The white whaaaaaale!

[profbutters]

I can't remember who started the post on what your "white whale" would be for Sims 2 CC. No surprise to anyone who has listened to my whining about it, it is, of course, CC wedding cakes that actually work.

And now! Thanks to eris3000 on MTS2, and thanks to dicreasy and dizzifulbliss , who let me know about them---

Wedding cakes that work!

"The whiiiite whaaaale!"



DANG, doesn't that look pretty? There are six different ones. There's even a *chocolate* one. MMM. And the same creator has a bunch of other wedding CC--tables (seen above) and arches and things of that sort that do not require Celebration Stuff!

You can set them for sale if you have Lord Darcy's and Numenor's mods--I checked, using (of course) Gilbert Jacquet as my guinea pig. You can't put them in the Decra-Chills because they are too big. But they really do actually work, as the following pictures of Rosie and Shane's second wedding will show.



Rosie, BTW, has not changed one iota. It was obvious that this was THE biggest day of her life, bar none. The only thought bubbles I ever saw were "engagement" and "marriage." And while I thought her original LTW, Six Married Children, was hideous enough, her new one was even worse--Raise Twenty Puppies and Kittens.

This picture is only here to show you how purty the new inside wedding chapel is. BTW, having it close by still isn't foolproof--Rosie and Shane still got married in solitary splendor--but hey, I tried.



Then we got to the serious business--would it work?



YESSS! YES IT DOES! It Cuts! It allows Feed Slice To! Sims take pieces and eat them! --as this adorabobble picture will show.



Even my simself was dubious and wanted to check things out for herself.



Sim Me: There IS a cake god.



As you can see, I'm up to the actual moving Sims in, and sadly, killing them off, stage.  I'm taking some nice pictures and pulling them over to the Paintings folder, where De Beers and his family can paint them.  So I'm well on track.  Not promising anything about when the next chapter will be--I have a "loose ends" chapter that will take my Sims through college, anyway.  But all I have to do now is build a few of the businesses and the college lots, and I am thinking about sending my teens to college and then using the College Adjuster or something to speed them through after getting the two Greek Houses up to scratch.  Also, my unauthorized opinion on SimSecret this week--BO-ring.  Also confusing.  I have no clue what the rules are now--the same old nasty cracks seem to be ok, but the nicer ones like "I really love your stuff" aren't--even, confusingly, a Johnny and Ripp one that was a shade naughty but not more.  If Ripp/Johnny isn't a SimSecret, what the heck is?

Yay for functioning cc wedding cakes! I know how much you've been wanting some variety. It's nice to see one actually working for you.

And yay for Rosie and Shane! Did you change his name?

Oh! As a side note, before you move dormies in, make sure you've given your sim a college degree. Otherwise, the dormie will drop out of college. This probably won't do you much good since Shane is your only dormie, but... Well, hopefully it'll help with someone. :)

I'm really kind of irritated with the whole Sim Secret thing. It just pisses me off. I mean, most of what was rejected was the exact same stuff they posted. It was stupid.

Shane's name in this hood was Joel. I did change his name. I blew it with the college degree, but it was only him and he's dead now. It may be an issue with a few other Sims, though, so it's still worth knowing. I might as well get in the habit of "upgrading" non-Uni Sims, especially if they are going to die off soon anyhow.

The Sim Secret thing was ridonkulous. I especially was irritated by the "fangirl" stuff being considered "not a secret" or "why don't you just tell them?" The nice ones really set off some of the ikky ones. And yes, the stuff they rejected was the same as the stuff they posted, and some of the stuff they posted was *way* over the line and had zip to do with Sims, while some of the stuff they ashcanned did.

I'm not going to miss all the bird, horse, and dino spam, and I could have lived without being associated with a giant porno peen, but they've gone overboard.

Congrats on the cakes Prof! I know you've been wanting them for a long time. And thanks as well for putting the link up. I went ahead and grabbed them myself.

Good! I think they're pretty enough that plenty of people will want them, even if they already have Celebration Stuff. They don't fit in Decra-Chills, and they are really expensive (I think) but I don't think wedding and birthday cakes go bad.

It is sad when you get to see your old sims and KNOW that you have to kill them :(

I like the outfit yoursimself is wearing. If you don't mind my asking, where is it from?

As for the Simsecret stuff, I agree. But perhaps it's for the best, because it means no more Cecil/Cecil slash, lol. Nah, who am I kidding, that stuff was hilarious.

Killing my old Sims hasn't been fun, and it's only been Rosie and Shane so far. Killing Publius, Sunny and Delightful is going to be when it starts to hurt.

My simself is wearing an outfit from All-About-Style, and I switched her into it because it looks like something I'd actually wear (and do.)

The Cecil/Cecil slash cracked me up.

MOAR "hot" Cecil-on-Cecil action is needed.

I'm so glad that they work for you. One thing that did cross my mind when I tried them was that I have Celebration stuff installed, and I hoped that wouldn't make a difference.

Rosie and Shane's wedding was very sweet, even if they didn't have an audience.

I agree about SimSecret: I was confused as to why some secrets were rejected whilst others, which were of a similar ilk, were posted.

Yay for CC wedding cakes that work! And thanks for the link as well. These will be very enjoyable.

Hi Rosie and Shane! I'm glad that they got to be the first to test out the wedding cakes and it's nice to see them again if only for a little while. It looks like the rebuild is going pretty well at this point.

And I agree about the secrets. When I saw that there were only 30 some this time I went "What?" I hadn't realized they were "cracking down." I'm happy with less of the personal attacks and random birds (which were creepy, and I like bird) but really, not posting the nice secrets? That's not cool. Nice secrets can make my entire week so I know they must have that effect on other people as well.
