File:Lindsay Van Gould Patronises Divinea Van Gould

I'm not entirely sure when exactly I first got the idea to record a video featuring an older Sim patronising a younger Sim in The Sims 3, but according to my notes, I got the idea on the 20th May this year. Therefore it is the second new video of The Sims 3 that I have recorded that is based on a concept that I got the idea to record earlier this year.

This video took one attempt to get right. Since my game options were reset after I recorded my previous upload "Penalty Shoot-out", I forgot to make sure that opportunities were suppressed. So the opportunity sound effect can be heard at one point during this video. I took a second recording which would have made the cut, had the sound not contained a massive skip. The skip in my opinion was worse than the opportunity sound effect, so I decided to go with this recording instead.

This video features Lindsay Van Gould patronising her PlantSim stepdaughter Divinea. This video is not considered canon to my gameplay, so no relationships were tarnished during the making of this video, although they would have been if I had saved the game afterwards. I've been wanting to do a video featuring the patronising interaction for quite a while now, because I find it cute and sad at the same time.

I found Lindsay to be the perfect candidate for the patroniser, because she is quite friendly, but also haughty and snobbish. And I've never shown her bad sides before in any of my videos. Unless you count her helping to set Bonehildas on Edward Van Gould in one of my previous uploads "Running Away from Bonehilda". Divinea was on her last day as a child here, and I knew that it wouldn't be possible to patronise her once she became a teenager. So I needed to get this video out of the way.

I had to replace Divinea's Good trait with the Grumpy trait, because she would have actually succumbed to Lindsay's patronising otherwise. This video was taken on the 2nd July 2020, slightly less than 2 hours ago. So it's brand new. Enjoy! :)
