Another Avoidance day..been awake since 1:30 this morning *tired* so I needed something brainless...built a house! Wanted one on top of a koi pond.
It was originally built on a 40x40 moved it to a 50x50 for more landscaping options.
Had to rip apart and redo the whole kitchen as there were major routing issues, it was from the land below the foundation being so uneven, though I didn't know that till I ripped the floor out....like I said I'm really tired (I should have figured it out just by going down a level)..
Good thing I always do routing testing.
"Old kitchen"
"new kitchen"
(pardon half nekked Jared)
Some inside views...it is nowhere near finished, I have tons of furnishing to do..
View from second balcony..
A few more outside views..It will get more windows I was just sick of building.
Connor and Jared are parked there until I can make sure there are no more routing issues.
Extra stuff..
The hot air balloon...the "people" in it are flat!
Josh...ex "rock star" (in a second class band), he never wanted to grow up so I decided to make him grow up and threw him in a house with 4 toddlers..in all fairness to him I gave him family oriented and nurturing.
His charges...Toddlers of Dylan, Belle, Simon and Jamie..they were in my bin from a child only save I was messing with a while back which I may go back to, it was in the same house as this save.
Jamie and Belle, merged right from the beginning (one of my "Always" pairs in every save...they are always together).
@CravenLestat that house is gonna be so cool. that entry you're working on. Be sure to post pics when you finish! @plushtrap_107 ty I really had fun messing around with the sliders @emorrill thanks sometimes I just want to mess around with the weird. So glad you're feeling better today *hugs* @Charlottesmom if that's what you create when you're " brainless " all I can say is WOW!

Hope you're feeling better soon.

@Nikkei_Simmer Yes. Though he looks more put-upon than skeptical.
@Mikezumi The Auto Collect mod simply directs a Sim to collect all of a certain collectable in the area where the Sim is. It's by DouglasVeiga at MTS, and can be found here.
@emorrill Sorry your not feeling well. Buffy the Lampwire Slayer wants you to feel better (she's not my cat, but I follow her on Twitter):
@Charlottesmom@MamaSimTee The latest episode of X-Files was very Black Mirror. If you haven't already, you should check that show out on Netflix.
@bekkasan Aria didn't get a Uni gnome, despite the fact that she both studied from and read her text book. I was very disappointed.
On the final day of Aria's semester, one of her dorm mates starved to death. She took the grave back home with her. She passed her semester with an A (so close to a perfect score, though). I'm thinking of sending her back for another degree. She'll probably be the most over educated housewife there is.
Well, Monday morning came soon enough for the Chikamori kids and Sandi. First day in high-school for Sandi and she knew that she had to get her grades up if she wanted to avoid being sent to military school. She knew that even though her step-father was an anomaly, being a free-spirit and a party-animal, the rest of the Chikamoris were uptight and results oriented. They thrived on order and routine as well as a good shot of good fortune. Even Aunt Fiona had turned into Medusa, as far as Sandi was concerned. She was so focused on her political career that her family, if they weren't so focused themselves would have wondered about her. Since she was only a teenager, she couldn't very well tell Aunt Fiona about that. It would not go over well. So off to the school bus she went...no matter how much she hated school. Morning for Haruo involved walking out to the mailbox to get the mail and pay the bills. Thanks, mail-lady. Just what he needed to start off the day; a §7952.00 tax bill. Guess what, your yearly taxes are due...from the Incorporated City of Riverview, Canada. You get to pay the lobster meal for the mayor of Riverview.../dripping sarcasm/ ...that pompous, opinionated windbag. Congratulations...that's where your tax-dollars are going. Even though he had enough money to eat out without worrying about finances. §13M was definitely a good chunk of money to live off of, he knew that he couldn't spend this money willy-nilly. If he wanted it to last and be a financial legacy to his kids he needed to nurse that money and make sure that the only expenditures that he made were actually financially needed. Even the cars, a seeming extravagance at University were so that he could use his time more efficiently instead of biking everywhere and wasting valuable study time commuting. Study time was important and that's why he, River and Masatoshi graduated on the Dean's List in comparison to other sims...so he came home and cooked a meal for himself and made several othe servings to use as left-overs for the rest of the family. Sandi came home from school and belly-ached and moaned about her schoolwork, but she sat down anyway and did her homework. Especially with someone watching her, it wasn't easy to cut school or avoid doing her homework. She definitely couldn't do either of those things without the consequence of a one-way ticket to military school. Yasunobu spent a lot of time on the piano playing. As he grew older, he enjoyed the little things in life and spending time engrossed in music was one of them. He also enjoyed tinkering in the garden, being self-employed in gardening. ...and very soon, there was a birthday party to celebrate the aging up of Alan to a teenager. As with all the Chikamori birthdays, it was a private affair, restricted to family members only and Alan didn't mind. It wasn't as if the Chikamori house was a town hall...and had enormous amounts of room for people to gather. Plus for him, it meant that the people who he cared about were around him. Then it was River's turn to age up. Haruo thought she was beautiful and hugged his wife. ...and Caitlin went downstairs to work off the cake just in case. ...and so River and Haruo grew into adulthood and Alan became a teenager and the march of time went on.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
@coco Thanks for the lovely comments
Beathan only has 6 athletic skill points but he does manage to get some hard throws in occasionally. I always feel sorry for sim kids but they keep wishing for more so who am I to judge
A CASP editing program sounds a little complex for my old brain but thanks for suggesting it. It's not such a big deal since I need to fix all birthday sims even if they get good hair
@JackiMah I am not familiar with Kingdom Hearts but your sims look adorable
@Charlottesmom Thanks for the lovely comments
I am always relieved when my sims pass without a fuss. I still take a long time to get through a death, though, because I usually pause when it starts to happen and step away from the computer for a bit.
I really need to hunt for Donnovan in my bin and see what I can make of him
@MoonandStars83 , Yup we noticed that too it, big fans of Black Mirror! My favorite is the one with Bryce Dallas Howard, watched that one 3 times. We’ve see all of them though, only a few stinkers in the bunch.
@Dancingstar Age up outfits are often good for a laugh - or a cry
@bekkasan Thanks for the lovely comments
I have no idea what happened with the Lotharios. I checked their relationship levels and they were all high!
My sims, although on high free will, can't leave the lot without my say so. I know I can set it so they can but I would be scared of them starting a relationship I don't approve of!
Thank god Alice was only singing Karaoke!
@CravenLestat Good start on Stephanie's house! I am sure it will be perfect when you are done
@emorrill Glad you are feeling better today *hugs*
Thanks for the lovely comments
Here's hoping that the pigtails are gone!
@gerefteast Great update Cute pics of the bubble machine
@plushtrap_107 Cute update of the toddlers learning their skills
The irony was Carla actually tried to blow a kiss towards Warren. This was because I gave her the irresistible trait from graduating at University but Warren actually rejected it lol I also was going to have Warren wink at Carla but she accepted it which she was not supposed to do so instead I had have Warren creep her out a bit more to make her on bad terms with him!
She does look cute in this picture though so I am going to use this as my profile picture
@king_of_simcity7 Great updates Will Warren end up with Carla?
I see that Warren is not having any luck in your next update! LOL
Cute pic of Carla
@Silverofdreams30 Thanks
Great update Darrel and Bree are cute together
Poor Bree getting scolded
@Charlottesmom That house is really amazing! You've done a great job decorating and lanscaping it as well
Poor Josh has been thrown in the deep end! LOL
Siamese twins! LOL
I hope you sleep better tonight *hugs*
@lisasc360 Thank you I think sims, no matter how old, are fine on the trampoline
@MoonandStars83 Thanks for the link but the mod is not for me. I have to have more control over the collection of individual gems by particular sims.
I got a popup that someone starved to death while my boys were at university. Sorry it happened to Aria's roommate
Congrats on Aria's great results
Jordan has his first great grandchild Liana had a daughter, Jess Matt aged up to YA and is in a serious relationship so I imagine there will be more great grandkids soon
Fife wanted to fish before 6am. Look who came to visit while he was fishing
This really had me laughing
Sam got Euan up and ready for his last day as toddler
For a natural cook, Elspet doesn't roll any cooking wishes!
Jordan woke with a wish to find some seeds. He was out the door before the family had finished eating!
The seeds were nearby and when he came home I had him say hello to John They talked and joked for a couple of hours and somewhere along the line ended up on a date!
Elspet's waking wish was to fish.
Beathan had several Euan wishes including taking him for a stroll. He started out all wrong!
Fife didn't have any waking wishes but had wishes to play catch with Sam and Elspet locked in from the previous day.
Birthday time!
No pigtails but not liking this hair!
Much better!
He approves!
Absolutely adorable! I am not looking forward to choosing an heir!
John was still there while Euan was having his birthday but was gone by the time he was finished. I sent him over to get to know his grandpa
His first wish was to learn the fishing skill
I'd left these two to their own devices once the gardening was done
Comments
Warren hasn't heard off Anna all day so he goes next door to visit her but it looks like she is trying to get back with Paul!
She knows that Warren is watching!
Just to make things worse!
An argument breaks out!
Later Warren complains bout Anna to Carla
Could she be a good rebound?
my net was down the whole day.
@king_of_simcity7 Aww poor Warren,
but he probably have better luck with someone else.
@coco Yep, I created him especially for Bree and they are so
adorable togheter.
@Karritz Lovely bakeries
@bekkasan haha yeah it was alot smooching going on

[img][/img]

[img][/img]
Next day Gayle and Bo arrived back home, Bree had cleaned

for something.
[img][/img]
But he left her off hook shortly after,
maybe realised his mistake lol
All for now

Warren is starting to fall for Carla already!
Could she be the one?
He takes it too far!
How disappointing!
He thinks that maybe trying to irresistible would be better...
Carla wonders what he is doing
It did not work...
That is one way to creep someone out!
@king_of_simcity7 Thank you
Sorry that I've been silent and just lurking here but I've been doing some WoW at the moment trying to get my gear level up on my level 110 BE Mage...
@Charlottesmom, nice house with the koi pond...
@CravenLestat, nice house and Sims...
@Mikezumi, sorry about John dying. Jordan better be careful on the trampoline so that he doesn't fall off and break a hip or a leg...
