Just throwing it out there:
In the modern!Scroogeverse (and of course, Sims!verses, @rom-e-o) Oliver and Abigail? Oh, yeah, they definitely stalk Bess' social media. Especially after Eb comes into the picture. Yes, Bess blocked their actual accounts, of course, but Abigail goes out of her way to make fake accounts to get around the blocks.
It's pathetically sad actually.

The medieval era was one that adhered to formal styles, even in hairstyles. Long-grown hair on men was seen as a symbol of great dominance, power and fertility. Headwear was an intrinsic part of medieval fashion, used to signify social status. CC links under the cut.

Disney Dreamlight Valley Early Access Review
So, for the past few days, I've been playing the latest Disney game from Gameloft, Disney Dreamlight Valley, which has been released for Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4 and 5, XBox One, and the PC. It's sort of what happens when you put together a life-sim game with an adventure aspect to it, which is actually pretty impressive. The game is also highly addicting because I tend to play for half the day and lose track of time.
The story of Disney Dreamlight Valley is that once, the land was prosperous and peaceful, where even Disney heroes and villains lived together. However, things changed when the original Ruler of the land disappeared from Dreamlight Valley, causing a curse called "The Forgetting" to occur. The Village is overrun by large briars called Night Thorns, and eventually, Disney characters began to disappear, leaving so few of them left. That's where you, the player, comes in. Using an avatar of your creation, you can explore this vast world and visit other Disney and Pixar worlds while also trying to restore the valley to its natural beauty and uncovering the mystery as to why the Ruler left Dreamlight Valley and how the Forgetting happened.
As I said, the game is highly addicting, allowing you to think and solve puzzles and take quests to build friendship with iconic characters such as Merlin from The Sword in the Stone of Mickey Mouse and friends. However, there are a few cons to getting the game so early. The game still has some glitches, such as the map freezing or going into Furniture Mode unprompted. It also occasionally crashes if you play for too long, especially when you attempt to enter a character's house, Scrooge McDuck's shop, or Remy the Rat's restaurant. Hopefully, with new updates, the game will have some patches that will fix these glitches. Until then, save periodically if you can.
All in all, I give Disney Dreamlight a score of 8/10.

I’m impressed that the Cratchitts can pay rent on a house, however small. Four rooms, yard, and wash house is an impressive property in a city where larger families are living in single rooms and sharing one pump and one outhouse with the entire building, or even multiple buildings.
Of course the Cratchitts are a bit idealized here. Dickens was a journalist and a social reformer as well as a novelist, and moreover had some personal experience of poverty. He knew a lot about the struggles of people living and raising children on 15 shillings a week. But he also knows his audience and his craft. The Cratchitts must be the antithesis of Scrooge and they must be attractive and squeaky clean, physically and morally, and the forces threatening them must not even hint at vice. A sickly and disabled child is a threat to their happiness not the most rigid middle class moralist can hold against them.If Martha is ever desperate enough to be tempted by sex work, or subject to the sexual predation of her employer’s husband; if Peter’s friends are pressuring him to shoplift; if Bob or his wife ever drink gin out of the context of a family holiday party - we’ll, now is not the time to explore that.
No, what is necessary now is a demonstration of the very important fact that Bob and his family, despite everything Scrooge has done to make them miserable, are happier than he is. They get much better value for the money they spend than he ever gets for the money he hoards. They don’t have enough money for new clothes, but they can make a good show for sixpence by adding ribbons to a twice-turned gown, and Bob can keep warm with exercise instead of a greatcoat to keep the kids clad, and even loan clothes to his offspring to make them feel dressed up. And they can eat their fill and have a proper holiday dinner, even the dessert, and pretend that the feast is more lavish than it is, to maximize their pleasure.
A twice-turned gown, by the way, is a labor-intensive bit of frugality. Victorian women’s clothing took acres of fabric, all of which had to be sewn by hand by the household or someone paid by them. A good dress had to be made to last! But everything fades with time and exposure, no matter how carefully laundered and protected. So once the original color faded, you took the dress apart, turned the unfaded side out, and put it back together again, probably with variations to accommodate changes in fashion or figure, or even, in a house with growing girls, of wearer. And if the fabric was good enough, when that side faded, too, you could turn it inside out again and re-remake it, if you were clever enough.

