EunB was the first sim I played in Sims 4. She recently died of old age. She had twins with Don Lothario, 4 children with her ex-husband & 6 children with husband Arun Bheeda.
This is EunB & Don Lothario's daughter Sunbi. She is a b-list celebrity.
Here we have Sunbi's daughters Sunhwa & Sunmi. Their dad is alien.
Sunbi's twinsister Eunji & her husband Paolo Rocca.
Right now I play through EunB's children 1 week with each child.
I put young adult EunB on the gallery.

The life of my sims. Elina & Don.
Off in a new, fresh file, Viper was getting to know the locals around Sulani, the temporary home of Ohm and himself and the permanent home of Harvey and his family.
"Is the sunshade helping any bit?" asked Paddi as Harvey was trying to get out of the blazing rays.
Harvey shook his head.
"Sadly, no. It's still sizzling my skin. I'm going over to the gazebo to see if that shade may help."
"Auntie Ohm!" a girl on the beach shouted. "Help me build my sand sculpture for the beach contest!"
The redhead AI giggled.
"Hang on now...Okay, let's see..."
"I wanna beat Uncle Viper and that guy!" the little one laughed.
"Well, we're gonna need a bit more sand!"
Paddi came over, about to help when she found a disturbance in the sand.
"Oh! What's this?"
"Ouch!" Paddi exclaimed as the a crab bit her finger, all while Ohm and the child finished the sand sculpture.
"Yee! It's great!"
Viper and his friend soon came over, Viper kissing his wife on the cheek.
"Mommy?" the girl asked Paddi. "Can I go hang out with Dad?"
Paddi waved her off.
"Go ahead, Becky. He's over at the gazebo."
Becky bounded over to the picnic table where her father was sitting under the shade, doing something on his phone.
Becky giggled.
"Heehee, Daddy guess what?"
"Hm? Oh sorry Beccaboo. I'm sending a message to our new Spellcaster AIs. They're supposed to be doing some training with your mother and the other new AIs soon and I need to get forms ready for it in case someone overcharges or something. Really boring stuff."
"Then why do it if it's boring?" Becky laughed.
Harvey gave a chuckling sigh.
"Because sometimes you need to do boring work to get to the fun stuff."
"Well can you make the boring stuff fun? I think things would go a lot faster if it were fun."
"If that's the case then, how come your homework is rarely done?" asked Harvey in a teasing manner.
"Because that's part of my job as your daughter. I gotta keep you on your toes."
Harvey suddenly started laughing hard, Becky looking with a raised brow.
"Dad? Are you okay?"
Harvey soon regained his composure.
"Oh my, Becky. I'm...I'm okay. You just reminded me of a family member from long ago."
"Auntie Becca?" asked Becky.
Harvey smiled, bringing his daughter close.
"Yeah. She would say such things when we were younger to her own Gramma. Except it was usually over cleaning her room."
Becky hugged into her father.
"Haha! She sounds like she would have been fun to have around."
Harvey chuckled.
"She would have been, yes."
"But you remind so much of her," added Harvey. "You're fun, rebellious, and loving."
Becky smiled back.
"You and Mom taught me that though, Dad. Did she teach you that too?"
Harvey sighed, holding Becky close.
"I don't know about the rebellious part, but she did teach me how far one will go for their family...And were it not for her, you wouldn't have existed."
"Really? She sounds like she was awesome."
"She was, Becky. She was awesome."
And thus Laptop Beta will move to Laptop Alpha in future tales. Next time though, I finally go back to roots.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess

Goodness, has this thread gone quiet! Well, thanks to the patch, I had to start over a bit, which wasn't a big deal since I had recently started over anyway due to having to reinstall Windows and all kinds of fun things to my computer before that (long story). My old saves are still safe on Google Drive, if I want to go back to them though!
Underwood - Ultimate Sim Save
Alayna Underwood is my Ultimate Sim, and is a teen living by herself in Newcrest. She's slowly working on her skills, finding a love interest and getting her character values. So far, she has Responsibility and Manners. She has won 3 Starlight Accolades for her videos, which are all about her playing her guitar. Her best friend is Sofia Bjergsen, and Moira Fyres is like a surrogate mother to her. She has reached Notable Newcomer status.
Preston - Genetacy Save
Adam and Eve Preston are off to a good start. They recently had a son named Asher, who will be heir, and are both in the Freelancer career as they tackle University classes. Adam is a Freelance Programmer going for a Distinguished Computer Science degree, while Eve is a Freelance Writer going for a Language and Literature degree. They are currently going through money as fast as they get it trying to get their house set up, but they're still doing pretty well. Right now both Adam and Eve are taking one degree class and one elective each.
Hopefully some of the glitches go away before too long!
@Kimmer , lol, now I am curious what is the name of the dude who stole Alli's heart Something horrible I assume to be PLUMMED
ps. söpöi kisui
My love, my love, my fearless love, I will not say goodbye..
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
In my game Sofia Bjergsen moved to Del Sol Valley in hopes of becoming a celebrity. I had an idea that maybe she could date Kayla Flemming, since Sofia needed something to do, she has the brushes with fame quirck and I had pondered what I would do with Kayla and whether I wanted to keep her in my game at all.
So I sent Sofia to the gym and it did not take long for Kayla to show up. She was angry and hopped on the treadmill. I made Sofia join her.
Yet they would not really talk to each other, so Sofia asked Kayla to mentor her.
And kept eyeing her like this
Makoa tried to come take a picture with Sofia and after a couple of tries she finally gave in. Meanwhile Kayla was about to head off.
Sofia quickly caught her up and...
despite of another fan of her staring them like this ...
Kayla seemed to like Sofia
They hung out later together and I'm just so happy about how well they seem to get along! I also noticed that Kayla is actually very pretty.
A short Sulani story. Keala Hoapili visited my Sim and his boyfriend with Extra Food, and while she was there, she told a funny story.
"So, I was not always Island Chief here in Ohan'ali, no! But I am the daughter of a chief, and the widow of a chief, and when my husband died, I became Elder of Ohan'ali island. Very sad how it happened. See, my husband said he should live in a reed house, woven walls, thatch roof, traditional, cooler in hot weather. But there was a problem. He was a very famous chieftain and, although he lived humbly, had many visitors. And they liked to give gifts."
