Excessive Force : Tom Ludlow x Fem Nurse Reader (COLLAB W/ THE INCREDIBLE @johnwickb1tsch) - Chapter One Two

TW : Abuse of authority, alpha male, sexual harassment, the word “no” is not in this man’s vocabulary, nsfw, angst, forced proximity

After a hellish 24 hour shift, you’re starting to think you should have taken him up on his offer. Give me a foot rub then get the fuck out. However, it most definitely would not have ended at only a foot rub. You know yourself too well to think you can keep your grubby hands off that man in any sort of private, intimate setting. Yeah, you’re staying the hell away from Ludlow.

It’s gross, but you don’t even take a shower, and pass out cold on the couch as soon as your rat's nest of hair hits the throw pillow.

Dark, honey eyes welcome you to the land of unconsciousness. The place where you can’t control your disobedient vagina so easily. And, apparently, she liked Tom Ludlow a lot. Especially his hands. Fuck. Thick fingers, surprisingly gentle and teasing, tucking up inside you, coaxing at that sweet little spot you can’t quite get at on your own. His mouth swallowing your moans, tongue licking urgently against your teeth, practically eating you alive. Something hard and velvet pressed against your thighs.

A loud knock wakes you up in the same position you started at. Face down on the couch, except now feeling even grosser because of the slick arousal between your legs. You stumble to the door, pull it open. It’s Ms. Higgs, your sweet next door neighbor.

“Oh, hello, y/n, I heard…. Yelling? Is everything okay?”

You look at her stupidly. “Yelling….?”

“Yes, it sounded like you were in distress. Sorry, is this a bad time?” She eyes your just-got-hit-by-a-semi-truck appearance, complete with gore and all.

Oh. The dream. Oh… oh. You feel yourself freeze despite the embarrassed heat warming your skin. “Uh.” Yes, great, make her think you’re out of your mind. You try a terse smile. “Oh. Sorry. I had a long shift and I must have been having a nightmare.”

How in the hell did you pass nursing school?

Thank God she looks like she wants to leave as soon as possible. “Right. Well.” Clears her throat. “I’m glad you’re okay. Have a good day.” She moves fast for an older woman, shutting herself back into the apartment next door before you can bid goodbye.

Your neighbor now hates you, and you’re definitely blaming Ludlow for it.

Shower, eat, masturbate. No, wait. Masturbate, then eat. No. Eat first so then you can masturbate as many times as it takes to get Mr. I’m a Pretty, Dark Eyed Cop With Huge Hands -

You have to literally pinch yourself to stop this train of thought from turning into a derailed crash.

Your plans fail miserably, and that is actually Ludlow’s fault, but you refuse to admit it. At least you’re eliminating two steps at once with the handy dandy shower head.

And then again after you eat. And then again in your bed. And, damn, you really need to invest in a vibrator like Sheila told you to do a long time ago.

You don’t consider yourself a prude by any means; there’s just no time for adult toys or one night stands. Your job, more often than not, consumes your life, and you like it that way. The fast pace, the interesting medical anomalies you get to see, your funny coworkers, cute and oh so nice Dr. Julian who brings you all Starbucks on Sundays. You usually pick up more shifts than you’re scheduled, fueled by rising violent crime rates in the inner cities. There is a satisfaction in bringing someone back from the dead, especially someone young with their whole life ahead of them. Grim Reaper? Psh. Kiss my ass.

***

Sometimes you need a break, and these next two days you have off are going to be that time away.

Except, on the second day, you’re bored, so you end up going in for an eight hour shift.

You have a bad habit of not viewing your patient’s info before you get into their exam room, favoring the ol’ fashioned method of actually looking at the person instead of a computer. As soon as you walk into your next assigned room, however, you vow to change your messy bitch ways. Handsome Cop - the one you refuse to admit you spent two full days rubbing yourself off to - sits on the cot, grinning at you like the cat that caught the mouse.

You do feel a little bit like a tiny mouse under that hefty stare, scurrying in and going right to the computer so you don’t have to make eye contact longer than necessary - well, long enough for ruined underwear.

“Hey.”

“Hello, did your stitches come open?” You try to maintain a strictly professional voice, but you can tell by the sharpening of his grin it’s not working.

“What? You’re not gonna fight with me today?”

“Do nurses fight people where you’re from?” Here you are, playing into his game. Stupid.

“There she is.”

Your jaw tightens. “What are you being seen for, Mr. Ludlow?”

“Ouch, surnames? Really?”

“Surprised you know what that big word means.”

His gorgeous eyebrow cocks as he looks around the monitor at you, and you tuck yourself further behind the computer to hide.

“Okay, okay.” He puts his hands up in surrender. Well, he puts his right hand up. His left can only rise so far into the air. “Yeah, I tore them.”

“Can you show me?”

He strips his shirt, revealing a long, toned torso that belongs in X-rated cinema instead of bed number 3 at the South Bay General ED.

“Have you ever heard the phrase, close your mouth or you’ll catch flies?” He asks.

“It’s actually, shut your mouth or you’ll catch flies.”

“Okay, how about this one: My eyes are up here, darling.”

First of all, you didn’t even look at his bare chest that much. He’s definitely exaggerating. Second of all, well - ugh - second of all fuck you, Ludlow.

His stitches are busted open right in the middle. You have to unstick the bloody dressing carefully and then spray the center with some antiseptic.

“You should be more careful.” Is it just you or does he smell different tonight? Less sweat and copper, more spice and cardamon.