I have just finished reading Jane Eyre for the umpty-umpth time since I imprinted on it at 14.
Certain books I have read too often for too big a chunk of my life for me to ever alter my visual image of the locations and characters while reading, and Jane Eyre is one of them. However, this one out of all of them is gradually accumulating an Ideal but Impossible Cast List of actors who have never, and now never can, play certain characters, but should. Chief of these, of course, are Jane and Rochester. Rochester should be played by Jeremy Brett at slightly older than he played Sherlock Holmes, and Jane should be played by Gillian Anderson at 19, who could totally do the “drab little governess till she suddenly flares up” bit, with a few subtle shifts of eyebrow and half a lip. Today, a new one got added: John Hamm as St. John Rivers.
Because this is the first time since I saw the video adaptation of Good Omens that I’ve read the sequence in which St. John tries his damnedest to gaslight, browbeat, coerce, and lure Jane into marrying him in order to go to India with him as a missionary.
If you have seen John Hamm as Archangel Gabriel in Good Omens, and have read my Good Omens fanfic (which contains, I am told by a reader, the nastiest version of Gabriel in the entire fandom; no small feat for a character whom people have written as a rapist and serial killer), you will understand exactly how much I loathe St. John Rivers. He matches Gabriel’s presentation point-by-point, the self-righteous egotist who tramples all before him and thinks that being Great and Good excuses every bit of cruelty he indulges himself in; thinks, even, that because he never stoops to violence he isn’t cruel at all. When I was 14 it bothered me that he gets the last paragraphs of the book; now that I’m 61 it makes me almost physically ill. I want to shake Jane for all the excuses she makes for him. I hope he dies alone and is in Hell for half an hour before he realizes that’s where he wound up. I wish he’d met Rochester once, because even blind Rochester would’ve seen straight through him and stood a chance, if he could keep his temper, of cutting him off at the knees and shocking Jane into losing the scales on her eyes.
My opinion of Rochester has mutated a bit down the years - the implications of the age difference is much more real and meaningful to me now than it was at the time, for instance; probably more meaningful to me than it ever had a chance of being to Brontë, since she died so young herself. And the mad wife in the attic business is - really complicated and impossible to discuss without discussing historical methods of handling mental illness. But Jane made the right choices about him, right down the line. Of course she had to leave him after he’d lied to her and tried to trick her; of course she took him back after that tremendous ego of his finally broke down enough to let him change. Rochester and Jane have compatible faults, which are much more important, in marriage, than virtues, He in fact has many of the same faults as Rivers does, which explains how close Rivers came to winning. But he can love Jane the way she needs to be love, and no one will ever know if Rivers could, because he scorns to.

Scrooge’s nephew Fred is crucial to the story, one of the two people (the other being Bob Cratchitt) whose relationship with Scrooge is used to mark Scrooge’s relationship with the world, but he tends to fade out of adaptations. This is probably because he’s hard for most people to relate to.
Who among us has not had to be even tempered and docile while overworked and underpaid by a powerful asshole? We all feel you, Bob!
But who among us has gone out of our way to invite That Relative to our holiday party, knowing he would do his best to ruin it? Who has bearded That Relative in his lair, called down his ire upon our heads, deliberately opened ourselves to his nastiness, and returned a merry answer to each sneer? Why make nice to this awful man? It’s not to get into the will. Fred says here that he wants nothing and asks nothing, and we will see later that he’s not talking through his hat; Fred leads a perfectly comfortable life, with either a good job or a secure passive income from a source other than Scrooge. So why does he bother?
Does he just enjoy poking the bear, secure in the knowledge that his uncle’s rants can’t hurt him? Does he pity the old sour lonely man? Did he make a promise to his mother? Or is he an example of the flaw many critics of Dickens have charged him with, a character too good to be believable?
We’ll have more evidence later in the month and new readers may postpone judgment till then.
One thing that stands out here: we have now met the three most important characters in the book, and two of them have been neither introduced nor described. Scrooge has been described at length, physically and morally, before any action occurs; then Fred walks onstage, action begins, and all but incidental description stops. Bob is just hanging out doing clerky things in the background and shivering while Fred bursts in, flushed with exercise and breath smoking in the cold, and leaps into his verbal sparring match with Scrooge. And suddenly the cold grasping figure of Scrooge moves and speaks.
Dickens had to spend all those words describing Scrooge; because, left to himself, Scrooge does nothing. Nothing but convert the people around him into cash. Fred does’t need describing, because he moves and speaks and acts in the world. We are what we do, and Scrooge is a negative presence.

