Thank you sweetie so much! I am now going to have a look at this site and most likely join up. I've been stressing not knowing if i will be able to continue to load my links.... hate that photobucket has changed i've used it for years, but oh well sometimes out with the old and in with the new.
CHAPTER 7
Part One – The turning of an Era, Foals 31 & 32.
With so much that had happened, the family decided to take time to rest the mares for a little while, they both are almost at the end of their breeding carers and everyone wanted them to have a short break, the mares deserved a short break. EvanStaar will be the last stud for these girls, so a nice break was well deserved.
With all the children growing up, Dannii, Autumn, Mitchell and Elvis had moved out. Kahlan and Richard along with Amber still resided at home.
EvanStaar continued to be trained, Maxx loved being on horseback and spent most of her time on a horse. Training caring and most of all loving them.
Domino also got royal treatment, Evan spent a lot of time with her, caring for her needs and giving her a ride, Domino has maxed out all her training, but she still loves to be ridden and more so compete.
Destiny’s Child too loved to be ridden and also had maxed out her skills. Jessy missed Snow but enjoyed her time with Destiny.
However one too many fire jumps was enough for Destiny and set Jessy on fire.
Evan saw Destiny walking back home without Jessy so he went to investigate and have a chuckle to himself.
He decided to take Domino over the fire jumps and didn’t seem have an issue. He continues to smirk about it.
Rain hail or shine, Maxx’s dedication pays off EvanStaar loves to work and he jumps almost all the jumps with perfection.
Evan Chuckled too quickly he too got caught on fire too, looks like Domino was the one having the last laugh here now.
Kahlan Wolfgang had aged up nicely and is a complete fitness fanatic, time was coming for her and her brother Richard to decided where and what they would do with their lives.
{totally not sure what happened here but one of my sims is a dwarf}
Richard like his parents a humanitarian loves to catch and release little critters.
Amber is the only child from Evan and Jessy who decided to stay, her love for horses is strong and she looks up to her Grandmother as a role model, she wants to be just like her. Amber spends daily grooming and caring for the horses after school, and studying when she has spare time. When Amber made the decision was wanted to learn from her grandmother and stay and live on the farm. Evan and Jessy decided to also leave and go on a long awaited holiday. Amber is left behind with her grandmother Maxx and Step Grandfather Brad.
Amber is a hands on girl just like her grandmother Maxx and instead of studying riding in a book, she takes to the experience, she never anticipated it to be this scary….
EvanStaar has finally sired two foals. Domino gave birth to a little filly named Thelma
And Destiny’s child gives birth to Thelma’s half sister Louise.
Little Thelma from a different angle
And Louise finally up on her feet ready to investigate her new surroundings, we not only were blessed to have got two filly’s but Louise was blessed by her mother and was born a unicorn, we won the jackpot with this breeding!
Destiny’s Child and Domino had made it in the nick of time, both ladies were now celebrating their birthdays and retiring from breeding to become elders.
Destiny was the first among the girls to have her birthday, however Domino followed closely.
With everyone cheering the ladies on, Domino now also joins her partner Destiny and has a graceful birthday.
After the celebrations Maxx continues to tend to her garden and amber who is a green thumb comes to join her.
Maxx takes EvanStaar for his last ride to the Equestrian Centre and finds him a loving home, he has done them all very proud and she makes sure he will get the royal treatment with his new family.
Thelma and Louise spend their day playing with each other and having fun on the private training ground next door.
The half sisters are very close and always doing some thing together, sniffing out new things or getting up to mischief.
And most of all entertaining one another.
The love between the two girls is very strong, always looking out for each other.
Sharing secrets and pampering
Telling each other hopefully stories and dreams
Most of all playing together and almost being inseparable.
Just being pesky little foals while they can.
Maxx as always looks after her horses, and Destiny gets her royal grooming and caring for, always followed by hugs and whispers.
And even a ride with the occasional Heroic pose, Despite Destiny’s age she still knows how to bring a smile to her sims face.
As always Destiny returns the love and nuzzles with her sim, the bond is strong.
Destiny’ wastes no time in blessing her sim too.
But Destiny’s eyes seem far away today.. Maxx can feel something is wrong.
She embraces her girl and tries to understand what it is that Destiny knows, that she hasn’t worked out yet.
But Destiny knows it has come time….
Domino was playing with her ball when she had a sudden urge to stop in her tracks.
He returns once again.. Maxx now knows why Destiny was so far away…. Grim Reaper has come to take her girl away from her, once again Maxx would feel that crushing pain of loss. Domino looks to her sim and says her farewell, she is to join her mother in the afterlife.
Maxx can’t only howl in pain, as she knows there is nothing she can do now.
Domino turns to comfort her as best she can but still she is ready to depart to the afterlife. Destiny sends her whispers…
Grim Reaper is torn as he knows his job is hard for his friend, He has become very fond of Maxx and hates to hurt her, but he knows she is aware he will look after all the sims he takes with him.
Domino does the final lap of farewell…. Amber has arrived to see what all the fuss was only to realize that Domino is leaving.
Destiny frozen… having a hidden communication with Grim Reaper… stands waiting…
Grim Reaper embraces Domino and assures he she will be safe.
Domino waits patiently and gracefully…. Grim Reaper mounts her and allows the family one last goodbye.
And in a blaze of smoke they both depart to the afterlife.
The girls shattered and broken grieve for their loss of their beloved domino.
The grieving doesn’t stop…
Destiny calls to the skies…. She knows something more is coming…
Destiny raises her head and like a regal proud unicorn and calls to the wild. Maxx and Amber still in disappear.
Grim Reaper returns…. It is not just one mare he takes today but two. Maxx and Amber do not even see Grim Reaper returning
Then they spot him, he has come to take Destiny to her resting place also.
Even Grim Reaper bows to Destiny. Maxx and Amber are completely torn.
Destiny lets everyone know she will go out with a leap and never be forgotten.
Grim Reaper embraces her and assures her she will be with her mother and safe.
And like a regal patriot that Destiny is she rides out to the afterlife with complete grace.
Maxx and her granddaughter Amber are in complete shock and lost for words
They spend the afternoon mourning, but then Maxx realizes that Thelma and Louise have just lost their mothers and are still babies……
The girls tend to the foals comforting them and trying to help them heal.
Thelma and Louise love the love their sims give them but they still grieve for their mothers.
Louise the more sensitive one gets Maxx’s time and attention, Maxx assures her that she will be safe and adored, both of them will and both will grow up into strong regal girls like their mothers were. She promised them for as long as she lived, and even past her life she would ensure no one ever sold them but let them live out their lives on the farm, and one day they would be reunited with their mothers.
Both of the babies listened to their sims comforting words… and Paparazzi like always sniffing around.
That evening was a quiet one at the ranch. I couldn’t help chuckle Louise was amusing herself with the car in the driveway lol
Amber took some time to study, everyone feeling very sombre and heavy hearted tonight.
CHAPTER 7
Part Two – The Wedding - next generation, new stallions.
Having lost their two prime mares and only Thelma and Louise left, Brad and Maxx decided it was time to buy a Stallion or two to be able to train and compete with until Thelma and Louise were old enough to breed. When they brought a stallion called Aries Camacho they never bargained to end up with two extra foals, but they did. Canarie and Bailey were also joining the family
Never imagines on owning 4 foals at one time, all motherless…. But Maxx was confident between her Amber and Brad they should be able to manage, if not she might have to hire a helping hand.
Thelma and Louise in their separate stalls having a nap, it has been a long day for the girls.
Bailey also made use of a stable to catch up on some baby sleep. He had a huge day with events too.
Maxx and Brad retired to bed after they settled the horses, they were completely exhausted.
Amber also having a deep sleep after the past day.
Once Morning arrived Amber decided to make some pancakes for her grandmother and try out her new cooking skills.
Maxx appreciated not having to cook but never said how awful they were, she knew in time Amber would be a good enough cook
Amber went to the city hall and registered as a horsewoman, however her heart still hurt from the day before.
The girls decided to meet the boys.
And enjoy in some horseing around.
Amber decided to take Aries out for a ride and get her riding skills up, also to familiarize herself with him, and let him experience his new neighborhood.
She still found it a little scary but slowly was gaining her confidence.
Brad had started a new job, but he wasn’t enjoying it, once he arrived home decided to feed some very hungry foals.
Amber continued riding Aries and he was getting to enjoy the sites of his new home.
Brad continued to feed the foals, Bailey was loving his new food.
Maxx fed Thelma until she was satisfied.
Canarie was next in the feeding….
The next day Amber continued to ride Aries, she wanted to compete and be just a good horsewoman as her Grandmother is. Aries being such a strong horse, she found her riding skills were quickly climbing up.
Maxx tended to her growing garden.
Bailey was the first foal who decided it was time to grow up.
And grew into this enormous stunning Stallion.
He was so big that even Brad’s limbs struggled to mount him {lol I died laughing when I saw this}
Brad took bailey for his first ride, the rain came down pretty hard but neither of them was bothered by it, enjoying the ride.
Amber started Aries on some light jumps slowly building up her own confidence to try the big jumps.
A crack of thunder and lightning hit and Aries got so spooked her threw Amber straight off his back.
Amber never having been thrown off a horse realized how sore she felt when she hit the ground.
She told Aries off but knew he was startled. Aries was sorry he did but he got scared and didn’t know what to do.
Bailey was already dreaming of competing, he loved the running part and was climbing up his skill meter quickly.
That evening when Amber returned she met Paul Whelan, Brads good mate came to offer help with the foals. Amber and Paul spoke for a while, Amber realizing how much they had in common and what a nice chap Paul was.
Amber enjoyed having someone her age to talk to and share the love for animals with. The foals slowly were put to bed one by one and Paul and amber continued to chat away.
They spent time talking and getting to know one another, amber realized that Paul was actually a really nice person and she was very attracted to him, he is kind and gentle and pretty sexy in her eyes…. But she kept her composure not to give too much of her attraction towards him away.
They became good friends and Amber felt very comfortable with Paul. Paul on the other hand was smitten with Amber, being a gentleman and never having a girlfriend he was nervous too, he didn’t want to scare amber off. So they talked and told stories and experiences….
The horses gathered around ready to get put to bed, meanwhile Paul just couldn’t keep his feelings for amber and he went in for a kiss. The horses watching as a new romance was unfolding…..
Amber felt a little goofed and sloppy and as she had never been in love or kissed didn’t know what to say, she liked Paul a lot and had that fluffy feeling, she didn’t push him away from the kiss, actually she wanted more but was too shy to tell him, however she moved closer… hoping he would embrace her in his strong arms.
And he did, Paul was so taken by amber, he just grabbed and kissed her, she was stunning, beautiful and such a soft person… Amber didn’t push him away… she felt like a princess and really special.
They embraced and kissed the time was standing still for these two, they heard and saw nothing but each other.
Paul wasn’t giving up as he saw a future with her. Amber fell in love, was it possible to be in love at first sight… she pondered? Regardless of the rules in life, she didn’t care, she felt safe and wanted Paul.
What they both started to feel was very strong and real….. Paul touched her he was gentle and Amber didn’t refuse anything he did.
Paul didn’t waste time he knew Amber was a catch and he wanted her to be his fiancé… so he went on one knee and hoped she would say yes?
And she did. Amber couldn’t believe it, it all happened so quickly she didn’t have time to breath. But she said YES! OMG she was so excited.
After they had put the Aries and the foals to bed, Amber invited Paul to stay the night, it has been a long day. Once they got to bed they spent some time talking and sharing dreams and experiences. Amber grew nervous, Paul was too but it all felt so natural.
Naturally the cuddling and romance came into it too. Amber felt all grown up next to Paul.
And finally they had some naughty time too
However both were rudely interrupted when Maxx decided to walk in and attend to her wardrobe. Paul felt very uncomfortable but Maxx never said a word she trusted Amber to be old enough to make up her own decisions. Amber on the other hand was on another planet… she had found love and lost her womanhood to a man she felt was the right one. That night Paul had moved in to join the family.
The time had come for a marriage, Paul was a romantic and he wanted Amber to have it all, honestly so did Maxx. Amber would be the first one to have a wedding party and she wanted to have as many family members come as possible, along with friends. Maxx went all out on having the farm decorated for this joyous occasion. Amber was pregnant and not showing her baby bump just yet but she was only days away and they didn’t want her to look pregnant on her wedding day.
Everyone slowly gathering around to watch the ceremony. Paul and Amber ready to begin their vows.
They wait patiently for the rest of the crowd to gather and join them in the exchanging of the rings.
Family slowly gather and Evan and Jessy are as proud as punch, Evan watches as Jessy starts to cry over their little girl finally getting married.
They exchange their rings and say their vows.
They are now married.
Family all cheer and watch in ore… the girls hearts all flutter…..
Amber and Paul see no one they are just in their each others embrace, feeling complete and fluffy.
Everyone continues to cheer and celebrate for them.
Amber waits for Paul to join her in the cutting of the cake.
Everyone watch and celebrations continue to be happy and high. Maxx is as proud as she could ever be.
After the cake, Paul and Amber have their first waltz as husband and wife.
Brad and Jessy hit the dance floor too.
Maxx approaches her proud son for a dance also.
Dancing, party, talking, laughing, joking - it is a happy eventful night. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves to the max.
Paul and Amber still in each others arms worlds away locked into each others gaze.
Paul still can’t believe he’s married.
He shows Amber some more of how much he loves her.
Then some hit the Karaoke with the local paparazzi.
Brad decides it’s time to have a birthday while all the celebrations are taking place.
And he joins Maxx in retirement age.
The following morning they enjoy breakfast outside before the huge cleanup
After the clean up Maxx went on a little quest and found some potion, so she drank it….. but was not sure what it would do. {I actually went through her aspiration points and saw she had a lot so I brought this potion I had no idea what it would do…. I too was about to find out…}
The ground began to shiver beneath her and she started to feel tingles… what was happening?
Then she changed… she drank some youth potion and turned back into a young adult. Lucky for her she had a spare one to give to Brad…..
Brad too drank the potion… and he started to feel a little tingly.
Then the burst of light emerged….
And he too was now a young adult again…. Maxx had managed to restore both their youths… they could live a longer life together…
Brad wanted to try out his new body again, so he wasted no time in luring Maxx to the haystack…
Today's chapter is a little different as i have now changed a image holding site, thank you @ElijahsBabyGurl9 for the information.
All previous images were uploaded to photo bucket but with the threat of having pay for it, i will be taking the time to removed the old images and amend the posts, in hopes no images fails.
CHAPTER 7
Part Three – Growing up, training & the beginning of the 4th generation
It was time for the girls to age up, Louise was the first one to have her birthday and she turned into a stunning unicorn.
Thelma also aged up and Paul decided he would learn how to ride on her, he was new to riding but he loved horses and too wanted to be like his wife and join the horseman career. He still had to learn to ride before he could do that, so he set a goal for himself.
Maxx took Louise for her first ride out, to train her in saddle and let her experience the beauty of being a horse.
Brad continued to ride Bailey, he had quit his job as a police officer and took on being a horseman too.
Maxx showed Louise what it felt like to have some competitions. She entered her into a couple of beginner competitions, and although they didn’t win Louise got to experience the thrills.
Brad continued to train Bailey, he worked on his racing skills, Bailey was flying through his skill levels, in no time he would be competing.
Amber who is heavily pregnant and couldn’t ride, tended to the garden, harvesting and keeping the plants happy.
