    @bekkasan you’ll see why Duncan resorts to conscripting people soonNo spoilers but it may be necessary and yes unfortunately that means low life criminals as well

    Good evening my friends. :)

    I'm jamming out to 3 Doors Down music tonight. :mrgreen: (Seriously, if you haven't discovered their music, get on YouTube now! :grin: ) Wondering if I should get started writing Chapter 5 tonight or get in my game and take more pictures for it? ;) I'm thinking the latter.
    (And I'm totally thinking of certain characters and relating them to some of these righteous songs! :p Cause I love to do that! Hee hee!)


    Here's a few reply comments before I share some random pics of my Stardew Valley Sims. :blush:

    @emorrill I knew someone called Loretta once and she was younger than me lol

    @king_of_simcity7 Lol! See I've only known two Loretta's in my life and they were both old ladies! :lol:
    But you know, she looks like a Loretta so it fits. :)

    @GraceyManor You're welcome. :) And YES posing multiple sims at one time is a challenge! :cold_sweat: Remember Sam and Emma Beckett's wedding in my story? But yeah you did awesome with it! :star:
    Exactly...but she really wants to help...Ah you know my leading ladies all too well.XD
    ^Yes, yes I do. :smirk:

    @bekkasan
    emorrill I had a feeling you would like that picture!
    ^ :blush: I love how alike we think. <3

    ----

    When I was taking pics for Chapter 4, I paused the game to do something and found Elliott laying on the bed with this smile on his face and I was like...Wow! SEXY! :love:

    Adorable-Elliott.jpg

    It seriously shocked me how hott I thought he looked in that picture. :p<3
    (Forgive my 90's slang there of the word 'hot.' Old habits die hard! :lol: )

    During another pause I caught Maru going down the stairs in her...underwear and was like, "Daaaaang girl! Your chest looks so perfect I wish mine looked like that! (Oh and my body too...)" So guys this is for your enjoyment. :blush:

    Randoms-2-18-20-1.jpg

    I pressed Play and coming down the stairs behind her was Alex without his shirt on. :love: *Drool!*
    @Silverofdreams30 Alert! :mrgreen:

    Randoms-2-18-20-2.jpg
    (Dang Windows update made my default skin look plastic in some lighting. :confounded: "Hey! You're getting over it emorrill, remember? Thinking positive from now on!" :star: Ahem! )

    And no he and Maru were not messing around, in case any of you were getting any ideas... :smirk:

    I caught Harvey making this pose during another pause and OMGosh he's such a cutie! :love:

    Randoms-2-18-20-4.jpg

    Close up of his adorable face:

    Randoms-2-18-20-3.jpg
    (Please excuse Abigail's rack photobombing in the background... :neutral: Unless you're @KevinL5275 ! :p:lol: Sorry, I can't help messing with you sometimes. ;) )

    Emily was throwing a fit that someone knocked over the trash can. And I don't blame her...

    Randoms-2-18-20-5.jpg

    Sorry, I have to throw out two more lovely pics of Harvey. ;) Here he is in the hot tub.
    (You probably should've removed your shirt Harvey... ;):p:love: )

    Randoms-2-18-20-6.jpg

    Apparently he likes admiring his feet as much as the next sim! :joy:

    Randoms-2-18-20-7.jpg


    @bekkasan I'm sorry I didn't get any random pics of Shane for you. :( He was held up in his bedroom for...uh...reasons. :p


    Anyway, hope y'all have fun simming and please keep on sharing away! :)

    As you can tell from my latest avi(pictured below as well) Liam and his sister Gillian are now children! Oh, mama and daddy had another baby named Hunter. He'll be a toddler tomorrow! I may change their parents' aspirations to Surrounded By Family and give them one more kid, since I now play on an edited long-lifespan.
    49555337901_d590096134_h.jpg

    Here are Scott and Lily's adult looks. I edited Scott yesterday and Lily this morning
    49555338146_6d40f27d94_h.jpg
    49555577347_3b3f8dfd88_h.jpg

    I also have an age progression mod, so you'll see them gradually start to transition into elders the closer the get to that life-stage.