My #1 post of 2022
Let’s hear it for Sims.
Let’s hear it for meticulously crafted, efficient lots built with love and perfectly designed and decorated for the family that lives there.
Let’s hear it for huge barns with with three pinball machines, two arcade games, a billiard table, and four bowling alleys, but no stove.
Let’s hear it for gorgeous, gigantic, replicas of real palaces that crash 90% of games when loaded.
Let’s hear it for neighborhoods played in strict rotation; for neighborhoods where one family is played for three generations before another household is ever loaded; for neighborhoods still being used after 15 years of doing every Very Bad Thing under the sun; for neighborhoods that vanish inexplicably after being played once.
Let’s hear it for Maxis Match, for vanilla only, for palettes that are used exclusively for six months and then scrubbed in favor of a new one, for players who don’t know what any Maxis items, hairs, or clothing actually look like anymore.
Let’s hear it for unmodded games and for games modded into unrecognizability.
Let’s hear it for games in which each neighborhood has its own separate folder so it can have its own specific set of downloads and the player has to sit down and think about whether they want to play medieval, regency, fantasy, the 70s game, the BACC, the Test of Time,or the zombie apocalypse; and games in which the technology and fashion of all eras cohabit unselfconsiously in the same household.
Let’s hear it for non-supernatural heteronormative nuclear sim families; for  werewolf/vampire/plantsim polycules; for queer utopias; for dictatorships that Big Brother would think too restrictive; for rigidly “realistic” games; for unabashed nonsense.
Let’s hear it for perfect worlds with no injury or sickness or fire or death and for hellholes of unending drama and danger.
Let’s hear it for defaults that make even aliens, plantsims, and robots conform to the range of current real-world skintones; and for those in which all colors of the rainbow are available except for those seen in the real world.
Let’s hear it for players who create neighborhood after neighborhood, setting them up perfectly, and never ever have a household open and unpaused long enough to see a welcome wagon.
Let’s hear it for players who build and build and build and never take the game out of build/buy except to playtest their build.
Let’s hear it for players who create CC for games they never play anymore.
Let’s hear it for players who have never made a thing, but toss in families, houses, clothes, objects, and businesses made by Maxis or other players, and play the stuffing out of them.
Let’s hear it for storytellers who never turn on free will and set everything up with poseboxes.
Let’s hear it for storytellers who never turn free will off and are continually surprised.
Let’s hear it for those who document their games and share them, and those who keep their games to themselves.
Let’s hear it for players who rush on to the next new thing.
Let’s hear it for players who doggedly maintain the tech to play their favorite iteration in the face of all difficulties.
Let’s hear it for no-cheat games, and all-cheat games, and every game in between.
Let’s hear it for the sandbox, and all the players therein, playing exactly the way they like to play.
Let’s hear it for sims.

I've been working on a prologue to A Christmas Carol, where Marley meets Scrooge. I will post a few things to the Sims 4 gallery, and a little video on YT.
The character designs are based on in-game build/buy items (portraits), and the exterior of Ebenezer's house is based on a little holiday decoration I found. Inside the house, the story is basically that Scrooge has amassed a lot of possessions, and spends all of his time by himself, usually in the office. But tucked away are some things that might help him remember another way to live - with some ghostly intervention perhaps.