"Now, food we could eat, clothes we could wear, all fine. But no - they gave him fancy chairs! Big, fancy chieftain chairs. And he only had one backside to sit on, so what to do? He could not throw them away - that would be rude! So, he started putting them up in the storage loft, under the roof, yes? And that is how it happened. One day, he had so many big, heavy, fancy chairs up under the thatch, that the bamboo holding up the ceiling gave way! The whole thing came down, and all the chairs too, and crushed him to death."
"And what do we learn from this, eh? What is the moral of this story?"
"People who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones! Hahahah!"
On the positive simming note, I'm just happy that a game like TS4 exists where you can live out your dreams and imaginative scenarios at your heart's content. I remember when one of my pals asked once what the point was of a game you can't win. I told them, the point is the journey. Not tje destination. 💜😇☺️

Screwdriver it. I'm gonna post here anyways. Just dust off the ol' post button because I had a story come to me last night. It's another 2nd World Tale so let's go!
It's been a long while, but 2nd World is still at peace.
"Seriously! I still can't believe I missed all the anti-AI undertones in her writing. Makes me feel so terrible reading her books now."
"Isn't Emma writing a book as sort of a response to A.D. Rockies anyways?"
"She was supposed to. But honestly she hasn't really talked much about it since."
And Julia is still the typical teenager.
"One for the Simstagram...Oh hey! Text from Gramma!"
Upstairs, Emma was deep into her work on the computer, although not for writing.
Peter later went upstairs to talk to his mother, Julia sitting on the bed.
"Hey, Mom?" asked Peter. "Sakura and I were wondering if you were still working on "The Abby Indestructible Journeys" series you said you were thinking of doing."
"Honestly, Peter dear, that has been far from my mind. I've recently been looking into universities."
"Oh!" exclaimed Peter excitedly. "It's great you're helping Julia find a good post-secondary before she graduates then!"
Julia rolled her eyes.
"Get with the times, Pops. I'm not going to uni until I work a year. Gramma is the one going. She wanted me to help her write up her application essay."
Peter stumbled over his words.
"As...As in to teach?!"
"As in to study, Peter," said Emma. "I haven't been finding the fulfillment I've wanted through writing and looking at any available jobs, they just seem dry and boring. So I'm looking into universities to get a degree."
"Yeah but those can take a while, Mom?"
"Peter. Julia is a teenager now and will soon be finished school. I'm not staying around here as a babysitter."
"It's not that, Mom!" said Peter. "It's...Well..."
Emma chuckled.
"Go on, dear. Say it."
"C'mon Pops," Julia teased. "Gramma can take it."
"Well...You're not...You're not exactly young anymore...And...Well...I'd miss you."
Emma and Peter went to sit on the bed.
"Would you seriously miss me that much?"
"I probably would! I know you deserve to be happy and if you want to go to university, then I hope it works out but at the same time...Not being able to see you reminds me that I may never see you forever...Like Dad..."
Emma took Peter up into a loving hug.
"Dearie...I'll be home weekends and holidays! I can't spend all my time at university."
"That's true."
"And if things became that serious, I'd be home anyway. I'm not dying alone in a dorm room or some hospital bed. Right now though, I'm fit as a fiddle and so long as I can get accepted, I'm going to Britechester."
Satisfied with his mother's response, Peter smiled.
"Isn't that the school Dad went to?"
"Of course! I looked at some other schools, but my hopes are for Britechester. Your father excelled at his nautical science courses there and was Captain of the Debate Club. Don't expect me to do the same. I'm looking more into History I think. Either that or Art History."
Peter chuckled.
"Well now you got me convinced. And if you can do that, maybe you can convince a certain someone else in this house to go as well."
"Pops...I've already said..." interjected Julia.
"I don't think he means you, sweetheart," said Emma. "I think he means your father."
"Yeah..." said Peter. "It's been a long while now and I've tried talking to him a couple times...Offhandedly of course. But if you're going back to school, maybe you can convince Sakura to go with you. If he gets in of course."
Julia rolled her eyes once more.
"Good luck with that! From what I heard, you'd be lucky to get Dad close to even a lecture hall..."
"Lecture hall?" Sakura said as he entered the room. "Why? Are you finally deciding on a university, Julia?"
"No, dear Sakura, I am," said Emma with a smile. "And Peter and I were discussing about you maybe joining me. You never did finish your art diploma after, did you?"
Sakura chuckled.
"Well...You don't need a diploma to paint."
"I know, dear. But Britechester has a few good courses in Art History and even Fine Art that could help you with more techniques. And if you went as well, we could even be in same class."
Sakura gave a forced grin.
"Sure...Ah Peter? Can we talk in my studio?"
As everyone left, Milo came up to say hi.
"Oh Milo! I wish I could take you! But the dorms don't allow pets. And I think Julia and especially Peter, will need you stay here."
Downstairs, Sakura's brow narrowed and body seethed as he spoke with his husband.
"Peter are you off your proverbial rocking horse?"
Peter raised a confident brow.
"About what?"
"You know very well what!"
"You remember why I don't do colleges. I am quite fine painting on my own without a degree to back it up!"
"Oh hey Milo," said Peter as the cat walked into the room.
"Peter are you even listening to me?"
"Hang on, Milo. I'm talking with Sakura, okay?"
Peter then returned to Sakura, this time leaving the teasing aside and becoming serious.
"I do know what happened, but that was also years ago and things have changed. We know where Hawthorne is and something tells me he can't even afford tuition to elementary school nowadays. And Nick has completely changed. And I doubt you'll run into anyone from New Island College at Britechester."
"I don't care about Hawthorne or Nick or anyone from back then. It's not them I'm afraid of!"
"Then...What's the problem?" asked Peter.
"The problem is you trying to force me to go to post-secondary and having everyone find out that I essentially flunked out of college!" Sakura finally blurted out. "If Hawthorne and the others were bad, I can only imagine what a bunch of stuck up university students are going to think! I don't want to go back to worrying about every step I take!"
Sakura's lip trembled, annoyance becoming shame as he held back tears.
Peter carefully approached.
"But Love...You...You didn't flunk out. You were bullied and pushed to your limit. Hawthorne and them forced you to quit! There's no need to be ashamed of that!"