    Edit: Lily's new necklace was a birthday gift from her husband and children. 'What did she get Scott,' you ask? Well, she gave him another son(who is the fourth child for this couple)! <3

    "M'lady, I don't think it wise for you to just to go out riding alone.Shall
    I ride with you?" Mary asked, worried like a mother hen."I'll be fine Mary, you
    just stay.I'll be back before sunrise." "Oh..."

    Screenshot-38.jpg\
    "Your majesty, we must consider the possibility of the archdemon
    showing itself." "Isn't that what your men are here for Duncan?" "Of course."
    "So...we'll send the grey wardens to the tower of ishal, to light the beacon...
    That's when Jacob and I charge yes?" "That's how we hope it goes,sire."

    Screenshot-39.jpg
    "Mary? Something wrong?" Mary hated to intrude, but thought best, giving
    the circumstances."I'm sorry to intrude, your highness...But its Eleana." "Eleana? What?
    Where is she?" "She took off on Maiden to the pastures, near the north side of Praaven."
    "And you let her go alone?!" "She ordered me not to go....I'm so confused...Who do I listen to?"
    "Maker's breathe...Its alright Mary.I'll be back."

    Screenshot-40.jpg
    "Good day,your majesty.How goes it? A young villager said as Edward approached.
    "Good morning, Have you seen Eleana nearby?" "I did, sire.She was riding maiden, just
    over yonder past the old mill." "Thank you m'lady."

    Screenshot-41.jpg
    "Maker's breathe, its like a wood stove out here....Swim would be nice, come
    maiden."

    Screenshot-43.jpg
    Eleana removed her gown down to the brown corset underneath."This looks like a good spot."
    "Are we having fun Eleana?" She turned find Edward and Roi behind her."What are you both doing here?"
    "The same to you.Put your clothes back on and let's go home."

    Screenshot-44.jpg
    She walked over to a small lizard, pretending not to hear her husband."Eleana..."

    Screenshot-45.jpg
    "IF we're done looking at lizards, I must really get back to Duncan...And your coming
    with me, now lets go." "You have to catch me first." Eleana darted back toward Maiden, and quickly
    threw her clothes on.

    Screenshot-46.jpg
    "Maker's breathe...I'm getting too old for this.Come on Roi, we should be used to this by now."
    Roi neighed: I don't mind, I have a lovely view back here.XD

    Screenshot-48.jpg
    Maiden decided to throw Eleana off her back, tired of the antics of running.
    "Oww, maiden!"

    Screenshot-49.jpg
    "Eleana!" Edward ran to her side."I'm fine...Its not the first time." She
    responded."So I've been told.Come on let's get you up."

    Screenshot-53.jpg
    "Well, you caught me...I'll come peacefully." "Well, I'd prefer if you came willingly.."
    "Oh?"

    Must...not...say...what I think it looks like Edward is about to do in this picture! :joy:
    (Forgive me...)

    Screenshot-49.jpg

    Cute update. :) You had me worried that she was going to run away from him for a while. :p LOVE this kiss at the end! <3

    @emorrill

    I noticed :D:p<3
    Some of my skins look plastic with that update too, not all of them but it depends where
    they are oh well, we better move on from that :/.
    He always looks handsome shirtless or not.

    @bekkasan

    Thank you, I hope Rafe will find out what those runes are
    too soon.

    @GraceyManor

    She should be happy she won't be a Grey warden, their
    tragic ends are not too fun. But I understand she got upset.
    I love all the poses you use, I am too lazy to pose too often.

    @Brandontaylor

    Thank you, hope you are doing well.

    "Good morning, Eleana, where are you off to? "The bookstore, and don't worry,
    Sarah is escorting me."

    Screenshot-58.jpg
    "Oh, look Duncan! Something is wrong." Eleana said as Duncan
    came running in the room.

    Screenshot-60.jpg
    "I'm sorry to interupt, but word from the north is, lothering was over
    taken by darkspawn...we need to go to Ostagar, and...I need recruits."

    Screenshot-61.jpg
    "Sir Thomas, showed interest in joining." Edward said to Duncan."I suggest
    testing him." Eleana shook her head."But you don't allow me to try?" "Eleana, I need
    you here.." Eleana started to get upset."Duncan....can't you do something?!" "There is,
    m'lady."

