This is an interesting choice. The Broke family has several very familiar futures which I won't compare. This one is like none of the others. You've created a psychological study of a family in distress headed for disaster yet still place them in familiar surroundings. I really like it just from the beginning!
Without going into exhaustive detail about Dustin's past, he has definitely suffered some enormously painful events from his father's death to the unfair experience at work to his struggle at school. His choices in dealing with them are not only self-destructive though but show an astonishing lack of concern for his family. I mean, wow - I'd call his attitude pathological at this point. He has no plans for the future, seems resentfully resigned to sitting there in his mother's old trailer, and just does not care about anyone but himself. He's an attractive young man, obviously intelligent, but, as you've described him, destructively resentful. It's hard to feel sorry for him although he deserves some sympathy.
I wonder about Meadow's naivety. Poor thing faces catastrophe if Dustin's criminal career is discovered. Somehow I doubt she would leave him. Their live is already strange and she accepts it.
What you've done with that little trailer is amazing! It never did work for Brandi, not with all those children and the odd footprint of that place. Turning the back bedroom into a living space with comfortable chairs makes a huge difference and one I would never have thought of! There's enough room in the two remaining bedrooms for the family without trying to make that narrow hallway serve as a social gathering place. Using it as a little study area and a place to put the workout machine makes very good use of that impossible space. Moving the kitchen cabinets around provides space for a decent dining table, something totally missing in the original trailer. I can actually see a family eating there now.
The small details don't overwhelm the fact that's a trailer after all, not a even a tiny house, so the wallpaper is pretty but not expensive. The chairs in the living space look comfortable but, like the trailer, were not chosen for much beyond comfort, not design. It's perfect! What a difficult place to work with - a place they should be planning to leave but don't appear to be seriously working on, a place where a family seems sliding into disaster (like his mother).
However, the cat is beautiful!! I'm so glad you included a lovely pet again.
I wouldn't have attempted to work with this place. (Did once and had to give up.) This is masterful character studies and careful design!
Oh thank you so much ❤ Thank you for being so supportive and for taking the time to share your detailed thoughts like this. I am in awe every time by your kindness.
I'm glad that you liked this one. I find it a difficult tightrope to balance creating criminal characters without making them into cartoony slapstick villains, and also not making them so tied to reality that the reader/viewer becomes unable to sympathize with them. You did a brilliant job of finding that balance with Gabe Lombardo, so I'm sure you know what I mean. I hope I can keep that up with Gordon King - he's going to be a challenge.
I think your analysis of my version of Dustin is spot on: he's headed straight for the abyss, and doesn't care. And yes, Meadow is definitely naive. It's one of those situations when things were good in the beginning of the relationship, but ever so slowly, things have changed little by little, slowly enough that Meadow perceives it as normal. It will take a very dramatic event for her to wake up.
Thank you, I'm glad you like what I did to the place 🥰 It's definitely cramped, but I liked renovating it, it was fun. Thank you again for the lovely comment ❤ Have a wonderful day! I'm looking forward to your next chapter 😍
First of all, I must say sorry for not comment here before, but I've been really binge-watching your videos and loving it so much! I follow a couple of LP's by now, enjoy the general style of them a lot, but your is so delicate and detailed in a way am amazed! It made me kinda nostalgic of when I used to play with more realistic cc and such back in 2017-8 too rs These days I play mostly maxis-match, but since started to watch your LP I've been wanting to do a save in this style again 🥰 May I ask if you plan on do some video or stuff about the cc you use? But, anyways, great job with this series, thanks for the calm and envolving feelings with such storylines! 😍✨
Oh wow thank you so much for your kind words, this really made my day ❤ I'm so happy that you're enjoying the series. I am working on some videos about the cc since I've had a couple of people ask. It will take me some time to put it together though, since I have so much 🙈 But in regards to build/buy, I got a lot of it (like probably 35% or more) from downloading JodelieJodelie's beautiful builds from her Tumblr. Also feel free to ask if there's anything in particular in regards to cc (or otherwise) that you wonder about. Have a lovely day 🥰
@@AniBats oh, glad to know that! 🥰 It's completely fine and understandable, take your time, and thanks for the recommendation, I'll check her tumblr too! Have a great day and week!
Aaah! Did both boys inherit Brandi's hair color?? 😍
Yeah! 😄 I actually went into SimPE and added recessive genes to the premades and playable townies before I started playing this time around, so Dustin got black hair and grey eyes recessive from Brandi. Brandi, for her part, got brown hair and brow eyes from her parents, which is why my "unborn baby Broke" (Mike) has those colors 😊 On the other hand, Meadow has brown recessive hair color from Christy and Alvin (well, their "parents" really), so it's possible that any potential future kids could get brown hair too.
I always curious what Lighting mod that you use as well as Terrain & road replacement 🥺
Love your LP! ✨
Thank you 🥰 I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying it.
I use Gunmod's Radiance Lighting System, CuriousB's Road Replacements (Radiance/Seasons), as well as Criquette's Rural Charm Lush Terrain.
If you're interested in getting the lighting mod, I warmly recommend getting it together with Numenor's Scriptorium, where it's included with an automatic installation. That way, you also get a program that easily lets you install modular stairs, fireplaces etc without having to edit the game files, as well as the lighting mod 😊
@@AniBats Thanks for your reply! I also use Criquette's rural charm and I'm searching for sidewalk that compatible with it,I will try the one you use 😊
Ah.. Yes Scriptorium! Thank you!! 😊
i need to ask where you find you clothing cc! Medows bluse is so cute! :OO
I get it from a bunch of different places :) but some of my favorites (mainly for adults) include: Klira, Nika Onishko, Io and Always Sims. Meadow's blouse was made by Eliene Bella and can be found here: elienebella-sims2.tumblr.com/post/162754445553/download
