    Entry #22: (Children #33-34)

    This is generally going to be a birthday update! Every time I turn around, someone seems to be celebrating a birthday! I guess that’s the way when one has so many children around :)

    First up, Sunni and Stefanie aged into young adults. Sunni has become very neat, always making sure her bed is made and the toys are put away. She is attempting to make a career out of music; considering how often she was playing the guitar, she should do alright!

    Stefanie has become almost the opposite - not a slob but rebellious. She decided that she was going to become a fisherwoman but I’m not sure how that’s going to work out…
    Screenshot-884_zpsdfarngne.jpg

    As well as looking after our usual children, Paris has asked us to look after his twins too. Dante is a cute little fairy, while M.ollie is simply cute and takes after her father.
    Screenshot-894_zpsjbllkn2y.jpg

    Screenshot-2_zpsnxchku2t.jpg

    We had two new arrivals! Lillian and Michael Riley, who are colourful little fairies. Lillian is very excitable and loves playing the xylophone, while Michael wants to always be running around but keeps falling over!

    Screenshot-891_zpsauri9h6r.jpg

    Then it was time for a massive birthday party! Our triplets were becoming teens, and so were their friends! We had to have the cakes outside so that everyone could fit around them :)
    Screenshot-896_zpstbgid8yn.jpg

    Noble went first. He has become quite the charmer, and has got a part-time job with the police.
    Screenshot-898_zpstu8l85vg.jpg

    Then Constance, who seems to have become more nurturing towards the younger children. She has got an IT apprenticeship even though she doesn’t know if that’s the career she wants. Oh, and her hair has turned red as she's grown older and now it's the same as mine.
    Screenshot-897_zpsin2q4zif.jpg

    Loyal was last of the triplets, and has taken an interest in gardening. However, his athleticism has pushed him towards getting a job at the local stadium. If he wasn't different in colouring to Noble, it wouldn't be easy to tell them apart just by looks; they still look so similar.
    Screenshot-899_zpskyzodmgm.jpg

    Patience’s perfectionist tendencies are making themselves more known now, and she - along with Clarity - have started a new music business apprenticeship at the theatre.
    Screenshot-901_zpsfjcilfj6.jpg

    Clarity is loving her apprenticeship, showing that she really is a natural born performer.
    Screenshot-902_zpskkytpn7h.jpg

    And finally Valiant, who wants to become more charismatic. However he, like Noble, has got a part-time job with the police.
    Screenshot-900_zpssry5gmgm.jpg

    Loyal was straight onto the treadmill, revelling in being allowed to use our athletic equipment now.
    Screenshot-903_zpsktryvcze.jpg

    Chloe, Jaylin and Leilani had a dance recital and did well.
    Screenshot-1010_zpskgidqyhx.jpg

    Jeremy and Terence had a badging ceremony for Scouts.
    Screenshot-1012_zps7sxix4o5.jpg

    A little bit of gossip now :)
    - Reed is dating Melinda Song, who was temporarily at the orphanage when she was a toddler.
    - Marina and Tessa have both been promoted in their respective careers.
    - Stefanie started dating Apollo but then they split up.
    - Bruce Chesterfield has moved towns so Rosie is now without a boyfriend.
    - Riana and Jude are going through a bit of a rough patch.
    - Skye married her high school sweetheart, Marlin Gallardo :)
    - Apple proposed to her boyfriend, Steve Keegan and he said yes!
    - And the biggest news: Faith and Ocean got married!!! My eldest daughter, married *sniff* It’s great news but it means that she’s definitely all grown up now.

    Well, I think that will do for today. Plenty more birthdays next time, plus some more new arrivals :)

    (Slightly shorter update but since I don’t have a lot of material at the moment due to the problems I was having, I’m just spreading things out a bit :)

    I may have had something to do with Rosie’s boyfriend moving away :) I just wanted her to date someone who isn’t an elder, so I deleted him!

    Dante glitched on his first date at the house and no-one came to pick him up. I reset him but when he came back the next day, I couldn’t get the icon to tell me what he needed. He also wouldn’t do anything on his own.