    Screenshot-62.jpg
    "Duncan, you better not!" Edward demanded."Your majesty, I have no choice.I hearby invoke the
    rite of conscription and recruit Eleana into the Grey Wardens." "Finally..." Eleana mumbled."Maker! Duncan!
    I hope you think your clever, you just hurt your cause.." Edward shouted."Your majesty, I had no choice.She
    goes to Ostagar with us."

    Screenshot-63.jpg
    "Eleana, are you sure you want to do this?" Edward pleaaded."He conscripted me,
    you can't stop it." "Maker...I know that...I really hope your happy." Edward walked away

    "Eleana, Its not too late to change your mind..." Edward tried pleading with
    her one last time.

    Screenshot-67.jpg
    Duncan: At last we come to the joining...The grey wardens were founded
    during the first blight, when humanity stood on the verge of annihilation.
    And so it was when the first grey wardens drank the blood of darkspawn and
    mastered their taint.
    Thomas: We're going to drink the blood of those....monsters?
    Duncan: As we did before you and as did the wardens before us.This is the
    source of our power and our victory.
    Edward: Those who survive the joining become immuned to the taint.They
    can sense it in the darkspawn and use it to slay the archdemon.
    Eleana: Those that survive?
    Duncan: Not everyone who drinks it will survive, and those that do are forever changed.
    This is why the joining is a secrete.

    Screenshot-68.jpg
    Eleana: I take it, you knew all this already Edward.
    Edward: Of course, why did you think I didn't want you to partake in it?
    Duncan: We speak only a few words before...Edward:
    Edward: Join us brother and sisters, join us in the shadows where we stand vigilant.
    Join us as we carry the duty that cannot be foresworn....and...and...
    Edward hestiated as he looked at Eleana...
    Edward: And should you perrish, know that your sacrifice was not in vein.
    Duncan: Step forward Thomas.

    Screenshot-69.jpg
    Thomas: Maker....
    He took a big sip out the cup...

    Screenshot-70.jpg
    And was unable to to survive the taint...

    Screenshot-71.jpg
    Duncan: I am sorry, Thomas....maker watch over you.
    Eleana step forward.

    Screenshot-72.jpg
    Edward: Duncan, don't make her do this.I know you conscripted her,
    but please...don't do it.
    Duncan: I have every right, to force the conscription...but I won't.I will let
    Eleana decide.

    Screenshot-73.jpg
    Edward: Eleana....I'm begging you...don't do it...I would rather do it,
    if Duncan needs one of us...
    Eleana: I have to do this...

    Screenshot-74.jpg
    Duncan: You were called upon to submit yourself to the taint, for
    the greater good.From this moment fourth...you are a grey warden.
    Eleana drank the mix....her nightmares showed the archdemon...the darkspawn...
    She fainted.

    Screenshot-76.jpg\
    Duncan: She's fine Edward, we all have nightmares when we first join.
    She'll be okay, when she wakes up.

    Screenshot-77.jpg
    Edward: You owe me...Eleana...I mean it.
    He pulled her into an embrace.

    For anyone interested: Here's the grey warden joining

    @emorrill i love Harvey being fascinated by his foot! It’s like he’s thinking “oh look, there’s my foot... wow, they do so much, most animals are quadrupeds yet we walk upright on just two feet...” (Ok that’s just me imagining what I’d be thinking :D:D )

    @GraceyManor I’m intrigued to see what happens next! It’s a shame about Thomas, but these things can happen. He understood the risk and did it anyway. I don’t think I’d be as brave haha :D

    Proper update coming soon, I’m not on my computer right now.

    I'm always making improvements to the worlds I play in. I've been making changes/additions to Bridgeport here and there for a few years now, as you may have seen in the past

    Now the Powell House station has been nagging at me lately. I replaced the converted mansion with the laudromat from the Town Life pack, and so that made the Powell House station look pretty out of place. I actually didn't even change it right away. I have had quite a few sims go to the laudromat too in the year or so since I put it there. But recently its been nagging my subconsious. I took a look over there recently and felt like it didn't belong the way it was. After some thinking on it, and some planning, I finally dove in and made changes to it. I got a lot of ideas over the course of a couple days or so, and while renovating there was some trial and error with some looks I didn't like etc.

