Eco Lifestyle Gameplay Growing Together Parenthood The Moody Family Cult The Sims 4

Off-The-Grid: Infants

A few days ago, I decided to choose a Moody Family Cult household in Brindleton Bay that I hadn’t played yet, essentially starting from scratch. I had pre-made 13 families to move into the town originally and I felt like an easy challenge, so I chose Shelly Moody because she was a single Sim, living alone in a tiny house, and a single Sim is easier to manage than a whole family, especially when your whole town is off-the-grid. I also only had 5 unplayed households left to play to choose from, most of which were single bachelors and bachelorettes, and I wasn’t in the mood for romancing. I thought at the very least, I could make her interested in Charlie or Faith and I could force a love triangle, which sounded typical, but interesting given the story’s current context that Charlie (cult leader) and Faith (his 2nd in command) are currently engaged and they’re both friends with every single person in the cult. I was curious about what would happen if I caused a rift, would the game be smart enough for the rest of the cult to have opinions or feelings about the ensuing drama and possible breakup? Would they shun the newcomer? 🤔

4 Days Later…

I’ve done so much Simming the past 4 days that I’d love to show you a billion screenshots of, but unfortunately the super fast SSD drive I was using to run the game on and store screenshots, decided to start spitting errors at me instead of Sims, and I had to reformat it, losing all of 2024’s raw content! 😭

I then spent the next ~3 hours uninstalling & reinstalling the game, and another hour reinstalling mods and saves. Thankfully The Sims saves your actual Sims files to C:// drive! 🙀🤯 But what a pain in the ass! And as far as hard drive failures go, I’ve definitely lost way worse! Like years worth of data and original art! Some Sims screenshots are nothing to cry over. It’s just a game! 🥲 The loss of a 6 month old drive really sucks though. 😒 If anyone has any recommendations on GOOD SSD drives, I’m all ears because my new laptop’s native hard drive is tiiiiiiiny! Contact me on Twitter with recommendations, if you have any! 🤔

A Long Overdue Update!

We have a new logo! And I revamped the whole site to be more in line with what my original vision for it was! I’m very pleased with it so far! (But I wish I could get off of Twitter/X, still trying out alternatives. 😒)

Well, it’s been a minute since I updated this site, not that anyone goes here anyway, but I’m currently preparing to hit the Sims Bunker for a few days, so I thought I’d post an update before I did. 😊