"You know that, Peter...But if anyone else were to find out..."
"I have my doubts they would find out. And if anyone did...I'm quite sure they would see it for what it was: abuse. You're a smart, wonderful man. I am sorry if I pressured you, but I do think you would benefit from finishing your education. Haven't you ever wanted to?"
Sakura gave a rheumy-eyed nod.
"Y...Yeah...I just...You know..."
"I do know," said Peter, "Which is why I think you should go. And this time you won't be alone, don't forget. If both of you are accepted, Mom will be around if you ever need anything. And I'm just a phone call away."
Sakura gave a firm nod, blinking away excess tears.
"Okay. I'll go up and...and fill out an application."
"You're gonna do great," said Peter. "Don't let fear of the past hold you back."
Next post, Sakura isn't the only one going back to Post-Secondary along with Emma.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
Maybe I should just post in a story thread, but this makes me happy, so.
Even if my sims may not be...lol
At the other Williams' household, Malinda had aged up to a teen and had become quite the rebellious adolescent, her choices sometimes clashing with her step-mother.
"I don't see why you're siding with Malinda on this, Brody!' protested Opera.
"What?" said Brody. "It's a tattoo. Long as me or you is with her and the place is sterile, it should all be fine."
"She's too young for a tattoo! That is something you have permanently on your body!"
"So are scars. At least this one she's choosing."
"You tell her, Dad!"
"If you're that intent on a tattoo, Malinda, why not something like a washable tattoo? Like those markers we bought for Luna here."
"Because Luna is a kid. Duh!"
"Mmmph...So wait, Mom? I can have a tattoo someday?"
"Maybe when you're older, Luna."
Brody swallowed the rest of his meal.
"Ah...Luna? Can you go to your room for a bit? I need to talk to your Mom and big Sis."
After finishing her supper, Luna bounced off to her room to play on the crafts table, Tucker following behind much like he had done ever since she was a toddler.
Claire entered the room to ask about going to visit Max when she heard the tirade.
"Well DURIAN PLUM YOU TOO!" Malinda screeched. "You are always putting Luna before me! All because she's your kid! PLUCK YOU!! I DIDN'T ASK TO BE BORN YOU KNOW! I DIDN'T ASK FOR A PEACH OF AN ALIEN MOTHER!!
Claire cleared her throat.
"Okay then...I'll wait until tomorrow to visit Max."
"Probably for the best," commented Brody. "There's a thunderstorm out there at the moment."
After Claire left, Brody sat down to try and calm the situation.
"Hey...Ah...How about we wait a bit on the situation, okay? Maybe look into the tattoo around Christmas or something?"
"Maybe," said Opera. "But until then I shouldn't see one speck of permanent ink, Malinda. It was already bad enough that you went behind my back and got your brow pierced again."
"It's my body!" said Malinda. "Why should it matter to you?!"
"Because if you get it done at a sketchy place...Mmph..." said Brody. "You could get an infection."
"And you did it right when I said 'no'. You want to be taken seriously don't you?"
"I'm a plum pickin' teenager!" Malinda griped. "And get with the times! No cafe is going to turn me down for piercing or even a tattoo. At least Dad is smart about this stuff! How come he got to be goth and I can't, huh?"
"Because I'm not Emma, Malinda."
"You definitely aren't. Even Gramma would be more understanding!"
Feeling the hostility, Brody excused himself to put away his plate. Walking from the kitchen, he found Tucker.
"Hey boy! Luna finally safe I take it?"
Opera passed by Brody petting Tucker, knowing that her husband must have been stressed. Even after so long, Brody would only really pet Tucker as much as he was if he was overwhelmed. And with Malinda and herself clashing heads, she sometimes wondered if maybe she should listen to Brody's thoughts on the situations more.
Tucker and Brody moved to the couch.
"You a good boy! Yes you are!"
Brody then sighed.
"You have any advice, boy? I know you're smart, but sadly can't speak Simlish."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Babe can you get that?" asked Brody.
"I got it."
"Oh Levono!" said Opera as she went out to greet the evening guest. "What a surprise!"
"Well I was passing by and I wanted to speak with Brody."
"He's inside if you want to talk to him." Opera then shouted as she opened the door. "Brody! It's for you."
"Levono, man!" Brody said excitely, hugging the guardian parent of his youngest daughter. "Haven't seen you since Malinda's birthday! How've ya been?"
"Excellent, my boy!" Levono said with a bellowed laugh.
"Didn't come by to part some wisdom about living to teenagers, did you?" said Brody in a half comical tone.
"Ahaha...Not really. Just remember that some things are beyond a teenager's control. We've all been there, even AI teens," said Levono.
"I actually came by to tell you to tell your mother Emma congratulations on applying for university," explained Levono. "And somehow she even got Sakura on board as well."
"She did?" said Brody with surprise. "Yeesh I didn't even think Sakura would want to even look at an application again from what he told me happened. Good for him."
"Well it's a good time for it too," said Levono. "Nova and Nividia themselves are even looking into post-secondary. We're planning a trip to Britechester later on if Nividia gets in and I was wondering if you wanted to come along."
"Oh? Ya sure?"
"Sure! Why not? You haven't been away on a trip in a long while I'm sure."
"I'd love to, man," said Brody. "But I got responsibilities here. Opera works and someone still needs to be here for Tucker and Luna. Heck even Malinda."
"I heard that, Dad."
"Love you, sweetie!" said Brody before returning to Levono. "Maybe some other time."
"Brody! Levono! It's getting late," Opera announced. "And I have to turn on the alarms."
"Okay, babe!"
"Guess I should get going then," said Levono. "Sorry to hear you can't join us on the road trip."
"Maybe later on the season," said Brody. "Like during Winter Break when you guys go to the cabin?"
"Sure then. Have a good night!"
"See ya!" Brody waved Levono behind before the doors were locked for the night.
Next post (to follow this one), Opera finds out why Brody never went to post-secondary.
[
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
Last post, Brody tried to deal with the stress of a rebellious teenager. This time though, it's Opera addressing his own rebellious behaviour
"Did I hear Levono correctly?" said Opera. "Your mom and Sakura are going to university?"
