@Turjan Now I have time to read your other posts.
Elvira sure was 🐸🐸🐸🐸 slapping Elektra there wasn't she? Poor Elektra...
Guess the Littler's are regretting getting divorced. Always nice to see Ethan's muscles.
They don't have any money, but I went ahead and actually gave them beds, given they still live in Polly's old dump, which only had one single bed total for seven people.
^Wooooooow.
Those poor, hungry kids...
This picture is awesome!
I like the colors on Stella's outfit. Though I'd never wear anything like that...
Oh wow! That's a very odd outfit for Vlad...
On a different note, didn't we talk about chest sliders recently?
^YES! Oh my, she is quite well endowed isn't she?
So...are Ethan and Jessica officially an item? (If I missed that somehow, forgive my brain...)
@Sprottenham I think this darn forum made you miss my previous tag too. It's all good. Most people don't get mine for some reason...
Funny Palash likes the graveyard so much. NOT me!
Sounds like they both want kids. That's good.
I think I'm ready for Spring now, as much as I love Winter, especially seeing your pictures of the Spring Festival.
Enjoyed the rest of the update!
@lisasc360 The sewing room is cute! And looks great! Nice cc!
I was just thinking that I should add the sheep to my medieval sims 3 folder. Might have to snag that knitting and sewing table cc for it too.
@Emily4331 Yeah the forum is very bad when it comes to Notifications... Me no likey.
Thank you I was hoping someone else had memories of the beef lip era!
^LOL! Oh yes. It was hard to forget.
I grew up in Southern Arizona so I went to school with a lot of Hispanics and...they rocked the outlined beef lip look ALL the time! I mean, it suited them so...
It's funny how old styles make a comeback. The flared jeans in high school were totally the return of bell bottoms, but they just looked more hip! 👍 I still love flared jeans...
@texansky Nice to meet the Marsdens.
How'd she lose $400 from the piggy bank?
Oh no, what a rough start to their life in this place...
Before I have a chance to hang the clothes, some crazy gal in a llama suit rings the doorbell and drops off a basket of stuff from her university. Like I can afford to go to college! I haven't even graduated yet. And now she wants to chat? I don't have time for this. I chased her off.
^LOL!
Wow she wasn't kidding how much of a pigsty their place is... Makes me sad for them...
Okay, I couldn't help LOL'ing at this:
After I ate, I went to use the restroom and Dad had clogged the toilet.
Boy I sure hope Loni has a better day tomorrow...
emorrill You are very welcome. Hope you enjoy it.
^I very much am. TY again.
@bekkasan The sewing room you created for Gardenia is lovely. And cozy too.
You're welcome.
I spent WAY too much time yesterday dorking around in the new and improved Praaven (I blame you@ZhakiraP ! ) and preparing it for a future story.
But now I need to get back to my CURRENT story! (And finish decorating up the Disney Magic Kingdom house shell in between. ) No worries people! More of the Stardew Gang will come soon!
@lisasc360 Why do the random calls always happen when our Sims are busy?
Sounds like a scammer, trying to pretend they aren't scammers.
Ruby isn't a very nice person.
Lol, I like when they shiver after a cold shower.
Great update!
Lol, a ball is a funny thing to cry over.
@Astro Looks like you found a lot of good items to use.
Great job!
@GraceyManor Nice that she provided him breakfast.
Looks like he got on the horse the right way at least.
Great update!
Uh oh, hope Jacob can get the horses back.
Miri is lucky to have a scientist staying with her.
Geez, what an awful thing to do. If he gets caught, he'd be in trouble. It's bad to call in a fake 911 call.
Hopefully he is okay.
Great update!
@Turjan You're welcome.
Yeah, a lot of kids being born does make it hard to remember.
Oh, I know. I always feel dumb when I delete comments or something too.
It is pretty funny.
Yeah, I think this movie might help gain some more Elvis fans. Maybe not a lot, but maybe some. Of course, I enjoy these types of movies anyway, I watched "Walk The Line" about Johnny Cash when it came out, and I've watched "Great Balls of Fire" about Jerry Lee Lewis. The Elvis movie, Secrets of Dumbledore, and a few superhero movies are on my list of movies I want to see this year.
It's always nice when they get that 30th painting in. My founder was a painter and she made a ton of money after hitting it since she could paint them so fast.
Does look like a Showtime outfit.
@MamaSimTee Thanks, I feel a lot better now. I think having the vaccine helped me too, I only really had symptoms for about a week.
@Karritz Nice to put a face to her name. I like how unique Hetal is.
Glad you are gonna reunite the Plumbot with its family.
The urn has a nice view behind it.
Nice China pictures!
Great update!
@Emily4331 The first version still looks nice.
Number two and three look a lot more like her. I had to look her up though since I don't follow wrestling.
***Time for a couple Langerak updates. Will do more comments tomorrow as it's already 6:08 here and I want to play before I get too tired.
Brandon was the only one who needed to eat, and he was also the first up. He played drums after eating his breakfast, he plans to drum in Lily's band.
Harlan talked with Rose as soon as she woke up. They are pretty close, but maybe not a full relationship bar.
Downstairs, Lily decided to play chess with Holly. The twins will at least have a few skill points in logic by the time they leave the house.
Nearby, Ivy decided she wanted to play video games instead of learning a skill.
Daisy decided to randomly take a selfie with Rose, and I really like their facial expressions in this one.
I had thought that I'd finished with Rose's driving skill, but I actually hadn't. I had Harlan help her get her license.
Lily went to city hall to officially register in the band career. I don't know how far she'll get in it, but it's more for fun than it is for money. She got a phone call on her way home, and it must've been a good one because she didn't look mad.
Brandon wanted to gain in athletics so he decided to use his aura to help with it. It also helped Daisy and Rose with their logic skill. At this point, Daisy still hadn't reached level 10 yet, so she hadn't finished her LTW either.
Brandon and Lily decided to go on a date to the Bistro. When they were done, Lily saw an incomplete snowman so she decided to make it a complete one. John Langerak happened to be there, he is Lily's uncle. Brandon needed to chat with him to complete an opportunity so it worked out perfectly.
The following morning, I decided everyone should eat breakfast together. I figured they should at least once or twice a week.
Harlan needed to chat with 3 Sims to finish an opportunity, so I saw there were several deceased members of the family who had came back for the night. Here, Harlan chats with Emily Jones, the whole reason this family even exists.
Lastly for this part of the update, Daisy bought a skill booster elixir in the hopes it'd help with her logic. However, it boosted another skill instead.
Both Harlan and Daisy had reasons why they needed to exercise, so I set them up to do so for as long as they needed to.
Lily invited Elizabeth Gaffney over so she could get to know her. With Elizabeth being a vampire, she'll be around awhile. There is a good possibility of me trying to marry her into the family somehow.
However, Harlan hated her as soon as he saw her. He could deal with witches and werewolves, but he wasn't the biggest fan of fairies or vampires. I remember I had fun trying to get him to befriend Brandon. I don't know why, but he probably should have the Supernatural Skeptic trait.
Lily had a jam session with Brandon. At the time, Rose wasn't available to back them up with the keyboard.
Rose invited Pierre over and they spent some time together. I don't remember, but I believe I was trying to get them to be in a steady relationship but he had to leave too early or something.
That following morning, Daisy went back to playing chess. Still didn't have the last skill point at the time the picture was taken, though she may have gotten it by the time I had her quit. I can't remember now since it has been a bit since I took these screenshots.
When she did stop, she spent a bit of time with Harlan.
Holly decided that she wanted to paint a picture so I left her alone to do so. I don't know if she'll go far in it, but it's something for her to do.
Daisy had forgotten to practice martial arts, so she talked Harlan through the first skill point so she could spar with him. This means that between the picture of her playing chess and this one, she had completed her logic skill.
Brandon and Lily are really enjoying their extended engagement. I just had to wait for the right time to try and have one. It was winter at the time so they couldn't have it outdoors.
Lastly for part 2, Ivy and Holly were just getting ready to play tag.
***One more update for tonight, but if I have any screenshots left, I'll save them for later.
Rose tried to invite Pierre over, but he wouldn't come over. Instead, I ended up sending her over to his house and they chatted there, until it was time for him to go to work. Luckily, his father showed up right about that time so Rose stayed and chatted with him.
After a few minutes time, Pierre came back from work and Rose finally got to ask him to go steady.
Then at one point in my last play session, it was time for Rose to become a Young Adult. Of course, when a Plantsim ages, they always go back to these clothes. I don't know how much you can tell, but she has the same exact face as Daisy.
For her makeover, I did a few subtle changes to her sliders to make her a bit different from Daisy. I believe I gave her a darker eye color too, just to make her a bit unique.
Pierre had stayed with the family for the night so he got to enjoy the party as well, although you can't see him very well.
Lily played some more guitar to try and build that skill up.
However, I decided to clean out the kitchen so I could throw a wedding for her and Brandon. The twins and Rose are all getting closer to being able to move out, so I decided now was a good time.
Then, some family members and guest had a jam session. Brandon's drums went invisible for some reason but I fixed it later. Afterwards, the family went to the Bistro to eat while I put the kitchen back together the way it was. I took a picture with my smartphone so I would remember how it was set up.
Lastly, Lily and Brandon showered together since they both needed to. Of course, we know what they were doing in there.
Officer Rogers: I'm sorry to bother you while you are recovering, Doctor Rush.
But we need to ask a few questions.There is a young lady who says she pulled
you out of the river when someone attacked you.We don't fully believe her story
and suspect she might be involved in your attacks.
Jacob: ..Young....Brianna!
Officer Rogers: You know her?
Despite his injuries, Jacob jumped to his feet to confront the officer.
Normally, he wouldn't dare talk back to a law enforcement officer, but
he felt the need to protect Brianna.
Jacob: Where is she?
Officer Rogers: Being held at the station for questioning.
You're alone now, so you can be honest with us.
Jacob: Brianna is telling the truth. And if you don't release her,
we're going to have a few more problems.
Officer Rogers: Calm down, Jacob.We just have to ask to be sure.
She was the last to be seen with you.We received a 911 call stating
someone saw her kidnap you.
Jacob: That's absurd! Brianna would do no such thing.
She's a friend of mine.
Jacob was losing patience with the officer, and had all he could do to not
deck him.However, Jail time was not something he felt like serving, so he backed
down.
Officer Rogers: We'll have her released.
Jacob: Thank you..
Jacob felt like he needed a little more rest, and went to lay back down,
when his phone went off.
Jacob: Wait a second, this isn't my phone, its Briannas...
Jacob realized he must have grabbed Brianna's phone by mistake.
He wasn't sure if he should answer, but the caller seemed persistant.
Jacob: Hello?
Miri: Auntie Brianna? When you coming home?
Jacob: Miri, is that you? This is Jacob.
Miri: Where is Auntie Brie?
Jacob: She's not home?
Miri: No, said she was going to check on you...she just left
little while go, but I can't sleep, she usually reads me to sleep -cries-
Jacob: Miri, don't cry, I'm sure she'll be home soon...ok?
Miri: You promise? -sniffles-
Jacob: Promise.
Jacob hung up the phone and decided to discharge himself from the hospital.The desperation
in Miri's voice was heartbreaking, poor child wanted her aunt, and it was his fault she was out
and about.He cautiously made his way through the corridors, trying to blend in with the crowds.
He made it to the elevator, and pressed "G" for ground floor..."Oh come on now! Hurry up" He said
as he pushed his way through the people getting off.He exited the building to find a strange man waiting for him.
Stranger: I'm very tired of chasing you down.We are just trying to Protect you.
Now you need to come with me.
Jacob: I'm not going anywhere with you.
Stranger: I had just about of this nonsense.
The stranger wrestled Jacob to the ground trying to pin down.
Jacob fought back, trying to knock his attacker back.
Beau: Brianna, I told you trying to help this guy was just gonna
cause trouble! You're being very irresponsible now, lets just leave
Brianna: Now, you listen to me Beau, If you saw a young lady being
attacked, tossed in a river and god knows what else, would you just
leave her?
Beau: Of course not...but..
Brianna: But nothing....its the samething.
Beau: Fine, you go check on Jacob, I'll handle Mr Hot Shot.
Beau was the type of guy you didn't want to mess with, his broad shoulders and
bulldoggish walk was enough to intimidate even the smartest of kidnappers.
Stranger: Who are you?!
Beau: You're worst nightmare..
Beau decked the stranger across the head, knocking him out cold, the man
fell to the ground all hunched over.
Beau: Don't worry about me, just get yourselves home.I'll take
care of our visitor here.
back at the ranch.
