This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
These photos are hilarious, Naji . But I must say that the Sim creator in this part makes the Sims look very unrealistic and creepy even (at Saionji me lol'd)

I...I freaking worship you. Seriously, that's the funniest thing I've seen all day. Now I miss my Mrs. Ohtori sim. Oh, and I didn't know there were male maids in the game. Go Akio!

I've been playing with these guys more than I'd like to admit. With over 700 images to choose from, I'm resigned to sharing highlights.
First, a fun fact: Masterminds of Evil (like Akio) glow red and people run away from them screaming!
Oh, Nanami.
She's so herself!
The first thing Mikage wanted when I used him was to "See Mamiya's Ghost." That suited me just fine.
(Yes, those are ovens.)
It worked out for the best.
You know what else worked out for the best?
Miki and Kanae!
Even if she does make creepy faces sometimes...
I also wanted to try my hand at shadow girls, inspired by seeing Razara's little tot!
Getting the grim reaper to move in with their mom was a bitch, but produced excellent results!
I love my crazy Kashira, Kashira household.
Juri, yelling at Ruka after another attempt at romance on his part.
Pregnant!Shiori isn't much of a charmer either, though luckily for Juri, this progression didn't save.
DON'T TOUCH MY MEMORIES, MAN.
What a good father Touga is! To Saionji's kids, at least. Not so much to Keiko's, Kozue's or Shiori's.
But he's definitely not a good fiancee. Not at all.
Spoiler alert!
It's the end... Sims 3 style!
Akio and Utena did fight, but I took the video at a point before I realized I had sound disabled. She lost the first time, but beat him in the end! As a side note, I wish there were semi-decent rose bride-esque clothing in S3, but alas there is not!
However, I did manage to find most everyone better hair! These are the results.
Mikage/Nemuro, being predictable.
Wakaba, having fun with her sprinkler.
Mari, gossiping with Mitsuru.
Tokiko, adopting a baby (his name is Faust!).
Juri, about to have twins (Hyouko and Yuri).
Utena, being asked by D-ko about what gender she is and what gender her possible partner might be.
Saionji, all prego with his son, Eiji by his side.
Ruka, being talked to/about by D-ko on the phone.
Kozue, thrilled to be alive again! (It's a long story.)
And, as a bonus, here is Chigusa, hating on poor, dead Dios.

I finally have the game reinstalled. Happy, happy, joy, joy!
Here is Kozue talking to her sister-in-law Anthy outside of their house. They actually started out as pretty good friends.
Until Anthy caught Kozue sleeping next to her brother! You can't see it too well, but she took her spot.
Saionji visits the Kaorus and marvels over Miki's musical talent. Now if only, he would make some money off of it instead of letting Kozue bring home all the bacon! She's the only one in her house with a job!
Saionji bashfully gets ready to hold Kozue's hand. Awww. He's absolutely crazy about her for some reason.
On the other hand, he hates Anthy so much that he declared her his archenemy from the moment they met! I think the first thing she did was insult him.
Ruka/Touga, anyone?
I'm surprised they're so faithful to each other, although they were attracted to each other every time I remade my sims. I should have just made them a couple from the beginning.
Here's their first woohoo. What's hilarious is that one of the first things Ruka did afterward was ask him to take out the garbage. I think he's sleeping with him so he doesn't have to do the housework.

These pictures are all great!
Have you all heard about the upcoming Sims expansion pack yet? The Sims 3: Ambitions! Seems like Mikage will be making up for the Nemuro Hall incident by becoming a firefighter!

Riri-kins thanks for the Ruka/Touga pic's. They are cute and no doubt fueling fantasies as we speak.

You're welcome, Sexing. You were the one who made me like this pairing, after all.

Yep. I'm still getting used to the regular game, but if you can get shots of that, I will freaking worship you.
My goal is to have Touga sleep with as many people as possible and pair off any kids my Utena sims have, so I am finally happy to show off my first pregancy/baby screenshots!
Kozue was first to get knocked up...by Saionji! I forgot to watch her hunger while she was pregnant, so she stole a random townie's lunch.
Here she is telling Saionji the good news. He was actually pretty indifferent.
Finally, she brings home their son. Meet Baby Yoji. He looks a lot like his daddy.
Neither Miki nor his now teenage son Wolfgang seem to care about the new baby much. Anthy was the only sim who really played with Yoji on her own.
Dios and Utena share some tender moments.
Aww, aren't they cute? Dios is gonna be such a good daddy. These are my favorite pictures from the game.
Neither of my Saionji sim's roommates like him very much.
Typical Saionji!
But Ruka's no pushover!
Ouch! Poor guy.

