I love watching the robots and little buddy your sim or robots can talk to.
I have been slowly rebuilding all of Bridgeport's waterfront and not touching any of the skyscrapers in the main city area. I am trying mix old historical downtown with the new city. Catalina and Darnell live in the apartments with graffiti. Her family owns that building and the shops next to it as well.
Bridgeport was built and founded off the shipping industry. In my story seafood is one of the city's major products exported (along with blood...). I built a fishery/ hatchery that is owned by the Redder family. They bought the fishery from Ebenezer Alto right before he passed.
I plan on putting low-income apartments on the second and third floors and retail on the on the first floor. Waylon's Haunt is a separate building that will have apartments above the bar...sorry tenants!
After getting my baby sis back from the dead...we chill...just for a minute.
The restaurant scene is booming, and I need in on this! A lot of these chefs are vampires?...What are they cooking!
Humans love fish, vampires love fish, everybody loves fish! Catalina visiting her family's fishery. There is a food register from debug in this lot making the lot a market. Sims can buy fresh produce, cooked meals and most of all fish. Sims can also sell fish and produce on this lot. When I first started building this fishery I put three ponds inside the building. I could fish inside the hatchery. I'm not trying to breed fish in my game, so I switched it up
Happy Simming!
I assumed Patty Hong was asking my sims brother out on a date, but I noticed his brother is still at a party where the police showed up to arrested a sim.
UPDATE: Whew it's a group outing I didn't read it clearly; he was on a date and left the date to go on a group outing.
Just scenery, this world is sooo pretty!
I decided to play with Darlene Bunch as a young adult, she had enough of her crazy
family so she took her stuff and a cat with her and moved to Hidden springs.
This is townies I edited a tiny bit
The spa is so gorgeous! Look at this pool!
More scenery gorgeous!

That was all!
Thank you, I like for my sims to have a cat or another pet as I have none in
real life.
But first...
@Brandontaylor I'm glad there were no tornadoes in your area. One touched down in Hot Springs out of the clear blue and it was a shock to everyone in the area... Because they don't happen often here. EF2.
Check it out. (No sound...) Watch the whole thing, it's crazy.
@Silverofdreams30 Thanks.
Yay! You're visiting Hidden Springs too!
Yes it had gorgeous scenery! 🥰
Darlene is a pretty sim.
You made a hottie out of Carl Abbot!!! Woo!!!
Which evil sister is that that you gave the makeover to?
Awwwwww! I adore this picture of Darlene's cat!
Awesome post!
@Misty4m Enjoyed your posts.
@MiataPlay It looks great what you're doing in Bridgeport.
I love how the city looks with the snow falling.

The air crackled with anticipation as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm, amber glow over the sprawling venue. Dust danced in the gentle breeze, swirling around the boots of eager concertgoers who had gathered beneath the star-studded sky. Nestled amidst rolling hills and under the vast expanse of the open sky, the stage stood as a beacon of promise, its lights pulsating with rhythmic energy.
At the heart of it all, Jackson Reid took his place, a lone figure bathed in the spotlight. With his guitar slung low and the brim of his hat casting a shadow over his piercing gaze, he exuded an effortless charisma that captivated the crowd from the moment he stepped into view. His fingers danced across the strings, coaxing melodies that seemed to echo the very soul of the land
As the first notes of his signature song rang out, a wave of cheers swept through the audience, mingling with the twang of guitars and the thump of drums. Jackson’s voice, rich and soulful, soared above the sea of sound, carrying with it the stories of love and loss that had come to define his music.
But amidst the sea of faces, there was one that caught his eye—a lone figure seated in the front row, her eyes alight with a fervent passion that mirrored his own. Her voice rose above the crowd, a sweet harmony that intertwined with his own, as if they were two souls bound by the music that pulsed through their veins.
Jackson:
I thumb my way from L.A. back to Knoxville.
I found out those bright lights ain’t where I belong.
For a moment, time seemed to stand still as their voices intertwined, weaving a tapestry of sound that enveloped them both in its embrace. And as the final chords faded into the night, Jackson found himself drawn to the edge of the stage, his eyes locked with hers in a silent promise that spoke of a connection forged in the fires of passion and music.
