Ameera talks work with Finn, letting him know everything that has been going on with Fern, as well as maybe opening up a club so they can play there whenever.
0h wow that really is a surprise where did Matty come from? Fern moved out I hate to see him leave but then again it might be better for the band if he does have his own space! I wish azure had been able to be better friends with him more! Paxton is going to boarding school well with all the drama it might be for the best I hope she got into a good one!
Sorry you ended up having to buy a dive bar I would have tried my hand at making a place but I am currently rearranging my whole room around! Also trying to change my closet into a bunny pen! In the process of doing all this everything I have hidden in little nitches have had to come out of those nitches! So my room is a bit like when you unpack a bag and somehow everything has doubled in size!
Also I have noticed some lagging in my monte vista game and the only explanation I can think of is stuck npc sims. So I am going to add my first mod to my game the nraas over watch one tomorrow hopefully! I debated about erasing my game before adding it but the only way I know to know for sure if stuck sims is the problem is to keep the game and see if over watch fixes it! Any tips on anything I should do before adding it?

The beauty of Twallan's Story Progression mod. Anything can Happen! A lot of what is happening, I'm not prompting it especially as I am not playing Ameera's household all the time. Azure didn't even know a Matty until I got the notification of the pending nuptials. Don't be shocked if they move out too.
I'll get to Fern in a minute -.-
Paxton going to boarding school was my choice. Usually I don't send them to boarding school unless it rolls up as a wish. I figured one less person to play with.
The dive bar is fine and hopping too. Except no bartender no matter how many times I hire one. So I put in that quick coffee and snacks bar and got some success that way. I'll be sprucing things up as we go. I'll still probably try to find another bar, something classier, but this fits for now.
No, no tips. For best results, be fully patched, use the right one and make sure your mods folder is set up properly. Although, if this is one that you play often in, it could be because of the save file. It gets corrupt and laggy over time. Not sure what the fix is on that, maybe @ciane knows.
I called him twice and he said he would be right there. He never showed up!!
He has two more chances. If he can't show up, he will be right back where he started. Living with Azure and Buchanan and having to make amends before he can have his freedom.
We'll get him straightened out. I think a visit from Azure to help ease the tension would do him some good. If I have the lock the two in a room, I will. Makes for a good story though. I also don't think things are quite as steady with Haukea and Finn anymore. She's out all the time and he stays home. Poor fella. No cheating yet though.
Oh poor Finn! You should sent the band on a bonding trip. Where they have to rely on each other to get back home safe that should get them to focus on the right things, lol.
Don't forget to take care of yourself every now and then in this big chaotic world!
Setting up for mods is a simple process.
1st. Create a folder called Mods (with an Upper case/Capital letter M) within your Sims folder in documents.
2nd. Go to that folder you just called Mods and copy in a resource.cfg file found here: http://nraas.wikispaces.com/file/detail/Resource.zip (Notice it is a zip file which must be unzipped, so extract it into the Mods folder.) I chose this one as it is from nraas - the same place you'll find the Overwatch mod, which is one mod I firmly recommend.
3rd. Create another folder within the Mods folders called Packages. (Again, capitalize the P.)
Whatever mods you get will be extracted to that Mods folder and will have .package on the end of their file.
Some people also create an Overrides folder within the Mods folder when they want one mod to override (or have priority over) any other mods.
After adding mods, clear those .cache files in the Sims 3 folder to make sure the game reads the new mods when you reload your game.
@ciane thank you I appreciate your help and am glad for the extra check list! Over at the nraas site they had a link to simswiki that had a folder that had the resources file already in it here is a link to it!
http://simswiki.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:Installing_Sims_3_Package_Files/Setup_and_Files
All I had to do was drag and drop it in my sims3 folder and it has 2 mods already there so you could check if it worked before adding anything else! ( one takes away the sims intro where all the plum bobs pop up with the kid in the gym Ect... The other takes away the sparkles that are there when you build a wall!) you can erase those mods afterwards if you want they are mainly there to check that you did them right. Sorry to go on like this but I thought you might want to know about that link since I know you will probably be helping someone else. I have noticed your kindess and seen you help other of simmers out!
Anyway I did that and checked to make sure I got that far ok then I added the overwatch the little note came up before going my game that a mod was found and in game I was able to bring up the overwatch menus when I asked it to find stuck sims no stuck sim message came up! I wasn't able to stay on until 3 for its nightly check.(I am going to have to change the time for that!) I did forget to clear those cashes so I wil do that today! So either I was wrong and I don't have stuck sims ( which is a good thing really!) or it didn't pick them out because I didn't clear those cashes or even maybe because I had not turned off my computer and restarted it the program didn't kick in completely I know sometimes you have to do that! I am sure overwatch is installed correctly since I could access it's menu!
Do you know how long it takes to do its nightly check I want to make sure to have the game on long enough to! After all my lag problem could be do to the many other things overwatch checks for!
Thank you for for taking your time to read my little rambling here and for helping a newbie to modding!
@Teanias - I have seen the link to the mts set up before, thank you.
The overwatch mod will usually take longer the first time it runs to check and correct everything that has built up over time. The length of time will depend on what it finds to correct. When your world has few errors, you might not have any lag when it runs and you will just see the pop up that it turned off a stereo or something. I once had a messed up world that took maybe a few minutes for overwatch to do it's thing the first time.
@cian cool good to know it should not take more than a few minutes! I was thinking of playing for half an hour at least after the time I set so that should definitely be good! Thank you again!
@ciane just thought I would give you an update (plus I am a little proud my first mod works!) overwatch did it's nightly check and the main problem was it had 47 vehicles to be removed!
I've decided on the trip and how we'll decide where the band goes.
So, Ameera doesn't care and decided the simplest way is she'll go to the club first and invite the band. The first person to arrive and they'll go to that person's choice of destinations.
Azure wants to go to Paris.
Finn wants to go to Egypt.
Fern wants to go to China.
@ciane just thought I would give you an update (plus I am a little proud my first mod works!) overwatch did it's nightly check and the main problem was it had 47 vehicles to be removed!
Well... I don't know how, but overwatch removes about 1500 vehicles a night in my game... up to 4000. I guess my game really is messed up!
A little housekeeping news as well, Ameera and Azure both want to live in a Penthouse, so, I am going to allow it, because, the newlyweds need their alone time, the rotational gameplay is going well and hilariously. Stevie and James should head off to boarding school and yeah. That will happen after the trip!
Everything was going so well. Ameera decided to see what adventures there were and checked the board. Fern went with her while the other two checked out the local sights.
Azure can't seem to get along but that could be overlooked if he would just show up to play! I like Fern to I wish he could have gotten his act together!

Yup! Fern moved out. He is still in the band, he's just living in the city.
THAT'S Your CAR?

*Talk about your downgrades*
At least he's still playing. And hey, what did we say about playing with aggression?
Screenshot-9 by Lady Emillye, on Flickr
Ya know what? I'm gonna allow this. As long as Fern shows up when he is needed, he can enjoy his freedom.
Did I say something about divorce or nuptials last time?
Well, they were nuptials.
