    Also, if you are new to the sims and have questions re: game play or the forums, I hope you will ask them here.
    Hi I'm new to the forums and have a question...I feel like it's kind of a dumb question but anyway: how do I add screenshots to posts? The "attach image/file" button at the top of the posting box only shows me a "image URL" option. How do I add from my harddrive? Or do I have to upload them to a webpage somewhere first and link them? (having to upload and link would be annoying)

    I'm not some internet n00b, but I feel n00by for not being able to use the posting box correctly.... :s
    I uploaded something! (yay) My Studio
    Enjoy!

    Been taking boring classes related to the new job I got in May. Fun - not! Lol.

    @KevinL5275 Lol! Actually that alien sim was leaving Kaydence's place. She never actually got in there. It was already 5 am when she arrived.

    @CravenLestat Cute pic! Love the spacey backdrop!

    @TadOlson Lee is adorable! I love her hairstyle.

    @lanlyn Yep, these sims are being abducted elsewhere on the campus, either while my sim is in a rabbit hole or doing something else.

    Savannah arrived at Le Fromage Art School and decided to meet with one of her youngest daughter Skylar's teachers.
    "Ms. Benton, is it?" Savannah began.
    "Please, call me Fran. I've heard much about your family, and I have to admit I was excited when I heard your daughter would be joining us. But she seems very unhappy."
    "That's what I wanted to talk about."

    7vOSnT0.jpg

    "Skylar first attempted to run away about a week ago. We caught her, then."

    hucTe5Y.jpg

    "That's when we believe she contacted your - your brother, is it, her uncle?"
    "Yes," Savannah confirmed, "my brother, Sebastian." She took a deep breath. "I don't understand why she isn't happy. I tried for three years to get her in here."
    "We do have a lengthy waiting list, Mrs. Jolina-Plumb."
    "At the first sign of adversity she tries to leave."
    "Well," Fran Benton told Savannah, "our curriculum is very thorough."

    Screenshot-5540_zpsfepbeopv.jpg

    A week earlier, Skylar had starred as Juliet in the school's production of the famous Shakespeare play. The production had been reviewed by leading theater critics. The role had been Skylar's first acting job of any kind. The theater critics tore Skylar's performance apart. She 'looked good' as Juliet, wrote one critic, but 'butchered' the role.

    Skylar took the criticism hard.
    "I'll talk to her," Savannah assured Fran Benton. "I'll see what's going on."

    I have posted Part 2 of Bunter's Tale of Djinn. Caveat: I like to read about other cultures, their myths, history, and beliefs. That doesn't mean I sanction everything I find. All countries have the good, the bad, and the ugly--including my own. But I do find it fascinating how similar all this folklore often is. (PS. Don't worry, my story isn't as serious as this caveat! ;) )

    I'm going to leave the chapter on my blog instead of posting it here. Please click the link below; it will take you directly to the story. :) BTW, I included 3 videos in the blog update to help give background and set the mood. I'm sharing one of those here; it's one of my favorite pieces of classical music.

    Link to the story: Bunter's Tale of Djinn: Part 2

    Another update for Rinn Fada.

    Link to Chapter: House Divided

    Bunter: What is it? What are you talking about?
    Caprice: Emad kissed me.

    Walsh: If Bebhinn and your brother end up together, well, good! I won't live forever. Those two will be worthy successors when I pass on.
    Bunter (mumbling to himself): Which might be sooner than you expect.

    Ok, thanks! Here I was holding off on posts because I wanted to add screenies....
    I guess that policy makes sense to keep out spammers...darn spammers, ruining forums everywhere, making regular poster's lives harder...sigh...

    @TadOlson I like Lee's hairstyle here. Simple, but flattering.

    @Silverofdreams30 Thank you for your comments. :)

    @ShojoDagger Welcome to the forums. Hope to see you again!