    Gotta say, I'm pretty satisfied with these changes. It fits the look of that side of town now with the laudromat there now and the rest of town getting a more metropolitan look rather than an old city look.

    @PalmArrow Thank you! That looks like a very pleasant office, and it's a nice sim you made there :smile: .

    @LunBeauty I have been thinking about replacing the Egyptian base camp, as the tent allocation doesn't seem to work very well.
    Yes, that mod that eliminates foot tapping is one of my essentials.
    Heh, let's not talk about my decorating. For the most part, I don't really care that much. I gravitate to simply using the stuff with the best stats, which means that it's always the same stuff and makes everything look the same. I really have to fight to use something different from time to time. I probably need a mod that equalizes the stats of beds and sofas.

    @GraceyManor I see, Morrigan and Flemeth? Looking forward to them. :lol: at discarding the "extras". You can't really kill a main character in such a wasteful way. But yes, I remember that scene very well.

    @emorrill Oh, you already know that I'm on good terms with Captain Obvious :smiley: .
    Nice pics of your cast. Of course, there's absolutely nothing wrong with photobombing in some cases :lol: .

    @bekkasan Thank you. Yes, my witches - and I have dozens of those in my game - are all too nice. They tend to throw love charms (if I forget to switch those off) and sunlight charms around, only the occasional toadify spell. I haven't seen a toadified sim who didn't deserve it yet.
    Sometimes, the number of characters just get too much. I already had my family splits, and I'm considering another one.
    I wonder whether you know yet what you will find behind those doors :smiley: . Well, I will see (or not :lol: ).


    Just testing something out, using the Dunes brothers (OL natives).

    Haven't played in a couple days...

    I'm considering trying to design my own world and have my sims move there, but I can't decide and I don't know what to do with CAW yet...

    I'm thinking about starting with the Sunset Valley or Riverview empty world and go from there.

    I plan on using some stuff from ATS3 for mine, but might consider a no mods version in the future.

    Any tips?

    Not much has happened in my games. I pulled up my B game to test a few things before I try them in my A game. I don't want to mess things up for the one game I'm using for my story. So, what I learned: how to add sims to a household when they don't exist in game yet, and got me some plantsims for future use.

    @king_of_simcity7 Nice looking sims and poses! :)

    @Lucy_Henley I always put my toddlers in the same room, even if they're opposite genders. It's only when they become children do they get different rooms. Hey, baby hair smells really good. :lol: I love the smell of baby shampoo.
    It looks like everyone is having a fun time in France. :) It's my favourite destination for just normal vacations

    @king_of_simcity7 Loretta looks amazing in her formal and outerwear! I usually use silver/white studs or hoops for them on just about every outfit. Those types of earrings go good with every look!

    @GraceyManor It's okay! I am too a bit.
    I can see why Eleana is interested in joining. She's that kind of person who wants to do her part, even if it's dangerous.
    My game does that too. I can't do heavily staged scenes without my game doing something completely unplanned. :lol:
    A lot of shows and movies based in those times take a lot of creative liberties and most of them aren't 100% historically accurate, but back in those times and for many, many years after that, women didn't have much of a say in anything. Their husbands or fathers often spoke for them and made decisions for them.

    @emorrill Elliot is very sexy, but Harvey will always be my one true love! :love:
    I'm sorry the graphical glitches is also affecting your skins. I know it affects just the normal EA skin, but I didn't know it was so bad as to affect custom skins.

    @HillyBeth The family looks very good! They're aging up pretty fast. :)

    @GraceyManor This was really romantic, but I can definitely understand Eleana's desire to want to get away just for a little while and enjoy herself without someone following her all the time. It seems she doesn't get any time to herself as queen.

    @king_of_simcity7 Nice poses and swimwear! :)

    @Silverofdreams30 Oh, be still my beating heart! :love:

    @GraceyManor Poor Edward...I can see how on first glance, he might come off as that controlling husband, but he really just wants to keep his wife safe. I hope Duncan isn't up to anything shady.

