Alexandra is up early baking birthday cakes after she and Jared get the twins ready for their big day. Jared takes the babies for a stroll while Alexandra bakes. Alexandra tastes the batter and it is yummy. She finishes baking and decorating the cakes and sets them aside until time for the birthday.
Kendall has to work at the diner, so they hold the party early enough that she can celebrate with them. Jamie is the eldest twin so Alexandra helps him blow out the candles first. She is amazed with all the hooting and clapping and zingers and whistles blowing that Jamie is so calm and not crying up a storm. In the blink of an eye and flashing lights Jamie becomes a cutie pie toddler. Jared pics him up and snuggles him close loving his little boy even more if that is possible.
It is Jade's turn and she is just as calm as her brother was. She has a sweet smile on her face enjoying being the center of attention. Kendall has changed her clothes as it is almost time for her to go to work. (creator had to stop the push to send her 3 hours early!) Alexandra helps her blow out the candle and soon the lights flash and swirl and Jade becomes an adorable toddler. Jared picks up his daughter, snuggles her close, tickles her and makes her laugh. He also loves his daughter more than he thought was possible.
Kendall has rushed off to work and the others enjoy a slice of birthday cake. The twins play peekaboo, laughing and pretending to be scared.
Jared cleans up the dinning room and kitchen. Derek picks up Jamie and plays a few games with him. Alexandra feeds and rocks her daughter. Kendall snags a piece of birthday cake when she gets off work.
The household quietens down after a fun and lovely day celebrating the twins birthday.
@bekkasan Was checking out the tricep on your sim, all that baby carrying gave her smexy arms.And look how realistic the inner cake looks in your screenie where they are all at the table.That is my favorite cake from the game sims team got so much better at making stuff.

Those of you who use custom worlds, I have a question...
if a world was created before all the EPs came out, would there be any issues since I do have them all installed? Like venue/rabbithole-wise for the newer EPs?
There is a story I have been wanting to do, just looking for the right world for it. And this one is lovely. I wanted something with a town/rural feel, but without an ocean/beach, because I wanted a Midwest feel.
I hope everyone had a great weekend! I just caught up on all the pages since Friday but it's too many comments for me to make sorry. I didn't get to play at all over the weekend which was disappointing. I had a bit of time on Saturday but ended up playing Lego Star Wars instead . I should remind myself to share some pictures from last week. I get so far behind lol. Also had a beautiful lunch with my family on Saturday to celebrate our birthdays. On Sunday I purchased a beautiful Merino wool jacket
@bekkasan Can't believe that it's time for the twins to grow up already. Aw I love Jamie's little mohawk. Interesting how they both inherited different skins. Those Thing 1 and Thing 2 onesies are great!
As Liv eats her favourite meal, the cute widdle kitten takes a tumble behind her in the grass!!
Chase and Sarah doing their homework the next day - Kimbra teaching Zelena to talk in the background.
That night Liv attended a party thrown by her grandfather Eddy. I was laughing because Eddy left the entire party to be taken care of by his husband, Liv's other grandfather, August.
Ariella Chen-Khan was there, and Liv introduced herself. Ariella is in politics, and I gave her a makeover, Liv wished to perform an ink blot test on her, which I allowed her to do.
When Eddy got home, he and his husband just immediately got into bed together, leaving their daughter and her wife to host the guests.
When Ariella Chen-Khan had to leave due to tiredness, I sent Liv to chat with her mother before sending her home.
Taking care of her garden the next morning:
I play Sims 2, Sims 3, Sims 4, and The Urbz: Sims in the City on gamecube and ds. Main Game: Sims 3

Here's my 100 baby challenge update from Storybrook below.
Storybrook County,Maine-Late Winter-1552.
Tanner and Tracy Ivanovitch were both up very early that morning and getting ready for the day quickly to be greeted by a thin layer of snow covering the ground over the ice.
They were both working hard on their paintings at 7AM when the paper carrier dropped off the paper as it was getting light out.
It started raining with freezing rain later on that morning as they were still painting.
They stopped to start getting ready for work at noon and were ready to leave at 2PM.
They got home at 6PM and stopped to eat dinner and use toilets before getting to bed by 7:30 in the evening.
@emorrill I'm not sure if you're still having problems getting rid of that counter but I just read this and my 'ears' picked up about the dependencies bit. Hope it helps a bit
Download with dependencies can’t be uninstalled
You’ll get this message if the download came with a world. You can’t uninstall those unless you also uninstall the world itself. Most of the items need to be uninstalled separately after removing the world.
@polrbear Whatever happened to Charlotte's sisters? I don't think I've seen them in your game for ages. @OriginalMara Star Wars games are amazing. I haven't played the newer stuff but I have lots of nostalgic memories playing Battlefront on the PS2 and of course Lego Star Wars. That game is so much fun
Edit: What's wrong with the word 🐸🐸🐸🐸.ked?

@coco Thank you for sharing! That does shed some light... I'll have to delete the custom worlds I don't use and see if they are the culprit! {{{Hugs}}}
The forum is always plumming the silliest words, when I feel that other, more strong (or bad) words should be plummed.
@polrbear , so many cute pictures of your family! My favourites are Sarah and Chase hugging, and the one with the kitten playing in the background.
@bekkasan , the twins are lovely as toddlers! If I ever have twins in game, I'm stealing your idea of giving them matching pajamas - that's super cute!
@CravenLestat , thanks for the examples of trait-based paintings! Disappointingly, the Artistic trait modifies paintings in the least interesting way!
@Mikezumi , that was a really nice last day in Bridgeport for your household. I liked the screenshots of them swimming under the bridge and of Rory playing basketbal with more or less success!
Thanks to everyone for the comments. I am now back from Chicago and took a good hunk of time to play. So fairly big update.
First, look at this monster.
An amorous hug with Beau at her salon caused feelings to reignite for Yas.
And ended up causing a whirlwind of issues.
She and Beau went out to eat and get drinks. This would turn out to not be the best idea. As an affair can soon turn pretty public when one or both parties isn't quite in a good state of mind.
A friend of Rafael's had seen the kiss. Knowing very well that he would inform Rafael of this, Yas made the not-so-good decision of breaking up via text. And spent the next day doing one of two things. Sulking...
Or finding comfort in her new boyfriend.
When she felt she was at her wits end, she and Beau decided to take a trip. They didn't do a ton, other than just hang out, but it helped get their minds off of the debacle back home.
Haruo decided that he was going to fish for death-fish that night after midnight. And it just so happened that Mayumi decided to crawl out of her grave for a "haunt"...the witch. She was a handful; both evil and mean-spirited, so she was a spiteful piece of work. Luckily though the Watcher was alert...and before she could escape her confines...well...pictures are worth a thousand words. Gotta say, lightning is still a shocking experience, even for a ghost.
So Haruo was able to fish for deathfish, 🐸🐸🐸🐸 by haunts from his evil mother - who pretty much was shocked back into the netherworld. In the morning, Haruo realized that he no longer had any perfect steaks and would have to buy normal ones to plant. He also bought a large number of burger patties too. Why not plant them as well. Then he could harvest ever increasingly better quality of steaks and burger patties until he got perfect plants again. After all, he needed to deal with the garden and make sure that they were always in stock of perfect vegetables and meats. Evidently the city had created a recreation park in the plaza right next to the grocery store. He then went to the potion shop and consigned a few gemstones, spire-cuts tended to land a whole lot of money, so he focused on that cut. But one could only do it with a certain cutter and luckily he had one. When Haruo got home, he decided that he was going to make chicken teppanyaki and set about to doing just that. The family partook of Haruo's cooking and they were content. Both the founder's wedding photo and the heir's wedding photo was placed on the wall. Haruo certainly wasn't sure about the efficacy of the sprinklers in an inside garden because the crops seemed to always wilt. So he had to pretty much water everything by hand and then revive those plants that were dead. It was a royal pain in the posterior, but he needed those cheese, eggs, steaks and burger patties. Greta and Braden enjoyed the new slide in the indoor pool that they had on the second floor basement. Ah, the luxuries of life. In fact, they also had a waterfall that they could duck under and get thoroughly soaked. Haruo decided that since the time travel portal was dangerous, he took it and quarantined it, so that no sims in town could go through the time portal and change the past. Fencing it up was a wise decision. After all, if something changed in the future it could certainly affect the past. Creating a temporal paradox would certainly cause upheaval in present day. A causal loop happens when a future event is the cause of a past event, which in turn is the cause of the future event. In fact another potential paradox was the consistency paradox which meant that any change in the past could affect the future; and even more so a retrocausality could mean that anything that a sim could do in the future could potentially affect the past. Pretty heady stuff to say the least however, better to be safe than sorry and thus Haruo decided that Back to the Future was not going to happen, at least not in HIS lifetime.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
@ZhakiraP I love the whole medieval setting you have going on there. I tried to start a medieval household before, but couldn't find enough content that worked well in my game. I'm kinda iffy about what CC I allow in.
@OriginalMara I can't wait to see what else Jason gets up to!
@Nikkei_Simmer I try to be harsh, but usually end up giving them whatever they want, within reason.
My parents only really started saying no to me when I became a teenager and started to gain some interest in boys, lol. I remember doing a lot of chores just so my dad would say yes to me spending the weekend at my boyfriend's when I was 16. Even if we wanted to do something besides kissing, we couldn't. He had a bunch of cousins and a younger brother who didn't leave us alone the whole time and his aunt was pretty strict about the open door policy. Plus we weren't allowed to stay in the house by ourselves. So, my dad had nothing to worry about.
You'd think that Irwin, being as big as he is would be a bit braver, but he really isn't.
I don't think I've had the Arezzo CC in my game. I checked the launcher and my DCBackups, which I always delete. It's not anywhere in there thankfully, but I'm cautious about downloading anything from the exchange. Apparently, even creations that I've uploaded onto the exchange and downloaded again have caused my game to crash.
At one point, there was six toddler potties in that house and all of them were full.
@Mikezumi That view really is nice.
Jessica gets the want to prepare meals all the time. It really helps since the family usually has leftovers for a few days.
Yes, because playing chess at a beach is so much more fun than swimming. Actually, I'd probably play chess instead too. You never know what's in those waters.
Poor Rory. He just can't make that slam dunk can he?
I guess Lachie can't either.
The thing is, there was nothing wrong with them, their needs were full and they had toys right there.
I didn't know sims could do that with the seesaw! I feel like I tried that one time in real life and it ended badly for me.
Everyone seemed to have a nice day on their vacation, but I bet they're glad to be back home.
@bekkasan Happy birthday Jamie and Jade! They did turn out so cute!
@polrbear Very nice update! I wish I was brave enough to add CC furnishings back into my game, but right now I'm enjoying playing with minimal lag.
Looks like the family had fun at the festival.
@Emily4331 Whoa! What happened there? Please tell me you were just playing around with sliders and it wasn't some bad CC. :shock:

@CravenLestat Babies are good exercisers!
I'm hungry and would like some cake, but, I do prefer chocolate!
@OriginalMara Thanks
I think the only issue you would have is if you didn't have something installed that was required by a world.
It looks lovely.

The girls decided that since it was Saturday, it was a good day to pack up all three kids and head out to the Summer Festival!
The obligatory family greeting card for the season, and to record the progress in the family.
Chase cheered after getting a sun painted on his face - his sister waiting patiently for her own turn.
Kimbra was getting very good at skating:
Chase always seems to love how many flowers are at the festivals:
Liv set off some fireworks:
Sarah looked super cute beginning to practice her own skating:
It wasn't long before Kimbra and Liv found one another among the fun activities.
Their littlest one preoccupied herself with her teddy:
Her mamas occupied the photobooth:
The entire family skating with the exception of toddler Zelena:
Sadie Mason-Richmond had won a hot dog eating contest! Her pup was there with her as well.
Winner gets a.....makeover! Free gift from me!
Sarah got some ice cream while her brother got chili cheese fries.
In reality they're in a separate save, but that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
