@charlottesmom Glitchfest? Oh no...
I imagine you've done all the cache clearing and things like that? Since you don't play with CC I can't imagine your game would glitch more than those of us who have quite a bit of CC. Hope you figure it out.
Poor Zach.
How come Vlad passed out? And the 5 minute donation comment. Cute romancing pics.
I wouldn't want to peeve Elvira off either!
Wow she noticed that Hunk from a mile away! It must be true love!
Ugh. Yeah most of those work outfits turn out hideous!
Dylan is a cutie.
Nice amount of money she earned!
Sims and their random interactions with each other.
White shirt!
*(Singing) You like to see Connor nekkid!!
*That IS neat how Plantsims have babies.
*Thanks for the compliment on my added pictures. Like I said earlier, I wish I had thought to take them before posting my update but...it's all good.
*Do I owe you a PM or do you owe me? I need to check... and I owe @donnabailey a PM too which I will NOT forget about!
**Belle is a pretty sim.
**Flower rejection. Awww....
**Well hello there ghost!
**Does Craven's sim usually peeve people off in your worlds? Lola's like, "Eh, he's alright."
**Oh my Don looks terrible! Yeah, I see random sims barefoot in my world's too and I'm like..."Okkaay?"
**Cross-eyed Dylan!
***Thanks for the compliment on Samantha. You know I HAD to name her that!
@Karritz I need to get an External HD too...I've needed to for a LONG time now!
Started by trying to relieve myself in my dark house and realized a tour bus carrying a blind baseball team must have broken down and all the players used my toilet when I was asleep. UGG!!! Disgusting
@CravenLestat ^^Oh my gosh ROTFLOL!!!
Well buy some lights man!!!
Darn, all the drawings my townies leave in the Consignment shop are stoopid!
So, is this a world where you put in ALL the hottie lady premades?
Hey, that's better frisbee throwing than I could ever do! Oh LOL!! You sure got her back good didn't you!?
So...you say some ladies look better at YA than Adult, I honestly never see a difference. They always seem to keep the same face when they age up to Adult from YA.
Hey! Daniella blew you a kiss!
*So Samantha Beckett doesn't land on your hottie list huh? I see how it is.
*But, you did choose a couple of sims from the other folks on here who AREN'T EA premades and you dubbed them hott. (Just messing with you). Tee hee!
@OriginalMara Teens can prank cameras?? Did not know that...
@bekkasan Aww, I will have to tell my daughter that you waved to her. It was fun playing in her Park, but it's the middle of Fall in the same and every sim starts getting freakishly cold the minute they enter the pool she created. (Poor daughter, but she honestly didn't seem too bummed about it after I explained the Season).
Oh and thank you for the compliment on my makeover of Samantha.
*Wow. Your writing at the beginning of your update, fantastic!!
*Stunning pictures!
*Josef looks furious about having to get off.
*WHAT!? Toddlers can draw on the walls? No way!?!? How do you get them to do that??
@Mikezumi Oh my shower woohoo!
Shannon and Nevan are like, "We gotta get in as much romance as possible before we pass on!"
Nice to see S & N enjoying the stars.
Caught up! I need to do some adulting things and then play my game for a bit. Or, get started on Sam's next update...not sure what I'm feeling just yet. Dang depression.......
@bekkasan thanks. Yes I have sent him home from Egypt. I was keen to see if the opportunity would stick after I changed that setting in the mod. I suspect I'll have to change it back again though if I ever want to add my savvy seller stores into a world because there are too many registers in those stores and I tend to leave them untended unless I want my sim to buy something in the store. It really only needs one working register, but I've got lots of small shops in the building and it looks nice if each one has its own register.
