Heath and Vale had wishes to fish before 6am. Poor Vale took a tumble
Landon made a quick call to his girlfriend and was late to breakfast. He had too many wishes so I got rid of the easiest, to chat with Alexis, while Eddy was serving breakfast.
I couldn't remember if Heath had unlocked the gardening skill so I had him water the garden. I still can't remember if he had or not
When the potatoes were ready for harvesting, Rain rolled a wish to catch a blowfish.
Zumi is not only brutal when playing catch with the kids! LOL
When Eddy got some gems back in the mail, he rolled a wish to become a business partner. I normally cancel these wishes but I figured why not since I don't know how long I will be playing this save. He now owns a share of the grocery store
The teens had a field trip to the Bistro. I don't think I have ever had 5 kids attend at once but they did for this one! Beautiful Beau was in charge
The teens did their homework together when they got home from the field trip. Rain's after school class had been cancelled because of the field trip so she didn't have to do hers alone this time
When Rain went to play catch with one of her siblings it triggered a hidden athletic skill point that she got on a field trip to the Police Station. She then rolled a wish to go for a jog. Since she also had a wish to find a rock, I had her jog to the rock spawner and back
Landon had a wish to spar. Glyn has already mastered MA so I had him spar with Heath to help him level up. When Landon won the match, he rolled a wish to master MA. Heath leveled up
Glyn came home with a wish to do a strength work out. I watched for ages trying to get a pic of a pained expression but his athletic skill must be high enough that this was a walk in the park for him
When the teens got home I got a Prom notice. I saw that Mindi was at the grocery store with her youngest sister, Lindsay, so sent him along. He ended up talking to Lindsay for quite a while and Mindi showed no sign of coming out so I gave up for the time being.
Vale did his homework alone. It will be a long time before he is a teen and I don't think there will be any more kids coming after him ... although you never know
Eddy and Heath are virtuosos so play instruments whenever they can. Although Landon was dancing to the stereo, not his father and brother, I thought he looked adorable
I had Eddy whip up a serving of autumn salad for dinner. It triggered a wish to increase his cooking skill which I happily locked in
I found Alexis at home so I sent Landon to ask her to Prom. She accepted
Mindi must have gone to the park after the grocery store and was still there when Glyn had finished his dinner so I sent him to ask her to Prom. She also accepted
Greg and his brother, Rodney, were heading to the gym. I had Darya ambush them on arrival
Darya has also secured a Prom date
Because I didn't want Landon getting up to mischief while romance was turned on so he could ask Alexis to Prom, I had him ask her to watch the stars while I dealt with the rest of the family.
I did the same for Glyn, although he is allowed romance, because I was juggling too many sims!
These two didn't need to be told what to do
Darya is officially ready for romance so I didn't mind when I came back and found her kissing Greg
When I checked on her a little later I was thrilled to see that Greg had instigated some star watching
Zumi and Eddy were being boring - Eddy was playing computer games and Zumi was reading so I had them take a romantic pic together
When Darya got home from the gym she started a pillow fight with Heath. It didn't end with a fight
@Mikezumi I enjoyed the updates. I love those exotic eggs for my poor struggling farmer families. Just have to remember to consign it before it rots! PU if you don't. Vale is so handsome! I love his hair! Poor Rain indeed. Blah homework. I keep meaning to let one kid skip homework and just do school opportunities to see what happens grade wise. But, I like smart kids so guess I'm to chicken to experiment.
Lol at the NPC, she got all the bad stuff. Poo hair, poor choice in clothing and patterns, ick face.
Great new family photos! Cute picture of Eddy knocking his knees after Zumi's throw! Homework! Misery loves company.
No more kids! You should stop when the screen fills up and you can't add anymore to the family picture. You still have lots of room.
Should be an interesting prom night with all those going! I look forward to that update.
@bekkasan Thanks for the lovely comments I don't really think I have quite given up on kids yet. Zumi may be an adult but Eddy is still a YA so you never know ... and there is lots of room on the screen yet
I have forgotten to sell the exotic egg once or twice - not good! LOL
I am also a chicken about the kids skipping homework. I remember years ago I aged up a kid on their birthday before they had done their homework and I couldn't pick a trait even though the kid had been on the honor roll right up until that missed homework
I do hope Prom night works with 5 teens and their partners going! The last one worked but that was only 3 teens and their partners. Now I am really pushing the envelope
Only Vale wanted to fish before 6am this morning. I let him catch one fish (a minnow) before going back to bed as it was only a little after 3am when I woke him.
