I was breathless after the first listen.
You know, Holst has a lot of good stuff that no one seems to know about. :) If the average person knows any Holst at all, their knowledge tends to begin and end with Mars and Jupiter from The Planets. Which is a shame. I need to listen to more of his stuff, myself, now that you mention it.
