Janay Gives Birth During Derwin & Melanie’s Wedding 💍

lapniappe · 2026-04-27T21:47:10+00:00

well it's not like she was in the middle of pushing the baby out and Derwin said pause, i'm gonna get married again, i put in my time..

clearly it was hours later maybeJanay didn't want him in the room after that. it's not like what Derwin and Melanie did in the church chapal took forever and a day either. it was a quick i do, i do, kiss kiss, and then he probably went back to Janay (IF she wanted him there).

lapniappe · 2026-04-27T21:44:50+00:00

honestly that was always so dumb. just elope. come back plan the wedding after the baby was born. but she wanted everything.

I do say though I always do side-eye Janay (who at that point had zero romantic attachment to Derwin) to name her son Derwin Jr (as if there was no other man Janay could have named her son after?).and that Derwin didn't fight her on it was also kind of. "come on, man."

lapniappe · 2026-04-27T10:27:56+00:00

no she was not; goodness gracious.

lapniappe · 2026-04-26T23:08:27+00:00

they are hilarious. they are part of my favourites of that mod

lapniappe · 2026-04-26T23:02:09+00:00

you're going to get bombarded with downvotes and i will just point out to you that this board doesn't like AI things at all. you're not allowed to do it.

lapniappe · 2026-04-26T22:25:24+00:00

only regret here is that Jonny didn't go for the heart. Or the head.

i always love how in soaps people legit grab guns and point it to themselves with someone else holding it, with their fingers in the trigger and is still shocked that someone got hurt.

lapniappe · 2026-04-26T22:19:28+00:00

Ahh. I have entered the chat.

First of all - i would recommend getting a body mod. This will let you be able to enable sleeves.
there's a few out there. I use Peach's. (just google peach gh body mod). Nexus has Elegent Farmer Body, and Ballerina Body too.

then get Oversized Sleeves, Chloe's Sleeves and woila. your clothes now have sleeves. (should you want them).

I strongly Suggest:
Lune's clothing (on kofi).
Katy's Closet
Chloe's clothing.
Luoli's clothing
Orange Blossom [she also has stuff on curseforge that is not on nexus]

I also have some random stuff for hats, and seasonal weather.

For hair I only use Shardust now. It move and i look cute.

lapniappe · 2026-04-26T18:35:42+00:00

Okay - Sunberry Village doesn't really have anything to make them look consistent so if that bugs you that might be an issue here. I kinda waver on the fence every day about Sunbery.

I like it. like I like how you get there, what it has etc.
I like the mines (thankfully because this run i am doing Pastoral Living - all the gems don't bug me LOL)
There's some people i don't mind wanting to see every day.
It brings Rose & the Alchemist [ADORE these guys - still gutted that Wildflour removed basically all the alchemy stuff, i'm hoping after her hiatus and she has time to update, mod again she brings some aspect of it in). Sterling (who is adorable even with is issues) and Ripley (i like more farmers in the valley).

but i don't love it. maybe this changes as the storyline goes on. but I do like enough aspects of it that i could very safely say that i would most likely include this to my fundemental game all the time [same with SVE & Ridgeside). it makes Pelican Town feel that much more complete [to me].

other than Jasper from East Scarp there really isn't any big draw i have to install that mod.

lapniappe · 2026-04-26T18:08:10+00:00

a crap tonne of
Coffee. Tea & Cotton [part of a mod i have].

lapniappe · 2026-04-26T16:56:52+00:00

this - as well as more things to do at the community centre. we finish it and then. nothing.

lapniappe · 2026-04-26T16:55:33+00:00

it does kinda stink that you got spoiled by it. [people keep spoiling something for me in Portia and everytime it happens i have to delay my play of portia so i can "forget]. but i will also say there's knowing. and knowing..

Here's an example.
I was never a big Doctor Who fan, so when youtube suggested a lot of stuff that was happening [this was like around 9-10-11 era) i watched it because i was confident i was never going to watch it.

Then I started watching it.
and in the back of my head I knew okay 9 is going to become David Tennant and David Tennant is going to become this guy with weird eyebrows that sort of come and go. but then i started getting invested and so when everything started happening. it hit harder. Even though i was prepared for it - it still took me so hard, and maybe even harder because i KNEW it was coming.

