First thing I did was peek at Cassie aged up. I was wrong about her being a Jules clone
Here she is as a male
Definitely has Saoirse's nose
And here we are, back with Jules and Saoirse
Jules was teaching Cassie to talk
Saoirse was cooking and rolled a wish to take Cassie for a stroll. In the rain.
The stroller disappeared halfway through
Jules wanted a hot tub
Saoirse took Cassie back home and played with her some more
Jules and Saoirse got frisky in the bathroom. Saoirse had rolled a wish to have a baby (her lifetime wish is Surrounded by Family) so I decided to have them go at it in the hot tub after they watched the stars
Max decided to come and watch
"I have seen... things"
Then he wisely averted his eyes
Saoirse put Cassie to bed
The next morning, Jules burnt some waffles
He grabbed a plate of autumn salad from the fridge instead and looked at me as if to say, "This is all your fault."
Saoirse was feeling nauseous, but didn't end up vomiting
Jules got Cassie up and ready
Then he started teaching her to walk
Saoirse needed to deliver 3 fish to the grocery store
Cassie learned how to walk so Jules played with her
Look at that little pout!
He had a wish to chat with her, then attacked her with the claw
Saoirse delivered the fish
When she returned home, she didn't wait for Jules to finish cooking dinner before she grabbed a plate of leftovers
She put Cassie to bed and then went to relax
Jules broke the sink
Saoirse got her notice
In the morning she visited the spa for a massage
She and Jules ate lunch at home together
I had Saoirse finish potty training Cassie while Jules went into town
She rolled a wish to take Max for a walk so had her do that once Jules got home
After that wish was fulfilled, she had a wish to buy a waterslide and then use it (she can't use it because she's pregnant... you're so smart, Saoirse). So I had Jules use the slide instead
Saoirse had a backache so I had Jules come in and give her a massage
He put Cassie to bed
Random shower shot because why not
Jules gave Max some affection the next day
Then it was baby time!
Welcome Felix
His traits are Artistic and Friendly. I fully intended to give him Lucky but it's not available for babies
Jules had his snuggle and put his new baby boy in his crib
Does anyone know how to disable notifications about non active sims getting jobs and promotions.I have Nraas story progression and I went to town hall --- story progression ---general --- notifications----and turned it to none.But I still get the notifications.
While Stuart's nectar is being made, he plays the guitar in the nectary. (I made him play because, if left on his own, he would just keep pouring nectar and tasting it, and a bad nectar could make him nauseous.)
The next day there is no rain, and there are new grapes ready for harvest in the nectary garden.
Stuart had breakfast at the base camp and then heads for the nectary.
So far he's only prepared normal or nice quality nectar - I need very nice for his adventure to be complete.
Although harvesting and preparing nectar gets a little repetitive, Stuart is having a good time.
@PalmArrow I was so good when they first moved in and had them upgrade everything, but forgot when I switched out the fireplace in the bedroom. Would have been horrible if they had not been able to get it out...well, I'll be honest, I would have gone back to previous save. I don't think I could have kept going if something awful had happened.
I hope Stewart is getting better quality fruit from the garden to make the better quality nectar.
@Babykittyjade Welcome and thank you for the comments about the thread. If you ever turn to sims 3 feel free to share.
@jonny522 It is lovely to see how the family is growing and Mom and Dad are still available to help out.
I see they are still having fun too!
I miss fireworks so it is fun seeing them in your game.
Congrats to Ryan on the promotion. Sounds like the firm likes his style.
The family had a great gift giving day all together. Lovely to see.
@meerkattime Thanks for the comments. I really was worried about the fire and the pictures. Luckily it only scorched a few tiles on the floor. I do have a duplicate Dedric in the library with all my pics stored in him. I call him Dedric with camera to distinguish him from my other Dedric.
Love the update! The girls look like they are having a great time.
oh...that is a bit creepy that the proprietor is a clone! They say we all have a twin somewhere though so why not the sims too.