Libby from the audience: From a phone booth in the rain I called to tell her, I’ve had a change of dreams I’m coming home.
Jackson: But the tears filled my eyes when I found out she was gone.
Smoky Mountain rain keeps on falling, I’ll keep on calling her name.
Smoky Mountain rain, I’ll keep on searching, I can’t go on hurting this way.
She’s somewhere in this Smoky Mountain rain.
I can’t blame her for letting go, a woman needs someone warm to hold. Feel the
rain running down my face, I’ll find her no matter what it takes.
Jackson: I waved a diesel down outside a cafe, said he was going as far as Gatlinburg.
I climbed in the cab all wet and cold and lonely.
Libby: climbed in the cab all wet and cold and lonely.
I wiped my eyes and told him about her.
Jackson: I can’t blame her for letting go, a woman needs someone warm to hold.rain running down my face, I’ll find her no matter what it takes.
As the last lingering notes of the song faded into the night, Jackson couldn’t shake the magnetic pull of the fan in the front row. There was something about her, something that tugged at the edges of his consciousness like a half-remembered dream.
With a crooked grin, he leaned forward, his guitar hanging casually from his shoulder as he addressed the crowd. “Well, would you look at that?” he drawled, his voice carrying effortlessly over the hushed murmurs of the audience. “Seems like we’ve got ourselves a fellow troubadour in the house tonight.”

Thank you, I think that was ellas sister or step sister
eunice I made a make over to.
Continuing from Emma Beckett's party: (With Liam O'Dourke as the active Sim. 🥰 )
Liam saw her busting out the moves and was quite impressed!
^Sorry, sometimes the OMSP doesn't disappear when I'm in Live Mode in this save... 😐
So he decided to join in! (But sadly he didn't do the Smustle as well...
Of course I made sure Liam had a good chat with his buddy Sam. 💜
^I do wish that Sam had been in his formal attire like everyone else because he looks so smexy in it. 💖 Sigh...
Naturally they talked shop about Science stuff. 😄👍🏻
Liam finally left the party at around 3am! It was a foggy early morning...
Once the sun was up high in the sky, it heralded a gorgeous day! 🌞
Liam was quite overjoyed to catch a cockroach on his property... 😬😂 I love his smile. 🥰
It was the weekend, Sunday, so I sent Liam to a community lot for fun. I chose the Shoreline Cabin, even though there really isn't much to do there. lol.
While there, he met @bekkasan 's Simself, Bekka and I KNEW they would get hearts for each other! 😁
(How did I know? I dunno, I'm just good like that... 😏😜)
Since Bekka is new in town, she told Liam all about where she used to live. And he seemed genuinely interested in all that she was sharing.
Next, he bravely approached Francisca Vanderburg to ask for her autograph. (I was surprised this time around that they got hearts for each other... 🤷🏻♀️ )
She agreed! 😃⭐ Liam was THRILLED!
^It might've been due to the fact that Liam is now a 3-Star celebrity, being BFF's with Sam and Emma Beckett and all. 😜
Liam had a wish to "mind meld" with someone, so I thought I would try and fulfull that with Francisca. I'll admit I was also surprised she allowed him to do that.
She looks so nervous! 😆 Like, "Oh gosh what kind of dirt is he going to dig up on me from my troubled past...Maaaaybe this wasn't such a good idea after all..." 😬🤣
After that Liam hit up Mick's again and did some Karaoke. He was killing it! ⭐ And he looked adorable doing it. 💗
Later that evening he visited the gym, as he tries to go at least 3 times a week. 👍🏻 (It's what I need to be doing personally...I can use my sims to inspire me! 😂)
Afterward I was trying to capture a picture of him viewing the waterfall not too far from the gym. This was the best shot I got...