    Both Letizia and Liam wished for grandchildren at the same time, which is how I knew that Faith and Ocean had got married!!

    Stefanie can be downloaded here, while Sunni can be downloaded here.

    Entry #23: (Children #35-36)

    I have big news - as in, a lot! - from the Prom but first, we’ll start off with some birthdays! Hunter and Sasha aged into young adults. Hunter has become more shy, which I suppose matches his loner tendencies, and has decided to become a painter.
    Screenshot-1065b_zpsulzw1vig.jpg

    Sasha seems to brood a lot more but she doesn’t let it affect her new job at the athletics stadium.
    Screenshot-1064b_zpsizf1mrs2.jpg

    Chloe and Terence aged into teens not long after. Chloe has decided that she is really into the supernatural (which I suppose that she would be since she’s a witch), and her love of animals prompted her to work as an assistant in the new veterinary place in town. She also loves playing the guitar and drums. Really, she has a lot of choices for a career later on.
    Screenshot-1062_zpspfmtks1v.jpg

    Screenshot-1066_zpsg2nsotp9.jpg

    Terence has decided he’s never getting married (probably comes from being surrounded by a lot of females!) and has a part-time job in the police force. It’s interesting how many of our children here are helping out there at the moment :)
    Screenshot-1063_zpsffapoodf.jpg

    Paris’ twins, Dante and M.ollie aged into children. They are growing into very nice children. Dante takes after his mother, while M.ollie takes after Paris.
    Screenshot-1068_zpsgprlumor.jpg

    Screenshot-1067_zpsgen3ptwk.jpg

    Jude and Riana’s twins, Florence and Jayson, aged into teens. Unfortunately, Jayson hasn’t turned out well and tends to spend his time hanging out with criminals instead of his family.
    Screenshot-1089_zpsyuexgyd4.jpg

    Screenshot-1090_zps6awbpsmt.jpg

    More birthdays!! Jaylin is showing herself to be a natural born performer, while Jeremy loves helping out with the toddlers. Both of them have got part-time jobs in the theatre.
    Screenshot-1087_zpszioq5twl.jpg

    Screenshot-1088_zpsgksh36xr.jpg

    Michael just loves computers now that he is a child, while Lillian spends a lot of time with the younger children when she's not at the potions table. Michael also loves his soccer :)

    We have two new royals in the family :)
    Screenshot-1091_zpsqxof3hyf.jpg

    We got two new arrivals! Twin girls Irina and Dahlia Higgins. Irina is artistic but clumsy, while Dahlia is a genius and can sleep through anything :)

    Screenshot-1073_zpsknasxghf.jpg

    Alright, now we get to the massive Prom! Thirteen teenagers went from here, which meant there was a lot of gossip when they came home :) For those who can’t keep track, the ones that went were: Dusty, Peppermint, Candy, Valiant, Patience, Noble, Loyal, Constance, Clarity, Chloe, Terence, Jeremy and Jaylin.

    I think I’d better summarise things!
    - Senior Prom Queen was Constance, while Jeremy was Junior Prom King.

    Fights: (Eleven!!!)
    - Patience, over the same outfit, and then another fight later on
    - Terence, when the loser of the dance battle got mad; he also started a second fight later, and then a third one when he checked someone else’s date out
    - Jaylin started a fight because someone stood on her foot and didn’t apologise
    - Clarity got into a fight over a dress
    - Dusty started a fight too
    - Candy asked a loner classmate of hers to dance and he threw a drink at her
    - Noble saw someone trying to hit on his crush and started a fight
    - Jeremy got into a fight over another boy wearing the same suit as him

    Rejections: (Eleven)
    - Valiant and Noble asked the most popular guy in school to dance but were refused (they won’t tell me whether this was a dare or for real)
    - Candy got rejected
    - Constance’s crush ignored her after showing up with a date
    - Noble’s crush avoided him
    - Dusty and Noble were denied for a dance
    - Patience’s crush turned up with a date
    - Valiant’s crush ignored him
    - Chloe asked the same popular guy to dance and he laughed at her, then her crush avoided her all evening
    - Jaylin’s crush ignored her