I've turned Story Progression off and am deleting stuff from their home lot(s) or putting it into their family inventory in preparation for the big move wether I do it with Porter mod or Traveler mod.
@TadOlson thanks. Yes my hard drives are a bit full too. I also use this computer mostly for work and that is what has filled it up as well as Sims.
Problem I have is my external drives are full, or almost full, and I need more space on external drives than I have to make sure I have the most up to date version of all of my data on it.
But, of course, as soon as I do that I'll get back to work and it will need updating again. I'll have to work out a method of keeping the external drives up to date. I'm sure there is a process I can use without having to have them attached to the computer all the time.
@Charlottesmom Great random pics
LOL at Luke and the flowers! He wouldn't take them, but he wants to give them!
I take it Craven causes problems in your saves?
At least Dylan likes him
I think Don looks cute like that!
Awwww a sweet Connor hug
@emorrill That's sweet that your daughter wanted you to play in her park!
Samantha did clean up well
I wouldn't hold my breath on Craven liking one of your girls! I have tons of pretty girls in my saves and he rarely notices them!
Cute house and adorable beach pics
@CravenLestat I can't use your build because I don't have the right EPs. It does look handy, though
@CravenLestat I personally think my girls are prettier than yours
@lisasc360 I like both SK and MM and I particularly loved the Dark Tower books Not sure how I would feel about a movie, though. My imagination fleshes out what I am reading and I find that movies based on books disappoint me if I have read the book first.
Thanks for the nice comments
Sounds like you are stuck with Verizon then
Australia is notorious for having slow internet but my speed isn't too bad and I have never had it drop out at least.
I remember roller skates like that! LOL
@emorrill Thanks for the lovely comments
Declan was number 3. Derry is older but he is still going strong. I am surprised Declan went first because he was always so athletic.
Those pics really were very clever and a perfect fit for your storyline!
The ghosts in town are not the townies. They are all safely tucked away in the mausoleum and are never seen. These are the normal SV ghosts.
It's Elva who will be aging up soon. Ita is the baby of the family ... for now at least
Thanks also for the lovely comments on my most recent update
@bekkasan Love the first pic of Alice and Gardenia doing magic!
I love when the kids don't want to get off the riders
The twins are adorable playing peek-a-boo
I wouldn't encourage drawing on walls! LOL
@TadOlson Thanks Clever work on the pond and river
@Karritz - unless its a ticking relatively random metallic sound, which would be a failing harddrive (bad), its propably a fan that should be an easy, cheap fix. Just got to bring it to a 'hole-in-the-wall' tech-shop. Otherwise some numbnut will say its nay-fixable.
If its a fan, its could be as simple as muck/dust/plum clogging up. Then it'd need a whiff of high-pressured air to clean it out.
Had it been a desktop, it could have been the powersupply. That is also clean-able with air, but a mess to change if its the fan.
I think you should get away with it pretty cheapo. Good luck from one that recently toasted his graphics on a laptop. -That suck. A lot.
@emorrill - That'd be me (Sam & popsicle) a few years back. Had been to a stupid hot & hard military exercise. Finally after a horrible week, I got the opportunity to have an icecream. -The thoughts running through my head and amount of red pointy speechbubbles when my weakened fingers didn't manage to squeeze that small wooden stick.
Brogan needed a massage before the family came to breakfast
Brogan had a wish to catch a 100kg fish and while he was fishing he got his pregnancy notice
Michael had been cooking and was about to wander off to break space rocks but I had Brogan intercept him to announce the pregnancy.