The next morning Maxx took Louise to her private training property and showed her the racing poles.
Paul continued to ride and train Thelma and his own riding skills were getting better.
Brad continued to train Bailey
But he also stopped to tell his beloved that he was thinking of her.
Canarie had grown up too, as Bailey was already trained under the saddle and now was happy to train on his own, Brad decided to show Canarie the training grounds and what was expected of him.
Canarie had other ideas, he didn’t like having a sim on his back.
Brad let him know that was no acceptable and he was to show love and be accepting of sims on his back.
Maxx spent time with Aries. He had been training hard on his own and she wanted him to know she was proud of him. With how hard he has been working, he has been winning some nice competition entries for the family.
Maxx took Aries for a ride, he is always ready to compete, so getting his skills up and maxed out as much as possible is on the agenda. He was fast and showed a lot of potential.
Aries in no time maxed out his racing skills and he was flying, Maxx knew he would continue to win competitions with the speed he had on him. But the time would come to have to sell him too… either way a nice ride it always sought after.
Canarie enjoys the jumps and takes to training on his own now.
Louise too loves to run, she trained on her own on the racing poles. However being heavily pregnant to Aries she is taking her time in training.
While all the horses were training and being trained by Paul, Brad and Maxx, Amber continued to harvest the goods from the garden. She made a huge amount of money from the harvested crop.
Maxx took Aries onto the harder jumps and he was a complete natural, flew over them like a duck to water…
The next day Paul had registered himself as a horseman, and took Aries to the town with him, sadly his skills still needed to be worked on as he mounted Aries the wrong way.
Paul continued on with his own training and perfecting his riding skills. He needed to become a strong professional rider as he knew he would be a father soon.
That evening Maxx tended to the garden too, to give herself some quiet time. She was feeling a little ill.
Canarie had been training hard and Brad had a bright idea to enter him in his first competitions.
They set off to compete.
Amber had given birth to quad triplets {my first time in the game, actually left me shocked}. Four girls, they were named Opal, Venus, Genevieve and Cosette. Aries waited for Paul to take him home while Amber took the girls home in a limousine.
Once home Amber put one by one into their cots, two more cots were needed to be bought as it was an unexpected birthing of 4.
Amber snuggled with each baby as she put them down to rest.
After some bonding time Amber put little Cosette into her new bed too. Now she could get back in with training of the horses.
Brad had maxed his riding skills out… and worked Canarie hard on the jumps… meanwhile in the background there… Brad decided to do some acrobats on Aries…????
{Has this ever happened to any of you before? I never seen this and thought huh? I never knew they could do this, but I actually think it’s a glitch lol} Either way pretty good glitch lol
After Paul had finished goofing around he continued to train Aries and in no time also maxed his riding skills. The two men worked endlessly, training the horses.
The Quads were aging and growing up, life had been busy with training of all the horses, foals about to be born and the girls all growing up and learning new skills. Time was passing by and everyone was really busy at the Mystique ranch.
The girls spent time out learning new skills, Cosette was already getting celebrity adoration, people stopping in the street to take photos of her even to ask her for autographs… all new to her, she just wanted to learn.
Amber continues to train and ride, Bailey has now maxed out his skills and had added some nice winnings to the funds.
The girls never complained and do their homework, studies and love to paint. Each one has different skills they like to work on.
Thelma was the first one to give birth, Aries had been a busy stallion and impregnated them, tonight was the night the new foals would join the family. Thelma had given birth to a little filly, she was named Venus.
{I saw the bubble above her head and thought omg she’s going to have 2 foals, but no it was one, might have been Louise’s baby that was being born at the same time?}
Louise also gave birth to a little filly, which was named Luna.
The two little foals were welcomed into the family. It wasn’t long before they would look around their new property.
Venus didn’t take long to sniff around {I love how Saffrons while line has continued through the breeding}
A better angle of the line….
Maxx continues to tend to her garden, which was really bringing some good harvests.
Brad had mastered his riding skills and Canarie was also slowly maxing out his racing skills.
Venus takes some time to play around on the training ground.
As does Luna.
The young girls spend time talking to one another, and bonding. Knowing that they too will join the training ranks once they grow up.
Paul takes Louise out for some training.
Brad works Canarie on his racing skills while Amber woks Bailey
Amber tries for the harder jumps with Bailey who doesn’t seem to have a problem with them, almost perfect jumps every time.
Excellent update! Love the foals. Your last update was quite a heartstring jerker. I'm glad everything worked out okay... and quads...O_O are Maxx and Terrwynn secretly plotting....she cursed me with 4 babies as well 2 girls 2 boys on top of the 5 children and 6 teens she already has?! OMG...I'm gonna restrict her from having anymore children for a while...(and she's the only one with Fertility Treatment lol). Nick is happy as a clam, 8 of those kids are his, one is half-alien, 3 are his granddaughters and the other is Terrwynn's from Alistair...Aicarumba they love kids too much...picking my 2 heirs is gonna be hard. May need your help dear ~_^
Thank you lovely! x OMG YES they are sooo plotting against us! LOL I swear Terwynn and Maxx are sisters in their past lives or something. I would love to help you decide... i know it's a personal thing too, is there one child that sticks out and you really like having them around?
That's what i do to help me choose and it's been hard as there have been a few.. yikes.
I'll have a better look at them through your earlier threads and see which one i feel would be good... I also let them age up and see as teens who might be the better one, i have had a couple I've picked but just didn't want to stick around, eg upon growing up their traits had changed.
Maxx too is the only one with fertility too. Non of the others so I'm stumped as to how Amber her granddaughter has had quads (no fertility treatment). AND WANTS MORE kids... no way... she's done (actually they have one more)... You know what they did during game play, i moved them out and they had triplets on their own so she's got 11 children in the end lol I was shocked when i was playing and then all of a suddent there was more siblings i was like huh where they come from and i'm not controlling them. lol
Yes it has been a heart jerker even for me when it all was happening, but i was strong and kept playing lol, the first time i found it really hard with Chivas and Saffron, it is getting easier, tho i have to say wait it gets even more tear jerky soon.... i was actually blown away as it was free will of the sims that ended with the results. I love just watching them. We have some very special Sims in our worlds, really do!
Thank you sweetie and i put up the intro for the new challenge too Was thinking of you when i did it. Also sent some gifts and thank you for yours it will help them so much especially as they are really poor atm
No new updates sadly until i get a new HD put into my pc, my pc keeps crashing i cannot play the game, today buying a new Hard drive to have installed and backing everything up so that hopefully i don't lose all my sims and relationships and families.
I will return once i'm back with a semi new machine
CHAPTER 7
Part five – Birthday Party, growing up and Foals 35 & 36.
With funds rising and the family being classed into the rich side of life, they decided to invest their money into a much wanted necessity. The front paddock was converted as an entertaining area and a decent sized swimming pool was added to the front part of the property, paddocks were opened up and made into one large area for the horses.
With the new pool in place it was time to call some family and friends over to enjoy a nice pool party.
Everyone seemed to be having a great time.
Finally he party had come to an end and everyone slowly departed for their homes.
Maxx decided to entertain the horses, and some family members were still high from the party, they joined in to dance.
Paul and Amber remembering their beautiful wedding night, couldn’t help but feel romantic again.
And try out the new hay bale for some fun.
Amber of course pregnant again.
Maxx continuing to tend to her garden. And almost mastering her gardening skills.
The time has come again for yet another party, the quad triplets were aging up and being such a big family now, Maxx, Amber and Paul wanted to throw them a nice birthday party. Wish such a huge family, some would miss out on invitations, but non the less everyone was happy to attend.
People started to gather but what no one expected was a visit from grim reaper, sadly one of the stray dogs that comes to visit, passed away just as the party was starting.
Grim Reaper did what he had to do and sent little Stray dog on his way to the afterlife. Everyone watched in shock yet confusion as no one knew him.
Maxx as always being a huge softie couldn’t help but cry and mourn the little stray dog.
The entertainers began to entertain he children, despite of what was going on, to divert the attention.
Finally the party could get started and the girls we in position to have their birthdays.
Once by one they began aging up, Venus being the first.
Followed by Opal
Then Cosette
And finally Genevieve
Celebrations continued
As the DJ never turned up Maxx decided to try her hand at entertaining the crowd….
And thankfully some took to the dance floor
Maxx seems to be doing an ok job on the DJing…
Birthday night seem to happen with a couple more surprises, Thelma decided to bring a little filly name Cher to join the family.
Everyone gathered to congratulate Thelma on a great job and see the now joyous addition.
Louise decided to join her half sister and also give birth tonight. And gave birth to a little colt who was named Sonny. Bailey had been successful in becoming a father.
Everyone gathered around to admire the little lad and noticed he was a unicorn like him mother.
The festivities didn’t end here… Little Venus was also celebrating her birthday tonight.
Luna also aged up and celebrated her birthday.
Celebrations will still taking place as some people just party all night long…
Cher decided to investigate some birthday cake..
While Sonny looked around his new home and watched a little chipmunk running around his hooves.
After all hands were on deck and everyone finally left and cleaning up was completed, the farm was put back into a working farm again… business was back to usual.
Genevieve decided to try some riding for the first time.
Brad immediately took to training Venus under saddle
And Paul took Luna for some training under saddle.
Thelma taking the time to enjoy some ball playing, or have a quick nap….
Amber like her grandmother a green thumb attended to the blossoming garden that was in need of some tlc.
Cosette tried out riding on Canarie and like her sister was not impressed how scary it was.
Sonny and Cher took the time to bond their friendship and play together.
Brad took Venus on the big jumps and she didn’t have a problem with them at all.
Paul taught Luna the racing turf.
Cosette and her sister Venus still working on their riding skills, both not overly happy how scary it is, but slowly getting better at it.
Opal on the other hand preferred to tend to the garden, she didn’t care much for riding.
Sonny and Cher continued to play….
Sneaky Louise didn’t like one of the paparazzi and set him on fire…. {I was busy watching the foals when I got a notification someone was on fire, so I looked to find this… Cheeky Louise she really is something lol}
The maid couldn’t help but laugh at what she saw.
After he did the much amused fire dance, the house keeper finally put him out, not before she had a giggle. Maxx was a bit late to attend to his aid but stood around to watch him be put out.
Not sure if he will be back again lol
The foals continued to frolic and play, amusing themselves.
The girls slowly picking up their riding to a trot.
The men swapped the horses on different training regimes; Luna was now on the jumps and Venus on the racing poles, both knew it will be time to sell the girls.
It’s been a long day for everyone. Sonny enjoying a little roll before bed time. Amber still working the garden. She had harvested and collected so much produce, it was a decent amount she could sell.
Venus loving the horse riding and as she’s now into a gallop, lets the time slip away.
She is pulled up by the police and escorted home.
Cosette too got brought home by the police and Brad was there waiting for her to scold her, she begged for forgiveness, he did forgive her but she was not to forget her curfew again.
Cosette set out the next day to continue learning her riding skills, she absolutely loves being on horseback.
It was time to sell Luna, she was sold for $12,930
Brad sold Venus once she was fully trained for $12,865
Brad brought Cosette a little Arab called buddy from the Equestrian Centre for Cosette to learn and practise her training on, she was the main one out of the quads to be highly keen on the horses, as the stallions were getting sold and so were the growing foals to make room for future breeders, Brad thought it might help Cosette to have her own horse to learn on.
Cosette wasted no time and was practicing her riding.
Sisters Venus and Genevieve decided to help mum Amber with the gardening.
Some time had passed and it was time for Sonny and Cher to grow up.
Cher the first to age up.
Followed by Sonny
Brad and Paul both tended to the new adults… Both were huge horses.
Paul took Cher down to the training grounds and immediately pushed her to the big jumps, this girl was a born jumper. With level 9 when she was born she jumped without a problem in the world.
Brad took Sonny for his first ride and training.
Venus enjoyed painting and continued to work on her skills with art.
Meanwhile Maxx took a relaxing moment in the pool followed by her great granddaughter Venus who joined her in the cool water too.
Part One - The true magic of a Unicorn's power and foals 37 & 38.
Days and time as always is flying past at the Mystique Ranch.
Amber was due to give birth once again, she really is taking after her Great Grandmother Maxx in the baby birthing side of things.
Paul met up with Amber at the hospital; Amber gave birth to triplet boys, Caspian, Oliver and Joshua. {Quads just weren’t enough lol}
Sonny was fully trained now and Brad decided to put him up for sale, Sonny sold for $12,668
With so much activity taking place and the new triplets, and with new stallions soon to be purchased it was time to sell all the stallions, or send them back to their breeders, however Maxx like always took her horses for their final ride before they would be re-homed or sold. Canarie was also successful in assisting with the 50 foal challenge in his siring of two beautiful foals, Maxx knew it was time to let him go too.
Paul took Cher for her last ride she was fully trained also and she was sold for $12,945
Ceaser took the time to run around and investigate his new home and surroundings.
He is joined by his half brother Eclipse in the inspections of their new home.
Of course like all the foals before them, they take the time to share their biggest secrets and who they like or don’t like.
And discuss matters of the Birds and the Leaves.
Naturally like all the foals, they engage in some much needed fun time of horsing around.
Play time of course continues between the two half brothers.
These two are already showing signs they want to race. Both anxious for the need for speed.
And chase time is a must for the boys.
*******************************************************************
Time has been progressing everyone was slowly aging up.
As all the family are partied out, they didn’t have the need for big celebrations, but rather some private ones. Brad is the first to age and join Maxx in retirement age.
The triplets decided it was time for their birthdays too. One by one they aged up also.
But as always birthdays don’t stop with one or two, the boys decided they wanted to grow up and start their lives as adult horses.
{I accidentally snapped this so thought I would share a aerial view of the Mystique Ranch and surroundings, The track next to it, is the family’s personal training grounds too.}
It was time for training, despite the weather… Brad took Ceaser for his first training under the saddle.
Paul wasted no time with Eclipse and hit for the high hums, Eclipse flew over them with ease, and in the background it looks like the local horses were rounding up a criminal….
Brad worked Ceaser hard, working on the racing track then the jumps.
After a long hard days work of riding, it was time to sell the boys, there were big buyers interested in them, so it was time to let them go to their new homes.
Eclipse also joined his new family and was sold. Naturally not before he did his unicorn call of the wild pose.
Meanwhile events were taking place at home.
It was like Maxx had known, she went into her shrine area and…. Yes it was time…
Amber was the only one home along with some nosy paparazzi as per usual, the boys were selling the horses at the time. Amber came running just as Grim himself was arriving. Maxx just waited.
Maxx got her gravestone and Grim as per usual was giving his speech of all the lifes good and bad doings.
Maxx had no bad, Grim assured her and bowed to her presence, this was hard work even for him. He was very fond of Maxx and usually hung around after he had taken a soul. But now it was time for Maxx to say farewell to all she had achieved and to all she loves.
Grim continues to cuss at why his job is made so hard at times.
Grim finds this the hardest part of his job, it’s almost like he’s not wanting to take her, but he knows he has to. Amber is shattered.
Maxx looks at her gravestone…. And waits for her acceptance to depart the wonderful world she had created, all the lives she has loved and whom she still loves.
Maxx turns to Grim to ask him what is taking so long? Amber suffering not knowing what to do, but cry.
Grim shakes her hand, she has achieved the most he’s ever know, even in his eyes she’s a superstar that left her mark.
Maxx jumps in and is gone. Grim stands there watching as Amber screams with pain.
