Yes you have probably seen from kid Jemma's unicorn in the main forum.. or at least from when she went on her unicorn escapade as a new teen. I'm so glad you're enjoying my family. Thank you for the wonderful comments. You are a trooper!
And so Jemma was just on the verge of aging up... LOL, I love how Grayson is peeking over the chair.
'TA-DA!!!!!!!!!! Uhhhh, wait now.. why is my beautiful hair all pulled back? And what is with this ugly, short black dress? Fairy-tale finders don't wear black!'
'I guess I'll have cake anyway.'
So she figured she'd wait until everybody else goes to bed before taking a visit to CAS. Might have to fix those brows too.. and a bit of gloss might be nice.
She enjoyed this dress much more. A true princess's dress! Long, flowy... and blue!
Here is her everyday wear. "No it's not a nightie! It was clearly labelled Everyday!"
Just a touch of makeup.
And a pristine white nightie suitable for a pure-of-heart princess.
"Hey, princesses can still look rad on the beach!"
Still a little sad about not seeing Domino.
'But wait... tonight I am teen and can go to the falls alone.. and stay all night!'
"That sounds like a fabulous idea!!! Am I talking to myself?" (Said in her cute, high-pitched voice.)
Just a sec I'll change into my unicorn-hunting gear and grab a sleeping bag. And .... BAM!!
She gathered all the supplies she would need this time. Growing to teen does make you a tad smarter, after all. Sleeping bag, extra carrots, picnic basket for food, video camera, and a book to read. Still wanting that Tablet.. little did she realize that was a toddler book. Oh, and horse granola in the fridge.
AND... guess what was in Daddy's gift box?? Keys to this new blue scooter!! RAD!!!!!!
'Yeah, I can get used to this.'
Driving to the falls at midnight. Can you tell where her sleeping bag and backpack is? It's super-invisible!
This looked like a good spot.
She dozed during the dark hours ..because usually the unicorns surfaced at the break of dawn.. I think.
Still sleeping...
She woke up in a flurry of feathers. Hmmm, no unicorn in sight. Not even a single horse!
After waiting a bit in the daylight she figured she better get home before the household gets up, so they won't find her missing.
After saying hi to Willow.
She changed and sat down to eat breakfast.. just in time for Dad to get up!
"Hi Daddy. Did you sleep well?" "Yeah. Hey, you were the last one up. Why didn't you put that supper plate away? Now it's all rotten." "Uhhh..."
Weh.. Just got reprimanded, didn't find a unicorn, half-tired, and now I have to go to school.
But I'm going to ask Brendon to come over after school. Maybe he might this time!

:thumbup: I also need to go back through The Party People! I think I'll catch up on the Watleys first though. I don't think I've ever seen anything before teenage Van :shock:
While the kids were getting ready for school, Sharona took some time to work on her novel The Party People, which she hoped would be a best seller.
But she was having a bit of a writer's block in how to present Van's latest chapter.
So she took a break to upgrade the computer instead. And proceeded to break it. Typical.
Meanwhile, Grayson was being a little p*nk and playing tricks on Jemma.
Daddy was not at all pleased. (How did he know...?) 'That's ok' Jemma thought. 'Grayson better just stay away for when Brendon comes over after school or Imma wring his skinny neck.'
After she got home from afterschool music class, she called him. Apparently Daddy is thinking about giving flowers to someone - hopefully Sharona.
And Sharona is thinking about how good this martini tastes. She's getting ready for her gig tonight so she's getting primed up.
Looka that, Brendon was pretty eager to come over. Hmmm.... but he does look quite pudding doesn't he? Well, if you're going to be a chance at a romantic interest, buddy, you're going straight to.... CAS!!
AHHHHHHHHHHH! PUDDING!!
There now, does that feel better, Brendon?
I dunno, I don't feel any different.
Well you look much better. I mean, you look okay. At least MUCH better than....
AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! PUDDING!!!
Pudding? What is that anyway??
It's this!!
NO!! STOP! Kill it with fire!!!
"You're crazy, girl."
"Okay. Let's talk about something much more exciting. Like MUSIC!! I love to play the piano and my mom's got a wicked red grand piano."
