    it would be great to see a speedbuild of one of the schools! it’s such an inspiration to see what you’ve done with ur hoods!

    I'm not surprised by Buzz being a lonely old coot. I'm sure he will be excited by Tank moving in with him. The Cho family seems so fun with Johnson living with them. I noticed that Daisy has chemistry with Johnson. Hopefully, they will remain friends only. Johnson doesn't need any more drama with women.

    Yay more Strangetown! I would’ve figured you’d add Lilith in Strangetown since you added Ophelia in Pleasantview.
    Personally I have added Dustin in Strangetown once and he had a very.. dramatic and long drawn out toxic relationship with Ripp for YEARS

      Oh good point! I actually didn't think of that, but that would have been a fun parallel haha! Oh wow, that's a fun match! Don't think I've ever seen that one before. I'm sure they were very cute together desipte all of the drama 😂

    Oh wow Ani, I just love your story telling and how you map out a real story for them. I have become emboldened my your method to get rid of the sims you have no connection. I normally keep them and just stop playing them, but going forward I will start removing the boring ones. This neighborhood is shaping up so nicely. Thanks for sharing.

      Thank you, Indy 🥰 Haha yeah, it's meant to be fun after all - sometimes a sim's death is needed to make that happen lol

    You really build the best looking houses !
    I love the fact that dogs don't forget about Nero, plus the fact that his daugher has a cat. I can definitely see them have a special ability regarding animals
    You really are such a wonderful inspiration to play the Sims, I love everything about your gameplay ideas, your storytelling, the whole aesthetics of your different saves, all so different from each other! Just, thank you

    in my game, johnny and kristen actually got married - but he was already a 40 something when that finally happened. in my mind, kristen, a well acomplished doctor, wasn't just going to marry an unemployed man who still lived w his mother lmao
    it all seemed to change when he opened his own bar in town, she actually rolled a want to get married to him.
    of course now he chooses to cheat on her with dina (it's a megahood). oh weeeeelll

    Heyyy, I love her idea of making a business for Erin and her physic abilities. In my game she isn’t physic but believes she is, so she opened up her own eccentric travelling crystal store and I made it look like a groovy, (kinda witchy) wagon. She’s my fav sim to play ATM

    What a treat! I love the hood overviews and seeing how everything has progressed so far. Your play style is so inspiring it makes me want to jump onto my game. The active careers are always fun to watch and I like how the vibes of the buildings are different from the PV ones in their own ways. The military base especially just screams Strangetown to me and I love it! Im all here for a part 3 cause I want to see the schools next!

    Oh wow! How cool, I was actually sort of waiting for another update on this hood after watching the first one. That first episode was so inspiring and interesting to see where you took their storylines. And it came out shortly after I had just added Strangetown to my megahood, so I was hooked! 😁😄 Looking forward to catching up on this update. Probably in parts! 😂❤

    😅 i made it through and it was definitely worth it. i love your balance between messy/dramatic and calm/easy going households. and i was frankly amazed by the builds/renos. i don’t know how thats even possible because I really love your work but sheesh! you continue to step it up! and i love your design of bella. she is stunning. 🤩 can’t wait to see week 3.

    Loved it. I actually would love if you played strangetown on camera. Although it might be hard for you with your other series, but I just love the way you play and the way you make a town have so much lore and make it grow. For the Specter family will Faith carry on the Specter name and will she have inherited some of her father and grandfathers power or abilities? Also I think it would be a cool storyline for Ophelia to meet her cousin again. Since she lived with Olive before she went to college and before she died so I feel like that would be interesting. Anyway if you would play this on camera I would love it, but if not I understand. Love the videos as always.

    • @AniBats
      @AniBats  Před měsícem

      Aw thank you, Brent 🥰 I'll consider it - maybe I could make a special video sometime in future playing a bit. But yeah, as you say, making an entire new series out of it won't be possible because of time constraints (and also I quite enjoy the freedom of just being able to play whenever I want). But I'm glad you'd be interested in seeing something like it, so I'll see what I can cook up for you.
      Oh I definitely want Faith to get the Specter last name eventually, and also some powers. I figure it'll have to happen by her meeting grandpa Grim. She'll probably not get as many powers as Nero, since she doesn't carry as much of Grim's DNA, but for sure there needs to be something. And yes, Ophelia will definitely have to get involved somehow - now that she's living next to the old "abandoned" house where she grew up, I'm sure she'll get curious what's become of the house...