You do your best to shake it off. Plenty of men wear cologne everyday–it doesn’t mean he got cleaned up just for you.

“I don’t really have anyone to be careful for.”

“Get a dog?”

“What’s your favorite color?”

“What why? I don’t know, blue?”

“So I can pick out a collar you’ll like.”

He’s joking, but the feral urge to jam your thumb right into his tearing wound is palpable.

He realizes he fucked up when you don’t have a witty retort.

“Oh, fuck. I didn’t mean that you’re a bitch.” If you’re giving him credit, he at least looks sorry. And sorry looks far too good on him. The big grinning Doberman turns into a wide eyed puppy dog and it makes your heart squeeze tighter. “I’m sorry. I just meant - hey, hey.” He tips your chin up so you can see the apology in his softened eyes. “I’m an asshole.”

You flick his hand away. “Don’t touch me.”

He must be hard of hearing, because he dwarfs your arm in his grip and pulls you closer. “C’Mon, little nurse. Now you have to let me make it up to you. Let me buy you a fancy dinner or something.”

Pulling away is not an option, so you come up with a better idea. “Okay, fine. I will. If you can answer one question.”

He looks delighted by this. “Try me.”

“What’s my name?”

You relish the sight of his smile wiping clean. The big grin transfers from his face to yours.

“Seriously?”

“Well?” It’s your turn to raise a cocky eyebrow.

He tries to flip your badge frontward, but you slap his hand away. He’s quick, catches your wrist, pulls you closer so that your body is pressing into his calves, traps both of your hands in one of his and spins the badge so that he can see your picture and name. He repeats it, first and last, grins back with a vengeance. This little tussle really bruises your ego, because it doesn’t even seem like you made him wince or falter even once.

“Cheater,” you snarl.

“Takes one to know one.”

“Let me go.”

“Make me.”

“I’ll scream.”

“Oh yeah you will.” He winks.

Fucking sexy bastard.

“Want those stitches worse or better?” You threaten.

“I don’t really care,” he shrugs, eyes light with humor. “Just did it to come see you anyway.”

“You tore your own stitches?”

“No. Someone else did after I insulted their mother.”

“You’re an idiot.”

“Thanks, sweetheart.”

You put him back together once again (you might have to start calling this man Humpty Dumpty, that will put him in his place) and start to peel off your gloves. “So when can I pick you up?” he asks, those dark eyes shining like high-polished ebony.

“Half past never?”

“Hey, we had a deal.”

“We did, but then you cheated. Manhandling me at work is a major disqualification.”

“Pretty sure you liked it,” he fires back with a smirk.

You sigh, propping a hand on your hip, because he’s not wrong. You’re more than a little touch starved at the moment, and you’re sure the ease with which he manhandled you will haunt your dreams (your poor neighbor!) and fuel your fantasies for weeks to come. But there’s just something about this guy that warns you not to give in this easily. He feels…a little dangerous. To your physical health, or your personal sanity, you’re not sure.

“Please try to be more careful with your stitches, Mr. Ludlow. Have a nice day.”

Understanding that he’s being dismissed, he stands, one step in the small room bringing him right in front of you–and boy, does he tower over you. You try to conceal how very much you like that, but fear you betray yourself in the shaky exhale that escapes you. “I’m just going to keep coming back,” he tells you, seeming far too pleased by the idea.

“For your own health, I certainly hope you don’t.”

“I’m in a dangerous line of work. All sorts of things can happen.”

You pick up what he’s putting down pretty quick, and it annoys the shit out of you. “If you get yourself hurt on purpose, that is not on me.”

“Then save me some pain, sweetheart. Didn’t you take an oath or something? Do no harm?”

“That’s doctors. I took a pledge to practice my profession faithfully–which I’m doing. Didn’t you? What happened to ‘Serve and Protect?’”

“Sure thing. And I keep my oaths too.” The weight with which he looks at you makes something warm and uncomfortable coil in your belly, radiating outwards to your fingers and toes.

A man who keeps his promises?

Never heard of him.

You are too young to be this jaded, but maybe it’s better that you learned the hard lessons quicker than most. Maybe it will save you some pain in the interim. Avoiding this utterly edible man in front of you probably falls into that category.

You stand silently, waiting for him to leave. He seems to find this funny as hell, and tips an imaginary cap down at you. “See you soon, y/n.”

You hope not, but you’re afraid that’s a promise he’ll keep.

Hello, I was wondering if it would be okay to write a drabble based on your theory about Solomon and Barbatos? I just found it very fascinating!

Of course, lovely anon!

As I already touched on, I believe it is possible that Solomon met Barbatos (and Thirteen) around the time when the Bubonic Plague occurred. From what I could find, the plague reached Europe beginning in the year 1346-1347.

If Solomon was just a child back then, as stated by Thirteen, I imagine he suffered tremendously. Not only would Solomon have witnessed friends, neighbors, and strangers dying in record numbers.... But most likely family members too. Widespread panic and mass hysteria would have been commonplace, understandably so (especially since, from my understanding, the very first vaccine in history wasn't created until 1796 not for the plague, but for smallpox). And as a child... I could only imagine the fear, confusion, and uncertainty that would have been thrust upon Solomon from witnessing and living through all of that.

Death would have been all around him, and I'll even go as far as suggesting that maybe Solomon himself even got sick too.

Which leads me to the star topic here :

The pact between Solomon and Barbatos.

Now... My theories may be a bit biased since I used to be a massive Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji enthusiast and fangirl (not the cringey kind, I promise lol). So please keep that in mind going forward.

