Here it froze
This was the screen
I am going to post this so you guys know if I dissapear what happened to me, but I am going to try and load my pics for day 19
Miranda had a good day at school and did very well in her exams. She sold an outfit so was finally able to afford her fridge. While at home something happened that I have never allowed in my game. a Friend randomly came for a visit. Usually I disable all four options at the front door, but I only disabled vampires this time round. It made for an interesting evening and a force of hand for my current gameplay
Miranda went home to sell her outfit and to buy her super expensive fridge
As I sent her to the fridge to try out a snack, guess who just walks into her house
Yes it was Kyoshi, he wanted to be best friends and get a hug
Gosh well while he is here why not talk some more ...
Then while chatting he did this
Well well well, she said yes and then decided to stop the friendly interactions and act on that crush
if not why not LOL, so he stayed almost all night it was a little slippery when he left
I think this has completely changed my game play now. firstly she will have to go to prom and I guess that was the last thing before graduating, so I might do that sooner by aging her up ???
@mightysprite it seems that it was shortlived. Its freezing up again. Love your screenie, that is hillarious, mostly his face though as if forced to wear the formal dress LOL
@WinerKhirin I do that a lot as well, I load my game start up cas and then sometimes hours later jst exit cas cause I was not happy with the progress of the sim I was making. Hopefully once you get your sim made and moved it you will enjoy the challenge
@SoulGal7 has anybody ever told you to be an author. You write awesim stories, I can't wait to see what happens next in the love story of Jacob and Ali, so far it is so sweet and soulmates forever kind of story
Day 18
And Miranda has a crush on Kiyoshi! Ooh-la-la! Miranda's bedroom looks so bright and colorful now. New pastel kit? So happy that Miranda got the hang of Trendi because you can make big bucks for sure.
Day 19 - Oooh! Things are heating up with Kiyoshi! I mean when he wants to be BFF's, there is no stopping him! lol OMG! Kiyoshi asked Miranda to the prom as friends! Yes! I mean he must really like her to come all the way from Mt. Komorebi to Copperdale in a rainstorm to ask her out! Yeah! And then they have their first kiss! Hot! Hot! Hot! And no, Kiyoshi, you can't stay over...because I'm just not that type of girl. And then Miranda throws him out in the rain again and he falls in a mud puddle. Yep...this is definitely true sim love! lol I am doing a little clap here in real life for these two and laughing as well. Yes! Go to prom with Kiyoshi! I have to see these two together and see what Miranda will wear! But be forewarned...the pop-ups for that event come up really fast, and to be honest, she won't have much time to socialize if she is going to get any prom reward. I find it too fast, in my opinion. But they need a photobooth pic together! Yes!
And now all I can say is after all that "heat" with Kiyoshi in the last chapter, the guy toasted your laptop. Darn Kiyoshi and his teen hormones! lol But seriously, so sad that the laptop is deciding to have a "Blue Christmas" again. Grrr! I just hope it gets fixed soon.
Oh and thanks for the compliment on my story writing. Just doing a bit to give some depth to their characters. I am just setting something up for when they graduate. hehe
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
@mightysprite - I love that screenie, and yes, doesn't matter if you make the outfit for a female, any sim wears it. Nice fashion accessory wit the hat. The flowers match that dress.
@JojoMOMSTER - Yes, I had fun "trashing-up" the house! lol At first, I had also put trash in the main bedroom, too, but then I got the idea that maybe Jacob had started working on it and was going to bring Ali there to show her the house. To sort of show her what a future with him could be like.
@WinterKhirin - I understand about spending hours in CAS and then not being happy with the sim. I don't have cc, which might make it easier for me, because if I did, I would spend even more time in there than I already do. I do hope that you'll create a sim soon and start the challenge. It's a lot of fun.
so loading my game now
Thank you
Miranda had a super busy day today. She completed her inside of the house, only the exterior left now. She and Kyoshi went to prom, gosh @SoulGal7 you are so right, the timing is super short and it caused for a stressed prom where you have to do one action after the other to complete the goals. She managed to do it, but gosh not enjoy full at all so the whole photo booth thing happened just before it ended and that went pearshaped as well hahahaha, all revealed in the spoiler
She then headed to the thrifti store to make another outfit so she can furnish her lounge
Yeah, well ummm Vlad she will have to dry this first
or she can just say it got wet in the post
Lounge ..... tick
Time for lunch
Prom time
Home time for some photo's with Kyoshi since the prom one well uhmm its not romantic
It was a lovely mixed feelings night as you can see by the prom photo she decided to keep
As they walked, Jacob pointed out various buildings along the way, and finally they were at Rory's trailer. Jacob introduced Ali to Rory and also Lou Howell, a member of the WildFangs. Jacob then went over to the fire with Lou and chatted about fitness techniques.