The family had waffles for breakfast but only Darya rolled a wish to prepare some. She had to wait until after school because the kitchen was needed for Heath who woke with a wish to prepare a meal.
Rain woke with a wish to water the garden. I must have a lame sense of humour because I always laugh when Rain waters the garden
When Vale woke to go fishing, he rolled a wish to play with a toy.
Landon had a wish to break a space rock. He managed to do it just before the school bus came. He also leveled up to 9
After the kids left for school, Zumi and Eddy did the gardening. I asked Eddy to dispose of the barren plants. He didn't cry but he stared at this plant for the longest time before he removed it!
When I sold the money bags harvested from the garden, every family member rolled a wish to become business partners in 3 businesses. Why would the kids be interested? It's not like they will be leaving the house with more than what's in their inventories and a few thousand simoleons to get them started! Still, I obliged since Vale could use the LTR points towards the Fast Learner LTR. I sent Eddy to the bookstore and Zumi to the Spa to become partners.
When I was zoomed in on Eddy at the bookstore I heard the school bus and remembered that Vale had a field trip. Cid was in charge. Kirby Padalecki is the only other child at his school and he went too. The rest of the town's kids attend the other school.
I forgot to say the field trip was to the Science Facility.
Zumi and Eddy celebrated becoming business partners by rocking the treehouse
Zumi has had the opportunity to delivery excellent produce to learn how to grow cheese and eggs for a long time but I never got around to filling her inventory until today.
When she got home she planted two of each
Four of the teens came home together. Rain had an after school class so will be doing her homework alone once more. There's no point trying to get the other teens to wait for her because they will autonomously do their homework even if I stopped them on arriving home.
Glyn came home from school with a wish to spar.
You can see Darya in the background making the waffles she wished to make since breakfast.
Vale got home while Darya was putting away the waffles and the boys were sparring.
When Rain finished school she rolled a wish to visit the Library. Since she would be doing her homework alone in any case, I had her do it there.
I still had two Prom dates to secure so I sent Heath to the pool because I saw that Annmarie Serverus was there and she is the girl I have planned for him
I couldn't get Annmarie to get out of the pool so I left Heath there to swim. When I got back he was swimming with Annemarie and her father Cid I saw in his queue that he was going to splash Cid and I tried to stop it but was too late. I imagine when they next meet that Heath will owe him an apology
Eddy is super popular with the kids and if he is doing his own thing they will interrupt him without fail! I have even caught the kids trying to play games with him just as he is about to relax on the bed for woohoo!
Because I couldn't get Annmarie out of the pool I sent Heath home and instead invited her and Paul Taylor (for Rain) over using MC
Rain and Heath now have Prom dates
I quickly went into buy mode and bought a small table and some extra chairs so they could stay for dinner.
I had to stop my family from clearing the dishes because there is nothing more frustrating than when a guest wants to do it and everyone starts with the foot stomping and arm waving when they can't get to all the dishes. Neurotic Vale had a wish to wash dishes so I snuck a plate into his inventory for later
Eddy and Zumi watched the house after dinner. The kids and guests did what they wanted. Rain and Darya are playing catch in the background
Landon was dancing in his swimsuit and I decided he needed to get into shape for Prom.
I bought him a treadmill
Paul had been trying to do his homework since arriving but kept being interrupted by the kids. He must have got desperate and tried to escape to the nectar cellar but Glyn and Heath both got to him before he could get to the stairs As it was getting late, I sent the guests home when Heath and Glyn had had their chat
There were no wishes to fish before 6am so I was able to FF all through the night
Glyn woke with a wish to use the training dummy and Landon is working on a wish to break 100 boards. He is also close to mastering MA and has a wish for that locked in
Heath woke with wishes to speak to both parents which he did over breakfast. I sent him to the garden to try to trigger a gardening skill wish. He didn't roll one but he leveled up to 4.
Rain woke with a wish to make autumn salad.
Have any of you looked at a lettuce when taken from the inventory and placed on a counter/table? It is tiny! Thankfully they use a normal sized lettuce for salad prep!
Eddy and Zumi did the gardening when the kids had gone to school. When there was only one tree left both went for it but Zumi got there first. Eddy didn't seem to mind - he appears to be checking out her butt
I couldn't remember when Eddy and Zumi had last gone out so I sent them to the Art Gallery since both are artistic.
