Video And Simming Sunday

crossover_chickYeah, kind of a lazy day around the house -- we got a fair bit of snow, but it was very light and fluffy, and had already melted off the roads by the time I woke up. Had nowhere to go, though, so I just stayed in and mainly watched stuff on YouTube. Stuff being:
-->Some RabbidLuigi countdowns, including an old list of his favorite levels, one about great games that didn't sell well (largely due to shitting timing on their release), one about best water levels, and one about worst tutorials
-->A bunch of Deligracy videos, including a sum-up of the recent Sims Team livestream showing off the newest game pack coming out soon (Jungle Adventures! It looks fun :D), a mod that breaks the two CAS sliders regarding body weight and fitness in very amusing ways (you can have Sims so large that their hands can't been seen through the rest of their flesh, or so thin their bodies are literally FLAT -- or even just a bunch of barely-visible rods), a dollhouse build (aka making a house that literally looks like a dollhouse! It was cool), and an old video where The Sim Supply and another friend, Zeus, collaborated on making her an ideal mate (they actually made a pretty decent looking guy, but Deli was not particularly impressed anyway)
-->Two "Wags to Riches" episodes from The Sim Supply-- one basically focused around improving the ambiance in each of Katrina's two vet clinics (bamboo did the trick nicely in the first) and doing a bit of vet work; the other somehow turned into "Upgrading Sim Roombas: The Episode" because James read a comment on how another Simmer kept their clinic clean with an army of the things and wanted to see just how expensive it was to fully upgrade a cheap robot vac (pretty expensive!)
-->Helloween's latest Donkey Kong Country 3 set -- he suffered for this one, folks. Poor man kept dying because of delayed button responses and silly mistakes. Plus his headset started to fall off during an autoscroll level. And he had to fight a boss he hates (not really because of the boss, but because of the minigame involved in fighting it), and deal with an annoying fish that would chomp his Kongs if he didn't keep it fed. You could hear him basically going "so done" by the end of the set. *pats him*
I did do a few other things, including:
-->Another page on "Secundus 2" -- finally got Clara to start talking about her own family history. Victor is all excited because he's heard of her father and the butterfly he named after her mother. :D I should write a short about him meeting Daniel Clayton and them geeking out over butterflies together. Rather a shame the comics killed them off before they could meet Doc -- think they would have liked him.
-->Some Sims 4 of my own -- still with the McFlys. Jennifer is very pregnant, and suffering from some NASTY morning sickness, let me tell you. Poor thing. . .on the plus side, she painted a masterpiece, and she and Marty managed to get out for a bit with their friend Emmett. Back to Pupperstone Park, where watching people play chess is still the main attraction. :p Ah well, they had fun. And Douglas is up to level 2 in all of his skills now, which is also a good thing. Now I just have to cross my fingers and hope I can afford to remodel their house a bit when the new baby comes along. *swallows* And hope that my forgetting "On a Ley Line" was on the lot doesn't come back to bite me. Triplets aren't a thing in this game, right?? ^^;
-->Clearing out my e-mail inbox (well, I say clearing, there were two things in there, but hey, still)
And right now I'm gonna go ahead and get some queueing stuff done on The Valice Multiverse. And then maybe rewatch an old Fun With Shorts or something. Because it's my three-day weekend and I do what I want. :p Night all!
