    Well, he took the plunge and decided to run the bar. He's given it a little make over as well. It might even look recognisable now to some of you!

    I am not playing my game. Instead, I dumped all my old CC and I am rebuilding it again with the stuff I used the most.
    But I did take a look at past pictures and I began reminiscing over past fun game play.
    And if you keep reading, you get to reminisce with me.

    It was more of a play-test, and some here might remember it.
    I had created a custom career for fashion models and I was testing the mod out. I had two young sims just starting in their career and sharing an apartment.
    06-26-22_6-17-52_PM_qLvcnKfcML57htWDLJkER3.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
    But before that, I was taking pictures for images that would show in the career choice UI.
    06-28-22_5-29-47_PM_mbSvMgvCs3SjuXT1Gb2Wo2.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    I built all of this just for that one shot.
    This was for the Commercial Model career branch image. I had fun setting this all up.
    06-28-22_5-36-18_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    I had to decide what objects would be given as career reward objecs.
    06-27-22_3-43-14_PM_xpBhAo6h6VcKkRAarJzR2c.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    They could even earn some high-end appliances.
    06-27-22_3-43-23_PM_j8vASzvYG4Beiqrwcmfjc8.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    These two are starting at the bottom of the career and living in a really crummy apartment.
    06-26-22_10-24-01_PM_x2kvQcZvaZzULtoYe71M4c.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    It was bit complex getting all the ID numbers for outfits that I want to use as career outfits, but I was glad I did.
    The first level is working as food and drink sample servers at the local grocery store.
    06-30-22_12-37-16_PM_mWTSaCKeh3RXzUcSou9BDT.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    Fitness skill is required for this career.
    They spend a lot of time at the gym and spa.
    06-30-22_4-22-52_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    I think these are third level outfits. Second level are much nicer as they would be spritzing perfume at a posh clothing store.
    This level they are working as support staff at a modeling agency.
    06-30-22_4-19-55_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    Next Level.
    06-30-22_3-01-21_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
    The also spend after-work hours doing Karaoke.
    06-30-22_3-38-55_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    Who knows, as a commercial model they might be required to sing.
    And they might want to switch to an acting career in the future.
    06-30-22_3-37-28_PM_r7rjdMvrKoPRyfofuit9uJ.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    They are finally out of that horrible apartment.
    07-01-22_9-19-11_AM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    Fitness, Karaoke, and Yoga.
    07-03-22_1-21-22_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    I think they should celebrate their climb up the ladder.
    07-01-22_1-17-32_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    Buy buying their way in to the VIP lounge.
    07-01-22_4-43-38_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    That has no VIPs.
    07-01-22_4-44-30_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    Oh well, at least they can drink in the atmosphere.
    That painting on the wall is in their next apartment. This must be when I decided to get it for them.
    07-01-22_4-48-16_PM_86VHwoHAsss4FTMZ9PX9st.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    I tried to get them into the awards ceremony, but couldn't for some reason.
    Maybe it wasn't happening that day. I can't remember. Nice view of the city though.
    07-03-22_9-28-12_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds
    Changed clothes for nothing.
    07-03-22_9-29-04_PM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    I would eventually put an exercise machine and a yoga mat on the balcony.
    07-04-22_2-01-00_AM.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    The media station was also part of their career.
    07-04-22_2-08-56_AM_kSFoBJHtf8pXFzEen5sFFU.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    Near the top of the career level, I did start giving them more of a social life.
    07-04-22_4-24-05_PM_rJqwtSDs945ELffJGPKqZK.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    07-27-22_9-33-15_PM_iJpf8XWfRRs57CvijBy1se.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    They are sooo cute.
    07-27-22_10-11-32_PM_fEouaVF7WYBjUQ3C62K6gf.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    The last shot after making it to the top.
    I used them to test out a new cyber cafe that I was making for the new world that was coming with High School Years.
    07-27-22_11-08-03_AM_fsix971FdRJikm8Pgy1QzG.png?width=1920&height=1080&fit=bounds

    Eventually new patches would glitch my career mod.
    Zerbu updated his new mod tools, so I have to build it all over again. But next time I might be able to build in the features I did not know how to do with the last version.