"Cool, you like music, hey?
"MUSIC SUCKS!!"
"I'm not sure if this is gonna work out, Brendon. First of all, you're an ex-pudding. Second, you don't like music. And third, I heard through the CAS grapevine that you're a klepto."
"But...but.... I'm cute now, right?"
"I'm not pudding anymore."
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGHH!!! STOP IT ALREADY!!
Thank you.
"Okay, we'll go downstairs and watch a movie and let's see if you can redeem yourself. Just ignore my annoying little brother there. He thinks everybody wants to be his friend."
I'm not reading your recent updates because I am starting from the beginning on your blog. I am going slowly but will get there. Just read another
No problem. Well you'll soon reach the point where I started posting them in the main thread anyway. It's around where Jemma has her teen birthday and is looking for her unicorn. The ones I just posted here actually. ^
You would have seen all updates from that point and then you can skip to the present ones.

Wow, well missy you got some reading to do!!! LOL j/k Before teenage Van of course would have been Adairna's story. And a brief story on the founder Nakaiya with Connor Frio.

I know, I know! It will be fun though, learning more about simmies I've known for ages! I'm glad I'm finally getting a move on. I am a grade A procrastinator.
Last we heard Jemma had a downstairs movie date with ex-pudding boy Brendon. They watched a bit of TV and chatted a bit.
It was an okay date. However, things with pudding boy quickly failed since the file got somehow corrupted and I had to revert to a previous save. Ahh, everything works out for the better, hey?
I had previously created cutie boy Stevan as a young adult, and so decided to age him down and place him in Jemma's town and force them to meet.
Jemma is very excited about that.
Dad, when I get my licence tomorrow can I take the car out?
"You have to learn how to drive first."
She snuck out at night on her scooter to go to the beach house.. For some reason she felt a strange compulsion to go there.
And lo!
Jemma: Hi! I'm Jemma. You're from Sunset Valley hey?
Stevan: Yeah I just moved here. Stevan's the name.
This is a pretty cool town. I'm likin' it so far! (thinks, 'Even better now that I've met this hot blondie.')
So I guess I'll see you at school tomorrow? Maybe we could sit together at lunch?
I'll clear all the seats at my table just for you.
Besides my beloved Willow, we also have Josie (on the scratcher, a maine c.oon who is actually my real Josie in real life). Then Coal the youngest boy whom we adopted only in the Sim world. In other words, in real life I have Josie and Willow. In Sim life I have an extra cat, Coal. Will-Bill is the youngest (not pictured).
Incidentally, Willow and Coal had one litter of three long ago, which were given away. Josie Simcat is an elder and on her last days. (In RL she's only 9 and just approaching her neurotic elderness.)
Here is Tegan, the youngest daughter. She will age to child soon. She was actually aged in the previous save which I lost, but I had to use an old save and retrain her.
I can flip like a pro! Though it's not a pancake.. I have no idea.
Oh, this is what it was. I think it's cheesesteak?
Grayson likes to play chess online. He is a little genius.
Awww Grayson hugging Tegan. He is Friendly.
I got Garrick a new shirt and he was thinking about ghosts.. and stuff. (Get the reference?)
Garrick took out Jemma's bike because she had the car.
I totally redid Jemma's room. She had shared with her brother as kids but took one of the upstairs rooms when she aged, and it was blah boring black and grey. Now she loves it!!
I gave her a bear collection.
On the stand is her ballet trophy and shoes, which she is quite proud of.
Nostalgia pic.. remember this, little Jemma showing off her plies.
More nostalgia - Jemma as a bebe.
Back to the present, Jemma goes to school and there's not one, but TWO cute new guys!!
On the right of course is Stevan. The guy on the left is one I created by genetics out of Tobias York (from my Jonso story) and a slightly Asian-looking girl Sim I made a while back. I placed him in the town at the same time as I did Stevan. I think his name is Derrick Wen.
The blog has reached almost 1000 views! Thanks to all the readers thus far.
Feel free to comment or say hi at any time between me adding these past episodes. It helps to break up the posts so there aren't too many pictures to have to load on each page.