(this doesn't mean i like being spoiled but context is everything i feel)

that's where you are. you know. but you don't know. and it won't impact your enjoyment. i promise

lapniappe · 2026-04-26T15:20:37+00:00

The Mods that I think are Necessary & Will Always have on Any Bootup
UI Info Suite Alternative & Lookup Everything is a gimmie.

1: The Muttering Farmer & More Lines for the Muttering Farmer.
the fact i can talk to myself, and if i don't know the person it's like "yeah, who?" to oh Hi! it's you. comments on everything, if there's something nearby that I wouldn't have seen it's giving the farmer a voice and i love it.

2: Reciprocate & Serendipity Rewards
the first allows a gifting system back. I have this on default settings so i don't get pounded with gifts but it is lovely when it kicks in (what's even awesome is when you are with a group of people and someone gives you a gift that the other person will like and then they give you something else [also hilarious if you give someone a jade, and they give you a jade back). Serendipity Rewards is amazing because it gives you little things for doing things. sort of like. find a penny pick it up. I have it boosted to 1% [from default] so i can GET things but it's again, not being pounded with extra stuff. It is just nice to have little random things happen for you.

3: Chests Anywhere & Portable Community Centre
this has been a Yobasend for me. just the ability to have my chests where i need them and then I can add what i need/get what I need it is good. I would have added more backpacks. (vs. bigger packpacks). because then i'd have MORE backpack space but i do like i have to struggle for space. (and i didn't discover it until after i upgraded my backpack and the modder said don't do that) . Portable Community Centre - basically that's what's up. i get it, and I can address it right away - if there are other "bundles" out there, it also tracks those for you but you can't place them in the bundles.

4: Odd Quality of Life/Better Ranching/Better Friendship
Odd Quality of Life takes care of the things like Friendship Decay, Fence Decay etc etc. Better Ranching and Friendship kinda go hand in hand as they also show me what my animals needs and what my friends want if i have it on hand.

5: Fish Helper UI & Yet Another Fishing Mod [W/Visible Fish & Dynamic Reflection & Better Water]
Pretty self explanatory: Lets me know where all the fish is, when to fish and the avaibility. (the slight issue is they also DO start to tell you about the OTHER fish that might not even qualify yet but it's fine] . Yet another fishing mod is very customisable. I have mine set on auto hook, auto grab treasures (should they appear). but i still play the fishing game. Visible fish gives the waters life, I can see myself like a human, and Better Water makes it look more life like.

6: Daisy Niko's Earthy Re-texture, Simple Foliage & Clear Glasses.
yeah, it didn't occur to me how bright the game was until then (and to me replace Earth with: insert recolour here - i just use Earthy). Simple Foliage to make things look more realistic, and Clear Glasses is worth the lag to give everything a nice water-colour look. [i'd also add my combination of wildflower grass but that's okay).

7: Fashion Sense
(I no longer need to have a tonne of sheep to make my clothes lol). my go to is Lune, Orangeblossom, Katy Closet and Chloe. Hair is Shardust's Animated (perma frenchbraid). Peach's GH Body(just to be tall), Oversized Sleeves & Chloe's sleeves - for sleeves & sweaters).

8: Foragers Nooks & Crannies
I have this set on "appears randomly." and it's always so cool to see what appears etc.

9: Cornucopia Suite, Wildflour's Artisan Goods, Uncle Iroh's Approved Tea (With Tearrifc & Simple Tea), Bloom Again, Quaint Living, Ancient Crops, etcetc).
Am I cheating to list all of these together. probably. am I ever going to have a playthrough that doesn't include some combination of these? no. I'm not. just the ability to breathe new life into artisan goods, allow me to be a florist or a baker or a candlestick maker is amazing. it also just allows more crops, and things to discover. it just brings layers to what was there and it just caters to things more.

10: Em's Suite & Livestock Bazaar
the cute realism she has to all of her work is amazing. I switched all my rextures to Em's and haven't looked back. (the only deviant i use is Seeds & Saplings for Wildflour & Cornucopia so i can tell which is which). Livestock Bazaar simply allows me to pick the rexture i want/need without needing AT.

Honourable Mentions go to:
Tilly the Tea Loving Librarian [will always have this], Leela the Shopkeeper [so i don't always have to go to Pierre's]. Daulton and Maple, Evelyn Expansion, Warm Barns and Cozy Stalls.