Sims can have very loud and strong reactions to art. I know that every Art Gallery I have ever visited has been as quiet as a church!
It would seem that Betty Serverus (nee Simovitch) has never seen a globe before
I realized that Zumi had never met Betty and that Eddy hadn't met Edwina (Eddie Starr gender swapped).
When Eddy became friends with Edwina he rolled a pic to take a pic with a friend
While they were at the Art Gallery Zumi rolled a wish to visit the local pool. Since it is next door I figured "Why not?"
Shannon and Ian Somerhalder were also there
When I told them to go home I was surprised to see "Go with" in Zumi's queue. I assumed Eddy would take his car and she would catch a cab but they went home together. This usually only happens for me when my sims are in a group situation.
Once Rain had unhidden the handiness skill at Shop class, I had Zumi take her out and put her in Art Class with her siblings. She doesn't have to do her homework alone now
Darya came home with a wish to paint something brilliant. She managed it before the day was out because it was a small painting. Heath came home with a wish to use the training dummy. This triggered a wish to level up. He is now level 4 Landon is still working on his wish to master MA and to break 100 boards.
Glyn came home with a wish to play the guitar. He was still playing when Vale got home from school.
Rain had a wish to go to the park. I sent her across the street. While she was there Jensen and his daughter, Mindi, arrived.
Eddy is the best father ever! He autonomously jammed with Glyn
I got Rain home in time for dinner. Heath was slow to the table because he must have been reading a good book!
Eddy had been recycling the paper (he's a perfectionist) when Zumi asked him to watch the stars
With only one day until Prom I had Landon exercise until bedtime. Glyn also exercised because he wanted to level up. He is now level 9
I saw that Darya and Rain were pillow fighting. Since the last few pillow fights in my household have ended well I knew my lucky streak would come to an end
I was right!
@Mikezumi I enjoyed the updates. I love the partner wishes. I lock those partnership and venue wishes as soon as they roll around. Nice points towards rewards once my sims can afford them, especially if the kids get the wishes too. Nice way to celebrate the partnerships. Great MA pics! Great that all the kids have prom dates! lol at poor Paul not being able to get his homework done. Love the outing pics for Eddy and Zumi. lol at him checking out her butt earlier. Landon must be slimming down nicely! Those are the pillow fighting pictures I know so well. I was just lucky with Alice and Adam
@Mikezumi , Gotta catch up! I was a bunch of updates behind. **I'm eating dark chocolate TimTams while typing this! YUMMY!!!!
**Darya caught a pufferfish...they should make Sims realistic and have whomever ate poorly prepared pufferfish die.
**Zumi's painting right before labor looks interesting!
**Um, Eddy that painting is disturbing!
**Vale is of course a sweetie!
**I may have already commented on this but the family picture with Heath making that face!! LOL!!
**Em is going to freak at the sight of Jensen in a doctor's coat, he does look very cute!
**"Satisfying Experience" why does that make me giggle! *Yes, I'm really 12*
**Kids bowling is too cute!
**Heath's expressions kill me!
**You sure do have a bunch of shirtless males at the table lately.
**Zumi's YELLOW hair!! LOL!!!!! Gotta love those teens....
**Teen Rain is very cute! Fishing for crocodiles...well I guess that is a fun Birthday activity.
**There is Rain in the garden! *snicker*
**Murderball! I do wish the higher level athletes were not so violent with the low level kids.
**Heath look too cute watering the garden in his undies..
**Ohhhhhh!! Beau as a chaperone! too bad he's wearing a shirt.
**Greg and his brother are adorable!
**LOL!! You laugh at Rain watering the garden too...I though it too earlier..
**Cool! I never do business partners...everyone wished for it?? Strange.
**C*yd!!
**and Skip!
**I was getting confused that I read his name wrong at birth, you kept typing Vane for Vale in one of your updates.
**Kids don't want to think their parents actually woohoo!
**I was surprised Heath is turning out strait...I was wondering if he was going to be next in line to the throne...this save has been very strait!
**Paul is adorable!
**Landon's tummy!
**You're gonna have some buff boys there!
@Charlottesmom Wow! Big catch up! Thanks for the lovely comments
You've always been good at picking up when I get names wrong! I need you to proof read before I post!
