In a FIVE HOUR stint on The Sims 4 in order to get myself back into the game, (which was very successful), my sim, Frank DuPont, a music critic for The Guardian, managed to become enemies with his neighbours, the Ryosa family, in a 'loudness war' that eventually culminated in a fight in their bathroom. Unfortunately, they won the war, because I had to sell the 'Alexa stereo' because of a lack of money. Once we get the money, though, we're either moving out, or that stereo is going straight back in after the wedding.
He also went out on the town following a promotion to a solid role in The Guardian, and hooked up with Dina Caliente, after I decided to drop plans to hook up with Katrina - a wise choice I think I've made. Progress in the relationship was slow-going at first, as my sim had to make ends meet in his clapped-out apartment, learning the piano and hopping on over to Willow Creek to embezzle get tips from everyone. The apartment, as ever, kept falling apart all the while, and there was even a moment where I placed the electric piano (which I don't like the sound of) in the apartment, and it disappeared. I had to send my sim quickly to the nightclub to get the 'piano fund'. And of course, when he came back, the piano was just outside the bathroom!
Well, Frank and Dina have engaged each other after much intermittence, and moved in with each other - unfortunately, Dina brought no money with her from the Caliente household when she moved in, so her and Frank were still a JAM couple, barely breaking over a thousand simoleons at first. That's the sort of struggle that keeps me hooked on The Sims!
So today I played in the 2 married households in my current save, and up first is the Edgeworths:
Dahlia finally got promoted to Junior Tinkerer and celebrated with a night out on the town double-dating with hubby Miles, her sister Iris and Iris's official-in-all-but-name boyfriend Phoenix, and got hit on. Needless to say, Diego Lobo (Number one: he's married thanks to MCCC, so what the heck, dude?! Number two: what is it with romance and blokes called Diego in my game anyway?) got hit. And not in the romantic way. Oh no. More in the sassy, "I HAVE A HUSBAND YOU UNUTTERABLE DIRTBAG" kind of way. So that happened, then normal routine stuff, skip to after work the next day.
So Doctor Edgeworth Junior (that's Miles, by the way) hears his wife come in from work, and asks if she wants dinner. She says no, she ate at work (gotta love the UI Cheats Extension). So he just has dinner with his ol' dad and then goes upstairs to his bedroom to, I dunno, read a book or something, 'cuz dealing with noxious diseases and obnoxious Sims all day is hecka stressful.
His wife's sitting there in... ahem, not very much, ready and willing to help him de-stress. So their first time happened.
After that, it was another boring day of work for the Edgeworth couple, leaving dad to chill down the pub with his daughter-in-law's auntie (who as an aspiring Friend of the World, is always down the pub).
I then got bored and switched to Mia. She also got promoted, this time to Fundraising Specialist (stay in school, kids. When I realized she was at level 6 already, I wondered "how in the heck?!" before realising she was an A student and so already started several rungs up the career ladder). To celebrate, she got the old gang back together at Discothèque Pan Europa, where they tore up the dance floor and drank Simsmapolitans until the wee small hours of the morning (not helped by Diego's insistence on snogging her every five minutes. This is exactly what I was ranting about!). So they go home and take a nap, eat breakfast and go to work, leaving máma to paint another masterpiece. So they come home, have dinner, and then Diego goes out to secure some votes.
Now, this is where it gets interesting. See, after many unsuccessful tries, Diego finally managed to squeeze a vote out of Darling Walsh. The problem is, he had to make some hollow promises to do it. And this guy absolutely draws the line at lying to his voters. A line he's now crossed. CRISIS OF CONSCIENCE INCOMING
So yeah. WooHoo, lies and promotions happened in my game today.
Since Grandma Ysenia is old as dirt and all alone Sapphire decided to invite her mother to move in.
Ysenia: "Don't worry dear, I'm sure I'll have a great time here. It'll give me a chance to spend some more time with the grandkids."
Until they both asked her to help them with their homework at once.
Later that night, Ace challenged Clint to a dunk competition.
Clint - Failure.
Ace - Success.
And that looks like it's going to hurt.
Meanwhile the angry ghost known as Malcolm Landgraab showed up again, however this time his former wife was there to cheer him up....In the way only she can.
It's been a long while since these two have done this.
And here comes Ace's birthday. He's a young adult now!
Ace: "Wow, I'm suddenly more buff."