But my first theory : Perhaps Barbatos was in the human world for whatever reason and stumbled across Solomon. Since Barbatos can see into the future, he could have foreseen that Solomon's continued existence would benefit not only the human world, but the Devildom as well. In that case, it would make sense for Barbatos to form a pact with Solomon, take him to the Fountain of Knowledge, aid him in his recovery, and then urge/allow Solomon to become the sorcerer he is today.

Another theory (this one will be split into two parts) : Since Thirteen said that Solomon was just a child when they first met, this theory is unlikely... but it's still worth considering. Solomon's soul was particularly appealing to Thirteen when they first met. Well, what other being is attracted to human souls? Demons.

What if Solomon had gotten sick and unintentionally summoned Barbatos? I know summoning demons and making pacts is different in Obey Me! compared to Black Butler... but imagine if it was as simple as Solomon crying out for help, pleading for someone, anyone, to save him. If my theory is correct and he had witnessed his loved ones suffer with the Bubonic Plague until ultimately succumbing to their illness and passing away... I imagine anyone would be desperate to avoid that same outcome. So it could have been a combination of Solomon's desperation, innocence, pure "shiny" soul, and fate that helped summon Barbatos to him.

(I do think these two theories are the most likely, especially considering Thirteen said that Solomon looked like he was on the verge of death when Barbatos brought him to the Reaper's Cave.)

On the other hand, what if it wasn't Solomon who had gotten sick but an extremely close loved one instead? Magic and sorcery was practiced back during the Middle Ages, so I'd assume that Solomon would have at least been exposed to it at some capacity as a kid (like how we all learned about different things growing up via gossip, rumors, media exposure, etc.)

If that was the case, perhaps Solomon tried summoning a demon with the intention of saving his loved one. If so, one of two things happened :

1. Barbatos helped Solomon's loved one and in exchange required Solomon to accompany him back to the Devildom (which is extremely unlikely) or

2. Barbatos told Solomon that he was unable unwilling to help his loved one, but offered Solomon the chance to go someplace safe, far away from the disease that was ravaging the human world at that time... and Solomon agreed (I think in that situation, Solomon would only agree if his loved one passed away and he literally had no one left, or if his loved one strongly urged him to follow Barbatos... almost like their last dying wish. And in this scenario, I'll reiterate my belief that Barbatos would have presented Solomon with this offer because he probably foresaw the potential Solomon had to positively impact all three worlds).

Again, these are just my own personal theories and ideas that I haven't been able to stop thinking about since last night. But until we get more info from the devs, everything will remain shrouded in mystery lol

Anyway, thank you so much for the ask, anon! I really enjoyed getting all of this out, so if you have any more questions or any feedback/thoughts... Please don't hesitate to reach out (:

“Why am I here?” Neil asked.

“Kevin wants you to play,” Andrew said, not opening his eyes. “I told him you wouldn’t.”

Neil couldn’t. He wanted to, he wanted to get a racket and play, especially if he had the chance to with Kevin Day, but he couldn’t. This wasn’t his thing to want, this wasn’t his sport, this was…

This was…

Neil got up and ran out of the stadium. He didn’t think Andrew was surprised he did.

Hey I LOVED ur neighbor!Toji hcs and I was wondering if you could do a part two where he starts visiting reaper and they start to have feelings for one another because 😩 I’m telling you I love this man’s mommy milkers so much but I also love soft!Toji sm 🥹🥹

Hello!

Thank you so much, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! Also, I am very much in the same boat haha, his muscles (and yes the mommy milkers) make me weak but soft!Toji makes me weaker 😩

I will definitely consider it! The neighbor!Toji was intended to be a little more sadistic to be honest, but one of my favorite tropes is a mean character being soft for the reader and ONLY the reader. So having him develop feelings would be a fun twist! Ooh now I'm going to be thinking about boyfriend!Toji and how protective he would get 🥺

I'm in the middle of writing a fic for a different fandom so it might be a bit, but I do love this idea a lot, and someone else expressed interest in a part 2 as well. So I'll see what ideas I can gather up!

#the toji brainrot is real ugh i love him so much #im so glad everyone likes my drabble it means so much to me #tarren asks #so i can bookmark for later #referencex

okay, update on my sims legacy challenge

-shirley's childhood : the dad is dead, but things are pretty okay. simone still visit them as a ghost since i put his urn in a special graveyard at the house. she also, kinda has another dad later on. yeah, alondra's remarried, not the ghost of l. faba or even morgyn. but her new neighbor, tanaka

-it happened during a power conservation day. shirley was busy doing her homework while alondra made potions and dranked the good luck one. she had a visit by one of her neighbors called tanaka and he gave her a death flower. i was busy with shirley for ONE second, and when i get back they were already all over each other. gotta say it was pretty hardcore how he pulls over my admittedly hardcore witch founder by the grim reaper plant. i approve, sir.

-and then, since alondra was begging for one, i gave her a vacation with shirley in tow. unfortunately it was also new years', and shirley's birthday. ohh that was awful. and the worst thing is that, since things are going well, i havent felt the need to use the needs potion. my sim passed out on a bench several times just to make that holiday happen. alondra doesnt even know shirley's friends, she just put the party in a park and invited santa claus in hopes that shirley's too excited on meeting new kids and making a wish to santa to even notice that none of her friends are there. it worked.

