Sunday Post #460: There's a Reason for the Late Post, But It's Not a Good One Lol

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 blog post title is givng Panic! at the Disco, and you know what? I'm okay with that 😆 But, like, early Panic! (There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet anyone? 😆), not the newer stuff. Was not a fan of it 😬 Anyway, this was another stressful week at work. Yaaay 🫠 But in good news, I finally got a new battery for my laptop! The one I use for games, the battery was terrible! It kept dying at like 40-50% battery and it was driving me insane. It's so much nicer having this new one now 😌

I also got more nail polishes. I think I need an intervention at this point because my addiction to polish is BAD 😂 But look at the colors! I LOVE neons!

What I've been watching:

This week I finally started season 2 of Squid Game! Season 3 came out not that long ago, and I am super behind! So I'm catching up slowly because my ADHD does not let me sit and watch anything. I always have to do something else. Sometimes I play video games or paint my nails or even read while I have the TV going! But I can't do that if I'm watching this subbed, so it's slow going 😅

And then this morning while I was playing The Sims 4, I finally put on some Final Destination! I've been wanting to rewatch these movies since I saw the 6th one a couple weeks ago. They are SO good!

 

Right now I have some Sims 4 gameplay going while I write this (just started watching DrGluon and the chaos in his Sims videos is amazing! Literally has me cackling like a witch 😆), but once I finish it I think I'm gonna put on movie four, even though it's my least favorite in the series.

What I've been listening to:

"I wrote this song about how sometimes, you are the only one that can understand your own pain. And sometimes, only YOU can find the strength to heal yourself when no one else can." -Unlike Pluto

What I've been playing:

And now for the reason that this post is super late today... well, first of all, I haven't really been in a bloggy mood lately. But I HAVE been in a very Sims 4 mood, and that's what I've been doing most of today 😆 I played this week's rewards event, but I didn't end up taking any screenshots because nothing too exciting happened. I actually didn't play a lot of that save this week. What I did do is I started a new bingo board with this sim:

 

And it's been so much fun! At this point, I only have like 3 more tasks I need to complete, but here is how things went. First, she woohoo'd Vladdy Daddy:

 

Except, he is notoriously hard to romance, so what I did is the Sad Ring Bear quest (or whatever it's called lol) where at the end you end up with a ring with a special power that, when activated, none of your romantic interactions fail! It was amazing! I've had the Lovestruck pack for a while, since it came out, but I don't think I've done that quest yet, so I enjoyed doing it. And so did my sim because she ended up falling for the guy under the bear costume 😏😂

 

In that first screenshot above, he had just removed the bear costume, and my sim looks shocked. I was like, Girl, saaame. That Sim ended up being shockingly attractive 😆

 

I thought my sim needed to max the handiness skill, so I thought it was a good excuse to visit my sim from my last bingo card for mentoring. It turns out she didn't need that skill 🙄 BUT it was still nice because these two were able to become friends. Lol.

 

She entered the lottery, and she obviously didn't win. You know who did? A freaking alien! And it's the aliens that abduct you and impregnate male sims! Surprisingly, not long after the lottery, my sim ended up getting abducted (in the middle of a yard sale, no less 😭), and I'm wondering if it was the alien that won the lottery 🤔

Anyway, the last thing I did in this save before I switched over to a different one is I got these two married, and they're currently expecting twins! Yaaaaay 🙃 Really not looking forward to infants, because I will have to with this bingo board. I'm gonna need a toddler to max all the skills 😭

These two above are Ana and Sam. Aren't they cute? If you don't remember them, that's because I last played with Ana ONE YEAR ago. Lol. I did the Every Lot Challenge in combination with a bingo board that the Sims team put out. It was a lot of fun! And now with this fun tool that generates bingo boards easily, I decided that I wanted to do the Every Lot challenge again! It is quite difficult, but it is fun! And there have been some new lot challenges added to the game since last year, so it won't be exactly the same.

 

This is Aria, the daughter of Ana and Sam, and I decided I wanted to use her for this challenge. This is the bingo board that generated for her, and my progress on it so far:

I decided to give her the Chased by Death trait, which makes sims die a whole lot easier. And guess what happened?

