Man that UI is ancient looking. I have sims 2 and seeing your game makes me want to play it, but I got a new computer 2 years ago and haven't played sims 2 since I got it, and I have heard people have trouble getting it to work since the site shut down and have issues with newer computers not recognizing it or something.
I might make the attempt though lol. You whetting my appetite for it.
Update 54(I skipped some of my updates because I don't think some of you actually read the thread and didn't want the "what?" faces)
The family made their trip to France. They didn't really do much, but chill and relax so I didn't take many photos. Kostas and Niya did get married.
I made Peyton and Kinerly "bridesmaids." They had wore the same outfit. Niya's favorite color is orange so everyone wore orange.
Here's the rest of the family waiting for the wedding to start. Keyan on his tablet during his parents' wedding. :roll:
The couple exchanging rings.
Kinerly: "Awww I can't wait to get married!"
Now joined as one. Mr. and Mrs. Jenner!
The first Jenner child is finally married.
Just some photos of them on the bridge.
Kostas: "Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?"
Wow it should be against the law for you, LunBeauty and Katieterrorface to have such gorgeous sims lol.
Well what kid cares about a wedding. Sure fire way to get their cooperation let them have a tablet. Of course in my day a tablet meant paper and a pen lol.
Kinerly yes you can wait. It isn't all roses you know lol.
Shrek started for his dad's house. He was glad that Fiona was ok, but it irritated him that she had run to his father's house. Why couldn't she see that he wasn't a monster? He didn't understand why she got so upset at dinner last night. He had tried to be understanding. He couldn't help it that he wasn't an ogre used to sharing his feelings. Couldn't she see he had been trying to be sympathetic? She was darn lucky that he hadn't thrown her out the first night she had arrived, and had in spite of her childish temper tantrums and irascible nature that she was still living there. He would not put up with that behavior from any body else, so why her? He shook his head in confusion. Why did he even care where she was, or why was he chasing after her? He thought of the wedding arranged for him and Fiona, thanks to his father. Surprisingly the thought of marrying her didn't make the bile rise in his throat. In fact he felt his heart skip a little beat at the thought. What was wrong with him? He wasn't sure, but in spite of her hideousness, her vulnerability, her irritating way of arguing with him, her childishness and her temper, the thought of losing her filled him with a sense of panic. Could it be? No, he thought, impossible. I can't be. It is ridiculous. Yet he knew to deny the truth any longer wouldn't help. He was in love with Fiona! He stopped struck by the shock at that admission. His felt his face flush. It was true! Somehow the witch had bewitched him. He smiled in excitement. Yes, he was in love, and he was going to tell her so. Shrek stepped up his pace. Now he couldn't wait to see Fiona. All of a sudden a thought hit him, and he stopped abruptly. She couldn't stand him. She had made that clear. She in fact claimed to hate him. NO, that couldn't be. All he had to do was tell her how he felt, and she would see that she was meant to be his. Shrek stood there undecided, or would she? Well he wouldn't know until he saw her. Shrek started running. He had to see her and make her understand, she had to see things his way. She just had to.
Meanwhile at Barthus's house:
Barthus: Shrek should be here any time now. We should talk about the wedding and get some things planned. I know this is hard on him, so the more we take off his shoulders the better.
Fiona looked longingly at Barthus. Barthus saw her look and knew what that meant. He turned away. She felt she was in love with him. Yet as much as he wanted to believe that was true, he didn't really believe it. She was just responding to the kindnesses he had shown her over the years and now. After all, she had lost her father over 6 months ago. Her father had been her rock, and now she was gravitating to him as a father figure. She might not know it, but that was it. Still it was disconcerting to say the least, with him having feelings for her.
Barthus turned away not knowing what to do. He wanted to take her into his arms and kiss her. If she kept looking at him like that he might end up doing something he regretted.
Fiona pleading: Barthus, please listen to me. I must tell you before Shrek comes that I want you to help me get away from Shrek. He doesn't love me, and has made that very clear. If you don't help me, I will have no where to turn. You are my last hope. You don't know what it is like with Shrek. I tried to be nice and cook good meals, but he treats me like I am less than a servant. I might as well be a bug on the wall for all the attention he pays to me. You have to break the contract. You had no right to decide our future for us. There has to be a way. Fiona started to cry!
So she was actually wanting to leave? What had his son done to this woman? He was filled with anger against Shrek. How could he be so callous? In spite of his feelings this wedding had to happen. It was going to kill him to see Fiona married to his son knowing he could never have her, but he had no choice. The contract couldn't be broken.
Fiona stood there crying. Barthus feeling like he was being a cad went against every thought screaming against his doing so and took her into his arms.
Fiona clung to him and whispered desperately: Please Barthus. Don't make me marry Shrek. I love you. It is you I want to be with.
Barthus felt her warm body melt into his. He felt her breath on his neck, her musty smell, he felt her lips kiss his neck. He pushed her away. He couldn't give in.
Fiona thrust away rudely stood there in shock. She was confused. Why had he pushed her away? Surely he felt the same?
Fiona crying silently reached out pleadingly. Her lips moving in silent agony.
Barthus couldn't take it. He couldn't see her like this.
Barthus growling filled with desire grabbed her.
Barthus holding her close: I do love you Fiona. I have loved you ever since you were a little girl. It was my joy to make you happy.
Fiona was shocked, but her heart thrilled inside her. He did love her. Everything was going to be alright.
Fiona: I love you too Barthus. We will tell Shrek that you will be marrying me instead. He won't care.
Barthus sadly: No Fiona. It is not to be. You must marry Shrek. The contract can't be broken.
Fiona crushed: No, I won't believe it.
Barthus: If there was something I could do, I would. Please believe me.
Fiona realizing all hope was lost: Barthus, if I must marry Shrek please don't let me do so without having a moment in your arms. Please Barthus, if you love me just one kiss? Just one?
Barthus knowing it was wrong, didn't have the heart to say no. He lowered his head gently, his lips touching hers. The kiss started gentle like a butterfly, but her lips opened beneath his and she moaned in desire. The kiss deepened both their passions raging out of control.
