    In my last update, the twins became children! Charlotte aged up with the Genius trait and her brother Charles got the Cat Lover.

    Even though Charlotte is a genius she is quite the comedian and is always cracking jokes with her mom.

    While the males in the house bond over chess and their love of strategy.

    Charles is very much trying to be like his father and it is just adorable to watch these two.

    With the holidays approaching and Jenn's belly growing more and more every day the family finally got around to putting up the tree.

    Charles is very excited for Christmas and can't wait to see what presents he got.

    Speaking of her growing belly, this pregnancy has been pretty rough on poor mini Jenn.

    I think she is pretty much over it at this point. (I feel bad because I increased the pregnancy days so poor Jenn has been suffering because of me)

    Sadie had a birthday recently and the grays have settled in, but that doesn't keep her from smiling.

    But then again with ages comes other things and poor Sadie got sick for the first time in her life.

    Jenn put on a brave face and took Sadie to the vet clinic in town.

    The vet was super nice and very patient with Sadie while he worked on her.

    Jenn got the best treatment money could buy and Sadie was back to her old self ♥

    As soon as they got home Jenn's water broken and she was rushed to the hospital, where a very happy doctor was there to greet her!

    Luckily she only had one baby this time and she named him James.

    Hmmmm....should I buy the Cats & Dogs expansion...or a new planner? Decisions...decisions!!!

    @Rawla Omg, congrats?? on the quadruplets!!! Great names too!

    @OJenn I LOVE the build you made for @debjameswhite!! Also that Christmas tree in your sims' house is gorgeous! And Jenn is so beautiful!

    @Heckstress17 Yeah that red hair though...craziness!! I'm getting a little tired of it lol So sad you lost a dog and a cat in your game :(

    @Francisca464 I love your new couple!!!

    @debjameswhite I really like Gianni! He looks so different and unique. Greysen sure has a hilarious outfit haha. I think MC Mod can be used to clean outfits, but I haven't figured it out yet! Patches is adorable! I'm always afraid I'm going to close my window when I'm updating too lol

    @JordanNicoleJJ Omg, that look on Sylvester's face!! So is this pet running away thing a common happening with the expansion?

    @Luclylu Thanks for the info!! Your blog is beautiful!

    @NicoletteSims Welcome to the challenge!!!
  • debjameswhitedebjameswhite Posts: 1,612 Member
    @OJenn I love how cute your kids are. I love that Charlotte is a little jokester and the boys playing chess that's always one of my favorites. OH I love your tree! It just made me realize I haven't done any holidays in the sims! Awww poor mini Jenn! How could you do it to her?! :) Awww poor little Sadie getting sick. I'm glad the vet could fix her up for you. Baby James looks so pale! I can't wait to see him age up!

    @NicoletteSims Welcome to our challenge and welcome to our multiple curse! I'm looking forward to seeing your family.

    @Meeshelby Buy the sims and make a planner...that's what I would do! :) Bullet Journal ftw! I keep mine in a traveler notebook that I made mysel :)

    I have just a tiny update for you tonight :)

    Chapter 14: Cats are Great

    Patches often talks to Gianni from this vantage point.

    yCmZ9.png

    I was so angry. Gianni went home to visit and Toby picked then to die. I was hoping I wouldn’t see it this time :(
    yCn1i.png

    He was glad he had Patches to go home to.
    yCn1T.png

    She’s really sweet.
    yCn4f.png

    She also loves the cat wand.
    yCn5b.png

    She’s not the only woman in his life though.
    yCn72.png

    Jordyn’s parents were there and wow was Sasha big! She had a second set of twins!!
    yCn8S.png

    They made it official and had their first kiss.
    yCnb1.png

    Gianni’s dad was there too. Jeesh!
    yCncq.png

    Oh, and finally, Gianni got a promotion at work and was able to update some of his counters. He still needs to do something with the uppers though!

    @debjameswhite I totally need to get better at bullet journals! I don't feel like I know how to do them very well. And I'm too picky. Anyhow...Cats & Dogs wins! lol

    There are some weird things happening in my game. Multiples are out of control. So many townies are having triplets. Also, Gianni keeps going to the sink and it says "wash dishes" but there are no dirty dishes and he just stands in front of the sink with that though bubble popping up over and over and over. I'm not sure if it's because of cc or a game glitch.

    Oh I forgot the reason I was going to write this post! Also, Gianni never has to do the daily task for his career. It always says it's complete.

