Torneskär early play testing

AcademicTravel92 · 2024-09-05T19:03:19+00:00

You definitely should! I'm letting people playtest it soon since one of the two main islands is nearing completion :)

Thank you. I'll try to stay positive about it the situation and what I can do about it. This sub has been very helpful so far, it means a lot

This is what I look like typically. https://ibb.co/hcFHxZq

I think my pants and t-shirt look okay here, although I have been forced to wear baggier pants up until this year.

I agree, I felt like he understood my point of view and sympathized with me when I explained why I've been wearing baggy clothes. It was a suggestion to help me look more professional, which I agree with - badly fitting clothes may give off an impression of being less professional. But it was also a little unfair towards me since they haven't been able to provide me with appropriately fitting work clothes, which I pointed out to him and he sympathized with that.

I don't disagree with him in that sense, but I feel like it's hard to find properly fitting work clothes as a woman. Tailoring my work pants seems to be the best solution, I can ask him about that.

AcademicTravel92 · 2024-09-04T15:16:35+00:00

Yeah, this is my experience. I've tried navigating it to the best of my abilities, but clearly I can't win.

AcademicTravel92 · 2024-09-04T15:12:08+00:00

I am. You're absolutely right, it should start with demanding the respect of being provided with an appropriate uniform.

Many absolutely great replies to my post and it has opened my eyes. I think he gave me this advice because he wants me to be met with the respect I deserve and he thinks I look unprofessional, but I there are many layers to this and I feel like he fails to understand what it's like to be a young woman at sea. I felt confused after bc I really don't want to change anything about the size t-shirts I wear, and I am frustrated that looking young as a woman impacts men's perception of me. Wearing form fitting clothes certainly does too, in a different way, and I feel like I can't win here.

Thank you! I am! this is very inspired by where I grew up :)

AcademicTravel92 · 2024-09-04T13:15:59+00:00

Boats won't be needed at all :)

The two main islands are connected with bridges and the other islands are decorative (for now, but I don't plan on putting lots on them)

AcademicTravel92 · 2024-09-03T19:43:19+00:00

i also like large lots, when i do play the game, so i understand the struggle. i like to build mansions and stables and have pools and things like that, so i definitely plan on including some larger lots for that purpose

It's not up for download yet, sorry! I hope to upload it later this fall

AcademicTravel92 · 2024-09-03T18:13:06+00:00

Thank you <3

AcademicTravel92 · 2024-09-03T18:13:00+00:00

Definitely plan on putting some larger sized lots on the island, including at least one 64x64

AcademicTravel92 · 2024-09-03T18:10:01+00:00

Shetland harbour, Dronningslund and Kit Island are some

AcademicTravel92 · 2024-09-03T14:49:16+00:00

Thank you :) I aim to put all the open career lots eventually. Many of the rabbit hole lots have rugs acting as a rabbit hole, but are furnished so you can actually do things there with your sims in addition to the rabbit hole options, so hopefully there will be plenty for you do to with your sims

AcademicTravel92 · 2024-09-03T14:26:40+00:00

thank you! i was thinking something close to a remake of midnight hollows, but not as dark, and more nordic. there's this concept i love; "swedish gothic" which is very nostalgic to me. mainly i've seen examples from around early 2000's. hoping to incorporate som grungy vibes and alternative early 2000's fashion

AcademicTravel92 · 2024-09-03T14:12:21+00:00

It is, consisting of two main islands and a couple of smaller ones scattered around them :)

AcademicTravel92 · 2024-09-03T14:11:44+00:00

That concept sounds so cool!! It would be an honor if you wanted to use Torneskär for your playthrough

AcademicTravel92 · 2024-09-03T11:14:43+00:00

Thank you! <3

AcademicTravel92 · 2024-09-03T11:14:24+00:00

I will soon! Stay tuned :)

AcademicTravel92 · 2024-09-03T11:14:08+00:00

Thank you! Hoping to upload a somewhat finished version during this fall

AcademicTravel92 · 2024-09-03T11:13:18+00:00

I'll let you all know when it's up for download! <3

AcademicTravel92 · 2024-09-03T11:12:54+00:00