Ysenia: "Sapphire, I have made sweet woo hoo with your ghost father."
Sapphire: "That's.....not what I wanted to hear."
Clint: "So when you moving out?"
Ace: "Dad, I don't even start my first day of work until tomorrow."
So since Ysenia's clock is ticking away Ximena thought, why not throw a party for her grandma?
Just think of it as a very morbid going away party.
Oh how nice, Ysenia's youngest daughter is about to have a baby! Too bad Ysenia will be dead before this baby shows up. Great timing Natasha!
Oh and the younger ones were all eating at the table, so Shredder did his best begging he can do.
Ysenia: "Need a good strong drink sonny."
Clint: "Seriously laddies, can you give me a minute to breathe? I've been working the bar all night."
Well we know what that gesture means.
Shredder gives a nice hearty awoo in honor of Ysenia.
Not a dry eye in this household....at least until Ximena gets over here. She started coming down with the flu and took some medicine, she should be here any-.
XIMENA?! ARE YOU DANCING OVER GRANDMA'S DEAD BODY?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!
Grim: "Yeah seriously, that's pretty messed up girl."
Ximena: "One second, I'll mourn after I get a selfie."
Grim: "It's kind of a shame, I actually liked Ysenia. She had a funny way of reacting to death....Looks like Ximena takes after grandma."
Way behind on my posting, I'm about 3 families removed from my last post. I've already moved most of the screenshots to the dump folder where they're waiting to be sorted into each family album, so I've only got a few from the last few days. Anyway the Edwards' aged up & moved out their 3 other teens & went camping with the two little girls they have left at home. Then I integrated two more households from another save that I'm merging into this one. First the Forresters, they landed in Newcrest, but then moved to San Myshuno. Their toddler girl aged up to a child & doesn't yet know that her best friend is an alien.
Then the Goodsons, they first settled in Windenburg, but then moved to Forgotten Hollow. Cristal gave birth to a boy, Levi, who loves to imitate the cat.
Their cat got sick, and I think was little more concerned about this bizarre looking vet then the shot he was about to get.
Now I'm up to the Hanover family, all their toddlers aged up to children.
The boys appear to have formed a secret club.
Becky's kind of a nerd who actually likes doing school work. She's probably the only child I have who always does it autonomously. Maybe she's the one I should have named Hermione.
Tracey's been on a baking binge lately, so the family's been eating a steady diet of donuts & cupcakes. She's going back to work now that the kids are in school & decided to join the art critic career, mainly because I don't have anyone in that career right now.
My sim got in a fight with her neighbour today! They started out on good terms but the neighbour is very hotheaded, and Isabel tends to be a little mean...
We have a cat butt in the family now.
Maisie adopted "Kipper", which is an unacceptable name for a Bombay. He is now "Soot". And gets along wonderfully with everyone.
Scarlett lost her footing on the climbing wall, while Maisie is getting even better at throwing round things into baskets.
As you all can see both Maisie and her now wife(!) has changed up their styles somewhat.
Speaking of, they didn't want a big wedding, they just married on the balcony and celebrating their union by... looking at the stars in their underwear right by the sidewalk? While Scarlett is being abducted for the second time in the back yard?
Jumping forward a few days... The Yoga class is a success! Though the whole floating meditation thing can be tricky.
Maisie is practicing her photography on her mom's friends.
Sometimes they're borderline inappropriate...? Not sure if her better half would like her models looking like that.
Scarlett and Diego had their first date in ages. It went very well.
In fact it went "wohooing spontaneously in a public hot tub" well.
So I spent a lot of time on the sims the last couple days. Had a couple birthdays too and the Briar Rose clinic is now open for business. They have three tables, one for each vet and a surgery station. Three star reviews so far. The other two vets are Aurora's sister Arianna and their cousin Leila Hemsworth.
Aurora and Philip also had a third child, a daughter named Belle, the heir to the 7th generation. Now that the kids are in school all day I might have them and Philip come to the clinic afterwards. They can build up their skills and do their homework and their dad will be there to help. Once Belle ages up she will be working at the clinic and living there, in a little upstairs apartment I am going to build. Or I may sell this clinic and buy the Pawspital in BB. Now time for some pictures.
Camden is a teen now. He aged up chunky and I didn't like the way he looked so I got the insta-lean and he has some fitness points.