-after the bday party, there was also the countdown. since shirley's a teen now, they both spent it at a bar. and alondra becomes a wreck. i got the notif that she was going to die soon. and she has been having sad moods in the background since her friends have been dying. but now she's mostly uncomfortable since as an elder she cant keep up with three events at once without potions. meanwhile she only needs to get more xp so she could have the virtuoso wizard rank to finish her magic aspiration. i literally dont know what else to do. she'd done dueling, experiment, everything! so, i realized, alondra never really unleashed a spell to strangers. its always items or other wizards and occasionally her daughter so she's not filled with grime and dirt. so in that entire night, while shirley talked with the locals, alondra let go all of her restraints and reputation as the good witch and cast infernio on everyone and everything. she almost hit her girl.

-after the holiday, her mood doesnt improve. Im now focused at shirley since she's the only heir so maybe thats why. she'd gotten everything she wanted but alondra is just, sad. she stopped cleaning the house, she's crying all the time and she's not even using potions. sometimes if the ghost of her lovers came she'd kiss them and feel a little better. but alondra is just a barely functioning sim now.

-anyway, about the love interest situation. its more amicable than i thought. somehow all of them still wanted to woohoo and accept flirting dialogues even if alondra had personally dumped and toyed with all three. tanaka, faba, and simeon practicallty take turns seducing alondra

-different than the mom, shirley's fate in romance is... difficult. she had a crush with a girl who likes to use the gym as well, and she has a friend who is oh so sad all the time. her crush is fucking mean. of all people, whyd she has a crush to the only person in school with a red relationship bar with her? my goodness! that girl was a huge asshole. she literally fight someone in the halls. babygirl you have the worst taste in women. your friend danielle is there!

-but danielle is like, sad all the time. every single day i use the "console about death" or "try to cheer up" on her and it doesnt seem to do anything. the fact that their teacher died on second day (IN FRONT OF THE CLASS) doesnt make it any easier. you cant have whirlwind teenage romcom if everyone is highly aware of their loved ones' mortality! (hello covid era graduates)

-so, her options for prom is limited. everyone rejects her advances, and while danielle agreed theyre both gonna go out with the other kids as friends, danielle still create her promposal signs. fearing that shirley's gonna be ditched, she made her own and do the lame and desperate option.

-but in the end. no one gets any bitches so they all attend prom as a good party between friends. shirley sweetheart danced with danielle at first but end up sweetheart dancing with this guy who is the cheer team captain. she doesnt hang out with her crush. she has her mom's tendency of intense partying. before this prom, she went to a college party, and with a miniscule amount of sleep she go through with pre-party, party, and afterparty. and then later in the day she had to do her birthday as well. she didnt even use plentiful needs potion

-so after thats done, lets go back to alondra. her heir is ready now. and even if she's gone, she can visit her in ghost form and her new fiancee is kinda like shirley's second dad. im planning her to do a hiking trail with him btw. and she's so miserably sad all the time. maybe its time to let go. so, thats what she did. at first, she prepped the house, cleaning it and fixing some ignored objects, doing the laundry and everything. and she went to the magic realm to buy wands and look for appropriate tomes for shirley to read later. then she cooks. food for shirley and potions for her AND shirley.

-this is where it gets fun. alondra, being the player that she is, wants to die in the bliss off woohoo, to finally die happy after months of sadness. so she dranked all of her good potions, get married, then invite her new husband in. no, i didnt bring her spouse into the household. It was meant to be a casual wedding where alondra just say her vows and spend the time joyfully eating and drinking, but the most miserable wedding ever. the only one who came other than her family is l faba's ghost. they dont even have cake. they end up cutting the event early after the essentials are done. and then when theyre home, tanaka doesnt even want to woohoo with her. simeon is too sad to woohoo even though he still has high romance bar with alondra. you are the most patient man ever.

-luckily, there's faba! and l. faba is the only one of her love interests who is willing to assist on her suicide by woohoo mission. they fucked. on the showers, on the bed, everywhere possible. and then right in the middle of woohooing, shirley got caught on fire. i really thought she was going to die right there on her mother's suicidal bender. she survived, luckily. and then alondra and l. faba get back on woohooing while shirley took a shower and replaced the burned furnitures. after a few consecutive successful woohoo (god this girl is fit!) alondra finally dies. god bless, my dearest founder. you were loved.

-on a side note, alondra's relationship with l. faba is wildly interesting. the first wizard she knows and the last she'll ever meet. alondra's married twice to other men but it was this woman who attend her wedding twice that spend the most time with her and finally carried alondra to her final resting place. but of course, she will be buried on the grave besides her first husband. not faba's.

IT’S OFFICIAL: Story Progression Coming to The Sims 4 on November 30th

The Sims team has officially announced that Story Progression is coming to The Sims 4! It is expected they will go into more detail during today’s Inside Maxis stream, but check out the official community blog below for the first details!

Hello, Simmers! I’m Nate, a designer for The Sims 4.

I joined the team during development of Island Living and have worked on several releases since then. Some accomplishments I’m proud of are: Professor Sims in Discover University (SimGuruMorgan and I made those happen together), the Onsen venue in Snowy Escape (it was surprisingly hard to prevent Servos from merrily wading to their doom in the hot spring), and the cows and llamas in Cottage Living!

Today, I want to give you all a behind-the-scenes look into the latest thing I’ve been a part of: Neighborhood Stories, which arrives on November, 30, 2021!

The Sims 4 has so much that your Sims can see and do, leading to interesting, and often unexpected, life moments. All these life moments add up to something very important: life change at an individual level. My team and I have been exploring ways to carry that same kind of life change to the whole world of The Sims 4 through Neighborhood Stories.

