Sims 3: Playing the Goth Family

[strangetomato]

My new computer has finally allowed me to play Sims 3 well on the highest graphical setting (I used to have crazy lag on even just an okay setting), so I've been enjoying some gameplay these past couple of days. I was also able to install Generations, and I'm enjoying the features that adds to the game. Lots of fun little details. I decided to play the Goth family, so I have a cute little Bella/Mortimer shot to share with you:

A post-graduation date on the beach. How romantic!

And yeah, it turns out Bella is "that girl with the cat ears" that is a staple character of every new year of college students, especially in art schools. ;)

Heheh, that is so true and so fitting!

We see this at the local college here every year, even though it's been almost ten years since we experienced it firsthand (wow, we're getting old), so it truly stands the test of time.

I'm a little surprised that Bella would go that route. She seems a little too sophisticated for it to me, but then again, she doesn't seem like one to take herself too seriously either. I could see her as a very self-aware (and maybe ironic?) cat-eared college girl.

You've gotta love the transition outfits for characters you aren't' controlling in Sims 3. It's fun to see how they end up. So far, at least this Bella hasn't morphed into an entirely different body type, so I'm happy.

Most of my anime-loving high school friends were cat-eared girls at some point (though a couple had fish hats instead.) I actually needed a character like that for F&R and the honor went to Sandy Bruty.

I was thinking Bella would want to do something to set herself apart and call attention to herself (though she'd probably stop once she saw the other girls doing it.)