Zander as a child.
Belle Darian Rhodes. Her hair will be changed once she is YA. My plan with her is she is only going to have one child then she will pass before the child is a teen.
The Briar Rose Clinic so far.
(Top left to bottom right)Edur Zahrah, Cinderella, Tiana, Pocahantas, Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Emerson, Nicole, Traci, Addisyn
So after the morbid going away party, Ysenia was buried in the backyard next to her husband. Man, never thought I could say that sentence with a straight face.
Oh so after meeting a few times I think it's easy to say that Ximena and The Reaper are BFF's Forever now.
So then Ximena decided to complain about her parents to her BFF forever.
Grim: "You know, if you're having parental troubles I can uhh, help you out with that girlfriend."
Ximena: "No no, I'm fine. Parents don't need to go anywhere."
Grim: "Coolio, I'll be back next week for our spa day!"
So Ace got a job in the professional sports career!...........As a mascot. He's gotta start somewhere! He should start working out more, he can't go into work all scrawny and stuff.
So then I saved and quit my game and came back a little later and now suddenly Ace is completely ripped?! How does this happen?
Aww how responsible, Ximena's cleaning up all the dirty dishes from last night's party....even though we have a maid for that....
Ace: "Now that I'm ripped to the max it's time to use my new muscle mass to play some video games."
Sapphire wanted to see what her wacky talking robot is going to say today!
Robot: "You're in your 40's, stop playing with me."
Ace took the dog for a walk, mainly because he wanted to show off his new body.
Shredder wasn't complaining.
Meanwhile Ace is finally going off to his first day of work. Living his dream of being in the NBA, as a mascot. But still, in the NBA.
And Clint went off to work as well!
Shredder: "Good riddance!"
Sapphire: "Ace, what's with the costume?"
Ace: "I'm living my dream Mom, living my dream."
Dinner time!....Looks like there's a little struggle here.
Clint: "Ace, do you have to wear that thing at the table?"
Ace: "I'M LIVING MY DREAM DAD! LET ME DREAM!"
While Ximena mourns her grandparents Ace dreams big in his backyard.
Here it comes.....
And there's the Money shot!
Meanwhile there's bad news, Shredder's an elder now.
Oh god, he looks so old.
Now Sapphire feeds her little Shredder his old man food.
And also, just realized that Sapphire and Ximena have the same pajama pants....
Hiya. There have been some really brilliant screenshots in this thread!
I've not been playing Sims 4 for very long but was admittedly quite disappointed to see that things like insect and frog vivariums don't fit on shelves, so I've been experimenting with build mode to find a way to make them "appear" to be on the shelves. To be fair, I love the improvements elsewhere in the game so am not complaining and I think I might have found a way around the shelf thing, I just need to make sure the house doesn't explode when in active play.
The house belongs to my sim-self who is an avid insect and frog collector, and it's meant to be a small, cosy, cluttered space. Definitely a work in progress.
For a change, I switched families this time, checking up on Claire, Fayre, Lucie and Wolfgang . Fayre is now a teen while her sister is still a child and Fayre,much like her mum wants her own kids when she's older. In 1 day, Wolfgang will be an elder.
I moved them into a new home back in Wolfgang's childhood area located in Widenburg so that he can be nearer to his brothers, who have got married and have children of their own.
My sim Isabel got yet another promotion in the Comedian career! (Now Lvl 6: Solid Storyteller.) To celebrate, she invited some friends down to her local Lounge for drinks and dancing!
She also had a very successful date with Beejey Romero! The pair had a great time at the local Karaoke Lounge.
She also achieved level 10 in the Comedy skill!
Clint's newfound addiction to video games has gotten out of control, now he's sneaking into Ace's room when he's asleep to play biblock. You have a problem Clint!
Piper and Ximena are getting a lot closer, mostly due to Piper's newfound love for Chess and Ximena just kind of joining in out of boredom. It's either that or paint and she's been painting some real duds recently.
And despite giving up on her musical dream early on to focus on becoming a doctor Sapphire decided to pick up the Piano....not actually pick up the piano....she can't lift that thing.
Meanwhile Ace's girlfriend Genesis moved in.
Sapphire: "Wait....moved in? Ace is supposed to be moving OUT."
Sapphire is making sure to spend as much time as she can for the old man dog. He's old.
Oh we'll give Ace and Genesis some time alone here.