    @Shadow_Assassin Nice pictures and adorable sim!

    @GraceyManor Now we know why Edward didn't want her to join in the first place. It really was about her own safety and even life as there is a chance of death when joining. Rest in peace, Thomas. I didn't think the same would happen to Eleana, but it was still a relief when it didn't.

    @HillyBeth The kids are adorable! In my simself family, my simself and her husband ended up with 4 kids. Only one of them had their dad's blue eyes, but the other three ended up with my brown eyes.

    @SimsxZelda_fan Very nice changes to the worlds! I agree that a lot of the worlds need updating.

    @Turjan I do think one of the custom base camps replaces the Egyptian Base camp with an actual building. I can't remember the link though. :(
    Fair enough. :lol: I admire those simmers who can spend half an hour on one room. My method is to decorate all rooms with the essentials and then go back afterwards and throw in a few random bits of clutter, like magazines on the coffee table or a cookie jar on one of the kitchen counters.
    I also have a habit of using the same bits of furniture. I just have my own comfort zone and some pieces of furniture just look better than others.

    "The Korcari Wilds? Why here?" Eleana asked."The darkspawn hide deep within the
    Korcari Wilds...This is where the bulk will show its ugly face." "I see."

    "We need someone to light the beacon to signal Jacob and his men? Yes?"
    Edward asked pointing at the map."Yes, it is not a dangerous task, but it is vital." Jacob
    said."Well, then Eleana can do it." "You rely too much on these grey wardens Edward, do you
    think its wise?" Jacob asked annoyingly."Well, maybe we should wait for the Orlesian reinforcements after
    all?" Edward snapped back."How fortunate Maric did not live to see his son ready to hand Praaven over to those who enslaved us for a century!" Jacob sneered.""Our arguments with the Orlesians are a thing of the past, and you will remember who is king!" Edward shouted."ENOUGH!" Jacob demanded."This will do, grey warden and QUEEN will work on the beacon."

    Screenshot-13.jpg
    "Are you sure this is all you need me to do?" Eleana asked disappointingly."This is by your husband's request,
    Eleana.It is important!" "Alright, if you both think its best."

    Screenshot-14.jpg
    "This is just your way of keeping out of the front lines isn't it?" Eleana looked
    over at her husband, who was eyeing her.XD "Maybe." He said.

    "This will be a glorious battle for the king, won't it jacob?" Sir Eric asked his
    general."The king will regret his decisions...Of that I have no doubt...."
    "What is that suppose to mean?" "His fascination with glory...will be his undoing..."

    Korcari Wilds hours before battle....
    Putting this in spoiler because...well it shows a bit of what will happen, though
    some of it will be changed to fit my story...This video is from Jacob's point of view(AKA Teryn Loghain)

    @rubyskywalker Ive never really experimented with CAW. It seems way too complicated for me. I’d be too wary of causing routing issues... I mean, if EA themselves put out worlds (hello, Isla Paradiso and Bridgeport) with routing problems, I’d probably be worse!
    I didn’t mind creating my own neighbourhoods in Sims 2, where you just had to choose from a list of templates and then place the buildings.

    Hello friends. :) Got a random post here. :p

    For the past 4 years I've been using the same default skintone because I love the heck out of it! (Mostly because of the way it would make male sims chesticles look. :smirk: Don't judge me! :p ) But due to an unfortunate Windows 10 incident back in December...which has affected the appearance of my game...I'm discovering that this skintone looks more shiny and plasticky than it used to and while I still love it, for now it's gotta go. :disappointed:

    I did a little shopping around to find a skintone that's just as nice, and gives the males lovely chesticles :lol: , and remembered one that Mikezumi recommended a while back and I think uses often in her game. I checked it out and found it to be pretty similar to my favorite skintone. It's Kurasoberina (KB) Primer HD skin. :)

    I did try this skin out once before, because I had the package file saved away in my "Skins" folder in my Sims game backup stuff, and I guess I wasn't too impressed with it because I loved my current skin so much (and at the time Sam Beckett didn't look very good without it! :flushed: ) and...I'll be honest, I don't like change. :confused: (It's an anxiety thing, those of you who have it will totally understand.)