@Puddinroy Hope you get done soon with the installations so you can start playing.
@GraceyManor That is a shame you are not liking it. What you showed looked pretty, but looks are not everything, need playability too.
Hope you like the new world better. The pool of tears is certainly pretty.
You have to turn stories off to stop some of the notifications. You can choose friends, blood etc or none if I am not mistaken. I'm nosy, I like to know what is going on in my world. :l I fix it if they tick me off doing something incredibly stupid. I'm not in game to show the pathway, but the word story is part of it and I think it is on the first screen once you click SP then general. I'll double check once my game loads. You will still get some notifications because they can't stop EA ones.
@DeafSimmer Well, bummer that they managed to get into the mansion. You would think as royals they would have better security!
Discord got knocked out! Hopefully the girls can take care of the villains!
@Nikkei_Simmer Sure is taking them awhile to replace the fan. Must have a backlog of repair work. Bummer! I thought Haruo and River were dead.
@afai1261 Glad you've got your first year done and finally back to sims for a bit. I have to admire your restraint from playing during your university term. Lots of lovely pics of your sims and she looks like her Mom with a bit of Dad tossed in. Congrats on the new baby.
Mr Ping: Its nice to finally meet you.
Shifu: Likewise, Ena doesn't speak much about her family.
Mr.Ping: She's had a rough life...She's not my biological daughter, I adopted her
when she was little.
Ena: I'm not your real daughter?!
Ena: You never told me?! Yet you a tell him?
Mr.Ping: Calm down Ena, I was waiting for the right time.
Ena: And YOU! That's why you came with me to see him.
Shifu: Ena...
Shifu: I'm sorry you found out that way, but that's not why I came with you!
Shifu: I can't pretend that I understand what you're feeling...but I've been hurt in the past Ena.
I know it hurts.
@GraceyManor I checked in game. You go to Nraas at city hall, SP, general options, all stories, you will get a list and you can click on the stories you want to see or click on none for the stories to go away, but it will not take away the notifications that are EA inspired.
@bekkasan
I haven't played without NRaas in such a long time, I don't remember which ones are EAs.
But it said "So and so just took a job in the law enforcement career." It wasn't my sim it was a random townie.
Normally if I disable "all" stories via story progression, I don't get the promotion and career notifications of townie sims.
But for some reason disabling it in this world don't work.
@Nikkei_Simmer Sure is taking them awhile to replace the fan. Must have a backlog of repair work. Bummer! I thought Haruo and River were dead.
Yeah, just had a lot of problems getting a hold of a compatible fan that had a higher RPM to push more air through. But hopefully I should get it back sometime this month.
Haruo and River are dead in the legacy. , but I have them in other games. . Which means they may be making another series.
Always "River McIrish" ...and maybe some Bebe Hart. ~innocent expression~
This was too funny - and heartbreaking - I just have to share.
This family seems to have crazy bad luck. I recently was playing a different family and a meteor struck. I didn't realize it at the time, but the mom from this family was killed from that. It was my favorite sim's birthday and I was playing a different family, but remembered and switched over. Threw a party and was admiring how many people showed up when POOF! The birthday cake went up in flames!? I didn't even know that was possible. Since the house is so small and there were so many sims in the way, he couldn't get to the bathroom to extinguish himself and the firefighter couldn't get through either. But everyone had a good time at his party.
Emma is now a child, this was taken a few days ago as she is still a child in my game (5 days until becoming a teenager)
Ronald and Amanda welcomed a baby girl named Jenna Wan. I compared Emma with Jenna and have decided that the line of Ava, Amanda, and Jenna will be what I continue with. Jason's family will be moved out so they can produce more children since the house is full.
Jason's family just moved across the street. I believe a townie family lived here first, not sure which one. Also, there are only 18 original townies left, 19 if you count the unborn child of Claire Ursine.