 

She freaking died trying to fix the fridge 😭 It's so sad that she died right in a pile of trash. Poor girl 😂 Even more sad was that despite her, um, predicament, she was expected at work, as you can see by the top notification on the right screenshot. The kicker: she works as a reaper, meaning that the Grim Reaper who came to reap her is her BOSS 😭 Very awkward 😅

 

It's my fault. I had a feeling this would happen. Lol. But it's fine! We'll just continue as a ghost! So, one of the lot traits is that her house is super haunted, and so that notification in the first screenshot above was quite something. Look at her! She's literally transparent 😂 Oh yes, and that is her with a voodoo doll. No big deal.

 

One day her brother asked her over to their house, where she obviously ran into her mom, who I had totally forgotten was a Spellcaster! A Spellcaster that could easily bring her back to life, so that is exactly what she did. Lol. I was actually enjoying playing with her as a ghost because of all the helpful ghost powers, but she needs to be a live for certain tasks (like getting pregnant and having twins 😭 freaking twins!) I had her make a ring with a power that will hopefully help her in, you know, not dying 😆 So we will see. Lol.

 

And speaking of her mom, her other mom called to tell her that they broke up 😭 And then again to tell her that they were back together. This happened in like a span of 24 Sim hours 😂

The save file I have been obsessed with this weekend, and the one I will probably go back to as soon as I finish writing this, is my Very Veggie Legacy! I am back to playing this silly legacy, and I am having so much fun! So this is my second gen, the eggplant generation, and I love them! One skill the second gen will have to max is the dancing skill, so I had her get started on that in her room. Then her brother came over autonomously and joined her! 😭 It's so cute! This is why he is my favorite! He is, unfortunately, not my heir, though. But that is fine because I don't want him to be evil. Lol. Because his sister is very evil. So she had this boyfriend, right? He was smitten. She started being mean to him and broke up with him.

 

The poor schmuck, the day after, he comes over to her house to ask her to prom! 😭 My guy, she is not worth it 😭 Leave while you can!

 

Anyway, she said no. Lol. She then makes an enemy out of this guy below just for fun. And you can tell she's having fun from all the moodlets. I'm pretty sure this girl made this poor guy cry! Look at him! 😭

 

Meanwhile, her brother gets a crush on a girl from their friend group. Look at how cute they are! 😍

One night, she sneaks out to a college party. Keep in mind, she is still a teen 👀 Meanwhile, her brother is building a snowman with his new girlfriend 😭 It's so cute!! 😭

At prom, she is doing a sweetheart dance with a guy when her current BOYFRIEND shows up to surprise her. The poor guy. It was so sweet of him, but she does not care. In fact, she broke up with him on the spot (before HE could break up with HER when he saw her flirting with the other guy)! The audacity of this girl 🙄😂

 

Look at his sad walk! 😭 But one good thing that came out of the night is that her brother and she got Prom Royalty and Prom Jester, respectively! Fun!

 

For her aspiration, she needed to summon an urban myth twice. However, there is a good chance that they can die if the prank backfires. Well, it backfired and she DIED! To be honest, she kinda deserved it 😆 She's awful. Lol. But below you will see her brother stumbling over her body, pleading with Grim to spare her. He's so sweet! 😭 Unfortunately, Grim didn't spare her, so I exited the game without saving 😆 (I had saved the game just before she attempted the urban myth prank the second time because I knew there would be a good chance that she would die lol).

 

I could've kept playing with her as a ghost and brought her back, but it was too much work 😆 And I'm just really excited to get started on all of her goals. I even built her house already! It's all ready for her to move into once she ages up into a young adult. It just would've taken way too long in this save because I don't have a Spellcaster on hand or ambrosia just lying around.

That's it for this week's telenovela. Stay tuned next week to see what other horrible things Amethyst gets up to, how many more hearts she breaks, and whether karma will get her again 👀 I don't usually play with "bad" sims, but I'm not gonna lie, playing with an evil sim has been pretty fun. Lol.