Ximena SHOULD probably take a shower, but she needs to get that painting skill up.
Oh and Shredder wants to play fetch. She'll make time for the dog.
So Ace is no longer a mascot, he got promoted! Now he's a cheerleader. He has to practice his dancing if he wants to get the big wig's attention.....man the requirements to be a Sportsball player in this world are pretty messed up.
Clint: "Now my son is a cheerleader, can this get any worse?"
Ace: "Not just any cheerleader dad, I'm captain of the cheerleader team!"
Genesis isn't complaining much. He's making money....kinda.
Ace: "Dad, get out of my room! Genesis and I are busy!"
A normal morning in this household.
Well since Genesis moved in and knows....nothing about Ace's family she decided that she should try to get to know them better.
Shredder demands attention at all times these days.
Oh and Genesis has gotten into the work force as well. Working in the Writer's career. Writing her first book, it's going well.
Nothing to see here, just Ximena getting flirty while watching a romantic movie while Sapphire plays with her dolls. The usual.
After publishing her first book Genesis seems to be coming down with something.
Good thing mother in law is a doctor and can prescribe the good stuff to you right away.
Meanwhile Ximena and Sapphire officially welcomed Genesis into the family....with Video Game time!
In other news, Piper is now a teenager, they grow up so fast.
Oh lord, Angry Ghost Grandma is here. And unfortunately no one can cheer her up the way she cheered up angry Ghost Grandpa! They're doomed!
Oh, AND she stepped in the dog's mess. Can the afterlife get any worse for Ysenia?!
Had to stop and give out awesomes I have a new save with a few new sims.
Buddy's look says he wonders if they'll ever learn to take their love inside...not like they have neighbors who'd care ha.
Got them busy for their first day of work Camilla and ....just blanked on his name, had a brief freeze where they do nothing, reset Supriya who got stuck in the welcome wagon, after a bit he was fine then Camilla was fine. Not sure what happened there but you know how the sim code goes new stuff get's attitude with old stuff. It was okay though not as bad as the old 8am school bug.
I was feeling immature and found it funny this dog's name was Booger.
Searching through pockets she found fifty simoleans...he was holding out on her, for shame.
ha.
He really hates the stereo but I like the music.
Still I had Camilla get him out of the house before work.
Her man is pretty, wonder what their kids will look like.
Moving on, this is Lily just took over Catarina's old house.
Early morning chores.
The sim I created with her decided to come over and welcome her, he's a loner so he was having a hard time with this unknown woman but at least he tried. This is Grayson, now his name I remember.
He's pretty too ha.
I let him cool off for a bit while she finished what interrupted, I took another pic but I don't have to use that see the water does have to be changed.
She had other things to do so he pretty much just got to hang out by himself haven't set up his house how I want it yet.
Reddestiny921 on the gallery...still not sure if I capitalized the second d..lol
All the sims err'day
First, we start with Art getting abducted right after work. Fortunately, he did not get impregnated, but he was not too happy after.
Conrad had gotten a few more notches on his belt, so to speak, by slaying Miss Hell and Baby Doll
Sara aged into an elder yet refuses to be turned into a vampire. “I love you too much for you to die, My Love.”
“Nonsense, I would make a sad excuse for a vampire and you know it. Besides, if I were to remain as a vampire would that not interfere with your plans?” Sara smirked. “Oh yes, I have an idea what you are up to, but not to worry, I shan’t tell Conrad. I love you too much to spoil your fun.”
“Oh, Grimmie Dear. I did not expect to see you here so soon. Business or pleasure?”
“Business as usual, Vampiress. Your grandson keeps me far too busy for much else. My Gamerscore is suffering from it.”
“Nonsense, Grimmie. Have a seat and make yourself at home. You are practically family. As many times as you are here, you might as well get to know everyone.”
Grim released a groan yet sat. “I mustn’t remain long. Oh, look… if it isn’t my overtime.”
Conrad sighs and takes a seat. “This is not awkward at all, Gran.”
“One big happy family.” Alyssa grinned.
Like most children, Alina still must attend school, but she seemed to have brought home a snack… erm… a friend.
“Nah, you were right the first time. She was a snack. Tasty too, might have to keep her around.”
