What Are Our Sims Life Goals?? We Take a Sims Life Aspiration Quiz!

[@oriolgonzalez9328]

I realized why I love this "weird" Sunday videos: they are, in essence, the second half of Show Of the Weekend. We've had quizzes, arts-and-crafts...

[@ApophisProminence]

Yeah, I miss the Show of the Weekend a lot. It was mindless fun all around.

[@neolexiousneolexian6079]

Yeah, I hadn't watched as much Oxboxtra lately, but I instantly got SoTWE vibes when this video started.

[@betteryou7hanme]

My biggest fear is being rejected by the ghosts of the family i lost in a fire, when they find out I lost my job. Also Centipedes.

[@Storyman09]

Honestly, not even joking now, centipedes are *freaky.*

[@iout]

​@@Storyman09 Centipedes are absolutely terrifying. It's basically what happens when you cross a spider and a snake.

[@shashwatsharma2596]

My biggest fear is losing my family of giant centipedes because my job of being a professional arsonist was taken over by ghosts.

[@darkpulsegirl2627]

So...Ellen's an author and Luke's living in a cave behind a waterfall with hundreds of pigeons and one fox lmao

[@marhawkman303]

Until the fox finds a lady fox friend, then.... things get interesting.

[@JachAnen]

Well at least he wont need to feed the fox for a while and the pigeons will become cheaper to feed

[@Chris_Sizemore]

I'm just imagining Luke, the fox and most of the pigeons lying on the cave floor sweating to death, all of them complaining about the heat and the humidity killing them.

[@nightmarethrenody8232]

Luke doesn’t want pets, he wants his own ecosystem.

[@docette2015]

I love how giggly Ellen gets during these videos, it's very cute. And I think what might have tipped you over was picking the island AND gardening, Luke -- the quiz somehow confused "loves plants" with "loves animals." XD

[@coffeeaddict9605]

Ooof. Ellen mentioning the Purple Sofa made me nostalgic. I really hope Show of The Weekend comes back when it's safe to do so. But their safety is the most important.

[@maxvel0city906]

Same.

[@Taracinablue]

Fun fact: Being irritated by chewing noises is one manifestation of a thing called misophonia, which is a brain condition where certain noises cause irritation or even anger. For example: crinkly packages, bubbles popping, chewing, crunching, blowing gum bubbles, sniffing, nose blowing, snorting... there are more. I can't stand being in a quiet room where someone is eating; I need music/noise or to leave. Even when it's just me eating, I prefer having music or a video playing.

[@NihilistCrab]

100% feel you there, my family are loud chewers too which can be infuriating if there's no other noise to distract me from it.

[@duskthorn_ab]

Interesting. Got a friend that can hear his kids chewing across a room through TV-noise and ambient dialogue. His mother is the same way. Personally, I draw the line at when someone's not muting the mic while chewing on a Skype/discord- call.

[@Artificer1911]

18:40 I've been to the rabbit island. If you ever get to go, don't forget to stop by the Poison Gas Pavilion. It's only 100m from the beach!

[@carakiriyama1602]

Luke: "Being on time is really easy!" Me: *weeps in ADHD* 😅

[@danielollett9783]

Hearing Jon's chuckle over the top of Ellen and Luke's laughing made me smile. Keep doing what you're doing you three 😁

[@Nakker42]

Think we need to make a tally for the ammount of times Luke has threatened to delete the channel.

[@frodobaggins7710]

I really want to read this Luke Westaway/Dr. Dolittle fanfiction now

[@pretergeek]

Living in an island, alone, thinking about animal breeding technics, Luke risks ending more like Dr. Moreau. And Ellen would write about it.

Luke Westaway was fucking murdered!

[@SaaitanK]

We all need a pop-up Jon in our lives.

[@amakky1989]

That’s producer Jon for you!

