To Serve & Protect - Show Off Your Sims in Military or Police Uniform.

Nikkei_Simmer

Some of you have Sims in the military or police occupations. And well...everybody loves a Sim in uniform. Post your Military/Police Sims...

Here's a few of mine.

Hi!

I have both my police station and military base on the same lot and they're both open workplaces so I decided to drop by today and watch what was going on while my sim was off riding his horse elsewhere.

Here's the front of the police building side, let's see what is going on inside.







Someone peeking in the window?

It's Bullet Grunt. When the Grunt's emigrated from Strangetown, Buzz bought the dog for Buck to help with the transition.


The military building is located on the same lot on a different street.

Wow! I love your photos!

Thanks @xxnearlyperfectx

@Jessa_Dakkar - did you use rabbithole rugs for the open military base and police station?

They look awesome.

Jessa_Dakkar

@Nikkei_Simmer I do use rabbithole rugs in conjunction with Zerbu's Ultimate Careers mod. I was only going to open one two careers, buuuuuuttttt.... it hasn't turned out that way.

Here is one of my town's boys in blue in action, apprehending a burglar at my sim's home. The officer is a vampire, which explains his glowing eyes.
I do very much wish that EA had designed the arresting officer to escort the criminal to the rabbithole and walk them in, instead of driving a short distance and disappearing.

The Admiral with his son and daughter.


The Admiral; a former naval aviator.


A temporary place-holder uniform for Midshipman Nakamura, I have to muck around in TSR Workshop...and come up with a midshipman's uniform...based on the Sims Navy Uniform.


Jamie's regular every-day utilities that he'll use for when he's doing his part-time NROTC.

Are you certain that the horse isn't drawing wishes to sing karaoke? She might be very good at it if she gives it a try...

Whoa, there. Looks to me like she would be a heck of a gal up on the stage. (read this last part quickly, wait for it...)


Okay okay, I'll just see myself out.

Here's Spencer telling his wife Annie about his promotion to squad leader.



And here he is changed into his new uniform.

Fantastic looking uniforms and singing horses aside, may I ask something here? I've played sims in the Military, but I've never understood this myself and really considered them to be more interested in the space program. Although I think I can see a purpose for a Coast Guard perhaps. Other than that, what exactly are they protecting our worlds from? Is there an element of the game I must be missing where Bridgeport routinely attacks Sunset Valley or something and the rest of the worlds in play all take sides? Is a well-staffed and trained military necessary for a deterrent of some sort?

Or are some things just better off on a Need to Know basis?

Sooner or later, every society has a recession, and even the occasional depression. Wages drop, unemployment goes up, citizens get restless. This is just as true in sims towns as anywhere else—even in good times, half the population will gather in front of city hall on some random Sunday just to scream unintelligible insults at an empty building.

How does a government go about ensuring its own survival with such a volatile and demanding population? By printing more money and spending the society back into economic health, of course. But people tend to resent it when their tax simoleons to towards such frivolous exercises as supporting the arts, bankrolling innovative startups, or (heaven forbid) investing in the education of the next generation. The military, on the other hand... well, who's going to say no to a fleet of fighter jets parked at the local airfield? Especially if they're built in town and staffed by locals. Patriotism is contagious and a loud and convenient answer to every possible objection. And of course, the space race scratches the universal societal need to be the best at something, even if the erstwhile opponent is merely some vague (reddish?) menace lurking just offscreen.

Think I'm reading too much into this? That maybe I'm seeing parallels that aren't actually there? I ask you, then, why are you guaranteed such high sale prices for your produce, if not because the government is trying to stave off the next depression with some ridiculous farm subsidies? I mean, your garden is great, but §28 for a "perfect" potato? Every single time you go to the store? Who do you think you're kidding? There's no way this happens without some serious meddling behind the scenes.

Having said all this, I do have to admit there's something compelling about a guy in uniform, who has a big gun and knows how to use it. And I'm pretty sure that's not just me.

igazor

As it so happens, our developer has looked into the possibility of adding a supply and demand based economics system onto this game. Flood the market with those perfect potatoes that no one else needs in high quantities and guess what's going to happen to their price. A worldwide potato shortage would of course have the opposite effect. He's set that one aside in favor of other NRaas projects since then but it all sounded very interesting from a theoretical point of view. I find it difficult to take the concept of world economy and threats of such things as hyperinflation seriously though in a game where the local residents can grow and harvest money bags on trees. Usually have my gardening sims grow one then destroy it after the first harvest just so they get credit for the crop type.

No comment on the "big gun" thing, I'll leave it to someone else to take that and run with it.

But when we have real life family reunions, the classic Risk board game still features prominently on the entertainment schedule. I can't seem to get the image of "Okay, Bridgeport is attacking Sunset Valley and I'm rolling three dice" out of my silly head.

Nikkei_Simmer

I usually tend to do some "Red Menace lurking off-screen". The Sims Armed Forces are basically a deterrent and when the "Watcher" decides that there is some need for a story-line involving armed conflict, then well...that's when the armed forces ends up getting a larger story-line.

Omg. I need to get this mod immediately. How come I've never heard about this?! It's awesome!

Jessa_Dakkar

@Simmortality Here is the link to that mod http://zerbu.blogspot.co.uk/2013/12/ultimate-careers-v4.html I hope you have as much fun with it as I am having!

Sorry; as the “originator” of this thread; I’m giving it a big boot back to the top.

@Nikkei_Simmer I men in uniforms. My daddy was Air Force. I expect that is what started it.

I love the detail you've added to your uniforms.

Nikkei_Simmer

@bekkasan; One of these days; if I can master Blender and Milkshape, I’mgoing to try and make choker dress whites as well as redo the Mess-dress whites. . And I also want to replace the Sims Military cap-device with the Eagle, Shield and crossed anchors of the USN. And of course Mac has to have the proper subdued Eagle, Globe and Anchor of the USMC.

I want to make sure that the shoulder-boards don’t look like they were just painted on but an actual separate piece on the shoulder, the way they’re supposed to look.