Conrad had seen this and knew it was due to his grandmother’s teaching and had confronted her. Soon she sat down beside Alina. “Alina, dear, you shouldn’t force a mortal to feed you… at least not in front of your brother. He is going through a… special moment in his life and we must play along until the time is right.”
“Okay, Gran, I promise.”
The next night, Conrad faced another foe.
“You have no chance against me, Boy!” Queenie boasted. “I am undefeated and not even Vladislaus dares to challenge me. I shall enjoy displaying your urn upon my hearth!”
“I forgot to mention that I have yet to be defeated. Eat garlic!” Conrad made quick work of the snowy vampires, adding another urn to his collection.
Slayers gonna slay
“You know, Grimmie, we mustn’t stop meeting like this.”
“If your spawn would desist in slaying his own kind then we would not.”
Alyssa giggles. “I know, isn’t it fun?”
“Not entirely.”
Conrad normally would take a small breather to replenish his supplies, but when he noticed this vampire, he could not resist.
“Seriously? Who are you trying to hunt in that outfit? I could handle the shirt and trousers, but those shoes…”
“You don’t like? Wait until you see my dark form!”
“Yeah… now I know I will be doing you a favour by slaying you.”
But Conrad had lost and had to listen to Mr. Sandals gloat.
“I am more powerful than you, puny boy. You bow to me now.”
Conrad could not believe the loss he suffered, but he was not defeated yet. There was more than one way to slay a vampire.
Having tricked the cocky fashion disaster of a vampire into the cage, Conrad walked away victorious.
“Enjoy the sunrise, Mister Sandals.”
Was playing with one of my rotational families and just got them a dog. Though while I was moving the camera away from the house I caught these two just outside on the sidewalk getting into it.
I had too a printscreen, since you wouldn't be able to see the speech bubble above Nancy's head. It was too funny I just had to screen shot it. Can imagine Nancy telling her how trashy she dresses and being a mother on top of that.
Katrina Caliente is trash because Nancy said so. Haha~ Battle of the milfs.
The next morning Genesis was getting ready for her first day of work....and was having one of her early morning moods.
After some perking up (she's still gonna be moody once that happy moodlet from being outside wears off) Genesis goes off to her first day of work.
Piper spends the few hours before school focusing on her logic skill with that chess table.
Dancing isn't the only thing that'll get Ace further in his career, he still has to focus on his sportsball skill as well. And boy is he getting better with each passing day.
Then he takes a break from that to go take a dip in the pool....I mean what's the point of having a rich people pool if you're not going to use it?
Ace welcomes Genesis back from her first day of work, since the two both share the "Loves the Outdoors" trait they spent some time outside today.
Ace: "And if you look over there you can see the planet that my great-great grandfather came from."
Genesis: "How can you even see it in broad daylight."
Ace: "It's space, that planet is somewhere out there."
Shredder: "Oh boy is my favorite human home?"
Shredder: "Oh, it's just you. I pee in your general direction!"
And then Ace and Genesis met on the highest mountain top and partook in sexual combat.
Sapphire: "I don't need to know why you two are in your underwear at this time of the day."
Ximena: "You might be wondering why I brought the remote into the kitchen with me, but there's no explanation really."
Also, speaking of which, Ximena's birthday is today! Now she's a young adult.
Ximena: "You, me, bed, now."
Ximena said, now ready to also partake in the sexual combat with her boyfriend for the first time.
Next day Sapphire and Genesis just had a slice of one of the many cakes they have in the refrigerator....hmm, perhaps this is the reason all the women in this family are so big.
Clint: "Well would you look at that, I broke the sink again!"
So Ximena had some cake as well. Might as well.
That was until Casey came over with his breakfast.
Ximena: "Wait, you're telling me there was more than just cake in that fridge?! I feel sick...Wait that's not right."
Ximena: "Well....it wouldn't hurt to take a tes-"
Ximena: "Well...........that's not a good sign."
I sent my sim on a date at the lighthouse and all of a sudden her childhood dog who has recently passed away show up and totally ruined her date. She wasn't able to focus on anything else besides the ghost dog wandering the grounds crying. I think the guy will never call her again, it was a rough night for Arya.
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw If you've a ready mind, where those of wit and learning will always find their kind

Once Belle ages up she will be working at the clinic and living there, in a little upstairs apartment I am going to build. Or I may sell this clinic and buy the Pawspital in BB. Now time for some pictures.
