Outtakes, 17.5 "What Comes Out Of The Fire"

[profbutters]

 Some days just aren't going to be great. This, I'm afraid, is one of them, and it's partly my own fault for aggravating my wrists and pulling some muscles.  On days like that, you're grateful when a few things go right.  So you get some outtakes.

Spoilery for the 4/18/2010 chapter of Squeaky Clean.

I think the fireman pining for a family while sitting next to the kitty dish and the demure widow playing chess with bigfoot are my two favorites.

Sorry today wasn't very good for you. It kind of sucked for me, too.

Here's to a better tomorrow, yeah?

[profbutters]

Yeah, I saw. You are WAY overdue for some nice stuff to happen to you.

This is all part of a gimundo serial story I've been writing. I've been co-writing a slashy spinoff with another Sims story writer, DocNerd. I don't know how comprehensible it is out of story context, but I'm definitely proud of it and I've been meaning to mention it to you. If you're interested, I can send you the link.

I'd love to read/see it!! I used to play the sims a lot before I Started having computer problems. Well, that was the first sims. I had Sims 2, but it wouldn't run on my old computer, and now with this "new" one, well, I dare not put anything else on it. In fact, I'm taking off as much as I can.

link away! :D

Yay for BTS pictures, and for cats! The last picture + caption definitely made me lol as well.

Aha! I didn't know it was him, exactly, but I did stop a bit and think: Hey, this one looks Roman. But I sorta convinced myself that he was an NPC that Cecilia did meet in an emergency, and who was later invited for the scene.

But as I read this BTS outtake I was reminded of ghostSecundus' cryptic message to his son.

Totally makes my day. Sorry to be enjoying at your expense, but I can't help it -- I like the pairing. ;)

Of course it's not REAL Secundus. It's just a new guy who is a firefighter who happens to be very, very much like Secundus, if that makes sense.

Max looks like a zombie in that picture of him and Sparkle.

MTS2 has several litter box recolors. I'm sure I have a wooden one somewhere. There's an AC version which is just newspapers (though my sims aren't allowed to own a litter box yet).

Cecil could always train them to use the toilet.

Zane definitely would not be happy to be photographed in his swim suit!

Somehow, I never pictured Cecelia as a paper thief. Stands to reason once I remember she's a clone.

Actually, in the old neighborhood, they were trained to use the toilet. They were both Legacy pets who'd been trained in all the commands and topped their Pet careers, and Cecil was given them so he could get his LTW more easily. After the rebuild, Cecil lost a lot of stuff, including a couple of businesses, all the perks, thirty friends, and two perfectly trained pets. There were no cheats in that house, either, except for Boolpropping Cecilia and Max and speeding up Cecil's pregnancy and Cecilia's babyhood. I miss it :(

Cecilia does a lot of stuff off camera that seems out of character! Not just paper stealing, but poison pill faces and a LOT of tub pirating.

Aha! I was wondering how you did Secundus!Fireman. (Yes, I'm caught up; no, I didn't leave a comment because I suck.) I wasn't sure if you'd found some way to NPCize a CAS char or what. What do you use for your make-like-a-ghost hack, btw?

[profbutters]

Aw, you don't suck at all.

If there's a way to NPCize a CAS Sim, I don't know it. I just used Fanseelamb's unlocked firefighter outfits.

The Ghost Hack is on MTS2. It adds options to a Sim's pie menu, including all kinds of ghost colors and the options to float like a ghost. Then you can unghost the Sim.