Grim just frozen standing there… even he can’t believe she’s gone.
Brad just made it home to see Grim standing there, but even he is shocked and cannot believe that Maxx is no more.
He even decides to give Grim the death stare, yet treads carefully as he knows grim will be coming for him one day too. Louise decides to come to see what is going on.
Louise being a arrogant and proud Unicorn barges in, she wants a closer look at her beloved Maxx’s grave and Grim who still stands there frozen in shock.
Grim who loves to takes souls try to show his strength off to Louise.
Louise doesn’t buy it, she approaches him confidently.
Louise nudges him to tell him what she thinks and feels.
Louise gives him the unicorn stare, she continues to talk to Grim, he took her mother and Great grandmother… he has taken many… but this one one person that hurt the most for her…
Louise continues to negotiate and talk to Grim, who is shocked at her allegations and implications.
Grim almost insulted but he listens, and he knows she’s right in many ways..
Louise continues to talk to him about love and how it is a blessing, how much someone can feel for another…
She nuzzles Grim showing him affection, that it’s a beautiful thing, showing him that he’s taken the one thing that keeps her heart beating. {at this point in the game I had to click on her to see what she was doing… I had no idea what actually was happening… the game was pretty much playing out on it’s own}
She continues to nuzzle Grim, who isn’t as bad as everyone feels he is. He actually enjoyed her affection.
And to her request he brings Maxx’s spirit out of her grave…. {I was sitting crying and in shock at this point I can tell you this much}
Maxx just waking up from her sleep begins to feel a warmth throughout her spirit… Louise stands back and watches.
Grim has given her life back, he honored Louise’s request and has given her one more chance to enjoy her life.
Maxx cannot believe it, she can feel her body once again. Louise stands watching Grim with appreciation. However Grim has others in mind….
Maxx confused as to what’s just happened, gets comforted and loved by Louise who was her gift in life, she had her resurrected. Grim still awaits some kind of reward.
Louise nuzzles her beloved Maxx to welcome her back. Grim in ore of this powerful unicorn
Grim explains to Maxx what has happened and that because of her Louise she is now back to life to enjoy and continue to leave her trade mark. He blamed it all on Louise who took it with pride. She was her saving Grace.
Louise turns to talk to Maxx and without needing words their eyes meet and it’s enough, Maxx knows she owes her life to Louise. One heck of a precious unicorn she is.
Louise shows her affection to Maxx and is happy to have her beloved back. She nuzzles her with total love and trust.
And grants her the unicorn blessing once again. {at this moment Maxx ran off and I never knew what happened, I was not able to control her… as it’s all new to me I let the game play one to see what would unfold}
Louise wasted no time to show her affection to Grim and appreciation for restoring Maxx’s life, she also send her love to her mother Destiny and Grandmother Chivas love through Grim to pass the messages one. { WOW - What a unicorn is all I can say}
Louise continues to talk to him and Grim responds to her, even he is in ore of this powerful mystical animal.
Louise knows Grim needs a reward… so she backs off…. Slowly….
Grim decides he will take Brad instead….
Brad looks to Louise but Louise looks away she has saved the one she wanted.. although she didn’t mind Brad she was fonder of Maxx
Grim begins to read Brad his life's doings… preparing him for the afterlife.
Brad begs for his life to Grim… but Grim wants to take someone tonight…
And without wasting any time, he sends Brad to his grave.
Regardless his job isn’t easy, not with the bonds of human life form.
He turns to Louise one more time… Louise sniffs him and shows her approval and appreciation.
Grim has really taken to Louise and talks to her for a while.. sharing magical secrets that only a unicorn would understand.
Grim continues to whisper to Louise, secretly he tells Louise to watch over her family and Maxx….
They lock eyes and one more time take some time to unite in their understandings before Grim decides his time here was enough.
After such strong eventful moments some time had passed when Amber and Paul decided it was time to get some new stallions and finish off Maxx’s challenge for her.
First Stallion to make his arrival was Scamp Stahl, a huge thank you to EIisabetta for allowing one of your stallions to join out challenge.
The next stunning stallion is Teddybear from Duckypants and he is a big cute teddybear.
We are also very privileged to have Dasher Thompson from ElijahsBabyGurl9 to join our family and assist with the challenge, once again to our dear friend we thank you for this stunning Magical creature.
Finally the last little lad to join our family is Blaze from shiann121. Louise naturally comes to inspect the little man to make him feel at home, knowing he’s left his mother early she reaches out to him to make him feel welcomed at his new home.
Louise continues to talk to him and comfort him, he is missing his mummy and she works on relieving some of his stress. She knows in her heart Maxx would have been the first one to tend to a motherless foal, but since she was resurrected no one can seem to find her where abouts.
So Louise takes it upon herself to make the little lad feel right at home.
Louise wastes no time in blessing him to give him the warmth he would be missing from his mother.
Blaze never having this kind of experience embraces the unicorn blessing.
And bows to his new adopted mother, she has granted him the gift and he will honor her with the strength of being a strong stallion one day soon.
Blaze talks to Louise and thanks her so much for the wonderful feelings, he no longer is feeling sad and missing his mummy.
Amber broken still that Maxx is gone and cannot be found, continues to search but every day she’s exhausted only to come home empty handed. However she doesn’t give up… she wants her grandmother back at home.
Time has been passing by, Blaze decided to grow up and join the adult stallions. Scamp has impregnated the girls and their foals are due any moment soon too.
Amber has taken to get back into training, she takes Dasher through the training course and of course straight onto the big jumps, Dasher loves them and is ready to compete also.
Paul works on Scamp with his racing skills
As all the kids had moved out and Maxx is no longer here, with Brad passing over they are short of riders, however Teddybear decides to take to the racing track on his own accord and train, he doesn’t want to miss out on all he fuss of training as they other horses are.
Amber gets interrupted from her training to pose for a photo… ahh the life of a celebrity.
And off course as always she learned from the best, she talks to her horse before they get back to work.
Dasher has bonded strongly with Amber and naturally has to display his affection with his unicorn call of the wild. Amber watches in ore.
Teddybear continues to train.
Amber saw something a little different today… she met Valencia this stunning mermaid. She got to know her and talk to her. They actually became good friends very quickly sharing a lot in common.
Paul wanted another baby… Amber not overly keen as she knows pregnancy will man one more man down and they already are struggling with working the horses. So they decided to genetically produce one. Boris was born after a few hours being made in the science facility. A big healthy young baby to join them… guess Paul was thinking of the future…
Time has come as always for the babies to grow up.
Thelma decides that a little filly is born called Bambi
Paul and Amber come to see their new joyful baby.
Louise like her half sister decides it’s also time and gives birth to a little colt they name Thumper.
Thumper wastes no time in looking at his surroundings.
Boris too has aged up and comes out to meet Bambi. Once again Saffron’s white saddle mark has continued on through the lines.
Thumper continues to sniff around his new home.
Louise comes to comfort her son as she can see he is sad….
She spends time grooming him.
Boris on the other hand is having fun with Bambi playing chase and having a happy time together.
Louise continued to comfort her son
Thumper cant help but ask his mother why wasn’t he born a unicorn, and Louise talks to him about life, how not everyone can be born a unicorn, but its till makes him special when he’s half a unicorn.
Louise talks to him about life and all the creatures great and small. Thumper listens to his mothers wise words.
Louise still sees her son is unhappy, so she blesses him like many of her foals before, to give him the gift of the unicorn blessings. To lighten his soul from the heavy burden and unexplained questions of life.
Thumper not only embracing his mothers blessing but getting an understanding of her power and might within her Magical soul
Louise shows her appreciation to the skies, knowing she’s made her son happy and lightened his soul.
*************************************************************
Time has been flying past, with consistent training and working with the horses. Amber now concentrating more on her work than wondering for her grandmothers whereabouts any longer… As the foals were on the ground it was time to return Scamp to his breeder.
Amber took Scamp back to the EC for his breeders to come and pick him up.
On her way out Amber bumped into her cousin Ava, Ava was an evil child but as she’s matured into an adult has learned to become a much nicer person, guess her unicorn curse from uni has taught her to show some heart…
Amber and Ava talk for a little while Amber telling Ava about all the things that had happened just like days of our lives movie. Ava listens to Amber's crazy story.
Amber asks Ava if she learns or hears where Maxx is living to let her know, she wants her grandmother back at home. Amber and her husband Paul were granted a two day free vacation and as they really didn’t have a honeymoon decided to accept… mean while Amber plead with Ava to continue to seek out Maxx for her while they are away.
While his parents were on their holiday Boris decides it’s time to learn to horse ride, he takes out blaze for his very first ride.
CHAPTER 8
PART 2 - The life of a Mermaid, foals 41 & 42
Upon their arrival from their honeymoon Boris had aged up into a fine young adult, he naturally continued to show interest in the horses, and his keen senses and ability to work with them, has proven to his parents that he will shortly take over their roles and work through the challenge.
Amber decided to invite Valencia her best friend over for a dip in the pool and to meet the family. The boys haven’t met Valencia yet and never had the joys to meet a mermaid in person.
Boris who couldn’t help himself was mesmerized by Valencia, being an older woman he continued to be the gentleman he is, when speaking to her. Valencia already a unhappily married woman and mother of 3 children, found herself a little attracted to Boris already.
Even though Valencia is older than Boris she still could whoop his butt in a good pillow fight challenge. They enjoyed themselves with a little play time out of the pool.
Boris and Valencia’s friendship rises as they both have some fun playing around.
Naturally Boris being a shy male and one who is curious about Valencia and her mermaid status spends time talking to her about her life, and how magical and difficult it would be, one thing he is mystified by her beauty.
He talks to her and gently flirts, knowing she’s a married woman with 3 children he however struggles to contain his feelings for her, gazing into her blue eyes and sweet smells his feelings for her keep growing. They have so much in common it is blinding his thoughts, his actions. Valencia has never met anyone like him and coming from an abusive man finds Boris’s gentle nature very alluring too.
After some time getting to know one another Boris can’t help but whisper to Valencia, words she’s never heard from another man, she embraces his big gentle nature and warmth. Boris builds up the courage to even flippantly ask her to leave her husband. As Valencia is already unhappy she’s doesn’t hesitate but notifies Boris he now has an enemy in Hunter. Boris doesn’t’ care he asks her to stay the night, he doesn’t want to lose this opportunity to never see her again.
Valencia agrees to stay the night, Boris inviting her inside, they continue to talk. He is now totally blinded by her presence, they continue to get to know each other and gaze into each others eyes.
Boris finally builds up the courage to kiss Valencia, he throws her a heated kiss, hoping she wont reject him.
Valencia totally surprised by his confident outburst, but enjoying the quick confidence boost, reacts to his outburst.
She pulls him towards her and continues in the passion. They are both so into one another, nothing else matters anymore.
They continue to embrace and gaze into each others eyes. Whispering sweet nothings, mostly just staring into one another souls. Love at first sight. Both know the feelings are true and real.
Boris asks Valencia to be his girlfriend, of course she has waited for this moment and wastes no time in saying yes, Boris of course has other things on his mind. Valencia seems to have brought out a confidence in him that even he finds surprising.
As it’s getting late and both are tired, but Boris wont g to bed before he makes Valencia permanently his fiancé, so he decides to make it official and proposes to Valencia, and of course she wastes no time and says yes!
Despite how tired they are they both manage to have a cuddle before bedtime.
Valencia woke up while Boris was asleep and got caught up into this ball of liquid light.
After some time …she hit the floor losing her scales and having human legs. She is now worried that Boris will not want her anymore. What is she to do, she can’t afford to get kelp to become a mermaid again..
Scared and Worried, standing alone while Boris is asleep, she runs off home and doesn’t stay the night, scared that the one man he actually feels love for will not want her. She doesn’t wait around until morning for him to see her. She whispers I love you as she leaves. Frightened Boris will not want her anymore.
Once again the foals age up growing into beautiful horses like all the ancestors before them.
First to age up is Bambi and immediately followed by Thumper.
Boris who had woken up to find that Valencia had left without a note or anything, was wondering why she left, never even slept there. He was wondering if he had dome something wrong, but he knows that he has to get his riding skills up and concentrate on the horse work. With the foals aging up, the mares pregnant and ready to foal soon, it will be time for new stallions to join. So Boris continues to ride Teddybear and work on his skills.
Paul takes Bambi to the training grounds and puts Bambi onto the hard jumps she is born with level 9 and is only needing a little more work to max out her skills. Bambi without any issues flies over the jumps like a champion.
Amber after caring for Thumpers grooming needs, saddles him up and heads for the training grounds too. Thumper like his half sister needs very little work on the jumping skills. Both young horses now slowly being broken in saddle work.
Boris gaining up his skills to a gallop now, takes Teddybear up to the mountains, for a nice scenic ride.
They both arrive to the waterhole and see many wild horses around, Boris is amazed just as much as Teddybear is, but his thoughts are still with Valencia. Non the less he proceeds to continue with his riding skills.
Paul and Amber had spent the day training the young horses and are exhausted, before they head off home to eat and go to bed, they sell the horses. Bambi is sold for $11,797 and Thumper is $9,846.
Boris decides to do a riding class and enter his first competition with Teddybear budgie, he’s leveled up enough to enter a beginners race and comes first.
On his way out, the paparazzi happen to want to get some photos of him, celebrity highlights are beginning to follow him now too. With another local wanting his autograph (again without underpants) – yikes….
The next morning Amber takes Dasher for some training.
Boris and Paul also take Teddybear and Blaze for some training too.
Meanwhile at home the girls decided it’s time to birth their new babies. Louise gave birth to a little colt called Anthony.
Thelma also gave birth to a little filly who was given the name Cleopatra.
The foals decide to socialize and get to know one another. Enjoying their new home and surroundings.
That evening Boris got called to Nathan Shultz’s birthday where he and his cousin spend some time mucking around. Boris being reminded of the time he and Valencia had their pillow fight.
After he gets home he helps his parents tend to their growing garden. Boris embracing nature he continues to wonder what has happened to Valencia and why she’s not returning his calls or texts.
Chivas Regal once again decides to have a nap in her old stable, missing Maxx whom also is no where to be found.
The next day Paul takes Teddybear for his training lesson, and max’s out his jumping skills.
Teddybear is so happy even when he comes home he shows his joy for jumping.
Boris decides to continue to tend to the garden this morning and tries his luck in contacting Valencia.
After he successfully got in touch with, Valencia finally brought up the courage to come over and explain what was so heavy on her soul.
They both talk to one another, Valencia explains what happened and how she’s hurting that she can’t be a mermaid for him anymore, how she is missing that life and thought he wouldn’t want her anymore. Boris listens to her and feels her pain. She finally agrees to stay the night, even with human legs.
The next morning Boris took Valencia to the beach, he had a surprise for her and asked her to look the part of a mermaid. She dressed the part and together they gaze into each others eyes, Valencia is not sure what Boris is up to but non the less she has exciting feelings building up.
Boris takes out the wedding rings and begins to exchange his vows, he wants to show her that she means the world to him, human legs or not. Valencia and he exchange their vows.
Now they are husband and wife. But Boris is yet to give Valencia the surprise he had planned for her.
Boris gifts Valencia with a Mermaid kelp and she begins to eat it.
Boris watches as her transformation takes place, watching as she will soon have her wish once again.
And she is now a mermaid again, Boris and her embrace with joy. Valencia feels at home with her abilities once again, smiling with joy.