Grandma Ava taking care of Jenna.
Jenna became a toddler last night in game. I have now reached day 77 with little lag so all is good so far.
And finally, Ava and her family gave up their occult statuses. Only Lacie kept her's, she is still a witch. A few Fountain of Youth Potions may be used but Ava used her last one. She will now age from the start of young adult until she passes away. Eventually, her descendants may have to move if the game gets too bloated but for now it is fine.
Two male friends who currently live together and share a bond through a mutual past trauma. Jules fell in love with a man-eater, Andreia, but she fell love with Chi, likely a Don Juan whether he just enjoys seducing women or being all their lovers I have yet to confirm since his A.I. is tricky to read for me thus far. Kanyin fell in love with his first girlfriend, Jean, but she fell in love with his oldest brother Chi. Jules and Kanyin both lost the woman they love to Chi. Chi got married and started a family with Jean while I suspect he still enjoys the art of seduction despite his traits not being anything romantic based nor his LTW. However, his LTW is Super Popular and that can be interpreted to many things by different people depending what kind popularity that interests them. Based on my observations of my Sims they usually have additional hidden traits, I think Chi has the Irresistible trait because I saw him doing an idle based on that trait. I think it was that trait.
Jules has tried getting closer to another female friend, Naomi, but she was not at all interested in him romantically. So far, he seems to be unlucky in his love life and no one has so far reciprocated a genuine affection for him...unless I'm forgetting something which is possible. For some reason, it seems he has become curiously interested in his friend Kanyin but so far has not shared this with him for obvious reasons so soon. Though, he has been dropping hints which Kanyin is starting to catch on to. From the response Kanyin's A.I. gives implies he doesn't appreciate this new development. All Kanyin wants to do is put distance between them now and Jules has become argumentative because of it. I notice he tries to get the friendship back where it was despite getting frustrated and keep ruining that.
This reminds me of a Japanese soap opera I watched years ago about two female friends but one of them was in love with the other despite knowing she was heterosexual. At the end of that soap opera, the friend eventually told the truth how she felt and that friendship ended because it got really uncomfortable understandably and she left her friend in the rain and then the movie ended like that as I think she was moving away or something like that. I don't know what happened to those tv stations but I miss watching Japanese soap operas and Bollywood music videos. (Randomly off topic: If anyone who is of the mature audience liked the movie Zootopia, you might be interested in the manga and/or anime Beastars. It has an interesting story, excellent characterizations, etc. A human drama played by animal actors.)
Here are some screenshots.
This is where I left off the last time with Jules and Kanyin.
On a different note. I was so annoyed that these random Sims decided to woohoo in Jules car so I put to use those mean interactions I rarely ever use. I declared him a nemesis and then fought him, then I declared his wife a nemesis but I chose not to slap or fight her though. But Jules kicked her husband's behind. Seriously, don't you ever woohoo in my Sims car or it's going to be a lot more Nemesis's to be made. Clearly, I don't think any social norms apply to that store content unfortunately and is just looked at as another location to woohoo which is annoying that applies to random Sims.
It's just a game but for some reason I kept thinking, "I need a car detailing and car wash!"

@GraceyManor , the mountains and waterfalls are so beautiful in the new world you're using!
@Nikkei_Simmer , I hope you'll be able to get the fan fixed soon!
She set to work, clearing the weeds from her plants:
Rachel then did some ice sculpting:
Almost finished!
And there it is!
Rachel looks at it:
'Interesting' she thought. She then sold it. Rachel then teleported outside and got the mail:
Rachel then teleported back into the skill room. She smiled at Iris:
Iris turned around and smiled back:
The pair then played in fairy form:
'That was fun!' Iris said, cheerfully. 'I found that fun, too!' Rachel said, chuckling:
Rachel then tickled her daughter in fairy form:
Rachel was happy that her daughter was happy. Later, she researched alchemy:
