This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
Wouldn't it be awesome if they just made an Utena expansion for the Sims? Okay, wishful thinking, but it'd be so cool. I'd never leave my laptop at home.

Well if they did have an expansion pack, I wanna be able to design tall phallic shaped towers, birdcage gardens, upside down castles, features that allow the characters to duel, a magic cowbell that well eventually turn any wearer into a cow and of cause the Rose Bride feature that allows you to pull a sword out of someones stomach.

Man, I hate you people - I just have the regular, plain old original Sims - I merely entertain myself by putting Nomar Garciaparra, Lou Merloni (both baseball players, rumored to have been very good, uh, "friends"), and Mia Hamm (former soccer player, Nomar's wife) in a house together to watch Lou and Mia fight over Nomar. I'm not capable of this high-level of gameplay you guys all do!

*laughs* I really want to see a picture of that. Please, please, please tell me you got a screen cap.
Better yet, I have multiple screenshots of it.
I was wrong. It was Anthy and Utena's car. This is a old picture. Shiori has her previous hairstyle, Kozue's hair is lighter, Ruka isn't even wearing the right clothes, and Juri's hair isn't correct either.
Nothing good ever seems to come from Shiori and cars. First she dies in a car crash as the car, and then she gets run over by Juri. XD I wonder where Juri was returning home from? Maybe she's been drinking.

I love the original sims games. I have an Anthy and Utena sim on there too, but they look scary. I wouldn't mind jealousy nearly as much on The Sims 2 if they handled it like the sims in the original version of the game do. Rather than crying and slap each other, they walk up to their unloyal lover and "fiery" kiss them as though to say, "She's mine, bitch."

If she hadn't been drinking before, she would have after finding out that she'd run over Shiori. I mean, really... hasn't she been through enough already?

My new years resolution is to get Nightlife for The Sims!
Then perhaps University down the road.
Thanks guys! Between the screenshots and the stories from them, I've rediscovered my Sims addiction.

I really love your sims, i used to have the black rose duelist in my sims too, but my computer was formated one month ago and i've lost everything, i'm so sad...
Please, bring us more screenshots, when you can, is so funny....

Superhero... Prince... Same thing, right?
There's a Supervillian job as well, but I've never been able to get any of my sims to the top of that career. Something else always comes up. But really, you have to see it in action just to believe how funny Utena looks when she flies to work.
There's something about seeing Nanami dance to her own duel song that makes me laugh.
Nanami is probably the best dancer out of all my sims, but the way Juri dances is my favorite. Even with high dancing skills, she somehow managed to make a dance that is the greatest thing I've ever seen, as well as the most pathetic thing I've ever seen. On the Dance Station of the TV, I have a video of Juri dancing that plays on that channel. It's not an embarrassing dance, but just one that requires as little movement as possible. The only thing better than the way Juri dances is seeing the entire Utena cast dance "The Smustle," a dance that looks like a cross between horseback riding and acting like a zombie.
This is why Juri isn't allowed near the stove anymore.
Honestly, I can't imagine how Juri managed to set the house of fire with 10 cooking. Kozue does this more often, though. During college, she put something in the oven and left the house for her final exam. Another time she left something on the stove when Ruka called their house. Anthy tends to accidentally set things on fire as well. Touga hasn't been allowed to cook ever since he started the fire that killed Saionji and Wakaba.
There was one fire that was my own fault. Juri and Shiori were cuddling on the couch, the fireplace was lit, and the entire scene looked very romantic. Just as I was about to take a picture, the carpet in front of the fireplace set on fire. Luckily Kozue was nearby with her cellphone, so neither of them were hurt. Really, I'm not sure whether the carpet was placed in front of the fireplace when I bought that house, or if years of playing The Sims have taught me nothing. The most important rule to remember when playing The Sims is not to put things in front of the fireplace.
Arr, to the open seas, matey! I am a pirate. Today I set sail on the seven seas with my hundreds of men. The precious treasures of the world belong to me!
There's fanart of Juri as a pirate, isn't there? I know that I've at least read a fanfiction where she is. So here's a picture of Juri standing in the bathtub and pretending that she's a pirate. That color actually looks really nice on her...
I'm so evil. ):
This isn't the exact picture that I mention earlier, but close to it. Poor Juri. The things she goes through... I've never understood how she can get mad at Shiori for cheating on her with Kozue when she's cheating on Shiori with Kozue as well. Of course, now that I have that Anti-Jealousy potion I won't have to worry about that anymore... Well, that's not entirely true. Yesterday the effects of the potion wore off while Kozue and Shiori were kissing, and Juri was in the same room at the time. They've been unusually unfriendly to each other ever since.

Do you have any requests for pictures of him that you would like to be taken? I can get a picture of him doing almost anything. If not, I'll come up with something myself. For now, I only have one other picture of him.
Hehe... There are triangles on the floor.
I love the chair symbolism.

There's fanart of Utena and Anthy as pirate. (Well ok, Utena as a pirate and Anthy as a sea-wench.)
I don't remember one of Juri, though.

Actually, the order should be...
Sims 2(any version) -> University -> Nightlife -> Open For Business -> Pets -> whatever the next expansion is going to be called(but it's got seasons, allegedly)
The Family Fun Stuff and Glamour Life Stuff packs could be added at any point, I think, but don't hold me to that.

Well you could easily have Mikage burn things... hehe, even if it's just a Poptart or Toaster Strudel...

Yeah, but I meant the photo-shopped series pics. I seriously saved those to my hard drive.
I = dork.
Anyway, this is really making me want to play The Sims wicked bad. Damn you people, I have exams this week and I'm getting the feeling this is going to end up being detrimental to my actually studying!

It's okay, I have dorky things saved to my hard drive so you're not the only one.

I love this thread, it's like watching bad (good) fanfics. Kozue and Shiori making out, much to Juri's dismay, is gold.
And yet still no Touga/Saionji??? I really don't get it, if SKU were Fushigi Yuugi or something, we'd be god damn drowning in Touga/Saionji yaoi. I guess with the lesbians around all the good artists are busy drawing magic penises on Utena.

Ask and ye shall receive.
And Giovanna, I'm all about the Touga/Saionji. I'm not really one for taking snapshots as I play, but I do have these:
Boys will be boys.
Again.
This is how Saionji greeted Touga when Touga first came to check out Saionji's dorm.
Apologies for their lack of uniforms (but that sweater is cute on Saionji); I'll fix that when I go home for Christmas, as well as post some of the snapshots from my first Utena Sims.

Does anyone know the cheat-code for the original Sims game that allows you to get as much money as you want? I haven't played the Sims in about half a year, and I forgot >_<
I'm getting really tempted to get the Sims 2 now, though...

My god that's the most randomly awesome thing ever. The second one's awesome, I love Mikage's little grin.
Also, Touga and Saionji act exactly the way I always imagined they do!

*giggles* The animated Mikage with the little grin and licking his lips is priceless.