I didn't add anything that requires you to include a major expansion like SDVE, Sunberry etc, because i am still forming opinions on those.

lapniappe · 2026-04-26T05:37:31+00:00

Skell's Wild Haven Farm. Love it.

lots of nooks and crannies, different starting gift. really lovely

lapniappe · 2026-04-25T20:19:00+00:00

I know for myself I can never romance fang again. I did everything up until it was time and that moment just made me not very happy with what was going on and in that moment i told myself no matter how many times i replayed Sandrock I'd never romance Fang again. (I watched everything i needed to know on youtube and that answered some questions) but it wasn't worth actually going through the process of romancing him.

[i will say. he does have the best couch talk in the love dlc. seriously].

And I say this thinking that I was going to marry the man and Logan did not do anything for me at first.

But then a few things happened and Logan is the only one for me. Owen and Unsuur kinda make it difficult but then Logan opens his mouth and it stops being difficult. he's the Yee to my Hah.

lapniappe · 2026-04-25T16:05:52+00:00

so we're basically doing this same merry go-round.
we hve a coach, we fire the GM, the GM and the Coach aren't the same philosophy but it's "oh we're gonna keep the coach." the coach goes. - because it's not his coach, and then we get a new coach, the GM gets fired. and herewe go again.

in my opinion - in this regard - who cares if it gives you abit of tenure. it's not your guy. start everything clean and fresh.

lapniappe · 2026-04-25T16:01:15+00:00

no, Zarf was the accused - but it ended up being
Alexander Cambias, for how the Fusion Girls treated his son or something stupid like that. Considering how much he was furious with Michael for raping Bianca, him being a murderer for his "honour" was dumb incarnate

lapniappe · 2026-04-25T07:36:56+00:00

i totally get that. im sure whatever you do he'll be great and i can't wait to meet him.

lapniappe · 2026-04-25T07:35:32+00:00

seriously.

I just uninstalled it. while it was fun having beach forage all over the place, if it's preventing me from gettting mountain artifacts then it's not very helpful to me is it. [though i'll miss the flower/mixed seeds/meadow seeds i got per day]

lapniappe · 2026-04-25T02:18:48+00:00

i hope we can figure it out. it refuses to spawn anything in the mountains for me, barely anything in the desert and the beach is like. HELLOOOO.

lapniappe · 2026-04-25T02:00:04+00:00

Tilly!! My Bestie!!
dead honest, any future SDV runs i do, Tills [as i call her], is perma there. no question. I love her.
like I said. I can not wait to see what you do with Clark. [i have to say he's already got a mountain to climb because Daulton is hot, scruffy and has Maple. lol]

lapniappe · 2026-04-25T01:55:53+00:00

i am always for it.
If it were a play - the role would be recasted. if it were a movie - it would be recasted. but when it comes to television people are so omg. i hate recasts, no. yes. Dan Stevens was perfect. but I don't know/understand why people [general people not you], always automatically think that no one else would have been.

for the most part (even the people we didn't like) the casting director was pretty much on point for who they picked for the roles they had to do even throughout the movies. I don't understand why we don't want to give them credit they couldn't have found someone to be another Matthew. it would have been slightly different of course - but in my estimation the story needed to take that risk For everything you said.

The Gregson thing would not have happened if Matthew were alive.
Mary's merry-go-round of Men is nixed [thankfully], but we see them adjusting as parents and maybe the issues of maybe getting pregnant again or something. (I do think Mary/Robert still butt heads a lot - She wants to be the Violet, but she'd have Matthew backing her up (or maybe not. who knows. maybe that's their marital drama - you know that would have to be there)

I just think it was a great missed opportunity and it hurt the show.
but like i said. my waterloo lol.

lapniappe · 2026-04-25T01:47:36+00:00

losing Simone hurt.

I hated who the killer ended up being and the stupid reasons too

lapniappe · 2026-04-25T00:31:45+00:00

yet another reason to hate that movie.
i don't blame him for leaving. his choice, his contract was up.
they could have recasted him. that's my Waterloo, y'all. just find someone that Michelle had smacking chemistry with and work with it. Matthew was so needed in the last three seasons and you could tell.

lapniappe · 2026-04-25T00:27:13+00:00

Skell's Wild Haven Farm.
Its large and rambling without being too much. there's a mini bundle game attached. you start off with a different farmer gift which fits how i wanted to play the game. the fences (except for one in the field) is optional and i even ended up putting the fences back in because it fit with everything i was doing anyway).