    Got a new update with Connie in the Local Color Legacy, all hope was honestly lost until the end😃
    Following the events of someone entering her home, Connie needed a change of atmosphere to relax. Luckily for her it was a special holiday. She was allowed to travel anywhere in the world. She invited friends and traveled to San Myshuno. She had trying out the karaoke machine. msOjOQl.png
    She was exploring the area and somehow joined a protest🤣 Of9flci.png Before heading back home she visited a rooftop club. Spotting the karaoke machine she just had to give a try. 5XNJ2ux.png The minute she started to sing, sims began to walk towards the exist😅Rude. Connie didn’t mine though. S4SAoUK.png Returning back home a young man came up to her. He recently moved in with his family and wanted to greet the neighbors. Connie immediately recognized him. He’s Ben Caliente and was a former classmate, the two never really interacted but they alumnus nonetheless. Bz1g3Xb.png She got scared when it began to rain harder and lightning strikes were occurring. “Nothing to fear, I can cover you with my umbrella” Ben offered. Taj2cbM.png Inside Aeri was happy to meet him. “What do you do, Ben?” She asked him straight away. He chuckled, “thats classified” he responded. “Very funny, are you some sort of secret agent?” Aeri asked. “Something like that” Ben replied. Qhlvfh4.png Connie needed to practice a scene, while away at San Myshuno she didn’t practice at all. So she asked Ben if he was interested in helping. After agreeing I guess Connie wanted to practice away from moms eyes cause apparently there’s no better place to practice than outside during a thunderstorm. dROXogJ.png The scene she had to preform was none other than a romance scene. Before ending the scene with a kiss she told him “not to get any ideas”. When he agreed she grabbed him and kissed him. rVTNOpi.png Ben brought his hand to his chest. He pretended to give an acceptance speech😂GeBQFpC.png

    Connie returned inside to avoid the rain, and Ben left back home. “Sooo who is he?” Aeri asked her. “He’s just an old classmate, mom” she answered. K3uPLi7.png
    At work, Connie performed well, she passed with gold ratings! She was feeling really good about herself. On her way back home, she found Ben walking along. She thanked him for his help. khgW96T.png Connie invited him back him, together they did a puzzle together. At one point he just stopped to look at her do some critical thinking. YwIPXfW.png Before long Ben had to go. There was a movie he wanted to catch at the theatre. He invited Connie to come along with him, she agreed. Connie found the movie to be boring, but Ben wasn’t bad to have as company so she didn’t mind the outing. She also didn’t mind when Ben told her they should do this again sometime. 1Oriye1.png It was very unexpected when Ben appeared the next day at her door to see her. She would’ve invited him inside but yesterday after the movies Aeri asked her if were on a date. She didn’t want to give her mom any more ideas, instead they went on a walk. Ben was just a friend. Connie had honestly given up hope on meeting anyone at all. Though that changed when Ben offered her a rose. 7bfBAda.png The two had an amazing compatibility rank, she didn’t even have that with either Messiah or Mitchell. Connie just didn’t expect it at all. She accepted the rose without thought. Connie felt a little awkward about it and after walking for a while she headed back home EbOwhd4.png Ben appeared again the next day. Connie had thought about it all night, Ben was great to be around and unlike Messiah or Mitchell he didn’t have a single negative trait😃 She was nervous but worked her nerves up for a kiss. usVW7Ne.png Given how she reacted the day before, Ben gladly accepted it. vJVGb8S.png Aeri was at work, so Connie decided to send her a selfie TYVEtX2.png

    @BlueSeaWaves Haha, yes, he's a darling.

    Meanwhile, back at the Mon Amour mansion, Robert and Elle are expecting his parents any moment. Elle can always tell when her mother-in-law is near... the mice throw themselves onto the traps.