Sims 4 pov
I used to play the sims 4 as a vampire sim, mostly because I did not want to be annoyed by needs that many human sims are bothered by. It makes it a bit bothersome to level skill with having to stop skilling to go to the bathroom, eat;sleep; I sometimes will play with these human sims to test a theory/idea I wanted to find out the results kind of like an experiment. I use many mods to make things simple and trouble free, if humanly possible. Currently. I may seem to be in a good mood by the tone of my writing but, I can assure you I am not in a pleasant mood which is due to the rude & dare say carless actions or rather non responsiveness of a company called electronic arts. They promote they're new game launcher (E.A. app) application as though it is so, great and is going to change gaming history but, in reality it is buggy and broken they also sell broken game pack; expansion packs that do not expand the game at all mostly they barely work yet, they charge premium prices for a buggy barley playable game & the packs and believe it or not I am being nice in my description. Many original players from the beginning of the sims franchise have given up on this company producing anything worth money. This company is an embarrassment to the game world I would go so, far as to say they are more of a joke and a bad one at that, a bully of a game company and shady if not questionable business practices the should be overtaken by a rival company that actually want to see success for their games instead of a capitalistic scrooge like style type business model. I really think they should leave the game world & become career criminals they seem to bettr suited for it in my humble opinion.

Scroldie Weekend 2020: Day 3 - Klondike
Happy Klondike Day!
Woohoo Woo-oo!
I’m so, so happy to finally get to share this - my take on the Blackjack Ballroom, Goldie’s dancing saloon in Dawson, made using The Sims 4 (on PS4)! (Featuring Sims versions of Scrooge and Goldie)
This has been a year in the making and has been quite the journey - I started making this during last year’s Scroldie Week (as a reference for one of the chapters of my story, Always the Lady In My Life - I was just picturing it so perfectly in my mind, I had to make it). Besides my story, its design + layout was mainly influenced by Rosa’s Klondike-based comics, some of Barks’ paintings (namely, “The Goose Egg Nugget” - see the 2nd pic in the photoset above - and “Nobody’s Spending Fool”), DT87′s “Back to the Klondike” episode, and some scenes from @iamthehousethatfloats​ Fortune Favors the Gold (and I was super honored when she and @koizumi-marichan​ used my Sims Blackjack design for inspiration in a chapter after I had shared some preliminary photos 💜).
I finished the building last July, but I may or may not have gotten sidetracked with learning how to legit play poker and blackjack in another PS4 game before sharing this. 😅 (Though that game also has a ballroom with a stage that definitely gives me Scroldie feels.) At some point, I also found out that PS4 Sims players would be able to upload to the gallery soon to share their creations, and then this year, just recently, they came out with The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle, which includes auroras as a feature, so I had to wait to include that in these photos, too. (They’re so pretty aaaah!)
Photo descriptions for above, split into “rows”:
Exterior of the Blackjack on a snowy winter’s night (totally from Scrooge’s perspective)
a) Recreation of Barks’ “The Goose Egg Nugget” (minus everyone else but Scroldie XD) b) Recreation of that infamous scene from Rosa’s “The Prisoner of White Agony Creek” (+ House’s retelling of it ;))
Scrooge and Goldie dancing together in Sims versions of their formal outfits in DT17′s “The Golden Lagoon of White Agony Plains!” (and them dancing in those outfits is based more on that episode’s museum scene, but I’m just having it here at the Klondike shh)
a) Goldie looking out from her dressing room window towards... b) ...the trail to White Agony Creek, hoping that her letter reaches its destination (this row inspired by the end of Rosa’s “Hearts of the Yukon”)
Goldie giving Scrooge a big ol’ kiss by the fire, just because ;)
a) A beautiful aurora over the Blackjack b) Goldie swinging along onstage, singing about gold nuggets (based on DT87′s “Back to the Klondike”)
The beginnings of a gorgeous sunrise over the Blackjack, leading the way to White Agony Valley... 😌
Up next, I plan to make a certain little cabin... 😏
I’ll include the Gallery link to this lot in a reblog of this post, for any Simmers out there who want to download it!
In the meantime, enjoy a bunch of layout + other screenshots and descriptions under the cut! :D