    Hey guys! Sorry for not being around much the last couple days. It's just a super busy time of year. I've hardly been home. I have been keeping up with the updates though! I'm really looking forward to sitting down and playing. It's been about a week since I've really played. I'll be back tomorrow or Monday to do comments <3

    Also @debjameswhite my game has been super glitchy too! I'm down to almost no CC, basically just my defaults and the command center, yet townie spawning is out of control and I'm constantly having to reset my sims. I haven't installed the most recent MCC update. I'm hoping that'll help. If not I might just remove it :/ Can I please get the glitch Gianni is getting with his jobs daily task being completed though? lol

    @Rawla Thanks!! I'm trying out the Cats Rule, Dogs Drool challenge. Your quadruplets are definitely identical!

    @debjameswhite & @Heckstress17 Sorry for all the troubles you're having. I'm sitting down to play tonight, so we'll see if I have any issues...

    @everyone .... Finally, after 8-ish months....I am bringing you an update; just a quick one. Mind you, the photos from this update were dated a year ago in October!!! That's insane! Where does the time go?

    An old townie, Paolo Rocca finally passed away (he was around FOREVER! Maybe because he was a level 10 in fitness?). And Richard’s mom, Claudia, passed away as well.

    @Meeshelby - Triplets! They are so cute too! Love those eyes. And the color of hair! Gotta get me some in my line someday. Awesome update! I'm curious, where can I find this Cats Rule, Dogs Drool challenge? And yes, I think you're right about my quads being identical.

    I've installed the latest MCCC 4.0. I haven't tweaked any of the settings yet so they are at default. I'll get it done next time I play. This week is going to be insane in real life, so I might not be on too much. Hubby is going in for surgery. :cry:

    Edit: I've tweaked MCCC settings. Most my Sims can have in a single birth is 3. It'll be interesting to see if I still get the multiples curse. lol

    Chapter 15: Growing Up

    Things were getting serious between Gianni and Jordyn. Patches followed them on their date so they asked to sit outside. Yes his parents are there too.
    yDDPM.png

    At least Naomi took Matias behind Gianni’s back before doing anything that might embarrass her son.
    yDDQ8.png

    The next day I took Gianni to the park to look for some plants. While I was looking (without any luck) he bumped into his mom and all on their own they started playing chess. Just like when he was a child.
    yDDSF.png

    He still goes home to work out.
    yDDTe.png

    So Gianni’s been thinking a lot about his future but one thing he needed to do first was pay back his parents.
    yDE6q.png

    His father was really proud of him when Gianni handed him a check for the money he’d borrowed, plus interest.
    yDE9t.png

    Then to slow things down further, pour little Patches got sick.
    yDEba.png

    Finally Gianni was ready to make a move that would change his and Jordyn’s lives forever.
    yDEe0.png
    yDEen.png
    yDEeU.png
    yDEfF.png

    Later in the lounge she tickled him mercilessly. I love the look on his face.
    yDEg9.png

    In addition to paying off his parents, Gianni was able to buy a new bed. No more air mattress!
    yDEjK.png

    He’s feeling much more comfortable now!
    yDEku.png

    He also installed new floors.
    yDErE.png

    Patches also approved.
    yDEof.png

    Then he asked the love of his life to move in.
    yDEpz.png

    We found out she works for the space program and she’s pretty high up. Gianni found her uniform to be very hot!
    yDEsi.png

    I thought they were adorable in their pajamas.
    yDEuS.png

    Eventually, it was time for their big day.
    yDExo.png

    They wanted to get married on the water.
    yDEBp.png
    yDEzQ.png
    yDEC5.png
    yDECG.png

    Greysen doing pushups at the reception.
    yDEDO.png

    Then they went on a honeymoon.
    yDF4p.png

    Gianni loved being able to grill.
    yDF68.png

    Of course Patches went as well.
    yDF7J.png

    She loves stalking things.
    yDF9E.png

    She did not love Gianni’s guitar playing.
    yDFF6.png

    At least not at first. Soon she was singing along.
    yDFcK.png

    Jordyn loves the outdoors and her and Gianni had a great time fishing.
    yDFhZ.png
    yDFig.png

    Then they played horseshoes.
    yDFjP.png

    They cloud gazed.
    yDFkw.png

    Then I noticed this…
    yDFlk.PNG

    So it was time for a talk.
    yDFlX.png

    And it was time for a reaction.
    yDFn3.png
    yDFnu.png

    You all know what this means!
    yDFo4.png

    Remember Greysen’s oldest daughter in the Oasis Springs’ story? She looked very similar to Jordyn.
    yDFqx.png

    Not quite quads…triplets. I let the game name them. Londyn, Sloane and Quinton.

    @debjameswhite - I can't express with words how much I loved this latest update of yours. There are so many funny, endearing, wonderful, awesome things to count. Well done!!! <3 Congrats on the triplets too. xD
  • OJennOJenn Posts: 8,429 Member
    @meeshelby - Hooray for Cats and Dogs winning the vote!

