Bishty: I would have never imagined so many couch potato fairies who hate the outdoors, lol! Oh, the game can be quite funny sometimes!
IreneSwift: I'm not sure if it was me either, as sometimes I'll read things addressed to others...but it certainly does sound familiar. It's a fun idea. I gave a little summery of Jake's family on page 78, so you might remember reading that, way back when...lol. Well, as of yet, Jake's explanation for missing 7 years was "I must have lost track of time", so he was really fortunate that Sun Young is one of the more patient sims in the world. However, Bo and 🐸🐸🐸🐸 are still frosty towards him, and 🐸🐸🐸🐸's current hang up about doing this right is more to do with having seen the results of his father doing it wrong than anything. Which is what Kris was referencing with 'trying to atone for our father'. Jake is also trying really hard to see one of his children grow up, he's always messed it up with the others- with Bo and 🐸🐸🐸🐸 through missing 7 years, with Ramin and Kris by time travel, but so far...so far Jae has seen her father from her birth on... he's really hoping not to mess it up with her. She's going to have a birthday soon, and of course, you'll get to see what my game did to further complicate the family (as if the family wasn't crazy enough already!) soon.
Yeah, Elvin is pretty cynical. Yeah, she's basically been hoping 🐸🐸🐸🐸 would ask her out...but she's been waiting and she's starting to have her doubts.
That it is...but the witches are not in agreement over what should happen to him- some want him dead, some want him turned into an animal, some want his sentience put into an object, and some want him for themselves. This is the most impatient witch.
TadOlson: Yes, it is a dangerous house!
KatieTerrorface: Lol- yeah- send an evil and a mean-spirited sim to make a snowman, and this is what you get! The different kinds of snowmen amuse me.
There were strange, beautiful lights in the sky, not a plane...not fireworks...something else. Ramin had never seen anything like it, but he'd never seen anything like most of what was here in this time...his entire vocabulary of plants in the past was useless, nothing was the same, even the grain was strange here. But there were pretty things, and useful things that were scary at first.
There was a sound he didn't recognize, though it sounded sort of like the beds in the basement. The ones that put you into deep sleep. They were pleasant, but this was coming from the sky?
Ramin was lifted off his feet and into the air by nothing...there was nothing to grab onto, there was nothing keeping him from falling, but he wasn't falling, he was slowly being dragged into the mouth of something big and bright and scary. His yelling echoed back to him! No one below could hear him!
Ramin couldn't understand if they were trying to kill him or not, but for whatever reason, they let him go, he found himself on the ground...in bright light that fade away. He felt like a fish that had been thrown back.
When I was preparing to post the pictures of my son's simself, I noticed for the first time, that when I take pictures in stylist, it distorts the proportions. I looked at Justice's picture I had posted, and it was also out of proportion. I resized it the same as I had my son's picture, and replaced it in the earlier post. So you don't need to go back and look for it if you already saw the original, here's what Justice really looks like.
Back home in NSV, Justice built a pond and stocked it with the koi she had caught in China.
She had now built a roof over her deck to keep out the rain, so she could move her martial arts equipment there, and added a strength training machine, to save her the time it took to travel into town to work out. With the distance she had to go to get there, it took one hour each way on her bicycle.
But she also bought herself a motorcycle. It was faster than some of the more expensive cars, but cost less.
She continued her normal routine of jogging or working out each morning.
Some days, after she worked out, she would break a couple of space rocks.
She often got gems from them, which she could sell for a little extra money.
Then after breakfast, she tended to her garden. She had removed almost all of her garden plants and trees and replaced them with the higher quality ones she'd raised in China.
The morning after returning from China, after Justice had tended to her garden, she made a trip into town to sell her excess and lower quality produce at the grocery store, then went to City Hall.
She had decided that she wanted to be self-employed as a photographer.
She spent one day fishing along the beach, to work toward her goal of catching every kind of fish.
That same evening after dinner, she went around town taking pictures of some of the buildings.
After she returned home, she sold some of her photos, and was immediately promoted to level 4 in the photographer career. She could have gotten even higher, but she saved all of the photos she had that were worth over $100, to see if she could sell them at the consignment shop. The next morning, she sold another one worth $102, to get the wish for reaching level 5 out of her queue, so I could promise her the wish to visit France, for 2,250 points. She would be going there very soon. She also got a $500 bonus for reaching level 5 of the career.
Once she finished with her garden on Wednesday, she went to the consignment shop to consign her more valuable photos, then spent the rest of the day going all over town and taking more.
She took enough pictures of new things to master photography, and sold them all for enough to bring her up to level 6 in the photography career, and get a good start toward the next level.
By the end of her first day in France, Justice had found the key to the dragon cave in China. Now she would need to return to China to finish that adventure. But there were plenty of adventures to be had right here in France. She would not be leaving right away. Not only had she found the key, she had almost reached level 2 on her visa to France. If she continued adventuring here, she should be able to buy a house here before she left.
On the morning of her second day, Justice reached level 2, but it took until the fourth day to reach level 3, because there were no adventures available for her to do all afternoon and evening of the second day. So she spent her time in other ways, such as learning new recipes and making new friends.
She bought some crepes for breakfast at the food shop one morning.
On her fourth day, Justice finally reached level 3 on her visa, in the evening. She could have gotten it earlier, but she was exploring a hidden tomb she had discovered while looking for gems she had needed along the way to getting the dragon cave key, which was larger than I expected. She quit before she was finished exploring, so she could buy steaks, and then lettuce for a man who wanted to prepare a dinner. Now, he asked her to bring him some crocodile from Egypt. So, she could either turn it down, or be unable to accept any new adventures in France for the rest of her trip.
Justice now had the permission to buy a house, and more than enough money, so she accepted the opportunity to bring crocodiles from Egypt to the man. There were plenty of other things she could do in this country. She bought her house, the Poinsettia house, stopped at the cafe to buy some cooking ingredients, went home, and immediately made some stir-fry for her dinner.
Now Justice had time to jog each morning, or work out. Since there was no gym in France, she had bought a chin-up bar for her new home, for strength training.
She returned to the hidden tomb and finished exploring it. She spent the night in her tent, on the island that a dive well in the mainland part of the tomb led to. She learned that the name of the place was Tuatha's Garden, and finished her exploration the next morning.
On the last day of her stay in France, Justice went to the food shop to sell the frog and red herring she had left from fishing for frogs for an adventure opportunity, then to the relic shop, where she sold the gems and relics she'd collected from Tuatha's Garden, that she'd explored the previous day. Some of them were expensive collectibles she'd found duplicates of, and her total income from her sales to the relic merchant was over $16,000.
She also needed to buy two shelving units for the collectible relics she had gathered on this trip.
Now she was free to work on her photo collections. She got a picture of the market, and of a hydrangea in the town square. She went to the nectary, but when she took a picture of it, it was labeled hotspot. But she did get pictures of 3 different varieties of grape vines. Then, while she was there, she decided to explore the basement of the nectary.
After exploring the basement of the nectary, Justice had more gems, which she sold to the relics merchant for over $2600. Then she packed for her trip home.
KatieTerrorFace-I do find it funny when they try to get away with eating spoiled food when you told them to trow it out.
Zabeth0-I think the real danger could be from the run down state of the house and it would be wise to set up another house for your sim to move into.
IreneSwift-Great updates!Your sims is having a lot of fun and enjoying adventures.
simlish1-Great pictures!
Here's my own update and it's late because I suddenly felt lousy and had to get to bed for a while to rest.
I got a few things moved around in the library to set it up for a major upgrade.
Here are two walkers I added to the main floor for toddlers.
Here's the other upgrade I made to the main floor to test out a new Mod.
Zabeth0 I know, I also once had a werewolf roll hates the outdoors but I did cheat and get rid of that because otherwise he would have peed in the house :P It's odd thinking of a couch potato fairy but then it's also bizarre watching them on the treadmill because you're like well they have wings :P Aaeiyn I like fairies too, I think they're my favourite supernatural type TadOlson Thank you IreneSwift You're welcome Your sim reminds me of one I had a long time ago when I only had WA who I made specifically to be eaten by a mummy but she wasn't and then I fell in love with her and we travelled the world and made collections :P Unfortunately I lost that game due to a Blue Screen of Death
I like medium sized families best, so ideally it would just be the 4 Killies. This family lags HORRIBLY because they're so huge and it caused a Blue Screen last night sadly so I made no progress lol but I also like their dynamic so I kept them together. At one point there were loads more sims also living with them because I created the house of 7 friends and then as they started to fragment loads went to live with Marigold but gradually they all left except those two.
I think Theo is surprisingly cute too considering neither of his parents are (were) gems :P Letitia looks *exactly* like her mother aged up except with dark hair. Literally.
I never played this apartment before but there was only one space left in the world where a flat would fit so I picked that one because it's the prettiest. I'm toying with the idea of adding in new houses to all the empty 30x20 lots because nothing useful is going to fit there. What do you think? :P
Thank you for all the comments/welcome, I think I'd like to join in playing and sharing
IreneSwift I love the detail in your story :P I was actually pretty psyched that the maid did the laundry when he first came :O But I don't think he ever did it again
Colorist40 your story is hilarious
So basically this is my active family this sim week
I'm playing in Isla Paradiso but I started in Moonlight Falls (hence the name). In this family we have Marigold Maldano, the premade
her son Theo (short for Theophilus) Goodfellow, a fairy (father Pip, now dead) traits are couch potato, hates the outdoors and grumpy
and her daughter Letitia MacDuff, a fairy (father Jules) traits are couch potato and hates the outdoors (totally random I swear, it's weird :P )
Living with them are my own sims, the Killie family. They started out as a group of 7 college buddies but Nina and Brandon got married and decided to sponge off of Marigold. They have two sons.
This is Brandon Killie, a witch traits are slob (academic), inappropriate (social group), couch potato, hates the outdoors (maybe it's in the water...), handy, childish and computer whiz. He works as a character modeler in the video game developer career and has a degree in technology.
This is Nina Killie, a genie traits are great kisser, virtuoso, artistic, snob, ambitious and diva. She is a haute hot shot in the stylist career and has a degree in fine arts.
