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.

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'm with you, Bruce. That doesn't seem very safe.

Cassandra Goth is making a push-up outdoors in the snow. She isn't wearing any gloves and she's wearing shorts instead of long trousers.

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.

After the Foxbury Commons drama, the urn was brought to the dorms, because The Watcher couldn't release Townette's soul but wanted to get rid of the urn.

Grace took the opportunity to ask for a sugar skull, but she didn't receive one. Probably because she's sat 5 meters away from the urn.

Grace sits on the floor, 5 meters away from the urn.

Grim: I need a break.

And so, Grim took a break and decided to play Blicblock on a Gaming Mat.

Long-braid: It's Townette, she died, and I didn't even know her, but I'm super sad now.

Green Overalls: Oh no.

Grim: Could you please stand a bit further away, I'm trying to work here.

Green Overalls: Where did she go?

Grim: She's in the urn.

Grim collects Townette's soul, even though Long-braid and Green Overalls stand way to close to him for this to be safe. Long-braid shakes off his hands that are wet from tears.

Townette is now in an urn. Green Overalls looks shocked and confused. Long-braid cries some more.

Long-braid: Nooo, not Townette! I hadn't even met you, and now you're dead! I'm so sad now!

Grim: Please shut up, I'm trying to work here.

Green Overalls: What's going on?

Townette lies on the floor, dead. Grim has come up to her. Long-braid comes in to the room and looks shocked when he sees Townette lying lifeless on the floor.

Long-braid cries. Grim takes up his tablet and tries to do his job even though Long-braid stands really close to him.

Long-braid cries some more and is generally in the way of Grim who's just trying to do his job.

Long-braid continues to cry. Grim reaps Townette's sould. Green Overalls enters the scene.

Watcher: You JUST got an electric shock, why are you continuing? There's even smoke coming from you...

Townette: I'm just gonna do this liiittle thing here...

Watcher: Just so you know, you're just an autogenerated townie, so I won't save you if you die.