Rory: "So, Ali...my brother tells me that you two met in high school..."
Ali: "Yeah...we went to high school prom together..."
Rory: "You know, Ali, he must be pretty serious about you. He's never brought any girls home before."
Ali: "Oh?"
Rory: "Nope, never. You're the first. I mean...not that he hasn't gone out with others...the girls were all clamoring to be with him in high school. And can you blame them? He could have had a bevy of girlfriends, but he's not like that, he's definitely not a player. He's become a pretty serious guy, you know...and I often tell him that he needs to loosen up and be a bit wild sometimes.."
Ali: "A bit wild?"
Rory: "Yeah...I told him it's okay to let loose every so often...be adventurous...impulsive...take some risks...but Jacob says he wants to stay "in control" because he has responsibilities to live up to."
Ali looked over at Jacob and at that moment Jacob looked up and smiled at her.
Rory noticed the exchange, "Jacob mentioned to me that he told you about his true self and that you just accepted him. Is that true?"
Ali: "Yes, he told me, and it doesn't matter..."
Rory: "Well, it does matter, you know. My adoptive father would think otherwise..."
Ali: "What do you mean?"
Rory: "Well, I don't know if you know this, Ali, but you're dating a Prince. Jacob is being groomed to take over the throne, so to speak."
Ali: "What? I don't understand. Is there something that I should know?"
Rory: "Ali...maybe this is something that Jacob should tell you. I've already said too much..." she replied as she switched the topic and they discussed Ali's courses at uni.
Rory:"I can see why Jacob likes you, Ali...you're down-to-earth and funny. You know before he came here, he had a lot of pain in his life. It's nice to see him smile again. You make him very happy..."
Ali: "He makes me happy, too, Rory..."
They chatted some more and then Rory said she had things to attend to, "From what Jacob tells me, you're very talented, Ali. It was nice meeting you and I'm sure that you'll get lots of job offers when you graduate..."
Ali: "I hope so. Oh, and Rory...don't worry...I'm not going to go off and leave Jacob...I...I have feelings for him. So wherever I go, I'm going to ask Jacob to come with me...and I'm sure we'll find a job somewhere together..."
Rory looked at Ali and shook her head, "Right..." is all she said.
Jacob came over then and said it was time to take the train back to uni and after saying their good-byes, promptly left.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
They arrived back at uni and the ground was blanketed with snow. Jacob said he had to head back to his dorm to start his homework, and Ali said she would have to do the same.
Jacob kissed her and Ali looked into his eyes, "Jacob...are you a Prince?"
Jacob laughed, "A Prince? What? Who told you that?"
Ali: "Well, your sister said that you were a Prince and that you were being groomed for the throne. Is it true?"
Jacob looked at her in surprise "Rory said that? Ali, she was just joking around..."
Ali: "But why would she say something like that?"
Jacob shrugged his shoulders and looked away nervously and said that he really had to go. Ali nodded her head and watched Jacob walk away, but she had this nagging feeling that Jacob wasn't telling her something.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
When Ali got back to her dorm, she worked on her homework and then her presentation board. She was already so behind for Term 3 which started tomorrow.
Day 20
I really think that those prom tasks come up too fast. It doesn't feel like you can relax at all. It's just go, go, go! Anyway, congrats to Miranda for surviving her first prom!
@SoulGal7 aww Ali and Rory's conversation was so cute and then suddenly it took a turn
ps, Yes Ali did vote for him to be prom royal she also voted for the girl with purple hair to be the joker person and they both won as she voted
@all going to load my game up now. Will do what I said above to SoulGal7. Lets see how this goes LOL
Miranda had a very nice relaxing Sunday. She completed the one part of the challenge which is to have a furnished house. Her house is completely done now. She also is selling one more outfit for 20 000 just to have money in the bank for bills and her up and coming university. I have shortened her age span along with the neighbourhood and her birthday is now in four days. After her birthday I might continue the short lifespan a little longer until I see her friends age up too and then I will return it too long when she starts university. I am going to let her graduate first before going to Uni, anyways here is today's chill day adventures
I completed the outside of the house while she was sleeping
Miranda had a bubble bath and then did a bit of cleaning
She made one more outfit, will be the last one for a while I think. (I might adjust the rules to maximum 5000 simoleons and one outfit per day to make it a bit more challenging)
She grabbed a boba tea
Off home to test out the new hot tub Uhhhhhmmmm ????
That is better
Caprese salad for lunch
Chatting with Kyoshi online
Early bedtime since she was very tired and it is school tomorrow
Real life is seriously cutting into my own Simming time, if you know what I mean. Hope to get an update out soon; just not sure when.