I recently started playing Sims 2 and I made a Utena living in her own place, and Anthy and Akio living as siblings,(mistake). Anthy started a total of three fires before I decided she needed to move the hell out and play with Utena.
I gave both Utena and Anthy family ambitions, but Anthy's fears the entire time have been along the lines of getting engaged to Utena...Getting married to Utena, etc. And, true to form, right after woohoo-ing () all Anthy can think about is how great it would be to have sex with 3 different sims, then meet someone new, and ever since she first started dating Utena she thought of how she'd like to be in love with 2 people at once.
Meanwhile Utena is oblivious and thinking about how she wants to adopt a kid and make out with Anthy all the time.
As an added bonus, I called their house Rosehips,

Oh god I want to play this game.

Fucking jealous, guys. I have Sims 3 (Had it since it came out last summer) yet I can't play it because my desktop's video card is fail and my laptop's broken and without an external disc drive. I will play soon though!

D: If it makes you feel any better I have a bunch of extenion packs that are only good for XP when I have now upgraded to vista.
On another note, guys I've tried building Akio's place 4 times already and the construction alone is driving me insane.

Ahahaha! xD I love the screenshots in this thread! Sims make me laugh at times.
Unfortunately, whereas I have made Utena, Akio and Anthy in my sims 3 game, I'm useless at taking screenshots when something interesting happens. The best I have is this shot of the three of them sitting on a sofa together.
Utena kinda has a "I just farted!" look. And Anthy looks disguisted. ><
Other than that, all I can offer is...uh...
Star Trek SKU!
I'll try and take some more amusing screenshots. My sims are boring, they just seem to want to play computer games all the time. Akio is somehow incredibly popular outside his own household, so he goes to a lot of parties. Including this sim's wedding.
He's apparently complimenting her on her house or something...
Oh! Here's something kinda Akio-ish. Here he's at a party, talking to the host...
...then he goes outside to hit on the host's sister!

I love this thread.

This topic is making me actually want to buy the Sims 3 (I own 1 and 2, not 3 though), namely just so I can have Utena sims. Let me just say that the Utena/Anthy reunited pic at the end of Naji's 39 retelling has made my heart melt into pure goo.

He only is because there's no option for "Cute But Uptight Dojo Master" in the default game.
Presenting Touga Kiryuu and his many conquests.
The last two are Tokiko and Keiko. He seduced Kanae too, but she left him after catching him making out with Chigusa in the library.
Saionji reads a birth announcement about Juri's daughter Jacklyn.
Juri, Kanae, and Chigusa all had kids unbeknownst to me. I thought Touga got Chigusa pregnant since he spent a lot of time at her house, but the game didn't say who her son's father was, so I had them make one of their own. Unfortunately, it didn't turn out very well...
...Because Chigusa died in a birthday cake fire when I tried to age her sons up prematurely. She begged for her life in vain, so Mikage and Tokiko raised her children.
Oh, Mikage! Only you would make friends with a ghost.
Touga helps his son Fuji with homework.
Akio plots nefariously with his and Mrs. Ohtori's son Ceyx.
Utena meets Juri's teenage daughter Jacklyn.
They must be talking about something really funny for Touga to ignore the fact that Akio is in his underwear. I wonder what it is.
Here's Chigusa getting arrested on her first day of work.
Cookies for breakfast: Because the Laws of Anime state that the beautiful SKU guys can never gain weight!

He changed into that outfit on his own. I kind of expected him to die.
But he didn't.
Kanae and A-ko fight fires, too.
That's Susan Mayer standing next to her. Mike does the tattoos. Touga works at a Consignment store. I don't know if their personality determines it, or what.
Takatsuki Shiori, private investigator.
My Sim gave Rukaphita money. I wonder what for?
Death looks like a shadow boy, and Shiori looks like C-ko.
This picture looks so cute. She's actually attacking him, though.
Tatsuya must be pretty far along in the medical career to wear that. But according to the investigator plot, he changes his credit score or something illegally.
Why do I even have a Sim of Mike Delfino? Did he come with my downloaded Susan Sim?
Butterfly tattoo, for the win!
Aww. Being on fire made her sleepy.
Thanks salon, for fucking with Nanami's outfit. Now I can't tell it's her.
I made Shiori a fire fighter too. She got an award for defeating magical gnomes, or something.
Drill, baby, drill!
Shiori = Best Fire Fighter Ever.