I figured since all the boys got daddy's chest fur they might as well show it off at breakfast I just hope they don't shed in the pancakes
It is a very straight game! I think I said to you that I didn't know how long I could play this save and that is because I am unable to let Zumi die. I had thought that when she and Eddy are elders that they could move in with immortal Shannon and Mikezumi but I am thinking that's pretty weird
@bekkasan How did I miss your comment?! My only excuse is that I just woke up and my first coffee hasn't kicked in! Apologies
Thanks for the lovely comments
Normally the pillow fights in my game end okay but I knew my luck wouldn't hold forever so I kept a close eye on this fight
The partner wishes are worth a lot! When I last played they rolled the next wish for 5 business but this time I cancelled. I really can't be bothered sending my sims out to collect the money every week.
The kids mostly are on track for the LTRs that I like them to have at their particular stages but it was nice being able to get Vale his Fast Learner one a little earlier than normal.
@Charlottesmom I am trying to get my head around this. Zumi won't be flirting inappropriately because Mikezumi and Shannon are her parents so I guess that means that only Eddy and Mikezumi could misbehave
@Mikezumi Morning coffee, very important part of the food groups.
You can collect the profits from the computer or tablet...my sims are lazy, but love those simoleons!
I would hope your sims would behave themselves, but, that is debatable as this is the sims as @Charlottesmom pointed out.
@Charlottesmom I am trying to get my head around this. Zumi won't be flirting inappropriately because Mikezumi and Shannon are her parents so I guess that means that only Eddy and Mikezumi could misbehave
@Mikezumi , Well I guess there would be no issue then. Though technically Shannon and Mikezumi are not really Zumi's parents, didn't you just age your older SS down? If it's not in the family tree it doesn't count...age down
Shannon and have double the fun!
Side note, I was trying to find where I stopped using part numbers on my Kate updates (Part 41)..makes finding updates difficult without going through every page!! I ran smack into toddler Nevan aging up into child....what a cute little booger he was!
@bekkasan Thanks for that info! I didn't know it could be done from the computer or tablet! You never can trust sims not under your control
@Charlottesmom I used MC to add Mikezumi and Shannon as Zumi's parents so there is no way they will play up.
Edit to add: Nevan was a cutie! Even as an elder
You really should keep your stories in notepad or Word like I do.
@Mikezumi Ok! I am done with Sam's story for now and am ready to start catching up on Zumi and Eddy! I have missed them!!
Not used to seeing your posts in Spoliers.
Also, Thank you for letting us know which Day you left off on from the other thread.
Alrighty here we go!
Day 62
Vale IS a nice blend of his parents. Cute outfit.
The way you capture the kid's faces during homework, love it!
Yeah I think I would've turned pregnancy off for them too. Those bunny rabbits!
Long distance shot of poo face! Nice!
*Gosh you rock at taking the family pics without pose player! Heath about ready to sneeze!
Day 63
Glyn is ready for romance now? Ohhhh boy!
Jensen in a white coat!! Ohhhh my gosh!! **Swoon**
Eddy looks pis*sed at that poo bag!
Cute walking pics of Vale. Part 2
Adorable snuggle pic with Eddy and Vale.
Mindi is pretty. Who's daughter is she again?
Love Annmarie's blue hair.
Naughty Landon skinny dipping at his age!
Jared. You really did such a great job on him. (Oh and for the record I think Jensen is hotter, but Jared is good eye candy too. Especially when he has shorter hair. ).
Sweet of Zumi to tend to their baby. She's be the perfect one to.
Day 64
Golly I wish hubby would make our bed once in a while. Eddy sure is a keeper.
Oh you're gonna trim out Landon eh?
Same here about the bug!
Thinking about your family of 8, I am tempted to send you a pic of my family of 9. It's from back in 1992, because we never got a decent family picture after that with marriages and other jazz going on, so it's of course my favorite. And you'd get to see me as a 7 year old.
Yeah yellow is not Zumi's color. I bet the teen that pulled that prank was like, "Serves you right mom and dad!" Part 2
Greg must be one of those guys everyone loves.
The boys look sharp in their Sim Fu garb.
Love Rain's age up outfit. She looks like Zumi.
*Lovely family pic again.
Day 65
We ladies are never cheerful making the bed!
Is there anything special Sims can do with exotic eggs? Or are they just for decor?
D'aw! Adorable Vale age up pics! Part 2
Poor Vale got knocked in the nose. Those hurt...
So you don't allow pudding sims to even interact with your sims?
Day 66
Landon's looking trimmer.
Eddy's like, "Woah! Easy there babe!"
