Hi! I'm Kats. I'm a simmer who mainly plays The Sims 4, but occasionally The Sims 1. I tell stories, take scenery screenshots, make videos, create mods, and build.

This is my thread of threads 🧶

In Original Ahriman's house. Ahriman Transportalates in a red light. She's wearing a white suit and black Oxford heels. The cat Mayor Whiskers sits next to her and looks at her.

Beren works on something at a robotics workstation in Bot Savants' room in Foxbury Commons. He's wearing a red T-shirt and jeans overalls with the bib down.

The bots Kodex, Melon, Goldie and Eve are in the Myshuno Meadows park. Eve nervously looks at a pigeon that sits among them.

The red sun gives off an eerie light in The Magic Realm, as it rises between two big and pointy rocks in Casters Alley.

Did you create both the family and their house? I've been playing the Forever Friends Event with them 😊

A while later, Summer and Travis are coming home. They walk up the stairs to the front door. Through one of the windows we can see a very large cake sitting on the floor inside the door.

Liberty: Hi, again. Can I ask for a favour?

Liberty has gone indoors and calls Ned on the phone.

Liberty: Oh my Watcher, yes!

Liberty looks excited and clenches her fists in triumph.

Liberty: Oh, mail.

Liberty notices that the flag is up on their Joralemon mailbox.

Liberty opens the mailbox and puts her hand in it.

Liberty pulls out a letter from the mailbox. She looks at the letter with curiosity.

Liberty: See you on Winterfest.

Ned: See you, and tell Travis and Summer I said hi.

Liberty and Ned have come back to Willow Creek after their end of term presentations. Liberty waves to Ned as they part ways to go to their respective homes.

Not only did I *not* tell him that he's welcome to barge in and use my stuff, I also confined him and all of his fairy friends to Innisgreen

I love seeing the similarities and differences between this old picture from 2020 - two years before I reset the save file and started with storytelling - and the first picture below

Beren, Kodex and Eve are in Beren's house, which is the most Nordhavensk minimalism home you've ever seen in your life, with white walls, white floors and a Robotics Workstation. Beren is wearing a white T-shirt and cuffed jeans. Both Kodex and Eve are blue (compared to today when only Kodex is blue, while Eve is silver). Beren is building a Utilibot, in other words a sentient being, on his Robotics Workstation. Kodex and Eve have Playful, cerise, circumflex shaped eyes and they seem to joke about something. Beren looks at Kodex and Eve.

I love these showers. I love that sims can shower in the same locker room with no issue. It's just casual showering and everyone minding their own business, as it should be.

#TheSims4

Jayden, Beatrice, Cameron and Tomax are showering in shower cubicles in a locker room.

Omg why does he shave off his beard in the shower autonomously!? 😭 Is this a bug or a "feature"? I have facial hair growth turned off for him, so every time he does this I have to give him his beard back in CAS

I found Jayden and Zoe looking at the clouds 😊

And Marcus Raven plotting something... 😐

#TheSims4

Jayden and Zoe are sitting at a picnic table in Henford and look at the clouds together. In the background is Marcus Raven behind some bushes, wearing a lab coat and looking at Jayden and Zoe.

Zoomed in picture of Marcus being creepy.

Why is everyone (except for Tomax, the Loner) walking towards the restroom to hang out there? 😅

#TheSims4

In Briny Tower, Foxbury Institute's Campus. Grace is using one of the toilet stalls, Cameron and Jayden are standing in the restroom, Beatrice, Morgan, Larry and Goldie are walking towards the restroom.

Poor Liberty, I'm running her into the wall 🥲 I played the event with her, so she hasn't had enough time to study

Liberty Lee in The Sims 4 has the Very Uncomfortable Emotion. She's hungry, tired, and feels nauseous from being stressed about having her exam in just an hour, while she's currently working on her presentation that she has to present today. #TheSims4

I made the right choice to play the event with these three. They're so silly! 😄

#TheSims4

Emit, Travis, Liberty and Summer are hanging out in Magnolia Blossom Park. Liberty blows a horn, Summer is singing and dancing, Emit applauses, and Travis is just there being supportive of whatever is going on.

Goldie and Larry seem to always hang out when I don't control them

My golden servobot, Goldie, and the Foxbury mascot, Larry, take a selfie together.