"Sounds like it," said Brody. "Although I'd say they may be still waiting on the application process. That can take a while."
"That's still wonderful! Especially for Sakura after having worked with him for so long! This is excellent news!"
"Yeah definitely."
Opera paused in a moment of thought.
"After all this time married to you," she said. "I don't I ever did ask about your post-secondary."
Brody paused himself.
"Ahh...Well...I didn't go...But I mean ya didn't marry me for my educational background..."
"I know...But you know I did many online courses for my work. Have you ever thought about university?"
"Ah...Nah..." said Brody. "I mean it's too expensive, ya know? Tuition could just eat a chunk out of our bank account."
"Brody...I make enough money now that I could buy us a second house. Tuition is nothing, especially the cheap application fees now. You could easily apply."
Opera noticed Brody tensing up more than usual, fists clenched as he seemed to be put on the spot.
"But....But like I told Levono...Someone needs to be here for the kids and Tucker."
"Claire and even Malinda are quite old enough to be on their own now with Luna and the dog," said Opera. "There's nothing really stopping you besides the Administration Board at the universities. Is something wrong? You're not afraid of being alone are you?"
"No...No...I...I...I just can't..." he finally said before swiftly turning to the living room to watch TV.
Opera followed him, glancing at the TV.
"Now I know there's something wrong," said Opera. "Because you never watch public access."
"Well...Ya know...Sometimes it's good..." said Brody.
"If you count the odd puppet show," Opera added, turning off the screen and sitting down.
"Aw c'mon, babe!" said Brody.
"I'd say the same to you," said Opera. "You sounded stressed. What's wrong?"
"N...Nothing..." exclaimed Brody, failing to fib. "I'm just...still a bit worked up from the fight between you and Malinda."
"You seemed calmer with Levono until he mentioned the trip to Britechester," said Opera. "And then you became even more evasive. Does it have to do with the university there? Is there a reason why you can't go?"
Brody covered his face, shivering.
"I...I literally can't..."
"Because of trauma?"
"Because I'm a blobbrain!" Brody blurted out, continuing to hide his face. "I...I flunked!"
"Out of university?" asked Opera.
"No...High school.." choked Brody. "I...flunked...out of high school."
Opera was taken aback for a moment.
"Oh Brody..."
Brody kept his head low, blinking off welling up tears.
"It...It wasn't that I didn't try..." he said. "But I...I just couldn't get it. I...I passed Literature sure but...aside from the other work they had me for gym class...I flunked at everything else. M...Mom and Dad were so upset that day and...and it's embarrassing!!"
"Is that why you were rebellious as a teenager?" asked Opera.
"No, no. I just had friends that I hung around with and that was our style. Mom was fine with it. Dad was okay. They didn't even distract from homework. But no matter how much I studied...doing things like Math or History or...even Science just never clicked right. It's like Dad said...I have low intelligence."
"What were your worst subjects?" Opera asked, Brody caught off guard a bit.
"Umm...Math mostly...Science was harder once they tossed more numbers in there. History was okay at some parts. But I had trouble putting all the dates in order. I remembered them but once I wrote it down it just looked wrong. I did fine with the gym supplement work except for measurements of stuff like goal posts and estimating things like field lines. Like I said...I'm an idiot."
"Brody," Opera said kindly. "That's not low intelligence. That's called a learning disorder."
"A what?"
Ohhh boy! Thunder just hit the satellite dish. Hope it survived.
"A learning disorder," Opera explained. "A cognitive issue with your brain. From the sounds of it, you have a clear case of Dyscalculia."
"Mind explaining that one to us of the blobbrain?" said Brody.
"You're not a blobbrain," Opera laughed. "You have issues with numbers and arithmetic. It's similar to Dyslexia in that your brain may see numbers on a page and not process them in the right order. Issues with measurement and estimation are a sign as well. Signals get mixed up and your brain makes you fumble."
"Then why didn't my folks test me on that?" asked Brody.
"It isn't very common and it probably didn't cross their minds," explained Opera. "And back then...well...mental and cognitive health weren't addressed as well as it is today."
“So I’m not a blobbrain, but my brain doesn’t want to work with numbers right…” Brody sighed. “I still don’t see how I can go to university with it.”
“Universities have programs that can help you and help you work around your learning disorder. And you can apply as a mature student so you won’t need a transcript. I can see about getting you a letter to explain your situation.”
Brody stood, still unsure.
“But what can I study if I have Dyscalu….The Number Disorder?”
“Anything you want!” Opera exclaimed. “But another good thing about university is that you can pick a degree that may not require too much mathematics. What was something you always wanted to study in?”
“Music…But I don’t think there are any degrees for that. Maybe acting?”
“Well you may be able to get both in a way. Britechester has a Drama degree. And if Emma and Sakura get in, then you will have family nearby. It’s a great situation.”
Brody inhaled.
“Okay. I'm gonna try.”
Just as Brody was walking out, Claire came down to watch TV.
“And why aren’t we in bed?”
“Thunderstorm.”
“So did I hear right?” asked Claire. “Dad is applying for university?”
“Yes he is!” said Brody, reading over the Britechester website.
Claire laughed as she turned on “College Cram” (Autonomously. She knows)
“Wonder if Dad can do keg stands?”
“Please, dear,” Opera chuckled. “Don’t encourage him.”
“Dad can hear you!” shouted Brody. “And no, he’s not gonna try.”
Next post, the results of the applications.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
Okay. I'm trying a new place to post this and hoping it works
I was gonna wait for the results of everyone's applications, but I had something that I've never encountered before: Sick Pet!
I thought at first that maybe Tucker peed in the house, but then we saw the drool and flies. Granted, he probably did pee, but it wasn't because he could control it.
"Tucker...What's wrong, boy?"
"Ugh...Tucker, you smell horrible!"
Even when sick, Tucker is obsessed with the shower.
Brody chuckled as he came into the kitchen.
"Did we miss an 'out' for Tucker?"
"No, babe," said Opera. "Tucker is sick and you're going to have to take him to the vet. I have work and the kids have school."
"Wait, what? Tucker is...Where is he?"
"Well, from the barking, I'd say the bathroom."
Brody turned from his playful mood to serious when he saw the poor pooch.