    JO7OnPl.png

    Robert's parents are visiting for the weekend. Elle adores Dr. Mon Amour but absolutely hates her mother-in-law.

    S6b7rCn.png

    *The poor maid doesn't have a headache. The staff are not allowed to make eye contact with the Mon Amours or their guests unless they're called upon. lol

    Such drama!


    Speaking of the maid...

    @Kellogg_J_Kellogg Thank you for the recommendations. I'll be sure to check those out.

    "Norm!"... I'd forgotten about that. lol

    @Kellogg_J_Kellogg beat me to the Lucky Girl recommendation. @hellohannah2 is an amazing writer and I absolutely love this story!❤️ I also recommend Wyrd Girls by @luciusstorm and Fier Legacy by @haneul. Both stories are extremely entertaining and they keep the chapters short so they are great reads if you're pressed for time.🙂

    @CK213 I love that apartment.❤️ I'm getting ready to build a couple of rooms for one scene in Schemes & Dreams so I can relate to building that set just for mod screenshot.😁

    @BlueSeaWaves
    Everybody's a critic.🙄 Instead of being rude to Connie they should get up there and try it. You go Connie! Kisses in the rain are very romantic, but yeah I think a thunderstorm is taking it a bit too far.😉 When I saw Ben with the umbrella in the thunderstorm I expected the next picture to be of him after he had been struck by lightning.🤣 Does that make me a bad person? Aww that is so sweet! It looks like Connie finally met the right one, hopefully. Good luck girl, he's really cute!

    @ElleLaAmour That screenshot is perfect for that line!

    I can't believe it, but I finally finished writing the next chapter of Schemes!🥳 I still have editing to do and a bunch of screenshots to get once I figure out how I want to break this into smaller parts. I thought I had gone past the 10K word mark, but I just ran a word count on the full unedited version and it was just over 9K. So it will probably be broken into three parts and released over the course of a week. There are plenty of surprises, a bombshell or two, and a scene that you may want to have the Kleenex handy for.

    Attended the Romance Festival, and in the background a Sim I wasn't playing decided to have some fun with the Guru. :lol:

    URHOKOu.png

    Shortly thereafter, MCCC married off the Guru to none other than.... Agnes Crumplebottom. Seems like a romance doomed to fail, but I'm definitely crafting an extensive plot around that coupling.

    @GirafHuntr Wow. After a very non-Crumplebottom experience at the romance festival haha.
    Although...
    What if that trendy blond kid is how Agnes looked in her youth???

    Never mind, I wanna hear the backstory you're making, when you feel like sharing :)

    Since I am more of a Sims 3 player than Sims 4, but it kinda grew a bit much. One day I will consider building a Sims 4 house. Since I bought couple of bundles although will have to wait until I upload 3 scheduled Sims 3 houses first.

    Here are these screenshots:

    First sims I made and played without the packs yet.

    My latest sim as well doing yoga in the day spa.

    Thank you @BlueSeaWaves It felt like the right time for the brothers to move. They were taking up two slots of the eight and well, Erik and Kayleigh have plans, if you will. ;)
    Just read your Color update. Delightful. So glad Connie did well, got the gold and then got a boyfriend, too. I look forward to what is next.

    Loved it. Especially this line: Elle can always tell when her mother-in-law is near... the mice throw themselves onto the traps. Great visualization.

    And how Ellr's tongue got all twisted calling her mother-in-law a stupid cow ROFL The Amour's are the epitome of snobbery. Great job and thank you for my Morning Chuckle. Can't wait to read more of your story!