Although the thumbs up is an inadequate response to the announcement, Michael made it up by giving Brogan a heat of the moment kiss
The kiss led to woohoo and while the boys were relaxing I had them whip out their pregnancy books
While reading his book, Brogan rolled a wish to eat pancakes. Since dinner was several hours off, I let him have them.
Michael reached level 7 in the cooking skill while preparing frogs legs for the family
Elva will be aging up in one day and I don't believe she has had a submarine adventure so I sent both girls to the bathrooms for a bit of childish, non-skilling fun
Shannon and Nevan got their favourite spot for watching the house
Since Nevan likes art, I sent him to the Art Gallery with Shannon. @Charlottesmom's family was there
While talking to Becky, Nevan rolled a wish to boast about his grandchildren
@Mikezumi Great udpates,
im trying to get a bit bigger family on this generation than the first with just 3.
Thank you.
@Mazakeen Great udpate before sometimes i miss people when thread goes so quicky hehe
@CravenLestat I enjoy hte challenge updates great ones.
He he its Sandi french from I think sunset valley but shes just a toddler
when the world starts.
Mazakeen, a five star celebrity and world famous chef were yet again off to a spiffy galla. The sun was shining and everything pretty perfect all over. -Except them paparazzis loitering on her porch.
"I have to do something about this. I can hardly get out the door into my limousine anymore."
"I better go get that dog to chase them off my property." -Mazakeen thought to herself, riding off to her late appointment.
While Mazakeen the next day went off to get the most rabid, bloodthirsty, mailman-chaser she could find.
Lilith gave Evelyn a small update.
"Mom is now off to fetch us a guard-dog to chase off unwelcome sims. Evelyn, I want You to be in charge of it. Train it, wash it, feed it. You know. Everything needed to keep it in top shape." "Sure, Lilith. You know I will do anything for this family."
The next few days, everything seemed to go well.
The Max, the muppet, uh, mutt was behaving well. it often came back quite dirty, but it behaved well, and never pee'd inside.
Evelyn really did her job well.
Mazakeen was one morning wondering why the dog ran off, but still the paparazzo and mailman were allowed to behave as normal around the house.
"This isn't right... ...Why didn't You chase that mailman off? I'd better talk to Lilith, and ask her what she actually told Evelyn to do."
"Oh, I am taking really good care of it. I love dogs. I play with it all the time. He is so cute, and all over me, all the time, I adore this dog it is so strong, but I love getting scratchmarks. I have plenty on my back! Want to see?"
@mikezumi Enjoyed the update. Can't quite get used to Shannon and Nevan as elders. They still got 'it' and love that they love each other and seek each other out. Thanks for the comments. Congrats on the new baby!
@emorrill Thanks for your comments. Arsil has a new mod on MTS that includes several new interactions with the toddlers. It is in testing phase. The drawing is a bit fast, wish their was a way to slow it down so it took more time. I might mention that on the site if someone else didn't. She/he also has the napping/sleep mats out now and already updated those from suggestions that were made. LOL at Sam and his popsicle. I have seen the drop, but his expression is too funny.
@Karritz Thats cool. Good luck with the hard drive issue. I finally deleted my multitude of saves from when I started playing in 2012 as I really knew I would not use those again.
@Mazakeen I enjoyed the update. Cute dog! Need to try that 'eat 'em up' interaction. Think that is the cowplant though. I do enjoy it when they burn up using their lap tops though. Had a Brunhilda go out and use the fire extinguisher on one once, she didn't get their in time though.