Jacob was feeling guilty for bringing so much danger and chaos
to Brianna's family.He contemplated leaving. He knew she would be
much safer without him there, but part of him didn't want to leave.
Jacob: I told you not to help me...It would just put you all in danger.
I probably should leave.
Brianna: Its fine, Jacob. We've dealt with worse people then these guys.
My family is used to helping.
Jacob: I don't want to be the cause of your family getting hurt.
Jacob felt awkward talking to Brianna. He wasn't sure why he was so
concerned for this girl. He blamed it on his concussion, causing him
to make irrational decisions. He knew he should leave, but something
was not letting him go.
Brianna: Honestly, I'm not worried about them Jacob...I'm not afraid
of them. I can handle myself.
Jacob studied Brianna, for the first time he realized just how sweet,
and caring, and beautiful she really was.
Miri: Auntie Brie are you home?
Miri's call made Brianna and Jacob jump to their feet.
Brianna: In the living room.
Miri: I can't sleep auntie brie.I was worried.
Brianna: Its okay, want me to read to you?
Jacob: Actually, I have an idea...may I?
Brianna: Of course..
Jacob took Miri's hand and led her outside to the front yard.
He grabbed his telescope from his bag and quickly set it up.
Jacob: That bright star there, is That would be Polaris, the North Star.
Even in the China Sea, that's north.
Miri: My house must be located southwest.
Jacob: Miss Miri, you are a bright young lady aren't you.
Jacob: Polaris – is famous for holding nearly still in our sky while the entire northern sky moves around it.
That’s because it’s located nearly at the north celestial pole
Miri: I dunno what that means, but it sounds neat!
Brianna: Its really nice of you to spend time with Miri, she doesn't
get out often.Thank you.
Jacob: Just my way of saying thank you, for helping me.
And I mean it, and I know I don't always say it.
Jacob smiled at Brianna, studying her reaction to his compliment.
Miri: What's wrong with the sky?
Brianna; What do you mean?
Miri: Its green and purple....look
Jacob: -laughs- Nothing's wrong with it Miri, That's Aurora Borealis.
Miri: Bored what?
Jacob: Most call it the Northern Lights.
Miri: Why is it doing that?
Jacob: The Northern Lights are actually the result of collisions between gaseous particles in the Earth's atmosphere with charged particles released from the sun's atmosphere
Miri: Huh?
Brianna: Might need to kid that down a bit.XD
Jacob: Right...The Northern Lights are actually caused by electrons from solar winds. They are attracted to the poles by the magnetic fields found there. They mix with gases in the atmosphere, causing the gases to glow
Can't really see them with all the lights..
Miri: Aww...:(
Brianna; Come we can go up to the pond.
When Dawn was done at the sewing machine, she went over to Nathan because she wanted to start a water balloon fight but Nathan told her later as he continued to talk to Elaine about gardening.
Dawn then went to compliment Nathan on his looks which he just loved to hear as he flirted back with Dawn while Elaine was watching. Of course Elaine didn't want to see or hear Nathan and Dawn flirting as she's been trying to hook up with Nathan.
Elaine then tried to give Nathan flowers again which again he declined explaining to Elaine yet again that his heart belongs to Dawn.
Elaine went over to the corner of the room to look at the wall while Nathan took Dawn in his arms and did a dip kiss and then gave her a hug (Nathan did that on his own.)
Nathan then asked Dawn to turn around so that he can give her a back massage.
Elaine walked back over to them and saw Nathan giving Dawn a massage.
Elaine is wishing that she was in Dawn's shoes so that she was the one getting the back massages and the kisses and all of the attention.
Elaine starts crying because she feels so unloved and can't understand why no one wants to be with her.
Nathan and Dawn start to flirt with one another again while Elaine looks on.
Nathan does another dip kiss on Dawn again with Elaine watching and wishing that it was her that was getting the dip kiss.
Nathan and Dawn getting flirty again when one of them suggest taking this to the bedroom for a little bit of privacy.
Nathan and Dawn cuddling on the bed after Nathan made sure that the bedroom door was locked to everyone but the household as they wouldn't want Elaine to walk in on them since she seems so interested in Nathan.
Since Nathan and Dawn left the sewing room, Elaine decided to try out the sewing machine again. Maybe she thinks that if she makes him something that he can use that he will see that she's prefect for him and that he will leave Dawn for her.
Donny: I got up bright and early the next day and went into the bathroom to do my daily routine in there while I let Lisa sleep until she's ready to get up and then I fixed myself a breakfast burrito for my breakfast. I then took it to the table and sat down to eat it. It tasted pretty good being cooked in the microwave.
Donny: After throwing away the burrito wrapper and cleaning up my plate, I went to the bookshelf as I wanted to read a book about handiness so that I can learn how to fix things around the house.
Lisa: I see that you're up already and reading a book. Are you reading your textbook before class this morning? Donny: Hey there sleepyhead. Sleep okay last night? No, it's not my textbook as I'm reading a book about handiness so that I can know what I'm doing when I need to fix things around the house. Lisa: I slept so so on that bed. It could had been better if the bed had been more comfortable and not lumpy. Oh, so now you're going to learn the handiness skill now that we own our own house and not have to depend on the landlord to send a handyperson over to fix things for us. Donny: Well yes, that's why I'm doing this. Plus is saves money that we could be using for other things. And you do know that I do know basic maintenance service as I was the one that my siblings came to to fix their broken items up. What are you reading? Lisa: I'm just reading a cooking book to help with my cooking skills. Donny: But you're a nature born cook, so what more could you learn? Lisa: There's still a lot of things that can be learned while cooking. Things change over time as well as recipes and appliances and cookware and other stuff. Even the top chefs keep learning new and exciting new things everyday as well as new and improved recipes. Just like you can be a master electrician and still learn things as wiring and electrical appliances and wiring changes over time.
Donny: Now what are you doing? Lisa: I'm going to sit on the floor and do a little drawing next as that is my next class afterwards. So I want to hone up my drawing skills as well.
Lisa: Do you hear something moving around outside? Donny: Yeah. What do you suppose it to be? Lisa: It's a wild horse outside over at the neighbor's house.
Lisa: And now before you ask, I'm just reading my book from last night so that I can be ready for my first class today so that I can act like I know what I'm doing. Donny: You'll be fine today in your class. You can ace this class with your eyes closed like you always do. Lisa: You think? Donny: I know you can and I've seen you do it before.
Donny: Do you hear the horse neighing? Must be something outside that it doesn't like. Lisa: Yeah, I hear it neighing. The neighbor just walked up his walkway towards his house and the horse didn't like being snuck up on. Donny: Okay, was just checking since horse can be spooked by anything and take off running in the opposite direction.
Lisa with her tummy rumbling: Well now that I'm done my studying for now, I will fix me a breakfast burrito. Are they any good? Donny: Yikes! It sounds like you need something to eat as I can even hear your tummy growling at me... And yes, they are good.
Donny: Come on Lisa, you can clean up the dishes when we get home later today as we don't want to be late for our first classes this morning even though we're right across the road from the building that we need to go to. So pick up the pace some. Lisa: I'm coming Donny. Just let me slip on my shoes real quick and adjust my hair bun on my head. Okay? Donny: Sure, but do it on your way out the door slow poke...
Lisa: I'm not a slow poke, I was just getting dressed. Donny: You were getting dressed at the last minute, so you are a slow poke... Lisa: Okay mister, you just watch yourself over there before you get a knuckle sandwich... Donny: You need to catch me first to give a knuckle sandwich and I don't think that you can catch me slow poke...
Lisa: Darn it, I went the wrong way trying to get to my first class. But thankfully it's still early and I won't be later getting to class.
Lisa: I saw Ruby after class and she was complaining about being hungry. Poor little Ruby didn't think about eating before class or even bringing something to snack on when in class. I don't feel sorry for her.
Donny: Hey Babe. How was your first class today? Lisa: It was great. Of course I paid attention in class and was called on a few times and got the answers right. Of course I saw Ruby outside when I left the building and poor little Ruby was starving to death. Oh well, she should had ate breakfast before coming to class or had a snack on her to have for later. How was your class today? Donny: Oh it was okay. Maybe not as exciting as yours as I didn't get called on but only once and then nothing afterwards.
Lisa: Oh that's too bad. I guess we can talk some more after the next class as it's time to go to them now. Love you Sweetie... Donny: Love you too Babe...
@Turjan Yeah, Elvira is always good entertainment at a party.
Sentience gets in the way a lot and causes them to ignore the other chips. I agree that it's best to leave that out.
I know of some real life ex couples that are like that, hanging out together even though they aren't together anymore.
Yikes, I bet some of them had to sleep on the floor for a while.
I can't believe the parents in the game, not feeding their children. I had a toddler crying at a party my family went to last night and every Sim just sat there and complained that it was crying.
Great update!
He definitely looks different when not in black.
Looks like the sliders are at the extreme settings, lol
It takes too much effort for ambrosia, I always use the life fruits that way too. I rarely make the ambrosia anymore.
Congrats on level 10 of the culinary skill! I love having the refrigerator, although I lost the one Chris Jones got for my family way back at the beginning.
Another great update!
@lisasc360 The sewing room looks nice.
Nice garden.
Glad Nathan didn't accept the flowers.
Great updates!
@emorrill The 90's was a good time to grow up in, I've got a lot of good memories from that time. Funny thing is, I wasn't into comics back then, probably because I was young but I remember I had a black suit Superman action figure from the Reign of the Supermen story arc following Death of Superman.
Yeah, it took me by surprise.
I'm a bit nitpicky now I've learned more about the real Titanic. I found some other mistakes too, but one thing I stand by is that Jack could not have gotten on the door like people say. People don't realize it, but it's not actually supposed to be a door, but a part of the ornate wooden door frame. I guess they pulled up a real piece of the Titanic that is similar to what James Cameron's crew made for the movie.
She's got some things, although not as much as some people. She has several original vinyl records she bought when he was alive, a ton of CD's, a few posters, books, and some other stuff. And yes, she was one of the ones who swooned over him. Not to get too much into things, but when she was a kid, she took a trip down south with my great grandparents. Great Grandpa let her pick songs on a jukebox and she randomly picked a guy named Elvis Presley. As soon as she heard his music, she was hooked. This was before he was known across the US, he was just starting out at the time so a lot of southern states knew of him. Her love of his music just kind of went from there. Her husband, my grandpa, used to tease her about how much she liked him, even though he somewhat liked Elvis too. Sadly, she's never been able to go to Graceland, and neither have I. However, my mom and dad went in 1990.
@Nikkei_Simmer Gas isn't cheap anywhere, it seems. Where I live in Illinois, we are at $3.71 a gallon now.
@Sprottenham Whoops, he must've been out of it to think he had to work.
Must be about ready for kids then.
Hope she found some eggs.
Great update!
@texansky Nice to meet the Marsdens.
Nice, more money for them to get started with!
Yeah, the llama people seem to turn up for every teenager and up, lol
Wow, he really made a mess of the bathroom.
Great update!
@GraceyManor At least he is up where they can clear Brianna.
If he did hit the cop, he might be able to use the defense that he was still a bit out of it from the attack, but glad he didn't, lol
I don't think they are trying to protect him.
Great update!
Lisa: Woah, I've made it to 2nd class of the day. So let's go in and see what I can learn today in art class.
Lisa: While I was in class, Marsha Barrington was outside after her class talking to her turtle.
Lisa: Then Marsha sat down next to Che Justice who then stood up and striped off his clothes to go streaking around campus. WOW! That's one hairy dude right there...
Donny: Hello! Scam Caller: We like to talk to you about Medicare and what your benefits are... Donny: So, but I'm not old enough for Medicare. So you can take your scam and scram as I'm not interested in what you're trying to sell. GOODBYE!!!!
Donny: Hey Babe! How's it going? Lisa: Hey Sweetie! It's going just fine. Who were you talking to on the phone? Donny: A scammer trying to sell me Medicare which of course I'm not old enough for, so I told where to go and them hung up. How was your art class? Lisa: It was good. They just went over the basics of art and what it's about. Hopefully soon we will be doing paintings and drawings in class. How was your class. Donny: Oh, we just talked about lasers and the different uses for them and the history of lasers.
Lisa: Ready for some dinner? Donny: Sure. Are you thinking of the burger joint? Lisa: Sure was. Donny: Okay you lead the way. Just be careful when crossing the street as I don't want you to get hit.
Lisa: I like the look of this place as it reminds me of the old diners from the 50's with the waitresses on roller skates bringing out customers food on trays to sit in the window frames on their car doors. Donny: It sure does. Too bad there aren't any classic cars around for us to look at. Lisa: Yeah, as I really love looking at them and seeing the ladies in the old poodle skirts. Donny: What are going to have to eat? Lisa: I don't know yet as I need to see what's on the menu.