Shrek stepped into the doorway: Fiona, dad.... the words died on his lips as he realized that the woman he loved and his father were locked in a lovers embrace!
Noooooo! Oh, this isn't good at all! Barthus, you're old enough to know better! Can't wait to see what happens next!
@IreneSwift-
I like how she's so friendly with everyone. It's nice!
Those are some really nice artifacts!
I've caught an crocodile before, but never been there to actually see the sim caught it. It does look different. :?
That was a very beautiful wedding. She looked pretty.
LOL she is NOT going to ruin her moment with a phone call.
Did he moving in with her?
@FluorescentSoap-
Beautiful family! Happy Birthday to Emma Jay, I bet she's really pretty! Emma Jay's dad looks like some actor in real life!
@KatieTerrorFace-
LOL laughing to hard at Boone. Does that sculpture have scissor-hands?
Seems like the telescopes were for spies or creepers
Ok then you two have fun in the wardrobe.
Doesn't looks like Boone was to fond of Queenie. Haha I like her little intro-type thing! Ooow she's so sassy.
Her telescope!
Those aren't bad errands to run.
Must be a set up?! :shock:
@Zabeth-
Sun Young is so pretty! And your graphics are amazing!
Great update looks like the two are going to become the best of friends.
Oh no problem. You actually read my thread? Feels like a ghost town over there. Yeah I don't put a lot of stuff on here because some of the things that happen are from past events and I don't most have actually read the updates before I started putting them in this thread. Thank you so much for all the nice comments!!
@em1378-
Happy Birthday to all!
Looks like Drew found a friend while in college.
Congrats to the two for becoming a thing! They look nice together!
Congrats to Drew and Cade's marriage and the new baby girl!
The Life of Jenners - Update 53 - Part 1(Didn't mean to skip this one, this was before the wedding)
Parker decided it was time to teach Kinerly how to drive since she was heading into her senior days of high school.
Kinerly: "Mom can we just get in the car already? I know how to work a seatbelt."
<img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3847/14350478279_c5a98b22b6_c.jpg" width="800" height="452" alt="Screenshot-265"></a>
Parker: "We can do this another time if you don't want to learn!"
Kinerly: "What was that about a seatbelt?"
Parker: "Mmhmm. Let's get in the car!"

@Colorist-
I wonder what this contract is? Fiona doesn't love Shrek! What did he do?
Oooow Barthus...they got caught! :shock:
Lol thank you!! Lunbeauty and Katieterrorface do have very gorgeous sims!
Ikr most kids are just worried about the cake which they didn't even have lol.
Thank you for all the nice comments!!

The great uncle of Shrek rules Ogrid currently and he is evil so the Ogres liking Barthus agreed to let Shrek marry Fiona and rule when she was of age. The contract is binding and if they break it, Shrek and Barthus will be put to death and Fiona will be at the whim of the new ruler or the old one if he isn't deposed lol. He can have her put to death as well, put her in his harem, sell her into slavery or put her in a state sanctioned brothel.
One more side note, Fiona's grandmother, a human became the ruler of a fairy world again due to their ruler being evil after she agreed to depose the evil Queen. The fairies agreed as long as she didn't have children of her own, and agreed to adopt a fairy child to raise as the next ruler. The fairies allowed her after a time to get married believing she would not have children as promised. She did wanting children of her own eventually, and tried to deceive the fairies into thinking it was her handmaiden's. She was found out by a fairy slave which hated the queen,and the fairies wanted to kill the child by giving it poison which they did. The handmaiden found out and went to a powerful witch who agreed to help. Unbeknownst to the queen or her handmaiden it would come with a price. The witch gave a potion to the queen who gave it to her child, Fiona's mother. Then she told her as punishment for deceiving the fairies, any children that the queen had would only be able to give birth to ogres, including Fiona's mother. Fiona's mother when she got older found out, and left the fairy land never having contact with her mother ever again out of anger. The grandmother finally stepped down, the fairy child took over, and no one heard from her again. Fiona was never told about her grandmother until Shrek told her about what his father said and telling her she was the granddaughter of a princess. I don't think Fiona believes it though.
Are you switching households when you play with Kate, Luxy, and Boone?
Is Boone actually changing into a decent person? I would have expected him to be a lot nastier, demanding that Queenie leave, instead of asking and saying please. I could almost feel sorry for him at this point.
That Hunt U. Down is a pretty nasty guy himself! Maybe Kate & Luxy should start torturing him!
Oh oh, somebody is being devious! Don't go girls, it's a trap!
em1378 Congratulations to all the sims with birthdays. Good luck to Drew in University. Looks like he's finding himself a romantic interest there.
Aha! So, now she's a girlfriend. I hope everything works out well for them.
Drew moves fast! Married and with a baby on the way already! And congratulations on their first daughter!
TadOlson Thank you.
I guess you have to do what you have to do! (Sandi eating dog food when Mom & Dad are too busy)
They could have fed Sandi on the floor when they got her up. It only takes a sim minute or two extra, lots less time than using the high chair. Learning skills is a good thing to do on days off from work. Just make sure they have some time to do something fun together now and then, too.
Aaeiyn No, I don't mind if you skip my updates. Even if you are reading them, it doesn't mean you have to comment on them. Your plan make sense.
Looks like love is in the air in your game!
ddsims3world I know the feeling! The thread grows so fast sometimes! It's now almost as long as the original was when it was replaced with this one.
MayaRose1138 Yes, I'll post pictures. I probably will enlarge the house a little at a time, as needed.
AiHaou Did the game actually put all those clones in your town?
Good luck to the prospective students on those tests! Looks like everybody's enjoying themselves in one way or another.
LunBeauty I have no idea who was calling that time. But the next day, they woohooed in the shower and later in bed again, and one of the other of them got a phone call just as they were getting started. I'm beginning to wonder if they're going to get a phone call every time!
Not only that, when Farid went out to get the mail, there was a gift and love letter for Alex, from a married man in town!