This is Herman Killie, a genie traits are insane, heavy sleeper and frugal. He has a living imaginary friend called Buddy
This is Siegfried Killie, a genie-witch hybrid traits are loves the cold and heavy sleeper (at least things tend to run in families eh?) and has an imaginary friend doll called Roy. (Maybe next generation I'll do Jekyll and Hyde :P )
They also have a dog Tigger traits are neat, non-destructive, genius, friendly and hunter
and are taking care of Sophie Rodgers because it is the belief of the government that a fairy should have a fairy upbringing I added the trait photographer's eye
They live in this flat which I expanded and placed in the world
The random bloke standing there is based on my irl friend who I will refer to as O to respect his privacy. Brandon invited him over last night to play chess and he just decided to stay the night in the rocking chair lol. Currently they are all sleeping except Siegfried, who decided to sit up and watch his parents sleep o.O
I also just bought a toy oven for the children
I'll post if anything interesting happens
Cool I know I have seen you on here before, but would love to see you become a regular poster. Welcome and thank you for your comments on others games.
Marigold for a premade is pretty, but she sure has a look like don't tee me off lol, or you will be sorry ha ha ha.
Theo looks kind of sad did his dad die recently? Poor thing to be fatherless at such a tender age.
Youch those traits don't forbode a good ending for poor Theophilus lol
Wow I think the game senses since they are related and gives them the same traits lol.
Being newlyweds and not having a lot, I don't blame them for getting a hand up, but I hope they don't intend to sponge the rest of their days.
Brandon is one handsome dude, but he could do better on the dressing part lol.
Wow there goes my related in game trait theory. In the water the best explanation lol I could come up with lol. Better start making tea with bottled water or some other form of liquid sustenance lol.
Nina has a flair about her. Maybe it is her style she is so good at. She looks great. I love that dress on her.
Finally some different traits lol.
Wow a genie child without the genie skin. Seems like all my genies have blue skin no matter what kind their spouse has.
You are cute for sure Herman.
Oh oh the insane trait. You better learn how to control yourself.
I had to laugh that even though you randomize traits the computer gives them similar traits in some areas. Love it. I should randomize more, but some traits I hate like the photography one for instance.
AWWWW "heart melts" Tigger is soooooo cute.
Dog got the best traits out of the whole house
I posted that thing about photographers eye before reading that you added that trait I swear . What are the odds I post one of the random traits out of like 10 I don't like so much and you add it to one of your sims.
Sophie glad someone wanted you. I hope they didn't force her to live there.
Your flat is nice, but seems a little squishy for all those sims of yours.
Cool I love when people make sims based on real life friends and relatives, as I am not good at it, and not comfortable having real life people in game that I know lol.
Please post interesting or not. Sometimes you might think something wouldn't be interesting, and to others they would find it so. Don't be afraid to just post everyday sim events.
Narrator: I have recovered from my little accident of the other day and am ready to continue telling the story of Ashleigh and Shelby. As stated Shelby had just moved in with Ashleigh and frankly I am surprised they haven't killed each other yet.
Shelby flippantly: Well give me time. A girl even of my superior brains and brawn can't do everything in one day.
Narrator: Ahem! Like I was saying Shelby had already let all her old pals and acquaintances know where her new pad was, so that she could continue her party life style. Saying Ashleigh ain't going to like it would be a severe understatement.
Shelby: Like I care what ole stick in the mud thinks! If she had been the only woman on this earth with a guy, the human race never would have existed, the prude.
Ashleigh: Just because your backside has a sign posted open twenty four hours doesn't mean I am a prude.
Shelby: Just because yours is frozen shut, and any one who gets near it would have vital body parts frozen within seconds doesn't...
Narrator: Stop you two! Let us proceed with the story shall we?
Shelby shrugging: Why not? After all everybody should know the awesomeness that is known as me.
Narrator: The doorbell is ringing Shelby. Don't you think you should answer it.
Shelby saw Janice her best friend: Hey Janice. How's it be?
Janice: Hey Shelby. I am fine.
Shelby: It seems like I haven't seen you in forever.
Janice: You haven't. The last time I saw you was a week ago. I never want to have to go that long again not seeing you. It was horrible.
Shelby reassuringly: It won't happen again, I promise. Come on in to my new pad. It ain't much, but you can help me redecorate the dump.
Janice: I am sure your sister's place is just lovely.
Shelby: Awww Janice you are just too nice for your own good
Ashleigh glared at Shelby as Janice walked by.
Janice saw the look on Ashleigh's face and wondered what her problem was. She seemed to resent her being there or did she? Well she wasn't going to stop seeing Shelby just because her sister seemed to have a problem. How trying this must be for Shelby she thought.
Ashleigh resented her home being invaded by her sister who she felt obligated to help out, as her father had instilled in her, that in spite of your problems with family, they are your blood and you needed to watch out for and help them. She was already feeling put upon, but she was darned if her sister was going to make this into a hang out pad for her whacked out hippie friends.
Janice: What is your sister's problem?
Shelby shrugging: Who knows? Just ignore the witch.
While it is true both sisters are really witches; she didn't mean it as a descriptive word of respect.
Shelby: Hey girlfriend, I met a guy. His name is Ning Shui. He is a dream boat. He is about the most perfect man ever. He just moved in about a month ago with the Landgraabs. He is good friends with their daughter. He came looking for a new start after breaking up with his wife Grace.
Janice: Ohhh do I sense a romance between you and Ning Shui?
Shelby: You betcha. He is mine and I ain't gonna let anyone have him. He is just crazy about me. I know it, after all who after seeing me wouldn't be?
Janice: He sounds awesome. I can't wait to meet him. I hope you can arrange an introduction.
Shelby: Sure maybe sometime. I will let you know.
Truth be known Shelby didn't want anybody meeting Ning Shui. She wasn't going to let anybody half way attractive get near him. He was hers and nobody was going to keep them apart.
Narrator: This is the object of Shelby's obsess.... I mean affections. Ning Shui, who due to being a rebel, decided he wanted a different life, divorced his wife Grace, and moved to Sunset Valley. He is living with the Landgraabs until he can find a job and a place of his own. If Ning only knew what was in store for him, he would run far, far away, get plastic surgery and change his name. Poor Ning Shui, but I digress.
Ashleigh was really annoyed now. Shelby only being in town about a week,although it seemed like she had been there a year, already had a boyfriend? Oh great, life was just getting better and better.
Ashleigh: Shelby, I always knew you moved fast, but seriously?
Shelby: I can't help it I am irresistible. Just because you have a talent for turning off any man within a 100 mile radius around you, doesn't mean that I should have to suffer and live like I am in a convent.
Ashleigh: Just make sure you keep him away from me.
Shelby silently to herself: No need to worry about that dear. You will never meet him if I have anything to say about it and I do.
Narrator: What will the future hold for these girls? What will be Ning Shui's fate? Tune in next time to find out.
Colorist40 Thanks for the welcome I always get so involved in my crazy crazy game but I love to hear about other people's because they're almost always completely different and something I would never think of. I guess I'm quite boring in that respect, all my games seem to take the same sort of direction
- I didn't used to like Marigold but now I've warmed to her. I don't know if it's just me but she looks like Haley Sumari (I may be able to dig up a comparison picture :P )
- Not that recently, about 3/4 in-game years ago? Although I think he does still feel sad about it. He has (as well as Letitia) 4 half-sisters and brother whose mother is Dahlia (Fawn, the premade, and triplets (my first natural triplets ) Daniel, Sabrina and Honour) and I think he feels like he doesn't really fit in with them or with anyone. Having said that, he doesn't exactly try to fit in. He's too lazy and doesn't like people :P So he's sort of in life limbo at the moment :P
- They're not exactly newlyweds, considering that Herman is about 6 years old and they were married for a while before him :P The sponging lifestyle suits them and they're too selfish to think about the effect it might have on Marigold and her family or even really their own children. You'd think such unpleasant people would never have a successful marriage; but in their own twisted sort of way, Brandon and Nina are one of the happiest couples in the town. They suit each other and I suppose that's the bottom line :P
- I actually consider Brandon one of my best sims because everything expresses something about his character. His clothes express the laziness, the slobbiness but also (like for example the rip in the jeans) that he likes to fiddle around with bits of metal and invent stuff
- It's kind of funny actually, I spend very little time on my appearance in real life but I'll happily spend hours and hours making my sims beautiful and perfect :P If Nina was real she'd love those comments :P
- He sort of has genie skin but it's a pale sickly blue. For some reason I always think he would be sticky to touch :P He's hilarious though, he stood and talked to the fridge for like an entire day. Even his imaginary friend was weirded out :P
- Tigger is a sweet dog :P He's actually called Tigger Torborg because that was Nina's maiden name and I think that's a great name
- I don't mind it but I don't really like photography on the whole. It's just not my thing :P
- I've got Twallan's SP and she got moved as a toddler because Linda nearly died so then I made up the story about having to live with a fairy, although to be fair that does make sense
- The kitchen is a routing nightmare but the rest of it is OK actually. Good job there's two bathrooms though :P
- I made O for two reasons: firstly because he really is a good friend and has taken care of me for a long time (and babysat my hamster :P) and secondly because he wants to be a writer in real life as well and I like the quite-bookish typecast of sim so in he went :P
- I was going to post yesterday but my computer Blue Screened just before I saved (I save every sim day at 7am) but I'll try again soon :P
I'm in a sort of similar position to your sims actually. My sister has just moved in with me (well my mother but I still live here too) and oh, it's annoying! I can empathise with both sisters. I think Ashleigh is being a bit harsh on her sister but Shelby clearly has some self-esteem issues so neither of them are all good or bad. Ashleigh's expressions are priceless though
Zabeth0 After reading your summary, I figured that was what Kris was referring to with the “atone for our father” comment.
Aha! I'll bet it's the little green alien baby you showed us awhile ago that's going to complicate the family dynamics more.
Since 🐸🐸🐸🐸 is waiting for his parents before he'll make his move toward Cindy, I hope they don't dilly dally around too long.
Oh no! Ramin is the one the aliens got! Of all people! He's already struggling to make sense of the present world, now he's going to have to deal with this! Poor guy!
simlish1 Nice pictures!
TadOlson I hope you felt better after your rest. What mod are you trying out now?
bishty You seem to have a lot of blue screen errors. Are you using an older OS?
I didn't think mummies ate sims. I thought they only knocked them out and cursed them. Justice is carrying mummy snacks now, so no more getting beat up.
What world are you playing with? I do add houses when my towns get filled up and the townies run out of houses to move into when they marry or grow up. If you have lots, and things are getting crowded, I'd definitely add more houses. You can then move some of them with Edit Town, or if you have NRaas mods, Master Controller will do it a little more easily in live mode. It won't transfer their funds with them, but you can also give them more money with MC once they're moved.