Lisa: Boy that was some very good Bouillabaisse that they have there. I need to learn the recipe for that now. Donny: Yeah, that was pretty good. I can't wait until you learn that recipe as well.
Lisa: Let's head on back home now as it's getting late. Donny: Okay Lisa. Just be careful riding the bike after dark. Lisa: I will. You be careful as well.
Lisa: EWWWWW GROSS!!! Something smells terrible in here. Donny: It's that plate you left there this morning from your breakfast burrito that I'd told you to leave until we got home today. Lisa: Yeah, I forgot about that plate. Here let me wash it up so that the smell goes away.
Donny: Now that you're done taking care of the dirty dish, would you like to go outside and watch the stars before we head to bed? Lisa: Of course I would love to watch the stars with you. Donny: Okay, let's go outside and sit on the porch.
Donny: You see that star over there? Lisa: Where? There's a lot of stars out here tonight...
Donny: That one right there, the blue one? Lisa: Oh yes, I see it now. It's pretty. Donny: Yes it is but not as pretty as you are... Oh, there is a shooting star, close your eyes make a wish and it'll come true. Lisa: Okay, I've made a wish. Donny: Same here.
***Last part of these several days, next update after will be from last nights play session.
Harlan spent a little bit of time watching TV in the morning.
Daisy didn't come downstairs when she woke up and instead read a book.
When Brandon got up, I sent him to get some breakfast since he was hungry. He's like 90 days away from being an adult now so he'll outlive Lily. However, she might use some methods to live longer just so they can stay together.
Lily went downstairs to play some chess. It was still winter so she couldn't really do anything outside.
Rose had a wish to make a snow angel so I sent her outside to make one before sending her back in.
Holly had a wish to skate so I sent her off to do that.
The other family members also went to the park with her, but they didn't make any money for the band.
Daisy decided to try out the snowboard thing and she did pretty good.
Pierre happened to be on the front steps when he aged up. He needs a makeover but I'll get to it soon. He's not living in the house with the family anyway, and since Rose is a young adult now, I moved her into her own house.
Daisy's social bar was getting pretty low so I had her chat with her sprite.
When Lily came downstairs, she complimented her mother on her looks then they just chatted about random stuff.
Holly decided to paint another painting, this one gained the family $6.
Once everyone woke up, everybody but Harlan went to the diner for breakfast. Behind Brandon's wings is his grandmother, Rain Langerak. She is getting closer to being an elder but she probably won't hit it for several weeks.
Harlan had a wish to use the martial arts dummy so I put it out long enough for him to use it.
When Daisy got back home, she and Harlan took a steamy shower together.
Lily and Brandon practiced their instruments.
Meanwhile, Daisy exercised for 6 hours straight for a wish.
The twins played chess together. One of them didn't even have any logic skill when I thought they did, but both do now.
Harlan went to a party where he chatted with a distant relative of his. However, the guy kept neglecting to feed his toddler.
John Langerak was at the party and a random named Deidre gave him flowers. I thought he was still with Carly but maybe I'm wrong.
Dwight was also at the party so Harlan went to chat with him and gave him a hug.
I tried the divide by 0 thing on Daisy, not knowing what would happen. Guess I won't be doing that again.
Lastly, I sent everyone to bed but had Brandon get something to eat. However, he forgot to eat his supper so I had to wake him up to eat.
***Got too tired to finish the day last night so this is only part of it. I'll play the rest of it tonight.
The main focus of this day was to celebrate several birthdays, so I had Daisy go first. I pretty much dressed her the way she was, but not 100% with all outfits.
Then it was time for Ivy to age up to teenager. I think she turned out well.
Last but not least, Holly aged up. I just used MC to copy Ivy's clothes over to her, then colored them differently so they aren't the same. Then the family ate cake before i shut things down.
After a break of about 2 years Oscar's Teen Years Part 2 is now loading to YouTube. It has lots happening in it and is a very busy video. It begins with informal introductions to the residents of the boarding school and then we see the sims living their daily lives. With so many different sims in the household (19) there is always plenty happening. This video includes 3 very brief visits to the World Adventure worlds to buy books.
The video is still a few hours away from being available for you to watch as it's barely started loading and I've made it HD quality so it has a huge file to load and that'll take a several hours. It runs for about 30 minutes. I had more to add but that would make it too long. I did let it run on a bit after signing off as I just had to let you see the cuteness of all 8 of the children sitting together in the school yard doing their homework.
Now I'll need to play more of the game before I can make the next video but it'll be a couple of weeks before I can do episode 3 of this story.
Happy Simming all.
EDIT: Update - it's been a few minutes over 2 hours loading and it's at 23% uploaded. This was at 10:33 am my time. The post was originally made at 8:21 am my time.
Now it's 13:05 pm my time and it's 50% uploaded. And I just got an unexpected phone call. It was from the owner of the internet network. I know they've been doing a lot of work on the network for the past few months. They just told me I am not getting the internet speed I've been paying for and so I'm being upgraded to a fibre optic connection that'll give me lightning fast internet and the upgrade/repair to the network is free. I don't know when it might happen though. Hopefully soon.
@lisasc360 Cute new family!
Nice sewing room. I love it. I made one a few years ago for Gardenia with just the lovely cc that was available then. The room was narrow so the pictures are not that great.
@lisasc360 The sewing room is cute! And looks great! Nice cc!
I was just thinking that I should add the sheep to my medieval sims 3 folder. Might have to snag that knitting and sewing table cc for it too.
Thank you...
You should add the sheep, the knitting and the sewing into your game. I just love having that kind of cc in my games...
@lisasc360 Why do the random calls always happen when our Sims are busy?
Sounds like a scammer, trying to pretend they aren't scammers.
Ruby isn't a very nice person.
Lol, I like when they shiver after a cold shower.
Great update!
Lol, a ball is a funny thing to cry over.
Right! They seem to think that everyone has time to talk to them...lol
Yup. I've had calls like that where they will say that they're not trying to scam anyone thinking that I'm going to fall for that lie. I hate the ones that claim that I've won a trip when I haven't even entered into any contests to try for a trip.
No she isn't. She's rude as heck and thinks everyone should bow down to her.
I think that's the first time that I have ever saw that.
Thank you...
Right!
@lisasc360 The sewing room looks nice.
Nice garden.
Glad Nathan didn't accept the flowers.
Great updates!
Thank you...
The garden was already there when I moved the sims into the house. I just added the fountain from MTS so that my Sims can go turn it on to water the garden.
And thank you again...
I haven't played my game for a couple of days now as I have been playing World of Warcraft Tuesday night and yesterday as Blizzard added a new update to the Shadowlands EP on Tuesday. It's suppose to be the last one for this EP. Now we're just waiting on Blizzard to announce the next EP coming out which they usually do when they do Blizz-Con every year but they didn't do one last year due to the legal issues that Blizzard was having with some of their former employees with some type of misconduct that was taking place in the work place. So we're hoping that an announcement will be made this year for a new EP as I'm ready for some new gameplay for WoW.
As usual Brianna was up bright and early to get started on chores.
But she didn't expect to see Jacob up early.
Brianna: Morning Jacob, hope your feeling better.
Jacob smiled back at Brianna. Seeing her made him feel better.
"This concussion is doing strange things with my head" He kept
telling himself. "Once its gone, I'll think more clearly." He thought.
Jacob: Morning, Brianna. I'm feeling a bit better.
Jacob: Morning Oscar....You'd make a good hunting dog wouldn't
you, I can tell. You're a smart boy.
Jacob taught Oscar how to hunt, thought he would be good at discovering
gems.
Brianna: Marshal likes you Jacob, and that's saying something.He's
usually very stubborn with people.
Jacob smiled as he brushed Marshal.He liked being around the horses
as well.
Jacob: He just needs a little love is all.
Jacob decided he would give a hand at bee hives, but it turned
out he forgot to smoke the box and ended up with a bee attack.
Beau: I think it best if you go help Brianna in the stalls.
Jacob: Fine by me...
Jacob could sense Brianna's brother didn't care for him at all; and frankly
Jacob didn't like him either.
Jacob: I don't think your brother is fond of me, and I don't blame him,
I'm causing nothing but trouble for you all.
Brianna: Beau doesn't like anybody, don't worry about it.
Jacob: Come up into the loft with me.
Brianna: I don't know anything about science. I can't help with that.
Jacob: And I didn't know anything about horses either.
Brianna: You're going to make me try, aren't you?
Jacob:
Jacob gave Brianna some of his equipment to work with.She hadn't
the foggiest idea what she was doing, and feared she might blow the barn
up.
"Here let me show you Brianna" Jacob said as he grabbed the glass.
"I'm so confused." Brianna admitted, she never did well with science.
But Jacob was eager to tutor her, just as she helped him with the horses.
Brianna: Oops, I didn't mean to drop that.
She looked down at the ground where the mixture had poured on to the floor.
Jacob: Its fine, its nothing that will cause harm, you can just wipe it with a towel.
Standing near Brianna, Jacob felt his heart begin to race and an onset of nausea. "This concussion
is making me not feel so well" he thought; worried that he might be having
some sort of medical emergency.
Brianna: Are you okay? You don't look like you feel well.
Jacob: I'm not, I think maybe we should took a break.
Brianna: You need me to take you to emergency room?
Jacob: No...I..I think I'll be fine if I just go lay down for a bit
by myself.
Brianna went downstairs to give Jacob some time to rest and recover
from his episode. Brianna wondered if his head injury was getting worse.
Brianna: Just checking to see if you are feeling better.
Jacob: I'm feeling okay, thank you for checking.
Sarah: Can you bring these to Kurt Brianna.
Brianna: Ugh...Fine.
Jacob: I'll take a walk with you...Fresh air might help.
Brianna: Hey Kurt, how are you?
Kurt: Brianna! Hey, long time no see.
Brianna: mom wanted me to deliver these cookies to you...
your favorite.
Kurt: Thanks Brianna!
Kurt looked Brianna over, He and Brianna were childhood friends,
and he always had a tiny crush on Brianna, but she seemed to completely
ignore him.
Kurt: You look nice today Brianna, maybe we can hang out sometime.
Brianna: Thanks! Maybe.. But I gotta get back to the ranch.
Jacob felt a strange feeling that he hadn't experienced before. Jealousy..."No I don't get jealous....why would I be jealous?"
He questioned himself, trying to make sense of everything.Hearing
Kurt compliment Brianna bugged him and he didn't understand why.
A/N: Some of his clothes change in different photos because my game had
crashed and when I continued my photos when I restarted, didn't realize they
were different.
Here are a couple more days of my farming challenge. I haven't read this thread in a couple of days. I'll post something later.
The Marsden Farming Challenge
Week 1: Monday
I managed to get most of my garden planted before school. I just have cocoa beans left to plant. I went through the crates in the backyard and found a sprinkler. I hooked it up and it works!
I forgot to put away the salad last night. I hate waste. Dad had to fend for himself for breakfast today, and I went without.
While I was at school, the neighbor came over and cleaned up the yard. He bought the stack of crates, a burning barrel, and a busted wagon for §100. He left the money with Dad. He even cut the dead tree into firewood! We should have enough to last the winter now.
I barely recognized the place when I got home! Apparently, there was a mysterious gnome hiding amongst the weeds near the front stoop. Who knew?
Dad: We got the bills in the mail today. I sent in a payment of §126. Loni: Ok, that's not too bad. Dad: You got some seeds in the mail. Here you go. Loni: Thanks. Where did this cat come from? Dad: Her name is Angel. We adopted her from the shelter today. The lady just dropped her off. She'll keep me company while you are at school. Loni: I'd better buy her some stuff then. At least she's got food for now until the other stuff arrives. I'll go online and order her some things at PetsSims.
The total came to §305 for a scratching post, a bed, a crate of pet toys, and a litter box. I had a coupon code for §27 (sold the old cat dish ), so the final cost was §278.
I filled the cat dish for §10, then cleaned the stove and made a meal of mac and cheese. The downstairs is starting to look livable, despite the piles of dirty laundry.
After dinner, I hung out another load of laundry and got to work planting the cocoa and the seeds that arrived in the mail that day. It was dark by the time I finished.
Angel's already stalking her catnip mouse. I think she'll be great at keeping the mice out of the house.
The eggs and cheese I consigned brought me §912! It's hard to believe there was that much stored in the fridge. I'm glad it hadn't spoiled before I had a chance to sell it. I left a dozen eggs and eight wedges of cheese for our use. We won't need any more than that.
