I absolutely love this! So sweet 😍
Why are you doing this? What’s it all about?
In Jones’ own words:
“It has been a rough several months for my family. My dad had a stroke (he’s made a wonderful recovery though), my mother-in-law passed away unexpectedly, we were without electric for a month, and all of this combined with my tendency to internalize everything caused something to break inside me and I spent several days at a psych hospital. With his mother passing away and me being in the hospital (we have 3 girls that I wasn’t there to take care of), my husband has missed a fair bit of work, he got no check at all a couple weeks ago. Bills have gotten behind, as well as new bills been added. $1300 for the hospital stay (after the insurance has paid their portion), $25 co-pay every week for therapy and $10 a month for meds. I worry about the continued financial strain and the affect it is having and will continue to have on my anxiety.“
The Sims community is special. Sure, there are other gaming communities with their own modding communities. But the Sims isn’t like other games and we aren’t like other communities. Recently a member of our community has been struggling, so we have come up with the Back on Track project to help her.
All content made for this project is free, but we strongly urge you to donate money to help Jones. Every little bit helps. If you can’t donate, please reblog to spread the word!
About This Download:
Ivy in the Middle with Grapes!
In keeping with the idea of a helping community, this ivy allows Sims in low spirits (red aspiration) to confide their problems. Maybe the house is a mess? Perhaps the garden is overrun with weeds? Maybe the shower needs to be fixed? Or perhaps there just isn’t enough food in the fridge to feed everyone?
Shortly after your Sim whispers a problem to the ivy, a neighbor will come by (during daylight hours) to assist. Word travels through the grapevine, you see. :)
The ivy can be found in Decorative -> Plants for $0 because you should never feel punished for asking for help when you are in need.
The ivy requires the Mansion and Garden Stuff Pack because it pulls its textures from the wall ivy that came with the pack. The grapes are a separate subset set so they will work with any recolors.
Polycounts are 220.
Please let me know if there are any issues with the object. As always, be sure to be descriptive; simply saying “it doesn’t work” doesn’t help me to help you. Also please note that the ivy will only maintain one interaction at a time. So if your Sim needs help with both gardening and cleaning (for example), you will either need two plants or wait until the ivy has pushed one of the interactions onto a neighbor.
