The Investigation of Geoffrey Landgraab

Two nights ago I turned on my game and decided to see what Geoffrey would authentically lead me to in Strangerville. Originally my plan was to have him gather evidence, complete a dossier, and get inside a lab where he may or may not have been consumed by the mother plant, but I didn't want to do heavy storytelling. I decided to just play and get some ideas because sometimes that spikes up my creativity more especially since I just wanted this to largely be gameplay.

When I first switched to Geoffrey he was on the verge of death in San Myshuno. Lowkey took this as foreshadowing, but I got him dressed and sent him on his way.

I decide to go to Strangerville's library to have him ask civilians about their awareness of the town. However Geoffrey...was watching a sexual act between Katrina Caliente and Marcus Flex.

I won't tolerate this behavior, so I send Geoffrey outdoors to find more upstanding people. An infected sim is walking around, so I have Geoffrey speak to him.

'Consume the fruit of the mother and know peace.'

Now, despite being lead detective we can all agree that Geoffrey is not the smartest guy around, right? Which had the gears in my head turning, like: "is my Geoffrey going to be willing to examine the fruit, and take a bite of it?" After a few moments I decided yes. Yes he is.

summer nights are approaching ⭐

People I want to get to know better!

Fennwhick Grove, Newcrest.

Once a lakeside cottage, Fennwhick Grove has been lovingly reimagined by a local architect with a vision: to echo the timeless charm and sophistication of it's neighbors, Edgar's Creek and Port Bluff. Subtle colonial lines are a nod to Port Bluff's stately profile, while the gentle curves of the garden paths and upper balcony mirror Edgar's Creek's elegant naturalism.

Fennwhick Grove is now a serene retreat for a local writer and her family.

WIP inspired by @pixelplayground's amazing builds and style.

This was WAY more fun than I expected it to be! Thanks for the tag, @fledermausbend :)

🐺Kay - canon

So why did I choose this sim of mine for the challenge? Because it’s the perfect setting to bring him a little closer to you ...

so it’s time for Kay to finally take up the space he’s long deserved. I’ve introduced him here before (Kay Withers), with words that tried to express what he means to me. But considering the weight he holds in my world - how deeply he’s woven into everything - it’s been far too quiet around him. That’s about to change. This post shows him in his favorite everyday outfit, with his guitar - he lives for music - and at one of his favorite places: the fireplace near the old ruins in Windenburg.

Kay is my soul echo. The part of me that exists beyond all the noise out there. He's no reflection, no shadow, but just the steady pulse of my inner calm. He’s not a self-sim, but he is my truth, my voice.

He’s loud where I’m quiet. Brave where I stay cautious. He lives the kind of freedom I often only feel inside.

He’s been part of my stories for a long time, but now I want him to be seen in all his facets.

With this post, I’m joining a challenge that instantly inspired me, by @honeysylvan 🫶 AU April, a journey through alternate universes. And I’m genuinely happy that Kay will be part of it, because this is exactly his thing: colorful, diverse, creative - even if, as usual, I’m showing up a bit late.

Maybe, through these fragments, you’ll come to see him the way I do.

Thanks for this beautiful inspiration and thanks to all CC Creators for your amazing work 🫶. OC: Kay, GShade Preset and location build by me @Tikay21

feels good to be home.