I completely forgot about the leaking sink upstairs! It's starting to drip into the downstairs! I finished my bathroom to-do list and decided to splurge on a shower. I can save water and it will take less time to get cleaned up. It cost §925.
We only have §148 left in the piggy bank. We barely have enough to pay the bills the next time they come due.
Week 1: Tuesday
I'm heading for bed. I suggested to Dad that we switch rooms and he agreed. He said the bed in there was too soft. It's almost 5 am. I'm going to be a zombie in school today.
When I woke up, I started on my homework. I got almost three pages of my assignment done. I only have seven more to go. I'll have to do that at school.
I think I'll head to the library with Dad after school. I want to read a gardening book. I'm also going to ask around about the train sets on shelves inside and outside the house to see if anyone is interested in buying them.
Dad: I found some Indian Blanket flowers out by the road when I took a stroll around the property. You've really got this place cleaned up nice. Loni: Thanks. Did you sell the flowers? Dad: Yes, I added §400 to the piggy bank. And another §116 for the cardinal that Angel caught this morning. Loni: That's great! How much is in there now? Dad: §664 simoleans. That should cover the bills for a time or two.
Angel brought a Gecko into the house and laid it at my feet.
Loni: For me? Thank you, Angel.
I picked up the gecko and sold it for §10.
Loni: Let's go to the library. I want to read up on gardening techniques. Maybe you can find something new to read.
texansky: After getting her library book from upstairs, Loni returned downstairs to sit beside her father to read. She is always looking out for him.
Loni: I'm just going to finish this chapter and then we'll head for home. There's a full moon tonight, and I don't want to be out too late. Dad: That sounds fine.
texansky: They both bury their noses in their books and keep reading.
Dad: I've finished my book. Are you ready to go?
Loni: In a minute. I've only got a couple more pages left.
Loni: Okay, I'm ready. Hey, put that back. We don't have time to read another book. It's almost eight o'clock. Dad: All right. Let's go.
texansky: I think Fred may have overdone it today. He's using his cane again. He'd been using it less frequently around the house though.
Loni: Hello? Benni, how nice of you to call. Things are a bit less hectic today. Dad and I just got back from the library.
texansky: Loni listens to Benni's gossip.
Loni: Listen, I've got to cut this short. I still have to weed the garden before bed. You too. Bye.
I headed outside to weed the garden. When I was finished, I fell into bed, beyond tired.
We got another §333 from our consigned items. We've got §1007 in the piggy bank now.
I didn't really feel like playing the game much yesterday.. I spent the first half of the day watching the news about the situation in Ukraine, and the second half just... sleeping on the couch.. before I went to bed... ughh, even cooking food for myself felt like such a drag.. -_-
Hopefully today will be better...
@bekkasan That is a very nice sewing room. My grandmother used to have a sewing room, though it wasn't as nice as this one. I'm saying use to, because she doesn't really sew anymore.. (but she is still with us).
Ah, well I really don't want to interfere to much, because I want the feeling that they are their own people with their own personalities and not just puppets of mine. :P I try to only direct them to fulfill their own wishes (but some wishes I do cancel..)
11 pages of bookmarks..!? Or just bookmarked 11 pages...? Wow, I don't even have this forum bookmarked, because well, I have never been good with using bookmarks.. :P
Yeah, I want the honeymoon to be a pleasant one of course, hopefully I will feel ok enough to play a round later today and post an update either today or tomorrow. :P
@emorill Oh, sorry if I missed a comment. Yeah, I usually go by the notification system, and I might miss one if I get no notification. <_< Hmm, well, I still don't know if they're gonna have kids or not!
Spring is always nice after a winter. Snow is nice, but you do get a little tired of the cold and the bad weather. :P Thanks for enjoying the update!
@Brandontaylor Thanks for the comments. Yeah, fishing and cruise ships... must be a thing, because "everyone" really wanted to ask about fish all the time. :P
Hahaha, to me there is always somethibng awkward about the selfie poses, but that aside, your sims are cute. :P
Does Lily usually get mad from receiving phone calls? :P
Oh, Emily Jones, she is the mother of the entire family? Imagine if we could actually do that, just go to the graveyard and have a talk with our deceaced loved ones...
Wow, Harlan has a negative thing, but only for select types of supernaturals, interesting! Oh, vampires, why do they always look so hot? :P
I like to watch jam sessions. .. but maybe not always listen to them.. :P :P
Ah, Rose finally got to ask Pierre to go steady.
Yes, I can tell Rose looks like Daisy, but it is a nice look. Having sims that are a little bit unique is good, though.
Hehe, Daisy is looking straight at the "camera" when they are eating cake.
Oh, nice a wedding, congratulations to Rose and Brandon for getting married.
Looks like a very nice winter day there, I like snowboarding picture.
Haha, yeah, I thought the same thing after trying the divide by 0.. not expecting the sim to catch fire! :P
@Silverofdreams30 Thanks! It was probably two years before I ever posted something I built. I just kept practicing until I felt I was doing a fair job. I don't do fancy though. I think of mine as comfortable.
Thanks!
@Brandontaylor Thank you!
Love seeing what your sims are up too. The girls are all so pretty even if they look alike. I like the all have different hair colors.
Brandon looks pretty good playing those drums. I hope they have fun as a band.
Congrats to Brandon and Lily!
I love all the winter pictures.
Congrats to all the birthday sims!
@GraceyManor I'm enjoying the story. Love Beau! Any guy that can knock someone out with one blow is a winner for me!
Bummer he doesn't like anyone.
@texansky Nice neighbor! It looks much better. The train sets do look funny, hopefully someone will buy those too.
Oh wow. She is having to do so much work. Good that they are making a bit of money from selling things they find. Hope the plants start producing soon.
@Sprottenham Yep, 11 pages. Most of the bookmarks are help threads especially things related to building and decorating and a bunch on CAW.
I do hope you are feeling better soon.
@ZhakiraP
Praaven is such a beautiful world in any season!
The creator put so much effort into the world.I have
tried other medieval worlds and nothing compares to it.
@lisasc360
lol at lisa not holding the bowling ball right.
That sounds like me.XD Phone calls always
at the wrong time.XD
Your sewing room looks fantastic! I love the sewing mod from
modthesims.
@bekkasan
Yeah I still test the lots when I have time.
Been busy at work, and playing a new game I bought
that I'm very addicted to XD
The lone ranger home looks like a fun lot, will have to download
it when I get a chance.
They want to make sure he doesn't remember his research.XD
@Turjan
The slap on the plumbot is the funniest thing.XD
Poor bot.The phot of him painting with no shirt is
super cute. Ethan is a very handsome sim! love
the little dragon he has with him.
@emorrill
Yeah I don't feel like getting in trouble for copyright.
So my version has stuff that wasn't in the book and such.XD
It is the heart of the ocean.I never seen the "OOPS" video but I
do know the song.XD
Yeah, no neither could I, would be super stressed getting threats all
the time.
I love smart sexy doctors to...cops, firefighters...Any guy in a uniform honestly.XD
Oh that link is neat! I will use it for future fake texts! Thanks!
@Karritz
Sorry to hear about Bonnie's accident. Was there a shower in the room with the invention table? Would a non-played Sim be smart enough to use it if there was?
That's a beautiful location to showcase Bonnie's urn.
I remember reading about Felix and the Fairy Village long ago. Good to see he's still around.
Kim Faulks looks like a party animal. Is he on something? The eyes suggest so.
In my first run-through of the farming challenge, I put a teddy bear in the crib before the first baby arrived home. I don't think she got an IF doll. Her four siblings each had one and I didn't put a bear in their cribs. Is there a correlation? I'm going to have to test that theory in my current play-through of the farming challenge.

You provided some good information regarding the DCBackup files. I have a separate game folder called "The Sims 3 - Store" that I copied right after I installed all the store content and before I added mods or any other custom content. That folder has never been played.
I have been slowly going through the downloads directory of that folder and using Custard to determine the package files associated with each Sims3Pack. I'm creating a folder for each Sims3Pack that has multiple package files and moving the package files into their folder. For any that have only one package file, I am renaming the package file the same as the Sims3Pack filename. I wish there was a way to see the icons for the store items for multiple package files. It would be nice to know what each of the package files is.
---
On a side note, I hate the way Windows Explorer handles the sorting of hexadecimal file names like the package files. They are definitely NOT sorted in order. There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the order they end up in when sorting either up or down. I've resorted to using Command Prompt to find the file and looking at the date and time stamp of the file to narrow my search.
@bekkasan
Beautiful exterior of Liberty Belle by @romagi1. I didn't know you could put ducks in the pond.
Ya, Loni's had a rough week. She still hasn't made an A in school, but the house and yard are starting to shape up.
I agree with @emorrill. The Fantasia Emporium is fantastic! Well worth seeing that shot again with the star-filled sky as a backdrop.
---
Thanks for the link to Crinrict's site. I copied the information about each folder into separate !README.txt files and put them in their appropriate folders for future reference.
@lisasc360
Sheep and knitting? Wow, MTS has some really interesting things available. I haven't been there browsing in years. Maybe I'll check it out again.
The sheep are really cute. I'd like to see the sheep on one of the balls. Do you actually have to feed the sheep every day?
Looks like Dawn is knitting a scarf. Does it grow over time or is it just an animation thing?
---
Your sewing room looks so organized. Great job on making the most of the small space.
It's really neat that she is actually using the treadle of the sewing machine while she sews. Great job to whoever designed it.
---
Isn't Elaine married to Norman? Par for the course, the neighborhood Sims are so plumb they can't stay faithful to anyone.
@Astro
Thanks for your reply. It's good to know that recoloring base game items isn't an issue. Thanks for the link. There was a lot of back and forth in that thread, but I was able to glean some good information from it.
---
Wow, that warehouse looks fantastic. You've made it livable and yet still trashy at the same time.
Imagine guests shooing you out of the warehouse so they can use the facilities? Or would they just hold it until they couldn't hold it anymore because there isn't a private room to go in?
The outside does need a bit of a downgrade.
I love Create-a-Style. I am constantly recoloring and changing patterns on outfits, furniture, wallpaper, siding, jewelry. I could go on, but you get the idea.
@Nikkei_Simmer
Sorry to hear you had to sit for hours in a vehicle waiting on your wife. Having more month at the end of your money is never a pleasant experience. Hope things look up for you soon.
@Emily4331
Very good likeness of Trish. I used to get beef lips sucking on sunflower seeds in the shell and hulling them with my teeth. The salt in them would seriously plump up my lips. Of course, they didn't get very big since my lips are on the smaller side to start with.
---
I think the Sims 3 has a lot of fashions coming back. A lot of folks are using beef lips on their Sims (sliders or skins, I can't decide). They also use layering of shirts. I don't know about skirts over jeans but definitely skirts over leggings. Recolor them blue with a jeans-type cloth pattern and there you go.
@GraceyManor
I'm really liking your story. That stalker is really annoying. Good of Jacob to round up the loose horses.
That stranger had some nerve beating Jacob and reporting that Brianna kidnapped him!
I bookmarked your story thread just in case I miss a post or want to reread it from the beginning. Thanks for posting it.
---
I can't place the guy in the tub. He looks familiar. Who is that? Is that Ethan from @Turjan?
@emorrill
Good to see you're having fun playing Sims. Random fun is always the best kind of game. Especially if you end up with some good shots of the fun!
---
Thanks for sharing the fake texts link. I've bookmarked it.
I hope you and yours get over COVID 19 soon.
My cell is on do not disturb all the time and only family and friends and a few businesses, medical facilities get to ring through. I hate those robocalls.
---
Glad you liked my Room to Grow starter home. I was surprised the price ended up being exactly §16,500. When I did the full upgrade remodel, I just chose random items for each room and worked the style and color scheme off of that. The inspiration in the Dining Room was the china cabinet (Haute Hacienda Kitchen- Mami's Bookcase).
@Turjan at Elvira slapping Elektra.
Is Stella Striker pregnant in the pic of her talking to Ethan? I like the dress that Renee Littler is wearing.
Looks like Ethan has better dance moves than Stella.
Those sliders look lopsided.
---
I can't even imagine Harry Marks' family living in a house with only one single bed. How did Polly even get pregnant in the first place?
---
Nice mini dragon. Green is the one for gardening, right?
Congratulations on Ethan's final promotion! That's a fabulous-looking refrigerator. I might have to recolor it. Just kidding!
@Sprottenham
Sofia has got to be beyond frustrated by now. Belo Horizonte translates literally to Beautiful Horizon. An appropriate name for a tropical retreat.
Does Palash have the absent-minded trait? Trying to go to work while on vacation?