    Romances: (Six, or technically nine, since three involved two people from here)
    - Noble impressed Isabel Bender with his dancing
    - Clarity kept getting Loyal drinks
    - Jaylin impressed Valiant with her dancing
    - Evan Maier revealed he likes Patience a lot
    - Candy and Terence were inseparable
    - Leila Beyer revealed she likes Peppermint

    Others:
    - Jaylin, Chloe, Peppermint, Noble, Dusty loved the dance
    - Peppermint, Valiant, Terence and Loyal tore up the dance floor
    - Patience and Terence fell over

    So, basically our teens got into a lot of fights, got rejected a lot (well, if they are going to fight!!) but some of them had a good time and even found a little romance :) I wonder how many of those romances are going to last?

    Leilani aged into a teen just after the Prom. She has decided already on a career in science so we enrolled her in a high school that has a specialised science program.
    Screenshot-1101_zpstfhgtwow.jpg

    And that’s where I’ll leave it for today!! But in the next update, there will be some major changes :)

    (Aaannnddd this is where things got really bad in the save. I couldn’t get most of the household to click on anyone outside the household, which meant that I couldn’t get Peppermint together with his love interest. So I had to pack everyone up and move to a new town, which will be in the next update!

    M.ollie glitched aging up - as in, she wouldn’t - so it took some sorting out before she eventually turned into a child!!

    Hunter’s download is here and Sasha’s is here.

    SP was sending the teens to different schools as I have a mod installed that allows them to attend art, military, culinary, entrepreneur and science schools. So I decided that I would allow my sims to do the same. Leilani went to the science one; Jaylin, Jeremy, Chloe, Clarity and Patient went to the arts; Constance went to the entrepreneur one; and Terence, Loyal, Noble and Valiant went to the military one. If the kids have a trait or a wish in any of those areas, I’ll enroll them in those schools.

    It was in this update that Liam was finally abducted by aliens!! I was so excited! First time, and he got pregnant straight away!!!! Unfortunately, he lost the baby when I took the household out in Edit Town, without thinking about the consequences :( So I’ll try again in the next generation. But here's proof that he was pregnant:

    Skills: Jaylin - painting; Terence - writing.

    @MayaRose1138 It's always possible to replace the pregnancy with NRAAS should it not work next time... :3 I'd be alright with that. Not sure about other simmers, but... Whatever!

    I did consider that but then I decided since the household was full already (waaaaay full!), that I would just leave it and try again in the next generation. That way, I would get to play the alien without having to kick him/her out when Constance takes over :)

    Entry #24: (Children #37-38)

    So, I mentioned in the last update about major changes. Well, this is it: we moved to Lucky Palms! Unfortunately, the Aurora Skies orphanage was shut down but we have all been shifted to Lucky Palms. We’ll still be keeping contact with all those left behind though, so don’t worry about missing out on the news!

    Our new place is a converted casino. I was a little concerned about that when I heard about it but it really has been tastefully done. So I’ll take you on a virtual tour :)

    Firstly, the outside. The windows make the rooms very airy, and the large swimming pool is great for the kids.
    Screenshot-1114_zpsdtwcemsx.jpg

    The entrance leads directly into the dining/lounge area. There are plenty of seats for all the children although we don’t have lots of couches for watching television!
    Screenshot-1117_zpsv5jyegkf.jpg

    The kitchen is behind the dining room, nestled in between the two sets of stairs. It only has one stove but I’m sure we’ll manage.
    Screenshot-1132_zpsyyt2upyj.jpg

    Off to the right is the playroom. It is a lovely area for the toddlers to play in, and connects to a small playground outside.
    Screenshot-1115_zpsmpfypk7o.jpg

    Screenshot-1116_zpsium1vrid.jpg

    Upstairs is an area where the children can work on their painting, chess or homework. You can see the children hard at work already.
    Screenshot-1120_zps1ypa7kt2.jpg