They decide to go for a dip in the ocean. Sharks swimming around but nothing seems to put them off wanting to enjoy the salt water and Valencia to enjoy her gift again.
Boris watches as his beloved wife takes to the water like a professional and enjoys seeing how happy and natural she looks in the water. Even though he doesn’t know that joy, he enjoys watching her so happy and at home in her natural environment.
While Valencia races around, evening slowly begins to set as the newlyweds enjoy their day at the beach.
Boris decides to enjoy a relaxing moment on a floaty hearing his wife splashing around enjoying herself and recharging her body with the much needed salt water.
Evening was starting to slowly set, they decided to have a little fun splashing about before their mini honeymoon by the ocean comes to an end. With Valencia being married to Boris she had joined the family at the Mystique ranch now, and Boris had told her days start early with the horses. So they had a little more time to enjoy before they would have to head off home.
Valencia decided to give Boris the one gift she knew how to best, to give him the pleasure of being a mermaid also. Boris accepted and began to feel the electric feel of the earth beginning to move under his feet.
Valencia watched as he spun in the liquid light, and waited for that magical feeling to explode inside his soul, bringing the best sensational feelings any human sim could experience.
Valencia jumped with joy, they were both now mermaids and Boris felt on top of the world.
They both felt it was the best night of their lives. Together forever.
Hand in hand they walked through the salt water Boris feeling the water in a different sensation now. Valencia encouraging him to enjoy his new abilities now.
They both taking a dip into the ocean and enjoying like as a mermaid as a couple.
Once they got home they were both tired yet feeling alive.
After their beautiful day they ended the night with some passion and slept soundly until the morning.
Amber and Paul had said their farewells to Boris and Valencia, leaving them in charge of the challenge and property. Boris has proven he was a able and capable man to continue on his great grandmothers legacy.
The foals Anthony and Cleopatra finally having their birthdays and aging up into regal young horses.
Valencia had taken Blaze out for her very first ride, she spent most of the morning slowly riding and gaining up her skills. Once they got atop the hill Valencia started to feel a little ill.
With stomach pains and nausea she cries out in pain.
Overcome with the horrible feeling she ends up being sick. It looks like morning sickness has greeted her this morning, unexpectedly.
Boris meanwhile was working Anthony training him in the saddle for the firs time and was unaware that Valencia was feeling ill.
Valencia being a tough spirited girl continues to learn her own riding skills and decides to take Cleopatra for her first ride with the saddle.
However once again she dismounts only to be sick again.
Once she’s feeling better she gets back on Cleopatra and spends mo more time wasting in training her, so that she can join her new owners.
Boris has spent most of the day working Anthony who is slowly gaining his skill points.
Valencia was invited to a pool party and decides to ride to the party hoping she wont be late to the party.
Upon arrival she sadly hasn’t mastered her dismount as such and falls off Cleopatra. Paparazzi wasting no time to capture the embarrassing moment.
Meanwhile both Boris and Valencia are out and about, Mystique Ranch gets a visitor. Maxx has been missing for some time and came to visit the ranch. Sadly no one being home it is only the horses who are aware she had arrived, but then left.
Boris was at the EC centre selling off the two young horses, making room for the next two that would arrive soon. Both had been trained under saddle. Anthony sold for $12,591 and Cleopatra sold for $5,698. It was a nice profitable evening.
When Boris had arrived home he saw a very frightened Blaze, the thunder and lightning had startled him so much he was on the road and panicked.
Boris calmed him down and slowly talked to him to settle his fear down, which seem to work quickly.
Boris saddled up and took Blaze with him to Rosemary’s birthday party which he knew he was running late to. Blaze was so fast he over took the ice cream truck and was gaining speed on the car in front.
Finally Boris arrived to Rosemary’s house and wished her a happy birthday. They spent some time chatting and talking. Boris knew Rosemary was poorer and struggled with money, so he wanted to give her something she could make use of.
Without hesitation Boris gave rosemary a nice expensive gift, which she never expected. She said he was such a kind hearted soul.
Valencia had come home early as she was heavily pregnant and was brushing up on her writing skills. She now could only tend to the grooming needs of the horses and while she waited for Boris to come home, she began to write her very first novel
Wow now that Im all caught up it seems you've had quite the roller coaster ride in your story as well. Im in shock about Maxx O_O she is brought back to life then...poof?! Oh man, I hope everyone is dealing with this sudden turn of events okay. And my Dasher I'm so happy to see that he got to be a part of your challenge. I hope he brought you beautiful foals!! Sorry I haven't commented in while I was dealing with some rough family issues and just didn't have the energy or time. But I finally posted my next chapter and am caught up with everyone else!! Looking forward to more!
Oh sweet @ElijahsBabyGurl9 i hope all is well at home and RL can really be a downer, it's a blessing when we can escape through our sims or even on here for a little bit, but i completely understand and am thinking of you! I hope all is ok and most importantly YOU are ok!! Stay strong sweetheart!!
Yes it sure has been a roller coaster, i cried so much when my main character died, of course time was coming, i kept a close eye on her aging... but when Louise just brought her back to life i was like WHATTTTT no way.. and cried some more, this horse is amazing!! I couldn't believe it, saying that... the twists and turns that will come out in the next few chapters is just as mind blowing... it's amazing the freewill sims have and what they actually do. Really is amazing!!
I just read your chapter and commented and will be going into the game to send my beloved Terrwynn some gifts for her loss and painful time without Nick... Such a hard time and heartbreaking moment in her life. Look forward to your next update sweetness and i'm back on so will be posting up new chapters also. Need to finish publishing this one, as i have started two new ones. One puppy challenge... another a mystery maybe?
I'm working on a "life after the 50 foal challenge" story as so much as been happening since i have been back to app plains. I think it deserves it's own story too.. so not sure where or which angle i'm taking things once this one is finished.... an it's not far at all.
And re Dasher he is adorable, he was such a darling unicorn!!! YES he did and his babies may just be popping up somewhere in another story too so many ideas but not sure which angle to take them on so will see once this is finished and I've got my new one to publish the story there too.
With the evenings raining so heavily and storms brewing, after all the horses were locked up and tended to, Boris enjoys playing drums for a little bit, where Saffron decides she’s going to visit the family again, however Maxx isn’t there to greet her anymore.
That evening Louise had given birth to a little filly, she was named Fortune, Blaze was successful at being a father.
Thelma also gave birth to a little colt who was named Lucky.
The next morning the foals made the most of their play time, fooling around and bonding.
Enjoying themselves so much they both are energetic and pesky little babies.
Boris for some time has been trying to get in touch with his great grandmother, he got news from some locals that she was homeless since she got her life back from Grim, when Louise had her resurrected, and no one seem to know how to find her and getting in touch with her isn’t easy either. Boris knew his mother Amber wanted to find Maxx and try to bring her back home, she didn’t deserve to live on the streets, she built this empire and everything around him, that he enjoys everyday and finding out she was homeless and struggling was heart breaking enough. The thought was unbearable, Boris a soft soul and very much like his Great Grandmother, caring and worrying about everyone and everything, he decided he had to continued in his mothers footsteps to try to get his great grandmother back into her original home.
Finally after months of trying, he finally managed to get Maxx on the phone and asked her over, Maxx came and Boris wasted no time in talking to her of how worried he has been and the whole family of her where about. Boris didn’t know her very well but heard many amazing and wonderful stories, so he wanted to spend time to get to know her better too. He wanted to embrace her aura and beautiful spirit everyone so adores. After some time talking with her, Boris saw she was very hungry and weak and asked her to come inside.
Over the time since being resurrected Maxx did become very frail and moved very slowly, it took her much longer than normal to walk to her old front door… was Maxx dying? No one really knew yet.
Boris came over to help her and they both got talking. He knew this place was best run by her. He began to explain these feelings and matters with her, expressing how he wanted her to move back, but had to get residents reduced due to the council’s regulations. He continued to explain matters to Maxx when he got interrupted…..
Valencia was rushed to hospital as she was in labor. Her water had broke and Boris was about to be a dad. So he left Maxx hoping she would make herself in her own home, he left to be with Valencia in the hospital.
Boris and Valencia got a beautiful baby boy which they name Atlantis. By the time they got home, Boris found Maxx had left. He was so worried and tried calling her but no answer, he knew it was late. He was exhausted from the days events, he thought he would leave it until the next day.
The household was busy with so much going on and Boris constantly working on getting his great grandmother back at home. There was some problems with the council regulations that there were too many living sims in the household and another was not permitted to join. So it was time to cut down. Stallions got sold, with Lucky and Fortune growing up they were quickly trained under saddle.
Valencia sold Lucky for $10,452 and Boris sold Fortune for $11,692. His goal was to reduce the household members so that he would get the council permit to ask his great grandmother back home. The stress had been building. And with the challenge almost at an end. It was time to tie loose ends. However the mares were pregnant with Dasher and regardless of cutting members in the household this was still a problem. Boris grew more frustrated but did what he knew best.
With the sales of the horses, Boris decided to ask Maxx over once again. In hopes she wouldn’t knock him back again, to his joy she didn’t and she came back to visit once again. She was very fond of him and so proud of him, his gentle nature reminded Maxx of herself.
Maxx knew nothing of Boris’s plans of why he invited her over today. He spent some time talking with her, she looked unhappy and that she has missed the horses. She was in the show business now to survive. So Boris asked her (once he got council permission of course) for Maxx to move in as a roommate. And she wasted no time in accepting.
Boris was so happy after all the months his mother and he have been on the quest to get their beloved Maxx home, he succeeded, still he knew she was only a roommate but for now until he continued to negotiate with the council, he decided to enjoy a pillow fight with Maxx and enjoy her coming back home.
Despite her frail body Maxx still could whoop his butt in a good pillow fight.
Their play got interrupted when Louise pushed her way in to nuzzle Maxx and tell her how much she’s missed her.
Louise smells her hair and keeps nuzzling with her. Their bond never ended, it’s been a long time since she had seen her Queen.
Louise and Maxx just stare into each others eyes, Maxx doesn’t need to say anything Louise knows all the pain she has lived through. But she is glad she’s home.
Maxx wastes no time and whispers to Louise, sharing their secrets. Louise embraces all her pain and love.
Embracing Louise and both have their moments of silence, no words were needed, it is all understood and felt, deep in their souls.
Louise wastes no more time and blesses her queen to recharge her with some magical love and power, to bring up her sad spirit, yet fragile body.
Maxx feeling that bright unicorn light swirling through every vein in her body, allowing her heart to breath again, something she hasn’t been able to do since she was resurrected, she now felt she was home!
Once again the girls just cuddle and snuggle. Louise is happy that her one and only is home and Maxx knows how much she has missed being home, she’s missed out on seeing so much but most of all being with her horses which she loves more than life itself.
Louise has assured Maxx is home. Things will be back to normal now she’s here. The emptiness that was lurking in the air has now lifted, Louise feels everything will blossom again now that her queen is home.
Later that evening the time has come for Dasher to be a Sire too, Louise gave birth to a little unicorn filly, she was named Opal.
Thelma gave birth to a little filly also, who was named Pearl.
It was time for Atlantis to grow up from a toddler to a child also, celebrations tonight on many avenues.
As expected Maxx wasted no time in feeding the two girls. Both waiting and taking turns for their feed. The girls knew Maxx was someone special and felt safe around her even with the brewing storm above them.
Time has been flying past with little taking place of late, everyone doing what they knew best and embracing the days as they fly past. The time has come for the foals to grow up once again.
Opal was the first to age up
Followed immediately by Pearl. The girls were ready to be trained under saddle.
Valencia tended to Pearl cleaning and caring for her before she saddled her up and takes her for a ride, then to commence with training.
Boris did the same with Opal.
The girls had a keen buyer for them already so Valencia worked hard to saddle train Pearl so that she could join her new home, Karrkitt has been a friend of Maxx’s for some time and offered to buy a variety of horses, knowing the high standards and beautiful place they would be in the remainder of the foals and adult horses would be slowly moving to reside with Karrkitt’s family.
As Pearl’s racing level is maxed out Jumping is needed to bring it up as far as possible.
That evening Pearl is sold for $11,712 and successfully trained under the saddle with only one more to be maxed out in her jumping skill.
Boris works Opal who also has her racing level maxed out and jumping level is 9, one off from being maxed out.
Once broken in Opal is sold for $12,590. Both Boris and Valencia feel like they have done a great job tonight. The Girls have gone to a wonderful home, and now they needed to concentrate on the next tasks. The Challenge was truly coming to a complete… nerves were a little high as to what would happen to their lives after this challenge? Although it wasn’t time to worry about this for now, it was still on the back of their minds.
With all the stallions and foals trained and sold. It was time to get two more stallions soon, but Boris wanted to enjoy some swimming time with his great grandmother in the meantime. He needed to distress and he managed to have long talks with Maxx, his feelings and asking hers about what she would like once this challenge is over? Her wishes, in hopes he could fulfill them… They talked yet enjoyed the swimming.
Two amazing stallions were delivered to the property as the final two for this challenge. They were fast keen and from suburb bloodlines. Boris knew this challenge had to end with a a bang. Although throughout the challenge all the horses that were chosen were of high standard and the foals that came from them were priced higher and carried off the remarkable genes from both parents. These two new stallions were no exception to the rule.
Tiger Fall came from wolfiemix his fiery entrance and presence had everyone's heads turning. He was very unique in his looks and something Maxx loved was the stripes. He favorite wild animal being a tiger he was perfect to be one of the ending stallions.
Le Prix also came from Ponylover7 a beautiful show champion. With amazing traits and abilities the excitement has grown to see what beautiful foals these two final stallions will produce.
Louise doing the one thing she loves most to splash in the water trout, it has been the first time she isn't pregnant and was given a short break. However time was coming for Le Prix to impregnate both the girls.
Thelma on the other hand is enjoying the ball. Both mares still young enough but slowly getting older, with these being the last two babies they will have each. Everyone is excited yet sad that the challenge is coming up to an end slowly too.
Atlantis grew up one more time, was time for his teenage days. Boris and Valencia were getting slowly older themselves, and the ocean was calling them, Both being mermaids, meant that Atlantis was granted the gift of being a mermaid too… but they wanted to finish the challenge. It was the only thing to do before they could start their own lives and head out to sea.
Atlantis thought he would tend to tiger and try out some riding for the first time, however he was getting his mounting wrong.
After correcting his position, he took Tiger for a short ride, before it was time to return home.
Boris on the other hand has been spending more and more time with his great grandmother and taking as many selfies and photos with her for the memories.
And talking about things that are deep on his heart. Asking Maxx is she will not be a room mate anymore but move in permanently back to her family home. Boris felt she deserved this more than anyone as he wanted to eventually answer the call to the ocean life.
Maxx feeling very blessed and chuffed that she has such a beautiful Great Grandson. She assured him that he is not only the perfect gentleman but a wonderful man in all that he aspires. She did happen to ask him to give her another great great grandchild, hoping he would abide…. Meanwhile Chivas awaits to be petted by her queen too.
Valencia worked Le Prix, he was a fantastic jumper so she took him to some racing to build up his skills. Valencia bonded with LePrix really quickly she loved how his elegant grace felt during his rides. He certainly turned heads with his presence.
Atlantis spent more time with Tiger, he really liked how calm and placid Tiger is. Tiger bonded with Atlantis and loved having the attention from him, he could sense Atlantis was a little nervous so he took caution and care of him during their ride together.
The rain begins to fall, but Valencia and Le Prix continue to work with the training.
