I'm still working on my Wild West updates with Roy and Holly. But I also went into my Twinbrook game last night (the one with all the pets). I wanted to see if Di and Dudley would be getting any rent from their 3 new roommates. None so far. But it certainly has become a very active household even without my controlling all of them.
First, a little update about Di. Full story and more pics here: Expect the Unexpected
Every time Di turned around, Anna and Dudley were pairing up together.
Then of all things, one night on a full moon, Di had an unexpected visitor. A very mysterious elderly gentleman came calling. Mr. Qedef Qomiphash. Di supposed he must be a foreigner. But no matter who his people were, Mr. Qomiphash had very nice manners indeed.
Di was sure Mr. Qomiphash didn't have any dark family secrets like Dudley. She doubted the gentleman lived in a swamp or had relatives sending him evil gnomes!
I'm so excited! I've been playing with my favorite sim, Sydney Law. For anyone unfamiliar (which I'm assuming would be all of you) I played with the Law family for 3-4 gens in Lucky Palms and the file got very bad so I had to move them out of it. They lost all their family and friends, which I'm honestly still sad about . Syd was not always a girl, though.. Nope, she was born as Maxwell Law. She changed her name (and gender!) as a teenager in LP. She got married very young to her high school sweetheart, Lilli (Lili? I honestly don't know.. I think it's Lilli!) Her mom died on her birthday (she actually died on her birthday twice! The first time my game crashed so it was never saved, of course.) and her father died on her wedding day. After a while (when the save got really bad) I had to move them quickly from LP to another town. There was no time to save important sims, which sucks but what can you do? Lilli was pregnant before they moved to Starlight Shores. She had a girl and named it Addison. When they got to SS they adopted a girl named Sephora. The only things left from LP are some of Syd's paintings, a blurry picture of Emma (Syd's mother), and a prom picture. (By the way, I turned advanced rendering off.. Yikes!)

More pictures later.. Photobucket is being very unkind right now. Nothing significant has happened quite yet. I think Lilli and possibly Syd are gonna go to college if I can set it up corrfectly (last time I tried to set up a home-world college my game crashed shortly after..) I know I didn't share much information about them but there's so much to share that it would be so long, plus I'm so excited to be playing with my favorite sim again that I can't really gather my thoughts. I have no idea when I will update again. I haven't been playing much because my computer really was not made to game, but hopefully I can play them soon. Sorry this post was such a mess. Have a lovely night, everyone!
@TadOlson Thank you. I like the storage unit you made. @JoAnne65 LOL yes it was a bit over chilly for everyone involved. @LBell Nice beach day! @king_of_simcity7 Thank you. Really liked the update. @wendyyi1 Wow, two nights in a row. @Jeansoo Loved the grim reaper update. @Evalen Great update. @MzPigglyPooh I've not had it happen in any of my games yet but I'd heard of it happening. "That Darn Cat" @Karritz Nice update, wish I could see a pic of the dogs riding the boats, lol. @lanlyn Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it. Great update and pics.
@Gernadia I'll try to do some pictures soon. I did get at least one shot of a boat with just a dog in it but all that can be seen is the boat. I may have another go at getting them to go somewhere on a boat and try to get a pic of them in the boat.
In the meantime - Gene has made his Simbot.
Naturally I had problems. Firstly, I couldn't get my group of Sims to move out of the house. The game said the house had to have a fridge and sufficient beds for everyone. Well I checked twice and counted the beds and cots and there were enough with one to spare.
So I moved Bess in alone then did a merge households to get enough of them to move out to that house to allow Gene's new SimBot to be adopted.
Then I did another merge households to get them all back in again. That led to problems. I had 17 Sims (including pets) in the household before the initial move and addition of the SimBot. After the merge households to get them all back home again I had only 16 Sims in the household including pets and the new SimBot.
I tried doing NRAAS > Master Controller > Sim > Reset Sim but that did nothing.
So I decided to try NRAAS > Master Controller > Add Sim > Age > Toddler
I got a list of toddlers from town. There were 2 in the list and one was Belinda Bombay (one of my missing Sims).
Then I had to work out who else was missing. I discovered it was Bess.
So I did NRAAS > Master Controller > Add Sim > Age > Young Adult and the list of young adults was quite long but Bess was in it so I grabbed her and now I have them all safely home.
@LBell -I usually do my own builds with store content added to the build.Thanks for the comment.Great update! @phoebebebe13 -I don't mind 1000 acres as long as I'm not more than ten miles from stores and more than a mile or two from the closest neighbors. @wendyyi1 -Great pictures! @Jeansoo -I hope it's the one from the store lot and not the other one you added.That looks like fun. @emorrill -It might be best if you had a sim made to look like the reaper or had the one from the store lot. @king_of_simcity7 -Great update! @Evalen -Great update! @MzPigglyPooh -That sounds like you had fun trying something new. @lanlyn -Thanks for the comment.I downloaded that set from MTS.Great update! @Breazona -Great update!I had some old saves go bad before using Mods because the social workers deleted sims from those games. @Gernadia -Thanks for the comment.I just used a CC set from MTS to build the unit. @Karritz -Great update!I've had glitches before like home inspections being enabled when I was trying to move sims into town and it stopped me from being able to move new families in.I turned that off because I don't need that with HomeOpener.
Storybrook County,Maine-Fall-1551.
Eli and Ami Jankowsky were both up and getting ready for the day quickly before it got light out.
They got to work on chores after breakfast and got ready to start studying until time for work.
They spent most of the morning working on writing their stories until it was time to get ready for work.
They both left for work at 3:30 in the afternoon.
It was 7PM when they got off work and added some new wall sections for a second bedroom.
They got into bed by 8PM and went to sleep.
Tanner and Tracy Ivanovitch were getting into bed at 10PM after work.
@TadOlson It would be hard to find 1000 acres 10 minutes from any town. You could start your own town after you buy the 1000 acres I live rural and acreage here is expensive.
After arriving, they started up what seemed to be a road and Dewey ran into a strange man swimming at night, he told him what happen, the strange man told Dewey that everyone on Volcan, arrived here the same way years ago, except for the ones born here. Only the building were here. The first people who arrived by way of a cruise ship that sunk also. They have made it their home.
Dewey asked him where he could stay. The stranger informed him that because of the way people arrive here that there is an old outpost that he can stay in until he can afford something else. He will then be able to buy property at the city hall in the Civic Center.
Although the stranger seemed friendly enough Dewey and Annie were still not sure about this strange place. Dewey told Annie that the place was called Volcan. they proceeded up the road. He ran into another man and asked him how to get to the Old Outpost. the stranger told him the way. It seems the stranger was an artist here. Dewey told him he too was an artist.
They walked for what seemed like hours in the dark, passing strange looking building, trees and plants. horses roaming everywhere. until they cam to the old OutPost. they could not believe what they saw.
Although the place was so run down, they were so tired that they just fell asleep, Dewey assuring Annie things would be better in the morning.
In the morning Dewey found a journal that another tenet had left here. It told a little about the how he got here, just like them. he did say that the town was friendly, but he missed home. He started to write something about Aliens, but he stopped writing.
they both set out to discover the town and where they were. they discovered some wonderful places
the volcan Mall was amazing, everything was there, and people all around, It was an amazing place, book store, groceries, school, spa, and a place to eat. Everyone seemed to be happy and enjoying them self
They then found the Civic Center, Where the City hall, police, military, Business Building and Hospital. Seemed like this place had it all.
there was a lot going on at the mall, with someone playing music and people dancing and having fun.
Dewey went back to the old outpost, talking abut Volcan, how beautiful it was. How the Mall and civic center where both under some kind of domes, was it because of the weather or something else. Dewey after talking with some people decide he would start painting with some paints and canvas he found in the Old Outpost and sell them in town. Annie said someone told her that Volcan did have a Library with computers and she said she would finish writing her book and also sell it in town. They needed to make some money so they could get out of the Old Post. After all Annie did want children, but was this a good place to have a child, and how long would they be here.
TS3-Alice Shea got promoted to level 8 medical career, while her husband Oliver was promoted to level 3 music career. Their son Alec aged up to a child, and has begun his passion, painting. School is not necessarily his thing however. He skips homework to paint..
TS4-Callie has started her first day at work. She is a game guru, and she is obsessed with her new job. Right now she is taking care of her elder parents but she hopes to one day move out of that house and live her own life.
I'm close to finishing my Riverview game and story, and then I'm planning to install Generations and University, return to a previous save which ended with a wedding, have the couple try for baby and explore the new (to me) EPs with their children.

@Karritz Oh my, you had to go through a lot to get that sim bot in there. @TadOlson Thanks and great update. @imdragonit Your witch and house look cool. @junceda Really great pics and update, it all looks amazing. @Evalen Enjoying the story. @king_of_simcity7 Nice update, poor Carla. @PalmArrow Great update.
I think I tried that too, but I will try it again. Thank you!
Nope, I took an obviously trashed umbrella with holes in it, put it on the floor, and had a level 10 handy sim work on it. His only interaction was "put in inventory" or "tinker." I had him tinker on it, and he spent several sim hours on it with no results, and no progress bar under the action. I canceled the action and the umbrella still had holes/tears in it.

@KevinL5275 , I agree, there is definitely a similarity in face shape and the hairstyle is the same. The features not so much. @king_of_simcity7 , this is Molly:

A few updates from me with Carla and a guy called Paul who she is interested in but Paul seems to send off mixed signals
Paul knows how to work his magic
It is not long before he gets her into bed
Afterwards he has to go off somewhere. Carla is not impressed
TS4-Callie has started her first day at work. She is a game guru, and she is obsessed with her new job. Right now she is taking care of her elder parents but she hopes to one day move out of that house and live her own life.

@lanlyn , I liked Di's thoughts about the nice elderly alien. The evil gnome's grin in your last picture is really creepy!
@king_of_simcity7 , Carla is very pretty!
@Evalen , I like the beginning of your story. It's so intriguing!
@junceda , your Sim couple is beautiful and so is their home!
@imdragonit , I love the idea of a jellyfish house!
@TadOlson Thanks and great update.
@imdragonit Your witch and house look cool.
@junceda Really great pics and update, it all looks amazing.
@Evalen Enjoying the story.
@king_of_simcity7 Nice update, poor Carla.
@PalmArrow Great update.
@Gernadia Thanks I haven't yet thought of a nice boyfriend for her yet
@PalmArrow love your town center, very nice
@king_of_simcity7
OK, I finally figured it out. Your sim Amber looks a lot like @PalmArrow 's Molly Bluejay!
My Generation 12 heir (the bride), got married today! She got married to the youngest son of a wealthy alien/sim couple that i made
@KevinL5275 I am sure who that Sim is but Amber is a very one of a kind type of Sim