** A quick note about my take on the layout: I know that in the comics, the stairs to the second floor are usually (at least) on the left side of the ballroom (looking towards the stage), and that they tend to head seemingly backstage, but particularly for my own story that I built this for, I have the stairs just on the right side, and they lead up to the dancers’ rooms and have a little balcony looking out towards the stage.
** Second note that you’ll have to use your imagination with the stage a bit. Since foundations (and thus stages) are tricky when used indoors in TS4, the stage is the same level as the rest of the first floor. I just made it a different flooring and put a threshold-type fence along the edge of it. But it works! :D
First things first, some overviews (please forgive any snow flurries getting in these shots XD):
Tumblr media
^ Overview of the exterior
Tumblr media
^ Overview of 1st floor (entrance is on the right) - we have the bar in the top-right, restrooms bottom-right (mainly needed to serve as a community lot in the game), poker and eating tables in the central area, staircase leading up to the second floor in top center, and the stage far left!
Tumblr media
^ Overview of 2nd floor - it’s just on the right half of the picture (the railing should serve as the cutoff). These are the dancer girls’ rooms - starting from the top-right corner and going down in a backwards “L” shape: first two rooms are generic dancer girls’ rooms, then their bathroom, then Snake Hips’ room in the bottom-right corner, and Goldie’s room next to hers!
Now for a walkthrough (littered with so many comics references aha)!
Tumblr media
^ About to head in after walking all the way from your claim, and you look over your shoulder to see her face on the moon this stunning view? Sign me up.
Tumblr media
^ Coming inside, this is what you see first thing (*love of your life standing against a backdrop of flames onstage not included)
Tumblr media
^ Here’s the bar, off to the right of the last photo!
Tumblr media
^ Don’t forget to hang up your hat and coat by the door! (But don’t just stand right there like a big dope. The owner hates that...)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
^ Some overview shots of the place looking from the stage. The first one in particular is as close as I can get to the image I had in my head of this scene for my story, where Goldie and Scrooge are sitting on the edge of the stage looking out over the place. Note than you can see Goldie’s room up there on the far right of the second story...
Tumblr media
^ Close-up of the little fireplace nook I added in! Note the little steamboat model on the mantel of the fireplace. Sure would be a shame if it...caught on fire...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
^ Shots of the stage! Of note, the last one is from the balcony area in front of Goldie’s room (can see into backstage-left from here). I like to think that Goldie liked to spend some of her time here overlooking her establishment, looking for her next victim to swindle or perhaps a certain sourdough in particular...
(Also, kudos to anyone who can spot the very subtle not-duck-related decor choice I accidentally made regarding the stage. 😉)
Tumblr media
^ One of my particular favorite parts - the dancers’ dressing “room” backstage-right! This is where Goldie was in photo 4a for the original photoset of this post, where she’s looking out of the window towards the mountains.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
^ Heading upstairs now, here are some rooms! First, the two generic dancer girl rooms, and second, Snake Hips’ room! (I like the camera I gave her on her nightstand - perhaps she would take up photography of the town as a hobby! :D)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
^ And finally the last stop on our tour before you drink some suspicious coffee and wake up in the snow hours later is Goldie’s room! That glyph above the fireplace totally isn’t a “poison glyph,” what ever gave you that idea? 😅
And so ends the tour! Now time for a couple last fun bonus shots:
Tumblr media
^ House and Mari, this one’s for you! ;D
Tumblr media
^ This one’s really for anyone who just wants the setting of the coffee scene!
Tumblr media
^ Idk, perhaps there were some nights Goldie couldn’t seep and would wander to a window to see a view like this.
Tumblr media
^ It really is beautiful, isn’t it?
Tumblr media
If you made it this far, thank you, and I hope you enjoyed the tour!
Again, I’ll be reblogging this post with a link to download this lot from TS4 Gallery!

So, I’ve been playing Sims 4 a lot lately because, yay, coping skills.  And there is a money vault available in the game known as the  Duck Security© SCR009E Super XL Smart Vault.  (I am not making this up.)  Naturally, this delights me to no end, because I am Disney Duck trash.
However, I recently discovered that the vault has a Woo-Hoo (i.e., Sims sexytimes, if you’re not familiar with the game) option (appropriate) if you have enough cash stored in it.  They are tastefully concealed by the mountain of cash they are doing the do in, but...that’s a thing that made me laugh a lot.
It also made me immediately think of Scrooge and Goldie messing around in the money bin, because I will go down with that ship, so do what you will with this thought.