[@Crisjola]

Luke you just described (with the late thing) an entire friendship I had in University where I'd plan to meet up with a good friend and then deliberately schedule other things to do because he was terrible at time management so if we were going to get together at 3 I'd see him at 5:30-6. Eventually he asked me why I'd be studying before him (we shared classes) or why I stopped being frustrated with his absurd lateness, and was stunned to discover that I realized he would be two to three *hours* late so I just planned accordingly. That being said, I just adjusted my "let's get together at X time" by saying "oh yeah, come over at 1 o'clock" if I wanted him there at three. To the point of the question, though: people being rude to waiters who are literally just trying their best (and oh my god if I go out with friends and no one but me tips I always cover my friends' tips because I feel terrible.)

[@sarahvvvv3143]

Yay!!! I love these Sunday videos! We basically have show of the weekend back in a mini form! Thank you so much for Sunday fun!!!!

[@patrickalexander9102]

“Animal lover? How dare you not let me be an island hermit! Fine, I’ll be the pigeon lady from Home Alone 2.” Honestly, this is the only natural course to take.

[@nudgificator]

I had a friend who was always 20-30 minutes late for things we'd arranged. Rather than start arriving later myself or arrange to meet in places with spots to wait, I started telling them the meeting time was half an hour earlier than it needed to be. Usually I'd still get there first but only by a few minutes.

[@jocosesonata]

*_Ellen Rose, Daughter of Two Librarians._* Sounds like a good book. I imagine a Palace-like library filled with all sorts of forbidden and unknown texts, whose knowledge is sought-after by all weirdos and villains, and her parents are the powerful protectors of this library. They'll teach her what to do, what not to do, what codexes she should never read, why she should not trust people easily, and of course they will also teach her combat training, even some magic so that she may better guard the library.

I would have to describe myself as a dog lover. I feed and pet the strays in Mexico. They also tend to like me. Also some cats. One tried to climb up my leg the moment I stopped petting her and when my cousin lifted her up she grabbed by jacket and tried to pull herself to me.

Oh, about a person being always late, so often that it's almost certain they won't be on time... I'm that person. Like my friends literally tell me to be there a half hour earlier than they want me to be (and from time to time end up surprised). And I would feel really bad about it, but my wife heard in a radio around year ago about a condition called time optimism. And well, as funny as it sounds, I suffer from it, so I feel excused to a degree. And also I tend to tell newly met people that when we schedule a meeting I might be late, and not because I don't value their time but simply because no matter how impossible it will be for me to be on time I will still believe I'll make it :x

I barely read at all, and it's nice to hear someone else share my opinion - even if it is probably a joke lol.

Note: I'm rubbish at art.

[@Manganra7]

I chose “leaving you on read” not because of text messages, but because of a person on the forum I frequent. There was one person in particular who was always asking me questions, and I always tried to answer them. Then that person would completely ignore me. Wouldn’t acknowledge I’d answered the question, wouldn’t follow up, wouldn’t thank me. Would just ignore me and talk to someone else. I got so tired of the impoliteness of it all, I have that person permanently on ignore. (There were other reasons too, not just being impolite.) The “leave on read” made me think of that.

Just like the Pokemon video, I had no interest in the Sims (never actuyally played the games) and yet fully enjoyed this video. It's nice to learn a bit more about your personalities and I agree with Luke, some options for certain questions are not on the same scale than others. It's true for "Dog lover" that will have to be seriously big if you want it to outclass Outgoing or Creative while describing your personality but also, someone reaaaaaally need to hate ghosts or bugs to pick those options over losing your familiy or being rejected (there's definitely some bugs that I'm not a fan of but I would spend all my week ends with the most disgusting one if it means I could keep my family or the people I love).

Someone being late isn't so much of a problem for me. What gets me is when they find out that they're going to be late but don't keep me updated. Setting the expectation that they're going to be on time and not following through is the problem. Don't send an expectation you can't meet. As soon as you know that your plans are changing, update the people with whom you have set the expectation. Period. Why is this so difficult for some people to understand?