Thanks. I think it's a fan or in need of a good clean or both. It's been running all day today and it's been purring perfectly smoothly.
I've not played with my Photoshop elements program today. I think I've made and saved too many patterns in it recently as it seems to be using a lot of RAM and not working well.
I bought myself a new 3TB external hard drive today and am currently copying my data across plus all my Sims stuff.

@Karritz - Ah, photoshop is indeed taxing for not only ram, but also graphics-card. -It is VERY important to clean your fans if never been done. -Or photoshop might actually toast your graphicscard due to overheating.

I have it on a cooling pad and try to dust the inlets regularly. It's a gaming laptop so has lots of fans. But I will take it to someone to get it all fixed soon.
Brogan was craving key lime pie but there was none in the fridge so I woke him half an hour earlier than the rest of the family to make it. It occurred to me later that Michael probably has a high enough skill level. Oh well!
While the boys were gardening, I noticed that Brogan had a backache. I had Michael give him a massage and the backache moodlet vanished but only for a few minutes so I sent the boys to the spa for a massage.
While Michael and Brogan were out, I left Shannon and Nevan to their own devices. They broke the hot tub while trying to woohoo. Fortunately Shannon maxed the handiness skill long ago as well as completing some of the handiness challenges so he fixed it in next to no time
While Shannon was working on the hot tub I had Nevan do a radiation experiment on a light beetle he had in his inventory. There was a pop-up that the experiment was a failure and that Nevan should be on the lookout for an escaped radioactive bug
When the boys got home from the spa, I had Michael work out on the barre while Brogan worked on a painting wish.
The boys didn't break the hot tub this time around
Shannon and Nevan had a game of table tennis. Poor Shannon got whacked in the head several times
At least he got a small measure of revenge by whacking Nevan once
Stoopid me! I saw there was a party at Ben Mullis' home. Although none of the family members rolled a wish to go, I had a quick look on the map and saw a party balloon over one of the houses and teleported Nevan and Shannon there. They were invited inside by Maya Mullis so it didn't twig right away.
They were soon joined by Niki Mullis, Eilish's daughter and mother of Maya. Then it occurred to me that I was at the wrong Mullis house! There are about 5 Mullis households in town and the party balloon confused me I sent the boys home after some socializing because it was Elva's birthday.
When Shannon and Nevan got home from the wrong party, I had Elva go to the birthday cake.
Not too bad but not my cup of tea.
A quick visit to CAS and Elva is now wearing her favourite colour and has a pretty new hairstyle
She approves
Elva had a wish to learn crocodile bait and Ita a wish to go on a joyride.
All the boys watched the house
Although I don't care much for blonde hair, I think it suits Elva
She has Michael's killer cheekbones
Holy moly - it's been awhile since I've been here (10k+ posts!). It's nice to see the old faces as well as some new ones too! I didn't go back on the 10k posts (obviously), but I did go back about 10 pages, reading updates and handing out 'awesomes'. I'll try not to stay away for so long next time! I really hope ya'll are doing well. I miss this thread
@Mikezumi - how do you get rid of the blur for showers and baths? @CravenLestat - You know everything there is to know about EA worlds and premades; know anything about bin Sims? Do they change with each world or are they always the same no matter where you are?
Welp, I've been busy Simming myself, but I haven't been around much because I finally followed in @Karritz's footsteps and started my YouTube channel. Here's my first video if anyone is interested in checking it out:
Have to do my update in two parts is lots of fun and 22 pics.
Lucky Palms day 8: New Record and REVENGE
Started off my day by getting out my tent and spotted a Hottie Sim running across the street ran to her as fast as I could.And......
Was Lyla Langely NPC Social Worker GOT THEM HEARTS Is cool to catch her out in her Career outfit
But you know what this means if you were paying attention to the picture.
Here we go again
After that she ran to her house,Apartment lot
Tip Time: Guys every!!!! time put an apartment lot in your town.It not only houses your NPCs and Homeless Sim pool but the NPCs you would never see any other way in your game are out and about at venues etc.The homeless and NPCs will be around town just like your regulars like Jamie Jolina,Connor Frio etc.Plus anytime you want to visit any sim like the handyman girl or pizza girl or maid you think is pretty ring her there on the buzzer they come right to you and go ahead and take them on a date.
Back to my story,ran to the apartment lot to ring her.She came out and took my pic cause am a celeb.If you remember day one Lola is a celeb I had to impress her hook up etc making me one too.Anything like kissing,becoming a couple,woohoo,proposal,marriage etc are huge boosts to your celeb status.I think can get level 4 celeb just by that method.But Lyla gave me a vibe here look at her face she looks like a cute Pixie
Why look like a Pixie when you can be one...STALKER POTION ACTIVATE
FORM OF A FAIRY
Then I asked for some Pixie Dust
Now REVENGE!!!!
This one paticular Paparazzi has bugged me since day one and has ruined several awesome screenies getting in my way and photobombing.