Neighborhood Stories are a set of gameplay moments that all revolve around a single purpose: bring more life to Neighbor Sims that live outside the active household. (“Neighbor Sims” refers to most of the non-player character (NPC) Sims in the game, not just ones who live on the same street as your household. Neighbor Sims excludes special NPCs such as Grim Reaper.)

There’s a lot we want to do to add more life to Neighbor Sims, so we’re rolling it out over more than one release.

This first release focuses on Sims connected to your household: coworkers they’ve gotten to know, friends they’ve met at the Gym or Library… maybe that one Sim who welcomed them to the neighborhood with fruitcake, which seems like a bold move, but to each their own, I guess.

In the same way that your Sims change as they move through life, these Neighbor Sims are getting some new life changes of their own such as choosing a new career or having a baby.

Future updates will build on this with more life changes for a wider range of Sims. Find additional info in the “What’s Next?” section near the end of this post, but for now let’s get a closer look at what’s in this release.

Neighborhood Stories begins with gameplay divided between life changes that your Sims can influence Neighbor Sims to consider, things Neighbor Sims autonomously consider, and some that fall into both categories.

Whether they consider a life change autonomously or under influence from your Sims, Neighbor Sims ultimately decide to initiate life changes themselves. That means these changes happen without any need to switch to another household.

“What if I don’t want Sims to autonomously change?” — That’s okay! Everyone has a unique vision for their Sims, and some of you have poured lots of time and love into multi-household/multi-generation saves! All along, we’ve worked with the explicit goal: you choose how Neighborhood Stories affect your game. The two ways this happens are:

You direct one of your Sims to influence a Neighbor Sim to consider a life change, or…

…a Neighbor Sim autonomously considering a life change will always call one of your Sims to ask for input before taking any action. You choose the outcome by directing your Sim to say “Yes,” “No,” or leaving it up to the Neighbor Sim to decide.

Our intent is to empower you to decide if a life change makes sense in the story your Sims are living out, or to leave that decision up to the Neighbor Sim altogether.

Remember, these life changes actually happen, so they won’t occur instantly. Neighbor Sims will keep your Sim posted with updates.

Here’s the full list of life changes:

Autonomous or Active Sim Influenced Life Changes

Neighbor Sims may consider these life changes independently, or your Sims can try to convince them to:

Change their current Career to a different one.

Have a baby with their partner, if they are in a relationship where either Sim can become pregnant.

Hang out with other Sims to form or deepen Friendly relationships

Autonomous-only Life Changes

Neighbor Sims can only undergo these life changes independently, but they’ll check with a Sim in the active household beforehand. They just need a little confidence boost! (Or to be let down easily. Don’t worry, they’ll understand!)

Try to get promoted in their current Career.

Accept a marriage proposal, if they are already Engaged to another Sim. Neighbor Sims will not autonomously get married for now.

Active Sim Influenced Life Changes

Your Sims can do these things to cause life changes for Neighbor Sims:

Trash talk one Sim to another, which will greatly reduce the relationship between those two Neighbor Sims.

Try to get two grown-up Sims, or two Teen Sims, to form a Romantic relationship.

Try to convince a Sim in a relationship to dump/divorce their Romantic partner

Encourage an unemployed Neighbor Sim to find a job

New Aspirations

To celebrate these new and improved gameplay moments, we’re adding two new Aspirations:

Neighborhood Confidante is for Sims who aspire to be a helpful and positive presence in the lives of Neighbor Sims. Making friends and guiding others toward life changes will earn the new Confidante trait, which increases the chance of conversations being pleasant. Ever had a conversation turn Boring or Awkward in the middle of a party? Confidante Sims are less susceptible to these mood killers.

Villainous Valentine is for Sims who aspire to destroy the love lives of all Sims, including their own. Have your Sim break up with someone! Have them break up other couples! Sims that walk this deviant path will earn the new Twisted Heart trait, which makes all Sad and Embarrassed moodlets decay faster and provides a little bonus Social when performing Mean or Mischief socials. Twisted Heart Sims simply DGAFB, which as we all know, stands for “Don’t Give A Freezer Bunny”.

All this new and improved gameplay is available to everyone as part of the base game. It doesn’t require any additional content to fully experience. Everything here also works with existing saves, no new game required.

Neighborhood Stories will be part of the base game update arriving November 30, 2021. Keep an eye out here for more details on that update. Once you have that, your Sims need to form at least one friendship outside the household.

For autonomous life changes, Neighbor Sims consider them depending on factors like Traits, meaning not all Sims will consider every life change. You’ll need to wait for Neighbor Sims to consider a change, but having Sims with more friends at higher relationship levels will increase the chances for life changes to happen. We’ve really tried to balance Neighbor Sim life changes happening at an interesting pace, without being too spammy or repetitive.

For life changes that your Sims can try to influence, here’s a breakdown:

To have your Sim influence positive change in Neighbor Sim’s lives, look for these new and updated Friendly socials. (Very useful to Sims with the new Neighborhood Confidante Aspiration.)

Ask <Sim Name> to Pursue Dream Job

Discuss Expanding the Family

Other Sims… > Talk Up Another Sim

Other Sims… > Hook Up With

To have your Sim try to harm Neighbor Sim’s relationships, look for these updated Mean socials. (Very useful to Sims with the new Villainous Valentine Aspiration.)

Other Sims… > Trash Another Sim

Other Sims… > Break Up With

Let’s talk about the future of Neighborhood Stories by returning to the main goal: bring more life to Neighbor Sims that live outside the active household. In a future update, we will realize that goal more broadly with the following:

Life changes for all Neighbor Sims, with or without relationships in the active household. Just because my Sims don’t know anyone in a particular other household doesn’t mean that household isn’t also changing.