Good on Palash to finally notice his smoking hot bride. Finally, a little initiative.
I agree with you. I think two "action" wishes on Sofia's part trumps the no "action" wishes of Palash. Love the fist in the air!
---
The whole scenario with "Nils Frogner" had me laughing! It's amazing how a simple "reset" can come back around and bite you.
---
I hope you are surviving your bout with covid.
@Brandontaylor
I'm glad you like it. I haven't built one like that before. I wonder if playing in that layout would drive me crazy, given my play style? Especially those upper cupboards in the kitchen.
---
Your plantSim gals are all very pretty. Love the selfie of Daisy and her daughter Rose!
Dinner, a snowman, AND a completed opportunity? Grand slam!
It's like Daisy knew you were about to take a screenshot. She looked up right into the camera and smiled before eating Rose's birthday cake.
Congratulations on Lily and Brandon's wedding!
---
Does your grandma have the Elvis on velvet framed on her wall?
Comments
Yep loved the little cottage you built.
I have tried building but im not good at it sadly.
Elvira sure was 🐸🐸🐸🐸 slapping Elektra there wasn't she? Poor Elektra...
Guess the Littler's are regretting getting divorced.
Those poor, hungry kids...
This picture is awesome!
I like the colors on Stella's outfit.
Oh wow! That's a very odd outfit for Vlad...
So...are Ethan and Jessica officially an item?
@Sprottenham I think this darn forum made you miss my previous tag too.
Funny Palash likes the graveyard so much.
Sounds like they both want kids. That's good.
I think I'm ready for Spring now, as much as I love Winter, especially seeing your pictures of the Spring Festival.
Enjoyed the rest of the update!
@lisasc360 The sewing room is cute!
I was just thinking that I should add the sheep to my medieval sims 3 folder.
@Emily4331 Yeah the forum is very bad when it comes to Notifications... Me no likey. ^LOL!
I grew up in Southern Arizona so I went to school with a lot of Hispanics and...they rocked the outlined beef lip look ALL the time!
It's funny how old styles make a comeback.
@texansky Nice to meet the Marsdens.
How'd she lose $400 from the piggy bank?
Oh no, what a rough start to their life in this place... ^LOL!
Wow she wasn't kidding how much of a pigsty their place is...
Okay, I couldn't help LOL'ing at this:
Boy I sure hope Loni has a better day tomorrow...
@bekkasan The sewing room you created for Gardenia is lovely.
You're welcome.
I spent WAY too much time yesterday dorking around in the new and improved Praaven (I blame you @ZhakiraP !
But now I need to get back to my CURRENT story!
Keep calm and Sim on!
@lisasc360 Why do the random calls always happen when our Sims are busy?
Sounds like a scammer, trying to pretend they aren't scammers.
Ruby isn't a very nice person.
Lol, I like when they shiver after a cold shower.
Great update!
Lol, a ball is a funny thing to cry over.
@Astro Looks like you found a lot of good items to use.
Great job!
@GraceyManor Nice that she provided him breakfast.
Looks like he got on the horse the right way at least.
Great update!
Uh oh, hope Jacob can get the horses back.
Miri is lucky to have a scientist staying with her.
Geez, what an awful thing to do. If he gets caught, he'd be in trouble. It's bad to call in a fake 911 call.
Hopefully he is okay.
Great update!
@emorrill That dress is a good find.
@Turjan You're welcome.
Yeah, a lot of kids being born does make it hard to remember.
Oh, I know. I always feel dumb when I delete comments or something too.
It is pretty funny.
Yeah, I think this movie might help gain some more Elvis fans. Maybe not a lot, but maybe some. Of course, I enjoy these types of movies anyway, I watched "Walk The Line" about Johnny Cash when it came out, and I've watched "Great Balls of Fire" about Jerry Lee Lewis. The Elvis movie, Secrets of Dumbledore, and a few superhero movies are on my list of movies I want to see this year.
It's always nice when they get that 30th painting in. My founder was a painter and she made a ton of money after hitting it since she could paint them so fast.
Does look like a Showtime outfit.
@ZhakiraP Wonder what the king will say?
@Sprottenham Hopefully she can go catch some fish.
Another Simmer having fun with elevators, lol
Great update!
@Nikkei_Simmer Yeah, a messed up screen does make it hard to do anything.
@bekkasan Great job on the Fantasia Emporium!
You're welcome.
Nice pictures of the lots!
@texansky Nice house!
@MamaSimTee Thanks, I feel a lot better now. I think having the vaccine helped me too, I only really had symptoms for about a week.
@Karritz Nice to put a face to her name. I like how unique Hetal is.
Glad you are gonna reunite the Plumbot with its family.
The urn has a nice view behind it.
Nice China pictures!
Great update!
@Emily4331 The first version still looks nice.
Number two and three look a lot more like her. I had to look her up though since I don't follow wrestling.
***Time for a couple Langerak updates. Will do more comments tomorrow as it's already 6:08 here and I want to play before I get too tired.
Brandon was the only one who needed to eat, and he was also the first up. He played drums after eating his breakfast, he plans to drum in Lily's band.
Harlan talked with Rose as soon as she woke up. They are pretty close, but maybe not a full relationship bar.
Downstairs, Lily decided to play chess with Holly. The twins will at least have a few skill points in logic by the time they leave the house.
Nearby, Ivy decided she wanted to play video games instead of learning a skill.
Daisy decided to randomly take a selfie with Rose, and I really like their facial expressions in this one.
I had thought that I'd finished with Rose's driving skill, but I actually hadn't. I had Harlan help her get her license.
Lily went to city hall to officially register in the band career. I don't know how far she'll get in it, but it's more for fun than it is for money. She got a phone call on her way home, and it must've been a good one because she didn't look mad.
Brandon wanted to gain in athletics so he decided to use his aura to help with it. It also helped Daisy and Rose with their logic skill. At this point, Daisy still hadn't reached level 10 yet, so she hadn't finished her LTW either.
Brandon and Lily decided to go on a date to the Bistro. When they were done, Lily saw an incomplete snowman so she decided to make it a complete one. John Langerak happened to be there, he is Lily's uncle. Brandon needed to chat with him to complete an opportunity so it worked out perfectly.
The following morning, I decided everyone should eat breakfast together. I figured they should at least once or twice a week.
Harlan needed to chat with 3 Sims to finish an opportunity, so I saw there were several deceased members of the family who had came back for the night. Here, Harlan chats with Emily Jones, the whole reason this family even exists.
Lastly for this part of the update, Daisy bought a skill booster elixir in the hopes it'd help with her logic. However, it boosted another skill instead.
Both Harlan and Daisy had reasons why they needed to exercise, so I set them up to do so for as long as they needed to.
Lily invited Elizabeth Gaffney over so she could get to know her. With Elizabeth being a vampire, she'll be around awhile. There is a good possibility of me trying to marry her into the family somehow.
However, Harlan hated her as soon as he saw her. He could deal with witches and werewolves, but he wasn't the biggest fan of fairies or vampires. I remember I had fun trying to get him to befriend Brandon. I don't know why, but he probably should have the Supernatural Skeptic trait.
Lily had a jam session with Brandon. At the time, Rose wasn't available to back them up with the keyboard.
Rose invited Pierre over and they spent some time together. I don't remember, but I believe I was trying to get them to be in a steady relationship but he had to leave too early or something.
That following morning, Daisy went back to playing chess. Still didn't have the last skill point at the time the picture was taken, though she may have gotten it by the time I had her quit. I can't remember now since it has been a bit since I took these screenshots.
When she did stop, she spent a bit of time with Harlan.
Holly decided that she wanted to paint a picture so I left her alone to do so. I don't know if she'll go far in it, but it's something for her to do.
Daisy had forgotten to practice martial arts, so she talked Harlan through the first skill point so she could spar with him. This means that between the picture of her playing chess and this one, she had completed her logic skill.
Brandon and Lily are really enjoying their extended engagement. I just had to wait for the right time to try and have one. It was winter at the time so they couldn't have it outdoors.
Lastly for part 2, Ivy and Holly were just getting ready to play tag.
***One more update for tonight, but if I have any screenshots left, I'll save them for later.
Rose tried to invite Pierre over, but he wouldn't come over. Instead, I ended up sending her over to his house and they chatted there, until it was time for him to go to work. Luckily, his father showed up right about that time so Rose stayed and chatted with him.
After a few minutes time, Pierre came back from work and Rose finally got to ask him to go steady.
Then at one point in my last play session, it was time for Rose to become a Young Adult. Of course, when a Plantsim ages, they always go back to these clothes. I don't know how much you can tell, but she has the same exact face as Daisy.
For her makeover, I did a few subtle changes to her sliders to make her a bit different from Daisy. I believe I gave her a darker eye color too, just to make her a bit unique.
Pierre had stayed with the family for the night so he got to enjoy the party as well, although you can't see him very well.
Lily played some more guitar to try and build that skill up.
However, I decided to clean out the kitchen so I could throw a wedding for her and Brandon. The twins and Rose are all getting closer to being able to move out, so I decided now was a good time.
Then, some family members and guest had a jam session. Brandon's drums went invisible for some reason but I fixed it later. Afterwards, the family went to the Bistro to eat while I put the kitchen back together the way it was. I took a picture with my smartphone so I would remember how it was set up.
Lastly, Lily and Brandon showered together since they both needed to. Of course, we know what they were doing in there.
Officer Rogers: I'm sorry to bother you while you are recovering, Doctor Rush.
But we need to ask a few questions.There is a young lady who says she pulled
you out of the river when someone attacked you.We don't fully believe her story
and suspect she might be involved in your attacks.
Jacob: ..Young....Brianna!
Officer Rogers: You know her?
Despite his injuries, Jacob jumped to his feet to confront the officer.
Normally, he wouldn't dare talk back to a law enforcement officer, but
he felt the need to protect Brianna.
Jacob: Where is she?
Officer Rogers: Being held at the station for questioning.
You're alone now, so you can be honest with us.
Jacob: Brianna is telling the truth. And if you don't release her,
we're going to have a few more problems.
Officer Rogers: Calm down, Jacob.We just have to ask to be sure.
She was the last to be seen with you.We received a 911 call stating
someone saw her kidnap you.
Jacob: That's absurd! Brianna would do no such thing.
She's a friend of mine.
Jacob was losing patience with the officer, and had all he could do to not
deck him.However, Jail time was not something he felt like serving, so he backed
down.
Officer Rogers: We'll have her released.
Jacob: Thank you..
Jacob felt like he needed a little more rest, and went to lay back down,
when his phone went off.
Jacob: Wait a second, this isn't my phone, its Briannas...
Jacob realized he must have grabbed Brianna's phone by mistake.
He wasn't sure if he should answer, but the caller seemed persistant.
Jacob: Hello?
Miri: Auntie Brianna? When you coming home?
Jacob: Miri, is that you? This is Jacob.
Miri: Where is Auntie Brie?
Jacob: She's not home?
Miri: No, said she was going to check on you...she just left
little while go, but I can't sleep, she usually reads me to sleep -cries-
Jacob: Miri, don't cry, I'm sure she'll be home soon...ok?
Miri: You promise? -sniffles-
Jacob: Promise.
Jacob hung up the phone and decided to discharge himself from the hospital.The desperation
in Miri's voice was heartbreaking, poor child wanted her aunt, and it was his fault she was out
and about.He cautiously made his way through the corridors, trying to blend in with the crowds.
He made it to the elevator, and pressed "G" for ground floor..."Oh come on now! Hurry up" He said
as he pushed his way through the people getting off.He exited the building to find a strange man waiting for him.
Stranger: I'm very tired of chasing you down.We are just trying to Protect you.
Now you need to come with me.
Jacob: I'm not going anywhere with you.
Stranger: I had just about of this nonsense.
The stranger wrestled Jacob to the ground trying to pin down.
Jacob fought back, trying to knock his attacker back.
Beau: Brianna, I told you trying to help this guy was just gonna
cause trouble! You're being very irresponsible now, lets just leave
Brianna: Now, you listen to me Beau, If you saw a young lady being
attacked, tossed in a river and god knows what else, would you just
leave her?
Beau: Of course not...but..
Brianna: But nothing....its the samething.
Beau: Fine, you go check on Jacob, I'll handle Mr Hot Shot.
Beau was the type of guy you didn't want to mess with, his broad shoulders and
bulldoggish walk was enough to intimidate even the smartest of kidnappers.
Stranger: Who are you?!
Beau: You're worst nightmare..
Beau decked the stranger across the head, knocking him out cold, the man
fell to the ground all hunched over.