Good grief girl,here is 1,000 bucks go get yourself 30 boxes of Krispy Kremes and a Pallete of Cake.
Parting Shot
2 hours till 3AM closing time asked my little honey dip Daniela to slowdance.No it is not cheating have not once cheated on Lola.
So while I was looking through my things, I notice that I have acquired a graduation gnome. (No picture of it yet, just the pop-up.)
So after I left the cafe, I went over to the science building to do my next day job which was to round up the escaped monkeys again...
This is my pay afterwards...
Jeffery Dean was in class at the science building when I went to do my day job as well as Brian Petersen. Jeffery and Brain must be in the same class together...
After I was done with the day job, I went back over to the cafe so that I could try to scare someone using the megaphone to complete the social group job. So I see Liz Tarry there and I go up to her to introduce myself to her... SS: Hello, I'm Lisa... Liz: Hello Lisa, I'm Liz Tarry. It's nice to meet you? SS: It's nice to meet you too Liz... Well I need to go now, so maybe I'll see you around sometime... Liz: Okay Lisa, see you around sometime...
So I leave so that I can sneak up on her to use the megaphone on...
SS whispering to herself: Sorry Liz, I don't mean to scare you but I need to complete this request for my social group.
So then later, I had another day job that I did, so it was back off to the science building to donate some plasma...
This is what I made for doing that...
Then afterward, I sit outside in the snow studying from my book. Since I've been here this semester, I haven't even yet study for my classes as I have been busy with keg/frat parties.
After a few minutes of sitting outside in the cold, I decided to go back to my dorm and finish studying where it's nice and warm at...
So while I was studying, Tammy Parker comes down the stairs to get a bite to eat. SS thinking to herself: OMG, something smells pretty nasty here! It's like a wet dog smell or something...
Tammy was hungry for a hot dog...lol
SS: Hey Tammy, I just want to compliment you on your fur... TP: Oh yes, I could be in film with this fur.
So then I proceeded to scold her for eating at the table like she did...lol SS: Bad dog, you don't eat at the table like that. Didn't your mother every teach you how to eat like a lady and not eat like a dog? You have some very bad manners there...
TP: GRRRRR.....
SS: OH MY! What big teeth you have, Tammy!...
So as she was going back up the stairs, Tiberius was on his way down the stairs holding his nose... Tiberius: Hey Tammy, go take a shower as stink like a wet dog... TP yells: Don't worry about my bathing habits.
Jeffery Dean riding his bike...
So while I was waiting around for my next class, I decide to go check out this science project machine outside to see what it is and what it does.
Then it was time for my next class which is to draw in our sketchpad while we sit out in the snow freezing off our rearends...
So while I was drawing, I had my little spy go and spy on Brian to see what he was up to and to see if he was seeing anyone behind my back. Of course I can't be one to talk since I have been seeing another guy or 2 back at home when I'm not here. So I guess my main concern is if he's seeing any guys since he was caught on camera kissing a guy last semester. Plus I haven't heard from him but the one time and he hasn't called me up for a date at all since being here which makes me wonder if he is seeing someone else or it could be that he has a full schedule of classes this semester that's keeping him too busy for any social engagements.
Before Brian ran to the edge of the lake, he collected what look like a flower from outside one of the buildings. (Didn't get a picture of him collecting the flower but did get pictures of him collecting other things around the campus.)
Here he is running to the edge of the lake to collect something from over there...
He comes upon a bird out in the snow and picks up and puts it in his pocket. I guess he didn't want the bird to freeze out in the snow...
So while my spy was following him around, she spotted a wild horse that looked like it had 2 heads but was actually 2 different color horses...
So then Brian saw some butterflies flying around and went to investigate them.
Brian caught a butterfly.
Now he's looking at the butterfly before putting it in his pocket. I wonder what he plans to do with the butterfly?
Then he was back down by the lake getting into a boat so that he could go out to the island that's in the middle of the lake.
It looks like he picked up a bug of some sort.
Then he was back in the boat to return to the main shoreline.

Nice to see S & N enjoying the stars.
@TadOlson CAS Overhaul mod? Do you have a link?
Caught up! I need to do some adulting things and then play my game for a bit.
Happy Simming everyone!
I've turned Story Progression off and am deleting stuff from their home lot(s) or putting it into their family inventory in preparation for the big move wether I do it with Porter mod or Traveler mod.
@TadOlson thanks. Yes my hard drives are a bit full too. I also use this computer mostly for work and that is what has filled it up as well as Sims.
Problem I have is my external drives are full, or almost full, and I need more space on external drives than I have to make sure I have the most up to date version of all of my data on it.
But, of course, as soon as I do that I'll get back to work and it will need updating again. I'll have to work out a method of keeping the external drives up to date. I'm sure there is a process I can use without having to have them attached to the computer all the time.
So far today it is working beautifully.