I wasn't thinking of celebrity disgrace when I said that about Cadence, I was referring to the reputation system. With all the guys she's woohooed with, it seems inevitable she'd have gotten a bad reputation by now.
Amj1995 Congratulations to Kostas and Niya on their wedding. The bridesmaids look very pretty. That's a very pretty wedding dress too. Very nice pictures!
Thank you. No, they don't answer the phone when it rings at a time like that! Yes, Farid did move in with her. She owns her vacation house there in Al Simhara, and he didn't have a house of his own. He lived with his mother, brother, and sister-in-law. Soon, they will be going back to her home in Sunset Valley, and later he will go with her when she travels. She owns a house in France too.
LOL! I like the teaching to drive discussion! The kids seem to get in someone else's bed at least half the time, when they're going to get read to sleep. So, Peyton seems to have found her own special someone. I hope it works out for them.
Zabeth0 Somehow I missed getting that Konstantin is a secret agent. Now I don't understand at all. Why would he kill innocent family members along with the criminal he was after? Unless, of course, this is like the 🐸🐸🐸🐸, where actual guilt or innocence isn't that important to the powers that be, just the potential of someone exercising independence of thought and action being considered a threat to the system.
Colorist40 Oh, great! Now that Shrek finally realizes he actually does love Fiona after all, she and his dad are giving in to inappropriate feelings for each other, just in time for Shrek to walk in and see it! That is not going to help matters one bit!
You're sure getting in all the drama you can aren't you?! LOL!
I still have more faults than I am happy with, too. But I'm a very different person than I used to be.
No, I am not going to play Alex and Farid again in another game. I have too many other games waiting on hold that I want to get back to, and probably just as many planned, and even set up, new games I want to start.

Thank you for your prayers.
Nah. I had three copies of that sim in my bin for some reason.
Amj1995: Very nice! The wedding was so beautiful. I see that you're slowly, but surely getting some of your CC back into your game. Thanks for the comments as well.
em1378: Congratulations on baby Jenni.
Colorist40: Oh no! Shrek came in at the worst moment possible. But I do love the whole forbidden love aspect. It's so romantic. *Sighs dreamily*
Colorist: Oh, poor Shrek! Lol- I know it's just the angle but it almost looks like Barthus is fondling her bows there... :oops: If you can't be together, what good could come from a kiss? And you just found out what bad could come of it! :shock: (Oh, emotions are tricky things!) Seriously Barthus, you knew better! (And they all knew Shrek was on his way over!) Poor Shrek.
Amj: Thank you. Sun Young is from WA's China, with a make up change and hair change. My current computer is less than a year old Yeah, um, the first time or so that you posted on the thread here I had plenty of time, and clicked on your banner and read them all to the current one, but since then I had sort of assumed that you were updating the thread and your signature thread at the same time, so I was missing some and didn't realize it. So, when you mentioned that you were skipping some, I went and got caught up. (Though I've only been commenting on this thread.) I think the Jenners are hilarious. Lol@"She better peddle faster!"
Are you switching households when you play with Kate, Luxy, and Boone?
Is Boone actually changing into a decent person? I would have expected him to be a lot nastier, demanding that Queenie leave, instead of asking and saying please. I could almost feel sorry for him at this point.
That Hunt U. Down is a pretty nasty guy himself! Maybe Kate & Luxy should start torturing him!
Oh oh, somebody is being devious! Don't go girls, it's a trap!
Haha, nope. Sculpting keeps Boone quite busy for good periods of time while I play with the Simselves. ^_^
Their relationship in the past is sort of a soft spot for Boone, but will come into play on the next update!
Hunt U. Down is surely not a gentleman. He'll be more involved in the future for sure. ^^
The birthday party was going well, and the lucky birthday girl enjoyed the performances put on by Luxy and myself.
There was even a chocolate fountain brought in for the occasion which we enjoyed. x)
As the party was winding down, venue owner and mixologist Malt E. Color offered us both free drinks. Then told us an important patron to the casino wanted to see us in the office.
The room was pitch black and the both of us awoke in some sort of prison cell inside of a somewhat luxuriously decorated room.
"Welcome to my new lair! How do you like it? Some of the world's finest stolen art resides here you know!"
Boone was in his full Dark Mask outfit, but we could tell he had a large grin underneath the mask for capturing us.
He stood up and walked over to the fireplace. "It has been my desire to own pieces of the world's greatest works, but what can be a greater treasure than the Sim who is able to teleport around and "fix" things? MUAHAHAHA!"
He then looked over to the side. "Queenie, are you satisfied now? Clearly I have achieved something far greater than I had ever done so before!"
"Yes! Surely you've improved Boonie!" Queenie was quite delighted at how passionate Boone was about this situation.
But Luxy had other plans!
The marriage proposal got Queenie extra excited. "Oh Boonie, maybe we'll get married someday too?"
Boone laughed at the question. "I dumped you in the past repeatedly. Do you expect me, the great Dark Mask, to settle with you?" Maniacal laughter ensued. "Please, don't even think you have a chance with me anymore! I'll use Kate's powers to shape the world into whatever I want it to be! I don't need you anymore!"
This made Queenie mad.
And so she slapped him silly.
And began to insult and mock Boone.
"Oh look at me! The Truth with my silly black mask! Follow me everyone, I want to show you how cool I am!"
And they got into a physical fight!
Boone won and knocked Queenie out. "Simple-minded woman! You cannot defeat me!"
Boone then gasped as he noticed the prison cell had become empty.
"Looking for us?"
Luxy then threw one of her old potions at the super criminal and we ran out the exit!
Well, after my Simself decided it was a good time to start blowing kisses at her fiance. x)
Boone, after the cloud of green smoke from the potion cleared, had turned into a clown!
"How insulting!"
The appearance change did not stop Boone from attempting to pursue us though! But he did run into a problem - the exit had magically disappeared! "No!" Boone shouted. And then the lights of his lair began to dim until it was pitch black.
Back at our place, Luxy and I were celebrating the engagement and escape from the clutches of the Dark Mask. I also teleported Queenie to our place.
