No update on Caleb and Emily today. Sorry @JULES1111, I know they're your current favorite haha. They'll be up once I've got everyone back at the same age.
Leslie and Jess were next up on the rotation and they have moved into their own house and had a baby as well. They welcomed a little boy into the family named Cameron.
Next up was Ralph and Gabrielle, who are finally in the house I built and with enough money to fully furnish it! I had completely forgotten about two of the rewards for the business and used them to get an extra $20,000 and then sold the business for $46,000. They had enough to buy the lot and furnish most of it. The day they moved in, Ralph was promoted to the top of the music career, earning them enough to furnish the rest of the house and achieving his lifetime want. They also got pregnant and welcomed a girl into the family, named Natalie.
Lastly, I played Connor and Pamela very briefly, mostly because I had to build their house from the ground up. I've been trying to place the families in pre-built houses, but all of them are two bedrooms and I knew that most of the families would probably have more than one child. After fiddling around with a couple of houses in Veronaville, I got fed up and decided to build my own again. I tried really hard with their house, as well as Gabrielle and Ralph's home, to make them match the rest of the houses in Veronaville. They barely had enough money to move in and the entire house was unfurnished with the exception of the bathrooms and kitchen, but thanks to Pamela's former profession as a Professional Party Guest, she had a number of high price items in her inventory (a dance machine, two DJ booths, etc.). These pictures were taken before the house was furnished. If you look in the background of Gabrielle and Ralph's home photos, you'll actually see Connor and Pamela's house. They're next door neighbors .
> @Scribal_Goddess said: > Holy crumbs, it's wedding season in this thread! Haha, my "middle child" in one of my Sim families recently got married. I'll post about it later...
Um... I may have made a mistake. I used the in-game story album thing to take pictures. And they're tiny. Is there a full-sized version of these pics saved in a folder somewhere, or are they stuck being that small?

Hi
There are Thumbnails (tiny) and Snapshots- and it depends on what you have your game options (small, medium, large). Large is only 600x450...
Options, Camera Options- Large Size and High Quality.
I would also look for a 3rd party screenshot program. There are free ones out there.
You really motor in your game lol I love the statement that the houses were not large enough so made my own-) If only I had that skill your builds are lovely and I think it's nice they are all living next door to one another All those lovely babies in the hood too great update
@SPARKY1922 I'm in between jobs at the moment so I have a lot of free time on my hands haha and when I get into the game, I really get into it. So, I'll usually play it a lot for a couple of weeks and then take a break.
Yeah, all of the larger houses in Veronaville are the lots that have two house structures connected by a walkway and I rarely have any of my sims live in those. I originally was going to move Gabrielle and Ralph into one and make the second structure the business, but again, it was too small.
I really appreciate the compliment I've never seen myself as a great builder, that's why I usually stick with the pre-built houses.
huh didn't realize we had a new page heh. @classicXcrime I really love their house
First had to get Don a new roommate and a different place to stay then he invited over three of his girls so they could meet the new one.
He kissed her in front of them to make sure it was clear that she was the one he wanted, after all he made a habit of sneaking around the one he doesn't have shame to show off means more for his type.
Cassandra was next then the engagement was broken off so they can be mad and he can move on with his life.
They're cute together, I took these the other night and I think her name is Suzanne I made her and her cat Leona.
Next some family counseling for the pleasants.
Things were going well but when Lilith slapped Angela she was furious and refused to talk anymore, so I took away free will and their parents effectively stopped her from going after her sister again.
Daniel let Kaylynn stay over who was still upset over Don though he ignored her, when Mary sue was fired, I was aiming for that, he kissed her again Kaylynn was forced to accept she means nothing to a man.
It took a lot of cheating up their moods to keep the family going and remind them what is important in their lives.
When Nathan was born Lilith could say she was friends with her twin and their parents and they could say the same about her, Lilith already loves her little brother.
Next...well probably have to get the goths out of their house and get Cassandra situated with someone new.
Reddestiny921 on the gallery...still not sure if I capitalized the second d..lol
All the sims err'day

@classicXcrime Awe... No alien babies... I do however see other babies! They are so cute. You did a really nice job with your builds, I like the homes.
@JULES1111 lol I don't know maybe she's stuffed in a closet stuffing her face with cupcakes, but really just thought maybe I could attempt to give them some love I mean the family that got it the most was the Moles and it's been awhile I should attempt to recreate what I had ha.