"Oh man...This ain't right, is it Boy...Well, as much as I don't like 'em either, we gotta get you to a doctor..."
A vet luckily had opened up in Newcrest, replacing the old bakery after it had closed down. Outside, Brody knelt down to pet Tucker.
"Look, Boy. I know the vet is scary. Plum I'm scared of human doctors myself. But they have your best intention, okay? They want you to be healthy. So let's get you better, okay?"
Despite his putrid look, Tucker was still a hit amongst the vet staff.
"Hey doggie. Oh poor baby is all drooly!"
Brody registered Tucker in for treatment.
Tucker is a smart boy and walked himself in to the vet's office when it was his turn.
"Now then. Let's say what's wrong with puppers, hm?"
Tucker was a good boy throughout.
"Looks like Repugnitis. Looks like your owner has insurance so let's get you that shot and get you all better!"
I totally forgot that I gave Jasmine 3 dogs. This is Sir Lawrence Taptoes III, whose toes were apparently on fire.
Brody eventually came in to pick up Tucker.
"There's my boy! Tucker!! You're looking alot better."
And like before, everyone wanted to say hi to Tucker.
And we celebrated with a good swim!

@miloek Yup She's happy now
And so, Laptop Beta is wiped and destroyed
Rebecca watched as the erasing light came towards her.
"He did it!' she said happily, reaching her arms wide. "It's finally over, Nana. Harvey and them are safe now!"
The light soon took Rebecca with it, the AI dispersing into dust.

Off in a new, fresh file, Viper was getting to know the locals around Sulani, the temporary home of Ohm and himself and the permanent home of Harvey and his family.
"Is the sunshade helping any bit?" asked Paddi as Harvey was trying to get out of the blazing rays.
Harvey shook his head.
"Sadly, no. It's still sizzling my skin. I'm going over to the gazebo to see if that shade may help."
"Auntie Ohm!" a girl on the beach shouted. "Help me build my sand sculpture for the beach contest!"
The redhead AI giggled.
"Hang on now...Okay, let's see..."
"I wanna beat Uncle Viper and that guy!" the little one laughed.
"Well, we're gonna need a bit more sand!"
Paddi came over, about to help when she found a disturbance in the sand.
"Oh! What's this?"
"Ouch!" Paddi exclaimed as the a crab bit her finger, all while Ohm and the child finished the sand sculpture.
"Yee! It's great!"
Viper and his friend soon came over, Viper kissing his wife on the cheek.
"Mommy?" the girl asked Paddi. "Can I go hang out with Dad?"
Paddi waved her off.
"Go ahead, Becky. He's over at the gazebo."
Becky bounded over to the picnic table where her father was sitting under the shade, doing something on his phone.
Becky giggled.
"Heehee, Daddy guess what?"
"Hm? Oh sorry Beccaboo. I'm sending a message to our new Spellcaster AIs. They're supposed to be doing some training with your mother and the other new AIs soon and I need to get forms ready for it in case someone overcharges or something. Really boring stuff."
"Then why do it if it's boring?" Becky laughed.
Harvey gave a chuckling sigh.
"Because sometimes you need to do boring work to get to the fun stuff."
"Well can you make the boring stuff fun? I think things would go a lot faster if it were fun."
"If that's the case then, how come your homework is rarely done?" asked Harvey in a teasing manner.
"Because that's part of my job as your daughter. I gotta keep you on your toes."
Harvey suddenly started laughing hard, Becky looking with a raised brow.
"Dad? Are you okay?"
Harvey soon regained his composure.
"Oh my, Becky. I'm...I'm okay. You just reminded me of a family member from long ago."
"Auntie Becca?" asked Becky.
Harvey smiled, bringing his daughter close.
"Yeah. She would say such things when we were younger to her own Gramma. Except it was usually over cleaning her room."
Becky hugged into her father.
"Haha! She sounds like she would have been fun to have around."
Harvey chuckled.
"She would have been, yes."
"But you remind so much of her," added Harvey. "You're fun, rebellious, and loving."
Becky smiled back.
"You and Mom taught me that though, Dad. Did she teach you that too?"
Harvey sighed, holding Becky close.
"I don't know about the rebellious part, but she did teach me how far one will go for their family...And were it not for her, you wouldn't have existed."
"Really? She sounds like she was awesome."
"She was, Becky. She was awesome."
And thus Laptop Beta will move to Laptop Alpha in future tales. Next time though, I finally go back to roots.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess

@Ellupelluellu
Kiitti. Another Finn, I see.
Let's see if I can write his name like this: B.o.b.o.
In my game Sofia Bjergsen moved to Del Sol Valley in hopes of becoming a celebrity. I had an idea that maybe she could date Kayla Flemming, since Sofia needed something to do, she has the brushes with fame quirck and I had pondered what I would do with Kayla and whether I wanted to keep her in my game at all.
So I sent Sofia to the gym and it did not take long for Kayla to show up. She was angry and hopped on the treadmill. I made Sofia join her.
Yet they would not really talk to each other, so Sofia asked Kayla to mentor her.
And kept eyeing her like this
Makoa tried to come take a picture with Sofia and after a couple of tries she finally gave in. Meanwhile Kayla was about to head off.
Sofia quickly caught her up and...
despite of another fan of her staring them like this
Kayla seemed to like Sofia
They hung out later together and I'm just so happy about how well they seem to get along! I also noticed that Kayla is actually very pretty.
"So, I was not always Island Chief here in Ohan'ali, no! But I am the daughter of a chief, and the widow of a chief, and when my husband died, I became Elder of Ohan'ali island. Very sad how it happened. See, my husband said he should live in a reed house, woven walls, thatch roof, traditional, cooler in hot weather. But there was a problem. He was a very famous chieftain and, although he lived humbly, had many visitors. And they liked to give gifts."
"Now, food we could eat, clothes we could wear, all fine. But no - they gave him fancy chairs! Big, fancy chieftain chairs. And he only had one backside to sit on, so what to do? He could not throw them away - that would be rude! So, he started putting them up in the storage loft, under the roof, yes? And that is how it happened. One day, he had so many big, heavy, fancy chairs up under the thatch, that the bamboo holding up the ceiling gave way! The whole thing came down, and all the chairs too, and crushed him to death."
