@king_of_simcity7 thank you. That swimming pool you saw is in a basement of my Skylight House.
If you're watching the mermaid videos you'll see more of it. I'm actually doing a walk around the house in a future video. I've had it in my studio for a few years. It's a bit big though. Has a lot of store content in it but not everything. It was originally built before Into the Future was released so the garden has lots of pots because that's how a lot of us did greenhouses before the soil rugs became available.
This is an exterior shot. I built it when the skylight studio was released. Most people wanted the dance studio objects, I was interested in the build items.
@CravenLestat ...lol... I'm a lover not a fighter, seriously that is fantastic & I will watch to see what you do in the future @king_of_simcity7 awe ty ( blushes ) I am really happy, myself, how it turned out
"Well, you never know when something will drop out of the sky and land on your head" Mom told me that a long time ago when she was busy "trying to make a man" out of me by beating me. Well, anyways...I go into the store to go buy something and just then, by chance just as the door closes, meteors slam into the area where I was standing not just a few seconds before. Too bad, didn't get me; I'm still breathing, gotta try harder next time. I should have remembered that I had targeted the store, but well, you know, other things were on my mind. Forgetting ticked me off so much I had to get on my podium and rant about it. May not have done much, but it made me feel better.
After I ranted, I went home. But ended up having to witness some more disgusting feel-good stuff from Phil and Catherine. Now how many meteors did I divert anyways? Catherine still hasn't learned to not scare people. She went and scared Heather, who nearly jumped out of her skin. I may have to drop a rock on Catherine to teach her a lesson. But I need the rent money (evidently her job is as an athlete (a fan at this point) so she is doing something at least). Have you ever heard of a term called "bolt out of the blue". Well, Phil got nailed by one...again. Evidently he's a good conductor. Maybe instead of the science field in which he is currently, he could be in the music field. Ha ha ha...maybe he could concentrate on the music of...oh...Scheidt*...which was incidentally what he said when he got hit by lightning. It would be an electrifying performance. *snicker*.
In the meantime, Sunset Valley got hit by yet another meteor. so...I had to go and collect those meteors. Not to mention, Cornelia Goth got hit by a bolt from the blue. Let's just say that it was quite a jolting experience. I do have to say that the meteors certainly made us less prone to financial problems than we had when we first started living in Sunset Valley. Having money is great. The people who say that money doesn't solve your problems haven't been destitute to the point where you have to make a choice between eating or paying the bills. Yes, Evil_Haruo may be evil and greedy, but he knows his money-management. And when it comes down to survival... well...avarice knows no bounds. Our new house may not be the biggest house in Sunset Valley, but it's ours and its satisfying enough...for now, at least until the Altos, Goths and Landgraabs are set in my sights.

@bekkasan thank you. Sukie is a new sim but Belinda's been waiting quietly in my library for a while now. She's finally made it into a game. I'm enjoying my mermaids.
@king_of_simcity7 this is the link to the Skylight House if you want to get a closer look at it. I originally made it on that 64x64 lot in Isla Paradiso but it looks good in Lucky Palms too.
I let the boys sleep until 6 because they had no classes until 12.
It's so good to have my boys back to normal
John rolled a wish to make more pancakes and Jordan had a wish to go skinny dipping.
When the boys had their wishes, I sent them to the Student Unionn Building. Looks like Jordan is checking out his butt! Maybe he's just dismayed by the shabby state of his pants
I sent the boys upstairs to play table tennis because most of the other sims in the building were at a lecture.
Jordan won again!
When the lecture ended, I sent the boys downstairs to meet new sims
Then it was time for the boys to head to class. John's lecture was in the same room so he didn't have far to go. He promptly fell asleep!
Jordan was having a lot of fun with his skeleton
While I watched Jordan, I kept an eye on John's thumbnail and when he woke up, I zoomed back to him.
John fell asleep again but not for long and was diligently taking notes when I next checked on him.
When Jordan finished his class, Mugsy did the stimulus response test on him. Jordan ninja'd the rubber ducky before it could hit him in the face
Adam loves playing guitar and mastered it the next morning while the others had classes. His class did not start until 4pm so he met Alice at the beach when her class was over. Alice finished her sketches while Adam practiced his snorkeling and got his first point in scuba diving. Adam kisses Alice before rushing off to his class.
Alice goes back to the dorm and chats with Maggie. Maggie is apparently missing Sandra her ghostly roommate from last semester. I would think she would be happier with Joseph as her roommate this year. Alice fixes spaghetti for dinner and has enough for the Delia and Angelia but they don't show up. After dinner, Marshall and Alice challenge Adam and Dedric to a gnubb match. Adam and Dedric won 2 out of three.
Cuddling in bed is a nice way to end the day. And of course, cuddling leads to smooching and smooching leads to fun under the covers. Pillows are flying off the bed they are having so much fun. I love it when they hold hands and snuggle together under the covers.
After their classes, I sent the boys to the bowling alley.
Because they had no party invitations, I sent them to visit Eddy because I knew he had a keg
I remembered Eddy was a vegetarian so I had Jordan prepare veggie rolls
The boys watched the stars before heading home.

