TigerAnne Does Questionable Things to Sims.

I'm NOT the same person as the Norwegian blogger known as Tigeranne. Or Tigeranne on Instagram, or TigerAnne on Reddit. (On Reddit I'm u/TassieTigerAnne.)

Fair bit of warning, right off the bat: I'm a horrible person, and have a rather dark sense of humor. A lot of the jokes I make revolve around people behaving and talking in ways that would never be anywhere near acceptable in real life. Because this is Sims we're talking about, it happens very often! I also, don't really, know, where to put commas all the time.

If you're looking for stories written with talent, insight and humanity, the kind that brightens your day a little and inspires you to be better, then uh... You'll find some really good stuff elsewhere! My stories make the world a little worse by existing. :( There are awful people out there who seem to like them, though. That's why I write them. I love those awful people, they're my homies!

My journal is where I come to be evil, so expect the worst at all times. I'm not kidding. It's a Danger Space.

I play a bazillion Legacy Challenges in Sims 2. (Because I'm crazy.) If you're unfamiliar with the term, it basically means that you start out with a super-poor founder, and play their family through 10 generations. In every generation there is an Heir, who's the one you choose to continue the family. You're supposed to follow a set of rules, and keep scores, etc. but I can't be hazzled to do that.

The Magpie Prettacy Uglacy is my oldest Legacy. A Prettacy is when you start with a really hideous founder, and try to make the descendents get prettier with each new generation. The Mags are a huge clan of Troll/Human hybrids who live in a mansion and are filthy rich. They used to be poor as dirt, though. Southern Mountain Trolls are recognized by their long noses and eye-stalks. Pretty is boring. Now they're an UGLACY!

Here there be Trolls!

The MacAvoy ISBI was started soon after the Magpies, and the two families have intermarried a bit. ISBI means "Im Surrounded By Idiots", and you're only allowed to control one single Sim at any time. Which one is the controllable changes once per generation. The rest of the family have to take care of their own needs, which TS2 Sims are known not to be very good at.

Watch the Macs flail about here! :D

The Starbloom Travecy is a gigantic joke. It's got a more story-driven feeling than the other two, and for once I follow the rules! It's basically a parody on all the bad stories I've ever read. Short summary of the plot: Aylatani is beautiful. She's forced to marry Phil, who's an axe-murderer, and much tragedy. The villain is a time-traveller named Edgar, who's ugly. He bribes the doctors who preform Aylatani's plastic surgery into making her ugly too. Her daughter doesn't recognize her, and thinks she's an imposter who has killed her mother. Then it gets very complicated. This tragic story of misery and woe is brought to us by The Narrator, who must remain nameless for the sake of her Grandmother's reputation.

You can read about all their suffering here.

The Edgarcy - AKA the Bogweed Prettacy, is my newest legacy. It's founded by Edgar and Aylatani (who was born with her characteristic looks in this alternate reality). As usual, it's the Narrator who tells the tale. This time, they find themselves in an almost deserted post-apocalyptic wasteland, where they have to deal with their hostile elven neighbour and lots of people who seem to know more about them than they know about themselves.

The Edgarcy can be found here.

The Scheiler Uglacy is a collaboration between sammyfrog and myself. In a much happier life, Liranda Starbloom married Ian Scheiler, and this is the story of their descendants. Narrated by MK'la and Narrator, it has a positive message of love, acceptance and organic farming.

I should probably point out that I made the *ugly* Sims in this challenge to poke fun of certain aesthetic trends I've seen on Simblr (Sims-themed Tumblr), and NOT to mock any real human beings.

The Index can be found here.

The Asylum Challenge, which I keep forgetting that I'm playing, is the origin of characters like Petunia, Esso the Assassin, Monrad, Ethan and Aniya. Edit: This challenge is finished! :)

Most cheaty Asylum ever.

The Athertons was my first challenge. It was an aging-off "ISBI", with a teen in charge for extra problems. If you're new, and want to read my entire blog chronologically, this is where it started.