"And what do we learn from this, eh? What is the moral of this story?"
"People who live in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones! Hahahah!"
Definitely agree. 😊
Screwdriver it. I'm gonna post here anyways. Just dust off the ol' post button because I had a story come to me last night. It's another 2nd World Tale so let's go!
It's been a long while, but 2nd World is still at peace.
"Seriously! I still can't believe I missed all the anti-AI undertones in her writing. Makes me feel so terrible reading her books now."
"Isn't Emma writing a book as sort of a response to A.D. Rockies anyways?"
"She was supposed to. But honestly she hasn't really talked much about it since."
And Julia is still the typical teenager.
"One for the Simstagram...Oh hey! Text from Gramma!"
Upstairs, Emma was deep into her work on the computer, although not for writing.
Peter later went upstairs to talk to his mother, Julia sitting on the bed.
"Hey, Mom?" asked Peter. "Sakura and I were wondering if you were still working on "The Abby Indestructible Journeys" series you said you were thinking of doing."
"Honestly, Peter dear, that has been far from my mind. I've recently been looking into universities."
"Oh!" exclaimed Peter excitedly. "It's great you're helping Julia find a good post-secondary before she graduates then!"
Julia rolled her eyes.
"Get with the times, Pops. I'm not going to uni until I work a year. Gramma is the one going. She wanted me to help her write up her application essay."
Peter stumbled over his words.
"As...As in to teach?!"
"As in to study, Peter," said Emma. "I haven't been finding the fulfillment I've wanted through writing and looking at any available jobs, they just seem dry and boring. So I'm looking into universities to get a degree."
"Yeah but those can take a while, Mom?"
"Peter. Julia is a teenager now and will soon be finished school. I'm not staying around here as a babysitter."
"It's not that, Mom!" said Peter. "It's...Well..."
Emma chuckled.
"Go on, dear. Say it."
"C'mon Pops," Julia teased. "Gramma can take it."
"Well...You're not...You're not exactly young anymore...And...Well...I'd miss you."
Emma and Peter went to sit on the bed.
"Would you seriously miss me that much?"
"I probably would! I know you deserve to be happy and if you want to go to university, then I hope it works out but at the same time...Not being able to see you reminds me that I may never see you forever...Like Dad..."
Emma took Peter up into a loving hug.
"Dearie...I'll be home weekends and holidays! I can't spend all my time at university."
"That's true."
"And if things became that serious, I'd be home anyway. I'm not dying alone in a dorm room or some hospital bed. Right now though, I'm fit as a fiddle and so long as I can get accepted, I'm going to Britechester."
Satisfied with his mother's response, Peter smiled.
"Isn't that the school Dad went to?"
"Of course! I looked at some other schools, but my hopes are for Britechester. Your father excelled at his nautical science courses there and was Captain of the Debate Club. Don't expect me to do the same. I'm looking more into History I think. Either that or Art History."
Peter chuckled.
"Well now you got me convinced. And if you can do that, maybe you can convince a certain someone else in this house to go as well."
"Pops...I've already said..." interjected Julia.
"I don't think he means you, sweetheart," said Emma. "I think he means your father."
"Yeah..." said Peter. "It's been a long while now and I've tried talking to him a couple times...Offhandedly of course. But if you're going back to school, maybe you can convince Sakura to go with you. If he gets in of course."
Julia rolled her eyes once more.
"Good luck with that! From what I heard, you'd be lucky to get Dad close to even a lecture hall..."
"Lecture hall?" Sakura said as he entered the room. "Why? Are you finally deciding on a university, Julia?"
"No, dear Sakura, I am," said Emma with a smile. "And Peter and I were discussing about you maybe joining me. You never did finish your art diploma after, did you?"
Sakura chuckled.
"Well...You don't need a diploma to paint."
"I know, dear. But Britechester has a few good courses in Art History and even Fine Art that could help you with more techniques. And if you went as well, we could even be in same class."
Sakura gave a forced grin.
"Sure...Ah Peter? Can we talk in my studio?"
As everyone left, Milo came up to say hi.
"Oh Milo! I wish I could take you! But the dorms don't allow pets. And I think Julia and especially Peter, will need you stay here."
Downstairs, Sakura's brow narrowed and body seethed as he spoke with his husband.
"Peter are you off your proverbial rocking horse?"
Peter raised a confident brow.
"About what?"
"You know very well what!"
"You remember why I don't do colleges. I am quite fine painting on my own without a degree to back it up!"
"Oh hey Milo," said Peter as the cat walked into the room.
"Peter are you even listening to me?"
"Hang on, Milo. I'm talking with Sakura, okay?"
Peter then returned to Sakura, this time leaving the teasing aside and becoming serious.
"I do know what happened, but that was also years ago and things have changed. We know where Hawthorne is and something tells me he can't even afford tuition to elementary school nowadays. And Nick has completely changed. And I doubt you'll run into anyone from New Island College at Britechester."
"I don't care about Hawthorne or Nick or anyone from back then. It's not them I'm afraid of!"
"Then...What's the problem?" asked Peter.
"The problem is you trying to force me to go to post-secondary and having everyone find out that I essentially flunked out of college!" Sakura finally blurted out. "If Hawthorne and the others were bad, I can only imagine what a bunch of stuck up university students are going to think! I don't want to go back to worrying about every step I take!"
Sakura's lip trembled, annoyance becoming shame as he held back tears.
Peter carefully approached.
"But Love...You...You didn't flunk out. You were bullied and pushed to your limit. Hawthorne and them forced you to quit! There's no need to be ashamed of that!"
"You know that, Peter...But if anyone else were to find out..."
"I have my doubts they would find out. And if anyone did...I'm quite sure they would see it for what it was: abuse. You're a smart, wonderful man. I am sorry if I pressured you, but I do think you would benefit from finishing your education. Haven't you ever wanted to?"
Sakura gave a rheumy-eyed nod.
"Y...Yeah...I just...You know..."
"I do know," said Peter, "Which is why I think you should go. And this time you won't be alone, don't forget. If both of you are accepted, Mom will be around if you ever need anything. And I'm just a phone call away."
Sakura gave a firm nod, blinking away excess tears.
"Okay. I'll go up and...and fill out an application."
"You're gonna do great," said Peter. "Don't let fear of the past hold you back."