@Silverofdreams30 Thank you I hate it when my sims get electrocuted!
@Charlottesmom Will read your update soon. Looking forward to it
@king_of_simcity7 Thank you I have mostly sent the boys to uni to play them longer because the elder stage is only 8 days so I don't really want them spending all their time in classes.
I like how they sleep in lectures because it means they have the energy to stay up if they get invited to a party
Yummy looking meal!
@emorrill Thanks for the lovely comments
There are a couple different Twilight paintings in the mod that I have seen so far.
I'm really happy with how the boys look as elders
I think 8 days is generous given the total lifespan is only 50 days.
I love salmon too!
All the males at uni are getting hearts for my boys!
@mycami21 I hope you are well *hugs* Beautiful patterns
@MoonandStars83 Happy birthday Aria and Naomi Dressing sims before they die is a good move. You don't need to be seeing poorly dressed ghosts around
@bekkasan Thanks for the lovely comments
Eddy streaked most of the night! I kept seeing him from the corner of my eye when I was concentrating on my boys
I don't know why they get pushed to class so early. I generally have them socialize when they first get there since I think it's too early to start stressing them. Once class time is official I change it to Work Hard.
@imdragonit You did a brilliant job on that house!
@Karritz Belinda is pretty Sounds like she will get into all sorts of romantic strife with those traits!
@CravenLestat Beautiful example of Triptych You are so talented
@Mikezumi I'm glad all is right with the boys again. I know some of my stuff didn't transfer to uni when I imported settings and I had to fix a few of the mods.
John sleeping in class! Shocking!
The skeleton is a hoot.
Good for Jordan catching the duck!
They found the photobooth!
Keg stands! Good job no dropping.
Jordan just gets into the posing!
@bekkasan Love the title of this chapter!
Congrats to Adam on mastering the guitar
Looks like everyone is having fun
It's a good thing Victor is not in their heads anymore!
@Mikezumi Great pictures from University I love how they seemed to be checking out that badly dressed Sim Also I see some Sims asleep in class as usual. Nice painting as well lol
@bekkasan Nice update from University The beach looks as good as any from the other worlds. It has been snowing too much in my save for me to bother sending Sims there and only just turned to Spring
@bekkasan I love the pattern on the beadspread of your sims - the pic with all the hearts floating
@Mikezumi I won't be encouraging Belinda in this game but anything is possible. I'm discovering they are not the most obedient group of sims I've ever played with - but then I do like to have free will on maximum
I took them all diving at Davey Jones's locker. But it wasn't easy to photograph them all - then I discovered a few of them had gone home.
Mostly I wanted to see Sukie's tail and dragged her back into the deep. I have to say I'm still not happy with it. Will try a few more tweaks.
Here are the pics I got of them all swimming and some of them diving. This time they met up with Maya Ocean - I almost never see her in my games but she's appeared a few times for this group. She even has her tail now.
I have to leave Sims for a while now - other things to do but I'll be back.
@bekkasan Alice is a really pretty sim seeing what your were gets up to. ty I really do like this house. @Mikezumi roflmao! Jordan posing, still giggling ty for the compliment on the house
@TadOlson -- Ouch! Luckily we just had to replace the TV; my dad had a spare DVD player for whatever reason lol.
@Nikkei_Simmer -- Sorry! I was thinking more of current circumstances. 'Canes have only made the playoffs once since '06 lol. And are currently teasing with the last wild card spot.
We could probably use Eddie now... Darling has been kind of a dud. And now I've been seeing rumors of trading away Justin Faulk, and ugh.
@MamaSimTee -- I can never remember where players come from lol. Also, it hasn't seemed to have helped us out much. (And you have one of the Staals! We're down to one ourselves... and I'm still verrrrry bitter about that. I want the Wild to burn in flames. I actually wanted to do that to my #12 jersey shirt...)
I'm actually a pretty die-hard fan of Detroit sports, the Lions and Tigers, specifically; I despise the Red Wings, so it's the 'Canes for me!
Which makes me a pretty tortured sports fan most of the time!
It's ok all and TY for the late wishes,my BD was the 6th I and turned.......old!!! you don't need a number, there is not enough room on the forum to type such a large amount of digits
@Mikezumi Thanks for the comments. Yep, Victor is out of their heads for good now.
@Karritz I think that is one of Craven's patterns. It is perfect for those two as his favorite color is spiceberry and her's is blue so it is a lovely blend for them.
The mermaids looks so pretty. I watched the first video yesterday. They look great swimming and diving.
@CravenLestat oh wow....gorgeous. Such a peaceful scene and the two lovebirds!
Happy late birthday and you are not old! I am!
@Bekkasan You are not that old,just because you got to add your hand prints on the ceiling during the painting of the 16th chapel and you put the second block to the Great Pyramid does not make you old.Plus you are the only simmer I know who owned a baby T-Rex at one time.

@imdragonit One of the best houses that I have seen for a while
@CravenLestat Nice paintings again
@Mikezumi It likes like John is going to have a good sketch!
@Karritz I love the green house
I am having a good evening so far. Still listening to Hard House and I am in my element

@CravenLestat That is awesome work! Wow!! I gave you an awesome, but, think you need a bunch more, but, it won't let me give but one.

It was loaded to the exchange on 9th Feb, 2013 so it isn't a new build.
Here it is in Lucky Palms.
I think Lucky Palms would cope better with it. There is no CC in it as I didn't start adding CC and mods to my game until late 2014.