Congrats to Eddy being the new owner of the grocery store!
Hey Beau! It is somewhat odd to see him as a human.
Hmm, in that case maybe he should ask Lindsay to Prom. j/k Part 2
Landon dancing.
Glad to see the girls, and Greg, accepted.
Aww, teen romance. Sounds like Greg is perfect for the family.
Day 67
Do you laugh when she waters the garden because you really don't care for female sims and feel she deserves to work like that?
Breaking a space rock sounds like it would KILL with pain!
Your family is going to own the town soon!
There are 2 schools in your town??
Rocking the treehouse! Part 2
I guess Eddy is just that good of a dad.
Master Controller works its magic again!
I have a mod that stops the foot stomping. It's been WONDERFUL and I will NEVER play my game without it!
Landon dancing shirtless! Nice treadmil. (I need to get on one of those myself... )
Day 68
Huh. Guess I never noticed how small the lettuce is. I have noticed how some items that should be small are as big as Sim's heads!
Of course Eddy would check out Zumi's bu'tt!
Cute selfie pic of Eddy and Edwina. (Those two would probably make a cute couple in another save. ). Part 2
Father and son jamming. Cute.
Will Landon be trim in time???
Sorry if all that's too overwhelming to read and comment on @Mikezumi , but I just had so much to say! Wonderful updates! I hope you continue to play as this family for a while.
Gotta tend to some other feedback and then on to adulting. Ugh.
@emorrill What an impressive catch up! I am totally overwhelmed by your lovely comments
The joke about Rain watering the garden would have been obvious, I thought. Rain (the stuff that falls from clouds) waters the garden all the time
I will definitely being playing this family for a while longer. Not sure how long as I don't want Zumi to die but I will play First I need to see if adding Ambitions affects the stability of my game before opening my other saves which I have moved to another part of the computer for now.
Thanks for your comments - I really do appreciate it *hugs*

Eddy is the best father ever! He autonomously jammed with Glyn
I got Rain home in time for dinner. Heath was slow to the table because he must have been reading a good book!
Eddy had been recycling the paper (he's a perfectionist) when Zumi asked him to watch the stars
With only one day until Prom I had Landon exercise until bedtime. Glyn also exercised because he wanted to level up. He is now level 9
I saw that Darya and Rain were pillow fighting. Since the last few pillow fights in my household have ended well I knew my lucky streak would come to an end
I was right!

**Darya caught a pufferfish...they should make Sims realistic and have whomever ate poorly prepared pufferfish die.
**Zumi's painting right before labor looks interesting!
**Um, Eddy that painting is disturbing!
**Vale is of course a sweetie!
**I may have already commented on this but the family picture with Heath making that face!! LOL!!
**Em is going to freak at the sight of Jensen in a doctor's coat, he does look very cute!
**"Satisfying Experience" why does that make me giggle! *Yes, I'm really 12*
**Kids bowling is too cute!
**Heath's expressions kill me!
**You sure do have a bunch of shirtless males at the table lately.
**Zumi's YELLOW hair!! LOL!!!!! Gotta love those teens....
**Teen Rain is very cute! Fishing for crocodiles...well I guess that is a fun Birthday activity.
**There is Rain in the garden! *snicker*
**Murderball! I do wish the higher level athletes were not so violent with the low level kids.
**Heath look too cute watering the garden in his undies..
**Ohhhhhh!! Beau as a chaperone! too bad he's wearing a shirt.
**Greg and his brother are adorable!
**LOL!! You laugh at Rain watering the garden too...I though it too earlier..
**Cool! I never do business partners...everyone wished for it?? Strange.
**C*yd!!
**and Skip!
**I was getting confused that I read his name wrong at birth, you kept typing Vane for Vale in one of your updates.
**Kids don't want to think their parents actually woohoo!
**I was surprised Heath is turning out strait...I was wondering if he was going to be next in line to the throne...this save has been very strait!
**Paul is adorable!
**Landon's tummy!
**You're gonna have some buff boys there!
All caught up!! Awesome updates!!!

You've always been good at picking up when I get names wrong! I need you to proof read before I post!
I figured since all the boys got daddy's chest fur they might as well show it off at breakfast
It is a very straight game! I think I said to you that I didn't know how long I could play this save and that is because I am unable to let Zumi die. I had thought that when she and Eddy are elders that they could move in with immortal Shannon and Mikezumi but I am thinking that's pretty weird

@Mikezumi ....And the problem with that would be??