    @venusdemilosims Oh, now I feel bad for Skylar! She's so used to being admired. How awful about the critics review of her Juliet performance! I hope Savannah can help Skylar work through that experience. :(

    I've been super busy this week & only getting 2 days off especially next week with again same 2 days. This month is the start of a busy season for my RL work. So I won't be playing much of Sims 3 for a while.

    In the meantime I am releasing Luxorite house early on Mediafire. Note: This is the version before my latest changes.

    http://www.mediafire.com/file/bh5lpi39ogkeg94/Luxorite_-_2br,_1.5ba.rar

    I will release it on Sims 3 launcher later time since I don't have a set date.

    Been so super busy lately, only had one day off work and next week promises to be no better. Have literally not touched the game at all. I'm in classes 3x a week for the job I started in May.

    @ddsims3world Nice job on the house! I can totally relate about being busy in RL.

    @lanlyn Yeah. Skylar's in a tough spot, she really is. I hate to use Kaydence as a reference point here, but I have to since she and Skylar are virtually the same age. Skylar doesn't have as thick a skin as Kaydence does. This is not to say she won't develop it later, it's that she doesn't have it now. One major reason the two girls don't get along as well as their family hoped is because they actually have very little in common, and don't have a lot of interests in common, either. As the youngest daughter, Skylar is used to being the center of attention in her family. Her sisters and older brother doted on her. She's a bit of a drama queen as a result. Skylar's conception and birth was something of a surprise, as it happened at the spur of the moment, during an Andy and Savannah romp in Sierra's treehouse in Hidden Springs.
    Lovely photo of Bunter and Caprice dancing :)

    Random photos here...

    Sage was always more comfortable among animals than people. Here she is bathing her dog, Bitsy. Bitsy was a gift, ironically enough, from her uncle, Sebastian, when she was a puppy.

    The sisters Sage, Sierra, and Skylar, you pretty much see who they are, right there in that pic. Sage watching maternally over Skylar as she does her homework while Sierra gazes off in the distance with her green hair.

    I found more old pix going thru my hard drive, if I have you guys' permission to post them... here goes... :)

    Apparently Kaydence doesn't have a family monopoly on time travel.
    Years ago Savannah's husband, Andy, went to a consignment store and found an old metal box that turned out to be a time machine. He gave it to her as an anniversary gift. Most people give flowers, candy, even vacations. But Andy wanted to do something different, because he knew that the woman he married was a different kettle of fish.

    Lzulu5J.jpg

    Knowing the history buff his wife he was, he knew that one day she would be keen to try it out. He was right.
    One day, while he was at practice, she decided to try it out...

    j6JDhbq.jpg

    ...and she ended up on a high seas adventure as a dread pirate in search of a lost treasure.

    3CkY4FA.jpg

    "This thing's gotta be round here somewhar," she thought.

    Eventually, with the help of Thomas the town historian...

    ...she laid eyes on the prize.

    @venusdemilosims Enjoyed seeing the early pics of your family. And yes, that one of the 3 girls does show their personalities. ...Great time travel story! Fun.

    @ddsims3world Good luck with your busy season at work. Hope you find some free time soon.

    @TadOlson Does your food wagon work like the ice cream van? Or does it need to be parked somewhere?

    @Silverofdreams30 Bianca is so pretty! Loved that pic with her on the piano.

    Guys sorry haven't been around lately, still a lot going on in real life. Mom took a nasty fall Mon nite, and I've also been dealing with some nasty niggling health issues.

    @Silverofdreams30 Bianca is so lovely, I told you she is quite striking, with her dark hair/light eye combo.

    @lanlyn Congrats to Hera and Piers on the birth of their daughter! They definitely look like they're in new-parent bliss!