Atlantis has been working so hard on his riding skills he has now got to a gallop. He and Tiger take to the country side. Atlantis being a merman found the rain didn’t bother him the slightest.
Boris decides to maintain Maxx’s garden and plant more crops. Louise also comes to help out with some of the crops and their growth by blessing some plants in need of extra TLC.
That night Maxx takes the time to ride Louise. Who is pregnant to Le Prix, non the less they slowly go for a ride, before dinner time. Louise had missed this and has nothing but her queen on her mind.
Tonight the family sit together to eat their meal, most times of late it’s been who ever is hungry grabs a bite, but since Maxx has come back home, they sit at the table once more as a family. Maxx is big on the family eating together, and keeping together, so she is honored this grace. Everyone enjoys a nice chat during their meal but also are exhausted from the days events.
Boris talks to Valencia while everyone else has gone to bed. He asks her is she wants to try one more time to fulfill a wish. Valencia loving him so much of course she abides.
Boris and Valencia don’t waste time and go by the hay bale; of course in love as they are, they decide to be a little cheeky rather than the regular routine of having some clean fun. Valencia tonight is successfully pregnant again. Boris has fulfilled Maxx’s wish.
Comments
Thank you so so much I'll have a look now xx
Part One – The turning of an Era, Foals 31 & 32.
With so much that had happened, the family decided to take time to rest the mares for a little while, they both are almost at the end of their breeding carers and everyone wanted them to have a short break, the mares deserved a short break. EvanStaar will be the last stud for these girls, so a nice break was well deserved.
With all the children growing up, Dannii, Autumn, Mitchell and Elvis had moved out. Kahlan and Richard along with Amber still resided at home.
EvanStaar continued to be trained, Maxx loved being on horseback and spent most of her time on a horse. Training caring and most of all loving them.
Domino also got royal treatment, Evan spent a lot of time with her, caring for her needs and giving her a ride, Domino has maxed out all her training, but she still loves to be ridden and more so compete.
Destiny’s Child too loved to be ridden and also had maxed out her skills. Jessy missed Snow but enjoyed her time with Destiny.
However one too many fire jumps was enough for Destiny and set Jessy on fire.
Evan saw Destiny walking back home without Jessy so he went to investigate and have a chuckle to himself.
He decided to take Domino over the fire jumps and didn’t seem have an issue. He continues to smirk about it.
Rain hail or shine, Maxx’s dedication pays off EvanStaar loves to work and he jumps almost all the jumps with perfection.
Evan Chuckled too quickly he too got caught on fire too, looks like Domino was the one having the last laugh here now.
Kahlan Wolfgang had aged up nicely and is a complete fitness fanatic, time was coming for her and her brother Richard to decided where and what they would do with their lives.
{totally not sure what happened here but one of my sims is a dwarf}
Richard like his parents a humanitarian loves to catch and release little critters.
Amber is the only child from Evan and Jessy who decided to stay, her love for horses is strong and she looks up to her Grandmother as a role model, she wants to be just like her. Amber spends daily grooming and caring for the horses after school, and studying when she has spare time. When Amber made the decision was wanted to learn from her grandmother and stay and live on the farm. Evan and Jessy decided to also leave and go on a long awaited holiday. Amber is left behind with her grandmother Maxx and Step Grandfather Brad.
Amber is a hands on girl just like her grandmother Maxx and instead of studying riding in a book, she takes to the experience, she never anticipated it to be this scary….
EvanStaar has finally sired two foals. Domino gave birth to a little filly named Thelma
And Destiny’s child gives birth to Thelma’s half sister Louise.
Little Thelma from a different angle
And Louise finally up on her feet ready to investigate her new surroundings, we not only were blessed to have got two filly’s but Louise was blessed by her mother and was born a unicorn, we won the jackpot with this breeding!
Destiny’s Child and Domino had made it in the nick of time, both ladies were now celebrating their birthdays and retiring from breeding to become elders.
Destiny was the first among the girls to have her birthday, however Domino followed closely.
With everyone cheering the ladies on, Domino now also joins her partner Destiny and has a graceful birthday.
After the celebrations Maxx continues to tend to her garden and amber who is a green thumb comes to join her.
Maxx takes EvanStaar for his last ride to the Equestrian Centre and finds him a loving home, he has done them all very proud and she makes sure he will get the royal treatment with his new family.
Thelma and Louise spend their day playing with each other and having fun on the private training ground next door.
The half sisters are very close and always doing some thing together, sniffing out new things or getting up to mischief.
And most of all entertaining one another.
The love between the two girls is very strong, always looking out for each other.
Sharing secrets and pampering
Telling each other hopefully stories and dreams
Most of all playing together and almost being inseparable.
Just being pesky little foals while they can.
Maxx as always looks after her horses, and Destiny gets her royal grooming and caring for, always followed by hugs and whispers.
And even a ride with the occasional Heroic pose, Despite Destiny’s age she still knows how to bring a smile to her sims face.
As always Destiny returns the love and nuzzles with her sim, the bond is strong.
Destiny’ wastes no time in blessing her sim too.
But Destiny’s eyes seem far away today.. Maxx can feel something is wrong.
She embraces her girl and tries to understand what it is that Destiny knows, that she hasn’t worked out yet.
But Destiny knows it has come time….
Domino was playing with her ball when she had a sudden urge to stop in her tracks.
He returns once again.. Maxx now knows why Destiny was so far away…. Grim Reaper has come to take her girl away from her, once again Maxx would feel that crushing pain of loss. Domino looks to her sim and says her farewell, she is to join her mother in the afterlife.
Maxx can’t only howl in pain, as she knows there is nothing she can do now.
Domino turns to comfort her as best she can but still she is ready to depart to the afterlife. Destiny sends her whispers…
Grim Reaper is torn as he knows his job is hard for his friend, He has become very fond of Maxx and hates to hurt her, but he knows she is aware he will look after all the sims he takes with him.
Domino does the final lap of farewell…. Amber has arrived to see what all the fuss was only to realize that Domino is leaving.
Destiny frozen… having a hidden communication with Grim Reaper… stands waiting…
Grim Reaper embraces Domino and assures he she will be safe.
Domino waits patiently and gracefully…. Grim Reaper mounts her and allows the family one last goodbye.
And in a blaze of smoke they both depart to the afterlife.
The girls shattered and broken grieve for their loss of their beloved domino.
The grieving doesn’t stop…
Destiny calls to the skies…. She knows something more is coming…
Destiny raises her head and like a regal proud unicorn and calls to the wild. Maxx and Amber still in disappear.
Destiny waits…..
Grim Reaper returns…. It is not just one mare he takes today but two. Maxx and Amber do not even see Grim Reaper returning
Then they spot him, he has come to take Destiny to her resting place also.
Even Grim Reaper bows to Destiny. Maxx and Amber are completely torn.
Destiny lets everyone know she will go out with a leap and never be forgotten.
Grim Reaper embraces her and assures her she will be with her mother and safe.
And like a regal patriot that Destiny is she rides out to the afterlife with complete grace.
Maxx and her granddaughter Amber are in complete shock and lost for words
They spend the afternoon mourning, but then Maxx realizes that Thelma and Louise have just lost their mothers and are still babies……
The girls tend to the foals comforting them and trying to help them heal.
Thelma and Louise love the love their sims give them but they still grieve for their mothers.
Louise the more sensitive one gets Maxx’s time and attention, Maxx assures her that she will be safe and adored, both of them will and both will grow up into strong regal girls like their mothers were. She promised them for as long as she lived, and even past her life she would ensure no one ever sold them but let them live out their lives on the farm, and one day they would be reunited with their mothers.
Both of the babies listened to their sims comforting words… and Paparazzi like always sniffing around.
That evening was a quiet one at the ranch. I couldn’t help chuckle Louise was amusing herself with the car in the driveway lol
Amber took some time to study, everyone feeling very sombre and heavy hearted tonight.
Part Two – The Wedding - next generation, new stallions.
Having lost their two prime mares and only Thelma and Louise left, Brad and Maxx decided it was time to buy a Stallion or two to be able to train and compete with until Thelma and Louise were old enough to breed. When they brought a stallion called Aries Camacho they never bargained to end up with two extra foals, but they did. Canarie and Bailey were also joining the family
Never imagines on owning 4 foals at one time, all motherless…. But Maxx was confident between her Amber and Brad they should be able to manage, if not she might have to hire a helping hand.
Thelma and Louise in their separate stalls having a nap, it has been a long day for the girls.
Bailey also made use of a stable to catch up on some baby sleep. He had a huge day with events too.
Maxx and Brad retired to bed after they settled the horses, they were completely exhausted.
Amber also having a deep sleep after the past day.
Once Morning arrived Amber decided to make some pancakes for her grandmother and try out her new cooking skills.
Maxx appreciated not having to cook but never said how awful they were, she knew in time Amber would be a good enough cook
Amber went to the city hall and registered as a horsewoman, however her heart still hurt from the day before.
The girls decided to meet the boys.
And enjoy in some horseing around.
Amber decided to take Aries out for a ride and get her riding skills up, also to familiarize herself with him, and let him experience his new neighborhood.
She still found it a little scary but slowly was gaining her confidence.
Brad had started a new job, but he wasn’t enjoying it, once he arrived home decided to feed some very hungry foals.
Amber continued riding Aries and he was getting to enjoy the sites of his new home.
Brad continued to feed the foals, Bailey was loving his new food.
Maxx fed Thelma until she was satisfied.
Canarie was next in the feeding….
The next day Amber continued to ride Aries, she wanted to compete and be just a good horsewoman as her Grandmother is. Aries being such a strong horse, she found her riding skills were quickly climbing up.
Maxx tended to her growing garden.
Bailey was the first foal who decided it was time to grow up.
And grew into this enormous stunning Stallion.
He was so big that even Brad’s limbs struggled to mount him {lol I died laughing when I saw this}
Brad took bailey for his first ride, the rain came down pretty hard but neither of them was bothered by it, enjoying the ride.
Amber started Aries on some light jumps slowly building up her own confidence to try the big jumps.
A crack of thunder and lightning hit and Aries got so spooked her threw Amber straight off his back.
Amber never having been thrown off a horse realized how sore she felt when she hit the ground.
She told Aries off but knew he was startled. Aries was sorry he did but he got scared and didn’t know what to do.
Bailey was already dreaming of competing, he loved the running part and was climbing up his skill meter quickly.
That evening when Amber returned she met Paul Whelan, Brads good mate came to offer help with the foals. Amber and Paul spoke for a while, Amber realizing how much they had in common and what a nice chap Paul was.
Amber enjoyed having someone her age to talk to and share the love for animals with. The foals slowly were put to bed one by one and Paul and amber continued to chat away.
They spent time talking and getting to know one another, amber realized that Paul was actually a really nice person and she was very attracted to him, he is kind and gentle and pretty sexy in her eyes…. But she kept her composure not to give too much of her attraction towards him away.
They became good friends and Amber felt very comfortable with Paul. Paul on the other hand was smitten with Amber, being a gentleman and never having a girlfriend he was nervous too, he didn’t want to scare amber off. So they talked and told stories and experiences….
The horses gathered around ready to get put to bed, meanwhile Paul just couldn’t keep his feelings for amber and he went in for a kiss. The horses watching as a new romance was unfolding…..
Amber felt a little goofed and sloppy and as she had never been in love or kissed didn’t know what to say, she liked Paul a lot and had that fluffy feeling, she didn’t push him away from the kiss, actually she wanted more but was too shy to tell him, however she moved closer… hoping he would embrace her in his strong arms.
And he did, Paul was so taken by amber, he just grabbed and kissed her, she was stunning, beautiful and such a soft person… Amber didn’t push him away… she felt like a princess and really special.
They embraced and kissed the time was standing still for these two, they heard and saw nothing but each other.
Paul wasn’t giving up as he saw a future with her. Amber fell in love, was it possible to be in love at first sight… she pondered? Regardless of the rules in life, she didn’t care, she felt safe and wanted Paul.
What they both started to feel was very strong and real….. Paul touched her he was gentle and Amber didn’t refuse anything he did.
Paul didn’t waste time he knew Amber was a catch and he wanted her to be his fiancé… so he went on one knee and hoped she would say yes?
And she did. Amber couldn’t believe it, it all happened so quickly she didn’t have time to breath. But she said YES! OMG she was so excited.
After they had put the Aries and the foals to bed, Amber invited Paul to stay the night, it has been a long day. Once they got to bed they spent some time talking and sharing dreams and experiences. Amber grew nervous, Paul was too but it all felt so natural.
Naturally the cuddling and romance came into it too. Amber felt all grown up next to Paul.
And finally they had some naughty time too
However both were rudely interrupted when Maxx decided to walk in and attend to her wardrobe. Paul felt very uncomfortable but Maxx never said a word she trusted Amber to be old enough to make up her own decisions. Amber on the other hand was on another planet… she had found love and lost her womanhood to a man she felt was the right one. That night Paul had moved in to join the family.
********************************************************************
The time had come for a marriage, Paul was a romantic and he wanted Amber to have it all, honestly so did Maxx. Amber would be the first one to have a wedding party and she wanted to have as many family members come as possible, along with friends. Maxx went all out on having the farm decorated for this joyous occasion. Amber was pregnant and not showing her baby bump just yet but she was only days away and they didn’t want her to look pregnant on her wedding day.
Everyone slowly gathering around to watch the ceremony. Paul and Amber ready to begin their vows.
They wait patiently for the rest of the crowd to gather and join them in the exchanging of the rings.
Family slowly gather and Evan and Jessy are as proud as punch, Evan watches as Jessy starts to cry over their little girl finally getting married.
They exchange their rings and say their vows.
They are now married.
Family all cheer and watch in ore… the girls hearts all flutter…..
Amber and Paul see no one they are just in their each others embrace, feeling complete and fluffy.
Everyone continues to cheer and celebrate for them.
Amber waits for Paul to join her in the cutting of the cake.
Everyone watch and celebrations continue to be happy and high. Maxx is as proud as she could ever be.
After the cake, Paul and Amber have their first waltz as husband and wife.
Brad and Jessy hit the dance floor too.
Maxx approaches her proud son for a dance also.
Dancing, party, talking, laughing, joking - it is a happy eventful night. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves to the max.
Paul and Amber still in each others arms worlds away locked into each others gaze.
Paul still can’t believe he’s married.
He shows Amber some more of how much he loves her.
Then some hit the Karaoke with the local paparazzi.
Brad decides it’s time to have a birthday while all the celebrations are taking place.
And he joins Maxx in retirement age.
The following morning they enjoy breakfast outside before the huge cleanup
After the clean up Maxx went on a little quest and found some potion, so she drank it….. but was not sure what it would do. {I actually went through her aspiration points and saw she had a lot so I brought this potion I had no idea what it would do…. I too was about to find out…}
The ground began to shiver beneath her and she started to feel tingles… what was happening?
Then she changed… she drank some youth potion and turned back into a young adult. Lucky for her she had a spare one to give to Brad…..
Brad too drank the potion… and he started to feel a little tingly.
Then the burst of light emerged….
And he too was now a young adult again…. Maxx had managed to restore both their youths… they could live a longer life together…
Brad wanted to try out his new body again, so he wasted no time in luring Maxx to the haystack…
She followed…
And they sure were young again in everything
Neither of them looked guilty lol
All previous images were uploaded to photo bucket but with the threat of having pay for it, i will be taking the time to removed the old images and amend the posts, in hopes no images fails.