    Haha @mightysprite I appreciate your theory and your interest. I was just thinking, that after Mr. Arjun Sheppard caught himself having a fling with this random 22 year old at the Romance Festival, he was racked with guilt. Along came Agnes and lectured him about decency and he realized after all these years it was finally time to grow up. He's enjoyed being seen as the pinnacle of wisdom when it comes to romance, but his personal life has actually always been a mess. Agnes made him realize the error of his ways. He began to pursue her and after a chaste courtship in which he came calling with many homemade muffins, she was won over. Turns out she's actually always been a Lonely Heart. She's not gonna stop her purse slapping and her fierce judgments on others, though. I like to imagine that from now on, she's right by his side at the Romance Festival giving her own predictions and "advice" to young couples who inquire.

    A strange redhead turns up at my sim self's house. She seems a bit suspicious so i keep an eye on her as she checks out his home:

    Ok....this is weird:

    The following morning the strange redhead turns up again:

    She introduces herself to my sim self and his daughter Beatrix as Callia. She's new in the area and is looking to form some new friendships:

    After their wedding Callia and Ryo moved to Britechester where Ryo studied for his engineering degree and they had two children Daniel and Amelia.

    Ten years later in 1996:

    Callia and Ryo are still happily married living in Britechester. Daniel and Amelia have aged up to infants (finally!!) Ryo earned his engineering degree and is now an Artisan of Apparatuses in the engineering career and Callia is a Culture Columnist in the Style Influencer career.

    Here are some recent pictures of Ryo and Callia in 1996:

    @GalacticGal and @GirafHuntr Thank you very much. I'm really having a good time with this. Maybe too good. :)

    Although I'm sure you both already know, these are not my jokes. As I mentioned before, these are jokes I find online that tickle me, and the fun for me is in trying to illustrate them in a "story." lol

    So this is a disclaimer. Just imagine what a successful carer I'd have as a comedian if I could write like this. lol
    I couldn't write myself out of a wet paper bag. (See, that didn't even make sense.) :)

    Our Own Little Country, a NEW Erik Cantrell Save


    As the twins progressed, grew, Erik began to notice things. One would learn a particular skill and that was a signal the other one would achieve it shortly, as well. Sometimes inside of the very same day. He knew this wasn’t true of all twins, but his were identical, which was a rare thing. The term synchronicity came to mind. Or at least an altered state of it. They did both sit up one right after the other. Identical as they were, they were certainly showing their individual personalities, it was very interesting to learn that a food one liked or even loved, the other wasn’t of the same mind or tastebud. Sometimes, she would cry pitilessly, loathing the taste that much, while the other gobbled it up with a smile.
    Melodie took one taste of the Oaty O’s and her face said it all.
    cq4G1pq.jpg

    Harmony, on the other hand really loved smashed peas. She also loved the Oaty O’s. But then again, she loved almost everything. Just don't give her smashed lemons.
    g4MrV9L.jpg

    Harmony was also very much working on her major motor skills, whereas Melodie was more into socialization. She said her first word before her twin. She also waved, first. All of this, while Harmony was busy pulling herself up. She was getting pretty sturdy on those little legs of hers. Melodie showed little to no interest in standing, even when assisted by a parent. Wobbly, she was on the wobbly side, he decided. In speaking with the Pediatrician, the parents were both satisfied she was developing in a very normal fashion, to their relief.

    Watching as he did, Erik was suddenly struck with the sense the girls were approaching their first birthday. They would be Toddlers, soon. Kayleigh shared her similar feelings on this. Erik had just put Melodie down for the night and walked through the arch into the other side of the girls’ suite. This suite was originally two separate rooms, but once they learned they were having twin girls, the couple made the conscious choice to give them the room they would need. Without separating them. Being a triplet, Kayleigh was adamant on this. One side would be for sleeping, the other side for playing.

    *~~*~~*~~*~~*

    “I’m glad you agree with me,” he told Kayleigh. “I lived in a room with both Joey and Aaron. I had the top bunk of the actual bunkbed unit, Aaron’s ‘top bunk’ had an empty space below it. Which is where I conspired to put our dirty clothes hamper, but Mom kept removing it, for some reason. ...”
    “Oh, Erik, you didn’t.” Erik just shrugged, looking guilty. They both burst into laughter at this.

