STICKY: What is this journal about?

[tigerannesims2]

This is my Sims 2 blog. I've got one for Sims 3 as well - tigerannesims - although that one is a bit durrhurr, and I'm going to write new text for all the entries, some day.

I'm NOT the same person as the Norwegian blogger known as Tigeranne. Or Tigeranne on Instagram, or TigerAnne on Reddit. (On Reddit I'm u/TassieTigerAnne

Some comments and questions

[anonymous]

Hi! I'm an older sims2-playerfrom Sweden. I just spent two evenings with the Magpies and the Starblooms and want to say how much I enjoyed them :). Especially the Starblooms, since I have read a fair share of badfic and especially early sims2 stories with heartfaced main protagonists enduring chaos and doom in emo outfits. I'm a bit ashamed to admit it, but I enjoyed the Starblooms and the Narrator so much my husband has heard me laugh out loud at least twice and come rushing to see if I've had some sort of breakdown and been visited by the imaginary therapist.

But I haven't come just to say nice things about the stories I've read and how I have to read the other ones now, I have questions:

1. the gigantic baby known as "diaper man" in the Starbloom travecy - how is he made? I've seen things like that in youtube videos with vague expanations like "it's a cheat", or "there's a costume you can download", but I haven't found anything more specific.
2. In the Magpie uglacy story I laughed at Burton (I think it was, anyway) being "married" to the piano. Someone commented that if he had been in Sweden that would have worked. That was interesting to hear as a Swede, but I didn't understand it. I get that the joke is something to do with Sweden's reputation in America, or American stereotypes of Sweden, but i don't know what those stereotypes are, so the joke sort of went over my head.

I had a question about a hairmesh for a hair one ofe Statbloomd wore too, but now I can't find what scene it was in, so I'll just finish this by saying "Good luck with future projects"!

Hi! Welcome to my evil journal! I'm happy to hear that you enjoyed it.

About the Sweden-jokes... I think it's time I admit this, LOL: I'm from Norway, and it's just friendly sibling rivalry. The thing about him marrying the piano was inspired, I think, by something I read online. An American guy wanted to marry his car in real life, so he campaigned for a change of the law, and someone commented that "This is not Sweden." It seems like a lot of Americans think Sweden is some giant hippie commune. x)

I found the giant baby costume on Mod the Sims. There's no trick to it, and it works just like the other costumes in the game.

The Starblo0ps have such fabulous hairs, don't they? If you try to describe the style, I'll see if I can identify it.

Thank you for reading and commenting! Hopefully, I'll be able to provide some more material soon!