    Thank you so much for sharing this update! It was so interesting and relaxing to watch❤️ I would absolutely love a part 3! Stunning sims, stunning buildings, stunning stories👏 Love your in-depth spreadsheet too. How I handle university finances is that everyone has to contribute $200 to the household funds when they start and each term, and the rest they earn from scholarships I deposit into their bank accounts with moniques hacked computer so that they save up for when they finish!😊

      @AniBats  Před 19 dny +1

      Thank you so much, Gabby 🥰 I'm so glad and flattered that you liked it!
      Ah that's clever! The sims do tend to use some money every now and then just living, so that makes sense.

    Aniiiii what can I say about this video that hasn't already been said - ahMAZING. I forget all of the fun little thoughts I had as I watched this, but here are some of the thoughts I had:
    - I LOVE that hospital! Such a great design, and you could easily add a third floor or half of a third floor if you needed more room for something like a maternity wing or something. Super fun!
    - I LOVE how many of your sims have had failed relationships haha, especially the romance sims. I feel like this is something I still need to get better at with my own gameplay - messy sim lives, messy storylines, failed relationships. Yes. The Tea is hot in Strangetown!
    - I really love the slightly different aesthetic you have going on in this hood compared to your Pleasantview, and how unified the designs of the houses are in the different areas. I love the idea of adding the "curious towers" to the science centre too, that was a great touch! Your builds are so good!!
    - That Loner boy is absolutely adorable, you're totally correct. Ajay Loner actually has some great genes.
    - The University mods you linked and the post you referenced are great. I'm always looking for ideas to speed up University but still kind of feel like I'm enjoying it, and even just playing one semester for each "year" on normal speed does sound like a great idea. That "no time passes on college community lots" mod does sound intriguing but I'd have to see if it works with my version of community lot time, which obviously you don't use - that would be something to look into though!
    Thank you for this update :) If you decided to film any of your builds for this hood and release as speed builds, I would love that, but I also totally get wanting to keep a hood a bit more "off camera" too.
    ❤👌

    • @AniBats
      @AniBats  Před 19 dny

      Aw thank you so much 🥰 Haha yeah the tea sure is hot lol! The sims sure like to make life hard on themselves (and I do too 😈🤭) It makes me really happy and flattered that you like the way things look ❤
      Oh good point, yeah that's true I'm not sure how that mod reacts with the community lot time mod. I hope it works so you could have the option to use it too!

    This was soooo interesting to watch 😍😍😍 honestly didn’t feel like almost 3 hours 😂
    Just want to mention that besides incredible story lines I am so admiring your esthetics in the game - all the CC in appearances and interiors just inspiring 😍 I am big fan of alfa cc for my game as well but in your game it’s like been taken on whole new level ! Everything looks so extremely beautiful, just pure pleasure for the eyes !

      I also use this toddler bed by Phaenoh, but it needs to be reset sometimes which is pretty annoying: modthesims.info/d/527670/smallhouse-models-nursery-set.html

      Hi 😊 Absolutely, it's on my to-do list. I won't have time for it right now, but perhaps later on in the autumn, if I find the time

    Hi! Im new here. I loved this video! May I ask why there is no sound from the game while you play?

    • @AniBats
      @AniBats  Před 19 dny

      Hi! Welcome to the channel 🥰 There's several reasons why I've chosen to play with sound off. One is that it's what I'm used to - I've not had the game on while playing for over 10 years now lol, so it would feel weird to have it on now. Another reason is the way I edit the videos doesn't match well with having the game sound on - it would be a lot of "a lot of sound" cut to several seconds of dead quiet, cut back to "a lot of sound". Also, since I'm trying to go for a more realistic style with a lot of storytelling, I feel it would take away from that if the rather cartoony voices of the sims broke through. It would just feel messy, I think

  • @gabyfraga9294
    @gabyfraga9294 Před měsícem +5

    I've got a solution: have Tank and John together lol Imagine how crazy Buzz would go seeing his son not only be in a gay relationship but also with a half-alien. That would be something lol
    I know you randomize gender preference tough hahahaha I imagine they are straight. But it would be funny, for sure it would

      He will disown Tank for good and wish him to burn in hell. Literally.
      But, you know, it can be to violent, but many simmers would be happy if Missy Grunt have had an abortion.

    • @AniBats
      @AniBats  Před měsícem +1

      Haha that would be awesome 😂 Talk about the "enemies to lovers trope". If I didn't already have almost that exact plotline already going for Buck, I would consider forcing it, but alas. In another save maybe 🤭