    @debjameswhite - Cats do love their vantage points :wink: And looks like Toby's time has finally come, he lived a good life nonetheless. I loved seeing Jordyn and Gianni together and congrats to them on becoming official! They look like they had a nice dinner date even with all the familiar faces around. And congrats on their engagement and marriage! Gianni's place is really starting to take shape, I am so proud of him!! Congrats on all the babies.

    And some of the glitches are game related, I think EA will have one more patch this month.

    @Rawla - The kids do look pretty identical, especially the boys!

    @Meeshelby - D'aww Amanda is super cute. The curse continues. I like Adelynn and Keenan are my favorites but I think it's because they have Richard's eye shape. Leanna has a very fierce look to her.

    Everyone - Mondays are my days off so I hope to get some play time in and have an update too. Fingers crossed!
  • LuclyluLuclylu Posts: 437 Member
    @Meeshelby Yay for cats & dogs! Great update! I’ve always wanted to have a red headed clan but always worried it will carry one and then get sick of it lol

    @Rawla Hope everything goes good with his surgery! I can’t get over how much alike they all look!

    @debjameswhite Haha that’s adorable that Patches followed them on their date :heart: Congrats Gianni and Jordyn! Oh wow triplets! Everyone’s having multiples lol


    Everyone - I’ve been trying to download MCCC and it’s there, shows up but still doesn’t work :disappointed: So I think I’ll give up on that and get back to playing some more.

  • Heckstress17Heckstress17 Posts: 2,306 Member
    Comments! I really hope to get time to play and update this afternoon. I'm thinking about switching to short lifespan to speed things along. With all of the glitches I've been having time has been moving painfully slow in my game.

    @debjameswhite - You've gotten so far ahead! :o I'm jealous! Patches is the cutest sim cat I've ever seen?! I love the pictures of him on top of the refrigerator. Oh no Toby! How unlucky that Gianni was visiting home when it happened. I am really loving all the date pics at the Oasis restaurant. We should just call it the Wolfe family restaurant since they love it so much <3 Jordyn is the female Greysen in my eyes, she looks SO much like him. I'm so glad Gianni proposed. The location was beautiful! I love those shots. Their wedding on the water was also great. Jordyn's dress looked like it was made for her. I really like her tall slender figure. I know she's not really taller then other sims, but there's something about her build that makes her seem that way to me. Their honeymoon in Granite falls was fun to see. I saw some houses for there that I wanna download so I was planning to take my sims there soon too. Ah surprise triplets!!? How long was their honeymoon?! :joy: Good luck with them! You're better at multiples then I am. I'm sure you're doing fine. Oh and by the way Gianni's fixer upper is totally making me want to have a heir do the same.

    @OJenn - Your family is coming along so beautifully! The white Christmas tree with the blue presents is gorgeous! I love how the boys are bonding over chess. Poor mini Jenn and her extended pregnancy. She looked gorgeous though! omg in the picture of Sadie before she got sick it looked like she's smiling for the camera. The waiting room of the vet clinic looks amazing. The vet wasn't too hard on the eyes either :D I LOVE the name James! Welcome to the family little one! I saw a spoiler of him on your blog. Too cute!

    @NicoletteSims - Triplets omg :D Hope you're having fun!

    @Rawla - Good to hear MCC 4.0 is seems to be fixing things. I swear your families are getting more and more attractive as you play on. The quads are so cute! I think they look a lot like their Dad.

    @meeshelby - I can't believe it's been 8 months! I love how the sims is one of the few games you can play after that period of time and pick up right where you left off with no problems. Social butterfly Amanda is too cute! I love that she visited her Grandpa, and it was really nostalgic to see Ridge again too. Poor Maggie having triplets! But hey at least Keenan doesn't have the red hair you're sick of! omg Derek :joy: The woman just had triplets give her a break!

    Do you have script mods enabled in your settings for the game? I put MCCC in its own folder within my mods folder so that is it seperate. I think that helps.

    Ya, I followed the YouTube videos and different instructions but it’s always the same. The notification on the top right hand pops up (but doesn’t say MCCC and the version but the subheadings) and then a ton of orange blank ones pop up. I’ve tried screenshooting it but every time I paste it, it’s blank. Weird lol

    Edit: My folder looks just like yours, I’ve ever took out all CC but still had the same issue.

    Sorry for being MIA this week--it's finals week and I've been studying non-stop. Next week I'm moving into my new apartment and starting to work again, so I may still be too busy for Sims, but we'll see! I'll at least try to find time to comment :)
  • OJennOJenn Posts: 8,429 Member
    @Luclylu - And you have the latest version? 4.0.0? (Sorry if you answered this and I missed it)