The Athertons are kind of dumb.

I can never guarantee that you will not want to strangle me after reading any given entry. You must read at your own risk.

Yo my peeps my peeps, this is your Narrator typing! I hope you're not mad about more TS4 and Brianna. But before we get there, we have a word from our sponsor:

Yes, hi. This is TigerAnne. If you're a Starbloom fan, and let's be honest, that's probably the only reason you're reading this in the first place, you're probably wondering where they are. I'm playing them right now, actually. :) The next chapter includes a move to the "Medieval Age," and I had to build two new lots. I was so out of practice that I barely had any idea what I wanted to do, building wasn't fun, and I didn't want to play on an empty lot because that doesn't make good pictures. That is why it's been taking some time. I've been procrastinating and playing the low-effort Brianna. However, both lots are starting to look slightly inhabited. I've been playing the family and have a few pictures already, but this next chapter needs a prologue that I don't yet have the set for.

The hospital arc didn't get finished properly, because the lot I was playing it on became hopelessly corrupted. I was using a personal edit of a TheRaven lot, which I don't have a clean copy of. Instead of remaking that lot again, I'm going to build an entirely new hospital and just come up with some in-story explaination for why it's a different building. I'm kind of excited about building this lot, because it's based on a real one that always intrigued me with it's ivy-covered, somber elegance.

So with that said, I - the Narrator - can get to business!

Welcome back, my peepz! This is your Narraelynn narrating to you all!

Brianna has managed to establish a very normal life for herself in Oasis Springs. She's started an animal shelter to take care of all the stray cats and dogs that have nowhere else to go. Her career as a chef is also going really well. Last time she lost one of the few friends she had in her new hometown, though. Her housemate Maegan has been going through the funks, and is addicted to self-punishment. :( It's time to get a furry friend!

WARNING: Contains gnarly descriptions of being munched alive by a vending machine. This is fiction and doesn't happen in reality. That I know of.

Hi Peeps, it's Raelynn! It's been a hot minute again. The good news is that I've been playing The Starblooms, and it looks like it was just their lot that was decrepitated, not the family or the whole hood! The bad news is that The Scheilers - specifically Friday's household - are flashing magenta no matter what I do. It's not the usual texture memory suspects, it's something with THEM. :C How do I know? Because I've moved them to an empty lot to debug them, and it's all pink soup! Meanwhile, the Starblooms' new lot is already full of excessive detail and works fine.

Also, I've been playing Sims 4 a lot. Don't worry, I've not abandoned Sims 2 and I won't! It's still Best Sims! I've just been trying out TS4, since it's apparently turning into Sims 4ever, and the devs are fixing and adding stuff to it, etc. Then there was a pretty good sale, and I may have gotten myself some EPs for Christmas. So yeah....

Do you remember Zarinda's daughter, Brianna? She's tired of being so darn forgettable, and has decided to go to desperate lengths to change that. Is Brianna fit to be the main protagonist of a story, extremely generic as she is? Can anyone write an interesting story with Brianna in it?! AM I THAT PERSON??! This story is set after Generation 10 of the Starbloom Tragecy, so there will be parts of Brianna's past we don't know about yet. We'll discover, as the Starbloom Legacy progresses, what they've all been up to before the events of this new story. Also, I chose to go with a Maxis Match aesthetic, but there will be default replacements and CC, eventually!

After you've eaten too much pizza, you can get weird dreams. Or so the legend goes. Maybe you even get nightmares about pizza! This lovely creation was a collab between sammyfrog and myself. We won't be collaborating in an actual kitchen any time soon, we think.

Can you tell I hate drawing houses?

Nothing spooky, just an x-ray of two peeps dancing.

But Anne, this is horrible! You've lost art skills since yesterday!

Eh, yeah. The original version of this painting got way too ambitious to finish in one day at my current skill level. I'll post the real thing later, probably sometime next week.