Here was our most recent family pic, taken when Jemma was still a kid.
From RIGHT to LEFT:
Garrick holding Tegan, Grayson, Jemma, and Sharona holding August the youngest baby, who coincidentally was born in August.
Unfortunately a terrible accident befell little August, and she died.
Ahhh okay I'll tell you what really happened. See I kinda have this obsession with my Simself. I have a weird face and I can never seem to make her look like me so I am constantly tweaking her in CAS and each baby born has likely been from a different version of SharonaSim. And I want her to look like me but still make presentable Sim babies with all that slider tweaking So anyway... August came out, um, unfortunate. For lack of a better word. Nose was too high and pointy and facial features were just unfixable. She may have been a cute baby, but not so much aged. :roll: And this was before I knew about 'play with genetics' in CAS.
So I used Master Controller to have her die from a "Watery Grave", because she was screaming to use the potty while in momma's arms. So I guess we'll call it a fatal bladder infection or something.
The family had their period of mourning.
Grayson was especially sad.
But little Tegan, who barely knew her little sister, got extra love.
Speaking of love...
"Oh hey Jemma!"
"D'ya wanna come over to my house after school?"
She certainly did!
Stevan: "Yes!! She's here!" (Random brown baby camoflauged in the grass....? :shock: )
"Of course I'll go to the prom with you, Jemma."
N'awwww.
Wooo! Prom day!
Stevan is lookin' all swanky.
They come back to Jemma's house after the dance.
Stevan, thinking: 'Wow they must be rich.'
Jemma goes to find Dad because he insisted on meeting "the boy" afterwards.
Willow: "Ghost?"
Stevan: "Hey Mr. Watley."
Dad was still in mourning over August and Stevan was excited to take a picture of Garrick the famous artist and rock star.
Dad left the two alone, and so they watched the stars.
After the prom Stevan came over and they watched the stars.
Jemma was really tired so she asked if he would stay over and then they could spend more time together the next day. Jemma put their prom picture in a nice frame on her night table.
Stevan didn't hestiate to help himself to her bed!!
'Hmm.. he must've been tired too. Oh well, I guess I will sleep in Grayson's bed then. I'm not quite comfortable with sleeping with him yet.'
On their next date they sang some karaoke at Mick's.
And took some photobooth pictures for the first time.
I guess Jemma will get to go to University soon! I wonder what major she will do. Apparently after singing karaoke, she now wants to be a vocal legend like her mamma. (Although I had locked in the Fairytale Finder wish --find a unicorn-- when she was a child, the Vocal Legend wish came up and so I decided to let her use the lifetime points to change her wish.)
Here's some pictures Jemma edited of her and Stevan for her Simbook.. which unfortunately got taken down because they thought she wasn't a real person.
Starlight Shores got a new university! The recruiter guy was dressed as a llama... how weird! He came one evening and let me fill out an aptitude test while he creepily took pictures of me.
I did good in Fine Arts! Do you think I should do Fine Arts!? I love to paint, like my Daddy.
My brother Grayson is a nerd. He wants to go to university already, but of course he is way too young. Even I still have to graduate first.
"Mr. Llama guy, can I do a appi-tude test?"
Tegan was sad in the morning because she didn't get to see the the llama dude.
That night Dad and I went to mom's big concert at the Binder Clips Centre. She was amazing!! My mother is a superstar and I want to be just like her.
I think I'll give up my dream of finding a unicorn, 'cause I wanna be a Vocal Legend instead.
This policeman guy was creeping on me the whole night. Is he from the Pudding Village People or something?
Look at me jump!
"Woo! Go mamma!"
(Side note: Every time I load my game without CC, Garrick shows up in this balding hair. Is this a sign?? I let him stay in it for a bit so I could get used to him possibly balding in his old age )
The morning of Grayson's birthday, we all ate breakfast together. That almost NEVER happens!
"Mommy? I wanna have a sleepover party... cause you never let me have a sleepover party yet, and this is my last chance."
Wanted to let you know that the link for '07-28-12 Jemma Shows Off Her Ballet to Thaddeus' gets starred out on the forum so it doesn't work. And left you more comments!