    More random screens:

    Sage Heilman eschewed the glitz and glamour of the Jolina-Plumb lifestyle for a quiet existence in the country. She loves her family dearly, but ever since she was small, she knew the life simply was not for her. She's mostly content to leave the drama to her younger sisters - and intervene when they need her.
    Sage Heilman married her college sweetheart, Kyle, a fellow fine arts major she met while both were in college.

    qy2wJKB.jpg

    Upon the news that Sage Heilman may be planning to adopt a Chinese orphan, as her mother, Savannah, adopted two Egyptian children, she tends to the herd of chickens. In addition, Sage Heilman turned her Appaloosa Plains ranch into a facility for troubled, underprivileged youth.

    xy22XKI.jpg

    Whither Kaydence's half-brother, Aaron Christopher Foster, listening to a comedy show being put on by a plumbot. Any doubt that he is a Jolina-Plumb has been erased, right here. Is the bot cracking a joke about Savannah's dragon novel? Who knows?
    Some background: Aaron Foster is the son of Sebastian and his ex, Kyra Foster. Kyra was a backup singer for Lola Belle in Bridgeport. The breakup was tumultuous. For years, Sebastian denied fathering Aaron, even sleeping with Kyra, until a DNA test Savannah made him take finally made him admit the truth.
    Sebastian's breakup with Madison wound up in court for a year. His breakup with Kyra didn't end up with court, but that didn't mean it was any less painful. Brokenhearted Kyra was used by a salacious tabloid, who exploited her for ratings as she told her story of how the love of her life, Sebastian Jolina-Plumb, bounced between her and his childhood sweetheart in Sunset Valley who he never officially broke up with. Kyra spent years in limbo, living on friends' charity, all the while raising her young son as a single parent, until she landed with the kind fire chief of tiny Hidden Springs.

    Screenshot-5636_zpslh5ns2v3.jpg

    Years later, enterprising little Kaydence, Sebastian's daughter with pop star Madison Avenue, located Aaron on social media and unwittingly opened up a huge can of worms. Upon doing so, she forced her father, Sebastian, to answer tough questions -questions he was at first unwilling to deal with.

    Rafael: An old movie theater criminal hideout was a far better idea than an abandoned looking warehouse in Bridgeport because the theater, which also hosted live shows, magicians and concerts, had better built in excuses. In Bridgeport, simply being seen around the "abandoned" warehouse could get the police called. Here, no one would be shocked by loud sounds or screaming coming from this building...if someone came out covered in plasma or limping, it could easily be explained away as a technical problem or an accident in a magicians' act. That would cut down on calls to police; which was wise in a small town with police that probably had nothing better to do than check on every call. Vampires could probably convince the police they saw nothing even if they did check... as long as the police were just humans. Then again, the witches probably wouldn't allow the criminals who served as their banking system to be shut down by the police. He looked forward to figuring out how this worked.

    They were both going in with colloidal silver in their plasma, Zelda seemed quite relieved although she lamented the vampires not being able to tell how willing she was to burn them. Rafael wasn't fooled; Zelda was assuring herself as much as she was assuring him that she could protect them with her magic. He was not worried. But he didn't believe in being sloppy; most criminals were opportunists; they were both still carrying death flowers and while he didn't expect any sort of fight, he was still armed to the teeth. If they made any kind of move, it would be against him. They probably wouldn't be that stupid...but Rafael had learned never to bet against stupiddity. His plans usually had a number of contingencies: he always had to have plans to use when things went awry. So, he expected no fight, but had a lot of options for starting or ending one.

    Zelda: "Come on, we're going in the back, I want them to see me coming. That way there will be someone in charge when we get there, even if they've been fighting it out all day. And because they don't know if I'm here to kill the person in charge, they're going to be really nice. Don't you worry, Twinkle Toes, they won't try anything!" Once again, he could tell she was still shaken...she was probably likely to be 'trigger happy' if these criminals were not careful. That made him nervous.

    Rafael: "I vould thyink not; evyen Lavyinia only trried because she vas byacked by anothyerr vitch. I yexpect they vill be qvite docyile, Zyelda. And the vampirres can't byite us vithout poisyenink themselfs, so as lonk as they arren't idiyots, ve should be fyine."

    msbxu9.jpg

    Zelda: "Open up, I've got diamonds and demands!" Zelda snapped at the hazel eyes that looked out the slot at them.