Camden is a teen now. He aged up chunky and I didn't like the way he looked so I got the insta-lean and he has some fitness points.
Zander as a child.
Belle Darian Rhodes. Her hair will be changed once she is YA. My plan with her is she is only going to have one child then she will pass before the child is a teen.
The Briar Rose Clinic so far.

Oh so after meeting a few times I think it's easy to say that Ximena and The Reaper are BFF's Forever now.
So then Ximena decided to complain about her parents to her BFF forever.
Grim: "You know, if you're having parental troubles I can uhh, help you out with that girlfriend."
Ximena: "No no, I'm fine. Parents don't need to go anywhere."
Grim: "Coolio, I'll be back next week for our spa day!"
So Ace got a job in the professional sports career!...........As a mascot. He's gotta start somewhere! He should start working out more, he can't go into work all scrawny and stuff.
So then I saved and quit my game and came back a little later and now suddenly Ace is completely ripped?! How does this happen?
Aww how responsible, Ximena's cleaning up all the dirty dishes from last night's party....even though we have a maid for that....
Ace: "Now that I'm ripped to the max it's time to use my new muscle mass to play some video games."
Sapphire wanted to see what her wacky talking robot is going to say today!
Robot: "You're in your 40's, stop playing with me."
Ace took the dog for a walk, mainly because he wanted to show off his new body.
Shredder wasn't complaining.
Meanwhile Ace is finally going off to his first day of work. Living his dream of being in the NBA, as a mascot. But still, in the NBA.
And Clint went off to work as well!
Shredder: "Good riddance!"
Sapphire: "Ace, what's with the costume?"
Ace: "I'm living my dream Mom, living my dream."
Dinner time!....Looks like there's a little struggle here.
Clint: "Ace, do you have to wear that thing at the table?"
Ace: "I'M LIVING MY DREAM DAD! LET ME DREAM!"
While Ximena mourns her grandparents Ace dreams big in his backyard.
Here it comes.....
And there's the Money shot!
Meanwhile there's bad news, Shredder's an elder now.
Oh god, he looks so old.
Now Sapphire feeds her little Shredder his old man food.
And also, just realized that Sapphire and Ximena have the same pajama pants....
I've not been playing Sims 4 for very long but was admittedly quite disappointed to see that things like insect and frog vivariums don't fit on shelves, so I've been experimenting with build mode to find a way to make them "appear" to be on the shelves. To be fair, I love the improvements elsewhere in the game so am not complaining and I think I might have found a way around the shelf thing, I just need to make sure the house doesn't explode when in active play.
The house belongs to my sim-self who is an avid insect and frog collector, and it's meant to be a small, cosy, cluttered space. Definitely a work in progress.
Wolfgang and Lucie
For a change, I switched families this time, checking up on Claire, Fayre, Lucie and Wolfgang . Fayre is now a teen while her sister is still a child and Fayre,much like her mum wants her own kids when she's older. In 1 day, Wolfgang will be an elder.
I moved them into a new home back in Wolfgang's childhood area located in Widenburg so that he can be nearer to his brothers, who have got married and have children of their own.
New Begin
Had a welcome wagon today when the family moved in. Claire getting up to mischief today, no responsibility whatsoever
2 days until Claire's birthday, while the dad was at work, Lucie spent some time with her girls that evening. Sofia, one of the neigbours, stuck around and played some music on her guitair.
Homework done, the girls settled in for the night. Wolfgang becomes an elder today, so while he could they had their fifth childon the night of his birthday.
Fifth Child on the way and Wolfgang is now an elder.Had a tense Fayre, good thing its now the weekends. Aged up Claire seeing as she has one more day left until her birthday
Wolfgang
Screenshot from today's update
Claire
Wolfgang off to work and Fayre visiting her other familly members. Will see what happens in the next update.
She also had a very successful date with Beejey Romero! The pair had a great time at the local Karaoke Lounge.
She also achieved level 10 in the Comedy skill!
Piper and Ximena are getting a lot closer, mostly due to Piper's newfound love for Chess and Ximena just kind of joining in out of boredom. It's either that or paint and she's been painting some real duds recently.
And despite giving up on her musical dream early on to focus on becoming a doctor Sapphire decided to pick up the Piano....not actually pick up the piano....she can't lift that thing.
Meanwhile Ace's girlfriend Genesis moved in.