Thanks also for the lovely comments on my most recent update
@bekkasan Love the first pic of Alice and Gardenia doing magic!
I love when the kids don't want to get off the riders
The twins are adorable playing peek-a-boo
I wouldn't encourage drawing on walls! LOL
@TadOlson Thanks

And LMBO! I have NEVER seen a Sim drop their Popsicle like that!!!
Oh gosh I am laughing so hard I realize that I need to pee!
If its a fan, its could be as simple as muck/dust/plum clogging up. Then it'd need a whiff of high-pressured air to clean it out.
Had it been a desktop, it could have been the powersupply. That is also clean-able with air, but a mess to change if its the fan.
I think you should get away with it pretty cheapo. Good luck from one that recently toasted his graphics on a laptop. -That suck. A lot.

Day 215
Brogan needed a massage before the family came to breakfast
Brogan had a wish to catch a 100kg fish and while he was fishing he got his pregnancy notice
Michael had been cooking and was about to wander off to break space rocks but I had Brogan intercept him to announce the pregnancy.
Although the thumbs up is an inadequate response to the announcement, Michael made it up by giving Brogan a heat of the moment kiss
The kiss led to woohoo and while the boys were relaxing I had them whip out their pregnancy books
While reading his book, Brogan rolled a wish to eat pancakes. Since dinner was several hours off, I let him have them.
Michael reached level 7 in the cooking skill while preparing frogs legs for the family
Elva will be aging up in one day and I don't believe she has had a submarine adventure so I sent both girls to the bathrooms for a bit of childish, non-skilling fun
Shannon and Nevan got their favourite spot for watching the house
Since Nevan likes art, I sent him to the Art Gallery with Shannon. @Charlottesmom's family was there
While talking to Becky, Nevan rolled a wish to boast about his grandchildren

Hopfully the forums will be fixed this week so I can share pictures when I come home :)
Mazakeen, a five star celebrity and world famous chef were yet again off to a spiffy galla. The sun was shining and everything pretty perfect all over. -Except them paparazzis loitering on her porch.
"I have to do something about this. I can hardly get out the door into my limousine anymore."
"I better go get that dog to chase them off my property." -Mazakeen thought to herself, riding off to her late appointment.
While Mazakeen the next day went off to get the most rabid, bloodthirsty, mailman-chaser she could find.
Lilith gave Evelyn a small update.
"Mom is now off to fetch us a guard-dog to chase off unwelcome sims. Evelyn, I want You to be in charge of it. Train it, wash it, feed it. You know. Everything needed to keep it in top shape." "Sure, Lilith. You know I will do anything for this family."
The next few days, everything seemed to go well.
The Max, the muppet, uh, mutt was behaving well. it often came back quite dirty, but it behaved well, and never pee'd inside.
Evelyn really did her job well.
Mazakeen was one morning wondering why the dog ran off, but still the paparazzo and mailman were allowed to behave as normal around the house.
"This isn't right... ...Why didn't You chase that mailman off? I'd better talk to Lilith, and ask her what she actually told Evelyn to do."
"Oh, I am taking really good care of it. I love dogs. I play with it all the time. He is so cute, and all over me, all the time, I adore this dog it is so strong, but I love getting scratchmarks. I have plenty on my back! Want to see?"

/Sim on...

@ilikethesims30 Cool ballerina dance.
@mikezumi Enjoyed the update. Can't quite get used to Shannon and Nevan as elders.
@TadOlson Thanks! Great update on your CAW save.
@emorrill Thanks for your comments.
@Karritz Thats cool. Good luck with the hard drive issue. I finally deleted my multitude of saves from when I started playing in 2012 as I really knew I would not use those again.
@king_of_simcity7 hope you have a fun and great trip.
@Mazakeen I enjoyed the update. Cute dog! Need to try that 'eat 'em up' interaction. Think that is the cowplant though.
Working today, have a great day simming!