    Off to the right is the science room for those children who’s hobbies are a bit more… flammable :) You can see the pool through the windows, which makes for a very relaxing view.
    Screenshot-1121_zpsdgko0lhh.jpg

    One of the front rooms has become the music room. We even have a grand piano now rather than a keyboard, so Chloe is thrilled!
    Screenshot-1122_zpsrlhoxofg.jpg

    The room next to it is a very colourful computer room/study. There are plenty of computers for the children to work on, plus an area for them to just sit and read.
    Screenshot-1123_zpssmyse2a9.jpg

    Screenshot-1124_zps6moxnmxs.jpg

    Upstairs on the second level, there is a small nursery. It isn’t very big but since the toddlers spend most of the time downstairs, it doesn’t need to be huge.
    Screenshot-1125_zpshsuuynrc.jpg

    Our bedroom is just next door, with a little sitting area and ensuite bathroom. It’s cozy but I’m loving it anyway :)
    Screenshot-1127_zpsz34v5k6n.jpg

    Screenshot-1126_zpsrij6nub7.jpg

    Screenshot-1128_zpsmhw68m6q.jpg

    Opposite our bedroom are the two bedrooms for the children. Again, they are not big but since the children don’t seem to spend much time in them except to sleep, then they are just a perfect size.
    Screenshot-1130_zpsn5yjbtb6.jpg

    Screenshot-1131_zpsjgwr2baj.jpg

    And finally, our exercise room. This is actually a room out the back that has been added on to the property. You can see Loyal already making great use of it!
    Screenshot-1129_zpsocdoy6th.jpg

    And that’s it. You’ll see more of it as I take pictures of the children. And speaking of children, we got two new arrivals not long after our arrival. Stefan Larson is a friendly little boy but a little absent-minded.
    Screenshot-1133_zpsyxehamre.jpg

    Screenshot-1134_zpsv4zls0dw.jpg

    Screenshot-1139_zpsv4dlvzxh.jpg

    While Tabbi Claremont loves the outdoors but wakes at the slightest noise.
    Screenshot-1136_zpspwlsm46p.jpg

    Screenshot-1137_zpsvcnromp6.jpg

    Screenshot-1140_zps4wlvq98a.jpg

    We also had two temporary children as well, Joshua Gilbert (who loves that hat) and Addison Ross.
    Screenshot-1135_zpsltp95yea.jpg

    Screenshot-1138_zps4dlcidpc.jpg

    And just to finish with, I have two pieces of gossip: London and his girlfriend Gillian are expecting a baby!; and Minzi has split up with Carlotta. They were together a long time, those two, but obviously it wasn’t meant to be.

    More of my normal news next time!!
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    (This was where I gave up and transferred everyone to a new town, which has been mostly much better. I shifted everyone who had moved out as well, though I probably will leave the single ones behind if I have to shift towns again.

    I did the conversion on the Lucky Palms casino myself. If anyone wants it, let me know and I’ll upload it. The kitchen may not have the final design though as I didn’t realise until play testing that it wasn’t big enough for 20 sims!! There is a slight glitch at the front of the house where sims can get stuck in the path but that seems to be leftover from the casino, not my designing, as I didn’t do anything with the paths.

    I have some more pics and gossip as the game is running more smoothly now but whether I get them posted on time is another matter!!

    Skills: Ileana - painting; Dusty - guitar.

    Sorry about the lack of update last week: my grandmother died on Sunday so I didn't feel like posting on Monday and the rest of the week was hectic as I had to help organise the funeral. But I have managed to get an update done now so yay! I thought I wouldn't be able to because I was getting an 'invalid CSRF function' notification but we're all good now :)

    Currently going through to see who all I have downloaded already in my game. :) And redownloading a few...

    Who I have downloaded so far:
    Letiza
    Liam
    Justice
    Tessa
    Hunter
    Luke
    Arthur
    Riana
    Hope
    Sunni
    Skye

    Sims I'm excited to see downloads for (don't think they're up for download yet...):
    Dusty
    Lelaini
    Augustine


    EDIT: In case the post on Sims and Friends gets buried before you see it, then I can use some of these sims in a household (4 sims in a household is the equivalent of one submission) in the Simself Legacy story I'm going to be working on. :) Because they're beautiful. :)

    Thank you :D I spent quite a lot of time getting the house just right. And apart from some issues with the kitchen, everything else seems to be good!