Next post, Sakura isn't the only one going back to Post-Secondary along with Emma.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess

Even if my sims may not be...lol
At the other Williams' household, Malinda had aged up to a teen and had become quite the rebellious adolescent, her choices sometimes clashing with her step-mother.
"I don't see why you're siding with Malinda on this, Brody!' protested Opera.
"What?" said Brody. "It's a tattoo. Long as me or you is with her and the place is sterile, it should all be fine."
"She's too young for a tattoo! That is something you have permanently on your body!"
"So are scars. At least this one she's choosing."
"You tell her, Dad!"
"If you're that intent on a tattoo, Malinda, why not something like a washable tattoo? Like those markers we bought for Luna here."
"Because Luna is a kid. Duh!"
"Mmmph...So wait, Mom? I can have a tattoo someday?"
"Maybe when you're older, Luna."
Brody swallowed the rest of his meal.
"Ah...Luna? Can you go to your room for a bit? I need to talk to your Mom and big Sis."
After finishing her supper, Luna bounced off to her room to play on the crafts table, Tucker following behind much like he had done ever since she was a toddler.
Claire entered the room to ask about going to visit Max when she heard the tirade.
"Well DURIAN PLUM YOU TOO!" Malinda screeched. "You are always putting Luna before me! All because she's your kid! PLUCK YOU!! I DIDN'T ASK TO BE BORN YOU KNOW! I DIDN'T ASK FOR A PEACH OF AN ALIEN MOTHER!!
Claire cleared her throat.
"Okay then...I'll wait until tomorrow to visit Max."
"Probably for the best," commented Brody. "There's a thunderstorm out there at the moment."
After Claire left, Brody sat down to try and calm the situation.
"Hey...Ah...How about we wait a bit on the situation, okay? Maybe look into the tattoo around Christmas or something?"
"Maybe," said Opera. "But until then I shouldn't see one speck of permanent ink, Malinda. It was already bad enough that you went behind my back and got your brow pierced again."
"It's my body!" said Malinda. "Why should it matter to you?!"
"Because if you get it done at a sketchy place...Mmph..." said Brody. "You could get an infection."
"And you did it right when I said 'no'. You want to be taken seriously don't you?"
"I'm a plum pickin' teenager!" Malinda griped. "And get with the times! No cafe is going to turn me down for piercing or even a tattoo. At least Dad is smart about this stuff! How come he got to be goth and I can't, huh?"
"Because I'm not Emma, Malinda."
"You definitely aren't. Even Gramma would be more understanding!"
Feeling the hostility, Brody excused himself to put away his plate. Walking from the kitchen, he found Tucker.
"Hey boy! Luna finally safe I take it?"
Opera passed by Brody petting Tucker, knowing that her husband must have been stressed. Even after so long, Brody would only really pet Tucker as much as he was if he was overwhelmed. And with Malinda and herself clashing heads, she sometimes wondered if maybe she should listen to Brody's thoughts on the situations more.
Tucker and Brody moved to the couch.
"You a good boy! Yes you are!"
Brody then sighed.
"You have any advice, boy? I know you're smart, but sadly can't speak Simlish."
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Babe can you get that?" asked Brody.
"I got it."
"Oh Levono!" said Opera as she went out to greet the evening guest. "What a surprise!"
"Well I was passing by and I wanted to speak with Brody."
"He's inside if you want to talk to him." Opera then shouted as she opened the door. "Brody! It's for you."
"Levono, man!" Brody said excitely, hugging the guardian parent of his youngest daughter. "Haven't seen you since Malinda's birthday! How've ya been?"
"Excellent, my boy!" Levono said with a bellowed laugh.
"Didn't come by to part some wisdom about living to teenagers, did you?" said Brody in a half comical tone.
"Ahaha...Not really. Just remember that some things are beyond a teenager's control. We've all been there, even AI teens," said Levono.
"I actually came by to tell you to tell your mother Emma congratulations on applying for university," explained Levono. "And somehow she even got Sakura on board as well."
"She did?" said Brody with surprise. "Yeesh I didn't even think Sakura would want to even look at an application again from what he told me happened. Good for him."
"Well it's a good time for it too," said Levono. "Nova and Nividia themselves are even looking into post-secondary. We're planning a trip to Britechester later on if Nividia gets in and I was wondering if you wanted to come along."
"Oh? Ya sure?"
"Sure! Why not? You haven't been away on a trip in a long while I'm sure."
"I'd love to, man," said Brody. "But I got responsibilities here. Opera works and someone still needs to be here for Tucker and Luna. Heck even Malinda."
"I heard that, Dad."
"Love you, sweetie!" said Brody before returning to Levono. "Maybe some other time."
"Brody! Levono! It's getting late," Opera announced. "And I have to turn on the alarms."
"Okay, babe!"
"Guess I should get going then," said Levono. "Sorry to hear you can't join us on the road trip."
"Maybe later on the season," said Brody. "Like during Winter Break when you guys go to the cabin?"
"Sure then. Have a good night!"
"See ya!" Brody waved Levono behind before the doors were locked for the night.
Next post (to follow this one), Opera finds out why Brody never went to post-secondary.
[
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
"Did I hear Levono correctly?" said Opera. "Your mom and Sakura are going to university?"
"Sounds like it," said Brody. "Although I'd say they may be still waiting on the application process. That can take a while."
"That's still wonderful! Especially for Sakura after having worked with him for so long! This is excellent news!"
"Yeah definitely."
Opera paused in a moment of thought.
"After all this time married to you," she said. "I don't I ever did ask about your post-secondary."
Brody paused himself.
"Ahh...Well...I didn't go...But I mean ya didn't marry me for my educational background..."
"I know...But you know I did many online courses for my work. Have you ever thought about university?"
"Ah...Nah..." said Brody. "I mean it's too expensive, ya know? Tuition could just eat a chunk out of our bank account."
"Brody...I make enough money now that I could buy us a second house. Tuition is nothing, especially the cheap application fees now. You could easily apply."
Opera noticed Brody tensing up more than usual, fists clenched as he seemed to be put on the spot.
"But....But like I told Levono...Someone needs to be here for the kids and Tucker."