We offered her any help if she needed it, but she refused.
"Girls, Queenie is no simple showgirl! I am best when alone in the spotlight!"
And then she showed us a bit of her singing skills as a show of her ability to take care of herself I guess. x)
"So thanks, but no thanks! I'll be taking my leave!"
As Luxy and my Simself continued our celebration, Queenie was reminded of her family. She began to look through the photos she had of her parents back in Starlight Shores which she had not visited in many years. Maybe I could use a break from this exciting life, even if for just a little bit.
After Queenie left, Luxy and my Simself got down to romanticizing. x)
He didn't really have to rush, he had a few days to kick back and relax before he'd have to get to work, and he really was tired, and very sore, but even though he sort of wanted to just go back to the house and go to sleep, he decided that this was as good a time as any to do some running around- perhaps the cold would numb him to the soreness. Besides, it was probably a good idea for him to see the town in the daylight before his work schedule made that less likely to occur.
Most of the town looked pretty much like he'd expect a small town to look, though a book store combined with a spa was an interesting partnership, that was certain.
Though there were structures he didn't really understand...he supposed this must be some sort of horse sport closed because of the weather. There were hay bails just sitting there.
The apothecary seemed to be a bit old fashioned and play off the town's superstitions by calling them elixirs and potions instead of medicines. Part of him really wanted to go inside and have a look around. Maybe later.
The place he did stop and go into was the fortune teller's caravan- he didn't want his fortune told, but based on what he'd observed from the town, he wanted to invest in it- this town was full of superstition, he'd gotten that from day one. A fortune teller here probably made good money!
Inside, there was a middle aged woman with a red skirt to the ground, and shawls and scarves and jewelery, and looking like every stereotype of gypsies he'd ever seen on tv. She was sitting at a richly adorned purple velvet covered table with a crystal ball, eating a submarine sandwich in a crinkly white wrapper. Well, at least he knew there was a fast food submarine shop somewhere in town. He felt a slight pang of annoyance at seeing the crumbs on the table cloth, it was rather ruining the effect. But he regarded all this as ridiculous anyway, so why did he care? Well, he did intend to give them money under an agreement to share in the profits, so, having crumbs ruin the effect was not a good sign of business to come, he reasoned.
She motioned to him. "We'll call it a business lunch." She said, not even faking an accent with him.
"I'm not herre forr my forrtyune tyold."
She laughed into her sandwich,"You don't say. I couldn't tell by the annoyed stares and the way you look like you might get some sort of future telling virus from me. So, really, the only reason you'd be in here is to give me money to invest in this superstitious stuff, right?"
He instantly became more comfortable, a con person had to be able to read things in a person's face expression and body language to pull of a con- he knew, he'd done it. "How much do I nyeed to pyay you to be a scharreholdyer?"
"Five hundred simoleans." She took another bite of her sandwich and chewed it thoughtfully.
He considered. He intended to be here for the foreseeable future. There literally was no where else to go, this was the last stand town, because if he left the country, he would have to escape Konstantin Petrovich, and if he left this town, he'd have to deal with the Hemlocks, who would turn him over to Konstantin Petrovich, dead or alive. He'd sort of hoped Konstantin Petrovich would have given up on him after all these years, but the close call with the Hemlocks had told him that, as he suspected, Konstantin Petrovich was still waiting. His father would have also waited- they were the same way. He wasn't the son that was being groomed to be part of the Intelligentsia, Ivan had been.
Ivan had spoken English and many other languages with no accent. When Ivan wasn't in a suit, he still moved like he was. Rafael knew, from knowing his father and his brother, what to expect. Konstantin Petrovich would not stop until one of them was dead. Rafael would get revenge or he would die, those were really his two choices, everything else was just what was happening before one of those two outcomes. Yes, ideally, he could settle down in this town and have a third stalemate option, but that only held true until something changed and dumped him into Konstantin Petrovich's lap- there was still the possibility that the tensions that had developed between Simerica and Russia would clear just enough that Konstantin Petrovich could walk up and haul him away in handcuffs to be shot "off camera". Rafael was getting into the ground floor of the criminal world here in a few days, and five hundred simoleans really wasn't that much once he really got started working for the criminal world. Yeah, he'd invest it. It might mean putting off buying a refrigerator for a little longer, but eventually, it would pay off.
She finished her sandwich, and used a napkin to wipe her mouth and her fingers then handed the wrapper off to a younger woman who walked into view, took it and walked back into the curtained off area. "You ready?"
He counted out 500 simleons and handed it over. "I'll be byack to pick up a sharre of the prrofits in a veek."
She laughed, "I bet you your first week's share of the profits that you'll be married by next week. If you are, then you'll be back for the profits in two weeks."
His mouth hung open for a moment, then he laughed. He had no intention of being married at all, and didn't even know any woman he was comfortable using the first name of, there was no way he'd be married in a week. "And if I'm not?"
"Then you'll get a double share of the profits next week."
That would be easy money. "Dyeal."
She grinned. "Pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Zolnikov."
I didn't like my plan of just commenting on two people a day. I do like this plan (inspired by Tad Olson), I'll make a simple sentence for those who've commented me, and I'll go in depth with two. Sounds more fair.
Those who've commented on my stories, will get a little response.
My in depth two are KatieTerrorFace and Colorist40. Everybody else will be a simple setence.
Page 225 TadOlson - Sandi is just adorable.
KatieTerrorFace - LOL Boone's facial expression is priceless! xD Oh wow! Queenie O. Pain is GORGEOUS! Absolutely LOVE your simself! LOVE those photos!

This is Kelli McCord she lives in starlight shores and she is going to be come a singer im really excited to start sharing her journey with you guys along with the Tanners
@Zabeth0: Awesome update! I love the portrayal of the fortune teller and the whole scene inside the 🐸🐸🐸🐸 caravan! I just disliked how EA did it as a text-based rabbit hole (Well, the career with it and being able to WooHoo in it are nice I guess lol), so this is extra special to me. ^^ Mmmm, sandwich! Now I'm hungry! lol
@Aaeiyn: Thank you thank you for the comments! Boone is definitely very scary when he's at his evilest! Back in Bridgeport, I used to have him mind control other Sims (In other words, adding the desired Sim to the household to control lol), and that was really creepy to me. x)
And perfectly fine to be on Team Queenie! I agree that she's absolutely gorgeous, and she has a fun personality too!