    Dusty will be up in the next download but Leilani is still a little way off graduating yet. I don't know that I actually have Augustine because he was only temporary (I would have added him and his sister but at the time, I didn't want to go over 23 sims in the household). So I'm not sure whether I have him... I'll have to check. And I will get around to adding Aladdin too; he's not on my pen drive so I'll have to definitely remember to see whether I have him on the computer or not.

    Ooh, so instead of a simself, I could just have a household of four and that be my contribution to your legacy? Cool :). I would recommend Letizia or Hope, since they are similar; Luke; Arthur or Hunter; and either Rianna or Sunni - just to get a good balance of colours and characters :).

    Edit: Or Liam or Justice, to get their yellow skins, instead of Arthur or Hunter. I love Luke's hair, so he's a definite, and either Letizia or Hope for their hair. If you go with Liam or Justice, don't use Sunni because they all have a similar coloured skin. Maybe use Justice and Rianna, except then you have two with yellow-ish hair... oh, this is hard!!!

    Okay, so thinking further, go with Hope since Letizia has had a staring role in my challenge. So Luke, Hope, Liam/Justice, and if I don't get a simself up in time, Rianna or Sunni.

    I'll shut up now :)

    Yes, you could do that. I'll allow up to three submissions (could be three households, or three single sims, or any combination of that) because I planned on some people not being able to choose just one sim for submission, or just one household. :)

    XD What I could do is put Justice and Hope into a household, put Luke, Arthur and/or Hunter (and somebody else if you want) into a household, then (if you want), I could put your simself (if you get that within the next 12 or so days) in a household with Sunni and/or Riana and count that as your three submissions? From there, if you want, you could choose a maximum of 1-2 sim(s) to be eligible for spouse-voting. :)

    Alright, so I just finished testing out the sims that I do have.This may be because I'm missing Island Paradise, Showtime, and all SPs but High-End Loft, but... Here's what's missing from the sims (italics = I do mind that it's missing...):
    • Letiza: Hairstyle, formal (unless she's supposed to have that knee-length EA dress...), sleepwear, athletic outfit, swimwear (unless she's supposed to have a green EA one-piece swimsuit...).
    • Liam: Liam's giving me many problems even though I have his skin and his hair, so... I just uninstalled him...
    • Justice (I believe he's a child, not a toddler...): Skin, everyday top, sleep (unless you gave him pretty pink flower pjs...).
    • Artemis (Don't know why I didn't have her listed as downloaded before...): Hairstyle, everyday, sleepwear (Unless she's supposed to have jeans and one of the Uni shirts?), athletic (I think...).
    • Tessa: Hairstyle, everyday, formal, sleepwear, athletic (maybe? But I like what she has... Despite being pink...).
    • Hunter: Hairstyle, sleep bottoms (I think), swimwear.
    • Luke: Luke's hair is CC, but I already have it, so I'm good there. Everyday, formal (maybe), sleepwear (unless he's supposed to have a kitty clawing his top...) athletic,
    • Arthur: I have his CC hair because it shows up in-game, but I know it's CC because I remember downloading it... Everyday, sleepwear, athletic, swimwear (EA should have switched his athletic and swimwear outfits when they applied them to him... XD).
    • Riana: Hairstyle, everyday, formal (but I like what's she's in...), sleepwear (I think...), athletic, swimwear (unless she's supposed to be in a full-body diving suit...).
    • Hope: Hairstyle, everyday, formal (the type of green she's in doesn't look good on her...), sleepwear (it almost looks nice!), athletic.
    • Sunni: Skin, hairstyle, everyday, formal, sleepwear, athletic,
    • Skye: Hairstyle, everyday skirt & shoes, formal, sleepwear (but it actually looks nice what EA put her in... :3), athletic (again, looks nice...), swimwear

    For me, I'm fine with the missing clothing, as I can just change it. It's probably from some EP/SP I'm missing. I don't know how other simmers feel about that, though, so just letting you know... Then, unless you used CC for the outwerwear, that should have transfered over properly so I'm not checking that... Do you use mulitple skins? Because I could have SWORN I had the berry skins you provided...