Sapphire: "Wait....moved in? Ace is supposed to be moving OUT."
Sapphire is making sure to spend as much time as she can for the old man dog. He's old.
Oh we'll give Ace and Genesis some time alone here.
Ximena SHOULD probably take a shower, but she needs to get that painting skill up.
Oh and Shredder wants to play fetch. She'll make time for the dog.
So Ace is no longer a mascot, he got promoted! Now he's a cheerleader. He has to practice his dancing if he wants to get the big wig's attention.....man the requirements to be a Sportsball player in this world are pretty messed up.
Clint: "Now my son is a cheerleader, can this get any worse?"
Ace: "Not just any cheerleader dad, I'm captain of the cheerleader team!"
Genesis isn't complaining much. He's making money....kinda.
Ace: "Dad, get out of my room! Genesis and I are busy!"
A normal morning in this household.
Well since Genesis moved in and knows....nothing about Ace's family she decided that she should try to get to know them better.
Shredder demands attention at all times these days.
Oh and Genesis has gotten into the work force as well. Working in the Writer's career. Writing her first book, it's going well.
Nothing to see here, just Ximena getting flirty while watching a romantic movie while Sapphire plays with her dolls. The usual.
After publishing her first book Genesis seems to be coming down with something.
Good thing mother in law is a doctor and can prescribe the good stuff to you right away.
Meanwhile Ximena and Sapphire officially welcomed Genesis into the family....with Video Game time!
In other news, Piper is now a teenager, they grow up so fast.
Oh lord, Angry Ghost Grandma is here. And unfortunately no one can cheer her up the way she cheered up angry Ghost Grandpa! They're doomed!
Oh, AND she stepped in the dog's mess. Can the afterlife get any worse for Ysenia?!
Also, gotta admit, i giggled a bit at "You're in your 40's, stop playing with me".
Just vibing...
Check out my stories The Diversity Club and Lost Pride here on the forums!
Belle as a teen. I figure since she is going to be an author she needs to look the part.
I just love the outfit I picked out for her.
Aurora aged up...
Then promptly died of over exertion woohooing in a rocket with her deceased husband. Thankfully the kids weren't there.
The kids now under control of their brother, Cam, decided to turn the downstairs bathroom into a dining room. I like how it turned out.
Cam, who is a special agent like his bio dad Gordon Bollinger, lives in his parents room now. He got all new furniture.

Buddy's look says he wonders if they'll ever learn to take their love inside...not like they have neighbors who'd care ha.
Got them busy for their first day of work Camilla and ....just blanked on his name, had a brief freeze where they do nothing, reset Supriya who got stuck in the welcome wagon, after a bit he was fine then Camilla was fine. Not sure what happened there but you know how the sim code goes new stuff get's attitude with old stuff. It was okay though not as bad as the old 8am school bug.
I was feeling immature and found it funny this dog's name was Booger.
Searching through pockets she found fifty simoleans...he was holding out on her, for shame.
ha.
He really hates the stereo but I like the music.
Still I had Camilla get him out of the house before work.
Her man is pretty, wonder what their kids will look like.
Moving on, this is Lily just took over Catarina's old house.
Early morning chores.
The sim I created with her decided to come over and welcome her, he's a loner so he was having a hard time with this unknown woman but at least he tried. This is Grayson, now his name I remember.
He's pretty too ha.
I let him cool off for a bit while she finished what interrupted, I took another pic but I don't have to use that see the water does have to be changed.
She had other things to do so he pretty much just got to hang out by himself haven't set up his house how I want it yet.
All the sims err'day
Vatore
First, we start with Art getting abducted right after work. Fortunately, he did not get impregnated, but he was not too happy after.
Conrad had gotten a few more notches on his belt, so to speak, by slaying Miss Hell and Baby Doll
Sara aged into an elder yet refuses to be turned into a vampire. “I love you too much for you to die, My Love.”
“Nonsense, I would make a sad excuse for a vampire and you know it. Besides, if I were to remain as a vampire would that not interfere with your plans?” Sara smirked. “Oh yes, I have an idea what you are up to, but not to worry, I shan’t tell Conrad. I love you too much to spoil your fun.”
“Oh, Grimmie Dear. I did not expect to see you here so soon. Business or pleasure?”
“Business as usual, Vampiress. Your grandson keeps me far too busy for much else. My Gamerscore is suffering from it.”