Both Boone and Queenie will come back in future updates! ^^
Aaeiyn-Great updates!Sandi is very cute and the family is a perfect addition to Winfield.
MayaRose1138-Hi there!
em1378-Great updates!
AiHaou-Great TS2 update!I remember those cooking contests from Free Time.I've got them installed on my old computer.Great update from TS3.I've had horses glitch inside and had to reset them.
FluorescentSoap-I save sims incase the appearance got reset while trying to recover the missing or glitched sims.
KatieTerrorFace-Great update!Thanks for the comment.Sandi was almost ready to start potty training and Ashley registered as unemployed to make sure he would be available to babysit Sandi for free while Des was at work.
LunBeauty-Thanks for the comment.
Amj1995-Great update!Thanks for the comment.Sandi got into the pet food while her parents weren't looking.
Zabeth0-Thanks for the comment.That was cute even in TS2 and I found a Mod to bring it back in TS3.Great update!
Colorist40-Great update!Shrek seems to have found he was in love with the girl he was supposed to marry.Thanks for the comments.The mod added interactions for toddlers like eating pet food,exploring,chatting with other toddlers if both learned to talk and it's been working well in my game.
IreneSwift-Sandi was too fast for them and got into the pet food before they could feed her.
I'll have my game update a little later and I had to cut most of the comments short because of our horrible hot weather.
IreneSwift: Sorry, I seem to take forever to post when I post, sorting through pics and being all fussy and stuff. So now that I'm not posting at three in the morning, I have to make sure I go back so I don't skip stuff.
Well, it was like one line in the last update where Rafael was talking to Vlad and Vlad was telling him that Konstantin couldn't get to him because it would cause an international incident. Konstantin's in something that is like the 🐸🐸🐸🐸 (which disbanded in 1991), as was Rafael's father. They were coworkers. Sorry about the confusion, but this is relatively newly revealed information.
KatieTerrorface: Wow, that man is colorful! Malt. E. Color! lol, oh, your names! Oh, Boone, you were doing just fine sculpting, and you had to come back to being this...there's that supervillian outfit again...lol Wait, did you just put people you know can teleport in a cage to keep them there? Is it made of teleport proof metal or what's the plan to keep them from just...you didn't think this through! Queenie is very pretty. What a place and time to purpose! Well, it did sow dissension in the ranks! Lol@Tragicclown Boone!
Thanks. I'm glad you didn't mind reading all that text.
Aaeiyn: Thanks. Lol- yeah, my game seems to love the snow.
TadOlson: Thanks. Yeah, and I'm pretty sure I ate dog food at least once at that age. I also ate grass, but our sims toddlers can't do that.
Zabeth0-I had to add that Mod to get my toddlers to be able to eat pet food and I did eat dog food once as a toddler.
Here's my own update from Winfield.
Des and Ashley Campbell both got up early that morning and got ready for their new day before getting Sandi up and feeding her a bottle on the floor.
Sandi decided to play with her new If doll for a while before going out to play with the logic toy.Des and Ashley were both busy learning their new skills that they both needed to learn by studying online with their iPads.
Ashley started teaching Sandi to walk and did it for a while before he had to go out to the pool to harvest honey and swin a few laps before going to the elixir shop to sell the honey to them.
SAndi was learning to talk in her playpen while Des was learning athletic skill online with the iPad.Ashley was selling honey and swimming at the time though he got ome soon after and Des got ready for bed while Ashley got Sandi ready for bed.
Des was already in bed when Sandi got taken for a bath and got put to bed before Ashley went to bed himself.
OK, you know how you get in the mood to play the Sims, but you don't really play the sims, you just sit there and start spending quite a bit time building, instead? Well, that moment happened to me, today xD I log in, and all I wanted to do was just build houses because it's a thing, right? I took screenies of the house I spent a lot of time working on. I used the cheapest furniture possible xD
Comments
Man that UI is ancient looking. I have sims 2 and seeing your game makes me want to play it, but I got a new computer 2 years ago and haven't played sims 2 since I got it, and I have heard people have trouble getting it to work since the site shut down and have issues with newer computers not recognizing it or something.
I might make the attempt though lol. You whetting my appetite for it.
Where did all those clones come from? Scary to say the least lol.
Only in the sims can you share a hot tub with a ghost and have it be the most natural thing in the world lol.
I guess all the Ariana's got ice cream lol.
Cute update.
Wow Drew is a fast worker. He knows what he wants and gets it apparently. Congrats on the third generation about to be born.
Wow it should be against the law for you, LunBeauty and Katieterrorface to have such gorgeous sims lol.
Well what kid cares about a wedding. Sure fire way to get their cooperation let them have a tablet. Of course in my day a tablet meant paper and a pen lol.
Kinerly yes you can wait. It isn't all roses you know lol.
Love that mermaid style dress.
Great wedding. France perfect place for it.
Welcome to the world little one. Glad to meet you.
Noooooo! Oh, this isn't good at all! Barthus, you're old enough to know better! Can't wait to see what happens next!

I like how she's so friendly with everyone. It's nice!
Those are some really nice artifacts!
I've caught an crocodile before, but never been there to actually see the sim caught it. It does look different. :?
That was a very beautiful wedding. She looked pretty.
LOL she is NOT going to ruin her moment with a phone call.
Did he moving in with her?
@FluorescentSoap-
Beautiful family! Happy Birthday to Emma Jay, I bet she's really pretty! Emma Jay's dad looks like some actor in real life!
@KatieTerrorFace-
LOL laughing to hard at Boone. Does that sculpture have scissor-hands?
Seems like the telescopes were for spies or creepers
Ok then you two have fun in the wardrobe.
Doesn't looks like Boone was to fond of Queenie. Haha I like her little intro-type thing! Ooow she's so sassy.