Beau: Don't worry about me, just get yourselves home.I'll take
care of our visitor here.
back at the ranch.
Jacob was feeling guilty for bringing so much danger and chaos
to Brianna's family.He contemplated leaving. He knew she would be
much safer without him there, but part of him didn't want to leave.
Jacob: I told you not to help me...It would just put you all in danger.
I probably should leave.
Brianna: Its fine, Jacob. We've dealt with worse people then these guys.
My family is used to helping.
Jacob: I don't want to be the cause of your family getting hurt.
Jacob felt awkward talking to Brianna. He wasn't sure why he was so
concerned for this girl. He blamed it on his concussion, causing him
to make irrational decisions. He knew he should leave, but something
was not letting him go.
Brianna: Honestly, I'm not worried about them Jacob...I'm not afraid
of them. I can handle myself.
Jacob studied Brianna, for the first time he realized just how sweet,
and caring, and beautiful she really was.
Miri: Auntie Brie are you home?
Miri's call made Brianna and Jacob jump to their feet.
Brianna: In the living room.
Miri: I can't sleep auntie brie.I was worried.
Brianna: Its okay, want me to read to you?
Jacob: Actually, I have an idea...may I?
Brianna: Of course..
Jacob took Miri's hand and led her outside to the front yard.
He grabbed his telescope from his bag and quickly set it up.
Jacob: That bright star there, is That would be Polaris, the North Star.
Even in the China Sea, that's north.
Miri: My house must be located southwest.
Jacob: Miss Miri, you are a bright young lady aren't you.
Jacob: Polaris – is famous for holding nearly still in our sky while the entire northern sky moves around it.
That’s because it’s located nearly at the north celestial pole
Miri: I dunno what that means, but it sounds neat!
Brianna: Its really nice of you to spend time with Miri, she doesn't
get out often.Thank you.
Jacob: Just my way of saying thank you, for helping me.
And I mean it, and I know I don't always say it.
Jacob smiled at Brianna, studying her reaction to his compliment.
Miri: What's wrong with the sky?
Brianna; What do you mean?
Miri: Its green and purple....look
Jacob: -laughs- Nothing's wrong with it Miri, That's Aurora Borealis.
Miri: Bored what?
Jacob: Most call it the Northern Lights.
Miri: Why is it doing that?
Jacob: The Northern Lights are actually the result of collisions between gaseous particles in the Earth's atmosphere with charged particles released from the sun's atmosphere
Miri: Huh?
Brianna: Might need to kid that down a bit.XD
Jacob: Right...The Northern Lights are actually caused by electrons from solar winds. They are attracted to the poles by the magnetic fields found there. They mix with gases in the atmosphere, causing the gases to glow
Can't really see them with all the lights..
Miri: Aww...:(
Brianna; Come we can go up to the pond.

When Dawn was done at the sewing machine, she went over to Nathan because she wanted to start a water balloon fight but Nathan told her later as he continued to talk to Elaine about gardening.
Dawn then went to compliment Nathan on his looks which he just loved to hear as he flirted back with Dawn while Elaine was watching. Of course Elaine didn't want to see or hear Nathan and Dawn flirting as she's been trying to hook up with Nathan.
Elaine then tried to give Nathan flowers again which again he declined explaining to Elaine yet again that his heart belongs to Dawn.
Elaine went over to the corner of the room to look at the wall while Nathan took Dawn in his arms and did a dip kiss and then gave her a hug
Nathan then asked Dawn to turn around so that he can give her a back massage.
Elaine walked back over to them and saw Nathan giving Dawn a massage.
Elaine is wishing that she was in Dawn's shoes so that she was the one getting the back massages and the kisses and all of the attention.
Elaine starts crying because she feels so unloved and can't understand why no one wants to be with her.
Nathan and Dawn start to flirt with one another again while Elaine looks on.
Nathan does another dip kiss on Dawn again with Elaine watching and wishing that it was her that was getting the dip kiss.
Nathan and Dawn getting flirty again when one of them suggest taking this to the bedroom for a little bit of privacy.
Nathan and Dawn cuddling on the bed after Nathan made sure that the bedroom door was locked to everyone but the household as they wouldn't want Elaine to walk in on them since she seems so interested in Nathan.
Since Nathan and Dawn left the sewing room, Elaine decided to try out the sewing machine again. Maybe she thinks that if she makes him something that he can use that he will see that she's prefect for him and that he will leave Dawn for her.
Nothing to see here...
The happy couple...

That is a lovely sewing room.
@Brandontaylor
Great updates!
Donny: I got up bright and early the next day and went into the bathroom to do my daily routine in there while I let Lisa sleep until she's ready to get up and then I fixed myself a breakfast burrito for my breakfast. I then took it to the table and sat down to eat it. It tasted pretty good being cooked in the microwave.
Donny: After throwing away the burrito wrapper and cleaning up my plate, I went to the bookshelf as I wanted to read a book about handiness so that I can learn how to fix things around the house.
Lisa: I see that you're up already and reading a book. Are you reading your textbook before class this morning?
Donny: Hey there sleepyhead. Sleep okay last night? No, it's not my textbook as I'm reading a book about handiness so that I can know what I'm doing when I need to fix things around the house.
Lisa: I slept so so on that bed. It could had been better if the bed had been more comfortable and not lumpy. Oh, so now you're going to learn the handiness skill now that we own our own house and not have to depend on the landlord to send a handyperson over to fix things for us.
Donny: Well yes, that's why I'm doing this. Plus is saves money that we could be using for other things. And you do know that I do know basic maintenance service as I was the one that my siblings came to to fix their broken items up. What are you reading?
Lisa: I'm just reading a cooking book to help with my cooking skills.
Donny: But you're a nature born cook, so what more could you learn?
Lisa: There's still a lot of things that can be learned while cooking. Things change over time as well as recipes and appliances and cookware and other stuff. Even the top chefs keep learning new and exciting new things everyday as well as new and improved recipes. Just like you can be a master electrician and still learn things as wiring and electrical appliances and wiring changes over time.
Donny: Now what are you doing?
Lisa: I'm going to sit on the floor and do a little drawing next as that is my next class afterwards. So I want to hone up my drawing skills as well.
Lisa: Do you hear something moving around outside?
Donny: Yeah. What do you suppose it to be?
Lisa: It's a wild horse outside over at the neighbor's house.
Lisa: And now before you ask, I'm just reading my book from last night so that I can be ready for my first class today so that I can act like I know what I'm doing.
Donny: You'll be fine today in your class. You can ace this class with your eyes closed like you always do.
Lisa: You think?
Donny: I know you can and I've seen you do it before.
Donny: Do you hear the horse neighing? Must be something outside that it doesn't like.
Lisa: Yeah, I hear it neighing. The neighbor just walked up his walkway towards his house and the horse didn't like being snuck up on.
Donny: Okay, was just checking since horse can be spooked by anything and take off running in the opposite direction.
Lisa with her tummy rumbling: Well now that I'm done my studying for now, I will fix me a breakfast burrito. Are they any good?
Donny: Yikes! It sounds like you need something to eat as I can even hear your tummy growling at me...
Donny: Come on Lisa, you can clean up the dishes when we get home later today as we don't want to be late for our first classes this morning even though we're right across the road from the building that we need to go to. So pick up the pace some.
Lisa: I'm coming Donny. Just let me slip on my shoes real quick and adjust my hair bun on my head. Okay?
Donny: Sure, but do it on your way out the door slow poke...
Lisa: I'm not a slow poke, I was just getting dressed.
Donny: You were getting dressed at the last minute, so you are a slow poke...
Lisa: Okay mister, you just watch yourself over there before you get a knuckle sandwich...
Donny: You need to catch me first to give a knuckle sandwich and I don't think that you can catch me slow poke...
Lisa: Darn it, I went the wrong way trying to get to my first class. But thankfully it's still early and I won't be later getting to class.
Lisa: I saw Ruby after class and she was complaining about being hungry. Poor little Ruby didn't think about eating before class or even bringing something to snack on when in class. I don't feel sorry for her.
Donny: Hey Babe. How was your first class today?
Lisa: It was great. Of course I paid attention in class and was called on a few times and got the answers right. Of course I saw Ruby outside when I left the building and poor little Ruby was starving to death. Oh well, she should had ate breakfast before coming to class or had a snack on her to have for later. How was your class today?
Donny: Oh it was okay. Maybe not as exciting as yours as I didn't get called on but only once and then nothing afterwards.
Lisa: Oh that's too bad. I guess we can talk some more after the next class as it's time to go to them now. Love you Sweetie...
Donny: Love you too Babe...

@Turjan Yeah, Elvira is always good entertainment at a party.
Sentience gets in the way a lot and causes them to ignore the other chips. I agree that it's best to leave that out.
I know of some real life ex couples that are like that, hanging out together even though they aren't together anymore.
Yikes, I bet some of them had to sleep on the floor for a while.
I can't believe the parents in the game, not feeding their children. I had a toddler crying at a party my family went to last night and every Sim just sat there and complained that it was crying.
Great update!
He definitely looks different when not in black.
Looks like the sliders are at the extreme settings, lol
It takes too much effort for ambrosia, I always use the life fruits that way too. I rarely make the ambrosia anymore.
Congrats on level 10 of the culinary skill! I love having the refrigerator, although I lost the one Chris Jones got for my family way back at the beginning.
Another great update!
@lisasc360 The sewing room looks nice.
Nice garden.
Glad Nathan didn't accept the flowers.
Great updates!
@emorrill The 90's was a good time to grow up in, I've got a lot of good memories from that time. Funny thing is, I wasn't into comics back then, probably because I was young but I remember I had a black suit Superman action figure from the Reign of the Supermen story arc following Death of Superman.
Yeah, it took me by surprise.
I'm a bit nitpicky now I've learned more about the real Titanic. I found some other mistakes too, but one thing I stand by is that Jack could not have gotten on the door like people say. People don't realize it, but it's not actually supposed to be a door, but a part of the ornate wooden door frame. I guess they pulled up a real piece of the Titanic that is similar to what James Cameron's crew made for the movie.
She's got some things, although not as much as some people. She has several original vinyl records she bought when he was alive, a ton of CD's, a few posters, books, and some other stuff. And yes, she was one of the ones who swooned over him. Not to get too much into things, but when she was a kid, she took a trip down south with my great grandparents. Great Grandpa let her pick songs on a jukebox and she randomly picked a guy named Elvis Presley. As soon as she heard his music, she was hooked. This was before he was known across the US, he was just starting out at the time so a lot of southern states knew of him. Her love of his music just kind of went from there. Her husband, my grandpa, used to tease her about how much she liked him, even though he somewhat liked Elvis too. Sadly, she's never been able to go to Graceland, and neither have I. However, my mom and dad went in 1990.
@Nikkei_Simmer Gas isn't cheap anywhere, it seems. Where I live in Illinois, we are at $3.71 a gallon now.
@Sprottenham Whoops, he must've been out of it to think he had to work.
Must be about ready for kids then.
Hope she found some eggs.
Great update!
@texansky Nice to meet the Marsdens.
Nice, more money for them to get started with!
Yeah, the llama people seem to turn up for every teenager and up, lol
Wow, he really made a mess of the bathroom.
Great update!
@GraceyManor At least he is up where they can clear Brianna.
If he did hit the cop, he might be able to use the defense that he was still a bit out of it from the attack, but glad he didn't, lol
I don't think they are trying to protect him.
Great update!
@Silverofdreams30 Thanks!
Lisa: Woah, I've made it to 2nd class of the day. So let's go in and see what I can learn today in art class.
Lisa: While I was in class, Marsha Barrington was outside after her class talking to her turtle.
Lisa: Then Marsha sat down next to Che Justice who then stood up and striped off his clothes to go streaking around campus. WOW! That's one hairy dude right there...
Donny: Hello!
Scam Caller: We like to talk to you about Medicare and what your benefits are...
Donny: So, but I'm not old enough for Medicare. So you can take your scam and scram as I'm not interested in what you're trying to sell. GOODBYE!!!!
Donny: Hey Babe! How's it going?
Lisa: Hey Sweetie! It's going just fine. Who were you talking to on the phone?
Donny: A scammer trying to sell me Medicare which of course I'm not old enough for, so I told where to go and them hung up. How was your art class?
Lisa: It was good. They just went over the basics of art and what it's about. Hopefully soon we will be doing paintings and drawings in class. How was your class.
Donny: Oh, we just talked about lasers and the different uses for them and the history of lasers.
Lisa: Ready for some dinner?
Donny: Sure. Are you thinking of the burger joint?
Lisa: Sure was.
Donny: Okay you lead the way. Just be careful when crossing the street as I don't want you to get hit.