    EDIT: I'm going to try redownloading the skins, see if that helps...

    EDIT 2: Nope. Sunni is still missing her skin... I can change it to one of the skins I do have, but.. It's not the same...

    Alright, so I just finished testing out the sims that I do have.This may be because I'm missing Island Paradise, Showtime, and all SPs but High-End Loft, but... Here's what's missing from the sims (italics = I do mind that it's missing...):
    • Letiza: Hairstyle, formal (unless she's supposed to have that knee-length EA dress...), sleepwear, athletic outfit, swimwear (unless she's supposed to have a green EA one-piece swimsuit...).
    • Liam: Liam's giving me many problems even though I have his skin and his hair, so... I just uninstalled him...
    • Justice (I believe he's a child, not a toddler...): Skin, everyday top, sleep (unless you gave him pretty pink flower pjs...).
    • Artemis (Don't know why I didn't have her listed as downloaded before...): Hairstyle, everyday, sleepwear (Unless she's supposed to have jeans and one of the Uni shirts?), athletic (I think...).
    • Tessa: Hairstyle, everyday, formal, sleepwear, athletic (maybe? But I like what she has... Despite being pink...).
    • Hunter: Hairstyle, sleep bottoms (I think), swimwear.
    • Luke: Luke's hair is CC, but I already have it, so I'm good there. Everyday, formal (maybe), sleepwear (unless he's supposed to have a kitty clawing his top...) athletic,
    • Arthur: I have his CC hair because it shows up in-game, but I know it's CC because I remember downloading it... Everyday, sleepwear, athletic, swimwear (EA should have switched his athletic and swimwear outfits when they applied them to him... XD).
    • Riana: Hairstyle, everyday, formal (but I like what's she's in...), sleepwear (I think...), athletic, swimwear (unless she's supposed to be in a full-body diving suit...).
    • Hope: Hairstyle, everyday, formal (the type of green she's in doesn't look good on her...), sleepwear (it almost looks nice!), athletic.
    • Sunni: Skin, hairstyle, everyday, formal, sleepwear, athletic,
    • Skye: Hairstyle, everyday skirt & shoes, formal, sleepwear (but it actually looks nice what EA put her in... :3), athletic (again, looks nice...), swimwear

    EDIT 2: Nope. Sunni is still missing her skin... I can change it to one of the skins I do have, but.. It's not the same...

    I'll have to check the skins for Justice (although he should have the same as Liam) and Sunni because I thought they were both berry skins. I only downloaded the berry skins that I told you about; the rest come from EA.

    All the clothing was store/EP/SP because I didn't want to attach CC clothing to any sims I was downloading in case they were corrupted. So since I have most of the SP and EPs, and a lot of the store items, that's probably why a lot of the clothing is missing :) Most of the clothing didn't really matter anyway because if they were a YA, they were going out into the world and I wasn't going to see them much anyway :) Just choose styles that suit them and recolour them if you wish.

    The hairstyles... I'm going to have to check to see which are CC and which aren't. I'll give you a rough idea but then I'll have to track down the cc ones, and figure out in game what the others are from.
    CC hair:
    Tessa, Hope (I think), Artemis (found here)

    EA hair: (Most likely)
    Letizia, Hunter (Town Life), Riana, Skye

    Can you tell how much attention I pay when I'm styling the sims??

    I think I gave Letizia a long formal dress (checked, it's on page 4, long white dress). I wouldn't be able to tell you what I gave all the sims but if it doesn't match their favourite colour, then it probably has been replaced. I give you permission to change them into similar clothing if you don't have the items :)

    Off to have dinner now but I'll do some searching afterwards and post the links or information when I have them.

    Ooh, so instead of a simself, I could just have a household of four and that be my contribution to your legacy?