Her telescope!
Those aren't bad errands to run.
Must be a set up?! :shock:
@Zabeth-
Sun Young is so pretty! And your graphics are amazing!
Great update looks like the two are going to become the best of friends.
Oh no problem. You actually read my thread? Feels like a ghost town over there.
@em1378-
Happy Birthday to all!
Looks like Drew found a friend while in college.
Congrats to the two for becoming a thing! They look nice together!
Congrats to Drew and Cade's marriage and the new baby girl!
@ddsims-
Haha me too. This thread moves fast!
@TadOlson-
Oh wow Sandi I hope it tastes good! :shock:
Nice update!
@Aaeiyn
Caleb looks nice!
Ida and Eric looks like Wolff relatives! :-)
@Aihaou-
Did he loss? :?
Janice must've had a long day.
Nice update!
Parker decided it was time to teach Kinerly how to drive since she was heading into her senior days of high school.
Kinerly: "Mom can we just get in the car already? I know how to work a seatbelt."

Parker: "We can do this another time if you don't want to learn!"
Kinerly: "What was that about a seatbelt?"
Parker: "Mmhmm. Let's get in the car!"

Kinerly: "Ok, but try not to embarrass me."
Parker: "Only if you try not to kill me."

Parker: "Oh my goodness Kinerly. Please don't hit the little girl!"
Kinerly: "Then she better peddle faster!!"
Parker: "Kinerly!!"

I wonder what this contract is? Fiona doesn't love Shrek! What did he do?
Oooow Barthus...they got caught! :shock:
Lol thank you!! Lunbeauty and Katieterrorface do have very gorgeous sims!
Ikr most kids are just worried about the cake which they didn't even have lol.
Thank you for all the nice comments!!
@KatieTerrorFace-
You're welcome!
Thank you very much!
The great uncle of Shrek rules Ogrid currently and he is evil so the Ogres liking Barthus agreed to let Shrek marry Fiona and rule when she was of age. The contract is binding and if they break it, Shrek and Barthus will be put to death and Fiona will be at the whim of the new ruler or the old one if he isn't deposed lol. He can have her put to death as well, put her in his harem, sell her into slavery or put her in a state sanctioned brothel.
One more side note, Fiona's grandmother, a human became the ruler of a fairy world again due to their ruler being evil after she agreed to depose the evil Queen. The fairies agreed as long as she didn't have children of her own, and agreed to adopt a fairy child to raise as the next ruler. The fairies allowed her after a time to get married believing she would not have children as promised. She did wanting children of her own eventually, and tried to deceive the fairies into thinking it was her handmaiden's. She was found out by a fairy slave which hated the queen,and the fairies wanted to kill the child by giving it poison which they did. The handmaiden found out and went to a powerful witch who agreed to help. Unbeknownst to the queen or her handmaiden it would come with a price. The witch gave a potion to the queen who gave it to her child, Fiona's mother. Then she told her as punishment for deceiving the fairies, any children that the queen had would only be able to give birth to ogres, including Fiona's mother. Fiona's mother when she got older found out, and left the fairy land never having contact with her mother ever again out of anger. The grandmother finally stepped down, the fairy child took over, and no one heard from her again. Fiona was never told about her grandmother until Shrek told her about what his father said and telling her she was the granddaughter of a princess. I don't think Fiona believes it though.
Are you switching households when you play with Kate, Luxy, and Boone?
Is Boone actually changing into a decent person? I would have expected him to be a lot nastier, demanding that Queenie leave, instead of asking and saying please. I could almost feel sorry for him at this point.
That Hunt U. Down is a pretty nasty guy himself! Maybe Kate & Luxy should start torturing him!
Oh oh, somebody is being devious! Don't go girls, it's a trap!
em1378 Congratulations to all the sims with birthdays. Good luck to Drew in University. Looks like he's finding himself a romantic interest there.
Aha! So, now she's a girlfriend. I hope everything works out well for them.
Drew moves fast! Married and with a baby on the way already! And congratulations on their first daughter!
TadOlson Thank you.
I guess you have to do what you have to do! (Sandi eating dog food when Mom & Dad are too busy)
They could have fed Sandi on the floor when they got her up. It only takes a sim minute or two extra, lots less time than using the high chair. Learning skills is a good thing to do on days off from work. Just make sure they have some time to do something fun together now and then, too.
Aaeiyn No, I don't mind if you skip my updates. Even if you are reading them, it doesn't mean you have to comment on them. Your plan make sense.
Looks like love is in the air in your game!
ddsims3world I know the feeling! The thread grows so fast sometimes! It's now almost as long as the original was when it was replaced with this one.
MayaRose1138 Yes, I'll post pictures. I probably will enlarge the house a little at a time, as needed.
AiHaou Did the game actually put all those clones in your town?
Good luck to the prospective students on those tests! Looks like everybody's enjoying themselves in one way or another.
LunBeauty I have no idea who was calling that time. But the next day, they woohooed in the shower and later in bed again, and one of the other of them got a phone call just as they were getting started. I'm beginning to wonder if they're going to get a phone call every time!
Not only that, when Farid went out to get the mail, there was a gift and love letter for Alex, from a married man in town!
I wasn't thinking of celebrity disgrace when I said that about Cadence, I was referring to the reputation system. With all the guys she's woohooed with, it seems inevitable she'd have gotten a bad reputation by now.
Amj1995 Congratulations to Kostas and Niya on their wedding. The bridesmaids look very pretty. That's a very pretty wedding dress too. Very nice pictures!
Thank you. No, they don't answer the phone when it rings at a time like that! Yes, Farid did move in with her. She owns her vacation house there in Al Simhara, and he didn't have a house of his own. He lived with his mother, brother, and sister-in-law. Soon, they will be going back to her home in Sunset Valley, and later he will go with her when she travels. She owns a house in France too.
LOL! I like the teaching to drive discussion! The kids seem to get in someone else's bed at least half the time, when they're going to get read to sleep. So, Peyton seems to have found her own special someone. I hope it works out for them.
