victorluvsalice: So! Start of a new Sim Year, with the first Sunday of Spring, and it’s Day On

victorluvsalice: So! Start of a new Sim Year, with the first Sunday of Spring, and it’s Day One with our new Chill Save family – one Smiler Always! I explained their deal last week, but in short – this is a Sim-ification of The Smiler roller coaster from Alton Park, which I got mildly obsessed with at the end of last year, and now I kind of ship Victor and Alice with ‘em. Because my brain, people.Of course, in order to ship them with Victor and Alice, I have to get them established in my Chill Save, and that’s what we’re doing now! Let me bring you up to speed on Smiler’s deal:1. They’re a vampire – my first straight from CAS, I believe! I felt that this was a good fit because vampires get various brain-bending and emotion-bending powers, and given that The Smiler’s themeing is brainwashing people to be happy and obedient all the time…they’re not quite to that point yet, but they’re working on it!2. They started with the Friend of the World aspiration (because of course they want to be friends with everybody), which gave them the Gregarious trait. I also made them Erratic (The Smiler’s screens tend to be a bit purposefully glitchy, and characterizing them as something of a gremlin seems popular on tumblr), Cheerful (because of COURSE – Smile Always!), and a Music Lover (the 2013 Fireworks Show at Alton Towers really seems to suggest The Smiler likes pop remixes). Wonderful Whims added on the Innocent and Jester personality archetypes, meaning they’re very positive, silly, and fun, but can come off as too naive or not taking anything seriously. Again, really good traits for a roller coaster whose goal in life is to make everyone happy forever!3. For preferences, they Like Yellow, Purple, Pop Music, Strange Tunes, Robotics, Dancing, Media Production, and Fitness (which was their first like that popped up in-game, thanks to feeling energized from some Dark Mediation). They Dislike Gray and Lullabies Radio. I couldn’t think of an activity they’d for-sure dislike, so I’m leaving that up to the game.4. They have fairly wide attractiveness preferences, but I set them so they should at least find Victor and Alice attractive (like having black hair and stick-thin among their likes). These may need to be tweaked later, to increase romance chances!5. This isn’t official (yet), but Smiler’s non-binary – masculine frame as that’s how I originally pictured them, but they/them pronouns. (Hey, apparently the roller coaster is the color of the non-binary flag, sooo…)6. And they’re currently living in one of the Britechester starter homes, as my initial plan for them is to build up their vampire power and attend Foxbury Institute to study a Psychology degree, and actually do some other stuff with organizations and the like (I’m thinking the Spirit Squad if nothing else!). So yeah, that’s their deal – non-binary overly-cheerful vampire with loud fashion and decor sense. As you might guess from their outfits and the way they’ve decorated their house. XD Most of this is from EA, but Smiler’s dark form, as seen in the seventh picture onward, is wearing a yellow take on Beetlejuice’s outfit from the @the-crypt-o-club‘s “Creepy Creations” Simblrween 2020 fan stuff pack, while the spiral eyes are a special face paint from Cryptiam’s Surreal Eyes Pack on Nexus Mods! Both felt RIGHT, you know? :pANYWAY! On to Smiler’s first day of existence, which was reasonably exciting. After getting the house to their liking, taking “Cast Hallucination” and “Occult Student” for their staring vampire powers, and braving the sun to catch some butterflies, Smiler got themselves a nice colorful umbrella and set out to make friends! Because for some reason the Welcome Wagon never showed up, thanks game! Their first attempt at friendship was with passing jogger Lillie Benitez, but things didn’t go very well – mainly because she’s a Gloomy Sim who hates Fitness and isn’t a Music Lover, meaning she did not vibe with Smiler’s attempts at conversation. So instead they decided to use her for power practice and had her hallucinate a different friend to talk to while they watched a movie. Yay? Fun! Love the sim and your playthrough! -- source link
