Five things about Naomi

I was tagged by the lovely @justsimroarks to list 5 facts about my favorite sim about a forever ago, so I’m finally getting to it! Thank you for this, I had a lot of fun coming up with them, and then I chose to take a trip down memory lane to illustrate the facts and it was great ❤

Well at the moment my favorite sim is Hannah, but since Naomi, her great-grandmother, is the one sim I spent the most time playing with (over a year), and is overall probably the one I’ve been the most attached to, here are five facts about Naomi! With pretty screenshots, because c’mon.

I hope you enjoy it!

Here come the facts:

1. Naomi has been married twice. Both husbands have left her widowed when they died of old age. What can I say, Naomi’s lived a long life.

2. Naomi has mastered over twenty skills, including painting, her lifelong passion, but also rocket science.

3. Naomi had a hand in raising her four younger siblings, her own four children, and her first grandson, after her teenage son’s girlfriend got pregnant. Naomi is THE mother figure in my game.

4. Naomi never really got over the death of her older brother Hunter. She was the “big sister” and the mother figure for literally everybody else in her life, but he was her big brother, and they were best friends. He died of old age, but when he died she lost the one person she felt the closest to in the world. At least until Miranda and Azalea.

5. I gave Naomi her signature green dress from @aharris00britney the very day she aged up into a teen. I thought it was a bit too short for her once she became an elder so I added some shorts underneath, but this dress is very much her. Every other outfit has changed at some point, but she’s keeping that dress until the day she dies.

5 things that make me happy ? That’s a nice exercise !

-> Forêt Noires (the cake. It’s the best thing in the world)
-> An hour in a bookshop, and coming back home with a brand new book
-> Feeling relaxed and renewed after a great yoga session
-> Sharing my passion for the Sims with this amazing community, no joke, one of my best decisions.
-> Call me cheesy, but binge-watching my favorite tv show with SO. It makes me feel comfortable and safe.

Movie Gif Tag!

Thank you @gemgeminox for tagging me, that was really fun, and actually quite challenging xD

I thought Beauty and the Beast would make the cut, it was the third out of the three we pretty much had in common :p

Anyway, you might find a theme or two in my selection of movies, something about bookish badasses, spookiness and family themes… I didn’t think it would be quite that obvious!

Tell me if you recognize them 🙂 And in the meantime, I’m tagging @minntycream-sims @thebooksimmer @cowplant-pizza @justsimroarks @daisydezem @thelurgoyf @scottishsimmer21 , if you want to do it I’ll be happy to see it ❤

Rules: Using gifs, and without using titles, list your top ten favorite movies of all time. They don’t have to be in any particular order. Tag however many people you like.

(and now you’ve forgotten the whole list, meheheh)

Surprise

image

I’m deep into the temple now. The air is colder, still, silent. The sound of my pen running on the clipboard resonates and echoes on the old stones. That, and my own breathing.

It’s actually soothing.

image

It’s also the best atmosphere to concentrate.

image

Although of course… If you pay attention you will also hear the crackling from the gate I’m trying to go through. It’s an electricity trap, and its sound is ominous, reminding me that one go through it would be the end of any and all adventuring.

image

But I’m going through it. I have a treasure to discover.

image

Every time I activate a mechanism, before I even know if I was wrong or right, my heart speeds up. It’s a dizzying, addictive feeling.

image

This time I got it wrong. But something’s about to cheer me up.

image

My brother and sister braved their distaste for jungle trekking to join me! On their own!

image

It means even more to me than what they could possibly guess. I am overjoyed to end this bout of exploration digging around with my little sister.

Perseverance

As I said, I get better every day, but I still make mistakes. But my morale and determination are harder to shake than a skeleton’s disembodied hand, and I’m prepared for everything the dead omiscans have to throw at me.

I am stubborn.

And I actually enjoy this a lot more than I probably should.

Alone in the Temple

image

I leave the twins to enjoy the Selvadoradan culture… from afar. When I hug them bye, Cléo is trying to teach Cyril to move his hips to latin music. It was heartbreaking to walk away from how cute that was, but I’m sure Sara will take a video.

So it’s on my own that I go back to the temple. It’s easy when it’s just me, and fast. I practically know the way by heart, now.

image

And the dangers of the temple don’t scare me anymore.

image

I approach the mysteries and puzzles with confidence…

image

Even if I still get it wrong sometimes.

image

Thankfully, no curse this time. Just a cloud of bone dust blown over my face. It’s sort of yucky, but at least it’s not poison.

image

I really should remember to pack more interesting meals one of these days.