Part Three – Growing up, training & the beginning of the 4th generation
It was time for the girls to age up, Louise was the first one to have her birthday and she turned into a stunning unicorn.
Thelma also aged up and Paul decided he would learn how to ride on her, he was new to riding but he loved horses and too wanted to be like his wife and join the horseman career. He still had to learn to ride before he could do that, so he set a goal for himself.
Maxx took Louise for her first ride out, to train her in saddle and let her experience the beauty of being a horse.
Brad continued to ride Bailey, he had quit his job as a police officer and took on being a horseman too.
Maxx showed Louise what it felt like to have some competitions. She entered her into a couple of beginner competitions, and although they didn’t win Louise got to experience the thrills.
Brad continued to train Bailey, he worked on his racing skills, Bailey was flying through his skill levels, in no time he would be competing.
Amber who is heavily pregnant and couldn’t ride, tended to the garden, harvesting and keeping the plants happy.
The next morning Maxx took Louise to her private training property and showed her the racing poles.
Paul continued to ride and train Thelma and his own riding skills were getting better.
Brad continued to train Bailey
But he also stopped to tell his beloved that he was thinking of her.
Canarie had grown up too, as Bailey was already trained under the saddle and now was happy to train on his own, Brad decided to show Canarie the training grounds and what was expected of him.
Canarie had other ideas, he didn’t like having a sim on his back.
Brad let him know that was no acceptable and he was to show love and be accepting of sims on his back.
Maxx spent time with Aries. He had been training hard on his own and she wanted him to know she was proud of him. With how hard he has been working, he has been winning some nice competition entries for the family.
Maxx took Aries for a ride, he is always ready to compete, so getting his skills up and maxed out as much as possible is on the agenda. He was fast and showed a lot of potential.
Aries in no time maxed out his racing skills and he was flying, Maxx knew he would continue to win competitions with the speed he had on him. But the time would come to have to sell him too… either way a nice ride it always sought after.
Canarie enjoys the jumps and takes to training on his own now.
Louise too loves to run, she trained on her own on the racing poles. However being heavily pregnant to Aries she is taking her time in training.
While all the horses were training and being trained by Paul, Brad and Maxx, Amber continued to harvest the goods from the garden. She made a huge amount of money from the harvested crop.
Maxx took Aries onto the harder jumps and he was a complete natural, flew over them like a duck to water…
The next day Paul had registered himself as a horseman, and took Aries to the town with him, sadly his skills still needed to be worked on as he mounted Aries the wrong way.
Paul continued on with his own training and perfecting his riding skills. He needed to become a strong professional rider as he knew he would be a father soon.
That evening Maxx tended to the garden too, to give herself some quiet time. She was feeling a little ill.
Canarie had been training hard and Brad had a bright idea to enter him in his first competitions.
They set off to compete.
Amber had given birth to quad triplets {my first time in the game, actually left me shocked}. Four girls, they were named Opal, Venus, Genevieve and Cosette. Aries waited for Paul to take him home while Amber took the girls home in a limousine.
Once home Amber put one by one into their cots, two more cots were needed to be bought as it was an unexpected birthing of 4.
Amber snuggled with each baby as she put them down to rest.
After some bonding time Amber put little Cosette into her new bed too. Now she could get back in with training of the horses.
Brad had maxed his riding skills out… and worked Canarie hard on the jumps… meanwhile in the background there… Brad decided to do some acrobats on Aries…????
{Has this ever happened to any of you before? I never seen this and thought huh? I never knew they could do this, but I actually think it’s a glitch lol} Either way pretty good glitch lol
After Paul had finished goofing around he continued to train Aries and in no time also maxed his riding skills. The two men worked endlessly, training the horses.
Part four – Foals 33 & 34.
The Quads were aging and growing up, life had been busy with training of all the horses, foals about to be born and the girls all growing up and learning new skills. Time was passing by and everyone was really busy at the Mystique ranch.
The girls spent time out learning new skills, Cosette was already getting celebrity adoration, people stopping in the street to take photos of her even to ask her for autographs… all new to her, she just wanted to learn.
Amber continues to train and ride, Bailey has now maxed out his skills and had added some nice winnings to the funds.
The girls never complained and do their homework, studies and love to paint. Each one has different skills they like to work on.
Thelma was the first one to give birth, Aries had been a busy stallion and impregnated them, tonight was the night the new foals would join the family. Thelma had given birth to a little filly, she was named Venus.
{I saw the bubble above her head and thought omg she’s going to have 2 foals, but no it was one, might have been Louise’s baby that was being born at the same time?}
Louise also gave birth to a little filly, which was named Luna.
The two little foals were welcomed into the family. It wasn’t long before they would look around their new property.
Venus didn’t take long to sniff around {I love how Saffrons while line has continued through the breeding}
A better angle of the line….
Maxx continues to tend to her garden, which was really bringing some good harvests.
Brad had mastered his riding skills and Canarie was also slowly maxing out his racing skills.
Venus takes some time to play around on the training ground.
As does Luna.
The young girls spend time talking to one another, and bonding. Knowing that they too will join the training ranks once they grow up.
Paul takes Louise out for some training.
Brad works Canarie on his racing skills while Amber woks Bailey
Amber tries for the harder jumps with Bailey who doesn’t seem to have a problem with them, almost perfect jumps every time.
The two half sisters continue to horse around.
Looking forward to your next installment!
That's what i do to help me choose and it's been hard as there have been a few.. yikes.
I'll have a better look at them through your earlier threads and see which one i feel would be good... I also let them age up and see as teens who might be the better one, i have had a couple I've picked but just didn't want to stick around, eg upon growing up their traits had changed.
Maxx too is the only one with fertility too. Non of the others so I'm stumped as to how Amber her granddaughter has had quads (no fertility treatment). AND WANTS MORE kids... no way... she's done (actually they have one more)... You know what they did during game play, i moved them out and they had triplets on their own so she's got 11 children in the end lol I was shocked when i was playing and then all of a suddent there was more siblings i was like huh where they come from and i'm not controlling them. lol
Yes it has been a heart jerker even for me when it all was happening, but i was strong and kept playing lol, the first time i found it really hard with Chivas and Saffron, it is getting easier, tho i have to say wait it gets even more tear jerky soon.... i was actually blown away as it was free will of the sims that ended with the results. I love just watching them. We have some very special Sims in our worlds, really do!
Thank you sweetie and i put up the intro for the new challenge too
I will return once i'm back with a semi new machine
Part five – Birthday Party, growing up and Foals 35 & 36.
With funds rising and the family being classed into the rich side of life, they decided to invest their money into a much wanted necessity. The front paddock was converted as an entertaining area and a decent sized swimming pool was added to the front part of the property, paddocks were opened up and made into one large area for the horses.
With the new pool in place it was time to call some family and friends over to enjoy a nice pool party.
Everyone seemed to be having a great time.
Finally he party had come to an end and everyone slowly departed for their homes.
Maxx decided to entertain the horses, and some family members were still high from the party, they joined in to dance.
Paul and Amber remembering their beautiful wedding night, couldn’t help but feel romantic again.
And try out the new hay bale for some fun.
Amber of course pregnant again.
Maxx continuing to tend to her garden. And almost mastering her gardening skills.
*************************************************************************
The time has come again for yet another party, the quad triplets were aging up and being such a big family now, Maxx, Amber and Paul wanted to throw them a nice birthday party. Wish such a huge family, some would miss out on invitations, but non the less everyone was happy to attend.
People started to gather but what no one expected was a visit from grim reaper, sadly one of the stray dogs that comes to visit, passed away just as the party was starting.
Grim Reaper did what he had to do and sent little Stray dog on his way to the afterlife. Everyone watched in shock yet confusion as no one knew him.
Maxx as always being a huge softie couldn’t help but cry and mourn the little stray dog.
The entertainers began to entertain he children, despite of what was going on, to divert the attention.
Finally the party could get started and the girls we in position to have their birthdays.
Once by one they began aging up, Venus being the first.
Followed by Opal
Then Cosette
And finally Genevieve
Celebrations continued
As the DJ never turned up Maxx decided to try her hand at entertaining the crowd….
And thankfully some took to the dance floor
Maxx seems to be doing an ok job on the DJing…
Birthday night seem to happen with a couple more surprises, Thelma decided to bring a little filly name Cher to join the family.
Everyone gathered to congratulate Thelma on a great job and see the now joyous addition.
Louise decided to join her half sister and also give birth tonight. And gave birth to a little colt who was named Sonny. Bailey had been successful in becoming a father.
Everyone gathered around to admire the little lad and noticed he was a unicorn like him mother.
The festivities didn’t end here… Little Venus was also celebrating her birthday tonight.
Luna also aged up and celebrated her birthday.
Celebrations will still taking place as some people just party all night long…
Cher decided to investigate some birthday cake..
While Sonny looked around his new home and watched a little chipmunk running around his hooves.
******************************************************************
Genevieve decided to try some riding for the first time.
Brad immediately took to training Venus under saddle
And Paul took Luna for some training under saddle.
Thelma taking the time to enjoy some ball playing, or have a quick nap….
Amber like her grandmother a green thumb attended to the blossoming garden that was in need of some tlc.
Cosette tried out riding on Canarie and like her sister was not impressed how scary it was.
Sonny and Cher took the time to bond their friendship and play together.
Brad took Venus on the big jumps and she didn’t have a problem with them at all.
Paul taught Luna the racing turf.
Cosette and her sister Venus still working on their riding skills, both not overly happy how scary it is, but slowly getting better at it.
Opal on the other hand preferred to tend to the garden, she didn’t care much for riding.
Sonny and Cher continued to play….
Sneaky Louise didn’t like one of the paparazzi and set him on fire…. {I was busy watching the foals when I got a notification someone was on fire, so I looked to find this… Cheeky Louise she really is something lol}
The maid couldn’t help but laugh at what she saw.
After he did the much amused fire dance, the house keeper finally put him out, not before she had a giggle. Maxx was a bit late to attend to his aid but stood around to watch him be put out.
Not sure if he will be back again lol
The foals continued to frolic and play, amusing themselves.
The girls slowly picking up their riding to a trot.
The men swapped the horses on different training regimes; Luna was now on the jumps and Venus on the racing poles, both knew it will be time to sell the girls.
It’s been a long day for everyone. Sonny enjoying a little roll before bed time. Amber still working the garden. She had harvested and collected so much produce, it was a decent amount she could sell.
Venus loving the horse riding and as she’s now into a gallop, lets the time slip away.
She is pulled up by the police and escorted home.
Cosette too got brought home by the police and Brad was there waiting for her to scold her, she begged for forgiveness, he did forgive her but she was not to forget her curfew again.
Cosette set out the next day to continue learning her riding skills, she absolutely loves being on horseback.
It was time to sell Luna, she was sold for $12,930
Brad sold Venus once she was fully trained for $12,865
Brad brought Cosette a little Arab called buddy from the Equestrian Centre for Cosette to learn and practise her training on, she was the main one out of the quads to be highly keen on the horses, as the stallions were getting sold and so were the growing foals to make room for future breeders, Brad thought it might help Cosette to have her own horse to learn on.
Cosette wasted no time and was practicing her riding.
Sisters Venus and Genevieve decided to help mum Amber with the gardening.
Some time had passed and it was time for Sonny and Cher to grow up.
Cher the first to age up.
Followed by Sonny
Brad and Paul both tended to the new adults… Both were huge horses.
Paul took Cher down to the training grounds and immediately pushed her to the big jumps, this girl was a born jumper. With level 9 when she was born she jumped without a problem in the world.
Brad took Sonny for his first ride and training.
Venus enjoyed painting and continued to work on her skills with art.
Meanwhile Maxx took a relaxing moment in the pool followed by her great granddaughter Venus who joined her in the cool water too.
Part One - The true magic of a Unicorn's power and foals 37 & 38.
Days and time as always is flying past at the Mystique Ranch.
Amber was due to give birth once again, she really is taking after her Great Grandmother Maxx in the baby birthing side of things.
Paul met up with Amber at the hospital; Amber gave birth to triplet boys, Caspian, Oliver and Joshua. {Quads just weren’t enough lol}
Sonny was fully trained now and Brad decided to put him up for sale, Sonny sold for $12,668
With so much activity taking place and the new triplets, and with new stallions soon to be purchased it was time to sell all the stallions, or send them back to their breeders, however Maxx like always took her horses for their final ride before they would be re-homed or sold. Canarie was also successful in assisting with the 50 foal challenge in his siring of two beautiful foals, Maxx knew it was time to let him go too.
Paul took Cher for her last ride she was fully trained also and she was sold for $12,945
Ceaser took the time to run around and investigate his new home and surroundings.
He is joined by his half brother Eclipse in the inspections of their new home.
Of course like all the foals before them, they take the time to share their biggest secrets and who they like or don’t like.
And discuss matters of the Birds and the Leaves.
Naturally like all the foals, they engage in some much needed fun time of horsing around.
Play time of course continues between the two half brothers.
These two are already showing signs they want to race. Both anxious for the need for speed.
And chase time is a must for the boys.
*******************************************************************
As all the family are partied out, they didn’t have the need for big celebrations, but rather some private ones. Brad is the first to age and join Maxx in retirement age.
The triplets decided it was time for their birthdays too. One by one they aged up also.
But as always birthdays don’t stop with one or two, the boys decided they wanted to grow up and start their lives as adult horses.
{I accidentally snapped this so thought I would share a aerial view of the Mystique Ranch and surroundings, The track next to it, is the family’s personal training grounds too.}
It was time for training, despite the weather… Brad took Ceaser for his first training under the saddle.
Paul wasted no time with Eclipse and hit for the high hums, Eclipse flew over them with ease, and in the background it looks like the local horses were rounding up a criminal….
Brad worked Ceaser hard, working on the racing track then the jumps.
After a long hard days work of riding, it was time to sell the boys, there were big buyers interested in them, so it was time to let them go to their new homes.
Eclipse also joined his new family and was sold. Naturally not before he did his unicorn call of the wild pose.
*********************************************************************
Meanwhile events were taking place at home.
It was like Maxx had known, she went into her shrine area and…. Yes it was time…
Amber was the only one home along with some nosy paparazzi as per usual, the boys were selling the horses at the time. Amber came running just as Grim himself was arriving. Maxx just waited.
Maxx got her gravestone and Grim as per usual was giving his speech of all the lifes good and bad doings.
Maxx had no bad, Grim assured her and bowed to her presence, this was hard work even for him. He was very fond of Maxx and usually hung around after he had taken a soul. But now it was time for Maxx to say farewell to all she had achieved and to all she loves.
Grim continues to cuss at why his job is made so hard at times.
Grim finds this the hardest part of his job, it’s almost like he’s not wanting to take her, but he knows he has to. Amber is shattered.
Maxx looks at her gravestone…. And waits for her acceptance to depart the wonderful world she had created, all the lives she has loved and whom she still loves.
Maxx turns to Grim to ask him what is taking so long? Amber suffering not knowing what to do, but cry.
Grim shakes her hand, she has achieved the most he’s ever know, even in his eyes she’s a superstar that left her mark.
Maxx jumps in and is gone. Grim stands there watching as Amber screams with pain.
Grim just frozen standing there… even he can’t believe she’s gone.
Brad just made it home to see Grim standing there, but even he is shocked and cannot believe that Maxx is no more.