    Yes, you could do that. I'll allow up to three submissions (could be three households, or three single sims, or any combination of that) because I planned on some people not being able to choose just one sim for submission, or just one household. :)
    Cool :). I would recommend Letizia or Hope, since they are similar; Luke; Arthur or Hunter; and either Rianna or Sunni - just to get a good balance of colours and characters :).

    Edit: Or Liam or Justice, to get their yellow skins, instead of Arthur or Hunter. I love Luke's hair, so he's a definite, and either Letizia or Hope for their hair. If you go with Liam or Justice, don't use Sunni because they all have a similar coloured skin. Maybe use Justice and Rianna, except then you have two with yellow-ish hair... oh, this is hard!!!

    Okay, so thinking further, go with Hope since Letizia has had a staring role in my challenge. So Luke, Hope, Liam/Justice, and if I don't get a simself up in time, Rianna or Sunni.

    XD What I could do is put Justice and Hope into a household, put Luke, Arthur and/or Hunter (and somebody else if you want) into a household, then (if you want), I could put your simself (if you get that within the next 12 or so days) in a household with Sunni and/or Riana and count that as your three submissions? From there, if you want, you could choose a maximum of 1-2 sim(s) to be eligible for spouse-voting. :)

    Okay, Household 1: Justice and Hope. Household 2: Luke, Arthur, Riana and Sunni. Household 3: simself, Aladdin, plus a couple of sims from my ISBI (I'll just have to decide which ones). I don't know yet which ones I'd like to see as spouses so I'll have to think on that some more.

    @MayaRose1138 So as not to do a huge long post, I'll just do a little tag. :3 I did a quick test to see if it was the default replacement skins that I had (I didn't think it was because it didn't affect any other skins...) but it didn't make a difference when I removed the default replacement skins. And I have ALL of the skins downloaded from that site, so I don't think it's one of those that they have... But I don't know what else it could be...

    As for the households: I can most definitely do that. :) However, I'd need the download links of Aladdin and the other sims from your ISBI. :3

    I'll have time to go in game tonight and see if I can figure out what skin Sunni has then. I'll also grab Aladdin, and get aged up files of the two that I want from the ISBI. I know which I want for the female but I'm still deciding which one out of two for the male. Just so it's even :).

    Letizia's hair: store content (can't find) Gown: store content (not sure which set)
    Riana's hair: store "catch a wave" (I also used this for Aayla)
    Skye's hair: can't find at all, which is weird. It's not even on her when I opened the save file on my computer. But it was definitely store/pack hair.
    Hope's hair: by Cazy, "Helena" - found at The Sims Resource (sorry, can't get the direct link at the moment)
    Tessa's hair: still haven't found.

    Sunni's skin: I have eleven cc skins listed, with the circles showing as light orange, beige, khaki green, purple, yellow, darker purple, bright green, skin pink, blue and lighter purple. The second one, the beige, shades from a very light orange to a darkish orange, so Sunni's skin is actually orange rather than yellow according to the chart. Looking at the download site, it looks like "Scatter Fruits 20". Given that Loyal and Constance both ended up slightly greener skin than their father, I'm thinking that Liam's and Justice's were both "Scatter Fruit 27". If they weren't, they would have been the "20" one.

    Okay, I've got Aladdin and will put him, his niece Aayla, and his brother-in-law Ianto on the download page in a day or two. Ianto was a very good ISBI sim, learning many skills in his own, getting married and having five children, and getting to something like level 7 in the busking career on his own. He deserves to be in a legacy where he can do more :). Aayla is looking like being an heir in my legacy but she's only a toddler so I haven't decided yet. And I have my simself as well :). Maybe a slightly prettier than I am in real life but anyway... :). I'll have to get you the link for her hair too.

    Downloading Hope's hair to see if that fixes things, added Riana's hair to my wishlist, I'll see if I can find out where Skye's hair comes from, and I'll see if I can help find Tessa's hair...

    Hm... That's odd. I have both 20 and 27 skin colors downloaded. :P

    Alright. :3 Would the download page be this story's download page, or somewhere else? Because if it's somewhere else, then I'd need to know where... XD

    EDIT: I don't see a 27 fruit... Only the 27 paint...