So I broke and finally bought the Sims3. I'm at work right now so I can't post any of the pictures but so far I've only made Utena and Anthy. The stock clothes are obviously a little difficult to recreate the show clothing, but I'm trying my best. Some of these traits amuse me:
Utena:
-Absent minded (I had to, we know she doesn't exactly think everything through. In the game it leads to some hilarious instances where she'll walk into the kitchen, stare at the fridge and then forget why she went there)
-Athletic - I even got her a career in athletics so now she loves working out in front of the tv.
-Brave (nothing has happened just yet with that)
-Charismatic - People like calling her at random times, like when she's holding Anthy's hand.
She's the one that does all the cooking for the house and it seems like she loves making waffles and mac and cheese, Anthy seems to refuse to cook and will get herself sick by eating old waffle from the fridge.
Anthy:
-Green thumb: The cutest thing that's happened so far is that one of her wishes was to buy a tomato.
-Loner: She gets tons of mood bonuses while Utena is at work because she's at the house alone. I'm keeping her unemployed til I can find her a gardening job. I couldn't help but laugh cause right after I first started the house the game wanted to tell me that Anthy would love to go see a game at the stadium, so I brought them there and then her mood went down cause there was too many people around. :p
-Clean: Utena has a tendency to make a mess around the house, not making her side of the bed when they wake up, leaving the cooked left overs out on the counter, so Anthy is always the one to clean up after her. Utena has also broken both the shower and the toilet and Anthy was the one to get out the mop. She seems to get pretty pleased when she cleans though, so it never ruins her mood to it.
They seem to love their tv too, to the point where they broke it and had to call a repairman. I am of course an AnthyxUtena shipper, so having the option to make them a couple right off the bat was fantastic (and to a hilarious extent, after the game at the stadium that made Anthy freak out, they spent about ten minutes standing outside the stadium kissing )
Offline
Halp.
I'm playing the sims 2 currently and using a mod to make people fall instantly in love so I can make them have sex with everyone like real!ohtori relationships.
Is there a way to have significant partners i.e. engaged ones not know their extra lover is having sex with their legit fiance?
Like Anthy and Utena are engaged but every time they have sex, Akio comes flying up the stairs and slaps both of them, even when I make his feelings towards Anthy neutral or like instead of love. Vice versa, I can have Anthy hate Akio but if he so much as flirts with Kanae, his fiance, she freaks and starts slapping him, even when she's in another enclosed room.
I'm morbidly curious to see what happens when Utena and Anthy actually get married. Akio, of course, will never get married. He's deathly afraid of it.
Offline
Razara, I didn't think it was possible to make Mikage sexier than he already is, but your sim version of him is pure drool fuel.
Here's an update on my little soap opera with these guys.
Anthy vs Kozue in a game of foosball
Old!Touga catches a butterfly. I named it Shiori just 'cause I could.
He finally married Ruka, but Ruka died on their wedding day. Of course, that doesn't stop Touga. *shivers*
Touga almost died at the wedding of Saionji's son and Juri's daughter. However, I couldn't stand to let him die away from his husband (even if he was as much of a philanderer as the real Touga), so I adjusted the age settings to the game at the last second. The Grim Reaper left him alone after I took this shot, but Touga would occasionally cry over himself due to some glitch anyway. I think it's hilarious.
Finally, here is Wakaba glomping Akio and Mrs. Ohtori's youngest son Ikuni.