He even decides to give Grim the death stare, yet treads carefully as he knows grim will be coming for him one day too. Louise decides to come to see what is going on.
Louise being a arrogant and proud Unicorn barges in, she wants a closer look at her beloved Maxx’s grave and Grim who still stands there frozen in shock.
Grim who loves to takes souls try to show his strength off to Louise.
Louise doesn’t buy it, she approaches him confidently.
Louise nudges him to tell him what she thinks and feels.
Louise gives him the unicorn stare, she continues to talk to Grim, he took her mother and Great grandmother… he has taken many… but this one one person that hurt the most for her…
Louise continues to negotiate and talk to Grim, who is shocked at her allegations and implications.
Grim almost insulted but he listens, and he knows she’s right in many ways..
Louise continues to talk to him about love and how it is a blessing, how much someone can feel for another…
She nuzzles Grim showing him affection, that it’s a beautiful thing, showing him that he’s taken the one thing that keeps her heart beating. {at this point in the game I had to click on her to see what she was doing… I had no idea what actually was happening… the game was pretty much playing out on it’s own}
She continues to nuzzle Grim, who isn’t as bad as everyone feels he is. He actually enjoyed her affection.
And to her request he brings Maxx’s spirit out of her grave…. {I was sitting crying and in shock at this point I can tell you this much}
Maxx just waking up from her sleep begins to feel a warmth throughout her spirit… Louise stands back and watches.
Grim has given her life back, he honored Louise’s request and has given her one more chance to enjoy her life.
Maxx cannot believe it, she can feel her body once again. Louise stands watching Grim with appreciation. However Grim has others in mind….
Maxx confused as to what’s just happened, gets comforted and loved by Louise who was her gift in life, she had her resurrected. Grim still awaits some kind of reward.
Louise nuzzles her beloved Maxx to welcome her back. Grim in ore of this powerful unicorn
Grim explains to Maxx what has happened and that because of her Louise she is now back to life to enjoy and continue to leave her trade mark. He blamed it all on Louise who took it with pride. She was her saving Grace.
Louise turns to talk to Maxx and without needing words their eyes meet and it’s enough, Maxx knows she owes her life to Louise. One heck of a precious unicorn she is.
Louise shows her affection to Maxx and is happy to have her beloved back. She nuzzles her with total love and trust.
And grants her the unicorn blessing once again. {at this moment Maxx ran off and I never knew what happened, I was not able to control her… as it’s all new to me I let the game play one to see what would unfold}
Louise wasted no time to show her affection to Grim and appreciation for restoring Maxx’s life, she also send her love to her mother Destiny and Grandmother Chivas love through Grim to pass the messages one. { WOW - What a unicorn is all I can say}
Louise continues to talk to him and Grim responds to her, even he is in ore of this powerful mystical animal.
Louise knows Grim needs a reward… so she backs off…. Slowly….
Grim decides he will take Brad instead….
Brad looks to Louise but Louise looks away she has saved the one she wanted.. although she didn’t mind Brad she was fonder of Maxx
Grim begins to read Brad his life's doings… preparing him for the afterlife.
Brad begs for his life to Grim… but Grim wants to take someone tonight…
And without wasting any time, he sends Brad to his grave.
Regardless his job isn’t easy, not with the bonds of human life form.
He turns to Louise one more time… Louise sniffs him and shows her approval and appreciation.
Grim has really taken to Louise and talks to her for a while.. sharing magical secrets that only a unicorn would understand.
Grim continues to whisper to Louise, secretly he tells Louise to watch over her family and Maxx….
They lock eyes and one more time take some time to unite in their understandings before Grim decides his time here was enough.
First Stallion to make his arrival was Scamp Stahl, a huge thank you to EIisabetta for allowing one of your stallions to join out challenge.
The next stunning stallion is Teddybear from Duckypants and he is a big cute teddybear.
We are also very privileged to have Dasher Thompson from ElijahsBabyGurl9 to join our family and assist with the challenge, once again to our dear friend we thank you for this stunning Magical creature.
Finally the last little lad to join our family is Blaze from shiann121. Louise naturally comes to inspect the little man to make him feel at home, knowing he’s left his mother early she reaches out to him to make him feel welcomed at his new home.
Louise continues to talk to him and comfort him, he is missing his mummy and she works on relieving some of his stress. She knows in her heart Maxx would have been the first one to tend to a motherless foal, but since she was resurrected no one can seem to find her where abouts.
So Louise takes it upon herself to make the little lad feel right at home.
Louise wastes no time in blessing him to give him the warmth he would be missing from his mother.
Blaze never having this kind of experience embraces the unicorn blessing.
And bows to his new adopted mother, she has granted him the gift and he will honor her with the strength of being a strong stallion one day soon.
Blaze talks to Louise and thanks her so much for the wonderful feelings, he no longer is feeling sad and missing his mummy.
Amber broken still that Maxx is gone and cannot be found, continues to search but every day she’s exhausted only to come home empty handed. However she doesn’t give up… she wants her grandmother back at home.
Time has been passing by, Blaze decided to grow up and join the adult stallions. Scamp has impregnated the girls and their foals are due any moment soon too.
Amber has taken to get back into training, she takes Dasher through the training course and of course straight onto the big jumps, Dasher loves them and is ready to compete also.
Paul works on Scamp with his racing skills
As all the kids had moved out and Maxx is no longer here, with Brad passing over they are short of riders, however Teddybear decides to take to the racing track on his own accord and train, he doesn’t want to miss out on all he fuss of training as they other horses are.
Amber gets interrupted from her training to pose for a photo… ahh the life of a celebrity.
And off course as always she learned from the best, she talks to her horse before they get back to work.
Dasher has bonded strongly with Amber and naturally has to display his affection with his unicorn call of the wild. Amber watches in ore.
Teddybear continues to train.
Amber saw something a little different today… she met Valencia this stunning mermaid. She got to know her and talk to her. They actually became good friends very quickly sharing a lot in common.
Paul wanted another baby… Amber not overly keen as she knows pregnancy will man one more man down and they already are struggling with working the horses. So they decided to genetically produce one. Boris was born after a few hours being made in the science facility. A big healthy young baby to join them… guess Paul was thinking of the future…
**************************************************************************
Time has come as always for the babies to grow up.
Thelma decides that a little filly is born called Bambi
Paul and Amber come to see their new joyful baby.
Louise like her half sister decides it’s also time and gives birth to a little colt they name Thumper.
Thumper wastes no time in looking at his surroundings.
Boris too has aged up and comes out to meet Bambi. Once again Saffron’s white saddle mark has continued on through the lines.
Thumper continues to sniff around his new home.
Louise comes to comfort her son as she can see he is sad….
She spends time grooming him.
Boris on the other hand is having fun with Bambi playing chase and having a happy time together.
Louise continued to comfort her son
Thumper cant help but ask his mother why wasn’t he born a unicorn, and Louise talks to him about life, how not everyone can be born a unicorn, but its till makes him special when he’s half a unicorn.
Louise talks to him about life and all the creatures great and small. Thumper listens to his mothers wise words.
Louise still sees her son is unhappy, so she blesses him like many of her foals before, to give him the gift of the unicorn blessings. To lighten his soul from the heavy burden and unexplained questions of life.
Thumper not only embracing his mothers blessing but getting an understanding of her power and might within her Magical soul
Louise shows her appreciation to the skies, knowing she’s made her son happy and lightened his soul.
*************************************************************
Time has been flying past, with consistent training and working with the horses. Amber now concentrating more on her work than wondering for her grandmothers whereabouts any longer… As the foals were on the ground it was time to return Scamp to his breeder.
Amber took Scamp back to the EC for his breeders to come and pick him up.
On her way out Amber bumped into her cousin Ava, Ava was an evil child but as she’s matured into an adult has learned to become a much nicer person, guess her unicorn curse from uni has taught her to show some heart…
Amber and Ava talk for a little while Amber telling Ava about all the things that had happened just like days of our lives movie. Ava listens to Amber's crazy story.
Amber asks Ava if she learns or hears where Maxx is living to let her know, she wants her grandmother back at home. Amber and her husband Paul were granted a two day free vacation and as they really didn’t have a honeymoon decided to accept… mean while Amber plead with Ava to continue to seek out Maxx for her while they are away.
While his parents were on their holiday Boris decides it’s time to learn to horse ride, he takes out blaze for his very first ride.
https://s19.postimg.cc/4jw44xbk3/Screenshot-555.jpg
Thumper and Bambi decided to take their time out before they age up.
Half brother and sister enjoying their chat together too.
Both Amber and Paul return from their vacation. They finally got to enjoy their honeymoon
PART 2 - The life of a Mermaid, foals 41 & 42
Upon their arrival from their honeymoon Boris had aged up into a fine young adult, he naturally continued to show interest in the horses, and his keen senses and ability to work with them, has proven to his parents that he will shortly take over their roles and work through the challenge.
Amber decided to invite Valencia her best friend over for a dip in the pool and to meet the family. The boys haven’t met Valencia yet and never had the joys to meet a mermaid in person.
Boris who couldn’t help himself was mesmerized by Valencia, being an older woman he continued to be the gentleman he is, when speaking to her. Valencia already a unhappily married woman and mother of 3 children, found herself a little attracted to Boris already.
Even though Valencia is older than Boris she still could whoop his butt in a good pillow fight challenge. They enjoyed themselves with a little play time out of the pool.
Boris and Valencia’s friendship rises as they both have some fun playing around.
Naturally Boris being a shy male and one who is curious about Valencia and her mermaid status spends time talking to her about her life, and how magical and difficult it would be, one thing he is mystified by her beauty.
He talks to her and gently flirts, knowing she’s a married woman with 3 children he however struggles to contain his feelings for her, gazing into her blue eyes and sweet smells his feelings for her keep growing. They have so much in common it is blinding his thoughts, his actions. Valencia has never met anyone like him and coming from an abusive man finds Boris’s gentle nature very alluring too.
After some time getting to know one another Boris can’t help but whisper to Valencia, words she’s never heard from another man, she embraces his big gentle nature and warmth. Boris builds up the courage to even flippantly ask her to leave her husband. As Valencia is already unhappy she’s doesn’t hesitate but notifies Boris he now has an enemy in Hunter. Boris doesn’t’ care he asks her to stay the night, he doesn’t want to lose this opportunity to never see her again.
Valencia agrees to stay the night, Boris inviting her inside, they continue to talk. He is now totally blinded by her presence, they continue to get to know each other and gaze into each others eyes.
Boris finally builds up the courage to kiss Valencia, he throws her a heated kiss, hoping she wont reject him.
Valencia totally surprised by his confident outburst, but enjoying the quick confidence boost, reacts to his outburst.
She pulls him towards her and continues in the passion. They are both so into one another, nothing else matters anymore.
They continue to embrace and gaze into each others eyes. Whispering sweet nothings, mostly just staring into one another souls. Love at first sight. Both know the feelings are true and real.
Boris asks Valencia to be his girlfriend, of course she has waited for this moment and wastes no time in saying yes, Boris of course has other things on his mind. Valencia seems to have brought out a confidence in him that even he finds surprising.
As it’s getting late and both are tired, but Boris wont g to bed before he makes Valencia permanently his fiancé, so he decides to make it official and proposes to Valencia, and of course she wastes no time and says yes!
Despite how tired they are they both manage to have a cuddle before bedtime.
Valencia woke up while Boris was asleep and got caught up into this ball of liquid light.
After some time …she hit the floor losing her scales and having human legs. She is now worried that Boris will not want her anymore. What is she to do, she can’t afford to get kelp to become a mermaid again..
Scared and Worried, standing alone while Boris is asleep, she runs off home and doesn’t stay the night, scared that the one man he actually feels love for will not want her. She doesn’t wait around until morning for him to see her. She whispers I love you as she leaves. Frightened Boris will not want her anymore.
*************************************************************************************************************
First to age up is Bambi and immediately followed by Thumper.
Boris who had woken up to find that Valencia had left without a note or anything, was wondering why she left, never even slept there. He was wondering if he had dome something wrong, but he knows that he has to get his riding skills up and concentrate on the horse work. With the foals aging up, the mares pregnant and ready to foal soon, it will be time for new stallions to join. So Boris continues to ride Teddybear and work on his skills.
Paul takes Bambi to the training grounds and puts Bambi onto the hard jumps she is born with level 9 and is only needing a little more work to max out her skills. Bambi without any issues flies over the jumps like a champion.
Amber after caring for Thumpers grooming needs, saddles him up and heads for the training grounds too. Thumper like his half sister needs very little work on the jumping skills. Both young horses now slowly being broken in saddle work.
Boris gaining up his skills to a gallop now, takes Teddybear up to the mountains, for a nice scenic ride.
They both arrive to the waterhole and see many wild horses around, Boris is amazed just as much as Teddybear is, but his thoughts are still with Valencia. Non the less he proceeds to continue with his riding skills.
Paul and Amber had spent the day training the young horses and are exhausted, before they head off home to eat and go to bed, they sell the horses. Bambi is sold for $11,797 and Thumper is $9,846.
Boris decides to do a riding class and enter his first competition with Teddybear budgie, he’s leveled up enough to enter a beginners race and comes first.
On his way out, the paparazzi happen to want to get some photos of him, celebrity highlights are beginning to follow him now too. With another local wanting his autograph (again without underpants) – yikes….
The next morning Amber takes Dasher for some training.
Boris and Paul also take Teddybear and Blaze for some training too.
Meanwhile at home the girls decided it’s time to birth their new babies. Louise gave birth to a little colt called Anthony.
Thelma also gave birth to a little filly who was given the name Cleopatra.
The foals decide to socialize and get to know one another. Enjoying their new home and surroundings.
That evening Boris got called to Nathan Shultz’s birthday where he and his cousin spend some time mucking around. Boris being reminded of the time he and Valencia had their pillow fight.
After he gets home he helps his parents tend to their growing garden. Boris embracing nature he continues to wonder what has happened to Valencia and why she’s not returning his calls or texts.
Chivas Regal once again decides to have a nap in her old stable, missing Maxx whom also is no where to be found.
The next day Paul takes Teddybear for his training lesson, and max’s out his jumping skills.
Teddybear is so happy even when he comes home he shows his joy for jumping.
Boris decides to continue to tend to the garden this morning and tries his luck in contacting Valencia.
After he successfully got in touch with, Valencia finally brought up the courage to come over and explain what was so heavy on her soul.
They both talk to one another, Valencia explains what happened and how she’s hurting that she can’t be a mermaid for him anymore, how she is missing that life and thought he wouldn’t want her anymore. Boris listens to her and feels her pain. She finally agrees to stay the night, even with human legs.
The next morning Boris took Valencia to the beach, he had a surprise for her and asked her to look the part of a mermaid. She dressed the part and together they gaze into each others eyes, Valencia is not sure what Boris is up to but non the less she has exciting feelings building up.
Boris takes out the wedding rings and begins to exchange his vows, he wants to show her that she means the world to him, human legs or not. Valencia and he exchange their vows.
Now they are husband and wife. But Boris is yet to give Valencia the surprise he had planned for her.
Boris gifts Valencia with a Mermaid kelp and she begins to eat it.
Boris watches as her transformation takes place, watching as she will soon have her wish once again.
And she is now a mermaid again, Boris and her embrace with joy. Valencia feels at home with her abilities once again, smiling with joy.
They decide to go for a dip in the ocean. Sharks swimming around but nothing seems to put them off wanting to enjoy the salt water and Valencia to enjoy her gift again.