As much as it pained me to have to move on from Liam and check out the other households and fix them up...it needed to be done.\
So bye to the sweet, adorable nerd Liam O'Dourke for now. 🖐🏻
I saw CravenLestat's ladies in town the other day while playing with Liam and they definitely need my custom skins - and other cc - on them. 😊
"The Man in the Black Cap" - Craven Lestat - lives in a large, 4 bedroom house with his 3 Queens (aka 3 of his favorite lady Sims 😏 ). They are:
Betty Simovitch
Lotta Greaves
Lily January
I placed them all into the world for fun and to make cameo's in Sam's story. I know @CravenLestat enjoyed seeing them during the story's run and I miss him and hope he is doing well. 💜 (If you ever see this post Craven, this next part is all for you. 😘 )
The first girl I picked on 😛 was Betty. Here she is without my new cc touch:
She truly is a beautiful EA made sim all on her own, but once I'm done with her, she'll be gorgeous. 🤩
After being given a new skin, new eyes, new makeup - and some clothes - viola!
^She's my favorite of the 3 ladies. ⭐
Next I quickly gave Craven a new skin, doing nothing else to him, and he gives me this smug expression like: "Alright, here I am. Did y'all miss me?" 😜
Here's a close up of Lotta after touching her up. She's the famous ghost from Bridgeport, and when she's revived, this is the color of her skin - or at least pretty darn close to it with the custom skin I put on her. 👍🏻 Pretty lady.
I thought I had gotten a close up shot of Lily after I touched her up, but I didn't! Whoops! 😬 Lily is from Lunar Lakes and...has a husband apparently. 😳 I did not know this! Craven just sent her to me. 😆 Because I don't have LL. I guess she and her husband divorced once she met Craven! LOL! 🤣 Anyway! She's a unique one in her clothing style. Here's the best close up I got of her playing a video game:
And here she is chatting it up with Craven at the dinner table:
It would seem that Betty sure hates her job in Politics... Lol!
^Guess I would too if I was a Podium Polisher... 😐
I don't know how in the hey they got a pet! But her name is Pretty Princess. 😆 She's not the most flattering looking mini poodle imho...
When I found her to take a picture, she was busy peeing. 🤣 In the flower bushes...
Once I directed her away from it, she barked at me:
😬
I dunno, do any of y'all think she's cute? 🤷🏻♀️
I went about the house and decorated a few things, inside and out. And I dunno about you, but I think I can see Chocobo tracks in the grass here... 😛 #whenyouknowyouknow
Look hard...and let your imagination do the rest...
^Yes, I know they are dandelions, and Chocobo tracks are brown, but I couldn't help it. Lol! Just being silly...
Next I moved onto the Abbot household, for @Silverofdreams30 's benefit. 😊
So here's Carl, the way I did him up for Sam's story. (He made an appearance near the end of the story, when Emma's old flame, Bruce Chesterfield, hired him to spy on the mysterious Sam Beckett who stole his girl's heart away. 😜 )
Y'all, he's daddy. 😍 Can I get an amen?
^I'd forgotten just how attractive I made him... 🥰
Ok, so I told Silver that I would age him down to YA as well and provide a YA son for them (Carl and his wife). 👍🏻😁
Here's how Carl looks aged down:
Not too much of a difference from the previous picture, you can definitely see a change in the eyes though.
That's when I got to work creating a son. 😊
Everyone, meet: Kenny Abbot. 💗
Yeah, need a close up.
I didn't want him to be an exact clone of Carl's - cause I really can't stand that in sim genetics - so I shrunk his nose a little. 👍🏻 And obviously changed his hair and skin color.
Before I went back into LIVE mode though, I was debating on giving Kenny glasses or not...
What do y'all think?
For now, I decided without until I hear your thoughts.
So I merged him with the Abbot household, added him as a child via MC, and then had Carl call his son over, welcoming him home. 😊
They hugged and then chatted about life. (I'm pretending that Kenny came home after a semester at University.
Kenny: Nah dad, I don't think I can go the Political route. I don't wanna get wrapped up in that kind of stuff...
Carl: Understandable, son. Well, just keep focusing on your General studies and you'll find your passion soon enough.