Gameplay settings to tune life changes Neighbor Sims can and cannot have.

Controls are layered, allowing a mix and match of rules down to individual households.

Neighborhood Stories settings are on a per-save basis.

Those familiar with The Sims 3 are probably reminded of Story Progression. Both Story Progression and Neighborhood Stories allow Sims all over the game to experience life changes. However, I want to highlight two key differences:

Story Progression is one giant system that can only be turned on or off, leaving many players feeling like they must choose between a chaotic world and a boring one. Neighborhood Stories adds the rich gameplay settings I mentioned above, alleviating this issue while solving for the goal: you choose how Neighborhood Stories affects your game.

Story Progression can affect a wide range of factors in The Sims 3. At the start, Neighborhood Stories will have a much smaller range of life changes. This is because most of the work we’re doing now is on the underlying systems that drive these life changes, plus the gameplay settings we just talked about. That means better tools to create better gameplay, but first we have to do the work!

Whew, that was a lot! I hope this provided a good look at Neighborhood Stories now, and that you are just as excited as I am for what’s to come!

Until next time,

Nate

P.S. – Some of this gameplay leverages content that previously was specific to packs. We’ve chosen to do this in cases where the gameplay is a great fit for Neighborhood Stories and we saw opportunities to deepen and improve it for the game overall. Here’s the full list:

Have a baby with their partner

The autonomous version of this life change originates from Eco Lifestyle. We have added support for Sentiments and the Sim-influenced version is all new.

Accept a marriage proposal

Originates from Eco Lifestyle. Added support for Sentiments.

Form or deepen Friendly relationships

Originates from Get Together. Added more dynamic outcomes: if your Sim encourages a friend to hang out with someone they already despise, they won’t like that! On the other hand, if they form a new friendship, then they may also gain positive Sentiments toward your Sim.

Trash talk one Sim to another

Originates from Get Together. Added more dynamic outcomes: Sims will not take kindly to trash talk about their friends. Added special moodlets for Mean or Evil Sims.

Try to get two Sims to form a Romantic relationship

Originates from Get Together. Added more dynamic outcomes: Neighbor Sims won’t pair up with Sims whose traits conflict, such as Good / Evil, and the active Sim has clearer responses to all possible outcomes.

Try to convince a Sim in a relationship to dump/divorce their Romantic partner

Originates from Get Together. Added more dynamic outcomes: Relationship strength between Sims matters and a failed attempt to break up a relationship might backfire with a negative Sentiment from one or both partners!

Thanks for reading!

taglist: @itsapapisongo @minglebells @irehlevant @blueprint-han @doievoir @bvlnoriyas @wooyeosang

In the bustling city, people had places to be. Mothers raced down a cement sidewalk with their children in hand, coats whipping in the wind on a day where it wasn’t even supposed to be windy - the weatherman had said so. And if the wind wasn’t enough, it was also drizzling. It wasn’t pouring, but it was enough for curly-haired people to silently curse their luck as they ran through the streets, hoping their anti-frizz products would be enough against the humidity. A man’s umbrella turned inside out at the same time the packet of papers in his hands capsized and landed in a puddle next to a lamppost. He swore, bent down, and tried to salvage what he could of his important documents.

He paid no attention to the multitude of flyers and advertisements that were taped, glued, or otherwise cemented onto the post by some means, and perhaps he should have. Most of it was junk - a flier for a ballet performance that had taken place seven and a half months ago, an advertisement for a used car dealership that had one-star reviews on Yelp, and a promotion for tutoring services that had no more slips to tear off for the phone number. Unlike the man’s papers, most of the signs were laminated or made of water-proof material. Stickers filled in the gaps in-between the flyers, ranging from boy bands to political candidates to memes. Right next to a grim reaper sticker with “Slay the Day” in blood-red lettering over top of the reaper was a wanted poster.

It stood out against the rest of the flyers because of its color and size, tan and bigger than most of the rest. It was noticeably a higher quality than the other flyers, hardly moved against the wind, and paid no attention to the rain. But what stood out the most was the photo of the man on the poster - or rather, his shadow. Wanted alive, only the shadow’s lips and nose were visible, his eyes obscured by a long-brimmed black hat. His sparse facial features on the photo were the only known aspect of him, no one had a name for him. Though, because of his mysterious infamy, around the town he was known as the Smooth Criminal.

It was a face Akire had seen many times on identical signs hung up around town. She had never thought much of it - a face that was as obscured as his wasn’t much help at all - but that perspective had changed within the last few hours. His attacks - ransacking apartments and stealing belongings - had darted around the city, making it nearly impossible for police to even begin to think about what his next move was. But last night, it had so happened that the Smooth Criminal had chosen the girl across the hall from her as the next victim.

Akire had hoped to get work done today at her desk, but that wasn’t going to happen when police were muttering and talking right outside her door. Curiosity scratched at her, so she stood outside her door with her work discarded, leaning on the wall, and wondered what possibly could have led their local criminal to her apartment complex. She stared at the “Do Not Enter” tape attached on either side of her neighbor’s doorway and the police that were chatting inside. She strained her ear to hear them, but it was like trying to find coherent noise amidst radio static.

“I can’t believe he was here,” Hyunjin said next to her. Hyunjin, another one of Akire’s neighbors, gave her a warm grin when she looked over in his direction at his voice. He had long and dark hair that contrasted the light in his eyes, which was bright and shining. That light always seemed to shine a little brighter when he was around Akire.

He folded his arms across his chest before adjusting the neck collar of his sweater. “I mean, you just never think that something like this would happen so close to you. It’s a story on the news until it’s a part of your life.”

Akire nodded, looking back to her neighbor’s apartment. Finally, a police officer had moved out of her vision and she could see the damage done to her neighbor’s apartment. From pillows and blankets anywhere except the bed and her skincare and makeup shattered on the carpet, the Smooth Criminal had certainly done a job to her room. “Where’s Annie?”

“Still at the police station, I presume,” Hyunjin said, twiddling his thumbs. “She seemed okay, just shaken up.”

“We should see how she is,” Akire mused. “It must have been terrifying. I can’t imagine going through something like this.” Her eyes narrowed as she thought a little bit more. The night before, Akire had been drawing and she was a light sleeper. “And we- I didn’t hear a thing last night. He was completely silent.”

“Then I guess he’s smooth for a reason,” Hyunjin said, and if it wasn’t for the situation, Akire would have laughed. She wanted to know more, but even more so, she wanted to talk to Annie. Not to find out more about the criminal, but to hear how she was. They didn’t speak too often, but Annie was sweet, and no one deserved to have their apartment torn apart.

And luck seemed to be on Akire’s side today - the elevator dinged and Annie appeared on the other side of the opening doors. Her eyes, usually bright, were devoid of the light they normally had. Akire pushed off of the wall that she was leaning on immediately and walked toward her, Hyunjin not far behind.

“Annie,” Akire said, reaching her within seconds. “Are you okay?”

Annie, curly blonde hair in a ponytail away from her face, shrugged. “I don’t know. Maybe?” She sighed and gave Akire and Hyunjin a small smile at their arrival in front of her. “I’m not hurt physically if that’s what you’re asking.”

“That’s good,” Hyunjin said, then glanced behind himself. “But your room…”

Annie nodded. “Yeah. I know.” She shrugged. “It’s a terrible mess. But actually, he didn’t steal anything,” she laughed, and immediately Akire heard something in her voice. She was lying. Akire’s brain began to turn.

Hyunjin, however, did not hear the same. “I’m glad to know you’re okay,” he said, giving her a comforting smile that made Annie smile back.

“Thank you,” she said, then glanced over his shoulder towards her room. “I came here to check on how the police are doing. And,” she said, “if they’ve found anything about the Criminal.”

She began to slip by the two of them, but Akire held her hand out in front of Annie before she realized what she was doing. “Wait,” she said and tried her best to ignore Annie’s look of surprise.

“I have something to show you in my room,” Akire said slowly, then turned to Hyunjin. “A girl thing,” she said to him, “not about the Smooth Criminal. Don’t worry.” She gave him a grin that she hoped hid her intent.

The smile worked. Hyunjin gave a thumbs up. “Sure,” he said, his eyes lingering a little too long on Akire before glancing at Annie. “Let me know if you need anything, Annie, okay?”

“Thank you,” Annie said, and Hyunjin made his way back into his apartment.

“I just have to show you something,” Akire said, leading Annie into her small apartment. Along the walls were some of her favorite things - posters of Korean and Japanese boy bands, a Japanese horror monster, and graphical artwork made by a friend that had been gifted to her for her birthday.

“I don’t have to show you something,” Akire clarified as she shut the door. She sat down on her bed while Annie stared at her in the middle of the room, puzzled. “I could tell that you weren’t telling us something. What did the Smooth Criminal steal?” She hoped that the reason for her lie was Hyunjin since she didn’t know him very well, but a thought occurred to her just then that told her that this was invasive. “You know, sorry-” Akire said, but Annie had already begun to speak.

“You really could see it right through me, huh?” Annie flushed.

This wasn’t the result Akire had suspected would happen. She maintained eye contact and nodded to her, hoping she gave a comforting presence.

“He didn’t steal anything physical,” Annie said slowly. She then began to giggle, an embarrassed and girlish giggle that had Akire as the puzzled one now.

“He stole a kiss from me,” Annie said finally, triumphantly, as if this was a secret buried inside of her for years and she was finally opening up about it. Akire almost stood up from the bed in surprise.

“What?”

“He’s a great kisser, if you must know,” Annie continued, now blushing. Akire couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Hadn’t the Smooth Criminal turned her apartment inside-out?

Annie noticed Akire’s emotions written all over her face, and her giggling stopped. “You didn’t know?” She said, her eyebrows raising. “He’s not called that just because he can’t be caught. He’s called smooth because, well, he’s smooth.” She smiled, and Akire could practically see the makeout scene through Annie’s eyes that she was clearly reminiscing on in her head.

“He trashed your apartment,” Akire felt the need to say, still stunned.

“Yes, but…” she sighed. “I don’t know, Akire. The kiss was so good it almost made me forget about how he ripped up all of my papers and knocked over all of my things.”

She shrugged, walking towards the door in a hint that she was to leave. “I’m going to see what the police have found,” she said, “I can’t wait until they find him. I want to give him a punch in the gut and a thank you.” She gave Akire a look that she couldn’t decipher - perhaps, ‘thanks-for-letting-me-tell-you-about-the-criminal-that’s-a-good-kisser-face?’ - and left.