Ali had stayed up a bit too late trying to finish all her homework, her presentation and write her term paper, and her head just wasn't feeling the best today.
A glass of orange juice should help and then it's off to class.
Ali completed her first class and then came outside and felt chilled. Oh no! I think Ali is coming down with something. No! No! Don't get sick your last week of term. She brushes off the feeling and heads to class.
But when she comes out...oh no! She is covered with spots. A trip to the uni walk-in clinic is in order and they prescribe some medication.
And thank goodness, that seems to do the trick. She heads off to present her presentation.
Afterwards, she attends an Art Society figure painting session (oops...no photo there), and then paints on the patio at UBrite Commons. While there, she maxes her painting skill. Ali...why are you in shorts when you were just sick this morning?
The rest of the night is spent doing homework and studying.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Tuesday, Ali decided that she wasn't getting enough veggies in her diet, so she orders a carrot cupcake at the UBrite Commons cafeteria.
Then it's the Art Society Bar Night (8pm - midnight) at Pepper's Pub. She wears her Art Society t-shirt and invites a bunch of friends. Ali spends most of the night chatting with other Art Society members about inspiration. She is trying to reach the top of the organization, but the bar night ends before she achieves it. Oh well.
She gets a pop-up from Morgan that she found a ring in Liam's bag. Oh yes! Morgan...he is the one for you!
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Wednesday, and one of her professors suggested she contribute knowledge to the ERAM machine to benefit other students. Ali thought she would give it a try...
oh my gosh...the machine is sucking her brain out of her head...
Alright, she is done...and she is NEVER doing that again.
And then she hears an announcement that it is "Cram For The Exam" night. Oh my gosh! Her brain is mush. How is she supposed to study for her exams feeling like this?
Ali tries to study, but everything on the page is blurry...and why does she feel so dizzy? She decides to call it a night and head back to the dorm.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Thursday, a regular day and after class, Ali heads to UBrite Commons and practices her debate skill with her roomie Arjun. And she reaches Research and Debate Skill Level 7! Yes!
She quickly e-mails her professors about her grades. Ali! Why again the night before exams? But, she finds out that she is one of the best students in all her classes. (I just did one screenie, but they are all the same). This certainly brightens her day.
She heads back to her dorm and works on her knitting skill. Winterfest is coming and she has a lot of gifts to knit for Jacob and his family.
Ali knits a pink beanie for Rory first. Oh my gosh! Look at this sad creation! Ali, are you sure that your Xtreme Knitting Professor said that you were one of his best students? Maybe she'll just donate this one. Um...yeah...
By the end of the night, Ali has knitted quite a few items, and even listed one on plopsy. She is now Level 9 in Knitting Skill.
I’m curious SoulGal7 do you have a mod that allows for sickness or is it part of the base game? I have used Private Practice from SimRealist for so long I am unsure whether Sims in any game can get ill.
I know what you mean, the one stage you can sim and the next for days you can't get to it. I planned on simming all day today, but just got home from being out all day long, gosh where did the time go LOL
@SoulGal7 oh my gosh Ali does not look good
Miranda has sold her last outfit and will only go make one when her funds get low again, funds will purely be for bills and food now
Such a happy girl with her pancakes for brekkie
Her school day consists of studying for exams she won't write
Paying the bills
A snack and a chat with Kiyoshi before bedtime
Her exams are back to back and when she is done, she waits for her grades to be posted. She also gets a pop-up that she sold one of the items she knitted on plopsy. Yes!
And her grades are posted and Ali got A+ again in all her grades! Congrats Ali! And Ali has now completed her coursework and final exams for uni. Ali gets a notice that Graduation is tomorrow!. She is super excited!
I was going to go into CAS and give her a grad gown outfit for photos, but the game had other plans. I got a notice that "I couldn't do that while someone was dying". What? Who? I scan back to her dorm, and sure enough, there is a student laying on the ground. Oh no!
Oh my gosh! The poor student. It must have been the stress of exams Ali sees a dark figure approach and realizes this must be the Grim Reaper. She quickly pleads for the life of the student.
Other students have crazy emotions, and one student is even serenading another student. Or maybe he's serenading the Grim Reaper trying to make HIS case heard.
But never fear! Ali's smooth talking saved the student!
Ali feels the need to calm the student down, as the student is rather angry.
And then the student starts yelling at Ali! What? I just saved your life! Ugh! Gratitude!
And just because Ali wants proof that she was a hero, she snaps a photo with the sim she saved.
Ali also made a friend with the Grim Reaper. And now Ali has morbid thoughts of death on her mind. Geez! Ali...get rid of those thoughts...your life is just beginning...