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
Thanks for the lovely comments
Normally the pillow fights in my game end okay but I knew my luck wouldn't hold forever so I kept a close eye on this fight
The partner wishes are worth a lot! When I last played they rolled the next wish for 5 business but this time I cancelled. I really can't be bothered sending my sims out to collect the money every week.
The kids mostly are on track for the LTRs that I like them to have at their particular stages but it was nice being able to get Vale his Fast Learner one a little earlier than normal.

You can collect the profits from the computer or tablet...my sims are lazy, but love those simoleons!
I would hope your sims would behave themselves, but, that is debatable as this is the sims as @Charlottesmom pointed out.

@Mikezumi , Well I guess there would be no issue then. Though technically Shannon and Mikezumi are not really Zumi's parents, didn't you just age your older SS down? If it's not in the family tree it doesn't count...age down
Shannon and have double the fun!
Side note, I was trying to find where I stopped using part numbers on my Kate updates (Part 41)..makes finding updates difficult without going through every page!! I ran smack into toddler Nevan aging up into child....what a cute little booger he was!
*Fairy Jared and Vampire Connor*
@Charlottesmom I used MC to add Mikezumi and Shannon as Zumi's parents so there is no way they will play up.
Edit to add: Nevan was a cutie! Even as an elder
You really should keep your stories in notepad or Word like I do.

Not used to seeing your posts in Spoliers.
Also, Thank you for letting us know which Day you left off on from the other thread.
Alrighty here we go!
Day 62
Vale IS a nice blend of his parents. Cute outfit.
The way you capture the kid's faces during homework, love it!
Yeah I think I would've turned pregnancy off for them too.
Long distance shot of poo face!
*Gosh you rock at taking the family pics without pose player!
Day 63
Glyn is ready for romance now? Ohhhh boy!
Jensen in a white coat!!
Eddy looks pis*sed at that poo bag!
Cute walking pics of Vale.
Part 2
Adorable snuggle pic with Eddy and Vale.
Mindi is pretty. Who's daughter is she again?
Love Annmarie's blue hair.
Naughty Landon skinny dipping at his age!
Jared.
Sweet of Zumi to tend to their baby.
Day 64
Golly I wish hubby would make our bed once in a while.
Oh you're gonna trim out Landon eh?
Same here about the bug!
Thinking about your family of 8, I am tempted to send you a pic of my family of 9.
Yeah yellow is not Zumi's color.
Part 2
Greg must be one of those guys everyone loves.
The boys look sharp in their Sim Fu garb.
Love Rain's age up outfit.
*Lovely family pic again.
Day 65
We ladies are never cheerful making the bed!
Is there anything special Sims can do with exotic eggs? Or are they just for decor?
D'aw! Adorable Vale age up pics!
Part 2
Poor Vale got knocked in the nose.
So you don't allow pudding sims to even interact with your sims?
Day 66
Landon's looking trimmer.
Eddy's like, "Woah! Easy there babe!"
Congrats to Eddy being the new owner of the grocery store!
Hey Beau!
Hmm, in that case maybe he should ask Lindsay to Prom.
Part 2
Landon dancing.
Glad to see the girls, and Greg, accepted.
Aww, teen romance.
Day 67
Do you laugh when she waters the garden because you really don't care for female sims and feel she deserves to work like that?
Breaking a space rock sounds like it would KILL with pain!
Your family is going to own the town soon!
There are 2 schools in your town??
Rocking the treehouse!
Part 2
I guess Eddy is just that good of a dad.
Master Controller works its magic again!
I have a mod that stops the foot stomping.
Landon dancing shirtless!
Day 68
Huh. Guess I never noticed how small the lettuce is. I have noticed how some items that should be small are as big as Sim's heads!
Of course Eddy would check out Zumi's bu'tt!
Cute selfie pic of Eddy and Edwina. (Those two would probably make a cute couple in another save.
Part 2
Father and son jamming. Cute.
Will Landon be trim in time???
Sorry if all that's too overwhelming to read and comment on @Mikezumi , but I just had so much to say! Wonderful updates!
Gotta tend to some other feedback and then on to adulting. Ugh.
The joke about Rain watering the garden would have been obvious, I thought. Rain (the stuff that falls from clouds) waters the garden all the time
I will definitely being playing this family for a while longer. Not sure how long as I don't want Zumi to die but I will play
Thanks for your comments - I really do appreciate it *hugs*