Boris watches as his beloved wife takes to the water like a professional and enjoys seeing how happy and natural she looks in the water. Even though he doesn’t know that joy, he enjoys watching her so happy and at home in her natural environment.
While Valencia races around, evening slowly begins to set as the newlyweds enjoy their day at the beach.
Boris decides to enjoy a relaxing moment on a floaty hearing his wife splashing around enjoying herself and recharging her body with the much needed salt water.
Evening was starting to slowly set, they decided to have a little fun splashing about before their mini honeymoon by the ocean comes to an end. With Valencia being married to Boris she had joined the family at the Mystique ranch now, and Boris had told her days start early with the horses. So they had a little more time to enjoy before they would have to head off home.
Valencia decided to give Boris the one gift she knew how to best, to give him the pleasure of being a mermaid also. Boris accepted and began to feel the electric feel of the earth beginning to move under his feet.
Valencia watched as he spun in the liquid light, and waited for that magical feeling to explode inside his soul, bringing the best sensational feelings any human sim could experience.
Valencia jumped with joy, they were both now mermaids and Boris felt on top of the world.
They both felt it was the best night of their lives. Together forever.
Hand in hand they walked through the salt water Boris feeling the water in a different sensation now. Valencia encouraging him to enjoy his new abilities now.
They both taking a dip into the ocean and enjoying like as a mermaid as a couple.
Once they got home they were both tired yet feeling alive.
After their beautiful day they ended the night with some passion and slept soundly until the morning.
*********************************************************
The foals Anthony and Cleopatra finally having their birthdays and aging up into regal young horses.
Valencia had taken Blaze out for her very first ride, she spent most of the morning slowly riding and gaining up her skills. Once they got atop the hill Valencia started to feel a little ill.
With stomach pains and nausea she cries out in pain.
Overcome with the horrible feeling she ends up being sick. It looks like morning sickness has greeted her this morning, unexpectedly.
Boris meanwhile was working Anthony training him in the saddle for the firs time and was unaware that Valencia was feeling ill.
Valencia being a tough spirited girl continues to learn her own riding skills and decides to take Cleopatra for her first ride with the saddle.
However once again she dismounts only to be sick again.
Once she’s feeling better she gets back on Cleopatra and spends mo more time wasting in training her, so that she can join her new owners.
Boris has spent most of the day working Anthony who is slowly gaining his skill points.
Valencia was invited to a pool party and decides to ride to the party hoping she wont be late to the party.
Upon arrival she sadly hasn’t mastered her dismount as such and falls off Cleopatra. Paparazzi wasting no time to capture the embarrassing moment.
Meanwhile both Boris and Valencia are out and about, Mystique Ranch gets a visitor. Maxx has been missing for some time and came to visit the ranch. Sadly no one being home it is only the horses who are aware she had arrived, but then left.
Boris was at the EC centre selling off the two young horses, making room for the next two that would arrive soon. Both had been trained under saddle. Anthony sold for $12,591 and Cleopatra sold for $5,698. It was a nice profitable evening.
When Boris had arrived home he saw a very frightened Blaze, the thunder and lightning had startled him so much he was on the road and panicked.
Boris calmed him down and slowly talked to him to settle his fear down, which seem to work quickly.
Boris saddled up and took Blaze with him to Rosemary’s birthday party which he knew he was running late to. Blaze was so fast he over took the ice cream truck and was gaining speed on the car in front.
Finally Boris arrived to Rosemary’s house and wished her a happy birthday. They spent some time chatting and talking. Boris knew Rosemary was poorer and struggled with money, so he wanted to give her something she could make use of.
Without hesitation Boris gave rosemary a nice expensive gift, which she never expected. She said he was such a kind hearted soul.
Valencia had come home early as she was heavily pregnant and was brushing up on her writing skills. She now could only tend to the grooming needs of the horses and while she waited for Boris to come home, she began to write her very first novel
Yes it sure has been a roller coaster, i cried so much when my main character died, of course time was coming, i kept a close eye on her aging... but when Louise just brought her back to life i was like WHATTTTT no way.. and cried some more, this horse is amazing!! I couldn't believe it, saying that... the twists and turns that will come out in the next few chapters is just as mind blowing... it's amazing the freewill sims have and what they actually do. Really is amazing!!
I just read your chapter and commented and will be going into the game to send my beloved Terrwynn some gifts for her loss and painful time without Nick... Such a hard time and heartbreaking moment in her life. Look forward to your next update sweetness and i'm back on so will be posting up new chapters also. Need to finish publishing this one, as i have started two new ones. One puppy challenge... another a mystery maybe?
I'm working on a "life after the 50 foal challenge" story as so much as been happening since i have been back to app plains. I think it deserves it's own story too.. so not sure where or which angle i'm taking things once this one is finished.... an it's not far at all.
And re Dasher he is adorable, he was such a darling unicorn!!! YES he did and his babies may just be popping up somewhere in another story too
PART 3 Return of the founder – foals 43 to 46.
With the evenings raining so heavily and storms brewing, after all the horses were locked up and tended to, Boris enjoys playing drums for a little bit, where Saffron decides she’s going to visit the family again, however Maxx isn’t there to greet her anymore.
That evening Louise had given birth to a little filly, she was named Fortune, Blaze was successful at being a father.
Thelma also gave birth to a little colt who was named Lucky.
The next morning the foals made the most of their play time, fooling around and bonding.
Enjoying themselves so much they both are energetic and pesky little babies.
Boris for some time has been trying to get in touch with his great grandmother, he got news from some locals that she was homeless since she got her life back from Grim, when Louise had her resurrected, and no one seem to know how to find her and getting in touch with her isn’t easy either. Boris knew his mother Amber wanted to find Maxx and try to bring her back home, she didn’t deserve to live on the streets, she built this empire and everything around him, that he enjoys everyday and finding out she was homeless and struggling was heart breaking enough. The thought was unbearable, Boris a soft soul and very much like his Great Grandmother, caring and worrying about everyone and everything, he decided he had to continued in his mothers footsteps to try to get his great grandmother back into her original home.
Finally after months of trying, he finally managed to get Maxx on the phone and asked her over, Maxx came and Boris wasted no time in talking to her of how worried he has been and the whole family of her where about. Boris didn’t know her very well but heard many amazing and wonderful stories, so he wanted to spend time to get to know her better too. He wanted to embrace her aura and beautiful spirit everyone so adores. After some time talking with her, Boris saw she was very hungry and weak and asked her to come inside.
Over the time since being resurrected Maxx did become very frail and moved very slowly, it took her much longer than normal to walk to her old front door… was Maxx dying? No one really knew yet.
Boris came over to help her and they both got talking. He knew this place was best run by her. He began to explain these feelings and matters with her, expressing how he wanted her to move back, but had to get residents reduced due to the council’s regulations. He continued to explain matters to Maxx when he got interrupted…..
Valencia was rushed to hospital as she was in labor. Her water had broke and Boris was about to be a dad. So he left Maxx hoping she would make herself in her own home, he left to be with Valencia in the hospital.
Boris and Valencia got a beautiful baby boy which they name Atlantis. By the time they got home, Boris found Maxx had left. He was so worried and tried calling her but no answer, he knew it was late. He was exhausted from the days events, he thought he would leave it until the next day.
The household was busy with so much going on and Boris constantly working on getting his great grandmother back at home. There was some problems with the council regulations that there were too many living sims in the household and another was not permitted to join. So it was time to cut down. Stallions got sold, with Lucky and Fortune growing up they were quickly trained under saddle.
Valencia sold Lucky for $10,452 and Boris sold Fortune for $11,692. His goal was to reduce the household members so that he would get the council permit to ask his great grandmother back home. The stress had been building. And with the challenge almost at an end. It was time to tie loose ends. However the mares were pregnant with Dasher and regardless of cutting members in the household this was still a problem. Boris grew more frustrated but did what he knew best.
With the sales of the horses, Boris decided to ask Maxx over once again. In hopes she wouldn’t knock him back again, to his joy she didn’t and she came back to visit once again. She was very fond of him and so proud of him, his gentle nature reminded Maxx of herself.
Maxx knew nothing of Boris’s plans of why he invited her over today. He spent some time talking with her, she looked unhappy and that she has missed the horses. She was in the show business now to survive. So Boris asked her (once he got council permission of course) for Maxx to move in as a roommate. And she wasted no time in accepting.
Boris was so happy after all the months his mother and he have been on the quest to get their beloved Maxx home, he succeeded, still he knew she was only a roommate but for now until he continued to negotiate with the council, he decided to enjoy a pillow fight with Maxx and enjoy her coming back home.
Despite her frail body Maxx still could whoop his butt in a good pillow fight.
Their play got interrupted when Louise pushed her way in to nuzzle Maxx and tell her how much she’s missed her.
Louise smells her hair and keeps nuzzling with her. Their bond never ended, it’s been a long time since she had seen her Queen.
Louise and Maxx just stare into each others eyes, Maxx doesn’t need to say anything Louise knows all the pain she has lived through. But she is glad she’s home.
Maxx wastes no time and whispers to Louise, sharing their secrets. Louise embraces all her pain and love.
Embracing Louise and both have their moments of silence, no words were needed, it is all understood and felt, deep in their souls.
Louise wastes no more time and blesses her queen to recharge her with some magical love and power, to bring up her sad spirit, yet fragile body.
Maxx feeling that bright unicorn light swirling through every vein in her body, allowing her heart to breath again, something she hasn’t been able to do since she was resurrected, she now felt she was home!
Once again the girls just cuddle and snuggle. Louise is happy that her one and only is home and Maxx knows how much she has missed being home, she’s missed out on seeing so much but most of all being with her horses which she loves more than life itself.
Louise has assured Maxx is home. Things will be back to normal now she’s here. The emptiness that was lurking in the air has now lifted, Louise feels everything will blossom again now that her queen is home.
Later that evening the time has come for Dasher to be a Sire too, Louise gave birth to a little unicorn filly, she was named Opal.
Thelma gave birth to a little filly also, who was named Pearl.
It was time for Atlantis to grow up from a toddler to a child also, celebrations tonight on many avenues.
As expected Maxx wasted no time in feeding the two girls. Both waiting and taking turns for their feed. The girls knew Maxx was someone special and felt safe around her even with the brewing storm above them.
***************************************************************
Opal was the first to age up
Followed immediately by Pearl. The girls were ready to be trained under saddle.
Valencia tended to Pearl cleaning and caring for her before she saddled her up and takes her for a ride, then to commence with training.
Boris did the same with Opal.
The girls had a keen buyer for them already so Valencia worked hard to saddle train Pearl so that she could join her new home, Karrkitt has been a friend of Maxx’s for some time and offered to buy a variety of horses, knowing the high standards and beautiful place they would be in the remainder of the foals and adult horses would be slowly moving to reside with Karrkitt’s family.
As Pearl’s racing level is maxed out Jumping is needed to bring it up as far as possible.
That evening Pearl is sold for $11,712 and successfully trained under the saddle with only one more to be maxed out in her jumping skill.
Boris works Opal who also has her racing level maxed out and jumping level is 9, one off from being maxed out.
Once broken in Opal is sold for $12,590. Both Boris and Valencia feel like they have done a great job tonight. The Girls have gone to a wonderful home, and now they needed to concentrate on the next tasks. The Challenge was truly coming to a complete… nerves were a little high as to what would happen to their lives after this challenge? Although it wasn’t time to worry about this for now, it was still on the back of their minds.
With all the stallions and foals trained and sold. It was time to get two more stallions soon, but Boris wanted to enjoy some swimming time with his great grandmother in the meantime. He needed to distress and he managed to have long talks with Maxx, his feelings and asking hers about what she would like once this challenge is over? Her wishes, in hopes he could fulfill them… They talked yet enjoyed the swimming.
Two amazing stallions were delivered to the property as the final two for this challenge. They were fast keen and from suburb bloodlines. Boris knew this challenge had to end with a a bang. Although throughout the challenge all the horses that were chosen were of high standard and the foals that came from them were priced higher and carried off the remarkable genes from both parents. These two new stallions were no exception to the rule.
Tiger Fall came from wolfiemix his fiery entrance and presence had everyone's heads turning. He was very unique in his looks and something Maxx loved was the stripes. He favorite wild animal being a tiger he was perfect to be one of the ending stallions.
Le Prix also came from Ponylover7 a beautiful show champion. With amazing traits and abilities the excitement has grown to see what beautiful foals these two final stallions will produce.
Louise doing the one thing she loves most to splash in the water trout, it has been the first time she isn't pregnant and was given a short break. However time was coming for Le Prix to impregnate both the girls.
Thelma on the other hand is enjoying the ball. Both mares still young enough but slowly getting older, with these being the last two babies they will have each. Everyone is excited yet sad that the challenge is coming up to an end slowly too.
Atlantis grew up one more time, was time for his teenage days. Boris and Valencia were getting slowly older themselves, and the ocean was calling them, Both being mermaids, meant that Atlantis was granted the gift of being a mermaid too… but they wanted to finish the challenge. It was the only thing to do before they could start their own lives and head out to sea.
Atlantis thought he would tend to tiger and try out some riding for the first time, however he was getting his mounting wrong.
After correcting his position, he took Tiger for a short ride, before it was time to return home.
Boris on the other hand has been spending more and more time with his great grandmother and taking as many selfies and photos with her for the memories.
And talking about things that are deep on his heart. Asking Maxx is she will not be a room mate anymore but move in permanently back to her family home. Boris felt she deserved this more than anyone as he wanted to eventually answer the call to the ocean life.
Maxx feeling very blessed and chuffed that she has such a beautiful Great Grandson. She assured him that he is not only the perfect gentleman but a wonderful man in all that he aspires. She did happen to ask him to give her another great great grandchild, hoping he would abide…. Meanwhile Chivas awaits to be petted by her queen too.
Valencia worked Le Prix, he was a fantastic jumper so she took him to some racing to build up his skills. Valencia bonded with LePrix really quickly she loved how his elegant grace felt during his rides. He certainly turned heads with his presence.
Atlantis spent more time with Tiger, he really liked how calm and placid Tiger is. Tiger bonded with Atlantis and loved having the attention from him, he could sense Atlantis was a little nervous so he took caution and care of him during their ride together.
The rain begins to fall, but Valencia and Le Prix continue to work with the training.
Atlantis has been working so hard on his riding skills he has now got to a gallop. He and Tiger take to the country side. Atlantis being a merman found the rain didn’t bother him the slightest.
Boris decides to maintain Maxx’s garden and plant more crops. Louise also comes to help out with some of the crops and their growth by blessing some plants in need of extra TLC.
That night Maxx takes the time to ride Louise. Who is pregnant to Le Prix, non the less they slowly go for a ride, before dinner time. Louise had missed this and has nothing but her queen on her mind.
Tonight the family sit together to eat their meal, most times of late it’s been who ever is hungry grabs a bite, but since Maxx has come back home, they sit at the table once more as a family. Maxx is big on the family eating together, and keeping together, so she is honored this grace. Everyone enjoys a nice chat during their meal but also are exhausted from the days events.
Boris talks to Valencia while everyone else has gone to bed. He asks her is she wants to try one more time to fulfill a wish. Valencia loving him so much of course she abides.
Boris and Valencia don’t waste time and go by the hay bale; of course in love as they are, they decide to be a little cheeky rather than the regular routine of having some clean fun. Valencia tonight is successfully pregnant again. Boris has fulfilled Maxx’s wish.
