Mac goes and does this today...

Macready: What was this place for… storytime or something?

MacCready: Hi, I'm MacCready... Been drinking since I was six. Never looked back

I'm playing through chapter 3 of Sim Settlements 2, and Mac keeps finding the idle animation markers!

Here...have some "Mac does randoms stuff and I love him for it." snaps that I've wrangled up some words for!(I've also been trying to find a use for that one pic where Mac is getting scolded by his dads...)

Nate: Right ye sticky fingered wee bam...I'm down 3 bottles eh Whiskey, and Jacob here's been tellin' me a third eh the budget seems to have mistakenly been spent on cigarettes...now I know geein' ye a talkin' tae won't do didly squat... MacCready: Get to the point, boss...I got stuff to do! Nate:Okay...nae need to get crabbit...especially when there's a bunch eh caps at stake here... MacCready: Bunch of caps, huh? Okay, hotshot. Spill it... Nate: Aye...I thought that might tickle your fancy...so, how's about a wee wager? One week without a dram or a smoke passin through that smart mouth eh yours and there'll be a tidy sum at the end for ye? MacCready: A'right old man... name your price? Nate: 500 caps... and Jake's gonna lay aff the coffee...he'll pocket another 50 for every day he cannae hack it... Jake: Woah...woah...Now... hold on a dang minute, Slick! I never... Nate: Ye no remember? I said I'd move Aiden to another floor? As far away from ye as possible? Jake: Oh...oh, yeah! Now I remember...One week...whaddya say, son? MacCready: Oh man, I love the sound a pile of caps makes.

MacCready finds a few ways to keep busy...

The time flies ...

MacCready: The only thing better than getting a bunch of caps is spending a bunch of caps.

Nate gets another week before it's back to the 'phantom cigarette pose' and daily repetitions of...

"Man, I could really use a cigarette."

I do suspect that the "Stranger" and Nate's little bit of role playing (wink wink) is a nod to Kinggath making this mod (that I love so much!) because he was fed up needing to build homes for his settlers! (dang right do it yourself!)

Look at baby Nate! Look at him and his wee jacket!

Jake has the best expressions!...

"But Wait! What is this? Why, it's an ASAM! Just the Thing I need!"

(There's a reason my Fic is named after this moment!...you can find that here!)

Now I need to capture the version where the raiders have not been dealt with (because Jake's reaction to the Deathclaw is the only one I'll ever accept!)

Mods btw:

Expressive expressions and distinctive teeth play a part I'd assume!

Sim Settlements 2 (obviously)

Butterfly knife is the Select Balisong

Sometimes the NPCs of Fallout write their own stories 🤣

Jake: Darlin', I'm talking to you!

because I normally micromanage everything and build everything myself lmao. I headcanon Sawyer has having some years in civil engineering because I do and I love hyperfixating on building my small little communities and such and at the moment I'm still slowly understanding how to use everything correctly but also like

there's been a few moments where Jake just calmly assumes that Sawyer doesn't want to sink hours into a settlement or knows how to build buildings and giant structures