IreneSwift: Very nice Koi pond. That's where I imagined it going. Martial arts on the deck just seems to work. But yeah, it needed that roof! Very nice. Motorcycle seems to fit. Improving her skill and selling extra gems, that's a win win situation. Yeah, at a certain point, it's just better to replant them, you perfect things much faster. That's a good job for an adventurer! Yep, coming right along in her career!
So, she got her house after all! Yeah, that bar is a very nice compact bit of athletic equipment. That was a nice haul on relics.
Oh, good you remembered the happy green baby! Yep, that's Sun Young's first grandchild and a shock to everyone since none of her children were even married yet. Yeah, poor Ramin- when the aliens show you you can't pick who checks it out, the game already picked someone and sent them outside by the time the aliens are there...so it was Ramin.
Simlish: Quite pretty photos.
TadOlson: Lol, well, in it's current state, it's basically a room that has a bathroom, it has no kitchen and the bed is right up against the fireplace... so not exactly inviting. But not to worry, no one lives there long lol.
Bishty: Lol- yeah, that would be weird! Well, yeah, or fairies using jet packs.
IreneSwift The Blue Screen with my older sim I mentioned (she was called Seshru) was on my old computer but this one is fairly new. I'm so non-techy but it's windows 7 and has 8 gbs of RAM and the graphics card sucks and that's pretty much all I know :P This family has always had major lag issues but last night I tried to send Nina to a dance club and the graphics went mental and it started flashing white and yellow and stuff and then bye bye computer It's never happened before but I'm not too worried... or should I be? :S
Nah they don't literally eat them but I wanted Ses to get cursed and then die so I could experience that death, which I still never have :P
I'm playing in Isla Paradiso right now but with all the sims from Moonlight Falls, where I started (except the dead ones). There are also a lot of empty ports but I can't even build on the land let alone the sea. Do people make custom houseboats? I think I will add some new houses, at least it will get it off my mind :P
Justice arrived home from France mid-afternoon on Thursday. The first thing she did was to plant the life fruit she'd found in the garden tomb, and the 6 varieties of grapes she'd harvested there.
I decided it was time to build Justice a basement. Although she doesn't drink, she is saving all the nectar she collects in her exploration, because some adventures she will accept later require that she supply nectar for someone. Nectar is supposed to keep better in a basement. Besides for this, there is no place else to keep her large relics she reconstructs from fragments she collects on her tips abroad.
I wasn't happy to have to put the stairs in like this. I was hoping to build walls around it, but couldn't build them connected to the side of the house without a foundation. The best I could do for now was to extend the roof to cover it. I'll probably move the basement later, and build a small shed-like structure over it.
Justice had enough fragments now to reconstruct a pushable statue, so she went to the basement to put it together, since that was where it would be kept.
Back upstairs, she phoned her friend Judy Bunch, and told her all about her trip to France.
Finally, for a quiet, relaxing end to the day, she practised on her piano. This is a hobby she took up during her last trip to China. I thought I had gotten a screenshot, but I didn't.
Friday began Justice's usual morning jog.
It started raining when Justice was almost back home from jogging. By the time she finished her breakfast of fruit parfait, it had stopped, so she went right out to tend to the garden.
She checked the mail afterward, and found another love letter from Geoffrey Landgraab. Ugh!
It was Leisure Day, so after her shower, Justice decided to take the rest of the day off, forget about building skills or upgrading things, and just have some fun. She started by challenging Victoria Andrews to a water balloon fight. I'm not sure who won, or if anybody did, but she didn't care. It was just for fun.
Next, she had a soccer shootout with her best friend, Judy Bunch.
Judy didn't even try to catch any of the balls Justice kicked to her, so hoping for more of a challenge, Justice called the next ranking soccer competitor to come. Parker Langerak missed every ball she kicked to him too, but at least he seemed to be trying.
Justice wanted to get in some skating before leaving, so although it was starting to get dark, she headed for the rink. She's now skilled enough to spin.
She bought some food from one of the vendors and ate it in the park before going home.
She also redeemed some of her festival tickets to buy herself a roller skating rink and soccer goal. She hadn't been able to skate when she'd first wanted to that afternoon, because the rink was full, so it would be nice to have her own rink at home. There was no room in her yard for either item, but that was not a problem. She had much more than enough money now to buy a house in Egypt the next time she went there. So she bought the vacant lot across the road from her house, and put her new outdoor equipment there.
She also decided it was time to get a computer. She bought a narrower bookcase, so she could move it to a different location, and put her new desk and desk chair where the bookcase had been. She bought a laptop, so that she will be able to take it with her when she travels, if she wants to.
Since Justice is an observer of the seventh-day Sabbath, like her creator, she took Saturday off too. After her morning jog, she broke a couple of space rocks, tended to her garden, showered, and ate her breakfast.
Back home for dinner, she made a single serving of stu surprise. Since she has a little more time to cook while she's at home, it will help her gain skill faster to make single servings rather than group servings to eat all week.
Justice stayed home longer this time than she usually did between trips. She wanted to stay at least until the new produce from France that she'd planted had produced a few days' harvest. She also wanted to get her cooking skill up, so she could learn the rest of the recipes she'd bought in France.
Sunday began as usual. Working out,
Practising marital arts,
Preparing breakfast...
While Justice ate her breakfast, she got a call from Geoffrey Landgraab, asking her to prepare a meal for him, which he would pay her for. Justice doesn't trust him, and this just sounded like a ruse to get face to face with her in hopes of pressuring her to accept his lecherous advances. She didn't bother to be polite as she refused.
Next, tending the garden.
Justice had been told that there was an online dating site for the town, and that sometimes newcomers were given a profile on the site, without asking for one. She was no longer a newcomer, but she had not heard of it before, and if she had a profile on such a site, she wanted to know about it! So, now that she had a computer, she decided to visit the site and find out. There was a profile there for her. There were also a lot of messages from men. One of them, who suggested she tell him about her interesting name while they made out, was quite offensive to her, so she deleted that one immediately. She checked the profiles of the others who had messaged her, and some of them didn't sound like anyone she wanted to be involved with. Besides that, she knew enough about some of these men to know that they had been married. She hadn't been around enough lately to know whether they still were, but she knew how to find out.
Sure enough, most of them were married. And of those who weren't, their profiles suggested there was good reason for that, and she wasn't any more interested in them than other women had been. After she finished her research, she deleted all of the messages without replying to them, and her own profile, which she had not put there in the first place.
She spent the rest of the day learning new recipes, then prepared hamburgers for her dinner.
She ended the day with a phone call to a friend in China.
The next couple of days went much the same. By Monday morning, the new French grapes and life fruit were ready for harvest.
She prepared eggs Machiavellian for breakfast.
She learned the recipe for cheesesteak that afternoon, then prepared it for her dinner.
Tuesday followed the same pattern of jogging, gardening, cooking, and working on skills. Unfortunately, Geoffrey Landgraab either called or wrote, or both, every day that she was home.
Wednesday morning was the same as usual, but after the morning tasks were finished, Justice cleaned up, took out the trash,
went to town to sell her produce,
then returned home, packed, and called a cab to take her to the airport for her flight to China.
When Justice got home from jogging that morning, she wished to travel to China – great timing, as this was the day I planned for her to go anyway. So she got those 2,000+ points as a bonus.
bishty-I hope your game dosen't get messed up again like so many of mine would before I started with NRaas Mods.I think you might need another computer with a dedicated graphics card and with Windows 7 for TS3.I would check the fan and see if you can upgrade the graphics card.
Colorist40-Great update!It looks like they aren't getting along very well at all.
IreneSwift-I'm trying out both an auto roof disabler and build/buy restrictions choker to be able to build base camps more easily.Great updates!I must've still been sick from the heat and wasn't recovered yet.
Zabeth0-I know about having houses that small because I've made a few tiny like that as starter homes.
KatieTerrorFace-Thanks for the comment.
I'll have an update ready a little later.
Anyway I've started doing the runaway teen challenge. I did it once before and it was fun. This sim was created when playing with genetics and I saved her to the bin to use in the challenge. But I thought one sim was too easy so I added more than one. The second I added was one of the pre-generated sims.
This is Emiri. The sim generated.
This is Andrea the premade sim.
I made them a backstory. I'll post it on somewhere else because it might upset some.
AiHaou-That story looks great and would be interesting since it looks like it's about nine or ten year old kids.
Here's my own update and it's more of what I did in Glen Harbor.
Cory and Angel Frankovitch were up a little later than usual on that late winter morning and they got themselves breakfast and got ready for the day quickly.The letter carrier dropped off the bills they would have to pay soon and Cory decided to get out there and pay those bills.
She had to throw out the old newspaper before paying the bills.
They both decided to spend some time studying skills online with their iPads to learn new skills.
They both went to the pool at about 4PM and enjoyed swimming though Cory was actually harvesting honey and planning to sell it at the elixir shop.
They both got home and got themselves into bed by 8PM.
Woman: "You know, there doesn't seem to be anyone around...and I've got this bag of marshmallows that need roasting up, so how about it, Purple straps, you hungry?"
Rafael: "I vish you vell on yourr marrschmallow rroastink. I nyeed to go rryest up frrom vastink all my enyerrgy." He said. He was quite cold and the idea of sitting by a nice warm fire, roasting marshmallows was horribly appealing, and that was why he had to go. He needed to go home even though he was dreading it, and he needed to not learn this woman's name, and he needed to never see her again. She was disturbingly beautiful and her freckles were like stars on her face, and she was dangerous.
Woman: She laughed. "Well, okay, then, Twinkle-toes. I'll see you later."
He didn't know for certain that there was anything to be worried about, logic told him that there wasn't- that they wouldn't give him a job and attack him before he showed up the first day. After he'd been working there, they could easily turn on him; the Hemlocks had. But right now they had nothing to go on, right?
However, he retrieved some wire and rigged up a simple trap on the door. He told himself he was being paranoid, but he trapped the door anyway, just in case. Better to be on the safe side, perhaps the criminal network itself was okay with him, and that thug was bearing a grudge, he wouldn't know unless someone tried something. With his luck, someone would. But with the trap on the door, he felt better. Maybe he'd be able to sleep. The cold had really helped the soreness.
Ah, yes, nice, comforting, warm, deep sleep....
What kind of crazy dream was this?
He seemed to be dreaming he was in some sort of underground library. There was a light around him- strange and crackling with power. More supernatural superstitions bleeding into his dreams, most likely.
It was odd to be dreaming about someone he just met, usually dreams lagged more than that.
The weightless feeling left, and his bare feet felt cold stone under him. Quite suddenly, he realized that had been shock, not a dream; this was real! But how could it be?
This was off course the moment that his mind decided to string together every instance of a flash of too bright eyes or a side view of too sharp teeth from Vladimir and the Hemlock's and drop them on him like a string of fireworks in his brain. His mind may have been trying to batter down the denial to save him, but it overwhelmed him instead.
Rafael: "Vhat's goink on? Vherre am I?"
Woman: "I summoned you to my basement, you know, magically. Being that I'm a witch, I can totally do that. I didn't even think that I'd be catching you in your pajamas! Pity I didn't catch you in the shower, Twinkle-toes."
Rafael: All this magic stuff was real...it was overwhelming...but he had to get his mind working because the point of Miss Wynn's talk with him was that a witch was going to kill him for being in that house. "Dyeedyee Dyeedyee Dyeedyee." He said as quickly as he could...but nothing happened.
Woman: She laughed at him. "It's magically shielded, she can't hear you! Even if you weren't mangling her name all palatalized like that."
Rafael: "I suppyose you arre goink to kyill me now?"
Woman: "That was my original plan, I kind of thought it would be cool to kill you in front of Deedee, since she wants to save you so bad. She is my nemesis, after all. But you kind of won me over with the jammies."
Rafael: He hoped she didn't realize he was walking towards her- he didn't know what he could do, but he did know he was physically stronger than her and he hoped he could close the distance before she could harm him- if it was a gun or a knife he'd have a good chance, but he didn't know anything about magic, however, she had a wand in her hand and maybe if he could wrestle it away she couldn't harm him? But hadn't she summoned him without the wand? Maybe if he covered her mouth?
Rafael: As he got closer and closer his muscles became less responsive, as though he was trying to walk through superglue.
Woman: She was casting a spell, her voice pronouncing syllables he didn't know, and magic arcing around in the air, like static electricity before a lightning strike.
Maya: Sometimes when you time travel, you're stuck with where you end up until the time window happens- this happened to Jake and Sun Young and the time window arrived right after he was born but before they picked him up. Kris was raised in a resource depleted future with roving death squads- it was not a nice future. However, his time frame had an ideology that made sense of this. Which is why he's not ready to date yet.
Okay, that makes sense. So he has to deal with that, and now poor Ramin has to cope with being abducted by aliens! If he ends up pregnant, that is going to be very interesting Btw, very good pics of the snowboarding action - it's amazing how good pics can be in this game
Oh no! Hot headed is very hard to deal with! They just start yelling for no reason. (Like my caveman who is going to get a trait change really soon to reflect his new understanding). Tristan Stud Muffin! lol He sure looks familiar! lol. I do love seeing sims in alternate universes lol. (Like Jel E. Bean), nice to see LunBeauty's creations in their various lives. I still have no idea why the homework sometimes takes place at a table and sometimes the floor... I just have to chalk it up to the strange sims logic. Cute love day. lol @ Easter's expression!
Hawk is going to have an interesting time then. Just as well I haven't made his twin sister insane yet LunBeauty's sims are just gorgeous, it's a pleasure having them in my game! It would be understandable if the sims did their homework on the floor if there was no room at the table but I made sure I had plenty of chairs! I love trying to catch the sims' expressions in CAS but I'm usually not quick enough
MayaRose1138-Great updates!I told you about the Mod because it's saved my glitched plants a few times and saved a few invisible sims when a stray dog got stuck underground.
Thank you I haven't downloaded the Mod yet but I've bookmarked the page for when I'm ready. Although I'm wondering whether the whole lot of games might be glitched as I was playing in a new game over the weekend and there was an invisible sim on that. I could see the 'zzzz's where it was sleeping but I have no idea who it was!!
Well just because he is hot headed doesn't mean he still isn't adorable lol. He will just have to try not to lose his temper so often. I have a temper so I know it is hard lol.
Ivory the purple fairy. Hooray I love her looks. Seriously I think if we all could wear purple, have purple hair, eyes and skin I would be in Heaven lol.
I'll try and keep him busy so that he doesn't lose it too often It would be a very interesting sight to see people who were purple all over but maybe you could start a new trend
I wish playing with blocks in real life would make a person learn how to be handy as I am the antithesis of handiness lol.
Looks like Tristan is going to be a donor to add to her family lol. Good choice. Who wouldn't find Autumn attractive with her red hair and that low cut dress and rocking body.
Resembles Johnny Depp for sure lucky Autumn lol.
I was trying to work out who Tristan reminded me of and that's who it was!! No wonder I was dreaming about Johnny Depp the other night (no, it wasn't *that* kind of dream - for some reason, he was on the MasterChef tv show!!)
When Autumn's bubble came up with that image, it was just like she was thinking "oh yes, he'll do nicely to add to my family"
I love when they do autonomous romantic actions.
Love that pink bed in a red room. Somehow although it seems like those two colors should clash it seems to fit.
Lol that sucks to have a procreation elixir and not use it. You know there is a lifetime reward called fertility that you can get for 10,000 lifetime reward points right?
Thank you (re the bed). I think there are some kinds of reds and pinks that actually go well together and it seems that I might have found one combination
Yes, I give all my sims that LTR (most of the time before they try for a baby ) That's about the only reason I cheat to get LTR's. But like the Rainbow game, I can't seem to get multiple births after the household reaches eight sims. Which means that if I want any more girls, I either have to cheat or wait until a few of the older kids leave.
Awww Blossom looks so adorable in the ballerina outfit.
Seems like Easter happy with her hairstyle in that pic.
Yeah like we were blown away that the love tester showed Autumn being passionate lol. We never ever would have guessed that
Yes, Easter does seem extremely happy, doesn't she? Maybe I should have let her keep the hairstyle since she is eccentric
Can't wait to see the baby. I think it is nice that Daisy looks different from her mother. You wouldn't want all clones of the mother with all those gorgeous dad genetics lol.
I like the makeovers, but you should have let Easter keep the same hair as she would really be a clone of her mother then lol.
I love it when sims go to festivals. I usually tell them what to do, but it is nice that when you don't to see what each sim in the family picks to do. That shows their personality while some do athletic things others pick up eggs etc. So much fun.
Maybe Easter will change her hairstyle partway through her teen years if she has a whim to imitate her mother So far, four out of the five teens resemble Autumn, but none of the others do as far as I can tell (I've peeked )
I was trying to get the second lot of sims to the photobooth so I let the others do what they like. It was fun discovering what they were doing when I paid attention to them
Btw, I've read your Trouble with Sisters story on the blog and I enjoy your writing style for it! It's like what you did with the Roaring Heights story. Are you still playing that game?
Freya with that color hair is stunning and exotic looking.
Yeah I know it is trick or treating, but anybody who would show up dressed as Freddy Krueger is a like no way in heck you getting near any of my family members lol.
Jaguar is a doll.
Thanks! I don't know what the trick-or-treater was doing there considering it was Spring! Jaguar is cute, isn't he?
MayaRose1138: Hawk is such a nice name and a very cute boy! He'll be very handsome when he grows up I bet. Great pics!
Thank you! Yes, Hawk will grow up very nicely. I just hope he can deal with his anger management issues
In recent news, Jackson decided to give his stylist uniform a revamp... I think he really wanted to get his mind elsewhere and off LBell for a change, as he had been heartbroken of her death.
Thank you for all the comments/welcome, I think I'd like to join in playing and sharing
Welcome to the community (yes, I'm a bit late but anyway...)! You look like you've got an interesting family there, with a mix of supernaturals. Please feel free to post anything because even if you don't think it's interesting, others might
MayaRose1138 Ivory is very pretty. I like her hairsyle. Is it from the store, or CC?
Daisy and Easter are very pretty too. For being twins, they certainly look different. I liked the hair they had at first better.
Jaguar is very cute.
Ivory's hair is from Island Paradise, which was a surprise to me because I had looked everywhere for braids like that! I would have got Island Paradise sooner if I had realised that
Daisy and Easter certainly take after one parent each, which is really interesting. I didn't keep them with their first hairstyles because of it being Autumn's - if all the teens had that style, it would get very confusing
Yes, Jaguar is very cute. A lot of the toddlers have the same kind of face but sometimes some are just cuter than others
Over the weekend, I played a new game to experiment with mermaids and plant sims. I used Ivory from the Alphabet game and aged her into a young adult, and married her to a sim from CAS. This is a game that I tried to start in Isla Paradiso but it kept freezing whenever they had kids, so I restarted it in Twinbrook. I have now shifted it back to Isla Paradiso but am undecided whether I want to continue the game or just use the sims for other games.
Ivory:
Nelson:
I gave Nelson the Mermaid Kelp to eat straight away and then the Permanent Mermaid LTR's so that he would remain a mermaid despite not living near the beach. I didn't recolour his scales because I like that turquoise colour.
Ivory levelled up to 10 in Science and managed to transform a Kona Bean seed into a Forbidden Fruit one and gave it to her husband Nelson to plant, who had levelled up to level 7 in gardening by reading books. While they were waiting for the plant to grow, they wished to have a child, so I granted that wish
Meet the triplets:
Callum: (mother's hair and life state, father's eyes)
Cadence: (father's hair and life state, mother's eyes) I love her pink scales!
Brielle: (father's hair and eyes, mother's life state)
The parents shared the duties of teaching their kids the necessary skills:
The triplets then proceeded to play with various things.
Brielle seems to be almost angry at the xylophone, while Cadence is saying to her brother "why are you eating that?"
Playing with the blocks.
The first Forbidden Fruit plant didn't work so Ivory had to make another seed. The second plant was much more successful.
This is Leaf, who - if it works with the mods - will be Autumn's genetic donor for her 'P' baby (unless he takes after Ivory rather than Nelson and then that will be 'ew' because it will be like Autumn's grandchild!)
IreneSwift: Awesome, I love basements. Added space is very helpful in small houses. The relics look nice from more elaborate to less elaborate like that. Yeah, I've done that shed thing with many houses because I don't like open stairs either, and I can't attach them to the house if there is a foundation... The garden is coming right along. Judy looks like she is having fun, but I can understand getting a harder match for sport. Nice- great to have extra space for the big stuff. There are just sometimes it's just really handy to have a computer in your inventory!
Yeah, that does sound like a rich guy trap! I surely wouldn't go! Oh, she's got a money tree! Oh, ouch, that's very rude of the town, setting up dating profiles for people who don't even know their way around town yet, or that this is happening and without their consent! Good thing shutting that down. That garden looks moutwhateringly good now. Wow, he's probably going to annoy her out of the country pretty soon! Oh, hopefully no one tells him which country to call and annoy her in... It's always fun when the game cooperates.
KatieTerrorface: Thanks.
TadOlson: It's good to catch the bills early, way better than getting a visit from the repo guy. Oh, the pool! How fun! Having the beehives there is really handy so they can still make money while having fun, and being together.
Maya: Oh, he is pregnant! Poor, poor Ramin. On the plus side, it's a loving family who already has out-of-the-ordinary down, so they'll probably adjust fairly quickly.
Yeah, I took lots of pictures- I was actually quite surprised by how good at it he was right out of the gate, but then I remembered that the criminal career mainly goes off of athletic skill and he's got lots of skill there, so it might help him on these things. Still, I really liked sunset one the best. I often wish I was better at getting shots. Well, that just makes it extra rewarding if you ever do catch the right time.
Zabeth0 One thing I didn't like with Alex was that once she got a car, she took it with her when she traveled. It looked so ridiculous with its tires sinking into the sand and still moving along as fast as ever, in Al Simhara. The motorcycle stays home when Justice travels. That's not why I chose it for her, but it's a nice bonus.
The gems that have come from breaking the space rocks have been cheap ones, so they haven't been that big of a help. But it doesn't really matter, as she has lots of money now, and each of her gardens bring in thousands of simoleons every day, wherever she is.
Well, the trap would have helped Rafael if they were going to come through the door, but it didn't do much when they didn't have to.
OK, so now he gets the rude awakening, and finally realizes that it's all true. It's all coming back to him, even about Vladimer and the Hemlocks. But too late to do him any good.
Now I'm hoping maybe Dee Dee will raid the evil witch's lair, soon, and do battle with her to save Rafael. At least she isn't going to kill him right away.
One nice thing about basements in this game, in my opinion, is that you don't have to confine them to just the space under the house. You can make them bigger than the house itself. I've never done it, but as small as Justice's house is, I might sometime. Though I don't think she'll be staying there much longer. She has much more than she needs for the house she's going to buy in Al Simhara, and will have enough to buy a bigger house in New Sunset Valley as well. I've already reserved one for her, the Prairie Smile house (my heavily edited version) from the base game library, placed on the lot next to Agnes Crumplebottom's house, on the cliff overlooking the ocean. Where I am in my game right now (two more trips abroad from where I've updated to), she has just met her future husband. She doesn't have much time left before she'll be too old to have children naturally, so she isn't going to be able to spend much time at home between trips any more, since I want her to finish exploring all the tombs and caves before she gets married. She's just wished to travel with him, and I'm undecided about whether to do it or not. I think it would just slow down the exploring and make it more complicated. But, on the other hand, the “travel” photo collection requires she get several different shots of sims doing things like pushing the moveable statues, so she'll have to take someone into the tombs with her to get those.
As long as Justice didn't know about the dating profile, it really didn't matter much, as she would not see the messages or answer them. And I thought I had her delete her profile, in fact, I'm pretty sure I did, but I had her check again, and it was there still (or again). But it did give her a good opportunity to meet her future husband, who I had just placed in the game in the night. He also had a profile, and he had sent her a message. Once she answered, he became an instant friend in her relationship panel, so she called and asked him to meet her, and he did. I thought I'd have to engineer a meeting the hard way, but the dating profile made it easy. So they're good for something, at least.
Geoffrey pesters Justice daily when she's at home, but he has never contacted her when she's away. He doesn't need to. Guys in the other countries do it while she's in theirs. In China, one or both of the Su brothers sends her a gift or letter, or both, every day.
bishty I think some players do make custom houseboats, but I don't really know for sure. I don't have IP, so I have no experience with them myself. You might find some on the exchange.
Maybe you need a better graphics card.
KatieTerrorFace Thank you.
TadOlson You seem to know how to build just about anything. I hope your weather has cooled off a little, at least. Ours has.
Good idea to pay those bills right away. When I first started playing the game, I usually forgot about them until I got the popup saying they had to be paid now. Once I hit cancel to cancel an action menu for a sim, just as the popup came up, and it canceled the popup instead, so the repo man came. Nowadays I hardly ever forget to pay the bills.
Justice needs to get a photo of the repo man for a photo collection. I can't think of any way to get it other than having her not pay the bills. I guess that's one collection she isn't going to be able to complete.
AiHaou Runaway teen challenges are fun to do sometimes. My most challenging game ever was a runaway teen with a baby. Until she had a harvest-ready garden of her own, she had to make money harvesting wild plants and fishing. And she had to make enough to pay a babysitter so she could go to school. She was stressed out much of the time, but she did make it to school every day, and she was valedictorian of her class, while also getting her toddler fully trained and aged up well. I consider diplomas a pain, and usually delete them, but in her case, I felt she earned it and should get to keep it.
I've heard that music lots of times and couldn't figure out where it was coming from, but I finally found out. It's from the spirits that the ghost hunters go after. If you're hearing it, there's probably a house nearby where there are spirits haunting and the ghost hunter will be going there soon, though it does sometimes get attached to an active sim. If you zoom out from your house, you might be able to find the haunted one. It will be surrounded by mist, and in my game, the house opens up like my own sim's house, and I can see the inside. In my game with Alex Watson, one or another of her nearest neighbors kept getting ghosts almost every night. It got really, really annoying!
MayaRose1138 Invisible sims don't mean your game is glitched. It happens all the time, even in new games. Every sim night, after Overwatch does its maintenance, I reset all the sims in town with MC, except for my sim. That fixes all the invisible ones, which Overwatch doesn't do. Then I delete all the cars the sims left behind when they got reset, also with MC. NRaas SP makes a lot more sims go invisible than EA's SP does, but it's worth it, and an easy fix.
Yes, I understand needing different hairstyles. I have had trouble in some games with confusing a teen with her mother, even when their hairstyle is different, not in knowing who is who, but when I'm selecting one of them to give them an action, I'd often click on the wrong thumbnail.
Very nice looking family! Did you use the fertility LTR or other manipulation to get triplets on purpose? It can be awfully hard to deal with triplet toddlers, but it isn't too bad if both parents are available full time to take care of them and train them.
Comments
IreneSwift: I'm not sure if it was me either, as sometimes I'll read things addressed to others...but it certainly does sound familiar.
Yeah, Elvin is pretty cynical. Yeah, she's basically been hoping 🐸🐸🐸🐸 would ask her out...but she's been waiting and she's starting to have her doubts.
That it is...but the witches are not in agreement over what should happen to him- some want him dead, some want him turned into an animal, some want his sentience put into an object, and some want him for themselves. This is the most impatient witch.
TadOlson: Yes, it is a dangerous house!
KatieTerrorface: Lol- yeah- send an evil and a mean-spirited sim to make a snowman, and this is what you get!
There were strange, beautiful lights in the sky, not a plane...not fireworks...something else. Ramin had never seen anything like it, but he'd never seen anything like most of what was here in this time...his entire vocabulary of plants in the past was useless, nothing was the same, even the grain was strange here. But there were pretty things, and useful things that were scary at first.
There was a sound he didn't recognize, though it sounded sort of like the beds in the basement. The ones that put you into deep sleep. They were pleasant, but this was coming from the sky?
Ramin was lifted off his feet and into the air by nothing...there was nothing to grab onto, there was nothing keeping him from falling, but he wasn't falling, he was slowly being dragged into the mouth of something big and bright and scary. His yelling echoed back to him! No one below could hear him!
Ramin couldn't understand if they were trying to kill him or not, but for whatever reason, they let him go, he found himself on the ground...in bright light that fade away. He felt like a fish that had been thrown back.
Back home in NSV, Justice built a pond and stocked it with the koi she had caught in China.
She had now built a roof over her deck to keep out the rain, so she could move her martial arts equipment there, and added a strength training machine, to save her the time it took to travel into town to work out. With the distance she had to go to get there, it took one hour each way on her bicycle.
But she also bought herself a motorcycle. It was faster than some of the more expensive cars, but cost less.
She continued her normal routine of jogging or working out each morning.
Some days, after she worked out, she would break a couple of space rocks.
She often got gems from them, which she could sell for a little extra money.
Then after breakfast, she tended to her garden. She had removed almost all of her garden plants and trees and replaced them with the higher quality ones she'd raised in China.
The morning after returning from China, after Justice had tended to her garden, she made a trip into town to sell her excess and lower quality produce at the grocery store, then went to City Hall.
She had decided that she wanted to be self-employed as a photographer.
She spent one day fishing along the beach, to work toward her goal of catching every kind of fish.
<a href="http://s676.photobucket.com/user/calistadrake/media/Sims 3 Screenshots album 3/Justice Morgan Adventurer/10fishing.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/vv122/calistadrake/Sims 3 Screenshots album 3/Justice Morgan Adventurer/10fishing.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 10fishing.jpg"/></a>
That same evening after dinner, she went around town taking pictures of some of the buildings.
After she returned home, she sold some of her photos, and was immediately promoted to level 4 in the photographer career. She could have gotten even higher, but she saved all of the photos she had that were worth over $100, to see if she could sell them at the consignment shop. The next morning, she sold another one worth $102, to get the wish for reaching level 5 out of her queue, so I could promise her the wish to visit France, for 2,250 points. She would be going there very soon. She also got a $500 bonus for reaching level 5 of the career.
Once she finished with her garden on Wednesday, she went to the consignment shop to consign her more valuable photos, then spent the rest of the day going all over town and taking more.
She took enough pictures of new things to master photography, and sold them all for enough to bring her up to level 6 in the photography career, and get a good start toward the next level.
Thursday afternoon, Justice left for France.
On the morning of her second day, Justice reached level 2, but it took until the fourth day to reach level 3, because there were no adventures available for her to do all afternoon and evening of the second day. So she spent her time in other ways, such as learning new recipes and making new friends.
She bought some crepes for breakfast at the food shop one morning.
On her fourth day, Justice finally reached level 3 on her visa, in the evening. She could have gotten it earlier, but she was exploring a hidden tomb she had discovered while looking for gems she had needed along the way to getting the dragon cave key, which was larger than I expected. She quit before she was finished exploring, so she could buy steaks, and then lettuce for a man who wanted to prepare a dinner. Now, he asked her to bring him some crocodile from Egypt. So, she could either turn it down, or be unable to accept any new adventures in France for the rest of her trip.
Justice now had the permission to buy a house, and more than enough money, so she accepted the opportunity to bring crocodiles from Egypt to the man. There were plenty of other things she could do in this country. She bought her house, the Poinsettia house, stopped at the cafe to buy some cooking ingredients, went home, and immediately made some stir-fry for her dinner.
Now Justice had time to jog each morning, or work out. Since there was no gym in France, she had bought a chin-up bar for her new home, for strength training.
She returned to the hidden tomb and finished exploring it. She spent the night in her tent, on the island that a dive well in the mainland part of the tomb led to. She learned that the name of the place was Tuatha's Garden, and finished her exploration the next morning.
On the last day of her stay in France, Justice went to the food shop to sell the frog and red herring she had left from fishing for frogs for an adventure opportunity, then to the relic shop, where she sold the gems and relics she'd collected from Tuatha's Garden, that she'd explored the previous day. Some of them were expensive collectibles she'd found duplicates of, and her total income from her sales to the relic merchant was over $16,000.
She also needed to buy two shelving units for the collectible relics she had gathered on this trip.
Now she was free to work on her photo collections. She got a picture of the market, and of a hydrangea in the town square. She went to the nectary, but when she took a picture of it, it was labeled hotspot. But she did get pictures of 3 different varieties of grape vines. Then, while she was there, she decided to explore the basement of the nectary.
After exploring the basement of the nectary, Justice had more gems, which she sold to the relics merchant for over $2600. Then she packed for her trip home.

Zabeth0-I think the real danger could be from the run down state of the house and it would be wise to set up another house for your sim to move into.
IreneSwift-Great updates!Your sims is having a lot of fun and enjoying adventures.
simlish1-Great pictures!
Here's my own update and it's late because I suddenly felt lousy and had to get to bed for a while to rest.
I got a few things moved around in the library to set it up for a major upgrade.
Here are two walkers I added to the main floor for toddlers.
Here's the other upgrade I made to the main floor to test out a new Mod.
Aaeiyn I like fairies too, I think they're my favourite supernatural type
TadOlson Thank you
IreneSwift You're welcome
I like medium sized families best, so ideally it would just be the 4 Killies. This family lags HORRIBLY because they're so huge and it caused a Blue Screen last night sadly so I made no progress lol but I also like their dynamic so I kept them together. At one point there were loads more sims also living with them because I created the house of 7 friends and then as they started to fragment loads went to live with Marigold but gradually they all left except those two.
I think Theo is surprisingly cute too considering neither of his parents are (were) gems :P Letitia looks *exactly* like her mother aged up except with dark hair. Literally.
I never played this apartment before but there was only one space left in the world where a flat would fit so I picked that one because it's the prettiest. I'm toying with the idea of adding in new houses to all the empty 30x20 lots because nothing useful is going to fit there. What do you think? :P
Cool I know I have seen you on here before, but would love to see you become a regular poster. Welcome and thank you for your comments on others games.
Marigold for a premade is pretty, but she sure has a look like don't tee me off lol, or you will be sorry ha ha ha.
Theo looks kind of sad did his dad die recently? Poor thing to be fatherless at such a tender age.
Youch those traits don't forbode a good ending for poor Theophilus lol
Wow I think the game senses since they are related and gives them the same traits lol.
Being newlyweds and not having a lot, I don't blame them for getting a hand up, but I hope they don't intend to sponge the rest of their days.
Brandon is one handsome dude, but he could do better on the dressing part lol.
Wow there goes my related in game trait theory. In the water the best explanation lol I could come up with lol. Better start making tea with bottled water or some other form of liquid sustenance lol.
Nina has a flair about her. Maybe it is her style she is so good at. She looks great. I love that dress on her.
Finally some different traits lol.
Wow a genie child without the genie skin. Seems like all my genies have blue skin no matter what kind their spouse has.
You are cute for sure Herman.
Oh oh the insane trait. You better learn how to control yourself.
I had to laugh that even though you randomize traits the computer gives them similar traits in some areas. Love it. I should randomize more, but some traits I hate like the photography one for instance.
AWWWW "heart melts" Tigger is soooooo cute.
Dog got the best traits out of the whole house
I posted that thing about photographers eye before reading that you added that trait I swear
Sophie glad someone wanted you. I hope they didn't force her to live there.
Your flat is nice, but seems a little squishy for all those sims of yours.
Cool I love when people make sims based on real life friends and relatives, as I am not good at it, and not comfortable having real life people in game that I know lol.
Please post interesting or not. Sometimes you might think something wouldn't be interesting, and to others they would find it so. Don't be afraid to just post everyday sim events.
Narrator: I have recovered from my little accident of the other day and am ready to continue telling the story of Ashleigh and Shelby. As stated Shelby had just moved in with Ashleigh and frankly I am surprised they haven't killed each other yet.
Shelby flippantly: Well give me time. A girl even of my superior brains and brawn can't do everything in one day.
Narrator: Ahem! Like I was saying Shelby had already let all her old pals and acquaintances know where her new pad was, so that she could continue her party life style. Saying Ashleigh ain't going to like it would be a severe understatement.
Shelby: Like I care what ole stick in the mud thinks! If she had been the only woman on this earth with a guy, the human race never would have existed, the prude.
Ashleigh: Just because your backside has a sign posted open twenty four hours doesn't mean I am a prude.
Shelby: Just because yours is frozen shut, and any one who gets near it would have vital body parts frozen within seconds doesn't...
Narrator: Stop you two! Let us proceed with the story shall we?
Shelby shrugging: Why not? After all everybody should know the awesomeness that is known as me.
Narrator: The doorbell is ringing Shelby. Don't you think you should answer it.
Shelby saw Janice her best friend: Hey Janice. How's it be?
Janice: Hey Shelby. I am fine.
Shelby: It seems like I haven't seen you in forever.
Janice: You haven't. The last time I saw you was a week ago. I never want to have to go that long again not seeing you. It was horrible.
Shelby reassuringly: It won't happen again, I promise. Come on in to my new pad. It ain't much, but you can help me redecorate the dump.
Janice: I am sure your sister's place is just lovely.
Shelby: Awww Janice you are just too nice for your own good
Ashleigh glared at Shelby as Janice walked by.
Janice saw the look on Ashleigh's face and wondered what her problem was. She seemed to resent her being there or did she? Well she wasn't going to stop seeing Shelby just because her sister seemed to have a problem. How trying this must be for Shelby she thought.
Ashleigh resented her home being invaded by her sister who she felt obligated to help out, as her father had instilled in her, that in spite of your problems with family, they are your blood and you needed to watch out for and help them. She was already feeling put upon, but she was darned if her sister was going to make this into a hang out pad for her whacked out hippie friends.
Janice: What is your sister's problem?
Shelby shrugging: Who knows? Just ignore the witch.
While it is true both sisters are really witches; she didn't mean it as a descriptive word of respect.
Shelby: Hey girlfriend, I met a guy. His name is Ning Shui. He is a dream boat. He is about the most perfect man ever. He just moved in about a month ago with the Landgraabs. He is good friends with their daughter. He came looking for a new start after breaking up with his wife Grace.
Janice: Ohhh do I sense a romance between you and Ning Shui?
Shelby: You betcha. He is mine and I ain't gonna let anyone have him. He is just crazy about me. I know it, after all who after seeing me wouldn't be?
Janice: He sounds awesome. I can't wait to meet him. I hope you can arrange an introduction.
Shelby: Sure maybe sometime. I will let you know.
Truth be known Shelby didn't want anybody meeting Ning Shui. She wasn't going to let anybody half way attractive get near him. He was hers and nobody was going to keep them apart.
Narrator: This is the object of Shelby's obsess.... I mean affections. Ning Shui, who due to being a rebel, decided he wanted a different life, divorced his wife Grace, and moved to Sunset Valley. He is living with the Landgraabs until he can find a job and a place of his own. If Ning only knew what was in store for him, he would run far, far away, get plastic surgery and change his name. Poor Ning Shui, but I digress.
Ashleigh was really annoyed now. Shelby only being in town about a week,although it seemed like she had been there a year, already had a boyfriend? Oh great, life was just getting better and better.
Ashleigh: Shelby, I always knew you moved fast, but seriously?
Shelby: I can't help it I am irresistible. Just because you have a talent for turning off any man within a 100 mile radius around you, doesn't mean that I should have to suffer and live like I am in a convent.
Ashleigh: Just make sure you keep him away from me.
Shelby silently to herself: No need to worry about that dear. You will never meet him if I have anything to say about it and I do.
Narrator: What will the future hold for these girls? What will be Ning Shui's fate? Tune in next time to find out.
- I didn't used to like Marigold but now I've warmed to her. I don't know if it's just me but she looks like Haley Sumari (I may be able to dig up a comparison picture :P )
- Not that recently, about 3/4 in-game years ago? Although I think he does still feel sad about it. He has (as well as Letitia) 4 half-sisters and brother whose mother is Dahlia (Fawn, the premade, and triplets (my first natural triplets
- They're not exactly newlyweds, considering that Herman is about 6 years old and they were married for a while before him :P The sponging lifestyle suits them and they're too selfish to think about the effect it might have on Marigold and her family or even really their own children. You'd think such unpleasant people would never have a successful marriage; but in their own twisted sort of way, Brandon and Nina are one of the happiest couples in the town. They suit each other and I suppose that's the bottom line :P
- I actually consider Brandon one of my best sims because everything expresses something about his character. His clothes express the laziness, the slobbiness but also (like for example the rip in the jeans) that he likes to fiddle around with bits of metal and invent stuff
- It's kind of funny actually, I spend very little time on my appearance in real life but I'll happily spend hours and hours making my sims beautiful and perfect :P If Nina was real she'd love those comments :P
- He sort of has genie skin but it's a pale sickly blue. For some reason I always think he would be sticky to touch :P He's hilarious though, he stood and talked to the fridge for like an entire day. Even his imaginary friend was weirded out :P
- Tigger is a sweet dog :P He's actually called Tigger Torborg because that was Nina's maiden name and I think that's a great name
- I don't mind it but I don't really like photography on the whole. It's just not my thing :P
- I've got Twallan's SP and she got moved as a toddler because Linda nearly died so then I made up the story about having to live with a fairy, although to be fair that does make sense
- The kitchen is a routing nightmare but the rest of it is OK actually. Good job there's two bathrooms though :P
- I made O for two reasons: firstly because he really is a good friend and has taken care of me for a long time (and babysat my hamster :P) and secondly because he wants to be a writer in real life as well and I like the quite-bookish typecast of sim so in he went :P
- I was going to post yesterday but my computer Blue Screened just before I saved
I'm in a sort of similar position to your sims actually. My sister has just moved in with me (well my mother but I still live here too) and oh, it's annoying! I can empathise with both sisters. I think Ashleigh is being a bit harsh on her sister but Shelby clearly has some self-esteem issues so neither of them are all good or bad. Ashleigh's expressions are priceless though
Aha! I'll bet it's the little green alien baby you showed us awhile ago that's going to complicate the family dynamics more.
Since 🐸🐸🐸🐸 is waiting for his parents before he'll make his move toward Cindy, I hope they don't dilly dally around too long.
Oh no! Ramin is the one the aliens got! Of all people! He's already struggling to make sense of the present world, now he's going to have to deal with this! Poor guy!
simlish1 Nice pictures!
TadOlson I hope you felt better after your rest. What mod are you trying out now?
bishty You seem to have a lot of blue screen errors. Are you using an older OS?
I didn't think mummies ate sims. I thought they only knocked them out and cursed them. Justice is carrying mummy snacks now, so no more getting beat up.
What world are you playing with? I do add houses when my towns get filled up and the townies run out of houses to move into when they marry or grow up. If you have lots, and things are getting crowded, I'd definitely add more houses. You can then move some of them with Edit Town, or if you have NRaas mods, Master Controller will do it a little more easily in live mode. It won't transfer their funds with them, but you can also give them more money with MC once they're moved.
So, she got her house after all!
Oh, good you remembered the happy green baby!
Simlish: Quite pretty photos.
TadOlson: Lol, well, in it's current state, it's basically a room that has a bathroom, it has no kitchen and the bed is right up against the fireplace... so not exactly inviting. But not to worry, no one lives there long lol.
Bishty: Lol- yeah, that would be weird! Well, yeah, or fairies using jet packs.
Nah they don't literally eat them but I wanted Ses to get cursed and then die so I could experience that death, which I still never have :P
I'm playing in Isla Paradiso right now but with all the sims from Moonlight Falls, where I started (except the dead ones). There are also a lot of empty ports but I can't even build on the land let alone the sea. Do people make custom houseboats? I think I will add some new houses, at least it will get it off my mind :P
I decided it was time to build Justice a basement. Although she doesn't drink, she is saving all the nectar she collects in her exploration, because some adventures she will accept later require that she supply nectar for someone. Nectar is supposed to keep better in a basement. Besides for this, there is no place else to keep her large relics she reconstructs from fragments she collects on her tips abroad.
I wasn't happy to have to put the stairs in like this. I was hoping to build walls around it, but couldn't build them connected to the side of the house without a foundation. The best I could do for now was to extend the roof to cover it. I'll probably move the basement later, and build a small shed-like structure over it.
Justice had enough fragments now to reconstruct a pushable statue, so she went to the basement to put it together, since that was where it would be kept.
Back upstairs, she phoned her friend Judy Bunch, and told her all about her trip to France.
Finally, for a quiet, relaxing end to the day, she practised on her piano. This is a hobby she took up during her last trip to China. I thought I had gotten a screenshot, but I didn't.
Friday began Justice's usual morning jog.
It started raining when Justice was almost back home from jogging. By the time she finished her breakfast of fruit parfait, it had stopped, so she went right out to tend to the garden.
She checked the mail afterward, and found another love letter from Geoffrey Landgraab. Ugh!
It was Leisure Day, so after her shower, Justice decided to take the rest of the day off, forget about building skills or upgrading things, and just have some fun. She started by challenging Victoria Andrews to a water balloon fight. I'm not sure who won, or if anybody did, but she didn't care. It was just for fun.
Next, she had a soccer shootout with her best friend, Judy Bunch.
Judy didn't even try to catch any of the balls Justice kicked to her, so hoping for more of a challenge, Justice called the next ranking soccer competitor to come. Parker Langerak missed every ball she kicked to him too, but at least he seemed to be trying.
Justice wanted to get in some skating before leaving, so although it was starting to get dark, she headed for the rink. She's now skilled enough to spin.
She bought some food from one of the vendors and ate it in the park before going home.
She also redeemed some of her festival tickets to buy herself a roller skating rink and soccer goal. She hadn't been able to skate when she'd first wanted to that afternoon, because the rink was full, so it would be nice to have her own rink at home. There was no room in her yard for either item, but that was not a problem. She had much more than enough money now to buy a house in Egypt the next time she went there. So she bought the vacant lot across the road from her house, and put her new outdoor equipment there.
She also decided it was time to get a computer. She bought a narrower bookcase, so she could move it to a different location, and put her new desk and desk chair where the bookcase had been. She bought a laptop, so that she will be able to take it with her when she travels, if she wants to.
Since Justice is an observer of the seventh-day Sabbath, like her creator, she took Saturday off too. After her morning jog, she broke a couple of space rocks, tended to her garden, showered, and ate her breakfast.
She spent most of the afternoon at the pool.
<a href="http://s676.photobucket.com/user/calistadrake/media/Sims 3 Screenshots album 3/Justice Morgan Adventurer/20breathholdingcontest.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://i676.photobucket.com/albums/vv122/calistadrake/Sims 3 Screenshots album 3/Justice Morgan Adventurer/20breathholdingcontest.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo 20breathholdingcontest.jpg"/></a>
Back home for dinner, she made a single serving of stu surprise. Since she has a little more time to cook while she's at home, it will help her gain skill faster to make single servings rather than group servings to eat all week.
Sunday began as usual. Working out,
Practising marital arts,
Preparing breakfast...
While Justice ate her breakfast, she got a call from Geoffrey Landgraab, asking her to prepare a meal for him, which he would pay her for. Justice doesn't trust him, and this just sounded like a ruse to get face to face with her in hopes of pressuring her to accept his lecherous advances. She didn't bother to be polite as she refused.
Next, tending the garden.
Justice had been told that there was an online dating site for the town, and that sometimes newcomers were given a profile on the site, without asking for one. She was no longer a newcomer, but she had not heard of it before, and if she had a profile on such a site, she wanted to know about it! So, now that she had a computer, she decided to visit the site and find out. There was a profile there for her. There were also a lot of messages from men. One of them, who suggested she tell him about her interesting name while they made out, was quite offensive to her, so she deleted that one immediately. She checked the profiles of the others who had messaged her, and some of them didn't sound like anyone she wanted to be involved with. Besides that, she knew enough about some of these men to know that they had been married. She hadn't been around enough lately to know whether they still were, but she knew how to find out.
Sure enough, most of them were married. And of those who weren't, their profiles suggested there was good reason for that, and she wasn't any more interested in them than other women had been. After she finished her research, she deleted all of the messages without replying to them, and her own profile, which she had not put there in the first place.
She spent the rest of the day learning new recipes, then prepared hamburgers for her dinner.
She ended the day with a phone call to a friend in China.
The next couple of days went much the same. By Monday morning, the new French grapes and life fruit were ready for harvest.
She prepared eggs Machiavellian for breakfast.
She learned the recipe for cheesesteak that afternoon, then prepared it for her dinner.
Tuesday followed the same pattern of jogging, gardening, cooking, and working on skills. Unfortunately, Geoffrey Landgraab either called or wrote, or both, every day that she was home.
Wednesday morning was the same as usual, but after the morning tasks were finished, Justice cleaned up, took out the trash,
went to town to sell her produce,
then returned home, packed, and called a cab to take her to the airport for her flight to China.
When Justice got home from jogging that morning, she wished to travel to China – great timing, as this was the day I planned for her to go anyway. So she got those 2,000+ points as a bonus.
@IreneSwift: Cool updates! Justice's basement sure has some sweet stuff!
@TadOlson: Nice update! ^^
@colorist40: A classic! "I can't help it I am irresistible" still too funny. xD
Colorist40-Great update!It looks like they aren't getting along very well at all.
IreneSwift-I'm trying out both an auto roof disabler and build/buy restrictions choker to be able to build base camps more easily.Great updates!I must've still been sick from the heat and wasn't recovered yet.
Zabeth0-I know about having houses that small because I've made a few tiny like that as starter homes.
KatieTerrorFace-Thanks for the comment.
I'll have an update ready a little later.
Anyway I've started doing the runaway teen challenge. I did it once before and it was fun. This sim was created when playing with genetics and I saved her to the bin to use in the challenge. But I thought one sim was too easy so I added more than one. The second I added was one of the pre-generated sims.
This is Emiri. The sim generated.
This is Andrea the premade sim.
I made them a backstory. I'll post it on somewhere else because it might upset some.

Here's my own update and it's more of what I did in Glen Harbor.
Cory and Angel Frankovitch were up a little later than usual on that late winter morning and they got themselves breakfast and got ready for the day quickly.The letter carrier dropped off the bills they would have to pay soon and Cory decided to get out there and pay those bills.
She had to throw out the old newspaper before paying the bills.
They both decided to spend some time studying skills online with their iPads to learn new skills.
They both went to the pool at about 4PM and enjoyed swimming though Cory was actually harvesting honey and planning to sell it at the elixir shop.
They both got home and got themselves into bed by 8PM.
Woman: "You know, there doesn't seem to be anyone around...and I've got this bag of marshmallows that need roasting up, so how about it, Purple straps, you hungry?"
Rafael: "I vish you vell on yourr marrschmallow rroastink. I nyeed to go rryest up frrom vastink all my enyerrgy." He said. He was quite cold and the idea of sitting by a nice warm fire, roasting marshmallows was horribly appealing, and that was why he had to go. He needed to go home even though he was dreading it, and he needed to not learn this woman's name, and he needed to never see her again. She was disturbingly beautiful and her freckles were like stars on her face, and she was dangerous.
Woman: She laughed. "Well, okay, then, Twinkle-toes. I'll see you later."
He didn't know for certain that there was anything to be worried about, logic told him that there wasn't- that they wouldn't give him a job and attack him before he showed up the first day. After he'd been working there, they could easily turn on him; the Hemlocks had. But right now they had nothing to go on, right?
However, he retrieved some wire and rigged up a simple trap on the door. He told himself he was being paranoid, but he trapped the door anyway, just in case. Better to be on the safe side, perhaps the criminal network itself was okay with him, and that thug was bearing a grudge, he wouldn't know unless someone tried something. With his luck, someone would. But with the trap on the door, he felt better. Maybe he'd be able to sleep. The cold had really helped the soreness.
Ah, yes, nice, comforting, warm, deep sleep....
What kind of crazy dream was this?
He seemed to be dreaming he was in some sort of underground library. There was a light around him- strange and crackling with power. More supernatural superstitions bleeding into his dreams, most likely.