Not in game, but I managed to make some nice alien skins to spice up my technicolor population a bit. I'm not quite done (some fiddling in simPE to make them genetic is needed,) but I'm planning on releasing them for halloween, since they all have fall leaf themed names and colors.
Hi everyone, and thank you for the kind reception back in August @Tw1st , @JULES1111 , @RedDestiny92 and @SPARKY1922. I'm playing a Strangetown Megahood in (slow) rotation, with the custom Land Grant Uni and no Pleasantview, just to change things around a bit. No matter what, Uni always slows my games down a bit, so now I have rules for whether the teens get to go or not. ...Maybe too harsh rules, because this round, almost nobody gets to go, haha.
So today Tank Grunt married former bartender Allura Kyle in my first ever community lot wedding! It went surprisingly well, but maybe that was because she had no family and he doesn't have too many friends.. Anyway, she took his last name, thus advertising her ability to the world - she could, indeed, Allure a Grunt. ;)

Ooooo... Sounds Wonderful! Can't wait to see them and try them.
Had a little time to play this morning and I finally have everyone at the same age again! Now I'll have to be a little more strict about my rotation timeline.
Today I focused on Connor and Pamela. Now that the house is finished, it was time to focus on their careers and growing the family. Connor had already reached platinum status and was at the top of the music career, but now wants to reach the top of the law enforcement career, so we switched his career at the first opportunity. Pamela's lifetime want was to have 20 best friends, which was achieved today. It was a bit of a struggle at first, getting the last five. I had Pamela throw a party at the house and they had three fires! First Connor's pork chops caught fire in the kitchen, and then the fireplace lit the family room on fire, twice! Needless to say, the fireplace will be decorative from this point on.
I had put Pamela in the dance career at first, which she was doing well in, but her new lifetime want is to be like her husband and reach the top of the music career. That job hasn't popped up on the computer yet, so she stuck with the dance career and reached the top of that. Then, they finally got pregnant! After a rather uneventful pregnancy, Pamela gave birth to two girls, Arianna and Amy.
Next up in the rotation will be Caleb and Emily. I'm excited to see what the babies end up looking like when they get older.
*Question~~ How long do I have before a female pet can't get pregnant? I don't want too many pets on my lots.
Thanks!
Well they stay pregnant about 3 days like a sim, so I would guess a few days before they turn elder, like sims. Adult animal life is about 25 days, so I would aim for the 20 day mark or so when having a litter.
@Scribal_Goddess Oh awesome! Can't wait to see what you come up with!
Anyway, she took his last name, thus advertising her ability to the world - she could, indeed, Allure a Grunt
Lol, your pretty clever there....
@classicXcrime Yay for getting everyone in sync. Lol, maybe that fireplace needs to be cleaned, what a health hazard! Awe the twins are adorable. Hurray! I get to see the alien baby next!!
Played quite a bit between last night and today starting with Caleb and Emily . Mostly I just focused on getting the kids aged up. Caroline and Orion are now children and are ready to take on the world. With an interest in music and dance, Caroline will most likely become a popularity or family sim in the future. Meanwhile, Orion has an interest in games and will most likely become a knowledge sim like his father. Side-note, found out today that tired toddlers will sleep on the pet beds? Quite a surprise when I found both of the kids at different times sleeping on the cats bed.
Next up was Leslie and Jess. Having both reached platinum status, it was time to determine if a change in career was needed. Leslie's new want is to have 5 top level businesses, a challenge that I am not quite ready for yet haha. Jess, on the other hand, wants to join Leslie in the medicine career, which we started working on. Little Cameron has also aged up into a child, though his main hobby interest has not been discovered yet.
Lastly, I played for a little while with Gabrielle and Ralph, who I discovered are still slightly younger than everyone else. Natalie has been aged up into a child and Gabrielle and Ralph got pregnant again and had twins! They had one boy and one girl, named Tyler and Madison respectively. Unfortunately, I didn't get any current pictures of them, but I do have a snap shot of Natalie as a toddler.
@classicXcrime Awe the kids are all adorable! Yes toddlers will sleep in pet beds if they get tired. They will also eat out of the pet bowls if they are hungry. Yay for twins! I love having twins.
So my family have finely move in their new house. Remember the Sue family ? The parent of the 2 girl were still alive so i decide to finely play them. The couple had one child, she marry one of the wilson's twin and had one child, Valeriane. She lives next door to her cousin Luna. Moana is Luna's little sister, she lives with her mother, who had a successful store but had sold the store because she was getting too much old, so she went back living with her daughter.
This house were supposed to be the Halliwell's manor from charmed, sims 2 version, but it's definitively not the same, but turned out well.
@Rflong7 How in the world are they starting with so much money? Oh my gosh they look like a family of zombies. Are they a family of zombies?
@lulubadwolf Nice house. I think it came out well. I can see the look you were going for, not bad. Would be hard to make the Charmed house without a lot of CC I think. I believe someone on MTS made one, I seem to remember seeing it.
@JULES1111 I guess they do look like Zombies with the CC skin. No, it's that mom (she just aged to elder) is holding the toddler and the baby is sitting on the ground (in the picture).
I like the house and it's layout is great! @lulubadwolf
I restarted my Hopeless Apocalypse... I left the old one too long.
Anyway, they're named Ball again so the first child is named Butter (Mom is Aerial).
The options made me smile because I never noticed them even when I used them last time. XD