^Kenny doesn't look too thrilled with that idea. 😆
Kenny: I think I've already found my passion though, dad. I wanna travel the world! Broaden my horizons. Heck, I dunno, maybe become and archaeologist. When I visited Shang Simla with my buddy this past summer we had the BEST time! It's just a darn shame we couldn't keep the Koi that we captured while fishing...
Carl: Yeah... Well, I admire your ambitions Kenny, but *sigh* you gotta make some money in order to travel the world...
Kenny: I know... And I'm on that.
Carl: Just do whatever makes you happy...and gets you a decent living alright?
Kenny: *half smiles* I will remember that dad, don't worry.
Carl: Just don't do anything rash to earn quick money like, gambling, bitcoin, or...performing in drag or something. 😂
Kenny: *LOL's* No worries there dad... Although my buddy did that and he actually ROCKED it! 🤣
Carl: *Gives an unamused look, but then cracks a smile with a head shake*
(I love coming up with dialogue based on Sim's thought bubbles. 😁 In case y'all didn't notice already.)
Once inside the house, Kenny took a look around; familiarizing himself with home again. 😊
He seemed quite repulsed with this vase of flowers his mom picked out in his absense. 😂 Cracked me up!
But dayum, he's fine. 😍
Meanwhile, Carl was throwing out suggestions at Maya (his wife). 😏
^That's not her normal haircolor, I changed it for Sam's story for fun.
Kenny went outside to practice making drinks at their pool bar.
They seriously have the smallest pool...
I've never seen a Sim try their drink creation and then throw up from it! 😆 I tried to fully capture it when it happened to Kenny, but this is the best shot I got:
Well anyway, that's it for this episode of Emorrill's Random Gameplay: Revisiting Sam's Hidden Springs Edition! 😃 Hope y'all enjoyed it!
I need to run and adult today! 😆
Bye for now. 💗
Wow he look great a s a teen, great job!
I enjoyed the update, good Liam met that girl haha.
great makeovers too.
@emorrill Dee..Lish! I love your hot male sims and Kenny Abbot is a heartbreaker! Carl is Daddy!
Nice post by the way!
s the final echoes of applause dissipated into the night and the crowd began to disperse, the energy in the air slowly transitioned from electric to tranquil. The venue’s lights dimmed, casting long shadows over the emptying seats. Jackson stood at the edge of the stage, watching the people drift away, his eyes searching for the young woman who had captivated the entire audience.
There she was, slipping through the throngs of concertgoers, her head slightly bowed as if trying to blend into the background. She moved with a quiet grace, her presence almost ethereal in the fading light. Jackson felt an inexplicable urge to speak to her, to learn more about the woman whose voice had touched his soul.
He handed his guitar to a stagehand and took a quick, determined stride toward the exit. The bustling activity of the post-concert teardown buzzed around him, but his focus remained singular. As he reached the edge of the clearing crowd, he saw her stepping out into the open night, her silhouette framed by the glow of the distant lights.
Hey, wait up!” Jackson called, his voice carrying over the chatter of the dispersing fans.
She paused, turning slightly, her eyes widening in surprise as she recognized him. The gentle hum of the night surrounded them, a symphony of crickets and rustling leaves. Jackson jogged up to her, a lopsided grin on his face.
“I didn’t get a chance to thank you,” he said, slightly out of breath. “You were incredible up there.”
Her cheeks flushed, and she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, looking both pleased and shy. “Thank you,” she replied softly. “I wasn’t expecting… well, any of that.”
Jackson chuckled, the sound rich and warm. “Neither was I. But I’m glad it happened. What’s your name?”
“Libby,” she answered, her voice steadying. “Libby Foster”
“Libby Foster,” he repeated, as if savoring the sound of it. “You’ve got a gift, Lila. That was more than just singing. It was… magic.”
Libby’s eyes sparkled with a mix of gratitude and disbelief. “Coming from you, that means a lot. I’ve been a fan of your music for as long as I can remember.”
“Well, now I’m a fan of yours,” Jackson said sincerely. “Listen, I’d love to talk more. Can I buy you a coffee or something? I’d hate to let this night end without getting to know the person behind that amazing voice.”