    Rafael: They were let in by a mumbling black haired woman in jeans, fingerless gloves, a black leather jacket and sneakers. She moved quietly; her sneakers didn't even squeak from the puddle of water at the door. A well practiced burglar. Rafael followed along behind Zelda. He lurked like a thug, watching and waiting, but he wasn't waiting for her orders, just appearing to; if there was a threat he'd catch it before she did; she was very fast, but Zelda did not think like a criminal. He noted three lurking humans hiding from them, one above them in a dark corner, the other lurking behind a curtain and the last squatted down under a desk. Rafael simply glared at each of them so they knew they were seen. None of them held weapons ready so he didn't need to do anything more. Thugs and lookouts cleaned walls and mopped the floors in every room they walked through...this was bad; at this time of night, these criminals should be out on the streets, not in the head quarters doing busywork; they really had been fighting it out. This organization was so vulnerable all their personnel had to be here in case the place was attacked by another criminal group while they were "reorganizing".

    They were led to a small room. Alice Fitzgerald sat on a couch with her boots kicked up on a rather scuffed up old coffee table, counting out money, with neat stacks of bills on the left side of her crossed boots and piles of heaped loose bills on the right, an empty steel safe beside her with the broken door hanging open. Her being a criminal...and fairly good at it didn't really surprise him. She smiled up at them apologetically; that smile was as much of an act as his sheepish pose he'd used on Miss Swain. Did Miss Fitzgerald already know he'd conned her? Or did she really think he had cheated with Deedee? Deedee wouldn't really be able to explain what happened without revealing that she was a witch... Miss Fitzgerald's eyes didn't shift to him at all, she was carefully not looking at him. Apparently, Deedee would rather her roommates think she had cheated with a married man than think that she'd been kidnapped because she was a witch... Just his luck. And he couldn't correct this without making things worse-he did not want to reward Deedee for saving his life by revealing her secret. But if Miss Fitzgerald ever tried to blackmail him...well, then he'd have to tell her to go ahead and try to tell his wife, the witch with "the terrible temper" as she was evidently referred to in town, that he had cheated with Deedee and see what happened to 'the messenger'. It was a bluff; what would actually happen is that Zelda would laugh and effortlessly ruin Deedee's hopes of remaining undiscovered as a witch...but it would look like a very bad idea and few criminals would dare. He'd look like a madman daring Miss Fitzgerald to get his wife to kill him, but he put Deedee in this situation in the first place, he would deal with the fallout.

    Alice Fitzgerald: "So, um, word on the street is you don't want to see vampires? Because if you're wanting to deal with just humans, then I'm the one you'll want to ..deal with, by which I mean, make deals with, not, you know, kill. Hopefully I've got enough money hostage here to not get burned just for trying?"

    Rafael: This was her begging for her life. Given the current state of the criminal organization, and given Zelda's reputation and power, this was wise. If she was at all threatening with Zelda, Miss Fitzgerald would be very dead, but she was using the right tools for the job.

    Zelda: "What do I care about money? I could burn everything on the table there and make you get me more. Get me your boss, vampire or not. The one that I'm going to burn if I don't get a decent, vampire free honeymoon in the tropics asap and/or if some human breaks into my house while I'm gone. I've got a bag of diamonds, I'm not ripping you off, but you guys attacked me, and while I totally toasted the one who did it, you lot want to make it up to me! You're supposed to serve us witches, not plumming attack us!"

    Alice Fitzgerald: "My poor, completely doomed boss. And on his first day in charge, too." She winced, then smiled wistfully. "It's a shame, he's smoking hot, are you sure you can't, you know, maybe just singe him a little? I know you're a witch and the world is your bon bon, but can't you maybe leave some of the hot ones around for the rest of us?" She pointedly looked at Rafael and then gave Zelda a pleading look.

    Zelda: "He hasn't failed me yet! Pretty sure he's got a fair chance of not dying."

    Rafael: He was amused, Zelda didn't even know she'd been talked down...he had to admire Miss Fitzgerald's handiwork. She didn't know for sure what he was to Zelda, but at the least he was 'smoking hot' to Zelda, so Miss Fitzgerald was playing off of that to garner sympathy. He could undo it if he chose to, but he didn't see any reason...he really didn't want to be in any position that involved him having to talk her down himself; that would give him away. He wanted to see his potential boss, co workers and future employees perform under stress before having to work with them. There were 3 reasons he could see that Miss Fitzgerald would risk this with Zelda...personal loyalty to her boss, more fear of her boss than of Zelda, or sheer daredevil recklessness to see what she could get away with. The first reason could be promising, the second would be bad for him and Zelda, the third would be a bad sign for working with Miss Fitzgerald in the future.

    A young vampire walked in to the room like a game show contestant, wearing a gray and white striped dress shirt, jeans and red dress shoes.
    He grinned sheepishly, he had black stylishly messy hair and playful brown eyes, it was hard to tell if he was just that smooth of a con man or honestly just felt awkward to be caught in this position. Rafael was glad not to be him at the moment: this was the worst time to be in charge...in fact, Rafael would be impressed if he was still alive when they got back from the honeymoon.

    111nrpz.jpg

    Vampire: "Pretty good chance of not dying? Well, that's a relief. I've been in charge roughly half an hour, if that. And I've still got guys who are confused on that point. I'm Dante Morganthe, not associated with Lavinia's Network. They've mostly killed each other or fled town. Even so, she was not fun to work for, let me tell you." He gave Rafael a knowing, sympathetic grin. "Zelda and Rafael Zolnikov, congratulations on your recent marriage, I will be happy to get you a honeymoon in the tropics as soon as possible! But I can't guarantee there are no vampires, any more than you could guarantee me there are no witches somewhere. You know we're not some big happy family! I can tell you it's really not a fun place to be for vampires, the weather isn't kind, we stand out like a sore thumb, a veiny pale sore thumb which does not tan, and um, it's basically really hard to hide a bite mark in a place where wearing a lot of clothes around your neck is...well strange. But despite all that, there are always those who will do things the hard way to prove they can, and that doesn't stop after they get turned into a vampire." He shrugged, spread his arms, palms up helplessly, 🐸🐸🐸🐸 his head to the side and smiled, probably his most disarming smile. "Gonna kill me?"

    Zelda: She laughed something that barely qualified as not a giggle and smiled a wary smile, with narrowed eyes. She did not want to like him. "Don't think so, keep talking, deathbreath."

    Rafael: The vampire could pronounce his last name...he had very little time to enjoy that fact. Zelda wasn't very good at hiding when she was sizing someone up as attractive and it was clear she was agreeing with Miss Fitzgerald's assessment of Mr. Morganthe as 'smoking hot'; the guy looked like a fashion model but her strong distrust of vampires caused her to shift uncomfortably because she figured he was trying to trick her with vampire charm. Of course, he couldn't, because Zelda had colloidal silver in her blood, so none of that would work, and he was just down to his natural and criminal trained charm, but Zelda clearly didn't remember that.

    Rafael told himself that he wasn't jealous because Mr. Morganthe could very easily be about to die a fiery death if he said the wrong thing. But Rafael was fighting off a scowl, his hands wanted to tighten into fists, his heart rate and breathing had increased the moment Zelda's eyes had landed on Mr. Morganthe and Rafael wanted this smug jerrk to say the wrong thing...so...really, factually, he was jealous, even if he didn't want to be. An unreasonable reaction, he reminded himself how completely out of luck Mr. Morganthe was if his wife decided she didn't like what he said, or, of course if even a medium sized rival criminal organization paid them a visit soon. His jealousy was also useless, as well as personally irritating. He couldn't do anything if Zelda decided she loved someone else.

    Dante Morganthe: His eyes shifted to Rafael as his heart and breathing increased, and he looked at Rafael for a good few minutes while he spoke. "Hey, man, ask anyone, I'm really good at arranging parties, I can get you two to the tropics-"

    Rafael: He tried not to be further annoyed. He'd hidden his face and even his hands' reaction...but there was no hiding a change in heart rate or breathing from a vampire. Mr. Morganthe could definitely tell when he'd reacted...Zelda had been looking him over... of course...they likely already knew he was under a love spell, he doubted that Lavinia kept that to herself. But by not looking jealous and visibly reacting to it on the surface...by automatically hiding it...he'd just inadvertently given himself away. Though he supposed he would rather his boss know he could be more useful than just a thug...he had preferred to size up the organization first, but he supposed he'd seen enough to get a good idea about it...supposing they survived long enough for this to be the same composition when he got back.

    Zelda: "Look, we don't need a plane. We need a location, some nice place to stay and apparently money oh and a car, at least one car...and it better be plumming beautiful."

    Dante Morganthe: He smiled magnanimously. "I will get it done for you! You'll be so spoiled rotten in the tropics you'll probably never want to leave!"

    Zelda: "Nice try, deathbreath, but we're totally coming back. So you'd better make sure no humans go breaking in, the last thing I want to do when we come back is have to clean burglar ghosts out of my house...and when we come back remember that my smoking hot human is going to come work with you losers...and he doesn't have to do it for money, because you know, diamonds...he's doing it for a hobby, because you know, humans have goals too."

    Rafael: He kept his face carefully blank as Mr. Morganthe smirked at him. Rafael wouldn't really refer to this as a hobby but he was, at this moment, just happy that Zelda did not tell them why he was planning on working for them; she would likely not understand him wanting to keep his desire for revenge against Konstantin Petrovich Ovechkin a secret, any more than she understood why he did not want to risk flying. Zelda was very bad at lying... he had more hope of it being overlooked if she blurted it out in just passing conversation without thinking it was important than if he took her aside and asked her to not mention it. He'd had to escape his last employer that found out they could sell him back to Russia and he certainly didn't want to start off with this one knowing who to call with anonymous tips as to his whereabouts.

    Dante Morganthe: "Oh, yes, humans have goals too, sometimes they even share them...I'm sure I'll come up with lots of fun things for him to do."

    Alice Fitzgerald: She grinned. "Yep, this is a great hobby. Robbing banks, driving get a way cars, blowing things up, it does not get old. Not a boring 9-5."

    Rafael: This was as much of the wrong foot as he could have started a job with criminals. He dared not correct Zelda, either, as he needed them to have the idea that she was totally in control and not in love with him. If they later figured it out, when he was indispensable to them, they'd never act on it, but if they figured it out without having any need of him, then he'd be a hostage used to control Zelda before he could stop it. And while a vampire couldn't bite him without getting sick and couldn't read his mind, he could still break his arms or legs with the relative ease of opening a can of soda. "Vell, I'm surre it can't alvays be cleanink the valls and floors, but I vould evyen hyelp you vyith this, if I verren't... rreqvirred yelsevherre. I look forrvarrd to vorrkink vith you."

    Zelda: "Yeah, blah blah blah, whatever. Trade cell phone numbers, boys and let's go home until deathbreath gets us this party in paradise."

    * * *

    Rafael: Zelda had ordered beautiful and she got beautiful Sunlit Tides, at around 28 degrees Celsius. 82.4 degrees Fahrenheit as far as Zelda and other Simericans were concerned. The air was so wet, like before a rainstorm but the sky was bright and clear. He had Mr. Morganthe's cell number in case there were any problems, and they'd been given an address where they'd be staying and where the car was. Zelda had teleported them to what she called the weather stone. It looked like a stone totem pole with turning parts....this one was behind Mick's Karaoke Bar by the beach. He hadn't realized Mick's was a chain that extended even as far as Sunlit Tides.

    An elderly surfer woman, caked in sand and with white salt clinging to her gray and black braids, carried her sandy surfboard under her arm, and stopped to stare at them. The older woman looked down at Rafael's black dress shoes. Would she notice they didn't leave any tracks, since they'd just appeared out of thin air? The old surfer laughed, told them they weren't tan enough to not be tourists, and gave them a quick lecture about tourists in mainland clothing getting heat stroke that hadn't even gotten heat stroke in the desert...because of the moisture in the air...that in the desert their sweat could evaporate and help cool them, but not in the tropics! The old woman was aggressively friendly, treating them like lost kids, she washed off at one of the outdoor showers standing ready behind the bar, and told them it was a good idea to wash off at the showers after swimming in the ocean, especially if they were going to go to any of the public pools, but even if they were just going home. Then she offered them a ride to get them to a clothing store and insisted they at the very least buy 'flip flops'...apparently a kind of sandal. She had an old rusty pick up truck. She explained that the salt water just ate cars and trucks. Zelda was excited to ride in the truck, which sat higher than the taxi had, and Rafael helped her up and helped her with the lap belt again. The older woman seemed to dismiss this behavior as him being extra helpful to his new bride and told him to remember to keep it up after the honeymoon too. The woman had dropped them off and continued down the road.

    Zelda: "Yeah, we're buying new clothes, there is no excuse for you having no summer clothes."

    Rafael: "I couldyint grrab a vhole varddrrobe on my vay out off Brridgeporrt." Zelda perhaps didn't understand he'd had to flee for his life or he'd be dead right now. He'd tried to explain, but perhaps she didn't appreciate how handy being able to teleport really was since she'd been able to do it for years now. He'd had to escape in cars and buses, and getting away from a criminal network trying to capture him while he fled from one half of the country to another was not easy, he'd had several close calls, and had to use every one of his criminal skills to escape. By contrast, Zelda had shown no more stress teleporting them across the sea to an island thousands of kilometers away than she did moving him from her basement to her bedroom. "Gettink avay alife vas the prrioryity at the tyime."

    Zelda: "Okay, but you're not getting out of it now! We're going shopping!"

    Rafael: Why did she seem to think he was trying to fight this off? Clothing choice was important; choosing the wrong clothes for the location or the job was sometimes quite dangerous. He did not want heat stroke, and he could already feel the sun's glare on his black pants, even though they were thinner than his purple undershirt, they were getting hotter, and his sweat was just sitting there. "I yam not objyectink. I vas goink to haf to shop forr clothes at some point anyvay."

    The color palette was quite different in the tropics. Everything seemed so blinding under the bright sunlight. He wished they'd come at night, or at least evening, but Zelda would not wait. Even the worry that they'd be seen teleporting in in broad daylight hadn't stopped her, her answer to that was 'what? I'm a witch, what are they going to do? I can turn them into a frog if they try to attack us.' But it had been okay. He'd been worried for nothing.

    He really hoped Zelda didn't want to sit down... that looked like it would be very uncomfortable...and if they hadn't been wearing pants perhaps sear any exposed flesh like a grill. But he'd lived in Egypt for a year, in an actual dessert, why did this feel so much hotter when it was definitely not? It was the humidity, and he was dressed wrong for it. He needed looser clothing.

    Zelda: "Okay, let's see what kinda crazy things we can get away with wearing because we're in the tropics!"

    Rafael: "Lightyerr colyorrs arre morre reflectif, so lightyer veight, lightyerr colorrs vith morre air cirrculyation should hyelp."

    Zelda: "Um, yeah. Yay, I can't wait to see you in less clothing!"

    Rafael: He laughed. He was already walking around in his undershirt, and yes, he would have to wear less clothing in this weather, but it didn't make sense that she was so excited about that. "Zyelda...did you forrgyet... you haf alrready seen me in the lyeast possyible numbyerr of clothes. Vhy arre you so excityed?"

    Zelda: "This is called fun, Twinkle Toes. Keep up!"

    My 'niggling health issue' turned out to be my asthma coming back with a vengeance. So I had to go get it taken care of, pronto. I'm back on asthma medication, including an inhaler and two different asthma/allergy pills.

    @Zabeth0 Welcome back! The contrast between the darkness and bleakness of snowy Moonlight Falls and the brightness of Sunlit Tides couldn't be more stark. I could see why Rafael would want to make himself scarce for awhile. Nice update.

    Back at University, where workaholic Kaydence is actually making an effort to have fun.

    p4n2YgZ.jpg

    But before she set off on her way, she decided to talk to Sierra via her secret poly-com, to tell her about all the alien abductions happening on campus. She also, curiously, decided to tell Sierra about her new classmate, Jana Soderlund from Aurora Skies.
    "Jana sounds nice," Sierra demurred.

    "That's just it," Kaydence thought, "I wonder if she's too nice."

    tgst87C.jpg

    Did I mention the sci-tech gathering this semester was at Kaydence's? And that it was a costume party? Yep. And Kaydence chose to come as an astronaut. (Seriously, I didn't pick that costume, she did. Or, more correctly, the game randomly chose it for her.)

    Students from the science and medicine and technology departments came dressed in costume. And some of them were completely unrecognizable.

    Including Jana. What was that???

    As a testament to Kaydence's skills (or lack thereof) in party throwing, the guests, including Millie the Mermaid, started yawning.

    Doctor Liz expressed her disapproval of a video game, and Kaydence expressed her disapproval of her. They didn't speak anymore the rest of the evening.

    As night fell and the party guests dispersed, Kaydence found herself where she'd always been - alone with her book.

    I've had a few issues with internet cutting out and we got thunderstorms before that so I had to not be on my computer for long when a storm hit.
    @Silverofdreams30 -Thanks for the comment.Great update!
    @lanlyn -The food truck is supposed to require a parking space though I changed the width of larking space required in Retuner from 3 spaced wide to 0 spaces wide.That enabled the food truck to be activated in NRaas Traffic.
    @venusdemilosims -I hate being sick.Great pictures!Great update!
    @Zabeth0 -Great update!

    @venusdemilosims Hope your asthma is doing better now. ...Interesting reading about Kaydence tracking down Aaron and learning all about his background. ...I like Jana's costume. Good look for her. And fun that Kaydence was given the astronaut suit!

    @Zabeth0 Good to see your posts again! The scenes in the criminal movie theater were great. Very tricky. Everyone sizing each other up, hiding motives. Verbal fencing. ...I love how Zelda calls Rafael Twinkle Toes. :#

    @TadOlson I've been toying with the idea of installing Traffic. But I don't understand some of the interactions. For example, does turning off the use of "cars" or "vehicles" also mean sims can't use bicycles or brooms?

    @Silverofdreams30 Hi there!

    It's been a while since my last post & the early release of my last house Luxorite on mediafire. I've been under the weather & RL work for the most part where I'm again not getting much day off. I never consider of doing this before but since I post in two similar threads that I will combine replies since I do copy & paste between PASC & WHIYSGT.

    Anyway let's get to replies!

    @emorrill, Thanks for your comment! :)

    @lanlyn, Yep it does make a romantic moment that people tend to do as it fits. As for the closet which I try to make it a walk-in style since women like to have their own. Thanks for the comments & feedback. Yeah, indeed I do like those paintings which it goes w/ my theme of the house & my sims.

    @TadOlson, Your welcome & thanks for your comment!

    @Zabeth0, Thanks for the comment!

    @venusdemilosims, Thanks for your comments & your welcome! Very nice updates!

    @PalmArrow, Thanks for your comment! Very nice updates & scenery pic!

    @king_of_simcity7, Thanks for your comment! Very nice update!

    @Celticgamer0, Thanks for your comment! Very funny pic!