“Nonsense, Grimmie. Have a seat and make yourself at home. You are practically family. As many times as you are here, you might as well get to know everyone.”
Grim released a groan yet sat. “I mustn’t remain long. Oh, look… if it isn’t my overtime.”
Conrad sighs and takes a seat. “This is not awkward at all, Gran.”
“One big happy family.” Alyssa grinned.
Like most children, Alina still must attend school, but she seemed to have brought home a snack… erm… a friend.
“Nah, you were right the first time. She was a snack. Tasty too, might have to keep her around.”
Conrad had seen this and knew it was due to his grandmother’s teaching and had confronted her. Soon she sat down beside Alina. “Alina, dear, you shouldn’t force a mortal to feed you… at least not in front of your brother. He is going through a… special moment in his life and we must play along until the time is right.”
“Okay, Gran, I promise.”
The next night, Conrad faced another foe.
“You have no chance against me, Boy!” Queenie boasted. “I am undefeated and not even Vladislaus dares to challenge me. I shall enjoy displaying your urn upon my hearth!”
“I forgot to mention that I have yet to be defeated. Eat garlic!” Conrad made quick work of the snowy vampires, adding another urn to his collection.
Slayers gonna slay
“You know, Grimmie, we mustn’t stop meeting like this.”
“If your spawn would desist in slaying his own kind then we would not.”
Alyssa giggles. “I know, isn’t it fun?”
“Not entirely.”
Conrad normally would take a small breather to replenish his supplies, but when he noticed this vampire, he could not resist.
“Seriously? Who are you trying to hunt in that outfit? I could handle the shirt and trousers, but those shoes…”
“You don’t like? Wait until you see my dark form!”
“Yeah… now I know I will be doing you a favour by slaying you.”
But Conrad had lost and had to listen to Mr. Sandals gloat.
“I am more powerful than you, puny boy. You bow to me now.”
Conrad could not believe the loss he suffered, but he was not defeated yet. There was more than one way to slay a vampire.
Having tricked the cocky fashion disaster of a vampire into the cage, Conrad walked away victorious.
“Enjoy the sunrise, Mister Sandals.”
I had too a printscreen, since you wouldn't be able to see the speech bubble above Nancy's head. It was too funny I just had to screen shot it. Can imagine Nancy telling her how trashy she dresses and being a mother on top of that.
Katrina Caliente is trash because Nancy said so. Haha~ Battle of the milfs.
Got some adorable pictures of my sims and their dog before they welcome their new addition.
After some perking up (she's still gonna be moody once that happy moodlet from being outside wears off) Genesis goes off to her first day of work.
Piper spends the few hours before school focusing on her logic skill with that chess table.
Dancing isn't the only thing that'll get Ace further in his career, he still has to focus on his sportsball skill as well. And boy is he getting better with each passing day.
Then he takes a break from that to go take a dip in the pool....I mean what's the point of having a rich people pool if you're not going to use it?
Ace welcomes Genesis back from her first day of work, since the two both share the "Loves the Outdoors" trait they spent some time outside today.
Ace: "And if you look over there you can see the planet that my great-great grandfather came from."
Genesis: "How can you even see it in broad daylight."
Ace: "It's space, that planet is somewhere out there."
Shredder: "Oh boy is my favorite human home?"
Shredder: "Oh, it's just you. I pee in your general direction!"
And then Ace and Genesis met on the highest mountain top and partook in sexual combat.
Sapphire: "I don't need to know why you two are in your underwear at this time of the day."
Ximena: "You might be wondering why I brought the remote into the kitchen with me, but there's no explanation really."
Also, speaking of which, Ximena's birthday is today! Now she's a young adult.
Ximena: "You, me, bed, now."
Ximena said, now ready to also partake in the sexual combat with her boyfriend for the first time.
Next day Sapphire and Genesis just had a slice of one of the many cakes they have in the refrigerator....hmm, perhaps this is the reason all the women in this family are so big.
Clint: "Well would you look at that, I broke the sink again!"
So Ximena had some cake as well. Might as well.
That was until Casey came over with his breakfast.
Ximena: "Wait, you're telling me there was more than just cake in that fridge?! I feel sick...Wait that's not right."
Ximena: "Well....it wouldn't hurt to take a tes-"
Ximena: "Well...........that's not a good sign."
