Your story about Dwayne is so cute! I mean hey! At least you didn't delete him by accident 😂
I really could've... that would be a disaster!
I love his style! Shirt? What's a shirt? 😂
No shirts for this kid
I can't wait to see what's going on with the gang.
Storylines are about to be stirring...
Thank you!
Meant to upload this earlier but I had terrible stomach cramps and couldn't do anything soo yeah
"Okay Morgan, you do realise that a horse is a lot of responsibility... horses require lots of attention... and care... and a huge house... So how about we get you a little fish instead?"
"HORSIE!"
"Um- I just explained why we can't have a horse. Also there are no horses on Sulani... But there are lots of fishes!"
"Horsieeee! Unicorns! WELLYFANT!"
"Now it's an elephant... One week straight and she's still not giving up!" Steve laughed.
"No she's not," Tony sighed. "I don't know whether I should be proud or annoyed..."
"Mm... I think we can be proud on this one... But we're not getting an elephant."
"Nope. No elephant."
(Agg I missed how cute they are!! 🥺 Luv them all so much )
"Okay, how about we wait till you're a bit older an get you a cute little fish?"
"Wellyfant!"
"We'll get you a fish."
"TWO WELLYFANTS!"
"Okay, okay, we can consider getting you a hamster but that's as big as we're going."
"Yesterday we weren't going to get her anything - now we're considering a hamster..." Steve nervously chuckled. "Be careful - we might actually end up finding her a horse."
"No, no, no horses. We can't do horses, okay Morgan?"
"THREE WELLYFANTS! One GIRAFFE!"
"Morgan, this is ridiculous."
"Exactly, Morgan! Where exactly do you see giraffes here?"
"Don't you think a cute little fishy would be a better option?"
"Nu-uh."
"Morgan, we can't have an elephant, or a horse, or a unicorn, or a giraffe..."
"NU-UH!"
"Okay Morgan seriously..."
"Hey Peter! Everything okay?" While Tony and Morgan continued arguing about what pet they should get, Steve noticed a very unhappy Peter.
More under the cut:
"Yeah," Peter mumbled.
"You sure?.."
"I'm fine, Pa. Just a bit... uh... hungry? I um- I'm just gonna go get a snack now..."
Steve felt that something was wrong, but it was hard to concentrate with Morgan constantly hitting him with her shoes and yelling "wellyfants" in his ear.
"Okay then... Morgan we're not getting a unicorn and that's final- Peter! Throw out the trash while you're there, will you?"
"No problem..."
Peter went straight to his room. Dwayne's leaving, he thought. Dwayne's leaving... In a few days... Oh boy...
Did we have... Anything? I mean, we had that dance. And we texted for a few days. Then we sorta stopped but we had out chess matches and our basketball... Was it anything special or did I make it all up? I mean, why would he even like me? I'm so awkward I can't even say "I'm awkward as something" because I'm as awkward as myself and that's as awkward as it gets!
He probably never even though of it... He just said "see ya" and that was it...
Why now? Why does he have to leave now?..
Life became meaningless for Peter the next couple of days. He felt like there was nothing to look forward for, not even the slightest little thing. He just went through one day after the other.
Even favourite movies couldn't make Peter happy. There was absolutely nothing that could make Peter happy. Not with Dwayne leaving.
Tony and Steve didn't notice Peter's sudden depression. They were too busy negotiating Morgan's "pet" stage.
"Maybe we could get you a toy unicorn instead! A nice big fluffy toy, how does that sound?"
"Toy unicorn and five real wellyfants!"
"Honey, you've made it worse..."
Peter couldn't share his feelings with Ned and Michelle either. So he was left all alone in his thoughts.
"Why do I feel like my life is this super complicated chess match... And I have no idea which move to make..."
"Why is everything so hard... Dwayne is leaving tomorrow and we didn't even get to talk..."
Meanwhile...
"Sooo... what's up with you and Peter?"
"Nothing."
"Oh really... Nothing at all..."
Dwayne scoffed lightly.
"Leave me alone, Ned. It's none of your business."
"None of my business, excuse me!?" yelled Ned. "Peter is my best friend! An you're treating him like- like- Why do you give him hope if you're not interested? Can't you see that you're hurting him? Is this all a game to you!?"
"It may be nothing to you but it clearly is something for Peter! He's taking it seriously! And you better talk to him because you can't just leave him hanging like that-"
"Just leave me alone, Ned! You wouldn't understand!"
"Why, because I'm your sister?"
"Exactly! Now please can you just accept that me and Peter are friends! Nothing more - just friends!"
"Wow. You are such bonehead, bro. Maybe one day you'll realise that. Anyway, get off my bed."
"Why? You're staying at Michelle's tonight."
"Boneheads aren't allowed to sit on my bed. Bye."
Ned left. Dwayne sighed.
He knew exactly what to do.
Little did he know, Peter had the same idea.
Which lead them to meeting halfway.
"H-hey..." Peter stuttered. "I uh... I wanted to see you... um- You know what I mean- Since you're leaving and stuff."
"Yeah. I came to see you to. So... You wanna go play chess or something?"
Chess... didn't go as exciting as usually. Both Dwayne and Peter were awfully quiet.
"Dwayne?.. Can I uh... Ask you... something?"
"Yeah, sure," Dwayne replied, not looking at Peter.
"So... Speaking entirely theoretically... Just um... I was wondering..."
"Have you... ever... Thought of me... us... in a um..."
"Different way?.."
Dwayne looked up.
"Different way?"
"Yeeeah... Sorry, stupid question, forget I ever asked-"
On those words Dwayne suddenly leaned in for a kiss.
"You mean like that?" he nervously asked.
"Y-yeah," Peter exhaled in relief. He smiled, a bit shocked with the whole situation. "Something like that..."
Dwayne frowned.
"I thought of it," he quietly said. "And... I like you. I kinda liked you for a very long time now."
"You did? Well why didn't you say anything!? It's not like I can read your mind, you know! But it was pretty obvious that I liked you, you could've made a move!"
"No, we wouldn't work out," Dwayne shook his head.
"What? why... Is this about your college-"
"It has nothing to do with college."
"Well then what's the problem?" disappointedly yelled Peter. "If this is about you breaking everyone's hearts because apparently you're too good at socialising? Well I don't mind it and I have the opposite problem so I know what it's like and theoretically as opposites we should be perfect for each other-"
"This isn't about me breaking your heart, it's about you breaking mine," calmly explained Dwayne.
Peter paused.
"What?.."
"You're not in love with me, Peter. You think you are, but you're not."
"You're not making any sense..."
"You've had a couple of bad encounters in life and your best friends are dating eachother so it's only logical for your brain to think you're in love with me. But... I'm not the only nice person in the world. And you're worth being nice to, you deserve that, which is why eventually you'll have that. And one day you'll find a person you'll actually love and you'll want to be with that person. And if we'll be together, it's going to hurt both of us. A lot. Because I'm actually in love with you and you'll be too nice of a person to leave me... I thought about this a lot, okay? It's not a good idea..."
"Your words seem... fairly logical," Peter sighed. "But... I really do like you. And maybe someday I'll love someone more, I don't know! But whatever we are right now... it feels nice, don't you think?"
"Yeah," Dwayne smiled a bit. "It does. I never... I never felt anything like this to anyone else before. I don't really pick favourites between my friends but you're very special to me, Peter. Which is why I don't want everything to go wrong between us..."
"Well you're pretty special to me too..." hopefully said Peter.
"And I'm probably going to sound very selfish here but I don't see why we couldn't at least try..."
His palm gently touched Dwayne's hand.
"Probably could," Dwayne backed away quickly. "If I knew I would get accepted in college and we'd have to part ways anyway, I'd probably make a move. Could be fun... Too late to think about it now though."
"Well..." mumbled Peter "The night is still young?"
Dwayne smiled a bit.
"One night won't change anything, Peter" he said.
Peter took a deep breath.
"Well... I mean... It doesn't have too, does it? I-I just think we might regret not having it... I mean... You know..."
Instead of answering, Dwayne passionately kissed him.
And again.
And again...
"Hold on," he suddenly paused.
"What, what's wrong?"
"No, everything's great but... We're on the same page here, right? Everything's okay on your side?"
Peter smiled a bit and eagerly nodded.
"Good."
"Just making sure..."
"Peter," whispered Dwayne. "I've got a plane to catch."
"Mh... It's still early..." Peter muttered. Last night was wonderful. Probably the best night of his life. And right now it felt so nice to be held by Dwayne...
Peter wished it didn't have to end.
"My parents are going to kill me you know... Kinda weird how I'm not worried about it..."
"Yeah, probably should've called them... Actually I bet my parents did."
"WHAT? They... They didn't see us... Did they!?"
"This place has a ton of windows," Dwayne shrugged. "They probably figured you stayed for a sleepover..."
"Sleepover, huh?"
"Relax, they won't tell the details. That's our business. Oh and... don't tell Ned about this."
"What am I, invincible? She'll kill us both!.." Peter smiled. "I'm going to miss you so much..."
Dwayne sighed.
"Walk me to the bus station?" he softly asked.
Peter nodded.
Soon they were standing on the road leading to the airport.
"Well, there's my stop," Dwayne nervously smiled. "Britechester awaits."
"I still wish you didn't have to go..." Peter sighed.
"Hey, hey. Last night was great- perfect, even... for me. But you'll have nights better," reassured him Dwayne. "You'll find the right person for you eventually and that person probably won't be me. You need to understand your feelings, look at other options, take it slow, have fun... If after all of that you'll still be sure about me, I'll be waiting. But not now. Love is not something rush. Okay?"
"Yeah, suppose you're right..."
"Goodbye, Peter. Thanks for everything. You're... You're very special."
"Bye..."
Peter watched as Dwayne got in the bus, smiled and waved him a final goodbye. Peter waved back too.
He looked down as the bus drove away and softly smiled.
Anna Behr Munch
Birthdays
It is time for Anna & Lucas 3rd child to be born.
Welcome baby Mariana to the family.
I painted a masterpiece again today.
Time for a love song session at norebang.
Anna’s sister Britt Behr Le Chien came to play with Karl & Lisbeth.
It was the first harvest fest for the Behr Munch family.
Lucas & I went on a romantic date.
He read a beautiful poem he wrote for me. It made me feel loved.
It is birthday time for the kids right before the final exams.
Karl became a child.
Lisbeth became a child.
Mariana became a toddler.
Karl & Lisbeth did homework before they used the new crafting table.
Both Lucas & I got A+ on our first term. I sold some excellent paintings. Such money is good to have for two students with children.

Roddy went over to Oasis Springs. He did some collecting:
Afterwards, he visited Shelly Heart:
Shelly made a kissy face at Roddy, which made him giggle:
And then she gave Roddy several big smooches on his face:
Roddy went bright red and giggled. Shelly had covered his face in big, bright pink lipstick smooches:
Roddy used one of his makeup removal wipes:
Shelly smiled and gave Roddy a big loving hug:
The pair then chatted:
Afterwards, Shelly cuddled Roddy:
And then Roddy told a funny story:
Later on, Shelly made another kissy face at Roddy, which made him giggle again:
And then she gave Roddy several more big smooches on his face:
Roddy went bright red and giggled yet again. Shelly had covered his face in big, bright pink lipstick smooches:
Roddy used another makeup removal wipe:
Shelly smiled and gave Roddy another big loving hug:
Shelly then gave Roddy a big loving smooch on the cheek:
Roddy smiled and said goodbye:
Collecting again
Roddy went back to collecting. He put his earphones in, and played some festive music whilst he collected:
Roddy then went back home.

Hey hey! May I ask where you got your cc lashes on the kids?
@ChuChuExpress Your screenshots are looking great since the upgrade!
@Koteyka I feel like Dwayne is overthinking. But I'm glad they had a good night for now. Morgan's adorable.
@Dust_Bunny2010 It all read well too me. A little stream of consciousness is normal under the circumstances. My favorite part was this: "Oh my Watcher I am gonna die! I am gonna die and I'm gonna die being judgmental of other people because mother was a narcissist and apparently I inherited it since I can't even trust a medical professional." Made me lol.
@DarkAngel1994 Love the happy ending! I missed one thing though, did Carmelita die?
Will you be moving on to the next generation, or to something new entirely?
@drakharis The kids look cool. I also love the cat in your profile pic.
@ryttu3k Yeah, poor Rosie. I'd let her have a mate but Millie will be getting married soon and I only want to expand the family one direction at a time. BTW I love what you've done with Hugo! When my nb sim ages up in a week or so I'm totally looking back at pics of some of your sims for inspiration for the new wardrobe.
@DeafSimmer I love how your dialogue perfectly captures becoming partners in crime! I still admire the way you write preteens. And you have some great shots in your last couple of posts.
@AlwaysAsking Yeah, I was just playing along and the thought of social distancing occurred to me and as if on cue she developed stripes... and then it was suddenly bear night and everyone was coming in in suits. So that's where my mind went.
So far we're feeling fine and I haven't heard any updates that anyone in my granddaughter's mother's house actually has come down with anything, so knock on wood but it looks ok right now. And yes, there are so many step family members and such in this family it gets almost comical to describe it at times! Glad I shortened to granddaughter instead of stepson's daughter at least, unlike when we first got married and I was self conscious about not being old enough to be a grandmother, lol. I haven't seen that movie since I was a teen I think, but it's enough in pop culture that I get the reference.
Also, yes these men are really pleasing to the eye. And they are the new household added to my rotation to accommodate Max, since Bo is the heir to the Bateman household, so Max will move in with them in Sulani.
I will not make it all the way back to your last update in these comments, but I look forward to more Don and Thorne with baby posts, and the reunion between Don and Mary Alice.
@s33man That is a lot of freckles! And they are both very cute.
@jonilla1 Ok, so I have never understood why people were so eager for sims with body hair until I saw your sim... yeah that's nice. All your sims are attractive, really. Enjoy your extra time to play!
@sarabeth2984 Can't wait for updates on Vivian and Father Winter (sorry if I spelled her name wrong, I didn't actually scroll all the way back to your post for reference).
@GalacticGal I am not scrolling back to your last post either but I did want to say again that I really enjoy seeing your sims in action! Hope this save remains stable for a long time for you.
So that's all the comments I have time for, and here are a few shots of grown up Millie Hecking.
She likes purple, loose flowing clothes, and is letting her curly hair free now after keeping it braided in her teen years. She took the snob trait, because I require every sim to have a fault, to go with her genius and loves outdoors traits. She will be following in Brent's footsteps in the conservationist career, but she'll take the Marine Biologist branch. As soon as Max grows up, they'll get engaged.
@Koteyka ah, young love. Morgan is a cute little kid. Romance is so complicated, when you don't really know your own feelings, let alone how the object of your affection feels about you...
So, what's been going on with the Harper-Jones family??
Jenny got invited to a dance party, which appears to be... outdoors.
Hopefully this cooking session goes better than the last one!
Always a good idea to teach your dog to sit.
Where's Jenny off to? She hasn't got work today...
Oh! They decided to adopt! This is little Joanna.
Ellie got spayed.
Aww, she can't lie down to sleep properly... it won't last long, Ellie!
It's currently Love Day. Joanna was due to age up the day after, but I always age up babies early. She turned into a sweet little kid! She's Inquisitive, and I thought it'd be extra cute to give her glasses!
Since it's Love Day, I'll send them on a lovely romantic date.
@Chrinnie honestly, sounds like a win-win situation! Zayne doesn't get turned into a meal, and Vlad gets a friend!
@Dust_Bunny2010 man, that's one way to end a festival! Eva as a doctor, huh? Yeah, that accidental heart removal is a bad sign XD Poor Dino. Well, cursed name or not, welcome to the world, Lilly!
@Koteyka oh goodness Morgie a pet elephant would be a lot of work XD Poor Peter, that must have hit really hard. Ned is a great character, just talk guys! ...Now that's an answer, yes! Bittersweet ending, I think. But yeah, the distance might help them both work out what they're feeling.
@DeafSimmer ooh, Astraea might have made a friend! I wonder if he is one? Kids don't get the tails, alas.
Back to the Big Brother house for days 4-6! It's currently Wednesday afternoon, going to do the first challenge on Friday morning, let's see if they manage to survive until then!
First, a bit of maintenance - based on a tip from @AngeliqueAdelaide , I quickly added in a computer and had Caleb order a bunch of plasma packs and put them in his and Lilith's inventory. They should take them autonomously, so hopefully they won't end up going on a rampage!
That done, let's see what everyone is doing. Cassandra has just made a plate of burgers! Thank you, Cass! Malcolm is ignoring them in favour of another bowl of popcorn, Diego is making fruit salad, Caleb is chatting to him. Morgyn and Don are flirting oh god. Johnny is napping on the sofa, Lilith is swearing in frustration due to her need for activity.
Check back with the others, and Morgyn is now flirting with Diego. Better choice, bby. "Like what you see?"
"Yes. Yes I do."
Personal space, guys!!
Now Lilith and Morgyn are flirting. Do I need to saltpetre the water, guys?!
Lilith: on the hunt. Diego: uncertain where this is going. Johnny: completely oblivious.
Finally, two Sims that aren't flirting!
I just really dig the difference in sibling interactions here. The Vatores are just hanging out and enjoying each other's company, and Malcolm is... autonomously yelling at Johnny.
Cass is above all this nonsense and just wants a working sink, guys.
LILITH NO.
She knows what she wants, at least!
Morgyn conducts some important research. More important than the trash behind them, apparently!
Johnny and Morgyn crash...
...while the girls get their sports on.
Malcolm is in the can, Diego is showering, and Caleb is in the pool. Don has discovered Cass's burgers and has... promptly put it down to complain about the trash.
Don attempts repair work while Diego is literally *popcorns*
The house makes its first money! There was 10 simoleons in the trash! Don still is deeply unimpressed.
TIL evil Sims have a 'laugh maniacally' option.
Don isn't too sure what to make of these veggie burgers.
Morgyn departs for Reasons...
...while Diego stares creepily at Cass. Dude there are literally two free beds?! And - holup.
Five of the eight are out for the count!
SPLASHED.
"NOT. FUNNY. LILITH." "lmao are you kidding it was hilarious."
Morgyn is quietly enjoying some late (or early? It's 2 AM) dinner...
...when Caleb disturbs the peace.
"Ooh, parts!" Morgyn honey is that sanitary?
Caleb has just spent 9 of their 10 simoleons on some nice calming tea. (Lemon honey ginger detox tea, if you're curious!)
This is how Lilith prefers to finish a long day, herself.
While Morgyn cleans up the now-foul burgers, Caleb gets his flirt on.
*Jaws theme intensifies*
It's now Thursday proper! Morgyn continues their research.
Breakfast of champions.
Cassandra is most pleased to not actually be breakfast!
Caleb tells a gross joke...
...and gets very different reactions.
Cass does the adorable popcorn toss. Lilith likes the look of that snack.
Caleb: "They're showing off again, aren't they?"
"If I become one with the wall, no one can bother me."
Intense activity!
Meanwhile, Diego and Johnny... uh, have their own activities. Okay sorry make that Diego, Johnny, and Morgyn. They're playing Monopoly, you know how that gets!
Caleb knows what happens with Monopoly, yes.
Some nice healthy socialisation.
Lilith makes an ill-advised decision to investigate.
"Oh my Watcher, guess what I just saw!"
"And they didn't invite me?!"
Further reactions!
Morgyn...
M o r g y n . . .
I find it a little sad that every time Caleb talks to someone autonomously about vampirism, he immediately goes straight for talking about a cure
More sickness! Caleb has a headache, Lilith's head feels all stuffy, and earlier Morgyn was feverish, although they seem to have thrown it off for now.
This is not social distancing.
Lilith has a rare sleep. Which is good because Basketball Cannot Be Denied and she keeps going out in the sun.
Sicknesses continue! Cass has a rash, and now Diego has a stuffed head, too!
Which absolutely does not stop Don from flirting.
"Do you think maybe we'd see the fish better if we were standing on the side with the glass?"
Oh my god they're so cute. It's not like they're my main save OTP and it fills my heart with sunlight and happiness when they interact or anything.
Don shows up, Johnny immediately walks off and Caleb gives Don this look.
...oh okay it's because of his headache. I like my interpretation better, but okay!
After playing some basketball and showering, Caleb goes to chat with Don (willingly). "No hard feelings?"
Well here's a conundrum! Does Don have a good enough relationship to share with anyone out of Lilith, Morgyn, Johnny, or Malcolm?
Nope. He wakes up Johnny, who has an almost full energy bar anyway. Go eat a food, Johnny.
"HECC." (He's feeling very tense both from his weird leftover Ambitious debuffs even though I changed that trait to Romantic, and from his now pressurised head.)
You know what not the most clean or spacious location but I'll go with it. Have fun, boys
(Mods, they're both clothed. It's all good. Just some smooching.)
...well that's one way to get out of the house! (Teleport mishap. Back in you go, bby!)
Morgyn is tense (lack of employment), Johnny is... splotchy. Both are still very into their popcorn.
(Alas, I had a tragedy of a failed cap not properly saving, but Morgyn was sharing a bed with Diego earlier!)
It's 10 AM and Diego and Cass are still sleeping. Come on, guys, it's Challenge Day!
And they're up! I'll give them a bit of time to get their needs in order. Also, Don, Lilith, and Morgyn are currently. Busy. Playing Monopoly. On the bedroom floor. Okay it's literally 7 PM. Little bit of intervention - I'm going to teleport everyone to the pool area, put them in their swimwear, and remove the door. Time for the diving challenge!!
Big Brother 2020 - Challenge 1
This is going to be a two-part system - a challenge first for immunity, followed by voting. That's where you come in! I'm going to be including a strawpoll at the end with the losing team - have a vote, and you'll choose who goes home on Sunday!
So I'm doing 1-week seasons, so we'll be getting two... 'years', I guess, throughout the course of the series. The Sims is just kind of like that. It's summer at the moment, so let's go with a summery challenge! I'm dividing the housemates into two teams, and they'll be using the diving platform for points!
Works like this: each housemate will try to perform the three dives, the cannonball, the backflip, and the swan dive. For each dive performed correctly, they'll get one point. For each one done incorrectly, they'll neither gain nor lose points. For each lost swimsuit, they'll lose a point ;D In the end, the team with the highest number of points will gain immunity, and the losing team will be up for elimination!
To divide the teams, I used Random.org, which has a list randomiser. Listed everyone alphabetically, then shuffled the list. And we have!
Team Pineapple: Cassandra, Diego, Johnny, Malcolm.
Team Banana: Don, Morgyn, Lilith, Caleb.
(Just quietly, with two athletic Sims, I suspect Banana will be winning.)
And may the best housemates win!
The housemates are assembled (and the door has been removed. There is no escape!!). Don't they look thrilled.
First up is Lilith for Team Banana! LOOK OUT BELOW!
Cannonball: successful! Backflip: successful, but oh no, a lost suit! Swan dive: fail!
Cass does a cannonball successfully! Fails the backflip! Aaand fails the swan dive!
This is not a happy group.
Malcolm is too uncomfortable to dive, mostly because he's just peed himself, so I'm going to intervene to give him a bit more energy. Still, even after that, he refuses to jump, so... y'know what? I'm gonna call that a forfeit!
Four down, four to go! Next up is Diego! Somehow fails a cannonball, successfully backflips (of all things!) but loses his bathers, and is the first to make the swan dive!
Over to the bananas and Morgyn! Cannonball is successful, backflip is a fail, and swan dive is a success!
Caleb autonomously does a successful backflip, so I guess he's going next Cannonball fails (and he loses his suit!), and somehow he nails the swan dive, too!
Last but not least, Don! He nails the cannonball, nails the backflip, and nails the swan dive, and is the first to get a perfect score! Now go take a shower you smelly man!
Team Banana is ridiculously victorious, not just due to Malcolm's forfeit (he would have had to get 3/3 to even tie), and will have immunity for the next elimination! And that means the four members of Team Pineapple - Johnny, Cass, Malcolm, and Diego - are now up for elimination.
Here is the poll. Only your votes can save your favourites! (Just quietly, I think we know who's getting voted out, heh.)
A couple of pages ago I made a Maxis-Match, alien-themed Hooters restaurant. Was playing around with it today, sort of a dry run for a Youtube channel I'm thinking of starting.
Finally back after all my restarts to where I was in Lilsimsie's save (that triggered the first restart because I just wasn't happy with it and decided to make my own save file, and then bugs happened and yada yada...)
Important reminder to stop working at the Robotics workbench when you get your first electric shock. Or you most likely will fry the second time!
Alejandra pleaded with Grim and yes, her friend was spared. But you cannot always be that lucky.
Alejandra trying her skates for the first time... She only fell 10 times in an hour...
The graduation ceremony was on New Years Eve! So there were plenty of New Year toasts during the ceremony!
The Town Council in Strangerville first objected to the modern trailer Alejandra bought and wanted to place outside the trailer park. The Mayor, a man Alejandra didn't much care for (him being Evil and all) intervened and reminded everyone that she was the Hero Of Strangerville.
The Trailer was parked that afternoon.
Her friends and neighbors welcome her back to Strangerville from her University studies with a Hero's Welcome (Well a Fruitcake).
I need a little break from the desert, at least for a while, but not for long. Well the beautiful scenery of Sulani got me too.
The Sim Rangatira Otewai, who I've created is a manifested elemental spirit of Sulani. His mission is to help and protect Sulani.
My gamesave have around 75% females and the men are mostly mean, evil or kleptomanic or they are vampires or altogether. I found this too much, I need a better ratio . These basic thoughts I had, have quite funny results in the game, because when I started to play him everywhere (Realm of Magic, Britchester or Sulani) he was going to he was surround by the females, who have stopped their tasks, just to do a chat with him. He is ambitous, loves the nature and is a child of the sea. Well and he is really friendly and charming to everyone .
This is his colleague, her name is Emma Summer. She is also one of my created sim, but I've never played her for long.
Good morning! I didn't sleep well last night. I got up at 6:00am. It was a glorious morning, the air was crisp and the birds were singing. My three hens were happy to be let out into the run. I'm now listening to Heart UK!
First screenshot, this!
Heh, sometimes the image links have actual words in them. This time, it's 'FRET'.
Smooches from Pearl Victoria
Roddy went over to Pearl Victoria and Grace Valencia's house in Oasis Springs. Pearl gave Roddy a big smooch on the cheek when he came inside:
And then Pearl changed into a party outfit, and she gave Roddy several big smooches on his face:
Roddy went bright red and giggled. Pearl had covered his face in big, bright shiny red lipstick smooches:
He used one of his makeup removal wipes:
Pearl smiled and gave Roddy a big hug:
And then she gave him another big smooch on his cheek:
Roddy smiled and said goodbye:
And then he went to his next destination.
Spice festival and smooches
Shine joined Roddy at the spice festival. They took the spice challenge:
Shine lost, but Roddy conquered it!
Later, the pair went to the art centre. Roddy collected a few posters:
Afterwards, Shine gave Roddy a big loving hug:
'I love you, sweetie!' Shine said, smiling sweetly and batting her eyelashes at Roddy:
'I love you too, mummy!' Roddy said, cheerfully:
Shine smiled and gave Roddy several big smooches on his face:
Roddy went bright red and giggled. Shine had covered his face in big, shiny, bright pink lipstick smooches:
Roddy used a makeup removal wipe:
Later, Shine gave Roddy a big loving hug:
The pair then talked to each other:
And then Roddy gave Shine a big loving hug:
The pair then went back home. Shine fed her cowplant and gave it some attention:
And both Shine and Roddy went inside:
Sims 4 Family: Benjamin, Shine, Princess Roddy, Sophia and Hamish Furystrykar and Shelly Heart. Princess Roddy is my avatar, and he's a boy!
In my rotational Futurworld game I moved a new Sim into Willow Creek: Chad Everett. I did the usual, start learning cooking, get a job and I waited for the Welcome Wagon but it never happened! I guess all the other households in that street are all couples and they're far too loved up to go check out the new guy.
So in the end Chad just went out of his house and approached a random Townie, an attractive young adult redhead walking past his house and....it turns out she's an alien and she did a mind trick on him to make him Xenophilic. That wouldn't have happened if the darned Welcome Wagon had shown up!
I'm actually trilingual (English isn't my first language :'D ) but my country is very strict about the qualifications of teachers (which is good, obviously) which means I have to pass the entrance exams in order to major in English and also pass the test to be able to study another language as my minor.
Turning a hobby into a career is obviously very scary, especially something like art because you have to have that drive and passion for it. Especially, because you're probably gonna have to be a freelancer and I just don't think I have to entrepreneurialism for that and I also tend to procrastinate a lot, so I'd never get anything done. I know a lot of people wanna be their own boss but I kinda find comfort in not having to be in control of everything at work.
I mean, obviously there are people who do amazing traditional art with paint and colored pencils but I guess digital art is a lot easier to apply to freelance work if you're working as a graphic designer or something like that. And I do like to do traditional art sometimes but it's just a lot easier to do things digitally because you tweak the mistakes a lot easier.
I had a pregnancy gitch, my female sim wouldn't give birth so I tried to cheat but I forgot I just had clicked as her husband... yeah... they had three kids that day, twin boys from the wife and a girl from her husband ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@DeafSimmer Your last three segments are totally delightful. I enjoy how the next generation are similar in their friendship and deep connection as their mothers, but also of differing personalities. The segment on Sulani where the 'song' called to the one was scary. It was also very interesting that the mothers also became aware of it, by hearing it themselves, detecting a hint of evil about it. You are a clever storyteller. Sorry it's taken me so long to opine on it, but my email provider is playing some rather rude games with me. They would much rather I upgrade, which I refuse to do. I've had this account since 2001 and I see no reason, just because the original provider got bought out or partnered with a couple of other entities, they should make it extremely difficult for me to simply cull the massive amounts of emails I receive, to just the ones I wish to read. It's been a bit of a nightmare inside the RL nightmare of this pandemic. But, I have finally been able to glean through them today. And I pray I didn't miss a segment of your story.
Lol, Vlad gets around! A nice helpful Grand Master Vampire! 😅
And okay, the hier in the family does stay in their home. I think it's cool that you evolved from a rags-to-riches, and went easily into a legacy challenge. I think you are doing it in a very smart way, especially when the aspirations build on each other like that 😄
Awwww, I hope that was enough to at least let Peter know he's special, and that he didn't mean nothing to Dwayne. Just the opposite. And hmmm Dwayne basically says he'll wait. Yikes. I wonder for how long?
I'm very interested to see where Peter goes with his thoughts. At least he doesn't have to go anywhere dark. The whole "I never meant anything to him, and I loved him so much" kind of thing.
It was nice of Ned to say something to Dwayne about Peter. I wonder if he would have gone to talk to him if she hadn't?
And hmmm 5 wellyfants and a giraffe? They should have said ok to the horse 😂
Oh dang!! Lol, I just this second got a message that someone is stopping by at 3 to drop something off. I haven't done dishes in 4 days! They aren't supposed to come in, right? Lol. I'm going to go do them just in case.
I have to finish my thoughts to you in a couple of hours 😄
I loved it though! And I voted. Strangly it was unanimous when I voted. 😉 Not sure if it's changed now though
Comments
Then this townie appears...
@ChuChuExpress Omg I lol'd at your comment so much
@AlwaysAsking I really could've... that would be a disaster!
Thank you!
Meant to upload this earlier but I had terrible stomach cramps and couldn't do anything soo yeah
"Okay Morgan, you do realise that a horse is a lot of responsibility... horses require lots of attention... and care... and a huge house... So how about we get you a little fish instead?"
"HORSIE!"
"Um- I just explained why we can't have a horse. Also there are no horses on Sulani... But there are lots of fishes!"
"Horsieeee! Unicorns! WELLYFANT!"
"Now it's an elephant... One week straight and she's still not giving up!" Steve laughed.
"No she's not," Tony sighed. "I don't know whether I should be proud or annoyed..."
"Mm... I think we can be proud on this one... But we're not getting an elephant."
"Nope. No elephant."
(Agg I missed how cute they are!! 🥺 Luv them all so much
"Okay, how about we wait till you're a bit older an get you a cute little fish?"
"Wellyfant!"
"We'll get you a fish."
"TWO WELLYFANTS!"
"Okay, okay, we can consider getting you a hamster but that's as big as we're going."
"Yesterday we weren't going to get her anything - now we're considering a hamster..." Steve nervously chuckled. "Be careful - we might actually end up finding her a horse."
"No, no, no horses. We can't do horses, okay Morgan?"
"THREE WELLYFANTS! One GIRAFFE!"
"Morgan, this is ridiculous."
"Exactly, Morgan! Where exactly do you see giraffes here?"
"Don't you think a cute little fishy would be a better option?"
"Nu-uh."
"Morgan, we can't have an elephant, or a horse, or a unicorn, or a giraffe..."
"NU-UH!"
"Okay Morgan seriously..."
"Hey Peter! Everything okay?" While Tony and Morgan continued arguing about what pet they should get, Steve noticed a very unhappy Peter.
More under the cut:
"You sure?.."
"I'm fine, Pa. Just a bit... uh... hungry? I um- I'm just gonna go get a snack now..."
Steve felt that something was wrong, but it was hard to concentrate with Morgan constantly hitting him with her shoes and yelling "wellyfants" in his ear.
"Okay then... Morgan we're not getting a unicorn and that's final- Peter! Throw out the trash while you're there, will you?"
"No problem..."
Peter went straight to his room.
Dwayne's leaving, he thought. Dwayne's leaving... In a few days... Oh boy...
Did we have... Anything? I mean, we had that dance. And we texted for a few days. Then we sorta stopped but we had out chess matches and our basketball... Was it anything special or did I make it all up? I mean, why would he even like me? I'm so awkward I can't even say "I'm awkward as something" because I'm as awkward as myself and that's as awkward as it gets!
He probably never even though of it... He just said "see ya" and that was it...
Why now? Why does he have to leave now?..
Life became meaningless for Peter the next couple of days. He felt like there was nothing to look forward for, not even the slightest little thing. He just went through one day after the other.
Even favourite movies couldn't make Peter happy. There was absolutely nothing that could make Peter happy. Not with Dwayne leaving.
Tony and Steve didn't notice Peter's sudden depression. They were too busy negotiating Morgan's "pet" stage.
"Maybe we could get you a toy unicorn instead! A nice big fluffy toy, how does that sound?"
"Toy unicorn and five real wellyfants!"
"Honey, you've made it worse..."
Peter couldn't share his feelings with Ned and Michelle either. So he was left all alone in his thoughts.
"Why do I feel like my life is this super complicated chess match... And I have no idea which move to make..."
"Why is everything so hard... Dwayne is leaving tomorrow and we didn't even get to talk..."
Meanwhile...
"Sooo... what's up with you and Peter?"
"Nothing."
"Oh really... Nothing at all..."
Dwayne scoffed lightly.
"Leave me alone, Ned. It's none of your business."
"None of my business, excuse me!?" yelled Ned. "Peter is my best friend! An you're treating him like- like- Why do you give him hope if you're not interested? Can't you see that you're hurting him? Is this all a game to you!?"
"Chill out, you're overreacting. We're just friends," Dwayne sighed. "It's nothing."
"It may be nothing to you but it clearly is something for Peter! He's taking it seriously! And you better talk to him because you can't just leave him hanging like that-"
"Just leave me alone, Ned! You wouldn't understand!"
"Why, because I'm your sister?"
"Exactly! Now please can you just accept that me and Peter are friends! Nothing more - just friends!"
"Wow. You are such bonehead, bro. Maybe one day you'll realise that. Anyway, get off my bed."
"Why? You're staying at Michelle's tonight."
"Boneheads aren't allowed to sit on my bed. Bye."
Ned left. Dwayne sighed.
He knew exactly what to do.
Little did he know, Peter had the same idea.
Which lead them to meeting halfway.
"H-hey..." Peter stuttered. "I uh... I wanted to see you... um- You know what I mean- Since you're leaving and stuff."
"Yeah. I came to see you to. So... You wanna go play chess or something?"
Chess... didn't go as exciting as usually. Both Dwayne and Peter were awfully quiet.
"Dwayne?.. Can I uh... Ask you... something?"
"Yeah, sure," Dwayne replied, not looking at Peter.
"So... Speaking entirely theoretically... Just um... I was wondering..."
"Have you... ever... Thought of me... us... in a um..."
"Different way?.."
Dwayne looked up.
"Different way?"
"Yeeeah... Sorry, stupid question, forget I ever asked-"
On those words Dwayne suddenly leaned in for a kiss.
"You mean like that?" he nervously asked.
"Y-yeah," Peter exhaled in relief. He smiled, a bit shocked with the whole situation. "Something like that..."
Dwayne frowned.
"I thought of it," he quietly said. "And... I like you. I kinda liked you for a very long time now."
"You did? Well why didn't you say anything!? It's not like I can read your mind, you know! But it was pretty obvious that I liked you, you could've made a move!"
"No, we wouldn't work out," Dwayne shook his head.
"What? why... Is this about your college-"
"It has nothing to do with college."
"Well then what's the problem?" disappointedly yelled Peter. "If this is about you breaking everyone's hearts because apparently you're too good at socialising? Well I don't mind it and I have the opposite problem so I know what it's like and theoretically as opposites we should be perfect for each other-"
"This isn't about me breaking your heart, it's about you breaking mine," calmly explained Dwayne.
Peter paused.
"What?.."
"You're not in love with me, Peter. You think you are, but you're not."
"You're not making any sense..."
"You've had a couple of bad encounters in life and your best friends are dating eachother so it's only logical for your brain to think you're in love with me. But... I'm not the only nice person in the world. And you're worth being nice to, you deserve that, which is why eventually you'll have that. And one day you'll find a person you'll actually love and you'll want to be with that person. And if we'll be together, it's going to hurt both of us. A lot. Because I'm actually in love with you and you'll be too nice of a person to leave me... I thought about this a lot, okay? It's not a good idea..."
"Your words seem... fairly logical," Peter sighed. "But... I really do like you. And maybe someday I'll love someone more, I don't know! But whatever we are right now... it feels nice, don't you think?"
"Yeah," Dwayne smiled a bit. "It does. I never... I never felt anything like this to anyone else before. I don't really pick favourites between my friends but you're very special to me, Peter. Which is why I don't want everything to go wrong between us..."
"Well you're pretty special to me too..." hopefully said Peter.
"And I'm probably going to sound very selfish here but I don't see why we couldn't at least try..."
His palm gently touched Dwayne's hand.
"Probably could," Dwayne backed away quickly. "If I knew I would get accepted in college and we'd have to part ways anyway, I'd probably make a move. Could be fun... Too late to think about it now though."
"Well..." mumbled Peter "The night is still young?"
Dwayne smiled a bit.
"One night won't change anything, Peter" he said.
Peter took a deep breath.
"Well... I mean... It doesn't have too, does it? I-I just think we might regret not having it... I mean... You know..."
Instead of answering, Dwayne passionately kissed him.
And again.
And again...
"Hold on," he suddenly paused.
"What, what's wrong?"
"No, everything's great but... We're on the same page here, right? Everything's okay on your side?"
Peter smiled a bit and eagerly nodded.
"Good."
"Just making sure..."
"Peter," whispered Dwayne. "I've got a plane to catch."
"Mh... It's still early..." Peter muttered. Last night was wonderful. Probably the best night of his life. And right now it felt so nice to be held by Dwayne...
Peter wished it didn't have to end.
"My parents are going to kill me you know... Kinda weird how I'm not worried about it..."
"Yeah, probably should've called them... Actually I bet my parents did."
"WHAT? They... They didn't see us... Did they!?"
"This place has a ton of windows," Dwayne shrugged. "They probably figured you stayed for a sleepover..."
"Sleepover, huh?"
"Relax, they won't tell the details. That's our business. Oh and... don't tell Ned about this."
"What am I, invincible? She'll kill us both!.." Peter smiled. "I'm going to miss you so much..."
Dwayne sighed.
"Walk me to the bus station?" he softly asked.
Peter nodded.
Soon they were standing on the road leading to the airport.
"Well, there's my stop," Dwayne nervously smiled. "Britechester awaits."
"I still wish you didn't have to go..." Peter sighed.
"Hey, hey. Last night was great- perfect, even... for me. But you'll have nights better," reassured him Dwayne. "You'll find the right person for you eventually and that person probably won't be me. You need to understand your feelings, look at other options, take it slow, have fun... If after all of that you'll still be sure about me, I'll be waiting. But not now. Love is not something rush. Okay?"
"Yeah, suppose you're right..."
"Goodbye, Peter. Thanks for everything. You're... You're very special."
"Bye..."
Peter watched as Dwayne got in the bus, smiled and waved him a final goodbye. Peter waved back too.
He looked down as the bus drove away and softly smiled.
Anna Behr Munch
Birthdays
It is time for Anna & Lucas 3rd child to be born.
Welcome baby Mariana to the family.
I painted a masterpiece again today.
Time for a love song session at norebang.
Anna’s sister Britt Behr Le Chien came to play with Karl & Lisbeth.
It was the first harvest fest for the Behr Munch family.
Lucas & I went on a romantic date.
He read a beautiful poem he wrote for me. It made me feel loved.
It is birthday time for the kids right before the final exams.
Karl became a child.
Lisbeth became a child.
Mariana became a toddler.
Karl & Lisbeth did homework before they used the new crafting table.
Both Lucas & I got A+ on our first term. I sold some excellent paintings. Such money is good to have for two students with children.

The life of my sims. Elina & Don.
You're welcome! Awww, Morgan!
The first screenshot is this:
Afterwards, he visited Shelly Heart:
Shelly made a kissy face at Roddy, which made him giggle:
And then she gave Roddy several big smooches on his face:
Roddy went bright red and giggled. Shelly had covered his face in big, bright pink lipstick smooches:
Roddy used one of his makeup removal wipes:
Shelly smiled and gave Roddy a big loving hug:
The pair then chatted:
Afterwards, Shelly cuddled Roddy:
And then Roddy told a funny story:
Later on, Shelly made another kissy face at Roddy, which made him giggle again:
And then she gave Roddy several more big smooches on his face:
Roddy went bright red and giggled yet again. Shelly had covered his face in big, bright pink lipstick smooches:
Roddy used another makeup removal wipe:
Shelly smiled and gave Roddy another big loving hug:
Shelly then gave Roddy a big loving smooch on the cheek:
Roddy smiled and said goodbye:
Roddy then went back home.
Hey hey! May I ask where you got your cc lashes on the kids?
Ryland and Brynn had their baby boy -- Ryder Bishop.
I made a photography studio in game as a generic lot, so my sims have a place to get professional pictures done.
Example:
Brynn: "Heh heh... yup, that's me!
Brynn and Ryland eloped~
Some Winterfest Spirit:
All is calm...
All is bright...
@Koteyka I feel like Dwayne is overthinking. But I'm glad they had a good night for now. Morgan's adorable.
@Dust_Bunny2010 It all read well too me. A little stream of consciousness is normal under the circumstances. My favorite part was this: "Oh my Watcher I am gonna die! I am gonna die and I'm gonna die being judgmental of other people because mother was a narcissist and apparently I inherited it since I can't even trust a medical professional." Made me lol.
@DarkAngel1994 Love the happy ending! I missed one thing though, did Carmelita die?
Will you be moving on to the next generation, or to something new entirely?
@drakharis The kids look cool. I also love the cat in your profile pic.
@ryttu3k Yeah, poor Rosie. I'd let her have a mate but Millie will be getting married soon and I only want to expand the family one direction at a time. BTW I love what you've done with Hugo! When my nb sim ages up in a week or so I'm totally looking back at pics of some of your sims for inspiration for the new wardrobe.
@mercuryfoam Thanks! We're hanging in there.
@DeafSimmer I love how your dialogue perfectly captures becoming partners in crime! I still admire the way you write preteens. And you have some great shots in your last couple of posts.
@AlwaysAsking Yeah, I was just playing along and the thought of social distancing occurred to me and as if on cue she developed stripes... and then it was suddenly bear night and everyone was coming in in suits. So that's where my mind went.
So far we're feeling fine and I haven't heard any updates that anyone in my granddaughter's mother's house actually has come down with anything, so knock on wood but it looks ok right now. And yes, there are so many step family members and such in this family it gets almost comical to describe it at times! Glad I shortened to granddaughter instead of stepson's daughter at least, unlike when we first got married and I was self conscious about not being old enough to be a grandmother, lol. I haven't seen that movie since I was a teen I think, but it's enough in pop culture that I get the reference.
Also, yes these men are really pleasing to the eye. And they are the new household added to my rotation to accommodate Max, since Bo is the heir to the Bateman household, so Max will move in with them in Sulani.
I will not make it all the way back to your last update in these comments, but I look forward to more Don and Thorne with baby posts, and the reunion between Don and Mary Alice.
@s33man That is a lot of freckles! And they are both very cute.
@jonilla1 Ok, so I have never understood why people were so eager for sims with body hair until I saw your sim... yeah that's nice. All your sims are attractive, really. Enjoy your extra time to play!
@sarabeth2984 Can't wait for updates on Vivian and Father Winter (sorry if I spelled her name wrong, I didn't actually scroll all the way back to your post for reference).
@GalacticGal I am not scrolling back to your last post either but I did want to say again that I really enjoy seeing your sims in action! Hope this save remains stable for a long time for you.
So that's all the comments I have time for, and here are a few shots of grown up Millie Hecking.
She likes purple, loose flowing clothes, and is letting her curly hair free now after keeping it braided in her teen years. She took the snob trait, because I require every sim to have a fault, to go with her genius and loves outdoors traits. She will be following in Brent's footsteps in the conservationist career, but she'll take the Marine Biologist branch. As soon as Max grows up, they'll get engaged.
Thank you!
@Koteyka ah, young love. Morgan is a cute little kid. Romance is so complicated, when you don't really know your own feelings, let alone how the object of your affection feels about you...
So, what's been going on with the Harper-Jones family??
Jenny got invited to a dance party, which appears to be... outdoors.
Hopefully this cooking session goes better than the last one!
Always a good idea to teach your dog to sit.
Where's Jenny off to? She hasn't got work today...
Oh! They decided to adopt! This is little Joanna.
Ellie got spayed.
Aww, she can't lie down to sleep properly... it won't last long, Ellie!
It's currently Love Day. Joanna was due to age up the day after, but I always age up babies early. She turned into a sweet little kid! She's Inquisitive, and I thought it'd be extra cute to give her glasses!
Since it's Love Day, I'll send them on a lovely romantic date.
@Dust_Bunny2010 man, that's one way to end a festival! Eva as a doctor, huh? Yeah, that accidental heart removal is a bad sign XD Poor Dino. Well, cursed name or not, welcome to the world, Lilly!
@Koteyka oh goodness Morgie a pet elephant would be a lot of work XD Poor Peter, that must have hit really hard. Ned is a great character, just talk guys! ...Now that's an answer, yes! Bittersweet ending, I think. But yeah, the distance might help them both work out what they're feeling.
@DeafSimmer ooh, Astraea might have made a friend! I wonder if he is one? Kids don't get the tails, alas.
Back to the Big Brother house for days 4-6! It's currently Wednesday afternoon, going to do the first challenge on Friday morning, let's see if they manage to survive until then!
That done, let's see what everyone is doing. Cassandra has just made a plate of burgers! Thank you, Cass! Malcolm is ignoring them in favour of another bowl of popcorn, Diego is making fruit salad, Caleb is chatting to him. Morgyn and Don are flirting oh god. Johnny is napping on the sofa, Lilith is swearing in frustration due to her need for activity.
Check back with the others, and Morgyn is now flirting with Diego. Better choice, bby. "Like what you see?"
"Yes. Yes I do."
Personal space, guys!!
Now Lilith and Morgyn are flirting. Do I need to saltpetre the water, guys?!
Lilith: on the hunt. Diego: uncertain where this is going. Johnny: completely oblivious.
Finally, two Sims that aren't flirting!
I just really dig the difference in sibling interactions here. The Vatores are just hanging out and enjoying each other's company, and Malcolm is... autonomously yelling at Johnny.
Cass is above all this nonsense and just wants a working sink, guys.
LILITH NO.
She knows what she wants, at least!
Morgyn conducts some important research. More important than the trash behind them, apparently!
Johnny and Morgyn crash...
...while the girls get their sports on.
Malcolm is in the can, Diego is showering, and Caleb is in the pool. Don has discovered Cass's burgers and has... promptly put it down to complain about the trash.
Don attempts repair work while Diego is literally *popcorns*
The house makes its first money! There was 10 simoleons in the trash! Don still is deeply unimpressed.
TIL evil Sims have a 'laugh maniacally' option.
Don isn't too sure what to make of these veggie burgers.
Morgyn departs for Reasons...
...while Diego stares creepily at Cass. Dude there are literally two free beds?! And - holup.
Five of the eight are out for the count!
SPLASHED.
"NOT. FUNNY. LILITH." "lmao are you kidding it was hilarious."
Morgyn is quietly enjoying some late (or early? It's 2 AM) dinner...
...when Caleb disturbs the peace.
"Ooh, parts!" Morgyn honey is that sanitary?
Caleb has just spent 9 of their 10 simoleons on some nice calming tea. (Lemon honey ginger detox tea, if you're curious!)
This is how Lilith prefers to finish a long day, herself.
While Morgyn cleans up the now-foul burgers, Caleb gets his flirt on.
*Jaws theme intensifies*
It's now Thursday proper! Morgyn continues their research.
Breakfast of champions.
Cassandra is most pleased to not actually be breakfast!
Caleb tells a gross joke...
...and gets very different reactions.
Cass does the adorable popcorn toss. Lilith likes the look of that snack.
Caleb: "They're showing off again, aren't they?"
"If I become one with the wall, no one can bother me."
Intense activity!
Meanwhile, Diego and Johnny... uh, have their own activities. Okay sorry make that Diego, Johnny, and Morgyn. They're playing Monopoly, you know how that gets!
Caleb knows what happens with Monopoly, yes.
Some nice healthy socialisation.
Lilith makes an ill-advised decision to investigate.
"Oh my Watcher, guess what I just saw!"
"And they didn't invite me?!"
Further reactions!
Morgyn...
M o r g y n . . .
I find it a little sad that every time Caleb talks to someone autonomously about vampirism, he immediately goes straight for talking about a cure
More sickness! Caleb has a headache, Lilith's head feels all stuffy, and earlier Morgyn was feverish, although they seem to have thrown it off for now.
This is not social distancing.
Lilith has a rare sleep. Which is good because Basketball Cannot Be Denied and she keeps going out in the sun.
Sicknesses continue! Cass has a rash, and now Diego has a stuffed head, too!
Which absolutely does not stop Don from flirting.
"Do you think maybe we'd see the fish better if we were standing on the side with the glass?"
Oh my god they're so cute. It's not like they're my main save OTP and it fills my heart with sunlight and happiness when they interact or anything.
Don shows up, Johnny immediately walks off and Caleb gives Don this look.
...oh okay it's because of his headache. I like my interpretation better, but okay!
After playing some basketball and showering, Caleb goes to chat with Don (willingly). "No hard feelings?"
Well here's a conundrum! Does Don have a good enough relationship to share with anyone out of Lilith, Morgyn, Johnny, or Malcolm?
Nope. He wakes up Johnny, who has an almost full energy bar anyway. Go eat a food, Johnny.
"HECC." (He's feeling very tense both from his weird leftover Ambitious debuffs even though I changed that trait to Romantic, and from his now pressurised head.)
You know what not the most clean or spacious location but I'll go with it. Have fun, boys
(Mods, they're both clothed. It's all good. Just some smooching.)
...well that's one way to get out of the house! (Teleport mishap. Back in you go, bby!)
Morgyn is tense (lack of employment), Johnny is... splotchy. Both are still very into their popcorn.
(Alas, I had a tragedy of a failed cap not properly saving, but Morgyn was sharing a bed with Diego earlier!)
It's 10 AM and Diego and Cass are still sleeping. Come on, guys, it's Challenge Day!
And they're up! I'll give them a bit of time to get their needs in order. Also, Don, Lilith, and Morgyn are currently. Busy. Playing Monopoly. On the bedroom floor. Okay it's literally 7 PM. Little bit of intervention - I'm going to teleport everyone to the pool area, put them in their swimwear, and remove the door. Time for the diving challenge!!
Big Brother 2020 - Challenge 1
This is going to be a two-part system - a challenge first for immunity, followed by voting. That's where you come in! I'm going to be including a strawpoll at the end with the losing team - have a vote, and you'll choose who goes home on Sunday!
So I'm doing 1-week seasons, so we'll be getting two... 'years', I guess, throughout the course of the series. The Sims is just kind of like that. It's summer at the moment, so let's go with a summery challenge! I'm dividing the housemates into two teams, and they'll be using the diving platform for points!
Works like this: each housemate will try to perform the three dives, the cannonball, the backflip, and the swan dive. For each dive performed correctly, they'll get one point. For each one done incorrectly, they'll neither gain nor lose points. For each lost swimsuit, they'll lose a point ;D In the end, the team with the highest number of points will gain immunity, and the losing team will be up for elimination!
To divide the teams, I used Random.org, which has a list randomiser. Listed everyone alphabetically, then shuffled the list. And we have!
Team Pineapple: Cassandra, Diego, Johnny, Malcolm.
Team Banana: Don, Morgyn, Lilith, Caleb.
(Just quietly, with two athletic Sims, I suspect Banana will be winning.)
And may the best housemates win!
First up is Lilith for Team Banana! LOOK OUT BELOW!
Cannonball: successful! Backflip: successful, but oh no, a lost suit! Swan dive: fail!
Johnny looks like he's volunteering to go next!
Cannonball: successful! Backflip: successful! Swan dive: fail! "OH WATCHER THAT SMARTS!!"
And so on!
Cass does a cannonball successfully! Fails the backflip! Aaand fails the swan dive!
This is not a happy group.
Malcolm is too uncomfortable to dive, mostly because he's just peed himself, so I'm going to intervene to give him a bit more energy. Still, even after that, he refuses to jump, so... y'know what? I'm gonna call that a forfeit!
Four down, four to go! Next up is Diego! Somehow fails a cannonball, successfully backflips (of all things!) but loses his bathers, and is the first to make the swan dive!
Over to the bananas and Morgyn! Cannonball is successful, backflip is a fail, and swan dive is a success!
Caleb autonomously does a successful backflip, so I guess he's going next
Last but not least, Don! He nails the cannonball, nails the backflip, and nails the swan dive, and is the first to get a perfect score! Now go take a shower you smelly man!
And here is the scoreboard!
Team Banana
Lilith Vatore: 1 / 1 (and -1) / 0 = 1
Morgyn Ember: 1 / 0 / 1 = 2
Caleb Vatore: 0 (and -1) / 1 / 1 = 1
Don Lothario: 1 / 1 / 1 = 3
Total: 7
Team Pineapple
Johnny Zest: 1 / 1 / 0 = 2
Cassandra Goth: 1 / 0 / 0 = 1
Malcolm Landgraab: 0
Diego Lobo: 0 / 1 (and -1) / 1 = 1
Total: 4
Team Banana is ridiculously victorious, not just due to Malcolm's forfeit (he would have had to get 3/3 to even tie), and will have immunity for the next elimination! And that means the four members of Team Pineapple - Johnny, Cass, Malcolm, and Diego - are now up for elimination.
Here is the poll. Only your votes can save your favourites! (Just quietly, I think we know who's getting voted out, heh.)
Ladies and gents, welcome to Uranus Bar & Grill:
Finally back after all my restarts to where I was in Lilsimsie's save (that triggered the first restart because I just wasn't happy with it and decided to make my own save file, and then bugs happened and yada yada...)
Important reminder to stop working at the Robotics workbench when you get your first electric shock. Or you most likely will fry the second time!
Alejandra pleaded with Grim and yes, her friend was spared. But you cannot always be that lucky.
Alejandra trying her skates for the first time... She only fell 10 times in an hour...
The graduation ceremony was on New Years Eve! So there were plenty of New Year toasts during the ceremony!
The Town Council in Strangerville first objected to the modern trailer Alejandra bought and wanted to place outside the trailer park. The Mayor, a man Alejandra didn't much care for (him being Evil and all) intervened and reminded everyone that she was the Hero Of Strangerville.
The Trailer was parked that afternoon.
Her friends and neighbors welcome her back to Strangerville from her University studies with a Hero's Welcome (Well a Fruitcake).
Most importantly, I got to meet my granddaughter. Alvina Midnight.
The Sim Rangatira Otewai, who I've created is a manifested elemental spirit of Sulani. His mission is to help and protect Sulani.
My gamesave have around 75% females and the men are mostly mean, evil or kleptomanic or they are vampires or altogether. I found this too much, I need a better ratio
This is his colleague, her name is Emma Summer. She is also one of my created sim, but I've never played her for long.
Even the dolphin likes him.
First screenshot, this!
Heh, sometimes the image links have actual words in them. This time, it's 'FRET'.
And then Pearl changed into a party outfit, and she gave Roddy several big smooches on his face:
Roddy went bright red and giggled. Pearl had covered his face in big, bright shiny red lipstick smooches:
He used one of his makeup removal wipes:
Pearl smiled and gave Roddy a big hug:
And then she gave him another big smooch on his cheek:
Roddy smiled and said goodbye:
And then he went to his next destination.
Shine lost, but Roddy conquered it!
Later, the pair went to the art centre. Roddy collected a few posters:
Afterwards, Shine gave Roddy a big loving hug:
'I love you, sweetie!' Shine said, smiling sweetly and batting her eyelashes at Roddy:
'I love you too, mummy!' Roddy said, cheerfully:
Shine smiled and gave Roddy several big smooches on his face:
Roddy went bright red and giggled. Shine had covered his face in big, shiny, bright pink lipstick smooches:
Roddy used a makeup removal wipe:
Later, Shine gave Roddy a big loving hug:
The pair then talked to each other:
And then Roddy gave Shine a big loving hug:
The pair then went back home. Shine fed her cowplant and gave it some attention:
And both Shine and Roddy went inside:
So in the end Chad just went out of his house and approached a random Townie, an attractive young adult redhead walking past his house and....it turns out she's an alien and she did a mind trick on him to make him Xenophilic. That wouldn't have happened if the darned Welcome Wagon had shown up!

I'm actually trilingual (English isn't my first language :'D ) but my country is very strict about the qualifications of teachers (which is good, obviously) which means I have to pass the entrance exams in order to major in English and also pass the test to be able to study another language as my minor.
Turning a hobby into a career is obviously very scary, especially something like art because you have to have that drive and passion for it. Especially, because you're probably gonna have to be a freelancer and I just don't think I have to entrepreneurialism for that and I also tend to procrastinate a lot, so I'd never get anything done. I know a lot of people wanna be their own boss but I kinda find comfort in not having to be in control of everything at work.
I mean, obviously there are people who do amazing traditional art with paint and colored pencils but I guess digital art is a lot easier to apply to freelance work if you're working as a graphic designer or something like that. And I do like to do traditional art sometimes but it's just a lot easier to do things digitally because you tweak the mistakes a lot easier.

Update of Beach Legacy Patrick + Juniper Generation 2
Patrick's aspiration is Friend of Animals so I adopted another dog. Right now we can only fit one pet in our household.
Summer has a birthday.
Her twin, Matt, also has a birthday.
Juniper goes from young adult to adult.
So does Patrick.
Patrick's final grades!
And his new career!
Sorry, emergency cleaning to do! I'll be back for the rest of you, and second updates I didn't get to lol
@Chrinnie
Lol, Vlad gets around! A nice helpful Grand Master Vampire! 😅
And okay, the hier in the family does stay in their home. I think it's cool that you evolved from a rags-to-riches, and went easily into a legacy challenge. I think you are doing it in a very smart way, especially when the aspirations build on each other like that 😄
@jonilla1
Oh dear! I have a feeling that something more than studying is going to happen when she goes to that guys room.
Her poor ginger fiance 😢
@Daravi
Wow! Rangatira is really cool looking!
What will you be doing with him?
@Lucy_Henley
Ellie sure is a lucky dog! A meat bed 😂 a new collar watching her favorite obsession and going on a walk! What more is there in life?
I'm so glad Sue was ok!
@s33man
Holy cow! Your new computer must be fabulous! All ultra settings? I want it!
Brynn is cute 😊 and she and Rayland go great together. I love his flirty moves 😂
Your other sim is pretty. I hope she gets a good start in her dream career! 😊
@ArcherDK
Bella and Akira! Well, ok
Do you know who the other parent is with Victoria? Is it a Spellcaster?
I'm sure she'll do fine as a single mother 😅 The automatic day care system will see to that! (If only it was so easy in real life)
@calaprfy
😳!
😂😄😅 Best townie ever. Definitely related to the squirrel spotting.
@Koteyka
Awwww, I hope that was enough to at least let Peter know he's special, and that he didn't mean nothing to Dwayne. Just the opposite. And hmmm Dwayne basically says he'll wait. Yikes. I wonder for how long?
I'm very interested to see where Peter goes with his thoughts. At least he doesn't have to go anywhere dark. The whole "I never meant anything to him, and I loved him so much" kind of thing.
It was nice of Ned to say something to Dwayne about Peter. I wonder if he would have gone to talk to him if she hadn't?
And hmmm 5 wellyfants and a giraffe? They should have said ok to the horse 😂
@ryttu3k
Wow! Can I just say wow! My guy came through!! 🥰
I won't say more than that about that now 😊 lol
Oh dang!! Lol, I just this second got a message that someone is stopping by at 3 to drop something off. I haven't done dishes in 4 days! They aren't supposed to come in, right? Lol. I'm going to go do them just in case.
I have to finish my thoughts to you in a couple of hours 😄
I loved it though! And I voted. Strangly it was unanimous when I voted. 😉 Not sure if it's changed now though