    EDIT 2: I FOUND Skye's HAIR! It's called "Bound Up Bows." http://store.thesims3.com/productDetail.html?productId=OFB-SIM3:38580 Added to my wishlist. :) Now to find Tessa's hair...

    If need be, I am willing to change a few hairstyles to similar things and come up with a reason for it.

    If need be, I am willing to change a few hairstyles to similar things and come up with a reason for it.

    I'll put the download here in a comment. Was going to do that today but was experimenting to see if I could shift my sims game to my D drive because I'm running out of space on my C drive (given that the formatting was split in a really stupid manner and most of C drive is already taken up with the graphics programs that I can't delete). It didn't work. Then PortraitPanel threw a fit over Constance's boyfriend and that took a while to sort out. Then I had family drop in and they only left about 30 minutes ago.

    Well, there are 13 skin files on the site and I only have eleven installed so I'm going to have to investigate that further. I actually have the opal ones downloaded but I don't think they're in the game.

    I'm glad you found Skye's hair!! So now remains the question as to why that wasn't showing up in game yesterday...

    I don't think Tessa's is an Anubis retexture (I use a fair amount of her/his hair) and I've been through all the Skysims ones and it wasn't there, so tomorrow ill go through and write down every hair package and simpack file I can find and then do searches on them to see what matches. This is why I should have originally written down all the links!!

    Edit: found it! Link: http://fanaskher.tumblr.com/post/91582142262/newsea-uproar-retextured-all-ages-a-cute. I thought I remembered someone asking about it way back when I had Tessa in the household so I went back and found the link on page 3.

    Okay, so here are some of the downloads @SilentWolf101.

    This is my simself, Maya-Rose Simself. Her hair can be found here and her download here. Her picture won't upload so I don't have anything to show you but you should be able to get the idea from the hair (brown with slightly lighter highlights) and glasses.

    Edit: got her too:
    Maya-Rose%20Simself_zpsvvivijwc.jpg

    Next is Aladdin Shortcake-Crumble. You already know what he looks like, so his download is here.

    Next is Aayla Shortcake-Crumble. This is Aladdin's niece but if you put her in as a sister, that may help avoid icky entanglements later on :) Her download is here.
    Aayla_zpsmnzdnian.jpg

    And finally Ianto (pronounced E-yan-to) Shortcake-Crumble, brother-in-law to Aladdin (but maybe put him as a brother too). His download is found here. Ianto's pic won't load either but you'll have seen him before on the "Sims and Friends" thread. I'll try to post the pictures again tomorrow.

    Edit: Got him:
    1x01%20-%20Ianto%20-%20YA_zpshprbt8wp.jpg

    @MayaRose1138 Yay! Now I'm glad that that's all sorted out. :) Now, the only thing left is the skin problem... Off to test the new sims!

    EDIT: I found that, though I have all of the Scatter Fruits installed, apparently they're not all showing up in my game... So, I'm running a quick test to see if that was it. So, it may have been a problem on my end all along... XD Nevermind... Just had to scroll down...

    EDIT 2: So, I'm about 99.9% sure that Justice has Scatter Fruit # 13, as when I applied that skin to him, the color matched almost perfectly. Just have to find the exact right shade... Now, to test the others...

    EDIT 3: So, I've got Justice's skin color right, and I'm going to go in and fix his clothes later, but I just wanted to let you know that I aged him up to a teen (so that he wasn't a child while his sister was a YA...).

    EDIT 4: I think it must be something up with the downloads... I have Aladdin's hair, I know I do, because I use it on Elliot in my Pets Rescue story. But, Aladdin shows up without the hair in my game... Also, somehow, his skin came out a lot darker than it does in your picture of him. XD Completely forgot he was a Genie, and Genies came with the Showtime EP, which I don't have yet... XD Hehe, thank goodness for scatter fruit skins, which get it close!

    EDIT 5: Aayla is missing her hair. I gave her a temporary replacement hair, which looks really nice on her, but...