The next day, the Smooth Criminal had failed to leave Akire’s mind. As she walked around town doing errands, the wanted posters that had his face partially shown stood out to her in ways they had never had before. She saw models wearing hats behind the glass of a clothing store and was reminded of him. She couldn’t shake what Annie had told her about him, how he had certainly been handsome enough for Annie to let him kiss her despite destroying her apartment, but more importantly, Annie’s incident had made Akire realize something: she recognized the Smooth Criminal.

But from where, she was unsure. The man’s lips and nose in the photo were from somewhere in her life, but she was at a loss as to their origin. Had she known any more, she would have alerted the police immediately. But doubt tugged at her stomach, she very well could have been staring at the poster for too long and she didn’t know him at all. That’s what Akire had decided to believe so she could finally calm down her mind.

Akire passed by yet another Smooth Criminal wanted sign before her last stop of the day, the coffee shop. She had been dying for a scone, something sweet to eat before she went back to her apartment to work on papers for her job. She opened the door to the coffee shop, its familiar jingle echoing around the shop as she entered, and she was met face to face with her crush from sociology class.

Minho - handsome, smart, and cool - stood in front of her. “Hello, Akire,” he said, smiling. Akire was too stunned to say anything. He slipped by her, the interaction over in moments. Akire turned around, watching his dark hair bob up and down as he walked further and further away. Usually, Akire was not fazed by seeing her crushes, and even for this, she wasn’t stunned by his looks or the surprise of seeing him in public.

She had realized why the attractive lips and nose of the Smooth Criminal had been so familiar. The Criminal was Minho.

Akire rushed out of the coffee shop to follow him, scone forgotten. The mobile phone in her hands shook with adrenaline as she dialed the police. Her thumb hovered over the dial button. She could call and get Minho the trouble he deserved. She could call and the Smooth Criminal flyers could be removed from lampposts and give room for new advertisements.

But if she didn’t call, Akire could let him keep at it and profit from whatever exactly he was doing. She could, and she could see her thoughts were being irrational, help him with his crimes. But more importantly, she could see first-hand why the Smooth Criminal was so smooth. That thought was enough to confirm the choice she had in her head.

Akire turned off her phone and pocketed it into her jacket. Then, running to catch up with Minho, she tapped him on the shoulder.

Minho turned at her touch, shocked. “Akire from sociology?”

“I know your secret, you smooth man,” Akire said without preamble. “Let me help you.”

Minho’s eyes widened in the realization of what she meant. Then, like he had processed her words, his face turned neutral again. But this time, his eyes shined with something similar to the shine that was in Hyunjin’s eyes - but it was infinitely more sinister. It made Akire’s stomach bubble with excitement.

“Then who am I to resist your assistance?”

Hello! I love the art you made about Kite Shepard. Is your AMA still open? I'd be curious to know more about them and their back story.

hi! thank you! i always love getting questions yes! (ㅅ´ ˘ `)♡

kite’s backstory is colonist/ruthless. she grew up on mindoir with a large family, but they worked at a spaceport instead of a farm. kite is more used to aliens than a lot of colony kids, since a few would always be passing through on supply and commercial ships, and she had a few cousins who dated asari, but mindoir was first & foremost a human world, so she has a really strong connection to her own people. she learned to love tech as a kid shadowing her parents and older cousins in the shipyard, and has been a tinkerer for as long as she can remember. she’s also always been a firecracker, with a short temper and a lot of energy. she got called a brat a lot as a child, but always with affection.

the batarian attack happened when she was 16. the raiders hit the spaceport hard to stop humans from evacuating off planet. kite and most of her extended family survived, but seeing her neighbors shot down or abducted, her family’s work destroyed, and her community turned into a war zone really messed with kite’s head. she threw herself completely into rebuilding the shipyard and learning about ships and weapons, then joined the alliance on her 18th birthday. although she was already traumatized and a little weird, her first crew liked her. she was a chatty, energetic, fierce little soldier who spent most of her time poking around in the engine room—a lot like tali before the reaper war.

just a few years after that was torfan. kite had tried not to blame batarians as a people for what happened on mindoir, but when left alone with all her commanding officers dead, just 21 years old, already wired and hopeless from the long siege, and watching the batarians desecrate alliance soldiers’ bodies and mock them for retreating, kite lost her fucking mind. she led a berserker charge that wiped out every batarian defender on torfan, even the ones who tried to surrender. she lost half of her hearing in an explosion and lost her unit too, almost to the last man. for an experienced commander it would’ve been a career-ending disgrace. for kite, a kid sister to most of her crew and low ranking enough that she should never have had to call that shot, it was just a tragedy.

when she was allowed to return to duty, her remaining crew almost didn’t recognize her. she didn’t speak at all for a while, and barely reacted when people spoke to her—half the time she couldn’t hear them. she stopped tinkering or showing interest in any piece of tech besides her own rifle, which she stripped and reassembled obsessively. she just wasn’t the same kid at all. her crewmates complained about her attitude or reported worrying about her to the point of distraction, and before long kite was reassigned to anderson’s ship.

with anderson as her captain she started talking again. her sense of humor started to come back, although crooked and rare. she was able to forgive batarians, for real this time, but never shook off the feeling that humans were easy targets in this galaxy and that if she didn’t look out for her people, aliens certainly would not. she never got back into engineering, instead focusing all her energy on becoming a better sniper. now she’s one of the best shots in the alliance.

her skill wasn’t the main thing that got her shortlisted as a possible spectre candidate, though—it was her lack of hatred for the batarians, her simultaneous desire to protect and represent humans and ability to work with aliens. although kite is an angry, gruff person of not too many words, she is still deeply kind, something that was not lost on either anderson or nihlus.