    But this is a change I need to embrace and I have to admit...the skin looks MUCH better to me now than it did then. Why? Maybe because at the time I tried it, like I said, it killed Sam Beckett's sexy look so I refused to give it a chance and therefore couldn't see it's beauty, or maybe trying it now I see that it is a lot less plasticky of a skin than Eskin Fresh is...

    When trying it out on the Stardew Valley characters...they all look GREAT in it! :star: I have yet to try it out on my Sam...guess I'm a little nervous to at the moment. :neutral: But I'm sure he'll look fine.

    So yeah, maybe in this instance it is my bad eyes playing tricks on me :confounded: , OR it very much is the whole terrible result of the Windows 10 update, but I really think Alex's chest here looks too shiny and like plastic. (Not realistic like it used to always look...)
    And I would blame the lighting, but I was watching him walk around in all sorts of different lighting and his chest still looked fake. :pensive: I had a sad... :cry:

    Case and point:
    Randoms-2-18-20-2.jpg


    So I threw in the KB Primer HD skin and tracked down Alex immediately! :grin:

    He was at a community lot so I decided to check out how his lovely chest looks in that light with the new skin.



    Screenshot-31.jpg

    ^Not bad eh? :grin: I mean maybe there's a little iridescence, but certainly not like it was with Eskin Fresh. And it looks more real and natural.

    Next I sent him home and placed him in a darker setting:

    Screenshot-32.jpg

    ^Oh my YES! :love:

    I don't know if the rest of you see much of a difference, but I sure do. Now I am happy! :blush:


    I needed to track down Harvey to make sure the skin looked good on him as well and I wish I'd taken a picture for y'all, but I guess I decided against it since he did look good in it. ;) You'll see him again in my new Chapters anyway.

    When I tracked him down it took a moment for him to show up, so there was just this book magically floating in the air with a mysterious force turning the pages. :lol: (And THIS is what I took a picture of! :joy: )

    Screenshot-29.jpg


    I then tracked down Shane to see how the skin looks on him and he was looking annoyed as usual. :lol:

    Screenshot-30.jpg


    When switching houses and checking the skin on the girls, it took a LONG moment for Maru to render...

    Screenshot-7.jpg

    ^Daaaaang girl that HAIR! :lol:
    But yeah the new skin looked very lovely on Maru with her darker complexion. :)


    I also got to work changing textures on a few walls and sim clothing to keep those dreaded pixels away!!! It REALLY works folks and helps you feel better about the look of your game if you've been affected by the update like I have. :star:
    Tagging @bekkasan here :)


    Penny's skirt Before:

    pixels-1.jpg
    ^Yuck! :confounded:

    Penny's skirt After:

    Screenshot-28.jpg

    ^I know she turned so it's not a complete comparison, but trust me, the front was just as pixelated as the back. This new texture hides them very well and actually gives the skirt a more realistic, fabric-like look. :) Boo ya!



    Well, that's it for my random gameplay. :mrgreen:

    I'm still working on taking pictures for Chapter 5 of the story and working out some of the happenings in my head. I hoping to start writing it very soon. Life's gotten a little crazy lately...so thank you everyone for your patience. <3

    Keep calm and Sim on my friends! :)

    @emorrill I am not as familiar with the skin tones and of course I am less likely to look at a male one than a female one lol :D

    @LunBeauty Yes, I have seen (and downloaded) a replacement base camp for Egypt in "Moroccan" style from the same author I got the watering hole from, I just haven't tried it out yet.
    Yes, I'm also a "creature of habit" :smiley: . I at least have some collections now in the hope that I will just try and find a style of stuff that goes together instead of the old mainstays. I will see how that goes.

    @emorrill KB Primer HD is the skin I have been using for quite a while now, and yes, I still like it. It's my default replacement. I think Mikezumi uses it as default base for characters she doesn't play herself.
    You could argue it smooths over too many facial details, but I guess that's a small price to pay.
    oInsgDv.jpg
    It kind of makes Consort's ageing mod look less than ideal though, as the face masks applied through aging look like painted on, which in turn makes sims look younger when they turn into elders.