Thanks. I think it's a fan or in need of a good clean or both. It's been running all day today and it's been purring perfectly smoothly.
I've not played with my Photoshop elements program today. I think I've made and saved too many patterns in it recently as it seems to be using a lot of RAM and not working well.
I bought myself a new 3TB external hard drive today and am currently copying my data across plus all my Sims stuff.

@Karritz - Ah, photoshop is indeed taxing for not only ram, but also graphics-card. -It is VERY important to clean your fans if never been done. -Or photoshop might actually toast your graphicscard due to overheating.
Rawwrr...
I have it on a cooling pad and try to dust the inlets regularly. It's a gaming laptop so has lots of fans. But I will take it to someone to get it all fixed soon.

Day 216 - Part 1
Brogan was craving key lime pie but there was none in the fridge so I woke him half an hour earlier than the rest of the family to make it. It occurred to me later that Michael probably has a high enough skill level. Oh well!
While the boys were gardening, I noticed that Brogan had a backache. I had Michael give him a massage and the backache moodlet vanished but only for a few minutes so I sent the boys to the spa for a massage.
While Michael and Brogan were out, I left Shannon and Nevan to their own devices. They broke the hot tub while trying to woohoo. Fortunately Shannon maxed the handiness skill long ago as well as completing some of the handiness challenges so he fixed it in next to no time
While Shannon was working on the hot tub I had Nevan do a radiation experiment on a light beetle he had in his inventory. There was a pop-up that the experiment was a failure and that Nevan should be on the lookout for an escaped radioactive bug
When the boys got home from the spa, I had Michael work out on the barre while Brogan worked on a painting wish.
The boys didn't break the hot tub this time around
Shannon and Nevan had a game of table tennis. Poor Shannon got whacked in the head several times
At least he got a small measure of revenge by whacking Nevan once
Stoopid me! I saw there was a party at Ben Mullis' home. Although none of the family members rolled a wish to go, I had a quick look on the map and saw a party balloon over one of the houses and teleported Nevan and Shannon there. They were invited inside by Maya Mullis so it didn't twig right away.
They were soon joined by Niki Mullis, Eilish's daughter and mother of Maya. Then it occurred to me that I was at the wrong Mullis house! There are about 5 Mullis households in town and the party balloon confused me

@bekkasan Great update as usual your sis are up to laot.
@ilikethesims30 Great update
@emorrill haha sam is so hot there he can enver fail to not be hot
@Mazakeen Great wedding screens
Day 216 - Part 2
When Shannon and Nevan got home from the wrong party, I had Elva go to the birthday cake.
Not too bad but not my cup of tea.
A quick visit to CAS and Elva is now wearing her favourite colour and has a pretty new hairstyle
She approves
Elva had a wish to learn crocodile bait and Ita a wish to go on a joyride.
All the boys watched the house
Although I don't care much for blonde hair, I think it suits Elva
She has Michael's killer cheekbones

@Mikezumi - how do you get rid of the blur for showers and baths?
@CravenLestat - You know everything there is to know about EA worlds and premades; know anything about bin Sims? Do they change with each world or are they always the same no matter where you are?
Welp, I've been busy Simming myself, but I haven't been around much because I finally followed in @Karritz's footsteps and started my YouTube channel. Here's my first video if anyone is interested in checking it out:
Lucky Palms day 8: New Record and REVENGE
Started off my day by getting out my tent and spotted a Hottie Sim running across the street ran to her as fast as I could.And......
Was Lyla Langely NPC Social Worker GOT THEM HEARTS
But you know what this means if you were paying attention to the picture.
Here we go again
After that she ran to her house,Apartment lot
Tip Time: Guys every!!!! time put an apartment lot in your town.It not only houses your NPCs and Homeless Sim pool but the NPCs you would never see any other way in your game are out and about at venues etc.The homeless and NPCs will be around town just like your regulars like Jamie Jolina,Connor Frio etc.Plus anytime you want to visit any sim like the handyman girl or pizza girl or maid you think is pretty ring her there on the buzzer they come right to you and go ahead and take them on a date.
Back to my story,ran to the apartment lot to ring her.She came out and took my pic cause am a celeb.If you remember day one Lola is a celeb I had to impress her hook up etc making me one too.Anything like kissing,becoming a couple,woohoo,proposal,marriage etc are huge boosts to your celeb status.I think can get level 4 celeb just by that method.But Lyla gave me a vibe here look at her face she looks like a cute Pixie
Why look like a Pixie when you can be one...STALKER POTION ACTIVATE

EVANGELINE
Final tally 2,880
So while I was looking through my things, I notice that I have acquired a graduation gnome. (No picture of it yet, just the pop-up.)
So after I left the cafe, I went over to the science building to do my next day job which was to round up the escaped monkeys again...
This is my pay afterwards...
Jeffery Dean was in class at the science building when I went to do my day job as well as Brian Petersen. Jeffery and Brain must be in the same class together...
After I was done with the day job, I went back over to the cafe so that I could try to scare someone using the megaphone to complete the social group job. So I see Liz Tarry there and I go up to her to introduce myself to her...
SS: Hello, I'm Lisa...
Liz: Hello Lisa, I'm Liz Tarry. It's nice to meet you?
SS: It's nice to meet you too Liz...
Liz: Okay Lisa, see you around sometime...
So I leave so that I can sneak up on her to use the megaphone on...
SS whispering to herself: Sorry Liz, I don't mean to scare you but I need to complete this request for my social group.
So then later, I had another day job that I did, so it was back off to the science building to donate some plasma...
This is what I made for doing that...
Then afterward, I sit outside in the snow studying from my book. Since I've been here this semester, I haven't even yet study for my classes as I have been busy with keg/frat parties.
After a few minutes of sitting outside in the cold, I decided to go back to my dorm and finish studying where it's nice and warm at...
So while I was studying, Tammy Parker comes down the stairs to get a bite to eat.
SS thinking to herself: OMG, something smells pretty nasty here! It's like a wet dog smell or something...
Tammy was hungry for a hot dog...lol
SS: Hey Tammy, I just want to compliment you on your fur...
TP: Oh yes, I could be in film with this fur.
So then I proceeded to scold her for eating at the table like she did...lol
SS: Bad dog, you don't eat at the table like that. Didn't your mother every teach you how to eat like a lady and not eat like a dog? You have some very bad manners there...
TP: GRRRRR.....
SS: OH MY! What big teeth you have, Tammy!...
So as she was going back up the stairs, Tiberius was on his way down the stairs holding his nose...
Tiberius: Hey Tammy, go take a shower as stink like a wet dog...
TP yells: Don't worry about my bathing habits.
Jeffery Dean riding his bike...
So while I was waiting around for my next class, I decide to go check out this science project machine outside to see what it is and what it does.
Then it was time for my next class which is to draw in our sketchpad while we sit out in the snow freezing off our rearends...
So while I was drawing, I had my little spy go and spy on Brian to see what he was up to and to see if he was seeing anyone behind my back. Of course I can't be one to talk since I have been seeing another guy or 2 back at home when I'm not here. So I guess my main concern is if he's seeing any guys since he was caught on camera kissing a guy last semester. Plus I haven't heard from him but the one time and he hasn't called me up for a date at all since being here which makes me wonder if he is seeing someone else or it could be that he has a full schedule of classes this semester that's keeping him too busy for any social engagements.
Before Brian ran to the edge of the lake, he collected what look like a flower from outside one of the buildings. (Didn't get a picture of him collecting the flower but did get pictures of him collecting other things around the campus.)
Here he is running to the edge of the lake to collect something from over there...
He comes upon a bird out in the snow and picks up and puts it in his pocket. I guess he didn't want the bird to freeze out in the snow...
So while my spy was following him around, she spotted a wild horse that looked like it had 2 heads but was actually 2 different color horses...
So then Brian saw some butterflies flying around and went to investigate them.
Brian caught a butterfly.
Now he's looking at the butterfly before putting it in his pocket. I wonder what he plans to do with the butterfly?
Then he was back down by the lake getting into a boat so that he could go out to the island that's in the middle of the lake.
It looks like he picked up a bug of some sort.
Then he was back in the boat to return to the main shoreline.
A rainbow over the university town...