"Claire and even Malinda are quite old enough to be on their own now with Luna and the dog," said Opera. "There's nothing really stopping you besides the Administration Board at the universities. Is something wrong? You're not afraid of being alone are you?"
"No...No...I...I...I just can't..." he finally said before swiftly turning to the living room to watch TV.
Opera followed him, glancing at the TV.
"Now I know there's something wrong," said Opera. "Because you never watch public access."
"Well...Ya know...Sometimes it's good..." said Brody.
"If you count the odd puppet show," Opera added, turning off the screen and sitting down.
"Aw c'mon, babe!" said Brody.
"I'd say the same to you," said Opera. "You sounded stressed. What's wrong?"
"N...Nothing..." exclaimed Brody, failing to fib. "I'm just...still a bit worked up from the fight between you and Malinda."
"You seemed calmer with Levono until he mentioned the trip to Britechester," said Opera. "And then you became even more evasive. Does it have to do with the university there? Is there a reason why you can't go?"
Brody covered his face, shivering.
"I...I literally can't..."
"Because of trauma?"
"Because I'm a blobbrain!" Brody blurted out, continuing to hide his face. "I...I flunked!"
"Out of university?" asked Opera.
"No...High school.." choked Brody. "I...flunked...out of high school."
Opera was taken aback for a moment.
"Oh Brody..."
Brody kept his head low, blinking off welling up tears.
"It...It wasn't that I didn't try..." he said. "But I...I just couldn't get it. I...I passed Literature sure but...aside from the other work they had me for gym class...I flunked at everything else. M...Mom and Dad were so upset that day and...and it's embarrassing!!"
"Is that why you were rebellious as a teenager?" asked Opera.
"No, no. I just had friends that I hung around with and that was our style. Mom was fine with it. Dad was okay. They didn't even distract from homework. But no matter how much I studied...doing things like Math or History or...even Science just never clicked right. It's like Dad said...I have low intelligence."
"What were your worst subjects?" Opera asked, Brody caught off guard a bit.
"Umm...Math mostly...Science was harder once they tossed more numbers in there. History was okay at some parts. But I had trouble putting all the dates in order. I remembered them but once I wrote it down it just looked wrong. I did fine with the gym supplement work except for measurements of stuff like goal posts and estimating things like field lines. Like I said...I'm an idiot."
"Brody," Opera said kindly. "That's not low intelligence. That's called a learning disorder."
"A what?"
Ohhh boy! Thunder just hit the satellite dish. Hope it survived.
"A learning disorder," Opera explained. "A cognitive issue with your brain. From the sounds of it, you have a clear case of Dyscalculia."
"Mind explaining that one to us of the blobbrain?" said Brody.
"You're not a blobbrain," Opera laughed. "You have issues with numbers and arithmetic. It's similar to Dyslexia in that your brain may see numbers on a page and not process them in the right order. Issues with measurement and estimation are a sign as well. Signals get mixed up and your brain makes you fumble."
"Then why didn't my folks test me on that?" asked Brody.
"It isn't very common and it probably didn't cross their minds," explained Opera. "And back then...well...mental and cognitive health weren't addressed as well as it is today."
“So I’m not a blobbrain, but my brain doesn’t want to work with numbers right…” Brody sighed. “I still don’t see how I can go to university with it.”
“Universities have programs that can help you and help you work around your learning disorder. And you can apply as a mature student so you won’t need a transcript. I can see about getting you a letter to explain your situation.”
Brody stood, still unsure.
“But what can I study if I have Dyscalu….The Number Disorder?”
“Anything you want!” Opera exclaimed. “But another good thing about university is that you can pick a degree that may not require too much mathematics. What was something you always wanted to study in?”
“Music…But I don’t think there are any degrees for that. Maybe acting?”
“Well you may be able to get both in a way. Britechester has a Drama degree. And if Emma and Sakura get in, then you will have family nearby. It’s a great situation.”
Brody inhaled.
“Okay. I'm gonna try.”
Just as Brody was walking out, Claire came down to watch TV.
“And why aren’t we in bed?”
“Thunderstorm.”
“So did I hear right?” asked Claire. “Dad is applying for university?”
“Yes he is!” said Brody, reading over the Britechester website.
Claire laughed as she turned on “College Cram” (Autonomously. She knows)
“Wonder if Dad can do keg stands?”
“Please, dear,” Opera chuckled. “Don’t encourage him.”
“Dad can hear you!” shouted Brody. “And no, he’s not gonna try.”
Next post, the results of the applications.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
I was gonna wait for the results of everyone's applications, but I had something that I've never encountered before: Sick Pet!
I thought at first that maybe Tucker peed in the house, but then we saw the drool and flies. Granted, he probably did pee, but it wasn't because he could control it.
"Tucker...What's wrong, boy?"
"Ugh...Tucker, you smell horrible!"
Even when sick, Tucker is obsessed with the shower.
Brody chuckled as he came into the kitchen.
"Did we miss an 'out' for Tucker?"
"No, babe," said Opera. "Tucker is sick and you're going to have to take him to the vet. I have work and the kids have school."
"Wait, what? Tucker is...Where is he?"
"Well, from the barking, I'd say the bathroom."
Brody turned from his playful mood to serious when he saw the poor pooch.
"Oh man...This ain't right, is it Boy...Well, as much as I don't like 'em either, we gotta get you to a doctor..."
A vet luckily had opened up in Newcrest, replacing the old bakery after it had closed down. Outside, Brody knelt down to pet Tucker.
"Look, Boy. I know the vet is scary. Plum I'm scared of human doctors myself. But they have your best intention, okay? They want you to be healthy. So let's get you better, okay?"
Despite his putrid look, Tucker was still a hit amongst the vet staff.
"Hey doggie. Oh poor baby is all drooly!"
Brody registered Tucker in for treatment.
Tucker is a smart boy and walked himself in to the vet's office when it was his turn.
"Now then. Let's say what's wrong with puppers, hm?"
Tucker was a good boy throughout.
"Looks like Repugnitis. Looks like your owner has insurance so let's get you that shot and get you all better!"
Brody eventually came in to pick up Tucker.
"There's my boy! Tucker!! You're looking alot better."
And like before, everyone wanted to say hi to Tucker.
And we celebrated with a good swim!
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess
