Shine and Roddy get ready for a trip to Selvadorada
Roddy had packed his bag, ready to go to Selvadorada, and was waiting patiently for Shine to finish her packing:
'Ok, that's my bag sorted' Shine said, coming down from her bedroom. Roddy smiled:
She gave Roddy a big loving hug:
'Ready to go, sweetie?' Shine asked:
'I'm ready, mummy!' Roddy replied, excited. Benjamin came over and gave Roddy a big loving hug:
'Take care, my boy!' he said, smiling:
'I will, Dad!' Roddy replied:
'That's my boy!' Benjamin said, pinching Roddy's cheek:
'Have a nice time, my fair maiden' Benjamin said, giving Shine a kiss on the cheek. 'I will, honey' Shine replied, giving him a kiss on the cheek. She then called the taxi:
And off they went!
Welcome back to Selvadorada! And so many smooches!
Shine and Roddy arrived at Hillview Hideaway. They were greeted by Oscar Trujillo:
Roddy and Shine unpacked once they entered the rental and had a bit of a rest. Later on, they went over to the marketplace. Carla Robles, the owner of the Cantina, ran over once she saw Roddy:
'How are you doing, sweetiepie?' Carla asked:
'I'm doing fine, Carla! I've met several new people and families recently' Roddy replied, beaming. 'That's good to hear!' Carla said, smiling. She gave Roddy a big smooch on the cheek:
Carla then gave Roddy a big loving hug:
She then went back to tending the bar. Later on, Lily O'Hara came over and said hello to Shine:
She then said hello to Roddy:
And gave him several big smooches on his face:
Roddy went bright red and giggled. Lily had covered his face in big, red lipstick smooches:
Roddy used one of his makeup removal wipes:
Lily then changed into her formal outfit:
And made a kissy face at Roddy, which made him giggle:
Lily then gave Roddy several more big smooches on his face:
Roddy went bright red and giggled even more. Lily had covered his face in more big, red lipstick smooches:
Roddy used another one of his makeup removal wipes:
'And one more!' Lily said, smiling:
She gave Roddy a very big smooch on the cheek:
Lily then gave Roddy a big loving hug:
Whilst this was happening, Shine chatted to Chelsea Wayford:
Chelsea turned her attention to Roddy:
And made a kissy face at him:
Chelsea then gave Roddy a big smooch on the cheek:
And a big loving hug:
After a few more minutes of chatting, Roddy and Shine said goodbye to Lily O'Hara and Chelsea Wayford. They went back to Hillview Hideaway:
Roddy and Shine had a rest.
I had a blooper from the previous post, but I forgot to post it, so here we are:
Bloopers
'Look Ekram! I have a halo!' 'No, Eleanore, that's the sun'
Oh joy, a considerable amount of broken images. I've had to replace them in the blog.

Haven't played much Sims after getting sucked into Monster Hunter: World but I'm finally back on track, been kind of re-doing my towns and what not to fit the time period of my Sims/Characters and it's been a lot of fun!
Grabbed a lot off the gallery and turned it into an 80s inspired dance club (I can't grab a link to the build off of there but it's originally the Uptown Dance Club by NMCPIE)
It's a literal hot spot
Also makes for a great spot for screenshots with those dark colored walls and lighting
Rebuilt a new mall from scratch after getting tired of the old one I posted on here about a year ago. Wanted something a little bit more on point
Also cranked out some CC for Christmas and lost some sleep because of it
Been wanting to play more after I finish editing the festive Christmas photo of the main plums
Merry Christmas, or Happy Winterfest! I'm up and wearing a new t-shirt, featuring Grumpy the Dwarf wearing a Santa get up. I've also got a new mug! A Wallace and Gromit mug! Whoo!
We find Roddy and Shine at Carla's Cantina:
Into the Jungle!
After a chat with Oscar Trujillo and Carla Robles, Shine and Roddy set off for the trailhead. Once there, Roddy excavated a dig pile:
He finds something and puts it in his rucksack. Meanwhile, Shine sees a new person!
Everyone, meet Grace Valencia, one half of the Adventure Duo!
Roddy came over and said hello:
And Grace gave her new friend a big hug:
She then chatted with Shine and Roddy:
Afterwards, Grace went back to where she lived...which is nowhere...(I must remember to give her and Pearl Victoria a home). Anyway, Shine and Roddy forged on through the jungle, doing their usual jungle activities:
And one of those activities includes foiling Dr Bees' many attempts to ruin someone's day:
Back to business!
At last, the path was clear to the Royal Baths:
Shine and Roddy made their way back to Hillview Hideaway...Well, actually. Roddy opened a portal to the rental and went through. Shine followed.
Smooches from Carla
Carla saw the portal open and wondered what was going on. Suddenly, Roddy and Shine came through. 'What the Eccles Cake?!' Carla exclaimed in surprise!
She gave Shine a big hug:
And gave Roddy a very big smooch on the cheek:
And a big loving hug:
And then Shine and Roddy went into Hillview Hideaway:
Bloopers
Wait, Oscar, what are you doing? That's the wrong kiss cheek interaction! Use the one for the children!
My laptop's gonna get a RAM upgrade from 8GB to 16GB, which is the maximum my laptop can take. I might even be able to crank up my graphics settings a bit more.

@Steamvarius That extra 8gb of RAM will make a difference, for sure. Game definitely runs much smoother with 16gb; Enjoy it when you upgrade!
@RedDestiny92 Thanks, was a lot of fun making the card!
This guy was giving me such trouble, though, I had to re-do the posing at least 10 times haha
I do need to adjust the lighting a bit more inside the mall, make it not so dark and spooky looking but it's getting there. Having a Spa inside might be a bad idea, though, as a lot of Sims will be walking around in towels
@Doctor_Vikter, page 551.
Thank you! This laptop's been with me for a while, so the extra speed is welcome. It's a Toshiba/Dynabook Satellite C50-A-146.
@DeafSimmer, page 551.
So, Carlos is now going to zombify StrangerVille. Great.

I've curently got my new headphones plugged into my Echo Dot, and enjoying every ounce of clarity.
So, what do we have here? A basement under Hillview Hideaway!
I added another part to it:
Archaeology in the new basement!
Shine went down into the basement and got to work on artifact authentication:
Is it genuine, or is it a filthy fake?
FAAAAKE!
Meanwhile, Roddy chatted to Benjamin:
Shine studied another artifact:
A fist pump meant it was genuine:
Carol Brinson on holiday
I was very surprised when I saw Carol Brinson had decided to go on holiday in Selvadorada!
Shine greeted her with a friendly kiss on the cheek:
The pair had a chat and a catch up:
Carol then turned to Roddy:
And gave him several big smooches on the cheek:
Roddy went bright red and giggled. Carol had covered his face in big, shiny, bright pink lipstick smooches:
Carol then smiled at Roddy:
She gave Roddy several more big smooches on his face:
Roddy went bright red and giggled again. Carol had covered his face in more big, shiny, bright pink lipstick smooches:
Roddy used one of his makeup removal wipes:
Carol then gave Roddy a big loving hug:
Roddy and Carol then chatted to each other:
Afterwards, Roddy and Shine said goodbye to Carol and went back to Hillview Hideaway.

Hello All!!!! I just want to wish everyone here a very Christmas and Happy Holidays!!!
With no further ado, I have posted a fun little Winterfest Story. It has Death, ghosts, vampires, wizards and lots of holiday cheer!
A WINTERFEST STORY: How Count Vladislaus Straud IV saved Winterfest
Twas the night before Winterfest
And all the through the house
Not a Creature Stirred
Not even...a....
Except for Vlad
He flew to Willow Creek and Found a small cheery home. For his nightly feeding
“What a Festive Sight” he thought.
He opened a Christmas Cracker
He wandered through the house but not a soul was there
Except for one single urn
“How sad! What a horrible time of year to meet your end!”
he cried and wondered who it could be
He sat down and contemplated what it all could mean.
When suddenly the urn began to float, creak and moan
Much to his terror, an erie ghost appeared
It was Father Winter! Oh no! What happened my old friend?
Tell me your end?
Old Father Winter explained what happened
Ooooh Noooo! He moaned, What horrible night! I was crafting some last minute toys on this accursed robotics work station. So many requests for new robot toys!
“What a fool I was! I should have leveled up my robotics skill first!
That is how I died.
I need your help Vlad! You must find a wizard to bring me back.
And deliver all the toys to the good girls and boys
Or else Winterfest is canceled!
But, but...cried Vlad and has he ticked off the reasons.
I’m Evil and...!
I have faith in you my friend. I can give you my powers to help you through your trials tonite!
“Fine” Vlad sighed
First stop, he flew to the only Wizard’s house he knew.
Former sage, Simeon Silversweater!
“Oh dear Mr. Wizard. I come bearing bad news. And I need your help!”
Father Winter has passed and WinterFest is ruined.
I need you to bring him back!
“Oh no” cried the Wizard
“Alas I do not know the spells to bring our friend back”
Said Simeon..
What do you mean? cried Vlad!
“No worries vampire, I know an old colleague who does!”
“I will come and help” said Simeon’s wife Rachel
And with that Vlad returned to Forgotten Hollow
He broke the bad news to his lovely fiance, Julie Wright and his loyal manservent, Renfield
I don’t know how I will finish all this in one night! he cried
Do not worry my dear, said Julie
Renfield and I will help you!
“Yeth Mathter!! Renfield will go and change!
Mwa ha ha ha!
The count and his two helpers began their toil
First house, the Pancakes
What a cold blustery night
Santa Vlad used his vampiric powers to open the door. They didn’t quite fit down the chimney
Merry Winterfest small child, said Vlad
Julie began by adding the presents
First house done! Now on to the next
They arrive at the Goth’s giant mansion
Open the door Vlad!
Bella was so glad to see Father Winter (?) Her son Alexander was worried it was cancelled.
Job well done!
Meanwhile in Windenberg. The wizard Simeon complains to his wife Rachel
“I have called every number I know. Morgyn retired from his post as Sage of Untamed Magic years ago like me.
Yet No one knows where he has gone!
What shall we do?
Let’s travel to the Magic Realm she suggested.
With that he transportaliated them both
Vlad and his Winterfest helpers found their duties carried them far and wide. To Strangerville Places
With some unique inhabitants
Simeon and Rachel arrived in the Magic Realm
It had been years since he last visited
There were all new sages
He asked and asked for the whereabouts of Morgyn Embers
But no one knew
Rachel asked too
Finally he asked L. Faba who was still Sage of Mischief
It had been a long time since he last saw her
But she had no clue
Meanwhile Rachel whipped out her laptop
A little googling will do
I found him, his address too!
She cried
Good job, wife!
Lets go!
Vlad and his helpers finally arrived at the home of his cousin, Arthur Climate
What a jolly house!
There was a blizzard
He found Arthur’s young son Nicolas out in the cold.
“You’re not Father Winter…” the toddler thought
“Let’s come in from the snow”
Arhur was glad to see his son! He could not find him
They all celebrated with cheer
And opened presents
Simeon and Rachel arrived at the home of Morgyn Embers
Good job wife!
Morgyn was now a professor
And had settled down with Susan, and their adopted daughter Lanuola
Simeon greeted his old friend
And explained the situation
Of course I will help! Said Morgyn
So this is the urn
Such a dire situation
Can you bring him back Morgyn?
Are you kidding?
Hello!!
So what’s like being dead? Joked Morgyn
They laughed
Now down to business. No time to waste!
Success!!!
They made a phone call to Vlad and his cronies
To tell him Father Winter would take over.
Vlad decided they had two last places to visit before traveling home
They left some nice big presents at Morgyn’s and Simeon’s homes
On the way back, Julie stopped him outside one house
Wolfsbane Manor
The home of the Vatores.
What are we doing here?!
Vlad demanded!
We are sworn enemies, he cried
Lilith and Caleb and I don’t see eye to eye
And neighbors! Forgive and Forget for one night
C’mon Vlad, tis the season to spread cheer!
Fine.
Let bygones be bygones! And open some presents
They sang some carols
Their night wasn’t over!
Back home, they found a surprise
Father Winter stopped in
And left them some presents
He had brought Vlad’s adopted son Markus Crow all the way from Sulani!
Some gift giving
Finally some mistletoe
Merry Winterfest!!
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!!
Hey everyone. Merry Christmas/Happy Winter Fest my friends :) I hope you have all had a truly wonderful day.
Unfortunately no update with my Sims game today but hopefully I'll have one tomorrow. Today has mostly been a day of opening gifts and spending time with my family and loving every second of it. Its been a wonderful Christmas here and I hope it has for you as well :)
Love reading your stories and updates. Take care all.
Shine and Roddy are at the trailhead again, so that means jungle exploration time:
Jungle exploration
Shine and Roddy went across the bridge:
And went through the jungle:
Just as Shine was nearing a dig pile:
Tarantula time:
Roddy looked up and saw the Terrible Tarantula flying a helicopter and dropping tarantulas from the sky. 'STOP THAT!' he yelled and aimed a slight amount of magic at the helicopter. This knocked the helicopter out of the sky. 'I WILL GET YOU NEXT TIME, RODDY FURYSTRYKAR!' The Terrible Tarantula screamed, floating down from a parachute. The villain looked down... 'Ahhh, (CENSORED)!' He was going to land in a swamp full of crocodiles. Hungry crocodiles. Roddy and Shine shrugged and carried on their way through the jungle. Along the way, The pair spotted Kolby Arnett:
Shine waved to him:
Kolby and Shine talked for a while:
And then Shine excavated the dig pile:
Later in the exploration, Dr Bees had struck again. As usual, his plan was foiled:
'When will you learn?' Roddy said, sighing. He spotted the ratbag and teleported him into an infinite loop of portals. 'AAAAAAARGH! I'M GOING TO BE SICK!' Dr Bees yelled. 'Well, maybe you should think twice about sending bees to attack people!' Roddy replied. He then joined Shine and continued through the jungle:
'ONE MORE THING, DR BEES! YOU WILL GET OUT OF THE PORTAL TRAP WHEN MY SPELL WEARS OFF!' Roddy called.
The pair arrived at the secret area and Shine opened the chest, gaining an artifact and several pieces of exploration gear:
Shine and Roddy then went back to Hillview Hideaway:
Sims 4 Family: Benjamin, Shine, Princess Roddy, Sophia and Hamish Furystrykar and Shelly Heart. Princess Roddy is my avatar, and he's a boy!
I was right! I got Sims 4 Discover University for Christmas and the first thing I did was give Ryan and Katherine makeovers. I totally did a 180 with Katherine as far as her hair and eye color.
They live in San Myshuno. After they finish this first term, they'll actually move to Britechester into off-campus housing and continue their education. One attends Foxbury and the other attends Britechester.
Origin ID HillyPlays P.A.C.E- Positive Attitude Changes Everything
@AlwaysAsking aww nice present! ( @Morkovka that's really sweet of you!) Ian and Lawrence really are a cute couple, and Ian looked very much in his element Poor Lawrence and his allergies!
@TheLastStar that all works well, then! Adorable Christmas pictures!
Morkovka again (I pinged above!), what precious li'l beans!! "I'm a bat!" "I'm a mage!" "I'm just cute."
@Beardedgeek ooh, that sounds fun! I really enjoyed the Strangerville story, myself. Definitely give it a shot!
@DeafSimmer welcome to the family, Kimberly! Oh jeez, Carlos escaped? That could be a problem with the concert in San Myshuno...
Oh wow, or not. Good luck to Strangerville, then!
@Doctor_Vikter that mall is so authentically 80s-looking I now have vaporwave/mallsoft playing in my head.
@Keidra finally, a use for paparazzi Ooh, enjoy DU and C&D!!
@sarabeth2984 BEAUTIFUL. I let out a laugh at Vlad in the Father Winter outfit that legitimately made my cat jump! And what a lovely ending! You see, Vlad, even Evil Sims can feel the Winterfest spirit!
@Becka28 he's living his best life and good on him!
@sarabeth2984 Than you - I loved your Christmas story Not sure how I feel about Vlad delivering my pressies though.
@Doctor_Vikter that nightclub and mall are amazing. So nice to have some sims who balance out the cuteness ratio with some insomnia inducing cc.
@DeafSimmer love the twists that Strangerville is involved and Carlos is back. More possessed sims are always good viewing.
@Keidra love a sim who knows how to treat the paparazzi - they are really annoying Jess and Diego. One broke into a toilet stall to photograph Jess on the toilet - where is Lilith when I need her!
@Morkovka ooh I am dying of cuteness. Morgyn as a toddler is even more adorable than I imagined. Insert gif here
@keidra and @HillyBeth hope you enjoy using your new packs - I am looking forward to learning DU. And @Steamvarius very jealous f the ram increase - hope it makes your game work well.
I finally got Discover University and made a new sim to test it out. She spent her first semester on-campus at Foxbury studying Language and Literature. In between her first and second semester she became pregnant after one night stand with Salim Benali. She ended up having twins, and even though she and Salim now hate each other for some reason, he has moved in to help her take care of the kids while she attends classes full-time, which works out great because she can't have a job at the moment. For her second semester, she's taking another full course load and actually managed to get a full ride this time (she didn't get any scholarships her first semester). I had her apply a second time to see if she'd qualify for a distinguished degree, and she did! Unfortunately, I'd already renrolled her in her second semester, so I'll have to wait until her third to see if she can switch to the distinguished degree instead. She'll need to switch schools, so I'm not sure how that will work. Do sims lose their credits if they drop out? Because I think she might need to in order to switch to Britechester.
So I got the rest of the packs that were on my immediate wish list from the rest of the fam, and can now safely move all my saves to my own dang game and finally fully stop using my sister's. LOL
I'm not sure if it's Merry Christmas me, or Merry Christmas her xDD
So yeah, not new content to me, not really, just finally in my game not my sister's. I am now a fully independent human bean!
Working on TMA chapter 17 now and trying not to upset myself too much. Yeeep.
@Becka28
I don't like paps. I didn't like them in 3, I don't like them in 4. Cassandra is a 3-star, Damian and Lilith are 1-stars (yeah if anyone was wondering, I didn't move Damian out or kill him in the game or anything, it's kind of like they just live on a movie set and I have to be careful when I take screencaps in case of unfortunate bonus Damian xD) so we attract at least one every day and I'm like you know what. The game likes to throw random passersby at me when I send vamps out to hunt, so let's just grab this plum right here. This meal was even delivered for free, how nice.
Jess and Diego need a vampire butler or something. xD Preferably an evil one so they don't mind the bad rap from launching at paps they'll inevitably acquire.
@floridameerkat
The game will give you the school selection screen when enrolling again, and I do believe you just change which school is highlighted, I don't think you have to fully drop out first.

Oh great, Carlos is on the loose again. He may be large, but he's slipperier than a hagfish...and slimier too!
It's a literal hot spot
Also makes for a great spot for screenshots with those dark colored walls and lighting
Also cranked out some CC for Christmas and lost some sleep because of it
Been wanting to play more after I finish editing the festive Christmas photo of the main plums

But she had no clue
Meanwhile Rachel whipped out her laptop
A little googling will do
I found him, his address too!
She cried
Good job, wife!
Lets go!
Vlad and his helpers finally arrived at the home of his cousin, Arthur Climate
What a jolly house!
There was a blizzard
He found Arthur’s young son Nicolas out in the cold.
“You’re not Father Winter…” the toddler thought
“Let’s come in from the snow”
Arhur was glad to see his son! He could not find him
They all celebrated with cheer
And opened presents
Simeon and Rachel arrived at the home of Morgyn Embers
Good job wife!
Morgyn was now a professor
And had settled down with Susan, and their adopted daughter Lanuola
Simeon greeted his old friend
And explained the situation
Of course I will help! Said Morgyn
So this is the urn
Such a dire situation
Can you bring him back Morgyn?
Are you kidding?
Hello!!
So what’s like being dead? Joked Morgyn
They laughed
Now down to business. No time to waste!
Success!!!
They made a phone call to Vlad and his cronies
To tell him Father Winter would take over.
Vlad decided they had two last places to visit before traveling home
They left some nice big presents at Morgyn’s and Simeon’s homes
On the way back, Julie stopped him outside one house
Wolfsbane Manor
The home of the Vatores.
What are we doing here?!
Vlad demanded!
We are sworn enemies, he cried
Lilith and Caleb and I don’t see eye to eye
And neighbors! Forgive and Forget for one night
C’mon Vlad, tis the season to spread cheer!
Fine.
Let bygones be bygones! And open some presents
They sang some carols
Their night wasn’t over!
Back home, they found a surprise
Father Winter stopped in
And left them some presents
He had brought Vlad’s adopted son Markus Crow all the way from Sulani!
Some gift giving
Finally some mistletoe
Merry Winterfest!!
Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas!!
I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night.
Ha'aheo, e hoʻomau i kō kāua aloha, kau a kau.
Unfortunately no update with my Sims game today but hopefully I'll have one tomorrow. Today has mostly been a day of opening gifts and spending time with my family and loving every second of it. Its been a wonderful Christmas here and I hope it has for you as well :)
Love reading your stories and updates. Take care all.
And went through the jungle:
Just as Shine was nearing a dig pile:
Tarantula time:
Roddy looked up and saw the Terrible Tarantula flying a helicopter and dropping tarantulas from the sky. 'STOP THAT!' he yelled and aimed a slight amount of magic at the helicopter. This knocked the helicopter out of the sky. 'I WILL GET YOU NEXT TIME, RODDY FURYSTRYKAR!' The Terrible Tarantula screamed, floating down from a parachute. The villain looked down... 'Ahhh, (CENSORED)!' He was going to land in a swamp full of crocodiles. Hungry crocodiles. Roddy and Shine shrugged and carried on their way through the jungle. Along the way, The pair spotted Kolby Arnett:
Shine waved to him:
Kolby and Shine talked for a while:
And then Shine excavated the dig pile:
Later in the exploration, Dr Bees had struck again. As usual, his plan was foiled:
'When will you learn?' Roddy said, sighing. He spotted the ratbag and teleported him into an infinite loop of portals. 'AAAAAAARGH! I'M GOING TO BE SICK!' Dr Bees yelled. 'Well, maybe you should think twice about sending bees to attack people!' Roddy replied. He then joined Shine and continued through the jungle:
'ONE MORE THING, DR BEES! YOU WILL GET OUT OF THE PORTAL TRAP WHEN MY SPELL WEARS OFF!' Roddy called.
The pair arrived at the secret area and Shine opened the chest, gaining an artifact and several pieces of exploration gear:
Shine and Roddy then went back to Hillview Hideaway:
They live in San Myshuno. After they finish this first term, they'll actually move to Britechester into off-campus housing and continue their education. One attends Foxbury and the other attends Britechester.

@TheLastStar that all works well, then!
Morkovka again (I pinged above!), what precious li'l beans!! "I'm a bat!" "I'm a mage!" "I'm just cute."
@Beardedgeek ooh, that sounds fun! I really enjoyed the Strangerville story, myself. Definitely give it a shot!
@DeafSimmer welcome to the family, Kimberly! Oh jeez, Carlos escaped? That could be a problem with the concert in San Myshuno...
Oh wow, or not. Good luck to Strangerville, then!
@Doctor_Vikter that mall is so authentically 80s-looking I now have vaporwave/mallsoft playing in my head.
@Keidra finally, a use for paparazzi
@sarabeth2984 BEAUTIFUL. I let out a laugh at Vlad in the Father Winter outfit that legitimately made my cat jump! And what a lovely ending! You see, Vlad, even Evil Sims can feel the Winterfest spirit!
@Becka28 he's living his best life and good on him!
And @March306 @RedDestiny92 @troshalom @Steamvarius @WaytoomanyUIDs @LittleGoose @Simmelina1 @O-meezy @HillyBeth and everyone else who frequents this thread: I hope you had a magical Christmas, and have a wonderful New Year!
@sarabeth2984 Than you - I loved your Christmas story
@Doctor_Vikter that nightclub and mall are amazing. So nice to have some sims who balance out the cuteness ratio with some insomnia inducing cc.
@DeafSimmer love the twists that Strangerville is involved and Carlos is back. More possessed sims are always good viewing.
@Keidra love a sim who knows how to treat the paparazzi - they are really annoying Jess and Diego. One broke into a toilet stall to photograph Jess on the toilet - where is Lilith when I need her!
@Morkovka ooh I am dying of cuteness. Morgyn as a toddler is even more adorable than I imagined. Insert gif here
@keidra and @HillyBeth hope you enjoy using your new packs - I am looking forward to learning DU. And @Steamvarius very jealous f the ram increase - hope it makes your game work well.

I'm not sure if it's Merry Christmas me, or Merry Christmas her xDD
So yeah, not new content to me, not really, just finally in my game not my sister's. I am now a fully independent human bean!
Working on TMA chapter 17 now and trying not to upset myself too much. Yeeep.
@ryttu3k
Game needs moar cats. xD
@Becka28
I don't like paps. I didn't like them in 3, I don't like them in 4. Cassandra is a 3-star, Damian and Lilith are 1-stars (yeah if anyone was wondering, I didn't move Damian out or kill him in the game or anything, it's kind of like they just live on a movie set and I have to be careful when I take screencaps in case of unfortunate bonus Damian xD) so we attract at least one every day and I'm like you know what. The game likes to throw random passersby at me when I send vamps out to hunt, so let's just grab this plum right here. This meal was even delivered for free, how nice.
Jess and Diego need a vampire butler or something. xD Preferably an evil one so they don't mind the bad rap from launching at paps they'll inevitably acquire.
@floridameerkat
The game will give you the school selection screen when enrolling again, and I do believe you just change which school is highlighted, I don't think you have to fully drop out first.
我并不感到困扰
I am kind to everyone. But if you are unkind to me, kindness is not what you will remember me for.
I am autistic. Wording isn't my strong suit.