Lisa: I like the look of this place as it reminds me of the old diners from the 50's with the waitresses on roller skates bringing out customers food on trays to sit in the window frames on their car doors.
Donny: It sure does. Too bad there aren't any classic cars around for us to look at.
Lisa: Yeah, as I really love looking at them and seeing the ladies in the old poodle skirts.
Donny: What are going to have to eat?
Lisa: I don't know yet as I need to see what's on the menu.
Lisa: Boy that was some very good Bouillabaisse that they have there. I need to learn the recipe for that now.
Donny: Yeah, that was pretty good. I can't wait until you learn that recipe as well.
Lisa: Let's head on back home now as it's getting late.
Donny: Okay Lisa. Just be careful riding the bike after dark.
Lisa: I will. You be careful as well.
Lisa: EWWWWW GROSS!!! Something smells terrible in here.
Donny: It's that plate you left there this morning from your breakfast burrito that I'd told you to leave until we got home today.
Lisa: Yeah, I forgot about that plate. Here let me wash it up so that the smell goes away.
Donny: Now that you're done taking care of the dirty dish, would you like to go outside and watch the stars before we head to bed?
Lisa: Of course I would love to watch the stars with you.
Donny: Okay, let's go outside and sit on the porch.
Donny: You see that star over there?
Lisa: Where? There's a lot of stars out here tonight...
Donny: That one right there, the blue one?
Lisa: Oh yes, I see it now. It's pretty.
Donny: Yes it is but not as pretty as you are...
Lisa: Okay, I've made a wish.

***Last part of these several days, next update after will be from last nights play session.
Harlan spent a little bit of time watching TV in the morning.
Daisy didn't come downstairs when she woke up and instead read a book.
When Brandon got up, I sent him to get some breakfast since he was hungry. He's like 90 days away from being an adult now so he'll outlive Lily. However, she might use some methods to live longer just so they can stay together.
Lily went downstairs to play some chess. It was still winter so she couldn't really do anything outside.
Rose had a wish to make a snow angel so I sent her outside to make one before sending her back in.
Holly had a wish to skate so I sent her off to do that.
The other family members also went to the park with her, but they didn't make any money for the band.
Daisy decided to try out the snowboard thing and she did pretty good.
Pierre happened to be on the front steps when he aged up. He needs a makeover but I'll get to it soon. He's not living in the house with the family anyway, and since Rose is a young adult now, I moved her into her own house.
Daisy's social bar was getting pretty low so I had her chat with her sprite.
When Lily came downstairs, she complimented her mother on her looks then they just chatted about random stuff.
Holly decided to paint another painting, this one gained the family $6.
Once everyone woke up, everybody but Harlan went to the diner for breakfast. Behind Brandon's wings is his grandmother, Rain Langerak. She is getting closer to being an elder but she probably won't hit it for several weeks.
Harlan had a wish to use the martial arts dummy so I put it out long enough for him to use it.
When Daisy got back home, she and Harlan took a steamy shower together.
Lily and Brandon practiced their instruments.
Meanwhile, Daisy exercised for 6 hours straight for a wish.
The twins played chess together. One of them didn't even have any logic skill when I thought they did, but both do now.
Harlan went to a party where he chatted with a distant relative of his. However, the guy kept neglecting to feed his toddler.
John Langerak was at the party and a random named Deidre gave him flowers. I thought he was still with Carly but maybe I'm wrong.
Dwight was also at the party so Harlan went to chat with him and gave him a hug.
I tried the divide by 0 thing on Daisy, not knowing what would happen. Guess I won't be doing that again.
Lastly, I sent everyone to bed but had Brandon get something to eat. However, he forgot to eat his supper so I had to wake him up to eat.
***Got too tired to finish the day last night so this is only part of it. I'll play the rest of it tonight.
The main focus of this day was to celebrate several birthdays, so I had Daisy go first. I pretty much dressed her the way she was, but not 100% with all outfits.
Then it was time for Ivy to age up to teenager. I think she turned out well.
Last but not least, Holly aged up. I just used MC to copy Ivy's clothes over to her, then colored them differently so they aren't the same. Then the family ate cake before i shut things down.
The video is still a few hours away from being available for you to watch as it's barely started loading and I've made it HD quality so it has a huge file to load and that'll take a several hours. It runs for about 30 minutes. I had more to add but that would make it too long. I did let it run on a bit after signing off as I just had to let you see the cuteness of all 8 of the children sitting together in the school yard doing their homework.
Now I'll need to play more of the game before I can make the next video but it'll be a couple of weeks before I can do episode 3 of this story.
Happy Simming all.

Now it's 13:05 pm my time and it's 50% uploaded. And I just got an unexpected phone call. It was from the owner of the internet network. I know they've been doing a lot of work on the network for the past few months. They just told me I am not getting the internet speed I've been paying for and so I'm being upgraded to a fibre optic connection that'll give me lightning fast internet and the upgrade/repair to the network is free. I don't know when it might happen though. Hopefully soon.

@Silverofdreams30, Thank you...
@GraceyManor, Love your story so far...
@bekkasan, Thank you...
Love your sewing room...
@emorrill, Thank you...
You should add the sheep, the knitting and the sewing into your game. I just love having that kind of cc in my games...
@Brandontaylor, Right! They seem to think that everyone has time to talk to them...lol
Yup. I've had calls like that where they will say that they're not trying to scam anyone thinking that I'm going to fall for that lie. I hate the ones that claim that I've won a trip when I haven't even entered into any contests to try for a trip.
No she isn't. She's rude as heck and thinks everyone should bow down to her.
I think that's the first time that I have ever saw that.
Thank you...
Right!
Thank you...
The garden was already there when I moved the sims into the house. I just added the fountain from MTS so that my Sims can go turn it on to water the garden.
And thank you again...
I haven't played my game for a couple of days now as I have been playing World of Warcraft Tuesday night and yesterday as Blizzard added a new update to the Shadowlands EP on Tuesday. It's suppose to be the last one for this EP. Now we're just waiting on Blizzard to announce the next EP coming out which they usually do when they do Blizz-Con every year but they didn't do one last year due to the legal issues that Blizzard was having with some of their former employees with some type of misconduct that was taking place in the work place. So we're hoping that an announcement will be made this year for a new EP as I'm ready for some new gameplay for WoW.

As usual Brianna was up bright and early to get started on chores.
But she didn't expect to see Jacob up early.
Brianna: Morning Jacob, hope your feeling better.
Jacob smiled back at Brianna. Seeing her made him feel better.
"This concussion is doing strange things with my head" He kept
telling himself. "Once its gone, I'll think more clearly." He thought.
Jacob: Morning, Brianna. I'm feeling a bit better.
Jacob: Morning Oscar....You'd make a good hunting dog wouldn't
you, I can tell. You're a smart boy.
Jacob taught Oscar how to hunt, thought he would be good at discovering
gems.
Brianna: Marshal likes you Jacob, and that's saying something.He's
usually very stubborn with people.
Jacob smiled as he brushed Marshal.He liked being around the horses
as well.
Jacob: He just needs a little love is all.
Jacob decided he would give a hand at bee hives, but it turned
out he forgot to smoke the box and ended up with a bee attack.
Beau: I think it best if you go help Brianna in the stalls.
Jacob: Fine by me...
Jacob could sense Brianna's brother didn't care for him at all; and frankly
Jacob didn't like him either.
Jacob: I don't think your brother is fond of me, and I don't blame him,
I'm causing nothing but trouble for you all.
Brianna: Beau doesn't like anybody, don't worry about it.
Jacob: Come up into the loft with me.
Brianna: I don't know anything about science. I can't help with that.
Jacob: And I didn't know anything about horses either.
Brianna: You're going to make me try, aren't you?
Jacob:
Jacob gave Brianna some of his equipment to work with.She hadn't
the foggiest idea what she was doing, and feared she might blow the barn
up.
"Here let me show you Brianna" Jacob said as he grabbed the glass.
"I'm so confused." Brianna admitted, she never did well with science.
But Jacob was eager to tutor her, just as she helped him with the horses.
Brianna: Oops, I didn't mean to drop that.
She looked down at the ground where the mixture had poured on to the floor.
Jacob: Its fine, its nothing that will cause harm, you can just wipe it with a towel.
Standing near Brianna, Jacob felt his heart begin to race and an onset of nausea. "This concussion
is making me not feel so well" he thought; worried that he might be having
some sort of medical emergency.
Brianna: Are you okay? You don't look like you feel well.
Jacob: I'm not, I think maybe we should took a break.
Brianna: You need me to take you to emergency room?
Jacob: No...I..I think I'll be fine if I just go lay down for a bit
by myself.
Brianna went downstairs to give Jacob some time to rest and recover
from his episode. Brianna wondered if his head injury was getting worse.
Brianna: Just checking to see if you are feeling better.
Jacob: I'm feeling okay, thank you for checking.
Sarah: Can you bring these to Kurt Brianna.
Brianna: Ugh...Fine.
Jacob: I'll take a walk with you...Fresh air might help.
Brianna: Hey Kurt, how are you?
Kurt: Brianna! Hey, long time no see.
Brianna: mom wanted me to deliver these cookies to you...
your favorite.
Kurt: Thanks Brianna!
Kurt looked Brianna over, He and Brianna were childhood friends,
and he always had a tiny crush on Brianna, but she seemed to completely
ignore him.
Kurt: You look nice today Brianna, maybe we can hang out sometime.
Brianna: Thanks! Maybe.. But I gotta get back to the ranch.
Jacob felt a strange feeling that he hadn't experienced before.
Jealousy..."No I don't get jealous....why would I be jealous?"
He questioned himself, trying to make sense of everything.Hearing
Kurt compliment Brianna bugged him and he didn't understand why.
A/N: Some of his clothes change in different photos because my game had
crashed and when I continued my photos when I restarted, didn't realize they
were different.

The Marsden Farming Challenge
Week 1: Monday
I managed to get most of my garden planted before school. I just have cocoa beans left to plant. I went through the crates in the backyard and found a sprinkler. I hooked it up and it works!
I forgot to put away the salad last night. I hate waste. Dad had to fend for himself for breakfast today, and I went without.
While I was at school, the neighbor came over and cleaned up the yard. He bought the stack of crates, a burning barrel, and a busted wagon for §100. He left the money with Dad. He even cut the dead tree into firewood! We should have enough to last the winter now.
I barely recognized the place when I got home! Apparently, there was a mysterious gnome hiding amongst the weeds near the front stoop. Who knew?
Dad: We got the bills in the mail today. I sent in a payment of §126.
Loni: Ok, that's not too bad.
Dad: You got some seeds in the mail. Here you go.
Loni: Thanks. Where did this cat come from?
Dad: Her name is Angel. We adopted her from the shelter today. The lady just dropped her off. She'll keep me company while you are at school.
Loni: I'd better buy her some stuff then. At least she's got food for now until the other stuff arrives. I'll go online and order her some things at PetsSims.
The total came to §305 for a scratching post, a bed, a crate of pet toys, and a litter box. I had a coupon code for §27 (sold the old cat dish
I filled the cat dish for §10, then cleaned the stove and made a meal of mac and cheese. The downstairs is starting to look livable, despite the piles of dirty laundry.
After dinner, I hung out another load of laundry and got to work planting the cocoa and the seeds that arrived in the mail that day. It was dark by the time I finished.
Angel's already stalking her catnip mouse. I think she'll be great at keeping the mice out of the house.
The eggs and cheese I consigned brought me §912! It's hard to believe there was that much stored in the fridge. I'm glad it hadn't spoiled before I had a chance to sell it. I left a dozen eggs and eight wedges of cheese for our use. We won't need any more than that.
I completely forgot about the leaking sink upstairs! It's starting to drip into the downstairs! I finished my bathroom to-do list and decided to splurge on a shower. I can save water and it will take less time to get cleaned up. It cost §925.
We only have §148 left in the piggy bank. We barely have enough to pay the bills the next time they come due.
Week 1: Tuesday
I'm heading for bed. I suggested to Dad that we switch rooms and he agreed. He said the bed in there was too soft. It's almost 5 am. I'm going to be a zombie in school today.
When I woke up, I started on my homework. I got almost three pages of my assignment done. I only have seven more to go. I'll have to do that at school.
I think I'll head to the library with Dad after school. I want to read a gardening book. I'm also going to ask around about the train sets on shelves inside and outside the house to see if anyone is interested in buying them.
Dad: I found some Indian Blanket flowers out by the road when I took a stroll around the property. You've really got this place cleaned up nice.
Loni: Thanks. Did you sell the flowers?
