Sunday Post #430: ALL the Socialization


Welcome to The Sunday Post hosted by Kimba @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer, where I talk about what is going on in life and the blog, and show you all the bookish things I got that week!


What I've been doing:

The amount of socialization I did this week... wild. I'm gonna need a couple weeks to recover 😆 I am obviously being dramatic. Lol. But I saw family three days in a row for all the Thanksgiving/birthday things! And I have a BIG extended family! Did I read during Thanksgiving? Yes. Did anyone bat an eye? No 😂 They are all used to it. Lol. But it was nice to see them all because it had definitely been a while. Aside from that, I haven't been doing much besides baking for all the get-togethers. Lol.

What I've been watching:

On my MCU rewatch I watched the following 3 movies. I love Ant-Man, but Captain America, he is my favorite 🥰 


This weekend I also finally watched the new Alien movie and it was pretty good! I liked the premise and the third act was horrifying. The alien at the end, it was so disturbing it almost made me cry. I hated it! Which is what made it great! 😆 This is a horror movie after all. Lol.


What I've been listening to:


"This song is actually about Shadow from Sonic, his constant struggle to suppress his pain and past while trying to figure out his future..." -Unlike Pluto

What I've been playing:

One thing I forgot to mention last week amidst all the ranting lol, is that I got the My Sims bundle on the Switch! I heard that it was more similar to Animal Crossing than The Sims and I really wanted to give it a try because I love ACNH!


I have only played a little of the My Sims one so far, but I'm very excited to try My Sims Kingdom too!

 

As for The Sims 4, I went back to my save file where I was playing through the Reaper's Reward event/the Life & Death pack. This guy below is the boyfriend of one of my main Sims and they moved in together not that long ago. Well, I've been working on their bucket lists and this guy wanted to befriend a dolphin so I took them to Sulani so he could do that. Well, while he was playing with a dolphin he got the pop-up for a new personality trait and it made me laugh so hard!

 

He got the Dog Lover trait while playing with a dolphin 😭🤣 I can't with this game. To be fair, there is no Dolphin Lover trait so I guess 'Dog' was the closest thing? 😂 (I did end up getting him a dog though lol. I'll have to post a picture of the new family next week!)

 

And in the two screenshots above you'll see my other main Sim, the one who's dead lol, also working on his bucket list. Lol. He wanted to WooHoo in a lighthouse and he wanted to fight a vampire 😂 Oh, and below you will see that he finally got married to the fiance who proposed to him the day after their first date! 🤣 Yeah, I did make them wait a while. Lol. And in the second screenshot below is his sister marrying the dolphin guy she's been seeing for a while too! The dead brother got a proper wedding, but these two eloped. Lol.


And the reason why I was working on all the bucket list stuff is because I wanted the dead brother to go through the new rebirth feature! I had not tried this yet so I chose to do this instead of bringing him back to life, which was my original plan.

 

And here you will see him being reborn as his sister's daughter! So cute! I love this feature so much! It's so cool!

  1. Okay, first off, there is a Sims game for my Switch? How did I not know? Must get it! Captain America is my favorite as well. I wasn't sure about the new Alien movie, but your comment about the alien at the end? Yeah, now I have to see it! Glad you were able to make it through all the crazy socialization that comes with the holidays. And still get some reading done! Hope you have a good first week of December!

    1. There is! But be warned, it is not like your typical Sims game. It is a lot more like Animal Crossing. I've played it for a little bit and I don't love it as much as I do The Sims 4, but it's still really fun and cute. Plus, you get two games in one!

      While I didn't love the new Alien movie, it also wasn't terrible. And that alien at the end omg 😭 Nightmare-inducing.

      Thanks! I hope you have a good week too!