It was odd to be dreaming about someone he just met, usually dreams lagged more than that.
The weightless feeling left, and his bare feet felt cold stone under him. Quite suddenly, he realized that had been shock, not a dream; this was real! But how could it be?
This was off course the moment that his mind decided to string together every instance of a flash of too bright eyes or a side view of too sharp teeth from Vladimir and the Hemlock's and drop them on him like a string of fireworks in his brain. His mind may have been trying to batter down the denial to save him, but it overwhelmed him instead.
Rafael: "Vhat's goink on? Vherre am I?"
Woman: "I summoned you to my basement, you know, magically. Being that I'm a witch, I can totally do that. I didn't even think that I'd be catching you in your pajamas! Pity I didn't catch you in the shower, Twinkle-toes."
Rafael: All this magic stuff was real...it was overwhelming...but he had to get his mind working because the point of Miss Wynn's talk with him was that a witch was going to kill him for being in that house. "Dyeedyee Dyeedyee Dyeedyee." He said as quickly as he could...but nothing happened.
Woman: She laughed at him. "It's magically shielded, she can't hear you! Even if you weren't mangling her name all palatalized like that."
Rafael: "I suppyose you arre goink to kyill me now?"
Woman: "That was my original plan, I kind of thought it would be cool to kill you in front of Deedee, since she wants to save you so bad. She is my nemesis, after all. But you kind of won me over with the jammies."
Rafael: He hoped she didn't realize he was walking towards her- he didn't know what he could do, but he did know he was physically stronger than her and he hoped he could close the distance before she could harm him- if it was a gun or a knife he'd have a good chance, but he didn't know anything about magic, however, she had a wand in her hand and maybe if he could wrestle it away she couldn't harm him? But hadn't she summoned him without the wand? Maybe if he covered her mouth?
Rafael: As he got closer and closer his muscles became less responsive, as though he was trying to walk through superglue.
Woman: She was casting a spell, her voice pronouncing syllables he didn't know, and magic arcing around in the air, like static electricity before a lightning strike.
Rafael: And then the magic hit him.
Okay, that makes sense. So he has to deal with that, and now poor Ramin has to cope with being abducted by aliens! If he ends up pregnant, that is going to be very interesting
Hawk is going to have an interesting time then. Just as well I haven't made his twin sister insane yet
Thank you
Thank you
I'll try and keep him busy so that he doesn't lose it too often
I was trying to work out who Tristan reminded me of and that's who it was!! No wonder I was dreaming about Johnny Depp the other night
When Autumn's bubble came up with that image, it was just like she was thinking "oh yes, he'll do nicely to add to my family"
Thank you (re the bed). I think there are some kinds of reds and pinks that actually go well together and it seems that I might have found one combination
Yes, I give all my sims that LTR (most of the time before they try for a baby
Yes, Easter does seem extremely happy, doesn't she?
Maybe Easter will change her hairstyle partway through her teen years if she has a whim to imitate her mother
I was trying to get the second lot of sims to the photobooth so I let the others do what they like. It was fun discovering what they were doing when I paid attention to them
Btw, I've read your Trouble with Sisters story on the blog and I enjoy your writing style for it! It's like what you did with the Roaring Heights story. Are you still playing that game?
Thanks! I don't know what the trick-or-treater was doing there considering it was Spring! Jaguar is cute, isn't he?
Thank you! Yes, Hawk will grow up very nicely. I just hope he can deal with his anger management issues
Lol!! I have nothing else I can say about this
Welcome to the community (yes, I'm a bit late but anyway...)! You look like you've got an interesting family there, with a mix of supernaturals. Please feel free to post anything because even if you don't think it's interesting, others might
Ivory's hair is from Island Paradise, which was a surprise to me because I had looked everywhere for braids like that! I would have got Island Paradise sooner if I had realised that
Daisy and Easter certainly take after one parent each, which is really interesting. I didn't keep them with their first hairstyles because of it being Autumn's - if all the teens had that style, it would get very confusing
Yes, Jaguar is very cute. A lot of the toddlers have the same kind of face but sometimes some are just cuter than others

Ivory:
Nelson:
I gave Nelson the Mermaid Kelp to eat straight away and then the Permanent Mermaid LTR's so that he would remain a mermaid despite not living near the beach. I didn't recolour his scales because I like that turquoise colour.
Ivory levelled up to 10 in Science and managed to transform a Kona Bean seed into a Forbidden Fruit one and gave it to her husband Nelson to plant, who had levelled up to level 7 in gardening by reading books. While they were waiting for the plant to grow, they wished to have a child, so I granted that wish
Meet the triplets:
Callum: (mother's hair and life state, father's eyes)
Cadence: (father's hair and life state, mother's eyes) I love her pink scales!
Brielle: (father's hair and eyes, mother's life state)
The parents shared the duties of teaching their kids the necessary skills:
The triplets then proceeded to play with various things.
Brielle seems to be almost angry at the xylophone, while Cadence is saying to her brother "why are you eating that?"
Playing with the blocks.
The first Forbidden Fruit plant didn't work so Ivory had to make another seed. The second plant was much more successful.
This is Leaf, who - if it works with the mods - will be Autumn's genetic donor for her 'P' baby

Yeah, that does sound like a rich guy trap!
KatieTerrorface: Thanks.
TadOlson: It's good to catch the bills early, way better than getting a visit from the repo guy.
Maya: Oh, he is pregnant!
Yeah, I took lots of pictures- I was actually quite surprised by how good at it he was right out of the gate, but then I remembered that the criminal career mainly goes off of athletic skill and he's got lots of skill there, so it might help him on these things. Still, I really liked sunset one the best.
The gems that have come from breaking the space rocks have been cheap ones, so they haven't been that big of a help. But it doesn't really matter, as she has lots of money now, and each of her gardens bring in thousands of simoleons every day, wherever she is.
Well, the trap would have helped Rafael if they were going to come through the door, but it didn't do much when they didn't have to.
OK, so now he gets the rude awakening, and finally realizes that it's all true. It's all coming back to him, even about Vladimer and the Hemlocks. But too late to do him any good.
Now I'm hoping maybe Dee Dee will raid the evil witch's lair, soon, and do battle with her to save Rafael. At least she isn't going to kill him right away.
One nice thing about basements in this game, in my opinion, is that you don't have to confine them to just the space under the house. You can make them bigger than the house itself. I've never done it, but as small as Justice's house is, I might sometime. Though I don't think she'll be staying there much longer. She has much more than she needs for the house she's going to buy in Al Simhara, and will have enough to buy a bigger house in New Sunset Valley as well. I've already reserved one for her, the Prairie Smile house (my heavily edited version) from the base game library, placed on the lot next to Agnes Crumplebottom's house, on the cliff overlooking the ocean. Where I am in my game right now (two more trips abroad from where I've updated to), she has just met her future husband. She doesn't have much time left before she'll be too old to have children naturally, so she isn't going to be able to spend much time at home between trips any more, since I want her to finish exploring all the tombs and caves before she gets married. She's just wished to travel with him, and I'm undecided about whether to do it or not. I think it would just slow down the exploring and make it more complicated. But, on the other hand, the “travel” photo collection requires she get several different shots of sims doing things like pushing the moveable statues, so she'll have to take someone into the tombs with her to get those.
As long as Justice didn't know about the dating profile, it really didn't matter much, as she would not see the messages or answer them. And I thought I had her delete her profile, in fact, I'm pretty sure I did, but I had her check again, and it was there still (or again). But it did give her a good opportunity to meet her future husband, who I had just placed in the game in the night. He also had a profile, and he had sent her a message. Once she answered, he became an instant friend in her relationship panel, so she called and asked him to meet her, and he did. I thought I'd have to engineer a meeting the hard way, but the dating profile made it easy. So they're good for something, at least.
Geoffrey pesters Justice daily when she's at home, but he has never contacted her when she's away. He doesn't need to. Guys in the other countries do it while she's in theirs. In China, one or both of the Su brothers sends her a gift or letter, or both, every day.
bishty I think some players do make custom houseboats, but I don't really know for sure. I don't have IP, so I have no experience with them myself. You might find some on the exchange.
Maybe you need a better graphics card.
KatieTerrorFace Thank you.
TadOlson You seem to know how to build just about anything. I hope your weather has cooled off a little, at least. Ours has.
Good idea to pay those bills right away. When I first started playing the game, I usually forgot about them until I got the popup saying they had to be paid now. Once I hit cancel to cancel an action menu for a sim, just as the popup came up, and it canceled the popup instead, so the repo man came. Nowadays I hardly ever forget to pay the bills.
Justice needs to get a photo of the repo man for a photo collection. I can't think of any way to get it other than having her not pay the bills. I guess that's one collection she isn't going to be able to complete.
AiHaou Runaway teen challenges are fun to do sometimes. My most challenging game ever was a runaway teen with a baby. Until she had a harvest-ready garden of her own, she had to make money harvesting wild plants and fishing. And she had to make enough to pay a babysitter so she could go to school. She was stressed out much of the time, but she did make it to school every day, and she was valedictorian of her class, while also getting her toddler fully trained and aged up well. I consider diplomas a pain, and usually delete them, but in her case, I felt she earned it and should get to keep it.
I've heard that music lots of times and couldn't figure out where it was coming from, but I finally found out. It's from the spirits that the ghost hunters go after. If you're hearing it, there's probably a house nearby where there are spirits haunting and the ghost hunter will be going there soon, though it does sometimes get attached to an active sim. If you zoom out from your house, you might be able to find the haunted one. It will be surrounded by mist, and in my game, the house opens up like my own sim's house, and I can see the inside. In my game with Alex Watson, one or another of her nearest neighbors kept getting ghosts almost every night. It got really, really annoying!
MayaRose1138 Invisible sims don't mean your game is glitched. It happens all the time, even in new games. Every sim night, after Overwatch does its maintenance, I reset all the sims in town with MC, except for my sim. That fixes all the invisible ones, which Overwatch doesn't do. Then I delete all the cars the sims left behind when they got reset, also with MC. NRaas SP makes a lot more sims go invisible than EA's SP does, but it's worth it, and an easy fix.
Yes, I understand needing different hairstyles. I have had trouble in some games with confusing a teen with her mother, even when their hairstyle is different, not in knowing who is who, but when I'm selecting one of them to give them an action, I'd often click on the wrong thumbnail.
Very nice looking family! Did you use the fertility LTR or other manipulation to get triplets on purpose? It can be awfully hard to deal with triplet toddlers, but it isn't too bad if both parents are available full time to take care of them and train them.
