Oh wow ewenk, that's great! That sounds super fucking awesome, and I'm especially liking Saguaro's final form.



Related to a certain British politician, by any chance? :v



Thank you!



Man, ain't this the fuckin' truth? The post I've been working on is probably one of my most ambitious updates yet. Not quite rivalling the wedding, since there's nowhere near as many Sims on one lot, just... ambitious in a different way.

Just for shits and giggles, I feel like showing you a spoiler free screenshot that displays what I mean:



...Yeah.

(Also, just a brief note, I had hoped to get said update done and dusted for today, but that's gone out of the window. Why? Because I'm fucking sick again this time I have a chest infection ugh)



BRITNEY'S BACK, BITCH

Oddly enough, she predated Lord Buckethead, having been alluded to as far back as volume one, but he probably would have ended up being referenced.

Also, even without context, that spawner pile screenshot is nightmarish. Good luck.

Ahhh! I really need to reread your old stuff, refresh my memory, because I admit I don't really recall.

And haaa yeah thanks, I'm gonna need it. :P

Oh wow! That sounds really awesome, I like the hell out of that.



and lmao at this

Whatever you decide, it's great to see you again. Seeing Simplicio return would be a lot of fun but I also get it if it doesn't happen. If you ever feel like it again, you're always welcome to participate just as a reader. I spent most of a year redoing my old posts so the story probably didn't progress that far in that time.

Anyway, I come late again bearing a past update. And boy am I going to be on the shitlist for upsetting Edward two updates in a row, across time and space...

Okay 'scuse the radio silence from me, but I wanted to make sure I actually had something to share before posting again.

Honestly ewenk, I agree with Nat. Take as much time as you can spare and want to spend on the thread, regardless of whether you read or contribute stories as well, it's still good to see you around. Sometimes life just straight up gets in the way. I found it super interesting to read your notes, and I really like the concept of A Matter of Gardening.



God fucking damn it Nat go and sit your ass down in the naughty corner

Edward bby <3



Anyway, as implied above, I have an update of my own at last. A couple of things I want to note about this update, however:

• This is long. Maybe my longest update yet? I don't know. It stands at 2012 words, with 167 pictures. As such, this is again going to need to be spread over two posts. (EDIT: actually, make that three!) Hoo, boy.
• This is also probably one of the most elaborate updates I've done. Not quite to the extent of the wedding, purely because the number of Sims involved is a lot lower. I think the Quindigo wedding involved roughly 40 Sims on one lot? So yeah.
• There is, unfortunately, a little bit of a discrepancy in my screenshotting that was unavoidable. Without giving away any spoilers, I had trouble with knives. Sometimes they don't match up and I had to make do with what I had. Hopefully it's not too obvious, so try and ignore it.
• Similarly, some of the scenes required on needing pose packs that outright don't exist, so again I had to make do with what was available. I'm rather worried it makes the occasional action look a bit odd, but man, I tried.
• I'm pretty sure I linked this video before in the past, after saying Nat stated it's basically how Rikard the Destroyer sounds. Do me a favour, guys. Listen to it again. Really get that voice in your heads, and then read his dialogue in the same voice as best as possible. If I could do video editing, I would've made something special for this update, but alas I wouldn't know where to begin, so you'll have to use your imaginations. :P

Boy, that was bloody and action packed and I loved it :D

Well done, Bloo ^^

Yep, it's apparently the perfect time to go, Ana :o

The question is, is it the right time for Brie too? :o
I guess it's possible if Tate is busy...

@Bloodiedhell where did you get that werewolf from!? :O

You had me scared for a bit there...

Me: "WEDNESDAY! NOOOOOO...! ... oh, she's okay, phew! And hooray, Abraxas isn't... quite so okay!"


An epic post, Bloodied, and worth waiting for.

Woah that was insane, Bloodied (hahaha it truly was bloodied - I'll see myself out) but I loved it anyway.

Poor Edward. I wanna smother him in affection.

Thanks guys! I'm super glad you all enjoyed it. I'll be honest, I'm really proud of how it turned out. That shot with Nephilim conjuring all the knives is my new favourite (and is the one that I was showing off when I posted that spoiler free look at the mass of OMSPs and fog emitters).



At this point, poor Annalise is so terrified for her and the kids' safety that she's preparing to take off by herself and move into a temporary hiding spot until Brie can escape as well.



They're decor pieces, converted from Skyrim by @murfee. I think they're the same person who did the Dragon Age: Origins conversions that I used waaayyyy back in an earlier set of posts for some of Yahzoputl's forms.

Anyway, the werewolves are here and here.



Hehehehehehe >)

But yeah, that was a cruel trick. By both Abraxas/Nephilim and me too, I'll admit. :v

Thank you, I'm super glad. <3



It was really fun to do, as well! I completely lost track of time more than once just having fun shitting around with effects from the fog emitter, too. (Yeah, the magic effects weren't photoshop or magical CC - all the fireballs, the magical shield, the telekinesis effect and form change mist, those are all EA made.)







hhnnngggggg mood

...okay so for all our younger readers, is it cringey if my 30 year old ass says "mood"? Tell me if it is so I can completely weaponise that

THIS. WAS. BRILLIANT! Hooo boy, Nephilim sure packs a punch. I'm probably forgetting something here, but is Caile just a regular human? (Physically, anyway. She's totally mental.)

Thank you!

And no, you're right, Caile is just human. And yes, absolutely batshit.

I know Miles mentioned the Graves sisters when filling Rikard and Aeshma in, but honestly, I think including them as well would've been overkill.

Poor Anna, that sure was quite the experience ^^

You're right Bloo, what happened probably was the push needed to flee the place...

And yeah, if Brie can't join her yet, she can always wait for her in the planned hiding spot ^^

Why am I not surprised that literal demons are nicer people than Abraxas, though?

Absolutely, at this point she feels like if she stays any longer she's being an irresponsible mother. She probably already feels like that for staying so long.



He's put a hell of a lot of effort into being completely and utterly horrendous, he's not about to let some literal hellspawn dethrone him now!


Anyway I've got some outtakes from that battle which I figure would entertain you guys.

Mildly, mildly NSFW for a thong. Don't worry, it's not on Abraxas.

So your game thinks there is someone more two-faced than Abraxas?
(oh, wait. TATE has that title sewn up.)

I think I would've slightly preferred it if my game had done that to Abraxas lmao.

That was such a good post. Well done on pulling it off so well - I definitely wouldn't have done as well.

Let's hope she takes notice...
Me too, man. I'm not hurting him because I'm an evil person or anything, just figured that given how I keep referencing his PTSD, I need to show and not tell.

Definitely is Shame we don't need any more SV High scenes because I'd love a certain teacher to make this thread...

I'm still not over Aeshma's second face. Of all the sims...

Hey guys, just a heads up, if you don't already know. If any of you have images posted here, or elsewhere in MTS, that are hosted on Tinypic, now is the time to move them elsewhere if you want to keep them posted, since Tinypic is shutting down. September 16th will be the last date you will be able to access your images. The first five chapters of my story used Tinypic, but I have now uploaded them to Imgur with the rest.