Calamity- My Sims have pretty much the same traits. No maid for them! Anthy does all the cleaning.
haelsyx- Uninstall that mod and get yourself a no jealousy mod. It will make it much easier to make proper SKU relationships. Playboys like Akio and Touga can't be tied down by Sim monogamy!
Riri-kins- That is one crazy wedding.
The Sims 3 has some of the worst and craziest glitches. Sims can now blow up stuff for scrap metal if they're inventors. My Shiori Sim is an inventor. So I switched my active household so I could move some other Sims to better houses. When I came back to Shiori's household, do you know what she had done? She blew up her TV, washing machine, and sink. Plus, she was standing in someone else's house, burnt from a fire.
What the hell, Maxis? Now I can't leave my Shiori Sim alone without her blowing up everything I worked so hard to buy her?!
Offline
Well we now certainly know Shiori takes her job very seriously.
A few days after I got the girls' tv fixed, it got stolen so they were upset. Utena didn't make it to the lIving room in time to wrestle with the thief. I eventually bought them a burglar alarm once they had enough money to prevent that from happening again. They're really good at breaking things so I decided to make Anthy build her handyman skills. I know they can't do a ton of animations but I had her tinkering with the tv and it cracked me up that it looked like she was just stabbing it with a screwdriver for an hour.
I bought them a computer to try and make up for the stolen TV and Utena blew it up by using it too much. I'll have Anthy fix it once she's done tinkering with the toilet.
I want to send them traveling since I bought World Adventures but I don't want Utena to lose her job. :S Do you folks know if she'll get fired if I send them to China?

Just reloaded my old Sims 2 Deluxe and I'm having a lot of fun with it.
First off, I made Utena, Anthy, Juri, Shiori, Akio, Touga and Ruka live in one house together and it's almost scary how accurate the whole "chemistry" thing is working out. Not surprisingly, Anthy and Utena hit it off right off the bat, whereas Juri and Ruka hate each other. Touga keeps trying to hit on Utena, and every attempt is shot down, as to be expected. The only weird thing with this is that Juri and Anthy get along rather well. I need to change that. I motherlode'd and boolprop'd the shit out of that game so I didn't have to give them jobs or actually work to make them friends (I'm lazy like that). I made Akio fall in love with Ruka, Anthy, Touga and Shiori and he banged all but Anthy. Juri's all emo and shit now that she found Shiori cheating, and even though I boolprop'd her back into love with Shiori, she still has her moments where she just sobs uncontrollably for a few minutes. Eventually I plan for Shiori to cheat again. Maybe then Juri'll learn to get over her? Who knows. Akio knocked up Shiori, which should be interesting now that Juri and Shiori are engaged. Touga, strangely, is having issues with Akio banging other people, but I guess that's because I set them both as Romance Aspirations and he's the only one in the house not getting laid on a regular basis. Ruka, on the other hand, doesn't really care, and would definitely hook-up with Shiori or Juri without another word to Akio.
Before shutting down last night, I had the girls move out of the house into their own lovely abode on the other side of Pleasantview Downtown. Eventually I plan on having Utena and Anthy engage, while Shiori has her kid and they all raise the baby, and maybe I'll add Miki and Kozue for some fun.
Let's just see how this all turns out!
EDIT:
Hurr hurr hurr, this turned out nicely.
I moved in Miki (who looks like John Stamos when he was Jesse in Full House) and Kozue and set them as "roomates" due to Kozue's... *cough*... tendencies. So, I cheated again and made a few people fall for each other...
First, Prego!Shiori banged Kozue, and Juri found out and fell out of love with her, but the engagement is still on. Although they'll probably never get married, since that's one of Juri's fears.
Next, Kozue and Juri banged, but that was really only for Juri's sake, since I don't wanna break up Utena and Anthy, and Miki as a fuckbuddy just didn't seem right. Juri's Aspiration Meter was in the bottom red, and even the Einstein-looking dude showed up. She was losing her mind, but now since she's got some more, she's in the platinum. Which makes her much easier to be around.
Finally, Miki and Kozue got it on. I had to. Now Kozue's in the platinum because she has three lovers and WooHoo'd three different people.
I also had a party and invited Akio and Touga. Only Touga showed up. All they did was dance to music, I think it was pretty lame. On the other hand, I had Utena and Anthy go out on a date and they ran into Ruka at the Karaoke bar.
The weirdest thing about this game is that, strangely, Anthy's mad at Akio for cheating. I don't remember them ever hooking up, or ever having any sort of feelings toward each other. That's extremely bizarre. o.o

This is happening in my game too, Juri is even turned on by Anthy which freaks me out. I don't remember her ever even flirting with Anthy but before I took out the jealousy, Juri would run over and start poking Utena every time she touched her rose bride.

