Cool fact: one time while assigning Taylor Swift eras to my characters I said Tobias was definitely Midnights (like just look at him) and then realised his birthday (Oct 21) is this album's release day so it's definitely fate.

This is Tobias, my autumn baby and one of my oldest and most significant sims ocs. He was originally a legacy heir many moons ago, and now he's ascended way beyond that and became such an important character to me. I'm currently writing a story about him and his music band! #sims4 #ShowUsYourSims

So I learned how to use srwe... oh it's over for yall now. It's a godsend

I love how the scenes with the twins reuniting with their love parallel each other🥺

(I need to catch up on all the context on this gen but I love the characters from what I've seen, I remember having a soft spot for Apollo since his intro haha)

I think actually that I need to add all the side characters for the fun value but the band will be the protags basically. But like, Zuri, Alyssa, Antonio and Paul will be hanging in the background, maybe Astrid as well (Pippa's love interest but she appears later on)

Mel @melien.bsky.social · 4d

I might dig them up and maybe give a little glow up to their makeovers and add Ellie. Idk even if I don't share it I love playing with them and watching the dynamics, I have this AU story about them I've been writing for myself and it was super useful for some things about their development

Mel @melien.bsky.social · 4d

Ooo found the pics!

It's interesting that technically Zuri isn't even on drums here. My current headcanon about her is that she's a fellow musician who has a solo project and she's the only other protege of Antonio and Alyssa aside from GC so they're all pretty close with her

I tried to do a band shot but didn't have drums in game so Zuri became a DJ

Tobias is traumatized seeing a football (he has that entire subplot about football basically only causing trouble in his life lol)

Oh and they all happened to have a curly hairstyle in this save!

Lennon is cooking for everyone because of course they are

Strangerville is lowkey my favourite world because I have an entire headcanon connecting it with Strangetown and I've played with the Curious brothers there before (I haven't finished that storyline either rip)

Mel @melien.bsky.social · 4d

I started a globetrotter sorta thing with them last year which eventually had to reach Strangerville so idk I might reboot it because both of these saves were with the old drummers anyway

Mel @melien.bsky.social · 4d

I randomly remembered how I had a Strangerville save with Galactic Crusade in like 2022 and they lived in such a cute trailer too and had cool makeovers? Oh I need to play with them there it will be fun

Happy 9th birthday to the Rose triplets, Tyler, Bianca and Kayla! <3 Thinking about how I've had these three since 2016 makes me feel so old lol. I wasn't even halfway through high school then! We've been through so much together.

I really enjoy these more complex plots with hurdles and conflicting emotions, even if I liked their couple and kind of rooted for them. Like it's pretty realistic it would go this way if their goals didn't align. So it makes it really interesting to see how things will play out in the future! 👀

Also Harps has always had this purple flowery aesthetic it's been her thing since her very first photoshoots from three years ago! She's so dear to my heart I need to feature her more

Mel @melien.bsky.social · 6d

I'm trying out some new things after having fixed my reshade so bear with me. I've also changed my defaults though I'm not sure yet if I'm going to stick with them

Aww I hope you also get to enjoy this weather at least for a little bit this year! 🧡

Mel @melien.bsky.social · 7d

But yeah I guess now that I switched back to reshade I actually have a chance of fixing my screenshots quality because I'm not sure what happened but after one of the updates all my usual gshade effects just stopped working properly and the quality suffered

Mel @melien.bsky.social · 7d

Holy shit I feel so out of the loop but apparently gshade which I've been using until recently is outdated and reshade is better and has more options and support but a few years ago it was actually the other way round for me? Reshade was kinda ass so I switched to gshade

Not to mention this specific time in October is just chef's kiss for me. The streets and parks are gorgeous

Mel @melien.bsky.social · 7d

I'm the exact person whose favourite season is autumn and who makes it their entire personality🤭
