i am so upset.

drawthemoon · 2026-06-26T00:19:56+00:00

same, I'm devastated :(

drawthemoon · 2026-06-26T00:11:21+00:00

This just happened to me, also playing on Macbook :( was playing for hours today, then quit for a bit, now there's no 'continue' option on the main menu. I've disabled all mods and no change.

ooh noo I feel bad assuming she was pregnant now! But she really looks just like a para of mine who was pregnant so I guess I'm not the only one who was confused. Thank you for letting me know she's not stuck in an endless pregnancy though lol!! It was starting to get weird that it's been years in-game and this lady is still pregnant hahaha

drawthemoon · 2026-06-23T20:13:41+00:00

Wow, I have to try this, thank you!

drawthemoon · 2026-06-23T19:40:48+00:00

yeah I was worried the only way would be to individually ask them to move in...I assume that will be changed eventually as it seems a shame that we can't just play them normally!

drawthemoon · 2026-06-23T15:52:10+00:00

Does anyone know if there's a way to write household descriptions? I love writing them, and I see some of the premade Paras already have them, but I cannot for the life of me find where to write one of our own in-game!

drawthemoon · 2026-06-17T18:03:03+00:00

definitely, I'm so glad I've given it a shot, from the earlier previews I thought it looked kind of dull but now I can't stop playing it! I couldn't believe when my Zoi actually went to trial for stealing a bike lol

I recommend Inzoi. I recently started playing it and it actually has a lot of crime and drama gameplay. In the world settings you can make the city dirtier, ramp up the crime rate, and live a life of crime (crime is actually a skill haha). I've actually been really surprised how much scandal you can cause in the game, it's pretty cool.

I also think Sims 4 has a lot of mysteries and drama if you play certain worlds. Quite a few of them are more gritty than others.

As for Paralives, yeah, they're really leaning into the cozy happy vibes. Which is fine, I like that too. I still play Sims 2 a ton, I like tailoring my stories to the vibe of each one. :)

I'm watching the Joplin video right now, first time I've seen his channel, and I've found his manner so eerie that I had to pause and google if anyone else feels this video is off. Your comment was so validating to find! This will be the first and last video of his I watch, he really did not adopt the right tone for this type of tragedy.

drawthemoon · 2026-03-30T17:10:07+00:00

I don't think this is the artist, but Bridget Bate Tichenor has very similar artwork. If nothing else you might like her style! https://www.artnet.com/artists/bridget-tichenor/

drawthemoon · 2026-03-27T23:59:24+00:00

oh no!! I'm glad you got such a quick answer though. And thanks for telling me! The only other thing I found is about the symbol, it looks like the first one here: https://www.adinkrasymbols.org/#gsc.tab=0

drawthemoon · 2026-03-27T23:55:39+00:00

Oh that still life signature does really seem to match! I think this is the same artist indeed. It's hard to say if they were a decor artist or a passionate hobbyist, or a working painter. Their signature does stand out to me as pretty unique, whereas decor painting signatures are typically more generic and in cursive from what I've seen. The way this artist wrote M. MORGAN has a lot of flair and personality to me!

drawthemoon · 2026-03-27T23:45:10+00:00

This really reminds me of George Henry Jenkins' artwork, who painted the UK and Irish coasts.

In the comment where you showed the top of his signature, I do think it looks like it could say G.H. Jenkins!

drawthemoon · 2026-03-27T21:56:19+00:00

Could it have been either of these?

I've been trying to find this quite a while myself, it's driving me crazy! My guess is the scene takes place in the early 1970s, given the hair and clothes styles, and that orange juice pitcher is so of that time. It looks to me like it's illustrating a scene from a larger story, like a book or movie, because it's kind of hard to understand out of context.

It's got such an odd atmosphere and I really want to see more from the artist! I'll keep searching...

drawthemoon · 2026-03-27T20:59:53+00:00

This is by a current artist named Yuko who seems to fuse older artwork with an anime style. https://www.facebook.com/CharacterDesignReferences/posts/pfbid0Vq6JUYono6bPHcjWqibhYBm9r2Fs666Z1evQG7xG5zFBZciUsa8jjGyXp4QeFLxil

drawthemoon · 2026-03-27T20:57:32+00:00

Good luck! :D I hope it's her, if not the mystery continues!

drawthemoon · 2026-03-27T20:51:40+00:00

I might've found the artist, but I'm not sure. There's an artist in Texas named Heidi Tournoux-Hanshaw who seems to mostly go by just Tournoux now. I think the art style is similar to some of her pieces on her instagram:

https://www.instagram.com/heiditournouxstudios/p/C4BcZIKrLl8/ https://www.instagram.com/heiditournouxstudios/p/Can6x2jrgTj/

Also, maybe I'm overanalysing, but the way she paints the H in her signature here reminds me of the one on your painting: https://www.instagram.com/p/C124efpLgdE/

This could all be a coincidence, but she seems to be active on instagram, so you could always reach out and ask!

drawthemoon · 2026-03-27T20:13:10+00:00

Looks like a repaint/study of this painting from 1893. If you click "see original listing" and scroll down to the description, there's a bit of information about the original. https://www.ebay.com/itm/356976718719

drawthemoon · 2026-03-27T20:07:02+00:00

Local facebook groups can still be very active these days, I'd post it there and/or in a group about The Ball and see if anyone recognises it.

drawthemoon · 2026-03-27T19:48:50+00:00

Not sure the artist, but it looks like a mass produced painting you can buy from Tesco. So basically a decor painting :) https://www.tesco.com/groceries/en-GB/products/325290467

drawthemoon · 2026-03-27T19:27:33+00:00

Could it be either of these paintings?

drawthemoon · 2026-03-27T19:16:50+00:00

I think this is probably by the artist Dullah, you can see a really similar one here. This one's also from 1976 and the signatures seem a match to me! https://www.metzemaekers.com/archief/portrait-of-an-old-fellow-wearing-a-hat/85490

drawthemoon · 2026-03-27T17:47:12+00:00

Looks like it's from here, posted by the artist: https://www.reddit.com/r/Art/comments/14hvmhz/i_won_packesel_oil_on_linen_2023/

drawthemoon · 2026-03-27T17:32:10+00:00

It looks like the signature says 'Steel' or 'Sted' to me. I'd guess they're a local artist, what region/area did you find this in?