    “I know exactly what you mean,” Kayleigh said, sobering up again. “I shared the double-bed bottom bunk with Hayleigh. Let me tell you she was a bed hog. I think I slept clinging to a cliff most nights,” she said, catching Erik’s look of confusion. “Hanging onto the outside edge of the bed, lest I fall off the narrow strip she left me, while she was sprawled out over the rest of her half,” she clarified. "Daddy organized everything. He was oh-so-regimented about it, too. Military man that he is. Regina was born first, so she got the top bunk to herself. Then came Hayleigh and finally me, the runt. I was squished in vitro, and I continued to be squished throughout my childhood. Space was always an issue. At least in the dorm I had my own bed. I learned I don’t mind sharing a room so much as I need room in the bed.”

    “Do I crowd you too much?”
    “Your kind of crowding I love.” She smiled at him.

    *~~*~~*~~*~~*

    Kayleigh found Erik in this extension. He was busy keeping a soccer ball in the air, something he did when he was anxious or upset about something. “May I come in?” she asked, peeking her head through the archway. She knew, too, sometimes he just needed to be alone.
    “Eighty-eight,” he said, catching the ball. “Absolutely.” He gazed at her in a manner that often made her blush. Then she decided to lean into him and whisper into his ear.
    “That’s not only risque, that’s downright risky. But I’m game, let’s go.”

    *~~*~~*~~*~~*

    Shortly thereafter Kayleigh met Erik as he was approaching the front steps to their home. The wind was up a bit, and he wondered on this Spring Day if it would ever fully warm up. Erik shivered a bit wishing he'd worn a jacket. “Erik, I’m glad you’re finally back. Did the gigs go well? Your recording session, too?”
    “Audience was appreciative, the questions to go with the photos for the magazine piece were interesting. The pictures weren’t bad, either, if I may so. I only had to redo one song. So, yes, all went well. Now, how was your day?”

    “How much do you love me?”
    “Oh, maybe just a little,” he smiled, impishly, holding his index finger close to his thumb.
    “I’m serious. How much do you love me?”
    “With all of my heart. What’s this about?”
    “I’m pregnant. We’re having another baby.”
    “Well, that’s good news. When are we due?”

    “Right before the Girls’ first birthday," she sighed. "We’ve done it again, Erik. Our families are going to read us the riot act for this. You know how they lectured us when we got pregnant so soon after Jamison.”
    “Kay-Kay, calm down, you know it’s not good for the baby for you to get this upset,” Erik said, gently taking her into his arms. “I’ve done a great deal of thinking about the opinion of others when it comes to how many and when we choose to bring another child into this world. I've come to this conclusion. Our family, our choice. Not theirs. We are our own little nation, here, our own little country. It’s you me, and the children. Nobody else has the right or the say-so in this.”

    “They did crown us during our wedding ceremony,” Kayleigh said.
    “Yes, and that was to demonstrate that we are the King and Queen of our family. Our family. Yours and mine, just as our parents are the same over their families.”
    “But —”
    “For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother.”
    “To become one with his wife.”
    “Our own little country. The rest is mere chatter.”

    "And we tune chatter out," They both said in unison and then had a good laugh.

    All for now. Thanks for reading! :)

    I loved your update. Callia and Ryo have a nice family. It was fun reading this. That chapel looks very much like a castle. Did you build it yourself? Best of luck to this little family. I hope you share more of them in the future.

    @GalacticGal Thank you! Callia and Ryo were the first couple to produce great grand children for my sim self, meanwhile Frankie Bheeda's kids aged to up kids before them!

    Here's one more of Callia and Ryo on a date at the same restaurant ten years earlier:

    The chapel i downloaded from the gallery. I'll get the creators ID and share their build here when i'm on the game next.

    @Ellupelluellu Thank you. My Sims are pretty excited, all except Jamison. He's feeling crowded out.

    I hope your Sim gets food soon. They can ill-afford to lose any weight by the looks of things. Best of luck with your challenge. :)