My Anthy cockblocked Akio all the time. He's about to get it on with Touga or you know, who ever is around, and she would run in and start slapping him. Once again, before removing jealousy. It's such a lifesaver, I don't have to worry about Touga knocking over my trashcans in the middle of the night so that roaches are there come morning and I have to keep my happy penis tower family barricaded inside and away from the flu.

I finally decided to post some images! I made Miki, Kozue and Juri yesterday as well, made them all move in together into a two bedroom house. I figured Miki and Kozue might share a bed since I set them to siblings, more on that later... I had a lot of fun with making them. off the top of my head I remember giving them these traits:
Miki:
Virtuoso
Family oriented
Genius
(I know there's more but I can't remember them without loading the game )
Kozue:
Virtuoso
Flirt
Great Kisser
Daredevil
Inappropriate
Juri:
Hot Headed (I had to, and it's hilarious, she gets pissed about so many things I was going to make her over emotional too but decided to just keep her hot headed for now)
Disciplined
Perfectionist
Athletic
I'm keeping Anthy and Utena as my active family for now, I'll probably switch over to these three eventually though just to watch what they do. Now onto the pictures:
Utena worked out for a bit and then they snuggled on the bed, so incredibly cute:
This is from the first time I put them to bed when I first got the game, they're spooning and my heart melted:
I bought them a video game system to make up for the once again blown up computer, Utena loves it:
I sent Anthy to visit them while Utena was at work once. So much hilarity ensued:
For reasons unknown to me Anthy really loves brushing her teeth when she goes to their house. She's never done it once at her and Utena's place, but...
She brushed them twice in one visit, using two different sinks. I can only wonder if she brings her toothbrush everywhere or if she stole one from them...
Miki made dinner and he and Anthy ate together while Kozue plays on their computer and Juri reads. This is so adoreably in character:
Juri has decided she hates Anthy and will start shit with her for no reason at all. I kind of figure it might be that I ended up giving Anthy the Hopeless Romantic trait and Juri keeps saying Anthy is being inappropriate. I can't be sure of it but every time Anthy visits Juri either decides to slap her or yell at her a bunch of times:
I gave Utena one of those lifetime rewards where she can figure out other people's traits and relationships just by talking to them. This is where the hilarity of the two Kaoru kids and Juri living together comes in. Unfortunately I didn't realize none of the UI popups show up when you take photos so I'll just explain. Utena came over after jogging and her and Juri seemed to hit it off very well:
It might look like they're talking about jogging and Juri is getting pumped, but somehow Utena found out from this conversation that Juri is dating Kozue. I just about died when this revelation came out. I don't even control them and the game knows Juri is more inclined to women. This tickled me greatly. I guess being with one rebellious wildcat is a substitute for the girl that torments her so. That or I just haven't made Shiori yet. ;P I guess this tells me who is really sharing the double bed in the Kaoru household.
Anthy and Utena ended up getting married yesterday. I wanted to wait til I made at least Akio to attend and be a jerk to everyone while seducing them at the same time, but I didn't want to wait any longer.
I told them to be a formal party and I'm a little let down that Kozue didn't show up in her formal outfit cause the dress I chose for her I figured matched as good as it can her dress when she's Miki's Rose Bride. I guess that's just her being inappropriate.
Anthy's formal outfit I found online, really the closest thing I could ever find for her Rose Bride dress. I like it a lot anyway.
Juri likes playing their video games while at the wedding party:
Utena decided it was important to play catch with her boss and best friend while at the party:
And that it's also important to train her boss at said party:
Anthy just doing as she does best:
The exchange of vows, rings and the kiss that made them wife and wife:
Then of course Kozue decided she wanted to pass out after the ceremony:
It's kind of adoreable in my head canon because they ended up taking Anthy's last name. Sure Utena is the prince, but it's adorable in the sense that it shows the girls are equal after everything they went through. That being said I get confused sometimes when the game says something about Utena Himemiya.
Now to close it out with some cute fluff, and Utena serving her, Anthy and her boss grilled cheese off the floor of their kitchen:
I just installed Ambitions while writing this up, so I'll be interested to see what new things this adds. I'm thinking about adding Akio and Kanae living together, and Wakaba and Saionji living together soon as well.
