Small children are claiming to see a woman wandering the parks at night.
Some say she lives in Sylvan Glade. They say her clothes, mat, and stool are her sole possessions, and she only takes from nature what she needs to survive. They say she devotes 16 hours each day to burning off tapas. They say she’s incapable of anger. Regulars at the Perfect Balance speak of her personal practice in hushed whispers.
There are a few Sims who know her better. They say she sleeps at the gym, smells funky, and has one pair of Sanuks that she breaks out at formal events.
Others compare her to another Sim, Nicolette Fenton, who went missing after completing an Ayurveda training in Sim-dney. These people also say things like “Have you seen her?” and “Is she still alive? Oh god, Nicolette!” We don’t listen to those people because they’re not fun.
We can confirm only a handful of details about this mysterious figure.
She’s picturesque!
She’s particularly fond of Kendra!
She’s not interested in being celibate.
Definitely not!
She spits in the face of propriety.
And lastly, she is acquainted with—holy hell, who is that absolute unit?
Is that Charlie?
Above all, she is a Sim whose devotion drove her to reject even agriculture, that first great separation of man from nature, to fight the injustice she herself has caused.
If you focus long enough, enough to quiet the gossip, the speculation, the lies and untruths, you may learn a name, filtered through the roots and grass, carried by each grain of pollen, vibrating with the nitrogen in the air, from a non-space that exists outside of space itself,
Ana Asteya.
And that which is holy in her recognizes that which is holy in you.
I suddenly feel like as if my subpar yoga ability will never get me anywhere in life
Oh no! You’ll never be able to live in the forest and never shower or wear shoes!
Jokes on you, I don’t need a forest, I already live in a fae world of peat bogs and heather. Unfortunately the neighbours are all ticks.
I need to know everything about Ana Asteya. This is such a proper introduction, I’m impressed. Way to immediately peak my interest! I’m not surprised that she’s friends with Kendra, because Kendra is awesome and this sounds like a gal with taste.
Nah, that unit IS actually Charlie?! I’m absolutely flabbergasted… but also positively impressed.
That’s the exact moment this rotational player learned how swole her boy got while he was idling. Ana Asteya has sadly taken a passive role in the story… so far.
Ah well, anything can still happen! I’d be super excited to see her make a return at least at some point.
And boy, did Charlie get swole. I hate to be one of those gals but I’m kind of digging it. Mike just looks like an asshole but Charlie… Charlie’s got it.
Welcome to Team Charlie! Please move all the way to the other side of the room—way, way over there, with Cathy Tea. I’ll be on the opposing periphery waving the red flag of Team Shu.
This was quite an introduction. But omg what’s happening in your Sylvan Glade? 😆
Hah! The hygiene and bladder perks aren’t that different from the siddhis, and Ana Asteya could definitely benefit from not needing to pee or shower, so I was trying to help a sister out and get her the nice perks that let a sim live in the woods in peace. None of the aspirations make sense for her, of course, so I had her do the Collector aspiration. As soon as she completed it, I tried to release her unnecessary possessions back into the wild. Too bad she also had 30 terrariums for some reason (???).
Pfffft.
Sauna woohoo sounds like a great way to get dehydrated real fast. Also, I can’t for the life of me figure out what the heck she’s holding in the toilet pic. Is she eating? Ewwwwww.
Somehow it doesn’t surprise me that Kendra is enamored with the creepy forest lady.
YEP. SHE IS EATING AN APPLE ON THE TOILET; THANK YOU FOR NOTICING
Sometimes you have to artificially impose personalities on The Sims 4 sims. And sometimes there’s Kendra.
Namaste, Ana, Namaste. But seriously, now I want to learn more about Ana and her influence on Kendra and the rest of your sims’ world. Also, whoa… that is quite the collection of terrariums.
Ooh, well, she might come out of the woods to butt in with the main cast more; she might keep trying to release frogs but the game won’t let her so Sylvan Glade will keep getting polluted with terrariums. Anyone’s guess at this point. Namaste.
My chakras lined up right now and I’m still very afraid!
