    Hey how would I explain the Calientes sisters have magic powers? (Not that's it important at this stage of the story)

    What if it were genetic? Like if they came from a long line of brujas?

    That could explain why (Leah) gets it..in the Swansons when I get to Gen 6


    That's what I was thinking!

    since it does come a little out of left field that Leah has powers in "Rotten to the Core" but it could also explain why the rest of the school (of Gen 6 minus Selene who doesn't attend) is afraid of her (Once I decided which of the sisters going to be the ancestor-it goes from them->daughter-<daughter-.>daughter-> but it skips Vivienne for some reason->Leah)

    It's kind of interesting the new EP

    It looks pretty cool to me, although I'm mainly excited about the historical costumes in the trailer. :D

    What are you guys looking forward to in Get Famous?

    @15aewar @MadameLee

    I'm always excited about new worlds. But I've heard people aren't happy with it and find it lacking in content, which I feel is a common problem. But people pay so EA keeps making bucks.

    I'm not preordering and I'll probably wait for it to go on sale since I'm on a tighter budget after buying my home. I have a few LA-esque worlds in TS3 that are probably better, but I will definitely give the expansion a try.

    That's kind of funny actually. First off, it's an alphabetacy as you know, so this generation is E's. I really wanted to have 1 daughter named Ever just for the punny chapter titles, and was surprised by triplets. Sadly, Ever got NO votes. :'( Elyse and Esmerelda were named quite spontaneously.

    @Karilan Ever is a cute name. I actually knows someone named Everly.

    Here's another chapter of Book O' Spells: The Life and Times of Lady Ravendancer Goth.

    I wish it wasn't so short and info-dumpy, but I had to work today. I'm a bit tired.

    You know, someone should start a fantasy-themed reading circle or something with RP elements. That could be really fun.

    Sometimes these things skip generations! They can also be latent abilities!

    I was SO close to voting for Ever! I wanted to see your exploration of her mean trait and to see if she could come to change her views on bullying. She also made me think of the changes that her great-great-great aunt went through in Gen 2!

    Read last spoiler of mine in her thread, @CathyTea . It’s my thoughts on Ever’s mean trait.

    @AdamsEve1231 Well we get a new career ,being able to register our Restaurant/Retailer/gardener/author not in the writing career/ and terrain tools in the patch.

    What people are complaing about:
    smaller world
    only one 1 CAS trait (but 2 Lot traits)
    2 aspirations (not too happy about the "Master Actor" aspiration turns into a Master Actress for a female sim)

    I think actor/actress makes the aspiration feel less generic, but that's just me. :)

    Get Famous also got me interested at first, but I also find it lacking enough content to make me want to buy it. I'll probably wait for a sale like most people.

    Could someone give me a reason for why a dad would not want (girl) to date (person) I need it for a backstory

    I have a few suggestions:

    Dad is controlling, he wants girl to avoid dating someone from a certain ethnicity
    Or he might be the type who prefers arranged marriages, so he forbids the girl from dating
    The said person reminds dad of someone he dislikes
    Dad is overprotective, believing that he's protecting his daughter by forbidding her to date anyone

    Perhaps he thinks he's protecting her. I guess it depends on the age of the girl. Younger than 18, Dad has more reason/ influence. Older than 18, that gets tricky in terms of telling someone they can't date someone else.

    Perhaps if he's paying for college, and he wants her to focus on school, even if she is old enough to make her own decisions.

    Or if she's living under his roof, he feels he can tell her what to do... maybe this guy/girl don't want to respect his reasonable guidelines or unrealistic rules (the latter makes me think controlling; the former like he would prefer no overnights or something like that).

    @Bugsie2016 Which would be an irony here since (boyfriend) is going to be doing the same thing in the future with his own son forbidding him to date (Girl). But the Boyfriend's son and (Girlfriend) will get a happy ending unlike (boyfriend).

    There were so many punny possibilities! I may still work some in if Ever remains a big part of Elyse's life. We shall see.

    For now, I've gotta go updates banners and get the first chapter up!