Libby hesitated for a moment, then nodded, a smile breaking across her face. “I’d like that.”
They walked together toward a nearby café, the conversation flowing easily between them. Jackson learned that Libby had grown up in a small town, much like the ones he often sang about, and that music had always been her sanctuary. As they sat in a cozy booth, the café’s warm light casting a golden glow around them, Jackson felt a connection he hadn’t experienced in years.
Hours passed like minutes as they shared stories and dreams, laughter and hopes. The world outside faded into a distant memory, leaving only the present moment—two kindred spirits finding solace in each other’s company.
As the night deepened, the café’s warm glow provided a comforting contrast to the cool breeze outside. Jackson glanced at his watch, realizing how late it had become. “Libby,” he said, catching her eye, “it’s getting pretty late. How about I give you a ride home? My limo’s just around the corner.”
Libby hesitated, then nodded, her smile returning. “That sounds great. Thank you.”
They stepped out into the night, the city lights casting long shadows on the empty streets. Jackson led the way to his sleek, black limo parked discreetly nearby. The chauffeur, recognizing Jackson, opened the door with a respectful nod.
After you,” Jackson said, gesturing for Libby to enter.
She slid into the plush interior, marveling at the luxurious comfort. Jackson followed, settling in beside her. The door closed with a soft thud, enveloping them in a cocoon of quiet.

THANK YOU I have found it so hard to keep focused on my game with all this going on haha. As always I'm obsessed with everyone's updates, I'm a number 1 lurker
I hope everybody is doing well
Generation VI Chapter Thirteen: Ancient Bloodlines
Persephone finally confronts the ghost of Gretle Goth and gets some of the answers she seeks, as well as a ton more questions! I love a flashback episode and creating the scenes for Gretle's time was so much fun. Can the Goths and Evergreens unite to break the curse?
Generation VI Chapter Fourteen: Growing Numbers
Still reeling from meeting Gretle and hearing her story, Persephone tries to settle into some kind of normality. Cosmo's life's dreams are realised, the twins prepare to start school, and we bid farewell to an all-grown-up Shadow. I will admit this chapter was an excuse to use the expansion pack's woohoo location...
Generation VI Chapter Fifteen: Mending Bonds
Kressida offers words of wisdom as a heavily pregnant Persephone battles with her destiny. The arrival of her third child brings about a crucial decision and the heir to the seventh generation is crowned.
Generation VI Chapter Sixteen: Giving and Receiving
Cosmo receives a huge opportunity for his completed ark, the twins are flourishing at school, and Xavier is finding his own two feet at last. In true Evergreen fashion, Persephone's second younger brother gets married bringing the whole clan back together!
Generation VII begins on 2nd June with Winnie Evergreen
Of course people are still posting here.
You definitely have a way of making the words flow together as you write. ⭐
Jackson is quite the handsome cowboy. 😍
That was a nice capture of a mesmerized look on his face while singing, seeing the woman in the crowd who caught his eye.
Boy I'll bet it made Libby's night to be personally approached by the famous Jackson Reid!
Jackson is quite the charmer.
Umm, of course I'm gonna click on that link to read more!
Cute titles he came up with for the song. I'd be fangirling all over the place if I were Libby! He basically confessed his attraction for her and how he feels she is his match.
Which world are you playing in for this story?
Lovely chapter! I look forward to more.
@Silverofdreams30 ^Ok. Yeah Eunice is much easier to clean up that her sister and mom are!
Thanks.
@MiataPlay ^Hee hee! Thank you.
I'm glad to see there's another person who agreed with me about Carl being daddy.
@Misty4m Yep, those Sim babies be keeping Sims just as busy as real babies and toddlers do. Lol! I can only handle so many in the same household before I go... 😵
@lizzielilyy You're very welcome.
Looks like some great updates!
https://graceymanorsims3.tumblr.com/
It’s good to see Sam and Emma in these updates.
Craven is being his normal self, I see.
@GraceyManor Thats such a good song. My mom got to see Ronnie Milsap in concert years ago.