Dad: Yes, I added §400 to the piggy bank. And another §116 for the cardinal that Angel caught this morning.
Loni: That's great! How much is in there now?
Dad: §664 simoleans. That should cover the bills for a time or two.
Angel brought a Gecko into the house and laid it at my feet.
Loni: For me? Thank you, Angel.
I picked up the gecko and sold it for §10.
Loni: Let's go to the library. I want to read up on gardening techniques. Maybe you can find something new to read.
texansky: After getting her library book from upstairs, Loni returned downstairs to sit beside her father to read. She is always looking out for him.
Loni: I'm just going to finish this chapter and then we'll head for home. There's a full moon tonight, and I don't want to be out too late.
Dad: That sounds fine.
texansky: They both bury their noses in their books and keep reading.
Dad: I've finished my book. Are you ready to go?
Loni: In a minute. I've only got a couple more pages left.
Loni: Okay, I'm ready. Hey, put that back. We don't have time to read another book. It's almost eight o'clock.
Dad: All right. Let's go.
texansky: I think Fred may have overdone it today. He's using his cane again. He'd been using it less frequently around the house though.
Loni: Hello? Benni, how nice of you to call. Things are a bit less hectic today. Dad and I just got back from the library.
texansky: Loni listens to Benni's gossip.
Loni: Listen, I've got to cut this short. I still have to weed the garden before bed. You too. Bye.
I headed outside to weed the garden. When I was finished, I fell into bed, beyond tired.
We got another §333 from our consigned items. We've got §1007 in the piggy bank now.
Hopefully today will be better...
@bekkasan That is a very nice sewing room. My grandmother used to have a sewing room, though it wasn't as nice as this one. I'm saying use to, because she doesn't really sew anymore.. (but she is still with us).
Ah, well I really don't want to interfere to much, because I want the feeling that they are their own people with their own personalities and not just puppets of mine. :P I try to only direct them to fulfill their own wishes (but some wishes I do cancel..)
11 pages of bookmarks..!? Or just bookmarked 11 pages...? Wow, I don't even have this forum bookmarked, because well, I have never been good with using bookmarks.. :P
Yeah, I want the honeymoon to be a pleasant one of course, hopefully I will feel ok enough to play a round later today and post an update either today or tomorrow. :P
@emorill Oh, sorry if I missed a comment. Yeah, I usually go by the notification system, and I might miss one if I get no notification. <_< Hmm, well, I still don't know if they're gonna have kids or not!
Spring is always nice after a winter. Snow is nice, but you do get a little tired of the cold and the bad weather. :P Thanks for enjoying the update!
@Brandontaylor Thanks for the comments. Yeah, fishing and cruise ships... must be a thing, because "everyone" really wanted to ask about fish all the time. :P
Hahaha, to me there is always somethibng awkward about the selfie poses, but that aside, your sims are cute. :P
Does Lily usually get mad from receiving phone calls? :P
Oh, Emily Jones, she is the mother of the entire family? Imagine if we could actually do that, just go to the graveyard and have a talk with our deceaced loved ones...
Wow, Harlan has a negative thing, but only for select types of supernaturals, interesting!
I like to watch jam sessions.
Ah, Rose finally got to ask Pierre to go steady.
Yes, I can tell Rose looks like Daisy, but it is a nice look. Having sims that are a little bit unique is good, though.
Hehe, Daisy is looking straight at the "camera" when they are eating cake.
Oh, nice a wedding, congratulations to Rose and Brandon for getting married.
Looks like a very nice winter day there, I like snowboarding picture.
Haha, yeah, I thought the same thing after trying the divide by 0.. not expecting the sim to catch fire! :P
Sub blogs: #01 Sunset Valley. #02: Lake Onebega #03: Sprottenham #04: Bewickton
@Silverofdreams30 Thanks! It was probably two years before I ever posted something I built. I just kept practicing until I felt I was doing a fair job. I don't do fancy though. I think of mine as comfortable.
Thanks!
@emorrill Thanks, appreciate the comments.
@Brandontaylor Thank you!
Love seeing what your sims are up too. The girls are all so pretty even if they look alike. I like the all have different hair colors.
Brandon looks pretty good playing those drums. I hope they have fun as a band.
Congrats to Brandon and Lily!
I love all the winter pictures.
Congrats to all the birthday sims!
@GraceyManor I'm enjoying the story. Love Beau! Any guy that can knock someone out with one blow is a winner for me!
Bummer he doesn't like anyone.
@lisasc360 Enjoyed the updates.
@texansky Nice neighbor! It looks much better. The train sets do look funny, hopefully someone will buy those too.
Oh wow. She is having to do so much work. Good that they are making a bit of money from selling things they find. Hope the plants start producing soon.
@Sprottenham Yep, 11 pages. Most of the bookmarks are help threads especially things related to building and decorating and a bunch on CAW.
I do hope you are feeling better soon.
The Cowboy and the Mermaid
Practice makes perfect as it says hehe.
Praaven is such a beautiful world in any season!
The creator put so much effort into the world.I have
tried other medieval worlds and nothing compares to it.
@lisasc360
lol at lisa not holding the bowling ball right.
That sounds like me.XD Phone calls always
at the wrong time.XD
Your sewing room looks fantastic! I love the sewing mod from
modthesims.
@bekkasan
Yeah I still test the lots when I have time.
Been busy at work, and playing a new game I bought
that I'm very addicted to XD
The lone ranger home looks like a fun lot, will have to download
it when I get a chance.
They want to make sure he doesn't remember his research.XD
@Turjan
The slap on the plumbot is the funniest thing.XD
Poor bot.The phot of him painting with no shirt is
super cute.
the little dragon he has with him.
@emorrill
Yeah I don't feel like getting in trouble for copyright.
So my version has stuff that wasn't in the book and such.XD
It is the heart of the ocean.I never seen the "OOPS" video but I
do know the song.XD
Yeah, no neither could I, would be super stressed getting threats all
the time.
I love smart sexy doctors to...cops, firefighters...Any guy in a uniform honestly.XD
Oh that link is neat! I will use it for future fake texts! Thanks!

Wow, @Puddinroy! I haven't seen you in years. Mostly my fault. Been away since 2017.
@MamaSimTee Hey, there! Good to see you.
@Karritz
Sorry to hear about Bonnie's accident. Was there a shower in the room with the invention table? Would a non-played Sim be smart enough to use it if there was?
That's a beautiful location to showcase Bonnie's urn.
I remember reading about Felix and the Fairy Village long ago. Good to see he's still around.
Kim Faulks looks like a party animal. Is he on something? The eyes suggest so.
In my first run-through of the farming challenge, I put a teddy bear in the crib before the first baby arrived home. I don't think she got an IF doll. Her four siblings each had one and I didn't put a bear in their cribs. Is there a correlation? I'm going to have to test that theory in my current play-through of the farming challenge.

You provided some good information regarding the DCBackup files. I have a separate game folder called "The Sims 3 - Store" that I copied right after I installed all the store content and before I added mods or any other custom content. That folder has never been played.
I have been slowly going through the downloads directory of that folder and using Custard to determine the package files associated with each Sims3Pack. I'm creating a folder for each Sims3Pack that has multiple package files and moving the package files into their folder. For any that have only one package file, I am renaming the package file the same as the Sims3Pack filename. I wish there was a way to see the icons for the store items for multiple package files. It would be nice to know what each of the package files is.
---
On a side note, I hate the way Windows Explorer handles the sorting of hexadecimal file names like the package files. They are definitely NOT sorted in order. There appears to be no rhyme or reason to the order they end up in when sorting either up or down. I've resorted to using Command Prompt to find the file and looking at the date and time stamp of the file to narrow my search.
@bekkasan
Beautiful exterior of Liberty Belle by @romagi1. I didn't know you could put ducks in the pond.
Ya, Loni's had a rough week. She still hasn't made an A in school, but the house and yard are starting to shape up.
I agree with @emorrill. The Fantasia Emporium is fantastic! Well worth seeing that shot again with the star-filled sky as a backdrop.
---
Thanks for the link to Crinrict's site. I copied the information about each folder into separate !README.txt files and put them in their appropriate folders for future reference.
@lisasc360
Sheep and knitting? Wow, MTS has some really interesting things available. I haven't been there browsing in years. Maybe I'll check it out again.
The sheep are really cute. I'd like to see the sheep on one of the balls. Do you actually have to feed the sheep every day?
Looks like Dawn is knitting a scarf. Does it grow over time or is it just an animation thing?
---
Your sewing room looks so organized. Great job on making the most of the small space.
It's really neat that she is actually using the treadle of the sewing machine while she sews. Great job to whoever designed it.
---
Isn't Elaine married to Norman? Par for the course, the neighborhood Sims are so plumb they can't stay faithful to anyone.
@Astro
Thanks for your reply. It's good to know that recoloring base game items isn't an issue. Thanks for the link. There was a lot of back and forth in that thread, but I was able to glean some good information from it.
---
Wow, that warehouse looks fantastic. You've made it livable and yet still trashy at the same time.
Imagine guests shooing you out of the warehouse so they can use the facilities? Or would they just hold it until they couldn't hold it anymore because there isn't a private room to go in?
The outside does need a bit of a downgrade.
I love Create-a-Style. I am constantly recoloring and changing patterns on outfits, furniture, wallpaper, siding, jewelry. I could go on, but you get the idea.
@Nikkei_Simmer
Sorry to hear you had to sit for hours in a vehicle waiting on your wife. Having more month at the end of your money is never a pleasant experience. Hope things look up for you soon.
@Emily4331
Very good likeness of Trish. I used to get beef lips sucking on sunflower seeds in the shell and hulling them with my teeth. The salt in them would seriously plump up my lips.
---
I think the Sims 3 has a lot of fashions coming back. A lot of folks are using beef lips on their Sims (sliders or skins, I can't decide). They also use layering of shirts. I don't know about skirts over jeans but definitely skirts over leggings. Recolor them blue with a jeans-type cloth pattern and there you go.
@GraceyManor
I'm really liking your story. That stalker is really annoying. Good of Jacob to round up the loose horses.
That stranger had some nerve beating Jacob and reporting that Brianna kidnapped him!
I bookmarked your story thread just in case I miss a post or want to reread it from the beginning. Thanks for posting it.
---
I can't place the guy in the tub. He looks familiar. Who is that? Is that Ethan from @Turjan?
@emorrill
Good to see you're having fun playing Sims. Random fun is always the best kind of game. Especially if you end up with some good shots of the fun!
---
Thanks for sharing the fake texts link. I've bookmarked it.
I hope you and yours get over COVID 19 soon.
My cell is on do not disturb all the time and only family and friends and a few businesses, medical facilities get to ring through. I hate those robocalls.
---
Glad you liked my Room to Grow starter home. I was surprised the price ended up being exactly §16,500. When I did the full upgrade remodel, I just chose random items for each room and worked the style and color scheme off of that. The inspiration in the Dining Room was the china cabinet (Haute Hacienda Kitchen- Mami's Bookcase).
@Turjan
Is Stella Striker pregnant in the pic of her talking to Ethan? I like the dress that Renee Littler is wearing.
Looks like Ethan has better dance moves than Stella.
Those sliders look lopsided.
---
I can't even imagine Harry Marks' family living in a house with only one single bed. How did Polly even get pregnant in the first place?
---
Nice mini dragon. Green is the one for gardening, right?
Congratulations on Ethan's final promotion! That's a fabulous-looking refrigerator. I might have to recolor it. Just kidding!
@Sprottenham
Sofia has got to be beyond frustrated by now. Belo Horizonte translates literally to Beautiful Horizon. An appropriate name for a tropical retreat.
Does Palash have the absent-minded trait? Trying to go to work while on vacation?
Good on Palash to finally notice his smoking hot bride. Finally, a little initiative.
I agree with you. I think two "action" wishes on Sofia's part trumps the no "action" wishes of Palash. Love the fist in the air!
---
The whole scenario with "Nils Frogner" had me laughing! It's amazing how a simple "reset" can come back around and bite you.
---
I hope you are surviving your bout with covid.
@Brandontaylor
I'm glad you like it. I haven't built one like that before. I wonder if playing in that layout would drive me crazy, given my play style? Especially those upper cupboards in the kitchen.
---
Your plantSim gals are all very pretty. Love the selfie of Daisy and her daughter Rose!
Dinner, a snowman, AND a completed opportunity? Grand slam!
It's like Daisy knew you were about to take a screenshot. She looked up right into the camera and smiled before eating Rose's birthday cake.
Congratulations on Lily and Brandon's wedding!

Does your grandma have the Elvis on velvet framed on her wall?