Zabeth0 Somehow I missed getting that Konstantin is a secret agent. Now I don't understand at all. Why would he kill innocent family members along with the criminal he was after? Unless, of course, this is like the 🐸🐸🐸🐸, where actual guilt or innocence isn't that important to the powers that be, just the potential of someone exercising independence of thought and action being considered a threat to the system.
Colorist40 Oh, great! Now that Shrek finally realizes he actually does love Fiona after all, she and his dad are giving in to inappropriate feelings for each other, just in time for Shrek to walk in and see it! That is not going to help matters one bit!
You're sure getting in all the drama you can aren't you?! LOL!
I still have more faults than I am happy with, too. But I'm a very different person than I used to be.
No, I am not going to play Alex and Farid again in another game. I have too many other games waiting on hold that I want to get back to, and probably just as many planned, and even set up, new games I want to start.
Thank you for your prayers.
Nah. I had three copies of that sim in my bin for some reason.
Amj1995: Very nice! The wedding was so beautiful.
em1378: Congratulations on baby Jenni.
Colorist40: Oh no! Shrek came in at the worst moment possible. But I do love the whole forbidden love aspect.
Amj1995: Cute update.
Amj: Thank you.
Haha, nope. Sculpting keeps Boone quite busy for good periods of time while I play with the Simselves. ^_^
Their relationship in the past is sort of a soft spot for Boone, but will come into play on the next update!
Hunt U. Down is surely not a gentleman. He'll be more involved in the future for sure. ^^
The birthday party was going well, and the lucky birthday girl enjoyed the performances put on by Luxy and myself.
There was even a chocolate fountain brought in for the occasion which we enjoyed. x)
As the party was winding down, venue owner and mixologist Malt E. Color offered us both free drinks. Then told us an important patron to the casino wanted to see us in the office.
The room was pitch black and the both of us awoke in some sort of prison cell inside of a somewhat luxuriously decorated room.
"Welcome to my new lair! How do you like it? Some of the world's finest stolen art resides here you know!"
Boone was in his full Dark Mask outfit, but we could tell he had a large grin underneath the mask for capturing us.
He stood up and walked over to the fireplace. "It has been my desire to own pieces of the world's greatest works, but what can be a greater treasure than the Sim who is able to teleport around and "fix" things? MUAHAHAHA!"
He then looked over to the side. "Queenie, are you satisfied now? Clearly I have achieved something far greater than I had ever done so before!"
"Yes! Surely you've improved Boonie!" Queenie was quite delighted at how passionate Boone was about this situation.
But Luxy had other plans!
The marriage proposal got Queenie extra excited. "Oh Boonie, maybe we'll get married someday too?"
Boone laughed at the question. "I dumped you in the past repeatedly. Do you expect me, the great Dark Mask, to settle with you?" Maniacal laughter ensued. "Please, don't even think you have a chance with me anymore! I'll use Kate's powers to shape the world into whatever I want it to be! I don't need you anymore!"
This made Queenie mad.
And so she slapped him silly.
And began to insult and mock Boone.
"Oh look at me! The Truth with my silly black mask! Follow me everyone, I want to show you how cool I am!"
And they got into a physical fight!
Boone won and knocked Queenie out. "Simple-minded woman! You cannot defeat me!"
Boone then gasped as he noticed the prison cell had become empty.
"Looking for us?"
Luxy then threw one of her old potions at the super criminal and we ran out the exit!
Well, after my Simself decided it was a good time to start blowing kisses at her fiance. x)
Boone, after the cloud of green smoke from the potion cleared, had turned into a clown!
"How insulting!"
The appearance change did not stop Boone from attempting to pursue us though! But he did run into a problem - the exit had magically disappeared! "No!" Boone shouted. And then the lights of his lair began to dim until it was pitch black.
Back at our place, Luxy and I were celebrating the engagement and escape from the clutches of the Dark Mask. I also teleported Queenie to our place.
We offered her any help if she needed it, but she refused.
"Girls, Queenie is no simple showgirl! I am best when alone in the spotlight!"
And then she showed us a bit of her singing skills as a show of her ability to take care of herself I guess. x)
"So thanks, but no thanks! I'll be taking my leave!"
As Luxy and my Simself continued our celebration, Queenie was reminded of her family. She began to look through the photos she had of her parents back in Starlight Shores which she had not visited in many years. Maybe I could use a break from this exciting life, even if for just a little bit.
After Queenie left, Luxy and my Simself got down to romanticizing. x)
Woohooium, it does glow! ;P
He didn't really have to rush, he had a few days to kick back and relax before he'd have to get to work, and he really was tired, and very sore, but even though he sort of wanted to just go back to the house and go to sleep, he decided that this was as good a time as any to do some running around- perhaps the cold would numb him to the soreness. Besides, it was probably a good idea for him to see the town in the daylight before his work schedule made that less likely to occur.
Most of the town looked pretty much like he'd expect a small town to look, though a book store combined with a spa was an interesting partnership, that was certain.
Though there were structures he didn't really understand...he supposed this must be some sort of horse sport closed because of the weather. There were hay bails just sitting there.
The apothecary seemed to be a bit old fashioned and play off the town's superstitions by calling them elixirs and potions instead of medicines. Part of him really wanted to go inside and have a look around. Maybe later.
The place he did stop and go into was the fortune teller's caravan- he didn't want his fortune told, but based on what he'd observed from the town, he wanted to invest in it- this town was full of superstition, he'd gotten that from day one. A fortune teller here probably made good money!
Inside, there was a middle aged woman with a red skirt to the ground, and shawls and scarves and jewelery, and looking like every stereotype of gypsies he'd ever seen on tv. She was sitting at a richly adorned purple velvet covered table with a crystal ball, eating a submarine sandwich in a crinkly white wrapper. Well, at least he knew there was a fast food submarine shop somewhere in town. He felt a slight pang of annoyance at seeing the crumbs on the table cloth, it was rather ruining the effect. But he regarded all this as ridiculous anyway, so why did he care? Well, he did intend to give them money under an agreement to share in the profits, so, having crumbs ruin the effect was not a good sign of business to come, he reasoned.
She motioned to him. "We'll call it a business lunch." She said, not even faking an accent with him.
"I'm not herre forr my forrtyune tyold."
She laughed into her sandwich,"You don't say. I couldn't tell by the annoyed stares and the way you look like you might get some sort of future telling virus from me. So, really, the only reason you'd be in here is to give me money to invest in this superstitious stuff, right?"
He instantly became more comfortable, a con person had to be able to read things in a person's face expression and body language to pull of a con- he knew, he'd done it. "How much do I nyeed to pyay you to be a scharreholdyer?"
"Five hundred simoleans." She took another bite of her sandwich and chewed it thoughtfully.
He considered. He intended to be here for the foreseeable future. There literally was no where else to go, this was the last stand town, because if he left the country, he would have to escape Konstantin Petrovich, and if he left this town, he'd have to deal with the Hemlocks, who would turn him over to Konstantin Petrovich, dead or alive. He'd sort of hoped Konstantin Petrovich would have given up on him after all these years, but the close call with the Hemlocks had told him that, as he suspected, Konstantin Petrovich was still waiting. His father would have also waited- they were the same way. He wasn't the son that was being groomed to be part of the Intelligentsia, Ivan had been.
Ivan had spoken English and many other languages with no accent. When Ivan wasn't in a suit, he still moved like he was. Rafael knew, from knowing his father and his brother, what to expect. Konstantin Petrovich would not stop until one of them was dead. Rafael would get revenge or he would die, those were really his two choices, everything else was just what was happening before one of those two outcomes. Yes, ideally, he could settle down in this town and have a third stalemate option, but that only held true until something changed and dumped him into Konstantin Petrovich's lap- there was still the possibility that the tensions that had developed between Simerica and Russia would clear just enough that Konstantin Petrovich could walk up and haul him away in handcuffs to be shot "off camera". Rafael was getting into the ground floor of the criminal world here in a few days, and five hundred simoleans really wasn't that much once he really got started working for the criminal world. Yeah, he'd invest it. It might mean putting off buying a refrigerator for a little longer, but eventually, it would pay off.
She finished her sandwich, and used a napkin to wipe her mouth and her fingers then handed the wrapper off to a younger woman who walked into view, took it and walked back into the curtained off area. "You ready?"
He counted out 500 simleons and handed it over. "I'll be byack to pick up a sharre of the prrofits in a veek."
She laughed, "I bet you your first week's share of the profits that you'll be married by next week. If you are, then you'll be back for the profits in two weeks."
His mouth hung open for a moment, then he laughed. He had no intention of being married at all, and didn't even know any woman he was comfortable using the first name of, there was no way he'd be married in a week. "And if I'm not?"
"Then you'll get a double share of the profits next week."
That would be easy money. "Dyeal."
She grinned. "Pleasure doing business with you, Mr. Zolnikov."
Those who've commented on my stories, will get a little response.
My in depth two are KatieTerrorFace and Colorist40. Everybody else will be a simple setence.

@Aaeiyn: Thank you thank you for the comments! Boone is definitely very scary when he's at his evilest! Back in Bridgeport, I used to have him mind control other Sims (In other words, adding the desired Sim to the household to control lol), and that was really creepy to me. x)
And perfectly fine to be on Team Queenie! I agree that she's absolutely gorgeous, and she has a fun personality too!
Both Boone and Queenie will come back in future updates! ^^
MayaRose1138-Hi there!
em1378-Great updates!
AiHaou-Great TS2 update!I remember those cooking contests from Free Time.I've got them installed on my old computer.Great update from TS3.I've had horses glitch inside and had to reset them.
FluorescentSoap-I save sims incase the appearance got reset while trying to recover the missing or glitched sims.
KatieTerrorFace-Great update!Thanks for the comment.Sandi was almost ready to start potty training and Ashley registered as unemployed to make sure he would be available to babysit Sandi for free while Des was at work.
LunBeauty-Thanks for the comment.
Amj1995-Great update!Thanks for the comment.Sandi got into the pet food while her parents weren't looking.
Zabeth0-Thanks for the comment.That was cute even in TS2 and I found a Mod to bring it back in TS3.Great update!
Colorist40-Great update!Shrek seems to have found he was in love with the girl he was supposed to marry.Thanks for the comments.The mod added interactions for toddlers like eating pet food,exploring,chatting with other toddlers if both learned to talk and it's been working well in my game.
IreneSwift-Sandi was too fast for them and got into the pet food before they could feed her.
I'll have my game update a little later and I had to cut most of the comments short because of our horrible hot weather.
Well, it was like one line in the last update where Rafael was talking to Vlad and Vlad was telling him that Konstantin couldn't get to him because it would cause an international incident. Konstantin's in something that is like the 🐸🐸🐸🐸 (which disbanded in 1991), as was Rafael's father. They were coworkers. Sorry about the confusion, but this is relatively newly revealed information.
KatieTerrorface: Wow, that man is colorful! Malt. E. Color! lol, oh, your names!
Thanks. I'm glad you didn't mind reading all that text.
Aaeiyn: Thanks.
TadOlson: Thanks. Yeah, and I'm pretty sure I ate dog food at least once at that age.
Here's my own update from Winfield.
Des and Ashley Campbell both got up early that morning and got ready for their new day before getting Sandi up and feeding her a bottle on the floor.
Sandi decided to play with her new If doll for a while before going out to play with the logic toy.Des and Ashley were both busy learning their new skills that they both needed to learn by studying online with their iPads.
Ashley started teaching Sandi to walk and did it for a while before he had to go out to the pool to harvest honey and swin a few laps before going to the elixir shop to sell the honey to them.
SAndi was learning to talk in her playpen while Des was learning athletic skill online with the iPad.Ashley was selling honey and swimming at the time though he got ome soon after and Des got ready for bed while Ashley got Sandi ready for bed.
Des was already in bed when Sandi got taken for a bath and got put to bed before Ashley went to bed himself.
